Chapter 5- To The Sky! (There will be cursing in the chapter)

(Yes, the time has come for the Phoenix to come back….enjoy.)

(I also came up with the idea that the Ice Bears now live in the sun...read on.)

...The Sun. What can I say about it? Well, it's hot, for one thing. No one can live on it. It has solar radiation-WHAT WAS THAT?-

….Okay, I think whatever that was is gone now…

I stand corrected….I'm going to run far away now…..goodbye.

A Speedor raced across the fiery plains, dodging various plumes of fire. Inside the craft, five animals were roaring at the top of their lungs in time to a radio: "We're the Ice Bears! We're the Ice Bears! We kick ass! We're the Ice Bears!" They continued this for minutes on end.

"Hey, Icebite, I've gotta message from da boss. You wanna read it?" Icebite snatched the telegraph (how did it not disintegrate?) from Icerlot's paws. "...Letz see here….Fangar want's us ta go back ta Chima to help wit' some invadars." "Really?" "Yeah. Shall we go?" The Ice Bears roared their approval. "LET'Z GOOOOO!"

Fangar was somewhat dreading the Ice Bears coming back. He hadn't approved of their behavior before, and now that there were outsiders...it was just a huge mess that never seemed to end.

"Sir!" Strainor ran up to his leader, bent over. "...Yes?" he got his breath back and looked up at Sir Fangar. "...They're alive." Fangar leaned forwards in his Throne. "Who?" Strainor seems to be smiling, something that he never did. "Link and Laval, of course."

Fangar gathered the former Ice Clan together in his Fortress. He exclaimed that they would be visiting the Outlands. "As you may or may not have heard, the Lion Princes have come back from the dead. How and why, I have no answers. But, you all remember Draco, right? The Dragon?" Across the room, everyone was nodding. "Good. Well, he got word to me the location of the camp...and, and, Lord Fluminox has come back." Across the room, the cheers grew louder than before. So loud, in fact, that Fangar had to frantically yell at them to stop. "You fools! If you carry on like this, the whole ceiling will collapse on us!" That shut them up.

A few hours later, the Ice Clan was venturing out of their territory for the first time in over a year. It went smoothly for the first half-hour, but then Fangar began to hear what sounded like drunken beasts singing off key. Badly. "...For the love of…." All he could do was shut his eyes and clench his canines together as a song struck up a bit behind his Speedor. "We're DA ICE BEARZ! WE'RE DA ICE BEARZ!" Seconds later, Icebite and his gang of Ice Bears pulled up next to him. "We got your lettar, boss!" Fangar merely nodded, struggling to keep his cool (get it? ...No? ….I'll leave now…). "...Yes….so you did." "Oh, we also messed with this reeaallly big blue furry guy. He had a trident. Didn't do shit to us, though. AMIRIGHT?" "YEEEEEAAAHHHH BBBBOOOIIIIIII!" Fangar only put his face in his paws and started to shake his head. "...Kill me now….please…."

MEANWHILE, somewhere VERY far away….

Lord Fluminox stared out over Chima from his window in his chamber. He hadn't wanted to return, per say, but he was needed. As was everyone else. Including him.

He had received word that the Lion Princes had somehow come back to life after being dead for a year. How that had happened, even he had no clue.

Flinx had grown over the year, his wings blazed even brighter than they had when he had become the Ninth Phoenix that helped with the Illumination two years ago.

Right now, he was helping Tormak with guard duty. "...Have you spoken with your father recently?" "No sir. I have not." Before either of them could reply, a familiar face flew over their heads. "...Was that Eris?" Tormak nodded. "Yes. Let's catch her."

Before long, Eris had talked to them about the Dogs, the Praying Mantis, and other things. "So you say that Link and Laval are alive?" "Yes! They are alive, but they're dealing with memory loss...also, guess who else found us? Razar, Lauren, and Draco!" Even Tormak grinned at this. "...So...Even the Animagus survived….tell me, they cannot get home yet?" Eris shook her head. "No. Lauren says that those 'Time-Stones' they used to get here aren't working. But, she says she can get them running again…" Flinx spoke up then. "...Could they come up here, perhaps?" "Yes, my son. And it's not can, it's must. We cannot endanger the survivors no longer. They must be brought up here." Fluminox walked down the stair towards the now gathering group. "Do you know where the camp is?" Tormak nodded. "Yes. I'll send troops there as soon as possible."

One by one, they left Mount Cavora for the surface below. Fluminox, Foltrax, and Firox took to the skies in the biggest vehicle in Chima, the Blazing Bastion, a massive fire-bird which could fire Fire lasers created from Fire Chi.

Meanwhile, in the camp….

Draco had calmed down. Somewhat. He had stopped cursing, which could have been either good or bad. Right now, the small group was located in Link's tent, telling everyone what had happened to them (as far as they knew) over the course of the last year. That is, until Tormak and the others arrived.

To make a long story short, the camp was evacuated, and not a moment too soon, because as soon as the Blazing Bastion lifted off into the sky, Ganon and the others attacked the camp.

From the flight deck of the Blazing Bastion, Chima was revealed in all its glory. "...Makes you see things differently, huh?" Link turned to see that Flinx was standing next to him. "It does." "Link." He turned to Fluminox, who was walking towards him with his Fire-Staff in his left wing. "Fluminox." "I have a request of you." "Yes?" "...Would you be willing to try Fire Chi again?"

(It's going to end here, folks. For now.)
