PHASE-17: CAGALLI RETURNS
As dawn breaks, the Archangel crew confer with the resistance fighters, who rescued them from Andy Waltfeld's attack. In
order to resume its journey to Alaska, the Archangel must make its way past Waltfeld's forces, and so the crew decide to join
forces with the resistance fighters against their common foe. Meanwhile, Kira renews his acquaintance with the young woman
he met at Heliopolis, who gives her name as Cagalli Yula.
While the Archangel crew prepare for the coming battle, Sai presses Flay to explain her recent behavior. Flay goes running
to Kira, who physically overpowers Sai with his Coordinator abilities. The argument is interrupted as Andy Waltfeld's forces
launch a retaliatory attack on the resistance fighters' home village.

PHASE-18: PAYBACK
Andy Waltfeld's forces launch a full-scale assault on the resistance fighters' home village of Tassil. After warning the
village's inhabitants to evacuate, the ZAFT mobile suits proceed to burn Tassil to the ground. The resistance fighters arrive
to find their home in flames, and their families huddled on its outskirts.
Though Waltfeld has spared the lives of Tassil's inhabitants, the resistance fighters vow to avenge this attack, and recklessly
set off in pursuit of the departing ZAFT forces. Kira goes to the rebels' aid, and finds himself engaged in mobile suit combat
with the dreaded Waltfeld himself.

PHASE-19: FANGS OF THE ENEMY
The Archangel crew and their resistance allies make a foray into Andy Waltfeld's stronghold, the ZAFT-controlled city of
Banadiya, in order to obtain weapons and supplies. Kira and Cagalli take the opportunity to do some shopping, only to run
into Waltfeld himself.
After escaping an attack by the anti-Coordinator group known as Blue Cosmos, Kira and Cagalli find themselves Waltfeld's
unwilling guests. Though the dreaded "Desert Tiger" has figured out that Kira is the Strike Gundam's pilot, he lets them go
to fight another day. Meanwhile, the distraught Sai tries to demonstrate that he too can pilot the Gundam, but proves unable
even to move it from the Archangel's hangar.
