Driven by his love for Kyreen, princess of the Coterie of Amicula, he situated himself before his Zenith Space Commander 600, wielding the command device.

Without warning, he was transported to the planet. Knowing the vigilante conditions, he prepared himself for attack. Sure enough, as soon as he was re-materialized, he began receiving fire.
