After returning to battle, Kincaid Nau and Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai were able to defeated the Death Gale Team. However, Kincaid is forced into battle against the Earth Federation's mass-produced F91 Gundam Formula 91 units, as well as being attacked by his former ally, Zabine Chareux. The heavily damaged X-1 Kai is overpowered by Zabine's XM-X2 Crossbone Gundam X-2 Kai, and is sent hurtling into the Earth's atmosphere. Several months after the battle, Kincaid and the X-1 Kai reappear just in time to help Tobia Arronax's XM-X3 Crossbone Gundam X-3 repel the Death Gale Team on Earth. After reuniting with the Crossbone Vanguard, Kincaido goes on to destroy and the massive Jupitris 9 and deal the deathblow to Crux Dogatie's EMA-10 Divinidad by using the screw whips to pierce the heavily armored cockpit. After the first Jupiter Conflict ends, Kincado entrusts the X-1 Kai with Tobia. A few years later, The X-1 Kai would be modified once again, into the "Skull Heart".
