Line 25:
Mu and Kira launch as the ''Archangel'' readies its weapons. Mu attacks Dearka, while Yzak distracts Kira, and Nichol heads for the ''Archangel''. The Blitz tries to use its mirage colloid stealth system, but the ''Archangel'' switches to anti-air shrapnel warhead missiles and calculates the Blitz's approximate position from its incoming fire. Nichol is forced to abandon stealth, since the Blitz is unable to use mirage colloid and phase shift at the same time.
 
While Kira and Mu continue to fight Yzak and Dearka, the ''Gamow'' fires at the ''Archangel''. While some shots are dissipated by the ''Archangel''{{'}}s anti-beam depth charges, it's hit several times. Though its laminated armor system protects it, the armor can't shed heat fast enough to keep up with the bombardment. The Blitz avoids the ''Archangel''{{'}}s [[Point Defenseless|defensive fire]] and lands on the ship itself, firing point blank into the hull. None of the ship's weapons can hit it that close to the ship, so Miri calls Kira for backup. Hearing Miri's call for help, Kira thinks of Flay promising the little girl that he would protect all of them. We see an image of a purple seed floating against a background of multicolored light, before the seed itself explodes in a burst of light. Kira, his eyes [[Power Makeover|now drawn distinctively]] in a "flat" style without their normal "light" ,<ref> Similar to [[Mind Control Eyes]], but with the pupils still visible</ref>, says that he won't allow them to sink the ''Archangel''.
 
Yzak attacks, but Kira counters instantly, damaging the Duel with his beam saber before immediately heading for the Archangel. Yzak fires at the retreating Strike, but Kira dodges easily. Attacking the Blitz, Kira literally kicks it out of the way, knocking it away from the ''Archangel'' but losing his beam saber in the process. Yzak tries to counterattack, but Kira draws one of the Strike's combat knives and effortlessly stabs it into the Duel's already damaged armor. The Blitz pulls the Duel away as Nichol contacts Dearka, telling them they have to retreat. The Duel's cockpit is filled with smoke and blaring alarms, Yzak screaming that it hurts as he covers his face with one hand, blood visible inside his helmet's cracked visor.
Line 31:
Kira lands on the ''Archangel'', his eyes returned to normal as Mu congratulates him on his unbelievable performance. As the Earth Alliance's 8th Fleet arrives, Flay is still sitting alone on her bunk, saying to herself that Kira has to beat up all the bad guys, otherwise the war will never end.
