With modifications from yours truly.

The war between Tekkadan/McGillis' faction and the Arianrhod fleet has begun, with Julieta engaging in a fierce battle with Mikazuki while Rustal instigates a false flag maneuver by using a hijacked revolutionary fleet Graze and firing a Dainsleif toward his own fleet to justify a massive counterattack with railguns.

The majority of the revolutionaries' fleet is destroyed or crippled. Meanwhile, the Hotarubi is severely damaged and Shino is injured by the Dainsleif squadron's second barrage. Orga ponders retreating, but his men convince him to see this battle to the end, and he orders the Isaribi to charge through Arianrhod's main fleet.

As McGilis rallies his troops, Gaelio attacks him with the Gundam Kimaris Vidar. The Hotarubi is used as a shield for the Isaribi to bring Shino to fire the Super Galaxy Cannon. Unfortunately, Julietta barely manages to throw off his aim. Consequentially, he narrowly misses the bridge of Rustal's ship before his mobile suit is pulverized from return fire while doing a kamikaze run toward the enemy fleet.

NOTE: Heart breaker! We lose Shino!
