The Reincarnators entered a technology-focused mission set in the Gundam 00 world, where they were assigned mercenary identities shortly before Celestial Being’s emergence. Xu Yue received a separate identity as a Celestial Being intelligence collector investigating a missing undercover agent, leaving him free to choose whether to aid the organization or its opponents.

• Lucille briefed the group on likely starting roles and mission conditions before they entered the Mission Space with their mechs.

Lucille’s group planned their next move in the Mission Space, where AEU would unveil a new mech in ten days and the Celestial Being Organization would begin its first major intervention. Corleon argued that opposing Celestial Being could let them capture Solar Furnaces, and Lucille asked Xu Yue to share his tactical assessment.

• Corleon proposed a rotating mech watch at the mercenary camp, and Lucille approved his arrangement.
• Lucille declined Sashes’s offer to bring his mercenaries along, so Sashes led his team away.
• Lucille briefed the group on the world’s alliances and the upcoming AEU mech unveiling, while Corleon recommended opposing Celestial Being to capture its units.

Xu Yue traveled to the coast with Jarvis, two mecha, and deployment containers, then boarded a cargo ship bound for the Human Innovation Alliance’s tenth-anniversary celebration. He planned to warn Lucille’s group about the Gundam operation and help with the coming terrorist attack.

• Xu Yue used a server in one deployment container to activate Jarvis and instructed it to stay hidden from VEDA and learn to control his mecha.
• Jarvis took control of the FLAG and made only basic movements with the modified Unit 02, while Xu Yue climbed into a helicopter sent to meet him.
• Xu Yue and the mecha boarded a cargo ship bound for the Solomon Islands and the Human Innovation Alliance’s Sky Ladder Orbit.
• Xu Yue planned to warn Lucille’s group about their attempt to seize the Gundams and intended to help the Human Innovation Alliance during the terrorist attack.

Xu Yue attended the Human Innovation Alliance’s orbital elevator anniversary celebration, where he met Celestial Being agent Wang Liu Mei and learned that a machine capable of rivaling Gundams might exist. He followed Saji Hashimirov to test an unarmed space-type Iron Man, leaving him positioned to respond when the celebration came under threat.

• Xu Yue arrived at the celebration space station aboard an orbital train, leaving FLAG and Unit 02 under Jarvis’s control in the company warehouse.
• Xu Yue greeted Wang Liu Mei, who privately questioned his report about machines capable of rivaling Gundams and took his wineglass so he would not drink before piloting.
• Saji Hashimirov told Xu Yue that the requested space-type Iron Man was ready and offered to accompany him for the test.
• Xu Yue followed Saji to two unarmed space-type Iron Mans, where Saji warned him to keep his distance from the fragile space station.

During a terrorist attack on the Human Reform League orbital elevator’s tenth-anniversary celebration, Xu Yue ignored Saji Hashimirov’s warning and rushed to intercept the attackers. He destroyed one enemy mecha and took its weapon, leaving Saji hopeful they could stop the assault.

• Terrorists approached the celebration space station through a dangerous low-orbit route, and the defenders realized too late that they could not reach the attackers in time.
• The commander learned that Saji Hashimirov, the Russian Bear, was nearby with Xu Yue and ordered Saji to stop the terrorists.
• Saji raced toward the attackers and told Xu Yue to return, but Xu Yue kept pace and insisted on joining the fight with a High-Frequency Vibration Dagger.
• Xu Yue overloaded his Iron Man, overtook Saji, and charged ahead while Saji prepared to provide covering fire.
• Xu Yue dodged the fire of seven enemy mecha, destroyed one by stabbing its cockpit, seized its firearm, and withdrew behind a meteoroid without serious damage.

Xu Yue defended the space station by destroying the six mechs sent to surround him, then helped Saji Hashimirov eliminate the three mechs carrying a fortress torpedo launcher. Saji saw the wreckage and wondered whether Xu Yue was still taking students.

• The terrorists split their forces, sending three mechs with anti-fortress equipment toward the space station while six prepared to surround Xu Yue.
• Saji Hashimirov charged toward the three heavy-firepower mechs, and Xu Yue emerged from behind an asteroid to draw the remaining six into battle.
• Xu Yue used carefully timed three-round bursts to destroy all six surrounding mechs.
• Saji Hashimirov harassed the three torpedo-carrying mechs and prepared to attack them at close range.
• Xu Yue fired on the three mechs from another direction, destroying them and detonating their torpedo launcher.
• Saji Hashimirov recognized Xu Yue as the pilot who had destroyed all six other mechs and wondered whether he was still taking students.

After Xu Yue helped Saji Hashimirov defeat terrorists, the station learned that a colossal mech had occupied the AEU solar orbital station. Xu Yue suspected a legion of Reincarnators was conducting a reckless destructive harvest, threatening the world and his own plans.

• Xu Yue joked with Saji Hashimirov after the battle, then left him to take the credit while returning to the banquet hall.
• An urgent bulletin reported chaos at the AEU mech unveiling, and footage showed a giant mech defeating two attackers before the recording ended.
• The news revealed that the giant mech had emerged from Lake Victoria, wiped out the AEU garrison, and forced mercenaries and four high-performance mechs to retreat.
• Wang Liu Mei asked Xu Yue about the giant mech, and he said he knew only about the mercenaries.
• Xu Yue concluded that the giant mech was likely a heavily modified machine backed by a legion of Reincarnators conducting destructive harvesting.

After escaping the giant mech, Lucille’s Saint Hill team chose to seek cooperation with its pilots, but their argument over Sun Lin’s Gundam Throne was interrupted when the machine appeared and charged toward them. The team realized the mech had tracked them down to eliminate them, leaving them facing another imminent attack.

• Lucille and Corleon assessed the giant mech as a legion’s weapon, and the team voted to pursue cooperation rather than confrontation.
• Lucille volunteered to contact the mech’s pilots, while Corleon asked Sun Lin to lend him her Gundam Throne so he could accompany her.
• Sun Lin refused Corleon’s demand, and he and the others pressured her by accusing her of endangering the team.
• Sun Lin offered to go with Lucille herself, but a growing tremor interrupted the argument.
• A giant mech appeared over a distant hill and raced toward the team, prompting them to realize it had tracked them to wipe them out.

Lucille tried to negotiate with a hostile group of Elite Reincarnators, who threatened her and the Saint Hill students while secretly surrounding them. Sun Lin exposed their plan and attacked, but as the enemy launched a missile barrage, a golden-red beam erased it from the sky, leaving its source unknown.

• A golden-red beam swept across the sky and detonated the gigantic mech's entire missile barrage.

Xu Yue appeared in Unit 02 and destroyed the legion’s giant mech with a single Cross-shaped beam, ending the immediate threat to Saint Hill’s students. He returned to the storage hangar and planned to correct some of the damage to history before resuming his larger plan.

• Unit 02 appeared over the battlefield, and the students and legion faction mistook its arrival for an angelic intervention.
• The legion pilots realized Unit 02 was the twin-Solar-Furnace machine that had ruined an earlier raid, but steadied themselves and raised a GN Particle shield.

• Xu Yue returned to the storage hangar in Unit 02 and judged that its force field was weaker than he preferred.
• Xu Yue considered the mission rewards and planned to correct some of the destructive historical changes before continuing his plan.

Xu Yue used a fabricated explanation to calm the Gundam pilots about the new machines, while Alexandrou and Ribbons discussed how to handle the hidden Gundam. After the wreckage of the giant machine was found at Lake Victoria, Celestial Being Organization’s ideology was exposed in the media.

• Xu Yue showed the pilots footage of Unit 02 and claimed the red-furnace machines came from a hidden faction, while Unit 02 was an Aeolia contingency.
• Alexandrou learned that VEDA had no records of Unit 02 and feared it could threaten his plans to inherit Aeolia’s legacy.

• The AEU sealed off the wreckage of the giant machine beside Lake Victoria, then let researchers from the other major blocs study it under pressure.
• A statement appeared across major media outlets revealing Celestial Being Organization’s plan to eradicate war through violence.

After the Gundams suppressed the conflict on Ceylon Island, the three major alliances began forming special task forces to capture them. Xu Yue cultivated his ties with Alexandrou while the Russian Bear returned to Earth and met him at the Solomon Islands orbital station.

• The four Gundams attacked both sides of Ceylon Island's conflict and destroyed the units that refused to surrender.

• Saji received reports of Gundam activity in South Africa and South America, then learned Ceylon itself was under attack.
• Saji asked whether spare Iron Men were available so he and Xu Yue could test the Gundams in battle.

Setsuna’s Exia overwhelmed an Iron Man squad, then defeated Saji Hashimirov’s close-combat ambush despite temporarily losing his vision. The second pilot, Xu Yue, asked to touch the Gundam, and Setsuna rejected him.

• Setsuna’s Exia destroyed five Iron Man units while avoiding deliberately targeting their pilots.
• Saji Hashimirov challenged Setsuna to one-on-one combat, using one arm as bait and grabbing Exia’s head to disable its sensors.
• Setsuna cut off both of Saji’s Iron Man’s arms and broke free, then warned him not to touch him.
• Xu Yue asked Setsuna for a turn to fight, and Setsuna faced his Iron Man.
• Xu Yue asked to touch Exia, and Setsuna shouted, “Don’t touch me!”

Xu Yue used the Iron Man to battle Setsuna’s Exia Gundam, taunting him about the barriers between people while enduring the Gundam’s attacks. Xu Yue ultimately defeated Setsuna but spared him, and Setsuna fled, shaken yet still clinging to his belief in Gundams.

• Xu Yue used the Iron Man’s weight and his piloting skill to block Exia’s attacks, provoking Setsuna with remarks about the barriers between people.
• As Setsuna increased Exia’s output, the Iron Man’s leg failed, but Xu Yue used the mech’s tilt and a sacrificial arm to disarm Exia and slash open its cockpit.
• Xu Yue stopped short of killing Setsuna, and the overloaded Iron Man collapsed, leaving both machines disabled.
• Setsuna realized Xu Yue had shown mercy and questioned his beliefs, but insisted that Gundams were gods before flying away in his damaged Exia.

Xu Yue and Saji Hashimirov welcomed Soma Peries into the Top Gun squad as Celestial Being intervened in Talibia’s attempted withdrawal from UNION. The operation ended with Talibia returning to UNION and Celestial Being blamed for the conflict, while Xu Yue predicted the squad would soon clash with the organization.
