The year is now AD 2314, 2 years after Celestial Being (CB) defeated the Innovators and the reformation of the ESF administration. Within the asteroid belt (between Lagrange point 4-5), nearby Jupiter, a CB Lab Transport quietly entered the belt to deliver some precious cargo. It penetrated a Optical Camouflage field to reveal a hidden resource satellite for the vessel to dock.

Inside the asteroid satellite, Ian Vashti excitingly greeted his wife, Linda Vashti, after her 2-year assignment to Jupiter to create two new GN Drives. The CB staff then unloaded the two new GN Drives specifically built with the Twin Drive System in mind. The transport opens up and revealed a incomplete MS. Ian remarks on the unfinished MS, which he believes is the one that Gundam Meister Setsuna F. Seiei had wanted to end all wars, GNT-0000 00 Qan[T].

Both Setsuna and Lockon Stratos were tipped off by Veda/Tieria Erde about an assassination attempt by the Colony Corporation against Princess Marina Ismail. As the two prepare for their intervention, Allelujah Haptism and Marie Parfacy traveled through Eurasia, and a new Innovade body is being created by Tieria. Unknown to anyone, a silvery mass of blob impacts upon the derelict Europa, the destroyed station that created the GN Drives near Jupiter. The station suddenly sprang to life. All the computers and systems turned on and began moving towards Earth.

Meanwhile on Earth, Saji Crossroad saw Celestial Being: The Movie (stylized after Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) with a friend. After the movie, his friend mentioned how great the movie was, but Saji felt it was embellished and mentioned the horrors of actual combat isn't the same. When his friend wondered what he meant, Saji dropped the subject to avoid mentioning his history with CB. After his friend left, he went see Louise Halevy.

In the past 2 years, Saji had taken care of Louise, but it wasn't an easy life. Louise had long term medical care due to both the physical changes made by the Innovators and her suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To receive medical treatment and to be close to one another, Saji had taken an engineering job at the HRL elevators and placed Louise in a nearby hospital to be close in case of emergencies. Because Louise suffered constant seizures and panic attacks, Saji often had to leave in the middle of work (much to his boss's dismay) to help calm her down.

As Saji picked out a bouquet of pink roses and drove to the Hospital to visit Louise, he reflected over CB's influence: Saji mentioned how the world was slowly moving towards pacifism. He credits CB's actions that revealed the atrocities of A-Laws and planted public fear of military strength in the minds of people; it lead to the current temporary peace the world has. He firmly believes the importance of remembering past actions to bring about real peace.

At the hospital, Louise greets Saji and tells him she doesn't have seizures anymore and is nearly ready to be discharged. While happy to hear the news, Saji reminds her that they have all the time in the world. As Saji placed Louise's head to his shoulder, he wondered what Setsuna has been up to in the past 2 years.

At the L-3 Colony SOE (a new space colony in construction), Marina Ismail and Shirin Bakhtiar were denied access to personally inspect the colony by the Colony Corporation. The Colony Corp representatives reasoned it was the benefit for their own safety as the colony is at the beginning stages and too dangerous for civilians to enter. Shirin debated their reason for being there was to check on the middle eastern laborers. They were forced to emigrate and work on the space colony due to the past ESF administration and Shirin believed there are those who wished to return home; however the representative assured Shirin that they were in complete compliance with all regulations and standards with the current administration. Marina interjected by requesting a compromise: They would be allowed to meet the workers and their families under their terms. The Colony Corp rep agreed to schedule a meeting at the worker's quarters and left. Unknown to them, the Union Corp rep had no intention of letting them go.

The corporation had amassed great wealth from their contracted operations in colony construction, relying on a workforce given to them by the previous administration. They felt threatened by Marina and her fellow inspectors. Allowing the truth to come forth would threaten their work force and profits. Regardless of Marina's findings, they didn't intend to allow anyone aboard her shuttle to live to tell the tale and report back to the ESF. They had already planned a inside assassination job to silence them and make it look like a shuttle accident.

As the inspectors' shuttle traveled to a predestined route, Shirin wondered why they're straying off course. The company host explained they're heading to the worker's quarters as they requested. When both Shirin and Marina asked the host about his thoughts over the colony, he refused to comment and reiterated their company is in compliance of all regulations. Marina explained that they're here to make sure the middle eastern workers are happy and also wanted the host to be happy. The host replied in a tone befitting a martyr, saying that he's happy so long as his family is happy. Seconds later, the shuttle crew was notified by the ship's captain to buckle-up due to incoming mobile suits. The passengers of the shuttle was quick to realize something was wrong as they spotted 3 incoming GNX-609T GN-XIIIs. They were quick to look to the host for an explanation, but it was too late. As the GN-XIIIs were about to fire, they suddenly received unexpected beam fire.

Before they could kill Marina, Setsuna and Lockon arrived to save her. Setsuna intercepted the GN-XIIIs with his CBNGN-003 [SVMS-01AP] Union Flag Celestial Being Version to avoid being identified as a member of CB. He deployed a series of particle smokescreen missiles to blind their sensors. Setsuna took advantage of the particle cloud to cut-down one of the assassins and engaged the second one as the third one pursued the shuttle. Setsuna drew out his GN Sword II Kai and destroyed the second one as the third assassin tried shoot down the evasive shuttle. Setsuna quickly fired a hail of bullets to divert the assassin's attention and finished him off with a cut through the GNX's torso. However, the danger wasn't over, the shuttle host was the last assassin.

On board the shuttle, the remaining assassin prepared to kill Marina. When one of the passengers tried to intervene, he was shot twice on the left shoulder. As Shirin shielded the princess, Marina asked the assassin if killing would make his family happy. The shooter was hesitant as he had a conflict of conscience. Seconds later, the shooter was shot himself by Lockon with a non-fatal bullet wound. Two of the passengers then jumped on the shooter and restrained him.

Lockon had already infiltrated the shuttle and took advantage of the shooter's hesitation to disarm him. To show he came in peace, he put his hands up to not startle anyone. Marina asked Lockon's identity, but he declined to answer. Despite Lockon's tinted helmet, Shirin identified Lockon by his voice as former Katharon agent, Jean 1; Marina deduced that they were saved by CB. Lockon escaped from the shuttle's airlock and was recovered by Setsuna to return to base. As they departed, Lockon wondered why didn't Setsuna see Marina, but Setsuna didn't feel it was necessary; Lockon felt Setsuna was dense over the matter.

Back at the shuttle, with the shooter tied up, Marina reasoned with him. She tells the shooter that they need to understand each other better. Marina tells him that she's not here to argue, but to understand him. As for Shirin, she couldn't believe Marina's kindness over what just happened and reflected upon CB's return. Shirin believes CB continues to fight for the world.

At CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 Kai, Setsuna and Lockon just returned from their mission. Feldt Grace greets them both at the MS hanger with some refreshments, but was really there to see Setsuna. Feldt wanted to know how the mission went and Setsuna stoically replied it was successful due to Veda's intel and went to report his findings with Sumeragi. Feldt tried to give Setsuna his drink, but he already left the room.

At the bridge, Setsuna reported his mission to Sumeragi Lee Noriega and was complemented for his success. Lasse Aeon and Mileina Vashti then reflected that bringing out the Gundams would only cause more problems and it's best to maintain their low profile to avoid causing a public disruption. Just then, Feldt reports that the ESF-Army is preparing to take action in removing a probe that's closing towards Earth. Under Sumeragi's inquiry, Feldt reported the probe came from Jupiter. Setsuna got curious and wanted to know if there's detailed data on it, but there wasn't any; Feldt intends to investigate further. Lasse wondered if something bothered him over the matter, but he wasn't sure himself; he intends to explain himself after knowing more and left. After Setsuna left the bridge, the crew couldn't help but reflect on Setsuna. Mileina commented that he had been indifferent lately. Lasse reasoned that he's probably sensing something beyond their understanding due to his Innovator physiology. At L-2, Kati Mannequin is aboard a Volga-class battlecruiser and on her way to inspect Celestial Being. In between, she's actively monitoring the situation with the Europa-probe heading towards Earth. She left commands to have their closest patrol fleet to intercept and destroy the probe. As she relived her command to her second, Patrick Colasour (her husband) meets by misaddressing her as Colonel. Annoyed, she reminded him she's now Brigadier General. Patrick wanted to join Kati for the tour and she felt he could use some experience and brought him to tag along. Because Celestial Being has no docking port, they had to reach the colony ship by transport shuttle.

Aboard Celestial Being, the couple was greeted by ESF soldiers and given a small tour. It's shown that Veda and its surviving Innovades now serve the ESF to maintain the mothership and that the ESF have 70% of the ship analyzed. Within one of the tactical rooms, Kati and Patrick meets Innovator Descartes Shaman, the only Innovator recognized by Veda. Because of his unique physiology, Descartes is constantly monitored with various medical devices to measure his biometrics. While learning more about Innovators, the ESF staff reported to Kati about Europa heading towards Earth. Three Baikal-class ships tried in vain to destroy the station with GN missiles along with a squad of GNX-803T GN-XIVs led by Andrei Smirnov, but to Kati's surprise, the ship suffered minimal damage and continued. Unable to figure out why an old probe could endure through all that destructive force, Descartes volunteered to sortie. Kati was surprised that Descartes would volunteer, but he deduced that Kati had come to see what an Innovator can do and would even test out the new unit, GNMA-Y0002V Gadelaza. Kati asked did Descartes read her mind, but he vaguely answered her that he is a test subject after all.

As Shaman prepared to sortie with Gadelaza, an ESF officer explained the unit is designed specifically for an Innovator and about 5 times more powerful than the average MS. However, he believes it's capabilities far exceed those expectations. Descartes completed his check on the Quantum Brainwave Control System and launched towards Europa. Due to Gadelaza's incredible speed, the mobile armor made it a few minutes later. Descartes deployed his Fangs, shredded the ship, and finished Europa off with a powerful beam blast. Believing the threat neutralized, Descartes returned to base. Unknown to them, wreckage of the ship survived and crashed onto Earth.

In the Union's ESF headquarters, the ESF president is informed of Shirin's report on how the Colony SOE tried to stop her and Marina from inspecting the station. The two advisors argue over whether military support is needed, and the president says that she'll send a letter to SOE asking them for an explanation. One advisor asks if they're going too easy on them, and argues that pacifism is fine, but people will start taking advantage of the policy. The president urges patience, and her secretary (who resembles Anew Returner) comes in and reports on the success on Descartes' destruction of the Europa. She goes on to explain that a research team would like to send Descartes into actual combat to collect more data, and that there is also a rise in the number of potential Innovators throughout the world and that a case needs to be established. However, the president sees this becoming a problem as Innovators may eventually outnumber non-evolved humans in the future. At a Union Military base, Billy Katagiri is talking to Graham Aker about the tests on the new GNX-903V Brave. Graham then asks about the debris, and Billy thinks its strange that more debris didn't burn up in Earth's atmosphere. Graham tells Billy that he's heard rumors that Kati wants to do an investigation into the probe. After the destruction of the probe, strange events begin happening all over the world. In an HRL desert, Ikeda and a group of news reporters arrived at a crater being investigated by the ESF, only to witness a military truck move on its own. In Russia, a driverless car severely injures a man. In the Canary Islands, a boat has randomly destroyed others. In Germany, a train crashes into another one and leaves without a scratch. On the HRL elevator, Saji is forced to leave work (to his boss' chagrin) in order to tend to a convulsing Louise. Elsewhere on Earth, a young girl, Amia Lee, returns home from school, only to find that her fingerprint ID doesn't work. Shards of metal stabbed Amia's hand, but she broke free by ripping a layer of her flesh from the door. A man in a spacesuit emerged from Amia's house and it reached out towards her as she screamed.

At a ESF research laboratory, astrophysicist Mehna Carmine and a team of scientists analyze a piece of the surviving debris from the Europa. As they pondered the reason why Europa's debris didn't vaporize upon entering Earth's atmosphere, Billy Katagiri arrived to suggest that they underestimated the mass and density of Europa's wreckage and it's the reason why debris still fell onto Earth. Before Billy could comment anymore, Meena jumped on top of Billy, believing he came to see her. One of the scientists explained that there were traces of radiation found on the sample but none in its actual structure. Billy said that the result was strange and Mehna brought up the fact that less than half the fragments were found and that the recovery team had taken damage from the impact. With these facts, Billy came up with two conclusions. One was that the fragments vanished, and the other was that they were moving under their own power. The other scientists though Billy's theory was dumb, but Mehna defended him by showing where debris had landed in correlation with reports of recent attacks. Noting that the distances are too close to be a mere coincidence, Mehna requested that Billy get some top secret information form the Federation. The data was related to people who possessed quantum brainwaves. CB received a report from Veda that said the same thing, and the Ptolemy 2 crew realized that their Super Soldier comrades Allelujah and Marie would be in grave danger. After Mileina failed to contact the couple, Setsuna and Lockon head down to Earth. Knowing that Louise had augmented QBW's, Setsuna split off from Lockon and traveled to the Orbital Elevator to save Saji & Louise.

In Mongolia, Allelujah and Marie run into a ESF solar plant, investigating why they had lost power suddenly. A piece of debris crashed into a transformer, which Allelujah found strange. They entered a building on base for further answers. Marie is in shock as she sees a group of workers covered in a strange metal. Suddenly, the couple is attacked by a driverless Jeep as they try to escape the base. Meawhille, at the Federation Hospital, Saji tended to Louise as she is having a convulsion. Her supposedly dormant quantum brainwaves suddenly activated as the power goes out. The helmeted man bursts into Louise's room as Louise begs him to not get any closer. The man keeps walking closer to Louise, but Saji knocked the man down with a chair. The couple leave the hospital, but the helmeted man catches up and tosses Saji aside. As Louise is about to be grabbed, Setsuna fired a shot at the helmet to divert the man's attention, and he resembled a very much alive Ribbons Almark. Meanwhille, Allelujah and Marie continued to be chased by vehicles, one of which manages to regenerate itself after crashing. In Allelujah's head, Hallelujah points out that Marie's quantum brainwaves are drawing the vehicles towards her. Hallelujah then hijacks Allelujah's body to draw the vehicles off of her. While Marie and Hallelujah are being attacked by a helicopter, Lockon saved the day with GN-002RE Gundam Dynames Repair.

Setsuna wondered why Ribbons was there and fired shots that would have killed a normal person, including a shot through the center of the forehead and two in the femoral artery. But "Ribbons", now with holes in his body, kept walking towards Setsuna, when he suddenly received a strange vision. Undeterred, Setsuna used a plastic explosive while Saji covered Louise. The explosion was absorbed by "Ribbons" and detonated, but to Setsuna's shock the bottom half of Ribbons kept walking towards him until it shattered into metallic fragments. The remains of "Ribbons" only added more depth to the mystery. Eventually Setsuna rendezvoused with Lockon before returning to the Ptolemy 2 Kai. At the ESF laboratory, Billy and Mehna met with Vice Admiral Kim and ESF Representative Klaus Grad to analyze Amia's half assimilated body. Billy and Mehna explained that Amia's body had been turned into half metal by a being known as a Extraterrestrial Living-metal Shape-shifter, or ELS. Mehna indicates that the ELS are attracted to people with quantum brainwaves. Billy asks Klaus to propose to the Federation government to place the emerging Innovators in isolation. The ESF president asks if there is a possibility of a leak, and her advisors tell her that the networks are in full cooperation and that Veda is controlling the information. On board the Ptolemy, while Mileina happily greets Allelujah and Marie, Sumeragi and Lasse arrive and asked about Saji & Louise. Setsuna explained that they had been placed in a Quantum Brainwave Isolation Facility on the Orbital Elevator. Setsuna inquired about the data he had sent earlier, but Lockon suggested that the group take a break from the action and reconvene later. Feldt asked if Setsuna sensed something, and he replied yes but was unable to describe it. Setsuna then left Feldt and went to his room to ponder his experience. Sumeragi then talks to Feldt about Setsuna having aliented himself ever since he became a Innovator and how he's confused over his changes. Feldt asked what she could do to help Setsuna, and Sumeragi tells her to simply keep thinking about Setsuna, as it's the best way for people to understand each other. Later, in the briefing room, Allelujah and Marie recount the attack in Mongolia, while Setsuna explains to the crew that he saw Ribbons. However, Feldt explains that it was the body Ribbons-type Innovade, Sky Eclipse who was a crew member on the Europa. Setsuna and Lockon reason that the aliens must have infected the body. On board Celestial Being, Patrick and Kati are about to share a kiss when an officer reports to Kati that an unknown MS left the mothership on Trans-Am. The scene then shifts to one of the Innovade incubation pods, now empty.

Not long afterwards, the Europa strangely reappeared and CB takes the offensive. Lockon launches first in the GN-010 Gundam Zabanya. About to launch, Marie said that she didn't want to cause the crew trouble since the aliens were attracted to her QBW. Allelujah acknowledges this and launched in GN-011 Gundam Harute. Sumeragi told Setsuna that the GN-0000RE+GNR-010 00 Raiser Condenser Type was a backup Gundam equipped with twin GN Condensers instead of GN Drives and that he shouldn't push it. Setsuna then launched in 00 Raiser. When the group arrived, they're shocked to see hundreds of ELS probes emerging from the ship and attacking. Lockon was able to shoot down a few of them, and Allelujah deployed the GN Missiles, but some were absorbed by the ELS and they changed shape. About to fire the GN Sword III, Setsuna is shown the same vision he saw earlier. Setsuna was unable to shoot at the aliens and kept evading them, eventually trying to exit the battlefield. Compromised in battle, 00 Raiser's left arm was hit by two probes and was being assimilated. As one of the ELS nearly was about to strike 00 Raiser, Setsuna was spared by a barrage of beams. Two gigantic claws the grabbed 00 Raiser and ripped out the infected left MS arm, saving Setsuna. The two units then rejoined with a unknown Gundam (CB-002 Raphael Gundam) which ran on GN Drive Taus. The Gundam then destroyed the ELS probes that were pursuing Allelujah and Lockon and subsequently annihilated the space station, securing CB's escape. Setsuna could only sit in 00 Raiser and wonder what had happened. Later, the pilot arrives on board Ptolemy II, revealing himself to be Tieria Erde. Allelujah asked how Tieria came back to physical form, and he explained that as a Innovade, all he had to do was upload his consciousness into any terminal. Skipping the pleasentries, Tieria asked Setsuna why he was unable to fight, but Setuna didn't know. Tieria believed that the ELS wre sentient due to Setsuna's instictive reaction to them.

On the Orbital Elevator, Billy and Mehna ride one of the linear trains. Mehna told Billy that CB had most likely fought the ELS themselves, which caused Billy to think of Sumeragi. When Mehna tried to kiss him, Billy changed the subject to the possible sentience of the ELS. Mehna thinks they are based on the change in radio waves coming from Jupiter which closely match QBW patterns. Later, CB held a meeting with the crew about the arrival of the ELS. Lasse wondered if their arrival were part of the dialogues that Aeolia Schenberg talked about, but Tieria agreed despite Aeolia's theory being originally formuled 300 years prior. Allelujah doesn't think that humanity is ready to experience the dialogues, but Lockon says that their arrival is real and that they have to fight. Lasse agrees with Lockon on the basis that they're being attacked. Marie tells Lasse that he's being inconsiderate, and Allelujah adds that the the ELS don't understand them either. Feldt asks for Setsuna's opinion, but he doesn't know what to say and leaves. Tieria asked Sumeragi on 00 Qan[T]'s status, and she said that Ian was working on it. Tieria said that the 00 Qan[T] may be their trump card against the ELS. Sumeragi asks if he's implying that Setsuna can communicate with the ELS, and Tieria asks if she's ever considered the possibility. Sumeragi thinks that a plan like that would be too dependent on Setsuna.

'On Celestial Being, Billy and Mehna arrive and are greeted by Kati. Billy exprssed interest in stopping the ELS attacks on Earth. Descartes arrived on Kati's orders and Mehna asked Descartes if he had listened to the sample of the radio wave from Jupiter, though Descartes claimed he wasn't that multitalented as a soldier. He explained to Mehna that the sound the ELS made was a sort of cry, and Mehna wondered who they could be calling for. Descartes excused himself and sulked in an elevator, calling the ELS inferior creatures. Suddenly, Descartes started to get a headache, as Marie, Allelujah, Setsuna, Louise, and all others with QBW's reacted to a phenomenon. These people included the partially assimilated Amia, who had awoken as a Innovator. A 60,000 km gravitational field had opened up within Jupiter's Big Red Spot, swallowing Io and Ganymede and collapsing Jupiter's ring. The increased forces of the ELS emerged from the Red Spot and headed for Earth. Setsuna rushed to the bridge of Ptolemy and asked how long it would take the ELS to reach Earth. Feldt revealed that the ELS would arrive at Earth in 95 days as Sumeragi bemoaned the fact that humanity had three months until the prophesized dialogues. The ESF later announcd the existance of the ELS, but told the people that they were not headed for Earth. At the Federation Assembly, the politicians clashed over the intentions of the ELS and the plan to defend Earth under a pacifist government, to the consternation of the President. In space, Marina and Shirin returned from Colony SOE, having successfully negotiated the return of the middle eastern citizens to Azadistan, returned to Earth as Shirin couldn't believe that aliens were attacking Earth. Inside the Federation Emergency Office, the President asks the Director of Security about their numbers vs. the ELS, to which he responded they could only hope that they stay away from Earth. The Defense Secretary explains to the key administration members that Captain Sherman was transferred to the ESF fleet that will intercept the ELS at Mars in order to discover their intentions. The plan involved using Descartes's QBW attraction as bait to alter the ELS horde trajectory away from Earth. The fleet would be led by a Nile-class commanded by Vice Admiral Kim. While arriving at Mars via Trans-Am, a soldier asked Kim why he had volunteered for such a dangerous mission. Kim replied by telling him about Sergei Smirnov, who believed in humanity's future and how the army should be operated in a great crisis. Kim is trying to follow Sergei's example by volunteering for the mission. Descartes launches ahead of the fleet and a group of ELS swarm towards him. With little options, a full blown battle was engaged between the ELS and ESF. The battle quickly turned sour for the ESF, with many of their Baikal-class battleships and GN-XIV's being assimilated, along with Kim's ship being assimilated by a horde of ELS. Descartes blasted the assimilated ships, but came under a ruthless mental attack from the ELS as the Gadelaza's Fangs were being assimilated. Gadelaza was eventually grabbed by a large ELS as Descartes began suffering massive headaches.

CB eventually joined the battle, witnessing the assimilation of Descartes and the Gadelaza despite Setsuna urging his fellow Innovator to run. In order to understand why the ELS came to the Solar System instead of fighting them, Setsuna executed Trans-Am System+Raiser System to create a Trans-Am Burst effect. Setsuna believed that the GN Particles would synchronize his mind with those of the ELS and would help him understand their goals. He entered the Quantum Ethereal Plane and asked what their goals were. Unfortunately, Setsuna fell victim to a ruthless mind attack from the ELS and screams in pain as the ELS smash into the immobile 00 Raiser. Despite their attempts to reach Setsuna, Harute, Raphael, and Zabanya were forced to fight back to back to back. When 00 Raiser ran out of particles, Tieria Erde broke away from Lockon and Allelujah/Soma and was forced to reveal Raphael Gundam's backpack, GN-008RE Seravee Gundam II while Tieria drew the enemy away from Seravee II with Raphael and his quantum brainwaves. Lockon and Allelujah tried to assist, but Tieria declared that he wouldn't let the ELS kill Setsuna for the sake of the dialogues. As soon as Seravee II made physical contact with 00 Raiser, the unit's left MS arm was being assimilated. As Seravee II ripped 00 Raiser's cockpit out of the MS frame, Tieria suffered mental stress from making close contact with the ELS through Seravee and Raphael was hit. Before Seravee was lost to the ELS, the unit threw 00 Raiser's cockpit to Zabanya. Zabanya and Harute then retreat back to Ptolemy II Kai using Trans-Am. Tiera was eventually overcomed by the brain attacks and the ELS horde begun to assimilate and encircle the Raphael as a sphere. Tieria activated the immobile Raphael's Trans-Am before his eventual demise to blast as many ELS as possible, destroying both Raphael and Seravee II. However, the surviving ELS used the explosion as a boost to catch up to the escaping Zabanya carrying Setsuna. Hallelujah and Soma switched in and diverted the ELS away from Lockon, but it wasn't enough. As Zabanya was about to be struck by an ELS, The Solbraves, led by Graham Aker, arrived at the crucial moment and held off the ELS using bait-and-trap tactics. The Solbraves covered Ptolemy II Kai's escape as Zabanya and Harute both retreated. Tieria's conscious mind returns to Veda and the remaining Meisters worriedly observe a brain damaged Setsuna in the ICU. After the battle, Neferu Naguib thanks Lasse for recharging the Solbraves particles, and Lasse says it was only payback for the escort. Graham arrives on board the Ptolemy and talks with Feldt. He remarks on how humanity would always be searching for a path to the future, even without te ELS. Graham then explains that he foolishly tried to surpass the Gundams, but realized that he only needed to surpass Setsuna. Suddenly, Graham received a call to return to his ship after resupply. At that moment, even more ELS were heading straight for Earth, including a planetoid on scale with Earth's Moon. The ESF made an announcement regarding the arrival of the ELS planetoid, and told its citizens that there would be a chance that the planetoid would affect Mars. On Earth, the ESF parliament is thrown into disarray as politicians argue on how to deal with the ELS as Klaus and Shirin talk. Klaus said that the ESF would choose to counterattack against the ELS invasion, and Shirin explained that humanity's survival came first before reaching understanding.

Ian and Linda delivered the 00 Qan[T] to Ptolemy II Kai, as CB realizes that the suit may be humanity's only hope for survival. Ian and Linda are shocked that Setsuna was brain damaged, but Tieria makes a request to Ian Vashti that a miniature Veda terminal be installed in the cockpit of 00 Qan[T]. It is so Tieria can use Veda to handle the massive amounts of information that would result from Setsuna linking with the ELS again. Tieria then explained three core components to Aeolia's original plan were the GN Drive, Veda, and Innovators were created because Aeolia believed that humans would make contact with alien life. Afterward, Sumeragi orders Ian to finish adjusting the 00 Qan[T] and notifies all of the crew that they would head for Earth via Trans-Am and join the battle to defend Earth. Realizing that they had reached the final step in Aeolia's plan, Sumeragi declared it to be Celestial Being's final mission. he president goes to the AEU meeting room with her advisers and orders a full scale assault on the ELS, as well as ordering the evacuation of civilians to underground shelters. The military and defense secretaries explained to the ESF cabinet the ESF Army had set up a Absolute Defense Line based around Celestial Being and that Kati would be in command. One advisor asked about the possibility of the ELS avoiding the line entirely and the defense secretary explained that Earth would suffer catastrophic damage. The cabinet thought that it was up to God's will over their survival, but the ESF president said that they couldn't leave it up to God and that they had to fight in order to reach the future, no matter the cost. Marina's bodyguards come in and explain that there would not be enough room in the shelters for the people, and Marina opens up the palace for them. She and Shirin are asked to evacuate Azadistan, but they refuse, instead choosing to help the remaining people on the surface. Saji tells Louise that he's going on the Orbital Elevator to help fight the ELS as the last line of defense. On board Celestial Being, Kati and her crew begin final preparations for attack, and Patrick called his wife "colonel" one last time before launching. The ESF launched a wave of missiles to take out a group of ELS, but most of them stand after the detonation due to them entering a shield formation. The ESF then launches all of their MS, which are equipped with GN Field emitters to avoid assimilation. The ESF attacks the ELS planet using the Celestial Being's main cannon, which blasts a massive hole in the ELS superstructure, though it soon recovers. After slowing down a large ELS and destroying it, Patrick saw that the ELSs shape-shifting into GN-XIV's. Kati wondered if they were changing based on previously assimilated data, and Billy realized that since the ELS had assimilated GN-XIV, it also meant that their own weapons would be used against them.

Kati orders a second shot to be fired at the ELS planet, but the shot is deflected as the Solbraves arrive at the battlefield, tearing through the ELS forces, though at the cost of losing Yagan Crow. Viktor Leonov alerted Graham to two Baikal-class cruisers being assimilated and being turned into ELS. Zabanya and Harute then arrived to assist the ESF in battle. Despite the much needed backup, the ELS still overwhelms CB and the ESF, breaking through the defensive line. On board Ptolemy II, Feldt sees that Setsuna is having convulsions, and in a nightmarish vision, Setsuna sees the darker aspects of his past, including the murder of his parents and the deaths of Christina, Lichty, and the first Lockon Stratos. Unable to see him in such pain, Feldt goes into the ICU to be at Setsuna's side. Celestial Being's laser cannon is struck by a group of ELS, forcing them to purge the weapon. Unfortunately for the ESF, two large ELS got past the Absolute Defense Line and are headed for Earth. Andrei fights off a ELS GN-XIV, though it forces him to tear off his own GN-XIV's right arm. Andrei noticed the ELS heading for Earth and slices it, though his GN-XIV is partially assimilated in the process. With no options left, Andrei and his squadrons GN-XIV's overload their respective Trans-Am and destroys the large ELS, as Andrei declares that he is a soldier that will protect the people.

On board Ptolemaios 2 Kai, Setsuna senses Andrei's sacrifice as he enters a dream state. There, he sees Marina and Shirin giving aid to people in Azadistan, Saji on the Orbital Elevator, Lockon, Allelujah, and Marie fighting off the ELS, the Ptolemy crew, and then he smiles sees the first Lockon, Christina Sierra, and Lichtendahl Tsery telling him that the world needs him and that he has to change. Setsuna then sees the flower that Feldt gave him before The Battle of L2 and finally wakes up as Lockon tells him to live, finding Feldt at his side. After Setsuna fully recovered, he suited up to launch in the 00 Qan[T]. Tieria had Mileina download his consciousness into the 00 Qan[T] as she declared her love for Tieria, much to Ian's shock and Linda's joy. Setsuna launched in 00 Qan[T] as Feldt returned to her post. When asked by Lasse why she didn't go with Setsuna, she responds that Setsuna had so much love within him to the point where all she had to do was think of him.

In the chaos of battle, Patrick Colasour's GN-XIV is grabbed by a ELS GN-XIV and is slowly assimilated. Patrick says his goodbyes to Kati and prepares to kamikaze when 00 Qan[T] blasts Patrick's GNX, saving him from assimilation and defying death once again. Tieria tells Setsuna that he has to get to the center of the large ELS in order to communicate with them. Lockon, Allelujah, and the other ESF pilots defend Earth from the ELS and make a path for Setsuna. Zabanya utilized its many GN Rifle Bits and GN Holster Bits to destroy the ELS en masse, while Allelujah and Hallelujah combined once again, enhancing the performance of the Harute through the Marute System. Setsuna uses the Sword Bits to create a GN Field when the ELS start attacking him. Graham in his Brave and the remaining members of the Sol Brave Squadron backs up Setsuna, with Graham telling Setsuna that he has to live and blaze a path to the future. With 15% of Ptolemy II infected and 55% of the ESF fleet lost or assimilated, Kati contacts Sumeragi, with the latter telling the ESF to hold on a bit longer. Kati asks if they can win, but Sumeragi says no, but they have some hope. Lockon turns on Trans-Am and takes out a large number of ELS, while Allelujah saves an Over Flag Astro Package Type pilot from assimilation at the cost of Harute's binder. Hallelujah calls Allelujah a hypocrite, and Allelujah said that he doesn't have to give up people's lives as Allelujah also activates Trans-Am. With a large cluster of ELS firing upon him, Setsuna resolves to cut right to the ELS core with Trans-Am. Even though Tieria tells Setsuna that Trans-Am is needed for the dialogues, Setsuna activates the system to fire a large beam to cleave the ELS planet in half. The ELS ship started to pull it's surface plates together and recovered. Graham Aker, now partially assimilated, decides to believe in a better future for humanity and kamikazes into the still reforming mothership while overloading his Trans-Am to create a hole large enough for Setsuna to pass through. With Ptolemy II being further assimilated and unable to form a GN Field, Sumeragi prepared to abaondon the ship. However, Feldt didn't want to abandon anyone like she did Christina, and the crew members and Meisters declared that they wouldn't give up and would unlock the future. Eventually, Celestial Being was also undergoing assimilation and had lost a staggering 70% of their forces Setsuna and Tieria eventually arrived at the ELS core, with Tieria telling Setsuna to use the full power of the Quantum System. Setsuna uses his QBWs to activate the system, and Tieria declares that the fate of humanity rests on their contact.

After Setsuna established contact, it was quickly realized that the attack was nothing more than a misunderstanding. Desplaying their culture, the ELS showed the evolution of their species over time. However, their sun had become a red giant, slowly killing their homeworld. As an emergency, the ELS sent out a large planetoid to explore new worlds. Setsuna saw that the ELS reached mutual understanding through assimilating and becoming one with what they don't know. Setsuna then resolved to go to the ELS homeworld with the 00 Qan[T] for further understanding. Tieria asked if it was a good idea, but Setsuna said that didn't matter. In his lifetime, he had found meaning to his existence, which was the same for everyone: reaching the future. However, Setsuna still questioned why people misunderstand each other. Lockon kept on fighting, stating that if a Innovade like Anew and he were able to understand each other, so could the ELS and humanity. Harute is destroyed by ELS fire, forcing Marie and Allelujah to evacuate, Mileina begins crying as her parents are close to certain death. Tieria further explained that despite their intelligence, humans feud over small things. Questioning if that was the case, Setsuna escaped from the ELS planet and tossed away the GN Sword V, prepearing to teleport. Setsuna said that his act of understanding would point out how easy it was for people to misunderstand each other. Setsuna and the 00 Qan[T] then teleported away from the battlefield. Afterwards, Patrick saw that the ELS are headed back to their planet and the assimilation ceasing. The world then witnesses the ELS change the superstructure of the planet into a large desert flower taken from Setsuna's dream, signifying the end of hostilities. Marina sees the flower as Setsuna's thoughts and that's all that's needed to bring the world together.

During the post-credits, a brief flashback to A.D. 2091 shows a much younger Aeolia Schenberg talking to a colleague named E.A. Ray. Ray says that Aeolia can't hide from his own acomplishments, and Aeolia tells him that he hates when people misuse knowledge and how it's the source of all conflict. Aeolia wishes for a world where people can understand each other, otherwise they will only spread hatred when they go out into the depths of space. Fifty years after Setsuna's disappearance (A.D. 2364), the flower in space is now a deep space station for intergalactic travel. A exploration vessel, the Sumeragi, is being prepped for travel along with multiple GNW-100A Sakibure mobile suits, being crewed by Innovators (including Amia who is partially healed, along with a Tieria-type Innovade) and led by Klaus Grad. By this point, over 25% of humanity has undergone Innovation, and the 1000 member crew will be sent out to deep space to explore new worlds with their longer life span while the rest of humanity innovates. In a undisclosed countryside, a blind and much older Marina listens to the announcement on TV. While she is playing the piano, she senses someone entering. That person is none other than Setsuna, with a metallic body and eyes glowing, fulfilling his promise to see her again. The two embrace and say that they could fnally understand each other. Outside an upgraded and winged 00 Qan[T] kneels and becomes covered in flowers, emitting GN Particles in an angelic fashion.
