The village holds an Earth/Moonrace celebration which includes a float of the Turn A Gundam. Corin sees it and attacks it. Harry arrives. They trick Corin into thinking he defeated the real Turn A Gundam, and he leaves.

Kihel (Dianna) and Loran convince Harry to do some farming so as to experience what is like to be on Earth. The two later leave together.

The Militia and Dianna Counter react to the nuclear explosion. Phil orders Poe to acquire the remaining nuclear bombs. Poe demands Ralfa hand over the 2 nuclear bombs he possesses causing him to flee to the Turn A Gundam and Gallop to ask for help. Ralfa gives the bombs to Loran, who places them in the Turn A Gundam's chest, with the goal to bury them or throw them in the ocean. Dianna and Phil argue over what to do. Ralfa brings Sochie and Miashei to the Soleil causing a battle during which he dies. Phil holds Dianna at gun point and Kihel escapes with Harry, trying to trick him into thinking she's Dianna.

Loran and the others encounter her and Quoatl, king of Adeska who says their people saw a vision of a nucelar blast. He agrees to help Loran after they fight and tells them of their legend of the Ades branch. Guin plans to fire the Willghem's mega beam cannon if Loran and the Suicide Squad can't take Manupichi by morning. Another Adeskan named Taruka confronts them, and everyone is thrown in a dungeon.

Joseph meets up with Mayalito who doesn't believe Quoatl to be a cowardly king. The Adeskans demand Quoatl pick up a sword and fight Taruka, but he refuses. Joseph arrives and provides a distraction, and Quoatl finally fights Taruka. Quoatl had refused earlier challenges because Taruka wasn't ready to become king.
