OOC: In case you're wondering, the Wolves are currently in an alliance with the Gorillas and Scorpions called Unichi. You can lead the Gorillas as well, if you want.
OOC: Nah I am good, sir. IC: *Leaves to Croc HQ.*
After having returned here following the Battle of the Phoenix Isles, Lobo's forces had been exhausted and unprepared to reinforce the Crocodiles during their recent battle with the Lions. By now, though, Lobo has regrouped his army, stocked up on fire chi provided to him by his Phoenix allies, and eagerly goes to Galvanor's meeting at Eagle Spire upon being contacted by his fellow king.
Wol'jin, Craunus, Leon, and their respective forces arrive stealthily to the border of Wolf territory.
Leon (keeps watch while holding his chi rifle at the ready): "Maximus? Is there a tunnel entrance nearby?"
Craunus: "Let's see... Yep, here it is."
The Consul slides a fake boulder, which is much lighter than it looks, to the side, revealing a metal plate on the forest floor. He pulls a lever in a hollow part of the hatch, which is molded specifically for a scorpion's claw. Craunus lifts the hatch to reveal a deep tunnel that's still brightly lit by glowing crystals inserted into the walls.
Craunus: "A bit smaller than I remembered.... You'll have to leave your tanks and continue on foot."
Leon: "Got it--"
He suddenly gets a radio call as the lions hide their tanks.
Leon: "What?! I-- I see."
He turns to the group.
Leon: "The Lion City is being attacked by Primordium! All of their leaders are present."
Wol'jin: "Ugh, I should've known Lobo would leap at the opportunity for battle. Should we alter our objective and go to Lion City?"
The old lion scratches his grey beard.
Leon: "No. My orders were to carry out this operation no matter what. In fact King Lycor had told me that, should Lobo leave the Wolf City, it'll be better for us, because we can wait here to ambush him upon his return. Besides, I'm sure my son can hold his own against an attack on the city, just like before."
Wol'jin: "That's true, actually. Heh, so either Lobo doesn't survive the battle, or he does, and comes home only to be met by us. This works out perfectly."
Craunus: "Yes, however I should notify the rest of Unichi about this. Helping to defend the Lions is the least we could do to repay them for assisting us in returning the Wolf Tribe to Unichi."
Wol'jin: "That is very true as well."
Leon: "You have my thanks."
As the wolves, lions, and scorpions enter the tunnel, Craunus radios the other Unichi leaders to tell them about the attack on the Lion City.

As the wolves, lions, and scorpions enter the tunnel, Craunus radios the other Unichi leaders to tell them about the attack on the Lion City.
Craunus, however, receives the Gorillas' message urging to Unichi leaders to aid the Lions.
Craunus: "Well, that works out well."
As the group ventures further into the tunnel, Craunus tells them about this, and then radios the Praetors.
{JAMMERS! -Lions and Scorpions- ONLY!} Craunus, Leon and Wol'jin get their forces under Wolf City through the tunnel network, and the scorpions dig upward; the group soon arrives through several spread-out holes into the Government Building. As the leaders and many of their soldiers lie in wait in the shadows of Lobo's office (Wol'jin's former office), other lions, scorpions, and GRP wolves stealthily pull the building's skeleton crew of guards down into the holes, waiting for Lobo to return with the Wolf Army.
If or when Lobo returns here after retreating from Lion City, he finds that the guards in the central Government Building have disappeared.
*The Wolves arrive. Stops. Looks around.* Something feels....odd. *Notices the guards are missing.* No..no. *Runs to jet.*
From the soil on either side of the landing pad walkway, lions and scorpions burst out of the ground, jumping in front of the jet. One of the scorpions jumps atop the craft and punctures the cockpit windshield with his stinger, before dropping a fire chi grenade into the hole and jumping off. A small explosion results in the cockpit and the front nose of the jet collapsing to the ground. The lion in front speaks.
Leon: "Lobo, you are under arrest for the illegitimate usurping of President Wol'jin."
The doors of the Government Building leading to the landing pad burst open, and Wol'jin charges through with his GRP wolves. They rush the wolves here with Lobo, beginning to take down his guards.

*Panics.* *Thinking: Hmmm, I'm surrounded. There's no way I can escape, or beat them if I fight back. Hmmm..I don't think I remember that Wol'jin fellow.* *Calls out:* Stop fighting! *The wolves stop fighting.* I must say that I claimed leadership of this tribe, because I didn't find anyone to lead it. *Surrenders.* I hope you know I did nothing wrong.

Wol'jin: "Liar! You overthrew me and tried to abolish the government the Wolves worked hard to establish, as well as removing us from Unichi, the alliance we created! However... it seems you recognize the illegitimacy of your leadership. I had been planning on exiling you, but I accept your surrender. You may remain with the tribe, as long as you don't make another attempt to usurp me; I won't be so merciful then..."
A sand-colored scorpion clears his throat.
Craunus Maximus: "You hear that, people of the Wolf Tribe? Your rightful President, and the democracy he graced the tribe with, hast returned!"
The gathered wolves, including the soldiers who'd been with Lobo, gradually stow their weapons and take a knee, accepting Wol'jin back.
