Four years have passed since the final battle between Celestial Being and
the UN Forces. Humanity, having established the Earth Sphere Federation, forms
an autonomous peace-keeping force, A-Laws, separate from and above the formal
Federation army. Given unfettered discretion, A-Laws is charged with the duty
to further unify nations, enforce the will of mankind, and dispose of terrorist
cells. Unknown to the general public, however, is that the A-Laws misuse their
power and employ inhumane tactics to oppress freedoms, doctrines, and
ideologies, all in the name of 'unity'.
Meanwhile, Setsuna tries to confront the A-Laws by himself with his battered Gundam Exia, but is easily overpowered by their newer models. He is soon rescued by Tieria Erde, piloting his new mobile suit, the Seravee Gundam. By combining the GN Drives of Exia and 0 Gundam, Celestial Being's engineers manage to complete Aeolia's plans for an advanced mobile suit with twin GN drives - the 00 Gundam - which is entrusted to Setsuna. To pilot the two remaining new units, Lockon Stratos' twin brother is invited to assume his brother's codename and former position as the pilot of the Cherudim Gundam, and after Allelujah Haptism is rescued from the prison he was being detained in during the timeskip, he assumes the command of Arios Gundam. Saji Crossroad reclutantly joins Setsuna to pilot the upgraded 00 Raiser and confront his fiance Louise Halevy who has joined A-Laws.
Unknown to Celestial Being and the A-Laws, a third party is manipulating
both sides of the conflict. This group call themselves "Innovators",
composed of Alejandro Corner's former assistant Ribbons Almark, and his six
subordinates. Subsequently, it is revealed that Aeolia Schenberg's plan is to
ensure humanity's survival; unite the world's factions through Celestial
Being's armed interventions and then advance humanity into deep space and
undergo Innovation, a trans-human process.
After uncovering the truth about Ribbons' true intentions, Celestial Being
joins forces with dissident members of the A-Laws to stop their oppression and
bring the fight to the Innovators. Being continuously exposed to the GN
particles of the fully completed Gundam 00, Setsuna undergoes Innovation,
becoming the first true Innovator with powers far greater than Ribbons and his
group. The conflict ends in a final showdown between Ribbons and Setsuna with
the latter's victory. The story continues in 'Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the
Movie: A Wakening of the Trailblazer.

Due to
the conflict between the Katharon rebel group and the Federation's A-Laws
task force, the A-Laws raid a colony under construction to arrest several
Katharon members and a falsely accused Saji
Crossroad, who is then forced to do high gravity labor on the
Proud Colony. When the A-Laws intercept Katharon's prisoner rescue and many
inmates are killed, Saji is saved by Setsuna F
Seiei, who has infiltrated the colony to investigate more about
the A-Laws. When Setsuna is unable to hold off the A-Laws' mobile suits in
his battered Gundam Exia, Tieria Erde arrives in the Gundam Seravee and
drives off the enemy. Saji is brought aboard the Ptolemaios II, but is
detained when he, now aware of Setsuna's identity as a Gundam Meister,
threatens to kill Setsuna.

Being. As the three head for space, A-Laws ambushes the Ptolemaios II upon a
tip from Ribbons Almark. The Seravee manages to hold
them off long enough for Setsuna to start up the previously unstable 00
Gundam and he drives back the A-Laws task force, demonstrating the power of
the new Twin Drive System. Back on the Ptolemaios II, the crew welcome back
Sumeragi, but are shocked to see Lyle, who is Lockon Stratos' twin
brother.

Federation officials at the recommendation of Wang Liu Mei to discover the
true leader behind A-Laws, Ribbons Almark. Disguised as a woman, Tieria meets
Ribbons who reveals to him that according to Aeolia's plan, Tieria should
have died with the rest of Celestial Being four years ago. Refusing to join
the Innovators, Tieria is forced to flee when his attempt to kill Ribbons is
halted by another Innovator, Hiling Care. However, out of earshot, Regene
reveals that Aeolia was obsessively attached to the first phase of his plan
and that the end result of the entire plan hinges on the outcome of the
conflict between Celestial Being and Ribbons. In the meantime, Setsuna, who
was sent as Tieria's backup, is exposed to Louise as a member of Celestial
Being by Billy Katagiri and joins Tieria in escaping via their Gundams but

and Setsuna's involvement with the KPSA, admitting that he doesn't share
Neil's need for retribution. The A-Laws attempt to intercept the Ptolemaios
II's return to space; the Ptolemaios' successful escape forces Commander
Homer Katagiri to accept Innovator assistance to prevent any more sacrifices.
Kati sends a message to Celestial Being expressing respect for Leesa Kujo's
tactics; Sumeragi realizes not only is Kati a member of the A-Laws, but she

Surviving
Katharon members plan for negotiations with the Suille Kingdom, the only
country in the Middle East with considerable military power and political
will to oppose the A-Laws. Meanwhile, Sumeragi leads Celestial Being in
returning to their asteroid base, where Setsuna and Allelujah retrieve the
0-Raiser and the GN Archer. A subsequent test run of combining 00 Gundam's
Twin Drive System with the 0-Raiser's Trans-Am System reveals the mobile's
suit's true potential, surpassing even Celestial Being's design expectations.
Elsewhere, the A-Laws activate the new Memento Mori orbital bombardment
laser, destroying the Suille Kingdom's capital and killing the Katharon
agents who were negotiating with the Suillean government; Sergei witnesses
the atrocity. Marie senses Sergei's immediate danger and Allelujah's
alternate Hallelujah personality briefly resurfaces.

destroy the superweapon. Nena Trinity expresses discontent with Wang Liu Mei
for helping the people who killed her brothers. Tieria, after witnessing the
devastation, decides to tell his comrades about the Innovators. When A-Laws
forces led by Kati attack Celestial Being's asteroid base, everyone are
forced to flee and Anew Returner joins the crew as the Ptolemaios II's pilot.
During the ensuing battle, Ian Vashti is injured, leaving Saji to deliver the
0-Raiser to the 00 Gundam. The combined unit, the 00-Raiser, is able to
easily outperform the A-Laws attackers, but when Setsuna activates the
00-Raiser's Trans-Am system, he and everyone in the area are affected by the
particles and are able to hear the voices of everyone in range of the
particle output - including Saji and Louise, who are shocked to learn that
the other is in the action and on opposing sides.

The
00-Raiser's Trans-Am abilities enable it to outclass and outmaneuver the
Innovators' mobile suits, forcing them to flee in escape pods as their units
are destroyed. In the aftermath of the battle, Ribbons orders Revive Revival
and Bring Stabity to capture the 00; the Innovators question Ribbons' true
knowledge of Aeolia's plan and the Twin Drive System. Saji, Louise, and
Setsuna cope with Saji and Louise's positions on opposing sides; Louise
concludes Saji has always been a member of Celestial Being and strives to
forget him, while Saji struggles with the decision to fight and save Louise
or leave Celestial Being to be with her. After the Memento Mori's second
barrage destroys a military base and a nearby refugee camp, Sergei is ordered
to force witnesses from the Federation Army to conceal this information.
Memento Mori fires again and annihilates half of an incoming Katharon attack
force, surprising Celestial Being and Katharon that the weapon can fire into
space; without the element of surprise, the operation is at risk.

Katharon's
offensive against the Memento Mori goes poorly, with A-Laws' superior units
both nullifying the resistance's missile attacks and decimating their
obsolete mobile suits. The 00-Raiser's timely arrival saves the fleet from
being completely wiped out as Setsuna single-handedly takes on the A-Laws
forces and a new Gadessa mobile suit piloted by Hiling. The Ptolemaios II
approaches the Memento Mori head-on in its blind spot, but is soon forced
into the laser's firing path; however, the ship miraculously survives the
attack by using Arios' Trans-Am to dodge, and ensures its safety with
Cherudim's new Shield Bit system. Thanks to Nena Trinity's leaked
information, Tieria's Buster Cannon and a precise hit from Lockon exploits a
weakness in the Memento Mori and destroys the superweapon, taking Arba
Lindt's life in the process.

the Seraphim Gundam hidden in Seravee to kill Bring. Separated from his
comrades, Setsuna is lured by Ali into meeting Ribbons, who reveals that he
was responsible for saving Setsuna's life as the 0 Gundam's pilot and
influencing Veda to ensure Setsuna would become a Gundam Meister. However,
Ribbons now intends to claim the 00 Gundam as his own and has arranged for
Ali to kill Setsuna. In the heated battle that follows, Setsuna destroys the
Arche Gundam with the 00-Raiser's Trans-Am system, but is unable to kill
Al-Saachez himself when he suddenly hears Marina singing with the Katharon
orphans due to the effects of the Trans-Am. Meanwhile, Sergei learns that the
tension between the A-Laws and the Federation Army are festering into an
emerging coup d'etat led by his old friend Pang Hercury.

their plan to break through the siege laid by the Federation without Setsuna
and the 00-Raiser. Meanwhile, Setsuna, who is injured after his fight with
Ali, is forced to get medical help at Katharon's Suille base, where he has a
brief dream of Neil Dylandy before he finds himself being cared for by
Marina. The Ptolemaios II is soon forced to defend itself against an
overwhelming number of A-Laws mobile suits, but receives an unexpected
respite when the fleet suddenly falls back to deal with Hercury's coup at the

goal to open the people's eyes to the A-Laws' immoral actions when they
attempt to retake the orbital elevator by using their Automatons to kill both
rogue troops and the civilian hostages being evacuated down the elevator.
However, the government manipulates broadcasts of the automaton assault to
make the rebels appear as the ones killing the civilians. Meanwhile, Setsuna
is locked in battle with Mr. Bushido and his Trans-Am mode Masurao until the
Ptolemaios II and the other Gundam Meisters arrive on the scene. Bushido
falls back as Setsuna vows to change for Neil's sake. After analyzing the
unusual redeployment of Federation troops around the elevator, Sumeragi and
Kati are horrified to realize that the troops are anticipating the elevator's
collapse and that the A-Laws plan on completely destroying it. In space, a
second Memento Mori prepares to fire at the orbital elevator.

Despite
the best efforts of the 00-Raiser to destroy the second Memento Mori, killing

weapon is still sufficient to severely damage the elevator to the point that
it sheds its outer shell towards the surface below. The Gundams' efforts to
destroy the falling debris are helped by the combined efforts of Marie's GN
Archer, Katharon, the Federation Army, and Kati's A-Laws forces after
Sumeragi broadcasts an appeal for help. In the aftermath, also helping in the
matter with Louise in spite of orders, Sergei Smirnov's son Andrei kills
Hercury and associates his father with the coup. Wishing to avenge his
mother's death, Andrei destroys Sergei's unit as Marie arrives too late to
intervene.

is absorbed into A-Laws and Katharon's members are systematically hunted
down. Despite their success in destroying the second Memento Mori, Celestial
Being endures wave after wave of A-Laws attacks, thanks to an oblivious Anew's
networking with the Innovators. Tieria suggests to the Ptolemaios II crew
that the time is right for them to take back Veda. For that purpose, Sumeragi
designs a plan centered around capturing an Innovator and the plan begins as
the A-Laws attack yet again. Meanwhile, after Ribbons discards Wang Liu Mei,
Regene gives her the coordinates to Veda's core with instructions to deliver

the situation calls for it. When Revive, Anew, and Hiling return with new
machines, along with Louise in her new Regnant mobile armor, Celestial Being
must defend itself without the 00-Raiser. Lyle struggles in the Cherudim
against Anew and finally convinces her to return with him, but he is caught
off guard when Ribbons takes control of Anew. As she prepares to strike him
down, Setsuna appears and shoots her as he promised. In an alternate reality,

himself to allow Wang to escape. Wang gives Setsuna the coordinates to Veda.
He returns to the 00-Raiser, where Mr. Bushido challenges him to a duel,
revealing himself as Graham Aker. Nena catches up to Wang and kills her. But
knowing she would eventually turn on them, Ribbons takes control of Nena's
Haro and tells her that someone's coming to deliver judgment on her. Although
Nena thinks the person is Ali al-Saachez, it is actually Louise who delivers
the killing blow on her, finally avenging the deaths of her parents and
relatives at the cost of her sanity. During the duel, Graham and Setsuna
appear to each other in a GN particle-induced alternate reality, where
Setsuna, exhibiting signs of becoming a purebred Innovator, makes a
revelation: Aeolia Schenberg created the GN Drives and Celestial Being for
the sole purpose of preparing all of humanity for innovation.

Despite

his consciousness into another body. After dealing with Regene's treachery by
having Ali al-Saachez shoot him, Ribbons reveals his massive colony ship to
Celestial Being and fires a GN-Drive-powered particle cannon, destroying most
of the A-Laws fleet. Celestial Being assaults the Innovators' colony ship and
are countered by a swarm of Gaga units, which assume Trans-Am mode and launch
waves of kamikaze attacks. In the ensuing battle, Patrick Colasour sacrifices
himself to defend Kati's ship and the Seravee is completely wrecked by Hiling
and Revive in their new Trans-Am-equipped suits. In the meantime, Setsuna and
Saji confront Louise and Andrei; after disabling Andrei's Ahead, Setsuna
moves in on the Regnant while Saji contacts Louise. The Ptolemaios II manages
to enter the colony under cover from the Arios and GN Archer, but the ship is
quickly infiltrated by hordes of automatons. Lockon fights a losing battle
against Ali al-Saachez in his rebuilt Arche Gundam, while Soma's GN Archer
runs out of particles and is hit by a Gaga unit. Sumeragi heads out to face
the automatons swarming the Ptolemaios II, but is shocked to find they
are accompanied by Billy Katagiri, the supplier of the Innovators' Trans-Am
systems, who then pulls a gun on Sumeragi. Inside Veda's core, Ribbons is
stunned that Tieria managed to survive Seravee's destruction and is now
facing him at gunpoint.

The
battle between the 00-Raiser and the Regnant comes to its conclusion when a
Gaga attacks them both. Surviving the attack, Setsuna has Saji take Louise to
safety before Hilling and Revive attack the 00-Raiser. Meanwhile, inside
Veda's core, Tieria corners Ribbons and reveals that he knows the truth
behind their existence before Ribbons kills him. Elsewhere, Louise finds
herself in the company of Saji and attacks him, only to suffer a nervous
breakdown upon finding out that he kept his ring. As the battle escalates
with Hiling and Revive, Setsuna resorts to the 00-Raiser's Trans-Am system,
which triggers his abilities as a pure Innovator and he intercepts the
thoughts of his friends, comrades, and enemies. Frustrated with the grim
nature of the situation, Setsuna unconsciously activates the 00-Raiser's
Trans-Am Burst system and blankets the battlefield in pure GN particles,
driving Hiling and Revive off while causing a momentary ceasefire among
everyone. Seizing the moment, Setsuna infiltrates the colony and closes in on
Veda's position. Meanwhile, Tieria links his mind with Veda, severing
Ribbons' own connections and activating the Seraphim Gundam's Trial System to
shut down all the Innovators' units. With Veda secured, the forces of Celestial
Being wrap up their battles, including Lyle as he kills Ali to avenge his
family and gains a new conviction. Setsuna locates Veda's core and finds
Tieria dead but no sign of Ribbons. Before he can pursue Ribbons, Tieria
reveals his presence inside Veda to Setsuna and explains the entirety of
Aeolia Schenberg's plan to him. Setsuna departs for the Ptolemaios but when
Ribbons shoots down the Seraphim in his Reborn's Gundam, he prepares to do
battle one final time in the 00-Raiser.

In the

damaged by Ribbons and the other Innovators; however, assistance from the
other Meisters evens the odds. In the ensuing chaos, Allelujah/Hallelujah and
Lockon respectively kill Hilling and Revive while Ribbons and Setsuna are
exhausted from a round of heavy fighting. However, Ribbons manages to steal
one of the 00's GN Drives, which was 0 Gundam's, and puts it into the abandoned
0 Gundam. Setsuna, in turn, takes the remaining GN Drive and installs it in
the rebuilt Exia R2. After another difficult duel, Ribbons and Setsuna run
through each other with their swords but Setsuna emerges the victor when the
0 Gundam explodes. In the epilogue, the Federation reforms as its new
president disbands the A-Laws and pushes for better global peace; Saji and
Louise rekindle their relationship; Allelujah and Marie leave Celestial Being
to search for the meaning of their existence; Andrei Smirnov stays in the
military to preserve peace like his parents; Patrick Colasour and Kati
Mannequin (now a brigadier general) get married; Klaus and Shirin work as
politicians in the Federation Assembly; Marina returns with the children to
lead a rebuilt Azadistan; Graham Aker is seen visiting Billy Katagiri in his
office. As for Setsuna and Lyle, the latter now fully embracing his identity
as Lockon, the two leave with Celestial Being until another armed
intervention is needed as Tieria disappears into Veda to watch over the
world.
