Pressing on with her plan for rule through terror, Haman makes the decision to drop a colony. Receiving a message from Hayato aboard the Audhumla, the Argama joins with the Karaba and heads to Dublin to begin an evacuation. However, the Karaba rescue of the evacuees is interrupted when they're attacked by a mobile suit unit led by Rakan Dahkaran.

Eager for a victory, Glemy awakens Ple Two from cold sleep in order to destroy the Argama. Sensing the evil presence of the Psyco Gundam Mk-II drawing near, Ple boards the half-disassembled Qubeley Mk-II to intercept it. However, she finds that both she and the mysterious pilot are able to anticipate each other's attacks perfectly...

Hoping that a one-on-one battle with Haman will end the conflict, Judau launches in the Double Zeta. Haman too flies out to meet him alone in her white Qubeley. In the face of the Qubeley's furious assault, Judau's back is pushed to the wall. But protected by the wills of many people, he rises to face Haman.

Glemy plays his trump card and sends his Newtype unit into battle. He then makes to smash Axis's asteroid Moussa into Haman's fleet. Judau chases the now mentally unstable Ple Two into Axis and confronts both Glemy and Ple Two in the Queen Mansa.

Launching in the Double Zeta, Ple manages to drive off the enemy from the Argama, but now the federal forces are demanding that they disarm. When they hear from Fa that Kamille has disappeared, the Argama's crew divide up to help her search for him. While this is happening, Ple sorties alone in the Mk-II and finds herself in a tight spot. But then she hears someone's voice...

Using the revolt against Haman to take control of Axis, Glemy battles Chara's fleet. Judau and Roux use the chance to sneak into Core 3 in order to kidnap Mineva, but fail. As the Nahel Argama appears to be supporting Haman's side, Ple Two approaches in the new mobile armor Queen Mansa.

The final battle begins between Haman's forces with Mashymre and Glemy's. The Nahel Argama, taking this chance to first strike at Glemy, launches the Gundam team. Amidst the free-for-all, Mashymre in a Zaku III Custom loses control of his overenhanced mental powers and is lost to the stars.

The Neo Zeon occupiers in Dakar invite people from the Earth Federation to a grand party they're throwing. Among them is Leina, brought there by Glemy. Taking advantage of the Gundam team's attack, Judau sneaks into the reception hall and finally gets his heart's desire when he's reunited with Leina. But...

Ple spots Judau's crashed core fighter, which is carrying an injured Leina. Judau leaves Leina with Ple and flies back out into the battlefield in order to save his friends. But Ple wants Judau to love her and her alone, and hates Leina with a passion. One that's strong enough to kill.

At last, the Neo Zeon forces descend to Dakar, where the federation parliament is located, in order to seize control. The Argama sets out to attack the Sadalahn and stop its descent, but Glemy leads the Sandra forces and returns fire. Amidst the battle, the brainwashed Elpeo Ple attacks in the Qubeley Mk-II.

The Gundam team is attacked by August's mobile suit Dreissen unit at Chott Melrhir near the rendezvous point. Judau manages to repel the attack, but Beecha can't hide his jealousy. When August attacks them again, Beecha gets the jump on Judau and takes the Double Zeta out first. However...

Torres agonizes over the knowledge that his old friend Cecilia is a spy for Gottn. Amidst the confusion of Chara's escape, Cecilia escapes on her own and goes to Gottn. Giving him phony information, she gets a ticket for an emigration ship. But the trunk supposedly containing her payment has a bomb set inside...

Searching for Roux, Judau and the others enter Galdaaya, where they run into Glemy, whom is now leading Blue Unit. Just then, August, who is commanding the Mindra, strikes a deal with Gadeb Jasin of the African Independence Front to attack and seize Galdaaya.

The Argama rendezvouses with the Gundam team and sets course for Dublin. Bright heads off on his own for an interview with a federation high official at the Beech estate, but is followed by Judau. When Judau becomes violently angry with the official's lackadaisical response to the situation, he and Bright end up confined in the basement. They're saved from their predicament by Fa.

With the Neo Zeon forces now in control of Dakar, Judau slips away from the Argama after it makes a water landing in the south seas, and meets Taman and his sister Anu. Taman takes a large sum of money from the Neo Zeon in exchange for attacking the Argama with the aquatic mobile suit Capule. Anu worries about what her brother is about to do.

While the Argama holds position to cooperate with Karaba, the Gundam team receives orders to go on ahead to Dakar. As the team heads for a desert base, they find themselves under attack by the Rommel unit, who have been biding their time for eight years awaiting the restoration of the Zabi family. One by one, the Gundam team crushes the Rommel unit's old mobile suits...

In shock over not knowing whether his little sister is alive or dead, Judau falls into a depression. Worried to see Judau in such a state, Roux takes it upon herself to administer some tough love. Just then, the Karaba base at El Goléa is attacked. Beecha and Mondo move to assist it, but misunderstanding Roux's motives, use her as a shield.

Now so angry with the Argama that she's deserted, Roux enters the free-trade city of Galdaaya, where an artist named June proceeds to hit on her. Meanwhile, while wandering the desert, Glemy is rescued by the "Blue Unit" of the African Independence Front, who coerce him into being a spy sent to Galdaaya's underground city. There he meets Roux.

The attack on Earth by Haman Karn's Neo Zeon fleet is now in full swing. To rescue Leina, Judau attaches bombs to the Double Zeta and then launches into battle on his own. Alone, Judau pursues the battleship Sadalahn. Haman, sensing his Newtype potential, invites him aboard.

Hoping to end their water shortage, Judau flies out in a core fighter and ends up being helped by a woman named Masai. In accordance with desert law, she tells Judau where an oasis village is located. However, Masai attacks the Gundam team with a red Gelgoog in order to force the villagers to acknowledge her and her now-dead lover Tag.

The Neo Zeon forces move in to put down the Cicero uprising. Ple Two moves out, having received orders from Glemy to assassinate Haman Karn. However, she lets the captive Lucina escape. A change has come over her personality. Judau rescues Elle and the others from Haman's mansion, then confronts Ple Two in the Qubeley Mk-II.

Pretending to surrender with the Double Zeta as an offering, Judau once again goes to Axis. But Glemy, thinking that Judau and Roux are in a relationship, has Judau imprisoned. Judau tricks Ple into letting him go, but the angry Elpeo Ple takes Leina back and then flies off in pursuit in the Qubeley Mk-II.

Judau and the others infiltrate the docked mining asteroid Cicero in Core 3 sector. There they find Chara Soon commanding the workers. Although they join in a nascent revolt, the workers still don't entirely trust Judau. At the same time, Ple Two enters Cicero as well.

Hoping to rescue Leina, Judau hides in a dummy meteor and infiltrates Axis. There, he meets a young girl calling herself Elpeo Ple. Meanwhile, having given Glemy the slip, Leina meets up with Beecha and Mondo, who have managed to get away from Gottn. Together, they try to escape from Axis.

Leaving the Argama on Earth, the crew returns to space in a shuttle to find the La Vie en Rose waiting with the new battleship Nahel Argama. But Judau and the others refuse when the kids are ordered off the ship. At that moment, they fall under surprise attack by Illia Pazom, a female soldier who has pledged her life to Mashymre.
