Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War

A short but very eventful war that occurred at the time of the Chima Roleplay. Although the Bats won and Raven HQ was destroyed, this ended up serving as a catalyst for the surviving Ravens to finally unite as a single tribe once more, which had been one of Bliston's intentions from the start. The Chima Civil War directly led into this conflict, which in turn led to the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War.

## Catalysts

* Rawlin's nonstop assault on the Eagles.
* Bliston putting his plan into action earlier than originally intended.
* The Bats draining the chi from Mount Cavora and framing the Ravens.
* The WRM Ravens launching their full assault on TI to finally reclaim Raven HQ.

## Goals

### Wings Row Monarchy Ravens

* Drive Rawlin's forces from Eagle Spire.
* Take back Raven HQ.
* Convert or defeat all TI ravens.

### Talon Industries Ravens

* Destroy the Eagles / bring down Eagle Spire.
* Prevent the WRM Ravens from retaking Raven HQ.
* Prevent the Bats from claiming the MMSC.

### Bat Tribe

* Defeat the TI Ravens at Eagle Spire / motivate the Eagles to later ally with the Bats.
* Take the MMSC / use it to frame the Ravens for stopping Mount Cavora's Chi Falls.
* Destroy the MMSC, Raven HQ, and all TI Ravens in the HQ simultaneously.
* Drive the WRM Ravens out of the Great Desert.

## Battles

* Battle of Eagle Spire—Combatants: Eagles, WRM Ravens, TI Ravens, Bats\*
* Battle of Raven HQ—Combatants: WRM Ravens, TI Ravens, Bats, Scorpions\*

\*These are also considered battles in the Raven Civil War and/or the Chima Civil War.

## Results

* Rawlin's defeat and disappearance.
* Bliston's disappearance and return.
* Liberation of Eagle Spire / strong relations formed between Bats and Eagles.
* Fall of Talon Industries / formation of the Raven Resistance.
* Draining of Mount Cavora's chi.
* Destruction of the MMSC and Raven HQ.
* WRM migration from the Great Desert.
* RR Ravens eventually merging with WRM / founding New Talon Industries.
* Former WRM Ravens joining The Forgotten to fight the Crawler Empire.

## Summary

(Excerpted from the Bliston page.)

The Chima Civil War had been dragging on long after the Battle of Lion City ended; Rawlin was persistent in trying to destroy the Eagle Tribe no matter what. Even the patient Bliston eventually became fed up and decided to intervene. Bliston became enraged at Rawlin's continued "illogical" actions, and took his army to Eagle Spire, piloting his new command ship, the Bat Javelin. The Bat Army attacked the Talon Industries Ravens there, temporarily joining forces with the Eagles and the present Wings Row Monarchy Ravens. With three armies fighting them, the TI Ravens were massively outnumbered and routed relatively quickly; all of their flying vehicles were destroyed, and their damaged MMSC drifted past The Iron Mountains, with Bats and Ravens fighting inside it all the while.

### Duel with Rawlin

Bliston left the Bat Javelin and flew into the room of the spire that Rawlin was in (after a Wing Striker had ejected its pilot and crashed into it). A bat took the injured eagle leader to one of the Spire's hospitals, while Bliston held a sword at the neck of Rawlin's mother, Erlin, and demanded Rawlin duel him. After Rawlin accepted the duel, Bliston tossed Erlin out the window and engaged in a furious duel of the fates with Rawlin. Both of the chi-powered fighters flew through and around Eagle Spire as they clashed, eventually coming to a reconstruction zone. As Rawlin's chi power waned and eventually ran out (due to him plugging chi earlier than the Bat King had), Bliston was still immensely powerful, so he smashed Rawlin through a stone wall. Bliston followed through the wall, and as Rawlin tried to get back up, Bliston broke the TI Chairman's wing with his bare hands, rendering Rawlin unable to fly. Bliston then grabbed Rawlin by the wing and tossed him into another wall (this one fractured on first impact, but wasn't destroyed yet). Then, with his last bit of chi energy, Bliston kicked Rawlin through the wall, breaking a hole open in it and blasting the raven out of the spire. Rawlin fell into the mist surrounding the spire, and, though he somehow survived the fall, he wasn't seen again for a long time.

### Aftermath

After defeating Rawlin, Bliston was smashed through the same wall, by the arm of an eagle construction vehicle piloted by a vengeful Erlin. The pilots of the Bat Javelin immediately destroyed the crane and killed Erlin with a missile strike, but Bliston fell into the fog and disappeared. Soon, the odd Scorpion Scientist Scordon Freeman arrived at Eagle Spire and attempted to turn the Eagles against the Bats, via eagle led RPG fire from Edessa Cubbage, only to fail and be driven off thanks to Brakket’s marksmanship, shooting down numerous RPG rockets. All of the scattered Wing Strikers in the skies around the Spire regrouped and flew back to Bat HQ.

### Cold War

Although the Bats had been winning the war with the Ravens, both sides became stuck at a stalemate after the loss of their leaders. Following the disappearance of Rawlin and Bliston, most of the remaining TI Ravens regrouped in Raven HQ with the intent of selecting a leader and counterattacking the Bats, only to be outnumbered by the WRM Ravens there, who'd taken advantage of the opening to launch their assault. As the civil war among the Ravens continued, the Bats went on with their King's plan. Meanwhile, Bliston was seen flying through the fog above the Iron Mountains. He was attacked by the lion pilot Leonard, who mistook Bliston for a raven. The chi-powered Bat King destroyed the wing of Leonard's jet and caused it to crash into the Arcticregion beyond the Iron Mountains; Bliston found that this was also where the MMSC had crashed.

After swallowing an additional orb of chi, Bliston powered up, hooked a chain to the MMSC, and managed to pull it back up into the skies of Chima. Bliston and the Bats inside the MMSC (having triumphed over the Ravens and driven them out of the battle station) rendezvoused with the Bat Javelin and the Bats who'd collected spider webs across Chima. When the group met up in the Iron Mountains, Bliston took all the vehicles inside the MMSC. The MMSC glided to Mount Cavora using its single remaining booster, and the Bats used the spiderwebs to block the Chi Falls and steal all the chi. They concealed themselves in the MMSC as they did so, tricking most of the inland animals into thinking the Ravens stopped the falls (for this was part of Bliston's plan).

### A Utilitarian Conclusion

The Bat Army then attacked Raven HQ; and after evacuating the Bats, removing the chi, and filling it with chi bombs, Bliston crashed the MMSC into the Raven HQ's main tower. This caused a massive explosion, completely destroying the MMSC, the tower, and all the TI Ravens inside. Bliston and the Bats then powered up with their new chi supply, and opened fire on the wrecked Raven City, completely destroying it all in order to eradicate Talon Industries, regardless of WRM casualties. Razic criticized Bliston for this, but the Bat King argued that the Ravens, and the inland tribes in general, had brought this on themselves by damaging Chima with their constant wars. During this time, a scouting party of Scorpions was discovered and attacked by WRM Ravens outside the city, and the Scorpions quickly left after surviving the ensuing standoff. The Bats then returned to Black Fang Mountain, where Bliston praised Balthazar for his time leading the Bats, and promoted him to Grand Admiral of the Bat Navy.
