Origin Story A relatively long time ago, King Bliston sent Grand Admiral Balthazar and the Bat Fleet to explore the West Sea past Bat Island. On his travels, Balthazar discovered a large tropical island far from Chima's continent, much larger and more rich in resources than Bat Island. Later, after Balthazar's campaign in the Crawler—Ice Hunter War ended and both Black Fang Mountain and Bat Island were frozen, the remaining ships of the Bat Fleet went to this large island they'd discovered, where they set up a colony while King Bliston and the other bats were rescued from the Ice Hunters. Now, King Bliston and the rest of the Bat Tribe have come to this island, and named it New Bat Island, replacing Black Fang Mountain as the headquarters of the Bat Tribe. Although it may appear to other tribes that the bats are abandoning the mainland in wake of the Ice Hunters' invasion, Bliston and his tribe have an ulterior motive for this migration...
Island Layout New Bat Island is roughly about ten times larger than the original Bat Island, which is 12 miles wide. The island is almost entirely covered in trees, though the palm trees are closer to the edge of the island's perimeter, while pine trees dwell farther in. There are mountains of varying sizes scattered around the forested island, and a chi spring in the center of the landmass. There is a much smaller island a mile south of New Bat Island, which the multispecies faction called the Forgotten has claimed as their HQ, and named Scorden Island.

At the newly-constructed dock, the Naval Bats cheer as Bliston and the others appear over the horizon. The two groups of bats begin mining for resources and constructing buildings and defenses almost immediately after reuniting with each other. With almost the entire Bat population working, progress is swift. Bliston sends his raven ward Rex and some bats back to the mainland to establish an embassy.

The main castle and city in the center of the island grows quickly, and Bliston names it Balthazar City, after the late Grand Admiral and friend who discovered this island. A large science lab is built in the east of the city; it is the main research center and factory for Dr. Benjamin and the other scientists and engineers.
-From the misty shores and skies, a lone bat wing striker comes flying into distance slowly but surely, it was carrying two very familiar faces if one were to see them through a telescope or binoculars: the former Bat Commander, being Barney, and... Bliston’s Sister, Bratta as well?!-
-Barney looked very weary, his cream-colored fur dirtied up in soot and ashes, his eyes looked strained and blood-shot, it seems he had not slept in a few days. Bratta showed signs of the same wear as well, and, in the three months they were away, Bratta seemed to be carrying new arrivals: she was going to have children... Barney’s children soon... it will be a surprise to Bliston indeed.-
-When the first transmissions of Barney’s and Bratta’s voices came through, the only words they said were as follows-
Barney: “-such a shame, Scordon and Spalyx never made it out of that Citadel Explosion... poor arachnid-faces...-“
Bratta: “We’re coming back, sweetheart, its... been too long away from our kind... i miss my brother as much as you missed serving under him...”
-they seemed to had found this island by sheer luck...-
-The Wing-striker was running low on Fuel, they been flying for days on what seemed like a Vulture's worth of chi fuel for the bat-craft. a warning beep educated that problem, and Barney growls-
Barney: "Darnit! We're low on fuel! Well, i guess we'll make a beach landing then... we've been flying for days, i spared you all the supplies to nurture our young growing within you, Bratta... I'll still survive..." -he'd groaned, holding his withering stomach, he had not eaten for a week, he was serious about that, he only drank sea-water, he was currently delirious, making jittery motions of letting the wing-striker slowly land at a nearby beach, him looking at his blurry eyesight, ruined by all the daylight he had been in for so long, making him pretty much near-sighted.-
Bratta: "Augh! -C-Careful d-dear! I-i'd hate to risk life and limb for this! You've been doing this ever since we broke away from the Forgotten, look at where you are, your health is poor! You did all your starving and and thirst for me! Why... why could you maintain such a persona like that!? You're killing yourself!" -She'd be silenced by a hiss from barney-
Barney: "I've been doing this because i love you! I've been doing nothing but fighting and warring for you! But now i am tired of all that, i just wanna go home and be a happy father to our young! I can't be the one commanding others to take other's lives without caution or risk of retribution. We've been escaping that, then what else do you THINK WE'VE BEEN DOING THESE PAST THREE MONTHS!?!?" -he'd roared out in her face, his delirium from dehydration getting to him, Bratta whimpers in worry and hugs Barney tightly, trying to calm him down-
-Barney sighed and kept his hands on the controls, soon making a nice soft and smooth landing on these New Bat Island Shores, soon holding the Pregnant Bratta in his arms as he soon begins his struggling trek on foot, he had no energy to fly, and Bratta was too heavy to fly on her own power with the added weight of developing newborns...-
Barney: "Must go on... must go on... f-for m-my f-family... f-for th-the king..." -He'd panted... and wheeze... struggling to keep up his short hike to nearby civilization...-
-But then, the poor bat stopped and frowned, looking sorry, Bratta felt the same way...-
"Oh who am I kidding..."
-Barney soon fell to his knees, and seemingly... just, dropped dead at a distance, when he merely went into a coma from all this undernourishment and dehydration he caused himself. Bratta fell out of his arms and laid besides on the sandy beaches, prone, panting,,, she'd soon close her eyes, and drawl a sharp breath...-
-There a was a distressing bat hiss that was heard across the beaches and some of the internal island...-

-There a was a distressing bat hiss that was heard across the beaches and some of the internal island...-
Two scouting Wing Strikers fly above the jungle in the direction of the hiss. The bats land on the beach and carry Bratta and Barney onto the vehicles. Bratta will notice that these two Wing Strikers are completely gold and red rather than the original black and purple color scheme. The Bat scouts wear identical shoulder pads and full body suits of armor of the same color; an ornate, foreign-looking design.

*In Blistons throne room, (Im assuming he has one) whilst looking away he hears a voice appear from behind*
Gorbav: Well, well, well... we meet again... Bliston.
Bliston turns around, almost lazily. Bliston: "Oh, hello President. A chi ghost, I presume? I was told that Balthazar enlisted the Pirates to take chi ghost concoctions from your HQ, for use against the Icebear fleet, but when the Pirates turned the chi ghost army against the Bat Fleet, Balthazar destroyed the concoctions, immediately transporting all the chi ghost back to the land of the deceased. Although I suppose your ghost, if it was among them, could've escaped Gibbs' control in the first place, since you're a gorilla."

Gorbav: You are correct in that I am a Chi Ghost, but one is foolish to assume I need a concoction, to appear. And it is even more foolish to assume that you have destroyed all the concoctions. Anyone can be a chi ghost, but some of us more spiritual ones, can appear, at any time. *Warps behind Bliston* Anywhere. Now tell me what do you do on this island? Im curious how our paths have differed.

-Bratta gasped and struggled to get herself up, she’d panted heavily and looked worried- Bratta: “Y-you s-scouts with m-my brother?! O-oh c-Cavora... please, help me and my husband, he’s dying right before you, he needs food and water, and please, help me, i feel like im about to go into labour if you all just stand there!” -she hissed out commandingly, similarly to Blistion.-

Bliston: "They hadn't taken all the chi ghost concoctions in existence, only enough necessary to spawn a small army. As for New Bat Island, we migrated here after crushing the Icebears who froze us and our former HQ. You might've noticed that we bear the armor of the Phoenix. The scorpions returned to the Outlands to build a new HQ, but we didn't unfreeze Black Fang Mountain, because the fate of the bats rests here, on the sea. We're building up our defenses, because there's something else out there, in the uncharted parts of the West Sea. To put it shortly, an enemy of the bats (and possibly of the rest of the tribes) is somewhere on the sea, and the bats have made it our first priority to combat a potential invasion."

They are both flown to a hospital and immediately given food and water.

Gorbav: Intresting… may I ask you something, Bliston? Are you still angry that I tricked and imprisoned you?
-Bratta gasped and struggled to get herself up, she’d panted heavily and looked worried- Bratta: “Y-you s-scouts with m-my brother?!

They are both flown to a hospital and immediately given food and water.
-Once Barney was given his food and drink, he’d make a long road to recovery, but he isn’t with Bratta, she was in a ward with many other females for care and treatment for birth, she’ll may be without him for a while, but he’ll get the news soon-
-Barney reluctantly looks at the guards, looking worriedly-
Barney: “Uhh, thanks, uhm... i wonder what Bliston would think of me and his sister once we see him again... i hope we won’t exile us.” -he’d groan, eating and drinking himself back to health, but once all the food and drink was eaten, he’d could only just sulk, and have his head in his hands, wondering what would happen to both him and Bratta, he could only murr and worry-

Gorbav: Intresting… may I ask you something, Bliston? Are you still angry that I tricked and imprisoned you?
Bliston: "Not much anymore. Balthazar did a fine job of leading the Bat Tribe while I was imprisoned, and the Gorillas treated me better than the Icebears. I've indeed found that inhabiting a cell with books and plumbing is much preferable to having my body temperature dropped below zero for an extended period of time."
