This three-part OAV adventure picks up one year after the conclusion of the Gundam Wing series. Earth and the Space Colonies have joined to form the Earth Sphere Unified Nation; after a brief reign as Queen, Relena Peacemaker has abdicated and is serving as a government minister. The Gundams have been hidden or sent into an orbit that impacts with the sun.

The fragile peace is shattered when the sinister Dekim Barton instigates a revolt to make Mariemeia, the illegitimate daughter of former OZ chief Treize Krushrenada, absolute ruler of the new nation: part of an Endless Waltz of "peace, war, and revolution." If Earth refuses to accept her rule, they will crash one of the orbiting colonies into the planet's surface. Naturally, only the Gundam pilots Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Chang can resolve this crisis--with a little help from their friends and former enemies.

Told largely through flashbacks, the story reveals the backgrounds of the pilots. When peace is restored, they trigger the self-destruct circuits in their Gundams and the narrator announces that Mobile Suits "were never seen again." But fans know that in the Gundam universe, there's always the chance of a sequel. (Rated 7 and older: cartoon violence, largely restricted to machines attacking each other) --Charles Solomon
