Andromedan Orbiting Operations Center (and offworld adventures)

The four taurs that join the two dragons also arrive too.
Meanwhile, at the fighting at the distance, there are about five snow leopard taurs with frost/ice magic, taking full (and brutal) advantage of the amphibians' weakness against the cold without hesitation.
When they hear Nydos' shout, and see the two dragons (along with the other four), one of the snow leopards signals and beckons them to come in.

Horse Sniper : Looks like we're cleaning up the rest of those small nuggets here. Come on, people !

*The amphibians are suddenly engulfed with purple energy and were unmade painfully*

Oliver unleashed his blast on a contingent that was trying to join the battle. Magic flared to life as the blast landed, sending painful shards of magic through the amphibian line. The amphibians collapsed, most of them dead from dangerous leylines forming in their bodies, and the rest of that contingent would be easy to finish off.

A taur not three meters from the blast was completely unaffected. It's as if the blast also created a wall to keep the effects of the blast away from the taurs.

With much of the amphibians dealt with, the horse sniper loads up his gun, while the deer readies her SMG.
Up close, the two dragons could see that the projectiles shot off from the guns are... slightly transparent, like made of pure energy and not actual physical bullets. But, whatever this energy is, they certainly look effective against the amphibians' tough skins.
The design of the guns look nothing like what the dragons might have seen before. Seem to be the taurs' own design of weapons. A mix of Aztec and Greek from the Earth, probably.
The fox shaman conjures several ice scythes in the air and hurls them at the amphibians, reaping and cutting some of them down in brutal fashion.
The shark mage focuses her magic and creates a whip of freezingly-cold water, and goes to town on the enemies with all her savagery.
The snow leopards deal with the remaining with their combined powers, a massive avalanche to bury the amphibians, dead and alive much the same.

One of the newts went for his communicator.

Newt: "We've got a problem, boss! The taurs are about to break through our southeast line, and Aten's murderous lackeys are backing them up! Repeat, Aten's lackeys are backing up the-"

That was the last word they got out before one of the ice blasts smashed him and his communicator.

Oliver looked pissed off.

"....you heard that newt, right Nydos? I really wish they'd stop with that slanderous talk."

Once everything's calmed down (after Nydos' anger combusting a nearby tree), the taurs get together. Whatever they're talking about, is in that language that the two dragons probably don't understand.
Though, with the tone of voice, it doesn't seem to be something of high tension.
Then one of the snow leopards walks up to the dragons and extends his paw towards them.

Snow Leopard Mage : Cảm ơn hai vị đã đến giúp.

Fox Shaman : Thank you for coming to help.

“they called my father a criminal he was just protecting someone he doesn’t deserve this”

"With pleasure."

Oliver seemed happy at first, then looked concerned.

"But Nydos here is correct. This empire has escalated a case of my grandfather protecting someone into a vendetta. And... there's a concern about extremely destructive space weaponry they're building. What's the rest of the situation been down here?"

Space weaponry.
The term makes the taurs frown a bit, concerned as well.

Fox Shaman : I don't know anything about the empire's "space weaponry"... the only ones capable of space magic, as far as I'm concerned, are Jin and Galaxy. Jin is our blacksmith, and Galaxy is one of his children, and also one of the medics.

Horse Sniper : Aside from that... things seem to have come to a stalemate, I'm afraid. We are already thin in numbers as it is, only enough to keep them off from raiding our food supplies and weapon armory, but not exactly enough to really attack and capture any of their bases.

The shark tilts her head.

Shark Mage : Though, may I ask, who are you and where did you come from ? I don't remember seeing dragons in this place. Only us taurs and those amphibians. And those magics that you just did... definitely don't feel like from around here either.

"Because we aren't from this planet. It's a long story. However, we do have time for it... I'll try to explain as best as I can."

Oliver sat down on a stump.

"There are many worlds outside the four habitable ones the amphibian empire controls. A number of those worlds are governed by an organization called the Temporal Imperium, whose job it is to make sure no one meddles with time and space. In addition to that, there are a number of species whose job it is to watch the stars for threats, and to make worlds if necessary, among a long list of duties that I still don't fully know. One of those species is the celestial dragons, which is what Nydos and I are."

Oliver took a deep breath.

"Nydos called himself a god of destruction. In his case, that literally means governing the concept of destruction in all its forms, as it is sometimes a necessary stabilizing force. Me? I am Oliver, and I hatched fairly recently... and was immediately given governance over the concept of magic."

Oliver looked down.

"We're so eager to jump into this battle because... there are beings who have tried to enslave us gods, and recently at that. We can't let any slavery slide."

The taurs look at each other, somewhat concerned... but the deer just puts her SMG away and straight-up tells them what the deal is.

Deer Gunner : Well, if you are two dragon gods wanting to put an end to slavery, those amphibian nuggets are targeting our blacksmith Jin because he can make weapons out of pure magic energy. Dunno if anyone else can, but he can. That, and he has gravity-based power. Galaxy has nebula clouds and aurora waves, she does what you call... watch the stars, right ? Like that. Basically his whole family is in the wanted list.

Then she readjusts her jacket.

Deer Gunner : I hope you're not new challengers also coming after him or his family, yeah ? I'm already hoping this shitty war is over soon, now that you're here to help, y'know. You're here to help, right ?

“true before creation must come destruction”

“yes if it requires lots of destruction I’m willing to help”

Oliver nods.

"I am here to help, yes."

Oliver thought for a second.

"It sounds like you have good scouts, given you found out about them targeting your blacksmith. Those are usually secretive missions."

Oliver nods.

The deer chuckles at Nydos' remark.

Deer Gunner : Alright, alright, spare me the philosphy please. Once we got those SWARMS of amphibians off our back, then I can think about life with you.

Oliver nods.

"I am here to help, yes."

Oliver thought for a second.

"It sounds like you have good scouts, given you found out about them targeting your blacksmith. Those are usually secretive missions."

*Nydos nods in agreement*

Fox Shaman : Yep. It was Jin himself to choose the fennecs as scouts.

They all have that look at each other, wondering where Jin got that idea himself. Unorthodox, but *somehow* effective. That's the guy.

Fox Shaman : Now then... this place is done for now, I think. I was expecting the fight to be a lot longer, like maybe an hour at least ? But it went down in just... 5 minutes, with you two in. At this rate, I am confident we can really fight on now, and not just holding on, anymore.

Meanwhile, a snow leopard is contacting back, probably to the main encampment.
Once she's done, she looks to the two dragons.

Snow Leopard : Vỹ muốn mọi người quay trở lại doanh trại để bàn tiếp kế hoạch.

Fox Shaman : Jin wants everyone back at the encampment to plan the next move.

"The celestial dragons have... a lot to say about philosophy."

Oliver noted the deer's comments.

"But yes, later. Let's make our way to this encampment. I will be flying a bit further up in case there's any... tricks that the amphibians attempt."

[TrixieFox]

"I believe we've waited enough. We need to help the taurs."

Oliver relayed mental instructions to Oriana.


"Nada. Oliver just reported, it's go time. There's an active rebellion on the planet, apparently the taurs are fighting the amphibians. We're working with the taurs on this one."


Jin got another message on his communicator. The sender was unfamiliar.

"This is Oriana Abrae of the Temporal Imperium. We see the situation on the planet and you're not the first group the Dendrobans tried to enslave... plus we have concerns about the weaponry they're developing. We're sending two dragons and a small squad down to assist. Don't be fooled by the small quantity of troops... they'll be more than enough to turn things in your favor. Here are the coordinates where they're arriving."

Jin would get a set of coordinates that was about a kilometer from one of the encampments.

Oriana opened a portal to said coordinates and so did Oliver.

The two portals would open to a forest clearing. The sounds of battle were faint, but ever-present, as there was fighting about half a kilometer north of here.

Sandstone: "Fun"

Fox Shaman : That won't be necessary. Jin can open a wormhole from the encampment all the way to here and we can be back instantly.

He shrugs.

Fox Shaman : Unless that's something to do with space and time that he's not allowed to do ?

“I can destroy at will”

The deer chuckles at Nydos' response.

"On its own, a portal is permitted. It's almost a mandatory power for being that have to watch the stars and govern domains, in honesty. I don't see a problem with Jin opening a wormhole."

He turns to the snow leopards and nods. The snow leopard signals back through the communicator.
Shortly afterwards, a wormhole opens up where they are. The fox beckons everyone to go in.

Oliver looked at the snow leopard.

"You'll have to forgive Nydos, we dragons are too used to this wormhole thing."

Oliver stepped through the wormhole as directed.
