Gundam 00I Chapter 01: Awakening
Takes place in episode 1 of Gundam 00 season 2. This story tells about a young man that awoke as an Innovade and gathered six other of them. This man has the same DNA base sequence as Ribbons Almark (Registration Number: 08368-SA846, Human Name: Leif Recitativo). Leif has the ability to seek out his comrades and distinguish human from Innovade. He does not know the reason why Veda chose to awake him. Leif meets with Dr. Telicyra (Telicyra Herfi, appears to be 40 years old) formerly part of “Doctors without borders” when he is awoken as an Innovade. Next, when Leif tries to meet with Flinch, an Innovade and Earth Federation MS pilot, Flinch is shot dead before Leif's eyes. When Leif goes to awaken yet another of his Innovade comrades, wherever he goes Innovade are shot dead before his eyes. And so the one killing the Innovade turns out to be an Innovade [himself]. The man with the artificial left eye is named Lars Grise. Lars, who killed the Innovade, sheds bitter tears from his left eye and cries out.

Gundam 00I Chapter 02: Hunter
The story starts 124 years ago on earth. Lars and his wife were viewing the news about the probe that left for Jupiter in a room. It is said that Lars’ friend is also in the Jupiter probe ship. Lars views the film with a complicated expression. His wife (She resembles Anew. The reason is stated later by the Doctor) says to him, “It’s alright. Don’t feel lonesome. You have me,” and tightly embraces him. “I promise. Our child, and I, will always be beside you. You are not alone.” At the adjoining room, their daughter who sleeps looks at the two. The reminiscing scene changed, and in the heavy rain, Lars is shouting. On his arms is the dead body of his wife with a knife thrust into her chest.

The flashback ended and it is back to AD2312. Leif looks at the images of the army, searching for his comrades [I believe this is in reference to the 6 he has to look for in his mission], but found no one. The purpose is that in case they are to fight an enemy mobile suit, they need to be sure that one of their own is capable of fighting. Through the Doctor’s treatment, fortunately the life of Bryn, who was shot by Lars, was saved. However, whether his ability to carry out his mission still remains even when his head was shot, is not yet known.

At about that time, Lars, who had a rifle, muttered in the forest, “A false person…” The scene goes back to Leif and the Doctor who are still in conversation. The two continued to talk about Innovades. The Doctor says that, “The Innovades are built very well.” If you look at the physiology of Innovades, there is nothing that is inferior to humans. They are made using human genes, and the humans who furnished the genes, from whom they are modelled, are important. Because the Innovades do not age, their life as a human in human society is also limited. It is up to 10 years before Veda orders them to “Return”. However, the Doctor stayed with society up to about 20 years. The Doctor says, “Perhaps because I became too famous as a doctor, that it was hard for Veda to tell me to ‘Return’.” Leif also talks. “It seems that for children like Bryn, ‘Return’ is also fast.” The Doctor retorts, “In the situation that a household contains a child, all members are Innovades.”

“It’s sad, isn’t it? The memory of the child who was made to return is deleted…” The Doctor objects to Leif who was sighing. “That depends on how you look at it. Certainly upon Veda’s command, our memories are deleted. It is the same as the death of the personality. However, the person is not biologically dead. Once more, upon the download of a new personality, they are restored to society as a different person.”

Leif cries, “That is also very sad! My previous memories – My family and friends, were all lies!”

After a moment of silence, the Doctor also replied again. “But the memories personally lived in this society are genuine. And the various encounters too. I want to value those things.” Leif frailly agrees.

A short time after that, Leif finished the army image validation work. But he didn’t find his comrades there. While Leif was working, the Doctor confirmed Lars’ true character by accessing Veda. He is “Lars Grise”. From year AD2185 up to the present time, he has been living with the human society for about 130 years. But his information upload to Veda has been cut off for several years, and as it is, his link is also suspended. However, Veda continues to follow Lars by an external surveillance. The behaviour he took is that of an “Innovade Hunter”. He continues to kill Innovades only for more than 100 years, and up to now has killed several hundreds of Innovades. Because of Veda’s intervention, he has never been caught as a mass murderer. Because among the victims there are many that have the same outward appearance, Veda deals with the data and falsifies it.

Leif replies that there are two possibilities to be considered from this information. Either Lars as an Innovade Hunter and is not related to the 6 comrades he is looking for, or he is related to it, and he hasn’t been successful in finding the 6 comrades because of what he has been doing for more than 100 years. Now, Leif and gang, regarding that mission. At that time, the Doctor’s cellphone rang. Bryn has disappeared from the sickroom. How can he do so, when he’s not supposed to be able to move on his own?

A young girl is in a gloomy room. Wearing a gothic style attire and sitting on a chair, the young girl (Sondheim) addresses the whole world using quantum brainwaves. “Anyone… Isn’t anyone here? Please answer.” There was a person who replied to her voice. “Who is it? The guy with the big voice is…” the Federation Army imprisoned “Hallelujah” replies. “Y-you can’t move can you? Just like me.” Allelujah (Hallelujah)’s imprisonment establishment is reflected.

Gundam 00I Chapter 03: Doctor
Gundam 00I, chapter 3 takes place in episode 3 of Gundam 00 season 2.The story starts with a flashback at AD2290, 20 years ago. In those days, Telicyra was with Moreno, performing medical treatments in various places. From Moreno, he received the teaching, “There is a heart inside a person. That’s why a person cannot cure someone who is not a person.” Two years after this, Moreno went missing.

Bryn’s parents, who are worried about where she is, visited Telicyra. Regarding their actions, Rave asked, “Is their worry of Bryn also programmed inside them? Or does it come from love?” At this question, Telicyra remembered the words of Moreno. “There is a heart inside you. I have one too. In that case, the other Innovades also have it.”

At about this time, Bryn who was in captivity called out to Hallelujah using quantum brainwaves. Hallelujah, who was talking to her in trying to kill time, in an instant broke off his quantum brainwaves. The doctor who created the Trinity siblings, Dr. Clay Lihichyte, extracted Bryn’s blood, “Help me!” Bryn’s quantum brainwaves resonated in Leif’s and Telicyra’s brains. The voice also reached the Innovade hunter Lars.

Relying on her voice, Leif and Telicyra struggled on to get to her. In front of them was a doll-like figure of a girl. It was a girl who was in a lethargic state because of the large amount of blood drawn from her. In front of her, Doctor Clay appears. Leif asks where Bryn is, and Doctor Clay sneers, “Couldn’t the person you’re looking for be the one right in front of you?” The one dressed up as a girl was Bryn.

Dr. Clay knew that the blood of the Innovades contained nanomachines that made them eternally young. He says that he wants to implement a blood transfusion that can make humans eternally young too. When he turned his gun to them, in an instant, moving as a battle type Innovade, Leif restrained Dr. Clay.

Following the Doctor’s idea (Telicyra), they leave the place without killing Doctor Clay. But after a while, someone blasted the place of Doctor Clay. At about the same time, Allelujah was liberated from the prison institution by CB “Oh God, bring death to these fake humans. And then their spirits will be at peace!” exclaimed Lars. His right eye and gun was connected by a thin cord.

Gundam 00I Chapter 04: Gundam
The scene changed and Leif was having a nightmare. In his dream, Gundam Rasiel and 1 Gundam were fighting. Grave and an Innovade who looked like Leif (Beside Pain) were piloting each of the Gundams. Leif woke up when the machine(s) blew up. Leif talked to Dr. Telicyra about the contents of his dream. The doctor told him, “Even if that was your past, you weren’t yourself back then. But, essentially, your memories shouldn’t be able to transfer.” “Innovade’s individual bodies last a long time so they can be recycled quite a few times. The Innovades’ [recycling mechanism], is most likely the result of Veda not understanding human nature, and consequently, as a computer terminal, it sought only what was most efficient,” the doctor continued.

But, after Leif and the Innovades they were searching for awakened, they would not be recalled. This differed completely from how (Innovade) recycling [worked] up until this point. Has it been decided that the six comrades I’m assembling are to guide the Innovades to the next step? Leif thought. “Because all Innovades are just reiterated like computer terminals [over and over], if I/we could be set free, that’s something I’d like to accomplish. And then a world where humans and Innovades can coexist. If we of all people don’t believe in that hope…”

The scene changes to Lars staring at a campfire in the middle of the forest. In the past, Lars had slaughtered the combat Innovades who had appeared before the tomb of his wife, who they had killed with their own hands, with a knife. And so, Lars targeted those he knew were Innovades by their faces, without differentiating between Innovades like Leif. But, Lars was identified by Leif as one of the 6. For that reason, he set his sights on the Doctor who hadn’t been a target because of his physical appearance.

Leif himself didn’t know why Lars had been selected as one of the six. Bryn, who had regained consciousness, addressed to him via quantum brainwaves. Bryn spoke. I was awoken by Telicyra’s specialized quantum communication ability. And I can feel that power faintly calling out to Leif. The scene changes to Katharon’s hideout. There, the doctor found an 874 type Innovade. And he met a “female type” Innovade like himself, through Sulu. The scene returns to Bryn sending an image to Leif. “This is….an enormous sealed power,” said Bryn. The image was of 1 Gundam from Leif’s dream.

Gundam 00I Chapter 05: Katharon
Doctor Telicyra watches over the battle between the Federation and Katharon. Before his eyes, his twin named Sulu struck down enemy MSs one by one. Meanwhile, Leif was securing Bryn’s cooperation and heading to the Gundam he had summoned. Leif vaguely understands that he has to remove the limiter on Bryn's special Innovade abilities. That is, the limiter put on Innovades so that they can live in human society.

The scene returns to Katharon. Lars attacks them while they’re resting after dealing with the first wave of the fight with the Federation. Lars aims and shoots only at the Innovades. “Pretend humans have no right to live,” Lars declares. And Telicyra objects, “Is there such thing as a life without merit!” Telicyra shields Brad, an Innovade, from a bullet with his body. Sulu rushes over to Telicyra, whose life was saved by a bulletproof vest. “Same face…” Telicyra hastily lies, “My sister! I’m your older brother!” Moved, Sulu embraces him.

At that time, Leif finally reaches the Gundam he saw in his dream, “1 Gundam.” “What are you going to do with such a dangerous thing?” Hixar Fermi appeared. Leif explained that he was on a mission. “Won’t you tell me about that mission? Beside Pain.” Hixar turned his gun on Leif.

Gundam 00I Chapter 06: Startup
Gundam 00I, chapter 6 takes place around Episode 10 of Gundam 00 Season 2. Hixar turns his gun on Leif who had just found 1 Gundam. At Celestial Beings base, Sherilyn misses Hanayo while Chall helps Eco pilot Gundam Astraea Type F. Hixar was moving based on the information he had gotten from Veda, “today, in this place, Beside Pain will appear.” The 1 Gundam wakes up and attacks Hixar. Meanwhile, Doctor Telicyra came into contact with Lars the “Innovade killer.” Lars points his gun at Telicyra, but he uses his quantum brainwaves to wake up Lars Grise. Then a beam of light came down and destroyed a city.

Gundam 00I Chapter 07: Past
Gundam 00I, chapter 7 takes place in episode 10 of Gundam 00 season 2.The beginning opens from Lars’ past. Lars, who had not had his memory erased by Veda, was searching for his “wife and child” who had had their memories erased. But, when he was reunited with Pitty, she was aware that she was not human. Pity tries to brainwash Lars. As a result, Lars killed Pity, who had been his “wife,” with his bare hands.

Back to the present. With Lars’ abilities unleashed, a mysterious light draws near Telicyra and Lars. “I’m a fake human… I have no right to live…. I must grant death to fake humans,” Lars mutters. The light stops just in the nick of time, but Telicyra could not discern Lars’ ability either. The scene changes to 1 Gundam attacking Hixar. Sitting in 1 Gundam’s cockpit, Leif regains his memories of his former self, Beside. The scene returns to Telicyra and Lars. Telicyra checks Lars’ right eye. Because his left eye was replaced with and artificial one, his link to Veda is disrupted. Telicyra hears that the light was a new Federation weapon from the approaching Sulu and Haamiya.

Next, the scene changes to the space CB base. Hixar sends off a message, requesting that Chall prepare something. It changes to a hectic scene. Bryn relays Leif’s quantum brainwaves saying that he wants to talk to Telicyra. “They’re probably starting to kill the eye witnesses to keep information about the weapon which was test-fired secret,” Terishira worries. With “But, those aren’t Veda’s instructions. It’s the Federation who wants the orbital weapon. It’s not Veda. It’s the action of someone using that to carry out Aeolia’s plan from the shadows.” respect to that, Leif asserts. Then he informs Telicyra that Lars’ ability is to control machines from long distances. Telicyra, having finished the conversation, conveyed his feeling of ill ease, which his correspondence with Leif brought back, to Bryn. Bryn again told Telicyra that Leif’s quantum brainwaves were getting stronger.

Leif flashbacks when he was Beside Pain. In the flashback Beside Pain was sent by Ribbons to destroy Celestial Beings' Krung Thep using the 1 Gundam and two GN Cannons. He battles Grave piloting Rasiel Gundam and Gundam Meister 874 piloting Gundam Artemie. Beside Pain was about to die, but he uses his ability to copy his own personality and memory to another body. Telicyra, Sulu, and Hermiya returns to the base and find Brad had massacred all the Katharon members. The combat-use Innovedo, Brad, attacks Sulu saying “Eliminate the eye-witnesses!” He grabs Sulu and started to choke her till seeing that spectacle, Lars uses his ability and takes remote-control of three Tierens’. The Tierens’ come to life at once to attack Brad, Killing Brad in the process. A light pierces the three Tierens. 1 Gundam descends from heaven like an angel.

Gundam 00I Chapter 08: The Fifth Person
Lars contacts Mememto Mori to attack Leif and 1 Gundam, but he protected himself using 1 Gundam's GN particles. In order to stop the battle, Bryn tested the access of Lars using quantum brainwaves. Telicyra stops Leif who tried to throw the finishing blow to Lars who was suffering said, "I get it now! You and Leif are different people!" Lars then threatened Lief or Beside Pain if he dies the comrades he discovers will not be able to be awakened so Leif backs away.

Then Telicyra was informed by Bryn of the fact that Lars was his previous father. Pitty hope Bryn, who was his "mother", with her family memories left behind, was sent to a special mission by Veda but Bryn whose memories have been erased was restored to society as a different child. Bryn wishes, "I want to entrust Lars to you". While Telicyra thought about how to return Leif who has changed, he was struck with an idea on how to look for the comrades that they were looking for without him. The scene changed to Celestial Beings's base were Gundam Rasiel is being repaired there. Fon roared laughing inside the space ship after having set the pseudo GN Drive into the Gundam that he stole from the battle with Innovators.

Gundam 00I Chapter 09: The Gathering
In the beginning of the chapter there are set of rules from VEDA.

1.) Look for 6 comrades among the Innovades.

2.) There can be more than 6 comrades in case that one dies the other can replace it.

3.) The comrades receive daily information from Veda.

4.) If the 6 comrades are not located and activated, then the full objective cannot be revealed.

Leif, who has been taken over by the character of Beside Pain, searches information that was sent from Veda. Among there is the information about the former member of Fereshte, the traitor called A13, Fon Spark. Leif sees this, and sorties in the 1 Gundam. Telicyra brought Sulu and Haamiya to his house. Regene Regetta appeared there and said he is one of the 6 comrades, but Telicyra saw through it and called him a liar. Regene threated him saying, "Do you want to die?" Telicyra answered to this saying, "Leif pointed his gun at me but didn't shoot. I think it's because he can't find my replacement. Isn't that the same with you?!" Once Regene left, Telicyra remembered from information from Veda that there is a Gundam Meister who was an Innovade who looked like Regene's same type.

In another place, Fon Spark allowed a GN-XIII force to be annihilated and then Leif went out and stood in front of him. However, Fon sneered saying, "The personal data of this guy named Leif is inside my Veda." Back to Telicyra's house. In order for him to find CB, he used the data of Chall several years ago. He started looking for her whereabouts by putting a bounty on her. Chall was Leif's senior in school. And then, at about that time, Chall was informed by Hixar that Beside who was supposed to have been annihilated have been resurrected along with 1 Gundam. Elsewhere, Bryn continues to persuade Lars through QBW, but he continues to sleep because of drugs. Back to Fon and Leif who is surprised at the information that his data is with Fon that is considered an Innovade.

Gundam 00I Chapter 10: Gundam vs. Gundam
Beside Pain has the ability to copy his own personality and memory to another body. Beside Pain in the 1 Gundam attacks Fon Spark and his Gundam Astraea Type F, which he receives serious injuries and had to withdraw from the battlefield. At Fon's hideout, Hanayo contacts Fon through his VEDA to meet with Chall. At CB hangar, Chall monitors the preparations for Gundam Rasiel and Sefer by Hixar and Sherilyn. She thinks back to the time before the armed intervention, the scouting of Meisters by Grave. Grave was a hindrance to Beside, leading to Beside killing Grave and also Hixar, but Hixar survived. Sherilyn Hyde wants her own cargo bot. Chall tells her to go to Ian. Sherilyn is sure that it will be useless. Chall later came down from space back to Earth with Sherilyn in a container of the ship.

When Telicyra was about to introduce himself, he confirms Chall's identity and spotted that they already found out about his background. At the same time Gundam Astraea Type F lands. Chall gives the innovade medical treatment data made by Doctor Moreno to Telicyra. Sherilyn throws the Haro at Fon. He says that he will be taking the "thing" in the container. Hanayo thanks Sherilyn through the Haro. Then Fon Spark and Telicyra head out to find Beside Pain.

At Telicyra's place, Lars receives data or memories of his wife at Celestial Beings hideout. He walks out and tells Bryn that he will not die until he atones for his sins. Bryn plead for him to stay. With Lars refusing, Bryn sends a QBW message to Sulu and Hermiya saying, "Stop my father." In the next scene, Beside Pain hides at an unknown facility. He has lost his whole left arm. He transplants his personal data to a reserve body since he has a strong desire to fight Fon Spark once more. Fon crushes the facility with the GN Hammer. The damaged body that Beside Pain had left behind is later treated by Telicyra using the innovade medical treatment data sent by Chall. Thanks to the medical treatment Lief`s is out of danger. At Ribbons' mansion Lars appears walking towards Ribbons.. and points his gun at him.

Gundam 00I Chapter 11
Lars pointed his gun towards Ribbons, but he lowered it and says, "Stop your foolish actions". Ribbons, seeing his change of mental state murmurs, "This is a verification that even an Innovade can evolve." Ribbons reveals that he receives information from the six comrade candidates, and proposes that he would give Lars an Innovade with the same type as Anew Returner to cease his sufferings.The scene changes to a battle between Fon Spaak and Beside Pain. Fon declared that he is naturally trying to be related to the gathering of the six comrades that Leif is trying to recruit. The battle was interrupted by three GNZ-005 Garazzo. Fon battles the three Garazzos and defeats them, while Beside retreats.

Back at Ribbons' place, Regene continues to listen to the exchange between Ribbons and Lars after confirming Beside's safety. Lars rejects Ribbons' proposal and then Lars cuts off Ribbons with a question, "How far are you related to the search of the six companions?" Ribbons replies, "I am a person who took over the plans of Aeolia, and I believe that it is important to the plan that Veda accomplishes the assembling of the six comrades. That's why I collaborate completely with the search for them." Then, Ribbons whispered that "his own acquaintances" are not suitable to be the six comrades. Lars went away quietly, and Ribbons saw him off with a bold smile.

Using the medical treatment data that Moreno left behind Leif's body was starting to recover with the help from the start-up command that activates the nanomachines inside the Innovade's body. Beside who was remodeling CB-001 1 Gundam to CB-001.5 1.5 Gundam was surprised that the data was not being downloaded from VEDA. He noticed that since his body was exchanged, he was being recognized by VEDA as a different existence. Because of this, he started to think of regaining Leif's body to get back access from VEDA. Telicyra comes across Chall and the rest as he visited CB's secret base. He regains his determination on hearing Moreno's story. Elsewhere, Beside piloting 1.5 Gundam destroyes Earth Sphere Federation troops and started a battle with Hixar Fermi. Hearing this news, Fon went in to prepare to sortie at the same time Leif's medical treatment was finished.
