4

Zero's presence fails to reassure the commander, who now perceives the combination of the Captain and Zero as a significant threat rather than a minor nuisance. Consequently, the commander dispatches Zapper Zaku and Grappler Gouf to the Dark Axis base with orders to capture the Gundams. The mission to rescue the captured machines falls entirely on Shute, who must act quickly to retrieve them before they are lost to the enemy forces. This urgent operation highlights the escalating danger posed by the new alliance and the critical role Shute plays in countering the Dark Axis's strategic moves.
