"I'm going after Shade," Skyward growled.

Starflash remained quiet throughout the conversation. She was worried about what Gallon said about making the universe to his image. Was that even possible? She tried not to worry, since a phoenix can be reborn after they died, even if they lose the memory of their previous life. However, not everybody had that ability, and Starflash didn't want to be selfish, so she tried to think on what a tiny little phoenix like her can come up with...

"Then what can we do? He obviously won't wait forever for our answer," Kumara asked.

"Isn't that what he will expect us to do?" Starflash suddenly said, very sure that she had a plan.
"What if... we pretend to give up? That way, he will lower his guard and we can find a weakness. I mean, every creature has a weakness, no?" She specified, though she wondered how Gallan would treat them if he did believe they were surrendering...

"I don't think that would work, and if it does, it could fail." Chimera spoke up, "I've faced such a villain before; he wouldn't stop at just ruling a group, he wanted more. I doubt Gallon will be any different. As for getting Shade without being noticed, "I'm sure there could be a spell or two I could use."

Chimera's wings drooped in disappointment and outrage; she wasn't about to play the part of someone who was defeated! Not as long as she could lift a claw.

Blarna and Anralb looked at each other, and they both said, "Anything to save everyone." They surprised themselves afterwards.

Gale looked at Polara, "Should we?"

"Yup." Polara replied.

Chimera only scratched the ground with a claw.

Starflash was very proud of somebody agreeing on her plan. She felt very useful and helpful. However, she was also disappointed the way Chimera looked upset. From all of them there, Starflash has bonded with her the most, so that made her feel kinda sad.

Occ: My internet is back can someone fill me in on what happen?

"Well, I don't like to look weak... But if it's the only way, I will help," Kumara said. Shadow nodded next to her.

Starflash didn't have any trouble with the plan. Being so small and not exactly powerful, it wasn't going to be hard for her to surrender, or at least pretend to. Shade saved her life once, as well as her two companions, so she felt like she owed him.
"Miss, if there isn't any volunteers, I... would like to be the one to bring the news to Gallon." Starflash said to Aurora, believing that everybody else, much like Chimera, was too proud to tell him they surrendered, even if it was faked.

"Where does Gallon lives?" Starflash asked, ready for the surrender.

"Let's ditch the surrendering plan and barge right in and rescue him," Skyward growled.

"Hmm... I see too much pride will lead us to perdition." Starflash said with a scowl after Skyward's comment, now seeing that Chimera wasn't the only one who didn't agree with the plan. By this point, Starflash was feeling good with her plan, but it really upset her that most on that group were too stubborn to give up, even though it was simply pretended.

"I don't know what 'perdition' means and I don't care," Skyward growled. "What I do know is that surrendering is going to make him kill us… or worse. We might be tortured eternally if we fail, which we will if we go with your 'plan'."

"Sorry, Starflash, but I'm with Skyward on this, someone like Gallon isn't going to act nicely to us, I already have similar experiences." Chimera spoke up.

Starflash may not have the experience or malice they had, but she was sure that the plan wasn't going to be a failure.
"He may torture us, or treat us badly, but he wants domination. You can't dominate someone if they are dead. We can handle the pressure, can't we? After all, you all seem very sturdy and proud, I bet that's something you can handle too." Starflash said to them, getting more upset at their stubbornness, though she was being like that too. She had so much faith in her plan, and with all her time away to train, she wanted to make it up.

It pained Chimera to end up disappointing Starflash by disagreeing with her plan, but she didn't want a repeat with the pitch black dragon of her past. "I just ... I don't want to look like I've stopped fighting, the last time I almost gave up, a wicked dragon continued to ruin lives, killing without a second thought. I don't want to let the villain have his way, someone could die."

"He can't dominate if he destroys the world, and he's planning to do it anyway," Skyward retorted. "Remember what one of those guys said? 'Water and light is his weakness.' We know how to defeat him."

"But... I gave him some light! That did upset him, but I don't think that weakened him." Starflash said to Skyward, remembering the finery light she pointed at Gallon. Too bad she couldn't do the same with water though. She then turned to Chimera.
"I understand why you are worried... but... I believe that will lower his guard, and we can attack at the same time. And... I will even go upfront. A phoenix can revive, didn't Blarna told you?" Starflash added, knowing that Chimera was too overprotective of her, but Starflash believed she didn't need to be.

"I already know about a phoenix's rebirth ability, but ..." Chimera didn't know what to say next.

"Hmm, can Gallon take fire and heat away from some place?" Blarna asked.

Occ: I'm not really sure where to jump in at due to the fact just a few days while my internet was off(look I wasn't counting) so much happen..

Starflash was happy that Aurora was going along with her plan, but she also felt a little upset that Chimera and Skyward didn't like it. She turned to Chimera.
"But what? I will be fine." Starflash assured. She had heard rumors that a phoenix forgets their previous life once they are reborn, but being young and innocent, she believed she was too attached to her new friends to ever forget them.

"Like Blarna asked, can Gallon take away heat and fire? If he can, that could disrupt the rebirth." Chimera pondered.

"Yeah, you fire phoenix's need fire to be reborn, just as I need the cold in order to." Anralb replied.

"Oh yeah, and now, you guys are plotting to survive while all of your 'friends' die," Skyward bared her teeth. "I'm going to fight Gallon. If you want to survive while our Phoenix 'friends' plot against us, follow me."

"Starflash isn't plotting against us," Chimera hissed at Skyward, "she just wants a more peaceful way to stop Gallon. I may be all for just plain killing Gallon, but Starflash is my friend."

"How dare you suggest something like that!? you are the one who wants to confront Gallon so stubbornly. Don't blame my species for your proud rashness! Sheesh, what is your problem!? I'm trying to help, and all you do is complain!" Starflash said furiously, reaching the limit of her patience with Skyward.

"Enough" Flame said as fire shot up into the sky, "Are you all so petty that you will fight against yourselves?" he said

"You just went with your Phoenix plotters on how to survive from the ashes while we all die when your plan fails," Skyward growled. "It's not my fault that you guys want to resurrect yourselves while your 'friends' die."

"I can't resurrect myself like a phoenix, but I won't die either. I can't die, not until I have reunited with love. While I still can lift a claw, Gallon will never win; I'll fight anyone who dares to harm my friends, even if they have the power to call themselves a god. I will do whatever is necessary to stop Gallon, I know that is the truth." Chimera said slowly, with resolve.

"Now the only sane person here turns traitor!" Skyward yelled, not listening to Flame. "I could possibly avoid the universe's destruction, but what would it matter if all I know and love is killed? You, on the other hand, kind of have the same power as me, but you are going to just let everyone die if it means your own life is saved! What kind of hero are you?! Not one at all!" She started flying out of the cave, looking for an exit. "Anyone who wants to not die while the traitors live come with me to fight Gallon!"

"Shouldn't we at least go after her?" Gale asked as he and Polara walked out from their corner.

"Skyward is already on her way to take on Gallon, alone. We better go with her, just to keep her from making a mistake." Blarna said.

"Skyward is already on her way to take on Gallon, alone. We better go with her, just to keep her from making a mistake." Blarna said.

"Man, is she stupid or what? She wants to confront Gallon all by herself? If she gets killed, how dare she blames us for it? It's not like we are forcing her to do this." Starflash said furiously, really despising Skyward at the moment. She rarely got mad with anybody, but Skyward really blew a fuse.

(Skyward is a 'she'.)

"Well, come on, we don't have a moment to lose." Chimera said.

"What a fool...." Flame said, "How pathetic is this....This group has no organization, no leader. You all rather be fighting yourselves than fight the real enemy" he said

"Are you done criticizing others now?" Blarna asked harshly.

"I only speak the truth, wasting your time fighting among yourselves will never be able to defeat Gallon" Flame said

Blarna ruffled her feathers, and Anralb said, "Either way, we better go follow Skyward."
