OK, i'll take the third Member of the Weather Trio As my Sole Legendary Character. Character #4: Name: Grodus Age: Unknown Gender: Genderless, but prefers being referred to as a male. Rank: King Kingdom: Underdark Pokemon: Groudon Bio: Grodus is a Pokemon that you do not want to get on the bad side of. He also is a good pokemon once you get to know him, as long as you don't anger him. If you do, well... let's just say that he's like a Volcano. He's been trying to maintain Neutrality all this time, but he's a bit wary of Azauqyar and Aquero for some reason that he's not saying anything about. When confronted about it, he tends to say that it's a personal matter and then quickly change the topic of the conversation.

Hey, at least it wasn't the water kingdom that took down the Land Castle, although they did weaken it quite a bit.

Suddenly, the Swanna and Octillery fly down into the forest, their mission complete. The castle walls seem extremely weak at this point.

The Quagssire and Swampert did, in fact, go off, but they were laughing as they did so. Once back in the Underbrush, they dug underground and headed back to Otto to report their results. "Mission accomplished! those Luxray didn't even know what hit 'em!" Otto smiled. "Good, that should leave them bruised enough for us to call this a victory and the Sky Army to finish them, but first, there's something that needs taking care of." "And that is?" "The Dratini Meadows Outpost!" Otto then headed over to Magister. "I'd say that we've punished them enough here and should shift our attention to the Outpost they made in the Dratini Meadows, how about you?"

That was when they were jumped from all sides by a couple platoons of Swampert and Quagsire with a barrage of Mud Bombs. Meanwhile, the 501st were reporting back to Otto on their successful mission. Otto congratulated them, and then told them to get ready for the infiltration of the Castle. And while all this was going on, the Octillery were still shelling the Castle with Octazooka while being carried by the Swanna.

A loud rumble could be heard from outside as the 501st made another bunch of Sinkholes, these ones trapping Rader and Ignis outside of the Castle by preventing them from getting back in. The 501st then slipped away underground.

And that was when the Octilleries started shelling the Castle with Octazooka from on the backs of Swanna, which flew off after the first pass, then circled back around for another volley, Aqua Ring active on the birds as they approached.

There was no response from the forest, the Units having already moved onwards to their next locations, waiting for their next signals.

Unfortunately for Rader and Ignis, their forces were greeted with Ice Beams from the 31st Sniper Platoon's Kingdras. Even more unfortunately for those two, the barrage was followed up with by Mud Bombs launched by a unit of Poliwhirl, and a large sinkhole blocking their path out of the Castle, courtesy of some Digging done by the 501st Terrestrials.

That's when Otto blew his Conch Shell, giving the signal for the full-on attack.

Otto nodded. "When you hear the Conch Shell, that's your cue." He then motioned for a few Swanna and Swampert to come with him Towards the right, the 501st also coming.

Right now, where I live, there's a Thunderstorm. How fitting for the s***fest that's about to go down in the IC thread.

Otto nodded, speaking quietly enough to not give away their position "Agreed. Let's use the old shock-and-awe tactic by overwhelming them from all sides." Otto then motioned for his troops to move closer while keeping quiet, his Elite Squad of Dewotts (the 501st Terrestrials) following him more closely than the rest of the troops.

Otto made his Forces halt temporarily, and then had them move into the Rivers nearby. Once that was done, they advanced further upstream, heading past Krusher's forces, where they waited.

Otto looked at Magister. "Get what Troops you need, we're going to deal with a problem." Otto then looked towards the Army, and spoke. "A grave atrocity has been committed today by Krusher. This day, A Day That Shall Live in Infamy, will not go unpunished!" The troops responded in one roar: "REMEMBER DRATINI MEADOW!!!" Otto then shouted an order to his Troops. "Men, MOVE OUT!" The massed army, Otto included, then started heading after Krusher. As instructed, one quarter of the total troops remained behind to guard the Castle.

The two Duckletts nodded, speaking in unison. "On it!" The two then flew out of the Kingdom and back to Otto and Magister. Once they returned to their home Kingdom, they informed Otto and Magister. "Shidew would like to have a personal meeting with you, Otto, but he has some stuff to take care of first!" Otto nodded. "I'll meet with him when he's ready." One of the Ducklett then headed back to the Magic Kingdom.

The Ducklett walked in, and then spoke. "I have news from the Water Kingdom, sir. Otto wishes to form an alliance between the kingdoms of Sea and Magic." Then, a second Ducklett burst in. "There's been a new development! Otto has gone into a rage and declared Total War on the Land Kingdom!"

^what he said.

I'm with Bibs on this one.

WATER KINGDOM BARRACKS Otto's group reached the Barracks just as Magister finished speaking. Otto then replied. "You're the Captain of the Guard, so feel free to take whichever soldiers you want." Otto then headed off to some groups comprised of Swampert, Barbaracle, and Dewott. "42nd, 37th, and 501st Terrestrial Platoons, you're coming on this one." Otto then turned to some groups of Wingull, Swanna, Lanturn, Clauncher, and Octillery. "Aerial Platoons 3 and 7, SpecOps Platoon 1, and Heavy Platoons 15 and 16, you're coming, too." Otto selected his final troops by turning to a group of Kingdra. "31st Sniper Platoon, you're also coming." Ryu spoke up. "Lord Otto, What am I doing?" Otto smiled. "You're going to be in charge of the 2nd SpecOps Platoon." Otto then beckoned to a group of Carracosta, which came over. "2nd SpecOps, you heard that, right?" The Carracostas nodded. Otto then spoke to the groups he hadn't mentioned. "The rest of you, unless you are chosen by Captain Magister as his troops, remain on guard while we're out." That's just about when a Ducklett came flying in, and when Otto heard what it had to say, he seemed to... snap, for lack of a better word. "Why, that good-for-nothing... THIS MEANS TOTAL WAR!!! All Troops, change of plans, all but one-fourth of the troops, you're in on this! Scout, tell Magister what you told me, and then go inform the Magic Kngdom! Troops, we're going to the Land Kingdom in order to get payback for what Crusher did! Men, let's move out!" The Barracks suddenly turned into a hive of activity as troops scrambled. The scout went to Magister, told the Captain what it had told Otto, and then flew off to the Scout in the Magic Kingdom.

OTTO, MAGISTER, & RYU Otto smiled. "I was planning on bringing you, Magister. No sense in going without being prepared, and since you're the Captain of the Guard, you're one of the best officers we have." Otto then started to head out of the throne room, but stopped and spoke. "Let's head to the Barracks and get the Troops set. I sent them a Messenger, so they know they need to be ready to go at a moment's notice." Otto and Ryu then headed off towards the Barracks.

OTTO & RYU Otto shook his head. "Magister, have you forgotten that they also have a queen?" It was then that Ryu and the Ducklett walked into the Throne Room, and the Ducklett spoke. "My Liege, I have found a Mercenary." Otto nodded and replied. "Good. Now, head to the Scout Barracks and tell the rest of your fellow scouts that I want them to swap out every thirty minutes, instead of every hour." "Yes, Sir!" Once the Ducklett headed off, Otto spoke to Ryu. "I am sure you're wondering why I called you here. Well, I am planning on sending an Expeditionary Force to the Dratini Meadows. I presume you have been that way in your travels?" "I have been there multiple times before, yes." "Good. Now, I want you to come with me and my troops on this occasion." "Wait, you're coming, too?" "Yes. The Land King Krusher himself has gone into the Dratini Meadows, so it would be-" He cut himself off when a Scout rushed into the Throne Room. "My liege, Queen Crystal herself is at Dratini Meadows!" "Thank you for informing me of this. You may go now." "Thank you, sir. Is there anything else I should do?" "Feel free to do what you like." "Thank you, sir." The Ducklett then headed out. Otto nodded, and then continued speaking. "As I was saying, since Land's King Krusher, and now Magic's Queen Crystal, are both at Dratini Meadows, it would be showing weakness if I was to not show up, and you know how Land King Krusher is about those who show weakness, especially in other Kingdoms' Leaders."

OTTO Otto shook his head, and spoke to Magister. "Actually, that can wait." Otto then looked at one of the three Ducklett, and spoke again. "Head to the Magic Kingdom, and inform their rulers that I am interested in an Alliance between our Kingdom and theirs." The Samurott then turned to a second Ducklett, and spoke again. "Head off to the Barracks and inform the Troops that I want a battallion of them to be ready to move out, on the double." Otto turned to the third Ducklett, and spoke. "Head out and see if there are any known Mercenaries in the Kingdom. If so, tell them that I request their presence posthaste, and bring them here. Otherwise, resume your Duties." The three duckletts nodded in unison, and spoke. "Yes, sir! The three of them then sped out of the Castle,heading off to the Magic Kingdom, Sea Barracks, and the Shoreline. RYU Ryu was sitting on the Shoreline, staring out into the ocean, when he heard a flapping from the skies above, and a Ducklett came down from the Skies. "Lord Otto requests your presence." Ryu nodded, and then spoke. "I'll be there ASAP." The two of them then headed down to the Shoreline City, and bought a ride down to the Sea Capitol, and headed towards the Castle. EVE Eve was keeping watch over her Battallion, which was on Guard Duty because the other two Commanders were out at Dratini Meadows, when she spotted a small figure approaching. She was about to alert some of the other sentinels, and give them a verbal punishment, when it came close enough to be seen as a Ducklett, landed in front of her, and spoke. "I want to have an audience with their majesties Crystal and Shidew. I bring a request from my liege, Lord Otto." Eve nodded at this, and bade the Ducklett to follow her. The Eevee then headed down to the Throne Room, where she waited in the Doorway until she would be given permission to speak.

Meanwhile, in the Water Kingdom... Otto Otto had just finished speaking to three of his Scouts, who had just returned from the skies above the Dratini Meadows, above the Magic Kingdom, and the skies near the mountains, when Magister came into his Throne Room. All three Duckletts were standing next to Otto when he spoke to Magister. "Ah, Magister! Your timing is perfect, as I was just about to call for you. How have you been recently?"

It's guarded, as we saw with Xeen.
