Cardeas slowly leaves the cockpit, engulfed in raging flames, and meets his end. At that moment, Banagher realizes for the first time that Cardeas is his biological father.

Memories from his childhood resurface, and as the Unicorn is activated, the background music "UNICORN" begins to play. The scene reaches its peak as Banagher shouts, "I'm going!" "Get out of here!" This moment of Banagher's cry and the music's climax creates a thrilling sense of exhilaration that sends shivers down your spine.
