"You'll be my living legacy. My honor, my dreams. They're yours now," Zack had stated in his final breaths to Cloud in the .He had tried to return to Midgar, had made it so far but failed. In the end his only regret would be to never see Aerith again. He wondered what she was doing as his mind faded, probably taking care of her flowers. His mind flickered past his memories of his life with images of his friends once last time. Memories of Angeal, Aerith, Cloud, the annoying Wutai girl, Kunsel, his parents. The clouds above seem to open up and Zack could swear he saw his old mentor coming to greet him. Zack smiled reaching to his old mentor, wishing if only he could have those wings.
Hey, would you say I became a hero?
Zack gave a groan sitting up from where he had been laying."Man I thought being dead would at least be somewhat liberating," he mumbled rubbing his eyes as he opened them. upon seeing his sourroundings he was swiftly standing up.
"No it couldn't of all been a dream? Could it? I felt all of that and besides this place doesn't look like anywhere I've been before," Zack spoke to himself trying to decipher what was going on, how he was even alive, and where he was.

Brief Bio:
Zack, born in the town of Gongaga, had childhood dreams of joining SOLDIER to become a 1st Class. At the age of thirteen Zack left Gongaga without telling his parents, and joined the Shinra's military.
By October of 0000, Zack had reached SOLDIER 2nd Class under the tutelage of SOLDIER 1st Class Angeal Hewley. Angeal's words of wisdom and strong sense of honor had a profound effect on Zack, who wanted to emulate his mentor. During his time in SOLDIER, Zack befriended 2nd Class SOLDIER Kunsel, who guided him in the ways of Shinra. Zack works under Director Lazard Deusericus in the 49th Floor of Shinra Headquarters, along with many other SOLDIER members. Under Angeal's guide, he recommends Zack be promoted to 1st Class. Zack is soon sent on a mission to Wutai so as to prove his abilities. Zack becomes ecstatic over Angeal having recommended him for promotion, and receives interesting news during the briefing: 1st Class SOLDIER Genesis Rhapsodos has deserted Shinra, taking an untold number of 2nd and 3rd Class soldiers with him.
During the search for Genesis, Angeal disappears, Sephiroth concludes that Angeal has deserted Shinra as well, joining Genesis on the run. Zack refuses to believe Angeal has deserted Shinra. Shortly after Zack is promoted to 1st Class. Genesis attacks Midgar and while chasing Dr. Holland, believed to have been working with Genesis, is confronted by Angeal. Refusing to fight his mentor, Angeal destroys the walkway beneath Zack having him fall into the slums below, through the roof of a church, where he meets Aerith.
On his mission to Medeoheim he meats Cloud Strife, a trooper at the time. They are attacked by Genesis and have to make the rest of the treck on foot. Along the way the stumble onto a Mako Excavation Facility, where they find a Genesis clone, Hollander, and Angeal. Once more Zack is forced to fight Angeal, this time willing to fight his mentor. He defeats his mentor who passes away after the battle due to the fight, passing on the Buster Sword to Zack before passing.

Fast forward to the Nibelheim Incident. Zack, Sephiroth, and Cloud enter Nibelheim on September 22nd. Zack, when learning that Sephiroth lacked a hometown, asked about whether he had a family. His answer, that Jenova was his mother, piqued Zack's curiosity and suspicion, due to Genesis' earlier reference to Jenova. Just before the group heads up Mt. Nibel to reach the reactor, a villager snaps a picture of Sephiroth, Tifa, and Zack together.
The malfunctioning reactor is fixed, but within the reactor Zack and Sephiroth find pods filled with makonoids, humans infused with massive amounts of Mako and turned into monsters. They find a creature named Jenova, whom Sephiroth was told was his mother. This, along with words from Genesis who reveals to Sephiroth his past as part of the Jenova Project, sends Sephiroth over the edge. Sephiroth hides in the basement of the Shinra Manor reading files upon files of the project for seven sleepless days. When Zack tries to talk to him, Sephiroth wants to be left alone. On October 1st, Sephiroth emerges and burns the village to the ground, slaughtering most of the townsfolk.
finds Sephiroth outside Jenova's containment tube and the two battle, but Zack is defeated. Cloud, furious over the death of his mother and seeing Tifa gravely wounded, takes up Zack's Buster Sword and defeats Sephiroth who falls into the Lifestream.
Tifa is saved by Zangan, and Cloud and Zack are taken by Shinra forces to be used in Professor Hojo's newest experiment: the Jenova Reunion Theory. Hojo predicts Jenova's parts, even on a cellular level, will strive to gather and become whole again and to test this theory, Hojo exposes the survivors of the Nibelheim Incident, including Cloud and Zack, to Mako, and injects them with Jenova cells.
----
Zack and Cloud are held captive in the Shinra Mansion and experimented on for four years. Hojo labels the two as failures, puts them in a cryogenic sleeping state and leaves them in their pods. On December 19th, 0006, Zack hallucinates of Angeal appearing before him in the Shinra Mansion basement. As he flies off, Zack's will to be free allows him to break out and he and Cloud escape.
Zack carries Cloud out of the mansion due to his Mako poisoning, Zack making it their task to reach Midgar. Along the way Zack defeats the true Genesis and Dr. Hollander and witnesses the last of Angeal's clones die.
At the end of September 0007, while Zack and Cloud head toward Midgar, an army of Shinra troops awaits them. Despite Cissnei and Tseng's attempts to locate Zack first and save him, the Shinra army attacks.
Zack notices the ambush, hides Cloud behind the rocks, and then goes to face his fate. As the battle rages on, the memories Zack had with everyone flash before his eyes and he collapses as the remaining soldiers barrage him with bullets.
Cloud inherits the Buster Sword from Zack.
Riddled with bullets, Zack is barely alive when Cloud comes to him. Zack hands the Buster Sword to him, like Angeal handed the Buster Sword to Zack years earlier, and tells Cloud to carry on his dreams, and be his "living legacy".
