The Ark Fleet has been destroyed, and a significant number of the enemy's troops have been wiped out due to its crash landing. As the remaining forces of the Knights of St. Michael regroup in order to launch a final assault on Castle Weisswolf, the W-0, along with their new ally Ashley Ashra, stand ready to intercept them. Meanwhile, with his Geass out of control, Shin moves to erase his younger brother's existence once and for all. But Akito, having promised Leila that he will come back alive, refuses to accept such a fate, and the two clash in their final battle. After their victory against Shin's troops, Akito, Leila and the other members of the Wyvern Squad retire. Shortly after, a young man named Rolo rescues Suzaku and Lelouch from the Euro Britannnian prison and informs them that Emperor Charles zi Britannia requests a new audience with Lelouch/Julius Kingsley.
