- As the Minerva approaches the Lohengrin Gate, Athrun explains the battle plan to the other pilots. While the Minerva and the soldiers of the Mahamul base draw the attention of the Earth Forces, one pilot will attack the positron cannon via a hidden tunnel. Athrun selects Shinn to carry out this vital mission, and the hotheaded young pilot agrees after one of the local resistance fighters begs for his help. Using data provides by the resistance, Shinn flies the separated parts of the Impulse Gundam through the darkness of the narrow tunnel. As he does so, his comrades fight a diversionary battle against the enemy's superior forces.
- In the 72nd year of the Cosmic Era, mankind's long war of bitter hatred has come to a close. Although peace has been achieved, it has been at the cost of innocent blood and broken dreams. Among those who has suffered deeply from the loss of both is the young Coordinator Shinn Asuka. Caught in the conflagration of the final battle of ORB, Shinn could only watch as his family was consumed, victims of chance and misdirected anger. Now, filled with a rage of his own and a desire to never see the innocent slaughtered again, he has left the peaceful nation that was his home and has joined with the ZAFT militia. But youthful anger and sorrow are no weapons to keep peace among the stars, and soon, the desire for power and the renewal of hatreds subdued but not forgotten send humanity tumbling back towards the horror and fear of a war that is not yet truly over...
- Once the Minerva arrives in Orb, Cagalli resumes her duties as Chief Representative. Her prime minister, Unato Ema Seiran, tells her of the damage caused by the fall of Junius Seven and urges her to approve an alliance with the Atlantic Federation. The engineers of Morgenroete begin repair work on the Minerva, supervised by the former Archangel captain Murrue Ramius. Athrun meets with his old friends Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne, who have taken refuge in Orb after their island home was flooded by the fall of Junius Seven. At last Athrun decides to return to space to meet with Chairman Durandal, leaving Cagalli with an unexpected parting gift.
- Shnn looks back at his personal history. During the previous war, Shinn and his family lived peacefully in the neutral nation of Orb, but eventually even Orb was drawn into the conflict. Clinging to its ideals, Orb refused to submit to the demands of the Earth Alliance, and Shinn lost his family in the invasion that followed. Once the war was over, Shinn emigrated to the PLANTs and enlisted in the ZAFT forces. Still haunted by the fate of his family, he is determined to gain the power to protect those who are important to him.
- Aboard the Archangel, Cagalli berates the crew for abducting her in the middle of her wedding ceremony. Kira gives Athrun's ring back to her, and gently asks Cagalli to join them in seeking a better answer to the world's problems. After learning that the Minerva has left Orb, Athrun at last rejoins the ship at Carpentaria, bringing with him new orders from Chairman Durandal. Talia is surprised to learn that Durandal has made her a FAITH member as well, and by the details of the Minerva's next assignment. Their new mission will take them into western Eurasia, where ZAFT is launching a campaign against the Earth Forces' Suez base.
- Lacus returns to space and joins her allies aboard the warship Eternal, which is now hidden inside a cluster of asteroids. Chairman Durandal orders his forces to continue searching for Lacus, insisting that she is merely an impostor. Alone in his office, Durandal ponders the chance meeting that brought Lacus and Kira together, and questions whether it was coincidence or fate. Thinking back on his own life and the choices he has made, he wonders whether he might have found happiness along another path. In his imagination, Durandal hears the mocking voice of Rau Le Creuset.
- Though the skies above the Coordinator's armory of military secrets has been darkened by the hungry flames of newfound conflict, from those same skies a possible savior sweeps down bearing a sword of justice. Thrust into his first real battle, Shin immediately has to contend with a menacing threat. Three of the PLANT's most sophisticated and deadly combat mobile suits have been stolen, by a group of mysterious young pilots hell-bent on taking the weapons for purposes unknown. Tasked with stopping them, it is all he can do to try and prevent them from breaching the wall of the PLANT colony and dooming mankind to another time of war. As the situation grows further and further out of hand, and Orb representative Cagalli Yula Attha and her bodyguard, Athrun Zala (under the false name of Alex Dino) are caught in the struggle, PLANT Chairman Gilbert Dullindal has no choice but to launch the Minerva, the new warship ZAFT had intended to operate the stolen mobile suits from. Meanwhile, aboard his ship cloaked in the invisibility of the mirage colloid, the mysterious masked commander Neo Roanoke awaits word from his pilots... those very same young warriors who have braved the might of ZAFT to steal out from under them their weapons of greatest power. Launching a sneak attack against ZAFT's guard ships that catches everyone by surprise and brightly paints the cosmos with flame, the cunning Neo seems somehow familiar, but just how, no one yet can say.
- Shinn and Rey struggle against the enemy commander Neo Roanoke. In order to help her pilots, ZAFT Captain Talia Gladys orders the newly constructed warship Minerva to launch from Armory One and join the battle. The enemy forces withdraw, and the Minerva gives chase. Although Cagalli and Athrun have ended up aboard the Minerva, the apologetic Chairman Durandal informs them that there is no time to send them home to Orb. Durandal gives Cagalli a tour of the ship, and she reacts with anger to the sight of all ZAFT's new weaponry.
- Chairman Durandal tells the horrified Athrun the details of the Earth Forces' latest attack on the PLANTs. Giving up his Alex Dino alias, Athrun admits his true identity and begs Durandal not to let this conflict escalate into another war. As the citizens of the PLANTs call for revenge, the impostor Lacus Clyne appears on their screens to calm their anger. Durandal admits that he has created a false Lacus to influence the PLANT citizens, and tells Athrun that he wishes to make use of his strengths as well. After offering Athrun the use of a powerful new Gundam, Durandal leaves him to consider his options. Meer Campbell, the Lacus impersonator, meets Athrun again and invites him to dinner.
- The Atlantic Federation and its allies declare war on the PLANTs in response to the fall of Junius Seven. Although Chairman Durandal still hopes for a diplomatic solution, the ZAFT forces are mobilized to defend the PLANTs. Yzak and his comrade Dearka Elsman join the battle only to discover that they are fighting decoys while the Earth Forces attack the PLANTs with nuclear weapons. As the battle rages, Athrun waits on the sidelines for a chance to talk to Durandal. He is surprised to encounter a young woman who looks just like Lacus, and is even more stunned when the impostor greets him as if they were long-separated lovers.
- Thanks to Shinn's fighting prowess, the Minerva has overcome the Earth Forces fleet. As the ship continues on to Carpentaria, the Orb government concludes its alliance with the Atlantic Federation. Yuna Roma Seiran, the son of Orb's prime minister, pressures Cagalli to accept his marriage proposal in order to unite their nation. Now that Orb has aligned itself with the Earth Forces, Kira and his friends are considering leaving for the PLANTs. But their plans are disrupted when their home is attacked by Coordinator special forces who have been sent to assassinate Lacus, and Kira is forced to enter the battlefield once again.
- The conflict continues to escalate as Earth Forces fleets encircle the ZAFT bases at Gibraltar and Carpentaria, and the PLANT Supreme Council decides to strike back in the name of self-defense. Despite her best intentions, Cagalli yields to her ministers' demands that Orb ally itself with the Atlantic Federation. The Minerva receives a warning message and prepares to leave Orb before it is too late. In the PLANTs, Athrun visits the grave of his old comrade Nicol Amalfi. He is escorted by Yzak and Dearka, who urge him to return to the ZAFT forces. And back in Orb, Cagalli faces a fateful decision of her own.
- As the Minerva makes its way through the Indian Ocean, it draws the attention of an old enemy, Neo Roanoke of the elite Phantom Pain taskforce. Neo calls in support from the nearby Earth Forces and launches an aerial assault on the Minerva. But while Shinn and Athrun battle the enemy in the air, the Minerva and its submarine escort come under attack from the water as well. Shinn is drawn away from the battlefield and discovers the construction site of an Earth Forces frontline base. He is outraged to realize that the Earth Forces are using the local civilians for forced labor, and begins wiping out the enemy soldiers in a destructive rampage.
- Although the Requiem cannon has missed the PLANT capital of Aprilius, it has wreaked vast destruction on the surrounding PLANTs. In response, ZAFT sends its lunar orbital fleet to attack Requiem's first relay station, while the Minerva rushes to the Daedalus base to capture the cannon itself. As the Earth Forces prepare to fire a second shot, the Minerva and its Gundam pilots desperately fight their way through the enemy lines. But this time, Shinn and Rey are merely decoys, for the success of the operation and the survival of the PLANTs rest on Lunamaria's shoulders.
