《Green Ham and Eggs [Angry Birds fanfic]》Chapter 4. The Grand Exit
Advertisement
Red sat back beside his unfinished home. He already lost hope in his home and took a break from fixing it, just sketching random things into the sand.
"You a really good artist, maybe you could draw me something sometime?"
A voice asked from behind Red. He turned around and saw Leonard towering over him, still with that innocent smile. Red quickly erased his sketch and stood up in front of Leonard.
"I don't know what you're thinking in that little head of yours but you and i aren't friends, and i don't want anything to do with you, i know you are up to something".
Red said firmly, glaring into Leonards eyes which slowly began to change to a disappointed look.
"I just thought i could help you out, ya know."
"How? by fixing my house?!"
Red exclaimed, pointing at his still wrecked house.
"Oh that? That'll take way too long to rebuild."
Leonard looked over again seeing all the peices on the ground then the little circle made by Red.
"Well you've been here long, I'm sure you have the time."
"Well i have a spare room, up on my ship, you could just use that instead."
Leonard offered, gesturing over to his ship but Red just laughed pathetically.
"In your ship? Ha in your dreams i ain't stepping one foot in that ship."
Red denied as he crossed his arms, making an imprint in the sand as Leonard just smirked.
"You don't have to."
Leonard simply said, as Red looked back in confusion before suddenly Leonard inched closer and lifted Red off from the ground and rested over Leonards shoulder,
"Hey! Put me down right now!"
Red demanded, waving his legs around.
"You said you didn't want to step one foot into my ship so I'll have to carry you in."
"I meant i didn't want to be in your ship, I'm perfectly fine out here!"
"Too late, i don't want you freezing to death outside my ship."
Red sighed a deep breath as Leonard walked up his mechanic stairs and onto his ship where he passed a couple doors before stopping. He placed Red down and opened the door. Revealing a small but comfortable room with a bed and a small desk and chair. Red slowly walked inside, still skeptical whether to trust him or not. He placed his hand on the bed and felt the silky soft covers and bounciness of the bed. Red finally sat down and fell back onto the soft bed and almost instant fell asleep. Leonard smiled in satisfaction as he quietly closed the door, then softly locked it from the outside, walking off towards a smaller guy that had been patiently waiting behind him.
"Is everything here now?"
"Yes sire."
The same little guy responded, saluting Leonard.
"Good."
Leonard responded, walking back outside the ship, leaving Red inside to sleep comfortably. Chuck had felt guilty watching Red storm off after the argument between him and the judge and had decided to go check up Red to see if he was okay, but ran into some leaves as he watched Leonard calmly walk over to him.

Eventually watching Leonard take Red onto his boat and come back out few minutes after. Chuck hesitated whether he should tell the others or not as it seemed like Chuck and Bomb were the only ones that actually cared about him. Chuck rushed back to the group and closely stood beside Bomb glancing around as he rushed to think of what to say.
"Hey Chuck are you okay?"
Bomb asked, noticing Chucks erratic behaviour. Chuck tried to explain what he just saw but with all the stuttering and his speed of speech, Bomb couldn't really understand.
"Hold on, slow down buddy, breathe in."
Bomb said, resting his hands on Chucks shoulders as he took a deep breath in.
"Breathe out."
Bomb finished, motioning with one hand a breathing motion and Chuck followed, breathing out and finally calming down.
"Now what did you want to tell me?"
Bomb asked resting his hands on his hips. Chucks eyes then widened as he remembered what he had saw.
"I think Red got kidnapped!"
Chuck exclaimed as Bomb just looked at him shocked and confused.
"Kidnapped? But how and who kidnapped him?!"
Bomb queried starting to panic as well.
"I think Leonard did?"
Chuck whispered, his voice getting softer.
"Leonard? I know Red was a bit mean to him but i don't think Leonard would actually try and kidnap him."
Bomb suddenly had back a calm expression, blowing off Chucks allegations.
"No i saw it with my own eyes! Leonard took Red onto his boat!"
Chuck kept trying, he felt like he knew what he saw but now even he was questioning whether he saw something completely different.
"Leonard might of just wanted to be nice since his home was destroyed."
Chuck just sighed and just let it go, believing that Leonard was just trying to help. Chuck followed Bomb back to the group who were now decorating broken egg shells that were saved from last year.
Leonard also seemed to be sitting there now too, and even though Leonard was just harmlessly painting an egg shell to, smiling as he chatted with Matilda. He just couldn't shake the feeling that Leonard wasn't good news.
"Yeah so these are from last years hatch season. When all the cute little birds hatch, we collect their old homes and we basically recycle them to make something beautiful."
Matilda could be heard, happily informing Leonard, who was listening super intently, as though it was anything of interest to him. Chuck and Bomb sat near them with Bomb happily joining the conversation as Chuck sat there uncomfortably grabbing a lonely shell and thought of what to do with it.
"Oh Chuck where were you before? You were gone for quite a while?"
Matilda questioned, noticing Chucks quiet appearance. Chuck quickly froze trying to think of an excuse fast.
"Uum, uuuuh... i was just um taking a walk on the beach!"
Chuck loudly exclaimed, smiling awkwardly.
"Oh on this side of the beach?"-
"No! The um... other side, wanting a different view ya know."

Chuck quickly interrupted, fiddling with his fingers.
"Oh, well that sounds lovely Chuck."
Matilda eventually added, going back to painting her egg shell. Afterwards so did Bomb but as Chuck glanced over at Leonard, he wasn't. In fact, he was looking straight at Chuck. With the kind of look that knows. Chuck froze stiff, keeping the direct eye contact with Leonard before snapping out and facing towards his own peice of an egg shell and from the very edge of Chucks view, he could see Leonard also facing away from him and back at the egg.
"Welp i better get going, it's getting a bit late and my friend has been really tired lately, so I'll catch you all another time."
Leonard quickly started, neatly placing his egg shell aside as he stood up and dusted himself off. Matilda quickly just did a simple wave as Leonard suddenly left. Chuck out of curiosity glanced over at his egg and saw that he had painted something red with two dots on it. He wasn't exactly a good artist so it was hard to figure out what it was but Chuck was quick to assume that he was trying to paint Red possibly, making Chuck become more suspicious of him.
"Chuck why don't you and i head to the nearby happiness museum? Heard that they putting on a show there!"
Bomb asked ecstatic, wrapping an arm around Chuck.
"Uum i am alright... i have plans..."
Chuck tried to say, holding back the urge to agree.
"There'll be Hor d'oeuvre there."
Bomb added, immediately peaking Chucks interest.
"Change of plans, I'm coming then!"
It was his weakness, he couldn't fight his urges and ran to the museum with Bomb. As everyone was enjoying the rest of their evenings, Leonard met up with a familiar fellow out of sight of most birds.
"You ready Ross?"
Leonard asked, hiding in the shadows. Ross nodded hiss head as he adjusted a large unfamiliar device on his shoulders.
"Good, take as many as you possibly can and then come back, without anyone spotting you, in 30 minutes we shall leave."
"Yes sire."
The smaller guy agreed, walking ahead of Leonard, jumping through bushes and onto trees where small nests laid with smaller eggs comfortably rested inside. Ross grabbed the device and aimed it towards the eggs, making a sucking noise as the eggs were lifted into the tube and into another compartment. Then swiftly climbed off the tree and continued to the next. Leonard calmly walked through the village, looking around to ensure no one saw him stealing the eggs. No one was in sight and Leonard smiled with satisfaction that his plan was working. Until he could a familiar cheery voice, come from around the corner.
"I'll catch up with you there."
Then suddenly a light yellow jersey popped into view, Leonard quickly recognised who they were and jumped behind a tree.
"Hello?"
Chuck asked as he rounded the corner of a building and face a pair of trees that darkened the surrounding area. Chucks gut kept telling him to turn around and leave but another part of him was telling him to go forward.
Chuck stepped closer and watched intently into the woods, feeling like he was staring right at a pair of eyes. Chuck didn't even realised he was stepping closer until he heard a strange noise coming from the side of him. Chuck jolted his head to the side and heard it come from one of the trees.
He could swear he could see something moving up there but before he could get closer there, something grabbed onto his wrist, and pulled him back, twisting his hand behind his back and placing a hand over his mouth, unable to scream. Chuck tried to look at the person stopping him from screaming but their grip held him in place.
"If you make one little peep about this, I'll make sure you can't run as fast as you can."
The person threatened and with only their voice, Chuck recognised that it was Leonard. Chuck tried to break free but Leonard was much stronger than he was.
"You don't say a word and i will let you go, do we have a deal?"
Leonard bargained, leaning closer towards Chucks ear. Chuck didn't really think through his answer and just nodded his head as much as he could. Leonard finally released him, pushing him away as Chuck stood back up, looking back at the still calm Leonard.
"Run. Run as fast as you can away from here."
Leonard whispered, glaring right at Chuck as he ran off as fast as he could like Leonard instructed, only this time he didn't run far but instead to Bomb who was nearby at the museum. Leonard stood still for a moment until the smaller boy dropped down now with a few extra little eggs.
"He won't stay quiet for long, be fast."
Leonard ordered, quickly disappearing out of a sight as he rushed even faster around the tree tops. Bomb looked up and casually smiled at the exhausted an terrified Chuck, not aware of the situation.
"Oh! hey Chuck, you ready for the museum now?"
"Leonard IS bad news!"
Chuck quickly shouted, jumping back and forth, wanting to speed off and do something. Bombs sweet smile disappeared, believing Chuck was being paranoid again.
"Chuck, you need to calm down"-
"No! He is! He randomly was behind a tree, probably spying on me! And then he grabbed me and told me not to tell anyone! Doesn't that sound suspicious?!"
Chuck exploded, infuriated with Bombs lack of trust. Bombs eyes widened as he tried to think of a perfectly reasonable explanation for that.
"Yeah that doesn't sound good at all..."
"Which means Red needs us!"
Chuck shouted, about to just speed off. Bomb finally put on a serious face, nodding.
"Lets go rescue him."
Bomb added as Chuck ran off with Bomb behind.

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character. The cover image photo is credited to Angel David *For now it's one chapter a day

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
