Mongrol had fallen without parachute during the airborne assault on Zaenheim, and his body has been reconstructed with other robot remains by Lara, a human girl who parents has been killed by the Volgan. But before she have the chance to fully reactivate him, Volg Secret Police burst in and killed Lara.
