Description
Port Yokosuka, 8:00 p.m. Alistair, General Kusakabe and other JLF soldiers were hiding in a safe area away from the ship, waiting for the Britannian forces to attack.

General Katase: So... You're sure that something's going to happen?
Alistair: Yeah. Something big, that's gonna engulf the whole ship.
General Katase: That... That actually sounds haunting.

Immediately, Sutherlands appeared and opened fire on the JLF soldiers on the ship, then the submariner Knightmares, called Portmans, climbed onto the ship.

Meanwhile, Zero was in his Burai, alongside other Knightmare pilots, inside a small carrier ship.

Ohgi: (over radio) Zero! The Britannians are closing in on the JLF! We have to move in!
Zero: We... We can't.
Ohgi: Huh?! Why not?!
Zero: There's...nothing we can do. I'm sorry. I've failed you.
Tamaki: (over radio) Zero? What the hell's goin' on?

Cornelia was surveying the operation, and was hearing a one-side success, on the soldiers' ends.

Cornelia: (sighs)
Guilford: You're feeling guilty, aren't you?
Cornelia: Yeah. It's the price to pay, to even get close to Hawking. I promised Euphy that we'd go back to America, make it return to normal.
Soldier: (over radio) Viceroy! We've captured the ship! There were very few remnants on deck.
Cornelia: Good work. Deal with the rest.
Soldier: Wait a minute...

Simultaneously, Cornelia and Zero listened to the soldier on the other side of the radio.

Soldier: There's no one on board!
Zero and Cornelia: (in unison) What?!

Immediately, the ship began exploding in a flash of pink light, with enough force to match a nuclear explosion. Zero couldn't believe the fact that the Japan Liberation Front managed to escape the explosion.

Zero: Oh, my God! (crying) Oh, thank God!
Ohgi: Zero! Did you know this would happen?!
Zero: I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you. There was a bomb underneath the ship. I couldn't defuse it.
Tamaki: So, you didn't tell us, to make sure no one barges in, when the Sakuradite went nuclear.
Kallen: (over radio) It's like you said. There are some things that can't be controlled.
Zero: (normal tone) The Tokyo Mavericks must have intervened. General Katase is safe. Now, we're gonna distract these immoral asswipes!
Ohgi: Zero?
Zero: Remember America! Make them pay, for what they did to those 50,000 people!
Tamaki: Out of the frying pan, into the shit!
Kallen: (enraged) Let's go!

Meanwhile, Cornelia, Guilford and Darlton couldn't believe the devastation that their forces had just experienced.

Cornelia: This is the exact reason why nuclear weapons were exterminated, in America.
Guilford: You wouldn't mind if I find a safe way to dispose of all Sakuradite, in my spare time, would you?
Cornelia: I wouldn't mind, at all.
Darlton: There was no one on board the ship?
Cornelia: We can lie about that, later.
Darlton: Sounds about right.

General Katase and the remaining JLF soldiers put on the outfits that Alistair gave them, and began to exit the harbor, as stealthily as possible.

General Katase: Thank you, Alistair. It was great to meet an American of your caliber.
Alistair: If you wish to join the Mavericks, find a recruiter, and tell him your ranks.
General Katase: Understood, Major. Will do. I hope to give Chase my regards.
Alistair: Good to hear.

Meanwhile, two Sutherland pilots noticed something that looked like a ship moving through the smoke.

Soldier: Oh, son of a-!

The Black Knights' ship destroyed the Sutherlands and landed onto the harbor.

Zero: Wreck some ass! Split up and take them out!
Black Knights: Right!

Alistair saw the Black Knights appear, and converge on the Britannian units, and understood what they were doing, immediately.

Alistair: You figured everything out, huh? Alright. (pulls out cell phone) Time for me to play. (opens cell phone, dials commands) S-850...Yokosuka... That should do it.

Zero's Burai and the Guren Mk. II were dashing through the Britannian forces, when Primeblood Knightmares ambushed them. Zero's Burai fired its cannon at the Arbiter in front of it, while the Guren grabbed the Ravager with its Radiant Wave Surger, and destroyed it.

Kallen: Primebloods! Dammit!
Zero: (Burai takes battleax) I'm taking this.
Kallen: Yes! That's being more versatile!
Zero: Let's split up, for now. If you find an SMG, use it. Use it 'til it's dry. You only have that heavy-duty gun on the left arm.
Kallen: Right, then. Good luck. We need you.

Meanwhile, the S-850 arrived at Alistair's location, and Alistair began piloting his personal Knightmare.

Alistair: Alright. Got a scabbard for my sword, all geared up. I think it's about time to-.

Before he could finish his sentence, Cornelia's Gloucester spotted the S-850.

Cornelia: You!
Alistair: (S-850 looks at Gloucester) That was quick, even for you, Blood Knight.
Cornelia: Let's settle this!
Alistair: What, you made a rivalry with me, or something?
Cornelia: You're damn right! I'm at 100%, now!
Alistair: Oh, yeah. I don't know if that changes anything, or not.
Cornelia: Go down!

Cornelia's Gloucester charged at the S-850, with its lance, and the S-850 grabbed the lance under its arm and sharply dropped to the ground, causing the Gloucester to fall over.

Cornelia: Did you just DDT my lance?!
Alistair: Yep! Boxing isn't the only thing I've learned.
Cornelia: Oh, really? What have you learned then, dick?
Alistair: I've mastered boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, Jeet Kune Do and Chun Kuk Do.
Cornelia: You dare disgrace Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris?!
Alistair: You know them? How?
Cornelia: Die!

Cornelia's Gloucester charged at the S-850, again, but the S-850 landed a dropkick on the Gloucester.

Cornelia: (thinking) Dammit! I can't let him beat me! He can't beat me!

As soon as Cornelia's Gloucester got up, Cornelia saw the S-850 spinning in the air, similar to how Suzaku Kururugi moves.

Cornelia: (deadpan) Oh, yes, he can.

The S-850 landed the Kururugi Spin Kick, which Alistair learned from Suzaku, and Cornelia's Gloucester was launched into some shipping crates. Guilford and Darlton's Gloucesters arrived to find the S-850.

Darlton: (thinking) Did he just spin kick her?
Guilford: We surrender!
Alistair: Not here to fight you, dude.
Guilford: Thank God. (to Cornelia) Princess Cornelia! Are you okay!?
Cornelia: (out loud, slurred tone) Did anyone get the number of that Sutherland?
Alistair: 850!
Cornelia: Thank you.
Darlton: (out loud) Are you alright?
Cornelia: Eat a dick!
Darlton: She's fine.
Guilford: Well, the Primebloods showed up.
Alistair: Let's split up and take 'em out, then.
Darlton: I agree.
Guilford: You go where we came from, we'll take the Viceroy and get her to safety.
Alistair: Sounds good.

Meanwhile, Zero was reducing the Britannian forces in his path to nothing with the battleax that he acquired, when he encountered the Lancelot.

Zero: You, again!?
Suzaku: Zero, your methods won't change anything! You play with people's lives! You're a murderer! (Lancelot swings MVS at Burai)
Zero: (Burai blocks with battleax) Me? Murder? Yeah, right! Killing these assholes that can't be redeemed happens to be justified killings! You're working with an anarchic empire that wants to take over the world!
Suzaku: Without order, there is no meaning!
Zero: And if the order persecutes every person on the planet!?
Suzaku: You spill blood without meaning! It's your fault that all this happened!
Zero: You slaughtered his people! (pushes Lancelot away)

As the Lancelot was pushed back, Suzaku was shocked at what Zero said.

Suzaku: (thinking) What does that mean? Slaughtered whose people?

Immediately, the S-850 arrived on the scene, and stood next to Zero's Burai.

Alistair: The Fallen White Knight.
Zero: Maverick. You have the full support of the Black Knights.
Alistair: Good to hear. I can take this guy. I beat him with boxing moves.
Zero: I think I'll take those assholes.

Zero's Burai pointed to the Primeblood Knightmares that stood to the northeast of the Lancelot.

Alistair: Good luck.

Zero's Burai charged at the Primeblood Knightmares, moving past the Lancelot.

Suzaku: Zero! (Lancelot aims VARIS rifle at Burai)
Alistair: (S-850 grabs VARIS) Hey, man.

The Lancelot immediately struck at the S-850, as the S-850 knocked the VARIS aside. The S-850 and Lancelot dueled with each other mercilessly, fluidly, and with great finesse in their fields of hand-to-hand combat. However, the S-850 gained the upper hand, every time. The S-850 leaped into the air, above the Lancelot, and its cockpit opened revealing the barrel of a Hecate II aimed right at he Lancelot. Alistair fired the anti-materiel rifle, and the Lancelot's Blaze Luminous blocked the bullet, but damaged the generator. The S-850 landed and the cockpit closed.

Alistair: How's that pulse round treatin' ya? Not very friendly with robots or power armor, let alone energy shields. Sword fight time!

Immediately, the Guren Mk. II dashed in, and stood in front of the S-850.

Kallen: Sorry, but I'd rather have payback on this chump.
Alistair: Oh, you fought him, first? Well, I disabled one of his energy shields, for you. I'm gonna help Zero out, if that's fine by you.
Kallen: You're damn right, it is.

The S-850 leaped into the air, again, and charged at the Primeblood Knightmares that Zero was engaged with. As the S-850 was approaching, Alistair saw that Zero's Burai was treating the Primebloods like they were nothing, reducing Knightmares to scrap with its battleax, and the remains showed that some of them were vertically split in half.

Alistair: Where'd you learn how to fight like this?
Zero: (over radio) I have no idea! But, I'm loving it!
Alistair: Let me give you a hand with the guy that's behind you.

The S-850 grabbed the sheathed sword on its left hip, and in the instance of drawing it, cut an Arbiter in half, horizontally.

Alistair: Iaido, son! Bet you didn't learn about that, you anarchic ass-hats! (notices number of Knightmares) Damn! You're cleaning house!
Zero: These warlocks have got nothing on me. I love this ax, though. Two-handed melee weapons must be my specialty, too.
Alistair: Why do you think the unit you took it from is called an Arbiter? Judge, jury and executioner.
Zero: Not the lawful kind.
Alistair: I'm loving the snark from you.
Zero: (Burai destroys last Ravager) Well, that got my heart pumping. So, Katase escaped?
Alistair: Yep.
Zero: I think he'd be better off with you, since you've got a military feel to you.
Alistair: Thanks, pal. You better go. Reinforcements might show up.
Zero: Can do.

Zero's Burai left the S-850 and started to head for the exit, when Zero received a strange transmission on his radio.

Female Voice: (over radio) You're not even broken, yet? What does it take?
Zero: Who the hell are you?
Female Voice: You'll find out...when you're dead.

Immediately, Zero's Burai is hit by multiple rockets and Zero was forced to eject. Zero's cockpit did not land as safely as he had planned, and suffered some damage, on impact.

Female Voice: The Black Knights are through. I win...Lelouch. (laughs)

Lelouch crawled out of the cockpit, his body hurting and consciousness fading. He looked up and saw Shirley, pointing a gun at him.

Lelouch: Well, at least I'll die...after doing something right...(passes out)
