The Collapsing Stage

Lelouch’s strategies give the Black Knights and their allies the upper hand in their battle against the Britannian Army. As riots break out through the country, the Black Knights take over the Ashford Academy as their headquarters, and the students are spared on Lelouch’s orders. An enraged Suzaku, now informed of Zero’s identity by a mysterious young boy named V.V., pursues Lelouch for revenge, which Cornelia also covets.
