As planned, Celestial Being begins their armed intervention in the Taklamakan Desert against a combined force of nearly a thousand mobile suits from the Union, AEU, and HRL. Immediately upon involving themselves, the four Gundam Meisters are attacked and faces a ruthless bombardment from the allied forces for more than fifteen hours with no food and water. Exhausted and pushed to the limit, the Meisters find themselves pitted against ace pilots sent from the allied forces, with the intent of capturing them. One by one, the Gundams are defeated and captured until only Setsuna remains. Just as he is about to be killed by Ali Al-Saachez, a mysterious mobile suit, emitting red wing-like GN particles, appears and drives the enemy away.
