Summary[]
Plot[]
The Re.H.O.M.E. and Serpent Tail shuttle approach GENESIS Alpha, and Ash is surprised that the enemy decided to come to him. Lowe tells everyone that he doesn't want to kill, but he says that Ash has a deadly super weapon and must be stopped at all costs. Ash attacks Jean and Elijah, and the two barely dodge his attacks. After dropping off Loretta and Reed at GENESIS Alpha, Gai returns to the ReHOME to swap out Blue Frame's parts. Afterwards, Lowe launches in the Powered Red, followed by Gai in the Blue Frame Second L. Lowe tells Ash that he's going to defeat him with Powered Red, and Ash responds by de-activating the Mirage Colloid on GENESIS Alpha. He then says that if the Regenerate Gundam absorbs GENESIS Alpha's beam on its anterior side, the lightwave receptors will allow it to travel at very high speeds. Ash speeds up and attacks, but Lowe dodges and damages Ash with the giant Gerbera Straight. Ash says he can just swap out with the spare parts, but Gai reveals that he found all of the Regenerate Gundam's spare parts and destroyed them. Loretta and Reed report to Gai that they've taken control of GENESIS Alpha, and Jean and Elijah report that they've taken out the mobile suit squad. Ash attacks Lowe and says he isn't finished yet. He attempts to call ZAFT for reinforcements, but Kenaf blocks the signal and says that he wants to be the one who controls the transfer of information. Ash then detaches the backpack from the Regenerate Gundam and latches onto Powered Red. He says that if a mobile suit has external connectors, he can jack in and take control of the suit. Lowe struggles to escape, and Gai tells Lowe that he's going to fire his Gatling gun at him. Lowe asks 8 for help, and 8 works quickly to allow Lowe to break free from Ash. Loretta detonates the bombs she's planted around GENESIS Alpha and is shocked when nothing happens. Ash laughs and says that bombs won't do anything because GENESIS Alpha is protected with Phase Shift armor. Ash assembles some spare parts from what's been damaged and recombines them. He says that Lowe and Gai are both in GENESIS Alpha's firing line, so they'll both be destroyed for sure. Lowe grabs onto Ash and says he's going to win not because he has superior equipment, but because he cares about his machine. He then punches the Regenerate Gundam's weak spot and says that if someone isn't familiar with their suit, they can't protect it. Without directional controls, Ash realizes that he'll drift uncontrollably through space. Afterwards, Gai says that Ash will drift into Alliance territory and will surely be captured. He asks Lowe what he plans to do next, and Lowe says he wants to clean up GENESIS Alpha.
