Ohgi: Where is Lelouch?!
The Black Knight's Knightmares were moving around, trying to get close enough to the enemy to shoot. But the enemy was stronger. It had only two Knightmares of huge proportions, newer models, nothing like the mass-produced Burais and Sutherlands. They were also faster and stronger than ordinary Knighmare frames.
Three Black Knights in their frames came from behind the enemy, shooting it at full power. But no damage was done. One of the enemies turned and shot a laser beam, destroying the three Knightmares. Their pilots ejected just in time.
Tamaki: It's no use! We cannot fight them!
Ohgi: Everybody, retreat! Fall back!
Jeremiah: What is going on?! In the name of Viceroy Euphemia li Britannia, I command you to surrender!
He was in his office. Next to him was Euphie herself. The interlocutor's face was displayed on the screen. It was a young man, with a confident look and a defying smile.
Kightmare pilot: We come here in the name of the Emperor himself. We do not mean to offend you, nor Princess Euphemia, but your orders mean nothing to us.
Jeremiah: Your name, please!
Kightmare pilot: My name is Gino Weinberg, Knight of Three. My friend, over there, in the Mordred Knightmare, is Anya Alstreim, the Knight of Six. We have special orders concerning this area. You should not interfere, unless you really want to get into trouble. We will finalize our mission and we will leave as soon as we're done.
Jeremiah: What is you mission?
Gino: I am neither allowed, nor willing to tell you that. Now leave us alone, we're busy!
The transmission ended. Jeremiah was so astonished he could not believe his own ears. Euphie was a little scared.
Euphie: What is the meaning of this? They attacked the Black Knight's headquarters! What shall we do now?
Jeremiah: There is nothing to be done. Their orders come from the Emperor himself.
Euphie: Will we get into trouble?
Jeremiah: Most likely. They probably suspect us and are now taking measures against our plans. This might as well be the end of our plan.
Euphie: But, but...
Jeremiah: Argh! I wish there was something we could do!
He was angry already.
Euphie: By the way, where's the girl... you know... that girl with the...
Jeremiah: She should have been here by now, but she's not. I wonder if they got her too...
Lelouch: All forces, retreat to Narita. The old headquarters have been lost. Retreat to Narita and join the ex-JLF forces there.
The transmission came from Lelouch's house, reaching all the Black Knights of Tokyo at once. Ohgi was still at the headquarters at that moment.
Ohgi: Lelouch, where were you?
Lelouch: I had to conceive a plan. Where's Kallen?
Ohgi: I thought she was at your place!
Lelouch: She's not. Where is she?
Kallen: I'm ok.
She had just joined their network.
Kallen: I went to the hideout and took the Guren MK-2 Knightmare we got from Kyoto. I'm on my way to the Pacific.
Ohgi: What? But why?
Kallen: I... I cannot explain. But I know they will follow me, so I'll keep them away from Japan.
Lelouch: Kallen, are you alone on board?
Kallen: I...
Lelouch: I know that girl is with you. The plan is stupid. Go to Narita and take the girl with you.
Kallen: But how... how do you know?
Lelouch: I know everything! Follow the orders now! Understood?! There will be grave consequences for all of us if you don't. You are now doing the wrong thing! Go to Narita now! Go as fast as you can! Ohgi and the others will cover for you.
Kallen: I... yes, understood!
