Code Geass Gaiden: Lancelot & Guren -Kallen arc- Ep05 Part 1
Xingke: Zero...! What is the meaning of this?!
Zero: Don’t move!
Xingke: ...I’m reminding you, but Black Knights owe us for our help back in Area 11.
Zero: That’s why I’m ruining this wedding, just like what you guys are planning to do. However, I’m also taking the bride with me.
Xingke: You demon!
Zero: Oh, am I? Hahaha... HAHAHAHAHA!
Benio: Doing things like kidnapping a bride... Isn’t Zero actually a romantic?
Savitri: Huh? What part of him is?
Benio: The part of him that goes against political marriages! Don’t you think it’s romantic?
Savitri: Nobody is ‘saving’ the empress from some unwanted marriage, though?
Savitri: Britannia and Chinese Federation are two factions that make up the three world superpowers. If they join alliances, United State of Japan will have no chance against them. Zero is simply preventing that from happening by kidnapping the empress.
Benio: Of course I understand that much! But, did he just have to kidnap the bride? There are other ways to prevent the alliances from happening.
Savitri: Well, since we’re talking about that Zero here... it’s probably not just to stop the political marriage...
Benio: I know, right? Zero is an ally of justice after all!
Savitri: No, I mean...
Benio: Oohh! I feel like I just got a sudden spirit booster!
Savitri: ...Well, so be it... she’s always been carefree girl after all.
Savitri: Okay, I’m cutting the communication line. The car that’s bringing the empress will arrive soon. Do your best.
Benio: Of course! You too, Savitri!
Kallen: Sheesh... They’re too damn persistent!
Tamaki(?): The bridge is gone...!!
Zero: Asahina!
Asahina: Okay, okay. All forces, prepare to attack!
Xingke: The troops you sent to pursue them have been annihilated, haven’t they?
Eunuch: ...how do you know?
Xingke: The location is the cliff at Shen Chong. If it were me, I would lay an ambush there, and stop the enemy from pursuing further.
Eunuch: ...and then?
Xingke: Of course, I would then rejoin the main troop at Xiaopei.
Eunuch 1: Hmmm.
Eunuch 2: Xingke, we will pardon your crimes. If you promise you can take back Tianzi-sama, we will even lend you that thing.
BK soldier: There’s an attack! The leading KMF troops are being ransacked! Halt! All forces halt!
Savitri: Something’s not right... according to Zero’s analysis we aren’t supposed to encounter the enemy until another hour... Is there someone from the enemy’s side that can read Zero’s intention...?
Benio, please respond!
Benio: I somehow made it out okay... but it seems some of our comrades in the leading troop has been defeated...!
Savitri: Is that... Shenhu!? That’s... impossible!
Savitri: That’s the ultimate machine developed by Rakshata’s team in India military region, in pursuit of ideal machine that the engineers have dreamed of. Yet rumor said because of the unit’s high specification, many pilots have been killed during run-test.
Savitri: If there’s someone who can pilot that unit which only drawback is that it’s un-pilot-able...
Savitri: This is bad! Benio, run!
Benio: Wh-what’s wrong!?
Savitri: Facing someone who can pilot that machine, if you don’t flee right away you’ll die!
Benio: That’s...! There’s no way I’ll flee, I mean...
Benio: I can’t retreat while Kallen-san is fighting on her own right in front of me!! Thanks but sorry, Savitri!
Kallen: The energy is running out!
Benio/Savitri: Kallen-san!
Xingke: I hate to copy your example like this, but I have my reason for doing this. It’s Tianzi-sama.
Benio: Kallen-san!! Uh..!!
Zero: Kallen! Don’t give up...! We’ll definitely come to rescue you! Listen well...! Don’t do anything reckless!
Kallen: Yes! Understood! I won’t give up!
-Mausoleum of Eighty Eight Emperors-
Savitri: Benio!!
Benio: Savitri... I couldn’t do anything...
Benio: I wanted to chase after Kallen-san... but I wouldn’t be able to do anything by myself anyway, so I thought even for just a little, it’s better to be of help in protecting Ikaruga, that’s why I didn’t chase after Kallen-san. But... but...! The truth is, aren’t I just scared?! In the end, I put myself over Kallen-san...!
Savitri: You silly! By holding yourself back and coming back safely, you’ve done what you have to do the most, you know? You did great, Benio.
Benio Uwaaa!!
Zero: Benio, Savitri. I know this is a hard time for you, but now is not the time to cry. Follow me.
Zero: What’s crucial for the next operation is ‘time’. This is Benihouzuki, a machine that'll help us earn one minute, or even one second of time extension.
Zero: This is originally supposed to be Kallen’s duty, however... Savitri, I ask you to make the final adjustment for this machine hand over from Kallen. This situation may appear to be hopeless, but you’d be wrong to think so. Benio, I want you to pilot this unit. Can you?
Benio: ...Understood!
