Setsuna returns to Earth in order to recruit Lyle Dylandy as the next Lockon Stratos and bring a reluctant Sumeragi Lee Noriega back into Celestial Being. As the three head for space, the location of the Ptolemaios 2 is leaked to A-Laws intelligence by Ribbons Almark and the ship is ambushed. The Seravee manages to hold them off long enough for Setsuna to start up the previously unstable 00 Gundam and he drives back the A-Laws task force, demonstrating the power of the new Twin Drive System. Back on the Ptolemaios 2, the crew welcome Sumeragi back, but all are shocked to see Lyle, the twin brother of the deceased Lockon Stratos.
