After several more grueling battles for several more weeks, Borealis called a meeting, one that Starsand and his friends attended, as well as his mother. "Now that we're all here, I have an announcement to make." Borealis took a deep breath, then said, "Our troops will be bringing the fight to them, now. We're going to go to the Brotherhood's base, fight them, possibly kill Tidepool-" "No, I'm killing Tidepool, and I'm not going to show that lazy, sanctimonious sea slug of a dragon any mercy!" Searipper growled, glaring daggers at Dolphin, who was sitting across from her.

"Thank you, Searipper, now, we shall leave tommorow, at dawn. General Frostblossom, you will lead your divisions of RainWings, IceWings, and RainWing and IceWing hybrids to the Brotherhood's base, and you will knock out and kill any guards that you find in the tunnels. Commander Otter, you will lead your troop of MudWings and SkyWings, as well as any MudWing or SkyWing hybrids to the front lines tommorow. Seargent Nile, you, along with Grain, will lead your troop of SandWings, as well as any SandWing hybrids right behind Commander Otter's troops. Colonel Ceolocanth, you, along with Dolphin, will lead your troops of SeaWings and SeaWing hybrids to the western front. The rest of you will be under me. DISMISSED!"

The next day, all of the troops headed out towards the Phantom Brotherhood's base. The other army was waiting for them. "CHARGE!!!" Commander Otter howled, sending all of the troops of both armies in a frenzy to fight. Starsand nervously flew behind Borealis, unsure of what to do. "Go fight, Starsand!" Borealis ordered. Starsand flew through the meelee, anxious to get away. He hated fighting. It made him want to send his meals up the way they came in.

He slashed several throats, stabbed several with his tail, and snapped several dragon necks. A dragon roared, "FOR HYBRIDS!!!" and charged. Several minutes later, Starsand was distracted by a movement near the entrance to the Phantom Brotherhood's base. A few guards in armor, like the ones that he, Sky, and Sea had killed when they were escaping, came out carrying a dragon-like creature, though it was hard to tell what it was. They carried the thing over to a group of thorn bushes and dumped the creature there.

Starsand located Searipper in the crowd, locked in combat with a SandWing several times bigger than her. "The Master wants you dead, Half-breed. And I'm going to be the one to do it." the SandWing hissed. Starsand darted in, slashed the SandWing's throat and stabbed his tail barb into the SandWing's stomach, moving away so that the SandWing could fall to the ground. "No, you will not." a voice snarled, close by. Starsand looked up, and saw Sea staring at a familiar looking SkyWing with SeaWing glow-in-the-dark stripes on his legs, sides, and neck.

"Spruce? Is that you?" "That is not my name, Half-breed. My name is Infernodeath."
