Asuna survives the explosion of her Rick Dias mobile suit and is aided by Jack Baird and other AEUG pilots risking their lives to hold Erisia off and buy her time to get to Le Cygne. With Hansel (the original test pilot) getting into the cockpit with her, and Sophie providing verbal assistance, she manages to engage the enemy.
