Sorry this took so long. I'm a little... distracted, or do I? Anyway, this is the 6th chapter, more like a bit heartbreaking chapter. I promise you'll enjoy this.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at Mighty Eagle's cave the newly formed heist crew of Red, Chuck, Bomb, Aggie, Silver, Mighty Eagle, Leonard, and Courtney had gathered to hear the plan. The power struggle between Red and Leonard wasn't showing any signs of going, either.

"Each of you has been selected because you are the best in your field...," said Leonard, before adding, "that we could find."

The group scoffed at Leonard's rude remark.

"Okay, now that's hurtful," Aggie complimented.

"Your skills will be put to the test, facing this-" Using a pointer, Leonard dramatically revealed a picture of the third island. "As you can clearly see, this is a-"

"Volcano!" Red interrupted him. "A volcano is what my assistant was going to say." Red tried to grab the pointer from Leonard, but Leonard did not want to give it up.

"Assistant? You're the assistant. I'll take that!" Leonard said as he struggled to get the pointer back.

Red held on to it as tightly as he could. "No, no, no, nope. I'm the leader."

Silver raised her pen, which caused Red and Leonard to stop fighting over the pointer.

"Actually, it's a composite volcano, you can tell by the height and the clearly apparent vent clusters."

"Vent clusters. I was gonna say that," Leonard said defensively.

Aggie groaned, "Duh. I should've known that. A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, like you said, is a conical volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice and ash. that's why it's called stratovolcano. Comes from the word 'strata', which mean. built up of many layers. Obviously, this one is either a dormant or extinct volcano since maybe it might not erupt for a long while because they just made it as a superweapon, and if that's a superweapon, under it was actually lab to operate the weapon."

Silver was flattered by Aggie's explanation, "Wow, how did you know all that?"

"You're talking to the girl who just graduated college, and I've been studying volcano all my life. It's a thing. studying natural science is kinda my thing. And the lab part, I've been there many, many time."

"Wow, you've been experience a lot."

"You got that right!"

"Okay, forget I said volcano. This is..., like what Aggie said, it's a superweapon!" Red declared.

The group gasped.

"Weird, 'cause it's looks just like a volcano," Bomb said.

"Yup, and here's the scary part: this is their psychotic leader!" Leonard said as he pointed to the new image on the screen without looking at it. He didn't know the image was an embarrassing selfie he had taken. Noticing the odd looks from the group, Leonard looked at the image. "Whoops! How did that get in there? Next!"

Every image was shown on screen was Leonard taking selfies with costumes and filters.

"Courtney!"

"I mean, you took them." Courtney reminded him.

Red stepped in, taking over the slideshow with an image of Leonard wearing a costume of Red. "Ahem This is their psychotic leader."

The screen clicked to a photo of the majestic, evil eagle Zeta.

Mighty Eagle stared at the photo and squealed for a while as Aggie noticed him like that, and he screamed loudly. "AAHHH!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, buddy, do you know her?" Red asked.

"What me?" Mighty Eagle fumbled. "No! Definitely not. Absolutely not. I've never seen her before in my life. Who is that? I don't know!" He grinned sheepishly.

No one knew what to say because it was so obvious that Mighty Eagle was lying.

"Liar," Aggie said quietly.

Finally, Red spoke up. "Not terribly convincing, but moving on."

"Great! What's the plan?" Silver asked him.

"Alright, here's what we're looking at, folks," Red pondered. "Step one: Travel undetected to Eagle Island."

Red racked his brain, as he tried to come up with a plan on the fly. Silver was listening intently and taking notes.

"Step two," Red continued hesitantly, "We're gonna break into the superweapon.".

Red was still talking. "And step three: Deactivate that superweapon and escape, hopefully before both our islands are destroyed and we all die. So, uh, that's it!"

Silver looked at her notes and circled the words "no plan" repeatedly.

"Right," she said, "So, I just have a few questions."

"What? Why?! I just explained everything. It's a foolproof plan." Red was dumbfounded by Silver's boldness. She was the newbie! He was the pro!

"Sorry to disagree with you, Red, but your plan is like a summary of your plan," Aggie cut off.

"Yeah. How do we sneak onto the island? What exactly is the superweapon? How do we deactivate it? And when you say 'escape', how do you plan to do that exactly?" Silver asked with rapid-fire delivery. "'Cause I feel like this is a pretty crucial thing to figure out."

"We can't just go there unarmed. We need weapons, gadgets, and even my magic. I didn't just bring my wand staff for nothing," Aggie suggested.

"Sure we need a bit of your magic when there's an emergency," Silver agreed. "You know, you should change your title. The 'Friendship Teacher' thing has a lesser role for the mission. Since you have magic, why don't you change your title to 'Diplomatic Magician'?"

"'Diplomatic Magician'? What the heck does that mean?!"

"Well, you're expert on magic, and you're the only one who has magic powers."

"Well, you got a point there. Fine. But I'm still keeping the title 'Friendship Teacher', because I still want to reason with them that destroying our island isn't the answer of their freezing island problem!"

"Oh, please, we don't need magic," Leonard pissed off the idea, "I mean, we already know our drill and our role, so magic wasn't part of the plan."

"Just give her a chance. That's the only power she has," Silver pointed.

"And friendship reasoning! Don't forget that!" Aggie snapped.

"Why isn't Silver in charge?" Leonard asked. He was trying to wind Red up even more.

Chuck wrapped his wing around his sister, "Told you she's super smart."

Aggie rolled her eyes, and muffled silently, "More like a know-it-all."

"Hey, guys, hold on a second. Please," Red said, trying to keep attention on him. It wasn't working, though. Everyone was more interested in what Silver had to say. However, the look on Aggie's face was like she's the only one who's not interested, but went with the flow anyway.

"Mighty Eagle?" Silver called him.

Mighty Eagle was startled, "What, what? What are you looking at?"

"Do you have an Eagle Island map?"

Mighty Eagle quickly walked over to a wall and struck a dramatic pose. It was obvious he was trying to hide something behind his body.

"What? No, nooo! There's no map," Might Eagle told them, but then he accidentally bumped into the wall he was trying to keep covered, causing a map to unroll for all of them to see. The map read, 'This Is a Map of Eagle Island.'

"Oh, it's a map," Courtney noticed.

"Yeah, it's a map," Red repeated.

"Obviously, he has one since he's an eagle," Aggie added.

Silver stood up, and pushed Mighty Eagle aside to get the map.

But Mighty Eagle's failed trickery was quickly overshadowed by Aggie's humming voice.

She was there, squeezing her head as she felt something in the Force.

"What is it, Ags? Do you feel something?" Red asked.

"I feel sudden presence in the Force, like a giant ice ball coming straight towards us," she whispered.

Silver went outside the cave, and looked out at the sky. Suddenly, her eyes went wide with fear, and she gasped. "Hey, guys..."

They all looked out the doorway, only to see a giant ice ball flying right toward them!

"Run!" Leonard screamed , as they tried to escape before the giant chunk of ice hit. The team ran through the dark cave screaming.

"Emergency exit! All the way down!" Mighty Eagle shouted as the gang ran towards the exit.

Chuck opened the exit door first, but felt that it's a dead end, and there was no stairs to send them down. "Well, that's not safe." He turned to see everyone running towards the exit, and warned them. "Wait, stop!"

Red ran through the door, but almost fell to his death when Leonard pulled him back. Red helped Chuck back inside the cave.

"Seriously, he made an emergency exit on his mountain with no stairs or elevator or something," Aggie groaned.

"Everyone, hop on!" In a panic, Mighty Eagle screamed and threw the birds and pigs onto his back before jumping from the cave and flying through the air and out of danger in the nick of time.

Behind them they saw the giant ice ball fully collide with the top of Eagle Mountain. It broke off a large piece of the summit, and it was heading straight towards them.

Aggie pointed her wand staff at the ice ball, and said the spell. "TELEKINESIS MAGIC AURA RAY!" A magic white aura immediately emerged from Aggie's wand staff, and the aura wrapped the whole giant ice ball. Aggie pushed the ice ball from them with her magic, and pulled forward above them, which crashed into the ocean. The team couldn't believe what had just happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riding through the air on Mighty Eagle's back, the team was still in shock.

"Wow, that was crazy!" Red said.

"We could have all died," Chuck added.

"Thanks for saving our lives, Mighty Eagle!" Silver thanked him.

Aggie secretly waited for someone to thank her too since she dragged the ice ball away from the team, but no one did, which made her sad. No one seemed to appreciate her anymore. She decided to hide her sadness for now.

Mighty Eagle tried to comfort them. "Well, you can always count on-"

CRASH!

But he was interrupted when he crashed into a cliff, sending all his riders falling through the sky. Everyone screamed in terror, except Red, who got a steely look of determination in his eyes, and Aggie, who can fly with her new wings popping out from her back and can fly. Red unfurled the map into the wind.

"Everyone, grab the map!" he instructed them.

The map was so large that once everyone, except Aggie, had a hold of it, it worked like a parachute, slowing their fall and saving their lives!

"Hey it's working!" Red exclaimed.

"Don't worry you guys, I'm right behind ya'll!" Aggie followed her friends.

The team was going between two mountains.

"Leaned to the left!" Red instructed as the others did, and they all glided between the mountains.

Red breathed a sigh of relief-until-

RIP!

"Bomb, please tell me that was sound of your pants ripping!" Chuck begged.

"I don't wear pants!" Bomb answered.

"None of us wear pants!" Red, Silver, Leonard, Courtney, and Aggie screamed.

In terror, they all watched as the small rip in the map became a huge rip! Their makeshift parachute failed, sending them all plummeting toward the ground. Aggie watched her friends falling fast.

"I'll save you guys!" She charged down to her falling friends.

Silver had to do something. Like all self-respecting Angry Birds, she had a special state of being that she could see all the calculations needed for their safe landing. Everything from trajectory, angle, and speed appeared right before her eyes! She used all of them to quickly formulate a plan. In an instant, Silver floated up to the big rip in the map and masterfully used her hair tie to cinch up the hole.

FWOOP! The parachute was reborn! It softened their fall just enough that they slammed into the ground but didn't die.

Aggie came down late as she saw her friends landed safely, but she has to check if they're alright as she landed on her feet.

Silver landed on top of Red, which was very awkward.

Their eyes met, and they both felt something they hadn't felt before. Except that Red felt this way before, but he hadn't since... since with Aggie.

"Hey! What is this?" Chuck interrupted.

Aggie heard Chuck, and turned to see what he's talking to and about. There it was. With her very own eyes, she saw Silver on top of Red, and noticed the way they look at each other. This is like how Red and Aggie used to do when they were still dating, or even before that. But now, Silver stole the spotlight from her. Aggie can feel her heart crack, but haven't break yet. She'll try to hold her anger and sadness in. She can't jump into conclusion of what this looked like. This could be an accident! Red and Silver could never fall for each other, could they?

Red and Silver instantly separated, acting like nothing had happened.

"Oh, well, I um- She was just thanking me for saving everyone," Red fibbed.

"I'm sorry, 'saving everyone'?" Silver objected.

"Yeah, you know the map was my idea."

"It ripped-"

"Yeah," Red said, getting very annoyed. "Well, maybe that's because there's one too many birds on the team!"

"I-"

Aggie grunted a bit angrily, possibly because she couldn't hold all of her anger, so she let a little out. While she did that, he body glitched once again with her black sharp feathers shown. After that, she felt a headache as she squeezed the sides of her forehead. "Ouch!"

"Aggie, are you okay?" Red noticed his ex-girlfriend groaned in pain and squeezed her forehead as he was concerned about her.

Aggie couldn't let anyone know that she felt something different as she tried to hide her mixing expression of anger, sadness, confusion, and pain. "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just... a little bump on the head when we fell down."

"But... you landed on your feet... safely," Silver reminded.

"WHY DO YOU CARE?!" Aggie shouted with her voice releasing a huge shockwave around them, causing everyone to feel being pushed a bit.

Red, Chuck and Bomb noticed the way Aggie shouted. She never shouted this loud and angry before, not even to an ally.

Aggie realized what she had said as she apologized, "I mean, sorry. I was just stressed... of using my magic to push that ice ball away from us. Yeah! Because it's big and heavy! There, that's why!" Aggie turned around again, and placed a hand on her forehead, feeling a little pain in the head, and her body slightly glitched

But Aggie's clench of pain was interrupted by a very sad Mighty Eagle. "Ooooooohhhh, my mountain!" he mourned.

The Eagle Mountain suddenly collapsed.

"We are in trouble!" Leonard said.

At the same time, Red, Aggie, and Silver called out, "We gotta stop that super weapon!"

"Jinx!" Silver added gleefully, causing Red to groan, and Aggie to roll her eyes.

The white sparrow turned away from her sight of Red and Silver. She couldn't bear to look at them as her eyes turned red again, and her body glitched... again. But this time, she glitched twice at a time. She can feel a headache at the time once again. "Ack! What is happening?" While turning away and squeezing her head, she then noticed the Red moon. That's impossible. Not only it came out before the 50th year, but also came out during the day. How could that be?

Red also noticed the Red Moon when he groaned. He saw the Red Moon at speed dating, and now he saw it today? What is really the meaning if this?

"Umm, Ags, what are you staring at?" Bomb looked at the direction where Aggie was staring, and he saw nothing.

"Red, do you see something there? Because I don't see anything?" Chuck the same thing, and he didn't see the Red Moon when Red saw that.

"Yeah, the mountain is over there," Silver pointed the destroyed Eagle Mountain at the other direction.

"Umm, are you sure none of you see that?" Red pointed at the direction of the Red Moon.

"I didn't see it," Silver said.

Even Leonard and Courtney looked at the same direction, but neither of them saw something what Red and/or Aggie saw.

"I think they're crazy," Courtney whispered to Leonard.
