Assault on Barge
Zechs wakes up in a bed on a ship, looking disorientated. It turns out that Howard and his group has found him and Tallgeese, and picked them up. Howard comments that he didn't think anyone but those kids could pilot that machine, and says he joined the movement a long time ago. When Zechs questions why Howard helps him, he replies that since Zechs left the OZ, it's his duty to help him. He also tells Zechs that Tallgeese was the prototype for the Gundams. Howard offers Zechs to go to space, as things will change a lot there soon.
The narration informs us that the colonies now fully cooperate with OZ, and a new era of peace has started. Some colony leaders are concerned, they don't have any defence, but the peace diplomat Lady Une tells them that the OZ will help them with that. As a messanger brings Lady Une news about "it" which has started now and that she should return to Barge, Lady Une (the nice kind) seems very confused. Once back on Barge, Lady Une is once again the ruthless OZ version of herself. The reports tells her that they have found a shuttle with a Gundam pilot, and Lady Une orders it to be captured. When her subordinate asks what to do with the pilot, Lady Une tells him to kill the pilot if he's too good looking, otherwise they could let him live. The poor subordinate doesn't understand the joke...
Scans reveal no traces of energy on the HLV carrying the Gundam, and the OZ forces prepare to board it. They don't think anyone is on it, and are surprised as they suddenly are attacked by the Gundam in the shuttle. Duo takes on the OZ forces, but as the resistance of the mobile dolls is too much for him to handle, his Gundam is crippled and eventually captured as the self-destruct mechanism doesn't work once he tries it.
News are broadcasted all over the colonies that one of the horrible Gundams have been captured, and its pilot as well. Trowa gets these news, and realise this could be a problem, but he decides to let Heero do something about it, as he's closer to that colony.
On another colony, Heero searches the databases for info on the real Heero Yuy, only to find every trace of his assassination has been removed. On a nearby TV, he sees Duo getting captured, and realises this is a disadvantage for them, that must be dealt with accordingly.
Heero infiltrates the OZ where Duo is captured by a creative cabbage attack. Elsewhere, Duo is being interrogated. As he's knocked unconscious by the OZ, Heero enters the building, gun ready to use... A while later, after Duo has been put in a cell, Heero arrives there after having disposed of the guards outside. He pulls his gun on Duo, and Duo merely comments that he'd rather be killed by Heero than used for propaganda purposes. As Heero hesitates, Duo asks him if he isn't going to be shot, and Heero tells him only if he really wants it, before tossing Duo the gun instead. They leave the cell, and Duo asks for Heero's plans with the rescue. Heero comments that he hadn't planned on being captured, but if that happened, two mouths would've been silenced... then he presses a detonator, and some bombs go off elsewhere.
As bombs shake the building, the OZ personell understands that it's not the Gundam they're after, but to free its pilot. Too late, the pilot has already escaped, and the commanding officer orders the mobile dolls to be used.
Elsewhere, Wufei and his Gundam have also been found, outside Barge, and a battle begins. OZ decide to use Barge's beam cannon, even if it means that their own forces will be destoyed as well. Wufei survives, and is appalled by his enemy's dirty methods. Lady Une ends up in the middle of the battle, and urges the warring parties to stop their meaningless battle. As Lady Une refuses to give the order to attack Gundam 05, Nicols does it himself. The Gundam, however, leaves in a hurry, and Nicols orders his men to not follow it. He's confused, which Lady Une should he follow?
Back at the prison, Heero tells Duo about the new mobile dolls while they try and make their way out of the building. Once the mobile dolls have locked its target on you, you cannot escpae. As Duo wonders how they're supposed to escape anyway then, Heero comments that he hasn't thought about that yet... In a mobile suits hangar, Heero dispatches a Leo, and the mobile dolls pick it up as a renegade enemy, and targets all other inert Leos as targets as well, attacking friendly forces indiscriminetely. Then it receives a new target as Heero in an astro suit shows up on screen. The mobile dolls now attack all other astro suits they can find, including the commaning OZ forces... Duo and Heero escape unharmed. Duo wants to go back for his Gundam, but Heero tells him it's pointless as the scientists have been captured as well now, and are next on his hitlist.
On earth, Zechs takes off into space with Tallgeese.
