Episode 1

The episode starts with a flashback to the original JAM invasion of Earth, and the creation of the Fairy Air Force to take the battle to their homeworld.

Decades later, on the planet Fairy, a large air battle is taking place between the FAF and the JAM. High above the battle, a lone fighter is observing the battle. After viewing the conclusion, Rei Fukai and his Super Sylph start returning to base. Along the way, he encounters another Super Sylph with an unknown IFF. Yukikaze flags it as an enemy, and Rei shoots it down.

Thinking that Rei has turned traitor, he is grounded on his return while an investigation is conducted. However, he is eventually cleared and returns to duty when his Super Sylph is repaired. Sent on another mission, Rei observes the JAM using a new kind of super missile to wipe out an entire wing of FAF planes. In the aftermath, Rei encounters another mysterious Super Sylph, and chases it into a canyon. During the chase, another super missile gets fired at Rei. He manages to avoid that one within the canyon, but 2 more suddenly appear. Yukikaze takes over and destroys one with the Sylph's guns, and the shockwave manages to propel them to safety.

Back at base, Rei's superior, Jack Bukhar, tells Rei of the FAF's plans to develop a new series of Valkyries driven entirely by AI, with the human pilots taken entirely out of the loop, to minimize casualties. Rei is visibly disturbed about the prospect of leaving Yukikaze.

Rei is then sent on another mission where he just vanishes. Jack tries to send a search party, however he is overridden by the unit commanding officer.


Episode 2

Rei wakes up at what appears to be an unassuming forward base, being treated for by a nurse. He is too weak to act, though he does remember crashing in the desert and walking until he collapsed. The base CO then comes in and informs Rei that his RIO had died and that his plane was recovered and needed to be repaired.

Meanwhile, Jack is in a radar control plane, testing the AI fighter he was telling Rei about earlier.

Back at the base, Rei has recovered enough to walk, so he is taken to see his plane. The Super Sylph is in a bad condition, with parts strewn all over the hangar. The CO starts to demand that Rei give up the AI password, claiming that they need it to continue the repairs. Rei is confused, however when the CO pulls a pistol on him, he wrestles the officer and kills him. Jumping into the remains of the Super Sylph, he takes off and leaves the base as it literally disintegrates around him. Rei emerges from a void back into Fairy, with the mysterious Super Sylph hot on his tail.

Meanwhile, the VFX-00 that Jack was testing suddenly broke connection with the base and took off on full afterburners.

Rei wakes up somewhere in the desert, still within his Valkyrie, having apparently survived the crash of his Super Sylph. Looking up, he sees the mysterious Super Sylph makes a diving run towards Rei when it suddenly bursts into flames and explodes, with the VFX-00 zooming by. Yukikaze then ejects Rei before transferring itself to the VFX-00, taking it over. Yukikaze then strafes the remains of the Super Sylph, destroying it completly.


Episode 3

It's winter on Fairy, and Jack is performing a system check on the new VFF-41 Mave "Yukikaze". Though it was equipped with a 2 seat cockpit and made to look similar to the Super Sylph, it could still operate autonomously as originally intended. When it's cleared, it gets sent out on a mission alone, with Jack bringing the catatonic Rei out to watch.

On it's mission, Yukikaze joined a battle that was ongoing between some FAF and JAM units, destroying a few JAM fighters. One damage FAF unit begins returning to base, and Yukikaze follows it. Nearing the base, Yukikaze suddenly flags the landed FAF planes as hostile, and switches to ground attack mode, destroying the base.
