The Black Knight Hotel Incident began with Black Knights led by C.C. searching for Lelouch Vi Britannia in the Kings Hotel. Kallen was already present in the hotel disguised as a waitress, found a memory wiped Lelouch who one a Chess game against a patron who claimed he cheated. Shortly afterward several other female Infiltrators disguised as Playboy bunnies assaulted the man protecting Lelouch. Shortly afterwards a riot started and the Black Knights intervened.

The Battle
Cornelia Li Britannia who was still the areas governer after the Assault on Britannia Settlement took the matter seriously as it had only been a year sense it had happened. She sent in a massive force of Knightmare Frames and Soldiers to immediately crush what they believed to be the Black Knights. Shortly after the report Rolo Lamperouge was sent in secretly by the Geass Directorate to find Lelouch who he was aware of went to the hotel. C.C. Finally finds a Scared Lelouch about to suffer a fate of being gunned down by soldiers similar to the Skirmish in Shinjuku Ghetto. However C.C. tells him to remember who he was, something that Lelouch gets confused by. Shortly afterwards she kisses him and he regains his memories and uses his Geass ordering the soldiers to kill themselves. Lelouch then goes on to tell Kallen he regained his memories much to her happiness and slight annoyance, they go on to attempt to make an escape.

However Rolo inside the Vincent is making short work of most of the enemies he is running into making his way to the top of the complex where Lelouch is. This is due to him using his Geass to affect the time felt by the people caught in it. With his piloting abilities and geass he is even able to beat one of the Four Holy Swords. Kallen rescues Lelouch with Guren. Lelouch who alerts all Black Knights remaining to retreat to the Chinese Federation Embassy. After they escape he detonates the hotels base structure and makes his way to the Embassy, however Rolo is successful in escaping with a Float system. He then uses his Geass on a Eunch General and he is given sanctuary, Britannia Pursues but is forced to stop as firing on the embassy would be an act of war on the Chinese Federation. Angered, Cornelia calls off the pursuit.
