Seris: "Yeah... so how do you know that there are more out there in the first place?"
Spalyx: "I swore i heard the Overwatch Voice out deeper west, and some sort of fighting out there between some beastly force and the Combine. Well, if anything, i think my friend, Scordon Freeman, would most likely investigate... whats taking him so long anyway to get here, he always does this..." -she'd say, looking back east to Chima, looking around the vague outlines of the shorelines of chima-
Seris: "Hmm. Well, we'll see if your investigation merits any truths."

(OOC: I gotta stop stalling and do this thing already! )
-meanwhile somewhere far in the west sea, the endless Oceanic waters, there were an entire fleet of Combine Airwatch units, many an Synth Gunship, Dropship, and Hunter-Chopper, all floated eerily close to an somewhat controlled Island of their, it was around the size of Iceland, and they landed on it's more northern shores, past sea-side defenses that looked like as below.-
-With the Combine seeking dominion around in this region of the world, they opted to build a strong-hold here, something to mark as another headquarters after their main one fell in Cave 17 in the Outlands, they needed to suppress an indigenous species around here that was constantly harassing them, in greater and greater numbers with each and every raid that comes from the seas...-
The Combine usually did hold an land-based advantage, due to their use of the sea, to drain it and create more land to run off the aquatic invaders, and as such, the Island has grew recently, to the point where shallow water bets were quickly transformed into wastelands, there, many an Overwatch land-based unit would cross these sandy land bridges to get from one base to the next on this island, something of scenery as below...-
However, this Island was about to be overrun soon, not by the same lifeforms that inhabit it, but by natural disasters caused by said lifeforms as a first strike upon the many unsuspecting victims they'll take in their war. Something the Combine and the Overwatch refer to as the "Sub-Aquatica". They won't know it, but their current base being built up here is in danger of being taken by the Sub-Aquatica...
The Combine has a formidable foe to storm their Bastille, their stronghold of opression, Seabase Prospekt...
IC: *From a safe distance off, a carboat heads toward shore. It has an unsturdy metal tower on it, made to watch action on the West Sea. A fox at the top of the tower folds up a spyglass, which he used to watch all the action unfold. He scrambles down a ladder into the back of the carboat.* "Hmph, the bats can't expect any help from us... ever. Those flying rats had Klark as a top bodyguard, then they shot him down with no respect at all."
OOC: Do the ice bears leave after they find it is broken?
The icebears remain on the frozen island to use it as a base against the Fire tribes.
Though most of the naval Icebears had left the island to chase after the Bat and Bear fleets back during the Crawler—Ice Hunter War, some of them stayed on the frozen island. Without ships, they waited there for King Icestrike's orders on weather they should stay or go, but such orders never came...
Now, Senix arrives at the frozen shores of Bat Island on his speedboat. Disembarking, he buries the lions he froze, hiding them on the island. Senix then gathers up the hundred or so icebears here, and informs them of what happened on the mainland while they stayed here.
Senix: "Icebears of Bat Island! I am terribly sorry to inform you that your king, Icestrike, is deceased, slain by the Leopard King!" -sorrowful and outraged murmurs erupt through the crowd- "Yes, it is true, and the Ice Hunter alliance is fracturing and falling apart, likely because of your great King's death; Lord Vamprah allied the Brotherhood of Vultures with the Leopard Tribe, after helping Leodus destroy Icestrike; the other Icebears have fallen under the leadership of a false king, and have also been disowned from the Ice Hunters; Malgus, the Mammoths' wizard, has detached a portion of his tribe from the Ice Hunters, and is now calling himself the King in the North; the Ice Hunters' bases and footholds in the south have fallen, and the status of my King Finglor is unknown after his last battle in the Iron Mountains. Since the other sabertoothes are blinded by their war on the Lions, I, the Sabertoothes' humble fourth-in-command, have taken it upon myself to rebuild the Ice Hunters! Will you, the icebears clearly the most loyal to King Icestrike, help me attack The Purple City and conquer Malgus' Mammoths, in the name of your great king!"
The Icebears cheer and chant "Se-nix! Se-nix!" as they follow the wizard off the island, running on the rapidly forming ice bridge atop the water. Senix leads them up north, charging towards The Purple City.

-it seems they had left fare gone by now, well, no matter, The Freeman will come to play, Although there may be residual stragglers on the island, they’d be no match with the fire-winged Scorp-
-The fire-chi powered Airboat Casually rumbles on over to the frozen glacier of an island, the ice sheet melts in a 10 yard radius around the Airboat, he’d soon make landfall, defrosting the sandy beaches, he’d drove around a bit to keep an wide area unfrozen. He’d disembark his vehicle, his fire wings flare up into life, and he goes hiking about the white wonderland, a 5 yard radius of unfrozen land around him.-
-he’d go looking around for any sign of structure, and if so, signs of life that he could free. The crowbar-weilding scientist is on the hunt.-

In the middle of the somewhat small island, Scordon finds the black ruins of the large Bat Naval Command Center. The fallen walls are filled with holes, from when the Icebears' Claw Driller mechs had plowed through them. Clearly, the Icebears had taken both the bats and their chi from here after their attack, back in the pre-fire chi days of the Crawler—Ice Hunter War, but Scordon might find old Bat weapons and crashed Wing Strikers in the ruins. There doesn't seem to be any sign of life here... but there's a mound of frost-covered dirt near the middle of the island, which looks like it was dug very recently.

The hole is covered in dirt and ice, but if he's interested, Freeman will find several buried lions if he starts to dig the hole back open.

IC: The Forgotten politicians surrounding Seris Rax in her command center on Scordon Island wake her from a trance. Forgotten: "Governess! Are you alright?"
Seris: "Arrgh! No... NO! There is no escape!"
Forgotten: "Governess...?"
Seris, fuming, suddenly throws a chair across the room. The Forgotten politicians narrowly dodge it. Seris: "I did what he asked! This isn't how it was supposed to go! I forge my own future from here on!"
Forgotten: "What are you talking about?"
Seris: "Scrin! His reach extends to the sea."
Forgotten: "Um.. of course it does. What's the problem?"
Seris whirls around. Seris: "Get out. All of you."
Forgotten: "But Governess, we were in the middle of a meeting-"
Seris: "GET OUT!"
The politicians hastily shuffle through the doors of Seris' office. Governess Rax sits down at her desk, thinking for a minute. She eventually arranges a meeting with the leader of her island's northern neighbor, King Bliston...

(OOIC: -Gladion’s battle theme can be heard in the distance- )
-he’d grunted and looked over their bodies, they looked somewhat wounded, but, he at least begins to defrost them, wondering if they’ll be any help, he’ll need to cauterize their wonds in order to keep them from dying, at least his heat generated from his suit will save them from Hypothermia-
-he’d begin to chip away at the ice with his flaming stinger and fiery crowbar-
