Meanwhile at Zeta's lair, Red and Silver are still struggling to break free from their traps, but they were still stuck.

Red sighed in guilt, "This is all my fault.

"Red, it's not your fault." Silver tried to cheer him up at this situation.

"No, it is my fault. I put myself before anyone else. I was afraid if I wasn't a hero anymore, they'll all stop... they'll stop liking me." Red admitted, finally telling what he was truly afraid of.

"Oh, Red, so you did all of this because you are afraid of not being like?" asked Silver.

"I..." Red hated to tell the truth, but he has to tell someone how he feels. "Yes."

"But, what about... Aggie?"

That name snapped Red from the guilt he was having, "What about her?"

"I mean, I don't think she's that kind of person to do such a thing." Silver said.

"How would you know?"

"Well, I wanna ask something. Who was the first bird that ever liked you? I mean, before you became a hero? Way back then? Before Chuck and Bomb started to like you?"

Red started to rewind his memories way back when he first came to anger management class. He already befriended Chuck, Bomb, and Aggie. But when the pigs arrives, Aggie seemed to be the only one who defended Red from the pigs and their tricks on him. "Well, Aggie." He answered. "She's the only one who looked out for me. When my house got destroyed, she's willing to fix the hole, let me stay in her old house, and kept defending me from the pigs. She was always there by my side, every step of the way."

Then, Silver told Red about his clarification towards Aggie's true colors, "And do you think she is that kind of person to not like you if you're not a hero anymore? Do you think she'll leave you alone again?"

Red began to realize this. For so long he ever knew Aggie, she's the kindest, cheerful, and positive person he ever met. Human or bird, it doesn't matter. And even before he became a hero, Aggie was always there, aided him at any circumstances. Even though they just broke up, she was still there helping him, and also called him her "best friend." Silver was right. Aggie was not that kind of person to do such a thing. Red couldn't believe he almost forgot the times he used to be with Aggie. It already made him... happy. But now, it was now replaced with guilt. "No," the red bird replied. "Aggie would never do that to me. We're best friends, and we're always there for each other, no matter what. But, why did she just abandon us?"

"I don't know." Silver confessed. For a genius, she didn't know why Aggie abandoned them. "That's the one thing I don't know."

Just then, Zeta made a loud speech for her fellow eagles. Red and Silver have to act fast and free themselves before Zeta could do something more awful. Then, Silver noticed an air cap at Red's inflatable recliner. She was able to reach her recliner's air cap by using her crest-braids to snag and rip open the air cap, deflating it. now that she's free, she's able to help Red out from his trap.

Outside the window of Zeta's lair, Aggie stayed hidden to avoid getting captured. Just a quick peek, she saw Silver helping Red out from the his inflatable recliner. This made Aggie glitch once again. But this time, Aggie was able to stop her glitching so Dark Aggie will not be able to take over. she shook her head to snap out from the effects of the glitch, and pointed her wand staff to Red, ready to cast a spell to help him free from his trap.

"Alright, stand back!"

There was a voice coming from outside of the door.

"Wait, did you hear that, too?" Silver heard that voice.

"Bomb?" Red guessed.

KABOOM!

A huge explosion knocked down Zeta's door. Through a cloud of debris, Chuck, Bomb, Leonard, Courtney, and Garry triumphantly appeared. They all coughed up the smoke.

"What in the- Really, guys?" Chuck chortled.

The force of Bomb's explosion had sent Red's recliner sailing, and he was freed from his trap. Though, at the end, Red and Silver's faces are close together, making it appear like they'd been kissing. They jumped away from each other awkwardly.

"What no!" Silver objected. "We weren't."

"Uh, yeah there were," Courtney snapped a picture of them in her phone.

Aggie saw and heard the whole thing. Her fear and prediction has finally came true. By the looks of Red and Silver having their faces close to each other made Aggie think that everything she tried to doubt is all true. Even Courtney thought the same. Aggie looked away from them, not wanting to see her ex boyfriend with Chuck's sister, but she can't get them off of her head. It's much too painful to get rid of the image of those two. When Aggie's tears formed in her eyes, she started glitching again with statics, like in a TV. She can feel her dark side was about to take over, but she can't get over the fact of Red being with Silver. She never felt this sad before. Her soul was crashing, her brain was hurting, and her heart was breaking. She can already feel her chest pain as she grasped her heart. She then slapped her head to stop the glitch. When Aggie started to cry, she finally flew away, not wanting to be around them anymore, not wanting them to see her sad, not wanting to deal with her hidden feelings anymore.

Back at the lair, Bomb noticed the television with the image of the two islands, and at the top of them was a countdown clock, which read 9:36. "Uh, guys, why is that clock counting backwards?"

Things were starting to feel very real. The timer was counting down, and every second was a second closer to the destruction of their homes.

"We've only got 10 minutes!" Chuck panicked.

"It's now or never!" Garry exclaimed.

"Pig kind and bird kind are depending on us!" Leonard added

"What are we gonna do?" Bomb asked.

"Well, I...," Red stammered. He didn't know what to do, but then he looked at Silver and knew exactly what they needed. "I think... in times like these, we need someone who can lead. We need a hero. You know who we need? We need Silver," he said confidently.

The others turned to Silver. Chuck gasped happily. Silver was taken aback by Red's change of heart.

"Got any ideas?" he asked.

"I got a few, actually," she replied.

Then, Bomb noticed that there's someone's missing in the team, "Wait, where's Aggie? I thought she was with you guys."

When he mentioned the name, Red shook his head down, not answering why Aggie wasn't around. silver volunteered to answer.

"Um..., Aggie..., she left."

"What do you mean 'she left'?" Leonard was confused.

"She... she flew away." Silver clarified.

"You mean, she abandoned the team? Aggie never did that before. That's impossible," Chuck refused to believe.

"Yeah. I know my cousin. How would we be so sure?" Bomb added.

"We saw her left, okay?!" Red cried. "I... I don't know why, but she just left!"

"Do you think we have to go and find her?" Courtney said.

"No, we don't have much time!" Garry yelled. "If we wait for her or find her, it'll be too late."

"Garry's right. We have to stop the superweapon without Aggie. If she comes around, let's hope she can help us." Red said in worry.

"But this isn't a team without Aggie," Chuckmprotested.

"I know this isn't a team without Aggie, but...what choice do we have?" Red only hoped that Aggie would return and help the team.

Then, the plan started.

From Zeta's balcony, Silver and the heist crew looked over the room with the superweapon. Ice balls filled with lava rolled past them.

"That's the heart of the superweapon," Silver explained. "And if you look closely, you can see that is powered by is air pressure. Moisture on the composite volcano instantly vaporizes, and highly pressure steamed to the surface. That steam is contained by the pressure chamber. And that's the part we need to destroy." Silver could see that the entire team was listening to her every word. "Only problem is: it's surrounded by armed guards." She pointed to the eagle guard patrols below them. "Bomb, do you think you could take out those guards? Some of them look kinda tough. It won't easy."

"Yeah, right, of course. Got it." Bomb nodded nervously.

"Great, Chuck," Silver looked at her brother. "I need you to disable the security cameras. There's a bunch of them, so you have to work fast."

"Fast?" Chuck zoomed out, and brought back a brief case with him. "Don't even worry about it, sis."

Then, Silver turned to Red, "Red, you and I have to get inside one of those ice balls."

"Inside an ice ball... sure, okay," Red agreed.

"Leonard, Courtney, Garry," Silver said, turning to the pigs "Do you see that giant lever near the orange lava tube?"

"Copy that," Leonard replied when he, Courtney, and Garry noticed the lever.

"I need you to pull it all the way down. That will create a ramp so that when Red and I roll down in the ice ball, we'll be launched through the air at the perfect trajectory to take out the superweapon! Got it?"

Everybody cheered at her plan.

"Mama would be so proud," Chuck cried with joy.

"And..." Silver then realized one of them is not here. "Oh right."

"What's wrong?" Red questioned.

"We're one bird short. We need Aggie! We can't do this without her!"

"Look, I know Aggie. I'm sure she could come around. We can't wait for her any longer. If we do, we're running out of time. But, everyone, I promise you, Aggie could come to rescue us just in time when we destroy that superweapon." Red suggested.

"Are you sure, Red?" Leonard wasn't so sure about what Red said about Aggie.

"I trust her, Leonard," Red turned to face him. "I know she and I broke up, but we're still friends, and we always look out for each other."

"Well, you might be right."

"Okay, everyone put your wings and hooves in," Silver said.

She, Red, Chuck, Bomb, Leonard, Courtney, and Garry put their wings and hooves together.

"And let's pray that Aggie will come and get us so..."

"GO TEAM!" The team raised their wings and hooves before starting to do their part.

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

Outside, Aggie flew back on the same log where she saw earlier. She returned with a weepy face. Aggie sat down on a log and let her tears shed on his face. There was no Dark Aggie nor evil ancestors to gloat her around. She was all alone now. She couldn't believe what she saw earlier. She wanted to forget that, but she couldn't. Her world turned upside down. Seeing Red and Silver together made Aggie's future crumbled or maybe their future new. Aggie always imagined her future to be with Red, but that was just a fantasy, junk, and may not be exist. This is what she feared the most after she broke up with Red, and Silver appeared in the Speed Dating program with her. This is what Chuck has been teasing to them all day. The same thing what Zeta called them. Aggie promised herself not to get affected by those teases and words since she believed actions are better than words, but words and actions combined together making herself affected, especially if Red and Silver did those things by accident. Aggie never believed they were accidents anymore. It... now... happened.

Chuck was right. Zeta was right. Dark Aggie was right. Even Courtney was right. About things they said and thought about Red and Silver.

She wanted to be happy for Red now that he finally found someone to be with, but why is she still sad? Aggie kept her cry soft so no one could hear her, but deep inside, she cried loudly. She was hurt, she was heartbroken, she was... so sad. this is like the exact opposite of what she was feeling everyday. She really missed everything what she and Red did for the past 10 years, but now, those things were now faded away into thin air. Aggie admitted to herself that even though she and Red broke up, she missed him so much, and she still loved him. She really regretted of breaking up with him all because of a stupid energy of the universe went terribly wrong, and it's her job to fix it. There's no way to get the bird she really loved back. Like everybody said, if you love someone, set them free.

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd

Need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie

Is made up on your side

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear

To always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you

While singing, Aggie could remember the day she met Red at Matilda's anger management class. She only saw Red as a new friend, and was very delight to meet him. She remembered how pity she was to him when his house was on the beach, away from the village. even though he was an angry bird, he cared too like when she well he was there to help her up. Before they fell for each other, Red and Aggie always defending each other from the pigs with their tricks and teases. those were good times.

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do

Reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you

I love the things that you do

Then, there was the Red Moon Ball. That was the unforgettable moment for Aggie. She couldn't believe the moon chose her to have her soul bond with a guy who danced with her, which it was revealed to be Red. and then they became partners at their job of entertaining hatchling's birthday parties. Then, there was Ruby. Aggie has no jealousy on Ruby, but she was angry when Red hang out with her more. This made her sad. That's her first cry in this world. It was sad though. But things changed when Ruby purposely broke up with Red so he and Aggie can be together. That's how their love story began.

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear

To always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you

10 years of dating, 10 years of being best friends and partners, 10 years of happy being together was to tally worth it. When Aggie inherited the family heirloom, her wand staff, it's her duty to use it wisely so the whole universe will not be destroyed. But when bad things happened, Aggie has to abandoned her duties as a dimension traveler, friendship teacher, and leader of the Imaginary Team, which concluded leaving her friends, including Red. That's how they broke up.

We were made for each other

Out here forever

I know we were

Yeah, yeah

And all I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I do, I give my heart and soul

I can hardly breathe; I need to feel you here with me

Yeah

Even though the energy of the universe was destroyed and everything's back to normal, Red and Aggie don't feel any romantic feelings for each other anymore. Everything's different now. When Red and Silver started to get close since the meeting, escaping Eagle mountains, and... earlier, it hurt Aggie a lot.

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missin' you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear

Will always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you

This is must be the punishment of the universe to Aggie for making a regretful decision. She shook down her head, and let herself cry.

So, this is must be the saddest chapter I've ever made. Even I cry when I wrote this while listening to this song. I hope you like this. Please tell me about what you think so far.

The song doesn't belong to me

While reading the last part of the chapter, please listen "When You're Gone" by Avril Lavigne
