Chapter 3: Trapped in the Void
Before the epic battle in which Dragon took down Khan, our hero met and
enlisted the help of Rex Dexter. An elderly super intelligent scientist and
the armored-suited hero known as Battletank, Rex Dexter was instrumental in
providing Dragon with the technology that he needed to defeat Khan. In
exchange for his help Rex required that Dragon promise to assist him in
finding his missing daughter when the battle was over.
Rex's daughter, Lexie; and her bodyguard, Sterling Mason; had been lost
in the Void (otherwise known as Dimension X), a plane of existence beyond
space and time. The scientists had invented a portal to reach the Void, and
when Rex's daughter entered it, she never returned.
After defeating Khan, Dragon fulfilled his promise to
Rex and entered the Void in search of Lexie. Using tracking equipment and a
“grav”pack developed by Rex, Dragon was able to locate Lexie who was
trapped in a mysterious pod of viscous liquid. He entered the pod and
grabbed Lexie, and after some struggling was able to break free out of the
pod. Unknown to Dragon at the time, the pods belonged to a sinister
Void-dwelling villain by the name of Deathseed. The purpose of the pods are
still unknown, but what is known is that the pods cause time to “slow to a
crawl” like suspended animation when anyone enters them. When Dragon finally
breaks out, he finds Barberic, Mako, Dart, Horridus, and Ricochet there
trying to save him by battling Deathseed’s troops. Dragon managed to escape
back to Earth with the group saving Lexie, and another unknown man (whom
Dragon mistakenly thought was Sterling Mason) that was also trapped in a
pod.
During his
escape Dragon learned that what felt like minutes to him in the pod was
actually two whole years! Back in Rex’s lab, Lexie vomits demon like slugs
that seem to have eaten her hollow from the inside. As her lifeless body
slumps, the slugs are squashed by Dragon, but not before one is able to bite
Rex.. The unknown man found in the Void has amnesia and can’t remember
anything. He is dubbed “Ben Blank” Dragon discovers that in the past two
years he was trapped in the Void, the world has made much progress
rebuilding from destruction caused by Cyberface.
