Draconian War: Retaliation

It was time to get off the ground and head for Draconia. Callie and Marie gave their children one last kiss before preparing to blast up to the Inkblazer and their kids waved at them as they were getting on their shuttle. Two hours later, it was time to launch. All of the ships blasted off and made their way until they reached space. All of the shuttles in the Squidbeak Splatoon docked on the Inkblazer until everybody was on-board.

Once everyone was in space, Brandon contacted Callie and Marie to explain why they were in the same place as the earthquake.

"You didn't feel an earthquake. What you felt was the shockwaves from our main engines. Our ship was buried under thousands of layers of coral, having been underwater for thousands of years. As our ship broke free from the coral, the shockwaves travelled through the water. I can understand why you thought our launch sequence from underwater was an earthquake.", he explained.

Callie and Marie understood Brandon's explanation and then everyone set a course for Draconia. The engines fired off and the ships shot towards the planet. Arriving in orbit, they set their cloaks and began descending on smaller ships. As they started prepping their weapons and equipment, Flurry Heart spotted a green light flashing in the distance. Smolder saw the light as well and realized the pattern was morse code. Pulling out a pad of paper and watching the light, she looked at a signal chart and recorded what was being flashed.

"We're being signaled. The light is blinking out the words: "Come Here".", she said to everyone over her radio.

Flurry sent her and the Young Six to make sure this was not a trap. They investigated the source and saw a familiar face from when they were mapping the year before.

"It's Leon and the others who are not following Koval.", Smolder reported after a minute.

"That's great to hear, Smolder. Bring them over to us.", replied Flurry.

Once everyone had met Leon and heard the story he had for them, Brandon was disturbed. He agreed that Koval needed to let go and keep going with life. They had landed in a remote area of the planet where patrols rarely searched, so they were safe. The soldiers split up and started making their way to the outskirts of Draconia's capitol. Not only was the capitol where the Emperor's palace was located, but it was also where the launching area was for space battles. It was now or never.
