Defeating Reich Anto, Garrod comes face to face with the Gundam Leopard and the Gundam Airmaster from the Freeden, and barely escapes the two professional pilots. As Garrod Ran and Tiffa Adill rest, information brokers spread out and sell information on the battle they had just seen and the appearance of the Gundam X. The pilots of different Vulture groups all track down and locate the Gundam X as Garrod and Tiffa try to make camp in the forest, only to force a battle between the young pilot and an army of mobile suits. As the Gundam X starts to falter due to the vast amounts of mobile suits attacking it, Garrod swears not to let Tiffa die, his words causing Tiffa to use her Newtype powers. Registering the Gundam with a lunar base, the main weapon activates on the Gundam X and Garrod takes aim as the captain of the Freeden tries to make contact with Tiffa to warn her not to let the weapon be fired.
