"Commander Gonal." spoke a mulatto woman as she strode into her superior's office long silver hair swinging behind her. "I see the General has you deep in paperwork." she said with a halt a few feet away from his round table.
"Indeed. I have been reviewing the events and reporting all incidents during the day of the SouBei Nutri The Acquirer execution. As you know more than Dyspon attacked our city and we want to be informed of all other occurrences which took place. Who is involved, why they were involved, what they were involved with, and if these plots are a possible continuation. The execution could have been a scapegoat and some of these terrorists may remain or in better terms, still lurk in our city. But you know these things, the real question is what are you." Peering up from the papers in his hand, Gonal tilted his head. "You have your hair in a braid. Who are you going to battle with?"
" That EVOL, the one you allowed to leave."
Chuckling silently to himself Commander Gonal's head began to rock. "Yes the SouBei. Why do you wish war with the young has he run off with Ley Alma."
"SouBei? My magic wouldn't work on him but I planted a seed which germinate whenever in city perimeters."
"Overstood. He has been warned not to return to our city or risk being seized and captured. He knew the risks. So you may do as you please."
Bowing the woman's ponytail slung inches from the ground. "Thanks Commander."

"We are right below them. I can feel their vibrations." Spoke Uhna Wen. "We know not what stands before us but we will prevail. So prepare yourselves for the battle begins. Raising the ground below them like an elevator, the Uhna's form went from rabbit to serpentine.
"What? An egg? made of scales of light." Tooom, an unseen force pressed down on Uhna and her Kopi.
"I must ask you to depart." spoke the Muhari Captain as he descended from the roof of a clay building.
"These are our tunnels." growled a Marmor Capeer as it fought to stand on its feet .
"Yet this city was left in ruins." Said the Pteralin with a whip of his snake- like tail which had perfect swirl of muscle and bone up to his drill stinger.
"What is your reasoning for your intrusion upon our land?" Asked The Uhna.
"You are looking at it." Landing without a sound regardless of the curved bone claws poking out of his feet the Ki Muhari pointed its draconic head at his guest tilting it so you could see the fine line between the top half made of bone and the bottom half his jaws was pure muscle and teeth like that of a crocodile.
"Are you the producer of this egg?" Asked Uhna Wen.
"I am the Captain of the Khi Muhari that you currently battle. I am Linneas of Pteralin."
"Linneas of Pteralin." Studying their intruder demeanor Uhna Wen took a peek at the egg than at her comrades, of whom only two managed to reach a kneeling position while she stood alone unperturbed. "I take it that you are a family man."
"I live for my hive, I live for my Yuquin." replied Linneas with an outstretching of his four insect yet bat-like wings.
"Then you understand loyalty."
"That I do."
"Then you would understand my loyalty to my Capeers."
Booosh, falling in from above after punching a hole through the upper tunnel boom Olma Pertin landed on a giant building causing it to tumble before bouncing off the roof with the nimbleness of an antelope. "My Uhna." he shouted with a deep whiff. "Your scent drives me crazy." Kicking off a piece of debris the Olma shot pass two buildings like a rocket clearing more than two football fields within seconds. Flipping into a land the Antelope bodied Olma sprint his last distance to Uhna Wen sweeping her into his arms and lightly tapping her snake like forehead with his antelope's making sure not to entangle antlers during the process.
Staring at the couple through dark holes for eye sockets Linneas made no movements, spoke no words, only took in their energetic signature and felt their vibrations which told the Pteralin all he needed to know.
"Why is it that these beings reside within our domain?" Asked Olma Pertin with a swift glance over at both egg and Pteralin.
"They have chosen to rest here due to the growth of their hatchling." replied Uhna Wen.
"In that case allow me to expedite their process." said The Olma with a curl of flames around his fist.
Moving on detection of the malevolent intention Linneas took a step forth but a hive of light flickered into being in between him and the Chisapho right as a dead army of skeletal beings of all shapes, sizes and forms rose from the ground. "I wouldn't advise that." spoke Flammel walking into existence as a skeleton before transforming into his original human form.
"Yuequin." Said Linneas with a bow. "I was about to dispose of these beings."
"No worries for the Capeers will leave in due to their own convenience."
"Ha" laughed Olma Pertin took a step forth. "You raise our dead and…" Going silence as the world went dark and they fell in complete silence The Olma found himself resurfaced in a rampaging city of fire, war, and chaos. People ran around in a frenzy while buildings collapsed, objects exploded, and the undead awoke in a madness attacking and feeding off both living and deceased.
"This is what your pack will come to if this battle continues." spoke Flammel's voice in the background. "Is this what you wish upon yourselves."
Taking a step back in complete horror at the scene, Uhna Wen thought of her Kopi. "This madness has already taken our Kopi. Are you able to prevent its spread."
I am if we are able to come into terms of agreements. You have to the rising of the sun or else they will become Khi Muhari."
"Khi Muhari" Standing erect The Uhna took a step back in understanding. "Olma this being is a vessel of death." Flicking her rabbit ears, the Olma gaze shifts to Linneas. "He is Captain of Khi Muhari."
Standing erect with his chest out it took Olma Pertin only seconds to analyze the data. "You Captain of Muhari." Said The Olma. "When were you exalted to this position?"
Turning to his Yuequin, the Muhari waited for his nod to answer. "I received the status of Khi Muhari after death by the hands of Yuequin."
Regressing to his natural hare-like form Olma Pertin threw his hands up high. "We Marmoor Capeer dance between the limits of life and death. During death we Capeer's are able to evolve into higher beings but first we must succumb to a monstrous feral state. If we are able to rise from its depth and conquer the madness grasp then we become a being of spirit like that of my Uhna and I. We call this transition "Ebor Aleat" it means "Crossing of the Threshold." Those who surpass are called "Ilhm Huuja" Bearers of Light on earth." Tapping his hooved foot on the ground Olma Pertin the Capeer grinned so wide that even his ears touched the skies. "And this here is"Wanguan " The gateway to the next life for many warriors have met their fate in this city."
"Having you here is an honor." Said Uhna Wen.
"Tonight we celebrate!" yelled Olma Pertin. "Make sure there are plenty of drinks for our guests."
