Plans of Counter Attack

The Chief Cabinet Secretary of the old Japanese government, Sawasaki Atsushi, declares the revival of a legitimate independent Japan in Fukuoka base, Kyuushuu. Unfortunately for Black Knights, this event is reported by the news reporters as having connection to them. The Black Knights quickly find out that Kyouto has nothing to do with this since they're too busy with Sakuradite mining. Because of this, Kallen asks Zero what they should do. Another news group report that the Sawasaki group collaborates with the Kyuushuu terrorist organization. After cutting off Honshuu and Shikoku's land traffic network, the organization intends on occupying Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Ooita with the backing of the Chinese Federation. Despite this, a Chinese General Named Zhao claims that this is nothing more than humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, Lloyd, Cecile, and Suzaku are Given the Avalon to mount an Assault, although Schneizel himself is back in Tokyo Temporarily acting as administrator due to Cornelia's absence.

Cornelia Strikes

Meanwhile Cornelia suffers a setback in her attempt to attack Kyuushuu. She finds out from Gilbert that due to the stormy weather, they can't launch landing operations. Inside Fukuoka Base, General Zhao points out that thanks to the storm, Britannian forces cannot land for an all out assault. Sawasaki boasts that this is because heaven is siding with him. Meanwhile Zero informs the Black Knights that they won't join Sawasaki because they are just puppet government being controlled by and taken advantage of by the Chinese Federeation as opposed to something that is working independently. He thinks there is no future if they just change the name and the ruler. Upon hearing this, a Member of the Black Knights asks Zero what is this organization's true objective and much to their surprise, Zero announces that he would like to establish an independent state in Tokyo. Diethard is very pleased to hear this but the others are still in the state of shock. Ougi points out that although Black Knights' membership have become large, their enemy is a Empire that controls a third of the world. In response Zero wonders if they intend on waiting for someone to come and defeat Britannia. He believes that unless they do something by themselves, nothing will come true.

Lancelot Intervenes

Avalon reaches Kyuushuu and is greeted by SAM attacks. Lloyd deploys the Avalons MSV Shield which defends them from the rockets. As Suzaku begins to launch Lancelot, Cecile briefs him the mission which requires him to breakthrough the enemy line from high altitude. However, he will be doing this with the new float systemwhich consumes a lot of energy, Suzaku is advised to pay attention Lancelots energy readings. While travelling on air, Suzaku hears Lloyd telling him that the occupation of Kyuushuu is due to Sawasaki's belief in reviving the old Japan. Because of this, if the guy lost, The Chinese Federeation will have no need to intervene and instead withdraw. While charging through the Gun-Rus, Suzaku gets a video mesasage from Sawasaki, who recognizes him as Genbu Kururugi's son.

Suzaku tells Sawasaki that he has no ambition of helping him and instead came to destroy him to keep the peace.

Sawasaki goes on to accuse Suzaku of snatching away Japan's dream to become independent. In response Suzaku tells the guy to fulfill this dream through the right means. Their conversation ends when Suzaku gets attacked by a Hoard of Gun-Ru. The Situation Worsens, Suzaku's power supply is depleting rapidly. Upon seeing Suzaku switch into low-power mode, Sawasaki mocks him, promising to treat him like the orphan of Kururugi Genbu. Suzaku is angry to hear this and tells the guy that he won't forgive him for using his father's name here. All of a sudden, Euphemia appears on Suzaku's monitor, Exposing her true love for him which he admits he loved her back. With new found hope he destroys the Gun-Ru Rushing his position however due to him being distracted he does not realize that Lancelot's power supply is fully exausted.

Gawain Intervenes

Suzaku seconds away from death due to Hundreds of Gun-Rus surrounding him is saved Zero and C.C inside the Gawain. The hadron canon works due to Laksharta applying a Gefjun Disturber into the frame. Zero hands out an Energy filler to Suzaku and truces with Suzaku telling him he'll attack the enemy.

Suzaku accepts the filler and the two decide to attack the base together. Zero tells Sawasaki that the Black Knights are enemies of those who use unjust violence. When Sawasaki claims that he's doing it for the good of Japan, Suzaku asks the guy if it's for Japan's sake, why did he run away to the Chinese Federation. Shortly afterward Gawain and Lancelot break into the main Fukuoka Base HQ and force Sawasaki to Surrender along with General Zhao.
