Volume 7 (Zach's era, post-storm era)

Andy and some other Zodiac heroes were having problems with their powers. So they reunited in Wales to find the healer.

When the present-day team arrived at Wales, they bumped into some other 80s Zodiac heroes who were seeking the healer, known as Tom. After their appointment with the healer, the woke up at the side of a castle. Then, they went to Aimee's inherited house where they had a battle with a corroded Andrew. Curt injured his ribs in the battle after defeating Andrew so the Zodiac heroes went back to Cambridge and were suspended from missions for a month.

Etymology

(First name) Andrew is a Greek name meaning "strong and manly." It's a variant of the Greek name Andreas, which is derived from the element aner, meaning "man." Andrew was the name of Jesus' first disciple, and Saint Andrew is the patron saint of Greece, Russia, and Scotland.

(Middle name) The name John is derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "graced by God." It is a solid, traditional name that exudes strength, smarts, and kindness. Origin: John is a biblical name, first appearing in its Hebrew form in the Old Testament.

(Last name) Recorded as "Rugelie" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and as "Ruggelega" in the 1156 Pipe Rolls of Staffordshire, the derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "hrycg", meaning a ridge, and "-leah", a glade or clearing.
