Code Geass > 11. Battle for Narita
The Japan Liberation Front, the largest insurgent group in Area 11.
Viceroy Cornelia was determined to crash them.
She encircled the Narita mountains where her proud Britannian legions applied overwhelming force,
sure their inferior enemy was vanquished.
Then the Black Knights made their move.
Using the Guren Mk-II's radiant wave surger, they caused the water veins of the summit to explode at once.
The mountain collapsed.
Both the Japan Liberation Front and the main Britannian forces were engulfed in mud and rushing water.
Cornelia was isolated. Most of her forces lost.
Seeking an unprecedented reversal, Zero commanded the Black Knights to hunt down Cornelia.
In their hearts, everyone has faith on their own existence and ultimate triumph.
However, When time and destiny unfold, this faith turns out to be quite fleeting and pointless.

Darlton: What are our losses?
Army: I've only got signal from 20% of our forces.
Darlton: 20%? Our command structure can't sustain this.
Army: This is Marceau unit. I can't raise General Alex.
It looks like the second division has been wiped out!

Suzaku: Lloyd, what's going on?
Lloyd: Umm, it's very unnatural.
Suzaku: Unnatural?
Lloyd: There seems to be an unconfirmed report that the Black Knights have appeared.
Suzaku: Zero...
Lloyd: Congratulations, this is our chance.
Suzaku: Lloyd.
Cecile: You're so rash.
Lloyd: Whoa? Why is that?
Cecile: Would you like a detailed explanation?
Lloyd: Eeh, no, I will pass...
Anyway, while the high command's still gathering data, all we can do is play by ear, right?
Anyway, while the high command's still gathering data, all we can do is play by ear, right?
Army: Is the viceroy safe?
Army: Yes, she was outside the mud flow.
But the units guarding her flank were lost.
That means she's totally isolated.

That means she's totally isolated.
Army: What the hell are those Pure Bloods doing?
Kewell: C'mon, move! I can't lose to Elevens.
I am a Britannian!
I am a Britannian!
Villetta: Lord Kewell!!
Lelouch: All right.
Guren Mk-II, move to planned point.
We'll break through the rest of their line and take Cornelia.

Kallen: Right.
Black Knights: Got it. Let's pull this off.
Villetta: Fight to the death!
Sugiyama: Ugh...Aahh!
Tamaki: Sugiyama, you're okay?
Sugiyama: Yeah...
Black Knights: Get them.
Lelouch: That's right. Move swiftly.
If you survive this battle, you can call yourself a true warrior.
And afterward...

Army: The Pure Bloods are holding their ground?
Army: Yes sir. Under Lady Villetta's command.
Army: Then use the moment for the viceroy to retreat. Send air cover.
Euphemia: No wait. Something's approaching the viceroy from behind.
Tohdoh: All units, are you ready?
Four Holy Sword: Yes sir.
Tohdoh: All right. Deploy the custom Burais.
Four Holy Sword: Deploy.
Tohdoh: Listen carefully. If this landslide was manmade, it should allow us to hit Cornelia from behind.
Capture Cornelia now. Take revenge for what happened seven years ago.
Capture Cornelia now. Take revenge for what happened seven years ago.
Four Holy Sword: Yes sir. By the honor of the four holy swords.
Cornelia: What?
Guilford: Protect her highness.
Tohdoh: Surround them.
Cornelia: Japan Liberation Front?
Tohdoh: Slash and encircle!
Four Holy Sword: Right!
Tohdoh: These are not just any Burais.
Asahina: This reminds me of seven years ago.
Chiba: But it's different now. This time we have Knightmares as well.
Guilford: Your highness, leave them to us. Please you have to withdraw for now.
Cornelia: Very well. I know a way to turn this around. Guilford.
Guilford: Yes.
Cornelia: After you drive them back, meet me over at point nine.
Guilford: Nine? I understand.
JLF: Cornelia!
Cornelia: You weaklings.
Villetta: All right. Keep this up and crash Zero!
Tamaki: Maybe we should get Kallen over here.
Lelouch: No, if we break formation now, our plan is ruined. This is turning grim.
If it goes on we'll be fighting her royal guard next.
If it goes on we'll be fighting her royal guard next.
Kallen: Zero, Cornelia is under attack down below.
Lelouch: What's that? Which team made the move.
Kallen: It's not our people. Looks like the JLF.
Lelouch: Someone else understands my intent? How excellent.
They'll hold off the royal guard which is just what we need.
They'll hold off the royal guard which is just what we need.
Tohdoh: I'm sorry for the late arrival, general.
Katase: Tohdoh. We've been waiting.
Tohdoh: General, please send all remaining units to join me here.
Katase: Can you beat them?
Tohdoh: Yes. But only if we can hold off their main force. We have a chance now to turn the entire war around.
Guilford: I've heard area 11 has a formidable commander, their shining knight. Is this him? Tohdoh?
Fine. Let him try me.
Fine. Let him try me.
Darlton: Umm... at a time like this?
Army: What do we do?
Darlton: Fall back! We have to find a way to link up with viceroy Cornelia.
Army: But sir. Their main base is right in front of us. And if we're hit from behind we'll be wiped out!
Darlton: You fool! If princess Cornelia is taken by these Elevens this entire battle is lost!
Army: Y..yes sir. whoaa.
Army: Sub-viceroy Euphemia you must act now to prevent disaster. Send in the G1!
Euphemia: No.
Army: But commander Guilford is completely pinned down. He can't get to Cornelia.
Her life is at stake here.
Her life is at stake here.
Euphemia: We can't. There's a field hospital right here and civilians.
They've been evacuated from all over the area and brought to this point.
Besides, the G1 base is a command center. The viceroy ordered me not to move it
no matter what, that's why ... I just can't.

Lloyd: Well, hello there. The ASEEC crew reporting for duty.
Army: Insolence!
Army: You are irregulars. Your orders are to keep silent and observe.
Cecile: Yes sir, normally we would but..
Lloyd: But all of this waiting around is boring.
Suzaku: Sub-viceroy Euphemia, I beseech you. Please order us into the battle.
Army: How transparent. You just want the glory of rescuing the viceroy.
Army: Our whole army is out there. You think one unit is going to change things with an Eleven pilot?
Lloyd: Right, right. But what's the harm in trying? Since it's just one unit it won't look bad for you if we lose, right?
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Euphemia: Euphe? Yes I understand. Please do it.
Lloyd: We got it.
Cecile: Thank you very much.
Suzaku: Right. I won't fail.
Tohdoh: Damn it. He's fierce.
Tohdoh: Scatter!
Urabe: Lieutenant Colonel, what about Cornelia.
Tohdoh: If Zero's the man I think he is, he's moving into position right now. We've got to trust him.
Guilford: What? Zero's on the move?
Villetta: Right. We'll keep going and come over and back you up.
Guilford: Never mind that now. Just track Zero.
Villetta: Yes sir. This is his projected course.
Guilford: The princess was trying to trap Tohdoh. Now there's a Knightmare waiting for her.
Princess Cornelia!
Princess Cornelia!
Cornelia: I got the message. Guilford.
Cécile:

Lloyd:
Suzaku, there's one thing I want to ask you.
Suzaku, there's one thing I want to ask you.
Suzaku:
What's that?

More than anything, you hate when people die.
Yet, you are in the military. Why is that?

This is checkmate.

Cornelia:
Zero.

Zero:
Yes. Should we cerebrate our reunion?
Of course, you'll have to surrender to us first.
And after that, there are a few questions I want to ask you.
And in case you are wondering, your reinforcements won't get here in time.
I win, Cornelia.

This one. If I take this one out, I'm free and clear!
You've got some moves!
You are a fool, Zero.

Kallen:
Huh!

Huh? Ugh!
Coward! Attacking from behind!

Zero:

And your own attack methods don't show acts of cowardice?

Darlton:
Ugh...Aghhhhh...
They've launched a pincer assault before we could regroup.
I'll never be able to reach the Princess now.

Ohgi:
Yeah. The one from Shinjuku and Lake Kawaguchi.

It's interfered with us enough!

Kallen:
I hate it when you say it like that but...
I hate it when you say it like that but...
Ohgi:
Yeah, but people aren't just pieces in a chess game.
Zero wouldn't think like that.
If he did, he'd end up using us as pawns, too.
I don't believe he'd do that.
His rage is real. He hates Britannia as much as we do.
I think a person who knows rage also knows sorrow.

Going in for capture.

Suzaku: Zero, I owe you.
I know that you've saved a lot of people.
I know there're lots of Elevens supporting you from the shadows.
However, your methods are very wrong.

Lelouch: Wait. What are you doing?
You are challenging a Knightmare?

It'll be indirect contact but it's worth a try.

That's impossible.
No, I didn't mean to...
No, I, I just...

That's impossible.
No, I didn't mean to...
No, I, I just...
Lelouch: Hey, are you using Geass on him?
C.C.: I'm just feeding him some shock images, I can't tell what he's seeing, though.
Anyway, you've got time to get away now.
Anyway, you've got time to get away now.

You're unveiling me.

Suzaku: I had to do it.
Lelouch: What's happening to him?
C.C.: Idiot.
Get away now.
Get away now.
Lelouch: C.C.
C.C.: Hurry!
Chiba: Damn you!
Tohdoh: Don't follow!
I have no idea what Zero is trying to do now.
Our only course of action is to get to the General and get him out of here.

Guilford: Your Highness, I'll be right there.
Cornelia: Guilford, relay this message to all units.
Prepare to retreat.
There's no reason to waste the lives of any more of my men.
Stay in formation and fall back cautiously.
We have to face facts. We've been defeated this time.

Tamaki: You see, Britannia sure had its hands full just dealing with the Liberation Front.
Ohgi: Yeah, that gave us the chance we needed to escape.
Kallen: Hey, where is Zero?
I can't raise his Burai.
You don't think he's been captured, do you?
I can't raise his Burai.
You don't think he's been captured, do you?
Lelouch: This girl, she can't be human.
She recovers from wounds in ways that are beyond normal.
She was shot in head in Shinjuku and yet...
Clovis confined her for his private experiments so she is not connected with Britannia.
Her vital signs are at human levels.
I'd better analyze the blood sample later and photograph the wounds.

(dripping)
C.C.: You finally called me by my real name.
(dripping)
Cornelia: So, Zero escaped again.
Guilford: The Japan Liberation Front hammered our defenses and he slipped away in the confusion.
Cornelia: Despicable. Using someone else to cover his movements.
Oh, what about Kururugi?
Oh, what about Kururugi?
Guilford: He is safe now.
We had to wait till his energy filler run out to finally stop him.

Cornelia: Stop him from what?
Was there a problem with his unit?
Was there a problem with his unit?
Guilford: Apparently, it was going berserk.
Guilford: A failure unworthy of my older brother's forces.
Lelouch: I removed the shrapnel and cleaned the wound.
C.C.: That wasn't necessary.
Lelouch: Apparently not.
C.C.: So there was no point in protecting me at all.
Your pride always gets in the way at the most ridiculous moments.

Lelouch: That's your name, isn't it?
C.C.: You have a bad habit of eavesdropping.
Lelouch: Well, it's a good name.
It's a lot more human than C.C.
It's a lot more human than C.C.
C.C.: Oh, that's a joke as if I want to be more human.
After all, I, I...
I've forgotten everything, every single thing.
So what's the use of it?
A name?
But why...?

Lelouch: It's a good time to say this.
Yes, you saved me today.
You did that before and then gave me Geass.
That's why I'll only say this once.
Thank you.
Yes, you saved me today.
You did that before and then gave me Geass.

Thank you.
C.C.: No one's ever thanked me before.
Well then, can you show your appreciation?
Say it again like you did before.
Well then, can you show your appreciation?
Say it again like you did before.
Lelouch: Oh, you mean the name.
C.C.: Just this once with tenderness like you treasure it in your heart.
Lelouch: Very well then.
(dripping)
Lelouch: How was that?
C.C.: It was bad.
It was completely bad.
It wasn't tender.
There was no honesty or sympathy in it.
You spoke it oddly and worst of all, it was cold.

Kallen: Zero, are you OK?
The others went on ahead and... Who's that?

I don't hate it.

C.C.: I see.
(dripping)
Still not enough! I need something more to checkmate Cornelia.
And I have a feeling that what's missing is inside of me, something I have to face and overcome.
Then, I can lead the Black Knights to the next stage.
Yes, and if necessary, I'll even!
