What Stands in the Way

PHASE-41

At the Alliance’s Ptolemaeus lunar base, Archangel-class 2nd battleship Dominion flies in orbit and performs a combat simulation. In the captain’s seat, sits Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel. The Dominion boards Raider Gundam, Forbidden Gundam, and Calamity Gundam, as well as Azrael on board as an observer, and the ship heads for the L4 colony cluster to destroy the Archangel. Natarle cannot hide her shock at the reality that she must pull a gun on her former comrades.
In the meantime, the Archangel, Kusanagi, and Eternal arrive and dock inside the abandoned colony Mendel and a strategy meeting is held between the three ships. Athrun does not show up and Cagalli gets worried. She finds him by himself deep in thought. “I can’t do anything…I didn’t know…,” says Athrun. Cagalli tries to comfort him and Athrun suddenly hugs her. A confusing but peaceful time flows between Athrun and Cagalli.
Finally, Natarle spots the Archangel inside Mendel and the Dominion fires first. The battle between former comrades has begun.
