Plot
Lady Une continues to make progress with the space colonies. When Nichol asks her to return to Barge, he sees that she seems distant since she's in her good mode. Bad Une takes over and returns to Barge. On Earth, Zechs wakes up in a room and meets Howard. Howard tells him that he didn't think anyone else could pilot the Tallgeese as well as he did. Howard worked on the Tallgeese development with the mad scientists. He tells Zechs that there is about to be a drastic transformation in space and that he should go there. At Barge, Lady Une is informed that one of the shuttles carrying a Gundam is approaching. She orders Nichol to capture it with the aid of mobile dolls. If the pilot is ugly, then he is to be spared. Nichol seems confused, and Lady Une says it's a joke. The mobile dolls prepare to attack the shuttle when Deathscythe comes out and begins attacking. Duo underestimates the power of the mobile dolls and is quickly beaten. He tries to self detonate, but he has no power left. Lady Une orders Duo and the Deathscythe to be taken to colony C1102. There, he is put on display as a symbol of what happens to those who oppose OZ. He is interrogated and placed in jail.

Heero sees him on TV and decides he must kill him. He breaks into the jail and aims his gun at Duo. At the last moment, he decides not to kill him. The two of them run around the base aimlessly because Heero has no escape plan. Nearby, Wufei appears with the Shenlong and attacks Barge. Lady Une is on her way out to a conference and is caught in the battle. Nichol heads out with mobile dolls to fight Wufei. He orders the laser cannon of Barge to be fired, despite the fact that it kills OZ soldiers. The Shenlong is heavily damaged, and Wufei is shocked that OZ would kill its own men. Lady Une appeals to Wufei to stop the battle and create peace. Since she doesn't make any sense, Nichol orders his men to shoot Wufei. Wufei stabs himself with his beam lance and flies away. Heero and Duo distract the mobile dolls by setting Leos as the target, which causes them to destroy all surrounding Leos. Heero tells Duo that Gundams are useless now because the mad scientists have been captured by OZ. He vows to kill them. On Earth, Zechs launches in the repaired Tallgeese with extra thrusters to get to space.
