"After the tournament of Cell, before the terror Majin Buu imposed upon the world, I was alive, however… the presence of the Firebird had changed all that. As a creation of the Legendary Eight Star Dragon Ball, The Firebird's fate was that of strength, justice and purity. But somehow, it's twisted nature severed all ties it had to it's pre-determined fate and instead, the Firebird went on a hunt to curb his never ending hunger for power.
His attempts to merge with the 'most powerful being ever created' nearly destroyed the Z Soldiers, but succeeded in permanently shattering my family. It ruined my mother, Chichi, to the point that everyone refrained from talking about it, for her sake. As a result, my life, what was meant to be earth's last defense against destruction, was cut short by the Firebird. And to prevent any further emotional distress, my life, my name, was forgotten. Now, I hope, the story can be told and my life struggle wouldn't have been in vain. This is my story, the story of a forgotten Z Soldier."
