>Pampa: What...the hell is with that pilot?!

Surrounded by over ten downed Gaza-C's, the Zeta Gundam's head turns to face Pampa's damaged Gaza-D.

>Pampa: Damn it all...! I will avenge this loss next time, even if it cost me my life...!

As Pampa retreats, the Zeta Gundam's frame shivers as its Biosensor involuntarily activates.

>Judau: (My body...is acting on its own-)
>Sarah: (You truly are one of us. When you fully awaken, I will be ready to take you on as my servant. Until then, become stronger. Spread your gift until others are like us...until we have all become Newtypes!)
>Judau: (N-Newtypes...?)

Meanwhile, Roux pants as the stress of piloting the ZZ takes its toll on her. Rakan's Zaku III, now missing its arm, aims its beam rifle for Roux.

>Rakan: Pilot, I want you to know something. Your the first bit of entertainment I have had since I returned to the Earth sphere. For that, I will give you a more meaningful death at my hands.
>Roux: Aw, isn't that sweet-
>Rakan: Is that a woman? Tch...I was wrong. The Federation really is pathetic if they are using your kind in battle now. Still, you must have talent. If you give in now, you could make for an acceptable Officers wife.
>Roux: Thanks for the offer, but I have to jet. Ciao~!

Boosting away from Rakan in the ZZ's transformed state, Rakan scowls at having been troubled by a woman.

>Roux: Argama, can you read me? This is Roux Louka of the La Vie en Rose! Redirect your course and follow my signal!

On the bridge of the Argama, Bright finally forces open the door, causing Mashymre to panic as he grabs hold of Torres as a hostage.

>Mashymre: Tch...! Kamille brother must have finally snuck into the Zeta...!
>Emma: Let him go!
>Mashymre: AEUG...can't you see that you are standing in the way of the world being saved?! Lord Dozle will-
>Kamille?: (Marsh-Mellow, what are you doing?)

Realizing that he had debased himself to using a non-combatant as a hostage, Mashymre pushes Torres to Emma.
