Learning the Guitar

When Jona was younger, he lived with his mother and father in a small village in Mexico. His father often tells him scary stories so that he will behave, however, it came to a point where he calmed Jona's down by playing music on his guitar. Jona was interested in his father's Guitar and learned to play on his own.

Aside from learning to play music, Jona aided his mother grow plants for medicine, fruits and vegetables in order to support the family because Jona's dad was also disabled, not being able to move both his legs.

Passing of his father, supporting the family

As Jona grew older, his father had past away, this was when Jona's mother revealed to him that his father was a solider, and had suffered badly, resulting in his disability. The death of his father made his mother grow weak, so Jona took it upon himself to make money for his mother, and his sister, who had been had his grandmother's house for some time now.

It was very hard for Jona to make money, so he used his musical skills to make only some cash.

However on evening, Jona made a large some of cash and took it back home, only to have been followed by thugs, resulting in him being beaten, along with his mother. After the beating, the house had been ransacked, as for Jona's mother, she was beaten badly by the thugs, but his sister was safe, she hid under her bed. Seeing his mother in such bad shape, Jona and his sister carried the beaten woman to a nearby Hospital in Mexico where she was kept there and treated. Jona had been warned by the nurse aids that if she is not to pay up soon, in a matter of weeks, his mother could be kicked out. Jona told his sister to stay by his mother's side as he goes on to find another way to make money.

Join those who had beaten him

Jona took a plank of wood with him and hunted down the thugs who had beaten his mother. He managed to find them. They taunted Jona saying that he is still bloody from the beating earlier, and this time they would kill him, however, Jona got the upper hand and beat the 3 thugs, so enraged, and threaten to kill them, saying it isn't about money anymore. The thug's leader named Scar, saw this and made an offer to Jona, if he is to work for him for a bit, he will pay for his mother's bills. Jona quickly took the offer, however, he stated what will the people think of him now that he ahd sided with gang members, and Scar simply told him to put on a "mask" and strike fear, not revealing himself.

Jona, Le Morto (Morty)

Jona took on the man Morty. Before any job comes up and rests next to his father's grave telling him that he is sorry and carries out his job. Jona took on a zombie-like appearance to strike fear on to his victims and earned himself a title with the gang. Soon Jona discovered that one of the gang members tried to sexual harass his sister unknowingly, so he took it upon himself to drug the man who did it, almost killing him in the process, when Scar found out, he stopped paying for Jona's mother and had his men try to kill Jona. When Jona found out, he took up a dagger and went after each of his former gang members in the middle of the night, 1 by 1, badly injuring the men he had hunted down. Scar knew of this and had some of his men retrieve the injured men and kill them all at the same time, in order to pin the blame on Jona.

This resulted in Jona trying to get his sister and mother out of Mexico, so he went to Cancun to find his uncle and had his sister and mother stay with him in the Hotel his uncle had owned. After this, Jona went after Scar, who tried to escape Mexico. Scar was successful in doing so, leaving Jona to the authorities who see him as a murderer, the New Scar.

Invitation to White Dragon (Age 20)

3 years later, Scar was nowhere to be found, Jona's sister and mother now reside in USA with his uncle, and Jona himself became one of the wanted criminals in Mexico. His crimes this time did not consist of knifing people, but robbery, and drugging his victims. Often such acts led to police chasing him to where Jona had been shot in the arm as he fled to the foggy cemetery where his father had been buried.

As the police fell back, Jona, now calling himself, Zegma during that time, discover that the wounds he had healed up unexpectedly, to his surprise he thinks that he has the ability to regenerate his wounds and cuts. This drove Zegma into doing research about himself, soon having been invited anonymously by a member of White Dragon (probably by Boshiku, for he had ties in Mexico), where his research paved him a way to Old Japan, and a new job that is waiting for him.

Upon arrival to Old Japan, Zegma, along with a few others were greeted by a man by the name of Boshiku, who told him what they are to do as an assignment and what their cause would be for Old Japan and the world. Among the members were DJ Nadi, who dubbed Zegma as the silent zombie, Bullbot, Danik, Yoroshima and more, he later met Beast-Li. Nadi has gotten Zegma's attention during after a briefing when she played her old guitar where Zegma joined her. Zegma himself doesn't know as much English as Nadi did, but tend to mix it with his Spanish when speaking to someone, however, he understood some English.

Zegma was successful as a White Dragon when he enhanced the virus into liquid to be injected into victims and gas forms for it to be airborne, however, the effcts kick in randomly, or by mere chance. He was also effected by the virus, making him a bit more determined for Boshiku's cause. He also managed to kidnapped one of James' allies and tried to drug him, claiming he is capable of turning the boy into a zombie, however, he had been defeated by James and Jordan who were in disguise on the beaches of Old Japan.

Zegma is later arrested and taken into custody to be questioned about his affiliation with White Dragon and the disappearance of Danik's corpse. To which Zegma kept quite. He had been locked up so they could interrogate him in the morning, however, he was able to escape when Boshiku ambushed police HQ, thanks to Beast-Li's intel. Him, Bullbot and a few others managed to escape, even a few members of the Yakyuza gang who pleaded Boshiku to spare them, and they joined him.

Zegma fights James and Company again when Boshiku had been defeated, only to side with them, along with the others, afterwards when they realize that the true leader of White Dragon had used their DNA in order to copy it's abilities and the virus within him and the others had dissipated from their system, however, they were still villains, just the forced influence of White Dragons mind control had been lifted.

After the events in Old Japan, Zegma told James and friends that they had paved a path for him, however, he realized what he must do to start anew, to hunt down Scar. He was still a criminal in the eyes of many, however, he had been let go by Japanese police, assuming that his own country will arrest him, but they still respected him for aiding James and company.

During Sheer's Reign

Battling with The Karvner Weapon

King Sheer contacted Dr. Karvner, who had hid in Mexico, fixing up the weapon to use against James and the others. Karvner was able to capture a Trooper during a navy raid on a warship, turning him into a weapon of destruction to do his bidding. He tested the weapon in Mexico, and it happen to be the village Zegma, who was caring for the people there, living in. The cyborg targeted Zegma as a threat, along with his sister. The siblings fought the cyborg, which resulted in the fire that started in the small village. Zegma's sister took off to have the villagers, telling them evacuate. Zgema continued to fight only to be impaled in the heart by the cyborg, who was probably the first of Karvner's creation to kill a Full-Dragni in combat, revealing that Zegma was indeed a Dragni with accelerated regenerative genes in combination with that DNA. Karvner witnessed this through the eyes of the cyborg, and showed up at the scene, walking about, unfazed by the corpses and fire that put the village into ruin. He had the Cyborg take Zegma's body, and they walked away. Zegma's sister witnessed this, but she had in mind that ehr brother was dead and doesn't know why they took his body.

Karvner observed Zegma's corpse to find out that he has some regeneration ability. that he appears in a dead-like state, however, his body had healed up, persevering body tissues an fluids. Andrew, Eric, Kaddak and Walkner, students of Karvner observed this autopsy from afar. He had done an X-Ray on Zegma and sees that his heart is still damaged badly from the cyborg and decided to place the corpse of Zegma inside a frost capsule, to freeze his body. Karvner had the place watched by his students, and went to meet with King in the united Kingdom, along with Kaddak, leaving Andrew, Walker and Eric behind.

Reanimation, lost memory

Zegma's body had been kept in the capsule for some time now within Karvner's facility off the coast of Mexico, whereas Andrew, who was crazy with ideas, had taken interest in Zegma's corpse. Due to Zegma's ability to regenerate despite being dead, Andrew feels as though his, called by him: fellow Dragni, could be made into a weapon, similar to what was down with Project AX victims from Karvner's book entries.

Adnrew influenced Walkner and Eric, two minds that will make anything work, to turn Zegma into a weapon to beat James and friends, to which they all agree to because they all hate the good guys that stop them time and time again. They also know that Zegma was a friend of James back in the day, and thought that this would be a good revenge plot against James, using his friend to kill him, in addition, now knowing Dragnis can be killed, even the stronger ones.

They unfroze Zegma, and placed steel plating around his arms and legs and a light weight armor around his body. They stuck cords in and out of his body, with acid-like liquids injected into the cords to power fluid-rod like ammunition installed on the armor.

They placed slave chips slightly inside his skin tissue and shocked him back to life, after about 12-15 shocks, Zegma's body had been severely burned and his skin wasn't able to heal because the cords broke a bit inside of his body, and the acid slowed down the healing of his skin, however, his insides the first priority of the healing process. Zegma now looks like a slightly reanimated zombie coated in light steel with an armed fuel gun and claws on both of his hands.

The slave chips had embedded data of James on them and some of his friends and they are marked as targets for Zegma, who is on standby, awaiting to be deployed by Andrew himself.

James vs Andrew and his undead

Andrew had Eric and Walkner cause trouble with a bunch of mini-robots rushing around causing mischief in Central Park. James had to defeat these robots along with his cousin, Cladd, Ivan and Garret. eventually Andrew showed up to fight James, and his friends. Andrew had Zegma ambush James and he went to fight James' friends, who were in a fight for their lvies for Andrew was a Dragni himself, however, his mass body built makes him a slow opponent, to which Garret, and Mia were able to overpower him. Cladd and Ivan went after Walkner and Eric, forcing Ivan to fight against his former peers whereas he defeated them with tech of his own.

This left James to fight Zegma, a former friend and hero of Old Japan. James kept trying to talk some sense into Zegma only to fail a few times. Andrew, kept yelling that this Zegma is a zombie and he is built to kill James. James did not want to believe he was fighting an undead version of his friend and eventually, James wanted to put Zegma out of his misery by stabbing him in the chest. Zegma was in pain and uttered his name and what he stood for in Spanish, and he collapse to the ground.

Andrew was able to defeat Garret and Mia, thinking he had won by breaking James, and stood behind James, who was on his knees next to Zegma. This caused James to call Adnrew a lunatic and the 2 of them fought. Zegma, rose back up again, and James started to believe if Zegma was a zombie, James could not tell if he was a Dragni or not. James was being beaten by Andrew and Zegma and Zegma bit James a few times. James went berserk and turned his attention on Zegma, ripping the armor off of him and fought Zegma hand to hand, with Andrew also attacking.

James saw on both Zegma's arms a faint light and thought of it as another weapon of Zegma's. He managed to knock down Zegma, who continued to bite James, however, James was successful in pressing down and destroying the 2 slave chips inside Zegma's arms.

this caused Zegma to fight both James and Andrew. He punched James back hard, knocking him into a tree, and targeted Andrew, thinking that he is the enemy. Since Zegma was a stronger Dragni than Andrew and James combine, he steamrolled Andrew, and pulled a cord, still containing acid inside and throw it into Andrew's face, which scarred him. Eric and Walkner, cringing at a plan that that hit the fan, started hiding behind a dumpster. James went behind Zegma and put his arms around him, trying to hold him back. James began telling Zegma of who is and what he did that practically saved the world. Zegma attempted to grab James who was behind him, as he did, James continued to talk about Old Japan, he mentioned the others and eventually, James added what about his sister, to which, Zegma had finally claimed down. Zegma was shocked, and pointed at James without saying a word. He looked around and witnessed the park being ruined and the broken pieces of metal from his armor and the robots everywhere. He was so shocked at the scene he started to run away and he disappeared. As for Andrew, Eric and Walkner had a robot grab him and fly away as they escaped too.

Later that night, Zegma was in such shock. He hid in a warehouse, and surgically removed the remaining metal cords in his body with his bare hands and making use of a mirror. He managed to pull it out and the pain was great. He watched his self in the mirror and witnessed his skin being heal, thinking that the acid hindered his ability to heal his burned decomposed skin. Zegma remained in the warehouse, and made use of cans of food and got clothing from old locker rooms inside. What Zegma did next was made his way to Arizona and attempted to travel back to Mexico. He eventually made it back and got word of Scar being present in Mexico.

Confronting Scar

Zegma was in Mexico for months end, he could not find his sister.

Coming to his senses and Sacrifice

As James, his brother Jason, Tyrome, DJ, the first line of attack, accompanied by the rest of the heroes confronted a military Warship in the Indian Ocean, which had been taken over by Karvner and company. Zgema, had been release to fight the group, soon to have The Karvner Weapon known as Sai to fight James and the others. Sai targeted James only, and the two began to fight. Zegma was left to fight Jason, James' twin brother, who defeated Zegma and cut him up, destroying the slave chip that was inside of him. Zegma's rage had stopped and as he looked at Jason, he called him James, revealing that Zegma had been restored of his memories. He looked around to see James fighting Sai and helped James in battle, soon he was fighting one on one with his assassinatior, Sai. Karvner didn't want to lose so he had the Warship sink into the Ocean. As the others escaped, Zegma dragged Sai to the depths and the two continued to fight as the Warship was underwater, never to been seen again.

James called Zegma a hero, reminiscing about how the 2 first met, and how tides had changed in Old Japan. James then mourned his death, not knowing he is still alive.
