After narrowly escaping the Zeon forces that have invaded Earth, the crew of the White Base find a temporary refuge in the neutral colony of Luna II. However, their respite is short-lived as the Zeon forces discovers their location and launches an attack on the colony.

In this action-packed episode, the crew of the White Base must work together to defend Luna II and evacuate its citizens before it's too late. Led by Amuro Ray, our protagonist, the crew of the White Base implements a daring plan to evacuate the colony by using their Gundam mobile suits to clear a path for the evacuation ships.

As they make their way through Luna II's tunnels and out into open space, they discover that the Zeon forces have deployed an enormous space battleship, dubbed the Gwazine, to intercept them. In a tense battle that spans the entire episode, Amuro, piloting the Gundam, engages the Gwazine in a one-on-one fight to the death.

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew must contend with a barrage of enemy fire as they escort the evacuee ships to safety. Ryu Jose, the White Base's pilot, sacrifices himself to destroy a Zeon gun battery that threatens their escape, cementing him as a beloved hero within the show's universe.

Despite the overwhelming odds, the White Base manages to evacuate Luna II and escape into space. However, not everyone makes it out unscathed, as the crew mourns the loss of Ryu.
