After forming an alliance with the Cyclonian Empire, Terra Cyclonia was immediately besieged by the Yuuzhan Vong. Worldships began attacking the Terra. Soon enough, Yuuzhan Vong warriors began attacking the Cyclonian Palace. A Talon quickly alerted Master Cyclonis to the attack.

Talon: Master Cyclonis! The aliens are attacking Terra Cyclonia! They've already breached the palace!

Ravess: We need to push those things back!

Master Cyclonis: Agreed. But now we have more able bodies to help with the defense. 

As Master Cyclonis said this, she glanced over to the Storm Hawks. At this point, they knew what they needed to do. Despite this, some of them were not too thrilled about the aspect of helping the Cyclonians. 

Finn: I can't believe we're actually helping the Cyclonians!

Aerrow: I know, but we have no other choice. We need their help if we're going to beat the Yuuzhan Vong! 

Junko: What's the plan?!

As Junko asked that, the Cyclonian Palace was rocked by a powerful explosion. It seemed ironic to them that the sounds of war from the Yuuzhan Vong were able to drown out the constant storms that raged throughout Terra Cyclonia. The Storm Hawks soon met up with Master Cyclonis and her chief lieutenants along with a squadron of Talons at the Cyclonian Throne Room. 

Master Cyclonis: The Yuuzhan Vong are quite tenacious. 

Dark Ace: They will fall, Master Cyclonis. I will personally see to that. 

Master Cyclonis: Storm Hawks. You've fought their kind before. What exactly are we fighting. 

Aerrow: They fight with...living weapons. They also have some kind of high pain tolerance. 

Master Cyclonis: Is that all? Too easy. Cyclonians! Your orders are clear! Kill anything that comes through that door! Leave no survivors! 

The Cyclonians let out a collected roar as they prepared themselves for battle. The Storm Hawks readied their weapons as they prepared to fight side by side with the Cyclonians. Soon enough, the Yuuzhan Vong broke through the door. One of the Yuuzhan Vong warriors raised his Amphistaff.

Yuuzhan Vong Warrior: Kill the heretics! Kill them all! 

The Yuuzhan Vong swarmed the Throne Room and attacked everyone with viciousness and brutality. The Talons were quickly taken out by the Vong's Amphistaff. Master Cyclonis used Crystal Staff to take out a few of the Vong Warriors while Dark Ace cut them down with her sword. Ravess fired her energy Bow and Arrow while Snipe attacked them with his Energy Mace.

Snipe: Die you freaks! Die before the might of the Cyclonian Empire! 

As one of the Yuuzhan Vong was about to ambush Snipe, Junko rushed in and used his Knucklebusters to attack and dispatch the Vong. Soon enough, the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians were boxed in. 

Finn: This is getting bad, guys! 

Piper: We're boxed in!

Aerrow: We need an exit strategy fast!

As the Vong were about to execute the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians, a large Yuuzhan Vong with bone grafted armor entered the room. The Vong warriors knelt before him. 

Yuuzhan Vong Warrior: Behold the great soldier, commander of corps Great Tsavong Lah, the master of war.

Tsavong towered over the rest of the warriors in the room. He then sets his black eyes on the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians. 

Tsavong: Citizens of Atmos. Your civilization is built on abominations. Your galaxy is polluted. We have come to cleanse it, so that others besides our warrior caste may occupy it and live cleanly here. It is our destiny, according to our Supreme Overlord and the priests.

Master Cyclonis: You have made a grave mistake, monster. I am Master Cyclonis, Empress of the Cyclonian Empire and I will not bow to outsiders from another world.

Tsavong: Your world is polluted with abominations. The very existence of these abominations is an affront of our way of life. 

Meanwhile, Stork quietly contacted the Condor. Meanwhile, Stork quietly alerted Aerrow and the others about the Condor's impending arrival. Aerrow soon confronted Tsavong. 

Aerrow: Whatever your plans are, we'll beat you! We won't let you win!

Tsavong: Your words hold no substance. All living creatures serve the Yuuzhan Vong. And we serve the gods.

It became clear to both the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians that the Yuuzhan Vong intended to not only conquer Atmos, but enslave all who resided in it. That was unacceptable to both the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians.

Master Cyclonis: I am no slave. 

Aerrow: We'll fight you!

Tsavong: Then you all shall die. You will all know the glory of a painful death. 

As the Yuuzhan Vong prepared to execute them, the Condor crashed through the ceiling and began firing on Tsavong and the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong. As the loading ramp opened, the Storm Hawks saw their chance. 

Aerrow: We have to get out of here!

Dark Ace: We will not run!

Piper: We're outmatched! We need to retreat!

Master Cyclonis: Piper is right. We must fall back. But we will take back what has been taken from us. That I promise.

Left with no other choice, the Storm Hawks along with Master Cyclonis and her chief lieutenants boarded the Condor and departed from the Cyclonian Palace. 

Tsavong: Run, heretics, run. You only prolong the inevitable.

As Tsavong said this, the Yuuzhan Vong were able to conquer Terra Cyclonia, but the majority of the Cyclonian Fleet was able to escape. As the invasion of Atmos continued, the Yuuzhan Vong had begun their vicious assault on Atmos while the Storm Hawks and the Cyclonians retreated and lived to fight another day.
