Jace Swift gripped the controls of the Prism Glider, his knuckles white with anticipation. Beside him, Orion Shield, a mountain of a man clad in shimmering blue battle armor, exuded stoic calm. In the rear, Rhea Luxe, a Denarian with cybernetic enhancements that pulsed a soft violet, reviewed mission parameters on her holographic display.Their destination: a distress beacon emanating from a Vorlaxian research outpost nestled within the swirling nebula of Xylos. Rumors swirled around the outpost – whispers of reality fracturing, time distorting, and spectral figures sighted flitting through the corridors."This isn't a Denarian mission, Jace," Orion rumbled, his voice deep as the nebula itself. "This reeks of Phantom Mirage's handiwork."Jace, ever the optimist, countered, "Maybe. But every mission is a Denarian mission if we're the only ones available, right?" He glanced at Rhea, hoping for a smile, but her expression remained stoic.Their Glider pierced the swirling gasses of Xylos, the vibrant hues of the nebula momentarily distorted by a flicker of… something. Rhea gasped. "My sensors are fried! We're entering some kind of temporal anomaly!"Before Jace could react, the world fractured around them. Neon skyscrapers of Nova City morphed into crumbling Martian landscapes, then twisted into an ethereal forest bathed in an unnatural purple light. Disoriented, Jace fought for control of the Glider, sweat beading on his brow."This is Phantom's game!" Orion boomed, his voice echoing strangely in the fractured reality. "He's manipulating time and space!"From the depths of the purple forest, shadowy figures emerged. Phantom Mirage himself, garbed in shimmering black armor that seemed to absorb the light, materialized at their head. His eyes, glowing orbs of emerald fire, locked onto Jace."Welcome, young pilot," Phantom's voice slithered, laced with amusement. "Lost in the labyrinth of my own design, are we?"A holographic figure shimmered beside Jace – Commander Lyra Nova, her stern expression a beacon of authority even across this fractured reality. "Jace, focus on the mission. Orion, disrupt the temporal anomaly with your Celestial Prism."Orion slammed a fist into his chestplate, activating his Prism Stone. A wave of pure energy surged from him, rippling through the distorted landscape. Buildings flickered back to their neon glory, the Martian plains vanished, replaced by the swirling nebula of Xylos.With renewed clarity, Jace spotted the Vorlaxian outpost, a mangled metal skeleton bathed in an ominous red glow. "There!" he yelled, steering the Glider towards it.As they neared, the red light intensified, emanating from a central structure. Rhea gritted her teeth. "Energy signatures… chaotic… unstable…"Suddenly, a figure emerged from the red light. It was a Vorlaxian scientist, his skin mottled with strange markings, eyes wide with terror. He pointed a trembling hand at the pulsating red structure behind him before dissolving into shimmering dust.Phantom's laughter echoed around them. "This outpost has stumbled upon a power beyond their comprehension, a tear in the fabric of reality itself! Perhaps the Void Reaver lurks at the other end…"Jace felt a cold dread grip his heart. The Void Reaver, the entity that craved to extinguish all light, was a legend – a nightmare whispered in hushed tones.Cygnus Vortex, his form flickering in and out of existence due to the temporal anomaly, materialized beside the Glider. "We can't let that tear widen. Vega, disrupt the energy flow!"Vega, his form barely visible, materialized next to Cygnus. A surge of electromagnetic energy pulsed from him, momentarily disrupting the red glow."Not enough!" Astra Blaze's voice boomed through the comms. A streak of white light shot through the distorted reality, slamming into the red structure. Astra, bathed in solar energy, landed beside them. "We need to stabilize the anomaly before it consumes everything."Jace swallowed hard. This was no longer a Denarian mission. It was a full-fledged Prism Corps operation, and he, a green pilot, was right in the thick of it.
