Relena, now a deputy Foreign Minister for the ESUN, is abducted while on her way to colony X-18999. To her astonishment, the one responsible for her abduction is Mariemaia Khushrenada, Treize's daughter and the granddaugher of Dekim Barton, leader of the Barton foundation. However, it soon becomes clear that Mariemaia is being manipulated by her grandfather to complete his second scheme of total dominiation of that Earth sphere. The first scheme had taken place at the beginning of Operation Meteor, when Dekim's son, the real Trowa Barton, was supposed to have gone to Earth, help the other Gundam pilots in their mission and then wipe them out, while his father was taking control of the government. His first plan having failed, Dekim wants to try again, this time by using the name of Mariemaia's famous father. Heero and Duo, having learned of Relena's abduction, decide to investigate and send Quatre on a dangerous mission to recuperate the Gundams, while Trowa learns about Dekim's latest bid for power and decides to stop him. However, as he tries to kill Dekim, Trowa is stopped by Wufei, now a member of Mariemaia's forces!.... |

Later, as they arrive at X-18999, Heero and Duo are met by Wufei and Trowa, who fire at them.

At the same time, a lone MS, piloted by Zechs Merquise, now a ESUN agent, approaches the asteroid MO-III, where Mariemaia's forces prepare themselves for their impending assault on Earth and threatens to blow it to pieces. Dekim's only answer is that if Zechs so much as sneezes, he will drop the asteroid on Earth. Zechs turns tail..... |
