The Second Scorching

The Second Scorching is a half fanfiction, half AU created by @Username08536909087. It's a future event that takes place around 5,056 AS (54 years after the defeat of the Othermind) which was caused due to a variety of factors, mostly notably the attack on the HiveWing kingdom. Unlike the first Scorching, which was a unification of tribes and fall of humanity, the Second Scorching was an all-out war between three factions. After the Second Scorching, three major events happened; the downfall of the traditional tribe system, the creation of the first mecha-dragonets, and the continental destruction of Pantala, forming the Isle of Pantala.

** An attack made by unknown assailants was made on the HiveWing kingdom in Pantala. The assailants then fled to Pyrrhia. The HiveWing kingdom was infuriated, due to the fact that they were unable to extract the assailants from Pyrrhia without sufficient evidence. In order to help smooth things over, the RainWing kingdom offered to hand the assailants over to the HiveWing kingdom. However, the assailants would be given a fair trial and will have a punishment objective to the crime. This exchange was known as the Scorponfly Treaty, named after Scorpionfly, one of the main HiveWing writers of the exchange. The RainWings were able to track down the assailant groups in the SkyWing kingdom. The current queen, Queen Cerise, agreed to meet with a group of ambassadors to help plan out the next few steps. They were unable to meet. Queen Cerise was assassinated two days later. The new queen, Queen Agate, was paranoid and refused to meet. Instead, she formed the Guardian Council to protect herself from any hostile dangers. The HiveWing kingdom decided to rage war on the SkyWing kingdom, being joined by the RainWing kingdom and the IceWing kingdom, who agreed to a deal with the HiveWings in exchange for land. Most of the other tribes sided with the SkyWing kingdom, with only the SeaWing kingdom and the LeafSilk kingdom remaining neutral (the NightWing kingdom also had an involvement in the war, but they were spread out across all factions).

** Queen Agate publicly executed MudWing Council Member Quake, due to her suspicion of him being a spy. After witnessing the queen's paranoia and the death of his life-long friend, Sharp, the SandWing member of the Guardian Council, would steal a third of the army along with fellow NightWing Council Member Dayshifter. Together, they would form their own faction against the other two armies. This would mark the start of the Second Scorching.

**After a devastating attack on the rebellion, Sharp and Vaquita (one of the few SeaWings to join the war) travel to the LeafSilk kingdom, in hopes of allying themselves with a proper kingdom. However, the LeafSilk kingdom is already under attack by the HiveWing kingdom, who wished to use the war in order to take control of Pantala again. The LeafWings and the SilkWings are forced to relocate, settling down in Scorpion Lake for the time being. Dayshifter, meanwhile, stays behind to help guide the rebellion army, conquering the Diamond Spray Delta and a portion of the SkyWing kingdom in the process.

**Sharp and Vaquita manage to smuggle the entirety of the LeafSilk kingdom out of Pantala, which enrages the HiveWing kingdom. They intercept Sharp and Vaquita on what is now known as Bloodsand Island. Vaquita's life is taken in the process, with also around 70 HiveWing, 650 SilkWing, and 380 LeafWing deaths. A total of 1400 casualties on both sides are also recorded (The day of the battle is now celebrated as Reverence Day, in order to honor the lives of which were lost). Nevertheless, Sharp escapes with what remains of the LeafSilk kingdom, rejoining Dayshifter who is attempting to cross over the mountains. The SeaWing kingdom, after hearing the news on how the HiveWing kingdom killed one of their most famous generals, quickly collapsed into chaos as most of the population believed in joining the war, while the other portion believed in remaining neutral.

**The SeaWing kingdom finally joins the war and offers the rebellion army refuge within the Summer Palace. Meanwhile, after 7 years of remaining passive due to Queen Agate's paranoia, the SkyWing kingdom finally pressures Queen Agate into attacking the RainWing kingdom. Preparations are made to encircle the rain forest and choke the RainWing kingdom.

**(Spoilers for Nowhere to Survive)
**Once preparations were complete, the SkyWing, MudWing, and SandWing kingdom encircled and ambushed the RainWing kingdom. However, they misunderstand the rainforest's geography and environment. As a result, only about a fifth of the attack army manages to reach the RainWing village. While the RainWings were initially caught off guard, a RainWing named Okapi rallies the RainWings to fight back, beating the three armies out of the rainforest and north towards the Diamond Spray Delta. The SandWing kingdom, who in particular had sent nearly all of their army to defeat the RainWings, were attacked by the IceWing kingdom who pushed them out of the desert. Overall, most of the year was a victory for now newly-named, Pyrrtalan Alliance.

**(Spoilers for Shifting the Sands of War)
**Continuing on from the previous year, the Pyrrtalan Alliance continues to attack the United Wings, slowly beating them North towards the tip of Pyrrhia, while the IceWings from the West continue to push the SandWings towards the central mountain range, which has been reduced to mass graves of all the dragons who died. However, towards the end of the year, a massive battle occurred on the SandWing desert, which was an ambush led by General Foxtail of the SandWings, which successfully led to the SandWing kingdom managing to regain ground of the SandWing desert. The success of the ambush was attributed to General Foxtail's skillful planning, the IceWing's natural disadvantage on the desert, as well as the arrival of a certain other dragon...

**(Spoilers for Shifting the Sands of War)
**The United Wings and the Pyrrtalan Alliance continue to battle over the central mountain range. The IceWings and SandWings, in particular, fight over the SandWing desert in a giant battle of hit-and-run. Meanwhile, the Rebellion Army, led by Sharp and Queen Porpoise, prepare for an attack on mainland Pantala, to finally end the war.

**(Spoilers for End of Battle, End of War)
**The Rebellion Army and the United Wings meet anonymously in an undisclosed location, where they agree to unite in order to stop the Pyrrtalan Alliance. From this, a fourth player is brought into the war, the United Rebellion. The United Rebellion, led by Sharp who has now become one of the key figures who decide the war, transport themselves to Pantala using an unknown SeaWing animus device (this SeaWing animus in particular would go on to help creating the Dragon World's first ever Mecha Dragon). Upon arriving in Pantala, they make their way to the Poison Jungle, in order to abuse the LeafWing's knowledge of the plants in order to kick out the HiveWings. They successfully wrest control of the Poison Jungle from the HiveWings and additionally invades Yellowjacket Hive, taking it over as a secondary base of operations for the time being. The army settles in and awaits the oncoming battle...

**(Spoilers for End of Battle, End of War)
**For almost 15 year now, the war has raged all over Pyrrhia, throwing the kingdoms into a mess. Fortunately, Sharp and the United Rebellion arrive in Pantala and are about to attack the HiveWing army. In all the years of Pantala and Pyrrhia, no such cross-continental invasion as large as this one has been made. While more SeaWing army forces continue to arrive on the coasts of Dragonfly Bay every day, the various armies that compose the United Rebellion sit still in the Poison Jungle and Yellowjacket Hive. After months of waiting, the invasion begins. The United Rebellion quickly makes their way to the nearest Hive, Wasp Hive, while the smaller SeaWing army ravages their way towards Jewel Hive, with the objective being to sandwich Wasp Hive between the two armies and force the Queen of the HiveWings to surrender. Unknown to the United Rebellion, the HiveWings were able to extract this information from one of their spies and was able to counterattack, as well as call on more reinforcements from the IceWings and RainWings, whose idea was to squash out the remaining armies on Pyrrhia, locate the Animus object, and ultimately ambush the United Rebellion from behind. While the Yellowjacket Army struggled to fight their way forwards, the SeaWing army quickly took down Jewel Hive, and were now making their way around the Hives, after careful warning that Wasp Hive was dangerous. This meant their plan had obviously failed. With nothing now then to wait for the SeaWing army to arrive, the United Rebellion settled in for another long winter...

**The war was not looking good for the United Rebellion. They struggled to hold their ground at Yellowjacket Hive, while the SeaWing army struggled to fight towards their defeated allies. The war back on Pyrrhia wasn't any better. With more than half of their resources spent on the failed invasion, the remaining armies were quickly dying out, with the remainder of the United Wings camped to the very north of Pyrrhia. The SeaWing had also faced great defeat, as with the Pyrrtalan Alliance spread throughout Pyrrhia, it was only a matter of time until they found the Summer Palace, which was greatly damaged and ultimately left behind. IceWings had developed a tactic against SeaWings, in fact, and had begun to freeze the waters in order to draw out any remaining SeaWings. Most either fell to the intense cold of the waters or was tortured alive. On the final day of the sixth month of the year, Sharp rallied the remaining armies in Yellowjacket, and ordered a final stand, a final invasion, to once and for all take down the Pyrrtalan Alliance. With great spirit, the dragons mobilized for the final time and charged, straight into Wasp Hive. On the way to Wasp Hive, they came across the rest of the SeaWing army, who managed to make it past Wasp Hive. With the strength of the Sky, Mud, Sand, Sea, Night, Leaf, and SilkWing kingdom, Sharp and a small team of claw-picked dragons were finally able to make it into Wasp Hive. It continued to be a long fight upwards, however, and they struggled to make the final push to the throne. Thankfully, they met up with a small team of dragons, seemingly made of metal. Thankfully, they were passive towards Sharp's men (and women), and helped them defeat the elite HiveWing guards and meet with the Queen of the HiveWings, Queen Varoa. Unfortunately, the conversation was cut short as another metal dragonet covered with sand arrives and kills Varoa.
