0Chapter 6 - The Xodar's Sky Palace on Essicolt
Story: Navigating through swarms of asteroids and defeating monks of Rodix Cult, Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella have discovered in computers of Rodix Cult's base a diabolical secret where Rodix Cult recovered dying body of Xodar with help of Empire of the Night's mortal henchmen: Sherry LeBlanc, Aoi Rokusho, Madara Uchiha, Duen Long aka Breaking Wave, Sa'luk, Azula of Fire Nation and Kylo Ren who are now planning to transfer Xodar's consciousness into Prince Char who along with Ella are destined to become King and Queen of four houses of Pok Majoris in orbit of aquatic planet Mon Calamari. Which would mark start of Empire of the Night's new nefarious scheme of conquering universe by abducting dying bodies to cheat death and make hosts of bodies become brainwashed slaves to the Empire of the Night. Upon this discovery, our heroes realized that Kernag was not a criminal but an agent who kidnapped Char and Ella to protect them. Now Char and Xodar's dying body are located in Xodar's sky palace on lush, semi-tropical planet called Essicolt aka Wayland in Outer Rim Territories, which is where Sharn met Ang Leung of Golden Dragon Clan for first time during her life as widow after death of Endon right after Shadow Lord was defeated which led to liberation of Deltora Kingdom on planet Deltora. Knowing that speed is of the essence, Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella waste no time and head for Essicolt. Jarred, Lief, Barda, Jasmine, Sharn, Mira, Oskar, Gothetta and Ella arrived on Essicolt where they now must fight against abbot named General Dorokan of Rodix Cult who is in command of Xodar's sky palace where Xodar commands a rag tag fleet of old soldiers, lost imperialists, slaves of Xodar, and his insane plans for galactic domination in the name of Empire of the Night and Rodix Cult alike.
Gameplay: You can set game to make it have enemies fire or not fire at all. Sixth levels are medium. New enemies you will meet in these levels are Slicers, Tridents, Predators, Glaives, Firestars, Angels, and Eagles. Slicers are pacman-shaped ships colored in bright-orange with two orange flares on their backsides which move fast in curvy pathways. Tridents are ships with three spikes in front of themselves colored in steel-blue with two blue flares on left and right wing in middle of themselves which move fast in curvy pathways and fire bullets in random directions. Predators are manta-shaped ships colored in bright-green with frontal guns colored in red and one green flare on their backside which are slower versions of Vampires capable of firing bullets in direction they are facing. Glaives are sword-shaped ships colored in white and blue-indigo on their backsides with one blue flare on their backsides which are faster versions of Predators, but with a slower rate of turning. Firestars are star-shaped ships with seven spikes and one longer spike on frontside colored in cyan and sky-blue with two blue flares on left and right which move fast and chase after you and fire bullets in directions they are facing just like Predators and Glaives. However, unlike Predators and Glaives, Firestars will turn around whenever you turn your ship to face them directly because Firestars always try to attack you from behind, Firestars are slow but they have fast rate of turning. Angels are angel-shaped ships colored in white-yellow which move fast and always chase after you until you turn your ship to face them directly because Angels always try to attack you from behind, just like Firestars. Angels are faster than Firestars but they don't fire anything at all. Eagle is a pacman-shaped ship colored in shades of grey and crimson which move fast and always chase after you until you turn your ship to face them directly because Eagles always try to attack you from behind, just like Firestars and Angels. However, unlike Firestars and Angels, Eagles fire bullets in random directions. Xodar's Flagship is a boss type of ship which is very thick and endlessly deploys Fireflies of Orange Variant to kill you. However, when destroyed, Xodar's Flagship will not release escape pods at all. Sixth extra weapon I will explain here is Nova Rockets. Nova Rockets allows you to fire one big orange golden missile which will after few seconds split into four smaller orange golden bullets called Sunstars that will chase after enemies, similarly to yellow pickups. Ammo quantity for Nova Rockets is 300.
