Summary: The fighting continues, with Saito ejecting from his M1 Astray, and Rei's Akatsuki pushed to the limit.

When the Hyakushiki appears, it and the Jagd Doga duel for several minutes before the pilot of the Jagd Doga, who reveals himself as Duo Maxwell, announces over a wide-scale frequency not only his identity, but the existence of Neo Zeon. The pilot of the Hyakushiki responds by announcing himself as Char Aznable, the Red Comet of Zeon.

These announcements are heard by all forces, ORB, Neo Zeon, and AEUG alike. As a result, massive rebellion stirs up in the AUEG between those who wish for the Principality's return, and those who do not. It is revealed that more than approximately 70% of the forces in the AEUG are, in fact, ex-Zeons. The pro-Neo Zeon group still on the AUEG submarine attempts a coup and moves to take over the bridge, with Ryouba, Oleg and other main officers still inside.

Meanwhile, chaos erupts outside, with the AUEG units attacking one another, killing friend and foe alike.

Given clearance, Char (who has agreed to join with Duo for the time being), Apolly, Roberto, and Duo move to land at ORB HQ. Before she accompanies them, Rei picks up Saito, and then follows suit. Meanwhile, James A. Lanster's UNS force moves towards Onogoro Island (where ORB HQ is located and the chaotic AUEG forces are still fighting) from Earth's orbit.
