Edge of Shinjuku Ghetto, ASSEC Mobile Trailer
Ren slowly groans as he wakes up. Bright light blinds him as he comes back to the world of the living. He tries to sit up until he feels a blistering pain in his side. He lets out a cry and lays back down. This alerts the two people in his room that he is awake. A smart-looking man and a professional-looking young woman. The woman rushes to his side and says, "Lloyd, come look at this. He's okay." The now-named Lloyd strolls over and responds, "Cecille I have eyes. I can see that he is awake. Too bad, you passed the pearly gates. Maybe next time Private Ren. You know your life was saved by this." He holds out a small broken pocket watch. The picture inside shows a scratched-out picture of Ren's father. Lloyd saw Lie's reaction and asked, "Does this trinket hold some bad memories?" Ren turns away and growls out, "No, forget it."
Cecille looks at her superior with worry. Lloyd raises an eyebrow and says, "No matter, we are near Viceroy Black's transport. You are safe for the moment." Ren contemplates that for a second and asks, "What's the situation?" Lloyd looks at him for a few more seconds and says, "It appears the terrorists released the poison gas. There have been massive casualties among the eleven population." Ren growls in anger. Japan lost, it's over. These people need to stop fighting and learn to live as Eleven's. The two scientists look at the conflicted boy and share a silent conversation. They could already tell he carried a lot of animosity and hate. This path would only lead to his destruction. Lloyd was hesitant but he needed data for his creation so he approached Ren. "What kind of experience do you have piloting a Knightmare frame?" Ren looked confused and said, "None, I was born an Eleven and we have no chance of becoming knights." Lloyd had a small smile on his face as he asked, "What if you could pilot a Knightmare? Would you?"
Shinjuku Ghetto
Jaune was looking through his Knighmare's screen and he was horrified. The military was killing anything that moved. Women and Children weren't even spared from this massacre. Jaune's blood was boiling, he needed to do something. Suddenly, he saw a blur. It was a red Glasgow that held a giant scythe. It was weaving in between the Sutherlands and taking them out slowly. Suddenly, a Sutherland threw a Chaos mine and it blew the scythe to bits. The Glasgow was now defenseless and enemies were closing in. Jaune saw this and looked across a battlefield. There was a train coming and Jaune looked closer. It had bulletproof windows and reinforced steel. That was a military train and he could guess what they were transporting. He contacted the Glasgow and said, "Hey, you in the red Glasgow. If you want to win, do exactly as I say." Ruby was shocked, she didn't know who this voice was but she knew more Sutherland's were closing in. She really didn't have a choice.
Ruby groaned in frustration and said, "Alright what do I do?" Jaune grinned and said, "Use the train tracks to move toward the west entrance." Ruby does so and begins spreading toward the West. Two Sutherlands are behind her and closing. Jaune calls out, "Since you followed order's then you will win. Jump on that train." Ruby does so and speeds away. One Sutherland stops the train and another tries to go after her before Jaune fires his Slash Harken and destroys it in midair. The remaining Sutherland sees this and yells, "You! What's your identification number?" Jaune smirks and tosses a chaos mine at the unsuspecting pilot. It explodes and kills the remaining pilot. Jaune then jumps down and repositions himself. Ruby regroups with Coco's group. Ruby asks, "Did you hear that voice?" Coco nods and says, "Who is that?" Her radio buzzed and Jaune was heard asking, "Are you the one in charge?" Coco responds in the affirmative and Jaune continues, "I present to you the cargo of that stopped train, they are the tools for your victory. If you want to stick it to those Britannian bastards then follow me." Coco thought about their recent loss and the death of countless Japanese civilians. She grinned and said, "Alright, you heard the voice. Grab that gear and let's go. Time to show those Britannians why Japan is called the country of The Rising Sun!" There was a cheer and the resistance unit got to work.
Rubys Glasgow would act as a stalking horse. Her Glasgow would lead the enemy into traps. Jaune got ready and started calling out instructions. "P-5 lay down cover at point 35. N-12 fire your Slash Harken at 27 degrees East. T-1,4,8, and 9 fire through the wall in fifteen seconds." All around them were exploding Knightmares. Jaune was able to set this up like a chess game and the Viceroy's army was losing troops at every turn.

General Tinn was shocked. The screen was lit up with loss signals. Their army was losing Knightmare's left and right. He shouted to a staff officer, "They must be intercepting our codes! Change them now!" A staff officer said, "We have, sir. We've changed them four times already." Tinn yelled, "Then do it again! I will not lose to some filthy Elevens!" Marcus Black contemplated this. They were being ambushed left and right. The only other person who could do this was Ozpin. He couldn't be here though. The rumors stated that he was dead. Could it possibly be someone better than Ozpin? If it was, they were doomed.
Shinjuku Ghetto
Jaune continued his instructions, "Q-1, you are good at hand-to-hand combat. Ascend building 42 and wait. Allow R-1 to lead them to you." Yang grinned, she got to be the queen of their operation. She followed the voice's instructions and ascended the building. Two minutes later she saw her sister's Glasgow. It was leading a group of three Sutherlands straight to her position. As soon as Ruby was clear Yang jumped from the building. She tossed a chaos mine at the enemy Sutherlands and destroyed their rifles. Now, they had to fight her hand to hand.
The first Sutherland charged while yelling, "All hail Britannia!" Yang ducked under the punch and grabbed one of his legs. She spun him around until the leg gave out and the Sutherland went flying into a pile of rubble. The two enemy pilots were a bit nervous now. This was no ordinary pilot. She was almost as skilled as the Glasgow they had been chasing. The two pilots decided to get on either side of this terrorist and try to take her out in a pincer attack. They slowly approached but, Yang gave them no time to decide their move. She turned to one attacker and sent her Slash Harkens at her. Her ejection block failed and she died in a fiery explosion. The last Sutherland was terrified but she knew retreat wasn't an option. She threw a Chaos mine and watched. Yang saw this and dived behind the first Sutherland she threw. The shrapnel killed the pilot inside with a cacophony of screams before there was silence. Yang rushed forward and ripped the arms off the last Sutherland. She went low and executed a sweep kick. This knocked the Sutherland on its back. All the pilot could see was Yang's frame looking down on it. The pilot screamed, "You will eventually burn, you're a worthless Eleven! How dare you stand against our glorious Empress!" Yang looked down at the pilot and felt only righteous fury. These Britannians had killed her father and tortured her uncle. They would pay. Yang glared down at the screaming pilot and said, "Welcome to Japan." With that final word, she brought down her Knightmare's foot and crushed the ejection block. She glared at the dead pilot and said, "Good riddance." She closed her eyes for a second and then raced off to complete her next assignment. This battle was far from over and she had plenty of fight left in her.

General Tinn pounded a wall in anger, they were losing too many troops. Marcus had enough failure for one day. He stood up and said, "I am taking control of this operation. The solution is simple. If we surround them then we will be able to cut off all ways of escape and eliminate any pathetic ambush attempts." General Tinn looked uncertain and said, "Viceroy we no longer have the troops to complete such an operation. The only way to do that would be to break the encirclement." Marcus looked at General Tinn with anger "You think I don't know that. Are you questioning my orders? If we can execute my operation then there will be no need for a complete encirclement of the ghetto. The terrorists will be dead and we can finish purging. Afterward, we collect the woman and everything will fall into place. I might even get a medal for putting down a rebellion." General Tinn nodded and relayed his orders.
Shinjuku Ghetto
Jaune saw movement on his screen and smirked. This was the worst possible move that the Viceroy could make. With this next move, he would call checkmate. He got on the radio and said, "All right all units. The Viceroy has just dug his grave. All units head underground and stay there. Once you are there turn on your IFF signals. Once I give the word you will destroy the ceiling supports." The resistance members cheered and raced to complete the objective. The Viceroy saw multiple enemy IFF signals appear in the middle of the Ghetto. He figured victory was at hand and ordered all of his troops to surround the enemy position and close in. Those Eleven's were trapped like rats and they would die as such. There was a resounding cry of "Yes, my lord!" from the Britannian pilots as they converged on the enemy position. They all rushed forward and suddenly stopped. The only Knightmare's in sight were friendly ones. Jaune then used the radio to contact the resistance members. He said, "This is the beginning of the end for Britannia." After he said that all the resistance members used their Slash Harkens to destroy the underground ceiling supports. Suddenly, a giant sinkhole opened up beneath the Britannian pilots and buried them below the earth. Jaune chuckled to himself, this was too easy.
Viceroy Black's Command Center
Marcus was in shock. In one move the terrorists had demolished his army. The brains behind this were undeniable. This commander was better than Ozpin. He contacted the ASEEC trailer and sighed, "Can your toy beat them, Lloyd? Can your toy win?" Lloyd was ecstatic and said, "Of course. My creation can win without a doubt, Viceroy. However, please call it the Lancelot." Lloyd switched off the communication and Marcus sighed. He didn't need to incur a debt to Cinder. She was known for being a ruthless witch. She would make sure she got her payment, one way or another.
