Commander Phillip Graves was sent out by General Shepherd.. to retrieve a hybrid. A Rare one, not only was this hybrid a dragon, this hybrid was intelligent, docile, not a mindless killing machine, and Shepherd wanted them found for the US before anyone else found them.

He and his shadows searched the entire compound. Nothing. Until..

"Sir.. there's something down there.." one of his shadows said motioning to the stairs going down into the darkness.

So down they went into the pitch black.
