Knight of Nine
The incident in Lake Kawaguchi ended with the hostages returned, Kusakabe and his subordinates dead, and Zero introducing his group called the Black Knights. As soon as the hostages were brought to safety, Cornelia quickly ordered her troops to capture Zero and the Black Knights. However, Zero quickly got himself and the Black Knights away and they were able to escape to the point where they were out of sight and Cornelia was frustrated that she was not able to get Zero again. Cornelia decided that she would capture Zero next time and concentrated finishing things up in Kawaguchi and went to check on her younger sister Euphie. Sayoko snuck back in and waved towards Nunnally and the other girls.
"Sayoko, you're okay!" Nunnally said as she rushed toward the maid.
Milly, Shirley, and Alice were relieved as well and Nina wasn't sure how to feel but she turned to see Euphie talking to Cornelia and blushed and then went over to Sayoko who was talking to Nunnally and Milly. Meanwhile, Cornelia was hugging Euphie happily.
"Thank goodness you're okay," Cornelia said feeling glad.
"Yes," Euphie said with a smile.
"If I had known something like this would happen, I…"
"Please don't blame yourself," Euphie assured, "there's no way you could have known."
Euphie looked over trying to see if she could see Nunnally but she didn't see her sister anywhere and wondered where she was. Meanwhile, Nunnally and Sayoko were elsewhere with no prying eyes and discussing things.
"It was all a success," Nunnally said.
"Yes indeed," Sayoko replied and then had her concerns, "Lady Nunnally, about Princess Euphemia…"
"I know Sayoko," Nunnally said with concern.
"Do you and Master Lelouch have a plan?"
"I don't and I'm not sure about my brother. He did talk to her as Zero so I need to know just…what did he say to her? I hope he didn't say too much."
"I understand," Sayoko said with a nod.
"Anyway, let's get back to the others," Nunnally suggested, "We need to come up with a good story for them."
"Yes," Sayoko said with a smile and nod.
A Britannian Flagship
In the Knightmare Hanger of the flagship, Nonette was looking at a Knightmare Frame that was all bluish purple.
"To think His Majesty would entrust this Knightmare to me," Nonette said, "I'll be able to have it modified by the Camelot team thanks to the consent of Prince Schneizel."
Nonette left the Knightmare Hanger and walked through the hall.
"I'll be seeing you soon Nelly," Nonette said, "I'm sure you'll be surprised…and annoyed at the same time."
Nonette had a mischievous grin as she kept walking.
Zero's Mobile Base
The Black Knights had just returned and they all gathered in the trailer and Zero was standing in the center. Rai and Naoto had brought out glass cups and Zero brought bottles of beverages. Everyone took their glass cups and poured drinks of their choice.
"A celebration," Zero said holding his own glass cup, "for the success of the operation in Lake Kawaguchi and the debut of the Black Knights," Zero raised his glass cup in the air, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" The others in the trailer said happily as they raised their glass cups in the air.
"You should all be proud of yourselves," Zero said, "this would not be possible without each and every one of you. This is our success and our beginning as the Black Knights."
"Hell yeah!" Tamaki said happily.
"To Zero," Naoto said with excitement, "for his leadership, leading us to succeed!"
"I can drink to that," Ohgi said happily.
"So can I," Keitaro said.
"To Zero," Jinta said happily.
"To Zero!" The others said in unison.
The celebration went underway for the Black Knights and Zero looked over to Rai and Rai smiled and nodded. Zero looked on seeing the newly christened Black Knights celebrate. Behind the mask, Lelouch smiled.
"These are the people that I lead," Lelouch said in his head, "my founding members," Zero looked at the groups of people that now made up the founding group members of the Black Knights, "Naoto and his group, the Yamato Alliance, and then the group of myself, Nunnally, Rai, and Sayoko."
"It really is amazing," Rai said as he came by and stood next to Zero.
"Yes, it really is," Zero said.
"Um Zero?" Kallen spoke.
Zero looked over and saw Kallen walking towards him.
"Oh Kallen," Zero said.
Kallen stood next to Zero and Rai smiled and decided to take his leave.
"This is just the beginning as you said," Kallen said.
"Indeed," Zero said.
"Um about Nunnally and Sayoko…will they…?"
"No, they won't be joining us unfortunately. They need to stay with Milly and the others just so they wouldn't worry."
"I see…I suppose that makes sense."
"Don't worry, we can celebrate with them when we get back to Ashford on a later time," Zero looked at Kallen, "how about it Kallen? You, me, Rai, Nunnally, and Sayoko."
"Yeah sure," Kallen said with a nod and smile, "that'll be fine."
"Good, I'm glad to hear that."
"So Zero, will you be…?" Kallen put her hand on Zero's mask.
"Not yet but I will soon, I promise. With the work that we'll be doing, it may be hard to get them to believe and I have in mind when and where I will reveal myself to the others."
"I see…so what's the next plan of action for the Black Knights?"
"In due time Kallen but for now, let's not worry about it. Go ahead and celebrate, you've earned it just like the others."
Kallen smiled, "Okay but that goes for you too. Make sure you come join us."
Lelouch smiled behind the mask, "I will."
"Okay then," Kallen said satisfied.
Kallen went back to her brother and they talked happily and Lelouch looked on as he reminded himself that he would not let them down since they placed their trust in him.
"I will not betray their trust and confidence," Lelouch said to himself.
The next morning, Area 11 Government Bureau
Euphie was in her room getting dressed. There was meeting later that she needed to attend with Cornelia. Euphie couldn't stop thinking about her meeting with Zero last night in Lake Kawaguchi.
Flashback: Last night, Lake Kawaguchi Hotel
"Tell me Zero," Euphie said, "Who are you really?"
"You really want to know?" Zero replied.
"I do so please tell me, what are you really trying to do?"
"Hmm…well, since you seem desperate to know, I'll actually tell you."
"Zero…" Euphie spoke a bit surprised.
"Who am I? What I'm trying to accomplish? I am someone who fights for justice."
"Justice?" Euphie asked.
"Yes, justice against those who would torment, bully, and kill those who can't defend themselves just because they feel they can. It was how I responded against Clovis and Kusakabe just now."
Flashback End
"There is no doubt," Euphie said.
Euphie also remembered the way Zero piloted the black Knightmare, Lionel when he went up against Cornelia in Saitama.
"It's was the same style as Marianne," Euphie said, "and with Nunnally around…"
Euphie thought about when she saw Nunnally for the first time in eight years.
"It's him," Euphie said, "I need a bit more to prove it but I'm certain that Zero is none other than…Lelouch."
Soon, Euphie left her room after being fully dressed and headed for the room where the meeting would take place.
Flashback: Two days ago
In Euphie's office, she was sitting and Jeremiah sat across from her.
"So, what can you tell me?" Euphie asked.
"Unfortunately, Reuben Ashford was less than willing to tell me what I needed to know about Prince Lelouch and Princess Nunnally," Jeremiah said.
"Should have known," Euphie said sadly.
"But now I'm sure that they must be attending his school and if not then at least, they are close by."
"I see…I really want to see them…so much," Euphie said trying to keep herself together and then looked at Jeremiah, "thank you Jeremiah."
"I apologize that I was not able to help much," Jeremiah said sadly.
Euphie shook her head, "No, you did what I ask and not less and not more and for that, I thank you."
Flashback End
Euphie had decided on something and nodded as she continued to head for the meeting room. As Euphie kept going, she caught the sight of Cornelia with Guilford and Darlton and Cornelia looked displeased and she shook her head. Euphie sighed as she made her way to the meeting room door and opened it and entered the meeting room.
"The Knight of Nine is coming here?" Darlton asked.
Euphie was surprised with what she had just heard and looked on seeing the surprised looks on Guilford and Darlton and Cornelia frowning.
"That's what the emperor told me earlier when he contacted me from Pendragon," Cornelia said and she saw Euphie, "oh Euphie, good morning."
"Good morning," Euphie replied back, "what is it I'm hearing about the Knight of Nine? Is Nonette really coming here in Area 11?"
"Yes, you heard right Euphie," Cornelia said as she went to her younger sister and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"What's going on?" Euphie asked.
Cornelia released her hand from Euphie's shoulder and sighed.
"His Majesty…" Cornelia paused a bit, "is less than happy with how I'm handling things here in Area 11," Cornelia said, "he learned about my defeat in Saitama by Zero along with the lost of almost all of my Royal Guard and he questioned my decision regarding the incident with Lake Kawaguchi."
"Your decision for Lake Kawaguchi?" Euphie asked.
"He questioned me on why I allowed Zero to get away from us when we pursued them after dealing with Japan Liberation Front and…" Cornelia stopped herself and looked at Euphie, "actually Euphie, you don't need to worry about the details about that."
"I already know," Euphie said, "he wondered why you didn't just mow down the JLF even with the hostages there as well, correct?"
Cornelia flinched and Guilford and Darlton frowned as they nodded.
"Did you tell him your reason?" Euphie asked, "Or the fact that I was among the hostages?"
"No…but I suspect that he figured it out because he…" Cornelia clenched her teeth and shook her head.
"I see…" Euphie said deducing what their father told Cornelia, "Father is just that kind of person."
Cornelia looked at Euphie sadly and then on the floor.
"So when will Lady Nonette Enneagram be arriving?" Darlton asked.
Cornelia sighed heavily, "In an hour."
This surprised Guilford, Darlton, and Euphie when they heard her say it.
"An hour Your Highness?" Guilford asked.
"Yes, it seems that my father had already had ordered her to come to Area 11 even before the incident with Lake Kawaguchi and Nonette will be here very soon before even informing me. It seems that there's something else that the emperor wants Nonette to confirm here and it has to do with Zero."
"Zero?" Euphie asked.
"Yes," Cornelia said with a nod.
"About Lelouch?" Euphie asked in her head and was worried, "Could it be…?"
"What is it that the emperor wants the Knight of Nine to confirm about Zero?" Darlton asked with a raised eyebrow.
Cornelia frowned and glanced to the side, "He wouldn't tell me and he had ordered Nonette not to say anything to me in that regard as well."
"Not say anything?" Guilford asked.
Cornelia frowned and crossed her arms and Euphie thought about what was at stake and figured if she was going to confirm things that she needed to do so quickly.
An hour later
In the sky over Area 11, a Britannian flagship was flying and was towards the government bureau. In the bridge, Nonette was standing as people were operating in the bridge. Nonette looked on and thought about what the emperor had ordered her to do while she was in Area 11.
Flashback: Throne Room, Pendragon Imperial Palace
You're sending me to Area 11?" Nonette asked surprised.
"That is correct," Charles answered, "it seems that Cornelia was defeated by this masked man called Zero."
"Yes, I saw the footage that was provided to us," Nonette recalled, "although I wonder, who sent us the footage?"
"It does not matter, what does matter is that it is shown that Cornelia has disgracefully failed. Anyway, you saw the way Zero piloted that Knightmare as he faced Cornelia, correct?"
"Yes and I was surprised, in fact it actually reminded me of—" Nonette stopped herself and was realized something and looked at the emperor surprised, "Your Majesty…"
Charles smiled, "I can tell you have a good guess in where I'm going with this."
"You want me to investigate and confirm about this Zero character and to see if there's a connection to Zero and with Lady Marianne and/or her children."
"Exactly," Charles said, "Clovis was quite sure that Lelouch and Nunnally were still alive. It was one of the reason he wanted the post of being Viceroy of Area 11."
"Lulu and Nunna…" Nonette said in her head.
"Another thing Nonette and this is something you need keep to yourself and you are to only speak of this to either me or Bismarck," Charles said, "you are also to keep an eye on Euphemia."
"Princess Euphemia?" Nonette asked surprised.
"Yes, I also want you to monitor her behavior and report back to me."
"Monitor the behavior of Princess Euphemia?" Nonette asked raising an eyebrow, "I must say that is a surprise."
"It would be best to cover all the bases, you and I both know Cornelia would do anything to protect Euphemia which may lead her to cloud her judgment of what needs to be done."
"I see but is there a reason why Princess Euphemia needs to be monitored?"
Charles just looked at his Knight of Nine and then he closed his eyes, "Well…"
Flashback End
It was hard for Nonette in what the emperor was telling her about Euphemia but she figured that if the 98th Emperor of Britannia said so, that it was her obligation as a Knight of the Round to fulfill her duty.
"Lady Enneagram, we shall begin landing," One of flagship's operators said.
"Very good," Nonette said with a nod.
The Airport
The Britannian flagship was descending on the landing pad where Cornelia, Euphie, and their entourage stood waiting. Moments later, the doors opened and Nonette Enneagram, the Knight of Nine came out and grinned when she saw Cornelia.
"Nelly!" Nonette called happily as she waved.
Cornelia sighed as she walked over to Nonette with Euphie, Guilford, and Darlton walking right behind her. They approached her and Nonette nodded.
"It's good to see you again Nonette," Cornelia greeted respectfully, "welcome to Area 11."
"It's great to see you as well Nelly and thanks for the welcome," Nonette said happily and then she saw Euphie, "hello Euphie, it's been a while."
"It's good to see you again Lady Enneagram," Euphie said with respect.
"Now now, no need for that," Nonette assured waving it off, "just Nonette. I told you that before."
"Right, sure Nonette," Euphie said with a smile.
Nonette looked over to Guilford and Darlton, "Darlton and Guilford."
"Lady Enneagram," Darlton said with a nod.
"It's a pleasure to have one of the Knights of the Round join us," Guilford said.
"Yes," Nonette said and looked over to Cornelia, "well Nelly, as I'm sure you're aware that I will be here to lend my assistance to you while performing my task for His Majesty."
"Yes, His Majesty did inform me…after he had already had you dispatched to come here," Cornelia said with a frown.
"Yeah, that's true," Nonette said with a shrug, "it can't be help after all," Nonette walked up to Cornelia with a serious expression, "you suffered quite a lost in Saitama by this Zero character which resulting you losing most of your Royal Guard and also including the fact that a resistance cell were able to escape from you and joined this masked Zero and even as I made my way here, it didn't help with what had happened when Zero slipped through your fingers again in Lake Kawaguchi."
Cornelia flinched and frowned as she looked away.
"It doesn't look good when you Nelly who suppose to be known as the Goddess of Victory gets outwitted by a mere terrorist and loses most of her Royal Guard as a result," Nonette continued, "not one but two times you've been outwitted by this Zero guy. Is Zero really that clever…or are you just getting sloppy?"
"That's not it at all!" Cornelia said getting defensive but then calmed down.
"Lady Enneagram, if I may," Guilford spoke.
"I know what you're going to say Guilford so I'm going to stop you right there," Nonette interjected.
Guilford and Darlton were surprised and Nonette just looked at Cornelia's two close subordinates.
"It doesn't change the fact that this Zero character, whoever he is, got the best of Cornelia," Nonette continued and then looked at Cornelia, "you understand, don't you Cornelia?"
Cornelia frowned and looked away angrily, "I get it. You don't need to say any further."
Nonette just looked at Cornelia and Euphie also looked at Cornelia with concern and she was concern about what would happen since Nonette was going to be involved in the pursuit of Zero.
"Well, if you understand, then I don't need to say anymore," Nonette said, "now then, there is one other thing."
"Oh right," Cornelia said looking at the Knight of Nine, "you need to see the ASEEC also known as the Camelot team."
"Correct," Nonette said with a nod, "I brought the Knightmare that His Majesty entrusted me and I'll be requiring the skills of Lloyd Asplund."
"Right, of course," Cornelia said deadpanned.
Nonette placed her arms on Cornelia's shoulder, "I take you still don't care much for that guy."
"No, I don't," Cornelia honestly admitted, "it doesn't help that he didn't choose a more…qualified pilot of that Knightmare Lancelot he created.
Euphie flinched and clenched her fists because she knew that her sister was referring to Suzaku.
"You mean the fact that the pilot for Asplund's creation is an Eleven. What's his name again?" Nonette thought a bit, "Suzaku…Kururugi?"
"Hmph," Cornelia responded crossing her arms.
Euphie just looked on and sighed sadly.
Underground Base
Lelouch, Nunnally, Sayoko, and Rai were looking over a map they placed on a table and they were marking spots. They had just finished and they all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, this should do," Lelouch said, "we'll strike at these locations."
"So are we done?" Nunnally said.
Lelouch nodded, "Yeah, we're done for now. The operations that Black Knights will perform will start tonight."
"Right," Nunnally, Rai, and Sayoko said.
"I'll contact Naoto and Keitaro after class," Lelouch said, "Rai, you and I will inform Kallen."
"Right," Rai said with a nod.
Ashford Academy
In the Student Council Room, Nina continued her work on the computer but she found that she really couldn't give all her concentration on it. She couldn't stop thinking about what had happened last night at Lake Kawaguchi from when she along with Britannians was taken hostage by the group within the Japan Liberation. It was a terrifying experience for Nina and she was still shaken from the experience and she shook her head trying to stop thinking about it. Nina also thought about the Third Princess who stood up and Nina stopped and felt relaxed as she blushed and felt very grateful. Nina then thought about Sayoko when she stood up and stopped one of the JLF members from taking her and how stood up against them defending her and the others.
"I know that Sayoko serves Nunnally and Lelouch as their maid and she was Milly's maid before," Nina commented, "but still, I didn't think that she would stand against her fellow Elevens. Why did she do what she did? Was it for the sake of Nunnally and Milly? Was she told to do it? An Eleven helping me…I just can't believe that she did that."
Nina closed her eyes and thought about Euphemia again and she smiled thinking about the pink haired princess and she blushed and then she suddenly felt an urge and she flinched. Nina looked around to see if anyone was around and she saw that no one was around, she went and picked up a magazine and turned to a page that had the article of Euphemia and she looked at her picture and blushed.
ASEEC Knightmare Hanger
The Lancelot was getting checked on by Lloyd, Cecile and their team and Suzaku was assisting was assisting by do some tests for the Lancelot. Suzaku thought about the events that happened last night. He was extremely happy that Nunnally and the members of the Student Council were safe and sound but he was also not pleased with Zero and what he had done and what he had announced to the world. Suzaku reminded of himself what he had promised himself and that was to stop Zero and bring him in. Footsteps were suddenly being heard and Suzaku looked over and was surprised to see Cornelia along with her entourage coming in.
"Lloyd Asplund," Cornelia called.
"Oh Princess Cornelia," Lloyd greeted, "how nice of you to come pay us a visit."
"So he's the one," Nonette said.
Lloyd saw Nonette and was amazed, "Well well, one of the Knights of the Round who are known as the strongest knights of the empire, the Knight of Nine herself, Nonette Enneagram. It's a pleasure."
"Hmm, a pleasure indeed," Nonette replied.
"I was informed that you would be coming."
"Excellent, then may I assume that you were told about the Knightmare Frame that I brought with me?"
"Indeed, our patron informed me as well."
"Excellent, than I can show you," Nonette said.
Nonette and Lloyd along with Cornelia were discussing things and Euphie took the opportunity to go and talk to Suzaku.
"Suzaku," Euphie spoke waving at him.
"Princess Euphemia," Suzaku replied, "hello, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine," Euphie said with a smile, "thanks for asking. I heard that what you did last night at Lake Kawaguchi. I wanted to give my thanks for what you did."
"Yeah," Suzaku said and then he had a downcast look, "I'm sorry."
"Oh, why are you apologizing?" Euphie asked concerned.
"You were among the hostages and well…when the building was demolished…"
Euphie knew what Suzaku was getting at and she shook her head.
"You don't need to apologize," Euphie assured, "the JLF were the ones and besides, it all worked out in the end," Euphie paused a bit when she thought about Zero and the things he told her, "I admit that I was quite surprised that it would be Zero and I suppose his Black Knights, would aid us."
Suzaku flinched and frowned when he heard Zero.
"Zero…" Suzaku said and then he looked at Euphie, "Princess Euphemia, may I ask you a question?"
"Hmm? Yes, what is it?"
"Well—"
"Sub Viceroy," Cornelia called out.
Euphie and Suzaku looked over seeing Cornelia with Nonette waving her hand and Lloyd who had a grin.
"Oh, looks like it's time for me to go," Euphie looked over to Suzaku, "sorry Suzaku, we'll catch up another time."
"Oh, don't worry," Suzaku assured, "please don't worry about it Your Highness."
Euphie left and joined up with Cornelia and they spoke a bit and then Cornelia gave Suzaku a glare and it made Suzaku nervous.
Base of the Japan Liberation Front
The members of the Japan Liberation Front were meeting and they were discussing about what had happened at Lake Kawaguchi and the death of Kusakabe and his men. They were also talking Zero and his intervention and the debut of Zero's group known as Black Knights."
"What are we going to do about this?" An upset JLF member asked.
"Surely, we're not going to let Zero be for causing Kusakabe's death," Another JLF member asked.
"He said that they paid for it with their lives," Another JLF member said, "it's obvious that Zero killed him or at least, one of his Black Knights did."
"Intentionally helping those Britannians. The Black Knights…are they really referring themselves as knights of justice?"
"Sounds like a bunch of arrogant, self-centered nonsense to me. Who the hell does Zero think he is anyway?"
"But let's not forget, Kusakabe was in the wrong when he and the others did what they did at Lake Kawaguchi," Another JLF member said.
"That's right," Another JLF member commented, "General Katase gave no authorization to Kusakabe to do what he did."
"The Britannians were never going to give in to their demands anyway. They would have made it like those people were brave martyrs who stood up against the 'terrorists'," Another JLF member pointed.
"M-Maybe so, but still…"
"General Katase," One of the JLF member said, "don't have anything to say about this sir?"
Katase just sat with his arms crossed and his eyes closed and Todoh along with the Four Holy Swords looked at Katase and were also curious in what he had to say and Todoh was also thinking the things that Zero said in the live news feed after saving the hostages.
"Zero, just who are you really?" Todoh asked in his head.
Zero's Mobile Base
Naoto was sitting on the couch and was on his phone.
"I understand," Naoto said, "all right, so we're start tonight…yes, I'll make sure preparations are complete. Understood, we'll see you tonight Lelouch."
Naoto hung up the phone and he sighed. He stood up and headed out to inform the others.
Knightmare Hanger within Britannian Flagship
Lloyd and Cecile were looking at the purple Knightmare Frame.
"So this is the one," Cecile said.
"Correct," Lloyd said happily, "I'm looking forward to get to work on it."
Area 11 Government Bureau
Euphie was outside the bureau and was talking to the woman who was her bodyguard. What Euphie didn't know was she was being seen by Nonette who was keeping an eye of her.
"Euphie, what are you up to?" Nonette asked quietly.
Euphie suddenly turned around and she didn't see anyone there.
"Is something wrong Princess Euphemia?" The female bodyguard asked.
"No, it's nothing…I think," Euphie replied.
"Hmm?"
Euphie faced the woman, "Anyway, I want you to look in something for me."
"Yes?"
"Follow me," Euphie said as she walked past her.
The female bodyguard followed Euphie and Nonette poked her head out seeing Euphie and the woman with her going somewhere.
"What are you really up Euphie?" Nonette asked.
Later on, Nonette was in a room and had made contact with Bismarck in Pendragon.
"I see you made in Area 11 with no problem," Bismarck said.
"Yes, everything has gone well so far," Nonette said.
"Excellent, so then, what can you tell me so far?"
"Right," Nonette said with a nod.
Ashford Academy
Suzaku had just arrived on campus and was heading for the Student Council Room. The campus was still buzzing over the events of last night with Lake Kawaguchi and the fact that Milly and the other girls of the Student Council were among the hostages. Suzaku walked in the hall and he saw posters with pictures of Zero. Suzaku stopped and looked at Zero's picture and he glared at them. Suzaku sighed and continued on his way to the Student Council Room. Meanwhile in Lelouch and Nunnally's residence, Nunnally was in her room looking over the black clothing she had on her bed. Nunnally nodded and picked up the black clothing.
"So that's the outfit, you're going for," CC said.
Nunnally looked over and saw CC standing by her door.
"CC," Nunnally said and then she nodded and looked back at the clothing, "yes, this is it."
"You and Lelouch will start tonight, correct?" CC asked.
"Yes," Nunnally replied and threw a bag at CC, "so will you."
"Huh?" CC spoke and looked in the contents of the bag, "A Black Knight uniform. I see...you and Lelouch want my assistance."
"You were a great help to us in Saitama," Nunnally said with a smile.
CC just looked at Nunnally and shrugged, "I suppose Lelouch desires it as well."
"Yes my brother does."
CC shrugged her shoulders again," So be it. I do I have a contract with him."
"However you want to see it CC," Nunnally commented.
Later on at night, an abandoned warehouse
Several Britannian men in business suits were meeting with each other and two of them held suitcases. One of them opened the suitcase and showed the money. One of them nodded satisfied and opened the suitcase and it was full of bags with white powder in them. From the roof, Rai looked over and narrowed his eyes.
"Disgusting drug dealers," Rai said with hatred towards them.
Rai went over to the side and signaled someone on the other side. On the other side, Zero was seeing Rai's signal and he nodded. Zero turned over to his Black Knights.
"We move in," Zero said.
The Black Knights nodded and started to move. Zero and the Black Knights headed straight towards the abandoned warehouse and Rai also made his move to join Zero and the others. They busted the door down and pointed their guns at the men in suits. One of them demanded to know what was going on and who they were. When they looked closely, they were shocked to see that it was Zero and the Black Knights.
"There's nowhere for you to run," Zero said.
One of men made a run for it to the other side but a wall was suddenly broken down and the red Glasgow made its appearance with Kallen piloting it. Another wall was broken and it was the Knightmare Frame, Lucan that made its appearance with Nunnally inside the cockpit of her Knightmare Frame. One group of the Black Knights that were consist of Keitaro and members of the Yamato Alliance took one side and pointed their guns at the men in suits while Naoto and his group took the other side. The men in suits found that they were trapped and didn't have anywhere they could go.
"Like I said, there's nowhere for you to run," Zero said, "We are the Black Knights."
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The drug known as Refrain and the situation in Kallen's personal life.
