The Blue Dragon community within planet earth was an extremely cautious one.

Firstly, they hid their only entrance deep within the Pacific Ocean, as far away from pesky human eyes as physically possible, protected by kilometers of water.

Then, they put in place an advanced stealth force field as their second layer of defense, mostly to avoid their loud roars and mechanical parts from being detected by sonars and sensors when they were out of their paradise for the occasional trip around the ocean.

Then there was the massive killing room which could easily massacre millions of human beings or hundreds of thousands of their mechas.

And finally, their hidden entrance in the form of a portal.

All of these measures pointed to one very clear fact.

The Blue Dragons were in hiding, and they did not want to get involved with the rest of the world.

It was the only logical conclusion, of course. If not, why would they live so peacefully for so many uncountable number of years when they had the power to openly rule the entire world?

And what were the layers of stealth and protection for if not for defending against a powerful enemy, the likes of which the world definitely did not have?historical

Apart from these logical conclusions, there was also the matter of the alien mind behind the rapid rise of the Horse Gavarels and the other oceanic civilisations.

The alien was obviously aware of the existence of devour as he had made precautions to shield his chosen race, the Horse Gavarels, from its power.

The alien probably thought to use the Horse Gavarels as shock troops to secure Devour when its location was finally revealed.

And at the same time, although the Horse Gavarels and the Blue Dragons were both biomechs, they were also probably not in the same faction, as evidenced by the Horse Gavarel Leader's attempt to negotiate with the Blue Dragon.

The fact that they were not in the same faction, as well as the fact that the Blue Dragons, despite all of their efforts to hide themselves, decided to reveal themselves to this alien who was in possession of the experimental mecha core "Clone", also pointed to an additional conclusion.

The experimental mecha cores were extremely precious! To the point that the Blue Dragons considered them more valuable than their continued separation from the world!

All these thoughts ran rampant in my head as we entered the portal without hesitation, and with a boatload of caution and wariness.

Whoosh!

One second we were in a gloomy underwater cavern, the next second we were in a vast open grassland! A massive river winded lazily across it towards what seemed like a cliff, ending in a huge waterfall.

Very, very far away in all directions, silhouettes of massive mountains could be seen.

Remember, the silhouettes were despite my powerfully enhanced eyesight! Those mountains were really, really far away. Probably a few hundred kilometers away!

Clear blue skies with only the occasional fluff of cloud framed the horizon, creating a vibrant contrast with the sea of green that surrounded us.

"Where are we?" I whispered to my big bro.

"Wrong question." He whispered back.

"What's the right question then?" I asked.

"Where are the other dragons?" He whispered as he scanned the area around us.

There were no indications of the dragons.

However, as soon as I cast my resonance out, I could VERY clearly sense the presence of at least a hundred or so mega powerful biomechs!

I gulped and opened my mouth to tell my big bro about it.

But before I could do that...

GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! GRUU!! GRUUU!! GRUUUU!

"My dearest and super handsome husband!! You ugly witch of a mate was bullying me reaaally badly!! HU HU HU!!!" The AI translated the roars in a flat and emotionless tone.

Whoosh!

A strange shimmer appeared somewhere in front of us and at least twenty Blue Dragons appeared.

"Light refraction? They are able to hide in plain sight? Impressive!" Bruce Pang whispered in surprise and in awe.

GRAAAAAAAAA!!!! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! GRAAAAAA!!!! GRABAAA!!!!

"Damn you cheap slut! Stay away from Bluey! He must be tired from negotiating with the disgusting seahorses! Stay the hell away before I bite your skinny butt!!" The main wife roared angrily.

There was no need for introductions, I could identify them very easily.

The main wife was a massive blue dragon that was almost as fearsome and as imposing as the Blue Dragon dude. She was at least a hundred eighty meters in size, and equally wicked horns protruded from her equally wicked face. In fact, if not for the difference in their sizes, I probably would not be able to tell them both apart.

The concubine was a much smaller specimen, probably at around a hundred and thirty meters in size, with two simple unicorn horns and a rather simple face and a sinister smile. Its scales were also a more subdued blue in color, and had none of the main wife's deep luster.

Three small (relatively) Blue Dragons followed behind her like three cute baby ducklings. Only that they weren't cute baby ducklings, but horrific evil serpents with a nasty bite and a nastier breath. One of them, the smallest one, looked decidedly different from the rest, with his father's wicked horns and a shinier set of scales.

Behind the five of them were around twenty other Blue Dragon warriors, all of them at least a hundred and fifty meters in size with simple horns and pale scales like the concubine.

I instantly understood the situation.

Blue Dragon Dude was probably royalty who married another royalty, but had no children. So he married another Blue Dragon who was, alas, not royalty. He had three kids with that second wife, and the third one seemed to carry his genes.

Of course the two wives didn't get along well.

One was a high and mighty but childless royalty, the other was a low born but had three kids with the blood of the King.

"Their squabble might be our only hope of surviving this mess." I told my big bro grimly, a mere split second before the sledgehammer fell on us.
