The Poachers in Jasper had been put down but although this was a victory the team had gotten a message from the land of Chima. Laval the lion had contacted them to say that the hunters and crawlers may have reemerged. These were deadly foes, both of whom nearly brought Chima to its knees. The hunters were tribes of mammoths, vultures, polar bears and saber tooth tigers, who had ice making up parts of their decaying bodies. Laval didn't understand how the hunters could be back, because they had been cured of the icy power that corrupted their bodies. Nevertheless investigating what was going on in Chima was a high priority. Kate and Humphrey left their pups with Kate's parents, and boarded the typhoon to assist Alex and Toothdee in Chima. The ship launched from Jasper, set a corse for South American, and set off. Within due time, the typhoon arrived in the beautiful land of Chima. The whole land was an island floating high above the Amazon jungle, with amazing waterfalls flowing off of the island. It was certainly an amazing sight to see, how this massive piece of land managed to hover in the air was beyond anyone, but that's didn't change the beauty of Chima. As the typhoon flew over the forest Alex looked down at the lush vegetation all over chima. Beautiful colors and shapes were abundant in this land that teemed with life. On the ground below, a pair of crocodiles looked up and smiled as they saw the typhoon flying overhead. The ship moved closer towards the center of Chima, and mount kavora. A huge chunk of floating rock with animal faces carved into it. The Life giving, glowing blue waters of chi flowed down from the mountain and into the lion chi temple. At the top of mount kavora was a flat surface, which was wear the city of the legendary Phoenix was until they left after the defeat of the hunters.
The typhoon touched down on the flat ground in front of the massive castle that was the lion city and chi temple. Waiting outside the ship were a bunch of animals, that either wanted to see Alex and the team, or were there to guard them. But standing apart from the ground of animals were the 8 heroes, The best that the tribes of Chima had to offer. These heroes included laval the lion, eris the eagle, cragger the crocodile, gorzan the gorilla, worizz the wolf, razar the raven, rogon the rhino, and bladvic the bear. They were amazing warriors and had saved Chima on numerous occasions. The door on the typhoon opened and Alex, toothdee, Kate and Humphrey walked out to be met with cheers from the assembled crowd. The 8 heroes walked towards Alex and his team, apart from bladvic who had fallen asleep. Alex and laval grabbed each other's hands, pulled themselves close and patted each other on the back.
"It's good to see you again" Alex said.
"The same to you" laval responded.
Kate, gorzan and rogon had begun talking while Humphrey and worriz got into a howling contest, with razar trying to get the crowd nearby to place bets. Cragger, eris and toothdee exchanged a few words before joining laval and Alex. Cragger and Alex did the same greeting that Alex and laval had did, but when Alex patted the crocodile on the back his hand hit something sharp.
"Ow" Alex said shanking his hand from whatever had spiked it, possibly a sharp part of craggers scales or a decorative tooth.
"Sorry" cragger said as eris and Alex exchanged a hug.
"Let's get down to business" Alex said to laval. "I read your report, this is not good"
"Your telling me" laval responded. "We've been getting reports from scouts and explorers claiming to have seen hunters and crawlers moving about out there"
"I thought the hunters were friendly, and even if they weren't how did the get their ice powers back?"
"That's what I thought too. They were having a lot of fun at the holiday party, and now we think they are preparing for another attack."
"Well coming to the holiday party might not be to much of a stretch. In world war 1 both sides called a truce on Christmas and they hung out together"
"Yeah good point, but if the hunters have their ice powers back how are we supposed to win? We don't have any fire chi."
Alex thought for a moment. "Well maybe the Phoenix are watching us and they might be able to tell if we need them or not. Eris have you seen any visions?"
"No not yet" she said. "I haven't had one in a while. But the Phoenix don't determine my visions."
"Hmm well I suggest we get out there and see for ourselves what's happening"
"We've already prepared vehicles for this situation." Laval said gesturing to a group of vehicles nearby.
In the group was Eris's eagle jet, rogons rock flinger, craggers fire striker, and a few speedorz.
"Great, then let's get started" Alex said as toothdee retrieved speedorz from the typhoon. Alex Toothdee and laval climbed on their speedorz, as worriz and cragger climbed into the fire striker. Eris hopped in her jet and everyone else climbed into rogons rock flanger.
"Want to have a race later?" Laval asked.
"Should be fun" Alex said nodding, as the group took off into the tree line.
