The Decepticons have found the ''Ark'', and are racing to destroy it. The Autobots and Black Knights mobilize to defend their home, but will they win?

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Decepticons, having learnt for the ''Ark''[='=]s exact location in Chapter 4, launch a massive full scale assault on the Autobot ship, intending to destroy it and everyone on board. The Autobots and the Black Knights end up repelling this attack and escaping them, sending the ''Nemesis'' crashing into the spot where the ''Ark'' was.

* BigBadassBattleSequence: The chapter has virtually ''[[SerialEscalation every named character that is part of the Black Knights, Autobots, or Decepticons]]'' engaged in a battle to save/destroy the ''Ark''. Even [[NonActionGuy Rivalz, Milly, and Shirley]] take part in the fight via remote turrets.

* DifficultButAwesome: The Omniglobe allows Lelouch to watch multiple battles simultaneously so he can best coordinate the Autobots and Black Knights everywhere. He himself notes, though, that doing so puts such a heavy mental strain on him it's a double-edged sword. Not many strategists can bring victory to more than one concurrent battlefield; Lelouch can and does.

* HeelRealization: At the end of the battle, Marianne, due to Optimus’ geass affecting Anya, begins to feel regret over what she has done.

* PunchCatch: Undertone does this to Headlock.

* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: {{Downplayed}}. Due to Optimus’ geass, Anya started remembering who she was before Marianne took over, which allowed her to wrestle control of her body from Marianne.

'''Rai''': Then it's an even fight!

* YouShallNotPass: Spoken word for word by Drift to Knockout when the Decepticon doctor makes an attempt at the Ark's shield generator.

* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end of the battle, the Nemesis ends up crashing into the same spot the Ark was occupying, only now its immersed in lava.

* ShoutOut: Rai brings to mind [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Shipmaster Rtas Vadum'ee]] at the beginning of the fight.
-->'''Jetfire''': Seekers incoming! They outnumber us three to one.\\

* YouShallNotPass: Spoken word for word by Drift to Knockout when the Decepticon doctor makes an attempt at the Ark’s shield generator.

* MissionControl: Lelouch takes command for this particular battle from the Omniglobe, a Cybertronian capsule that allows him to view the skirmish from multiple vectors.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Soundwave's Mini-Con team laughed at the notion that they can be stopped by three Mini-Cons and one "meatbag" (Sayoko). Then turrets operated by Shirley, Milly, and Rivalz, plus Misty Ix in an Akatsuki, join in the battle, which ends with Sayoko [[OffWithHisHead slicing off Frenzy's head]], Undertone stabbed through the Spark, and the Decepticons retreating.

* MotiveRant: Schneizel gives a subdued one where he tells his half siblings why he bretrayed Britannia and joined the Decepticons, explicitly bringing up TheEvilsOfFreeWill. [[ShutUpHannibal All of them tell him off for siding with]] [[GalacticConqueror the Decepticons]].

-->'''Jetfire''': Seekers incoming! They outnumber us three to one.
-->'''Rai''': Then it's an even fight!

* InternalReview: Lelouch, Nunnally, and Euphemia all learn that Schneizel collaborated with Megatron to cause the fall of Britannia.

Having discovered the Ark's location, Megatron unleashes a full-scaled assault. The Autobots and the Black Knights must make their stand whilst getting the Ark airborne at the same time.

* KilledOffForReal: Skywarp, Frenzy, Headlock, Quake, and Groundpounder meet their ends in this chapter. Skywarp gets obliterated by Wizard, Frenzy decapitated by Sayoko, Headlock impaled by Undertone, and finally Quake and Groundpounder were caught in the exhaust blast of the Ark's engines.
* OffWithHisHead: Sayoko manages to decapitate Frenzy with a hidden blade.
