As she flew far away from the lair, Aggie found a log under a tree, and landed beside it. She sat down in depression of what she had done. She felt guilty for leaving Red and Silver getting captured, but if she did, they will end up in danger if Dark Aggie takes over in any way. Aggie had never abandoned her friends before. It just happened for the first time in her life. How could she? She couldn't even control her own emotions because some girl has develop a close relationship with the ex. Aggie was so ashamed. She shook her head down, and tears fell from her eyes and face. The tears also made holes on the snow since her tears was quite hot due to body temperature.

While Aggie cried in shame, Dark Aggie appeared behind her as part of her hallucination.

"So, that was very dramatic. Whoo! Just like in the movies!"

"Go away," Aggie said in a gloomy voice.

"Oh, you can't shoo me away, because I'm you. Remember?" Dark Aggie reminded.

Aggie then sobbed and wiped her tears with her feathers of her arm, "What do you want?"

"Nothing. Just waiting for my take over," Dark Aggie swung herself around like a little child.

"What do you mean? You already took over. Remember back there?"

"Do you think I did all of that? Especially kicking Red to the other side?! Oh man that was rich!"

"You know I never had the guts to do such a thing!"

"Oh please. Believe me, I haven't taken over yet. That was just still in-progress. Also when you sent Red to that outlet, and yelled at Silver. Those were good for almost getting me out. I thought you're going to do something else, but you just bailed out your 'friends' to 'keep them safe'. Yeah, nice plan."

Aggie didn't want to listen to her dark side, but she was right. Then it wasn't her who hurt Red when she kicked him, it was Aggie herself. "You mean, it was just me all along? You mean, I hurt Red... on purpose?"

"I don't know. You tell me. Oh wait, we're us. So that's a yes!" Dark Aggie chuckled evilly.

"I... I didn't mean to do that. I was just helping him get to the other side, but..." Aggie looked down her hands, very guilty that she has the guts to hurt Red that way, despite that she was trying to help him.

"But you hurt him. In fact, you almost killed him! Ha, ha! See the way you kicked him and he crashed into the other side? I can almost hear his bones crushed. Hey, that's what Chuck was telling him. I was right. That speed demon was such a blabber mouth. People today did the opposite thing of what the others were trying to warn them. He's really gonna crush every Red's bone in his body if he and Silver are going to tie a knot. But instead, you're going to crush his bones if that happened. I wish you could do that again, but try to hit him hard with the hammer. That'll do!"

"NO!" Aggie shouted as another huge shockwave flowed quickly around them. "I'm not going to hurt Red again! Never again! Not even Silver, not even Chuck, not even anybody! I have no right to hurt anyone who has no idea what I'm dealing with!"

"You see how they are to you? They're too busy trying to 'save the world' that they've been ignoring you all day! They never care for you, Aggie. 10 years of sacrificing, 10 years of dating, 10 years of befriending those birds were all worthless! Sure they appreciated all your love and hardwork, but when time flies, people may forget all that stuff, and want to do something new, like 'appreciate someone new.' i'm sure Red would do the same. He dated you, he got bored of you, he would find someone new, just for a change," Dark Aggie teased.

Her dark side's words made Aggie very angry as she tackled her to a tree near them, strangled her neck, "That's not true! I know Red still loves me and needs me. He and Silver are just friends. I swear of it!"

"Ha! Like I said, don't swear! And some others don't see them as just friends."

"I don't believe you. Chuck doesn't like that idea. And who wouldn't see them as just friends?"

"Don't ask me. Let's just watch what those two were doing when they got captured." Dark Aggie grabbed her wand staff and casted a little spell.

A small flying drone came out of the penguin, the wand staff's head, and flew to the volcano to locate where Red and Silver were captured. While waiting, the wand staff unleashed a holographic TV screen, showing a live video of what the drone was capturing on its camera. "Come on, Aggie. I know you couldn't resist a good show."

"No. I won't watch that stupid show!" Aggie scooted away from Dark Aggie.

"You have to, or you'll miss the fun!" Dark Aggie forced her normal side to look at the screen as she nuzzled it on Aggie's face.

Aggie tried to resist the temptation of watching the video that Dark Aggie set up, but if she kept doing this, she'll never stop. Aggie couldn't hold the grudge of Dark Aggie's tempts that long as she took the wand staff from her. "Oh just give me that!" She said to her dark side, and looked at the screen.

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

The little drone flew all the way inside the volcano, trying to stay hidden from the guards. Deep in Zeta's lair, Red finally woke up. Groggy and disoriented, Red looked at his wing, which felt oddly stiff. It was frozen to something... a cup holder?! He looked around now, seeing that all his limbs were frozen inside the cup holders of a pool raft. Red struggled, trying to free himself, but it was no use. He couldn't how he was captured, but the last thing he remembered he was knockout unconcious was Aggie suddenly abandoning the team. He didn't know why she does something like that, but now is not the time to think about her. Now that he was trapped in Zeta's frozen swimming pool-and Silver was trapped with him.

"Hey, you done?" she called.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Oh, let's see." Silver quipped. "Well, we got captured, trapped in ice on top of giant pool toys, and your ex-girlfriend abandoned us. Good job."

"Look, we don't need Aggie on this. I just thought that maybe I could-"

"Stop me?" an evil voice interrupted. Zeta had been watching them the whole time at her personal tiki bar. "You two lovebirds just thought y'all could sail over here and stop me." Zeta scoffed as she approached Silver and Red.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You got it all wrong," Red insisted.

"Lovebirds?" Silver added. "Ha! No way! We're likely friend birds. Besides, he already got a girlfriend, and dated for 10 years."

"Ahem! She and I broke up, remember?!" He reminded.

Zeta broke in. "So typical. Type A male paired with a strong female. And you just can't stand it, can you?!" Zeta squawked as she hovered over Red. "Lemme guess, you prefer to 'fly solo.' 'I have to save everybody all by myself, just like a man!'" she mocked him.

"Oooh, ouch! That's kinda true, though," Silver agreed.

"Sometimes, Aggie said that, too," Red chuckled.

"Saving everybody all by herself?"

"No. Being a man."

Silver was a little surprised that, according to Red, Aggie has a manly side. That explains she's very tough.

"Maybe she was a little clingy at times!" Zeta chocked the floaty so hard it popped. "Maybe she gave you that engagement ring a little bit too early?!"

"I don't think she's talking about us," Silver told Red. "Maybe she's talking about-"

Zeta curled her talons over Silver's mouth to keep her from speaking. "Debbie! Turn on the TV!" she called her assistant.

"Yes." Debbie riffled through a pile of remote controls on an ice-block side table. "Okay...," she said, unsure as she started to randomly search for the right remote.

"The one with the red button on top." said Zeta.

Although all of the remotes have red buttons. "Okay..." Debbie kept on looking.

"Red, Debbie," Zeta snatched the right remote from the table. "What I'm planning to do is...," She clicked a button on a remote that changed the TV screen to an image of Piggy and Bird Islands. "Take these little bitty undevelope islands, and turn them into..." The islands' images turned into some kind of water park blueprints in each island. "My own personal paradise."

Outside, Aggie gasped in horror while watching Zeta's scheme through the screen, "She can't do that!"

But Dark Aggie has an impressive smile on her face. "I don't know. I think that's a brilliant plan."

Back in the lair, Silver also gasped in horror.

"You're insane!" Red struggled to break free.

"I am putting myself FIRST! Because you know what? I worked hard for it. And I deserve it. All I gotta do is clear out its inhabitants." Zeta clicked another button on the remote, revealing of targetting Bird Island.

"You're a monster!" Red yelled, trying to shake free from his trap.

Then Zeta called off to her chief engineer, "Glenn, show them what I'm talking about."

Down below to the superweapon, Glenn placed a ginat button that operated the superweapon to the floor, and quietly muttered, "Como quieras, vieja loca."

"Excuse me?" Zeta bellowed. "Are you getting smart with me right now?"

Glenn straightened up and stomped the button with his talon. The superweapon launched a giant lava ice ball out of the crater of the volcano to the air.

While watching the launch sequence, Aggie and Dark Aggie could see the ice ball flying in the air.

"NNOOO!" Aggie screamed as she grabbed her wand staff, sending the holographic TV screen back into the staff, and returned back to its normal form.

"What are you doing?!" Dark Aggie growled.

Aggie raised her wand staff, and targetted the ice ball to cast a spell on it to destroy it before it can hit Bird Island. It may be a mistake to abandon the team because of her emotion and secret evil side, but it's not too late to fix this: to save Bird Island.

"ULTIMATE PENG-!"

Before she could perform the spell, Dark Aggie tackled Aggie down to stop her from destroying the ice ball, and Aggie accidentally dropped her wand staff.

"Let me go! What are you doing?!" Aggie fought to break free from Dark Aggie's grasp, but her dark side slowly pinned her down hardly.

Aggie made a quick glamce at her wand staff, which it was just few steps away. With her spare hand, she used the force to retrieve her wand staff, and struck her across the face with it. When she was free from her dark side's grasp, Aggie pointed her wand staff to Dark Aggie, and readied to cast a spell on her.

"Oh, you can't hit me with that, because you're too late!" Dark Aggie pointed behind her.

Aggie turned around and realized the lava ice ball was out of sight. It was probably already hit Bird Island by now.

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

Above between two islands, the hatchlings, Zoe, Sam-Sam, and Vivi rode on a hot air balloon with the piglets, Sophie, Isla, and Oliver.

I can't believe we're soarin' through the...

Sky! Sky!

All thanks to ou, they are pig pals...

Suddenly, a giant ice ball nearly hit their balloon, causing them to twirl around.

"What the heck was that?" Oliver asked.

Then, the six youngs saw Piggy Island was being hit by lave ice balls. The whole kingdom ran for their lives, evacuated their homes, and tried to avoid the giant ice balls. The hatchlings and piglets then turned to see Bird Island was also being hit.

"My Mommy and Daddy!" Zoe cried, thinking about her parents.

At Bird Island, in their home, Terrence noticed the ggs aren't in their crib as he looked around to find them. Their house was half destroyed when an ice ball struck their home, making an opening for Matilda to notice him.

"Terrence, where are the kids?" She asked, which Terrence shrugged and didn't know where Zoe and the eggs are. "WHERE ARE THE KIDS?!" Matilda yelled angrily.

The whole Bird Village cowered and ran in fear as the lave ice balls destroyed their houses and everything on their path.

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

At Eagle Island, Zeta and the eagles cheered that their plan was a success.

At the top of the screen was a countdown clock, which read 9:45. "And when this countdown reaches zero, boom! Your islands are going down!"

"Those islands are filled with innocent birds and pigs!" Red couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe someone-a bird, no less-could be so coldhearted. Even if she did live on an island that was basically one giant refridgerator.

"You all had a chance to evacuate, but for some reason, you didn't!" Zeta reminded.

This made Red realized something back in Bird Island.

*Flashback*

"So, are you a hundred percent sure we shouldn't evacuate?" Matilda asked.

"Yes! Everybody, please, just stay calm!" Red assured.

*End of Flashback*

He realized he should've let the birds evacuate when they had the chance. Red was too caught for being "the hero" that he was sure he can save the day, but, instead, he was goingto face the consequence of putting his fellow birds in danger.

"Maybe we should talk this over." He suggested.

"I don't think it would work, Red," Silver intervened. "Even if you try, she won't listen to you. This is Aggie's job, remember?"

"Well Aggie's not here anymore!" Red shouted, feeling a little heartbroken when he remembered his ex suddenly abandoned the team. "I knew we shouldn't trust her in this situation. She's too insecure for this mission that we didn't know what's wrong with her."

"Okay. I don't know who this Aggie is, but I think she's a coward, and she's not my problem anymore," Zeta trilled as she strolled over to her balcony. "Sorry. Not sorry." She laughed. "I'm truly not sorry!" With that she flew over the balcony's edge. Debbie tried to follow her, but instead fell over the ledge, letting out a scream.

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

Back outside, Aggie is still watching the live footage of the Bird and Piggy Islands get destroyed, and Zeta and Debbie left Red and Silver trapped on their traps. She felt so very guilty that she couldn't do anything right. First, she tried to help Red save the day, but he ended up captured because of her being busy trying to hold her true emotions in and control her dark side. Second, she tried to stop the lava ice ball from hitting two islands, but she fought her dark side, or at least herself, before she could save the islands. And finally, she wasn't there to save her friends because she was so sensitive to protect her friends from herself and just ran away instead of telling them. They were too busy saving their islands and most of them are happy to have each other, which they never noticed what's wrong with her. All Aggie wanted was to make her friends happy and didn't want them to be worried for something else other than their home islands. She was so unselfish enough to make such sacrifice just for her friends.

"Well, that went well," Dark Aggie chuckled. "Great show, huh? Come on. Let's get out of here and find something to drink." She got up, and marched on the snow.

But then, Aggie had had enough. "No."

Dark Aggie halted herself for few seconds before slowly turning around to Aggie. "What did you say?"

"I said no." repeated Aggie. "I will not leave my friends like this."

"Are you even listening?!" Dark Aggie grunted angrily, getting sick of Aggie's kindness and big heart. "You saw all of it! You saw them how they are without you. Red doesn't need you anymore, Silver did some your things, and you can't save everyone because of your stupid weak emotions. Zeta even called those two 'Lovebirds'! Did that affect you?"

"What? No! Besides, they're not! They admitted it! And Zeta never knew of my past relationship with Red!" Aggie protested. "I know Red didn't mean to say that he didn't need me anymore, but I know he needed me. You know why? Because we needed each other, just like we use to."

"You're really not listening earleir, huh! That was in the past, Aggie! Things have changed ever since you stopped Precious from stealing the energy of the universe, and almost died! All your sacrifices for your friends is not enough! All I know is those birds were just using you to survive because you're the only one who has magic. And since they now have Silver, the smartest and greatest engineer, they won't need you anymore!"

"No! I don't believe you! Don't say that! We're all friends! We need each other, we love each other! Red, Chuck, and Bomb would never do that to me! And i will neither hurt them nor let you hurt them. I will stay positive so you'll never take over. I will never tell them about you. I will always be happy for them, no matter what!"

"Your so-called 'happiness' won't last long. When you explode and I take over, you will be like our evil ancestors. You know, like Deirdre, Tristan, Tristana, Ubel, Brennan, Emily, Zilla, Valdis, Cessair, and most of all, Desdemona!"

Aggie's eyes widened when her dark side mentioned her evil ancestors. These ancestors used their magic for great evil, such as murder, destroying, and torture. They even died before they got a chance to reform, but didn't, bringing their evilness with them to their deaths. "No! I will not turn evil. I will never turn evil like them, not even Desdemona!"

"Are you sure about that?" An unfamiliar voice was heard.

Aggie never heard of that voice before. It was not from Dark Aggie. This voice is different. It's like echoing. Then, she noticed puddle on the snow. Ot wasn't frozen. That's impossible. Water is suppose to be frozen at this temperature. The puddled then showed the face of her closest evil ancestor, Desdemona Mondejar. Aggie gasped in fear and horror.

"I can see that on your face, Agatha. The evilness passed down to you now. It runs through your veins. Accept your destiny! There is no other choice!" She cackled.

Aggie refused to accept that she has the blood of evilness, "No! You're wrong, Desdemona."

"We're family, Agatha! We're the same! Ha, ha, ha!"

"We're not the same! I may have an evil side, but I will never be like you! I will never murder anyone, I will never act like you!" With one swift of her hand, Aggie whacked the puddle until Desdemona's soul disappeared. At the same time, Dark Aggie also disappeared from her side. Aggie made sure that she will never turn evil like Desdemona and other evil ancestors, but she realized she's been acting differently towards her friends, especially Silver. So far, Aggie was only proving herself to be as useful as everyone else, but this is not who she was anymore. "Except..." she continued, "i guess I kinda have been acting mean today. I gotta go apologize. But I have to save them first. Whatever it takes"

This time, this is gonna be different. She has to fix her mistake for abandoning her team. She has to rescue her friends, and tell them the truth so they could save their islands together. Aggie grapsed her wand staff tightly, popped out her wings, and flew back to the volcano.
