History
After the defeat of the Sleeves, the NZ-999 II Neo Zeong was captured by the Earth Federation Forces. It was then secretly transferred to the Republic of Zeon military by Michele Luio through Luio & Co.. It was assigned to the Gulltoppr, a modified Chivvay-class specifically designed to carry it, with the MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein as its core unit and Cyber Newtype Zoltan Akkanen as its pilot. It was intended as their trump card for the capture of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex.
In U.C. 0097, Zoltan's team and the Earth Federation Forces' Shezarr Unit encountered one another in the Side 6 colony Metis when both detected the presence of the Phenex there through the psycho monitor. Unbeknownst to them, Michele faked the psycho monitor readings to lure them into one another. As Zoltan violently attacked Jona Basta's RX-9/B Narrative Gundam B-Packs with the Sinanju Stein, the resulting psycho-frame resonance between the two mobile suits lured the Phenex to the colony, just as Michele predicted. After the Phenex easily disarmed the Sinanju Stein using its pair of Armed Armor DEs, Zoltan ordered the Gulltoppr to deploy the II Neo Zeong, despite his subordinate's objection that it was too dangerous to be used in a colony.
When the II Neo Zeong entered the colony by breaking through its outer wall, Jona unconsciously took control of it using the Narrative's NT-D System's Psycommu Jack and moved to dock with it. In the Narrative, Jona experienced a flashback of how Michele betrayed him and Rita by lying to him and sacrificing Rita to the Titans, leading to her eventual disappearance while test piloting the Phenex. Enraged, he attempted to blast the entire colony to pieces using the II Neo Zeong's hand-mounted Wired Large Funnel Bits. However, he was calmed down by the Phenex, now revealed to contain Rita's spirit. With the Narrative stopped, Zoltan regained control of the II Neo Zeong and retreated with it.
Later, Ellic Hugo, Zoltan's supposed second-in-command who was secretly monitoring him, reported the incident at Metis to Monaghan Bakharo. The two discussed how the original NZ-999 Neo Zeong's core technology, including the Psycho Shard Generator, were all black boxes, possibly built by Full Frontal using technology from beyond this world. Monaghan stated that he had hoped the II Neo Zeong would be their trump card, but it is useless if it is uncontrollable. He asked Ellic to abort the operation and evacuate the Gulltoppr, as a Federation Forces' fleet was coming for the ship and he intended all other members of the crew to be silenced. However, Zoltan overheard the conversation and confronted Ellic. Ellic attempted to shoot him, but Zoltan was faster and killed her instead.
As the Federation Forces' fleet, led by the General Revil, approached, Zoltan docked with the II Neo Zeong in the Sinanju Stein and engaged the fleet in Side 6's helium-3 storage base. The General Revil deployed its mobile suit teams, consisting of RGM-89A2 Jegan Type-A2 (GR) and RGZ-95C ReZEL Type-C (GR), but the II Neo Zeong easily annihilated them. The fleet fired at the helium-3 tanks that the Gulltoppr was hiding behind, destroying the ship. In response, Zoltan activated the Psycho Shard Generator and telekinetically drove a helium-3 gas tank towards the fleet. The fleet opened fire on the tank, but it was protected by the same telekinetic force moving it. Zoltan then crushed the tank, somehow causing the helium-3 to undergo fusion reaction, triggering a massive explosion that annihilated the entire fleet.
Three Jegan Type-A2s survived the explosion and engaged the II Neo Zeong. They managed to destroy the II Neo Zeong's Sturm Boosters by targeting gaps in its I-field, having been directed by the Phenex. Zoltan responded by using the Wired Funnel Bits to hijack the Jegans and using them to attack the Phenex, which was eventually captured by the II Neo Zeong's Wired Funnel Bits' wires. However, the Phenex was saved by the arrival of Jona in the RX-9/C Narrative Gundam C-Packs. The Narrative proved to be much faster than before and evaded all of the II Neo Zeong's Wired Funnel Bits and beam cannons. With the aid of Phenex, the Narrative sent a burst of psycho energy at the II Neo Zeong, destroying its arms.
Now desperate, Zoltan detonated another helium-3 tank. The Phenex shielded the Narrative from the impact, but was momentarily knocked out, causing it to once again be captured by the II Neo Zeong. Zoltan sought to use the Phenex's power to detonate all of the helium-3 tanks at the storage base, which would destroy all nearby colonies and send their debris raining down on Earth, causing a disaster greater than even Operation British. However, Michele and Brick Teclato piloted a Base Jabber Type 89 into the battle and dropped off several crates of psycho-frame fragments, empowering the Phenex. Enraged, Zoltan grabbed the Base Jabber and pulled another helium-3 tank near, but the tank was destroyed by Iago Haakana in his RGM-96Xs Jesta (Shezarr Type) (equipped with the boosters of RX-9/A Narrative Gundam A-Packs) before he could detonate it.
As Iago distracted the II Neo Zeong, Jona attempted to free the Phenex. However, the II Neo Zeong soon took control of Iago's Jesta and used it to attack the Narrative. Iago demanded Jona to shoot him, but Jona refused, causing the II Neo Zeong to gain the upper hand. At the moment, Michele piloted the Base Jabber into one of the Jesta's beams before ramming into the cable of the Funnel Bit controlling it, freeing Iago at the cost of her and Brick's lives. Suddenly, all of the psycho-frame fragments gathered at the damaged Narrative, shielding it from the II Neo Zeong's beam attacks.
Firing the Wired Funnel Bits at full power, the II Neo Zeong finally broke through the psycho-frame barrier. However, the Narrative dove out. The II Neo Zeong continued to fire at it, destroying its head and limbs, but Jona escaped the Gundam in its Core Fighter. Zoltan attempted to grab it with one of the II Neo Zeong's wire-guided arms, but it was destroyed by a Beam Magnum shot from the ARX-014S Silver Bullet Suppressor, which was watching the battle from afar. This allowed Jona to reach the Phenex's cockpit and activate its Destroy Mode. Despite its vast firepower, the II Neo Zeong could not score a direct hit on the Phenex due to its blinding speed, allowing the Phenex to destroy one of its shoulders and its rear skirt armor.
In his desperation to defeat the Phenex, Zoltan undocked from the II Neo Zeong to fight the Phenex using his MSN-06S-2 Sinanju Stein. Empowered by the spirits of Rita and Michele, the Phenex impaled the Sinanju Stein through the cockpit using its Beam Tonfa and slammed the mobile suit into the II Neo Zeong, killing Zoltan. However, Zoltan's spirit channeled his remaining energy into the II Neo Zeong, causing all the helium-3 tanks to reach critical state. Just as all hope seemed lost, the Phenex used the psycho-frame fragments scattered by the Base Jabber to stop the process by generating a pair of wings using its Armed Armor DEs. The II Neo Zeong, and with it, the Sinanju Stein, disappeared in the resulting light.
