Hungry for more power. Draxas plans to corrupt the very core of Cassius 9 itself with a Dark matter called Dark Erideum, But to do so. He must first find the omega key. Which will unlock the gateway to the core.
Draxas launches a full scale assault on Phalit, Capital city of the Dragon allied forces where the key is protected by Strider Zeta - Alpha of the Dragon Allied forces.

Aboard the Phantom Dragon Magna class dropship "Draxon. Continue to move forward and meet Strider Zeta's legions on the front line!" Draxas commanded as they launches a full scale assault on the capital city with his fleet "Have no fear, Lord Draxas! Under my leadership, Phantom dragons' victory is assured!" Draxon stated as he replied back to Draxas with assurance "Don not fail me!" Draxas replied as Draxon made his move "Why aren't we joining the main battle, Draxas?" Archelos stated "While Draxon and his Forces attacks Strider Zeta's armies head on, we shall move behind enemy dragon lines and obtain the omega key." Draxas pointed out as he assemble his forces "The omega what?" Archelos stated in confusion "The omega key grants access to the core of Cassius 9." Eron stated as he charges up his arsenal equipped "Once I have access to the core, I will infuse it with Dark Erideum and subject the entire planet's energy supply to MY WILL." Draxas stated his atrocious Objective as he scrambles his forces into action and attacks the legions of Phalitian dragon troopers "Phantom dragon intruders! They're inside the city!" A Phalitian Phantomonogen trooper as they warn the others to repel them "Phalitian Dragons attacking! Hey. Wasn't Draxon supposed to keep these guys occupied?" Archelon stated as they deal with Phalitian soldiers as they push through to enter the stellar galleries. "Even the Phalitians aren't foolish enough to leave the stellar galleries undefended. Destroy them!" Draxas commanded as they battle and kill Phalitian dragon soldiers stationed there with ease in heavy fire. "Draxas - - sensors indicate Phalitian Scent signatures nearby." Eron pointed out as he detected Phalitian presence nearby "where? I don't see anything." Archelon implied "The Phalitian dragons are here, no doubt skulking in the shadows." Draxas replied as he certainly senses their presence "they're all around us!" Archelon exclaimed as he open fire on the Phalitian dragon cloakers "Return fire! Destroy anything that moves!" Draxas commanded aggressively as they press on with ease to comprehend them and his forces detects the presence of a Phalitian dragon dropship as the alarm blares "Draxas - - The Dark Erideum is proving every bit as formidable as you predicted! The Phalitian dragon forces crumble before it!" Draxon stated as he witness the destructive capabilities of the dark Erideum against the dragon Allied forces "Excellent, Draxon. Continue engaging then so that I can acquire the omega key." Draxas pointed out "there's something off about Draxon guy, Draxas. I don't trust him." Archelon expressing his doubts on the Sky commander "Oh, I trust Draxon about far as I can Bite him to pieces..but he shows a rare cunning that I find intriguing." Draxas stated as compliment to Draxon's mannerisms in the field of battle as they keep pressing and advancing in a heavy fire "Draxas, the gate to the Stellar Galleries is locked." Eron pointed out as the gates are secured "I anticipated this. A powerful surge of Dark Erideum flames will bend the doors to my will! Draxas implied and attempted to break down the doors using the dark matter "Initiating defense grid." Stated by the Security pillar as it activates the security measure on to repel the Phatomonogen Dragons led by Draxas as they enter the Stellar Gallery interior "Draxas - - those batteries feed the security grid." Eron stated as he found an opening to disable the grid. "Quickly! Infuse the batteries with Dark Erideum!" Draxas commanded as they deal with the security grin on-line to get through "Hurry! Destroy those batteries!" Draxas reminded as they planted Dark Erideum detpacks on the control consoles one at a time "Security Measures deactivated." The Security Defense Grid states as being disabled using the the volatile dark matter "Eron. Damage report." Draxas stated to Eron "Scans shows minimal damage." Eron stated as they move to their next objective of finding the omega key "Now its the time for strategic slaughter!" Draxas implied as he and his unit kills Cassiusian and Epsilonian forces "Grenade! Take cover!" An Epsilonian dragon soldier said as they cover fire and take cover while they tried to repel them using the automated turrets "Draxas, Our data indicates that the omega key is located just beyond that door." Eron indicated based on the data he stated by the scanners "Excellent! This venture has proven far less taxing than I had anticipated." Draxas replied "Are you serious? I'm feelin' pretty taxed, myself." Archelon pointed out to Draxas in a complaining manner "The Phalitian Dragon forces maintain these rooms for tranquility contemplation." Eron stated as they reached the Holographic map of planet Cassius 9 "Tranquility Contemplation? What does that even mean?" Archelon replied to Eron "It means the Phalitian Dragons laze about and whine over their own inadequacies.ugh...what a waste of time and resources. Phantoms! Find the omega key!" Draxas pointed out in aggression "HAHAHAHAHA! For Glory! Behold! Phantoms! The omega key!" Draxas stated boldly and arrogance manner as Archelon accessed a computer console with an empty container "Wow. That is one empty container." Archelon stated as he noticed an empty container before hologram of Strider Zeta appears "Draxas, I'm Warning you right now. You are tampering with forces beyond your understanding or control!" Strider Zeta implied as he warned Draxas and his forces "Ah, Strider Zeta. I see you're still a coward to face me in person." "Draxas commented "Ha! Predictable as ever, right down to the empty words. The omega key is under MY PROTECTION now, Draxas" Strider Zeta replied as he activate the primary outer defenses to Stall the Phantom dragon legions' advance "That is hardly a deterrent. I will enjoy taking the Omega key from your lifeless paws." Draxas replied with intent to kill as they objective primarily on wiping out the Phalitian dragons' ambush on heavy fire "Phalitian Dragons incoming!" Eron alerted while they are in heavy fire "Eron, Trace Strider Zeta's broadcast signal." Draxas stated to determine Strider Zeta's location "commencing sca, complete. It's origin is 12.7 cylo ahead, Scans reveal door structural integrity surrounding this maintenance access door." Eron stated as he pinpointed his location and take point "you heard him! Blast the wall!" Draxas ordered aggressively as they proceed to the lower city of Phalit "Draxas - - the city subsystems provide a direct line to the broadcast's signal origin." Eron stated "Descend here. And have a care - - one wrong step and you're a scrap dragon scale remnant." Draxas warned "uh...not that I'm arguing or anything, but...why don't we just go back to the dropship and hitch a ride?" Archelon stated as he descend down the maintenance shaft with caution "This is the shortest distance to travel,Archelon" Draxas stated "Phantom intruders! They're in the city! Sound the~ AAAAA!" An Epsilonian dragon before being shot down "Into the tunnel, phantoms. And try not to get crushed by the transporters." Draxas stated as they advance in "You're jokin' right?" Archelon stated "Yes, Archelon - - I am famous for my sparkling sense of humor. NOW GET MOVING! Before I tear you apart myself!" Draxas replied aggression "woah! Watch out!" Archelon replied as they notices a couple of security sentries as they flew through the tunnel "Don't get hit by the transport, you fool!" Draxas implied as they keep moving on the lower levels "Its no use, Draxas! The door's locked!" Archelon stated as he tried to pry open a sealed door "A simple solution. Then. Break the locks!" Draxas commanded as Archelon blasts the locks from the other side "What are you waiting for?" Draxas stated patiently as Archelon blasts the door locks successfully "Blow open that door!" Draxas commanded "move to that Exit! Now!" Draxas pointed out aggressively and a screech is heard nearby "uh..Draxas...?" Archelon stated "Quickly! Infuse those Generators with Dadk Erideum!" Draxas commanded aggressively as they deal with the Phalitian Dragon Cloakers "Phalitian cloakers detected!" Eron stated as they on heavy fire cover "Excellent work, Eron. Now unlock the exit door." Draxas pointed out as Eron opened the next door "Move, Phantoms! Double time!" Draxas stated to move out faster to their objective "Hey Eron, you wanna race?" Archelon states as he challenged Eron to a race "Negative." Eron replied to Archelon as they fly through the next tunnel junctions "There - - That station. From there we can infiltrate the lower levels of Phalit." Draxas takes point the next junction "What - - that it? I was kind of having fun. In a high speed, suicidal kind of flight." Archelon replied with little complaint "Draxas - - Omega key detected. We should proceed through the logistics station." Eron pointed out as he senses the omega key's energy signature as they dealt with the pack of Phalitian dragons intercepting them with relative ease in a shoot out combat "Take cover!" Archelon stated "Steady yourself, coward. I marked this area for Dark Erideum bomber." Draxas pointed out to Archelon "Are you insane?!? I mean...yes. Brilliant, Draxas!" Archelon stated confusedly to Draxas as they engaged in a fierce dragon fight "Perfect! Soon Phalit will be no more than a thick layer of rubble!" Draxas implied after ordering a bombing squad to Phalit's annex junction "The wreckage is in our way, Draxas." Archelon pointed out "Draxas - - the debris scans as stable enough to support our weight." Eron implied as they venture out in tithe debri field before intercepting a Phalitian Dragon transport "Hey! There's Phalitian Dragons unloading off the transport!" Archelon pointed out "Leave no Phalitian dragon alive!" Draxas implied as he commanded his unit to kill every single dragons that oppose them on a Fire fight with ease "Blast those Air borne Tallians!" Draxas commanded as the Tallians tries to flank them from above "Draxas - - I have detected the omega key, it lies beyond the this junction." Eron notified as they are closer to the objective "Move out, phantoms!" Draxas commanded to move out faster as the flew on the tunnel junction "Stay on the tracks and dodge incoming transports - - if you want to get smashed to pieces." Draxas pointed on "Scans reveal door structural integrity surrounding this maintenance access door." Eron implied as they advance on the Phalit Vaults. "Draxon! This Ikaron! We're pinned down outside Strider Zeta's Vaults! We need air support!" Ikaron pointed out aggressively "Excellent! Ikaron is already near the omega key!" Draxas implied to Ikaron's progress as they advance and engaged on a shoot out to provide reinforcements to Ikaron's forces "look! They've got Ikaron outnumbered down there!" Archelon stated as they saw Ikaron's forces outnumbered "RRRRAAAAAAAAA!!!" Ikaron grunted as he took on the Phalitian dragons easily while Archelon and Draxas' forces advance under a heavy fire and fire shoot out "Snipers! Across the ravine!" Archelon pointed out as he spotted sniper equipped Phalitian dragon troopers "Draxas - - the area is now clear." Eron implied as they successfully taken out the Phalitian forces "Let us speak with Ikaron then. I want to hear how my war is going." Draxas implied "waiting for your Orders, Draxas" Ikaron replied as they reached the objective "Lord Draxas!" Ikaron stated "Ikaron, report" Draxas implied "The Phalitian Dragons are dug in and our precious air commander won't provide support!" Ikaron aggressively pointed out "Enough excuses! Where is Strider Zeta?" Draxas asked "He's just behind those doors, Lord Draxas!" Ikaron pointed out aggressively "Witness the power of Dark Erideum!" Draxas stated as he tapped into the Dark matter's volatility to bring down the gates but failed "Impossible!" Draxas implied as he failed to bring down the gates "it will take more than a speck of Dark Erideum to breach the armor of our vaults. Surrender now, Draxas and I will consider sparing your life." Strider Zeta implied to Draxas and his forces to surrender "You dare threaten me!?! ME?!?" Draxas aggressively implied "So be it, Draxas. I leave you to your own...futility." Strider Zeta replied after Draxas un accepts his offer for him to surrender "Oh Great...here we go.." Archelon stated "Ikaron, Call in the Dark Erideum bombers!" Draxas aggressively commanded "But Draxas, there's too much firepower." Ikaron pointed out "DO AS I HAVE COMMANDED, IKARON!" Draxas aggressively commanded manner to destroy the gates "Yes, Draxas. Bombers, target this coordinates! Everyone else - - CLEAR THE AREA!" Ikaron pointed out to his forces at he bombers advances in "Look! It's Draxas!" A phantomonogen stated as he arrived "About Time. Why'd he show up so late?" Ikaron stated "SHUT UP! you trying to get us both killed?" Archelon replied to Ikaron "Bombers inbound!" Ikaron notified as the dropship bombers arrived carrying the payload but gotten shot down by the Ground-to-air defenses "Well...THAT was a Complete disaster." Archelon implied as he noticed the ships got shot down "Silence! Obviously our bombers are incompetent!" Draxas regards on the failed attempt of bombing as they move on to their next objective of disabling the anti aircraft guns "Lord Draxas - - if I may make a suggestion? Disabling the anti aircraft guns would open the way for our air support..." Ikaron suggested "an Excellent thought, Ikaron. carry it out." Draxas complimented to Ikaron "Phantom dragons! Take those guns!" Ikaron commanded his forces to take down the gun in-placements "Go! go! Go!" Archelon stated as he and his pack moves in to disable the guns "Turrets! They're gonna chop us to pieces!" Archelon exclaimed "No one turns back! Destroy those guns by ANY means necessary!" Draxas commanded aggressively to take down the aerial turrets "You heard Lord Draxas! Phantom dragons - - lay down cover fire while we take down that building!" Ikaron commanded his forces as they make an opening through under a heavy fire "The Phantom dragons stop here! FOR STRIDER ZETA!" An Epsilonian dragon said as they deal with the Phantom forces "weve got to protect the anti air guns!" An Epsilonian dragon soldier said as He was shot down shortly by Archelon's presence "Now! Hit the Phalitian dragons while they're distracted!" Ikaron advised as they created a diversion "There! The gun controls." Draxas pointed out as Archelon access its using a Dark Erideum detpack "Nice! Takes one gun to blow up the other!" Archelon implied "Draxas - - the controls are overloading." Eron stated to Draxas regarding the controls "Move, Phantom dragons!" Draxas commanded as the controls on the rear exploded "That almost punched our tickets! I thought Dark Erideum was on our side?" Archelon taunted about the effects of dark Erideum "Ikaron - - call in the bombers." Draxas commanded for another bombing attempt "transmitting the coordinates..." Ikaron stated "Ikaron, this Draxon! Your request is denied. I won't have you wasting more of my ships!" Draxon exclaimed aggressively at Ikaron via the comm link "I see. When did they become YOUR ships, Draxon?" Draxas implied to Draxon "Oh - - Lord Draxas! I didn't realize YOU were there!" Draxon exclaimed by his presence "Air Support request approved - - but it will take a few minutes before the bombers can reach you, I'm afraid you'll just have to be patient." Draxon implied as the Phalitian reinforcements heads on fast "We've got Phalitian Dragon reinforcements headed our way!" Ikaron aggressively exclaimed in their presence "I shall make you pay for this, Draxon. Phantom dragons - - Hold your grounds until the bombers arrive." Draxas commanded to take a defensive positions to defends the anti aircraft guns as they engage in a heavy fire "The Phalitian dragons think they can snipe us from the bridge! Show them their error!" Draxas stated as he mounted a Gun in-placement torrent to shoot them "that's it?!? We beat em'?" Archelon stated "No.No.No...there's NO way the Phalitian dragons would give up that easily."

Ikaron exclaimed as his forces expected company "Draxas! They're everywhere! What do we do??" Archelon pointed out "WE HOLD THEM OFF! The bombers will clear the ravine when they arrive! Rely on that!" Draxas pointed out in mild aggression as they engage the Phalitian forces in a heated flame shoot out "that's - - that's the WHOLE Phalitian Dragon army! We'll never - -" Archelon stated before getting intervened as the bombers arrived shortly "Bombing run will commence in five...four...three..two...one!"

Eron warns Archelon to evade fast "Come no further, Draxas! The sacred vaults are no place for your tainted heart!" Strider Zeta angrily stated as Draxas and his forces managed to get past his primary defenses "Nothing is sacred to me, Strider Zeta, you should have realized that by now. Phantom dragons! Advance!" Draxas stated to Strider Zeta as he commanded his forces to advance Inside the vault gallery halls "Finally! The omega key is within my~ what?" Draxas stated and interrupted before the Omega key is held back by Strider Zeta in his claws to safeguard it as well lure Draxas in "Did you really think it would be that easy?" Strider Zeta implied as he appeared "Come down. HERE, Strider Zeta, and I will give you the answer you seek to your question!" Draxas pointed out to Strider to challenge him "I shall remain where I am - - this vantage point will provide an excellent view of your destruction." Strider Zeta implied as he activated the Defense Vantage Point to eradicate Draxas and his forces as they aim to defeat Strider Zeta and get the omega key "My will controls this entire Gallery, Draxas. I need only to close my paw to crush the life out of you!" Strider Zeta angrily implied "The floor is glowing! It's everywhere! He's gonna smash us!" Archelon exclaimed in panic as Strider Zeta makes his move to eradicate Draxas forces in the random places in the gallery as Draxas and his forces took on heavy fire "Do you see now, Draxas?

Draxas implied back to strider "Here, I have the power to control and create..." strider Zeta implied as he sends out bolts of electric flames on all directions "Do you see how futile your struggle is, Draxas?" Strider Zeta implied to Draxas as he sends out his Holographic Avatar extensions of himself "Is that all, Strider? A pathetic army of your Erideum Avatar Clones? Is that the best you can do?" Draxas arrogantly replied to Strider as his first wave of his Erideum Avatars are obliterated "HAHAHAHAHA! you have NO idea! Here, I have limitless power!" Strider Zeta replied back to Draxas with pride demeanor "Draxas, we may able to damage Strider's machinery during its recharge cycle." Eron take point as he noticed an opening while Archelon commenced fire "A valiant attempt, Phantom Dragons, but Phalitian technology is more resilient than you realize." Strider Zeta implied as the Phantomonogens attempts to bring him down with ease "In this chamber, MY will reigns supreme, Draxas!" Strider Zeta Implied with certainty as Archelon and his unit dodges strider's attacks with difficultly "How can we win of he keeps making more avatars?!?" Archelon exclaimed as Strider Zeta generated a second wave of his Avatars to fight them off in a fierce Fire-melee combat "It's only a matter of time before you're overwhelmed!" Strider Zeta angrily stated "shoot the big glowing thing! SHOOT IT!!!" Archelon aggressively implied as the directs to shoot the core of the machinery "Your machine is failing, Strider Zeta..Where are are your boasts now??"
