Episode 3: The War of Iron and Bronze
This episode starts where the last one ended with Bellcross having just been rescued by Artemia. As the other Nodos appear they begin fighting and destroy many of the Bronze Tribe fleet. With Bellcross wounded Lernaea begins to fight with Skorch and using his corrosive gas he seems to be hurting Skorch and then Erymanthos appears and strikes Skorch in the back. Skorch is unimpressed and tries to hit Erymanthos but misses as she disappears. He then turns to face Lernaea and says "it looks like I have no choice" with that a spike begins to grow out of his back and he then grabs the spike and pulls it out until it's about the same size he is. Lernaea wastes no time and attacks with his gas but then Skorch spins the large spike like a staff and uses it deflect the attack. Just when Skorch was about to attack Kervius fires a vortex and Skorch barley managed to dodge it. Skorch was about to strike when in his head he hard Azmodan speak to him "that is enough Skorch. Rally the survivor and return to the hive."
Skorch Replied "but master Earth is right there we can't just-"
Azmodan interrupts "DO NOT QUESTION ME. Against 1 or 2 Nodos you would win but against 5 you are no match. Do not make me repeat my command".
Skorch replies "yes my master".
As the forces begin to pull back Azmodan watches through the eyes of one of the insects that are there and seeing the Nodos he says "so they managed to send the Nodos to help the Iron Tribe. A slight annoyance demanding a minor change in plans".
On Earth the other Nodos carry Bellcross to the shore to meet with Dhianeila and the other and when the Nodos land they turn back to their human forms. Aneasha and Karkinos work together to heal Age while Dhianeila asks the other Nodos how they got here.
Mehitak begins by saying "The Golden Tribe realized that they couldn't just leave the Iron Tribe to die but both them and the Silver Tribe would have been useless against the Bronze Tribe without their shields."
Lekty continues "we then offered to come here in order to help because our powers would not be affected."
Yuty concludes "so the Golden Tribe used their power to send us not only back to this universe, but straight to the battlefield to help Bellcross."
Meanwhile back at Azmodan's hive Skorch has just returned from the battle field and goes to meet Azmodan in his chambers.
"Why did you have me pull back master" Skorch says to Azmodan. "Earth was in our sights, it was right in front of me I could have-".
"Patience my general" Azmodan interrupts. We have waited thousands of years for our chance to rule, we can wait a little longer."
Skorch says "but what of the other Nodos".
Azmodan replies "yes, unexpected that they would come to protect the Iron Tribe, but not unforeseen. I have a plan. We will let the humans enjoy their small victory for now."
"But master" Skorch interrupts "what about Earth"
Azmodan replies "they lost their home planet once before, losing it again would only strengthen their resolve. No we will let them come to us and when they arrive we will crush all of their greatest champions in one place and show the universe who its true masters are."
Back on Earth the council meets to discuss the current situation. Mobeedo says "we can't just sit here and wait around for them to attack again. We need to strike back while they are still recovering"
Another Councilman responds "I agree, but we have no idea where this fleet even came from. They don't seem to be using any known star ways so we can't track them back to wherever they first came from.
"Maybe there is something else we can follow." Dhianeila says as she unexpectedly walks in. As everyone bows to her she says "Yuty noticed that when she arrived here her Hedron shield didn't work either so the energy that originally negated them must still be resonating. Yuty told me that she might be able to track the energy back to the source." Everyone in the room is in awe.
Mobeedo says "can that really be done."
Dhianeila replies "yes but it may take some time."
Mobeedo says "make sure everyone is ready because as soon as we know where to go we will move out immediately."
In outer space the fleet begins to gather with the Argonaut in front and in the Argonaut are all the Nodos except Yuty.
Mehitak asks "Do you think that they can find them."
Age replies "if Yuty and Dhianeila work together I'm sure that they can".
Yuty and Dhianeila, using spiritual projections, are out in space trying to find where Azmodan is.
"Have you found anything?" Dhianeila asks.
"Not yet" replies Yuty. Suddenly Yuty senses something. "There they are" announces Yuty.
Suddenly on the Argonaut the ship receives the coordinates and Mobeedo says "everyone get ready to warp. It's time to take the fight to Azmodan."
