Relena, now a Vice Minister for foreign affairs for the Earth Sphere Unified Nation (ESUN) government, is abducted during a diplomatic meeting on L3's X-18999 colony.

Heero and Duo, having learned of Relena's abduction, decide to investigate and send Quatre on a dangerous mission to recover the Gundams, while Trowa learns about Dekim's latest bid for power and decides to stop him.

02: Operation Meteor Comparison Script | OperationMeteor.pdf | Screen Captures As they arrive at X-18999, Heero and Duo are met by Wufei and Trowa, who attack them using their mobile suits. It soon becomes evident that Trowa infiltrated Mariemaia's army in order to allow his friends to infiltrate the colony. Meanwhile, Mariemaia declares war on the Earth Sphere Unified Nation and departs for Earth with Relena. While this happens, Zechs Merquise, now a ESUN agent, approaches the MO-II asteroid where Mariamaia's forces prepare themselves for the impending assault on Earth, and threatens to blow it to pieces with the Tallgeese III. Dekim responds with a threat that he will drop the MO-II to Earth unless Zechs retreats. Left without recourse, Zechs waits. |

Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz Movie
In 1998 the original three OVAs were later combined into a motion picture that
borrowed the material from the three OVA episodes, re-ordered the segments, and
added additional footage for a theatrical release in August of that year. The
only material deleted from the OVA release is the ending segments from Return To
Forever, which were changed and replaced with new ones. This movie version was
also released in North America in 2000 along with the OVA version. Also known as
New Mobile War Chronicle Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
Special Edition.

Gundam Evolve 7 Screen Captures This episode begins with a Heero setting the timer on an explosive device, then changes to a scene with Doctor J, apparently imprisoned. He is seated at a desk and surrounded with his personal effects (a laptop computer, a moosehead on the wall, an ornate shelf clock). He talks to a visitor on the other side of the prison bars about recent history as the scene switches back to Heero to escaping the facility he has just sabotaged. The guards catch up to him, but he uses a nearby WF-02MD Virgo II to distract them and make his way into the hanger containing the Wing Zero Custom. Heero makes his way into the cockpit and uses Wing's twin buster rifle to create an escape route out of the base's hangar. He is pursued by Virgo IIs along the length of the facility, and the mobile suits chase each other and interweave amidst the framework of the satellite. After dealing with his pursuers, Heero attacks the cannon directly with his beam rifle as the bombs begin to go off. Doctor J finishes his narration, commenting to his visitor (now revealed as Relena Peacecraft) that he chose Heero's codename personally. As the satellite explodes, Heero flies into the camera, and the episode ends with 'MISSION COMPLETE' and a fade to back. |
