Description
2017 a.t.b., Narita. Cornelia was in the midst of taking the fight to the Black Knights, when five unknown Knightmares ambushed them. The strange Burais wielded katanas whose blades resembled that of a chainsaw.

Guilford: The Japan Liberation Front!
Cornelia: Oh, shit! Chainsaw swords! I want one!
Guilford: Not the time, Viceroy!
Cornelia: Okay, fine. Look, I'll deal with Zero. You... Just don't die. You're the closest thing I've got to a friend, in this god damn mess. Head to point 9, when you're done.
Guilford: Understood. And... Thank you.
Senba: Cornelia! (Burai charges at Cornelia's Gloucester)
Cornelia: Nope! (Gloucester bashes Burai with lance)

Meanwhile, Zero and a group of Black Knights were taking cover from enemy fire.

Black Knight: Uh... Now what?
Zero: We can't break formation.
Tamaki: We'll be screwed if we do?
Zero: Exactly.
Kallen: Zero! Cornelia's royal guard are under attack.
Zero: Huh? Who did that?
Kallen: Not our guys. Looks like JLF. Are those chainsaw katanas? Why don't we have those!? That's bullshit!
Zero: (thinking) Someone gets it? Alright, roll with it. (out loud) I'm jealous, too, but now's not the time! While they distract the elite bastards, we'll take Cornelia!
Kallen: Intend to kill?
Zero: That...would probably piss off the Mavericks. Specifically, their ace pilot.
Tamaki: Extracting intel? Fine by me.

Back with Guilford, Tohdoh and the Four Holy Swords were putting up a fight against Cornelia's elite unit, and Guilford was engaged with Tohdoh's unit.

Guilford: (thinking) So... This must be him. Area 11's shining knight. Tohdoh. (out loud) Bring it, then! You may have a chainsaw sword, but I won't back down!
Tohdoh: Go ahead and try!

Meanwhile, Darlton and the remaining units that survived the landslide were fighting JLF resistance.

Darlton: God's sake!
Soldier: What do we do!?
Darlton: We need to get back to Viceroy Cornelia!
Soldier: What about the main base!? It's right in front of us! If we're hit from behind, we'll be wiped out!
Darlton: We can't keep up the battle, here, anyway! If Princess Cornelia's taken, then we've already lost! Now, we need to get our asses down there!
Soldier: Y-Yes, sir!

Immediately, the Gloucesters accompanying Darlton's unit fell off of the mountain, due to the ground crumbling beneath them, causing the soldiers to scream as they fell.

Darlton: Dammit, no!

The ground beneath Darlton's Gloucester began crumbling, as well.

Darlton: That does not sound good! (Gloucester begins falling) Shit!

Back with Guilford, Tohdoh could barely keep up with Guilford's combat skills.

Tohdoh: Fierce one, aren't you!?
Guilford: Very much so, yes.
Villetta: (over radio) Lord Guilford! Zero's on the move, again!
Guilford: Damn. Where's he going?
Villetta: The projected course says that Zero's heading for point 9!
Guilford: What?! No! Princess Cornelia!

At Cornelia's location, Cornelia's Gloucester was standing in front of the Guren Mk. II, who had ambushed her.

Cornelia: Yeah. I see it.

Meanwhile, in the skies above Narita, Alistair saw that Cornelia had been ambushed, and decided to join in.

Alistair: Now's the time, man. I'm going in!
Tokyo Maverick: Prepare for insertion!
Alistair: S-850! Prepare for a HALO jump!

Back with Cornelia, her Gloucester began engaging the Guren.

Kallen: Cornelia!
Cornelia: Bring it! I'm a blood knight! I live to fight!

Cornela's Gloucester thrust its lance at the Guren, but missed, and backed away.

Cornelia: That's not a customized unit. It looks really good. Melee expert. Son of a bitch.

Immediately, Cornelia heard gunshots hit the ground behind her, and a familiar voice rang out.

Zero: Can you hear me, Cornelia?
Cornelia: Son of a bitch. How the hell did you catch up?
Zero: Does it really matter?
Cornelia: Yeah, you're right.
Zero: Anyway, this is checkmate. If you want to celebrate our reunion, you'll have to surrender to us. Also, I have a few questions that I want to ask you.
Cornelia: Says you! If I beat Lady Red Hot, over there, I'm as good as gone!

Cornelia's Gloucester reengaged the Guren by opening fire on it with its SMG. However, the Guren's speed proved troublesome, and Cornelia switched to using its Slash Harkens. The Guren caught one of the Harkens with its fork knife.

Cornelia: Dammit! I want one of those, too!

Cornelia's Gloucester tried to attack the Guren with its lance, again, but the Guren caught it with its right hand, and Kalen activated the Radiant Wave Surger. As the energy engulfed the Gloucester's right arm, Cornelia immediately detached it.

Cornelia: Huh. Well, then. I lost against you. Guren, right? Not bad.
Alistair: Incoming!

As the familiar voice rang out, everyone looked up and saw a Knightmare falling from the sky. Once it landed and the dust cleared, the S-850 looked up and stood up.

Alistair: 'Sup?
Cornelia: Then, there's this guy!
Zero: You, again?! Where the hell did you come from?!
Alistair: The sky.
Cornelia: You and I have a score to settle, Maverick!
Alistair: Bring it, Blood Knight. You think you can take me with one arm? This bad boy survived a HALO jump.
Cornelia: You used a Knightmare for a HALO jump?!
Kallen: Hold it! We're not done!
Alistair: Guren. I've got this.
Cornelia: That's what you think, ace. Guilford and Darlton may be frightened of you, but I'm not. They keep hearing rumors upon rumors about you, and I don't believe them. Not one bit. I don't deal in rumors, I deal in facts. And, here's a fact for you... By the end of this, you are going to be crying. Like a little...bitch.
Alistair: (pauses) I get the feeling that you're jealous of me.
Cornelia: Snarky prick!

Cornelia's Gloucester fired at the S-850 with its SMG and the S-850 dodged every bullet by weaving in place, like a boxer.

Cornelia: What the shit?!
Alistair: All part of the Dempsey Roll, Blood Knight.
Cornelia: But... How?! No Sutherland is that fast!
Alistair: What can I say, Cornelia? I'm a leaf on the wind. Wanna keep watching me soar?
Cornelia: I'll show you a leaf on the wind! (Gloucester's SMG clicks empty) Shit...
Alistair: Let me get that, for you.

The S-850 drew one of its SMGs and shot at Cornelia's Gloucester's remaining arm, removing it from the socket.

Cornelia: God dammit!
Alistair: You done?
Cornelia: I've still got Slash Harkens! (Gloucester launches Slash Harken) Even though you're an ace pilot, you still forget about the Knightmare's basic con-...!

Before Cornelia could finish her sentence, the S-850 caught the Slash Harken with its right hand, dealing no damage.

Cornelia: (frightened) ...-text?
Alistair: So, contextually speaking...(S-850 crushes Harken in its grasp, and lets go)...how screwed are you?
Cornelia: (Gloucester kneels down) Wow... I... I can't top that.
Alistair: Alright, then. Zero, don't kill her. She's pretty fun, when she's not making an evil ass of herself.
Cornelia: Who do you think is forcing the issue?
Zero: "Forcing the issue"?

Immediately, a Sutherland emerged from behind the Black Knights.

Soldier: Viceroy! I'm here to back you up!
Alistair: Really, now? Well, at least I get to test out the holy grail.

The S-850's cockpit opened and Alistair, with the hood of his jacket covering his face, emerged and aimed the sniper rifle that he acquired from the secret armory at the Sutherland.

Cornelia: Uh... Why does that gun look familiar?
Soldier: You think a gun like that can destroy a Knightmare? Go ahead! Try!
Alistair: If you insist.

Alistair fired the sniper rifle at the Sutherland, and the gunshot was, perhaps, the loudest one that Cornelia and the Black Knights have ever heard, as it echoed across the area. The bullet went straight through the cockpit of the Sutherland and through the heart of the pilot, then the Sutherland exploded.

Alistair: I upgraded this bad boy, myself. 8 bullets. Bolt-action.
Cornelia: The Hecate II! That's an anti-materiel rifle!
Alistair: Bingo! This the holy grail among sniper rifles. Amazing enough that it was issued to Japan.
Cornelia: Yeah! And, none of my guys are capable snipers! Your Hecate II can destroy Knightmares. Let's not fight, right now.
Alistair: We're not fighting, anyway.

Immediately, the wall near Cornelia was destroyed and the white Knightmare from Lake Kawaguchi appeared, holding a strange rifle.

Zero: Again!? Him, again!?
Alistair: So, you're here, too, huh? Impressive entry. The only way you could've made it straight through that was if that rifle was an energy weapon. Am I right?
Knightmare: (says nothing)
Alistair: Not gonna share? Rude-ass.

Meanwhile, Guilford's fight with Tohdoh was not going in his favor, until he received word that the white Knightmare, called the Lancelot, was going to rescue Cornelia.

Guilford: If it's the Lancelot, we have nothing to worry about.
Villetta: Huh? Are you reinforcements? Why are you behind me? Why aren't your IFFs active? (screams)

Guilford looked and saw that the rest of the Purebloods' Sutherlands were destroyed by other Sutherlands.

Guilford: Hey! What's with the friendly fire!?

The Sutherlands walked out of the shadows of the trees and Guilford saw that the Sutherlands looked different than the original model. Dark blue, a more sinister look and design and more destructive weaponry. Guilford recognized the Sutherlands, immediately.

Guilford: Oh, bite me in the ass!

Back with Alistair, the Lancelot aimed its energy rifle at Alistair and the S-850.

Alistair: So, you want a piece, huh? Fine. Allow me to oblige you, Fallen White Knight.

Alistair fired the Hecate II at the Lancelot and the bullet appeared to have connected with the arm the Lancelot was blocking with. When the smoke cleared, the Lancelot was unscathed, thanks to the energy shield it was equipped with.

Alistair: Energy shield?! Are you freaking serious?!
Cornelia: Prototype unit. Seventh gen.
Alistair: I know! (closes cockpit) If you're gonna fight anybody, Cornelia's gotta leave!

The S-850 picked up Cornelia's Gloucester and lifted it above its head.

Cornelia: Wait, what?! Don't you do it, you bastaaard!

Cornelia's voice drifted further away as the S-850 threw the Gloucester away from the area. The S-850 went to a cliff and stopped.

Alistair: See ya!

The S-850 jumped off the cliff, leaving the Lancelot and the Black Knights alone.
