A Mobile Suit from Gundam Unicorn.
Awakened Mode.


Banagher discovers the Unicorn Gundam he saw earlier and in its
cockpit was fatally wounded Cardeas Vist. Banagher demanded to know
where Mineva was. The Vist Foundation leader cryptically stated that
this isn't the first time she cheated death and it won't be her last.
Growing furious, Banagher presumes that Vist must have abandoned her and
accuses him of cowardly attempting to escape in the mobile suit but
Vist admits that even if he could, he wouldn't survive. Banagher
demanded to know why he couldn't prevent this war from happening,
otherwise his friends would still be alive. Vist tells him that they had
set this path to correct the flaws of the Universal Century. Vist asked
Banagher if he had the resolve to carry the weight of the world on his
shoulders. Banagher admitted that he didn't have that resolve, but all
what he knew is for Mineva to need him. Satisfied, Vist entrusts the
Gundam to Banagher, who realizes that Vist was his father, as his
biometrics are assigned to the Gundam, making it so that only he could
pilot it. Vist tells him that if he proves himself to be a capable
pilot, then the Unicorn will grant him powers unrivaled and open the
path to Laplace's Box. Banagher asks what it is, only for Vist to
cryptically say is the dark curse that the Vist family guarded for
nearly a century, but if used properly, it may bring about a brighter
future for everyone. Banagher repeated his question a second time, but
Vist ignores it, telling him the reasons why his mother took him. He
soothes Banagher to believe in the possibility that lies within. Vist
then fell out of the Gundam, before his body was incinerated by an
explosion. As the cockpit closed, Banagher became distraught with the
revelation that Vist was his father. He then remembered his brief
childhood memories surrounding his father and the Lady and the Unicorn
tapestry and gained the resolve to move forward. Banagher then launches
in the Unicorn Gundam and confronts the Sleeves' elite pilot Marida
Cruz, who is piloting the Kshatriya. He attacked Marida Cruz/NZ-666 Kshatriya and pushed it full throttle to take the battle outside the colony. The Nahel Argama
was outside the space colony at the time fighting the Neo Zeon forces.
While Banagher/Unicorn was surrounded by the Kshatriya's funnels, the
NT-D program activated, transforming the Unicorn Gundam into Destroy Mode.

Repelling Neo-Zeon

Unicorn Vs Kshatriya & Federation Detention

Banagher/Unicorn subsequently defeated Marida/Kshatriya, forcing her
to retreat. Losing his consciousness during the fight, he is taken
aboard the Nahel Argama along with the Unicorn. Found unconscious by the
crew, he is placed in the ICU until he awakens. Banagher is then
interrogated by Daguza Mackle
of the ECOAS Special Forces team on his experience piloting the Gundam
and his relation to Cardeas Vist. Though everyone protested that he was
hurt, Mackle's only concern was to try to have Banagher tried for taking
a military mobile suit and interfering a combat situation, warranting
capital punishment. Banagher told Mackle everything he knew. The
commander was a little unconvinced that Vist would just give the Gundam
to a boy. He asked Banagher if Vist said anything when he gave it.
Banagher repeated once again that Vist told him to use the Unicorn to
protect everyone. As Mackle turned to leave, Banagher muttered under his
breath that maybe it would be easier to believe if he said that Vist
was his father, which Mackle briefly heard.

Full Frontal's Attack & The Princess of Zeon

Suddenly, The Sleeves attacked again, this time with their leader, Full Frontal launching in his MSN-06S Sinanju.
While the crew tried to negotiate with The Sleeves for safe passage to
Von Braun, Daguza then revealed that Audrey Burne was in fact Mineva Lao Zabi,
heiress to the Zabi family, and held her hostage as negotiations broke
down. Mineva said that if Full Frontal were truly Char, then he would
not hesitate to kill her since he wanted revenge on the Zabi family for
killing his father, Zeon Zum Deikun.
Banagher made his way to the bridge to protest that it is wrong to use
Mineva (whom he kept calling Audrey) as a hostage and asked why can't
they just hand over Laplace's Box when so many people had to die for it.
Mackle argued that though they don't know what is contained within the
box, whatever it is, it could overthrow the Federation. He asks Banagher
how would he explain to all those people as to why their loved ones had
to die because he didn't know.

Defending the Nahel Argama & Unicorn Vs Sinanju

With Full Frontal's Sinanju taking out most of the ReZEL units on board the Nahel Argama,
Banagher dons a pilot suit and equips the Unicorn with its Beam Magnum
and Shield, believing that if he took it out, Mackle won't have to use
Mineva as a hostage. After a brief coaching about the Unicorn's systems
by Alberto Vist,
Banagher launches. Even with a powerful beam rifle equipped, he was
unsuccessful in actually hitting Frontal/Sinanju. Frontal/Sinanju kicked
Banagher/Unicorn in a similar fashion to how Char Aznable kicked the RX-78-2 Gundam
during the One Year War. The Unicorn fell back against an asteroid and
the momentum caused Banagher's nose to bleed. Refusing to give up, he
activates the NT-D, bringing out Destroy Mode. He goes into a high-speed
chase with Frontal/Sinanju, before Riddhe/ReZel moves in to back him
up, assuring Banagher that they can flank him. And successfully, they
managed to graze Sininju's right leg. But Banagher impulsively attempted
to get it close, only to be surprised by Marida/Kshatriya, who grappled
with Banagher/Unicorn. Banagher tried firing the Unicorn's vulcan guns,
only for Marida/Kshatriya to respond with a punch to the cockpit. The
impact caused Banagher to puke. As he began to lose consciousness and
the Unicorn deactivated, he kept calling Mineva, Audrey.

Sleeves Capture & Asteroid Palau

Interrogation & Meeting Full Frontal

Captured by the Sleeves, Banagher and the Unicorn are taken to the asteroid Palau, where he was interrogated by Marida and Captain Suberoa Zinnerman.
Once he told them all he knew, he was brought before Full Frontal
himself. The man acted like Char Aznable in many ways, being polite
enough to have tea with a mortal enemy. He even complimented Banagher's
piloting skills, even though he was a bit reckless.



As Frontal walked up to shake Banagher's hand, he became hesitant
and openly asked why Frontal wore a mask similar to Char, suspecting if
he has something to hide. The Royal Guards leader, Lieutenant Angelo Sauper,
took offense to Banagher's insolence, but Frontal was willing to oblige
the boy. Frontal unmasks himself in front of Banagher, revealing his
face to be identical to that of Char's, right down to the scar on his
forehead. He explained that donning the mask is simply his style and a
tool of propaganda; sometimes he forgets he even has it on, until
someone like Banagher makes the point of mentioning it. He then
questions Banagher as to how and why Cardeas Vist would just hand the
Unicorn over him. Therefore, he logically concludes that Banagher must
be in some way related to the Vist family. Banagher asks if he has to
answer that. In response, Angelo walks up to him and grabs him by the
collar of his shirt, warning him to learn some respect. Frontal further
adds that they are only asking him politely because of his association
with Mineva. Banagher then firmly stated that Mineva/Audrey made it very
clear that Neo Zeon must not get the Laplace's Box without war breaking
out; he asks why they won,t listen to her if she's their princess.
Frontal asks in return if Banagher even believes in the existence of the
box. Banagher admits that he doesn't, but firmly voiced his believes
that knowledge could change the world in an instant.



When Frontal asks for examples, Banagher cites all the military
developments over history. Frontal complimented his knowledge of
military history and went on to explain Neo Zeon's point-of-view; even
though the Sides have been recognized, the Federation still maintains
the authority to appoint their governors and forbid spacenoids to even
vote. Thereby, Neo Zeon believes that this must change by overthrowing
the Federation and realize the independence of the spacenoids. Banagher
then cuts him off, exclaiming that no one should resort to terrorism,
not even to take a life. Angelo finally lost his temper and threw
Banagher against a wall, informing him that he killed one of their best
men, Ensign Sergei, on the battlefield with a stray shot, shocking
Banagher. Frontal tells Angelo that Banagher probably doesn't even know
what he's talking about, for his response was purely on instinct. He
calls for Zinnerman and Marida to take Banagher under their care,
expressing his hopes that he will understand what Neo Zeon truly is and
work alongside them someday. As he was being led out, Banagher demanded
one last question: Is Frontal really Char or not? Frontal answered that
he only sees himself a vessel for the hopes of the spacenoids and the
ideals of Zeon. Therefore, if people wish to believe that he's Char,
then so be it.

Neo-Zeonic Perspective & Escape Plan

Under Marida's supervision, he was taken to one of the residence of Palau. During dinner with Gilboa Sant's
family and Marida, his eldest son Tikva asked if Banagher was a
prisoner, to which he answered sort of. Tikva tells him that he's lucky
that he's now a Zeon prisoner, claiming that in the Federation,
prisoners are tortured and malnourished. Banagher denies that claim,
only for Tikva to back up that his father was a prisoner on Earth until
Zinnerman rescued him. Banagher retorts that what happened at Industrial 7
and the first colony drop was Zeon's doing. Tikva justified that what
happens in war and further voices that Zeon fights for the spacenoids.
He could also tell that Banagher was a spacenoid too and asked him why
was he supporting the Federation. Tikva's father tells him to be quiet.
Banagher rhetorically asks everyone if war is ever justified, citing how
many people during in Zeon's first colony drop without even choosing to
die. He also states that he didn't want to kill anyone when he was
using the Gundam, but if he didn't he would've been killed.



Marida then rose up from the table, telling Banagher to come with
her. She shows him a chapel and tells him of how the spacenoids looked
to Zeon as a new directional light. Banagher then mutters the last words
of Cardeas, remembering how he said that humanity alone possesses a
god. Marida then counsels him over his killing of Sergei, advising that
he not be concerned over those he kills. She also thanks him for taking
action to protect Mineva. As she turns to leave, Banagher asks if she
pilots a mobile suit, to which she answers if they are low on manpower.



Meanwhile, the crew of the Nahel Argama, having received the new MSN-001A1 Delta Plus,
devised a plan to get back both Banagher and the Unicorn. A crewmember
disguised as a bum purposefully bumps into Banagher and hands him a note
with detailed instructions on the upcoming attack and a pen-shaped
transmitter. As he settled in his apartment provided by the Sleeves,
Banagher despaired that Palau would soon become a battlefield.

Escaping Palau & Reunion with Audrey

Banagher quickly made a run for it, just as the Federation started
their attack. As he made his way to the 14th space gate, he came across
the Unicorn Gundam. Referring to the inanimate machine as a person,
Banagher takes to his Gundam and attempts to fly out. But his escape did
not go unnoticed, as a AMX-009 Dreissen
began to fire on him. Banagher tried retaliating with a confiscated
beam gatling gun but the weapon was not fully charged. He tries calling
out to the Sleeve pilot, trying to reason that unless he escapes, the
Federation will keep attempt. However, his pleas went unheard, as the
Dreissen pressed its attack. In desperation, Banagher fired his weapon,
which tore the Sleeve MS apart.



As he flew away from the colony, Banagher noticed a Federation MS, the MSN-001A1 Delta Plus.
He then heard Mineva's voice over the comm. Surprised to find her here,
Banagher asked if she was piloting the MS. The Delta Plus pulled up
right in front of him and its hatch opened, revealing its pilot as
Riddhe. Riddhe and Mienva explain that they are going to Earth, where
they can reach the former's father,
an influential Federation politician who is an advocate on spacenoid
policy, in hopes of resolving this conflict peacefully. They also urged
him to return to the Nahel Argama. Once he's been extracted, the
Federation will retreat from Palau. After tearing apart a Gearu Zulu,
Banagher asked Riddhe to take care of Mineva.

Unicorn Vs Kshatriya II & Marida's Past

As Banagher made his way through enemy lines, he noticed that Sleeve
MS were getting out of his way. And he found out the reason why: to give
an opening for the Kshatriya to attack him. As they clashed, Banagher
somehow knew who the pilot was Marida. He tried calling out to her but
Marida/Kshatriya grappled him and held a beam saber to the cockpit,
threatening to kill him if he doesn't surrender. He tried reasoning with
her, explaining the Federations, battle plan to pull out if he escapes.
Marida doesn't believe him, seeing that he's just being fed enemy
rhetoric. Banagher even mentions Mineva, peaking Marida's interest
before she demanded to know where the princess is. She calls him a
hypocrite siding with the Federation. Growing more furious that she
refuses to listen, Banagher/Unicorn breaks free and transforms into
Destroy Mode. In the midst of the fighting, Banagher evaded all the
particle beams fired at him, though he lost his gatling gun, the Unicorn
is somehow able to take control of the Kshatriya's funnels.
Banahger/Unicorn then began to merciless attack Marida/Kshatriya. But
just before he could go for the finishing blow, he relents up making
telepathic contact with Marida, seeing her entire life. They engage in a
dialogue of beliefs about compassion, before Banagher takes
Marida/Kshatriya aboard the Nahel Argama.



While resting in the infirmary, Banagher overheard Ensign Mihiro Oiwakken debating with Doctor Hasan
regarding medical treatment for Marida, even to suggest putting her in a
straitjacket. Banagher sprang from behind the curtain, insisting that
Marida would not harm someone. He tried reasoning that the Federation
has rules regarding the treatment of prisoners, but Mihiro retorts that
she's a terrorist and responsible for the destruction at Industrial 7,
as well as several Londo Bell pilots. Mihiro was surprised by his
abrupt defense of Marida and asked if he was brainwashed at Palau. As
Mihiro exited the infirmary, promising a security detail, Hasan reminds
him that Riddhe has been listed as MIA.



Banagher then asked Hasan about Cyber Newtypes. The latter explained that Cyber Newtypes are the result of a delusion. He and Banagher then go into a discussion about Zeon Zum Deikun's Newtype theory and how it could end war if they could all understand each other.



Banagher then checked on Marida, who was recovering on the bed
next to his. She tells him that he was getting in tuned with the
Unicorn, which was built to destroy Newtypes. Only his foundation
stopped him from delivering the final blow. She tells him not to lose
himself before she starts rearing in pain. As Hasan attends to her,
Banagher leaves the infirmary, before he is approached by his friends.
As they retire to their guest quarters, Banagher tells Takuya and Micott
everything that has happened. As Micott asks outloud whether Mineva
made it to Earth. Banagher assures her that Riddhe is taking care of
her, which Micott finds surprising.

Ethics of War & Search for Laplace

Banagher was soon called upon by the Nahel Argama's senior
officers concerning new coordinate data given off by the Unicorn. The
coordinates were pointed towards the wreckage of the station Laplace.
Mackle told Banagher that he is to pilot the Unicorn to the appropriate
coordinates while he rides along. Banagher tried refusing, fearful of
being overwhelmed by the NT-D once again and reminds the ECOAS officers
that he wasn't a soldier and therefore not obligated to follow his
orders. Mackle agreed with him but stated that he has to take
responsibility for his actions. Already Banagher has stepped onto the
battlefield three times. Though many lives were saved, others were lost
rescuing him. He has already become involved in the destinies of others,
both friend and foe alike. Therefore, he must see this through to the
end. As the ECOAS officers get up, Banagher asks if he's expected to
fight until he dies or go on a wild goose chase. Mackle advises him to
think on what he said, all what he is doing now is avoiding the problems
he's made for himself. Banagher protests that while people are dying,
why he should he be expected to kill others but his pleas go unheard. As
soon as the ECOAS officers have left, Captain Otto Midas
comforts Banagher. He explains to him that Mackle has to see things
from that perspective for it's his job. He also tells Banagher that when
they were told to attack Palau alone, the crew was already worn out.
Then Mackle inspired them to press on, stating that they owed Banagher
to get him out safely. Midas remarks that Mackle is acting with the kind
of responsibility everyone should have.



Banagher soon boarded the Unicorn, with Mackle riding alongside
him in a jump seat. After Mihiro advised him over the comm to maintain a
prescribed speed to avoid falling into the Earth's atmosphere, Banagher
looks to Mackle, who could tell that something was bothering him.
Banagher asked the commander if he ever had any doubts. Mackle answers
that he sees himself a cog in a machine known as the Federation. He
follows orders and doesn't question them. Banagher admits that he's
unsure about who his friends and enemies are. From his perspective, a
person like that isn't qualified to pick up a weapon, much less seat
foot in the Gundam again, even if it meant letting his father down.
Mackle advises that he see another perspective: he has a responsibility
to his friends on board the Nahel Argama. Once they've reported back at Luna II,
what happens to Banagher's friends will depend on his actions. Banagher
asks Mackle if he's implying that they're hostages. Mackle says however
he perceives it, right now he's making the right choice.



As they approached the ruins of Laplace, Mackle explains the
Laplace Program of the Unicorn displays data once it recognizes the
coordinates, precisely inside the station, which passes around the Earth
at zero hundred hours each day. Banagher asks Mackle that if the box
was hidden in a such an obvious place, then someone would've found it
already. Mackle admits that they don't know but it's worth checking out.
As they pass through the ruins, Mackle explains that to save humanity
from overpopulation, the Earth Federation was created to manage space
immigration and act as God; a vengeful God that would crush without
mercy. The sabotage of the Prime Minister's
residence was the best thing that could've happened for the Federation.
It maintained its authority under the pretense of preventing terror.
Banagher asks if he's implying that the Federation staged the sabotage
itself. Mackle admits that things like that in the real world sometimes
happen. Thing is, no one
who was involved back then is alive today. All what endures is fear of
Laplace's Box and the symbiotic relation with the Vist Foundation. As of
today, all what the cogs in the machine are expected to do is maintain
the status quo.



As soon as they reached the appropriate coordinates, nothing
happens. Then, an ominous speech begins playing, coming from the Unicorn
itself. Banagher then begins to imagine the Lady and the Unicorn
tapestry and his father as the NT-D began to engage. Then, by reflex,
he flew out of Laplace abruptly, sensing the approaching Sleeves about
to attack the Nahel Argama. He barely evades a long-range
particle beam shot fired at him. He retaliated with his bazooka. Mackle
advised him to use the beam magnum but Banagher refused, seeing it to be
too powerful. He managed to fire a few shots that took out a Gearu
Zulu's right arm, forcing it to retreat. Mackle grabbed him by the
shoulder, demanding to him if he's treating this like a game. He should
take out the enemy while he has the chance otherwise he will come back
kill his allies or even him. Banagher yelled that he's know it's not a
game; he takes life seriously if his or anyone else's is on the line. He
then barely blocked a beam tomahawk from another Gearu Zulu. Then he
heard Gilboa's voice coming over the comm, urging him to stay back. He
states that their objective is to retrieve Marida and advises Banagher
to stay out of it. Mackle then quickly relays a warning to the Nahel Argama.



As if to add to their problems, they come under attack by Full
Frontal. Banagher soon expended all of his ordnance, he switched to the
beam magnum. Mackle encouraged him to fight on if he wants the NT-D to
activate. However, Banagher was considering handing the Unicorn over to
the Sleeves. Mackle advised against that, for the Nahel Argama
consists of pros and the Sleeves would not hesitate to take it out.
Banagher then retreated into Laplace. Once he came to a stop, Mackle
instructs him to open the hatch. Once Banagher complies, Mackle throws
his jump seat out of the hatch, intent on going out alone. Amidst
Banagher's protests for him not to go, Mackle says that a while ago, he
saw the NT-D start to engage, as if it was reacting to Banagher
personally, to his heart. He speculates that Unicorn wasn't build to
eradicate Zeon. There is something special about the Gundam and it
responds to the heart. That could mean that the Laplace Program acts as a
guide post to lead the pilot to the box. He comments that whoever
designed this, "was one crafty son of a bitch." Mackle then instructed
to wait for his signal. When Banagher asked what he intends to do,
Mackle stated that even a cog in a machine has its pride and tells
Banagher to play his own part. He points to Banagher's heart, stating
that it's the one place where he can decide for himself who he is.



As Frontal/Sinanju flew into Laplace personally, Mackle
instructed Banagher to fire his vulcans, forcing Frontal/Sinanju on the
ground. Mackle then fires a missile that slightly damages the Sinanju's
face. In retaliation, Frontal/Sinanju swiftly kills Mackle with his beam
tomahawk. This enraged Banagher, as the NT-D began to activate. He then
viciously fired on Frontal/Sinanju, his beam magnum practically tearing
Laplace apart. As he pursued Frontal/Sinanju, he in turn was pursued by
two Gearu Zulus, intent on taking him apart. Instead, Banagher turns
the tables on them, stabbing one Gearu Zulu in the cockpit while
dismembering Angelo's MS. He then engaged in beam saber combat with
Frontal/Sinanju as they both plunged into the atmosphere. He furiously
attacked his opponent, even tearing off Sinanju's left leg, yelling,
"I'm going to take you down, or else!". Frontal called out him, trying
to stop Banagher to fight and warn him if they continue to fight then
they'll both burn up in the atmosphere. But with nothing but blind rage,
Banagher intensified his beam saber and slashed through a huge chuck of
metal. Switching to his beam magnum, Banagher was determined to not
miss this time. But instead of hitting Frontal, he struck Gilboa
instead. Paralyzed by what he had done, Banagher/Unicorn then fell into
the atmosphere.

New Federation-Zeonic Conflict

Desert Survival with the Garencieres Crew

The Unicorn, with the Garencieres
in close pursuit, crash lands in desert. Captain Zinnerman retrieves
Banagher and the Unicorn, but the Garencieres becomes trapped in the
sand, unable to release the mobile suits without cracking its hull. In
hopes of contacting Neo-Zeon and the Zeon remnants, Zinnerman and
Banagher make their way to an oasis. Banagher, still traumatized by the
events at the Laplace ruins, struggles on the four day journey. He
spends much of the time moping about the world's situation, but urged on
by Zinnerman, who tells him that he does not trust a man who never
cries, he manages to make it to their destination, and Zeon
reinforcements arrive shortly after to pull the Garencieres out of the
sand.



Upon departure, Banagher meets a young Zeon pilot, Loni Garvey,
who tells him not to let her down. He gives her a curious look before
entering the Garencieres. The ship's mechanic, Tomura, then explains to
Banagher that the Unicorn is able to fit onto the Garencieres because of
the universal standard set by the Zeon and the Federation during the
wars. Banagher wonders why the Zeon and the Federation could agree to
matters like that and not be able to get along, to which Tomura reminds
him that it was simply more efficient.



The Garencieres, with the Unicorn in tow, takes off to join the
coming battle in Torrington, Australia, where the La+ system indicated
the next seal was to be. Meanwhile, the crew of the Garencieres warms up
to Banagher. When questions about Banagher's allegiance arise, Flaste, who berated Banagher at first for killing Gilboa, reassured Zinnerman that Banagher trusts him.

The Battle at Torrington

The Garencieres arrives at Torrington to witness Loni in the mobile armor Shamblo
destroying the city, which Banagher notes to be nothing but a
slaughter. Banagher comes up to the helm to request Zinnerman to allow
him to launch in the Unicorn, but Zinnerman refuses, telling him that he
would be shot down the moment he took off. Banagher then argues about
the morality of the situation, to which the captain reminds him that the
Zeon are occupying the city and this behavior on Loni's part was to be
expected. When Banagher reminds Zinnerman of the town in which he lost
his family to invading Federal forces, the two engage in a fist fight,
and eventually Banagher comes out on top and convinces Zinnerman to
clear his launch.



The Unicorn takes off and enters the battle, firing on the
Shamblo, but Banagher disarms himself to try to convince the rampant
Loni to stop her assault. Loni grabs onto the Unicorn, but Riddhe in the
Delta Plus comes and rescues him. Riddhe tries to convince Banagher to
fire at the Shamblo, but the Unicorn lets go and Banagher continues to
try to negotiate with her. When his attempts to reason with her fail, he
steps out of his cockpit to show her that she could trust him. For a
moment, the Shamblo ceases and lowers its cannon, but when Yonem Kirks, her surrogate father, is killed in the distance, Loni once again activates the Shamblo.



Desperate to stop the massacre without harming her, Banagher
activates the Unicorn's Destroy Mode, this time causing its psycommu to
let out a wave of mental energy, to which the Shamblo follows suit. The
raw energy created from the psycoframes resonating ravage the nearby
area, while Banagher and Loni communicate telepathically. Loni breaks
free from the struggle, however, and fires her main cannon at the
Unicorn. Banagher dodges the blast and mounts onto the Delta Plus.
Riddhe tells him that he has to destroy the Shamblo with his last beam
magnum shot before the Shamblo's reflectors could react. Banagher
reluctantly agrees to the plan.



As the Delta Plus the Unicorn charge at the Shamblo, Banagher
keeps trying to reach out to Loni, but Loni takes aim and begins to
fire. Kirks' spirit, made visible by the Shamblo's psycommu, reassures
Loni to end her attack because their fight is over. Riddhe urged
Banagher to fire and said that possibility is meaningless. Ultimately,
Banagher, hearing Loni's voice calling to him, refuses to fire at the
last moment. The Shamblo fires, but disperses its beams with its
reflectors, and Riddhe takes the beam magnum from the Unicorn and
finishes Loni with a shot through the cockpit.

The Black Unicorn

The Delta Plus and the Unicorn and after the battle ends. Riddhe
holds a rifle to the Unicorn's head, telling Banagher that he has direct
orders to capture it. Before Banagher could react or even comply, the
suits' sensors pick up a new mobile suit entering the area. The two look
to the sky, and above them, a Black Unicorn enters Destroy Mode
and attacks. Riddhe fires back, but the black Unicorn in total ignores
the Delta Plus and capture Gundam Unicorn. Banagher wakes up to find
that Marida Cruz is the one piloting the Gundam Unicorn Banshee. He is
interrogated to give information about the Laplace Box's coordinates as
he had locked the Gundam's systems. He refuses to give any information.



Bright Noa later has a conversation with Banagher, saying that he
would like to believe that it was the Gundam that chose Banagher, just
like all the Gundam pilots before him. Bright Noa's second encounter
with Banagher was to keep him away from the Vist Foundation agents,
which he tells him to work the Garencieres if he wants to save Audrey
Burne (Mineva Lao Zabi). During the atmospheric transfer of both Gundam
Unicorn units to a Garuda class ship by the Vist Foundation, the
Garencieres launches an attack. Banagher noticed that Marida was ready
to take a shot at her old ship and moved to stop her, accidentally
stumbling off their Base Jabber. He managed to evade all of
Marida/Banshee's shots, accidentally knocking Watts Stepney
off his Base Jabber and commandeered it. During the battle, he grapples
with an Anksha. Refusing to take a life again, Banagher instead crushes
his opponent's beam saber and let them fall to Earth. As he got back on
his Base Jabber, he ascends to right above the Garuda and spotted
Zinnerman riding a Base Jabber, attempting to board the carrier in
midair. Marida/Banshee attempted to take a shot at him but Banagher
interposed himself, pleading Marida not to turn against Zinnerman. In
between Banagher's pleas and Alberto's shouts, Marida transformed the
Banshee into Destroy Mode. The Unicorn attempted to transform in
response but Banagher refused to let it. Their fight soon came on top of
the Garuda. Both Gundams began to resonance and generated a psycofield.
Banagher broke off, fearing that it may destroy the Garuda and Mineva
with it.



Banagher then sensed Mineva calling out to him and broke off from
the battle and caught her in freefall; as the Gundam transformed into
Destroy Mode, the screens briefly turned green. After ensuring that
Mineva was safely aboard the Garencieres, he returned to the Garuda to
rescue Zinnerman and Marida.



As planned, the Nahel Argama was waiting to bring the Garencieres
into orbit. Unfortunately, the latter suffered engine trouble, so
Banagher and two other Zeon pilots attempted to use their suits to raise
the ship's altitude but it was not enough. Banagher then spotted the
Nahel Argama attempting to fire a tether cable and moved to the bow to
catch it. But it wasn't long enough to connect to the ship and being
caught between both threatened to tear the Unicorn apart. Banagher
managed to utilize Gundam Unicorn's NT-D and psycoframe technology to
connect the cables between Garencieres and Nahel Argama, emitting a
green aura similar to that of the ν Gundam pushing Axis.



Once the Garencieres was in orbit, they and the Nahel Argama came under attack from the General Revil,
sent by the Federation higher ups to eliminate all who know of
Laplace's Box. And Banagher was helpless to stop them with the Unicorn
being out of fuel, as Full Frontal/Sinanju turned up and fired a missile
at the General Revil.
