Narration:

Earth Federation and ZAFT concluded an armistice after the second battle at Yakin Due, however, the tinder for the conflicts between Naturals and Coordinators is not yet extinguished. The time is C.E.73, October. Cagalli, the chief representative of Orb, is accompanied by Athrun to visit ZAFT's plant Armour One. This is where the secret meeting called by Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Dulandal, concerning the once more unstable state between the two sides, is held.

This happened two years ago. Earth Federation invaded the neutral country of Orb with military force. Getting involved with the sudden war, the citizens ran with confusion, and in the midst of this was a youth who lost his parents and little sister in front of his eyes. Orb was collapsing, and Gundam flew by him overhead. With the cruel state his hometown was in, he moved to PLANT with a vow. "It's useless without strength and power."

New strength, new enemies, new Gundam. The unending conflict between Naturals and Coordinators! Take and be taken away; chase and be chased after. The curtain isn't lowered yet for the drama of ZAFT, EA, Orb!!

For what reason does one fight? Is strength a must in order to protect? What is justice? The human drama of doubt, trouble, and desperation to decide by one's self is on once again!!

DESTINY, the fateful encounter. What is the destiny of the youth who aims for strength?!

DESTINY, the rondo of fate. What can stop the recurrence of the repeating tragedy?!

Destroy this kind of destiny, Gundam!!
