Description "When there is chaos, order shall rise. When there is order, chaos shall rise. It doesn't matter whether a person sides with order or chaos. When order oppresses all life, revolution will end chaos and bring proper change." -Max Daughtry, 36th President of the United States of America. 1945-2007 a.t.b.

How should a story begin? Tragedy? Or, perhaps, a joyous occasion? The story that is about to be told is different. It starts off far into the past. That's right, there's history. Get used to it, because it'll explain a lot.

You see, the United Kingdom, which is home to England, was facing a bit of a desperate situation. Then, the situation took control of the entire country and renamed it the Holy Empire of Britannia. Britannia tried to take over the United States of America during the Revolutionary War, but that backfired greatly. Since then, Britannia hadn't set foot on U.S. soil and the U.S. utilized the reconstruction plans that were accidentally left behind by the Britannians.

About over a century later, America prospers but Europe is caught up in two World Wars. So, we decided to send some help and stopped all evil intentions in the European continent and stopped meaningless genocide, twice.

Then, in 2007 of the Britannian calendar, Britannia is kicked out of their home turf by the European Union and flees for America. There was no peace to be brought with them, only conquest. They set foot on the U.S. with their autonomous, chaos-bringing death machine: the Knightmare Frame. Most of the people tried to resist, but...

Let's just say that it didn't end well for anybody, adults or otherwise. The President at the time, Max Daughtry, was killed by the Vice President, Samuel Hawking, right in front of the Secret Service agents that were defending Daughtry. The Vice President welcomed Britannia with open arms, ignoring the will of the American citizens that survived Britannia's genocidal onslaught.

But Hawking knew there was a fail-safe plan in case the President was killed in-office, a candidate to succeed Daughtry. Hawking had that presidential candidate locked away, so there would be no trouble with Britannia.

Two years later, after Britannia retakes the UK by completely destroying London, Hawking unleashes his trump card: Civility Enforcement, LLC. Civility utilized heavy military firepower and every person who worked for the mercenary organization was a cyborg. Utilizing everything that was funded by Hawking, they overpowered Britannia and forced them out of America. This was not an act of heroics, however. Everything that Civility and Hawking did was to place America into a different form of tyranny than what Britannia introduced. A tyranny that desired civil war. Specifically, Civil War II.

In order to create another Civil War, Hawking re-founded the Confederate States of America and became its President. Chaos erupted across the continent, territories fought over, gangs and other such factions rose to such an opportunity. Murder, destruction, cruelty, sadism. That's all that was taught to the American populace. If they didn't heed to such things, then they were sentenced to death. It was practically Hell on Earth.

After nearly a decade passed, both Civility and the Confederacy were stopped and Hawking was killed by the proper U.S. military. The fail-safe candidate, Seth Kimball, that's me, by the way, was decreed the new President of the United States and America prospered once again.

What America does not know is that Britannia took over Japan after they were kicked out by Civility. Especially since America shared what the Britannians left behind with Japan, we still had no idea that such a thing happened.

The good behind all the chaos and destruction that Britannia brought during the Revolutionary War was that music, art, entertainment, clothes, weapons, combat, even speech have evolved over the years. But reconstruction of society in America after Civility and Hawking took over was the number one priority at the time. People can still enter Japan by air or sea, but should expect Britannia to not treat the Japanese too kindly.

Mercenaries have been on the rise ever since Civility reigned over America, especially ones with good natures, though these types of mercenaries are rare. Although these good natures can influence decisions, they do not stop their pure skill. So, if you pit an evil empire that seeks world domination, brining chaos and anarchy wherever they go, against one of these mercenaries, one which chaos and anarchy fear, a paragon, if you will... What would happen?

The prologue was interesting. It got me hooked. I personally think that having something different happen in the story of Code Geass is good, because sometimes people like a 'what if' scenario. I am deeply curious if you are going to use the same characters or brand new characters.

The only slight issue I have with the prologue is that there could have been separate paragraphs, since the writing is all squeezed in together. I also would have liked a little dialogue from certain characters in this chapter, even if it has to be mysterious characters who's names we do not know yet.

This was just purely background narration. Like the original anime, except with Keith David for English and Takaya Kuroda (aka Kazuma Kiryu [Ryu Ga Gotoku]) for Japanese. It's supposed to have a Borderlands feel to it, a more human approach, as if the narrator has seen the crap that's gone down. This is an approach for a "good ending," but there's bad events for others, in the process.
