Wings of fire: the Scorching

Assault on the capital

4 hours later
The palace was huge! Bigger than the dragon palace. Serena had given Crimson and Scorpion a tour of the palace before they joined the scavenger king, or as the guards referred to him, the president, who was rather well guarded. Over the past few hours, the president and Serena had gotten to know and trust Crimson and Scorpion.  Crimson had also noticed the princess's odd behavior towards Crimson. She spoke with a shyness that wasn't there when she talked to other scavengers. Crimson started to look into the matter a little when the roof of the dinning room started to become solid ice.
"What's that?" Asked a guard.
Then a huge sky wing burst through the roof and lit the palace up with deadly fire. The guards started shooting at the dragon and the president ran, accompanied by 2 guards. Luckily, all the dragons had known pre assault what Crimson, scorpion, and the princess looked like.
"Run!" Crimson yelled. He picked up a plate and threw it at the dragon. The dragon acted like it hurt a lot more than it did.
Serena, Crimson, and scorpion ran out of the burning palace. Dragons flew over the city, throwing ice wing spears randomly, and none of them came close to Crimson, scorpion, or Serena.
As they raced toward the extraction point, more scavenger birds flew into the sky only to be picked off by a dragon. There were only 30 dragons taking part in the attack, but they were 30 of the strongest, most deadly dragons in all of Pyrrha.
They finally got to the farthest West Point of the wall that surrounded the scavenger city, guided by overhead dragons. Then Jade squad came. They landed in a half circle around the three, looking as menacing as possible. Crimson looked around with a face of terror, as did Scorpion. Serena was frozen, paralyzed with fear. Willow knocked Crimson and scorpion against a wall. Crimson faked unconsciousness, as did Scorpion. Crimson opened his eyes just long enough to see hammerhead pick up the unconscious princess, then he was lifted into the sky by Willow.
2 hours later
Crimson was thrown aggressively into a stone chamber, along with Scorpion. As they rolled to a stop, Serena ran up to them.
"Are you two all right?" She asked, looking both concerned and terrified.
The two got up and Crimson said,
"Besides being taken prisoner by dragons, I'm fine."
"The sarcasm isn't appreciated," she replied. "But more to the point, why did they take us?"
"Well, you are the president's daughter, maybe they think something will come of that." Said Scorpion.
"Well then why did they take us?" Asked Crimson.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Serena replied.
Just then the heavy stone slab that blocked the exit opened and queen clear sight walked through the doorway, two predators followed her, took Crimson and Scorpion, and walked out.
"Take it off and go back in," the predator holding Crimson said, gesturing to the enchanted bracelet that made Crimson appear as a scavenger. The predator didn't know that all he had to do was click a button and Crimson would change into the less deadly Crimson without fire scales.
So after Crimson was back to normal and had his bearings, he walked into the cell.
"Good," said clear sight in scavenger tongue to Serena, who was trying but failing to look confident. "Crimson is here."
Serena looked as though she had seen a ghost, turning pale.
Then her eyes went to the bracelet Crimson was wearing.
"So, tell me princess, why would the once peacefully scavengers suddenly lash out at dragons, starting this war?" Queen clear sight asked with a menacing smile on her face.
Serena cocked her head at the queen.
"What are you talking about? The dragons attacked us first." She said.
"Is that what your father told you?" Asked clear sight.
"I watched it happen with my own eyes. There were fifty dragons from what I saw. They killed hundreds of us, mercilessly." Serena said angrily.
"Really, when was this?" Asked the queen.
"Five months ago." Serena said matter of factly.
"No such attack took place." The queen replied.
"Your majesty," interrupted a predator, "why are we questioning this useless prisoner?" He asked, looking deeply concerned about something.
"Good point." Said clear sight. She strutted out and motioned to Crimson to follow.
That's odd, Crimson thought, why would the predator interrupt the queen? They usually keep to themselves.
Crimson remembered the invisibility mode he had set into the bracelet. He went around a corner to where the guards couldn't see, and activated it.
The predator was definitely uneasy. Every twenty feet or so, he stopped and looked back to see if anyone was tailing him, but Crimson was invisible, so the predator didn't notice.
Finally they reached the predator dominated part of the palace. He headed straight for the council of alphas. The entrance was guarded, but the guards were on the edge of the council room doorway, so Crimson snuck by. The predator stood and bowed before the alphas.
"You're excellencies, I come bearing news." It said, as an invisible Crimson watched from the corner.
"Speak." Said sharp claw.
"The dragons were questioning the princess, when they asked about the scavenger motives for war, the princess almost told them of the attack, but I stopped her." It replied.
"The scavenger is becoming a liability to our plan, you must execute the princess, tonight." Ordered sharp claw.
The predator bowed again and left.
This doesn't make any sense, what plan? Crimson thought. It doesn't matter, I need to save the princess.
Crimson raced through the palace just fast enough not to be suspicious.
Once he arrived, he told the guards,
"I need to see the prisoner." And they happily let him in.
The princess stood in the corner, and when she saw Crimson, she shook in fear.
"I don't have much time so I'll be quick. Someone is coming to kill you tonight, so I'm getting you out of here." Crimson said.
"You mean you're gonna let me go?" She asked with a small hint of hope in her voice.
"No, you will stay in my quarters, which are nicer than this, but I'm stopping your death, and then I need to ask you some questions.
