Synopsis[]
Quatre and Heero meet with Relena.
Pagan drives Heero and Quatre to the entrance of the Sanc Kingdom's school. Heero says he's leaving after he gets his Gundam back; Quatre thinks they should stay longer. They head inside while the girls talk about them. Relena welcomes them to the Sanc Kingdom in her office. Heero says he's not staying, but Relena informs him of her search for Trowa. She asks Heero to stay until the search is over.
Heero duels with Dorothy in a fencing match.
Heero and Quatre join Relena for a class, where they introduce themselves. Before stating his name, Heero has a flashback of when Doctor J told him to use the alias Heero Yuy before sending him to Earth at the onset of Operation Meteor. Later, Heero and Quatre watch the girls in fencing matches. Dorothy challenges Heero to a match. During the match, she talks about two people with the same name; one was a peace loving leader who became famous and was assassinated, the other is a powerful individual as well, who might also lose his life. Heero intentionally loses the match, but after Dorothy taunts him he attacks and cracks her fencing mask. He says there must be two people with the name Heero Yuy other than himself.
Noin tells Relena about the Treize Faction.
Noin meets with Relena; she informs Relena that Treize Faction members have entered the Sanc Kingdom. Noin says they will leave, but the Romefeller Foundation wants to attack the Sanc Kingdom before this happens. Relena wants to accept them as refugees so she can help the injured. Meanwhile, the Treize Faction members sit in the woods. They think that OZ led them here in order to attack the Sanc Kingdom. Noin contacts them telling them Relena's plan. The commander refuses, saying it's a trap, and terminates communication.
Noin's Taurus suits are revealed.
Elsewhere, Heero locates Wing Gundam, along with several white Taurus mobile suits, in an underground hangar that Noin has kept secret from Relena. A group of OZ planes head into the country. Relena contacts them, saying that they are accepting the Treize Faction as refugees, but the lying commander claims the Treize Faction is actually going to attack the Sanc Kingdom so they are going to attack.
Heero meets with the Treize Faction.
The OZ carriers release Virgos to attack the Treize Faction and the Sanc Kingdom. Relena wants to go to the battlefield, and gets in a car with Dorothy, despite Pagan's warnings. Noin shows Quatre the Tauruses she has kept secret from Relena, and they leave in them to follow after Heero. Near the battlefield, the Treize Faction members prepare to blow up their camp, but Heero arrives to supply them with mobile suits in order to help him defend the Sanc Kingdom from OZ.
Wing Gundam is revealed.
The Virgos easily destroy the mobile suits on the ground, but the Tauruses that Heero provided to the Treize Faction members arrive and destroy them. Dorothy and Relena approach the battle. A mobile suit carrier approaches the main OZ craft, but is destroyed. Suddenly, Wing Gundam emerges from the carrier's explosion unscathed and shoots down the main OZ plane with its buster rifle.
Heero saves Relena from a crashing OZ plane.
The OZ plane heads straight towards Dorothy's car, but Heero blasts it again and sends it plummeting to the cliffs below. More Virgos arrive to attack Relena, but Quatre and Noin come to the rescue. With the battle over, Heero lands his Gundam nearby Relena. As the sun rises, Wing Gundam and the white Tauruses are all presented before Relena as their pilots converse with her. Noin admits to keeping mobile suits in the country, and says the Sanc Kingdom should have a defense unit; Heero agrees. Relena decides to approve the idea. Dorothy listens to them from her car nearby.
