Just as Ennil is about to shoot Garrod, explosions shake the city. The fierce battle between the Gundam Ashtaron and the Gundams Leopard and Airmaster has shifted to borders of the fort's walls. Tiffa tackles Garrod and an explosion destroys the wall that was behind her. With Carris blown to the other side of the room, Garrod prepares to leap out of the window with Tiffa. Before doing so, he invites Carris to follow them. But the artificial newtype just stares at him in the confusion of wondering who he should trust by then. Garrod and Tiffa leap out of the 3 story window and fall into the snow. Ennil runs to the window to shoot the two as they run down the streets, but another explosion on the side of the building throws her to the floor.
