Ginto Christoph maintains Sakuya imprisoned, intending to make experiments with her Geass. Meanwhile, the Neo Britannian Army storms the Seven Shining Stars hideout. The other resistance forces arrive to protect them, but their leaders end up sacrificing themselves to let the others escape. Amidst the battle, Ash fights Arnold, who was restored into a cyborg equipped with an Anti-Geass device that he uses to dispel the effects of Sakuya's Geass on him. Furious with Sakuya for impersonating his brother and using him, he leaves the battlefield and storms Christoph's lab. Ash fights and defeats Christoph, who flees and Sakuya apologizes to Ash for using him as he prepares himself to kill her.
