OOC: What fingers? Othaurus is driving the tank she's in.
IC: Othaurus: "Alright then, full speed ahead, all tanks! Launch those Fafnirs as well!"
As the tanks charge toward the castle, firing at the walls, dragon mechs are launched from the backs of some tanks. The silver dragons and their pilots get to the walls faster than the tanks in Reshizula's force, running on all fours fluidly with curdling mechanical roars. Even as the enemy fires on them, their fire chi prevents the Fafnirs from being frozen as they slash at the wall, clawing through the metal and ice little by little.
(OOC: Thought she was driving her Vast White-Fur Dragon Mech herself. Huh... )
-Soon Reshizula gets impatient and suddenly reaches over him, pushing against as she leans in to grab at the controls Otharus was handling-
Reshizula: "You meddling cephalopod! Lemme get this over with, I wanna confront Kyuru NOW!!!" she'd bark out, suddenly rushing the Vast WhiteFur Mech forward, it bounding and leaping over the fafnirs and other dragon vehicles, casually crushing some icy ghostly spirits as they shatter under the padded feet of the Mech and soon gave a super-powered LEAP up!!-
-Ice Cannons were blasting furiously at the leaping reshiram-themed dragon mech, their shots fizziling and steaming out around the mech's form, doing nothing to it. The mech precariously lands on the thin walls and battlements and suddenly slips as it tries to bound forward and smash into the colored icy glass mural of what looks like Kyuru's trainer. The floor giving weigh to add another problem! The Mech takes the fall and Reshizula, taking this slip-up as no for an answer, soon grabs her weapons and soon LEAPS from out of the mech's open top!-
"Sorry, baby! Stick the landing why don't you?!" -she'd say with a chuckle, before soon using Blue Flare, her signature move, upon the glass mural. The wall melts and weakens and soon the Reshiram woman slams herself right through the glass, crashing down below to the icy throne-room below. She lands in the chi-pool and immediately whips herself around, her DNA-Splicer dagger pointing forward, her with a face of anticipation before gasping and realizing... Kyuru wasn't at her throne-
-The reshiram jumps out of the chi-pool and scans the room looking around, fury welling up in her as the missing of her sister distressed and stroked her rage, However her intrusion doesn't go unnoticed, she was seen by a rather diligent Gick Gumshoos and the large bumbling Gumshoos squeaks and goes bounding on all fours to go find Aurelie and her party, as well as to alert the rest of the trainer's sages and the rest of the guardsmen-

OOC: Oh, right. Also, wow, this escalated quickly. Guess the ice castle's defenders were no match for the Dragons' assault.
IC: Right after Reshizula's mech crashes through the stained glass, Othaurus opens the mech's hatch and leaps out, shooting a grapple hook out of a gauntlet on his wrist. It wraps around a wood plank up near the ceiling, and he grabs on. The octopus looks down as the mech crashes.
Othaurus: "I guess that's what impatience gets you. Hopefully Reshizula herself didn't sustain any serious-- Ah yes, there she is."
Othaurus retracts the grapple line and falls, landing on his feet atop the downed mech and looking toward the throne. He shrugs and shakes his head.
Othaurus: "Looks like your other half is late to the party, princess."
He sees the Gumshoos out of the corner of his eye just as Gick disappears into the hall.
Othaurus grabs the hilt of his sword as he calls to Reshizula: "I know you're clearly distraught right now, but I'd advise you to prepare for battle; enemy reinforcements are on their way, and the rest of our force is still fighting outside."
IC: *Smaug, Orion, and the rest of the cats climb out of the mech, slightly dazed. They take in their surroundings, and look for a pathway (hallway, door, etc).*
OOC: Just because they rule the air, doesn't mean they can be everywhere at once. =P They just have superior air support. Heheh. Alright, what would the port be like? How to make it not dangerous for owls to be on ground? Or somehow in the air with also being able to be a port for sea ships.
(OOC: Think of a building with a large concrete base that goes down into the ground. The concrete base of a marina or seaport usually goes into the ground and into the sea bed with the water adjacent to it. Think of it as this offset oil derrick, only on land. You'll only see the platform and some of the legs above water, but below it's a WHOLE different story.)
OOC: That... still keeps it on ground-level where owls are more vulnerable to attack than the air.. oh well, i guess it's defended by steampunk-style turrets and guards or something.
(OOC: Rayquaza and Palkia are different pokemon, and it was Palkia AND Ultra Necrozma's clashing that caused dimensional shifts to send pokemon here to Chima)
Deathstrike: "Don't doubt the Drakonida cannon's power young Fulcrum...! or should i say FlyGroum...?" -he'd smile with a sly look on his face, Flygazili snickering, the cannon's charge was around 90% done already, seems the FLA had increased it's efficiency at building it's charge! Fulcrum could see the cannon charge meter nearing it's full ready-to-fire capacity-
Flygazili: "Well whomever this octopus or snake is, they ought to be held accountable for what they have unleashed upon chima then! You think we should send a bounty for those two, Flygroum?" -strange... both are mentioning to him with a different name... perhaps they probably met somewhere in their lives but memory is foggy for FUlcrum...?-
(OOC: ALSO, Jgread, you got an post to respond to as Owlina did give Saleem a question somewhere. look back in the history to find it, it went under your radar.)
OOC: Right.
IC: Drakonus: "Yep, that ship definitely looks like something those aliens would construct. It has their aesthetic. I suppose I'll have to deal with both the Flygons and Snow Leopards before I... mediate the quarrel between those two. Full speed ahead! Let's get to Cavora as fast as we can. They'll pursue us, but it looks like we're both packing serious firepower; they wouldn't want to risk accidentally destroying the life-giving mountain, would they?"
***
Fulcrum: "Hmph. The FLA was keeping tabs on Saleem's group, weren't you? I guess my code name is pointless now, though I have come to like it more than my original name anyway. Oh, you needn't bother with Saleem. He showed himself to be a defeatist, and allowed the Owls to imprison him. He'd already destroyed the potion used to revive the fallen, if that's what you're wondering. Othaurus, on the other hand, is the one who'd been playing us both. We should definitely capture him to get some answers."
As we said, we can give you answers.
Fulcrum: "Those voices again! Hey, did you two hear that??"
OOC: Your choice whether they heard the unknown beings' voices or not, either way works.
No sooner had the Dragons arrived above Cavora, however, than they found an army inhabiting the mountain, atop, inside, and around both the floating and grounded parts.
Drakonus: "What in Chima... Those things look like zombies! But how...? Hmm, they must not have been part of the group Othaurus created for the ritual. Well, whatever faction this is, they've dug their own grave. There isn't even an option for negotiation in this case; any undead beings are inherently too powerful to be allowed to exist, not to mention unnatural. They must be cleansed if the way of nature is to be restored."
On Drakonus' orders, the Dragons begin surrounding Cavora, and start their attack on the Fennec Army...
OOC: To be continued in Book 2 of "Quest". As such, the main Dragon Tribe will be "taking a break" from the RP for a short while, however anyone who wants to roleplay as a dragon or Dragon-aligned character during this period can do so via Reshizula's portion of the tribe at Kastle Koldheart.
(OOC: Think of a building with a large concrete base that goes down into the ground.

OOC: That... still keeps it on ground-level where owls are more vulnerable to attack than the air.. oh well, i guess it's defended by steampunk-style turrets and guards or something.
(OOC: Isn't that what Eagle Spire actually is? a big city suspended by concrete/rock poles that just into the sky? )
(OOC: I think i was overexxagerating it a bit. Also, i think i just got it that the Zombie Flygons were used to reawaken the dragons becuase said zombie flygons were LIKE the chimian dragons, and thus their power was used to help free them! And yeah, she did mistake Saleem for an FLA agent since he was so out there to his tribe.)
-The Snake queen nodded and looked towards her recovering men-
Sa'Qhala: "I hope we won't be too much of a bother for your people, we may get to connect better even if it's been decades since out last true contacts. Maybe i can help occur a treaty between our two tribes, maybe add your people to our desert alliance if possible. Of course i'd need to meet your leader. And before you reassure your claims of imposterisim, a con-artist trying to play me wouldn't get very far in my eyes..." -she'd smirked and glanced at her own body being reflected in a mirror- "...he or she wouldn't be able to match her highness proportion's quite well~..." -she'd giggled before looking back to the turtle commander-
"I must thank you for giving me and my men refuge, we assure you we'll enjoy our amenitys given to us." -she'd bowed to him before slithering away under a guard of turtles, Skalidor and Fangtom following close by her-
OOC: Well, it was more that the Dragons could only be released from the Snow Leopards' imprisonment by having "unnaturally alive" beings sacrificed, but your idea actually makes a lot more sense, so I'll go with that, and say that Pirex just got his soul launched out when his body was pulled in.
IC: The turtles lead the snakes to living quarters in the base, as the Commander contacts the Snake Tribe over the radio. He is greeted by the voice of a former royal retainer in the central pyramid, who bluntly tells him that the Queen escaped from the HQ with no one but Generals Fangtom and Skalidor. The Commander thanks the snake, and quickly hangs up before the snake can ask him if he knows the Queen's whereabouts.
Turtle Commander: "Well then... I guess you three are the real deal."
(OOC: Reminds me of Mace Windu getting kicked out of a window. Poor Sam Jackson. )
-Sa'qhala nodded and chuckled warmly-
Sa'Qhala: "No other woman matches my beauty in the desert, isn't it great to be a young royal?" -she'd snickered, (i dunno what age i had put her at previously before), that turtle not knowing she may be as old as him, prolly 100+ years old-
Fangtom: "If anything, i-" "-Bet we need to gather-" "-many allied tribes of-" "-Chima and help retake-" "-Our kingdom back!" -his heads said in sequence, both nodding in emphasis in the last line-
Skalidor: "I'd personally love to see what the queen can do to our traitorus Skales and Acidicus... you do prolly know the name of those two FLA generals, right?"
Sa'Qhala: "Hopefully my freinds of the desert will come together and help sour our our issue and drive away the FLA for good... but it's been a while since i heard news of Chima... whats been going on in the land lately?"
-Deathstrike and FlyGazili growled and knew their window to attack was lost. Flygazili casually angrily yelling and swearing in the flygon's native tongue of Alkhitab of why his cockpit seat didn't have the controls to directly fire the Drakonida Cannon. Deathstrike giving Fulcrum an angry glare-
Deathstrike: "I wasn't going to fall for their tricks, and you didn't fire the cannon like i told you?! What kinda impasse is this we're at?!" -he'd roared out before a siren began to wail in both of their cockpits-
FlyGazili: "U-uh... i-i th-think we're holding the charge too long--"
Deathstrike: "GAH!! T-TURN IT OFF, SH-SHUT IT DOWN--"
-The glow of the Drakonida's ball of energy began sparking out of control soon instantly short-circuiting the X-Quaza, shutting down it's engines and soon the plane begins going into a dive after it's charge fizzles out quickly in a flash of emerald and white-colored sparkles.-
Deathstrike and Flygazili: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, FULCRRRUUUUUUUMMM~~!!!" -they both screamed comedically-
Come, Fulcrum! Come to the south and seek us out! Wouldn't you agree that's the best option?
Fulcrum snarls and leaps out of his seat, grabbing the lever to the cockpit's emergency exit door. He wrenches it open and flies out, buzzing away from the falling X-Quaza.
-Fulcrum could see the X-Quaza barreling down the ground, but miraculously with the expert piloting of both FlyGazili and Deathstrike, they managed to land the plane, but knowing of the damage done to the Drakonida Cannon it may be irreparable.-
Deathstrike: "That fool, flying off in our moment of glory!" -he'd whined out, slamming his face into the console and making an distressed emotional flygon cry-
Flygazili: "We'll hopefully run into him again, soon Deathstrike..."
-Whatever, just keep flying and hopefully those two nutballs won't get back to ya.-
Concealed within the heart of the castle, Aurelie shoots awake, yanks the blanket she's been nestled in from her head and looks around. Her face falls from panic to utter disappointment when she sees everyone else sound asleep- "Why is it only ever me that hears anything?" she mutters to herself. "I get that I'm an Audino but...how are you guys incapable of hearing...that was loud!" She shakes the others awake. "Guys, wake up, I heard something."
"Lemme guess, you heard the ice chip slightly and you're concerned the castle will break down," Todd mutters groggily.
"No. No, no, that's not it at all! I heard voices!"
"From far away?" Adam asks.
"No. In here. Inside the castle. Someone's coming for Kyuru and like...probably us too so we should do something."
Allen shakes himself awake and suddenly grins in a determined fashion. "It's OK. We'll be ready when they come!"
"How do you know that?" Todd replies. "We haven't done an ounce of training."
"We're surrounded by ice, right? Kyuru's greatest enemy is a Dragon type! If I can evolve into a Glaceon..."
"...she'll melt you before you can take a step," Todd replies. "Her greatest enemy is a Reshiram, Allen."
"And?"
"Reshiram's a Fire-type," Aurelie clarifies. "Also, I dunno really cause my species doesn't evolve, but I don't think evolving is quite that simple..."
"...Oh. Uh..."
"Todd and I are Grass-types," Adam replies, "so we don't stand a ghost of a chance. Aurelie, you can Mega Evolve into a Fairy-type, no?"
Aurelie shakes her head. "Fire cancels out the weakness and who knows what type of defense this lady has. I don't exactly hit like a Speedor, you know..."
"You sure know a lot about types," Adam compliments her. "You're a pretty smart cookie."
"Well, I...read a lot, I suppose..." Aurelie tugs sheepishly on a feeler, and if she wasn't already pink, Aurelie would be turning such a color.
-Most Likely the Audino and her crew must've heard the crashing sound and thud of Reshizula landing in the throne-room of the Kastle. Suddenly to their surprise, the large stocky Gumshoos of Gick came throwing the doors open to their room all with a look of alarm on his face-
Gick: "UH, GUYS, WE GOTTA PROBLEEEEEMMM~!!!" -he'd roared out before suddenly racing around Aurelie and begins pushing her forward and out of the room, the rest of her team hastily following them in the panick to see whats going on-
Gick: "Oh man oh man oh man... DUDE... Y-you gotta protect us, you're the only fairy type aside from my Primarina friend that can defeat this crazy Reshiram Woman to busted down Kyuru's icy mural-facade-window-thing in her throne room, and that vast-white-pokemon doesn't look too FRIENDLY!!"
-Luckily for the rest of the trainers sages (except two because Sir Arano and Vic Vektor are busy chasing down the Demiurge to go see what the ship is all about out of curiosity, another thing to add to this crazy raid happening on Kastle Koldheart and the events of the Demiurge-
Malvasia: "We're here! We're here, Gick! Is that Reshiram still in the throne room?!"
Miliani: "At least i have the type advantage on this woman, but now that i think that a Reshiram is suddenly here--"
Gick: "YES, IT'S STILL THERE, AND IT'S OUR TRAINER'S BROTHER'S RESHIRAM!!!' -He'd roared out to answer the Primarina's and Serperior's Question-
-Meanwhile just before the group of pokemon entered the Throne room, Reshizula snarled and looked around her, not best pleased that her sister's hiding. The large towering giant of a dragon woman soon angrily let out a roar of her pokemon cry, it echoing far and wide outside the castle for all to see, maybe even across chima. Such a cool-sounding Pokemon cry it was, foreign to all tribes that hear it. Soon the Reshiram woman threw herself around and soon BLASTED another Blue Flare attack down the hall where the group of Pokemon was charging forth to apprehend the Reshiram-
Gick, Malvasia, and Miliani: "OH ARCEUS, DUUUUUCK!!"
-And comedically, everyone did as the blaze of furiously hot blue flames rushed over everyone, all with clenched up faces of fear and pain-
Saleem: "Boy? I certainly haven't been called that in some time. Oh, but where are my manners? I am Saleem al-Yousif, Your Highness. I'm actually an alchemist from the southeast desert, near the rain forest."
-Owlina huffs and her feathers frill out a bit- "You do realize the troubles your powers of alchemy and magic have given to all of Chima, yes...? Releasing the Dragons that have been locked up for so long...? I must ask, who were your associates to this terrible incident occurring...?" -she'd said, her voice going a more grim tone for the last sentence.-
OOC: Well, it was more that the Dragons could only be released from the Snow Leopards' imprisonment by having "unnaturally alive" beings sacrificed, but your idea actually makes a lot more sense, so I'll go with that, and say that Pirex just got his soul launched out when his body was pulled in.

OOC: Me trying not to make a "he fell out the Windu" joke.
IC: Turtle Commander: "With all due respect, are you sure your people will accept you back? The snake on the radio said you three abandoned the tribe during the battle. I don't know if the Turtles will be able to assist you in fighting the FLA, for political reasons; you see, I've received word of a ceasefire between the Turtles and Piranhas, and the FLA had been present at that battle before retreating. The war is effectively over, however if the Turtles fight the FLA henceforth, it could break the truce in the blink of an eye, since the FLA are allies of the Piranhas. Believe me, I know it's an insufferable circumstance, especially since the FLA is not a legitimate tribe, but that's politics for you."
Come, Fulcrum! Come to the south and seek us out! Wouldn't you agree that's the best option?
Fulcrum snarls and leaps out of his seat, grabbing the lever to the cockpit's emergency exit door. He wrenches it open and flies out, buzzing away from the falling X-Quaza.

Flygazili: "We'll hopefully run into him again, soon Deathstrike..."
-Whatever, just keep flying and hopefully those two nutballs won't get back to ya.-
OOC: Ah yes. Spiraling on a crash course toward the ground = moment of glory.
-Owlina huffs and her feathers frill out a bit- "You do realize the troubles your powers of alchemy and magic have given to all of Chima, yes...? Releasing the Dragons that have been locked up for so long...? I must ask, who were your associates to this terrible incident occurring...?" -she'd said, her voice going a more grim tone for the last sentence.-
Saleem: "The young man who manipulated me into inadvertently releasing the Dragons was an octopus named Othaurus. I have no idea where he is now though. My guess would be somewhere with the Dragon Tribe, and I imagine they'd be hard to miss."
OOC: That... still keeps it on ground-level where owls are more vulnerable to attack than the air.. oh well, i guess it's defended by steampunk-style turrets and guards or something.
(OOC: Isn't that what Eagle Spire actually is? a big city suspended by concrete/rock poles that just into the sky? )
OOC: I think i misunderstood. I thought you were saying it was on the ground going into the ground. I didn't realize it was going into the ground then jutting up miles into the air, where the actual city was in the air (I also thought maybe you were saying the city was underground). My bad.

(OOC: Thought she was driving her Vast White-Fur Dragon Mech herself. Huh... )
-Soon Reshizula gets impatient and suddenly reaches over him, pushing against as she leans in to grab at the controls Otharus was handling-
Reshizula: "You meddling cephalopod! Lemme get this over with, I wanna confront Kyuru NOW!!!" she'd bark out, suddenly rushing the Vast WhiteFur Mech forward, it bounding and leaping over the fafnirs and other dragon vehicles, casually crushing some icy ghostly spirits as they shatter under the padded feet of the Mech and soon gave a super-powered LEAP up!!-
-Ice Cannons were blasting furiously at the leaping reshiram-themed dragon mech, their shots fizziling and steaming out around the mech's form, doing nothing to it. The mech precariously lands on the thin walls and battlements and suddenly slips as it tries to bound forward and smash into the colored icy glass mural of what looks like Kyuru's trainer. The floor giving weigh to add another problem! The Mech takes the fall and Reshizula, taking this slip-up as no for an answer, soon grabs her weapons and soon LEAPS from out of the mech's open top!-
"Sorry, baby! Stick the landing why don't you?!" -she'd say with a chuckle, before soon using Blue Flare, her signature move, upon the glass mural. The wall melts and weakens and soon the Reshiram woman slams herself right through the glass, crashing down below to the icy throne-room below. She lands in the chi-pool and immediately whips herself around, her DNA-Splicer dagger pointing forward, her with a face of anticipation before gasping and realizing... Kyuru wasn't at her throne-
-The reshiram jumps out of the chi-pool and scans the room looking around, fury welling up in her as the missing of her sister distressed and stroked her rage, However her intrusion doesn't go unnoticed, she was seen by a rather diligent Gick Gumshoos and the large bumbling Gumshoos squeaks and goes bounding on all fours to go find Aurelie and her party, as well as to alert the rest of the trainer's sages and the rest of the guardsmen-

i'm not sure quite how interested i still am in the splatoon timeline, but yes, i've been inactive
Alright. Oh wait, are you just not interested because of the Salmonid lore. Cause you do realize I currently have command of the Inkling tribe and whatever timeline you would want for the Inklings themselves, you could decide and I would go with it? If you aren't interested in it though, that's completely fine, I was just wonderin.
