Plot
Zechs is taken into a space colony to meet with Lady Une. He introduces himself as Milliardo Peacecraft and says he has come from the Sanc Kingdom as a good will ambassador to the colonies. Lady Une agrees to let him do as he pleases. Elsewhere, colony D120 is one of the last remaining Alliance fortresses in space. It is under the command of Gwinter Septem, the son of the late General Septem. He and is men discuss Zechs and agree to listen to what he has to say. On Earth, Duke Dermail congratulates Treize for the progress made by Lady Une. Tubarov prepares to leave for space where he will supervise mass construction of mobile dolls. Treize doesn't like the idea of Lady Une using mobile dolls and asks her what she intends to do with them. She says that she will use them as his soldiers to create his future. He says he doesn't want her to do that and has no power to change the course Romefeller has chosen for the world. Lady Une now wants nothing to do with mobile dolls, but Nichol convinces her that she needs to fight for Treize as an OZ soldier. He is secretly contacted by Duke Dermail and ordered to destroy colony D120.

Trowa asks what's going on, and Nichol tells him that Lady Une has gone off to battle. Trowa asks to use the Vayeate and Mercurius support her, but Nichol has him imprisoned. The mobile dolls begin attacking colony D120, and Zechs asks Septem if he could help them in battle. Most of the colony's space Leos are destroyed by the Taurus mobile dolls. One Taurus remains on the battlefield, and it is piloted by Lady Une. Zechs gets a call from Treize saying he isn't happy about what Romefeller is doing. He says that only Zechs and Lady Une understand him, but that Lady Une's feelings have caused her to have split personalities. Treize asks Zechs to save her. Nichol orders the laser cannon of Barge to be fired at colony D120, despite the fact that Lady Une is still there. As it is about to fire, Trowa sabotages it by activating Barge's thrusters. Zechs grabs Lady Une, and she demands to be taken to Barge. She has Nichol imprisoned for his actions. Nearby, Tubarov's shuttle approaches the Moon, which will be the base for mobile doll production. Wufei attacks with his nearly destroyed Shenlong, but he is unable to do anything. Tubarov has him captured so that he can examine the Gundam.
