Plot[]
In Von Braun, the largest city on the Moon, Melanie Hue Carbine arrives at a nightclub, and meets with Lieutenant Quattro Bajeena and Wong Lee. The two are already talking about how much the AEUG is focusing on defense; Wong thinks it's too much, but Quattro says it can't afford to look too aggressive. All three discuss the state of Axis Zeon, which has arrived in Earth sphere. Quattro says he intends to make contact with them and make them an AEUG ally, if he can use Argama. Wong leaves to make those arrangements, while Quattro asks Carbine if he believes that the Zabi Family survivors could be honorable; Carbine, after some reflection, says only that talking couldn't hurt.
On the Alexandria, mobile suits led by Yazan Gable take off, along with others from nearby ships, off to attack Argama. But inside Alexandria, Captain Gady Kinsey gives Jerid Messa and Mouar Pharaoh a different task: go to a nearby abandoned colony, and wait there: Argama will surely escape from the attack from Yazan's team, and go to where Jerid and Mouar are waiting. They will ambush Argama, the destruction of which will shake Kamille Bidan enough that Jerid can destroy the Zeta Gundam. That satisfies Jerid: they'll go.
In the Alexandria locker room, Jerid and Mouar are suiting up, and Mouar is worried that Jerid is obsessed with Kamille. Jerid agrees, he's stuck until he defeats Kamille, even though Mouar thinks it's a dangerous situation. She floats over to him and kisses him, to assure him that she'll be there to protect him. They go out to the hangar and launch in their mobile suits, flying off in a different direction than Yazan's team went.
The Argama and Radish are floating in space, both preparing mobile suits in their hangars. Fa Yuiry scolds Shinta and Qum for hanging around her, though Kamille says she should go and play with them, since a war could break out at any time. Fa considers pilot duty her priority, but Kamille says to leave piloting to him. Captain Bright Noa calls to them all.
In a conference room, Captain Bright complains that the ship is not a daycare center. Fa and Kamille start to respond, but Captain Bright stops them and tells them just to do what he says. The kids laugh at him, and he leaves.
Jerid and Mouar have hidden in rocks near the abandoned colony, and Jerid recommends that Mouar not try too hard.
Yazan's team arrives in the vicinity of Argama and Radish. Both ships go to battle stations and launch mobile suits. The groups of suits approach, and then stand a bit apart, not firing. Emma Sheen remarks that they are acting strangely.
Then the AEUG ships detect enemy ships approaching; they open fire on each other. The AEUG mobile suits notice, and Kamille and Fa turn aside to intercept them. Now Yazan's team moves towards Argama and attacks it. Captain Bright sees that they are taking damage and orders Argama to move towards the abandoned colony; he remarks to himself that he sent away all of his mobile suits, so he has no defenses left.
As Argama and Radish approach the abandoned colony, they are seen by Jerid and Mouar. They move out from behind the rocks they were hiding in, and attack the Argama. Captain Bright calls for anti-air fire, but they take damage from the suits, there are damage reports from all over the ship. Captain Bright orders the mobile suits to come back.
We see Shinta and Qum, in spacesuits, floating in an airless corridor inside Argama.
Kamille comes up to the scene of the battle and recognizes Jerid's suit; they fight, and Mouar hurries over to help. She sees other AEUG suits headed their way, and worries that Yazan's team didn't keep them busy.
Emma and Fa arrive at the scene. Fa has a sense that the kids are in trouble, and heads towards Argama, while Emma calls for Fa to join in the fight.
In the Argama bridge, they are trying to coordinate their anti-air fire, and deal with reports of fires and compartments open to space. Captain Bright tells Fa to come near and attack the fires from outside the hull. As she does so, she notices their Haro floating outside; she catches it, and realizes that the living quarters, where the kids belong, must be open to space. She gets out of her suit and goes into the airless corridor. She finds the kids and leads them towards a safety hatch.
Kamille and Jerid are fighting, and Kamille is torn between attacking Jerid and moving to protect Argama. Emma joins him and she and Mouar fight. Then Kamille has a sense of where Fa and the kids are, and yells: "Don't go that way!"
Fa and the kids get to the hatch, when it explodes.
Jerid and Kamille continue to fight. Kamille wields a gun, and Mouar sees it and zooms over to get herself in the way of the beam. Kamille fires, killing Mouar. Kamille shoots again and seriously damages Jerid's suit.
Jerid has a vision: he is floating in space, with no suit, and has memories of him and Mouar. He wonders if he has died, and then Mouar is there for a moment, and then disappears. Her voice soothes him: he will never lose, and he will guide the world in the proper direction. Jerid complains, why did Mouar have to leave him?
Now Jerid opens his eyes, and he's still in his suit; his arm is numb, but he's otherwise unhurt. He has a brief vision of Mouar, and he touches her ghostly hand until it fades away, and he's really touching a suit control. Fully awake again, he turns back into the fight.
As Jerid fiercely attacks the AEUG suits, he flies past them towards Argama. Kamille is surprised that Jerid can still fight, as Jerid fires and damages Zeta, and then fires at Argama. Emma is already there defending Argama, and she fires back at Jerid. He realizes that he can't defeat them, and flies away.
A Titan signal flare bursts out, and Yazan and his team follows the order and returns to Alexandria. Jerid stops and gets out of his suit to look around for Mouar, but just sees debris.
Inside the Argama, a damage control team finds unconscious Fa and the kids.
In the Argama bridge, Captain Bright congratulates Emma for protecting them. Emma praises Kamille as well, and says not to be too hard on Fa. Bright wants to "correct" Fa, but Emma says that won't help. Bright agrees, but feels that Fa doesn't really have what it takes to be a pilot. Fa arrives at the bridge, and, after a moment of thought, Bright thanks her for saving the children, and for minimizing the fire damage. Emma leaves, thinking of the faces of Jerid and Mouar in battle.
