The Ambush of M’Quve

In the midst of the One Year War, the White Base crew finds themselves entangled in a precarious situation. Episode 22: The Trap of M’Quve unfolds as Amuro Ray and his comrades face off against the cunning M’Quve, a mastermind within the Zeon forces.

A Desperate Defense

As the battle rages on, Amuro takes on a Gouf in his trusty Gundam, while Bright Noa struggles to maintain his composure on the bridge. The Guntank is deployed to aid in the fight, but Bright’s hesitation raises concerns among the crew. Meanwhile, Mirai Kawashima takes the reins, attempting to fill the leadership void left by Bright’s temporary absence.

A Web of Deception

M’Quve, operating as a double agent within the Earth Federation, receives a report from Uragang regarding the destruction of two mines. He decides to take matters into his own hands, ordering Judoch to stall the Federation’s advance. As the White Base crew navigates this treacherous landscape, they begin to realize that M’Quve’s true intentions are far more sinister than initially thought.

A Crisis of Command

With Bright incapacitated, Mirai finds herself overwhelmed by the pressure of making quick decisions that impact the entire crew. As the situation spirals out of control, she turns to Sayla Mass for guidance. Meanwhile, Amuro and Hayato are sent out on Core Fighters to confront an incoming fleet of Dopps.

A Mid-Air Gamble

As the battle intensifies, Mirai orders Amuro to launch in the Guncannon, but realizes her mistake and sends out the Gundam instead. Amuro must perform a daring mid-air conversion, while Hayato returns to the White Base to convert to Guncannon.

A Deadly Trap

M’Quve’s plan comes to fruition as Amuro and Hayato are ambushed by a group of Goufs. With their ammo depleted, they retreat to the White Base for resupply. Mirai, still reeling from her earlier mistakes, relies heavily on Sayla’s counsel as the battle rages on.

A Cry for Help

In a last-ditch effort, Mirai orders Sayla to send a coded message to General Revil for support. As the White Base teeters on the brink of disaster, the crew must band together to overcome the treacherous trap set by M’Quve.
