At the same time, a mobile suit assault force led by Kycila captures the moon cities of Granada and Von Braun. At Side 7, Amuro and Hayato Kobayashi are dragged by Kai Shiden and his gang into trespassing in the colony's development sector, only to be arrested and beaten up by Federation guards before they discover Amuro's identity as the son of Tem Ray.
