The Poacher War

The Poacher War was the war fought between Queen Starkeeper and Darkheart. The main battle lasted for one day and saw Darkheart's defeat.

Basics
The Poacher War was never really declared, it was just a conflict between Starkeeper and Darkheart. Dark was a former friend of Star's, until turning on her and starting a war. After many small battles, the war ended in summer of 2020 with Darkheart's death. This was also the war that resulted in Shadow's cybernetic upgrades.

Beginning
After moving from Phyrrithia, Starkeeper and her parents lived in The Hidden World. It was there where she met a young Screaming Deathgripper named Darkheart and his parents Mamba and Copperhead. The two would spend time together, laughing and playing among the coral formations. When Dark grew older, Copperhead faked Star's parents' deaths and allowed Starkeeper to take him as prisoner to escape his son. Dark would then take over the poachers his father lead and proceeded to hunt down Starkeeper and other valuable assets he found along the way, including Sunny.


 * War declared (kinda)
 * Friendship broken
 * Copperhead found guilty by Starkeeper

Kidnapping
Dark found the Realm's location and attacked with his fellow poachers. They killed Hazel the last remaining Hungarian Horntail and kidnapped Starkeeper and Electron. Before she was taken, Dilly was instructed to inform Pointed Mountain about what had occurred, hoping that GirlZilla could help. Star and Elec were brought to Darkheart's Stronghold, where they were forced to be tortured and fight in a ring. However, during this time, Darkheart learned of a more valuable asset: Electron's newly-hatched daughter Anikin. Dark would focus on obtaining the dragonet, but didn't know where she was hiding. Meanwhile, a Razorwhip named Arthur began helping Starkeeper and Electron by giving them fresh food and water. He was killed later on when Dark found out.

At Pointed Mountain, GirlZilla and Snowflake were coming up with a plan to save the two prisoners. She decided to create strong dragon armor that was a mixture of Gronckle and Eruptodon iron. Each dragon was assigned armor of their own to fly into battle. GirlZilla also prepared to make a second robot dragon named Mechagodzilla TYP2, as a first attempt malfunctioned and was unrepairable. The Pointed Dragons then set up a portal leading directly to the Stronghold's area, where they would attack.

 * Arthur killed
 * Dragon armor and Mechagodzilla made

Final Battle
On the day of the attack, the dragons all flew in a massive flock, with dinosaurs on land and aquatic reptiles in the nearby sea. Mothra the Slithersong lead the charge, letting out a roar signaling the attack had begun. The Stronghold then formed a force field around itself to ensure Starkeeper and Electron couldn't be reached. Darkheart's poachers swarmed the oncoming threat. Kylo Ren summoned a massive storm for his Skrills to fly into and charge. Anikin, who had snuck into the battle grounds, flew into the thunder. Kylo Ren was extremely worried for his daughter, as young Skrills could accidentally kill themselves if they went into a storm. Ani was struck by lightning and it chained to the ground. When the smoke cleared, Anikin was now a Titan Skrill. She electrocuted poachers who came to gather the prize and joined her father in the clouds.

Darkheart himself would then join the battle. He proceeded to knock several dragons out of sky with his spikes, including Chameleon. He saw Snowflake, a valuable Titan Blood Snow Wraith, and went after her. However, he was intercepted by Shadow and Halloween. The duo fought the Screaming-Deathgripper and GirlZilla jumped on his back to stab him with her sword. Dark flung her off and was about to finish off Hallow. Shadow saved Hallow's life and Hallow retreated. Dark then proceeded to rip Shadow's eye out with his stinger, Shadow falling to the ground.

Mechagodzilla was able to fly past the poachers using his force field and landed atop the Stronghold. Using his knife hand, he cut into the roof and destroyed its forcefield with his maser's. When it was down, GirlZilla, Snowflake, Kylo Ren, Anikin, Waterslink and Mechagodzilla helped get Star and Electron out. Once free, Darkheart loomed over the dying Shadow, preparing his acidic breath. Suddenly, the ground shook as the Queen of the Stars transformed into Titanus Moonhidorah. Dark turned around in awe and fear. He was picked up by one of Starkeeper's jaws and held tightly. GirlZilla went to check on Shadow, but found no pulse. She turned around and witnessed as Darkheart's wings were torn clean off him and he was slammed into the ground like a comet. The remaining poachers retreated and the battle was won.


 * Darkheart and poachers defeated
 * Anikin turned Titan
 * Electron and Starkeeper rescued
 * Moonhidorah revealed
 * Shadow crippled

Aftermath
When Shadow returned to Pointed, he was equipped with a new cybernetic eye and side. Anikin was able to shock him back to life. Shadow was a bit confused, but was quickly filled in on Darkheart's defeat and Starkeeper's rescue. He was greeted by Halloween, who was glad to see his friend alright. On his next trip to the Realm, Shadow was created by a large statue made in his honor.

More than a year after the events of the Poacher War, Electron would revive threats by the Flightmare Slayer to hand over Anikin or she would revive Darkheart. However, it is unknown if she will actually do this.


 * Shadow now a cyborg
 * Statue made in Shadow's honor
 * Threats of Darkheart's revival by Slayer
