Judau Ashta flies through a pile of space debris in a mini mobile suit looking for parts to salvage. He comes across a fully intact escape pod and takes it back to Side 1 with him. There he meets up with his friends Lino Abbav, Elle Vianno, Beecha Oleg and Mondo Agake. They figure that they could get a good deal from the escape pod but when Judau decides to open it Yazan (who should be dead after Camille's fiery beam saber attack) jumps outs and takes Beecha hostage. Yazan asks for clothes so Judau goes and gets some from his house. His sister Leina questions him but he leaves to return to the others.

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.

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.
