<STORY>

U.C.0105, 12 years have passed since Char's rebellion.

Twelve years after Char's rebellion in U.C. 0105, the "Mufti" began resisting the oppressive Earth Federation government by assassinating high-ranking government officials. Their leader is Hathaway Noah, the son of Bright who fought alongside Amuro Rey in the One Year War.

Hathaway is reminded of his former trauma by Gigi Andalusia, a young girl who exhibits mysterious powers. While being tossed about by her words, he proceeds to prepare for his objective as a mufti, the attack on the Adelaide Conference. ......

While Kenneth Slegg of the federal army prepares for the Adelaide Conference cover operation and the destruction of the Mufti, he is approached by Handley Yoxan of the Criminal Police Organization with a secret agreement.

While Hathaway and Kenneth each work for their own purposes, Gigi also sets off for Hong Kong to do his part.
