Synopsis of Fallen Angel
During the Christmas Eve battle of the year Colony 195 Gundam Pilot Heero Yuy in his mobile suit Wing Zero descends into Earth's atmosphere to prevent the impact of the remains of the space battleship Libra from hitting Earth which would have made an extinction level event. Heero turned Wing Zero's powerful buster rifle on the battleship however the combination of the rifle with a solar storm ripped open a small portal in the universe sending Heero Yuy into another universe.
That universe was in the middle of a war between the natural born humans of the Earth Alliance and the genetically modified humans called Coordinators of the space colonies of ZAFT. Heero appeared at the moment the Earth Alliance prototype ship Archangel and their last experimental mobile suit the Strike descending to Earth while being chased by a ZAFT team which had stolen the other experimental mobile suits.
Heero went on to fight in the war alongside pilot of the Strike the coordinator Kira Yamato, the Archangel and her crew. Wing Zero became a key part in the war since unlike the other models which ran out of power Wing Zero didn't and combined with the Zero operating system which feed all combat information to the pilot made Heero a threat on the battlefield. The Archangel journeyed across the world being chased by the Zaft team which had stolen the other prototype mobile suits before reaching the safety of the Earth Alliance Military HQ of JOSH-A base in Alaska.
Knowing that Zaft was planning an attack on the base which they couldn't stop the high command of the Earth Alliance decided to set a trap of Josh-A by evocating the base of key military units before destroying the base in a massive explosion which would take a large part of the Zaft attacking force with it. The Archangel was assigned to stay along with Heero in Wing Zero, luckily at the last moment Kira Yamato which had been believed killed return in a stolen Zaft suit the Freedom. Once it was clear that they were traitors to the Earth Alliance they journeyed to the neutral island nation of Orb.
The neutral nation of Orb dedicated to strength and the idea that they would not interfere with the conflicts of other nations and whose ruler only daughter Cagalli fought as a rebel in the sands of Africa against Zaft when the Archangel first arrived on Earth seemed like a safe spot. Then the Earth Alliance lost their last entress to space when Zaft captured the Mass Driver in Panama. With no other mass drivers in reach they launched an attack on Orb in an attempt to get ahold of the driver and entress to space. During the battle Wing Zero along with the Freedom held off the invading forces including new prototype mobile suits along with the new standard mobile suit based off the Strike. During the battle a Zaft Pilot and Kira's childhood friend Athrun Zala joined the fight in the Zaft mobile suit Justice. Together with the Archangel and another recovered prototype mobile suit the Buster piloted by the same Zaft pilot who stole it Dearka Elsmen. Even with the forces of the Wing Zero, the Freedom and the Justice Orb couldn't stand up against the forces of the Earth Alliance and so scaficing everything else the Leadership of Orb including Cagalli's father sent a warship along with Archangel and her mobile suits into space before destroying the Mass driver.
On top of the death of her father and the loss of her nation Cagalli had to come to grips with the fact that her father had adopted her and Kira Yamato was really her brother. In space they were joined by Athrun's arranged fiancée Lacus Clyne and her rebel Zaft group. The daughter of the former leader of the Zaft and most famous vocalist in the world. They fought multiple battles in space before the final battle where Athrun's father the current leader of ZAFT Patrick Zala moved a powerful beam weapon toward Earth to destroy all natural humans once in for all. At the moment of its firing Heero Yuy in Wing Zero moved in between the beam targeting array and while being protected by a traitorous Zaft Pilot Yzak Joule destroyed the weapon. The combination of the Wing Zero's beam and the ZAFT weapon opened another rip in the universes around a mobile suit however Wing Zero wasn't the mobile suit. Instead Yzak Joule in his Duel mobile suit was sent to Heero's old Universe. Believing that both Heero and Yzak where killed their friends mourned for their lost and moved on to protect the peace they had won unaware that Heero had journey back to Orb and with the help of Orb's top military scientist began work on a New Suit to replace Wing Zero.
Back in Heero's old universe his friends and his sort of girlfriend Relena Peacecraft learned that he may be alive in another universe and began work on a way to get him back. While work was being done a new threat rose up when the disillusioned soldiers of the first war rose up under the leadership of the daughter of their slain leader Treize Khushrenada. They quickly overrun the disarmed Earth Unified Nation and was only defeated when the four remaining gundam pilots of Due Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Raberba Winner and Chang Wufei along with their allies Zechs Merquise, Lucrezia Noin and Yzak Joule are able to stop them and return peace to the world. With peace finally at hand Yzak believing he is stuck in an all-natural universe gets a call informing him that groups of people want to start creating coordinators of their own and they want them to lead them.
Back in his old universe peace was coming to an end after two short years when an attack of highly trained drugged up soldier naturals called extended attacked the Zaft military base of Armory One and stole three prototype mobile suits. A battle took place as Zaft other experimental suit called the Impulse piloted by an Orb refugee named Shinn Asuka did battle with them. With advance knowledge of a possible attack Heero Yuy in Wing Zero had prepared himself to engage the enemy. Even with the backup of Heero Yuy the three mobile suits where stolen and a chase began with the Zaft's newest warship the Minerva. Heero joined the chase onboard the Minerva where he meet the crew including a young female Zaft Pilot named Lunamaria Hawke. Also onboard were his old friends Athrun Zala and Cagalli who had been visiting the Zaft home colonies the PLANTS at the time of the attack as the leader of Orb. Over the two years the two of them had become a couple along with Kira and Lacus. Other the same time Heero, Kira and Athrun had become known across the world as the Legendary Three Gundam Pilots.
While they chased the stolen ships they learned that the remains of the nuked Plant Colony Junius Seven which had started the first war was now falling toward Earth. The event was caused by a splinter group of Zaft who wanted to make the natural's pay for what they did when they nuked the colony at the start of the war. The Minerva quickly launched an operation to stop the fall with Heero and Athrun taking point however they failed and the colony broke up into thousands of pieces striking at points around the world killing millions and leaving more homeless. It was in this battle that Wing Zero first showed its age as one of its powerful engines exploded. Damage and in need of repairs the Minerva journey to Orb for repairs while anger of the attack grew. While the Minerva was being repaired Heero warned Lunamaria that a second war was coming and that the Zaft warship had to leave because the new leadership of Orb was going to sell them out to the Earth Alliance without their leader Cagalli knowing about it. Late one night a group of Zaft Special Forces launches an attack on the beach side Orphanage where Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne are hiding out. The teams are sent to kill Lacus so that a double could take her place in the Plants they fail when Heero along with Kira defeat them. The Freedom returns to the battlefield and the Archangel prepares for the coming war.
The Minerva's Captain Talia Gladys doesn't follow Heero's advice and gets caught in Orb at the start of the second war. In the opening moments of the war the Earth Alliance launched a nuclear attack on the Plants only to be destroyed by a defensive beam weapon. Meanwhile in Orb Dearka Elsmen who had spent time in prison for betraying Zaft in the first war had just been freed and arrived along with his girlfriend the former communication operator of the Archangel, Miriallia Haw.They were met by Heero who along with Orb's top mobile suit designer Erica Simmons to take the newly built Buster Destroyer and rejoin the Archangel along with Kira and the rest of their friends to end the war.
Unwilling to rejoin the Archangel believing that the key to ending the war rested on the Minerva Heero joined them taking part in the battle off the coast of Orb allowing the Minerva to escape into ZAFT controlled parts of Earth. While on the Minerva Heero had a conflict filled relationship with Shinn because he blamed Heero for the death of his parents and sister in the first war. This hatred only grew when Heero informed him that he had killed Shinn's parents with a missed shot from his buster rifle. With this knowledge Lunamaria confronted Heero on why he told Shinn that only to learn that it was lie so that Shinn would have someone to hate to make him strong until he "fell" in love. It was then that Heero told Luna about his past actions in his old universe. Over the war they were joined by Athrun who had been reinstated into Zaft by the new leader of Plants Gilbert Durandal. They journey around the world pushing the Earth Alliance back and freeing different parts of the world which had risen up against them.
While the Minerva fought in the war Orb had fallen into the Earth Alliance and Cagalli was to be forced to marry another minister against her will.Luckily at the Alter her brother in the Freedom kidnapped her and brought her onto the Archangel however Orb and her military fell under the Earth Alliance. This lead to a battle between the Orb navy and the Minerva in which an entire Orb fleet was lost. During the battle after seeing Luna mobile suit heavy damaged and seeing her badly injured Heero let the Zero system take over and in a rage he destroyed the Orb fleet. In the battle Zero made Heero decided between his former girlfriend Relena and Lunamaria, he picked Luna.
While Heero was falling for Luna, Shinn had also fallen for a young woman he had met in a town the Minerva had visited. That woman, Stella was in fact one of the natural extended drugged super soldiers which had stolen the Gaia Gundam from Armory One. When the Minerva uncovered the extended training center Stella rushed out in the Gaia to reclaim it against orders. The Gaia was quickly defeated by Shinn's Impulse gundam letting Shinn know that his love was the enemy. He brought her onboard only to learn that the Earth Alliance had edited her memories to forget him. At the same moment Heero learned though the records at the extended base that the same men who had built the gundams in his universe created the extended in this one. To make matters more complex it turned out that Stella was in fact the younger sister of this universe's version of himself who had been killed. To save his sister who was dyeing without Alliance drugs Shinn and Heero joined forces and allowed Shinn to escape with Stella and returned her to the Alliance. At the same moment Heero left to return to Orb to find a cure for Stella.
With the help of an Orb doctor Heero discovered the cure which would free Stella from the drugs allowing her to live the Earth Alliance launched a massive attack on Berlin with the Stella in a new giant gundam the Destroyer. With thousands dyeing the Archangel and the Freedom joined forces with the Minerva and the Impulse to fight the Destroyer. When Shinn learned that the pilot of the Destroyer was Stella he couldn't fight and Heero stepped in. With a jab of a beam saber Heero brought down the Destroyer in a giant explosion. Filled with fear of the death of Heero Luna broke down in tears until she saw Wing Zero appear out of the blast. While Luna was crying an uncontrollable rage filled up within Shinn as he launched an attack on Wing Zero believing Heero had just killed his love. Wing Zero didn't fight instead he quickly pulled out and headed away from the battle as fast as possible with Stella knocked out in his arms.
With Heero going rogue from the position he held on the Minerva the chairman of the Plants Gilbert Durandal declares that the Archangel, Freedom and Wing Zero are standing in the way of his plan that would bring an overall lasting peace to the world. The Minerva gives chase to the Archangel and a battle takes place in the frozen fields of Northern Europe in which the Freedom is destroyed and the Archangel seems to have also been destroyed as well. At the moment the Freedom and the Archangel are declared destroyed by Zaft Heero in Wing Zero appear to do battle with Shinn and the Minerva. Wing Zero critically damageddestroys itself in a cloud of smoke and fire taking her pilot with her. Stella arrives in a new white Gaia mobile suit and is taken by the Minerva crew. Onboard the Minerva believing that Heero has been killed Luna starts crying only to discover Heero waiting for her in her room. After a short conversation when Heero explains that he may love her he kisses her before leaving her in her room. While the Minerva was returning to port Heero hacks into the computer system bring the speed up to match the speed of the approaching pod. Then doing a midair jump Heero leaves the Minerva and gets onboard the pod which quickly breaks apart as Heero activates his new Gundam Wing Angel. With improved Gundamian phase shift armor and weapon system the Wing Angel is a powerful machine but the biggest change was the upgraded Zero system, the Angel system which improves the combatcapabilities of the Zero system while allow more pilot emotion to come across.
With Heero's return to the battlefield he journeyed to the Archangel to reconate with them, while the Minerva rests in port. While in Port the Zaft Chairman Durandal offers to two new gundams to Athrun and Shinn. Athrun turns against the chairman and with the help of Luna's younger sister Meyrin Hawke tries to escape from the base to find the Archangel. While Athrun and Meyrin where escaping Heero met Luna in her room for a second time and talked again before leaving to help Athrun who was escaping in a stolen mobile suit. Saving Athrun and Meyrin and defeating the two new Zaft Gundams the Destiny piloted by Shinn and the Legend piloted by Rey Za Burrel Heero moved on and destroyed the Zaft base but without damaging either the Minerva or the hotel where both Chairman Durandal and Luna was staying. Seeing Heero's mobile suit in the fire and smoke Luna admits to herself that she loves the legendary gundam pilot.
While the Zaft forces where rebuilding Chairman Durandal uncovered Heero and Luna's relationship and planned to use it for his own advantaged while he plotted to take down his main target the anti-Coordinator group LOGUS. This came to a head at the battle at Heaven's base in Iceland where Zaft along with multiple allies from the World did battle with LOGUS. The battle began to turn against ZAFT when multiple Distoryer Gundams appeared and began to destroy the Zaft forces, realizing that she couldn't side with ZAFT with the Chairman in charge Luna who is now piloting the Impulse singles Heero who enters the fight. With the battle in Zaft hands Heero along with Luna make their exit leaving them behind. Most of LOGUS is killed or captured but the head Lord Djibril escapes to Orb.
When Heero was saving Luna, Kira Yamato received a message from Lacus who had journey to space in order to gain support has been discovered and needs help. Leaving at once to save her he gets to her ship which is under attack quickly he launches in his new improved Gundam the Strike Freedom. Quickly dispatching with the attacking force they now have to deal with the Zaft fleet gathering off ORB preparing to take it by force if ORB doesn't hand over Lord Djibril.
When the deadline was reached the Zaft forces launch their attack and quickly began overwhelming the poorly set up defensives of the new Orb leadership. With her nation in trouble Cagalli entrusts Heero to take command of the few forces loyal to her as she fights to defend her nation and reclaiming it all at the same time. The battle between Orb and Zaft takes another twist as the Minerva who flew half way around the world arrives and enters the fight. Heero does battle with Shinn in his Destiny Gundam at the height of the Battle Kira arrives bring a new gundam the Infinite Justice for Athrun to use. Quickly the Legendary Three gundam pilot all enter the fight forcing Zaft into a stalemate as Cagalli regains control of her nation. Once a stalemate had been reached Lord Djibril escaped into space in a hidden shuttle, knowing that their prey had escaped and that taking the island would cost too much they fall back.
With Cagalli now back in control she focused on explaining the evils of both Djibril and Chairman Durandal however Durandal interrupted her and with the fake Lacus explaining the greatness of Durandal. In a surprise move the real Lacus stood beside Cagalli to explain that the one in the Plants was a fake and that Durandal isn't working for peace. At the same moment Heero hacks into Durandal's own computer and shares all the files on the fake Lacus with the world. The surprise caused Durandal to end his transmission as he tried to save the situation at hand. It was then situation became even more deadly as LOGUS uses its most powerful weapon a moon mounted beam weapon with the power to ark around different preplaced stations called Requiem destroying multiple PLANT colonies. At once ZAFT launches an all out attack on the Moon base with the Minerva launching from Earth to join in the attack. Also launching from Earth to take part in the attack was Heero Yuy who had decided to join the Orb military. The battle is won and Lord Djibril dead Chairman Durandal made the announcement of his ultimate program to create a peaceful world, the Destiny Plan.
Unwilling to accept the idea that free will would be taken away at the expense of having one's gene decide their fate. The Archangel along with the ORB military prepare to launch an attack to end Durandal and his plan. The remains of the Earth Alliance was planning to join the fight against Durandal however he destroyed their Luna fleet with the captured Requiem beam weapon. With no time left they launch an attack before Durandal could fire on Orb. With the battle at its height Heero does battle with Shinn while Athrun attacks Requiem disabling it. The Minerva goes down and together with Heero, Kira brings down the giant space station Durandal had built killing him and ending the second war. With peace finally reached Cagalli is reinstated as the Leader of Orb with Athrun joining her. In the Plants Lucas becomes head Chairwoman with Kira at her side. Heero and Luna share a moment in Orb as they form a group of the top pilots from the Nations of ORB, Plants and the Earth Alliance who would work to prevent all future wars with Heero in charge, Angel Squadron comes into being.
