The Messenger From Axis

Won Lee leads Bright, Quattro, Reccoa and Camille from Ahgama to the Axis flagship Gwadan. Camille and Quattro register a powerful Newtype presence as they near the ship. The AEUGO delegation is met by Haman Khan and two guards in Zion uniforms and conducted to an audience chamber decorated with Zion imperial emblems. A little girl occupies the throne: Minerva Zabi, last of the dynasty that ruled Zion during the One Year War. She recognizes Quattro as her father's friend, Char Aznable, exposing his identity. She dreams of restoring the Zion Empire under the Zabi rule. Quattro tells her this isn't possible, that Haman has been deceiving her with false hopes. Haman has the entire delegation arrested and put in the brig. Won Lee's fury over Quattro's deception prompts Quattro to stage a fight with Camille to distract the guard. The party escapes, but Quattro goes off on his own to find Haman. Bright sends Camille and Reccoa after him. Minerva is upset by Quattro's accusations, which Haman counters by denouncing Quattro as a traitor. Camille and Reccoa intervene and a gunfight ensues. Reccoa takes a shot meant for Quattro. The three AEUGO delegates manage to escape in Zion spacesuits, rescue the others from the brig and get them safely to their shuttle in the launch bay. The bridge crew of the Ahgama, unsure of what has happened, launches inflatable facsimile asteroids to confuse the Gwadan's radar and hide both the escaping shuttle and the Ahgama itself. Camille in Z-Gundam, Reccoa in the Methuss and Quattro in the Type-100 launch to cover the Ahgama's escape, just as Yazan attacks with a full squadron of Hambrabis. Z-Gundam is caught by a triad of Hambrabis using electrified snare lines, but is rescued by Reccoa. Reccoa is then distracted by a Newtype flash of Scirocco and almost gets killed by Yazan. She is saved by a squad of Nemos led by Emma in the Mark-II and Katsu in the G-Defenser. Badly damaged, they all return to the Ahgama. Aboard the Gwadan, Scirocco swears allegiance to Minerva and the Zabi dynasty. Fa and Camille have a happy reunion aboard Ahgama while Quattro broods over Haman.
