Fighting against her own personal feelings, Emma chooses to remain focused on leading the Nahel Argama under her Command to mitigate as many losses as she can. While Elpeo charges after her more spiteful clone, Bernard chooses to betray his own practicality in hopes of Fa's seemingly insane request approach the heart of Axis having a true purpose to it.

>Bernard: Anyone who wants to rejoin Kowen's main battle group, you have my permission to do so! Any other volunteers that still wish to follow under me-
>Nero pilot: We heard the stories of how you fought trying to defend the Earth. We'll fight alongside you until the end, Commander Wiseman.
>Fa: Commander...

Seeing his control panel flashing a quick red, Bernard checks his systems to make sure there are no technical errors.

>Bernard: "ALICE"? Why is it identifying itself now?

[Bernard, Fa and another squad of Nero's are now on route to Axis's center]

Meanwhile, Judau and Asherah destroy the last of Neo Zeon's Big Zams, leaving only scattered enemy fleets and the elites of Mashymre's forces at Axis's center.

>Judau:...Can you feel it as well, Asherah?
>Roux: You both, we should pull back to get some supplies!
>Asherah:...You go ahead, miss Louka. The real cause of all this fighting...is there!

Leaving Roux's Zeta II, Judau and Asherah boost towards Axis, both of them feeling their minds being drawn towards Mashymre.
