Meeting at the Gang's House

### Description

Strategy meeting to discuss Princess Fader's Army's next moves against the Dragon Lord

This **meeting** was a gathering of members of Princess Fader's Army and several of there allies, held at the countryside farmstead owned by army members Luz Noceda, Amity Blight, Gus Porter, Nagini, King and Willow Park, which Fader's anti-Dragon Lord movement was using as a safehouse. The intent of this gathering was sharing intelligence and other information relevant to the group's movements against The Dragon Lord and his followers.

## History

### Prelude

After a confrontation with the forces of the Dragon Lord's Dark One acolytes, Amity volunteered the farmhouse that she and her friends had purchased after the heart-breaking events of the Dragon Lord's Rally before they joined Fader and Iiron's Army as a sanctuary. Iiron and his anti-Dark One movement subsequently hid out at the farm and its land, which was under the protection of a Fidelius Charm which Amity was the secret keeper of, for several days, helping out with daily chores such as chopping firewood and cooking. A day or so after there arrival, however, Fader arrives and speaks to Iiron as he fixes a tractor. When Iiron claimed that his greatest fear was that he would be responsible for the deaths of his friends, Fader reminded him that he did not invent the concept of hate and war, but he could fight against them.

### The Meeting

The night after Fader's talk with Iiron, the Army met after dinner at the house dining room, seated around the area as they discuss their next move against the dark wizard. Speaking at length of how her various contacts had informed her of the rumours that the Dragon Lord was constructing something, Fader expands on her theory, telling the intrepid ground that she suspecting it was not a single mere object that her twisted cousin was creating. In answer, Bow, leaning against the side opening into the living space, asked with his arms about the presence of their enemy and his Forsworn, who Fader claimed were easy to track with all the various sightings, though none of these sights gave the Army any lead to what their foes' next plan.

**Fader**: He's got several plans fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed.
**Glimmer**: By whom?
**Fader**: Parties unknown.
**Catra**: Do we have an ally?
**Fader**: My cousin the Dragon Lord's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is.
As Adora, tossing a dart at a hanging target and readying herself for another throw, inquired about the continued pursuit of nuclear launch codes, Fader, casually buttering herself a piece of toast, confirmed this, telling Gus when he noted how he had anonymously cracked a Republic City council firewall on a dare that her contact people in "NEXUS" in Oslo (which Iiron explains the meaning of "NEXUS" to the others when Bow asks about it) had informed her that the Dragon Lord had attempted to get at the NEXUS Internet Hub's nuclear codes but revealed this one of her cousin's many plans was one not making much headway due to the codes constantly being changed by an unknown third party. As Luz outplayed Adora, sending a dart right into the centre and grinning when she turned to her, a curious Catra, seated along with Willow at the table, Melog at her feet, inquired in this indicated they had an ally in their fight, though Fader cautions her against directly thinking that, telling that them having an ally and the Dragon Lord having an enemy were not the same thing. As Fader expresses her wish to know who the third party way, jokingly claiming she'd pay "folding money" for such information, Bow volunteered to go to Norwaygan with Entrapta to find out who changed the nuclear codes Dark Ones were planning to obtain.

Catra: Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that.
Fader: I do, I have you all. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the shadowed bastard.
Catra: Bow doesn't like that kind of talk.
Bow: You know what, Catra?
Shaking her head, Catra addresses Fader, voicing her disappointment their "boss" didn't have more concreate evidence, but Fader responds to by voicing to inspire the group, telling her army as she strode to the centre of the room how once she had maintained as many eyes and ears as her cousin, the Dragon Lord, now did, and telling Catra, Iiron, Adora, Glimmer, Gus, Willow, Luz, Nagini, Batty, Freddy, Amity and King how though his vision might by viewed as world peace, the Dragon Lord's goal of uniting every realm together, even by force if necessary, could just and easily be interpreted as global domination, telling them they were now left with "nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world" and encouraging them on, calling her cousin a shadowed bastard, causing Catra to continue a running joke between the group about Bow telling his brother Iiron to watch his language, giving Bow a mischievous smile when he answer. While trying to think what the Dragon Lord's next move would be, Batty realises the Dragon Lord wanted to 'evolve' after observing a drawing of a butterfly by Willow and tells the friends this theory, which causes them to realise the Dragon Lord intends to fully return himself to full form and escape the inter-dimensional prison he was placed in by his siblings through a portal constructed of vibranium.
