Chapter 2: Tradition 
[hr]
(Mount Tamir)
After Karduke finally united the last independent clans under the impenetrable mountain the Rarians spared no moment in mobilizing the clan’s resources and manpower needed for Karduke’s grand plans and soon the great halls of the mountain were filled with Minotaurs, Animal morphs and remnants of the Naga that inhabits the vast underground lakes under the formidable mountain itself. Warriors stands side by side with past strangers, enemies, and friends for as of this moment they are brothers.

The warriors were decorated with armor and weapons found only within their clan, proud and ready for their lord’s call. Soon Karduke and his followers arrives. 

“Warriors old and new!!!” Karduke begins his speech with a loud and commanding voice “I have summoned you all to remind you that we are still here!!!” He continues looking around the thousands that gathered before him.

“Children’s of traditions! Children’s of the dragon!” He declares getting louder with each word “We have forgotten what it means to be a Rarian!!!” He continues with the same tone and tenacity “But now we are here clad in the armor of our forefathers and blessed with the weapons of our ancestors!!!” He declared with all his strength “Now let us make them proud, march and show them that we have never forgotten!!!” He shouts with pride as he pulls out his weapon “Let us show them that we remember!!!” He yells out raising his weapon to the sky visible to all and with this the Rarians cheers out in celebration raising their weapons with their leader.

And with his speech over the Rarians disperse going back to their clans to prepare for the upcoming battles, soon the insides of the mountain were filled with activity from mining to manufacturing weapons and armor though not visible to the outside world the Rarian’s under the mountain are starting to build up.

(War council)
After Karduke’s speech, he and his followers started planning for their next actions, with his 7 followers Ren the cunning a Bunny morph the dragon of the silent hunters, tin the fierce a dog morph known as the dragon of the venerable fangs, Diy iron fist a Minotaur the dragon of the smoking fists, Jake the hermit of the rabbits, Shiya the silent a Snake Naga the fierce dragon of the sudden strikes, and lastly Shina of the cat morphs.

“Our total manpower is close to 5 million.” Ren says as she pulls out papers detailing all the registered Rarians inside the mountain” we have a million giants mostly Minotaurs and close to 4 million animal morphs mostly the dogs and a few thousand Nagas.” She continues as she finishes placing all the records in the table.

“A small war party then.” Karduke replies to her “Barely if you think about the past.” he continues as he recalls the past “how about reforming our armies to a more loose and independent group.” A dog morphs clad in armor that looks like knight “Commando squads?” Karduke’s asks in confusion but before he could finish a large bang catches the attention of the council.

“I want everyone’s attention.” Jake suddenly says as he places an old version of the weapon the EOM are using now grabbing everyone’s attention “This is from the first time the EOM invaded our planet.” He begins to explain his proposal “This is many years advance then anything our race can make today and because of this any frontal attack is useless against them.” He continues “So we can’t do anything?” Shina ask “As of now we can’t but this is my proposal. “He replies “Bring me EOM tech and I shall make our own.” He finishes explaining. 

After his proposal Karduke and the others agreed, this is the path that they should take and with that the dragons and their selected elites sets out to find the weapons and technology.

Chapter 2: Surprises 
(Teo’s mission)
 
Teo makes his way around the overcrowded city looking around for any place that can be of used to the resistance, a feat near impossible as most were either too exposed to the turrets above or too open to anyone near them, soon hours pass with no suitable locations, Teo and his squad decided to go relax inside a nearby tavern.

“How about this place?” One of teo’s men asks, “That depends on the owner.” He replied softly as he approached the owner “Gimme a tough one.” He ordered as he sat on one of the bar stool “having a tough time a see.” He replied as he grabbed a bottle from one of the selves behind the bar and poured the content to a small glass, giving it to Teo.

“Thanks.” He said as he showed a hidden dagger hiding in his suit catching the eye of the owner “Thanks for business.” He replied softly trying to not attract the few slavers that were drinking their hearts out in the corner.

After a few minutes of waiting the slavers went out of the tavern drunk with stupid grins in their faces “So what’s the hidden dagger doing here.” The owner questions clearly mad “We need more places to store our supplies.” He answered honestly “So you wanted to use my shop to keep your supplies.” He replied with the same tone.

“Yes.” He replied looking at the barkeep in the eyes which surprised him and with a small sigh he replied, “For the war against heaven.” A quote which caught Teo off guard “that quote he replied clearly shocked “You’re…”.

(Robin’s mission) 
Robin and his men were searching around another part of the city for any kind of weapon or item that can be used by the rebellion but soon he and a few of his men soon arrived at a closed off factory on the side of the walls “You know I have always been curious what the slavers were doing inside that place, so what do you say we take a little look.” He says to his men getting a small nod in return and a few eager faces they make their way.

Though the factory was somewhat well guarded robin and his men what able to get inside unseen, soon he makes his way even deeper to the factory seeing Slaves, Rarians, Humans or even some Zenos working the mysterious machine that scatter around the place.

“What is this place?” He says curiously as he looks around, eyeing the strange machines “This people I haven’t seen them before. “He continues keeping quiet enough to not be heard or seen by anyone, after he starts to move soon after and soon arriving in what seems to be the overseer room, the room seems to be sealed off from the other sections of the factory with a large vault in the middle surrounded with a lot of scattered objects, files and junk. 



“Look around and grab everything you think is useful.” He says to his men, soon they carefully search the room for anything but other than a few gadgets and a few holograms, there wasn’t any items of interest, but as they were about to give up the door knob frantically started to move and due to desperation or surprised he and his men hid around the room before the figure entered the room.

Fortunately, the room was large enough and a mess that hiding wasn’t a problem, soon the figure enters, tilting one of the head of a statue and with it the large vault opened.

Inside the vault are series of blueprints and schematics, soon the figure in a panic droved inside the vault creating a mess as he frantically searched and in minutes’ schematics and blueprints began to fly creating a huge pile of blueprints in the middle. 

Soon The man emerged from the mess holding a single piece of paper in his hand and charged towards the door leaving the vault open and the important papers open to those that wished claim them. 

“Looks like we’re in luck men.” Robin says with a grin as he leaves his hiding place, walking to the front of the vault “Take everything in there.” He commands pointing at the vault, soon rushing inside, emptying everything, and putting everything inside their backpacks.

soon a backpack like object gets his attention for it was filled with ammunition, a gun, hidden bank account and documents all you need to start a new life whoever the man was he was readying to leave and start anew. 

“Lucky me.” He said as he grabs it with him and after grabbing the last remaining blueprints and schematics the vault was emptied and with heavy bags they left, leaving in the same way they entered and with a lot of luck they were able to escape with the crowds outside.
