Heero and Quatre arrive in the capital of the Sanc Kingdom. Heero intends to retrieve the Wing Gundam and leave immediately. Quatre tries to convince him that the Gundam is needed to protect Relena. As they walk around the campus, all the girls stare at them and assume that Heero is Quatre's servant. They meet with Relena, and Heero tells her that he intends to leave. She tells him that she's taken up the search for Trowa, and that he should at least stay until he's found. Relena dresses them up in fancy uniforms and introduce them to the class. Later, Heero and Quatre watch as the girls fence. Dorothy challenges Heero to a fight, and he agrees. As they fight, she tells him a story about two people named Heero Yuy. One risked his life for peace and died, and the other fights for peace. Heero beats her and acts as if he doesn't know what she's talking about. Noin and Pagen inform Relena that members of the Treize Faction are hiding in a forest that is Sanc Kingdom territory. Noin advises that they should leave, but when Relena hears they have wounded men, she decides to accept them as refugees.

Heero goes underneath the building and finds the Wing Gundam there, along with several white Tauruses. The members of the Treize Faction realize that OZ has tricked them into going into the Sanc Kingdom. Once they send troops to fight them, they have an excuse to attack the nation. The Treize Faction decides to leave. Heero takes the Wing Gundam and convinces Quatre to stay behind. He meets with the Treize Faction and finds them setting explosives on their mobile suits. He convinces them to become defenders of the Sanc Kingdom. As the OZ planes approach, Relena and Dorothy drive out to try and stop the battle. Heero attacks the planes, and one of them is about to crash on the bridge that Dorothy and Relena are on. He blasts it again and sends it into a ravine. Virgos land and are about to destroy the car when Quatre and Noin attack them with the white Tauruses. After the battle, Heero decides to leave because there's no place for him in a pacifist country. Relena agrees to allow him and Noin to defend the country with mobile suits, so he stays.

Yawn. Heero goes to school dressed to a pretty boy and fences. Heero gets in his Gundam and destroys a bunch of stuff. Relena babbles on about pacifism. Speaking of pacifism, isn't it kinda wrong to be fencing in a pacifist country? Fencing is a sport, but it's a combative one. That doesn't make any sense. Then again, neither does having Gundams and Tauruses either.
