Episode Title:
Stained Wings.
Episode Description:
The Mobile Armor Hashmal awakens from its 300-year slumber and lays waste to Iok's Mobile Suit platoon. Tekkadan and McGillis retreat from the mining plant, while Iok is forced by his comrades to fall back as well. McGillis reveals that the Hashmal destroyed the nearby fuel depot and Gjallarhorn's third ground base to resupply, as the Plumas that accompany the Mobile Armor are not equipped with Ahab Reactors, warning that the Hashmal spawns multiple Plumas to refuel and repair it. They must act fast to trap and destroy the Mobile Armor, as it will set a course for Chryse and wipe out the city's population. Despite warnings from Mikazuki and Hush of the Hashmal's arrival, Kudelia and Atra refuse to evacuate. As Tekkadan prepare to corner the Hashmal in a gorge, it changes its course toward the public agricultural plant after being fired upon by Iok. Akihiro's unit scrambles to defend the plant, but the Hashmal wipes out a portion of the plant with its beam cannon. Mikazuki arrives in the Barbatos Lupus to save Ride from the Pluma swarm before setting his sights on the Mobile Armor. Meanwhile, Julieta finds and rescues Iok while McGillis and Isurugi are confronted by the Gundam Vidar.
