Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture (コードギアス 奪還のロゼ)

The Loki and Foulbout's synchronization is now complete.

Oh, this is exciting!

We've reached the moment my research finally sees the light of day.

All that's left is to activate the automated targeting program,

which will identify and kill Neo-Britannia's enemies.

Oh, that's right.

I need to get more data from that one site before...

- You're finished here. - Huh?

Your presence is no longer required.

Huh?

Wait... this has to be a joke, right?

WAIKIKI

RIO DE JANEIRO

DUBAI

PORT OF KOBE

Damn! What the hell is that thing?

There's no mistaking what that is. It's our enemy.

It makes me sick.

Leila, your orders.

Oui. Leave it all to me.

ZILKHSTAN AIRPORT

Who sent these machines?

They dare threaten the peace of humanity?

BRITANNIA REPUBLIC

I've managed to take out the attackers in the right lane.

But more just keep on coming!

Control room, I need a status report.

Multiple units approaching from the east side.

They look like enemy reinforcements.

What? They brought backup?

Ugh, we're really in for it meow, aren't we?

CAPE TOWN

We have been forced to engage

with unidentified intruders in 48 major cities.

Some front lines have started pulling back

as a result of escalating damage along Britannia's coast.

Areas with few Knightmare Frames stationed

have been completely destroyed.

BLACK KNIGHTS CRISIS MANAGEMENT OFFICE

All right. Understood. We need support.

Send word out to all PMCs and retired soldiers.

We're all hands on deck,

so if they can pilot a Knightmare, get them here, now!

Just a minute, sir!

Independent military action violates the UFN Charter so...

This is no time for that kind of talk!

If the enemy's identity is unknown,

then we treat this like a disaster response.

I'll take full responsibility!

Have we come across any new information yet?

Numerous unidentified machines

have reportedly appeared within the Luxembourg Domain.

The scale of the enemy is still unknown.

Oh, I see...

- - Huh?

Natalia?

Thank goodness, you finally picked up!

Hey! You're not in danger over there, are you?

I'm fine. I'm hiding in a military shelter.

- -

From what I've been able to tell,

there doesn't seem to be a pattern to any of their attacks.

So do you think... that maybe they're not Neo-Britannian forces?

If that is the case,

then the Imperial Palace and Sakura could be in danger.

I know I'll be safe here, so hurry and help...

- - Natalia?

BLACK KNIGHTS HACHINOHE BASE

Unknown intruder approaching the command center.

Destroy it with a three-pronged attack!

Roger that!

What was that?

Hey, you!

So is it Neo-Britannia behind all this, Lady Vaughn?

- What are you talking about? - Stay right there!

Take one more step and we'll be forced to take lethal action against you!

Lower your weapons!

But, sir!

Were any of you actually paying attention to what Lady Vaughn was doing?

You see fit to point a gun at her after she saved the life of one of ours?

It's no wonder peace is still a distant dream.

I'm very glad to have your support. I appreciate it.

I can assure you I am not your enemy.

If you doubt that, then judge me by my actions.

What's wrong, Rozé?

I don't know what to do.

Is it really okay for me to be selfish right now?

Your mission is vital.

Rozé, you must leave at once to rescue Sakuya Sumeragi.

But...

Don't worry.

I'd like you to leave Luxembourg to us.

It's all right. We have a team heading out already.

You guys watch, I'm gonna look so good saving the day!

That's a great idea. You'll finally be useful.

Shut up!

The Artemis, uh, I mean the Ortygia,

can get you over to the palace in no time at all!

You're just going to have to accept it.

All you two need to do is focus on saving the Empress.

We're all relying on you, Rozé.

You guys... Thank you.

All right, then. Time for us to head out.

GOVERNMENT OFFICE IMPERIAL MANOR

Your Majesty, please wait.

I assume that you've heard, Sir Lindstedt?

About the Luxembourg Domain?

If all of that is true, then Norland must know something about it.

Let's pretend that he does.

Do you really believe that man would admit anything to you?

On the contrary, he could escalate and put you in danger.

But still...

You may be a stand-in for Empress Sakuya,

but you are this country's highest authority.

Consider your place, and what else you can do with that power.

What else I can do with it?

Yes, you're right.

I will push to better everything that I can.

- -

Okay, now! To the second floor!

All right!

Mei! Get to Princess Sakuya's room!

Got any weapons on you, Boss?

They're all empty now. We won't be able to hold out much longer.

What? Come on, you know I don't wanna hear bad news like that!

- Here it comes. -

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Now then, how should we deal with this thing?

The bazooka didn't have much of an effect.

Which means...

That's one nasty-lookin' son of a bitch!

No kidding.

Here it comes!

Munemori!

This is real bad!

I thought I was done for.

How can one machine be that powerful?

Seriously. You've gotta be kidding me.

These robots... Are they trying to send them to attack

every corner of the globe?

- Let's head underground. - Okay.

What is that thing? And who does it belong to?

We're almost there.

I'll leave the controls to you for now.

Okay, Ash. Roger that.

The Imperial Manor... Part of it got destroyed.

It's possible they were evacuated.

Let's land, so we can search.

Oh! I'm surprised you're still alive.

First, a weird machine goes on a rampage upstairs.

Now running into you just makes this worse.

Lady Sabathra.

You're ridiculously annoying, so I'd love it if you left.

What if we worked together?

We are unable to do this on our own.

I'm begging you!

Sorry, what?

Empress, what are you doing?

I need to survive. I can't afford to die just yet.

And now that death's around the corner,

you're sniffing around and looking for help, huh?

This always seems to happen with people who are weak.

Please. I know I may be an Empress in name only.

But... if I can do something now,

I might be able to save more lives, if only a few.

That's all. I wish to fulfill any duty I can.

No. I have no choice but to fulfill it.

Well, you've certainly changed, haven't you?

- -

It's dangerous to remain here.

Yes, it appears so.

Okay, follow me.

I'll show you a route you wouldn't be able to access on your own.
