Rolo uses his Geass to buy Lelouch time to converse with Nunnally without revealing his restored memories to Suzaku. Lelouch orders the Black Knights to capture Nunnally as she is transported to Japan by airship. Successfully boarding the vessel, Zero meets and tries to convince her that Britannia is using her as a figurehead. Nunnally reveals she volunteered for the position and states she wishes to continue the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan (SAZOJ), requesting Zero to join her. Britannian reinforcements hinder the Black Knights' assault and Suzaku manages to retrieve Nunnally.
