McGillis takes down several Arbrau Mobile Suit units for his team to cut through Arbrau's defense line before engaging with Galan, Takaki, and Aston. Upon being asked if what they are doing is on Orga's orders, Takaki hesitates but then recklessly attacks McGillis, only to get outmatched by the Graze Ritter. Aston sacrifices himself to save Takaki and trap McGillis before Mikazuki arrives and intervenes in the melee, forcing Galan and his troops to retreat. With Tekkadan's arrival, a ceasefire is declared while the situation is assessed. Later, Eugene and Akihiro corner Radiche, demanding Galan's whereabouts. As Tekkadan surrounds Galan's hideout, Hush panics on his first Mobile Suit sortie while Akihiro pins down Galan in battle. Rather than to surrender to Tekkadan, Galan self-destructs his Geirail, taking all evidence of his actions with him. Tekkadan further interrogates Radice, who attempts to talk his way out until Takaki asks to deal with him personally with Mikazuki's gun.
