Olba decides to let the fate of the GDX depend on a round of Indian Poker. Lieutenant Demar wins (or loses) and will take a new MS to destroy the GDX. He insists, however, that it be painted white. The Freiden are honored by the people of Estardo, who are rejoicing to the end of the Federation air strikes. However, the monarchy and the military of Estardo differ one whether or not to continue the war or to leave it as it stands. Roby leaves the room and is then asked to convince the Prince to not continue the war. The Prince and Garoad start talking. General Lee offers resources and supplies to upgrade Airmaster. The Prince says he is jealous of Garoad, since he has a true home on the Freiden and people to trust. The two then shake and intend to talk later. Tifa and Tonia have a heart to heart, each of them saying they miss their respective loved ones. Operation S (Sacrifice) is changed so that the hatred between countries can be fueled. Witts’ upgrade is complete and superb, but Roby doesn’t think so. Northernbell is attacked, making its capital Berude a war zone. Lieutenant Demar will be sent out as a test to battle the Freiden team. Gastarl and Estardo are asked to help Northernbell, and so the Freiden is asked. Witts decides to launch with Airmaster Burst with Garoad and the GDX into battle. Olba leads Garoad away from the rest of the pack so that Demar can fight him one on one. Ashtaron fights Airmaster Burst while Demar is wiping the floor with Garoad. Garoad is trying to the change tactics, but it isn’t until Demar lets his guard down on the “final blow” to the GDX does Garoad get the chance to finish him off. Demar aims for the cockpit, but Garoad blocks with the rifle and the swiss-cheeses him with the chest vulcans. Unfortunately, the battle was still lost and the Federation won. Roby sits in a bar watching a beautiful woman playing the piano.
