Nezha had returned to the celestial realm to dissuade any suspicion on him, since Yellow Tusk and Peng were released, the tension rose, the combined armies of heaven were almost certain they will attack to try and overthrow the Jade Emperor. Again.

"Don't you find this is weird Yellow Tusk?" Peng asked Yellow Tusk, Azure was away so he wouldn't hear as the two conversed in private. They sat on the wooden chairs, the wood was old and it had cracked and split over the years. The large dinning table was similar. "Yes. We have been trapped away for who knows how long, and the when we are finally free, Azure tells us the the Third Lotus Prince wants to help us in our endeavour." Yellow Tusk agreed with The golden winged eagle, "Exactly! It's too sudden! he was once willing to lay down his life for the Jade Emperor." Peng exclaimed crossing his arms over his chest, and a frown on his face. Peng's distrust towards Nezha was clear, however, he only spoke about it whenever to Yellow Tusk, Who also was not trusting towards Nezha. They could only discuss this in private, when they were certain Nezha or Azure weren't listening in.

"I do not think Azure allowing him into this is a good idea, I suspect the Lotus Prince will start to cause troubles and that this alliance may be as fragile as a thin thread, just waiting to detach." Yellow Tusk said it was silent in the old and decrepit dinning room, eventually, Peng broke the silence "Well, I don't know about you, but I would like to get out of this dirt pile soon." He said in a more calm voice than the one he was speaking in before, "Indeed." Yellow Tusk agreed before a rather uncomfortable fell upon them.

it remained like this for at least ten minutes, before Azure had enter the dinning room "Brothers!" He announced his presence as he walked in "It seems like an eternity since we all have gathered together." He sounded happy as a smile adorned his features, Peng let out a whole hearted laugh "Ut has brother!" He exclaimed as his beak curved up into a smirk, like the golden winged eagle and the wise elephant was not talking ill of The Third Lotus Prince only a few moments ago. Azure sat down, the chair was was bigger than the other ones.

As the weeks pass, Nezha had began to take it out of his way to "prepare" them for the battle against the armies of heaven (which he is also preparing). He took a little trip to Master Zhushi training temple to see what Mei, Tang, Pigsy and Sandy was doing, he suspected Mk to be at flower fruit mountain still has he was not with them.

'I do not understand this.... Why would WE need to train against a battle that we are going to succeed in!?'  Peng thought, he had an opinion on Nezha, that opinion was not a good one. Peng hated Nezha, he didn't want to follow his order when he forced him to train, taking periodic breaks to rest. During those breaks Azure would talk to Nehza (or at least try to), Nezha would only respond in a few words. Yellow Tusk and Peng though..

"I do not understand why he's making us do this." Yellow Tusk complained as he walked over to Peng, who nodded "He thinks that just because he's helping making this dirt pile more bearable to live in. Like he has no faith of us failing." Peng said in a hushed tone at he glared at the Lotus Prince, however Peng spoke the truth Nezha had been helpful to prepare and provide this with a more stable living conditions, he was still immensely disliked by the Golden Winded Eagle. Yellow Tusk looked over to Azure and Nezha who was making very small conversations with one note 'yes' or 'no' answers, it didn't take Azure long to join his brothers.
