Welcome back everyone for the new chapter, the final chapter of the civil war ark. I recommend listening to Metallica and the San Fransisco orchestra's "Battery". It fits this perfectly.

And I am going to say this again, and probably another hundred times. Please make accounts so I can respond to you. I hate that I can't when you're just using a guest account.

The sun was rising over the mountains of the Sky Kingdom, illuminating Ruby's palace and waking the Kingdom below.

Scarlet's forces were already awake, they knew that Ruby should be pushing the stronghold any day now.

The soldiers were quietly guarding the stronghold walls, looking into the air around them, waiting for an army to appear.

What he was not expecting was for only three dragons to be flying toward them.

Surely this wasn't the invading force, only three dragons strong? They didn't even look like they were adults yet. And is that a RainWing? It was hard to tell, they were flying in the sight of the sun.

The guard looked to his commander on the wall with a questioning look. "Kill them, Scarlet told us to kill anybody that wasn't with us," The commander ordered.

The guard flew up to intercept the dragons, thinking this would be easy with them not even being adults yet.

Finally getting out of the sun's rays, he could see properly who the dragonets were. His eyes growing wide in fear, "I am going to need backup!"

With Tsunami's group

Tsunami was currently hovering over Scarlet's encampment in the woods. She was out of sight from them hovering in the clouds.

Tsunami looks over the group, "We are going to start out with a hit and run, I want all of us to hit them hard before they are ready!"

Tsunami makes the clouds form together tightly, making it start to slowly rain till it forms into a hard rain, eventually hearing thunder.

Smiling to herself, she looks back to the group and gives them a nod. Diving to the ground and bringing a pond size of water behind her. Smashing it right into the middle of the camp.

In the city

Starflight, Sunny, and Icicle were making their way through the houses and buildings in the city. Looking all around them for hostile looking SkyWings.

Starflight's head jerked to the east when he heard a small explosion.

"Looks like the raid started, that must have been Tsunami's group," Starflight said smiling.

Starflight looked at the three dragons that were following him, "We need to split up, me and Sunny will take the right side of the city, Icicle and Turtle will take the left," Starflight ordered.

Icicle immediately started to head left but was cut off by Starflight giving her a stern look.

"And Icicle... no killing anybody," Starflight said, deadly serious.

Icicle just scoffed at him and continued on her way, "Sure Nightwing, I won't harm anyone,"

Clay was currently fighting three different SkyWings, blocking two of them that were trying to claw him with an armored arm that he covered in rocks, and holding down a third SkyWing that he was currently trying to knock out.

Finally being able to throw the two Skywings that were on him, he swiftly knocked out the SkyWing below him and Peril blocked the SkyWings from charging again.

Glory was tying everyone up that were either knocked out or not paying enough attention.

Peril kept the rest of the SkyWings away from Clay, as he walked up to the gate on the stronghold.

Clay cocked back his talons and punched the gate off its hinges.

Tsunami was doing a flyby of the camp, a tsunami of water behind her that was tearing the camp apart and knocking SkyWings to the ground that didn't have time to react.

Riptide and the MudWings right behind her, nocking any dragon that got to close to the ground.

And then there was Anemone... was literally throwing lighting with the gloves that she recently enchanted.

The SkyWings were in a panic from the first attack and were struggling to get ready. They were expecting a raid soon, but nothing like this!

Starflight was walking through the village alone, Sunny taking the street to the right of him. The streets were now muddy from the rain that was surely Tsunami's doing.

Listening to the minds around him, looking for anybody that sounds hostile. But all he was hearing were dragons that were enjoying their food and worrying about what was going on outside.

He could hear Sunny and Icicle's minds from the rest of everyone else's, hearing them ask families if they know anything about the rebels as they go from house to house.

"Where are all the rogue SkyWings at?" Starflight asked himself.

His head jerked to where Sunny was supposed to be at, hearing her mind go into distress.

Clay was walking through the halls of the stronghold, wondering where all the guards were at. There were relatively few guarding the outside, there should have been even more inside guarding Scarlet.

Peril and Glory were walking right behind him wondering the same thing. This place should be swarming with dragons, ready to defend who they believed was the true queen.

They finally made it to the last room at the end of the hall, surely where Scarlet was waiting.

Clay stopped Infront of the doors and looked to Peril, giving her a nod.

Peril immediately knew what to do, running at the door and ramming herself into it, disintegrating it immediately. Peril stopped herself from going any further in shock.

Clay and Glory followed her in ready for a fight but stopped dead at what was lying on the floor... Scarlet, laying in a pool of her own blood and guards dead all around her.

Starflight was running as fast as he could, hearing Sunny try to plead with someone.

"Don't do this, she is just a dragonet!" Sunny was yelling at the dragon.

"This kid and her mother are loyal to Ruby, anybody that thinks she should be queen is a traitorous scum and deserves to DIE!" the hostile dragon said to Sunny.

Starflight reached the house that Sunny was in. He rammed into the door and burst in, seeing a SkyWing holding a young dragonet by the throat and what was surely her mother out cold on the ground.

The SkyWing holding the dragonet saw him burst into the house and immediate started to go to slash the dragonets throat, not wasting his time.

Starflight saw what was about to happen and tried to stop him with his shadows... but he wasn't fast enough, the dragon's claws were allready going down... he wasn't fast enough.

A white blur shot out from behind the hostile SkyWing and wrapped around his claws, making it to where he couldn't slash anything with them.

It was a snake made out of ice that was now wrapping around the arm of the dragon and was constricting it to where he couldn't move it.

"WHAT IS THIS?" the dragon shouted, letting go of the dragonet and tried to rip the snake off of his arm.

Icicle burst into the house and tackled the dragon to the ground. She was about to slash his throat but frowned, remembering what she told Starflight what she wouldn't do. She grabbed the SkyWings horns and smashed his head violently into the ground.

Starflight calmed down and walked over to Icicle, "Thanks Icicle, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't get here on time," Starflight said sincerely.

Icicle snorted, "sure," she said before walking out of the house.

Clay, Peril, and Glory were baffled by Scarlet's dead body. Who got to her. It surely wasn't anybody in Ruby's army, and the guards! There were at least ten different bodies here, how did someone kill them all before we got here. The guards outside seemed pretty sure that they were guarding something that wasn't currently dead.

Clay looks around but doesn't see a sign that someone else was here, "We need to report this to Ruby, we don't need anyone to think we just massacred a bunch of dragons!"

There was a sudden sound that sounded like something cutting through the air. The few lanterns that were lighting the room suddenly shattered and cut out all of the light in the room.

Peril went to give a breath of flame but something smashed into the back of her head, knocking her out cold before she could activate her flamescalles.

"PERIL!" Clay shouted, going for his girlfriend but was cut off when something knocked him out.

Glory went to the door so she could get out in the light, but was cut off when something made the door collapse in on itself, trapping her.

Glory was having a full-blown panic attack but was trying to hold it in, backing up against the wall, not being able to see anything. "Who are you, what do you want?" she said into the darkness.

"Don't fret little RainWing, you'll know in due time" the darkness answered back to her.

"What do you mean-" Glory was cut off when something metallic hit her in the back of the head. Blacking out, the last thing she saw was Tsunami busting into the room through the door that had collapsed.

Short chapter, but a chapter non the less.
