Chapters
Chapter 01 The "Silver Ghost"
Font Beau is waken by the sound of Haroro who promply begins by chastising his lifestyle before he gets ready to leave for school and is meet along the way by one of his friends. During class Font is barely able to keep his eyes open, after he found some information on a new weapon that may be part of the Zanscare Empire's endgame.
After leaving class Font notices a young girl looking through a window and when he approaches her to ask if she is looking for someone, she reply's that he is the one she is looking for and immediately runs off. As Font and his friend give chase Haroro tells Font that his website has disappeared from the net and all the information has been deleted. Font resumes his chase after the girl ultimately following her into the school gym, where she is seen standing alongside a man who introduces himself as Curtis Rothko a representative of Serpiente Tacon.
Curtis goes on to explain that it was his people, who took down his website and says that his actions will soon come under scrutiny from the eyes of the Zanscare Empire and offers him a two choices accompany they or die. Suddenly the colony comes under attack from a MW544B Sandhoge. Before they get a chance to hide they are spotted and forced to run.
As the group run into a alley to try and escapes from the Sandhoge chasing after them, Haroro informs Font that they are slowly after surrounding them. Suddenly Font is pinned down by a Sandhoge as the pilots exit the cockpit to question him Curtis suggests he plays along as they are all going to die anyway and it will buy they sometime for "something" to arrive to help.
Suddenly fog descends upon the city using this distraction Font escapes to help Curtis and Belle except Curtis is nowhere to be found, all of a sudden a strange MS figure appears amongst the fog. The Sandhoge assume it must be an enemy as they have no other allies in the colony and open fire on it, however all of their beam attacks are deflected but as some of the fog clears Font recognizes the MS as the a Crossbone gundam type. As the Gundam makes quick work of the Sandhoges' Font remarks that a unit of its age should have already lost, when it is suddenly revealed that Curtis is its pilot.
Chapter 02 "Flight"
Font and the others are forced to leave the city and take refuge in Zum Special War museum as more Sandhoge arrive. While they are trapped Curtis asks if Font still has a copy of the data Font found on the net on his pad, Curtis goes on to explain that the data is part of the Zanscare Empire's invasion plan for earth and that one of their allies risked his life to obtain it, but surmises that he knew he was being closed in on by Zanscare agents and that’s probably why it was leaked online and how Font obtained it.
Curtis also goes on to explain how they could not crack the encryption on the information by Font did it easily and they may need him. Curtis offers Font a deal that in exchange for his help they will offer protection to him and his family. Font reluctantly agrees as he realizes that he really has no other choice and they begin looking for MS to make their escape in as they all wont fit in Curtis Crossbone.
While they are looking Font asks how Curtis he has a Crossbone Gundam in his possession. Curtis goes on to explain that a supply ship twenty years ago was involved in an accident and the Gundam was left drifting in space as it was simply not known about. He also goes on to say because he went looking for it something unexpected was found, but stops short of explaining what it was. Belle shouts to the Guys will this Zaku II do, Font and Belle realize that reinforcements have arrived outside from the Zanscare Empire under the guise of stopping the malfunctioning Sandhoge.
Curtis tells Font to get ready and he'll head out in the Crossbone. Font exits the basement first and proceeds to bash a Sandhoge with his dummy machine gun as Curtis takes to the air to deal with some of the the ZM-S06S Zoloat reinforcements that have arrived. As Font looks on in amazement at how Curtis is not only able to hold his own against but also manage to disable the radically newer and more advanced units, he fails to notice several Sandhoge approach him and Belle and is only saved at the last second by Curtis.
But just as they think they will be able to escape, a new unit appears in front of them.
Chapter 03 "The Messenger from Thoucus"
The unknown unit that just appeared on the battlefield lunges forward toward Curtis, only for Curtis to narrowly block with his saber. The unknown unit transforms its beam rotor into a weapon reminiscent of a drill bit and destroys the Crossbone's saber, as Curtis falls back he radio's Font to ask him to describe the enemy.
Curtis goes on to explain that he judges everything by sound and the sensors on the Crossbone have been designed to give an audio feedback to the pilot with a different sound for each type of MS. But if the unit has not been encountered before or the computer doesn't recognize it, it will only respond to a standard alert.
Font describes the suit as possessing a pair of three spinning claws, Curtis remembers some development plans describing a specialized Close Quarters Combat for Thoucus. Addition Zanscare forces arrive on the scene and open fire on the Zaku and the Crossbone, only to be instantly sliced apart by the Desphys. A Zoloat pilot demands an explanation from the Desphys pilot as to why he would attack his allies. He snidely responds that although their targets are the same it does not mean they are on the same side and begins to attack Zanscare reinforcements.
Curtis suggests that while the Desphys is busy dealing with the Zanscare forces that they make their escape as they don't stand a specialized unit designed to fight potential a hundred possibly even a thousand units at once. However they don't get far before the Desphys catches up with Font and Belle in the Zaku and launches an attack only to narrowly miss.
As the Zaku falls back down to the ground the Desphys attacks again and misses. Curtis again clashes against the Desphys, while Haroro suggest that the reason the Haroro missed the Zaku is because the MS from the early part of U.C. calendar were bigger than they are currently and when the Desphys attacks it believes the MS is closer than it actually is, this give Font an idea and re-enters the Zum museum.
Font reemerges form the museum carrying a Gelgoog and throws it directly at the Desphys, it's pilot proclaims that he wont miss a third time, but as Haroro accurately predicted he once again misses as the Desphys, computer miscalulates the distance between the Gelgoog and the Desphys. Using this as a distraction Curtis takes flight.
