Bugeikan Old City Arena, entryway, August 16th 09:45 hours local time.
The Old City of Tokyo was a location that was not known to most Britannians and as such many Elevens fled here to evade the police. Contrary to public belief, the Tokyo Settlement had not been built when several districts were razed down for urban renewal. It instead had been built on top of the aforementioned districts like Shibuya and Roppongi. The entrances to the Old City were all concealed and sometimes resistance cells struck from here, fully aware that even if they were caught the Brits would not learn about the Old City. For this reason alone the Military often had to react to attacks that to them literally came from out of nowhere when in reality the attacks came from a location that they did not know that it even existed in the first place.
It was naturally strange then that Oiaguro Zevon arrived here through a tunnel that lead both to the Shinjuku Ghetto and one of the highways of the Britannian Settlement. He was accompanied by two members of Princess Cornelia's Royal Guard, Sir Jonathan and Sir Henderick, both of whom were also Knights of Honor that Cornelia had chosen when she turned sixteen years old. It was practically an open secret that Sir Gilbert G.P. Guilford, another of her Knights of Honor, and Cornelia herself were lovers since the nobility clearly saw them act intimately with each other in public on occasion. It was natural that Cornelia had Jonathan and Henderick assigned to Oiaguro Zevon in case he tried something funny since she distrusted him. So far, nothing was going on.
"This is unknown territory, Viceroy. The Eleven rats here are certain to be preparing an ambush by now." Jonathan said as he checked a corner and found nothing.
"This 'Zero' fellow said that he would meet with me in the Old City at the Bugeikan Arena and asked that only two people accompany me as he would have only two associates as well. Of course, he did say that other terrorists would try to make an attempt on my life." Oiaguro replied.
"I wouldn't trust Zero's words, but he is right about other terrorists trying something. There's an ambush near the old Shibuya subway entrance. I saw six hostiles on foot with thermal vision and sniper weapons. There's probably more where I can't see them either since they gave a warning shot when I tried to get close to them." Henderick then said as they rounded a corner. The rest of the fifteen minute walk to the arena was silent. Once at the entrance, Oiaguro hardened his heart as he saw Pink Flash and Zero stand in front of the entrance along with an orange-haired male who had green eyes.
"So Zero, what business do you have with me?" Oiaguro coldy asked.
"I would like to challenge you to a duel of swordsmanship. I will battle with you while Pink Flash and my newest ally OZ will battle with your knights." Zero answered while drawing a sword.
"Very well. Your challenge has been accepted!" Oiaguro said while drawing his own sword. "Knights, draw your swords! We fight to the death!"
"So be it!" Zero said as blades clashed. OZ proved to be a brilliant swordsman as he managed to knock down Sir Henderick and then finish him off with a fatal blow. Pink Flash managed to knock down Sir Jonathan but he got back up and managed to roll away before his sword was quickly knocked out of his hands and away from him before the female accomplice of Zero stabbed the knight through the heart. Zero and Oiaguro were both trying to circle around each other and neither one had the advantage so far. Before five minutes passed, Zero managed to deflect a stab from Oiaguro and knocked the Viceroy's sword away before knocking him down and using another fatal blow.
"Damn. Looks like I've lost." Oiaguro said before closing his eyes and smiling.
Zero checked the former Viceroy's pulse and said, "We've won. Viceroy Oiaguro is dead."

Lelouch's room, Elite Guard secret base near Tokyo, 2018 a.t.b, 08:22 local time.
Lelouch woke up and saw that both he and Nunnally were completely naked. 'Lelouch, are you a freaking moron!? All you did was think with your genitals instead of your head! Do you really believe that you can reignite the Black Civil War now that you made love to and likely gotten your own sister pregnant!?' he mentally screamed at himself as the events of what happened last night came back to him.
The Elite Guard of the Black Knights had been able to ambush the Logres-class Floating Battleship that Nunnally was being trasported to Japan on while it was over the Pacific Ocean and while Lelouch's younger sister had been rescued from the Britannians, it had come at the cost of over half of their Gloucesters and one of the two Caerleon-Class airships that the Elite Guard had stolen from the Imperial Third Air Fleet when it began patrols near Area Eleven to dissuade another Chinese invasion attempt from occurring. Alice was present during the battle that ensued and did try to stop Lelouch from getting away with his sister in tow, but she vowed that she would not be separated from her brother again and refused to let the Knight of Seven take her away. Alice tried anyway and was briefly able to seize Nunnally in the hands of the Lancelot Conquista, but before the Knight of Seven could get away from the Logres-Class while holding Lelouch's younger sister in one of its hands Oldrin Zevon intervened and destroyed the Lancelot Conquista's Float System backpack and forced the Eighth-Gerenation Knightmare Frame back onto the sinking battleship. She then destroyed the Lancelot Conquista's weapon systems and forced Alice to eject when she would not let go of Lelouch's sister. Six hours before the ambush even began, Lelouch had managed to get into contact with Nunnally discreetly and was able to persuade her that Zero would take her to where Lelouch was while conveniently omitting the fact that he himself was Zero.
