Two rhinos come back on the cart and report that the Gorrila HQ is under attack. Soon after, 80 rhino speedors and 5 bikes leave for the Gorilla HQ.
OOC: I am changing this post: IC: The rhinos tell the bears about the situation and 30 mechs leave along with twenty rock flingers and 40 speedors 20 bear 20 rhino, and one rocket wagon. New machines arrive for the rhinos and Bears. They are incorporated in the army and troops start training with them.

OOC: Okay, let's say Chi isn't water. It's still a liquid. Chi orbs are frozen/crystallized chi, I'm pretty sure. How does a ball of liquid turn into plasma?
The Ice Hunters would blast and freeze any large objects coming toward them on level ground. The frozen objects would be weighed down by the Ice and fall on the ground in front of the hunters' feet. However, if someone were to stand above an Ice Hunter and throw a heavy object down, the object would still hit the Hunter, even after its frozen, because its going down on them from above, like the rocks the inlanders were using in their early battles with the hunters in the show.
The Ice Hunters obviously can survive all temperatures of cold. When it comes to heat, I'm not entirely sure, but in the show, the Ice Hunters went inside the Phoenix temple. They were literally surrounded by hot lava pouring down on the walls. Just being around that amount of heat would quickly melt anything frozen, and yet the frozen limbs of the ice Hunters didn't even start to melt. So I think the Ice Hunters are resistant to heat, unless the fire or lava actually touches them.
(OOC: That falling object would still have the same 9.8 m/s gravity speed, masses are equally affected by gravity, Galileo proved this, and still enough speed and mass is to kill a human-sized target. And are you saying hunters arent aware of objects above them? Is that their doomsday? That sounds strange in my honest opinion, they should at least be smarter than that.
I can see where your going with objects being thrown parallel to their footing. But If a fast enough projectile is even frozen, even with that added weight to put it on the ground, the inertia and initial velocity of the object will still carry it and would still hit it’s target and unload all it’s kinetic energy into the victim; in short, added mass to the object affects it’s weight, but not relative to the Earth’s gravity pulling that projectile, still, Galileo proved this with dropping two cannon balls of different weights/masses and they both hit the ground at the same time. And basically if thrown at an arc, throw higher until you hit your target, Lion Artys know how to use trajectory to their advantage.
And are you also implying they can survive Absolute Zero? 0 Degrees Kelvin. A temperature that hasn’t been produced by us humans in lab conditions, yet they can survive all cold?! C’mon, they should at least survive swimming in Liquid Nitrogen for only a few minutes in reality to how cold it is! Sure we can take cues from the show and all, but your making the hunters look scientifically inaccurately overpowered. They deserve those weaknesses, they need to be balanced out so we will have a good chance against them, even without fire chi. Heat and fire sure are their weaknesses as defined innthe show, but with your falling rock example, and the science i provide behind using Blunt Force Trauma as an weapon against them, i expect Scordon Freeman to rack up many Gravi-chi gun kills when hunters attack him.
As for the Chi part, its all energy and states of matter.
OOC: Your kind of contradicting yourself with your first point. The Ice Hunters could be smashed by an object above they couldn't see in time, like a booby trap. But if they're smart enough to dodge a falling object they can see, then surely they're smart enough to dodge an object coming right in front of them, regardless of how high-tech the launcher is.
I don't see what the problem is with the hunters being able to survive absolute zero. They're fictional magical beings of Ice. That's just what it is, magic. Trying to explain the Ice Hunters' powers with science is like trying to use science to explain the Force in Star Wars, or the Rings in LOTR, or the mask powers in Bionicle; it does not work. Some magic in fiction contradicts science, and that's okay, because it's fiction, it doesn't need to be explained.
There is clear evidence in the show that the Ice Hunters can be in a room filled with lava, without melting. There's also evidence that they are not immune to physical fire touch (Sir Fangar's cape catching on fire), so yes, they should be and are vulnerable to the physical touch of any objects that are on fire.
Some of the scattered scorpion soldiers who escaped the Vultures come to the Crawler cities of the Great Desert, warning the Crawlers here of the threat from the north, and starting to set up old fashioned fire-related defenses such as crossbows with flaming arrows and catapults with flaming rocks, since the futuristic chi laser weapons are no match for the Ice Hunters' freezing powers. Soon, other scorpions and bats flee from Scorpion Cavern Castle and the now frozen Outland Mountains outposts to the direct east. These Crawlers take all the remaining non-frozen vehicles (Wing Strikers, Bat Super-Tanks, Speedorz, Scorpion Stinger Tanks, and Stinger-Copters) from Black Fang Mountain and the aforementioned Outland Mountains outposts, and bring them to these cities, weaponizing them with flaming ammunition.
The Crawler cities heavily weaponize, arming all their defenses. The remaining anti-air and rocket turrets from the Outland Mountains outposts (along with many turrets stolen borrowed from Scorpion Cavern Castle) are added to the walls and cities, adding it up to 712 turrets in all, across all the cities and walls. Although there aren't many soldiers here, the remaining bat and scorpion soldiers have all the civilians over the age of 18 arm themselves with flaming weapons. The Four Talon Towers can be seen in the distance, coming in from the northeast, using the Outland Mountains to get to the southern Great Desert without going through the rhinos. "I see them, I see the Ice birds!" Says a bat with binoculars. "I see them too." Says a scorpion, also with binoculars. "THEY'RE COMING! ARM ALL DEFENSES!" All non-laser amminution such as chi grenades, arrows and catapult boulders are lit ablaze with fire as the Vultures approach. Bat: "We will fight to protect the citizens of our Empire. We will fight to the end! We will never surrender!" The hundreds of armed civilians (and the several soldiers) cheer at this quick speech. The last defensive measure is taken.
{JAMMERS! -Crawlers- ONLY!} The 200 extra mines are taken from storage and buried underneath the sand, making 400 underground mines in total around the walls that surround the cities.
Lord Vamprah steps onto a balcony at the top of one of The Four Talon Towers. He begins moving his hands, and a vulture standing next to him shouts through a loudspeaker: "Attention, sentients in the Great Desert! I am Lord Vamprah, leader of the Brotherhood of Vultures. I am on a vow of silence, so I speak to you through sign language translated by my brother in arms. Hear this: the southern Great Desert [the part owned by the Crawlers] used to belong to us, until the Vulture Plague nearly wiped out our species, and we regrouped north. The cities that you Outlanders built are desecrations atop the unmarked graves of our ancestors! I give you arachnids and winged mammals a chance to flee before we freeze your buildings and retake our original homeland! Any and all beings who stand in our way will be frozen!"
The mobile Vulture HQ continues to slide south across the Outland Mountains, past the Gorge to its west. The HQ is followed by a trail of Ice the width of the base. Hundreds of Vultures, Ice Vulture Gliders, and Sky Scavengers swarm out of the HQ and fly West to the Crawler cities.
In the cities, not one single Bat or Scorpion retreats; the soldiers and armed civilians stand firm to valiantly protect their last remaining cities (besides that one in the Grassy Plains and the ones in the Scorpion Caverns) Bat: "We will never surrender!" Scorpion: "Fire the catapults!!" Flaming boulders are launched into the air, taking the jets by surprise and striking and exploding many of the vulture jets at the front of the charge.

Yeah, sure, whatever. I rather use science solve fictional conundrums than have a petty argment with you.

A large podium is set up and Blitz Bridger gets on it and assembles the Forgotten together along with his tribe and the rhinos. "Attention! Fellow tribes of Chima! Today we are going to begin the march into history! I would like to give a quick word to the courageous Forgotten warriors who answered the call of duty when tyranny arose! I address you today, to let you know that you are not forgotten! You will never be forgotten! Even when this war is over, and you have retired to your homes. You will not be forgotten. Stories will be relayed to our children of warriors, who, during the utmost adversity and hardship, rose for righteousness! Heros, such as Scordon Freeman, will be remembered in history! Your valiant acts, even when you yourselves may forget about them! Shall never be forgotten! Join us! And may we cleanse Chima from the Tyrranical CURSE! For Chimaaa!!! Thank you Forgotten. Your acts will stay in our memories and records for centuries to come." *Blitz Bridger steps off stage*

Does it need to be explained though? Science is definitely necessary in real life, but explaining magic with science takes the fun out of fiction, IMO.

Although many Vulture vehicles are destroyed by the flaming boulders and arrows from crossbows, the sheer amount of ice and vultures overwhelms the brave Crawlers. Hundreds of chi Ice lasers and Ice missiles bombard the cities as the Four Talon Towers smash through the walls from the east, sliding down the mountains and smashing into the cities, freezing anything they touch. Scorpions finally begin to retreat as the buildings are frozen and crushed, and the bats are frozen. However, all Vulture mechs that run across the sand toward the walls are blown up by the underground mines (put there in jammered moves a while ago and recently). The 400 mines utterly decimate any Vulture forces on the ground before they get to the walls, and as a corner of the base of the Four Talon Towers unavoidablely slides above the mines, a huge hole is blown in that part of the base from the bottom. One brave Bat launches a giant flaming boulder from the last remaining catapult right before he's frozen and the catapult is destroyed by an ice missile.
The boulder comes right at the top of the tower, where Vamprah stands inside the top room. Vulture: "Intensify forward firepower!" Another Vulture: "Too late!" The Vultures at the window jump out of the way as the flaming boulder comes crashing through, but Vamprah stands as still as a statue, glaring at the boulder without a flinch. The battling Brotherhood and Imperial forces hear and see most of the top of a tower exploding in a burst of fire, pieces of rock and ice falling down from the wreckage.
