I do not know what franchise Darkstalker728 is referring to here, but if any of you know then please explain to me.

Hope you enjoy!


In the Kingdom of Sand, a lone SandWing named Cobra walked his way through the streets of the town Possibility. He and his friends had been staying in a house there, and he was heading back with some food. As the SandWing turned onto the street the house was on, the ground started shaking violently. Without any hesitation, the SandWing leapt into the air to avoid any falling debris, only to be puzzled when he saw there was no damage happening to any of the structures.

Flying to the house where he and his friends were staying, he opened the door to be hit by a barrage of questions.

"Cobra, what was that?" the RainWing in their group, Lantana asked, as the rest of the members gathered around him, bombarding him with questions.

"I don't know!" the SandWing finally exploded. "Let's just go outside and see what we can find out!"

The rest of their group agreed, and the group of seven, one from each of the tribes on Pyrrhia, walked outside. Suddenly, the sky darkened and five figures appeared in the midst of them where they were visible to all. One was a two-dimensional yellow triangle with black arms and legs, a hat, and a single eye, cackling with maniacal laughter as his image appeared; the second was a dark-skinned man with a black suit, an amulet around his neck, and a cane of some kind in his hand; the third was an elderly man dressed in black robes, his facial features hidden by the hood he wore; the fourth a blood-red ghost-like spirit with a cruel metal helmet and sword as the only noticeable features in his form; the fifth a human boy of 18 with brown hair, blue eyes, and a smirk that seemed to regard them with amusement. From all of them, the group could feel powerful forces surrounding them, each varying in power.

Cobra raised his barbed tail, the poisonous barb catching the light as he brought himself into a crouch. Lantana bared her fangs at them, hissing, while their MudWing Lilly crouched behind them all. Frostbite, the IceWing of their group, bared his teeth at the figures as a hint of frostbreath escaped from between his teeth, his serrated claws digging into the ground. The SkyWing, NightWing, and SeaWing of their group also got into crouches, eyeing the strange figures.

Cobra spoke first. "I know that they won't understand us, and if they answer we won't understand them, but how did scavengers get this powerful?"

The figures looked to them, the the triangular figure spoke despite having no mouth, and they were surprised to find that they could understand what he was saying.

"Greetings, dragon-like beings! The name's Bill Cipher, and these are the people I work for!" the one-eyed entity announced, his voice heard throughout the entire town. Cobra narrowed his black eyes. The SandWing glanced at his friends, before looking back.

"My name's Cobra. Now, please do be so polite as to explain why you are here before I lose my patience and stab you in your thrice-moon blasted hearts," The SandWing growled, not caring that all his friends except Frostbite inhaled sharply due to his harsh tone. The IceWing hissed in agreement.

"Yes, do tell us why you're here," Frostbite growled, expelling some of his frostbreath into the air. The boy in the center raised his eyebrow when he noticed Frostbite's breath, but shrugged it off and spoke, once again surprising them by being able to understand him.

"I am called TD," the entity spoke. "And I've come to offer you a proposition. We are engaged in a war that had brought your world colliding with our own worlds. We have been at a stalemate for the longest of times, and we could use your help." He snapped his fingers and in a flash of light, a chest filled with gold and gems appeared out of nowhere. "Fight by my side, and I will grant you whatever your heart desires. Money, fame, riches, infinite power, your own galaxy... You name the price, I'm willing to pay it."

The elderly man spoke to TD, but unlike from before, they couldn't understand what he said. However, they did know that the old man's voice did not sound too pleasant. Cobra didn't even hesitate.

"No. Our world just recently got out of a war between all of our tribes that lasted for around twenty years. We aren't getting involved in another one," He growled, and his friends nodded. The SandWing looked straight at TD. "Now I suggest you get going from our lands before I stab you through the heart."

The SandWing took a step forwards, raising his barbed tail threateningly. TD sighed, then suddenly a massive shockwave of energy erupted from his body and threw them backwards from them. They were stunned, as the power they had felt was beyond anything they had ever encountered.

"You dare to threaten me?!" TD demanded with a cackle, red lightning flying around his form. "I'm the most powerful being in existence! If you won''t join me, then you'll die like everyone else that opposed my rule!"

Cobra struggled to his talons, glaring at TD.

"We'll see about that," He growled, before snapping, "Door! Fly off and smash TD in the face!"

The door of the house they had been staying in ripped itself off it's hinges, hurtling through the air towards TD. TD was surprised, but then made a swiping motion with his hand. The door was cut in half down the middle by an unseen force and sailed harmlessly past him and his men.

"Cipher," TD spoke, "I've got the feeling we're unwelcome here."

Cipher's one eye smirked wickedly.

"Time to eat nightmares, dragon freaks!" he shouted, his voice suddenly demonic as several blasts of energy erupted from his body at once and headed for the figures before him. But just before they reached, a reddish blur suddenly rushed by and Cipher let out a scream as his arm fell to the ground, severed from his body. The magic beams also disappeared as well. Turning to look, the dragons saw a small figure, barely 3-and-a-half feet tall standing before them, his attention fixed on the evil entities. A sword was in his hand, and it dripped of a blood-like fluid. Cobra narrowed his eyes, now uncertain of what to do. Frostbite had finally managed to get up, and the IceWing had a furious look in his eyes.

"Don't ever do that again!" He roared, before blasting frostbreath at TD.

"And there goes the freezing death breath attack," Lantana muttered sarcastically. TD looked alarmed, but then the man with the amulet got in the way and a fiery blast erupted from his hands and made the ice disperse. As it did, Cipher's arm grew back and he looked mad. But before they could do anything, a shadow fell upon them and they looked up to see a large spaceship.

"Fall back boys," TD ordered his men. "They win this round."

They all disappeared in different fashions; flashes of light, fiery explosions, or clouds of smoke. The last to leave was the red spirit, who looked at them with a steely gaze, his expression unseen in the hollow void where his face should've been behind the helmet.

"You have doomed yourself and your universe," he spoke in an icy voice that echoed throughout the town. "Prepare, for your days are numbered."

He then disappeared in a column of fire. The figure from before waited until they were gone before sheathing his sword. It was then that they took time to notice that he was some kind of anthropomorphic fox. Cobra stepped forwards, his tail pointing towards the fox.

"We don't want any trouble," The SandWing hissed, his voice cold. "We want explanations. And we want them now."

Frostbite hissed in agreement, more of his frostbreath coming from his mouth. The fox turned to them, then spoke something as he raised his hands in a friendly gesture. They couldn't understand what he had said, but it was clear he was trying to show them that he wasn't hostile. Then he held up his hand in an apologetic manner, as his gloves glowed. Then he spoke again, this time in a different language; again, they could not understand him. He tried the same thing again, and this time they understood him perfectly.

"Can you understand me now?" he asked in a friendly tone, apparently repeating his earlier sentence by the way he had spoken. Cobra nodded, lowering his tail, before he glanced at his friends.

"I guess he's good," He murmured, and they relaxed, although Frostbite was still eyeing him like he wanted a fight, which caused their SeaWing, Whitetip, to whack the IceWing upside the head with his tail.

"Okay, good. It took me awhile, but I managed to get the right psychic waves out to translate," he said to them. Something went off in his ear, and he placed a finger to it, apparently talking to someone else.

"It's cool guys; they're friendlies. They're just a bit confused," the fox said. "Miles, I'm gonna need some more translators. Seven should do the trick for now." A response was given and he turned back to them. "Where are my manners?" He held out his hand. "The name's Bill Prower." Cobra smiled.

"My name's Cobra," The SandWing said, before he gestured to Frostbite. "Our temperamental friend here is Frostbite..." He then pointed to Lantana. "...This is Lantana, the brown one is Lilly..." He pointed to the MudWing, before moving on to Whitetip. "...This is Whitetip, the black one is Nightreader..." He pointed at his NightWing friend, before finally pointing at Shadowstalker. "...And this here is Shadowstalker." The SandWing stepped forwards and held out a talon, curling his tail up neatly as to keep the barb safe. "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Likewise," Bill said with a shake of his talon. "Now, you all deserve an explanation. We were coming to warn you, but apparently you've already met our enemies, as well as the one who's responsible for your world colliding with ours."

Just then, a beam of some kind fell to the ground and two more figures floated lightly to the ground; Princess Celestia and Admiral Terrence Hood. Bill noticed them and smiled.

"Oh, these are my friends, whom I'm sure you'd like to meet too," he said. "And until my nephew arrives with the translators, I'll act as one for you."

Cobra looked at the two figures, before he glanced back down at Bill.

"I think I can take care of that." The SandWing said with a sly grin, before he touched his own neck and murmured. "I enchant myself to be able to understand any sort of language, and for what I am saying to be understood throughout any language."

He looked up at Princess Celestia after he cast the spell.

"Welcome to Pyrrhia," The SandWing greeted with a kind smile. "Pleased to meet you."

Celestia made a polite bow, not at all surprised that she could understand him.

"Pleased to meet you too," she said. "I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, and this human besides me is my ally."

"Admiral Terrence Hood of the UNSC Marines," the admiral greeted. "It's an honor."

"Cobra of the SandWings." Cobra said. "Now I think we're owed some sort of explanation about what just happened."

The dragon didn't make it a firm statement, but there was an undertone to his voice that made it clear he wouldn't take lightly to not getting one soon. Celestia nodded, then proceeded to give a shortened version of all the details that were needed to be known, including TD's original alignment with her subjects and how their worlds had been brought together.

"...and then we were alerted of another world entering the fray. I presume you all know what happened next," she concluded. Cobra grunted.

"Yeah, we know," He growled angrily.

The Admiral sighed. "I understand that you may not wish to be involved in another war, but at this point I don't think you have a choice."

"If you don't help us, then all of us, your world included, will die," Bill finished bluntly. Cobra glanced at his friends, before nodding.

"I think each of our tribes Queen will see the reason behind joining this fight. Me and my friends will join you, even if it is before our queens give us permission." The SandWing said, his face splitting into a grin. Bill smiled as well.

"Glad to know who's side you're on," he replied, then added, "Send word to your queens, then meet us back here to discuss matters more fluently."

Cobra's face adopted a sheepish look.

"Yeah, about that... the different tribes live spread out across Pyrrhia in different kingdoms... right now we're in the Kingdom of Sand. The only way to get a message to them quickly would be..." The SandWing trailed off, before saying softly, "To use Animus magic."

Lantana shot him a worried look behind his back, which coupled with the compassion in her eyes when she looked at him made it obvious she liked him.

Bill smirked.

"Or, we can use these," he said, then whistled loudly. When he did, ten or twenty small orb-like robots flew down to him. He grinned.

"These can broadcast our messages all across your entire world," he explained. "In a matter of minutes, all of your world can be notified of the danger, as well as what else may be needed to say."

Cobra nodded.

"Everyone will be shocked to see them at first, but is safer then me using my magic." The SandWing said. "Do it."

"Alright..."

Bill made some motions with his hands and all but one of the bots took off, disappearing into mini portals as they went. The one that remained floated in front of Bill and made a screen appear in midair. The fox waited for ten seconds, then pressed a button on a remote he was holding. When he did, the screen showcased the faces of all seven queens of the tribes of Pyrrhia. Cobra smirked when he saw two of the screens showed the same dragon.

"Forgot to tell you; RainWings and NightWings share a Queen," He said. "Queen Glory..." He gestured at the RainWing that was shown twice. "Queen Coral..." He gestured at the SeaWing queen. "Queen Ruby..." He pointed at the SkyWing queen. "Queen Moorhen..." He pointed at the MudWing queen. "Queen Thorn..." He pointed at the SandWing queen. "And then finally, Queen Snowfall..." He pointed at the IceWing queen.

Bill chuckled and pressed another button that made the unnecessary second screen of the same queen disappear. Then he addressed them all.

"Greetings, Your Majesties, and to your subjects," he spoke calmly and kindly. "Please, do not be alarmed; we are not your enemy. My name is Bill Prower of Mobius, and I am here to send you a warning, as well as offer our hand in friendship and alliance with you..." The fox then proceeded to explain the situation in full to them, showing only seriousness in his expression before concluding his speech. "...and while I understand that this is asking you and your subjects to take a great risk, that is exactly what is at stake even if you don't help."

Each of the Queens seemed to be deep in thought, before Thorn spoke up.

"The SandWings will stand by you," Queen Thorn announced.

"And so shall the RainWings and NightWings," Queen Glory added.

"The SkyWings will be glad to help out," Queen Ruby spoke up then.

"I guess the SeaWings will also aid you," Queen Coral said slowly.

"The MudWings will aid your efforts," Queen Moorhen stated.

Finally, only Queen Snowfall hadn't spoken. The IceWing queen seemed to think for a few more seconds, before nodding once.

"The IceWings will also help in your endeavor," She pronounced. All the members of the tribes present that were in Cobra's group let out a sigh of relief, the SandWing included. Bill and the leaders beside him smiled in satisfaction.

"Now then, if I can get the council together, I suppose we can discuss our next plan of action," he proclaimed.


*Some time later...*

The council was assembled, and as before those who could not show up in person, which this time was more than half its members, showed up as holographic images.

"Well, hello there!" Doctor Hooves/The Doctor exclaimed with excited interest at the sight of the dragon creatures. "These are quite a remarkable species!"

"Eh, they look like they can do their jobs well," Red remarked.

"Red, be polite," Tails scolded the hedgehog lightly, before returning gazes back to the queens and those in Cobra's group. Bill, they noticed, chuckled a bit at Red's comment.

"Hasn't changed much after all these years," he said to himself. Cobra kept his tail neatly curled in a circle, his black eyes roaming over the members of the council one-by-one.

"Well, you all are certainly a varied group," He remarked after a few minutes, earning himself a whack over the head, courtesy of Lantana.

"Varied we are, but close allies too," Master Yoda chuckled.

"It is out of necessity that we are this varied," Firelord Zuko stated. "Otherwise we probably wouldn't even know that other worlds like your own existed."

"If I may ask, why are so many of you not able to be present?" Bill inquired. "Some of you aren't even showing up on holograms."

"Our forces are being stretched thin as we try to combat our enemy," Ozpin/Oscar replied. "Salem has sent her Grimm to slow down their advances, but that will only delay the inevitable. In short, we our in need of reinforcements and fast."

"Reinforcements? That's putting it lightly," Anakin said sarcastically. "At this rate, we'll need a new army."

"Hey, don't push them kid," Stan Pines warned on his hologram. "They've barely even gotten here, and we'll have to be content with what they can offer us. " He looked up with wide eyes as if registering his own words. "Wow, never thought I'd say that."

Cobra let a grim smile cross his face as he turned towards one half of the door he had used to attack TD.

"Door, fly over to me and turn into a staff that I can use," Cobra snapped, and the half of the door suddenly shot towards him, shifting into a long staff that the dragon caught in his talon, gripping it tightly. Everyone was amazed at this display of power.

"Can TD do that?" Rarity asked Applejack.

"Ah think he can; he just never had a reason to," was the reply. Cobra planted one end of his new staff on the ground, his black eyes looking at the council members.

"My friends and I will help out as much as we can until the tribes armies are assembled." The SandWing said, and all his friends nodded their agreement. Lantana even let a sly smile cross her face as her scales seemed to shimmer, before she melted into her surroundings. A few seconds later, a claw tapped Red's shoulder.

"Boo," Lantana said, although she still wasn't visible.

"Boo yourself," Red replied. "I like that trick though..."

"It could come in handy... like right about now!" the hologram image of the Genie shouted as they saw him firing blasts of magic out at something in the distance. Soon, a lot of the holograms started going dark as well.

"What's going on?!" Bill demanded, his nephew beside him looking a bit scared at what he was hearing.

"They've started their offense!" Ruby shouted over her hologram.

"Get down here ASAP! We're being overrun!" a Marine officer shouted. Cobra glanced at Frostbite, who grinned at the SandWing, frostbreath coming from his mouth. Lantana materialized again, a smile on her face.

"We're coming to help," Cobra said. "Between mine and Whitetip's animus powers, Shadowstrike and Lilly's fighting capabilities, Lantana's camouflage and her magical death spit, Frostbite's frostbreath, and Nightreader's future sight, I think we can be helpful."

The SandWing raised his staff, twirling it in one talon as he raised his barbed tail up over his back. Bill nodded, then called into his coms.

"Get me a dimensional jumper on my position! The cavalry is coming!" He then looked to the dragons and pulled out some kind of earpieces just their sizes, one for each. "Put these on; it'll help our guys understand what you say to them. It'll also let them know that you're on their side."

Cobra nodded, taking them and handing them to his friends, putting his on before looking at Bill.

"Will we have any other fighters there?" He asked. "We'll need allies who know what we're up against, since we don't really."

"There should be at least one of our elite squads at the locations I'll be sending you to," Bill replied as a portal suddenly appeared nearby. "Out of necessity, I'm afraid I'll have to send you guys to separate locations."

Cobra nodded, before he looked at Lantana.

"Be safe," he said softly.

The RainWing looked at him wryly. "I'll be as safe as possible when one's going into a battle," She said sarcastically, and the SandWing blushed.

"You know what I meant," he mumbled.

"While I hate to break it up, you can kiss each other later," Red abruptly stated, suddenly acting very serious. "Let's move."

Bill shook his head in amusement, then further explained, "Three of you will be sent to the fighting near Reach, as that's where a large portion of the fight seems to be at. Two more will be sent to the fight in Equestria, and the remaining will be sent to the fight outside the Fire Nation." Just then, his coms beeped and he spoke into it. "Go ahead."

"This is Red Team!" a Clone's voice called, which the dragons could hear too through their earpieces. "My squad is pinned down with Generals Ruby and Weiss. We need backup!"

"Hang on! We're coming!" Bill answered, then looked to the dragons. "Guess I know where I'm headed."

"And me!" Red shouted, jumping through the portal. Tails started as well, but Bill stopped him.

"Not this time Miles," he said gently. "They need you back at Central Command. I know you want to help, but for now please inform us from there. We need your eyes in the sky."

The two-tailed fox nodded and was taken back up into the Elite ship above him.

"We'll return to the battlefield as soon as possible," an Elite's voice said over the coms as the ship left the atmosphere. "Good luck, General Prower!"

Cobra looked at his friends, before looking at Bill.

"Which of us should come with you to help out this Red Team?" he asked. "Because I'd like to come with you."

"I can't decide that, unless you and I enter at the same time," Bill stated. "So... I guess come with me then."

Cobra nodded. "Okay. Whenever you're ready," The SandWing said.

"Alright then... Geronimo!" Bill shouted as he rushed into the portal with Cobra. On the other side, they found themselves in the Equestrian lands, an entire horde of Flood, Battle Droids, Trolls, Badniks, and skeletal warriors charging towards a small group of the heroes' soldiers, specifically Red Team and Ruby and Weiss, who were desperately trying to fight back the horde. Cobra growled, before he threw his staff into the air, yelling, "Staff, knock back any enemies who get to close to them!" The staff flew through the air, slamming into enemies.

Cobra glanced at Bill. "Once they break it, they'll focus on us again. I just bought us a few minutes at the max," the SandWing explained.

"A few minutes is more than enough time," Bill said with a grin as he drew his sword. They approached the squad, whom Red had gotten to before them. Ruby's eyes lit up when she saw Cobra.

"Oh my gosh! It's an actual dragon! And he's on our side!" she squealed. Weiss just rolled her eyes.

"About time you showed up!" she stated. "What took you so long?"

"Nice to see you too, Ice Queen," Red remarked.

"Hey!" she shouted.

"Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty! Now stop bickering and help out!" T-bone growled as he fired some more rounds at the enemy. Crystal rolled her eyes before firing a spell at the enemy, knocking a few down. Cobra looked out at the battlefield before he spread his wings, taking to the sky as he soared upwards.

"Enchant my scales to protect me from any sort of harm," he said seemingly to himself, before he dove downwards at a high speed, opening his mouth and breathing a burst of fire on the enemy as he flew overhead. Scores of the enemy were burned to ashes by this attack, and some started firing up at him too, but in vain. As he did this, Bill and Red gave each other a knowing glance. While Bill used his psychic powers to levitate a ton of rocks and debris into the air and send them raining down upon the enemy, Red activated the Phantom Ruby, turned into Infinite, and created an army of duplicates from those present, giving them a leg up against the enemy. Red then personally flew in among enemy fire and into their ranks, striking left and right at the enemies present. Cobra came down and landed, before he stared attacking the enemy with both his claws and his tail, stabbing and slashing as he waded through their ranks. The enemy started to attack him with little results, although at one point Bill jumped in as well and sliced apart an entire group of Flood infection forms.

"Don't let the small ones get too close!" he warned. "They'll forcefully invade your nervous system, killing you from the inside out, then use your body against us!"

"Remind me to make more of the vaccines when this is over," Red/Infinite grumbled from nearby. Cobra nodded, before he let out another blast of fire, catching some more of the enemy on fire. But this attack only seemed to annoy the enemy and no progress seemed to be made. It looked as though the enemy might barely win this fight.

The horde of Grimm hitting them from the side changed that. The enemy was unprepared for the horde of the monsters, as they had not expected a counterattack, especially from their flanks. All at once, chaos started to ensue among the enemy ranks and some of their soldiers began to panic and run about aimlessly before they were dealt with.
"I never thought I'd ever be this happy to see the Grimm in all my life," Weiss stated breathlessly as they watched the enemy slowly being torn apart by the Grimm. Her fatigue showed visible evidence that she and her teammates could not have kept that fight up much longer. Indeed, the only one who showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever was Red, who had powered down back into his original form as soon as the Grimm had started to plow through the enemy. Cobra took a gasping breath, worn out. He looked enviously at Red.

"Okay, how in the three moons are you not worn out?" He asked, his black eyes focused on Red.

"No lungs," the hedgehog replied bluntly, as if it was common knowledge.

"He was created in a lab to be a weapon," Bill explained. "It works."

Cobra let out a disgruntled grunt.

"Oh," He muttered. "That actually makes more sense now."

The SandWing curled his tail into a tight coil to keep the barb from accidentally stabbing any of his allies.

"Hence the reason I'm not complaining," Bill added. "As long as he's on our side, why should I complain?"

"I'm not on anyone's side Bill," Red stated. "In truth, I would just as sooner join them if I had a good reason to. But no one messes with my family."

Cobra nodded. "At least we have something in common," The SandWing murmured. "If any harm were to come to my friends, I'd make the life of those who harmed them a life of pain." He glanced around, before muttering, "Staff, return to my talon."

His staff shot through the air, slamming hard into his talon and causing Cobra to wince, moving it to his other talon and shaking his now sore one.

"Yep, really should have thought that through," He said bitterly. Red laughed a bit, then looked to something behind him.

"Watch out!" he warned, jumping towards a Flood Form that had remained dormant until now. The hedgehog landed on the parasitic creature's stolen body and then exploded, tearing it to pieces and preventing it from coming alive again. Cobra was utterly surprised to find that Red was completely unharmed by the explosion.

"I'm still trying to get used to that," Ruby stated. "It's one of the main reasons I'm cautious about trying to hug him."

The SandWing eyes the hedgehog warily, his grip on his staff tightening.

"Yeah, I've just decided I never want to have to fight you," Cobra said to Red. "Like, ever."

"Oh trust me, you're not the first to say that," Red remarked. "It's understandable. But at this rate, you won't have to. Anyone who's a friend of Bill Prower is a friend of mine." He looked at the Grimm horde, which was now moving on through a sickly-red portal, presumably to help out somewhere else. "Anyone know where there's a good pub around here?"

"Red, not in front of the kids," Bill pointed out, referring mostly to Ruby.

"Oh... sorry," Red apologized. "But in all seriousness, can these guys give us a break?!" He demanded, gesturing to the now-destroyed enemies around them. "We gave them a pretty long grace period in my opinion!"

Crystal let out a snort, her blue eyes narrowed at the bodies around them.

"It seems that our enemies are trying to forcefully tire us out now," The unicorn noted. "Maybe they're hoping to slowly whittle us down?"

"It worked in Vietnam," Pug remarked, coming over beside her with the rest of her squad, one of whom was a new member. Red Team had just received a new bender to make up for Kurai; a Waterbender named Kira. She understood the loss that Red Team had felt when Kurai had died and she understood as well that she could never replace the Firebender, but she was still willing to perform to the best of her ability for the team.

"Ah... I've heard my dad speak about those stories before," Red stated. "Terrible war that the US probably should've stayed out of."

"Red, you don't technically have a dad," Bill reminded him.

"Oh, sorry. I guess some of me still remembers being a part of TD," the hedgehog sighed. Cobra appeared to be deep in thought, before he suddenly spoke up.

"You know, once the SkyWings get here we'll be able to inflict a whole lot of damage thanks to Dragonflame Cacti," He said, not remembering they had no idea what a Dragonflame Cactus was.

"I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like it could do some serious damage!" Red exclaimed with glee, suddenly looking very creepy. The ended quickly when Bill smacked him with the hilt of his sword.

"The heck is wrong with you?" he demanded.

"I don't know..." Red murmured.

"If those cacti are as good as you make them sound, this war could turn around in a heartbeat," T-bone agreed.

"Dragonflame Cacti are essentially spherical cacti the size of... well, I'm not actually certain how big they are," the SandWing explained. "The SkyWings use them because when you light one on fire it explodes, showering it's surrounding with hundreds of spike-covered seeds. They inflict a whole lot of damage. The SkyWings do aerial drops with them."

"Okay... That sounds awesome!" Ruby exclaimed. "We need some of those!"

"Mind if I keep a few after all this?" Red asked. "I'd really like to study one of those things, now that my curiosity has spiked."

"Save your research for later, pincushion," Weiss replied coolly. "We still have a war to win."

"Agreed, and I think I know where to strike our own offensive," Bill remarked. "Once the Pyrrhians are ready to mobilize, we're turning the tides against TD."

Cobra smiled. "Can't wait." The SandWing said as he uncoiled his tail, arcing it over his back. "I really want to show that TD fellow that I don't take lightly to him attacking me and my friends." He glanced at his tail, then at his new allies. "Also, please be careful of the tail. SandWing poison can only be cured by a cactus that grows in the Sand Kingdom, and I think we'd all prefer not to have to go through that ordeal."

"Oh... then I'm safe," Red remarked. "But still, just don't."

"Yeah, he's been hit by all kinds of 'incurable' poisons, and he just shakes it off like nothing," Bill explained.

"So... where do we strike?" Weiss asked. Bill smirked as he looked out in the distance towards the area where all their worlds were connected by a single portal.

"We're gonna cut off the head of the snake," he stated.


Dun dun dun!

What a way to end that chapter! Cya in the next one!
