{{BI|Crystal Calamity}} is the twenty-second mission in the ''[[Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'' [[campaign]].

[[Hawke]] explains the use of the [[Black Obelisk]] and says that is what [[Black Hole]] is using to drain the energy from [[Omega Land]].<ref>{{cite|The black obelisk. That's what they called it. It's what they're using to drain the energy from this land.|Hawke|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> Although [[Jake]] tries to reassure everyone that the citizens of Omega Land are supporting them and thus they cannot lose,<ref>{{cite|What you guys are doing...it's whack. Trashing the land for your own profit? That's just sick. All of the people who live here have got our backs. Factory workers, scientists, bakers... They're all with us. We won't lose.|Jake|Advance Wars}}</ref> [[Kindle]] mocks him and reveals the [[Black Onyx]], a giant battle satellite which is considered to be [[Black Hole]]'s ultimate weapon.<ref>{{cite|Aha ha ha. You mean the rabble?! A ton of garbage is still garbage. Let me introduce you to reality. Reality is what you see above you. THAT is reality! What you see is more than 22,000 miles above us, in outer space. That glistening ebon star you see is Black Hole's ultimate weapon. Tremble before our magnificent battle satellite, Black Onyx!|Kindle|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> Furthermore, she explains that in fifty minutes, the satellite's barrier field will be operational and make the black obelisk invincible.<ref>{{cite|In a mere...fifty minutes from now, its barrier field will be operational. Once it's in place, the black obelisk will be safe for all eternity! Do I need to spell this out for you fools? You don't have a chance!|Kindle|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> [[Rachel]], still determined, informs the rest of the [[Commanding Officer]]s that their first goal should be to take out the Black Onyx to drop its shield.<ref>{{cite|We've received fresh intel. Black Onyx is equipped with a state-of-the-art particle defence system. The barrier field it projects shields the black obelisk from fire. Our first order of business is to take out the Onyx and drop that shield.|Rachel|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> Although [[Grimm]] is worried on how they will be able to attack it in outer space,<ref>{{cite|Whoa?! It's in outer space, it's huge, and...it's in outer space! That's far!|Grimm|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> Hawke and [[Lash]] explain that the [[Missile Silo]]s in the battlefield are especially designed to seek out and destroy satellites.<ref>{{cite|Not a problem. The missile silos here are not armed with ordinary missiles.|Hawke|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Allow me to explain. The missiles here are specifically designed to seek and destroy satellites. They're part of the ASDS--our anti-satellite defence system.|Lash|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref> With that in mind, Rachel orders that all [[Infantry (unit)|infantry]] and [[mech]] units should immediately capture all nine silos scattered throughout the field while being careful that they do not fall into enemy hands. If all nine silos are fired, the Black Onyx will be destroyed completely.<ref>{{cite|Let's get our infantry and mech units out there and capture all the silos. There are...nine silos in all. If we can hit Black Onyx with all nine in under fifty minutes, we can destroy it. We absolutely can't let those missile silos fall into enemy hands!|Rachel|Advance Wars: Dual Strike}}</ref>
