Scrapped Ideas

(OOC: -Throws Overwatch Technology at the door and see what sticks.- Hey, its like this comes from a diffrent world! )

I just remembered more of my scrapped ideas.

The battle between Crexar and Radcliffe in Retribution was going to take place in the original Lysandre Labs, and they were going to be destroyed when the Labs were bombed by Rica. This was changed due to timeline contradictions.


Additionally, Eglor was going to escape with the MMSC blueprints, only for them to be taken from him by Lyrix. This was quickly scrapped, as it would've caused two major continuity problems:
1) If Eglor survived, he would've told the eagles of the oncoming war, and they would've been prepared for the Eagle Spire attack in the RP, and...
2) If Lyrix got the MMSC plans, that wouldn't make sense, as the lions don't have a MMSC in the RP.  


In the RP, halfway through 2018, Vamprah, Dr. Benjamin, and Braxin were going to be incinerated in the explosion of a fire chi powered staff (the one in Expedition of Exiles), which was going to occur in the Spider Caverns for some reason. 

Now that I think about it, the last one was just so I could smash a bunch of spiders.

I hate spiders.

Because they have bitten me many times in the past, and not in defense.

Retribution II Synopsis (continued)

When asked by Rica what that has to do with this, Lycor explains that it's very likely he will be appointed the next Lion King, since his uncle is the current Regent, his parents are on the Ruling Council, and Lycan has stated that he believes Lycor to be fit for the duty. Lycor explains to Rica that if she lets him and his men go and he becomes Lion King, he'll ally the Lions with the Ravens and Forgotten, since his mother Lyn has already prevented Lycan from starting a war on the Forgotten thus far. Rica agrees to the prospect, and lets Lycor go.

Soon after Lycor reports to Lycan about what happened with Radnar (excluding the part about getting caught by Rica, and his subsequent deal with her), Lyndis arrives at the Lion City that night, and meets with her brother. She questions his recent actions, including his declaration of war on The Forgotten. Annoyed at Lyn for preventing a battle between the Lions and Forgotten at the Croc Swamp, Lycan explains that he had captured Scorm in order to learn how the undead former king had become immortal, so that an immortal Lion King could be put into power, due to the recent disappearances of multiple kings. However, since it became clear that Scorm had no knowledge about his own resurrection, Lycan decided that there was a way he could still get use out of Scorm; he allowed Scordon Freeman to break Scorm out of Lion City, so that he could use this event to declare war on the Forgotten, whom he'd distrusted for a long time, due to their actions, and the fact that they surrounded the Lion Tribe on virtually every side. With Scordon having committed this war crime, Lycan had a valid reason in the eyes of the populace to declare war, and thus have the Chima Alliance eliminate the Forgotten threat. Lyn scolds her brother for his paranoia and his manipulative plan, but Lycan stands his ground, and tells Lyn that they can discuss the matter the next day.

However, later that night, the masked Erdrik impersonator himself infiltrates Lycan's bedroom, and assassinates the warmongering Lion Supreme Regent [since the Battle of the Phoenix Isles didn't occur in this timeline, leading Galvanor to do this instead], to prevent more wars between the tribes of Chima, so that they'll unite against his enemy, the Manta Ray Empire. Lycan's death (which had been setup by the Eagle King to look like it was caused by a heart attack) makes the news headlines the next day, and as the Lions grieve their temporary leader's passing, Lyrix, on the Isle of Neutrality, is distraught. Lyrix suspects his father's death to have been an assassination, and (knowing of the existence of the chi ghost concoctions thanks to Gibbs), after meeting with Lincoln—who consoles Lyrix for his loss, but still seems very cold and almost emotionless—sets out alone to the Gorilla Jungle, so he can summon Lycan's chi ghost to confirm the truth.

Retribution II synopsis (continued)

Leodus leaves the Vulture and Leopard armies with Vamprah in the Valley of Balance, so that the Vulture Lord can lead the Empire's planned surprise attack on the Icebears in Crystal Crater. On his way to the Frozen Tusk, however, Leodus is met in the air by Malgus II in a mammoth-copter. The two kings land their aircraft, and Malgus II explains that his father appears to have been broken out of his cell. Just then, the masked Eagle King arrives with the unconscious and chained Malgus in tow, and armed with a Fire Wing Harness. "Erdrik" explains that his tribe had found the harness soon after the Tribal Summit [again, having not been preoccupied with the battles of Eagle Spire and the Phoenix Isles in this timeline], and he'd ordered the discovery to be kept a secret. Readying for battle, Leodus and Malgus II scold the eagle for bringing the Fire Wings north, after what the Leopard King had explained about the Elemental Balance at the Tribal Summit, but "Erdrik" waves it off, stating that he "couldn't care less" if the tribes of Chima were destroyed, as long as he got justice on the Manta Ray Empire.

    The Eagle King boldly attacks both Leodus and Malgus II. During their duel, Leodus manages to knock Erdrik's battle mask off of his face, revealing his true identity, which Malgus II recognizes as Galvanor the gryphon. Malgus II explains that he and his father had found and revived the frozen gryphon when they'd reconstructed the Purple City, and that he'd flown off when the city was attacked by Senix. Galvanor sarcastically congratulates Leodus on unmasking him, and then strikes at the wizard with some sort of tranquilizing dart (the same thing he'd used on Malgus) that "saps" Leodus' inner chi, reducing his magic power, and knocking him unconscious. Galvanor then hypnotizes Malgus II, ordering him to return to his tribe, and to tell them that Malgus had escaped captivity, but was recaptured and relocated to Hunter Prison. Lastly, Galvanor orders Malgus II to contact Vamprah and tell him that Leodus is currently at the Frozen Tusk, meeting with him. The Mammoth King, brainwashed into obedience by the mysterious hypnotism, gets back in the copter and returns to the Frozen Tusk.

In the south, the news about Lyrix's pardon spreads quickly. Lyrix (at the edge of Gorilla Territory by now), while thankful to Lycor for this, comments that the Gorillas will probably still not let them take chi ghost concoctions, since Lyrix and the pirates had raided the area before, and since the Two Hooded Men were suspicious individuals. The group sneaks through the jungle, and they work to infiltrate the Chi Ghost Temple.

At the same time, Galvanor, back in his Erdrik facade, returns to his throne room and hides the two captured wizards before any eagles can see. There is one eagle there, though, and Galvanor speaks to the eagle about the progress of the "machine".
