Euphemia knights Suzaku, much to the Britannian's disgust, with Lloyd being the only to clap unprompted. Lelouch establishes the hierarchy of the Black Knights, with Oghi as deputy director and Kallen as head of the elite force. Diethard Reid suggests assassinating Suzaku, but Lelouch has other plans for him. He launches an operation to capture Suzaku and the Lancelot at a Britannia military base on Shikine Island. It almost succeeds, but Schneizel el Britannia appears and orders his floating battleship, the Avalon, to bombard the island, intending to sacrifice Suzaku in order to kill Zero. Euphemia steals a ship to put herself in the blasts way, whilst Kallen runs to the Lancelot to stop Suzaku. A young boy and C.C. watch as Lelouch uses his Geass on Suzaku.
