After the uprising, the rightful king is restored to the throne, but the rebuilding process is hindered by continued resistance from the prior regime. As the king brings the two groups together through his liasion to discuss the situation, he finds that the group run by the previous leader's regime is becoming more and more stubborn. At the same time, his researchers manage to fix the broken Gateway between their planet and his Queen's homeland, but when he sends scouts to the other side, they find only darkness and a wasteland. To make matters worse, when they return with the news, an undiscovered threat hitches a ride with them back to their planet to wreak havoc. As the king and queen struggle to unite their divided kingdom against the newest threat, they search frantically for any way to defeat it or an explanation for what it wants, only to discover that the answers are nowhere to be found. In desperation, they send their best men to the planet searching for the answers they cannot find, but when the answer comes back, it looks bleak. The one they are facing isn't the only one, and the rest are out for just one thing: anarchy. War is coming fast.
