The last obstacle between the dragon and the Tower was the Imperial Capital itself; this city was the heart of the Empire, an overcrowded metropolis that stretched out along vast and murky waterways beneath a contaminated sky.

This bio-engineered army - along with the remnants of the Imperial fleet, and the Dark Dragon itself - fired upon Kyle from all sides as he sped down the waterways of the city.
