Sons Of Lord Zakuro

Big Trouble,Little Britannia

(Britannia panics.)

Officer: It's not safe to be out. Please, return to your homes.

Gayle: (On TV) The mayor has placed a city-wide curfew until further notice. Tensions are high, as the question on everyone's mind is where are our black knights, and is Delta Zakuro okay?

Wu: Delta. (He holds up his drawing.)

Aria: Not now, sweetie.

Wu: Delta. Delta!

Aria: What are you drawing? What is it? (The phone rings.)

Crystal: Mom!

Aria: Crystal honey! Is my son alright?

Crystal: We found him. (Aria sighs.) But he's in really bad shape. We're headed your way but...but we don't know what to do. It's like...it's like his life force is fading.

Aria: Lloyd. Help. (He shows her the drawing again. Aria realizes it's the logo for Mystake's tea shop.) I know where to take him.

(Delta is taken to the tea shop.)

Delta: Oh. I c—There's—He's too-He's too much. I can't—please.

Suzaku: Hurry. He's burning up.

Mystake: You cannot hurry tea. Only have patience to get it right. It is ready.

Lelouch: Is it going to make him better?

Mystake: It will heal his wounds, but...

Crystal: But what?

Kallen: (Groans.) There's always a "but."

Mystake: It comes with a price.

Magnus: Whatever it is, we will pay it.

Mystake: I will take no coin for this. I speak of a price for you and your friend. Each of you must lay your hand upon him. The tea will focus your Elemental Powers to save him. But it may use up all the power you have left.

Suzaku: Are you telling me to save him, we could lose our power?

Mystake: Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Crystal: Do it!

Magnus: Wait! You don't just jump into decisions like this. I mean—

Lelouch: You're just worried about yourself.

Magnus: Maybe I am. But you saw how powerful Lord Zakuro was. Without our Elemental Powers, what chance do we have?

C2: The decision needs to be unanimous. I will give up my power to save Delta.

Suzaku: Me too.

Lelouch: It's not even a choice. 

(Everyone chooses to save Delta. Mystake gives Delta the tea.)

Mystake: Now we wait.

 (After several hours, Magnus sees he still has his power.)

Crystal: So at least we have our powers.

Magnus: Yeah. But is it enough?

Crystal: It always is.

Magnus: But what if it's not?

Crystal: Black Knights never quit

Magnus: Black Knights don't last forever.

Crystal: Whatever happens,we fight on

Suzaku: (He looks to Mystake, who is humming.) Ugh. What possibly could be so important that you have to do that now?

Mystake: Just a little something—(laughs) to go. (She comes out with tea in a bag.)
