Plot summary

Beyond the moon are several dozen colonies: the Principality of Zeon. Here, Dozle returns in his Musai to Zum City, the capital of Zeon. In the palace, which stands in the midst of the city, Gihren Zabi, oldest of the Zabi children, speaks to his father. He demands that they take action, and that Garma's death not be in vain. Before Degwin can respond, Dozle comes in with Kycilia, the third child and the older sister Garma always spoke of. Dozle mentions that he thinks Garma will come through that door any second, but Gihren tells him that dwelling on the past won't win them any battles, still sticking to his plan for revenge. Degwin, however, tells Gihren they should pray in a quiet respectful manner that befits their grief. On Earth, it seems Icelina has made it to the Zeon base. Icelina asks the soldier showing her around, Lieutenant Derova, to be taken on a Gaw to the enemy.

Everyone is working on White Base, when three Gaws approach. Gundam and Guncannon are sent out, and they manage to jump on one Gaw, firing on the ship. The second Gaw, trying to shoot them off, blows a hole in the first one. Amuro and Ryu jump to the second one as the first one crashes in a spectacular explosion. Char arrives in a Luggun to help things out, and thinks to himself that, whether they think his act revenge for Garma or loyalty to Dozle, he'll end up looking good.

White Base gets a transmission from the Federation forces, telling them they can't be resupplied just yet. Things get worse when Char comes along and fires a missile at one of the engines, causing them to begin to lose altitude. They crash land in the desert, amidst a large sandstorm. The Luggun lands nearby, and Char gets out, leaving Dren behind. Ryu and Amuro come down off the Gaw, but Icelina demands they be destroyed. White Base is fine, but the evacuees are trying to get off. The crew goes down to stop them, but three have already begun walking off into the desert. They say they'll be fine, as Zeon is only after White Base, but they don't get far before Char picked them off with his pistol. Bright, Hayato, and Kai run out, and they trade shots, but Char runs back to the Luggun and flies off.

On a balcony in Zum City, the Zabi family is speaking about Garma's death. Degwin wants to mourn Garma in peace, but Gihren argues that they are at war, and there is no time. Dozle says they should punish Char, who was responsible for watching over Garma, and Degwin tells Dozle to relegate him somewhere else.

Back on Eath, Char begins firing on White Base, while Amuro attacks the second Gaw. The third, which holds Icelina, begins focusing all fire on him. His shield begins melting, but he is save by a few shots to the third Gaw from Hayato in the Guntank. Amuro cuts the second in half and jumps down as it explodes. Derova is injured from the explosion and can't steer, but Icelina, determined to have revenge, takes the wheel. Everyone begins firing on them as they steer towards them. The Gaw crashes into Amuro, knocking him back and disabling Gundam. Icelina comes to on the bridge of the Gaw, finding Derova dead, and sees Amuro getting out of Gundam. She takes Derova's gun, and points it at him from the top of the Gaw, shouting that she'll get her revenge. Before she can fire, she loses her footing and falls from the incredibly tall Gaw to her death.

The evacuees are let off and rescued by Federation forces. Nearby, Amuro, Hayato, Ryu, and Kai bury Icelina. Amuro wonders who she was, as well as why she wanted revenge.
