4:00 p.m., Saitama "Ghetto". The area around Saitama was locked down due to the Britannian military's presence there, trying to find potential "terrorists." Alistair entered the ruined area and began searching. The hood he wore covered his face, so it would be difficult for the Britannians to identify him. Once he found a vantage point to work from, he found an old stereo and began fixing it.

Alistair: It's probably going to take them a while to get things riled up. And I have time to spare.

30 minutes had passed since then. A Sutherland was surveying the area, in search of Zero. The soldier piloting the Sutherland makes his report.

Soldier: No sign of Zero or any enemies out here.
Radio: Copy that. Return to base and regroup.

It is then that music could be heard in one of the abandoned buildings.

Soldier: Wait. I hear something. I'll check it out.

The soldier piloted the Sutherland towards the source of the strange music, carefully. Once close enough to the building, he could barely make out the lyrics that were carried by the music.

Soldier: What in the world...?

The music took a softer tone for a moment as the Sutherland approached the building. Seemingly out of nowhere, Alistair jumped to the top of the building as soon as the guitar solo began. He looked at his surroundings and only saw that the Sutherland was his audience. Alistair hung his head in disappointment that no Japanese citizen came out to see him. He gave a signal to the Sutherland to come closer and turned off the stereo. The Sutherland made its way to Alistair's location and opened its cockpit.

Soldier: What are you doing here? This area is off-limits.
Alistair: Would you care to explain why you're here, killing innocent people?
Soldier: They defended terrorists that defy the Britannian Empire. I answered your question. Now, leave.
Alistair: (thinking) I do have this Geass that C.C. mentioned. Worth a shot to use. (out loud) Look, buddy, can't you see that what you're doing is wrong? It happens to be anarchic and pure evil, pal.

When Alistair said this, his left eye began glowing red and a strange bird symbol appeared. The symbol began to move, as if it were flying, towards the soldier's eyes. Once the symbol reached the soldier's brain, the distorted, echoing sound of an eagle's cry could be heard. The soldier's thoughts became clear and understood Alistair's words as his eyes momentarily glowed red.

Soldier: What the hell have I been doing? Hang on, I'm coming down.

The soldier utilized an elevation hook to get down from the Sutherland. Once he was down, the soldier walked towards Alistair while holding some form of supplies.

Soldier: I'm still curious about why you're here.
Alistair: I'm here to stop these chaos-bringing chumps from killing any more innocent people. If I don't stop them, who will?
Soldier: Good choice of reasoning.
Alistair: Now it's your turn. What the hell are these asswipes doing here? "Stopping terrorists?"
Soldier: That's the excuse. And we're actually doing that, while trying to lure out Zero.
Alistair: Zero? What, you don't like the fact that he pissed you off in some way?
Soldier: More or less, because he killed Prince Clovis.
Alistair: Well. So, that's what he did. That's pretty respectful, actually. But, here's the question: What makes you think that Zero's even here?

As soon as Alistair said this, a series of explosions could be heard. Alistair saw a bridge occupied by Britannian units before assuming his current post and could tell that the bridge was destroyed.

Alistair: That's him. Probably gonna have to rebuild that.
Soldier: If that's Zero, then there's going to be trouble.
Alistair: Who's in charge of this op?
Soldier: The current Viceroy of Area 11, Princess Cornelia.
Alistair: Oh, ho! Blood Knight Cornelia, looking for a fight. Ever still seeking the lead of might.
Soldier: Basically. Are you planning on stopping this operation?
Alistair: You're damn right. Little Miss Blood Knight wants a fight? I'll give her a fight.
Soldier: Well, you're going to need these. (pulls out headset) This headset should allow you to communicate with Knightmare pilots, no matter who they are.
Alistair: Nice. (takes headset)
Soldier: (shows portable radar) This is the same radar that's in every Knightmare. However, this one displays all units, whether Britannian or otherwise.
Alistair: (takes radar) I should probably color code the units on the map. Make things easier.
Soldier: (shows file) And this should tell you the entirety of the plan and other secrets. I heard there's an experimental Knightmare currently at the base and should leave when the operation is done.
Alistair: (takes file) Well, I better get studying, then. What about you, though? What are you going to do? Head back to base?
Soldier: No. After realizing all the wrong that we have wrought, I am not going help them any further.
Alistair: Well, you could join my gang of good guy mercenaries.
Soldier: Sounds good. What are your orders, sir?
Alistair: For now, get back in your Sutherland. (takes out cell phone and begins typing) I'm sending some coordinates to your interface. Hide out in that area until I say otherwise. (closes cell phone) Got it?
Soldier: Yes, sir. I will await your orders.

Once the soldier got back into his Sutherland and left, Alistair returned to the inside of his vantage point. A few minutes later, he had finished memorizing the contents of the folder concerning the presence of the Britannian "military" in Saitama.

Alistair: (closes file, thinking) Alright. So, I'm dealing with around 80 Sutherlands, a few Gloucesters, a crap ton of military vehicles and Blood Knight Cornelia, herself. They're trying to make this situation similar to the one that Clovis dealt with in Shinjuku, in order to draw out Zero. The experimental Knightmare that the new guy spoke of is a "Riot Control" Sutherland. If the normal ground troops can't deal with the riot, then they would send in that bad boy. More lethal than nonlethal, if you ask me. The resistance group of these parts, the Yamato Alliance, is working with Zero. I should help them out and make sure they survive this encounter. (activates radar) So, the Yamato Alliance is using Sutherlands in order to fit in with the crowd, huh? Highlight them with yellow, Britannia with red. Zero's probably in a Sutherland, too, so he can sneak into the ranks and keep an eye on his allies. A smart guy, this Zero. Let's check in on the Britannian communications.

Alistair put on the headset and began intercepting the Britannian's communication.

Commander: Viceroy! There's a unit alone in the ghetto.
Cornelia: Have Guilford destroy it.
Commander: But, Viceroy!
Cornelia: It's a trick. Destroy that unit.
Alistair: (out loud) Wait, there's a Sutherland heading towards here. Could that be the unit?

Alistair looked outside the building and noticed that a Sutherland was moving down the road and stopped at the halfway point.

Alistair: That's probably it. What are they sending, anyway?

Alistair looked at the radar and sees that three units were also utilizing the road that the Sutherland was on. These units were Gloucesters, elite Knightmares.

Alistair: They're using the big guns, huh? Better save that guy. What the hell's his frequency?

While Alistair was finding the Sutherland's frequency, the Gloucesters began speeding towards the Sutherland.

Alliance Member: Can't you read the IFF? I'm on your side! Dammit! I think I have to fight them!
Alistair: (over radio) Freakin' finally. About time I found the signal.
Alliance Member: Who is this?!
Alistair: Doesn't matter right now. You need to deal with these guys, ASAP.
Alliance Member: They're Gloucesters! How am I supposed to beat them!?
Alistair: Unless you want to be skewered, do as I say. Understood?
Alliance Member: ...Fine. What do I do?
Alistair: Wait for the opportunity to strike, then book it to a hiding place.
Alliance Member: And where is this opportunity?!

The Gloucesters were 10 seconds away from running the Sutherland through with their lances when Alistair spoke again.

Alistair: Right now. Jump into the air!
Alliance Member: Right!

The Sutherland jumped into the air before the Gloucesters could hit it.

Alistair: Those cronies on the left and right. Make it rain!

The Sutherland began firing its submachine gun at the Gloucesters to the left and right of the commanding unit. Taking too much damage, the cockpits of the Gloucesters ejected. The Sutherland landed on the ground after dealing with the Gloucesters.

Alistair: I've sent some coordinates for a hiding spot to your Sutherland. Head there, now.
Alliance Member: What about this last guy?
Alistair: I'll deal with him. Go!

As the Sutherland began fleeing, Guilford's Gloucester recovered from missing with its lance.

Guilford: Don't think you can get away so easily. You may be an impressive pilot, but you won't escape.

As Guilford piloted his Gloucester toward the fleeing Sutherland, three gunshots could be heard. It was then that Guilford noticed that his Knightmare had taken damage and stopped chasing the Sutherland.

Guilford: That's strange. There aren't any other Knightmares out here. So, who shot me?

Alistair jumped from his vantage point in the abandoned building and used his right leg to strike Guilford's Gloucester to the ground, face-down. Guilford positioned the head of his Gloucester to see who struck him. What Guilford saw was a hooded man as he looked up.

Guilford: Who are you?!
Alistair: I am what chaos and anarchy fear the most. So, tell me, are you afraid?
Guilford: I fear nothing! I am Princess Cornelia's personal knight! You should fear me, terrorist!
Alistair: Hate to bring you bad news, bud, but knighthood's dead. Love is king. And, from where I'm looking, it seems like you're using fear to rule the world. So, that brings up a very good question: who are the terrorists and who are the good guys? As punishment for killing innocents, I am going to kick your ass. If you don't understand that, allow me to translate: I shall layeth the smaketh down, forthwith.
Guilford: How dare you threaten me! I am a knight of the Holy Empire of Britannia! The Spearhead of the Empire! You are nothing! You are a mere-!
Alistair: Forthwith!

After Alistair yelled at Guilford, he ran forward kicked Guilford's Gloucester with his right leg, launching the Gloucester into the air. As the Gloucester is soaring through the air, Guilford's scream could be heard as he gets further and further away.

Alistair: (talking into headset) You alright?
Alliance Member: (over headset) Yeah. I saw everything. Who are you?
Alistair: Can't tell you right now. Didn't put up a jamming frequency. They could probably hear us, right now.
Alliance Member: Okay. Do you work for Zero?
Alistair: No, I don't.
Alliance Member: Good, 'cause we're breaking off with him.
Alistair: What, was his plan that stupid?
Alliance Member: Yeah! People are dying! Our leader just died!
Alistair: Alright. Tell the rest of your guys to hide at the coordinates I sent you and regroup. Chaos ain't reigning here.
Alliance Member: Right. We'll regroup and await your orders.
Alistair: (turns off headset) Back to the vantage point I go. What will the Blood Knight think of next, I wonder?

At the Britannian mobile base, Cornelia was watching her plan come to fruition, as Zero's forces were falling, one by one.

Cornelia: (thinking) This isn't the same situation like you experienced in Shinjuku, Zero. Here, I will win and you will fall.
Commander A: Viceroy! The pilots who accompanied Lord Guilford's unit aren't responding! We've lost contact!
Cornelia: (out loud) Huh? That's...weird. What about Guilford?
Commander B: We don't know! We've lost track of him! His unit isn't destroyed, however.
Cornelia: Where did he go, then?

It was then that General Andreas Darlton, who was staring out one of the windows, chimed in.

Darlton: Um, Princess Cornelia?
Cornelia: What is it?
Darlton: Can Guilford's unit fly?
Cornelia: Last I checked, no. Why do you ask?
Darlton: Because he's flying, right now.

Cornelia was confused by what Darlton said and walked towards the window that he was looking out of. It was then that Cornelia saw Guilford's Gloucester soaring through the air and fall to the ground. Before the Gloucester could reach the ground, both Darlton and Cornelia could hear Guilford's screaming muffled behind the window.

Cornelia: (shocked) Can, uh... Can someone connect a signal to Guilford? I'm...kind of worried.

Cornelia walked over to the radio once the signal was established.

Cornelia: Guilford?
Guilford: (strained) Yes, Your Highness?
Cornelia: You okay?
Guilford: Barely. Back hurts.
Cornelia: What happened!? How did you get launched into the air like that!?
Guilford: You... You wouldn't believe me. Too much pain from the impact. I'm going to sleep, now. Have someone pick me up, please.
Cornelia: Wait! Who attacked you!? Zero!?
Guilford: He whom chaos and anarchy fears. And I'm pretty sure that he called us terrorists.
Cornelia: Rest easy, Guilford. We'll make them pay.
Guilford: Good luck with that. I hope you enjoy the challenge.

The signal with Guilford ceased once the conversation finished.

Cornelia: We're not dealing with just Zero. There's someone else out there. And they're, somehow, winning. Chaos and anarchy fear him, huh? (pauses) What the hell does that even mean?

Back at Alistair's vantage point, Alistair contacted the Yamato Alliance at the coordinates that he sent them.

Alistair: (talking into headset) Everything all good, on your end?
Alliance Leader: Yeah, we're fine. Also, there's a Britannian soldier with us.
Alistair: Yeah, that's the new guy. Treat him with respect, yeah?
Alliance Leader: You know what? Why should we respect him? He's Britannian!
Alistair: And that's an issue? I'm American, and you trusted me.
Alliance Leader: Oh. My bad. But, why's a soldier with us?
Alistair: Let's just say that I'm a persuasive guy. He's stuck with you guys as punishment for his actions.
Alliance Leader: Intriguing choice of words. Who are you, anyway? I heard that you're not with Zero.
Alistair: Alistair Wake. Be fortunate that I made sure our communications can't be intercepted. What about you, man?
Alliance Leader: Since Izumi's dead, I have to take over. The name's Kiryu.
Alistair: What, no first name?
Kiryu: I don't feel like telling you that information.
Alistair: Well, I can at least guess, right? Uh..."Akihiko?"
Akihiko Kiryu: Damn you.
Alistair: Ha! First guess!
Kiryu: And a very good one, at that.
Alistair: Well, Kiryu, I welcome you and your posse into the Tokyo Mavericks.
Kiryu: Hold on, there! I never said that we would join you!
Alistair: How else am I gonna pay you?
Kiryu: (pauses) So, what's the plan?
Alistair: Well, since I probably pissed off the Blood Knight, she's going to go all-out. There's a chance that she'll try to ambush units that are alone out here. During your time with Zero, how many Sutherlands did you destroy?
Kiryu: I don't know. 30?
Alistair: (checks radar) Yeah. There's nearly half the original amount left. How many Sutherlands do you have?
Kiryu: 18, plus the fact that we're screwed.
Alistair: There's no time to quit, now. The fight's just begun.
Kiryu: We can't win this! There are Gloucesters out there, too!
Alistair: Calm down. We got rid of three of them, didn't we? So, this should be a cinch.
Kiryu: (sighs) All or nothing, I guess.
Alistair: Alright. Get the Knightmare pilots into their Sutherlands. The ground troops need to be armed and dangerous. It's time for some advanced tactics. How many highly proficient pilots do you have?
Kiryu: Uh...Seven?
Alistair: Those guys are Alpha Group. You're the head honcho, so you get your own Sutherland. Second place pilots will be Bravo Group. Three Sutherlands and five ground infantry shall be Charlie Group. You got any dudes that are proficient with explosives?
Kiryu: Yeah.
Alistair: Those guys are Delta Group. Tell everyone to get into the positions that I just sent and await my orders. No one is dying, today. Got it?
Kiryu: Yes, sir!

Cornelia reached her Knightmare, got into the cockpit and closed it. She began powering on her personal Gloucester when Darlton began speaking over the radio.

Darlton: (over radio) Are you sure about this, Princess?
Cornelia: Someone just launched Guilford into the air and you expect me to let them get away with it?
Darlton: No, but do you really think this will work?
Cornelia: It will work. Order all units to split into teams, find Zero and kill whoever attacked Guilford.
Darlton: Understood.
Cornelia: (thinking) Once I find you, I will end you without a second thought.

Almost immediately, Cornelia's Gloucester launched into the battlefield and sped off in search of Zero. Heightened thoughts of revenge stirred deep in her mind as she sped through the ruins of Saitama.

Cornelia: There is no one on this planet that calls me a terrorist and gets away with it!

Alistair checked his radar to check on the Yamato Alliance's units and make sure everyone was ready for Alistair's advanced tactics.

Alistair: (talking into headset) All set, people?
Kiryu: All set.
Alistair: Alright. Tatsumi and Kirijo, Sutherlands heading your way. Wait till they pass, then have your group waste them with RPGs.

Alistair looked at his radar and saw that three enemy Sutherlands have been destroyed.

Alistair: Nice. Matsumoto, take out one of the vertibirds in front of you with your Slash Harkens. Maintain the grasp on it and spin to take out the rest of the encirclement. Bravo Group, there's units waiting to ambush you. Spoil the surprise. Charlie Group, take out the tanks ahead of you. Delta Group, set off those fireworks that you made.

Alistair could see on the radar that the tactics were working as enemy units keep dropping off the radar.

Alistair: We aren't done, yet. We start strong, we finish strong. Kiryu and Alpha Group, form a straight line with your Sutherlands and move towards the last squad of these chumps.

Around 20 Sutherlands were moving through Saitama when one of the commander's radios went off.

Communications Officer: There's enemy units heading your way.
Commander: How many?
Communications Officer: 7? 8? I'm not sure.

The commander checked his Sutherland's screen and saw only one Sutherland moving towards his unit.

Commander: (laughs) 8? There's only one!
Communications Officer: Can't you see the radar? Wait, you don't have our radars!
Commander: It must be malfunctioning, or something. We can take this.

Alistair watched on his radar that the line of Sutherlands made by Kiryu and the members of Alpha Company was being maintained.

Alistair: Now, Mighty Ducks! Form a Flying V and waste these chumps!
Alpha Group: Yes, sir!

The commander watched the Sutherland as seven more Sutherlands appeared from behind it and aligned into a V formation.

Commander: What?! We weren't ready for this! We don't have the ammo-!

As soon as the Sutherlands in Flying V formation opened fire, the 20 Sutherlands began retreating, but could not escape the crossfire.

Alistair looked at his radar and saw that a majority of the enemy units have been annihilated.

Alistair: Good work, team. And thank you, Delta Group, for telling me that the building you destroyed wasn't really liked. I would have been up to my neck in complaints. Head on out to the coordinates I just sent you. You deserve a break.
Kiryu: We can still take them!
Alistair: Don't be stupid, Kiryu. Leave the tough guys to me. You guys rest up.
Kiryu: You'll take care of the rest? Fine. Be careful.
Alistair: When am I never careful?

Alistair looked at his radar again and saw that a Gloucester was heading towards the area that he was in.

Alistair: I'll call you later, man. I've got a guest.

As Darlton began surveying the current area he noticed that there was movement in one of the abandoned buildings. His voice rang out from his Gloucester's speakerphone.

Darlton: I know you're out there. Just come out.

As soon as Darlton said this, a hooded man came out from the building and faced the Gloucester. The hooded man waved at Darlton, saying "hello."

Darlton: I don't know who you are, but you are interfering with a military operation. Please leave, immediately.

The hooded man responded by reaching out his right hand and using the "bring it" hand gesture.

Darlton: You?! You're the one who launched Guilford!? You don't even have a Knightmare! How could you possibly launch a Knightmare into the air!? Never mind. It doesn't matter.

Darlton began charging his Gloucester towards the hooded man, lance forward.

Darlton: You're coming with me, dead or alive!

Alistair could see that talking to Darlton would not work and decided to stop the Gloucester with his left hand. The grasp that Alistair had on the Gloucester's lance stopped the Gloucester in its tracks. Alistair wanted more strength into the prosthetic arm and he crushed the lance with his left hand. Alistair moved the lance aside and jumped into the air to give the Gloucester a spinning heel kick with his right leg, causing it to fall backwards.

As Darlton tried to get his Gloucester to stand up, he was utterly horrified by what transpired. Once his Gloucester stood up, he saw that the hooded man was waving "goodbye." Thoughts of immediate retreat raced all throughout his mind.

Darlton: Uh...Yeah. Goodbye.

Darlton's Gloucester began speeding away from Alistair after the short fight had concluded.

Alistair: He must be in a hurry. God, I am going in and out of my damn vantage point a lot. Hopefully, this is the final time I do that. Going back up!

Cornelia was heading towards the area where Darlton was and noticed that his unit was moving away from the area.

Cornelia: Darlton, where are you going?!
Darlton: (over radio, frightened) Away from the area.
Cornelia: And why are getting further and further away from your post?
Darlton: I ran into the guy who launched Guilford.
Cornelia: Did you kill him!?
Darlton: Nope.
Cornelia: Well, then, what happened!?
Darlton: Remember what Guilford said, when he told you that you wouldn't believe the situation he was in?
Cornelia: Yeah. And?
Darlton: He was right. You wouldn't believe what the both of us experienced.
Cornelia: Cowards! The both of you! I'll take care of this bastard, myself!
Darlton: Yeah. Good luck with that.

Once Alistair got back to his vantage point, he checked his radar to see that a third Gloucester was heading towards his position.

Alistair: Wow, this place sure is popular. What's with this place? Is there, like, a gold mine underground, or something? (looks at unit on radar) Wait a sec. That's the Blood Knight's unit, isn't it? Well, then...(draws silver Desert Eagle)...Time for some marksmanship...(pulls slide on Desert Eagle back) But, first...(pulls out cell phone)...let's see if I can have a chat. (opens cell phone)

Cornelia piloted her personal Gloucester to the area where Darlton was, then stopped. Her voice rang out from the Gloucester's speakerphone.

Cornelia: Alright, you murderous bastard! Come on out! I know you're here! Come out here, so I can kill you!

After screaming in rage, Cornelia noticed that the radar screen on her Gloucester was showing static. Before she could try to fix it, the screen changed again and words began typing themselves onto the screen.

Screen: Must you scream everywhere you go, Blood Knight?
Cornelia: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Especially when you kill soldiers of the Britannian Empire!
Screen: You guys must have seen a lot of V for Vendetta, because you seem to be based on the antagonist organization of said movie.
Cornelia: (chuckles) Okay. That's pretty funny. (serious tone) But, seriously, I will find you and I will kill you.
Screen: Almost touched your heart, there, didn't I? Doesn't matter right now, though. Please leave the area and leave the Japanese citizens alone.
Cornelia: You think you can scare me off? You may have scared Guilford and Darlton, but you won't scare me!
Darlton: (over radio) Be careful what you wish for.
Cornelia: (at Darlton) Why are you still on the line!? Aren't you busy running from some pansy tactician, who's face you've never seen!?
Darlton: Tactician? Yes. Pansy? Not really.
Cornelia: I never asked for your opinion, Darlton!
Screen: Who are you talking to?
Cornelia: Oh, crap. I forgot that I left the mic on.
Darlton: (sarcastically) Smooth.
Screen: Yes, you did.
Cornelia: Great. I never took Darlton to be a snarker.
Screen: I can't believe you even know that word. I mean, I'm a snarker.
Cornelia: Darlton, our conversation can wait. (turns off radio)
Screen: I take it this "Darlton" is one of the guys I laid the smackdown to?
Cornelia: Yes. He happens to be a General, for your information.
Screen: Wow. And here I though he was a lieutenant. His skill said as much.
Cornelia: Just don't say that to his face. He'll get pissed and ramble on about his six sons.
Screen: Uh...
Cornelia: Don't worry. They're adopted. Plus, he isn't married.
Screen: That's just sad. He's just a ticking, testosterone-filled time bomb.
Cornelia: Oh, I've got to use that. That's good. Maybe, like, "contain the calamity that is your testosterone." (laughs) That's worth plenty of laughs. That is so worth it.
Screen: See this? You're chatting with an enemy, and you're enjoying it. Isn't this fun?
Cornelia: I should do this more often. Maybe we can get along.
Screen: Sure. As soon as you stop bringing chaos, anarchic law and terrorism to the world.
Cornelia: (stops smiling) You're not serious, are you? Britannia is an empire. We already own the world.
Screen: Both your "empire" and imperialism can kiss my ass. Then, they can die.
Cornelia: (pauses) The imperialism one I somewhat understand, but you would kill an empire? Mass genocide?
Screen: Incorrect. Bring down the House, make it go bust.
Cornelia: Ohhh. I see what you mean. Civilians don't get hurt, but military officials and the emperor do?
Screen: Correct. Also, more or less, arrest or kill the emperor.
Cornelia: Arrest my father? On what charges?
Screen: I kinda told you the charges, already.
Cornelia: What, the chaos, the anarchic law-? (immediately realizes the truth) Son of a bitch, those are big charges.
Screen: Welcome back, conscience. Are you gonna do your job, this time?
Cornelia: Look, I just want to keep my sister safe. Okay? You know what? Screw it! Come out here and fight me!
Screen: At least we got to have a few minutes of conversation. Alright. Sniping time.
Cornelia: Oh, you're gonna snipe me, huh? Well, I'd like to see what your diminutive rifle can do against my Knightmare!
Screen: Who says I'm using a rifle?

Immediately after that entry, the screen showed static again and the radar returned. Then, Cornelia began hearing gunshot after gunshot and notices that her lance was exerting sparks. After the 16th shot, Cornelia positioned the lance to where she could get a close look at it. The lance of Cornelia's Gloucester had a narrow, vertical line that could be seen through, made by bullets. Upon seeing this, Cornelia turned off the speakerphone and re-activated her radio and began issuing orders.

Cornelia: (frightened, in deadpan tone) Attention, all forces. We're leaving. Now.

Cornelia began piloting her Knightmare away from its current position as fast as it possibly could.

Cornelia: And if I'm not making myself clear, allow me to clarify. (pauses) Run!

As Cornelia began speeding away from Alistair's position, Alistair began to feel entertained by what he did and blew the smoke from the barrels of his Desert Eagles.

Alistair: I wonder what's more embarrassing: the fact that she got her ass kicked by a high school student, or the fact that she got sniped at by pistols. Either way, that was grade-A ass kicking. I deserve a reward. In fact, I think I'll get myself a Knightmare.

Alistair exited the building that served as his vantage point and began walking towards Britannian territory with thoughts of retrieving the Sutherland prototype.

Meanwhile, at Shinjuku, James, Ichika and Taiga arrived at the warehouse to find the front door open and the charred remains of a Knightmare. The three rushed inside and found Eriko, with a shocked expression on her face.

Ichika: Eriko! What happened, here?!
James: What the hell was a Sutherland doing here?!
Eriko: You wanna know what happened?
Taiga: Yes! We very much would!
Eriko: Awesomeness.
James: Huh?
Eriko: Awesomeness happened.
Ichika: What are you-?
Eriko: (excited) You missed out on something extraordinary, guys! First, those gang jackasses showed up...
Taiga: Son of a bitch.
Eriko: They were about to kill us...
James: Son of a bitch.
Eriko: All hope seemed lost...'til this bancho looking guy walked into the line of fire.
Ichika and Taiga: (in unison) A bancho?
James: What's a bancho?
Ichika: Basically, a Japanese delinquent. Coat-length jacket, cool hat, pure ass-kicker.
Eriko: So, this bancho walks around, talking them to death, one guy runs away and the rest just shoot at him.
James: Worst decision of his life.
Eriko: The cool part about that was that he dodged every bullet...while dancing.
James: Wait, what?
Eriko: Then, he jumped into the air and invoked Kamen Rider to knock out one of those clowns, then proceeded to hand them their asses.
Taiga: What the shit!?
Eriko: He then called out the leader, who arrived in a Knightmare. The bancho pulled out two pistols, one black and one silver, and laid waste to the cockpit and kicked the Knightmare out of the warehouse, then the Knightmare exploded.
James: That explains why it's charred.
Eriko: Turns out that the bancho isn't Japanese. He's American.
Ichika: An American?! Here?!
Taiga: The hell did he come from?!
James: (thinking) American? Not Britannian? Wait a minute! (out loud) Did this man have short, brown hair? Icy blue eyes?
Eriko: How'd you know that?
James: Holy shit. (begins laughing)
Ichika: You know the guy?
James: He's the one who saved my ass. If it weren't for him, I'd be dead and I'd never meet all of you.
Ichika: (pauses) I like him, already.
Taiga: Same. Hope to meet him.
Eriko: You'll have a chance, Saturday. He said he was starting a group called the "Tokyo Mavericks." Don't what it means, but he said that the people in here are going to have jobs.
James: If they have jobs, they can get paid, buy the things they need. Sounds like the only job opportunity I've got, right now.
Ichika: This weekend will be productive, huh?
Taiga: Why do I have the feeling that shit's about to go down?
Stage 3: Return to Battle, Son of Liberty
Part 4: Saitama Showdown

Saitama is under attack by Cornelia and her forces, claiming to be wiping out potential "terrorists" that the people living there could be hiding. Zero made his presence known to Cornelia, and a disguised Alistair is on the scene, entering first combat with Britannia in 10 years.
