Description
Tokyo, 8:23 p.m. The Ikaruga was in position above the city, and several ground force Knightmares took their positions, as well as the Shinkiro, Akatsukis and Koga Saburo.

Zero: Still working on that Float Unit, for the Tenkai?
Guilford: Afraid so. Hopefully, Darlton can keep the destruction to a minimum.
Zero: He's a heavy weapons guy, so he better be careful.
Guilford: He and his sons are fighters, so whatever ground units come by, they'll be ready. Plus, all the other Burais on standby, in the construction sites.
Zero: Oh, yeah, we never got to use those...
Guilford: There are loads of designs for Burais and Sutherlands.
Ohgi: Done talking, guys?
Guilford: Yeah, I ran out of things to talk about- Wow, that's a lot.

Zero and Guilford saw the large army of Britannian airships and Knightmares approaching Tokyo, as well as some Enclave Knightmares.

Zero: At first, I thought to use the Gefjun Disturbers on the trains to get into Tokyo. But, it's good how plans change.

Zero pressed a button on a detonator, and the Gefjun Disturbers activated, projecting waves outside the city, rather than inside it. The approaching Knightmares and battleships suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, exploding before they could reach Tokyo.

Ohgi: Nicely done!
Tohdoh: Guess they don't have anything other than Sakuradite, to run their Knightmares and ships.
Zero: Unfortunately, I can only use that move, so many times. The generators need a couple minutes to recharge.
Tamaki: Damn...
Zero: What's the status of the Guren?
Lloyd: Almost done! Although, I think the caffeine is starting to wear out.
Rakshata: We're both going to need some sleep, after we're done.
Zero: You've earned it. And, Xingke's condition?
Ohgi: He's out, like a light. That fight with the Knight of One really drained him.
Zero: That must mean Bismarck isn't in top condition, either.
Suzaku: (Lancelot Conquista flies out of Ikaruga) I'm all set, now!
Zero: (thinking) Suzaku... You wanted to save me. I know that. You were right to run off, when you did. I'm not letting you have any more regrets. (out loud) Another wave, incoming! We've got a fight!

Several more airships and Knightmares entered the city, some going to the ground, the rest staying in the air.

Zero: We're not letting these sons of bitches take what isn't theirs, again!
Tohdoh: I've still got some anger to work through. We're paying you back, for the lives you've taken! (Zangetsu charges forward)

Meanwhile, at Kyoto, the Tokyo Mavericks were fighting off the Britannian and Enclave forces, the Masakado slashing through five Gareths and destroying their Hadron Cannons.

Alistair: We're not letting these guys get to Tokyo! Take out as many as you can!
Mavericks: (in unison) Right!
Nunnally: Alistair, the Yorktown seems to be near Tokyo!
Alistair: Then, let's deal with them, quicker! (Masakado dodges plasma blast) Oh, you are so gonna get it!

Back at Tokyo, the battle between the Black Knights and Britannia had begun, gunfire, explosions, clashing melee weapons and energy blasts ringing out across the sky. Sutherlands, Gloucesters, Gareths and Vincents were being destroyed, left and right, by the Black Knights and Tokyo Mavericks Knightmares. In the city, some Enclave Knightmares came upon a construction site, led by a heavily armed and armored Sutherland, called the Sutherland REVO. The REVO approached a Knightmare continuing its construction duties.

Enclave Commander: Hey! If you're not part of the battle, clear out, or die! Hell, we may as well kill you, anyway.
Tokyo Maverick: Oh, I dunno... I've been looking to fight in this thing, for quite some time!

The Powered Type Burai turned around and clamped its scissor claws onto the Sutherland REVO, crushing the armor and electrocuting it, as well as the power armored pilot, inside. The commander yelled as his Knightmare exploded. Before the rest of the Enclave squad could react, a Drill Type Burai jumped down and piereced the cockpit of a Special Weapons Type Sutherland, and a Special Weapons Burai struck a Gloucester with its wrecking ball. Before an Electronic Warfare Type Sutherland could attempt to attack, a Close Combat Sutherland pressed its tonfas against the back of the cockpit.

Black Knight: To be frank, I hate conspiracies, with a passion.

The Close Combat Sutherland shocked the Electronic Warfare Type Sutherland with its electromagnetic tonfas, destroying it.

Back in the skies above Tokyo, the Koga Saburo slashed through an entire squad of Gareths, stopping them from shooting down the Ikaruga.

Koga Saburo: Better than any spear, wouldn't you say?
Guilford: Yeah... With this, I can beat even Vincents.
Koga Saburo: Hey, I never really thought of putting my swords together.
Guilford: They're so thin...yet, so strong.
Koga Saburo: It's not simply the weapons, themselves. It's the one using them.
Guilford: Right... Nonetheless, we will defend this country!

The Shinkiro destroyed several Knightmares with its wrist-mounted Hadron Cannons, and cut apart two with one swing of its axe.

Zero: The weight between me and Suzaku... It's gone... I feel...alive. I haven't forgotten what I have to do...I just needed some invigoration. Suzaku, on me!
Suzaku: Roger, Zero!

The Lancelot Conquista prepared to fire its Hadron Blaster, alongside the Shinkiro, with its Tesla Cannon. Both energy weapons fired upon the airships, destroying the armada.

Suzaku: (smiles) Looks like we make a good team.
Zero: (smiles) We've always been a good team.
