The Emperors eventually made their presence known, raiding a secret supply exchange between [[The Last City]] and the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]] within the vicinity of the [[Twilight Gap]] in an attempt to devastate the leadership of both factions. Thankfully, the Emperors were stopped, but soon enough, their efforts to take over [[The Reef]] became known when the Emperors assaulted the [[Forum:Lions' Run|Lions' Run]]. [[The Guardian]] was sent to help the Lions retake their lair, where they came across Syndri, a genetically engineered [[Forum:Infused-Fallen|Infused Fallen]] who damaged the Lions' Run greatly and escaped. With the Emperors driven from the Reef, the [[Vanguard]] and the Lions would joined forces once again, in an attempt to located and stop the Emperors before they launch a full fledged assault on The Last City. | The Emperors eventually made their presence known, raiding a secret supply exchange between [[The Last City]] and the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]] within the vicinity of the [[Twilight Gap]] in an attempt to devastate the leadership of both factions.

The Lions and the Guardian were then approached by [[Forum:Vrylzesk, the Illustrious|Vrylzesk, the Illustrious]], a former Lion Enforcer who revealed the Emperors' stronghold in the remnants of Colorado. In a joint effort, the Guardian lead the Lions on an invasion of the Colorado Badlands, where they established a small outpost on the outskirts of Denver. Both the Lions | The Lions and the Guardian were then approached by [[Forum:Vrylzesk, the Illustrious|Vrylzesk, the Illustrious]], a former Lion Enforcer who revealed the Emperors' stronghold in the remnants of Colorado. In a joint effort, the Guardian lead the Lions on an invasion of the Colorado Badlands, where they established a small outpost on the outskirts of Denver. Both Vrylzesk and the Lion's General [[Forum:Magnusk, Lions' Wrath|Magnusk]] tasked the guardians with several missions to drive out the Emperors. However, this invasion also startled a secret sect of [[Hive]] who were initially driven out of the city by the Emperors and back to their [[Seeder Ship]]s. This lead into a three way war within the Colorado Badlands. | ||
During the conflict, the Guardian and the Lions lead an assault on the Emperor's Intelligence Center to learn more about their enemy. It was there where they learned that Atrykis and Egroskyk had developed a [[Void]]-based weapon that could destroy the Traveler, and that Syndri was already deployed to the Last City to trigger it. After barely evading the Emperor's ambush at the Intelligence Center, the Guardian quickly made it back to The Last City, just as Syndri detonated the weapon and blew open a hole in the City's wall. Despite this, they were able to corner Syndri in the [[Ridgeback District]] and kill him once and for all. | |||
However, it was later revealed that Atrykis had sent a decoy, and that the real weapon was being mounted on his Ketch. With the City's defenses in disarray, Vrylzesk and Magnusk staged a joint assault on the Emperor's Citadel back in the Badlands. 6 Guardians were sent to assault the keep, destroying the Emperors' [[Land Tank]] outside the Citadel and killing the Emperor's Guard Commander [[Forum:Tarlysk, Guard Commander|Tarlysk]]. Infiltrating the Citadel, the Fireteam also managed to destroy the [[Prime Servitor]] [[Forum:Xeliks Prime|Xeliks Prime]] and wipe out the Imperial Court. However, upon reaching the Throne Room, they found that Atrykis had already vacated the Citadel and left his two children [[Forum:Prerlysk, Emperor Prince|Prerlysk]] and [[Forum:Afreklyn, Emperor Princess|Afreklyn]] to delay the Guardians. Both of them were slain in a battle that leveled the Throne Room and heavily damaged the Citadel. | |||
Atrykis took advantage of the ensuing Chaos and had his Ketch make a burn for The Last City. However, the Ketch was intercepted on the way there by Skiffs from the House of Lions and the Claw of Vrylzesk. Meanwhile, the original Fireteam, having stolen a Skiff from the Emperors, used it to board Xeliks-Fel. There they faced many members of the Emperor's Wrath, and eventually managed to track down Atrykis to the weapon chamber. | |||
When he realized guns alone would not stop the Guardians, the Emperor Kell began to siphon energy from the weapon itself and use it against his assailants. However, his overuse of the weapon and the damaged he sustained in the fight, caused it to overload. Atrykis ignored the warnings and aimed to ram Xeliks-Fel into the Traveler itself in a kamikaze run. Thankfully, the Guardians managed to disarm the weapon beforehand, which caused a feedback loop that killed Atrykis and heavily damaged the Ketch. The Guardians just barely managed to escape via Skiff as Xeliks-Fel collided into a mountain pass and burst into a cascade of flames, thus ending the Emperors' Threat on the Last City | |||

Some time after the defeat of Kirito and Asuna and their armies of Shadowkeepers, Akildis was approached by an emissary of the [[Forum:Sanctum Heralds|Sanctum Heralds]]. She was promised the chance to reform the Eliksni Empire, and the opportunity to resurrect Atrykis. Unknowing of the Heralds' true intention, Akildis and her Traditionalists swore loyalty to the [[The Void|Void]] and set up her lair in the [[Forum:Decrepit Wastes|Decrepit Wastes]], ready to serve amongst the Heralds. | Some time after the defeat of Kirito and Asuna and their armies of Shadowkeepers, Akildis was approached by an emissary of the [[Forum:Sanctum Heralds|Sanctum Heralds]].

Not too long after, Vrylzesk intercepted a mysterious signal coming from Old Earth Vancouver. Initially, he only believed that the Traditionalists were seeking to scavenge the city for new weaponry. However, as he learned more, he eventually came to the revelations of the Sanctum Heralds, and their discovery of the Veilgate beneath the Wastes. Positioning his Ketch in orbit above Earth, he alerted both the [[Vanguard]] and [[Forum:Eternal Brotherhood|Eternal Brotherhood]] about the Heralds and the location of the Wastes before deploying his own forces. | ||
