As Reid warned him, Trent ends up dodging large slabs of earth and rock, pulled from the walls of Ixmucane's caves and thrown at his ship, using the power of Gravitium. But at the end of the battle, Trent stands victorious over the Microsol defenses, many of which probably got crushed by their extremely careless use of said flying rock slabs.
This victory only lasts a few minutes. Vykromod threatens Trent again, but Reid urges him not to waste time and flee the planet ; an extremely large fleet has just been detected nearby. Trent flies towards the Stargate, his only possible escape from such a massive fleet... could this fleet be the Microsol fleet itself, finally on its way towards military domination?

As far as I know, this level is completely optional ; dying will let you continue. However, I'm not sure whether your lives are restored, or if you continue with only one.

Unlike Episode's 1 Bonus level, this one is hard.

1. Green ships of doom are back to haunt you. At first, they come slowly, then faster and faster. However, the faster they come, the less time they stay on-screen, and thus they're EASIER to dodge. The Repulsor works surprisingly well ; you can stay in a corner and spam it until the ships are very close. But you can also dodge.
Invulnerability works against the first group of Green Ships. Then avoid them.

2. Then you'll face a blockade of 6 Green Ships, in a line. Be ready to turn Invulnerable ; when you'll see them, they'll all focus fire on you, and if you're caught off-guard, you're space bacon. Dodging works pretty well, but it's random to a certain extent, as you can't really keep track of all the bullets. Try to destroy this group so that you have time to turn Invulnerable for the second.

3. Don't forget the power-up a purple ship drops, during the 1st Green Ship horizontal line.

4. The orange... things are invincible, so they protect the Sonic Wave-shooting ships. However, these ships are VERY fragile. A side-firing weapon can easily destroy them, even through the orange stuff.

5. When you reach the part with the ships coming from behind, on the sides, don't panic. You can turn Invulnerable to easily wipe out ALL of them on the screen. Then move to the top, wait a second or 2 for your shields to recharge, and use Invulnerability again.
Also, you can go on the very right or left of the screen, behind the Orange Things. If you go to the left, the sonic Waves from the right WON'T SHOW UP. Use the Firebomb's rear-diagonal shots to destroy the ships behind you, before they crash into you.

6. More Orange things from behind. Same strategy, but now there are Giant Green Balls pushing you around. These don't deal damage, but can push you into the Orange Things. Try to turn Invulnerable and wipe all Sonic Wave ships from the screen, ignoring the Green Balls as much as you can.


Overall, difficult level, but not THAT hard if you use Repulsor / use Invulnerability / Got here to begin with.
Difficulty : 7/10
