Description
Ashford Academy, 7:00 p.m. Alistair laid down in his bed, bored from the lack of action.

Alistair: Tomorrow's another day. I've got all the time in the world. (falls asleep)

Meanwhile, at the Black Knights' newly acquired G-1 mobile base, Zero entered the control room, where alerts were going off.

Zero: What's going on?!
Ohgi: We don't know-! (looks at screen) Oh, my God.
Zero: What the hell is that thing?
C.C.: There's more than one, over there.

At Tokyo, two overly titanic battleships were moving across the ground, destroying buildings, and launching Renegade and Primeblood Knightmares. At Ashford, Alistair felt the ground shaking, and woke up, clearly upset.

Alistair: (sighs) I'm gonna need coffee, for this one.

Back with the Black Knights, Zero looked at the footage of the battleships, destroying Tokyo.

Zero: How is this even possible?!
Ohgi: We've got some info! The Renegade ship is called the "Yaso Magatsuhi", and the Primeblood one is "Ars Goetia". So, we've got an embodiment of disaster...
Zero: And the gates of Hell. Goetian demons, I'll bet, are Knightmares.
Ohgi: You'd be right. New models, from the Primebloods are destroying everything!
Zero: We're going. Now! (walks towards exit) I'm heading there, first-

Before Zero could exit the control room, Kaguya entered the control room, bumping into Zero.

Zero: Aren't you...? Kaguya Sumeragi?
Kaguya: I'm glad that I made it! You were about to head out without seeing me, weren't you?
Zero: I didn't even know you were here. How did you-?
Kaguya: I've been a fan of yours, ever since your debut! I finally have the chance to talk to you... Wow, you're tall!
Ohgi: Why are you here?
Kaguya: I'm here to watch my future husband fight!
Zero: You're joking, right?
Kaguya: Once this battle's over, you'll need a wife, right?
Zero: You do realize that I'm older than you, right? And, what makes you think I get off on making people suffer?
Kaguya: Uh... Well...
Zero: Stick to your age group. Okay? We're friends. I'd rather not discomfort you, by doing something completely regretful.
Kaguya: ...Sad thing is, you're not wrong. Thanks for the words of wisdom.
Zero: Stick here, just to be safe, Kaguya. And... The moment when you see Alistair on a daily basis...give him every ounce of attention that you can give. Also, hugs. (exits room)

At the former Britannian government building, Cornelia saw the titanic ships destroying the city.

Cornelia: This isn't good. Euphy! We need to get outta here!
Euphemia: Are you sure?!
Cornelia: I'm getting you to safety! You're a target, in all this! Guilford and Darlton are about to head out, so we need to leave, while we can!
Euphemia: I'm not ditching Alistair!
Cornelia: We're not! You're not too proficient with Knightmare piloting-
Euphemia: Say no more. Let's go.

Aboard the Yaso Magatsuhi, Nanbu sat in his chair, in the control room of the ship, watching his forces destroy he formerly lived at.

Nanbu: This'll stir things up. Once all this shit's been cleaned up, I can build this utopia, in my image. (chuckles) I'll also have to take care of that school, Ashford Academy. (cell phone rings) Huh? (opens cell phone) Yeah? (pauses) Oh, hey! Never thought you'd call! (pauses) Speak of the devil, I was just about to- You got that covered? Alright. Ain't gonna pry. Have fun with it. Yeah, bye. (closes phone) Ain't that just peculiar?

Meanwhile, 1,400 miles away from the ships, James' Knightpolice was headed straight for the police station, to settle things with Kaplan.

Ichika: (over radio) Are you sure about this?
James: I have to do this. Otherwise, we'll be cornered.
Eriko: (over radio) Alright. Just be careful. Who knows what could happen?
James: Kaplan shouldn't be too hard... Oh.

James' Knightpolice stopped right in front of a strange Gloucester that sported a light purple paint job, and was holding a shield that also served as a scabbard for its sword.

Ramsey: Hey, buddy.
James: Ramsey.
Ramsey: You know, I never really liked you. You always got in my way, you did what was right, and you stuck your nose where it didn't belong. You made me sick.
James: And, you're an asshole who betrayed the police of this city.
Ramsey: I was never on your side, to begin with. I was with the Primebloods, since day one.
James: What do you want, out of all this?
Ramsey: Nothing. I was bored. And, you're ruining my fun.
James: You killed innocent people...out of boredom?
Ramsey: Pretty much, yeah.
James: I won't let you go.
Ramsey: We do have a score to settle. This Gloucester is one of 5 others that were made, of this design. (Gloucester draws sword) Now... Die!

At Ashford Academy, the student council watched the destruction from the council room.

Rivalz: What kind of monsters could bring themselves to do this?
Shirley: The same kind of monsters that Alistair had seen.
Milly: Too true. Wait a minute, where's Nina?
Shirley: Oh, shit! Where is she?!

The previous day, Ashford Academy Ganymede hangar. Nina listened to the radio, hearing word that Euphemia was alive.

Nina: Thank goodness! I have to tell everyone!

When Nina ran up the stairs, she tripped and fell onto the back of her head, knocking herself unconscious.

Present day, Ashford Academy student council room. Tamaki entered the room, holing a submachine gun.

Tamaki: You guys alright?! This place safe!?
Rivalz: Whoa! What are you doing here?!
Tamaki: Trying to make sure everyone's safe, in this place! Do you see the evil Titanic rip-offs, outside!?
Shirley: Oh, Alistair's not gonna be happy, about that.
Zero: (enters room with Kallen) You're telling me.
Kallen: (thinking) Shit. Why must they learn, now?
Zero: We're establishing a defensive point, here. That is to say...we're going to protect you. The Tokyo Mavericks have evacuated a majority of the citizens, and right now, escape for all the students and faculty is impossible. Therefor, we're going to keep you safe, until the fight is done. (thinking) Nunnally... I won't let you suffer, anymore.
Milly: You sure about this?
Kallen: (takes off visor) We're positive.
Shirley: Kallen?! Nice outfit. Lucky...
Kallen: Uh... Thanks.

Immediately, Alistair entered the room.

Alistair: Alright, what the hell's going on!? (notices Black Knights) Oh, hey guys.
Zero: Hey. So, this is gonna take a while to explain, as there are two Titanic rip-offs destroying the city, right now.
Alistair: (pauses) ...Milly! Where is my coffee!?

Meanwhile, Cornelia drove the car she acquired through the ruined parts of Tokyo, Euphemia in the seat next to her.

Cornelia: This is bad. We're screwed, at this rate!
Euphemia: These odds are bad enough, with those ships!
Cornelia: Knightmares are everywhere... (stops car, gets out) Euphy... Take the car and get out of the city.
Euphemia: Cornelia! What are you doing!?
Cornelia: If I'm going to do something, I'm going to fight. Get in the seat, and get driving. (opens cell phone, types in coordinates) I believe in you, sis.
Euphemia: Cornelia...
Cornelia: This isn't goodbye, Euphy-
Euphemia: No... I don't know how to drive. I've been driven literally everywhere, since I was born.
Cornelia: Oh. Well, perfect time to learn, huh?
Euphemia: (sits in driver seat) You come back to me. No matter what. Got it?
Corenlia: (Gloucester arrives) Understood, sis. (enters Gloucester)
Euphemia: So... Is...this the clutch-? (car speeds off) Yep! We're driving!

Meanwhile, at the lab underneath the former Britannian government building, the glass of the vat that Bartley had received broke and someone that appeared to be a cyborg landed in front of Bartley an the scientists.

Bartley: No! Not now!
Jeremiah: So... (looks up) Who wants to have their ass kicked, first?
