The Triumvirate of Terror: Black Tri-Star Unleashed
In the midst of the ongoing conflict, a new threat emerges in the form of the Black Tri-Stars, an elite squad of mobile suit pilots sent to reinforce M’Quve’s forces on Earth. Kycilia Zabi, determined to crush the White Base, dispatches these formidable warriors to take down the Federation’s prized mobile suit, the Gundam.
A Change in Command
As the Black Tri-Stars descend upon Earth, General Revil accelerates Operation Odessa, aware that the Tri-Stars’ arrival could spell disaster for the Federation. Meanwhile, Amuro Ray is tasked with escorting Lt. Matilda to the bridge, where they encounter Kai, who is smitten with Matilda’s charms.
The Hunt Begins
Under the cover of night, the Black Tri-Stars, piloting their darkly-colored Doms, launch a stealthy attack on White Base. The Federation’s sensors detect the enemy’s presence, and the crew prepares to counterattack. Sayla Mass, with her experience piloting the Gundam, takes the helm of the G-Armor, while Fraw Bow assumes communication duties on the bridge.
A Desperate Defense
As the battle rages on, Amuro and Sayla struggle to land hits on the elusive Doms. Matilda, determined to defend White Base, sorties in her Medea, but her efforts are cut short when the Doms breach the ship’s defenses. In the chaos, Amuro undocks the Gundam from the G-Armor, separating the units to increase their chances of survival.
A Hero Falls
In the heat of the battle, Matilda’s Medea is destroyed, claiming her life and those of her crew. Amuro, grief-stricken, vows to avenge her death. With the Black Tri-Stars momentarily stunned, Amuro seizes the opportunity to strike back, taking down one of the Doms and paving the way for White Base’s escape.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the battle, General Revil announces the commencement of Operation Odessa, while White Base holds a memorial service to honor the fallen heroes, including Matilda. Amuro, still reeling from the loss, remembers the kiss Matilda blew him before her final sortie, and his grief echoes through the silence.
