Code Geass: Haruka of the Confrontation

Battle 5: "Chance Encounter"

After multiple terrorist actions over the course of two days, the AGB launched their first operation using Knightmares in Akihabara, a shopping district in Tokyo. The operation saw the deaths of multiple civilians. It was only interrupted when, the Knight of Shinonome, Haruka, rescued her friend, Yoshiko, the real identity of the her named 'Zero." A skirmish occured afterwards, which eventually resulted in Haruka's victory after she defeated several Knightmares.

This is also the first time where the 8th-Generation Knightmare Frame, "Arthur," made its debut. It was piloted by the terrorist, Y.Y., who used it in a duel against Haruka's Lancelot Soror. The duel nearly ended in her defeat since the Lancelot Soror js superior to the Arthur in numerous ways, but due to one AGB pilot, she retreated instead.

Haruka attempted to pursue her, but she was stopped by Yoshiko before doing so. She returned to the government borough afterwards. Overnight, news about Yoshiko's survival over the massacre that happened and the Knight of Shinonome's victory over the AGB's Knightmares urged the UFSI to declare a war on terror against the AGB on the next day.

After the declaration, multiple soldiers within the Sunshine Black Knights, the UFSI's main military, and the School Idol Knights, the elite force that consisted of seven school idols-turned-knights including Haruka, celeberated as they can finally do something about what's happening.

[After the assembly]

Chika: "Another conflict, huh?"

Yoshiko (Yohane Zero): "I knew that it was coming..."

Chika: "Really?"

Yoshiko (Yohane Zero): "It came to my nerves ever since the Second Great Knightmare Acquisition Rush a month ago, where three schools alledgely stole them.

Chika: "But in the end, it wasn't schools, right?"

Yoshiko (Yohane Zero): "Yes, but I might keep an eye on some schools. I have a theory that Y.Y. is a high school student."

Chika: "Oh..." *Notices Haruka walking* "Wait, isn't that Dame Haruka?"

Yoshiko (Yohane Zero): "Yes. Why?"

Chika: "You did say that she stays at her home during the weekend... Since it's Saturday, I thought that she went to her home after the assembly."

Yoshiko (Yohane Zero): "The explanation is simple... Her sister is not at their home as of the moment."

[Near the School Idol Knights HQ]

After the assembly has ended with the declaration of war, Haruka, who was unable to go home due to her sister, Kanata, going somewhere during the weekend, headed to the School Idol Knights HQ.

Haruka: (Mind) "Onee-chan is currently away, so I can't go home for this weekend. I might as well just head to the HQ and wait for the AGB to act." *Reaches the HQ* (Mouth) "Haruka Konoe, the Knight of Shinonome, enteri-"

Haruka entered the the HQ, which was full of food and decorations. It was a result of the School Idol Knights being overjoyed by the declaration of war and decided to have party after the assembly ended. Haruka was surprised to see what's happening.

Sumire: "Oh, if it isn't Dame Haruka, who just returned from the assembly!" *One-arm hugs Haruka* "Why don't you enjoy the calm before the actual storm for a bit?"

Setsuna: *Swallows food* "Yummy! Dame Sumire, your cooking is amazing!"

Sumire: "I just supervised the cooking. I did not actually cook it."

Setsuna: "But still..."

Tsubasa: "Cooking or not, you still did an amazing job."

Yuna: "Pa!" *Swallows food*
