Blitz Bridger

Blitz Bridger was a Bear RPC created by Dr. Matthews, and later temporarily roleplayed by JGREAD. He led the Bear Tribe following his father, Brake Bridger. He was also a distant relative of Baton Bridger. Blitz accomplished many feats as Bear King, such as solving his people's age-old problem of tiredness and laziness, approving the creation of the first fleet in the Bears' history, helping to win the Chima Civil War, being a founding member of the Chima Alliance, being the first warrior to earn Scorpix's respect as a duelist, and assisting Unichi in the extremely important Battle of Black Fang Mountain during the Crawler—Ice Hunter War.

## Biography

### Early Life

(Originally posted by Dr. Matthews on the "Bear Cave (HQ)" topic.)

For many years, the Bears had been accused of laziness and being procrastinators, which had unfortunately been true for the past years. But recently a bear named Brake Bridger assumed the leadership and saw how they had fallen behind the other tribes because of their bad habits, so he trained his son (Blitz Bridger) to fix the problems the Bears had. Since then, rules have been established to stop the problems and Bears have been rising to the standard of other tribes around them in technology and wisdom.

### Kingship

Blitz succeeded his father as Bear King (alternatively called Bear Chief) at some point between the year 30 BR and the start of the Roleplay, after Brake Bridger had overthrown Bear King Bladvic IV in 30 BR, during the Catalan Crisis. At the time of the RP, Blitz was approached by a bear brawler, who notified him that many tribes were beginning to ally, and that the Bears could be left vulnerable if they didn't. Blitz agreed and traveled by speedor to Lion City, in order to seek advice from the Lions on the matter (but not before whispering orders to a brawler). Upon his arrival, Blitz was disgruntled to find Wolf Alpha Wulfthra with his own detachment. He asked a lion if the Bears should wait outside the city's walls until the Lions were done discussing their business with the Wolves, but the lion took off his hat, revealing his identity as King Lionel himself, which confused Blitz. Explaining that he often did this when he didn't have time to put on ceremonial robes (or wanted to be left alone in public), Lionel instructed Blitz and his men to wait in a pub near the front of the city. The Bears did so, settling down to wait in the pub, where a lion was playing a piano. Blitz commented to a lion guard that he knew a crocodile who could play the bagpipe better than the pianist could play the piano, and the Bear King was surprised to see the pianist begin skillfully playing a bagpipe. A crocodile visiting the city then engaged in a bagpipe "contest" with the lion, amusing Blitz and his men.

#### Meetings in Lion City

Blitz and his Bears, along with the recently arrived Ravens and Gorilla President Gorbav, were summoned to a mansion by Lion Steward Lavuras, who let the Ravens speak first. This frustrated Gorbav, who asked if he could have a conversation with Blitz Bridger. Blitz arrived late to the meeting as the Ravens were trying to make a monetary deal with Lavuras, and agreed to have a private talk with Gorbav. On the balcony, the President proposed a military alliance between the Bears and Gorillas, reasoning that they had much to offer one another, and that rumors claimed an antagonistic alliance was being formed against Chima's other tribes. Blitz was immediately interested in this rumor, asking Gorbav where he'd heard it, and which tribes were in this alliance. Gorbav explained that he suspected the Crocodiles and Ravens of planning to ally. Blitz told Gorbav that he'd need to consult with his advisor before allying with the Gorillas, and met with Lionel after the Wolves left. Blitz and Lionel soon agreed to an alliance between the Lions and Bears, after which Blitz left for the Gorilla HQ (but not before learning that the Ravens were organizing a speedor race outside the city, with the Lions' permission).

#### Meeting in the Gorilla Jungle

Upon arriving at Gorilla HQ, Blitz found that Gorbav had set up a feast for the meeting. Blitz revealed that he agreed with the Gorilla President's earlier proposition for an alliance, listing various reasons as to why. Gorbav agreed completely, but asked if Blitz had allied with anyone else. Blitz explained that he'd allied with the Lions, and believed a three way Lion-Bear-Gorilla alliance would be powerful, in addition to, possibly, the Minor Tribes. Gorbav agreed, and after signing the papers for an alliance as he'd done with Lionel, Blitz asked the Gorilla President if he or his tribe would be attending the speedor race, but Gorbav had no plans to do so. Blitz, believing the Ravens were up to no good, discreetly asked Gorbav if he'd set up a surveillance system on the tribes that could be in danger. Gorbav assured him that they'd telegraph the Bears if they saw anything, and Blitz departed in approval.

#### The Calm Before the Storm

Blitz and his envoy arrived back in Lion City just in time for the Bear Chief himself to participate in the speedor race, along with Percival the peacock and Bilzer the beaver from the Minor Tribes, Lycor from the Lions, Raida from Talon Industries (the Ravens), Ruble from the Rhinos, and Wera from the Wolves. The prize for winning the race would be the golden chi orb created by Cavora that month, which boasted powerful architectural and landscaping abilities (through which the race track and obstacles had been created, just outside Lion City). However, in the middle of the race, what seemed to be storm clouds appeared over the horizon, and a squad of Ravens flew over the racers, shooting Lycor, Wera and another wolf racer with tranquilizer darts, and successfully kidnapping the latter two. Lycor, whose shoulder armor had protected him from the dart, rolled off his speedor and ran back toward the steps of Lion City, having already prepared the defenses for an attack.

### The Chima Civil War

Blitz, who'd fallen asleep on his speedor, woke up just as Lycor and Lavuras were placing the city on alert. Blitz, Percival, Bilzer and Ruble, too engrossed in the race to notice the surrounding events, continued through the ensuing obstacles, just as the "storm clouds" (missiles launched by the MMSC) and the "dust cloud" on the ground (the Crocodile Army) reached the city. As the missiles and Crocodiles' artillery bombarded the city and speedor track, the Bear Chief used the explosion from a missile hitting the ground near Ruble to propel himself over the finish line (and into a wall, knocking him unconscious), technically winning the race despite it having been a cover by the Ravens for their war.

#### Battle of Lion City

Waking up in the midst of the battle, Blitz furiously ran back to his speedor and drove to Lion City, picking up an unconscious Bilzer and injecting himself with some sort of liquid on the way there (most likely liquid chi). With King Lionel having been incapacitated by the missile bombardment, Blitz met with Lycor as the Field Marshal commanded the Lion forces. Blitz told Lycor that he'd called in troops, and that Bear forces surrounded the Crocodiles while remaining hidden for the time being, to assist Lycor's "surround and conquer" strategy. Blitz sent another force of Bears led by General Bismarck to The Great Forest, to capture the Ravens' outpost there, which they succeeded in doing. Rhino General Rhogan and Bismarck eventually joined the meeting in the Lion Castle war room, the latter explaining his plan to defeat the Ravens and Crocodiles. Blitz disagreed with the plan, believing the allied forces should focus on the Crocodiles (most of the Ravens were at Eagle Spire) and counterattack head-on while the Bears still had the element of surprise.

Blitz took on a completely strategic role for the duration of the battle, helping to command the defending forces within the city while Lycor fought on the front lines. During the battle, Blitz learned that the pro-monarchy faction of Ravens had survived both Rawlin's revolution and the destruction of their second HQ three years prior, as the Wings Row Monarchy Ravens arrived to help defend against the Crocodiles and Talon Industries Ravens. With Lionel recovering and command of the defending armies shifting more to him, Lavuras, Lycor and Rica, Blitz turned his attention toward the equally important bureaucratic "battles".

#### The Political Side of the War

Blitz sent an ambassador to Gorilla HQ, since he was both frustrated by Gorbav's lack of aid in the war, and had noticed Gorillas present at the battle, not fighting on the Lions' side (the Gorillas turned out to have been neutral rescue workers, helping the civilians injured in the speedor race area). Despite having disagreed with the Bismarck plan overall, Blitz agreed with Bismarck's proposition for a Bear Fleet, and had the General oversee its construction during this time. He first sent Bismarck to Minor Tribes HQ, and while the negotiations for a massive joint fleet between the Bears and Minor Tribes fell through, Traxx did agree to have Beavers assist in building the Bear Fleet, significantly speeding up its construction. Blitz remotely created the West Sea Autonomous Bear Dominion, granting Bismarck the position of Dominion Lord, in addition to naming a battleship after the General. Following this, Blitz was likely notified of the deal Gorbav had made, granting the Bears two custom helicopters and the technology to build their own. After the Battle of Lion City finally ended with the retreat of Crogall's forces, Blitz and his army returned to the Bear HQ, just in time to counter an attack from the Talon Industries Ravens.

#### Battle of Bear Territory

Upon returning to the cave to plan his defense, Blitz was immediately interviewed by a neutral fox reporter from the Wolf Tribe. After quickly getting the interview over with, the Bear King commented in frustration that the two factions of Ravens had brought their war to his lands. He was then approached from behind by an angry raven. Blitz had his guards tackle the intruder, but let him go after finding out he was a WRM raven. Blitz, realizing that he'd forgotten to tell the reporter about what he thought of the still besieged Eagles, told the fox that he would ally with the Eagles if the Lions allied with them. The WRM raven asked if the Bears would ally with them as well, and Blitz explained that it was the same case as with the Eagles. The WRM raven, approving of this, flew out of the cave and helped to draw away the attacking TI Ravens toward The Grassy Plains, restoring peace to the Bear lands.

#### Birth of the Chima Alliance

Immediately after the end of the battle, Blitz had the Bears repair any damaged parts of their HQ, regroup their army, and resume the work they'd been doing before the attack. As the Chima Civil War began to wind down around the continent despite the Battle of Eagle Spire continuing, the Bear King was called over the radio by Lionel, who told him about a "super-alliance" between all of Chima's tribes that Lycan had just proposed. Blitz fully supported the idea, and sent an ambassador to Minor Tribes HQ, in hopes of persuading the Minor Tribes to join the alliance. Blitz then departed for the newly-constructed Wolf City (and was notified on the way there of the successful negotiations with the Minor Tribes, as well as the surprising arrival of a new tribe who'd engaged the TI Ravens in battle at Eagle Spire), where Wolf, Lion, Gorilla, and WRM Raven delegates were meeting to discuss the proposed alliance between all of their tribes.

Upon his arrival, Blitz announced proudly that the Minor Tribes had joined the Chima Alliance. He then reassured the Lion ambassador that the WRM Ravens had earned the Bears' trust through their recent actions, and signed the treaty that the ambassadors had put together, which included the Ravens in the alliance (under Razalac's promise that Rica would retake leadership of the main tribe from Rawlin, and under the Gorillas' condition that WRM would become at least partially democratic). After the five present factions had all signed the ratifying papers, Blitz tried the Wolves' recently invented fortune cookies, commenting jokingly that this ability to "see the future" could come in handy for the alliance. He then bid the other tribe representatives farewell, returning to the Bear Cave.

### Chi Crisis

On their way to Bear lands, Blitz and his caravan witnessed the drainage and stop-up of Mount Cavora's chi falls by unseen beings operating in the MMSC. Like most Chimians, Blitz believed the TI Ravens to be responsible for the unprecedented theft. Not long after getting back to his homeland, Blitz was met by a Wolf ambassador, his guards, and a raven, who explained that he was there to record the news. Blitz met with the Wolf ambassador within the Bear Cave, and upon being inquired about whether the Bears still had chi, lamented that they had little after the war, going so far as to claim that no chi would ever come from Cavora again. Blitz cited the latest issue of CPB Silver (which he'd read right after returning to Bear lands), stating that the tribes should conserve their remaining chi.

The Wolves then departed, and Blitz met with beings of a new species and faction who'd arrived to sell the Bears weapons. In light of these Scorpions warning him about an impending invasion from the Crawler Empire, Blitz gladly paid for the new Outland-made weapons, expanding the Bears' arsenal. He then met with Bismarck just as the Dominion Lord returned from the West Sea, and was happy to hear that Bear Fleet was battle ready and powerful. The Forgotten Scorpions then offered to give the Bears blueprints for their new missile launchers, free of charge, which made Blitz suspicious as to what the "catch" was. He ended up turning down the offer for "free" missiles, believing it to be a scam of some kind, but thanked the Forgotten for the other weapons. Blitz likely saw Scrin as he and the Forgotten were leaving in their Scout Buggies. Blitz then told Bismarck that he'd earned a nap, which the General was grateful for.

### Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War

A while later, the Bats and Scorpions arrived in Bear lands with a powerful fighting force, and stopped in the forest just outside the main Bear Cave clearing. From his cockpit in the Bat Javelin, King Bliston addressed Blitz directly, giving the Bear Chief a choice between peacefully surrendering his land to the Crawler Empire, or staying to fight and being defeated. Bliston promised that the Crawlers would honorably accept the Bears' surrender either way, and would not pursue them after they'd left the territory. Blitz replied that he chose the second option, determined to stay and fight for his ancestral homeland to the end. The Imperial forces then charged, easily smashing through most of the Bears' chi-depleted forces. Bismarck awoke from his nap and asked Blitz what his orders were. The Bear Chief instructed him to take the non-combatant Bears to Blitz Base in the Great Forest, stating that it would be their new HQ, should the Bear Cave fall. Bismarck did so, evacuating all of the tribe's civilians from the region.

#### Fights with Scorpio and Scorpix

Blitz then countered an attack from behind by Scorpion Prince Scorpio, and went into a primal rage after plugging chi, throwing the young royal to the ground and repeatedly striking him with his axe and hammer. Meanwhile, all of the turrets and walls defending the HQ eventually fell to the Empire's attack, and Blitz stopped his beating of Scorpio to announce that any Bears wishing to retreat could, instructing them to rendezvous at Blitz Base. He explained that the base had by then been expanded into a city in itself, and would serve as a new, better HQ. He swore to continue defending the homeland until his last breath, however, while the rest of them secured the "Bear Tribe of tomorrow". Upon hearing his speech, many of the Bears retreated, while many still remained and fought with him. Eventually, the soldiers remaining in the area were defeated and scattered, and all of the buildings were destroyed, leaving only the cave itself. Blitz furiously charged at Scorpion King Scorm's Stinger Tank, but was blasted away by Scorpix's tank. Plugging his last remaining chi orb to replenish his health, Blitz managed to crash Scorpix's Stinger Tank, and engaged the dual-wielding General in an on-foot battle. Scorpix commented that he'd at last found a worthy combatant as they dueled.

Eventually, Scorpix stung Blitz, but the bear put himself to sleep before waking up again, preventing the effects of the mind-controlling venom. Their duel took them into the Bear Cave itself, and nine scorpions ran in with a Stinger Tank following behind, to aid Scorpix. Inside the cave, Scorpix knocked both of Blitz's weapons out of his hands, but the Bear King continued fighting with one of the scorpion swords he'd bought from the Forgotten. Blitz began to lose the duel as his chi ran out, but the ten Scorpions announcing their arrival distracted Scorpix long enough for Blitz to kick him out of the way, jump onto the Stinger Tank, and grab its tail. Blitz used the last of his chi power to twist the tail cannon so that it'd fire on Scorpix, blasting the General all the way out of the cave. The driver of the Stinger Tank tried to shake Blitz off the tail, causing it to continuously shoot blasts in every direction, damaging the integrity of the cave's walls and ceiling. This caused the HQ to eventually cave in, and Blitz stopped the ten Scorpions from escaping, declaring that he'd take them down with him if his HQ was to fall. Blitz rammed the Stinger Tank into the cave wall as it tried to grab him with its front claws, and this final blow caused the Bear Cave to finally collapse, burying Blitz and the Scorpions alike. Blitz was presumed dead for a while after this, but had in fact survived, likely thanks to the Stinger Tank's frame incidentally shielding him from most of the rubble.

#### Return of the King

Blitz would remain in a coma until midway through the extremely long Third Battle of Bear/Crawler Forest (the second having been a much briefer battle between the Lions and Crawlers, which had ended in the agreement that the Crawler villages and their civilian occupants wouldn't be attacked; a promise later broken by the Chima Alliance). He awoke underground and pulled himself to one of the Scorpions' bags of chi, plugging an orb to power himself up and temporarily lessen the pain of his injuries. He then rammed his way through a wall and into the Bear Cave's vehicle room, where he used another chi orb to power a mining vehicle. Blitz drilled his way beneath the Crawler Forest (formerly the Bear territory) until he was ten miles away from the destroyed HQ, going to the surface and heading toward Lion City on foot. Arriving at the foot of the stairs, he told the guards he needed to see Lionel immediately. He was brought into a waiting room and examined by a doctor as Lionel entered.

#### Recovery and Recap

After treating his wounds, the doctor left, and Blitz inquired Lionel on the current situation with the Crawlers. Lionel told him about their annexations of the Raven HQ area, The Great Desert in general, the Grassy Plains, and Eagle Spire. The Lion King was surprisingly confident that they'd be driven out of Bear territory, however. Blitz asked Lionel for an update on the tribes' relations as well, and the Lion King explained that the Eagles and Crocodiles (the latter now being led by King Crogar, after Crogall's mysterious assassination) had fully allied with the Crawler Empire, while the Rhinos had remained neutral and made peace with the Crawlers. Blitz thanked Lionel for the information and left, returning to his homeland.

#### Battle and Negotiation

Arriving at Bear Mountain (a small mountain in the forest that both the Bears and Crawlers had never built on, but that the Bears had begun using as a secret resistance base), Blitz's presence greatly motivated the Bears, and he regrouped his army to assist the present Lion, Gorilla and Minor Tribes forces in attacking the Empire's villages in the region, despite bombing civilians in the process. Blitz retained a backseat strategic role during the battle, as his injuries continued to heal. Soon after, a large hologram depicting Scorpix (now the Scorpion Supreme Leader after the capture and death of Scorm) and the captured bear soldier Baldemar was projected over the region. Scorpix requested a ceasefire, and explained that he'd come up with a compromise: all Alliance and Empire military forces would leave the region, and the villages would become completely neutral living spaces for Bear, Bat, and Scorpion Tribe civilians alike.

Despite Traxx and General Gokart agreeing to Scorpix's deal and departing with the Minor Tribes and Gorilla forces, Blitz rode down from Bear Mountain on his speedor and demanded to meet with the Supreme Leader in person, only for Scorpix to reveal that he wasn't even in the region anymore. The Imperial forces regrouped and headed northwest, toward The Iron Mountains, while Scorpix's partially pre-recorded hologram revealed that Baldemar had been hidden in one of the villages with a bomb strapped to him, which would automatically deactivate if Blitz promised not to attack Crawler civilians, but would otherwise detonate. Despite being opposed to Scorpix's attempt to turn the Bear lands into a buffer state between the Alliance and Empire, Blitz eventually accepted the crafty ultimatum in order to save Baldemar (and everyone else within a five-mile radius); under the additional condition that the Bear Tribe would return to being the governing body in the region, with the Crawler civilians paying property tax to the Bears for as long as they lived there.

#### Aftermath

Scorpix agreed to Blitz's demands, and deactivated the bomb as promised. Blitz had the Bears search for Baldemar whilst moving into the villages, integrating with the Crawler civilians, and rebuilding the Bear Cave itself. By the time the Bear Cave was fully remade, Blitz had upgraded its defenses with a moat, avalanche traps, an aircraft hangar, an underground missile launch bay, surrounding mine fields, anti-air defense turrets, wall-mounted chi machine guns, and reinforced metal beams within the cave itself. He also had a mansion built atop Bear Mountain, had many new mechs built, and enforced very high property taxes on the Bats and Scorpions living in the region (which likely helped to pay for all the new developments and emplacements). The Bears also enforced tight security to "monitor" the Outland-native citizens. Eventually, these harsh living conditions under Bear Tribe occupation prompted all of the Crawler civilians to leave the region, which had been Blitz's plan. They moved into the much larger and recently Empire-conquered region of Southernfell, however, which had been Scorpix's contingency plan for this very scenario. Blitz also sent a legion of Bears to the Iron Mountains, to help defend the Ravens against the Scorpions' attack, only to later hear about many of those Bears being frozen by the strange ice birds who'd interrupted the battle.

Blitz then departed for Lion City once again. However, Lionel didn't meet with him this time, and after waiting a while, Blitz received a message from the Lions and was forced to leave, returning to the mansion on Bear Mountain. After Baldemar was found and removed of the bomb, Blitz brought him to the newly-built mansion, expressed relief that the young bear was alive, and discussed recent events. Their brief meeting ended, however, when Blitz was notified of an attack on the Gorillas.

#### Confrontation with Terrorists

Blitz immediately took a portion of his army to the Gorilla Jungle after hearing about a strange group of Ravens and Eagles bombing the Gorillas. Blitz met with the terrorists, who'd stopped their attack, and the eagle leading the group explained that the Eagle Tribe should be part of the Chima Alliance, rather than the Crawler Empire. The terrorist leader explained that he was angry at the Gorillas for attacking Eagle Spire with the Schrewerer Gustav, and that the Crawler Empire was the "real enemy". However, Blitz angrily called out the eagle on his hypocrisy, since he was continuing the bloodshed between inland tribes rather than fighting the Crawlers himself. The attempt at negotiations ended after that, and Blitz temporarily assisted the Gorillas with their controlled bombing of the area that the terrorists occupied. Shortly before the terrorists were wiped out, Blitz recalled his forces, and took them east into the Great Desert. (It was around this time that a force of Bears led by the enigmatic General Wotjek had gone to the Outlands to assist in the Battle of Scorpion Cavern Castle. However, Wotjek appeared to be working semi-autonomously, and it is unknown how involved Blitz was with the battle.)

#### Speeches and Meetings

Arriving in a part of the desert that the Crawlers hadn't built on (the eastern half of the desert was covered by massive Imperial cities by then), the Bears rendezvoused with the gathered Rhino and Forgotten forces. Blitz made a speech to the Forgotten specifically, thanking them for aiding the Chima Alliance against the Crawler Empire, and promising that their actions would remain in Chima's memories for centuries to come. Blitz then began the "Great March", seemingly aiming to attack the eastern Crawler Empire, but he soon left Ronegan in command of the Bear and Rhino forces, while Blitz went to the site of the destroyed Raven HQ, where a returned Rawlin was apparently in the process of building a replica HQ. Blitz asked the Ravens where he'd find Rawlin, and they told him their leader was likely at the New Talon Industries HQ. Thanking them, Blitz left for the Iron Mountains. Taking a brief nap on the way there, Blitz drove his speedor all the way to the NTI HQ and requested an audience with Rawlin.

After introducing himself, Blitz was let into the main NTI tower, first meeting Rawlin's secretary before finally being admitted into the NTI Co-CEO's office. Rawlin clarified that he was having an entirely new Raven HQ built in the south, rather than just rebuilding the original. Blitz then asked Rawlin if he could lend the Bears, Rhinos and Forgotten aid in their campaign against the Crawler Empire. Rawlin was excited upon hearing about the Gorillas' attack on Eagle Spire, and made Blitz aware that if he was involved in the war, he'd not stop until the Eagles were completely wiped out, including women and children. Blitz replied that, while he hoped to avoid such an outcome, he wouldn't stop Rawlin from wiping out the Eagles if they remained allies of the Crawlers. Blitz confidently claimed that the Bears could take down Eagle Spire, after which they'd leave the Eagles to Rawlin. The Raven leader didn't promise his support in the war, explaining that the Ravens may or may not decide to "show up last minute". Blitz then left, claiming that the Bears would reach Eagle Spire in around a day.

### Crawler—Ice Hunter War

At some point after returning to the Bear Cave, Blitz changed his mind about carrying out the "Great March", completely recalling the Bear Army from the Great Desert in favor of attacking Eagle Spire. As he trained more soldiers and prepared for a massive campaign against the Eagles and the group of Scorpions they harbored in their lands, Blitz secretly had tunnels dug beneath the Bear lands. He also sent four bomber planes in the direction of the Outlands for unknown reasons (possibly to attempt an attack on the Icebears who'd claimed Black Fang Mountain, but they'd left the region by then). Blitz had his tribe begin researching how to drain a swamp in order to attack the Crocodiles, sent Bears to assist the Rhinos in capturing the one terrorist who'd survived the Gorilla Jungle battle, began working on a Super-Tank by reverse-engineering the Bats' design, and recalled the ships that Wotjek had taken through the rivers of the Outlands, sending the entire Bear Fleet west to confront the remnants of the Bat Fleet after hearing about the Balthazar Campaign.

#### Meeting the Consuls

Blitz then took the bulk of his forces to Eagle lands, immediately confronting the Eagles and Scorpions and demanding that the latter leave the surface under threat of an attack. The Scorpions appealed to the demand, all of them going underground into the vast tunnel network they'd created beneath the Eagle, Wolf and Crocodile lands. The Bear King's growing obsession with "defeating the Crawlers" prompted him to follow the Scorpions into the tunnels, where he met their leaders, Craunus Maximus and Calloran Fen. Blitz either ignored or misunderstood the Consuls' explanation of the Republic of the Claw, and began planning to flood the tunnels in order to wipe out the hundreds of Scorpions living within them. This genocide was narrowly avoided, however, when Blitz was contacted about recent events on the sea. After learning that the Bats had provided the Bears with a type of chi that allowed them to fight the Ice Hunters (which the Bears had earned the usage of almost two centuries prior), and that the Bat and Bear fleets had joined forces to destroy what remained of the Icebear Fleet, Blitz changed his mind somewhat about the Crawlers.

#### A New "Alliance"

Once again misunderstanding the fact that these Scorpions were a separate faction from the original Scorpion Tribe, Blitz forced the Consuls into an "alliance between the Scorpions and Bears". This "alliance" essentially gave the Bear Tribe suzerainty over the Republic of the Claw, and forced the Republican Scorpions to end their alliance with the Eagles and Crocodiles and remain underground, preventing them from taking an active role in the Crawler—Ice Hunter War. This arrangement didn't last long, as the Consuls terminated it immediately upon being offered true independence and a more equal alliance with the Gorillas and Wolves. For the time being, however, it satisfied Blitz, who returned to Bear lands with his forces.

#### Meetings with Gorillas and Wolves

Upon his return, Blitz "felt" the presence of the Icebears, now the Bears' neighbors after conquering Southernfell. He tightened border security and had the army monitor their ancient white-furred relatives. The Icebears left the region not long after, when the tribe was regrouped in the east by Iroquois, only for the Sabertooth Tigers to move into "Saber Forest" in their place. Blitz continued monitoring the Ice Hunter presence, while Wolf Countess Wilhelmina arrived and requested to hire Bear Tribe engineers. Though he didn't meet with her in person, Blitz granted the wolf's request. A while later, Wolf and Gorilla delegates arrived and requested an audience with Blitz. He met with them inside the Bear Cave, and the delegates explained that Unichi needed the Bears' world-class drills for their Outlands Campaign against the Hunters; specifically for the Battle of Black Fang Mountain, which the Sabertooths had claimed as a stronghold and extra prison for their frozen captives (such as President Gorvan himself). Despite being confused about Unichi, Blitz agreed to repay the Gorillas for their aid in the Bears' battles with the Crawler Empire. The Gorilla delegate explained that Unichi was a "stronger" replacement for the weakening Chima Alliance, and that they'd already driven the Sabertooths from most of the Outlands with the help of the Tigers.

#### Battle of Black Fang Mountain

After planning the strategy with the Unichi delegates, Blitz mobilized his forces and rendezvoused with the Gorillas, Wolves, Scorpions and Tigers in the Outland Mountains, just west of Black Fang Mountain. Blitz kept the Bear Navy and Air Force on standby while unleashing his drill machines. The Bears assisted in the campaign by setting up a small F-COB (Forward Combat Operating Base), and utilizing their drills to help tunnel into and secure the small Aperture Mesa caves that came close to Black Fang Mountain. Blitz has not been seen since then, and though Unichi's side succeeded in driving their enemy out of Black Fang Mountain and the Outlands, it is possible that the Sabertooths froze and kidnapped the Bear King during their retreat.
