Icebear: "Why should we care?! VICTORY OR DEATH!!"
The Icebears continue fighting with all they have. The Tigers, Forgotten, and Mammoths see a large force of blazing Stinger-Copters in the distance, coming from the southeast...
OOC: TheFirstDecade , this is now the reason why the Mammoths had left the city in my earlier post.
The Mammoths, having now all left the Purple City, warn the Tigers about the blazing attack helicopters coming toward the city.
IC: "Then you shall have death." *Titus grabs the fire chi chains.* "Don't even think about doing that trick to me." *Titus puts Senix in a Fire Blazer and jumps on behind the cockpit. The Fire Blazer roars off and the Tigers quit fighting the Icebears and follow. Once outside, many of the tigers mount speedors there. The tigers head toward where the mammoths were seen that warned them.*
Senix: "I was trying to get away from those insane radicals with the crowbars, but I accept my capture."
Senix looks back at the Forgotten vehicles giving chase.
Senix: "Even so, it looks like they're still after me."

-Forgotten still gaining whatever material wealth to pawn off in the cities take note of this leaving Fire Blazer, and quickly drop what they had to go pursue that Tiger. The prize to revive Senix...-
-Whatever Ice Hunter Civilian or Military POW’s they had, the Forgotten had this hive-mind going... they Quickly (without a commanding order) swap the ice-powering orbs that still kept their resurrected frozen bodies alive, with Fire Chi Orbs against their wills, forcibly “reviving” them before leaving them behind to their own fates, a major upset within the elemental Balance, all with Forgotten Abuse...-
-The Multi-racial fighting forces hop onto whatever vehicles they can salvage before pursuing that Fire Blazer!-
The 50 or so Stinger-Copters reach the skies above the city.
Rogue scorpion pilot from Crystal Crater: "Let's finish this! With the destruction of their city, the first part of our people's revenge on the Icebears will be complete!!"
The scorpion pilots cheer as they follow him over the Purple City, dropping their payloads of fiery bombs onto the city in a brutal bombardment, leaving no Icebears standing. As buildings blast apart and collapse, all of the icebears here, purified or otherwise, are destroyed by the scorpions' bombardment, as the vengeful arachnids pursue and shoot down any icebears who escape the city...

IC: *The Fire Blazer stops while Titus turns around and roars, stopping the Forgotten in their tracks.* "Do you wish to be smashed? Because you will be if you try to take a prisoner of the Tiger tribe."

-Well woopdedoo, they might be heading a beeline to go sack Tiger HQ and Tigré city as we speak!-
IC: *Titus looks confused.* "That was a lot easier than I thought it would be." *The Fire Blazer starts up again and heads to where the mammoths are. Titus finds Malgus II while the tigers mull about.* "Senix is captured. I left him well guarded. I'm not sure which of our tribes should keep him. I personally have no interest in keeping him, but i wasn't around back when Tenebrae ruled. I also don't know the history of the Tiger tribe that well, from reading books, or hearing stories, or anything like that. Torque is a historian, so he might know what Senix' punishment would be from the Tigers. What do you and your father think?"

Malgus II (is looking at the ruins of the Purple City): "Hm? Oh, right. I think my father wants him eliminated, but it's pretty hard to slay an Ice Hunter. Maybe your old king, Tristram, would want to capture Senix. Tenebrae was overthrown by Tristram's father, Telekar, after all. Although Tristram went missing, I've heard."

Far from the Purple City, in the southeast Arctic, Malgus intercepts Lyrix as the newly transformed ice lion is running wildly through the snow.
Malgus: "This is an unexpected result, but I shall keep my end of the deal."
Malgus jumps in front of the white lion, and with streams of light coming from Lyrix's head, absorbs the lion's memories.
Malgus: "Now his memories are in my mind. I can finally visualize the Artifact close-up in my mind's eye... so now I can see the exact location of the Fire Wing Harness that Senix destroyed in the Northern Outland Mountains. Excellent!"
Lyrix (wakes up on the ground): "Wh—what? Where am I? ...Who am I??"
Malgus: "Your name is Laxor. You are a member of Chima's white lion species, a hybrid of a lion and sabertooth. I am Malgus, King of the North. You've been a humble and trusted follower of me for your entire life, but you're suffering from amnesia, after sustaining a head injury while on a mission to Saber Mountain for me. Luckily, I rescued you in time."
Malgus: "Like I said, you sustained severe amnesia, and forgot everything that happened in your life. I'll fill you in on it during our journey, as you accompany me on this next mission."
Malgus and "Laxor" set off on foot, heading east.
On their journey east, Malgus and his henchman climb through the Ice Mountains which divide the Arctic (above the inland) from the Northern Outland Mountains (above the Outlands).
Laxor: "I don't know about you, but this tires me. Why don't we take a vehicle on our journey? Your tribe surely has vehicles, does it not?"
Malgus: "Even our Ice Mammoth Stompers aren't able to effectively walk over the treacherous Northern Outland Mountains, and we won't use a Mammoth copter, because my son will need all the vehicles at his disposal if he is to take back or destroy the Purple City, preferably the former. Him stopping Senix is just as important as us getting to the Fire Wing Harness before him."
Laxor: "You act like these hot wings are important, but what use can we get out of them if Senix already destroyed their harness?"
Malgus: "I can reforge it easily... and reforge it to fit me, of course."
Laxor: "What d'you need the fire harness for?"
Malgus: "There is a prophecy, which foretells that one wizard will gain the powers of both fire and ice, becoming the Elemental Wizard, the most powerful in Chima. There are currently only three known wizards in Chima including me, and I was the first. I've aspired to become the Elemental Wizard ever since I learned about the prophecy. Besides, using one of the Phoenix' Fire Wing Harnesses while we Mammoths enact our revenge on that tribe will be splendidly ironic."

(OOC: I dunno where Tristram was last time, but eh, why not pass up on the opera? ) -Well, missing might be an understatement, a black cat was roaming around these parts, he’d taken note of the destroyed Purple City, and something in his head made him feel very happy Bout it...-
-Well, it’s been a while since we last saw him, and he’s wearing a Forgotten-issued Armor-vesting over his black clothing, and is seen weilding a Forgotten-issued OIChiW (the same weapon Rica weilds in her refrence i made of her.) and a crowbar is seen attached to a bandoleer alongside an small sack for orbs of chi and ammo cartridges. And a sheath and the same weapon given to him by that Spider guy he met...-
-There was no forgotten signage on his person, so me may have just raided one of their many numerous Lambda caches in the local area...-

Senix, on his knees with his arms chained behind his back, sees Pantharez.
Senix: "Eh? Who's that dark feline? Do you Tigers know him?"

Senix: "Eh? Who's that dark feline? Do you Tigers know him?"
OOC: Okay, it's been about 2 weeks now.
IC: While the Mammoths and Tigers are perhaps distracted looking at Pantharez, the other two of Senix' most loyal icebears (not Ike and Iceslash) suddenly attack, breaking Senix out of his chains with their saw blade weapons. The icebears are shot down by the Mammoths (some of whom grabbed fire chi blasters out of the Tigers' hands when this happened) while they cover Senix's escape; Senix disappears in the snowy mist.
