Tieria Erde

Tieria Erde (ティエリア・アーデ) is an Innovade and one of the protagonists of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. As Celestial Being's Gundam Meister, Tieria first pilots GN-005 Gundam Virtue and GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh during season 1; he later pilots GN-008 Seravee Gundam and GN-009 Seraphim Gundam in season 2. After events in season 2, Tieria is no longer an Innovade, but a part of Veda as a living consciousness and holographic interface to Celestial Being within CBS Celestial Being; in the movie, he becomes the MS pilot to CB-002 Raphael Gundam.

Personality & Character
At the beginning, Tieria was a negatively-stoic person. He's apathetic, inconsiderate, distrusting, strict, feminine, self-righteous, and an elitist. Tieria himself merely tolerates the people around him for the sake of fulfilling his created purpose.

As evident, Tieria holds both his position as a Gundam Meister and his ability to connect to Veda in high regard. Like Ribbons Almark, Tieria prides himself as special and one of the main important piece to the Aeolia's Plan. Because of these traits, which he thinks as blessings, he builds himself to be the type who goes by-the-book; to the point where he shows less interest and/or concern about the well-being of others. If a comrade ever threatens Celestial Being's objectives, he has no qualms about reprimanding them and/or killing them to preserve CB's integrity. He treats Veda as an unquestionable entity (like a god) and himself as its priest. It's because of this narrow-minded focus and not caring for others that made him the least popular among the crew member.

During the events of AD 2307-08 (Season 1), transformations began to change around Tieria. The issue about someone sabotaging Veda (and later Veda being stolen from Celestial Being's grasp) left Teiria shaken and in doubts about his life's real purpose. However, his comrades' help and support eventually get Tieria on his feet again. He learns to respect his fellow comrades; especially about Setsuna's view about being a Meister and Lockon's selfless acts to help others. Through them, Tieria learned his own humanity and his new purpose for fighting.

By AD 2312 (Season 2), after being cut off from Veda, Tieria made great improvements with his human aspects. His ability to care and trust his fellow comrades has made him more likable with the Ptolemy Crew. The greatest change in character is his sense of faith in humanity. Tieria's heart opened to those around him and he developed a great sense in faith for Setsuna.

Even though he had made great improvements to himself as a human, he was still an Innovade; a part of Tieria's loyalties was divided when Innovators told him the "truth" behind his true purpose and Aeolia's plan. Tieria became greatly conflicted to follow Aeolia's plan or to support those dear to him. He eventually decided to reject Innovators and to fight for humanity, believing it his purpose to help guide humanity to become Innovators.

Skills & Abilities
As an Innovade, Tieria was created to adapt to the conditions of space and use of quantum brainwaves. With his quantum brainwaves, Tieria is able to fully connect to the entire network of Veda, allowing him access to all information Veda has, up to level 7. As a Gundam Meister, Tieria was trained in MS combat and coordinated military tactics for effectiveness in the battlefield. He also has training in firearms and minor in MS technical training to maintain his Gundams. Entrusted with the power of Trial System, Tieria had the ability to disable any unit that mis-uses Veda or a Gundam for prosecution. Due to Ribbons Almark's tampering with Veda (AD 2307, season 1) Tieria was locked away access to Veda and couldn't interface his Gundam to activate Trial.

During the 5-year gap (AD 2312, Season 2), Tieria further enhanced his training in aspects of MS engineering, ship piloting, and use of Ptolemy's fire control system; making him a more versatile Gundam Meister. Tieria's brainwaves can be enhanced through exposure to high-grade and concentrated GN particles, stimulating his quantum abilities. After Tieria's consciousness was transferred to Veda, Tieria had full control of the resources Innovators had access to, including remote access to Seraphim Gundam for Trial.

Inception
Tieria was created by Celestial Being through an incubation chamber. Just like the rest of the Innovades, much of his development was closely monitored by Veda up until his release to human society. Not much of Tieria's early life had been revealed; not even the definite time when he was activated. However, it was revealed that in AD 2302, Tieria had been considered by Veda as a candidate Third Generation Gundam Meister.

Becoming a Gundam Meister
In 2302 AD, Tieria was assigned to engage in a mock battle using the test Mobile Suit, GN-005/PH Gundam Virtue Physical, against GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel and GNR-000 GN Sefer, piloted by Gundam Meisters Grave Violento and Hixar Fermi. During the mock battle, GN Sefer was critically damaged and its pilot, Hixar Fermi, was injured. The mock battle was immediately halted and Hixar was taken away for treatment.

After the incident, Grave found out from Veda that Tieria showed great concern about Hixar, inquiring about the injured pilot's condition multiple times. Because of Tieria's human heart, Grave approved of him to become a Gundam Meister.

In the year 2306 AD, Tieria was officially given the GN-005 Gundam Virtue (and in extension the GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh) to operate. He joined his fellow Gundam Meisters Allelujah Haptism, Lockon Stratos and Setsuna F. Seiei to prepare for the Armed Interventions that Celestial Being will partake in 2307 AD.

During the introduction of Setsuna F. Seiei to the team, Tieria and Allelujah questions Setsuna's appointment as a Gundam Meister, for they thought he was too young for the job. However, since Veda approved of Setsuna, Tieria didn't further challenged Setsuna's appointment for the position.

World Armed Intervention Campaign
The year is now 2307. Gundam Meisters Setsuna and Lockon had been sent to Earth to destroy the prototype AEU-09 AEU Enact and expose the AEU's over-militarization in their orbital elevator.

Tieria and Allelujah remained on board the Ptolemy, preparing on their own armed intervention.

Heaven's Pillar Debut
At the Human Reform League's 10 Year Anniversary of the completion of their orbital elevator, Heaven's Pillar, a terrorist group infiltrated HRL space with the intention to destroy the space station. The unknown terrorist group piloted AEU Hellions to launch a barrage a missiles to damage and destroy the HRL orbital station. Allelujah/Kyrios and Tieria/Virtue were sortied to intercept the Hellions. Allelujah/Kyrios managed to destroy the bulk of the attacking group, but one Hellion was out of his reach and Tieria/Virtue intervened by vaporizing the last Hellion. The whole scene was recorded at a distance by a reporter(s) inside the space station and was featured in the news. It wasn't long Aeolia Schenberg's message of Celestial Being and their objectives was announced to the world.

Ceylon
Ethnic conflict existed in Ceylon (fmr. Sri Lanka) for centuries and now the HRL has intervened to side with the rebel Tamil Tigers to help control the area and install a power line over the country. Tieria/Virtue and Allelujah/Kyrios were launched from Ptolemy to intercept Setsuna/Exia and Lockon/Dynames for a group coordinated assault. Each Meister was assigned to engage specific targets and Tieria/Virtue was given instructions to eliminate forces surrounding Ceylon over the shoreline. Tieria/Virtue fired the GN Bazooka for a quick victory over a HRL carrier ship. As they finished their mission, Tieria questioned why did Veda chose Setsuna as a Meister since he always felt he was unqualified to be one.

Virtue was later packed into a cargo storage container, labeled under false contents on board a linear train and sent back into space. As the linear train reached close to it's destination, the container was ejected from space and Tieria/Virtue drifted back to Ptolemy to recharge GN particles back into the ship. Because Ptolemy was dependent on GN particles from solar furnaces, one Gundam usually had to remain. While the rest sortied for their mission in the Taribia Republic, Tieria/Virtue was absent for the mission..

Moralia
The micronation of Moralia, PMC Trust and AEU announced joint military operations to make a stand against Celestial Being. Tieria/Virtue sortied with the rest of the Gundam Meister's to Moralia to eliminate their forces as they were a source of conflict. Tieria/Virtue and Lockon/Dynames attacked one of Moralia's military bases and wiped out all the Hellions within. Patrick Colasour and his AEU Enact squadron targeted Tieria/Virtue to capture, but Tieria/Virtue fired his GN Cannons and eliminated the squadron. Patrick was the only one that made a last moment sharp turn to avoid the blast; he was forced to flee from the fight. The rest of the Gundams/Meister's were clearing remaining forces when Setsuna faced Ali Al-Saachez. Setsuna inexplicably exited out of his cockpit in the middle of live combat. No one knew his reasons for doing so, but his actions partially derailed their mission phase plans and was forced to accelerate their final mission phase, eliminate Moralia Command HQ.

As they flew through a canyon to infiltrate Moralia's Military Command, Tieria had a chat with Setsuna over the com. He threatened to shoot Setsuna in the back should he violate their code of operations again to protect the secrets of Celestial Being. Once the Gundams reached their destination, they annihilated their forces in less than 5 minutes of combat. Moralia fired white flares to signal their defeat and submission to Celestial Being. Since Celestial Being had no intentions of conquering, they left the Moralian forces to their own devices.

Setsuna's Reasons
After the mission was over, the Meisters flew back to their island hideout and had a chat with Setsuna about his inexplicable stunt back at Moralia. Lockon was furious with Setsuna and punched him to the ground. Lockon reminded him that a meister's identity and security of their solar furnaces are S-level items and demanded an answer. Setsuna looked away in silence, but Lockon wasn't satisfied with just empty explanations. Tensions were raised as Tieria drew his gun on Setsuna. Lockon tried to stop Tieria, but he reasoned that Setsuna has made stupid decisions and put them all at risk. Setsuna pulled out his gun as well, Lockon unsuccessfully tells Setsuna to put his gun down. Allelujah's interjected and reminded Tieria that they were all chosen by Veda for a reason. Both of them withdrew their sidearms, with Tieria expecting Setsuna to show him why he's a Gundam Meister. Lockon and Tieria were baffled when Setsuna said his existence is enough to explain why he's a Meister. Lockon's orange Haro tried to get everyone to get along, but was washed away by the ocean tide (he found his way back though).

Lockon's Anger
Shortly after their confrontation with Setsuna, Ian Vashti ran to the Gundam Meisters to inform them there has been simultaneous terrorist bombings across the globe. Wang Liu Mei informed Lockon and the Meisters that an unknown terrorist group is blackmailing Celestial Being to cease their actions or more people will die. Lockon and the rest of the group was told to be on standby as an investigation is underway. Tieria mocked the terrorists for even trying to stop them from achieving their goals. Lockon was offended with Tieria's words, but Tieria reminded Lockon that to the world, they are terrorist themselves. Lockon responded on anger, "So am I wrong to hate terrorists!?" Setsuna commented that they'll end their terrorism with armed intervention, as Celestial Being.

Eliminating La Eden
It was later discovered that the group responsible for the bombings were a group called La Eden. After some investigation, the world intentionally leaked information to reveal the whereabouts of La Eden's terrorist cells and Celestial Being obliged to eliminate them. Tieria/Virtue headed to the Marshall Islands of the HRL to locate and destroy La Eden's main base. Tieria/Virtue wiped out the terrorist cell with the blast of its shoulder GN Cannons. With the combined efforts of Celestial Being, La Eden was destroyed and they resumed normal operations.

HRL Gundam Capture Operation
Unlike the AEU and the Union, the HRL was determined to capture at least one Gundam. HRL command assigned Sergei Smirnov to lead the operation. Sergei laced their area of space with e-sensors to detect Celestial Being (by searching for the largest amount of blackout space). Setsuna just returned to Ptolemy for major system maintenance over Exia and was greeted by the passive aggressive stares of Tieria. The tension between the two in the cafeteria was so tense that Christina Sierra couldn't enjoy her meal and returned to her station. It was then she noticed the warnings on her screen about the e-sensors and warned everyone that they have been discovered.

Two carriers seemed to be making a pincer attack upon Ptolemy and Sumeragi dispatched the Gundams. Allelujah/Kyrios and Tiera/Virtue would destroy the two side MS transport carriers and circle behind the main attack force to finish them off. Sergei Smirnov modified his attack plan to only distract the rest of Celestial Being and capture a single Gundam unit. Due to Allelujah's unique brainwaves, he was disabled by the presence of Soma Pieris and was quickly shipped away into a HRL carrier for immediate abstraction. Tieria/Virtue's assigned target was discovered to be a diversion as the carrier he destroyed had no one inside. Tieria/Virtue double-back to Allelujah's position and engaged the space Tieren's. It was there he realized Alleluja/Kyrios was captured by the enemy. Tieria judged Allelujah Haptism unfit to be a Gundam Meister and was prepared to fire his GN Bazooka when he was intercepted by Soma/Taozi. In between this time, Hallelujah took over Allelujah and destroyed the carrier from the inside and fled.

Tieria/Virtue was battling against 9 Tierens. Six Tierens has tied and restrained Virtue's movements with cables and immobilizing adhesives. Even then Virtue was still able to tug the 6 Tieren's holding him, attempting to escape. Sergei/Tieren wanted Soma/Taozi to severe something off Gundam to immobilize Virtue, but Tieria activated his trump card. The Gundam Virtue armor broke free and revealed the GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh. Tieria/Nadleeh retrieved Virtue's shoulder GN Cannons and fired upon the Tierens. Six Tierens were instantly destroyed and Sergei decided to retreat. Tieria was emotionally upset that he was forced to use Gundam Nadleeh so early in their operations. The crew of Ptolemy retrieved the Gundams for repairs.

The Super Soldier Institute
While the Ptolemy and Gundams are under repairs/maintenance, a sub mission was proposed by Allelujah. In his mission proposal, he details the location and illegal actions of the HRL experimenting on children to be super soldiers. Sumeragi approved the plan and Tieria/Virtue was to provide backup. Tieria was in direct link with Veda and replayed the conversation Allelujah had with Sumeragi to understand the nature of the mission. Ptolemy launched Allelujah/Kyrios and Tieria/Virtue at Lagrange 4, towards HRL's space colony, Complete Sphere While Allelujah was busy infiltrating the HRL spacing colony, Tieria/Virtue provided backup. While starting their mission, Tieria thought outloud, "If this past is what's hindering him, then he needs to handle it on his own. That's what it means to be a Gundam Meister." Three space Tierens appeared to attack them, but Tieria/Virtue vaporized them. Tieria/Virtue continues to hold off enemy MS units until Allelujah/Kyrios completed the mission. It wasn't long the Super Human Research Facility was destroyed and they returned to Ptolemy.

Priority of Gundam Meisters
Ptolemy and its crew headed down to Earth for a brief R & R. Tieria stayed in Wang Liu Mei's mansion along with the Ptolemy crew. He was down at the computer terminal, evaluating the progress of Celestial Being. During his evaluation, he remarked, "Since Celestial Being began intervening, worldwide armed conflict has dropped by 38%...63% of munitions companies have gone out of business...comparing our statistics alone, we're on course with Veda's predict plan. The problem is that Dynames' anti-orbital capabilities and GN-004, Nadleeh, were exposed to the world and then there's Setsuna F. Seiei (considering him a liability from that incident in Moralia).

Sumeragi returned from her meeting with Billy Katagiri and talked to Tieria about their next upcoming mission. Sumeragi tells Tieria that they'll be intervening at the Taklamakan desert. Their goal is to stop an unknown group of terrorists from assaulting a nuclear facility to prevent a worldwide radiation catastrophe; there was concern for the Gundam Meisters as the 3 world powers will be performing military exercises near the area and likely encounter formidable resistance. Tieria replied, "Even if they do, we are Celestial Being. Gundam Meisters prioritize completing our objectives and concealing our secrets over protecting their own lives. We decided that much before we boarded our Gundams. No, without those qualities, you can't even ride a Gundam." The Meisters sortied with their Gundams the following day.

Intervention in the Taklamakan Desert
The Gundam Meisters were assigned to stop a group of terrorists from assaulting a nuclear facility, to prevent worldwide catastrophic radiation contamination; meanwhile a joint war exercise was being performed by HRL, AEU, and Union nearby and there was anticipation of formidable retaliation. It was publicly announced to be a war exercise, but it was a trap for Celestial Being. Even though the Meisters' fully knew that what they were about to intervene was a potential deadly trap, they entered the Taklamakan Desert, knowing they might be captured or killed.

Intervening in the Taklamakan Desert, Tieria/Virtue teamed up with Setsuna/Exia for their mission to eliminate conflict. They knew Lockon/Dynames and Allelujah/Kyrios were held down by enemy fire and so Tieria/Virtue used Burst Mode to create a large trench for them to escape. As the battle wages on, they continue to fight off waves of mobile suits and barrage of ballistics. Tieria used GN Field for protection for some time, but after nearly 16 hours of operation, Setsuna and Tieria split apart after the last wave. While hovering away, Patrick Colasour/Enact and four Hellions appeared to capture Virtue. The Hellions took advantage of Virtue's slow mobility to quickly imprison him in a energy field. The energy field not only constricted movement, but also affected Tiera's ability to pilot Virtue.

Moments later, while Patrick Colasour and his Hellion squad transported Tieria away, a red GN Beam eliminated all the Hellions and flew off. Tieria was able to recover and noticed the mobile suit that flew off emitted red GN particles. After all the Gundams were rescued by the Thrones, the Trinitys left rendevous coordinates for the Meisters for a meeting. The Meisters regrouped and returned to Ptolemy to meet the Trinitys.

Meeting Team Trinity & Campaign Halt
While the crew of Ptolemy and Meister's discussed the mysterious nature of the Throne Gundams and their Meister's, they agreed to meet in space at a specified place and time. The Trinity siblings agreed to meet on board Ptolemy and introduced themselves. During their meeting, Tieria wanted to know many things, but the Trinity gave no answers. Frustrated, Tieria left the room to Veda's terminal. As he approached the terminal, he was surprised to find the terminal hatch open. He demanded to know who was inside and he found Nena Trinity exiting the terminal. He wanted to know how she gained access and she implied they she and Tieria are the same kind. Team Trinity left Ptolemy shortly, but left a lot of un-answered questions and suspicions about them.

Sumeragi subsequently decided to halt the team from all major operations due their suspicions about Team Trinity and their ruthless tactics. It was deemed until they understand the situation better, they kept themselves at a distance until they understand Team Trinity's intentions. Without making any public explanations about Team Trinity, the team discreetly dissociated themselves from the Trinitys while the world presumes the Thrones are part of Celestial Being's overall MS force.

Trinity Armed Intervention Campaign
The Trinity's began their own missions, attacking military bases and wiping everyone in the process. Such total annihilation tactics only made Setsuna and Tieria weary of their actions, but they kept their distance until everything was better understood. It didn't take long that Ian Vashti revealed the Throne Gundams are using fake solar furnaces. Their GN Drives were missing a component called a TD Blanket and without it affects the Throne Gundams GN particles with a reddish hue. To everyone, this was strong indication that these Meister's are fakes and copied their technology. To further support their suspicions, Veda always disclosed information to Tieria, but there was sensitive information at the highest level (Level 7) that was forbidden for him to access. It wasn't long before reports came in that the Thrones had made a random attack on civilians in Spain (Louise's family) and infuriated Setsuna to attack them without prior approval. Tieria also felt the same way and sortied to backup Setsuna.

Meisters Vs Meisters
While Setsuna/Exia was fighting Michael/Zwei, Tieria/Virtue joined the fight with Setsuna/Exia. This was the first time the two saw eye-to-eye and began using battle formations against the Thrones. Tieria/Virtue engaged Nena/Drei and Johann/Eins. After stopping the two from forming the GN Mega Launcher, Virtue's mobility was a liability and Tieria switched to Gundam Nadleeh and activated its secret,Trial System. Trial System emitted an energy wave that had a paralyzing affect on the two Throne Gundams. Tieria judged them unfit to be Gundam Meisters and was about to eliminate Johann/Eins and Nena/Drei when Trial suddenly shut off and the Throne Gundams recovered. Tieria immediately wondered why Veda switched him off and quickly realizes it has something to do with the forbidden data he couldn't access earlier. The Gundam Throne Meister's made a tactical retreat, but Johann intentionally left incriminating information regarding Setsuna's KPSA past in relation to Lockon's vengeance.

Lockon's Confrontation
The Gundam Meister's found a place for a private conversation. While Lockon confronted Setsuna over KPSA, Tieria watched on the side and listened on Setsuna's explanations. As Setsuna explains his past days as a guerrilla for KPSA, he also explains his reasons for opening his cockpit in Moralia, to confirm whether it was Ali Al-Saachez, the man who claimed to be fighting for God in Krugis. Seeing how Lockon wanted to avenge his family, Tieria was worried that Lockon might kill Setsuna. In then end, tensions ceased and they even laughed at Setsuna's idolization over Exia.

UN Forces Counteroffensive
The 3 world powers acquired 30 GN-X's from a Celestial Being traitor, Laguna Harvey, and a new phase of warfare began. Not only was the world able to defend themselves against the Gundams, they know how to find them now. In between this time Alejandro Corner discovered Veda's core terminal and had Ribbons Almark hack into the system to control Veda/Celestial Being. With their first successful defense against the Throne Gundams, the world powers united their military power into the United Nations Forces and began missions to seek and destroy Celestial Being.

While the Curse Jinx Squad chased Team Trinity, AEU and Union UN forces also engaged the Ptolemy. All the Gundams sortied and fought off the GN-X's. Tieria/Virtue had difficulty because the GN Rifles they use was effective against him. While battling, Alejandro Corner had Ribbons shut down the Gundams and the units were paralyzed in the middle of live combat. Tieria/Virtue attempted to reconnect with Veda and because of that, he disrupted the backup OS system that Sumeragi had implemented. While the rest of the Gundams reactivated, Tieria/Virtue remained immobilized and Patrick Colasour made his move to eliminate Tieria/Virtue. Lockon/Dynames took the blow for Tieria/Virtue, but critically damaged both pilot and mobile suit. Patrick was about to take another stab at Tieria/Virtue with his beam saber when Lasse/GNR-001E GN Arms Type E intervened and UN Forces retreated. Tieria thought his time was up, but Lockon's sacrifice made Tieria wrought with guilt over the matter. Even though Lockon survived, Tieria felt he lost his edge and felt unfit to be a Gundam Meister. Lockon comforted him to let him know that making mistakes is what makes them human. Shortly after, they had a meeting over the current state of things and Setsuna volunteered a solo mission to investigate matters between UN Forces and the Gundam Thrones.

Setsuna's Confirmations
While Curse Jinx Squad was confronting Team Trinity, Tieria and the rest of the Ptolemy group observes them on the news. The group is contemplating the possibility of defeat as the world has the power to crush them and it was part of Aeolia Schenberg's plan. Setsuna questions the purpose of the Gundams regardless of the situation. Setsuna wonders are current events considered right as the Thrones and the UN Forces were only increasing conflict. He believes that Gundams should end wars, not escalate them. Lockon finished what Setsuna wanted to say, that the fight between the Thrones and UN Forces is a source of conflict that should be stopped. Allelujah objected to the suggestion, "That's insane! We're already near exhaustion and we can't use the space elevators either. In the last battle, Exia and Dynames were traced by the enemy..." Lockon replies, "Celestial Being cannot remain silent." Setsuna intends to go alone and wanted to confirm, "What purpose do the Gundams serve?". Lockon wanted to join Setsuna, but Lasse volunteered instead (in consideration of Lockon's injuries) to go with Setsuna with Assault Container (it has atmospheric re-entry and exit capabilities) and test GN Arms. In spite of concerns/objections, Sumeragi approved Setsuna's mission and gave him a mission plan for him to us. Setsuna and Lasse headed to Earth to fulfill his mission.

Aeolia's Message
While stationed at Ptolemy, waiting for Setsuna's return and anticipating UN Forces, a series of events happened to trigger the following event. Alejandro Corner just killed Aeolia Schenberg. Around the same time, Setsuna/Exia just engaged Ali Al-Saachez/Throne Zwei in a desperate battle of ideals. Coupled with these events, Aeolia Schenberg's system trap activated and released the 5 solar furnace's Trans-Am system and made a sudden appearance in a brief video to all of Celestial Being:

To those who use GN Drives:
 * I don't know whether you will carry my will, however I entrust you my final hope to you, full utilization of your GN Drives. I hope that you will use them and fight your hardest for the sake of ending war and bringing about a new peace. Not for the sake of Celestial Being, but for the sake of your own wills, as those who have Gundams.

Second Round
While waiting for Setsuna and Lasse to return from Earth, Tieria and the Ptolemy crew had for the Lagrange 1 resource sattelite to repair the Ptolemaios and give field upgrades to the Gundams. Virtue would receive a spare GN Bazooka. Tieria, along with Lockon and Allelujah, attended a meeting with Sumeragi. She explained to them that although Trans-Am gives the Gundams three times its normal output for 3 minutes, but the Gundams are severely depleted of particles once the time limit is up. They then receive a message from Setsuna, who tells the crew that the UN Forces are on their way to outer space, and that the Throne Zwei has been captured by Ali Al-Saachez (see Purpose of Gundams). Before launching, Tieria locks Lockon in his room to prevent him from going out into battle.

While engaged in battle, Tieria/Virtue is being chased by a team of 8 GN-X's who begin firing upon him. Tieria/Virtue then deploys the GN Field, which negates their attacks. However, Ali/Throne Zwei appears from behind an asteroid and begins rapid firing on Tieria/Virtue, who responds by firing both the GN Cannons and the twin GN Cannons at the same time. Ali/Zwei manuevers parallel to the incoming beam and launches 4 GN Fin Fangs. Tieria/Virtue destroys two of them but the other two penetrate the GN Field, destroying the spare bazooka and slightly damaging Virtue as Ali/Zwei retreats. The team of GN-X's then resume firing upon Tieria. Tieria/Virtue is cornered by a group of GN-X's when the Trans-Am System activates on Virtue, allowing Tieria to fire a massive beam blast, but depleting most of his particles as another team of GN-X's fire upon him. Suddenly, a few of the GN-X's are eliminated by a large beam cannon. Lockon/GNR-001D GN Arms Type D comes out to support Tieria and Allelujah and destroy the three Virginia-Class Carrier ships. Lockon/Dynames, after losing the GN Armor, eventually duels Ali/Zwei and damages the Zwei, but eventually dies from an exploding GN Cannon. When Setsuna returns from Earth, Tieria grabs ahold of Setsuna and blames his ideals for dividing up their fighting strength.

Last Stand
With the Virtue Particle armor heavily damaged from the last fight, Ian removes the armor and has the Gundam deployed as Nadleeh, equipped with a custom GN Beam Rifle and ''GN Shield. ''Tieria/Nadhleeh and Allelujah/Kyrios sortied to face off UN Forces one last time. While Allelujah/Kyrios focused on the Curse Jinx Squadron, Tieria/Nadleeh focused on AEU's GN-X squadron. Tieria/Nadhleeh took out several GN-X units and decided to activate Trans-Am to finish the battle. Suddenly, Alejandro/Alvatore fired a second particle beam shot towards Ptolemy. Tieria/Nadleeh was caught in between the blast and had his left MS leg incinerated. Tieria/Nadleeh didn't recover fast enough to anticipate beam firing from Patrick/GN-X and his teammate. The two GN-X units blew most of Nadleeh's limbs away. With only the right MS arm, Tieria/Nadleeh fired two shots at the same time receiving a blow to Nadleeh's head. Nadleeh was damaged beyond repair and Tieria used his last strength to eject his GN Drive for Celestial Being to recover.

Recovery & Rebuilding
After the end of their battle, Tieria/Nadleeh drifted aimlessly in space to wait for rescue. Fereshte came to help recover Tieria and the GN Drive he ejected earlier. Fon Spaak was ordered by Hanayo to recover the GN Drive and rescue Tieria, but Fon only took the solar furnace and left Tieria behind out of mischief. Another unidentified member(s) of Celestial Being had to go recover Tieria and had him treated for his injuries (either at L1, L3, CBS-68 Euclides or Krung Thep, they never specified where he went).

After recovering, Tieria has assisting CB by helping them rebuild their facilities and under went new training (ship piloting and weapons control systems) to allow him to pilot CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2. By AD 2312, Tieria and the rest of Celestial Being recovered sufficiently to begin stealth operations in between developing 00 Gundam and searching for their comrades.

Celestial Being Returns
The year is now 2312 (4 years later), the authoritarian Earth Sphere Federation (AEU, Union, and HRL united as a single entity) has begun an aggressive campaign of unification through their autonomous military force, A-Laws. The united and peaceful world never came, it has only evolved into another source of conflict. Tieria and the rest of Celestial Being quietly prepared for their return to destroy A-Laws.

Searching for Setsuna at Proud
Tieria had been assisting Ian in his Twin Drive System test runs on GN-0000 00 Gundam with little success as well assisting in piloting the Ptolemaios 2. With all possible GN Drive combinations attempted upon 00, Gundam Exia was the last one untested; Setsuna and Exia had been missing for abouts 5 yrs. Intelligence from Wang Liu Mei came in about A-Laws, going to intercept Katharon rebel forces at space colony Proud. Tieria decided to sortie with his new GN-008 Seravee Gundam in search of Setsuna F. Seiei. He believed that if Setsuna was alive, he would be at Proud.

While heading to Proud, Tieria saw Setsuna/Exia Repair in trouble and defenseless. Tieria fired upon A-Laws to draw their attention. Seravee was too formidable and the remains of A-Laws retreated to their mothership. Tieria then met with Setsuna in Proud's airlock to talk. Their conversation was interrupted when Saji Crossroad demanded answers from Setsuna. Saji took Setsuna's sidearm and demanded Setsuna to give back the things he's lost because of Celestial Being. Tieria could only watch the situation develop (apparently he didn't bring a gun) before his eyes, but ultimately Saji never shot Setsuna. Tieria later took the two back to Ptolemy 2. Tieria sent Saji in Ptolemy's brig for holding.

At the brig, Tieria questioned Saji why he didn't kill Setsuna. Saji reasoned he didn't want to be killers like them. Tieria tells Saji that he should be grateful to Setsuna because if he hadn't brought him along, he would've likely faced death from the ESF due to his mistaken ties with Katharon; Saji defiantly couldn't believe what Tieria said. Tieria then told Saji that he's too unaware of his reality and challenged his actions after realizing the truth of the world. He left Saji alone and resumed testing with 00's Twin Drive System.

Defending Ptolemy & 00's Activation
While running tests on 00, the crew received intel from Wang Liu Mei that A-Laws will intercept them soon. With only Seravee at their disposal, the crew gambled on Setsuna to activate 00 Gundam while Tieria hold off A-Laws. Tieria/Seravee sortied and Ptolemy II fired a salvo of GN Cluster Missiles to disperse explosive-jamming particles to slow them down. Tieria/Seravee used his GN Double Bazooka to ignite the cluster field, but several GN-X's survived the blast and engaged Seravee.

Tieria was engaging an Ahead and couldn't defend Ptolemy II. A GN-X found 00 in the linear catapult launch bay of Ptolemy and attempted to destroy 00 before it could launch. 00 activated just in time and the GN particles blasted with such intensity that Tieria was able to witness its power emanating from Ptolemy II. Setsuna/00 sortied and defeated A-Laws. After surviving their first encounter with A-Laws, the crew welcomed back Sumeragi; to everyone's surprise, a living Lockon Stratos appears before the crew, Tieria realized that this Lockon wasn't the original. Later, Wang Liu Mei handed intel regarding Allelujah Haptism's whereabouts.

Rescue Allelujah Haptism
After finding out Allelujah was held at a Federation anti-government dentention facility, the crew had a meeting about a rescue plan. Everyone encouraged Sumeragi for her assistance, but it was Setsuna that convinced her to lend her tactical expertise. Tieria and the crew were later informed of their roles in a 5 min blitzkrieg assault mission plan by Sumeragi.

While prepping for their rescue operation, Feldt sent Tieria a prisoner list of the detainees with a person of interest, Princess Marina Ismail. As Tieria/Seravee and Setsuna/00 were on standby for launch, Tieria informed Setsuna of Marina's attendance in the prisoner database. Setsuna tells Tieria he intends to rescue Marina Ismail in their 3 min jailbreak.

Ptolemy II caused a tsunami to create panic and confusion as Tieria/Seravee and Setusna/00 infiltrated the facility. Tieria/Seravee destroyed the beam cannons to clear the way for them to land. 00 Gundam crashed into the side of the building and Setsuna proceeded on foot to locate Allelujah and Marina. Tieria/Seravee protected an empty 00 Gundam for the next 3 min until Setsuna's return. Tieria/Seravee was harassed by GN-X's, but was able to hold his position until Setsuna's return. As they got ready to leave, Tieria warned Allelujah that their time was up and they had to go. As the Meisters flew upwards, several GN-X IIIs stood in their way. Setsuna/00 and Allelujah/Arios decapitated the units and destroyed their weapons, Tieria/Seravee would follow up with a powerful particle beam blast to vaporize them and the Gundams retreated to Ptolemy II.

Back on board Ptolemy II, Tieria gives Allelujah a cup of coffee and wondered why he got caught by the Federation. Allelujah couldn't answer as he was shocked at a living Lockon Stratos. Allelujah wanted to know how Lockon survived, but no one gave him an answer. Tieria commented how Allelujah didn't change and welcomed him back to the team.

Underwater Attack
Ptolemy II and its crew were heading to Azadistan to drop off Marina Ismail at her homeland. While heading there, A-Laws tracked down Ptolemy II and began a underwater assault against them. A-Laws dispatched their latest model to attack them, the mobile armor GNMA-04B11 Trilobite. Ptolemy II was hit by a GN Torpedo that could penetrate through Ptolemy II's GN Field, Tieria had to quickly suit up and waited inside Seravee as their MS container is flooded with sea water. Once Ptolemy II reached at a safe depth to sortie, the container opened the floor hatch for Tieria/Seravee to launch.

The Trilobite was attempting to create as much damage to the hull of Ptolemy II to sink it, but Tieria/Seravee attempted to push the mobile armor back. The Trilobite was difficult to push back, Tieria/Seravee had to execute Trans-Am to push Trilobite away from Ptolemy II. The Trilobite wasn't about to give up and used its front grappling claws to attack Tieria/Seravee. Lockon/Cherudim provided beam cover fire to free Tieria/Seravee from the attack and Setsuna/00 finished off Trilobite. Setsuna/00 and Allelujah/Arios headed to the surface to finish off A-Laws as Lockon/Cherudim and Tieria/Seravee stayed with Ptolemy II.

The fight was evenly matched, but the sudden appearance of Katharon convinced A-Laws to make a tactical retreat. After the battle, there was a request by Katharon for Marina Ismail. Setsuna went with Marina to check out Katharon. It was then thaht former Azadistan aid Shirin Bakhtiar appeared to Marina and requested Celestial Being for a meeting.

Katharon Meeting
Celestial Being agreed to Katharon's invitation and entered the Rub' al Khali desert for a meeting. Lockon/Cheridum and Allelujah/Arios escorted Setsuna, Tieria, Sumeragi, Marina, and Saji (riding a Celestial Being VTOL craft ) to the Katharon secret base. While heading there, Tieria comments how Katharon isn't likely to be found hidden here and Lyle followed up on his words. Lyle comments how the desert is laced with GN particle emitters to help choke development in the middle east, but the jamming effect GN particles have also prevents Katharon from being discovered. Tieria thought he was well informed, but Lyle brushed it off as common sense. As they entered the Katharon hanger, many members gathered to greet them. The rebels were most enthusiastic to see the faces of their idols and against Tieria's reminder of their code of secrecy, Lyle unmasked himself to greet them.

Tieria and Allelujah didn't attend the meeting, they waited at the hanger until they finished. Back on board their VTOL craft, Setsuna was approved by Sumeragi to take the VTOL craft to return Marina Ismail back to Azadistan. Tieria made sarcastic remark, "If you feel like it, feel free to stay there for good." Setsuna replied, "Don't be stupid." Allelujah wondered what happened to Tieria in the last 4 years for him to tell a joke. Tieria replied, "I was being serious", Allelujah had a surprised reaction. Tieria then said, "That was a joke" and left the matter at that. Tieria and the rest the group shortly leaves the Katharon base.

Katharon Massacre
While back in Ptolemy II, Wang Liu Mei informs Celestial Being of A-Laws' immanent attack upon the Katharon base. The Ptolemy II and crew attempts to double back to Katharon's base to save them. Lockon/Cherudim, Tieria/Seravee, and Allelujah/Arios sorties to engage A-Laws. During the battle, the Meisters saw firsthand at the inhumane tactics the used against Katharon. Tieria/Seravee used his GN Double Bazooka Burst attack to destroy a GN-X III. The battle was short has A-Laws primary objective was to destroy Katharon and not face off Celestial Being, they retreated back to their sea MS carrier.

After fending off A-Laws, the Meisters went to see the damage on the Katharon base. One of the rebels accuses Celestial Being of leaking information to A-Laws and Tieria denied the accusation. The upset Katharon rebel demands revenge for his dead brothers and aims a gun at Tieria. Lockon pushed the gun away and convinces them they weren't responsible and promises to get revenge for them. Saji entered the area as a man filled with fear and guilt. Noticing his odd behavior, Tieria takes Saji to a private hallway to question him.

Confronting Saji
At the abandoned hallway, Tieria asked Saji, "What have you done? You knew. Who are you? An A-Laws spy?" Saji denied involvement with the Federation, but couldn't clearly explain himself either. Moments later, Saji was finally able to explain himself. Saji told Tieria how he tried to escape from Katharon, his detainment with the Federation army, and how the Federation tipped off A-Laws about Katharon. After hearing Saji's story, Tieria slapped Saji. Tieria said, "What an unbelievably moronic thing to do!" Saji guiltily replied, "I didn't think anything like this would happen...I just wanted to get away from the fighting." Tieria responded, "The one who took their lives from them was you! Through your own moronic actions! 'I'm different. It has nothing to do with me. It's all happening in a world separate from my own.' By turning away from reality like that, through your unconscious misdeeds, you're inviting just such an event." Saji could only say "I didn't intend..." and broke down. Setsuna just got back from Azadistan and walked into Tieria. Setsuna wanted to know what was going on and Tieria explained that A-Laws attacked the Katharon base and it was caused by Saji.

Later on board their VTOL craft, Setsuna reported his findings to Tieria and Allelujah about Azadistan razed by a Gundam. While suspecting it was the work of the Federation and talking about the appearance of a Gundam, the Meisters suddenly received news of Sumeragi's collapse and was ordered to return to Ptolemy II. As the Meisters prepare to return to Ptolemy II, Tieria tells Saji, "You're coming too. If we leave you here, who knows what you'll do next."

Defending Katharon
With the Katharon base destroyed by A-Laws and low on resources, Celestial Being offered food, supplies, and temporary protection to help them relocate to their alternate base. Timing was a concern because A-Laws might return to finish off what's left of Katharon. To prevent this, Tieria and the rest of the crew decides to distract and hold off A-Laws by luring them into a fight at the shoreline, giving surviving Katharon members time to escape. As Nena Trinity/Riian arrived with relief supplies and equipment, Tieria and the rest of the crew heads towards the coast to intercept A-Laws.

Tieria/Seravee and the rest of the Gundams sortied and engaged A-Laws mobile suits. Tieria/Seravee spent the duration of the battle shooting down enemy GN-X's. As the battle drags out, Setsuna/00 Gundam suffered a malfunction and was dead in the water. Lockon/Cherudim and Tieria/Seravee defended Setsuna/00 against A-Laws mobile suits until he could be recovered. Ptolemy II fired a pair of smokescreen torpedoes to confuse enemy units and A-Laws called for a tactical retreat.

Search & Rescue Allelujah
As A-Laws retreated, Allelujah/Arios couldn't be located and suspected to have crash landed somewhere around the middle eastern coast. A return call was made to the Meisters to regroup and re-sortie for a search & rescue operation. Computer data about Arios' last known position was used as the starting point to find Alleujah. Lockon/Cherudim and Tieria/Seravee sortied under heavy rain and low visibility throughout the night as they search for Allelujah. Tieria/Seravee and Lockon/Cherudim continued to search for Alleujah until the break of dawn. A sigh of relief came as Allelujah's safe recovery was reported in. Just then, an stranger interjects to say, "That's good news"

Tieria quickly pulled his gun out and pointed at the direction of the voice. The sun's glare was in Tieria's eyes so he couldn't see the person he was looking at too clearly. Tieria demanded to know who was there and asked the stranger how he found him. The stranger replies "Because we're two peas in the same pod" To Tieria's shock, he sees a person that looks exactly likes him (Regene Regetta).

Innovator Turmoil
While still in shock, Tieria asked, "Why do you look like me?" Regene replies "It's because we've got the same DNA. Base sequence pattern, 0988-type." Tieria wondered, "It couldn't be. Are you...?" Regene answered, "Innovator. Regene Regetta." Tieria was thinking about Innovators and to his surprise, Regene can communicate with him telepathically. Regene continued, "That's right. Having used GN particles as a catalyst, the ability to use quantum brainwaves is drawn out. Using them allows a direct link to Veda. Through gene manipulation and nano-machines, aging is suppressed. We are the beings essential to Aeolia Schenberg's plan. It can't be that you didn't know others like you existed, could it?" Tiera's reaction confirms he really didn't know and he re-focused his gun on Regene. Regene mockingly laughed and said, "It seems that as a Gundam Meister, information access to Veda was limited to you. In that case, I'll fill you in. Phase 1 of the plan as to have Celestial Being unify the world through armed interventions. Phase 2 is to unite the will of mankind through A-Laws. Phase 3 is to push humanity into outer space, fully equipped for coming interactions...That is Aeolia's plan in its entirety." Regene's telepathic words had left Tieria frozen in a state of high anxiety. Regene walked up to Tieria's right ear and verbally said, "That's right, those of us adapted to space environment are to guide mankind to a new frontier. To guide mankind to a new stage, a great wave is required. Yes, the wave called 'revolution'." Tieria reacted in disgust, "So you say we should sit back quietly and watch as A-Laws do such horrible things!?" Regene responded, "Revolution and suffering come together. You all should have come to that conclusion already, no? You all are becoming an obstacle to realizing Aeolia's plan. We were all brought to life for the sake of the plan. Our reason for being is to achieve the plan and that's what we'll do. You are a contradiction to your own existence" Tieria dropped his gun, as his confusion and anxiety overwhelmed him. Regene extended an invitation to Tieria, "Tieria Erde, come join us in guiding humanity, as a fellow Innovator. Don't rush to a decision. I'll come see you again. Because we are always connected, at all times." Regene left, but Tieria remained for a while until he returned to Ptolemy II. Unknown to Tieria, Ribbons Almark also monitored their conversation.

When Tieria/Seravee returned to Ptolemy II, Tieria was still conflicted. He reflected over his conversation with Regene Regetta and the invitation to Innovators. Tieria thought out loud, "Innovators...those who will realize the plan...If they are, then the path I must pursue is-" Suddenly, a familiar voice interjects, "Don't go pushing yourself into someone else's mold." Looking upon the reflection of the window, it was the fallen Lockon Stratos (Neil). Lockon continues to say, "You shouldn't get hung up on the little things. What you're thinking of is pretty dangerous. Old man Aeolia entrusted the Gundams to us." Tieria was still conflicted, but he took Lockon's words in strong consideration. He and the rest of the crew later attended a group meeting to watch the Federation on the news with new propaganda. The Federation spokeswoman talked about reorganizing the Middle East due to religious radicals, but everyone in Celestial Being knew better. Tieria couldn't help but reflect back on Regene's words on phase 2 of Aeolia's plan.

Federation Banquet Investigation
While getting an update on their repaired Gundams and news of their completed support units from Ian, Wang Liu Mei just called in. She sent news of a Federation banquet with prominent figures including an unknown figure of A-Laws attending the dinner. Tieria jumped at the chance to volunteer, "I want to see our true enemy with my own eyes." Setsuna volunteered to provide backup. Sumeragi allowed them both to go, but they had to follow her instructions to infiltrate the banquet.

Banquet Infiltration
Under Sumeragi's instructions, both Tieria and Setsuna brought their Gundams along and hidden them in a safe location before the investigation. Tieria then cross dressed as a upper class beauty, with a purple dress and accessories (breasts, makeup, woman's voice, etc) to complete the disguise. Setsuna dressed up as his chauffeur and escorted Tieria in a classic Rolls Royce-like car to enter the banquet. They successfully infiltrated the banquet with forged invitations and began their investigation. While Tieria mingled in the banquet, Setsuna remained outside the banquet on standby.

Tieria chattered with some influential men in the banquet to blend in while scouting for his target of interest. Wang Liu Mei and Hong Long also attended the banquet, Tieria only acknowledged Wang Liu Mei with a nod and continued her investigation. Tieria recognized Homer Katagiri and commented, "That's the commander of A-Laws, but he's not the only one I'm looking for. Where is the real enemy? Where?" Tieria continued to use her womanly charms, talking to 3 interested men about her hobby. One of the men offered to escort her sometime and she pretended to be interested. Tieria reflected with disgust, "Filthy leeches of the Federation's power!" Just then, a man in a Fauntleroy outfit introduces himself as Ribbons Almark and requested a dance with her. Tieria strongly suspects he's the true enemy he was looking for and accepted.

Dancing with The Enemy
Waltzing in the center of the ballroom, Federation guests had their eyes on the lovely couple, not knowing it was a personal chat between Innovators. Ribbons remarked about Tieria's disguise, "I never thought you'd show up wearing that." Tieria responded, "Everyone knows that the Meisters are men. I'm merely following our tactical strategist's orders. Where you the one who sent Regene Regetta to see me?" Ribbons replied, "No, he never listens to a word I say." Tieria inquired about Regene's words, "I heard you're attempting to realize Aeolia Schenberg's plan." Ribbons answered, "Don't believe me? If so, you're free to leave whenever you please." Ribbons then whispered to Tieria's right ear, "I can give you the ability to access Veda." Tieria tripped from the shock of what Ribbons told him. Ribbons quickly picked her up to continue dancing. Tieria wondered, "Ability to access? You gained control of it?" Ribbons smirked to acknowledge his hold on Veda. The dance shortly ended with the crowd clapping to their dance and Ribbons walked off, suggesting a change in scenery.

Tieria and Ribbons continued their conversation in a private Victorian room. Tieria asked, "Is it really true you seized control of Veda?" Ribbons replied "You should be able to remember it yourself." Tieria thought back when there was a forced cancellation with Trial System (a system that bonds Tieria and Veda to neutralize all Veda-linked MSs), during a fight with the Thrones. She then realizes that the person who gave false GN-Drives to UN Forces was Ribbons and wanted to know why. Ribbons answered, "Because obliteration of Celestial Being was called for in the plan. By all rights, your group was destroyed those 4 years ago." Tieria had difficulty accepting Ribbons' words. Tieria retorted, "The Tieria who was entrusted a Gundam by Aeolia thinks that you're wrong! That's right, I'll continue down the path I believe in! Even if you say it's foolish, even if you say it's reckless!" Ribbons mockingly laughed and said, "You've been influenced by the humans far more than I imagined. You allowed that man too far into your heart, that Lockon Stratos. A man who placed vengeance for his family above all else. A fool of a human!" Tieria was angered by Ribbons' words and pulled out his gun from his right thigh. He was going to shoot Ribbons when a stranger shoots the gun from her hand. The stranger introduces herself as Hilling Care, another Innovator. Tieria was at a disadvantage and she jumped out of the second floor window to escape. Setsuna's cover was also blown (by Billy Katagiri), both discarded their disguises and retreated to their Gundams.

Battling Ali Al-Saachez
While Setsuna/00 and Tieria/Seravee headed back to Ptolemy II, Setsuna apologized for getting his cover blown. Tieria commented "Even so, I found it, Setsuna. The distortion of the world. That's right. With the Gundams, we'll eliminate the distortion of the world!" Just then Ali Al-Saachez/GNW-20000 Arche Gundam appeared for a fight. Ali drew his GN Buster Sword and announced, "Alright, why don't we get started! A war between Gundams of epic proportions!" Ali/Arche quickly launched his GN Fangs II for an immediate assault. Setsuna/00 and Tieria/Seravee had difficulty shooting down the GN Fangs II as they are faster and more maneuverable. Ali/Arche attacked Setsuna/00 while his GN Fangs II kept Tieria/Seravee distracted. As they clashed swords, Ali mentioned how he was badly burnt from his last encounter with Celestial Being and wanted them to pay with their lives for his medical treatments. Ali/Arche manage to smash his sword hard onto Setsuna/00, pushing Setsuna/00 a good distance with every successive strike. Tieria/Seravee intervened and tried shoot down Ali/Arche with Twin Buster Cannon, but Ali/Arche destroyed his GN Bazooka. Tieria/Seravee charged through to grab onto Ali/Arche with both of Seravee's MS arms. Tieria told Ali, "I'll take his revenge for him!" Ali replied, "He got what was coming to him! He was the one who came out on the battlefield despite not being able to see from his right eye!" Seravee's lower right GN Cannon transformed into a third MS arm, loaded with a GN Beam Saber and failed to pierce him as Ali/Arche evaded. Ali/Arche also revealed GN Beam Sabers built into the feet of Arche Gundam. Ali/Arche cut off Seravee's right knee GN Cannon with a beam saber kick. Setsuna/00 charged to strike Ali/Arche, but Ali/Arche blocked the attack. Tieria/Seravee and Setsuna/00 double-teamed on Ali/Arche, but Ali/Arche launched his GN Fangs II while crossing swords and shot both Gundams. Ali/Arche intended to finish both of them off when Lockon/Cherudim and Allelujah/Arios came for backup. Knowing the odds are against him, Ali retreated to safety. Tieria still wanted to chase Ali, but Allelujah stopped him. Tieria explained the man that just fled was Lockon's nemesis. The Gundam Meisters returned to Ptolemy II under Sumeragi's orders.

Return to Lagrange 3
Ptolemy II and it's crew prepare to return to space. Sumeragi predicted that they will encounter an inescapable situation by A-Laws in a matter of 12 hours. There was also a need for repairs, maintenance, upgrades, and picking up the new support units from Lagrange 3. Feldt and Meileina prepares for atmospheric exit sequence.

Fighting for Change
Lockon and Tieria walked into the briefing room to continue about Ali Al-Saachez. Tieria told Lyle that Ali was the Gundam pilot who took Neil's life. After learning the details leading to Neil's death, he couldn't help but chuckle to know his brother put his grudge above changing the world (a nostalgic characteristic of Neil's). Tieria wondered Lyle's reaction a problem against his brother, but Lyle said he respected him. He then said, "Our family died over 10 years ago. I can't brood over it as much as he did." Setsuna then asked Lyle, "Even if that nemesis is in front of you right now?" Tieria and Allelujah wanted to stop Setsuna from mentioning the subject, but he felt it was something that must be said. Setsuna explained to Lyle that he was formally KPSA, the same group that involved his family's death. He tells him how his comrades infiltrated places for suicide attacks. One of his comrades blew up the very building that killed Lockon's family. Setsuna felt if he had stopped his comrades from those suicide missions, Lockon/Neil wouldn't have become a Gundam Meister and died in battle. Lockon replied, "Even if you had stopped them that time, terrorism would still continue. There's no changing that. It's all in the past. There's no point in moping over what's already happened. That's right. We're not fighting fo the past, we're fighting for the future." Tieria reacted with confusion and walked out of the room. He thought to himself, "Living in accordance with my own sense of justice, but is that connected to the real future? By opposing the Innovators..the real future..."

Tieria later went to a observation room to privately sort his thoughts out when Setsuna came. Setsuna wanted to know about the distortion Tieria mentioned earlier before Ali distracted them. Tieria's thoughts reflected about his recent encounters with Innovators and Lockon's words, the mental turmoil was heavy on him. Tieria was about to say something when Ptolemy II sounded off a tactical alert. Six Trilobites are about to attack and crew is instructed for battle stations.

Trans-Am Launch
Ptolemy II was under attack as they prepared for atmospheric exit. To ensure the safety of the ship and its crew, Sumeragi had Lockon/Cherudim, Allelujah/Arios, and Tieria/Seravee activate their Trans-Am Systems to enhance the propulsion and GN Field of Ptolemy II to launch into space. After a rocky entry into space, their Trans-Am Systems deactivated when they were under attack by A-Laws forces. Lockon/Cherudim, Allelujah/Arios, and Tieria/Seravee couldn't sortie until their GN Drives recharged. Fortunately, Setsuna/00 sortied during atmosphere exit (in anticipation of A-Laws) and saved the day.

Innovator Encounter
A new unidentified MS unit (GNZ-005 Garazzo), suspected from A-Laws, darted towards Ptolemy II at incredible speeds. With Seravee Gundam still under repairs from the last fight with Ali Al-Saachez, Tieria couldn't sortie. He instead assisted with Lasse by taking the helm as ship's gunner. Setsuna/00 sortied to engage the new A-Laws MS model and everyone was surprised to see it can deploy a GN Field. Tieria provided cover fire with Ptolemy II's GN Flak Cannons. While watching Setsuna/00 combat, Tieria was surprised to see the new model capable of overpowering 00 Gundam. The new model didn't fight long and left after Lockon/Cheridum sortied to help Setsuna/00. As the crew makes haste to return to Lagrange 3, Tieria thinks to himself, "There's not doubt. The pilot of that new model is an Innovator."

Maintenance at L3
Tieria and the rest of the Ptolemy crew entered the L3 base after docking. Tieria was introduced to Linda Vashti (Ian's wife and Meleina's mom) and Anew Returner. While the rest of the members went to check out their new support units, GNR-101A GN Archer for Arios and GNR-010 0 Raiser for 00, Tieria went to take a shower. During his shower, Ian started the 00 Raiser trials and GN particles flooded the L3 base. The particles stimulated his quantum brainwaves and temporarily gave Tieria undefined sensations. After 00 Raiser's Trans-Am shut down, the particles dissipated and left Tieria wondering about the phenomena he just experienced.

Destroy Memento Mori
Tieria and the rest of the group had a meeting, sensors have detected an unusual heat signature. When the crew gathered to see the anomaly, Sumeragi confirmed it was a caused by a satellite weapon (Memento Mori). Sumeragi made the decision to destroy the Federation's satellite weapon as soon as work on Ptolemy II is complete.

Innovator Confession
As the crew was about to prepare for Memento Mori, Tieria stopped everyone to reveal the existence of Innovators and their intentions. The crew finally learned of the shadow group of living bio-terminals that was responsible for creating Team Trinity, the three Throne Gundams, and 30 GN-X units with false GN Drives to the United Nations. Lyle asked why didn't Tieria say anything sooner. Tieria reasoned his silence was because he was conflicted as the Innovators claimed to follow Aeolia Schenberg's plan. Setsuna announced with confidence, "I'll destroy them...I'll defeat A-Laws and exterminate Innovator...I will, through my own will." The crew concurs with his sentiment and Tieria wanted to tell everyone he's with them. Sumeragi tells Tieria she has a rough understanding of what he's going through and reminded him they have a satellite weapon to destroy. Tieria was glad to be still considered a comrade.

A-Laws Preemptive Strike
The L3 and Ptolemy crew makes final preparations to Memento Mori. Work on Seravee Gundam was completed and Tieria was hanging with Allelujah over tactical data when L3 base was attacked. A-Laws found Celestial Being's asteroid base and have begun bombarding the base with GN Missiles. Tieria/Seravee and the rest of the Meisters sortied ahead of Ptolemy II to intercept A-Laws. As Ptolemy II launched, Tieria/Seravee was switched to active guarding the mothership. A second wave was approaching Ptolemy II and Tieria/Seravee fired his Twin Buster Cannon to wipe them out, but Bring Stabity/GNZ-005 Garazzo appeared and deflected the particle beam blasts.

Bring/Garazzo then charged at Tieria/Seravee for high speed close quarter MS combat. Tieria/Seravee attempted to shoot down Bring/Garazzo with his 2-piece GN Bazooka II, but Bring/Garazzo was too fast and maneuverable to get hit. Bring/Garazzo charged at Tieria/Seravee, forcing Tieria/Seravee to discard his bazooka to lock in MS hand-to-hand wrestling. Bring/Garazzo was overwhelming Tieria/Seravee and pushed Tieria/Seravee away as he tried to shoot Bring/Garazzo. Bring/Garazzo discontinued their fight to face 00 Raiser, Tieria/Seravee resumes defending Ptolemy II.

Tieria was frustrated he couldn't use Trans-Am as he's forced to use all his GN particles to continue deflecting beam fire and shooting down GN-X IIIs and Aheads. Tieria/Seravee and Lockon/Cherudim was overwhelmed with enemy MSs and Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser appeared just in time to relieve them. Setsuna/00 Raiser helped wipe out several GN-X IIIs and Aheads to lighten their load and flew off to face the Innovators and their mobile suits. Tieria/Seravee would defend Ptolemy II for the duration of the fight until A-Laws gave a recall order from the battle. Tieria/Seravee returned to Ptolemy II and utilized the Gundam's Trans-Am speed up their travel to Memento Mori.

Charging to Memento Mori
As Ptolemy II heads to Memento Mori, the crew noticed the satellite laser cannon firing it's third shot. The crew was surprised the weapon could fire into space as well. Tieria wondered what was the Federation aiming at and Lyle told them the target was a Katharon space fleet. Setsuna/00 Raiser sortied ahead to assist Katharon and retrieved tactical data pertaining Memento Mori. While analyzing the tactical data, the crew mysteriously received schematics from Wang Liu Mei's agent (Nena Trinity). Feldt discovered a weakness in Memento Mori, the electromagnetic photon resonance chamber. Sumeragi decided to exploit that weakness by plowing through Memento Mori's blind spot and through A-Laws' forces to destroy the satellite cannon. Once Ptolemy II and crew reached in a specific range of Memento Mori, Sumeragi had each of the Meisters/Gundams execute their specific roles in her battle plan.

Lockon/Cherudim defended Ptolemy II by activating Trans-Am and utilizing the GN Shield Bits. Because Allelujah/Arios is dedicating all its Trans-Am power to propel Ptolemy II towards Memento Mori, Ptolemy II had no GN Field to defend itself and needed Cheridum's GN Shield Bits for defense/offense. Soon as Tieria/Seravee reached in firing range, Tieria/Seravee activated Trans-Am to fire a Hyper Burst particle beam upon Memento Mori. Tieria/Seravee charged a massive particle orb beam and fired upon the satellite. The giant particle orb beam mowed through two GN-X IIIs and impacted on Memento Mori, burning a hole on the outer layer. Ptolemy II followed the blast with a salvo of GN Missiles, but Memento Mori still stands. Lockon/Cherudim then used Seravee's back as stabilizer and used the holographic targeting system to snipe the satellite cannon's electromagnetic photon resonance chamber. Using the last of Trans-Am power, Lockon/Cherudim fired and destroyed Memento Mori.

Crashed & Hunted on Earth
Just as the Ptolemy II crew enjoyed their victory over destroying Memento Mori, Innovators came for a surprise attack at their weakest moment. Bring/Garazzo, Revive/Gadessa, and Divine/Empress attacked Ptolemy II and breached the port stern. With all the Gundams still recharging their GN particles from the Memento Mori battle, there was no chance to retaliate. Ptolemy II used the inertia of their assault to speed their descent to Earth while releasing a smoke screen to partially blind the Innovators and exaggerated the damage they've sustained. The ship and crew survived crash landing back on Earth and began emergency repairs. With the exception of functional engines, their weapons, navigation, and communications have been badly damaged. On top of that, Setsuna/00 Raiser got separated from the group during their Innovators attack. Ptolemy II is now relying on the camouflage system to keep them temporarily safe from A-Laws detection as they try to restore the mothership to working order. Unknown to the crew, A-Laws and Innovators are secretly tracking their position through Anew Returner.

Siding with Humanity
Two unconfirmed mobile suits were heading their way and Sumeragi dispatches Allelujah/Arios and Tieria/Seravee to intercept them. Allelujah/Arios intercepted Revive/Gadessa while Tieria/Seravee intercepted Bring/Garazzo once again. Tieria/Seravee fired upon Bring/Garazzo, but Bring/Garazzo evaded all incoming fire and returned fire. Tieria/Seravee blocked Garazzo's hail of beam fire with GN Field and attempted to shoot Bring/Garazzo down with Twin Buster Cannon attack, but Bring/Garazzo charged in and destroyed his 2-piece bazooka. Bring identified Tieria as a fellow Innovator and insisted Tieria to join their side, but he refused. Tieria/Seravee and Bring/Garazzo clashed swords, but Bring/Garazzo was faster and kicked Tieria/Seravee to the ground; Tieria was impressed by the strength of Innovators.

As they charged towards one another, Bring told Tieria over the com, "I can't bring myself to shoot one of our own. But I must complete my mission!" Tieria replied, "I have things that I can't abandon as well!" Bring/Garazzo charged with his left beam saber hand. Tieria/Seravee dropped his GN Field on contact and lost his right MS arm. Tieria/Seravee took advantage of Garazzo's initial momentum to grab hold of Bring/Garazzo. The lower GN Cannons quickly transformed into MS arms and grabbed hold of Garazzo's MS legs. Seravee's remaining left MS arm held onto Garazzo's right MS arm and activated Trans-Am. Bring/Garazzo was about to chop Tieria/Seravee with his free left MS beam saber hand when Bring noticed the backpack of Seravee was transforming. As the backpack reveals the GN-009 Seraphim Gundam, Tieria tells Bring, "This is different from the time with Nadleeh. I expose this form by my own will! Seraphim Gundam!" Tieria/Seraphim hovered over Bring/Garazzo and was about to attack. Bring/Garazzo activated GN Field to shield against Tieria's attack, but Seraphim's MS arms can breach through Garazzo's GN Field. Bring asked Tieria, "You'd attack one of your own!?" Tieria replied, "Wrong! I'm human!" Tieria/Seraphim transformed his MS arms back into GN Cannons and fired upon Bring/Garazzo, destroying Garazzo and killing Bring Stabity. With Bring/Garazzo defeated, Revive/Gadessa retreated from fighting Allelujah/Arios. Both Tieria/Seravee and Allelujah/Arios returned to Ptolemy II for repairs/maintenance.

As Ptolemy II meet up with Katharon rebels to resupply the ship for repairs (arranged by Lockon), Tieria debriefed Sumeragi, Ian, and Allelujah of his battle with Bring/Garazzo. Tieria explained he had to use Seraphim Gundam or he would've been defeated by Innovators. Sumeragi wondered did Innovators notice Seraphim's special ability, but Tieria wasn't sure himself. Allelujah and Ian then discussed their precarious tactical situation. Ian discussed resupplying with Katharon before breaking through A-Laws' defensive line while Allelujah voiced concerns over A-Laws potentially attacking them with without a functional weapons control system on Ptolemy II. Ian believed they would've broken through A-Laws if they had Setsuna/00 Raiser, but worried can they do it without Setsuna/00 Raiser. Tieria tells the both of them, "Setsuna will definitely return. I believe in him." Shortly after, Ptolemy II and crew rendezvous with Katharon's European cell to resupply.

Coup d'état Save
After Katharon resupplied Ptolemy II, the ship and crew headed towards the coast. Tieria was at the MS hanger bay, tending to Saji and Meleina with blankets. Meleina, Saji, and Marie spent the whole night performing critical repairs on Seravee Gundam. Exhausted from their work, Saji and Meleina fell asleep in the MS hanger. Tieria thanked Meleina for her efforts and Meleina responded in her dream state, "You can't fall in love with me..." Suddenly, there was a tactical alert, A-Laws have found them again. A-Laws have launched a heavy assault, consisting of A-Laws (GN-X IIIs and Aheads) and Innovators MS (Revive/Gadessa, Healing/Gadessa, and Divine/Empress) units, a total of 36 enemy units along with a mobile armor (Empress). While the Gundams hold off A-Laws, Ptolemy II and crew take cover in the mountainous terrain for limited protection.

Lockon/Cherudim performed a preemptive strike against A-Laws. Using Trans-Am, Cherudim's range extended beyond A-Laws' and Innovators firing range to reduce the numbers of enemy MS units. As Cherudim's GN particles were spent, Allelujah/Arios and Tieria/Seravee would follow up and face the brunt of the assault. Both Tieria/Seravee and Allelujah/Arios shot down several A-Laws units, but Innovators gave them the greatest challenge. Tieria/Seravee was forced to use GN Field as A-Laws and Innovators heavily fired upon him, preventing Tieria/Seravee to counterattack. Divine/Empress came within combat range and fired a taser weapon that can breach Seravee's GN Field. Allelujah/Arios attempted to assist Tieria/Seravee, only to be tased himself. Divine/Empress successfully held down both Tieria/Seravee and Allelujah/Arios with his taser weapon while the rest of A-Laws attempts to finish off Ptolemy II. Lockon/Cherudim was still hiding behind the mountain, unable to assist because GN particle recharge is still incomplete after Trans-Am. Just as the situation looks bleak, a sudden A-Laws recall order was made. AEU's orbital elevator has just been occupied by a rogue faction of the Federation army, coup d'état. Both Tieria/Seravee and Allelujah/Arios managed to escape from Divine/Empress and A-Laws. Tieria wonders "Why?" as A-Laws and Innovators seemingly had them.

Tieria and the rest of the group eventually learned of the coup d'état at the AEU orbital elevator in Africa. Everyone believes that heading there is the best place to find Setsuna as he's likely to do the same. Once the crew reached in proximity of the AEU elevator, Setsuna/00 Raiser was found engaging Mr. Bushido/Masurao. Tieria/Seravee, Lockon/Cherudim, and Allelujah/Arios all quickly sortied, activated their Trans-Am Systems and attacked Mr. Bushido/Masurao to fend him off. The Meisters were glad to greet Setsuna. Setsuna asked, "Is everyone ok?"-in a weakened/faint voice. The Meisters wondered if something was wrong when Setsuna/00 Raiser began to fall. Allelujah/Arios and Lockon/Cherudim carried Setsuna/00 Raiser while Tieria/Seravee escorted them back.

Break Pillar Incident
While Setsuna was recovering in Ptolemy, Sumeragi dispatched the Meisters to intervene the standoff between the ESF-Army, ESF-Coup faction, and Katharon over the AEU elevator.

Battle at AEU Elevator
As the 3 Meisters head towards the orbital elevator, they noticed Katharon forces fleeing from the elevator. ESF forces fired upon Katharon MS units and Lockon couldn't stand the sight of his brothers getting killed and charged. Against Tieria's and Allelujah's heed(s), Lockon/Cherudim impulsively charged into the battlefield to shoot down as many ESF-Army MS units as possible. Allelujah/Arios and Tieria/Seravee provided backup for Lockon/Cherudim in the battle. While everyone was fighting, Tieria and everyone momentarily paused as they noticed falling debris from the elevator. Seconds later, Sumeragi made a public announcement to everyone:

"To all units within our current airspace: I'm transferring data over all the visible signals. Please destroy all pillar fragments entering the airspace indicated in the data. Below that space are densely populated areas. At this rate, millions of people will die. So I plead you, help save everyone!"

Soon as the message was over, Tieria/Seravee, Allelujah/Arios, and Lockon/Cherudim quickly flew upwards to shoot down the incoming debris. Tieria/Seravee fired with all 6 guns towards the falling fragments and followed up with Hyper Burst to fire a steady particle beam to sweep/vaporize them. As Tieria/Seravee continues to rapid fire incoming debris, he was surprised to see ESF-Coup faction jumping in to assist. In an unusual situation, all opposing forces temporarily united in saving the civilians from the falling pillar fragments. Soon as Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser returned from destroying the second Memento Mori, Lockon/Cherudim and Allelujah/Arios activated their Trans-Am to continue defending the African populace. After several hours of shooting down the falling debris to protect the civilians, the Meisters regrouped to Ptolemy and evaded enemy forces.

Post Break Pillar Seclusion
After the battle, Tieria and the rest of the Ptolemy crew went under the radar for several months from Federation forces. With the Federation Army under direct control from A-Laws and haven't recovered from previous battles, the Ptolemy crew went into seclusion until they could be at full strength once again. In between this time, Tieria and the Ptolemy crew was attacked more than 20 times due to Anew's presence with the group. Revive Revival was able to use her as a Innovator homing beacon to locate them. The series of assaults slowed them down, but they were able to gradually resume normal operations. In between the last 4 months, Tieria have been assisting the crew in maintenance, repairs, and suggested the idea of taking Veda back into Celestial Being control. After 4 months, Celestial Being is in space again and have returned to fighting strength to combat A-Laws. Their first objective after their hiatus is to destroy the Memento Mori.

Destroy Memento Mori No. 2
Tieria/Seravee and the rest of the Gundam Meisters sortied to take down Memento Mori. Lockon/Cherudim and Tieria/Seravee teamed up for a pincer attack with Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser and Allelujah/Soma/Archer Arios. Lockon/Cherudim and Tieria/Seravee attacked from long range shooting while Allelujah/Soma/Archer Arios provided backup for Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser to destroy Memento Mori. After Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser successfully destroyed Memento Mori with Trans-Am Riser, the Meisters finished off remaining forces and returned to Ptolemy.

Taking Back Veda
After much effort to battle A-Laws, Celestial Being is still nowhere close in winning their fight against the corrupted Federation force. A-Laws has become a bigger threat as they have assimilated the Federation Army and manipulated the media to keep the public ignorantly at peace. Tieria, Sumeragi, Setsuna and the rest of the bridge crew discuss over their complications in defeating such a formidable force. Tieria suggested to Sumeragi it's time to consider re-taking Veda. Sumeragi also believes taking back Veda would help turn the tide in their campaign, but nobody knows where Veda is. Setsuna suggested to find someone who knows the whereabouts of Veda, ask an Innovator for Veda's whereabouts.

Innovator Capture Operation
Shortly after their conversation, A-Laws have found them again (through Anew) and Tieria suits up to sortie. As they headed towards the MS hanger bay, Tieria was with Setsuna and asked about his shoulder injury. Setsuna reported no problem. As Tieria/Seravee fly towards the battlefield, his mind was on reuniting with Veda.

Tieria and the rest of the Meisters received a quick debriefing over the com over A-Laws tactics with Sumeragi. After everyone understood their orders, they all broke off to fight. As Tieria/Seravee battles, Setsuna/00 Raiser was engaged with Revive/Gadessa. Setsuna told Tieria to handle the Innovator while Setsuna/Saji/00 Raiser searches for Louise Halevy. Tieria/Seravee fired his right GN Bazooka II, but Revive/Gadessa left punched and destroyed Tieria's gun. Tieria/Seravee locked his right MS arm with Gadessa's left MS arm. Both of then tried to shoot each other with their beam guns and mutually destroyed each other's weapons. Revive/Gadessa attempts to strike back with his beam saber, but Tieria/Seravee blocked with his own beam saber. As they cross swords, Tieria comments, "As I thought, it seems that your suit isn't built for close combat!" Revive retorts, "It's not as bad as yours though. Built with nothing but firepower in mind!" Tieria confidently reply, "I wouldn't be so sure. Trans-Am!" Tieria/Seravee momentarily activated Trans-Am and brought forth all his six MS arms, all armed with beam sabers for melee combat. Revive/Gadessa attempted to shoot Tieria/Seravee down, but Seravee activated its GN Field as it charged through. Revive/Gadessa blocked the first two sword strikes, but unable to evade the other four. Gadessa was taking heavy damage on the MS shoulders and torso, Revive was forced to emergency eject. Tieria saw Revive's escape pod and said, "You're not getting away! Seraphim!" Tieria/Seraphim broke off from Seravee and quickly grabbed hold of the Innovator, telling him, "I have something I want to ask you."

As the battle drew to a close, Saji was observing the battle between Soma/GN Archer and Andrei/Ahead. He couldn't keep quiet anymore and shouted over the com for Soma to "STOP!". Tieria and the rest of the crew heard Saji plead, "Please stop! Nothing will change. Even if you get your revenge, that won't bring anyone back to life. You'll only increase the sorrow. Everyone's gradually losing their senses as this goes on. You won't be able to head anywhere. You can't even proceed forward..." The battle was over and Tieria successfully captured Revive Revival to ask him for the location of Veda. Back on board Ptolemy, Tieria, Sumeragi, and the rest of the Gundam Meisters were present to interrogate their captured Innovator about Veda. Unbeknownst to them, while Revive Revival introduced himself and talked to Sumeragi, he was influencing Anew with his quantum brainwaves in attempt free himself, escape with Anew, and take 00 Gundamand 0 Raiser to Ribbons.

Innovator Deception
During their interrogation, Sumeragi asked about Veda's location. Revive claimed, "Well, I really don't know." Allelujah asked, "You don't know, even though you're an Innovator?" Revive replied, "For argument's sake, if I knew the location, what do you intend to do with Veda?" Tieria answered, "Take it back." Revive chuckled and said, "Veda was originally created for us to use" Sumeragi asked, "Then tell me this: What do you intend to use Veda for? What is the real intention of the plan Aeolia drafted?" Revive answered, "It's for the upcoming dialogues.". Allelujah responds, "I don't understand what he's talking about". Revive comments, " That's the limit humans suffer from." Lyle retorted, "I don't think you're in any position to act like you're perfect. You were captured after all." Revive smirked and retorted, "What if I told you...I got caught on purpose?" Feldt suddenly informs them over the com system that Anew shot Lasse, took Mileina hostage, and surprised everyone with her Innovator identity. Revive takes it as his cue to leave. Setsuna tries to stop him with his gun, but Revive explains, "You understand, don't you? If anything happens to me, I can't guarantee the safety of the hostage. Since we're the same type, Anew and I are able to connect our thoughts. You do understand right?" Tieria and the others had no choice but to let Revive go, seconds later, the Ptolemy's internal systems have been shutdown due to a computer virus. Soon as the group left the meeting room, Setsuna suggested to split into two groups to search for Mileina. Tieria never found Mileina, he subsequently learned Mileina was saved by Setsuna and Lockon; Innovators escaped after their failed attempt to steal 00 Gundam.

Tieria later assisted the bridge crew in restoring Ptolemy's systems. With Lasse injured and Anew AWOL, there was no one competent with helm and weapons control systems. As Tieria continued to work, Sumeragi told him, "Tieria, go get Seravee ready to launch. I'll handle things here." Tieria replied, "But your steering..." Sumeragi responded, "I understand if you have no confidence in me, so protect us with your Gundam." Tieria reluctantly agreed when suddenly Feldt reported Innovators are coming (Louise/Regnant, Anew/Gadess, Revive/Gadessa, and Hilling/Garazzo). Tieria quickly went to sortie with Seravee Gundam.

Tieria/Seravee sortied with Allelujah/Soma/Archer Arios and Lockon/Cherudim to intercept Innovators. With 00 Raiser damaged from their previous encounter and Ptolemy II still down, the remaining 3 Gundams have fend off their enemies until Setsuna/00 Raiser is able to sortie. As the trio fly towards their enemy, Tieria said over the com, "There aren't many enemies, but they have a mobile armor." Seconds later, Louise/Regnant attacked with her beam cannon.

Tieria/Seravee evaded enemy beam fire from Louise/Regnant, to everyone's surprise, the particle beams form Regnant can bend. Tieria/Seravee evaded a second shot after him, but couldn't avoid the hit and successfully blocked the attack with his GN Field; even with GN Field, the beam's power surprised Tieria as it nearly overwhelmed Seravee's particle field. While Lockon/Cherudim is busy engaging Anew/Gadess, the team isn't doing well as Louise/Regnant, Revive/Gadessa, and Healing/Garazzo continues to attack with their beam weapons. Tieria/Seravee attempts to make an opening with a Hyper Burst Blast against Revive/Gadessa and Healing/Garazzo, but was surprised to see Regnant can defend against such a powerful attack with its own GN Field. Revive/Gadessa and Healing/Garazzo then returned heavy beam fire and Tieria/Seravee was forced to defend with his GN Field. As Tieria/Seravee regrouped with Allelujah/Arios and Soma/GN Archer, Revive/Gadessa and Hilling/Garazzo broke through their defensive line and the trio attempts to stop them; Louise/Regnant was right behind them and disabled the trio by deploying her wire tasers. The electro-shock not only paralyzed them in their mobile suits, but was killing them. The situation looked bleak when Setsuna/00 Raiser fired a beam blast that cut off the taser wires. Setsuna/00 Raiser had sortied, quickly defeated Revive/Gadessa and Healing/Garazzo, and disabled Louise/Regnant. After the fight, the crew had to deal with an awkward situation between Lyle and Setsuna.

During the fight, Setsuna/00 Raiser shot and destroyed Anew/Gaddess. Anew/Gadessa was about to kill Lyle and Setsuna made the decision to kill Anew before she could kill Lyle. Everyone knew that was a necessary action Setsuna made to save Lyle, but Lyle was too angry to see it that way. Lyle confronted Setsuna and repeatedly punched him in the face. Setsuna didn't bother to retaliate and let Lyle beat him. Lyle cried out, "You bastard! You bastard! You killed Anew!!" Tieria told Lyle to "Stop it!" Lyle distraughtly replied, "Shut up! She was coming back! She was coming back to us not as an Innovator, but as a human! This is all your fault!!" Lyle kept hitting Setsuna until he broke down on Setsuna's chest.

Rendezvous at Lagrange 5
Tieria later went to assist the bridge crew in performing system tests to make sure Ptolemy is running smoothly after the curing the ship's virus. After a internal system check, Feldt revealed Ptolemy received a mysterious message to rendezvous at Lagrange 5. The crew was suspicious of the message, but Setsuna insisted to head towards there to meet the unknown messenger (Wang Liu Mei). While at the helm, Tieria asked Sumeragi, "We're going to Lagrange 5? We're going to respond to a person who sent us nothing but a point?" Sumeragi answered, "It bothers me..., but Setsuna said to go at all costs..." After finding out Setsuna made the call, Tieria thought more about the situation. With Ian's support to L5 (another resource satellite) for maintenance and upgrades, Sumeragi relented to head to L5. Due to A-Laws still in pursuit of them, Sumeragi suggested Setsuna sortie ahead to meet their mysterious messenger while the Ptolemy distracts their pursuers with a longer alternative route.

Several days later, Setsuna returned from his mission to space colony Eclipse and Tieria attended the group meeting. Setsuna gave the encrypted message to Feldt to have the coordinates decrypted. As they waited for the decryption, he reported to the crew he received the information from Wang Liu Mei (via Regene): the location of Veda. Shortly afterward, Feldt decrypted the coordinates and revealed Veda’s location, the dark side of the moon (Lagrange 2). When nothing was detected upon sensors, Sumeragi suspected there was more behind the blank image and had Meleina superimpose their star charts over the current coordinates. The results show a large area of space that was blank where there was supposed to be stars. After calculating the discrepancy, Feldt revealed the measurement to be fifteen kilometers in diameter. It’s suspected amongst the crew that something very large is cloaked and hidden near the moon.

In between their meeting, Ptolemy was expected to rendezvous with their lab transport ship for overall maintenance/upgrades to their Gundams and re-supply for the ship. The ship arrived in between their meeting and Seravee was upgraded to GN-008GNHW/B Seravee Gundam GNHW/B as part of its overall maintenance/upgrades.

As their meeting continued, sensors revealed A-Laws have begun amassing upon their intended destination. This only further solidified their beliefs that Veda is indeed hidden at the moon. The problem is now dealing with A-Laws and Innovators to recover Veda. Each and one of the pilots spoke their feelings and sense of commitment for their upcoming mission. Tieria stated his reason, "To release mankind from the Innovators' control!" Setsuna told the crew, “''We’ll change. If we don’t change, we’ll never reach the future.''” With everyone united to recover Veda, Sumeragi announced the crew will soon battle soon as maintenance and resupply is completed. There was still concern over their ability to succeed as they are short of a pilot, but Lasse just returned for duty. With the crew now ready, Tieria and the Ptolemy crew head towards Lagrange 2.

Battle Towards Lagrange 2
Once Ptolemy reached in range of L2, the Meisters all prepared to sortie for battle. As Tieria/Seravee is about to launch, he thinks out loud, "No matter what it takes, we'll recover Veda. Guide me through this...Lockon." Tiera/Seravee (GN-008GNHW/B Seravee Gundam GNHW/B) sortied to engage A-Laws.

As the Meisters reached in combat range, Allelujah/Soma/Archer Arios started things with a salvo of GN Missiles. The missiles corralled several GNX units together and Tieria/Seravee followed up with a Hyper Burst Blast. The first wave was quickly defeated, but the difficulty of the fight increased. Setsuna/00 Raiser prevented 3 A-Laws battlecruisers from completing a suicide run to Ptolemy. To everyone's surprise, the battlecruisers were decoys and was filled with particle disruptors that created a large anti-particle field. A second wave of A-Laws soon followed in larger numbers and GN Missiles launchers.

Due to the anti-particle field, Tieria/Seravee is in a bind as its overall defensive/offensive capabilities is heavily dependent on GN particles for shielding and powering particle weapons. As A-Laws GNX units fired a barrage of GN Missiles, Tieria/Seravee deployed his GN Field, but the missiles impacted through his particle barrier. A GNX III charged at Tieria/Seravee and pushed back Seravee. Tieria then realized the enemy is about to joust him from above. Lockon/Cherudim saved Tieria/Seravee by shielding the attack with his GN Shield Bits and knocking off the enemy unit. By now, A-Laws have broken through their defensive line in between Ptolemy. As their situation looks bleak, Katharon and the ESF Coup d'état Faction arrived to assist. The second wave was eventually defeated and Tieria/Seravee charged through the anti-particle field to combat the remains of A-Laws. Tieria/Seravee targeted the capital ships as Katharon and Coup forces handled A-Laws' GNX units.

Over an open channel, coup leader Kati Mannequin told the Meisters to focus on defending their ship. Seconds later, Setsuna warned everyone over the com, "Attention all ships! Take evasive action immediately! It's coming! Incoming attack! Some sinister light!" A large and powerful particle beam just fired near the moon (CBS Celestial Being). The particle beam fired in the middle of the combat zone, unbiasedly taking out various MS units and capital ships from all sides. Tieria/Seravee flew parallel to the beam attack without suffering damage. In the middle of confusion, a giant asteroid ship decloaked before everyone, CBS Celestial Being. Sensors revealed that Veda is held within Celestial Being. Sumeragi announces to allied forces of their intention of retrieving Veda and taking down Celestial Being. Celestial Being charges forward to their final battle.

Last Mission
Ptolemy and Meisters are now cruising towards Celestial Being. As they are about to confront their greatest challenge, Sumeragi tells everyone over the com, "Everyone, let's go! To atone for how we changed the world. Let's set things right! Let's release the world from the Innovators' rule and change the world again! For the future! Last mission, start!" Tieria and the rest of Meisters received instructions from Sumeragi to destroy the gun turrets to ensure their invasion route. The Meisters acknowledge their command(s) and began firing upon Celestial Being.

Tieria/Seravee began firing upon Celestial Being with powerful beams attacks. While shooting down the turrets, Lockon/Cherudim was in trouble and Tieria/Seravee shielded him with his GN Field and returned fire upon Celestial Being. As Celestial Being cleared half the way to Celestial Being, an unknown MS force sortied out of colony ship, Gaga Forces. The Gaga units quickly engaged their Trans-Am and began their kamikaze attack. The Meisters immediately went on the defensive to protect Ptolemy.

Lockon/Cherudim and the Meisters continued to shoot down as many Gaga units as possible, but were still overwhelmed by their large numbers. Ptolemy was almost lost if it weren't for the lab transport crew sacrificing themselves, using the ship to shield against the assault. Enraged by the casualties, Tieria/Seravee fired a Hyper Blast across the incoming Gaga units. Combat relief came when the ESF Coup d'état Faction and Katharon provided fire coverage to allow the Meisters and Ptolmey to charge through Celestial Being. Soon as Ptolemy made it into Celestial Being's ship dock, each of the Meisters split up to invade the mothership.

As Tieria/Seravee flew over Celestial Being, Tieria was happy to hear Feldt's report over Veda's location within the mothership. Just then, Hilling/Garazzo and Revive/Gadessa appeared to fight. To Tieria's surprise, both enemy units executed Trans-Am and Tieria/Seravee also activated his Trans-Am. Tieria/Seravee fired several beam shots, but both enemy units were too fast for Seravee to handle. Hilling/Garazzo and Revive/Gadessa charged in and cut off both MS arms of Seravee. Tieria/Seravee then crash landed onto the asteroid surface of Celestial Being With Seravee out of action, Tieria took the opportunity to sneek into Celestial Being to reclaim Veda.

Within Celestial Being, Ribbons was at the central core where Veda is stored. As Ribbons looked upon Veda, he thought out loud, "Humanity is being tested. Will it be destroyed or reborn?" Tieria overheard Ribbons' self-chatter and retorted, "But that's not for you to decide."-with his gun aiming at him. Ribbons then said, "Tieria Erde, as an Innovator, you-" Tieria cut him short and said, "Wrong! We are not Innovators! We are artificially made beings who exit to urge the emergence of actual Innovators, Innovades! We're taking back Veda from you, Ribbons Almark!" Ribbons smirked and retorted, "And what if an Innovade was able to make that evolution?" Tieria was confused with is remark. Ribbons continued, "I have surpassed the Innovades and have become a being who surpasses even true Innovators!" Tieria angrily responded, "Nonsense!"-with his gun aiming to shoot. Ribbons shot Tieria first (in the abdomen) and said, "I told you didn't I? I am one who has surpassed Innovators." Ribbons shot Tieria three more times (both shoulders and around the heart) Ribbons continued to say, "I will not relinquish Veda. Yes, I will be the one to guide humanity!" Ribbons then made his final shot, shooting Tieria through his forehead.

Ribbons and his minions seemed victorious until Setsuna/00 Raiser executed Trans-Am Burst with the awakening of his Innovator powers. The sudden flood of GN particles (coupled with Setsuna's will) have dampened the quantum brainwaves to all Innovators. Ribbons wondered where the sudden surge of GN Particles came from. Just then, the supposed dead Regene Regetta speaks, "I've been waiting for this time." Ribbons was surprise Regene was still somehow alive. Suddenly, Veda's terminal data screens started turning red. Ribbons remarked, "Veda has refused my link to it!? It can't be that the system was..." Regene continues to say, "Ribbons, we won't let you do as you please. Isn't that right, Tieria?"

Tieria's dead eyes started to glow and transferred his consciousness to Veda. He then accessed his dead body to remotely access Seraphim Gundam (through his quantum brainwaves) to execute Trial Field. The tide of the battle has now turned as all MS units linked to Veda has been deactivated/paralyzed. With Trial Field in affect, both Innovators and Gaga Forces were all neutralized; the Ptolemy crew and the Gundam Meisters survived their personal battles.

Setsuna/00 Raiser later infiltrated Celestial Being to recover Veda. To Setsuna's shock, he found Tieria had died from multiple gunshot wounds. Setsuna sadly said, "I'll avenge you." To Setsuna's surprise, he heard Tieria's voice, "It will be a pain if you decide to kill me arbitrarily." Setsuna asked out loud, "Where? Where are you Tieria?" Tieria answered, "Right now, my consciousness is completely linked to Veda." Setsuna look upwards at Veda and Tieria continued, "I think I'm glad I was an Innovator...no, an Innovade. Because I was able to save you all with my abilities. By linking with Veda, I was able to learn everything. Now I'll tel you everything about Aeolia's plan...Our armed interventions, even though they were full of contradictions, were meant to urge the world into uniting. Even if we were destroyed, we were to unify mankind's will. That was to prevent mankind from exploring deep space with conflict still in their hearts. If mankind does not change, it will not be able to weave a future for itself. To be prepared for the dialogues we will eventually have with others. For that, we...require understanding." After learning the truth behind Aeolia's true intentions, Setsuna left Celestial Being to regroup with Ptolemy. As Setsuna flew toward the rear of Celestial Being, he saw Seraphim Gundam still using Trial Field to paralyze Gaga Forces and Innovators. Just then, Seraphim was shot down by Ribbons/CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam/Reborns Cannon (in Cannon Mode).

Final Confrontation
In the final battle between Celestial Being and Innovators, Tieria couldn't participate as his body and Gundams were destroyed. Being one with Veda, he's only able to observe the battle between Innovators and his comrades. At a particular moment in the fight, Ribbons told Setsuna, "You only have that power because you were blessed with the original GN Drives!" Ribbons/Reborns Cannon pushed Setsuna/00 Raiser away and continued to say, "Return them to me!" Setsuna replied, "Who would!?" Both opponents exchanged beam firing, but evaded and returned fire. Ribbons switched back to Reborns Gundam form and said, "Yes...without them, my creation is meaningless...As well as my existence!" Tieria interjected through quantum wave communication to say "Wrong!" Ribbons was surprised Tieria can talk to him through quantum waves. Tieria continued to say, "We will not guide humanity. We will create a future together with mankind. This is the path that we, the Innovades, should take!" Ribbons angrily asked, "Together with inferior humanity!?" Tieria replied, "If you continue to look down on humans like that, you won't be able to understand them!" Ribbons replied, "I don't have any intention of understanding them!" Because Ribbons was temporarily distracted, Setsuna/00 Raiser was able to land an a kick and fire a barrage of beams to further damage Reborns Gundam. Ribbons/Reborns Gundam then activated Trans-Am and Setsuna/00 Raiser followed. Ultimately the fight was a draw and Ribbons had stolen 0 Gundam's GN Drive during the fight and Setsuna had taken Exia's GN Drive. Both opponents returned to fight on Celestial Being's rocky surface, Setsuna/Exia RII dueled Ribbons/0 Gundam in a final battle for humanity. Setsuna victoriously defeated Ribbons and he was later recovered by the Ptolemy crew. With Veda back in CB control and no body to transfer to, Tieria consciousness remained inside Veda's core while his comrades left to tie up loose ends.

Going to Sleep
With A-Laws and Innovators defeated, peace as returned throughout the solar system, as a reformed Federation disbands the A-Laws and return the sovereignty to the nations they subjugated. Tieria's dead body still resides within Veda's terminal and his consciousness continues to reside within Veda's core inside Celestial Being. Tieria reflects, "Now we've entrusted the future to mankind. As a part of Veda, I'll be watching over you all. Until the time of the upcoming dialogues...farewell, everyone." Tieria goes into hibernation until the day he's needed again.

Rebuilding Celestial Being
After their epic battle, Celestial Being returns to MS development to anticipate potential future threats towards the peace of Earth and their own organization. Tieria continues to aid Celestial Being as the new holographic interface (inter-linked with Veda) to Celestial Being.

Financial Crisis
Celestial Being was originally funded by highly resourceful observers and agents, however their supporters were killed off by Ribbons during the events of AD 2307. With Wang Liu Mei dead, their only financial supporter, preparing for the future has been difficult. Funds and materials within CB is at an all-time low. CB engineer, Ian Vashti, has been attempting to develop the next generation of Gundams; with low resources, Ian speaks with Tieria about their situation. Tieria suggests using Veda's abilities to manipulate the stock market, but cautioned if he over did it, they’d be reduced to a criminal organization.

Celestial Being

 * Veda
 * There's a personal relationship between Veda and Tieria. Tieria's mind has the ability to communicate with Veda. When switching to Gundam Nadleeh or Seraphim Gundam, he is able to synchronize with Veda in the "Trial" sequence that allows him to jam other mobile suits linked to Veda, including the Throne Gundams and the Innovators MS. Due to the takeover of Veda by Ribbons, Tieria's link is forcibly severed. He seems to be unable to reverse the changes that were made to Veda and seeks a means to restore and decrypt the malignant programming. After his death, Tieria's consciousness becomes merged with Veda, enabling him to learn about Aeolia Schenberg's true plan. It is suggested in the movie preview that Tieria will return using a proxy body similar to how Ribbons could use multiple bodies.


 * Crew of the Ptolemaios


 * Sumeragi Lee Noriega


 * Feldt Grace


 * Christina Sierra


 * Mileina Vashti


 * Gundam Meisters


 * Setsuna F. Seiei


 * At the beginning Tieria had misgivings against Setsuna, and even threatened to kill him if he jeopardized the mission(s). After the introduction of the Throne Meisters, due to a common dislike towards them, they start seeing eye-to-eye and they have renewed respect for each other.
 * In season 2 Tieria seems very happy for Setsuna's return. After this reunion they share a renewed relationship of trust and respect. Tieria even supported Setsuna's rescue of Marina Ismail, something that would have been impossible in the past.


 * Allelujah Haptism
 * Allelujah Haptism was Tieria's partner during the early missions of season 1. They never seem to interact much outside their missions in season 1, partly due to Tieria Erde's cold demeanor.
 * In season 2, they never have that much interaction. However, its shown that Tieria cares for the comrade, as shown during the Allelujah retrieval missions.


 * Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy)
 * Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy) has been much of big brother for all of the Meisters. It was thanks to Lockon's kind personality that Tieria learned to accept his own human and humble side. Lockon's death at the end of Season 1 proved to be heavy for Tieria. However, it taught Tieria his new reason for fighting, for his comrades, aside from strictly following Veda's orders.


 * Lockon Stratos (II) (Lyle Dylandy)
 * Tieria never approved of the new Lockon Stratos (Lyle Dylandy), partly due to Lyle trying to fill Neil's shoes at the start of season 2. However, as the series progress, they seemed to grow a sense of comradeship; even helping each other out during times of need in the battlefield.


 * Throne Meisters

Innovators

 * Ribbons Almark


 * Regene Regetta
 * Regene is Tieria's Innovade twin. Regene first invites Tieria to join the Innovators, tempting the latter with knowledge of Veda. As his genetic twin, Regene's consciousness is able to move Tieria's mind into Veda.

Trivia

 * Tiera was the only one of the 4 Gundam Meisters of the series who managed to return to Celestial Being at the end of Season 1. Setsuna F. Seiei was doing solo work during the 5-year interval between Seasons 1 and 2, Allelujah got captured by the Earth federation army and Lockon Stratos (Neil Dylandy) died on the first season. Although on the second season, Tieria was the only one who died by being shot on the head by Ribbons Almark. Despite being killed, his conscience linked with Veda so he is still considered alive.


 * During the second trailer of the Gundam 00 movie, Tieria was seen wearing a blue suit like Setsuna's as opposed to the series as he was wearing a purple suit.


 * As stated during the first season of Gundam 00, he prefers being on space than on Earth.
