Anxious to prove themselves worthy of the Phantom Name. Draxon and his pack fly to Cassius 9.
There, They must reconnect and re activate the Erideum bridge that will enable Draxas to manufacture more Dark a Erideum and conquer the other opposing dragon factions once and for all.

"Your orders are clear, Draxon. infiltrate the Cassius 9 Subterranean region and reactive the Erideum bridge. I want that power online!" Draxas ordered Draxon and his pack to immediately reactivate the bridge "Draxas, Ragnir has detected several Epsilonian garrison up ahead. Firestrike must have warned Strider Zeta and moved to intercept us already!" Draxon pointed out as he been notified by his packmate regarding the Epsilonian forces moving in to intercept them as they find the hidden subterranean entrance "Enough of your whining! If the Epsilonians try to stop you, crush them! Report back to me when you have found the bridge, Draxas out!" Draxas replied via the comm link from the command module aboard the space station. "That imbecile thinks I'm expendable. ME?! He'll soon learn never to underestimate Draxon!" Draxon said to himself in bragging manner as he and his pack flew through to their objective as they counter Epsilonian forces with ease, "What is that?" Pyraxx pointed out something up ahead "An Epsilonian Probe. We should avoid it to prevent detection." Draxon clarified Pyraxx of the security drones "Like that puny probe could stop me. Blast them and get on with it!" Draxon ordered his pack to blast the security probes engaged by the Epsilonians "I have never traveled this deeply into Cassius 9's subterranean region before." Vector pointed out, "You are boring as ever, Vector." Pyraxx replied to vector "What is this? Some kind of Epsilonian trap?" Draxon noted as he opens a bulk head doors on the lower maintenance shaft as he and his pack deals with the Epsilonian troops stationed there with ease "It's an Enemy detection barrier." Nathra notified as he is alerted of the trap "So its a trap." Pyraxx said "The power conduits along the corridor should direct us to its power source." Vector pointed out the route "I SAID we should be careful." Vector replied as he took on the group of Epsilonian troops "Quiet, Pyraxx!" Draxon said in annoyed tone as he went through the enemy troop lines "The power core has to me somewhere in this center." Vector pointed out as they search for the power core in the lower levels of the mainstream conduit system "Epsilonians, This Strider Zeta. Be on high alert! The Phantom Dragons are planning to reactivate the Erideum bridge. This would grant them access to an unstable dark energy source powerful and lethal enough to jeopardize the entire planet. Any Phantom Dragon activity must be reported immediately and all phantom dragons are to be taken down on slight! Strider zeta out!" Strider Zeta pointed out an alert notice to a legion of Epsilonian and neomorphogen troops via the hologram comms "Couldn't have said it better myself." Draxon said as he started to shoot out the troops from above by surprise "Alert! Alert!" An Epsilonian dragon Trooper said to his soldiers to repel and counter the enemy infantry "focus your fire on that phantom dragon!" A A33 class Epsilonian trooper said "That was easy!" Vector bragged about as he killed some of the troopers "the others will likely be tougher. I suggest we proceed with caution." Pyraxx warned about the next enemy legion en route to intercept them as they proceed "My Head is stinging! Getting past this thing is impossible!" Vector complaints about the situation at hand "Keep looking you fool! The answer is here somewhere!! Idiots! Take it OFFLINE! NOW!!"Draxon replied with aggression, "I would prefer a solution sometime today." Draxon said as he shoot the emergency locks on a ventilation shaft "you're the brainy one, Pyraxx! YOU figure it out!" Vector exclaimed "Quickly! Get to cover!" Draxon said as they engage and shoot the defensive turrets placed in the mainstream system, "My scans indicate that door should lead us to the next junction." Pyraxx pointed out the next junction as they engage the enemy troops and activates the lever "Phantom dragons! Seal the door!" An Neomorphogen trooper said as he engaged the phantoms "Those Scalie punks locks us out!" Vector complained "Stop complaining and find another way in you fool!" Draxon replies with aggression as he find another way in "My scans shows an Erideum deposit beneath us." Pyraxx notified "perfect! There may be a tunnel below." Draxon replied "where are we?" Nathra asked "we're not where we NEED to be, Nathra so keep moving!" Draxon take lead in aggression
"Crude Erideum is highly volatile, and flying this close to it is very dangerous. We should proceed with caution." Pyraxx said in cautious response "Tighten your feral side would you, Pyraxx. It can't be that bad." Vector replied with certainty "Head's up! Phantoms!" An Epsilonian trooper said as he open fire with his troopers at the phantomonogen dragons in bound and engage them in heavy fire while Draxon made his way through the vents by blasting the rotor blades and keeps advancing through "we're getting close! The next entrance is just on the far side of this junction!" Draxon pointed way on and suddenly a Tallian Dracanian dropship intercepts their path "That Tallian Ship is generating an energy barrier over the entrance," Pyraxx notified "I can see that for myself, Pyraxx. Enough babbling - - destroy it!!" Draxon ordered to destroy the Tallian dropship and the the shield generator to gain access to the entrance with ease "Target the mortars first." Nathra pointed out. "this thing is as crazy as I am!" Vector said to himself as they blast the weapon system of the ship "Just blast it! It breaks like everything else!" Draxon replied as they destroyed the mortars "Excellent! Now, target the Epsilonians!" Draxon ordered the next pattern "I'll show them the REAL flying!" Nathra said with confidence as they target the Epsilonian Dragons "Here comes the second wave!" Nathra warned about "More reinforcements?" Vector asked as they keep shooting down the Epsilonian dragons with ease "The Blast doors are open! Quickly!" Draxon pointed out to shoot on directly, "Watch out for those misses snipers!" Vector warned on "Enough of this nonsense! We'll bring this annoyance down from the INSIDE! fly in and target it's power core!" Draxon strategically commanded as he keep shooting the neomorphogens inside the ship relentlessly "Close the blast doors and seal the ship! We'l trap and engage them inside!" An Epsilonian dragon trooper said to lockdown the ship "Trap us? Orders, Draxon?" Vector said "HAHAHAHA! Those Idiots locked us in here with their power core! Plant a detpack on it!" Draxon ordered to destroy the ship's power core "Warning! Warning! Warning!" An Automated voice pointed out from the ship controls "unbelievable! These Epsilonians are dumber than Nathra!" Draxon negatively compliments as he and the others escape the Tallian Dropship "Perhaps, Draxon. But have you considered an escape route for US?" Nathra replied "Try the upper deck! Hurry!" Draxon ordered as the move fast to escape "they sealed it off!" Vector said "Nows our chance! Fly through the hole in the ship!" Draxon ordered swiftly as the flew out "Dumber the Nathra? I'll show YOU dumb, Draxon!" Nathra replied in aggressive feedback "You always do." Draxon replied as the keep on their search "Did you see that?" Nathra replied as he noticed a Neomorphen dragon stealth trooper "You mean that creepy looking thing that just jumped over the side?" Vector replied "Yeah!" Nathra replied back "I don't see anything." Vector said "I should've left you two on the station." Draxon said in annoyance "I think I just saw something." Nathra said as he spot something "You think you saw what?" Vector replied "SILENCE! It could be a Neomorphogen Cloaker - - keep your eyes sharp! There! Destroy it!" Draxon ordered to keep on guard up on Neomorphogen cloakers and shoot them down with ease "HAHAHA! feel the power of my wrath!" Draxon said as he compliments himself after he killed the cloakers "Now, get the power back online so we can move on!" Draxon ordered "There it is. The entrance point to the subterranean region." Pyraxx pointed out as he spot the entrance "Another Shield Generator?! These Tallians are getting on my nerves! Bring down those shields!" Draxon aggressively commanded to take the Tallian forces head on with ease "The battery casing is opening." Vector replied as he noticed to power cells opening up " The shield batteries are exposed. If we destroy them we can lower them shield." Nathra pointed out "Wait! Scans show high density novurium shielding on that door." Pyraxx noticed on upon destroying the safety clips "I don't care! Focus all firepower on their pathetic door!" Draxon aggressively commanded to bring the bulk head doors down "Move, Phantom dragons. Into the tunnels! We have a bridge to activate!" Draxon ordered his troops "This place gives me the creeps." Vector complained on "These tunnels were decommissioned long ago. We'll have to activate the power terminals to get the station back up and online." Draxon said as he move in for the objective of reactivating the bridge on "Incoming! Take cover! Wait?! That's not Tallian weaponry?!" Vector said in exclaimed manner as he spots some inducian worms wandering the walls "Interesting, I've never seen these life forms before." Nathra replied with interest
"Who cares - - if they get in my way, BLAST THEM!!" Draxon replied with aggressive manner as they proceed "there, just as I told you! The Erideum bridge terminal. Find a way inside and activate it!" Draxon commanded "I thought this place was deserted!" Nathra replied in exclaimed manner "we must've been tripped the station's automated defenses! Open fire!" Draxon commanded with ferocity as the automated station defenses are activated and the alarm blares and starts shooting down the turrets with ease "More cloakers? These dragons creeps me out!" Nathra exclaimed as they deal with them "what's the matter, Nathra - -Afraid?" Draxon replied "Atleast I'm not ugly." Nathra replied back with certainty "Ugly? You and I look the SAME!" Vector replied as they successfully activated the activation lever of the bridge as the Ambush sets in "Detecting Tallian and Epsilonian scent signatures!" Pyraxx warns in "More fools rush to their death. Destroy them!" Draxon swiftly and aggressively commanded to take them all down "Draxon, Report!" Draxas said to Draxon while his in engagement field "Draxas! We are encountering significant Tallian and Epsilonian resistance, but..." Draxon stated "I will not suffer excuses. Do not fail me!" Draxas stated in aggression "you really told him, Draxon." Nathra stated "Silence! Soon the phantom dragons will be mine to command and Draxas will serve me!" Draxon stated in aggressive certainty "wherever you say, Draxon!" Nathra replied in annoyance "The station is only showing power levels at 50%. There must be another terminal deeper underground." Pyraxx take point as Draxon take the lead in "I'm sensing Cassiusian dragon scents up ahead." Pyraxx stated as he senses their presence and proceeds to engage them in fire combat "I do enjoy sniping!" Nathra stated "Afraid to take them head on, Nathra?" Draxon replied as they take down enemy dragon troops and proceeds to the mission of reactivating the bridge "Alert! Alert!" A Tallian Dragon trooper said as he open fire at the hostile intruders only to be shot down "Nothing will stop me! Blast those doors!" Draxon swiftly commanded on "All right...this station seems to funnel power directly to the Erideum bridge." Draxon stated "Those are the Erideum bridge's power control panels." Pyraxx replied as Draxon activates the lever, "Wow, Draxon - - that WAS impressive." Vector compliments Draxon "Silence, Fool! We need to supply these side terminals with their Erideum power cells." Draxon stated as the move in to power it up as he activated the lever control shifts "Looks like the Tallians have locked these power cells down." Nathra stated "Quickly - - destroy the locks!" Draxon fiercely commanded "what happened now?" Pyraxx asked regarding the power cells' activation "The Tallians have lined this Annex with traps, fools!" Draxon stated in aggression "Wait - - are you calling US fools or the other opposing dragons fools? Because..I'm not getting the sense that you respect me." Nathra responded "Silence! Fool!" Draxon replied in negative manner "That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about!" Nathra stated in aggression as they keep on track to their objective "This is almost too easy, Quickly, find the other power terminals." Draxon ordered to find other power other terminals "Excellent! Now keep looking p - - there should be just one more." Draxon stated to find the remaining power terminal "Energy barriers are 100% offline." Pyraxx stated and notified Draxon "Perfect! Now get these power cells into position!" Draxon commanded "The side terminals are showing power levels at maximum." Nathra stated as the power cells are in position "HAHAHAHA! We are but one click away from activating the full power of the Erideum Bridge!" Draxon stated in exclaimed manner as they are close to their objective "I did it! Look at all that power flowing! Onward, phantom dragons!" Draxon stated as he activated the power line surge mechanisms "I am sensing an unknown energy signature nearby off the scale." Pyraxx notified "Then we are close. The Erideum bridge must be nearby." Draxon stated as they are near the location "The device must be inside that machine. Plant a Dark Erideum detpack on its power cable to activate it!" Draxon commanded "My scans indicate that - -.." Pyraxx stated as he notified Draxon "I've had enough of your readings! Use Dark Erideum and corrupt the machine!" Draxon implied aggressively as they planted a dark matter detpack "Woah! What's happening?!" Vector exclaimed
"Precisely what I was afraid of. Cassius 9 is trying to purge itself of the contamination." Nathra implied "what contamination?" Vector asked "He means US, you idiot! Quit blabbing and destroy this nuisance!" Draxon stated in aggression as they open fire on the functioning defense nodule "evade those plasma beams." Draxon advised as the beams are activated "Move! Move! Move!" Nathra exclaimed
"The machine is vulnerable! Focus your fire on the core!" Draxon commanded as they shoot the core directly "Are we even hurting this thing?!" Vector implied "Not with you pathetic aim! Focus your fire on those turrets!" Draxon commanded fiercely as they evade the security projectiles with ease "Draxon! What is taking so long!" Vector complained "Just a slight delay." Draxon replied "I'm beginning to question your ability to deliver, Draxon. Do not disappoint me!" Draxas implied in aggression "what is it doing now?!" Nathra exclaimed "who cares? Just be ready for it!" Draxon said as the machine is somewhat malfunctioning due to the damage inflicted "Evasive maneuvers!" Vector stated as they dodge and evade the enemy projectile in all directions with ease and effort "shoot the core!" Draxon fiercely commanded and starts on heavy shooting "wait! Something's happening!" Nathra stated "yes...it's crumbling before the MIGHT of DRAXON! To the surface, phantom dragons!" Draxon stated as the machine is online and they head to the surface "The machine is out of control!" Vector exclaimed "it must be a side effect of the Dark Erideum!" Draxon stated as they race to the surface "We've done it! The Erideum bridge is activating!" Nathra stated in exclaimed manner as the Erideum bridge is activating "Incredible. The Erideum bridge is active once more." Nathra stated "Quiet! You're ruining my moment of glory! Soon, my orbital station will be at full power!" Draxon implied "YOUR orbital station, Draxon? Surely you mean MINE. I see you have finally succeeded in the simple task I gave you. Perhaps you're not as worthless as I thought. Report back to base at once!" Draxas stated as he complimented his success as the Erideum Bridge is activated sending a beam of purple radiate of Dark Erideum to the station directly. "All systems online Dark Erideum manufacturing at optimal efficiency." Eron stated as the Dark Matter manufacturing is on-going "Now I can introduce Dark Erideum into the planet's core...and as it spreads throughout Cassius 9, My power shall travel with it!" Draxas states as he implied to corrupt the planet and destroy his enemies "Entrance point to the planet's core is heavily shielded behind the omega gate." Eron stated and noted to Draxas "I will acquire the key, We launch a full scale assault on Phalit IMMEDIATELY. And wipe Strider Zeta and his pathetic clan Allies off the face of the planet!" Draxas stated as he ordered the initialized Full scale assault on the capital city of Phalitian Dragons to wipe them out.
