*As the dust settles from the attack, the clavers look over the carnage. Body parts of both phyrexians and clave fighters litter the field. Bastalin is seen leaning on his staff, struggling to stay up. With the last of his energy slipping away, he falls onto the ground unconcious. A blinding light flashes across the plain as Bastalin splits apart, to weak to stay whole. The clavers cover their eyes, but look in wonder moments later as they behold Bass and Stalin lying on the ground dazed; both are looking slightely different.*
Elfie: Hmm... I'm not to surprised. I mean, they did spend quite a bit of time in that form. Some of it was bound to rub off.
Soulbot: OOOO!!! That just makes me want to get my body back even MORE!
*groans are heard from stalin and bass as they struggle to stand.*
Bass: What are you talkign about, I'm normal. So is stalin, look at hi...
*Bass stares as he beholds a new stalin, same features, but with a pair of large white wings with black feathers streaking through them. Stalin look back confused at bass, who now has golden armbands adorning him. Both stand up and check out their new features. Stalin gives a couple of pushes off with his wings and soars into the air.*
Stalin: Wow, I could get used to this.
Pinata: Get down here showoff boy, we have work to do.
*Sighing, stalin floats back down and lands gently, tucking his wings behind his back. Laniin pushes her way to the front, giving stalin a distained look, then glancing a bass for a minute.*
Laniin: Come on lil bass, get off your ass and get to work. Those armbands are tacky anyway and it makes you look like your compensating for something.
Pinata: Heh, looks like your getting the cold shoulder now bass.
*Pinny reaches around and put his arm around Laniins shoulders, but is answered by getting the heal of a stilletto shoe driven through his foot. As candybag jumps back in pain, Laniin scowles and wipes off her shoulder.*
Elfie: Ok, ok, we still got stuff to do. Soul here needs his body back and DA needs to sort out this stuff out with his duo personality here.
Pinata: Hey! Someone heal my foot! Erm, I mean, no need. I feel fine. Ha, like she did any damage.
*Pinata grins and stands up tall as the clavers give him wierd looks. They finally all file out, back into the portal. Pinata waits till the end, holding his face with a grin until the last has gone through. He winces a little before hobbling through himself.*

*The 'Clavers step through the portal to Serra's Realm. A group of Serrans standing nearby cheer as they see DA emerge. The group spots Tyrael, the temporary ruler of Serra's Realm speaking to the council. Tyrael turns around, and upon seeing DA, bows.* DA: Hey Tyrael, no need for formalities. Tyrael: Yes sir. DA: Heh, you guys could learn something from Tyrael here. Bass: Pfft, yea right DA, like I'd ever bow for you. DA: Hmmm...is that a fact? Turn around Bass. *Bass turns around, and sees a large group of Serrans bowing to DA, and also giving Bass a very threatening look.* Bass: DA...you're pushing it... DA: C'mon Bass, you pretty much dared me. Bass: I Forking hate you DA. *bows* Elfie: Oh! I do too! DA: Now that that is cleared up. Let's go find Soul's body. *The group walks off to the place where they first laid eyes on Yawgmoth in his true form. All that it left is a giant crater, and a small black object near the body of it.* Elfie: Hmmm...Soul, I hope you weren't too attached to your body. Soul: What? Why? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BODY?! DA: *Jumps down to the bottom of the crater, then flies back up, holding what's left of Soul's body in his outstretched hand.* Heh...Looks like roadkill Soul. Soul: *sob* My...body... Bass: Oh it's not too bad...Consider it a new look! Soul: NO! I want my body back, just how it was! DA: Bah, fine. Let's see what I can do with my new "powers". *Places Soul's body on the ground, then proceeds to cast Heal on it, causing it to regrow to it's original shape.* Happy? Soul: MY BODY!!! *Removes his soul from ElfieBot, then repossesses his body.* Yay! DA: Now that that is sorted out...I have some things to attend to around the rea- *Sounds of battle are heard from behind the group, where they spoke to Tyrael. The group rushes back to find that a portal had opened, and that Lava Men were spilling out of the hole, attacking any Serrans nearby.* Pinata: What the Fork? Lava world? Why are they here? Stalin: Ask them later. *The group charges into battle, slaying all Lava Men that stand in their path.*

*casts Hydroblasts until he doesn't have any blue mana left, taking out about a half-dozen Lava Men without even swinging his lightsaber*
Elfie: That was pretty cool. Are you actually starting to learn something from me? Piñata: Yeah, laziness. Elfie: Touche.
*Piñata and Elfie go back to killing Lava Men*

*the small group of lava men dwindle quickly to the massive attacks and eventually only a few are left fighting in small pockets. Stalin pulls back out of the action and starts consulting with elfie as the rest of the lava men are mopped up.*
Stalin: They were hessitating, as though confused. I don't think they expected to run into a force right away.
Eflie: Correct. Nor were they a main strike group. They had poor attacks and a weak defense. I think they were scouts, checking this place out.
*DA comes running over*
DA: Ha! They won't defile my Lands with such a wussy force. I mean, the only casualties we even took can be cured quickly.
Elfie: I don't think that this force is even compairable to what their main force would be like. The Volcano Plane has been quiet for some time now and their forces would have certainly grown.
Stalin: We can't let them ravage this land now that we just restored it. Besides, they take Serra's Relm and the clave could be next! We need to organize here. DA, get the elders together. I'll go gather the rest of the clavers. Meet in what is left of the main hall in ten minutes. Oh, and DA, make sure you get a nice defense set up quick. They closed the portal right after they jumped through but another could open at any time.

DA: Good thinking stalin.
*DA rushes over to the Elders, who just finished the remaining force of Lava Men. They see him coming, and bow respectfully.*
DA: Ha, betcha you guys haven't had this much work to do in years.
Elder: Funny.
DA: Ok, to the point. Heal all the wounded as soon as you can, and organize all soldiers possible. Expect another attack at any time...That was only a scouting force...A much larger one could come at any moment. They weren't expecting such strong resistance...But next time they'll be prepared. Make sure you are.
Elder: Yes sir. Are you going to be leaving again?
DA: Yea...the rest of us have to go to Lava World and pay Aratar a little visit...He's been busy lately. Tyrael is in charge again.
Elder: Yes sir.

*Suddenly, a portal opens. Expecting another attack, the Clavers and angels ready their weapons and assume fighting stances, but Piñata waves his hand to signal it's all right as the first three people come through the portal... two men who look like ordinary Conclave soldiers, supporting between them a giant of a man with a dazed, glassy-eyed expression on his face. Two women -- a human and an Elf -- and one Ewok follow them out, then another woman and two men in civilian garb hesitantly step through, looking around nervously. The Elf woman presses a button on a handheld device, and the portal vanishes.*
Tyrael: Who are all these people? Piñata: They're with us. In fact, the Elf is my wife. Bass: I thought they were on a prolonged mission in Westworld? Piñata: Good point. (turning to Greenleaf) Trasta, what happened? Why are you back? Greenleaf: Ashliiey was there. She collapsed the plane. We only barely got out in time. Piñata: Where's Goyle? Greenleaf: He betrayed us. He was a Darkfriend. (gesturing to the large, catatonic man) He used the Cruciatus Curse on Doran. I'm not even sure he has enough of a mind left to heal, now. Piñata: All right. Davies and Lynch, you take Doran back to the Conclave. Make sure Secole is the first healer he sees. Take these civilians with you... they need a new home now, and the Conclave might benefit from them living there anyway. Lynch: Yes, sir. Greenleaf: What about the rest of us? Piñata: I'm going to need you three to accompany us to the Volcano World... your skills might come in handy there. Greenleaf: I have more disturbing news to report, Piñata. Piñata: What now? Greenleaf: Some of our dimensional doubles might be evil. I got close enough to recognize the Nazi leader before I killed him. It was Static, but it wasn't the real Static. Piñata: You killed him? Greenleaf: Yes. Piñata: Good. We might need to off some of our dimensional doubles anyway... from what I understand, each time one of our doubles dies the remaining versions of us get stronger (OOC: Yes, this does mean Static will gain a level).
*Another portal opens, and Stalin comes through it with a large force of Clavers.*

*stalin steps out of the portal flanked by two conclave guards*
Stalin: I have gathered all the forces that we could manage. I left enough guards to protect the main fortress aswell as the capybaras. I have brought with me the polar bears, the badgers, what is left of the Yellow Aces, a large group of guards, and the llama cavalry (though I doubt they will do us much good.) I also brought with me this.
*stalin pulls out from behind him a large banner, the Coat of Arms. He also slides his cloak back to reveal the Baton of Morale.
Stalin: I thought these might come in handy for this attack, given that we might want to stay grouped well enough.

Bass: I see you brought both the Badger Assassins and the Pantless Wonders. Smart thinking. And Fuzzy, too! w00t Stalin: Yeah, he was eager to join us. I tried looking for the Three Demons, but unfortunately I couldn't find 'em. Where'd they get to, anyway?
-=Bass snaps his fingers, and Stalin feels a whiff of hot breath on his neck=-
Stalin: Ohhh....they're summoned. I get it. Now could you please tell them to heel? They're starting to drool down my neck... Bass: But of course...
-=With a gesture, the Demons come to withing reaching distance of Bass=-
Bass: God I love these guys....SO, what are we going to do about scouting? We need some volunteers.

Piñata: We're going to need at least one Elf in any sort of scouting expedition. Stalin, did you bring the Elvish Rangers? Stalin: Only one group of them... I left the others back in the Conclave to defend it if the need arises, but Keldae and about a dozen others are here. Piñata: Good. Find out if any of them want to volunteer. Random Elf: I'll volunteer, sir. Stalin: Good. What's your name, soldier? Elf: Corporal Ereinion, sir.
*The Ewok tugs on Piñata's sleeve and gibbers something in his native language.*
Piñata: Paploo wants to volunteer, too. And I'm going. Greenleaf: Then I'm going, too. If there are any hot women on this plane, I want them before you get a crack at them. Piñata: So that's Krotos, Ereinion, Paploo, myself and Greenleaf. Do we need any more volunteers?

Bass: I think that should be good. You're all skilled at covert operations and stealth and such, it should be alright. Oh, one thing, though, Piñata.
-=Bass grabs Piñata by the front of his shirt and tugs him to within inches of his face=-
Bass: DO NOT ENGAGE THE ENEMY. You are SCOUTING. This means that battle is NOT GOOD as you would probably LOSE. I don't care if you're a planeswalker and an Arend or whatever. Scouts do not fight. So don't. Greenleaf, Krotos, it's your jobs to make sure he doesn't do anything brash. Piñata: I make no guarantees. Bass: Krotos, Greenleaf, you two got it? Krotos: Yes, sir! Greenleaf: Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. -=Rolls her eyes=- Bass: Fine. Elfie, DA, and I will task ourselves with the proper organization of the armies for battle. I've played enough RTS's to know what I'm doing, Elfie has the most analytical mind here, and DA...well, DA got lucky and is now ruler of an entire plane, so he kinda has to be included. DA: You're just afraid of me now, that's all. Afraid and jealous. Bass: -=Turns to DA, his back to the Elders and Serrans, and glares at him, his eyes and right hand, held in front of his chest, aflame=- DA: -=Sticks his tongue out, then runs behind Elfie=- Elfie: Mediate, DA, mediate. DA: How about you do it and I stay here? Bass: See, Elfie, your smarts are rubbing off on him already! Stalin: Ok, enough banter. What am I going to do? Bass: You and Keldae are going to be traveling back and forth between the 'Clave and Serra's Plane to get us all the supplies (ammo for bows, food, LOTS of water, etc.) we need, as well as keep tabs on what's going on at the 'Clave. If Aratar decides to strike there instead of here, we're going to need to reinforce VERY quickly. Laniin: And what exactly am I going to do? Bass: You're going to stay here and provide eye candy for me while I figure out this ar--ULGH
-=Laniin removes her fist from Bass's midsection=-
Laniin: I am not your eye candy. However, I do like your Demons, so I will stay and play with them. If you're lucky, you can glance at me occasionally without me removing your vision. Bass: You are too generous, milady. Laniin: I know.
-=Laniin strolls over to the Demons, who immediately take to her presence=-
Bass: I love it when they play hard to get... Elfie: Yes, a punch in the gut definitely means love. Bass: It does? Elfie: Sarcasm, Bass, sarcasm. Bass: That's what YOU think. Elfie: Don't try that on me. Bass: -=grumble=- Piñata: Ok, so everything's settled, then. My group is going to the Volcano Plane to scout-- Bass: AND NOT ENGAGE IN COMBAT. Piñata: --and engage in minor combat-- Bass: NOT ENGAGE IN COMBAT! Piñata: Fine! NOT engage in combat! Bass: Thank you. Piñata: Bass, Elfie, DA, will stay here to plan and Laniin will stay so Bass can hit on her while she hits him-- Laniin: It's entertaining, to say the least. I like the noises he makes when in pain. Piñata: --and Stalin and Keldae will do supply runs to the 'Clave while keeping it under tabs. Stalin: We will carry supplies as if they were our lives. Elfie: They may be. Stalin: Oh. Then it's good we'll carry them like that. Piñata: Alright. On that wonderful note, we're outta here!
-=Piñata opens up a portal to the Volcano Plane, and after a few short seconds, is followed by Greenleaf, Krotos, Paploo, and Ereinion=-

*Piñata looks around to make sure he hasn't stumbled into a nest of enemies right away.*
Krotos: Well, this is certainly desolate. Are you sure we're not back on Phyrexia? Piñata: I'm sure. It smells just as bad, but it's sulfur, not oil.
*Paploo, holding a hand over his nose, gibbers his agreement with Piñata's assessment.*
Ereinion: So, what do we do now? Split up to cover more ground, or stay together in case we're engaged? Krotos: Er... Bass said not to engage the enemy. Greenleaf: Ereinion's right, though. Bass can't stop the enemy from engaging us. Piñata, what the fork are you doing? Piñata: Reaching out with the Force. I figure we can do this quickly if I can get a good read for troop numbers, placements and species from extreme range. Greenleaf: And? Piñata: Aratar's been busy. Remember how he had united some of the Dark Lords under his rule last time we faced him? Well, now it seems the only ones not allied with him are Bane, Yawgmoth and Jagang. Greenleaf: So what can we expect to deal with here? Piñata: A lot. In addition to the obvious Lava Men, Golgothas and Furbies, there are also Orcs, Dementors, Trollocs, various humans -- probably Murgos -- and at least two Myrdraal. Krotos: He has Fades? Piñata: Apparently. Ereinion: What's that? Piñata (looking up in the sky where Ereinion is pointing): Draghkar. Get back through the portal now -- if it spots us, we're forked.
*The scouting party scrambles back through the portal.*
Bass: You didn't engage them, did you? Piñata: No. But they did have scouts of their own, and we may have been spotted. Where's Stalin? Bass: He went on a supply run -- he should be back soon. Why? Piñata: He's sort of an authority on some of the creatures we'll be facing. I need to speak with him.

*stalin makes his way back from another supply run, this time hauling ammo for the polar bears. Behind him about 500 centurians carry it all. Going throug the portal, he sees bass and pinata huddled together, talking.*
Stalin (murmoring to himself): I wonder what thats all about.
*pinata looks over his shoulder and sees stalin and calls him over.*
Stalin: Whats up?
Pinata: Their armies are better equiped then we thought. They have trollocs, Draghkar, and even some Myrdralle.
Stalin: Fades? Its been quite some time since they last traveled this far south. Aratars arm has grown long indeed. My days fighting against them in the north were long ago, but I still know some tricks on how to take them out. As for the trollocs, our troops can take them out no problem. How many did you see there?
Pinata: Oh, a few thousand.
Stalin: ... ... ...okkkkaaay then, maybe we will have to be a little more careful.
Pinata: Thats also not including the tens of thousands of other troops that have made it there. We could take them if we trapped them well enough but the Draghkar are excellent scouts, what will we do about them?
Bass: Uhhh, guys, what the hell are you talking about anyway? I know quite a bit about my enimes but I've never heard of these things.
Stalin: Trollocs are the meat troops I guess you could say. They come from their own planeand have stayed their for a while. Our allies have always kept them trapped there but somehow they managed to make it out unnoticed. Anywho, they are large creatures, 10-12 feet tall and very muscular. They have snouts and horns but fight more like goblins then anything. Thats why they have the myrdralle, or fades. They lead the trollocs and keep them in line. A fade can strike fear into a best soldier in even a glance. They appear like a shadow, a dark creature that moves like lightening with a thin, pitch black sword. Even if you kill them, they will flail on the ground for hours, killing anything that gets in its way. They are truly creatures to be feared. I've seen one take out a whole group of 20 strong soldiers, then rip off their commanders face all in a flash. The Draghkar though, will be our main problem. They appear much like a man with bat wings, but their eyes are huge, and their skin pale. They sing a song that lures their pray and instead of biting, they will suck out the soul of the victim with a kiss. It is in essence, a dementor with wings. As scouts they prove to be very powerful for they are hard to kill and even if you do kill them, their master will know when they dont return.
Bass: Wow... uhh, so what are our options?
*stalin, bass, and pinata huddle around to discuss the plan of attack.*

*walks in* LK: you guys need some help ? LK: i have some giant amps, maybe i can make them loud enough so the sound waves will disable the trolls from doing anything other than covering their ears, if anything they might accidently kill each other from the pain because they would be wailing their arms and what not. The sound might also be loud enough to superimpose the singing from the Draghkar, if all else fails i can just do whatever you guys have come up with *bass rolls his eyes* *stalin falls down laughing* *LK smokes his cigarette then coughs* *everyone starts to laugh* Bass: sure, why not?

Bass: Stalin, next time you make a supply run, watch your ass. I'm guessing LK here probably followed you through. We don't need anyone we don't want coming through to do the same. Piñata: Wait, we want LK? Bass: I never said that. However, since he's here, we might as well let him tag along. If he gets out of line, we just blast him into oblivion and be done with it. Piñata: I like that idea. Bass: You would. Stalin: Well, you shouldn't worry about more people following me through. Bass: You'll be more careful and cautious? Stalin: Pfft, no. That was the last supply run - we're all set to attack. Bass: Good. The armies should be ready shortly...as soon as DA and Elfie get finished arguing about which should be the on-field strategist.
DA: But I'm the ruler here! They'll listen to me! Elfie: But DA, we both know I'm more strategically minded. Your strategies usually involved throwing men at the enemy until they fall over. DA: But we have enough to do that! Elfie: Besides, shouldn't you, as their ruler, be out in front, leading them to glorious victory? DA: I suppose... Elfie: And wouldn't you like to be the one to plant the flag of the Conclave over Aratar's dead corpse? DA: YES! Elfie: Then it's settled. I'll be strategist and you'll be out in front. DA: OK! Let's go!
Bass: Gotta love it. Piñata: Wait...I wanted to plant the flag of the Conclave over Aratar's dead corpse... Bass: SHH! You'll throw off Elfie's plan. Piñata: Ooohhhh. I get it. Bass: Exactly. I find it curious that for all of Elfie's anti-Red stance, the magic that best suits him is a Red spell. Group: Huh? Bass: Curse of the Fire Penguin. Group: -=Blank stares=- Bass: Consumes and confuses. Group: -=More blank stares=- Bass: Nevermind. Let's get everyone a final check! We're movin' out!

Elfie: Actually, I'm not much of a strategist...all I've got are these basic battle plans...
Bass: Elfie, these are precise locations down to the centimetre of where you want every single troop standing.
Elfie: Yes, but I still haven't worked out response plans to the less expected events, like a meteorite randomly taking out the entire left flank. The destruction of the right flank by meteorite was fairly easy actually. The incline that the left flank was on allowed them to swoop down early in the simulation while the main body split and covered the right, using the the crater as a sort of trench to set up a crossfire to keep the enemy pinned.
Bass: Simulation?
Elfie: Yeah, I run them in my head.
Bass: Right...what about the more expected things, like they kill some of us?
Elfie: Kill? Nonsense. If everyone does their job we will engage the enemy before they are aware of our presence at every junction.
*a computer starts beeping in Elfie's pocket*
Elfie: What's this? There is a large meteorite heading directly towards our location.
Bass: Don't you ever get sick of irony?
Elfie: I haven't yet. However, *glances at uneasy troops*, I will admit this is not the best time to deal with an incoming meteorite. Piñata, could you maybe destroy it?

*Piñata hits the meteor with several Hydroblasts, destroying it on the last one.*
Piñata: Scythe, Elfie, I'm out of blue mana again. If we need blue spells to be cast, you two are gonna have to do it.
