But before Cos's father could arrive,
Glemy had already taken the lead, recklessly activating some of the thruster engines on the asteroid base Axis and slowly pushing it toward Earth.
Cos's father could only turn back midway and join the Earth Federation Army's operational response meeting.

Thor and the others had no choice but to leave the Side 6 Colony Satellite early, bringing along the clingy Cos.

He had each of them pilot a purple enhanced [Mass Production Type Qubeley] equipped with a "Psychoframe System," and conduct simulated training aboard the warship with Cos's red [MSN-03 Chad Doga] to develop her piloting skills.
This also earned Cos the nickname Thirteenth Sister.

Before the [Ra Cailum Class] arrived near Axis, they encountered an interception by Neo Zeon's forces.
Amuro immediately and decisively piloted the [Gundam Unicorn] to lead an attack, attempting to break through the enemy's interception
