The yellow snake looks at the Snake City and back at the Owl airships.
Saleem: "Perhaps we can still... salvage this."
In their lone helicopter, Saleem and Fulcrum fly into the city, landing on the main pyramid's landing pad.
OOC: TheFirstDecade , i'm gonna make an owl king, but he'll be in the shadows for now. So that there's an owl king and queen.
IC: *Otto looks over the burning city and shakes his head. He sends a small helicopter with a commander (rank under airship captain) down to the landing pad. It drops the commander a few soldiers off if there's no room for it to land.*
OOC: Shoot, I'd forgot about this quote chain yet again.
IC: The Owls hear the regrouped Snakes murmuring, and Saleem can be heard finishing a speech. The yellow rattlesnake and Fulcrum go back through this floor of the pyramid from the balcony they'd been on, and awkwardly meet the arrivals.
Saleem: "Greetings, Owls. I know we were fighting not long ago, however I'll reiterate what I just told the Snakes; that their Queen abandoned them, and their allies. She appears to have slithered away into a secret underground tunnel built below her throne."
Saleem looks at the crashed helicopters scattered on the streets and sticking out of the sides of buildings.
Saleem: "If you're wondering, I didn't do this to the city. The last thing I wanted was for harm to come to snake citizens. My intent was to seize the Queen, before I knew that she fled anyway. My army was betrayed and sabotaged by a former ally of mine."
Tyron: "Hm... I don't recall ever meeting a snake by that name, no. Wait a minute... Ah, I see now. Saleem is the one who revived Pirex, and later Piratox."

Saleem: "...Very well. I have shown the Snakes that I will not abandon them, unlike their coward Queen."
Fulcrum: "What, that's it?? You're just going to turn us in now?!"
Saleem: "We don't have much of a choice, do we? All we can do now is let the Snakes decide who they want to lead them, whether they liberate me from the Owls, or choose a different leader. For you see, I've realized that I don't need to be their leader in order for my principles to be implemented into the tribe. The Queen actually helped me by abandoning her people; with their monarch gone, the Snakes know that they must take it into their own hands to elect a new leader. And if she does return, she certainly won't be met by a warm welcome..."
Fulcrum: "Well good for the Snakes, I guess, but that wasn't the plan! You were supposed to take over the Snake Tribe, and then use it to put me on the Flygon throne!"
Saleem: "And Othaurus was to be put in place as the leader of the Octopuses in the same way; that plan clearly didn't work, due to unforeseen events. The Snakes aren't a tool to be used, Fulcrum. They are my people. This day, even if it didn't work out exactly as we intended, is still the culmination of the failure of a monarchy for the Snake Tribe. I will gladly sacrifice my freedom for theirs; it's the law of equivalent exchange. I'm simply looking at the bigger picture now."
Fulcrum: "Well I'm thinking about the 'bigger picture' too, when I say I don't want to rot in an Owl prison!"
The flygon grabs a ball from his belt and throws it on the ground. Dust and smoke erupt like a miniature sandstorm, clouding the area. When it clears, Fulcrum is gone.
Saleem: "I <cough> should've know he <cough> lacked honor. Well, let him <cough> follow in the footsteps of the Queen, then. He has shown how insignificant he truly is... a nobody who only cared about getting his name in history books, I suppose."
IC: "Okay, so did he call Pirex back somehow in that beam of light, and where did the light beams go anyway?"
Tyron: "Now that I don't know. They seemed to be pointing south, though."
IC: "I think we need to find out why those orange beams of light went south, and what happened to make orange beams of light take anyone revived by Saleem."
OOC: I think i lost a little of Ppyrr's personality in the lost post. Oh well.
IC: "That may be, but you still indirectly caused it, and the Queen of the Snakes is still our ally. We're gonna need you to come with us. We can make this formal if need be."

IC: *The snakes and Saleem board the helicopter and are taken to the airship with Otto, the Queen, and the King. Saleem is brought before Otto.* "Such destruction is shameful. I saw the beams, that didn't seem like it was your intention. I ask, why not have a backup plan to prevent this destruction in case of the... mindless brutes being controlled by anyone else?"
Saleem: "...Very well. I have shown the Snakes that I will not abandon them, unlike their coward Queen."

Saleem: "I thought it was impossible for something like this to happen, since I was the one who created and fully controlled the zombies. I never would've guessed that the comparatively small contribution Othaurus made to the formula would have... an ingredient, I suppose, to turn the zombies into some sort of... fuel?"
The yellow snake paces, slithering back and forth.
Saleem: "They were converted into energy beams and then sent somewhere south... Othaurus hasn't made a move to take over the Octopuses since then, so it seems he had a completely different motive all along. And that motive was to awaken the Dragons, as he told me in our very last conversation."
Tyron: "Now that I don't know. They seemed to be pointing south, though."
IC: "I think we need to find out why those orange beams of light went south, and what happened to make orange beams of light take anyone revived by Saleem."
OOC: I think i lost a little of Ppyrr's personality in the lost post. Oh well.
Typhoon: "Agreed."
Tyron: "You should set off now, then, since we have vehicles amassed and both our armies are at least close to full strength. Our two tribes seem like the most well-equipped right now to face any potential threat from the south. I, on the other hand, will return to the Turtle City for the time being."

Meanwhile, the Snow Leopards set up the Ice Trials for Pedro to complete, while Leonardo and his guards hurry down through the Glacial Pass on speedorz to reach the Turtles and Piranhas.
(OOC: Aaaaahhhh, whats been going on so far? I've been MAJORLY out of the look for a long time, man! The J @batonmaster500how has it been?)
OOC: Welcome back! This is what happened while you were gone:
Leonardo remembered Rezhizula, who Kyuru had come to the Snow Leopard Castle to warn him about, as he left the castle.
As the Dragons began their flight north to Cavora, Othaurus and a group of cats who allied with the tribe were assigned to go with Reshizula to Kastle Koldheart.
Saleem and the one living soldier under his command, Fulcrum, flew down to the Snake HQ in their remaining helicopter, after the zombie army had been hijacked by Othaurus to free the Dragons. There, Saleem gave a charismatic speech to the Snakes, telling them they should elect leaders henceforth, since their Queen abandoned them. The Owls arrived to capture Saleem, and he surrendered, knowing that his goal to turn the Snake Tribe into a democracy had technically been realized, despite obvious last-minute changes to the plan. Fulcrum, however, angered that Saleem was "giving up", and not putting him on the Flygon throne as originally planned, ran away in a smoke cover to escape capture. Saleem went with the Owls to their airship, where he explained what Othaurus had told him on the radio, about awakening the Dragons.
The Turtles and Piranhas, having formed a truce for the duration of their investigation into the zombies' sacrifice, pieced together Saleem's involvement with Pirex and the other zombies. Leonardo then made his way down the Glacial Pass to tell the two tribes about the Dragons, as Pedro, in Snow Leopard HQ, prepared to earn ice chi for the Piranhas.
(OOC: Man been a while hasn't it?) -Kyuru nervously fidgets around in her slow self indeed.-
Kyuru: "plllleeeeeeaaaassssseeee... iiiiiiimmmmmmmmmm iiiiinnnnnnnn... -inhales- ...vvvveeeerrrrryyyyy... grrrrrraaaaaaavvvveeeeee daaaaaaaannnnngeeeeeeerrrr..." -she'd shuddered out in fear... knowing a specific woman is after her. Kastle Koldheart is in grave danger as well with this threat-
"...iiiiiiimmmmmmmm... -inhales- ...ssssssoooooooo ffffeeeaaaaarrrfffuuuuulllll... -inhales- ...iiiiiii thhhhooouuuught.... -inhales- ...sssshhheeee wwwwooouullld sssstaaaaaayyyy... -inhales- ...iiiimmmprrriiiissssooonneeed...." -whomever this "she" is, would easily need to be found out in a sense. Hopefully, she would have an active guard sent back to Kastle Koldheart.soon.-
Leonardo: "I'm guessing you're referring to that adopted daughter of Drakonus?"
The Snow Leopard King walks down the stairs into the entrance hall, in his full gold and silver battle armor.
Leonardo: "She was the same kind of being as you, right? I remember."
-The large Kyurem woman slowly nodded and her eyes looked still fearful-
Kyuru: "Ssssshhhhhheeeeee wwwwwaaaaaaassssssss ooooonnnneeeeccccceee... -inhales- ...ooooonnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee wwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiittthhhhh mmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaatt... -inhales- ...ooooooonnnnneeeeeeeeeee pooooooooooooooiiiiiinnnnntt...." -she'd droned out before giving out an impained inhale and shudders-
Kyuru: "...Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii hhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaavvvveeeeeee.... -inhales- ...tthhhhheeeeeeee oooooobjjjjjeeeeeeeeeeeccctt sssshhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeee'ssssssss... -inhales- ...lllllooooooooooookkiiiiiiiinnnnnng fffffffffooooooorrrrrrrr....." -she'd say, reaching into her busom and soon pulling out an odd artifact that was foreign to Leonardo, but known to Kyuru, an object that she dreads ever using herself, or it being used on herself, pictured below, the DNA Splicer, the object used to fuse Kyurem with either Reshiram or Zekrom-
Kyuru: "...Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii doooooooooonnnnnnnnn't... -inhales- ...trrrrruuuussssssssssssssssst mmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyssssssseeeeeeelllllffffff... -Inhales- ... toooooooooooo keeeeeeeeeeeeeep iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... -inhales- ...aaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy ffffffffrrrrrrrooooooooooommmmm... -inhales- ...Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...." -she'd say, slowly moving her large icy hand to you, as if bestowing such a sacred relic for you to protect-
@electricsunset1217 , question. Are you done with your characters and the roleplay here (aside from being inactive, which i completely understand), or did you just ditch the particular storyline of Sven, Decade's salmonid?
Well, considering how much i am developing these salmonids of my own, as a separate creation off the RP, i guess i can use whatever i have made of them so far for this RP i guess.
