Black Knights are Alerted
When the rebels switch on a TV inside their brand new Mobile Base, they see a live report from Kawaguchi Lake convention centre hotel, where Japanese liberation front has taken hostage a few Britannian tourists. Karen quickly realises that among those who are captured are the members of the student council. Zero then announces that they will free the hostages.

The Battle
The news reported that the leader of the group is a man called Kusakabe. Upon seeing the news report, the leader of the Japanese liberation front and Toudou, call Kusakabe an idiot. Rivalz who saw the news decides to contact Lelouch but since Lelouch is still acting as Zero, he decides to hang up the phone. At the same time, the Britannian army is reporting to Cornelia that their attempt to attack through air and water have failed. However, there is one more route that they'd like to try: a lifeline tunnel underneath the hotel. The plan is to send a few frames to destroy the foundation of the hotel. However, once the army lowered down three Frames down the tunnel, they realize that their attempt is easily foiled by the Japanese army's large gun, The Raikou. Zero appears and asks Cornelia that he be allowed to enter the building she agrees and Zero enters to talk to Kusakabe. Meanwhile Lloyd makes a suggestion to lower the Lancelot to destroy the Raikou and support to the buildings. Shortly afterwards the JLF announce they will be killing a hostage every 5 Minutes unless they free incarcerated JLF members. Zero makes his way inside and speaks to Kusakabe, telling him to stop and refuses. Zero goes on to use his Geass and order everyone in the room to kill themselves. Euphemia Li Britannia who was one of the hostages escaped their holding room. Meanwhile Suzaku in the Lancelot destroyed the Raikou and support beams. which he regreats and for a split second sees Zero who he was not informed of being there and thinks he is responsible. However Zero informs Britannia that the Hostages are safe and makes an announcement revealing the Black Knights existence.
