Former: Storm Queens

Former: Storm Queens

The light swings around above of the two factions, Forgotten and Order. Both of them stared upon one another, yet the silence overpowers them as Koji and Ziran said nothing. The room was small and it was impossible to fit them all inside. Where the remaining members of both sides were standing outside of the small room before them, the door was opened yet neither of them went inside at all. Koji was standing inside the room pacing around the room. She was nervous as sweat began to fall from her forehead and air damping her fur while she gnarred at her fangs. She wondered where the Deadeyes and Corruption were. It was a long time since their disappearance and no one knew where they were at the time. This only made Koji very worried as she stopped she turned to Ziran then at Zakai and Zeki but both of them were looking at Zakika. All Koji could do was to frown as she stopped, she sighed in silence. The room was quiet only for a while, as Koji began to look around the room. Spotting his fellow members all gathering up in one corner, she sighed again and walked up to them. Separating the two factions among themselves, Koji sat down onto the ground and talked among of her teammates. This had went on for a while longer where there was nothing but talks among the two factions. They were both separated, knowing that they rather do things on their own ways. Koji stared at them again, often times turning her head to see what the Order was doing.

Likewise, they aren't doing anything at all and this had her worried for a bit. Shaking her head, she turned back towards the others as Pyrail's voice was heard through her ears. She turned to Pyrail, the others began to listen to him speak. "We have the gem from the Order, why are we sheltering here? Do we own the Order something?" "No," Koji remark as the others turned to her. She was angered, but she remained calm as she glanced upon Pyrail he narrowed his eyes, she stood up for a change before replying to his silence "The only reason why we chose Order, is because we don't know where the BrokenShards are. We had hoped to form a triple alliance against the GreenSphere who overthrew the ColorUnion not too long ago." There were some silences; she perked her ears as she began to listen to the silence. Then someone spoke up, for she turned her attention towards the Order where Ziran stood up and faced her. The other lions were silent saying nothing in reply as they all stared upon the foxes, Pyrail and Jyoti growled. But Koji held her breath as Ziran reply to her, "So is that reason why you wanted to shelter here huh? However, is that the only reason?" She paused for a moment before swinging her tail. her mind was in a different possibilities maybe more if she could count herself lucky. For without hesitation, she nodded her head. The lion growled but weaken himself nodding in despair though there was some anger in his voice, "Very well then, we shall join in your cause." "What's the plan then, Koji?" Crystal asked where Sharubi got up from his spot glaring at the lions then at Koji herself.

Koji frowned but said nothing in the silence, she hadn't thought that far up though. But she was willingly to listen to some ideas, for in the silence she turned her attention towards the lions then back at the foxes. Before making her reply, Ziran interrupted her "We should find out where the BrokenShards are, they may prove to be useful however."" I think I know where they are," Pyrail remark as he grinned. "Where" Koji asked, Pyrail only reply "South from here" "South" Koji exclaimed to which Pyrail nodded his head and smiled in silence. Koji frowned and scratches her fur; she knew this will be a fallback mission in order to get the BrokenShards over to their side. But what if they were late and the Corruption and Deadeyes were already captured? She shook her head and growled, narrowing her eyes she rose them up and turned to both factions. It was again silence, no one was speaking as all eyes were to her. As she noticed this, she turned to Jyoti Crystal and Sharubi. Neo only nodded before crossing his arms whereas his markings glowed, "We're going southward." She concluded "Pack your backs," She ordered and both factions fled from her sights down into the deeper end of the room where they all disappeared except for Jyoti who handed her own back to which she gracefully accepts without hesitation.

When everything was silent, Koji and Ziran glanced out upon the doors and opened it silently. Looking outside they had saw that the plains were already changing from green to brown. Koji frowned nearly fainted to see such beautiful color turn to waste, however Ziran shook his head and roared at her snapping from her mind Koji shook her head and smiled at him he grumbled saying nothing in return as he allowed her to step forth into the plains. There was no wind, but the sun was still there high above the skies. Koji frowned as she glanced around soon after her teammates emerged, they too were surprised by how the plains were that everything had changed in just a second. "What happen here?" "No idea," Koji replied to Jyoti as Pyrail frowned darting his eyes around the place before taking out his map. Koji and Jyoti ran up to him looking upon the map as well they had saw that the map only showed the island drawing. Where it was an accurate drawing, there were trees off at the bottom and top of the map, the plains was surrounding the big forest in the center and all around of the plains stood the abandoned cities from long before. Koji cocked her head, wondering why this map feels familiar in her generation of war. But otherwise she chose to ignore it and growled as the Lions emerged from their hiding spot and frowned.

Together once more they ran down the plains towards the southern part of the islands where they had hoped that the BrokenShards were there. Koji panted she had not ran this fast all of her life, despite being a war veteran before she closes her eyes. Remembering the shouts and explosions that emerged around of her, and everything that she had remembered she shivered in silence she felt a paw against her shoulder that she turned to Neo and Kyoko who smiled faintly at her. She smiled in reply but glanced on ahead seeing that Pyrail and the Order were already a minute ahead of them. Gasping, she snarled as she tried to run faster than she could had down the plains catching up to the leaders. Her mind hurts, she doesn't know why as she kept on going pacing herself. Ziran and Pyrail turned to her smiling faintly, whereas the other foxes tried to play catch up to the others. The trip was rather long but at least the Forgotten and the Order was able to see what had happen here upon the island. As Koji glanced around, she spotted the big tree forest that she used to go to when she was younger as she smiled faintly to herself, she heard a growl emerging from Pyrail that she snapped her neck to him he pointed up ahead knowing that they were half way there.

Continuing down south of the island, it was rather quiet and peaceful. Koji on the other paw was breathing heavily panting with her tongue sticking out. Her sweat soon covered her entire body and she felt her legs sting with fire. She knew she couldn't make it and she fell down onto the ground tired and out of breath that the other Forgotten and Order turned their attention towards her and sighed. Only the Forgotten snickered among themselves as they gathered up upon Koji herself picking her up as Pyrail sighed, noticing how beautiful she was when she was sleep. Pyrail nodded to the Order as Ziran frowned and shook his head long before pointing in the near distance Pyrail, Jyoti, Crystal and Sharubi turned their attention behind them gasping with their eyes widen. There behind them was a set of eyes; perhaps more if they consider themselves unlucky. Where the four foxes stepped back to the protection of the lions, Pyrail remark "Who are they?" "It's probably the Deadeyes and Corruption, they've came here to stop us from reaching the BrokenShards." "Should we fight?" Jyoti asked, Zeki shook his head as Zakai, Zaika, Zeki and Zosia all began to crouch down roaring loudly at them, as Ziran snarled at the other lions. Pyrail covered his ears before hearing some muffing sounds. It was that then that they had screwed up where they heard in the far distance some shuffling of bushes the Order and Forgotten gasped as Jyoti spoke onto the others, "Let's go!" "How can we when the-" "Hello Order and Forgotten," A voice spoke in the mellows as the two factions turned from their argument with one another towards a serpent before of them.

To whom was hissing properly, she smirked narrowing her eyes upon the likes of the lion and the fox. As she grinned, she hissed and began to slither on forward before stopping herself her eyes narrowed upon the two factions as Pyrail heard Ziran spoke "What do you want Queen Eden?" "E... Eden?" Pyrail asked, glancing at Ziran who said nothing but raised his eyes staring into the female serpent. Who chuckled without hesitation as she raised her paw and curled it up narrowing at them again before speaking onto them, "Well is that a proper way to speak to a female or more like a Queen? You really need some manners, Order." "We aren't here for some proper tea brake just tells just why you're here so that-" "Oh but I am here for her..." She says, Pyrail heard Ziran threw down the unconscious fox onto the ground, "And you." She pointed at Ziran. He gasped but said nothing in response, grunting as he could he scowled at the Forgotten before turning his gaze over to the Queen. Pyrail frowned but before he could do anything, Zakai lowered himself down to Pyrail's ear and whispered "Come on, let's go." "But what about-"" I said let's go." Soon afterwards the Forgotten and Order escaped leaving behind the two leaders to the Queen's doing.

Chapter 2:

"you left them!" Pyrail snarled at the lions as they fell to silence, "You just left them to the fates of that drastic Queen! Why did you all do that?" "Listen Pyrail..." Zalika frowned as she and the other lions said nothing in reply, "We all had to sacrifice ourselves for the-" "Enough of that nonsense," Pyrail remark as Jyoti stepped forth towards him clapping his paw onto his shoulder Pyrail turned to him he snarled saying nothing in reply. It was that then that the two factions' fighting had stopped among themselves, giving way to the silence between the two. Zalika frowned and lowered her eyes, as Pyrail and Jikan said nothing they turned to their own faction where Crystal piped up and spoke among them, "We should go." "To where" Zhou remark as Pyrail growled at him, forcing him to shut up. "No one is talking to you! Even you Zalika" "What my leader had to do in order to save both our butts," Zalika shouted back and the two began to fight again whereas the other foxes and lions stared at one another then grabbed hold upon their respective member heading in different directions. "Do you know where to go?" Jyoti asked Pyrail who nodded his head smirking in the silence as he held the map in his paws.

The Forgotten make their way down south, everyone was hoping that their leader Koji would survive from the serpent's wrath. Pyrail frowned and shook his head as his feet carried him over across the wilted plains his thoughts were to his own daughter, hoping that he was okay. It was sometime then that they were together and thus in the past where war was upon of them. Shaking his head, he scratches his fur as Jyoti and Crystal turned to him he signaled them as they nodded they continued going down watching whatever was in front of them. The trees sways to silence yet there was no winds. This had surprised Pyrail although he himself he didn't care of it at all; as he stared up front upon the horizon he growled. His eyes narrowed as the Forgotten continued down the roads eventually seeing that there was a hill going down into the plains below of them, Jyoti at first was nervous but Pyrail shook his head anticipating that it would be deep he knew this as well. As he raises his paws upon the others, Crystal, Neo and Kyoko stepped forth however only Kyoko raised her paws and her gem glowed in the silence. Surrounding the other foxes with her magic, they were slowly thrust down into the mellows below of them landing safely onto the ground Pyrail raised his eyes up and snapped at Neo who stepped forth in front of Pyrail Kyoko jumped. Caught in the arms of Neo, she licked him Neo blushed but the other foxes narrowed as he nodded, putting down Kyoko onto the ground the group remain still heading down the continued road hoping to find the BrokenShards.

Upon arriving in the shores of the south, Forgotten emerged from the forest where the waves began to entered into the shores. Koji's heart leap, they finally made it to the southern parts of the island as Koji grinned, she turned to the others but none of them were there behind of her. Instead they ran out deep into the sands glaring at upon the horizon as Koji frowned scratching her head wondering why they were acting this way. In the silence, she watched and she stepped forth to them regrouping as Kyoko turned her head to her and spoke out, "So where are the BrokenShards?" "That's the question I would love to know myself." Koji responded with a frown, as she turned her attention to both sides of the shores. She knew she hadn't found anything that perhaps looked like the faction's HQ. Sighing in defeat, she heard a rustle behind her and the Forgotten turned to whoever was behind of them. The bushes began to rustle faster than before as a group of lions emerged from their hiding spots Koji waved upon Zakai as he moaned groaning in pain before shaking his head. Koji walked up to them and spoke, "Where are the BrokenShards?" "The BrokenShards" Zeki responded and the Forgotten nodded their heads, Zeki then pointed behind of them responding "They're in there. They're hidden among the forest, but closer to the shores." "that figures," Koji muttered as the Forgotten regroup with the Order who led them out from the shores and well into the forest disappearing into the trees.

Once they arrived, Sevta and Valsi stopped their conversation with one another and turned their attention towards the Forgotten. Whereas they greeted them with a smile, waving above of their heads and Koji repeated the same act grinning stupidly while Sevta and Valsi sighed among themselves. They offered a chair, both Koji and Zeki sat down across from one another but sitting adjacent to Sevta and Valsi as they folded their paws glancing at them both. It was silent neither of them was speaking to one another nor to one of the BrokenShards. Koji felt nervous but she remained calmed as she breathed closing her eyes as she opened them then turned to one of the two before speaking, "We need your help." "With what" Sevta asked, frowning. Koji responded to her however Zeki interrupted interjecting "Deadeyes and Corruption are gone, and we need help against the Queen." "Eden?" Valsi asked, both animals nodded their heads with the two turning to one another then back at Zeki and Koji, "Sure, but who is she?" "Queen Eden, I'm sure you've heard of her?" Koji said, both shook their heads forcing some sighs emerging from Zeki and Koji growled in response, "The queen is very ruthless... She is a green serpent; leader of the Green Spheres-" "That's a bad name," Sevta responded almost immediately. Koji went on,

"Anyway Eden is a ruthless serpent, leader of the Green Spheres. Although we don't know where she came from, but we needed your help in bringing them down and rescue the Deadeyes and Corruption from her." "They're captured... right?" Sevta asked, Koji nodded bringing a sigh from both of them as they stood up and nodded their heads, "Alright I suppose we can help out, just be careful of them however. Queen Eden doesn't like any outsiders however..." "For how big is their territory?" Valsi asked, both Koji and Zeki shrugged giving in onto the silence that they're giving to them. With that note, Valsi stared squinting at them both before smiling "So you don't know?" "Nope," Koji said, Both Valsi and Sevta frowned but nodded their heads, "Alright with any other information you would love to give to us?" "No," Koji said, and both of them stood up "Alright, let's get cracking." "First what's the plan?" Zeki interrupted as the other three turned to him and frowned, "The plan?" Sevta asked, raising his paw up upon of his cheek, "We don't have one." With that both of them disappeared into the forest leaving behind the two animals as Koji scowled at Zeki to whom raises his paws up and frowned, speaking "Hey don't look at me, I'm not the one who wanted to talk to them in the first place." Koji sighed and shook her head, "This was going to be a long one, I suppose..." She muttered

In the sounds stood a ruthless queen, where she stood upon the center of the room glaring at her own reflection in the mirror. Her scales were green yet shiny with sparkles. For she was the serpent that everyone had hated, though she doesn't like them back as a way. She was a tyrant queen, everyone knew of this and for her to be back in control she would have to strike the fears of her enemies. Her island empire was already complete, soon she would be able to compete with the blasted humans who tried to take her home not too long ago. As she hissed remembering this, she put down the brush onto the table growling yet onto herself. "If it wasn't for those humans, I would had live in my throne in peace and not in fear!" She spoke staring upon the mirror again with those baggy eyes among her scales. She curled up as she brushed, but heard something in the far distance. As she stopped, she paused turning her head around narrowing her eyes as she wondered if those rebels were back. "I suppose I'll have to take care of them myself!" She hesitated, although glee with pride as she slither her way forth towards the door. For when she opened it she glanced outside, another crash was heard perhaps it was the window. As she crane her head out to investigate, she narrowed and soon emerged out from her shell. Feeling a bit nervous, still she should her head and laughed.

The hallway was dark, she was again alone for she knew she herself cannot trust anyone besides herself. As she stared onto the hallways' horizon before of her, she make her way down to hear the source of the noises. There it was again, some rumbling in the distance. Was it an earthquake? She doesn't know but she was very hesitate from the start as she soon began to feel nervous. Remembering her recent mistake down in the other island, she slither her way ahead through upon the horizon before of her where she disappeared in the silence. The dark had surrounded her, but she soon emerged into the main hallway where she stopped and listened. One more noise came from her ear, as she lowered her head down onto the ground hissing with delight now that she knew where it was coming from. As she went her way down the stairs and into of the first floor, she stopped and turned her head over to the room behind of her as she saw some light emerging into her eyes. She widen them and gasped, but angrily stepped into the light looking out into of the kitchen room where she had saw no one else.

She paused once again and frowned, scratching her head as she wondered where and what had happen. For there was a mess down below of where the kitchen's ref was which was perhaps opened at the time, as the queen went her way forward towards the kitchen's ref she turned her head around and to the side. Looking around among the room soon noticing that nothing was there except for her own. The room was again dark except for the light that the ref was holding, she still shook her head and closed it sending the kitchen into the darkness that it had deserved as she hissed angrily, she scowled upon her surroundings muttering yet onto herself, "Wannabes." She make her way towards the exit of the kitchen. She exited and found herself back into the main room as she yawned stretching out her head and body she soon heard another noise this time coming from the upstairs of her own room. In result, she growled hissing angrily to herself as she slither faster up the stairs and into of the second floor where she glanced around soon turning the corner before she stopped. For there before of her stood two yellow eyes, she was afraid. She dropped her act and widen her eyes, as her body curled around herself she soon became tangled and stepped back among the rails behind of her. What could she do? She wondered as her eyes were met with the yellow eyes standing before of her that she was shaken with fear.

This in all honest wasn't like her, as she was shaken defeated and most of all scared for her life. Was she going to be eaten alive? She certainly wasn't looking forward towards it, but looking upon the eyes of the beast staring away upon her very soul makes her wished that she didn't picked this place after all that she stepped back upon the rails feeling her tail hanging just above of the kitchen room below of her. She stood, her eyes widen she hissed but found out that she cannot due to her fear. All that she could do was to stand there and stare upon the beast= she was grabbed she felt a paw, as she let out a gasp she was pulled from the second floor and onto the first in just a matter of seconds. She hit the ground so hard that she nearly had fainted, but she manages to look up upon her attackers and hissed weakly, "Cursed you," She muttered before blanking out.

She emerged waking up; tied to a chair she frowned as she struggled to get free. She hissed, growling even as she lowered her eyes among the ground below of her staying to silence as much as she could. She wondered if she was going to die right here and then she was worried beyond the point. For as she raises her eyes upon the horizon, she saw herself surrounded by the darkness with isolation she frowned nervously, her tail wagged as she waited. She wondered if she was going to die still; as she waited in the dark. She looked up upon the light, spotting it. The light swaying to the sides she glanced down when she heard a voice, "Eden am I right?" There was a quiet nod coming from Eden herself as she nervously shivered, her scales grew to a shaky response as she calmly spoke yet there was a voice of betrayal in her "Wh... What are you guys going to do to me?" "We want nothing more than of your cooperation, Mrs." "My... My cooperation?" She wondered blinking and hissing at the same time, although she was a bit more... Interest if you will. "Why do you need me?" She asked, the voice chuckled in silence, long before raising its eyes up upon her own. Where they met in horizon, Eden saw it and reeled herself back speaking or stuttering, "Wh... Who are you?" "We are the Forgotten, Order and BrokenShards. The same three factions you had tried to kill over the last few days and time."

She said nothing as she stared onto the eyes, gulping nervously she nodded her head and looked gazing upon the grounds beneath of her feet. As she does, the voice spoke up once again "We can help or we will hinder your process." She hissed and raised her voice, confident and determine she snarled at the voice as footsteps soon approaches from all around. "I will never offer myself, even if-" "We were fighting against the same enemy?" She stopped cold, it was as if she froze all over but she herself didn't care for as she knew what they were holding. She chose her words on carefully, "Fine. You've cornered me, but what is it that you had wanted." She asked, the voice spoke "Perhaps it's time we met face to face." Afterwards there was no voice, but footsteps soon replaced it. As Eden gasped she widen her eyes as she tried to wiggle herself out of this mess. She knew she had no idea what she was being pursuit let alone that she was captured in her own home. For as the footsteps soon approaches, someone behind her grabbed hold upon the light and shined in onto the animal before her and she hissed amused as she spoke, "So... it's you then eh? The yellow fox who had tried to oppose me during-" the serpent said but koji interrupted her speaking, "Tell us where you are holding Deadeyes and Corruption?"

"Both of them" Eden asked frowning as she cocked her head to the side, she had on her a smirk as she stared onto Koji who growled in response, "We won't say it again, where are they?" "Hidden among the alternate universe of course, I assure to both of you..." She grinned, "They are safe." "They are safe? But why in the alternate world?" Koji asked, her voice sounds she was pleading with her although Eden knows better than this as she smirked, she laughed. As her tailed wagged in the silence, she stared onto her replying "Why in the alternate world? Because of the agreement that we had with the humans of course, for if it wasn't possible they would let me-" "Enough, Tell us where they are he-" "They are headed to an darken city just north of here," Eden interrupted Koji again with a little hiss to make sure that she was correct. For as she stared onto Koji; she growled and clenches her paws so much it seems that they are white. But Eden pay no attention to this, instead she stared onto her as she smiled for she crane her neck up proudly and pride as she said towards Koji," I offer yet an suggestion. I assure to you that both the alternate and the real worlds are the same, however. both of them are different. You will see ghosts if you went to that place and vice versa as well. Do not attempt to hug them, the humans will know-" "What about the humans? Can we get them to escape? However Eden shook her head and sighed, "No... Not without the key that the humans had stolen from me just recently."

Koji gasped.

Chapter 3:

"What do you mean that the keys are stolen?" Koji snarled as she stared onto the serpent before of her. Watching her every move, she knew that serpents were crafty with their wording and style so much that it seems that many animals and humans alike were killed by this. However, she herself wasn't going to be fooled by her not ever as she waited for her response, the atmosphere had gone to silence. Eden was staring straight upon her, hissing often times that she could have although she was worried of the alternate universe. What would the humans wanted with this kind of technology? She wondered although it seems too advance for her or any of the other wolves or foxes alike to much of her dismay. She turned to Eden, she stared back in silence wagging her tail as she pondered over what to say. It seems then that Eden had beaten to it first as she raises her voice to speak, "However I do have the alternate key for the entrance. But not the exit key, it was stolen from me thanks to the humans it was their fault for leading me here let alone to steal my own island-" "Your island? This is our land, Serpent." Koji snarled back forcing the serpent to stop and narrowed her eyes straight upon her with another comeback, "I don't assure of your puny and pathetic island Koji, but I do care for my own. The humans are building things there, perhaps a base. Our-" "What do you us," Koji shot back again, as she stepped closer towards her, "There is no us in this alliance, Eden nor would there ever be. You tried to kill us back then and we had escaped down South to recruit BrokenShards, for we didn't offer any alliance to you assuring then that you would just back-" "We will not," Eden shouted and the room fell to silence after that.

There was silence between the two, while Koji had spotted Eden's tail wagging in silence she too was thinking. But was it of the same page as Koji? Thinking about it, she would be useful in finding out where the humans are and blast them down. However, will she be able to trust the serpent to deal with the ColorUnion? Cause from her own understanding she had tried to kill all two factions leaving the BrokenShards for a counter attack. What would she do if she tried to backstabbed them again, turning over to the humans. She thought this through although she just wanted another easy way out. She left all the causes to her allies, Ziran and Sevta to both of which were strangling each other by the necks. She still shook her head upon that. As she turned her attention towards her, she narrowed her eyes and stepped on forth. Ignoring the fact that she was closing in onto the serpent's territory, she stared straight onto her eyes and responded to the silence, "Fine but we are keeping an eye on you once this is over. One wrong move and you will find yourself isolated among the three way war." "Rest assure I will not betray you both!" Eden chimed happily, as Koji nodded her head turning tail she ran back into the darkness and out onto the door where Ziran and Sevta snarled grabbing hold upon her.

"What were you thinking!" They both shouted into her ear, as she had felt some ringing inside she widen her eyes surprised to see them both in one piece. For as she smiled upon them, she dusted her sides with her paws as she growled upon the other two who listened up with her, she soon fell to silence and raised her eyes upon them for with a grinned, she said concluding, "We are working temporary with the Serpents, Green Spheres." "You really are crazy," Ziran snarled, shaking his head as he closes his eyes he sighed and turned away while Sevta frowned and responded onto her, "Do you know what you are dealing with here?" "yes, but she seems to be the only way out to bring an end to the humans at all." "Sure yes... but what if she attacks us and hands us over to them-" "That isn't possible, Sevta." Koji spoke, shutting down the conversation as Sevta growled but obeyed to her laws. The trio smiled among themselves before Koji stepped forth towards the door, grabbing hold upon of it as she allowed the other two animals to get in. They both disappeared and left Koji to her own as she sighed, long before raising her eyes and smirked, her plan was coming along together quite nicely if she do say herself...
