Synopsis[]

GundamWep08a

The Gundams at New Edwards.

Trowa and Wufei continue to fight off Leos and Tragos on the front line. They break into a hangar and steal two carriers. Meanwhile, the other three Gundams remain among the mobile suit wreckage, in shock over what happened. Heero is very upset about his mistake. Leos arrive and attack them; Duo and Quatre get out of the way, but Heero doesn't move. Overhead, Wufei and Trowa fly by.

GundamWep08b

Sally Po tries to stop OZ.

On the sea, a large group of OZ ships are heading by. Lady Une informs Treize that Zechs is attacking Luxembourg, she'll take the task of eliminating the Gundams. Une calls up a nearby OZ control center and has them activate the self-destruct missiles held beneath the New Edwards Base. In an Alliance plane overhead, Major Sally Po is upset to hear about this and heads there. They arrive there armed, but are too late as the OZ commander activates the system, leaving the base with only 15 minutes until it explodes. Sally tries to decode it with no luck, but she believes that the Gundam pilot she knows (Heero) can prevent the explosion.

GundamWep08c

Wing Gundam tries to get underground.

Back at New Edwards, Duo and Quatre fight off the attacking Leos while Heero continues to stand still and allow his Gundam to take damage. However, Heero comes to his senses when Sally makes an announcement over the loudspeaker informing them of the bombs underneath them. They don't have time to escape, so Heero heads over to the missile silo to stop the detonation. He makes an opening with Wing Gundam's beam saber and then jumps out its cockpit, into the silo. Quatre informs him of the central missiles location, and Heero shuts it off with less than two seconds to spare. Heero gets out of the base, successful, yet still upset over killing the Alliance leaders.

GundamWep08d

Heero leaves the base.

Meanwhile, Duo and Quatre both escape in planes. On his ship, Lady Une informs Treize of what happened. Treize is glad they stopped an explosion that would have unnecessarily polluted the Earth, and tells Une to learn more about OZ. In Luxembourg, Noin sits on a motorcycle while Zechs infiltrates the main headquarters. He confronts Brigadier General Daigo Onegell, the man who ordered the invasion of the Sanc Kingdom years before. Zechs kills him, but not before Onegell recognizes him as 'Milliardo Peacecraft'.

GundamWep08e

Zechs takes his revenge.

Lady Une is on one of the OZ ships when suddenly Trowa and Wufei arrive in their carriers. Wufei crashes into a ship, heavily damaging it. Une realizes that the other plane contains a Gundam as well, and orders it to be shot down. It crashes onto the ship deck, and Trowa gets out in Heavyarms. Leos attack Heavyarms and are wiped out. Une orders them to throw it in the sea and attack it with Cancers.

GundamWep08f

Lady Une fights Shenlong.

Meanwhile, Wufei gets out of the plane wreckage in Shenlong and wreaks havoc on the other ships. A Leo is catapulted at Heavyarms, knocking it into the Cancer-filled waters. Lady Une heads to the mobile suit dock and gets in a Leo equipped with an Aries styled jet booster. She attacks Shenlong in it, but the fight is over quickly as Shenlong tears the Leo's arm off. Treize's ship is nearby, and Treize blasts the horn, signaling that he wants to duel with Wufei. Wufei grabs his sword and jumps out of his Gundam's cockpit, onto Treize's ship.

GundamWep08g

Treize defeats Wufei.

Treize and Wufei fight, and Treize wins when Wufei carelessly gives too much attention to his strike. Treize lets him go, and he plummets into the sea in Shenlong. Lady Une wonders why Treize let the Gundam pilot go; he says because he was heroic enough to battle out of a mobile suit, his specialty. He hopes for a rematch in a mobile suit battle. Underwater, Trowa finishes off the Cancers and notices Wufei, too depressed to respond.
