Yang eventually ended being killed by a huge brute Tediz by being shoot in the head, with half of his head scratted, as his corpse was eventually found years later by Sigma, The Maverick Warlord brought him along with other dead bodies, and started to experiment with them as a project to create Reploids from humans, organic parts being connected with mechanic parts, and the metallic body in a shape of an anthro crane itself covering the base like an armor. The once called human being memories, such as battles, concentration and rolling, were erased, and thus, Kick Crane was born.
