"You are self-centered. Everything you did was never for her sake."

The words stung, but the apparition disappeared the moment it said it, just as sudden as it appeared. To Lelouch, who had been a firm believer in facts before baseless guessing; The apparition was the very one that was mentioned in the post Yu made; which, if his words were to be believed.

"Wasn't it? Then tell me the answer-"

He spoke to thin air, just as the apparition appeared once more, his figure being a mockery of the chess piece Zero was based off.

"You, of all people should know better, about how I feel about her."

All the accusation did, unfortunately, was to cause the masked figure to shudder, before letting loose a surreal laugh, lacking any manner of sanity.

"Her? She's just something you used for a reason to take over the world! Hell, all you wanted was to let everyone feel the pain of being dethroned from their rightful position!"

To those wandering around the area, you might see the two of them arguing over their past actions.

"Simple."

Zero, with a swish of his hand, just like the olden times; snapped his fingers, all the while saying these... words...

"I want to erase him from this world."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku's eyes narrowed and within a moment he had closed the distance, reaching out to grab Zero's cloak. "I wont let you do that."

[doublechecks]

"Of course, you'll say that to save your precious king, Suzaku, after the countless betrayals you have done to me."

If it isn't clear enough, the Shadow is sneering as darkness begins to pool below his feet, as Lelouch realized with wide-eyes that something bad is about to happen if that's left unchecked.

"Suzaku, get away from him, now!"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku's eyes narrowed, his fist tightened in Zero's cloak and he tried to ignore the darkness. Lelouch's words made him move though, he let go and moved over the room to stand in front of Lelouch, between him and his shadow.

[doublechecks]

And with that, darkness engulfed the Shadow as Lancelot Albion appeared, while Zero disappeared to who knows where.

"I am a Shadow, the true self. And I shall start by wrecking those you hold dear!"

[swordofzero]

Okay this had got even stranger. Suzaku went into a fighting stance; though fighting against the Lacelot was futile he knew. "Lelouch, get out of here."

[doublechecks]

"No."

...A refusal came out from within his mouth, if that Shadow really was what Yu warned all of them about earlier, then certainly it wanted to tell him something. Escaping it would be fruitless as in the end, that thing is a part of him, and of course it'd know where he'd be.

"This is my own problem. I should be the one to take care of it."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku glared at him, "Like you could fight it." He was ready, still stood in between Lelouch and the mecha. "How are you planning to take care of it? You cannot Geass a machine."

[doublechecks]

"Who said I'm fighting it?"

...That sentence does not sound like it is good news at all; which is the truth as Zero appeared before them once more, before running away from the both of them, as if egging Lelouch on to pursue it.

"Forgive me Suzaku, but it seems like I keep on piling burdens on you."

That said, Lelouch's going to ditch Suzaku with the Lancelot, who... surprisingly let Lelouch go before blocking Suzaku's path once more.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku blinked, and watched as Lelouch ran after Zero leaving him with Lancelot. Well...

Suzaku got ready to fight, fighting Lancelot... This place got more twisted every day.
