"Sir, our scouts have reported that Marrybell's Dreadnought has disappeared into the warpgate!" One of Xaldin's soldiers informed from his communication channel.
Outside of the Castle, Xaldin's Knightmare is revealed to be a customized, black akatsuki. Unlike the similar, mass-produced, the Akatsuki had a teutonic head installed and its tungsten armor is covered in a ebony-steel plating with a black cape mounted on its back along with a flight system. On its left hand, his Knightmare has an wrist-mounted arbalest armed with Flaming-enhanced energy missiles. On the left side of its waist, the Akatsuki is armed with a one-hand warhammer forged in red-hardened steel, which is accessible to the Knightmare's right hand. On the Akatsuki's right shoulder pad, Xaldin has a short, mounted ballista armed with EMP bolts that can fire as fast as lighting from its huge barrel. After Geo and Rakshata were able to construct the Akatsuki Knightmare for Xaldin, he personally named it "Vanherald."
As of now, the Vanherald is being accompanied by Rayearth Alpha and the other two Rune God knightmares. The moment, he heard his soldiers make a immediate report about the current situation, Xaldin replied back and relay the message to the Magic Knights.
"Copy that!" Xaldin respond before turning towards the Magic Knights behind him. "Ladies, there's been a change of plans. The Britannians had immediately fled the country."
"Are we still going to go after them?" Umi asked Xaldin, whom her voice spoke from inside Selece Omega.
"No! We are to meet up with Commander Zero at the Tokyo Settlement." Xaldin replied in denial.
"I was hoping you'd say that, Mr. Xaldin. It's been too long since we saw our homeland." Fuu said, feeling confident of returning home.
"Even so, we will still expect heavy resistance from the Britannian Forces!" Xaldin added in. "For now we stay on guard until the rest of our fleet is ready to depart into Area 11."
"Understood." Hikaru acknowledged immediately.
Meanwhile back in Area 11, Marrybell's Dreadnought arrived at the Tokyo Settlement at 10:00am, without Princess Marrybell directing the ship's crew. In this case, Oldrin will have no choice but to assume command of the ship until they can return to rescue the Britannian Princess. In her horror, it's bad enough that Euphemia got captured first. But for Marrybell, Oldrin couldn't help that her desire for vengeance would become her undoing; not to mention that Marrybell's overconfidence and aggression would allow the enemy to take advantage of her instead of the other way around. No matter, Oldrin did remind herself that once they take care of the Black Knights entering the Tokyo Settlement, they will try again to enter Cephiro and rescue both of the Britannian Princesses. For now, her mission is to escort Prince Schniezel and the two Knights of the Round to the Bureau.
"Big Brother, are you there?" Nunnally's voice spoke from the intercom of the Dreadnought's command bridge.
"I'm here, Nunnally. We'll be arriving at the Bureau in less than a few hours." Schneizel replied calmly.
"Please hurry brother. I've been informed that the Black Knights and Zero will be on their way at nightfall."
"Okay. Just try to hang in there sister."
"Helmsman, prepare to dock at the Bureau!" Oldrin ordered.
"Yes, milady!" The Helmsman acknowledged.
While sitting on his throne and watching the view from the bridge, Prince Schneizel held up his favorite wine as Bismarck and Bradley appeared from behind him.
As they both walked up next to the 2nd Prince, Bismarck looked up ahead to see the Bureau in a long distance away from their encroaching position.
"They already finished repairing both of our Knightmares, your highness." Bradley said, informing the 2nd Prince of Britannia.
"So your highness, what do you think we should do if Hikaru and her friends show up again?" Bismarck asked Prince Schneizel, who is feeling nonchalant while drinking his wine.
"I'll drop you and your Knightmares at the Bureau. You both are to help Suzaku and Gino hold their ground at the rendezvous until I return from my reconnaissance mission." Prince Schneizel told Bradley and Bismarck. "I'll be meeting up with my advisor before helping him investigate Zero's background."
"I can't wait to have that little lady's head on a platter once I'm done with her." Bradley snarled as he remembered how he got a shock therapy from Hikaru's Rune God.
"Fret not, Bradley. We'll get her someday if not sooner." Bismarck said, trying to sympathize with the Knight of Ten.
"If we don't take her down, our reputation as Knights of the Round will be jeopardized and I'll be a laughing stock for the rest of my life!" Bradley hissed, feeling frustrated that he isn't able to take her out that easily. "I mean, she still just a lowly Eleven for god's sake and her heroic reputation in the New World is not going to change anything!"
After seeing Bradley stormed off into her private quarters fuming, Bismarck couldn't stop cackling to himself after hearing how humiliated his friend was just now.
"I still want to deal with her first. If she were to be the strongest Magic Knight in her group like what the Cephirians say, then I will be the judge of that. After all, I'm just getting started." Bismarck muttered to himself as he turned towards the Bureau up ahead.
Before opening the gateway to the Tokyo Settlement, the Magic Knights and Xaldin get recalled by the crewmen of the NSX. Shortly, they landed softly onto the top hull of the Autozamian Battleship as they proceeded into the hangar and stood by for further instructions. While the ship slowly proceeded, the Dome of Fahren and the Bravada followed from behind.
For the Magic Knights, they can hope that once they reclaim the Tokyo Settlement, all of their families will be able to return to their homeland safe and sound. However, since Britannia has powerful forces fortifying the defenses at the Bureau residing in Area 11, their war with them will intensify very often than before. Other than that, while Hikaru is still looking towards the clear blue sky on the horizon, she was wondering what will ever become of her old nemesis Princess Cornelia after her last battle with the former Viceroy. Earlier while still locked up in Temple Tower back at Pendragon, she still remembered hearing the rumors while the Fire Knight was still incarcerated like it was yesterday.
Flashback:
Back in Pendragon's Temple Tower, one month earlier before escaping, Hikaru was sitting at a table nearby the entrance inside the Prison mess hall, she spotted several Britannian Knightmare pilots speaking amongst themselves while having lunch. They were all wearing blue, britannian pilot suits while having lunch amongst themselves. Since she was expected to stay silent while being held prisoner, Hikaru used this as an advantage to eavesdrop on the Britannian jailers a few tables away from where she was sitting.
"Hey Luxus! Did you hear about what happened to Viceroy Cornelia?" The first pilot spoke, not paying attention to Hikaru staring at them in silence. Taking a good look at the first pilot, Hikaru noticed that he had red-brown hair.
"Well Vafun, I did hear that she gave up her Viceroy title before she fled Area 11." Luxus, who had black hair, replied while drinking some orange soda. "I don't really know why did she do that?"
"Maybe after those wretched Magic Knight lunatics crippled her, I bet Princess Cornelia felt so traumatized that she didn't want to have any part of leading Britannia's forces anymore." The third guard guessed, who is seen with a maroon pony-tail. "I probably should've helped her out too after our garrison at Mt Fuji fell. I mean, we're all there before the Elevens and their allies overwhelmed most of our comrades."
"It's a shame that General Darlton was nowhere to be found when Euphy ordered us to kill the Elevens."Luxus added in. "I almost got a little too carried away when I shot down those Elevens at the Stadium's entrance while piloting my Gloucester."
"We're just grateful that Lord Guilford ordered us to evacuate Mt. Fuji in the nick of time. If he hadn't, we'd all be either dead or captured too." Vafun said, feeling shaken after carrying out Euphy's genocide.
"I just wanted to pound those Eleven Knights at the Bureau while I still had the chance." Luxus thought.
"Now that you mentioned it, since they're all imprisoned here in Temple Tower, why don't we have some fun with them, shall we?!" Vafun smirked, as he glared towards where Hikaru is sitting at, much to her horror.
End of Flashback.
After remembering a bit what those Britannian pilots said, Hikaru is wondering what is Cornelia up to despite her defeat. Nevertheless, Hikaru may need to find a way to make amends with Conrelia since Prince Schneizel is onto her. Hopefully, they might try to work something well out in the end just like when she and Eagle made amends before meeting up with Clef on determining the fate of Cephiro.
Unfortunately, after all the beating that Hikaru took from those Britannian pilots, she feared that she may not get the chance because their forces will still remain at large even on to this day. In fact, with the Black Knights on their side, chance of accepting peace with Britannia thanks to Prince Schneizel may be only just an empty prediction. For Zero, she knew that he had no intention of surrendering to Prince Schneizel whether or not he is one step ahead of the Black Knight commander. However, if Schneizel can prove that Zero is the real villain here and not Britannia, then Hikaru may have to convince herself and Clef to reconsider their allegiance elsewhere, costing their alliance with the Black Knights.
Who knows? Maybe other Black Knights would also reconsider their loyalties as well if they found out about Zero's true colors. They did say that Hikaru is known for making such reckless decisions without thinking twice, but the Flame Knight still wants to do the right thing regardless of the opposing viewpoints of her friends. As for Suzaku, she still couldn't think straight on how to reason with him over anything else other than war and violence. There won't be any going back if Hikaru has what it takes to defeat him. Also, she still has make up to everything that happened between her and Princess Euphemia.
What's worse, if the Black Knights learned that Euphy is still alive because of Hikaru and the Magic Knights, they may start questioning them of who side are they really on.
Feeling overwhelmed in her own thoughts, Hikaru left her Rune God in the hangar to catch her breath up onto the ship's balcony.
For a while, Hikaru leaned against the balcony's railings before Lantis appeared behind her out of concern.
"So, Hikaru did you miss being back at home?" The Magic Swordsman asked.
"I do, Lantis. I wish there is another way to resolve this conflict without further bloodshed. Every time I killed those Britannians, my guilt keeps escalating and pushing me away from my peaceful ordeals." Hikaru said, feeling horrified after everything that happened out onto the battlefield. "Even though they got what they deserved, I don't know how long can we continue like this."
"I don't know either, Hikaru. But this war is unlike anything we ever face back in Cephiro. There won't be any way to live other than taking other lives away."
"I was grateful you didn't die when Nova stabbed you in the gut. I can't help but wonder why? Because I thought for sure that she would kill you for my sake."
"I was only half-dead back then. Unlike Zagato, I had a stronger mental power flowing inside me. You see, my willpower is what kept me going despite facing certain death. When Nova brought me into her custody, I could still feel my heart beating even though I was unconscious during that time. I wouldn't even abandon you whether or not you did the right thing. I was hoping one day that woman who cared about me would always find happiness with me." Lantis continued. "Eventually, when I met you and was able to understand you better than anyone else, I got my wish."
"I wish I stayed with you after Cephiro has been restored when I abolished the Pillar system."
"It won't matter if we're both worlds apart, Hikaru. Since you helped me find happiness too, I don't regret anything either. That's I care about you." Lantis said as he held Hikaru next to his side. "We will always be together, no matter what."
"Thank you, Lantis." Hikaru smiled as she and the Magic Swordsman embraced each other in their arms.
"Also, I always be with you until the end of time."
"I'm still not sure what will ever become of our country now since we just captured two Britannian Princesses in our custody." Hikaru said, feeling a bit ashamed over what she did you Euphy.
"I don't blame you for what happened when you faced Princess Euphy and Princess Cornelia. It was already Clef's decision to make either way. Besides, the Viceroy already brought this of all upon herself."
"Well, maybe I shouldn't have let her go like that. I could've hold her prisoner too when I had the chance but I don't really want to be like her."
"I understand. Life can be full of hard decisions." Lantis said, proving Hikaru and himself a point. "How was Euphy doing back in Cephiro?"
"She and Darlton did manage to make an ordinary living in the Forest of Silence." Hikaru explained briefly. "Though, I'm still shaking that someone else might be watching us in order to find their lost Britannian Princess."
"Who do you think is watching us?" Lantis asked in bewilderment.
"Since they poisoned some of our men earlier, they may act as Britannia's spies." Hikaru added in. "We may have stopped Greenhelm and his traitorous bunch from delivering Cephiro to Britannia, but we still don't know how many more enemy spies will be lurking in the shadows out there. It's just like in this one movie that I have watched with my brothers when I was 11 years old, which was imported from the U.S. I think it was called 'Olympus has Fallen' were a powerful group of terrorists attacked the White House while posing as political members and civilians; what's worse is that they attempted to unleash hell on earth after they kidnapped the U.S president."
"I see, but I doubt that the Black Knights would ever understand that Euphy is still out there. They were spouting rumors that you and your friends already killed her about a year ago after that incident in Mt. Fuji. It's already been like that ever since you and the Magic Knights disappeared along with the 3rd Britannian Princess."
"Rumors aside, if we ever retake the Tokyo Settlement, we do need to deal with Marrybel Mel Britannia as soon as possible. Maybe, we need try to pick her brain on who else is serving Britannia as a spy while posing as a Cephirian citizen or soldier." Hikaru suggested.
"That would be quite a challenge there Hikaru." Lantis said anxiously. "Well, I'll see what Clef and I can do. For now, we help you and the Black Knights carryout the mission in the Tokyo Settlement."
"Fair enough." Hikaru said as she was released from Lantis' embrace before turning towards the horizon.
After Lantis takes his leave, the magic swordsman went back into the ship before C.C makes her appearance at the balcony.
"So Hikaru, are you happy that you're going to be going back home?" The green-haired witch asked, making the magic knight shiver out of surprise.
"Not really. I still have yet to face my old adversaries back at Area 11 before we can reclaim our land. You know what I'm taking about right?!" Hikaru asked, before changing the subject. "Come to think of it, where we're you when we retook our Castle back in Cephiro?"
"I was escorting Commander Geo back to the NSX while he left the castle in a short while. Of course, it was not before I had to do in several Britannian soldiers that were chasing after him in the forest near his ship." C.C answered briefly. "Other than that, are you really going to take down Suzaku Kururugi for his lies and deceit?"
"He'll leave me with no choice. I hope I would be able to reason with him, when way I did with Eagle. But he disappointed me in the end." Hikaru said, feeling disgusted over Suzaku's nature.
"What about his girlfriend, Princess Euphemia? Are you going to still keep her away from him and her sister Cornelia or are you going to hand her over back to Britannia?" C.C asked, pressurizing the future in Hikaru's perspective.
"Maybe hand Euphy back for Cornelia's sake if we're both able to forgive each other." Hikaru said, in a anxious tone."I still remember like it was yesterday that Euphy refused to see each other fight over such vengeance and dominance."
Even though she already defeated Cornelia in battle last year, Hikaru may end up fighting Cornelia again before she even had a chance to make amends with the former Viceroy of Area 11. Though, she knew that her fear is just going to keep her from concentrating with the operation at hand.
"Well, it is your choice to make since you're the Knight Pillar of Cephiro. Though, you do need to come up with the right decision very soon because you won't have any time left for a second chance." C.C warned Hikaru before she disappeared into the NSX.
After seeing C.C leave the balcony, Hikaru turned towards the sunset to contemplate on he decisions in the future.
"I wonder if Britannia will ever come to their sense?" Hikaru thought.
Meanwhile, while on the way to face Suzaku up the stair, leading to the same altar were he met him and Hikaru, Lelouch felt nervous in facing one of his childhood friends again due to all the sins that he had caused as Zero. When desperate times call for desperate measures however, Lelouch is likely going to take an unnecessary risk in saving Nunnally from the last person he would want to trust. As for his Black Knights and the rest of their allies, they have begun their operation to retake the Tokyo Settlement. So far, about 42 nations yielded with the Black Knights before moving forward to put an end to Britannia's tyranny.
It may be the last thing Lelouch is going to do before the Britannians close in all around him. After losing his girlfriend Shirley, Lelouch isn't going to take anymore chances with the other people using Geass; this is also why he attacked the Geass Order in their facility weeks earlier. Also, he still wants to get rid of Rolo as well since he made his choice of killing everyone that is very close to Lelouch and Shirley was no exception. It's a good thing Rolo never met with the Magic Knights, if they did they may not be able to handle him because of his Time Freezing Geass. It'd be pretty scary that Rolo would try to kill or threaten to kill the Magic Knights up close and person before they would have a chance to react since his Geass freezes everyone around him for only about 10 seconds or so. Lelouch can only hope to kill Rolo before the Magic Knights arrive at the Tokyo Settlement.
Unbeknownst to Lelouch, upon hearing that two of the Knights of Round were all but crippled in their last battle in Cephiro and with one KIA, Prince Odysseus attempts to send his scouts to pinpoint the location of where will the Magic Knights and Cephirian Alliance will be striking next. As soon as that's done, the rest of the Knights of the Round will move in an take them all down with one swoop. For the Knight of Six, they sent Lady Anya's body to rest back in Pendragon and her Mordred disassembled only to have its parts infused with Gino's Tristram. In fact, Gino swore revenge against the Magic Knights for Anya's defeat in the Tokyo Settlement.
At the same time, the Black Knights made their move in pushing through Britannia's defenses at Area 11, escorted by the Chinese Federation mobile Fortresses and the Shen Yu. However, they still did their best to wait for the forces of the Cephirian Alliance to enter the Tokyo Settlement first. Their plan was to hold position near the shores of Area 11 until the Cephirians show up in Area 11 to keep Britannia's defenses at the Bureau busy. In the meantime, they can only wait while staying out of enemy firing range.
"I can only hope that Hikaru and the Cephirians will let me take a tour around the New World once this war is over." Xing Ke thought as he stood his guard while piloting the Shen Yu.
For Empress Tianzi, she stayed inside her private chambers while looking out from the windows of their mobile fortress. Ever since she met Hikaru in-person, the young empress was also thrilled to met one of the leaders of Cephiro's allies up front too; Lady Aska, the princess of Fahren. From the way Aska reacted, Tianzi couldn't imagine how excited and optimistic the Fahrenian Princess really was when she introduced herself; This was way before the Cephirian Alliance was recalled back to Cephiro to deal with the traitorous incursion inside their castle. Nevertheless, Aska promised to show Tianzi around in the Cephirian Castle and at Fahren later on, if she wishes.
Bearing with such a wish, Tianzi made her choice to accompany Xing Ke and the rest of the Chinese Federation during their voyage to the Tokyo Settlement and onto the New World. Hopefully, she will meet up with Lady Aska and the rest of her friends there after their mission.
Below the sea, the Black Knights Flying Fortress is navigating its way undetected by the enemy radar. As of now, Colonel Tohdou is leading the Black Knight's elite force with the aid of Tamaki, Nagisa, and Asahina. Apparently, their Knightmares are standing by at the submarine's launch bays hoping to aid the Cephirians retake the Tokyo Settlement. There is three things they intend to do once they reach the Bureau; capture the Viceroy, free Kallen Kouzki, and reclaim their fallen nation as part of the United States of Japan.
As Tohdou stood by at the Ship's main bridge before receiving another call from one of his operators.
"Colonel, we received a transmission from Cephiro's forces. They're preparing to initiate a teleport strike within the heart of the Tokyo Settlement."
Upon hearing the operator's report, Tohdou immediately went up to the intercom to respond to the transmission.
"Lady Hikaru! Lord Clef! Are you there? This is Colonel Tohdou speaking, please respond!"
"This is Master Mage Clef. We have jumped into hyperspace v.i.a Sakuradite Gateway. We'll be heading to our destination in ETA three hours. Is Commander Zero with you?!"
"I'm afraid not, sir! Zero took off again for a private meeting at who-knows-where!" Tohdou replied in dismay. "But he said that he'll be joining us at nightfall."
"Well, get your forces ready Colonel Tohdou. We all have a long night ahead of us!" Clef's voice spoke again.
"Understood, sir!"
After disengaging the intercom, Tohdou raises his hand up high giving out the order for the helmsman to proceed toward to the Tokyo Settlement.
"Full speed ahead, men. Prepare your Knightmares for battle!" Tohdou bellowed, while also giving out orders to his Black Knight formation.
"Look out, Britannia. Zero's best bud will be on the house tonight!" Tamaki cackled as he slammed his right fist into his left palm. At the same time, Tamaki left the bridge and proceeded to prep his Akatsuki for battle, along with three other Black Knight pilots.
"Say, does anyone know what happened to Ohgi?!" One of the Black Knights on Tamaki's right asked, feeling concerned over the deputy chief's life.
"Well, he just went out for a walk in the park; that's what he told me. I mean, even though he got injured on his own, I'm sure he wouldn't make that same mistake again when he was left alone with that Brit woman back there." Tamaki said, feeling confident about his long-time friend.
"But if anything happens to him again, we won't be there in time to save him. We're just pushing our luck." Another Black Knight spoke from Tamaki's left.
"Okay, then."
As soon as the three Black Knights entered the hangar, Tamaki embarks onto his Akatsuki and armed it with a giant cannon mounted on the Knightmare's back.
Meanwhile 5,000 feet above the clouds, the three ships from the New World have appeared as they all emerged from a blind flash up in the yellow, bright sky. With everyone inside their ships, they made their descent down below the clouds. Before long, the sky became dark as the NSX, the Dome of Fahren, and the Bravada of Chizeta entered Tokyo's atmosphere, 1,000 miles away from the Tokyo Settlement.
Inside the bridge of the NSX, Geo makes his announcement to the rest of the crew and his friends as he activated the speakers near his main computer.
"Attention everyone, we have arrived in Area 11. We're about 1,000 miles south of the Tokyo Settlement and are proceeding further with extreme caution. All hands, prepare for battlestations in ETA 1 hour tops!"
As Geo's announcement echoed throughout the NSX, the Magic Knights left their guest quarters and proceeded onto the ship's loading docks. There, they see that Lantis, Lafarga, Ascot, Clef, and Ferio are refueling and prepping their knightmares for another nighttime battle in Area 11.
Hikaru went up to the NSX's balcony through the doorway behind Lantis' Knightmare to see the nightsky engulfing all over her former homeland. Down below, Hikaru sees building lights illuminating the ground in a bright yellow. Up ahead in the distance, the Britannian Government Bureau is swarming with Britannian Knightmares hovering in the air thanks to their float systems. Feeling confident again, Hikaru is sure that she can succeed in retaking the Tokyo Settlement for good. For Umi and Fuu, they appeared right behind Hikaru on either side seeing the same thing that the Fire Knight is.
"Umi! Fuu! Are you both ready to do this?!" Hikaru asked as she turned towards the two Knight Elevens.
As the two Magic Knights nodded, all three female warriors don their armor and raised their swords up high before calling forth their Rune Gods once again.
"SELECE!"
"WINDAM!"
"RAYEARTH!"
In one moment later, a huge rift opened up 500 meters right above the NSX. Not one second too soon, the three Rune Gods made their appearance as they entered Area 11 while flying through the sky. As they dived down closer to the NSX, the Magic Knights jettsoned into the Rune Gods, gain control of their mecha from the inside. At the same time, Geo spots their signatures from the map screen on his computer and smirked with delight.
"It's time!" Geo grinned as he gave the order to one of his gunners.
Upon seeing Geo's gesture of command, the gunner fired one of the missile bays, shooting out three missiles one at a time. As the missiles got closer to the Rune Gods, they broke up its exterior layers, revealing the evolution orbs that Rakshata has developed back in Cephiro, one red, one blue, and one green flaming balls of sakuradite energy. Unlike last time, the orbs were encased in dark, tungsten plating with Blaze Luminous energy swirling around it. When the orbs got in close proximity with the Rune Gods, the orbs exploded harmlessly as they released multiple tendrils of energizing surges engulfing the Rune Gods. Before long, the Rune Gods have transformed into a darker-colored version of themselves.
Rayearth is now seen with another broadsword similar to the one that Hikaru usually has holstered next to his left hip, except that its engulfed in a magenta-like, flaming hue. His shield transformed into a thicker, tower shield that extended its talons 2 feet longer than last time. His knees are attached with black and red knee pads and his dark-red shoulder pads have covered up his rear and front shoulder blades.
"Behold, Rayearth X!"
After absorbing his evolution orb, Selece's dragon wings became energized with blue sakuradite mixed with swirls of Luminous energy, making them both light up more darker than the night sky. On the back of Selece, a huge blue lance appeared with a sling attached to it with the handle sticking out at the back of Selece's head. The lance is seen as a 5 meter long, spear-like polearm enhanced with a freezing aura that only activates when being used.
"You can call me Selece X"
As for Windam, his golden embroideries and yellow-green armor have both changed into a kombu green color that lit up the Rune God in a intense, flaming spring bud green aura. It's feathered wings have been equipped with sharp spear-like missiles protruding from the back across the Rune God's wing span.
"I am now WINDAM X"
As soon as the transformation of all three Rune Gods have ended, the Magic Knights gained more confidence in carrying out their mission to end the war with Britannia momentarily.
"It won't be long now, guys!" Hikaru announced. "Let's go help our allied ships clear the way, shall we?!"
"You bet!" Umi and Fuu both cheered in unison.
At the Britannian Government Bureau, the Lancelot Conquista is now seen with the Perceival, the two remaining Vincents piloted by the surviving Valkyrie warriors, the Tristram, and the Galahad. All of them hovering at the frontlines of the Bureau's defenses with most of their forces stationed at their makeshift fortifications, monitored by Oldrin while piloting Lancelot Grail.
Ever since losing contact with Marrybell Mel Britannia, the rest of the Knights of the Round had no choice but to aid Oldrin and the rest of the Glinda Knights until they rescue the Britannian Princess from Cephiro. However, Oldrin is starting suspect that Marrybell's desire for revenge is slowly becoming out of control. Earlier, Oldrin heard rumors that Marrybell is using another power to get her wish, but in such abusive intentions. If the rumors around Marrybell are true, they might try to think twice before rescuing Marrybell. Nevertheless, Oldrin still needs to concentrate with the mission at hand.
As of now, the Knights of the Round and the Glinda Knights are ordered by Prince Schnizel to protect the Government Bureau with their lives during the second battle of the Tokyo Settlement in the place of Princess Cornelia and her forces.
All of a sudden, the alarms started blaring for one minute before they all shut down in a heartbeat. Before long, Bismarck spots the Magic Knights and their armies advancing towards the Tokyo Settlement while on air.
"Here they come, men!" Bismarck bellowed from inside the Galahad as he drew out his two-handed MVS.
"Hikaru!" Suzaku hissed as he spot Rayearth X approaching his position from 1000 meters enclosing. "This is going to end now!"
