## Character History

### Past

Ra first spots them in a cloudscape while using the telescope at the Cosmos Observatory. He decides tho take both Zail and Long as his pupils. He returns to his uncle’s parish church and finds a magazine with an article about the Duo in the real world. Ra explains to Ranald the nature of Zail and Long’s transformation: Their souls automatically assume a form different from their bodies on Earth when they enter the dream world. The duo still retain their traits despite a change in form.

As Ranald and Ra judged Zail and Long worthy to be the principal of True Hilaga High and the leader of the League of True Hilaga, they have a chat with their Dreamland Parents who decide to help him test them. Before long, other Dreamland Beasts arrive and helped Ranald as Ra build the school building and headquarters of True Hilaga.

Ra puts the school campus into the golden crystal and mixes it with the feather and white scale from Hydara, making the Golden Gem of Crystallized Essence. He wakes up with the object beside him, and takes it to his orphanage home.

Ranald naps there, and merges with Ra again. He takes the golden crystal from Ranald’s room and flies to a place between Earth and other dimensions. It used to be a part of the Dark Side of the Universe the Devourer of Worlds is currently sealed in. It’s now a lone tower containing blood red spikes and monsters after a botched attempt by some villains to release the Devourer. He keeps the Golden Gem of Crystallized Essence in the tower, and went back to his body napping in his room at the Griffward Orphanage.

Zail and Long meet the Golden Griffin Warrior who takes them to the tower. Long takes the Golden Gem and with Zail, merges into Zailong for the first time. Ra tells them they received the power of Ultramix and tests them to see if they can master it. The fused duo succeed and return to their cloudscape. Zailong rescues Jushellyn and J&J with the Recruit Sending Envelopes, giving them a second home in True Hilaga High. Before long, they have recruited many students to study in the school, and seasoned heroes to be the staff.

He has the ships of GJ and J&J fixed, and eventually carries True Hilaga High and its hero headquarters to Aether World, Dreamland, summoning the heroes and their students to fight along him to defeat the members of the Over League and their Hell Breaker armies. But before his trip to Dreamland, Zail has a strange dream about a draconic creature hatching from an egg in space.

Ra meets him and Long in person and tells him about the OVER-Lord’s arrival to their universe, and reveals the White Dragon Pack and its school is built with teleporting artifacts for the purpose as well as some emergency ejection thing. Zail is told by Ra he, Maya and their warriors would fight any of the Over-League and their Hell Breakers if they landed on Earth. Also, the crystal shards inside him and Long and their strong bonds would make their physical fusion into Zailong easier. Eventually, in a few days, the battle would go to Earth, and Zail would have to fly to the sky to confront the OVER-Lord.

When the OVER-Lord and his League arrive, Zail and Long merge and as Zailong, brings GJ and J&J along with him to fight the universe devouring entity. Ra and Maya, other Solar System Guardians, the Crusaders of the Constellations, the 108 Stars of Destiny and the Lunar Mansion Knights fight the Over League on Earth. The Destines of the League of True Hilaga and the students and staff of True Hilaga High appear to help their principal and leader fight the OVER-Lord. The OVER-Lord activates his follower’s Over Forms to gain the upper hand over the heroes. The trio attempt to attack the universe devouring entity, who shoots a red beam from his eye, sending them falling to Earth. They were saved by Ra and allies, and were brought to the Amazon Forest.

GJ runs away from the heroes only to find a dark tunnel leading to Earth’s Spirit and Heart which was absorbed by the Omni-Hybrid. The shards of the Golden Crystallized Gem, piecing themselves back. Ra realises the Celestial Dimensional Warriors and the League of True Hilaga High can transfer the essence of their bonds into the golden gem, so he, GJ, J&J, and the students and staff of True Hilaga High and the members of its League do so. After everyone from True Hilaga High and its League enter the White Dragon Pack, the Celestial Dimensional Warriors transfer the essence of their bonds into the Golden Crystallized Gem. Cerynitis and family willingly give up fragments of their antlers for Ra to put inside the golden gem, while Revati contributes a tooth of his that broke off. The Dreamland Beast who split from their partners the Lunar Mansion Knights appeared and placed their teeth, scales, pieces of their broken horns and fur in the Gem, blending their essences together.

The Golden Crystallized Gem breaks into many shards again and encases Zailong into a golden gem egg with patterns of the night sky on its surface. The egg flies up into the sky and into outer space, bathed in the light of the stars. The Over League sees it grow until it becomes as big as the Pole Star, at which point it flies off to block the OVER-Lord’s path. The golden gem egg hatches, its shards absorbed into a light ball. Zailong thus awakened into his Hyper Form, the True North Pole Starship, and used his new powers to summon the newly empowered League of True Hilaga and the students of its school to fight the universe devouring entity bravely.

The Celestial Dimensional Warriors continue assisting the newly transformed principal. But the OVER-Lord swallowed them all into himself, except the Lunar Knights and Stars of Destiny who were fighting his League on Earth. However, the Starship activates his true potential and blasts a hole in the entity, and its Zail half defeats the OVER-Lord with a combination of his and GJ’s weapons.

The True North Pole Starship captures the rest of the Over League and imprisons them into the school’s detention cell. Eventually, Ra and Zailong returned to Earth afterwards, the Ultramixed Hero reverting back to Zail and Long after entering his spaceship body by Celestial Silkworm Technique and congratulating the Destines, the students and teachers for their work in helping defeat the OVER-Lord. Ra gives a letter to his pupils afterwards.

Eventually, Zail and Long receives the Delta Duo from Ra, GJ, J&J and the League of True Hilaga High as a gift, for Zail missed riding on Long, and Long missed being ridden by Zail before they received the power of Ultramix. Zail as Zailong gives the White Tiger and Black Tortoise armour to GJ and J&J in return. When his cousins Vince and Aliven visited the Hilaga family home, Zail wanted to give them something before they leave. Ra then helps out in the making of Azure Dragon and Vermilion Phoenix armors for Vince and Aliven while Zail and Long as Zailong gives the cousins a tour of True Hilaga High and its League. Eventually, he appoints GJ, J&J, Vince and Aliven to be his Four Advisors.
