Heero and Zechs begin their final duel against each other while Duo sets off with the Gundam engineers, who intend to rewire Peacemillion so it will destroy itself before it and Libra crash on Earth. This objective is eventually accomplished, though it kills the engineers along with Quinze. Lady Une announces the surrender of the World Nation to the moderate colony leaders in the wake of Treize's death, who agree with her proposal that the war must end. Heero and Zechs continue fighting until they agree that it now has no meaning. After Zechs seemingly sacrifices himself to destroy Libra, Heero uses the Wing Zero's twin buster rifle to destroy the remaining fragment of the station that has entered the atmosphere. Following the end of the war, Earth and the colonies unite together to form the Earth Sphere Unified Nation. Relena, having returned to her Darlian identity, becomes the new vice foreign minister in hopes of maintaining the peace. | ||||

In After Colony 196, one year after the end of the war, the Earth and the colonies are at peace, and the Gundam pilots (with the exception of Wufei) send their Gundams to the Sun to be destroyed. On Christmas Eve, however, the Barton Foundation kidnaps Relena and declares war on Earth, using the late Treize's alleged daughter, Mariemaia, as a figurehead.

However, he is forced to stop when Dekim Barton threatens to drop a colony on Earth. No one is able to prevent the Mariemaia Army from seizing control of Earth using their new Serpent mobile suits.

Heero rendezvous with the Wing Zero and flies to Earth to save Relena, but is intercepted by Wufei's Altron Gundam and forced to fight him. Duo, Trowa and Quatre get their Gundams back and help Zechs and Noin in their attack on the Mariemaia Army's captured fortress in Brussels. Heero eventually arrives, having convinced Wufei that they must bring an end to the conflict, and uses the Wing Zero's twin buster rifle to destroy the fortress' underground bunker shields. When the people of Earth arrive to declare their own desires for peace, Relena and Lady Une are able to convince Mariemaia that she is mistaken. Dekim tries to kill Relena, but is instead killed by one of his own soldiers out of respect for Treize. Following Mariemaia's surrender and the return of peace between Earth and the colonies, the last of the mobile suits (including the Gundams) are destroyed. The Gundam pilots are at last able to bring closure to their lives as soldiers. | ||||
