>Judau:...I can hear them crying for us. Its faint, but I can't tolerate it any longer.
>Mezun: If your done blithering, then face me like a real man would-

Pouring his mind into the ZZ's Biosensor, a whip of energy slams against Mezun's machine, flaying a hole through the colony as his Zeta Plus is cast into the darkness of space.

>Asherah: Judau, be careful! You'll lose yourself acting like that!
>Asherah: I had to settle that quickly. Sorry to scare you and Leina~! Now...

Amongst the destruction at Macedonia, a little girl whimpers silently under debris created from the engagement between the refugee's and Side 3's response fleet.

>Lalah?: Shhh...all of this will be over soon. Soon, even you will be in a place with your pain will cease-

Sensing the ZZ's approach, Lalah's spirit drifts away, with her fearful of being drawn into Judau and Asherah's influence. Landing atop the tattered structure trapping the child, Judau's ZZ pulls the collapsed foundation away, his Mobile Suits hand reaching down to gently grasp the crying child.

>Judau: Hey now, your going to be ok.

Opening his cockpit, Judau gently lowers the child next to him, allowing him to pull the little girl into a hug.

>Judau: Everything is going to be fine. My name is Judau, and my pal here is the ZZ. You want to introduce yourself to us?
>Gigi:...Gigi.

Refusing to leave Mezun behind, Kenneth returns in a disguised Mobile Suit to recover the Zeta Plus's wreckage.

>Mezun:...These Newtypes are becoming more bullshit by the day.
>Kenneth: You can tell the others about it once we have gotten out of here. Our chance to turn this around has come.

Returning with Gigi in his arms, Judau finds Asherah pouting from his overly affectionate display.

>Asherah: Hmph...everyone is going to think your some kind of pervert if they see you acting like that.
>Judau: And? When have we cared what the normals think? Hey Gigi, you want to make a new friend?
