Scenes start in the castle of Emperor Lelouch.
The Hearts of The Kingdom are seen conversing, wondering how to reclaim the Knight of Nine.
Ansem is seen standing over the other members, all of whom are sitting down, waiting eagerly for him to speak.
"Finally." Ansem says. "Now, can we get down to business?"
Sora looks at Ansem with boredom apparent on his face.
"How long will this take, Ansem?" Sora asks.
"Relax." Ansem says. "You and Kairi can do God-knows-what for all I care. AFTER the conference."
Sora pouts, crossing his arms in irritation.
"Now, here's the lowdown." Ansem explains. "Our Knight of Nine is still AWOL, and his lover is a former Black Knight who may still be in contact with their armed forces. His Majesty has insrtucted us to check for any abnormal activity during the weapon shipments scheduled to leave from the Euro Universe. Ever since he took reign, the Black Knights have become even more aggressive, targeting anything of importance or anything linked to His Majesty's hegemony. Not only that, but if the lover, who's name I discovered is Roxas, gets into contact with the Black Knights, he may release some highly confidential information regarding the Geass Experiments that were performed by Namine. Roxas Also, one important factor. The Knight of Nine was seen traveling with Roxas. I think they are in league together. If Roxas establishes contact with the Knights, Axel may defect to their side. Our orders are to capture either or both of them..............Dead or alive. Questions?"
"So, we can kill them, right?" Riku asks.
"Yes, Riku." Ansem answers in bored monotone. "You can kill them."
"Now the first units to deploy willl be Sora and Kairi." Ansem says.
"The supplier that will be meeting us is delivering some prototype Bamides Knightmares that will be arriving near the Britannia-M.E.F. border. His Majesty plans to personally use these Knightmares for an unknown project, so it is imperitive that we protect the cargo at all costs. I have no doubts that the Black Knights will attempt to hinder us."
Kairi raises her hand and speaks.
"But why are we in fear of two enemies? We've battled Knightmare armies before. Besides, we can use-"
"They can use Geass like us." Ansem replies.
"Really?" Riku says. "Then I can only assume that Roxas survived the experiment, not just Axel. They must have extraordinary willpower."
"Exactly." A girl behind Riku says. "We have to secure those two before they become a threat to His Majesty. Putting up with rogue Geass users on top of having to deal with the Black Knights would be pretty annoying."
Everybody turns around to look at the girl.
She is a thin, slender girl with black hair and a white bandana adorning her head.
She is seen laying back ona red chair while fondling a bladed kunai.
"We already know that, Yuffie." Ansem says. "But, it IS our job."
"So, what to do first?" Kairi says.
"Now, Sora and Kairi should be gearing up while the rest of us do what we have to." Ansem yells. "Move out!"
Scenes switch to the Black Knights.
Kallen and Roxas are gearing up to head to the Brit-MEF border.
Roxas looks at Kallen and starts talking.
"So, what exactly are we supposed to hamper?" Roxassks.
Kallen gets into her Knightmare and starts taking start-up procedures.
"Well, the Middle Eastern Federation is trading with Britannia. They have these new prototype Knightmares that, according to our undercover agent, are to be given to Britannia so that Lelouch can experiment with them personally."
"Is he building a super-weapon?" Roxas asks, also boarding and taking start-up procediures.
"I don't know." Kallen says. "Maybe."
Roxas straps himself in.
"But, if he already controls the Damocles, why would he build a doomsday device?" Roxas asks.
"Well...." Kallen says. "Lelouch is the type to analyze every single detail, as well as build up plans on the spot. He also.............."
Kallen recalls the time he was willing to sacrifice Ohgi Kamane to further his battle against Suzaku, before Suzaku became a knight.
"..............isn't above using his soldiers as pawns. I wouldn't be surprised if Lelouch's Britannian soldeiers are being controlled by Geass..........."
Roxas just stands silently.
"Is Geass really such an evil thing?" He asks himself. "Just what have me and Axel gotten into?"
"But, I still sense a good heart in Lelouch." Kallen says, straping herself in as well. "He must be fighting for a good cause if he's willing to stoop so low. But, I've been wrong before..........."
"Kallen and Roxas begins the launching sequence as a hatch opens up for them.
"Guren, launch!"
"Key of Destiny, Launch!"
The two Knightmares launch out of the flagship and eventually, after 10 minutes of falling, land on the ground.
They are approximately two miles from the Borders, in old abandoned ruins that have been abandoned for years.
"Well, let's get moving. Shall we?" Kallen says.
The two move ever closer to the Border, unaware of the presensce of the Hearts of the Kingdom.
After about one mile, they are intercepted by Britannian forces.
"Master Ansem was right, fire at will!"
Knightmares appear out of hidden sides of the ruins' debris and begin to fire.
"Damn!" Roxas says, rasing an energy shield and moving to support Kallen.
Kallen begins to enter into battle disabling the Knightmares using her Radiation force.
One by one, the soldiers fall, unable to withstand the Guren's might.
Roxas just watches on in awe as he realizes just how much spirit Kallen has in her heart.
She is that devoted to destroying Britannia.
"Sorry about hogging the spotlight." Kallen says, smiling in her pilot's seat.
"I keep forgetting that I'm serving with the Black Bishop himself." Kallen says. "I'm sure that you could've killed them off just as easy."
The two resume their trip to the borders, killing off more soldiers as they progress.
They eventually reach a high ledge overlooking the trading point.
They then see the trader and Sora, who is Britannia's trading representative.
"So, they're working properly?" Sora asks.
"But of course." The trader says.
"Fine." Sora says, hadning the trader a bag of money.
"If you ever want to trade again, don;t hesitate to call me." The Trader says.
"Right." Sora says as the trader turns to leave.
However, Sora pulls out a laser.
Just as the trader prepares to leave, Sora fires the laser at the trader's head, killing him instantly.
Kallen and Roxas watch the spectacle unfold.
"Did he just-?!" Roxas asks.
"Yeah. A lot has happened since you were away." Kallen says. "When Lelouch became Emperor, he also gained control over the Hearts of the Kingdom, which were his ftaher's personal guard. They never used to be this ruthless......Lelouch must've abolished any 'holding back' on the Hearts' behalf."
"Or, they could be controlled by Geass." Roxas says.
That's when A beam fals in between Roxas and Kallen's Knightmares.
A pink Knightmare with Cyberbnertic floral decorations is seen as the one who fired.
In the pilot's seat is Kairi, the Knight of Four.
"Looks like we've got some bugs, Sora." She says througha headpice.
"What do we do with bugs, Kairi?" Sora asks as he enters his Knightmare.
"Crush them!" Kairi says, swooping down to do battle with the Knights.
Roxa and Kallen move out of the way as Kairi lands onto the ground, her Knightmare brandishing a spear that was hidden in a sheath compartment.
"Heh, heh, heh." Kairi says. "Fresh meat, huh?" Kairi says. "Ooh, the Guren. I've heard about your piloting skills, Kouzuki. Skills equal to that of a Heart of Rounds, I hear. Let's put it to the test, shall we?"
Kairi lunges at the Gurn.
Roxas goes to aid her, but is intercepted by another Knightmare.
"Sorry, boy." Sora says from within the Knightmare. "You've got me to play with!"
Sora summons a sword from his Knightmare that looks similar to Roxas's Knightmare's weapon.
"Aw, I thought the "Key as a blade thing was my own idea." Sora pouts. "Looks like sombody beat me to it."
"Such a whiner, aren't you?" Roxas asks, taking out his weapon as well.
"Hmph." Sora says. "You really don't know just how deep in shit you really are, do you kid?" Sora says. "You're fighting Knight of Two now. But, are you figthting just one of me?"
Sora's Knightmare then splits into seperate copies that surround copies.
"What the Fu-?!" Roxas asks.
"Let me answer your question." Sora says. "This is my Geass, The Multiple. I can make as many copies of me as I want. Makes housecleaning go by SO fast....."
The copies then begin to attack Roxas one after another.
He blocks five attacks, only to take three in the back.
"Damn!" Roxas thinks. "He has me cornered on all sides. I can't get rid of him unless I know which one is the real enemy."
Kallen and Kairi are also getting into real combat.
Kallen uses her Radiation force to pin Kairi down, only to be forced back by an unknown force with twice the pressure she applied to the enemy.'
"Damn!" Kallen says. "So, you've got radiation abilities too?"
"Not quite, Redhead." Kairi says. "I can use Geass just like His Majesty. My special ability is The Protection. It can deflect enemy attacks with a magic shield and send the attacks back with twice the power it used. All I have to do is apply a little willpower."
"BOOM! Now i've got her!" Kallen thinks. "Will has it's limits. If I can get her to use up her strength, she won't e aqble to use her Geass anymore!"
