Backstory[]
Lisbon, Portugal, is the main communications center for ATHENA. BRES detected Lisbon's constant monitoring of the Orion complex in Iceland, sending a massive bomber run to wipe out the Lisbon ATHENA headquarters and put a stop to their surveillance.

This high-speed stage takes place over the city of Lisbon, Portugal, at night. Once the Stymphalian Birds are in sight, air raid sirens begin to blare.
Notable encounters[]
Lesser enemies[]
- Mikoyan MiG-29s (Russian: Микоян МиГ-29; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum): Massive swarms of these Soviet-built twin-engine fighters accompany the Stymphalian Birds. These aircraft were designed originally by the Soviet Union during the 1970's alongside the Sukhoi Su-27, and are still being produced and have been in service for the Russian Aerospace Forces since 1981.
- Miniature Obsidian Perytons: Appear onscreen at high speed, fire fast aimed shots at players, and leave just as quickly.
- Large white bombers (name unknown): Release S and/or B on destruction.
Miniboss[]
Stymphalian Birds: A formation of 16 of these gigantic bomber planes is encountered throughout the stage.
Endboss[]
Obsidian Peryton engages the players after leaving the bomber formation.
