The Destroy Gundam advances towards Berlin, crushing one city after another. The Archangel arrives to confront the Destroy, but even Kira’s Freedom Gundam is no match for its overwhelming power. As the Minerva reaches the scene, Shinn joins the battle in his Impulse Gundam, but he hesitates in his attack when he learns that Stella is the pilot of this monstrous Gundam. In the middle of battle, Neo’s mobile suit is shot down, sending Stella into a frenzy. Shinn continues calling out to Stella, trying to calm her down, but the sight of the Freedom sends her into a renewed panic. At last Kira acts to end the fighting, with fatal consequences.
