On the planet Axxon 9 two races of beings known as the Carxai and the Taarinians having been warring for centuries. For a millennia the green fleshed Carxai ruled over the blue fleshed Taarinians with tyranny and oppression, until the Taarinians rose up and led a successful rebellion against the Carxai which led to a 300 year war of numerous battles. In the present day a Carxus military leader known as Veerus Rayne is on a renegade mission with Carxus military scientist known as Calman Morr to detonate a nuclear weapon in the Taarinian city of Centrallis.

Flying at high speed in , Veerus and Calman are steering their ship closer to the city of Centrallis with numerous Taarinian battle pods behind the firing at their ship. “How much longer to we breach the city limits?” Veerus called out while shooting back at the Taarinian pursuers. “Less than a mile” Calman called back. Their ship suddenly took a powerful blast that sent them crashing into the ground.

“Are you okay?” Veerus asked. “I’m fine “ Calman responded while rising to his feet. “Come on Calman. We have to make haste for the center of the city”. Calman and Veerus quickly exited the damaged ship with their weapons and the nuclear device in hand. “Hurry Calman” Veerus urged. “We have to get to the city as quick.” “How are we going to get out of the city before the weapon detonates?” Calman asked. “Some of our soldiers will remote teleport us out of the area with our teleport nexus.” In the distance the two Carxai warriors spotted a large group of armed Taarinians closing in on them fast while firing their weapons.

“Let’s go” Veerus called out as the two men took off. “How much more time do you need?” Veerus asked while shooting at the Taarinians. “Just a few more moments” Calman responded while programming the nuke. “It’s a bit hard to focus with an army of Taarinian’s chasing you”. “Just be grateful we’re not dealing with shapeshifting Taarinians, like general Rocah” Veerus added. “They could be lurking right up under our noses and we’d never know they were there”. “I’ll keep that in mind” Calman added. “We’re here. The center of the city. I just need a few more seconds to activate the bomb.”

At the sound of Calman’s voice, Veerus reached into his waste and and pulled out a grenade which he threw at the group of Taarinians. The grenade went off and blew the group away as Calman and Veerus hit the deck. “You clear?” Veerus asked. “Yes” Calman responded. “Three…two…one. It’s armed the bomb is ready to go off”. “Finally” Veerus responded. “We will finally restore Axxon to its former glory”. “Or not” Calman responded menacingly as he shapeshifters into a Taarinian general Rocah. “What is this?” Veerus asked in shocked. “A shapeshifting Taarinian who misled you to a Carxus city and tricked you into nuking it, never again sir…” Rocah concluded as he teleported away.
