Astra Blaze paced the holographic war room, her fiery red hair reflecting the flickering images projected on the central table. The tension in Nova City was thick enough to cut with a plasma blade. Cygnus Vortex, a blur of blue energy thanks to his Gravity Prism, materialized beside her."Reports from the Vorlaxian outpost are grim, Astra," he said, his voice deep and resonating. "They've lost all contact."Astra slammed her fist on the table, a holographic map of the galaxy shimmering for a moment. "Damn it. Xanathar must be behind this. But why attack a backwater outpost?""Perhaps it's a diversion," suggested a new voice. Orion Shield, a towering figure clad in shimmering golden armor, stood tall. His Celestial Prism granted him unparalleled strength and defense. "He could be planning a larger strike, testing our defenses."A wave of nausea washed over Jace Swift. He sat at the edge of the table, his Denarian rank still fresh, feeling the weight of responsibility. He'd only flown his first mission a week ago, the thrill of piloting a Prism Glider quickly fading in the harsh reality of galactic war.Suddenly, a holographic figure flickered to life – Commander Lyra Nova, her steely gaze piercing the room. "Jace," she addressed him directly, "prepare for immediate deployment. We've intercepted a distress signal from a Millennial patrol near the Xandros border. It seems Xanathar's forces are on the move."Jace's heart hammered against his ribs. This was it. His first real combat mission. He exchanged a nervous glance with Rhea Luxe, another Denarian with sparkling purple hair and an air of quiet confidence.They wasted no time. In a flurry of activity, Jace and Rhea donned their sleek black combat suits, the suits humming to life as the Prism energy within responded. Armed with plasma rifles and energy blades, they joined Orion and a squad of Syfon Warriors – elite soldiers known for their draining energy attacks.Their transport – a sleek, shark-shaped combat ship christened the "Solar Fury" – roared with life as they blasted off from the Prism Corps hangar. The neon cityscape of Nova City receded behind them as they hurtled towards the Xandros border, the vast emptiness of space dotted with the twinkling lights of distant galaxies.As they neared their destination, static crackled through the comms. "Incoming hostiles!" a Syfon Warrior yelled, his voice tense.On the main screen, a swarm of Xandros warships emerged from the shadows, their hulls emblazoned with the dark sigil of Xanathar. A cold dread filled Jace's stomach. On the other side of the screen, a smaller Prism Corps vessel, the "Cosmic Dawn," sputtered under heavy fire."They're outnumbered," Orion boomed, his voice filled with grim resolve. "We need to even the odds. Rhea, flank them from the left. Jace, with me. We're going straight through."Their ship lurched forward, dodging a volley of plasma fire. Jace felt his stomach lurch as Orion expertly maneuvered the "Solar Fury," weaving between asteroids and enemy lasers. The cockpit flickered with warnings as their shields strained."Hold on tight, rookie!" Orion yelled over the comms as he activated the hyper cannons. A blinding flash filled the cockpit as the "Solar Fury" unleashed a devastating barrage of energy, crippling several Xandros ships.Jace gritted his teeth, adrenaline coursing through his veins. He wasn't just here to fly. He was here to fight.Just then, a new threat emerged from the shadows. A sleek, obsidian warship unlike anything Jace had ever seen materialized behind the Xandros fleet. Its hull thrummed with an ominous energy."What is that?" Rhea's voice crackled over the comms, laced with fear."Unknown," Orion growled. "But it doesn't look friendly."The mysterious ship unleashed a wave of dark energy, engulfing the remaining Xandros ships and plunging them into an inky blackness. The Syfon Warriors recoiled, their energy reserves depleted.A figure materialized on the main screen – cloaked in darkness, with eyes that glowed like embers. A chilling voice echoed through the comms."You are trespassing, Prism Corps. This territory belongs to the Void Reaver."A wave of dread washed over Jace. He had just stepped onto the battlefield of a much larger war, one where the fate of the galaxy hung in the balance.
