Chapter 9 ~ Red's Feelings
As for Silver, she was trying to find others through the vents as she opened every door until she finally noticed the familiar giant crazy blue eagle costume as it struggled to move properly but managed to get to the door holding the card. They were about to slide the card on the password code when she called them.
"Hey, guys!"
Everyone in the costume shrieked and turned to see Silver behind them.
"Silver?! What are you doing here?! I thought you're with Red and Y/N!" Chuck said unzipping the costume for him to see her.
"I'm here to warn you that Y/N and Red are in trouble. They have been taken away by the guards."
"Y/N?! Trouble?! Get inside with us! We're gonna save her!" Leonard ordered her as she happily went in next to Chuck.
"Don't forget, Red!" Bomb added.
"Right, right. Whatever." he rolled his eyes.
The team then slid the card on the password code making the door open to reveal the super weapon.
"Oh my goodness gravy!"
"I wanna see!" Chuck said climbing over the team and stood next to Leonard for him to see what's up there.
"No, no! Just hold on!" Bomb exclaimed.
"I just wanna see!"
"Chuck, stop!" Silver exclaimed.
Harvey started to dance as he did some cool move and stopped to hear someone clear their throat and turned to see the eagle guard, Axel looking at him with a glare holding the icy spear.
"Uh oh.." Leonard muttered.
He clenched his fist cracking it, placing the spear down. They were expecting him to fight when he started dancing while doing the spin and leaned against the icy floor giving him a smile while pointing at him.
"What's happening?"
"I think he challenges us to do a break dance battle?" Leonard replied.
Harvey then started to dance again with different as he went between his legs and held them popping Courtney out of his butt. She gasped in fear and quickly went back in closing the hole.
"Oh, it's on!" Axel declared turning his hat backward as the rest of the eagles dance along with him even from the ledge.
"What's happening?" Chuck asked.
"It looks like they're popping in locket." Leonard said nodding his head in the beat.
"A what?"
Chuck opened the zipper a little and saw all the eagles dancing as he looked around and spotted Red and Y/N being held by the neck or whole body.
"They got Red and Y/N!"
"Oh no.." Silver gasped to see you in pain and Red struggling to get out.
Leonard quickly looked up and gasped to see you being held by the neck by Alvah as he choked you to death a little while you struggled to move and breath.
"We gotta go!" he told them as Chuck agreed.
"But the super weapon!" Garry said.
"Y/N is out there! She needs help! And I.. I mean we are gotta save her! Chuck, pedal!"
"On it!" Chuck started to spin the pedal faster.
But Harvey was only jumping and it cause the costume to tear apart leaving the feet with the pigs and the birds exposed. They froze in fear as the eagles didn't notice them as they kept on dancing. They slowly backed away and slid the card on the password code letting the door opened by itself as they kept on backing away without a single word but a speechless look as the door closes.

"Get your hands off of Y/N, you crazy eagle!" Red shouted as the guard froze his legs and hands placing him on the floater attaching to the cup holder in it much to his confusion.
"I think not." Alvah smirked and froze her legs and hands placing her on the same floater next to Red.
They are trapped in Zeta's frozen swimming pool.
"Y/N! Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah. I'm fine.. My neck hurts though.."
Red glared at Alvah as he leaned against the wall with a smug look on his face still after the guard left leaving him and Debbie alone with Y/N and Red. Red tried to pull his hands and legs out but it was no use and he kept on trying again and again much to your amusement. Until he was tired.
"You done?"
"Yeah... Sooo we got captured and trapped in ice on top of giant pool toys, huh?" he nervously chuckled.
"Yeah, you did. Good job getting us caught." you sarcastically congratulated him.
"I'm sorry, Y/N. I just though that I could-"
"Stop me?" the female voice interrupted.
The lights turned on to reveal Zeta leaning against the ice counter at her bar.
"Yeah, you two lovebirds just thought y'all could sail over here and stop me." she scoffed as she approached Y/N and Red.
Red and Y/N blushed at the word lovebirds as they are giving each other the shy smile.
"Yeah, we are. We're dating after all."
"So typical. Type A male bird paired with a strong female and you just can't stand it can ya?"
"Well, that's not true-" Red declined.
"Let me guess, you prefer to fly solo. 'I have to save everybody all by myself!' Just like a man!" Zeta hovered over Red.
"Ouch. That is kinda true though. He was thinking about himself when I told him it's not all about him." Y/N agreed making Red turn embarrassed.
"Well, you also have the tough and dangerous side."
"Touche."
"Maybe she was clingy sometimes! Maybe she gave you the engagement ring a little bit too early!" Zeta paced around.
"Wait, I don't think she's talking about us. Maybe she's talking about my dad."
Now that made Zeta look at her.
"Excuse me. Did you just say dad? You're telling me that man raised you and you're his adoptive daughter?"
"Yes.."
"What do you even see in him as your dad?"
"He's...I'd rather not talk about him. We had a fight.."
"I see. You and I have something in common. We both got hurt by him."
"Kinda.."
"Debbie! Turn on the TV!" she called her assistant.
"Okay.." she said unsure which remote controls are.
Alvah scoffed and walked over grabbing the right remote from the table and turned it on. The TV screen showed an image of Piggy and Bird Islands.
"Thank you, Alvah. What I'm planning to do is take these little bitty undevelope islands, and turned them into.."
The islands' image changed to water park blueprints in each island.
"My own paradise."
"You can't do that!" you gasped in horror.
"You're insane!" Red growled struggled to get free.
"I am putting myself first! Because you know what? I worked hard on it and I deserve it. All I gotta do is clear out its inhabitants."
Alvah clicked another button on the remote to reveal the target on Bird Island. He smirked liking this plan of hers. But they didn't know is he secretly went into the lab to move the screen to aim at the birds and not the village or the island. He tricked them into hurting the birds and make one of them die much to his pleasure.
"You're a monster!" Red yelled.
"Glenn! Show them what I'm talking about." she called out to her chief engineer.
Down below next to the super weapon, Glenn placed the button on the floor and quietly muttered how ridiculous Zeta's plan is and doesn't want to hurt the bird and pig citizens.
"Excuse me? Are you getting smart with me right now?" she bellowed.
Glenn quickly stomped the button with his talon. The super weapon launched the giant lava ice ball that they have been upgrading out of the volcano into the air as it hit Piggy Island and Bird Island. But what they don't know or notice that it was hitting straight into the citizens. Luckily, they quickly dodged it before they get themselves killed while protecting their loved ones. The hatchlings and piglets were in the piggy hot air balloon in the sky when they saw the whole island being destroyed. Zoe cried thinking about her parents. Terence was in the house trying to search for the eggs that are missing from the crib. Their house was half destroyed as it nearly hit Matilda enough for her notice.
"Terence? Where are the kids?" she worriedly asked.
Terence shook his head and shrugged not knowing where Zoe and the eggs are.
"WHERE ARE THE KIDS?!" she yelled angrily.
Everyone cowered in fear as they dodged all the lava ice balls that are aiming towards them as it hit some houses and restaurants.
At Eagle Island, all the eagles and Zeta and Debbie and Alvah cheered that their plan had worked in a success. Alvah was happy that everyone is running away while some nearly got hit but some were damaged from the burning lava. At the top of the screen, there was a countdown reading 9:45.
"And when this countdown reaches zero, boom! Your islands are going down!"
"Those islands are filled with innocent birds and pigs!"
"You all a chance to evacuate, but for some REASON, you didn't!" Zeta reminded Red.
That's when Red realized what he had done back in Bird Island.
*FLASHBACK*
"So are you 100% sure we shouldn't evacuate?" Matilda worriedly asked.
"Yes. Everybody, please just stay calm."
*END OF FLASHBACK*
He realized that he should've let the birds evacuate when they had a chance and made a terrible mistake. He was too caught up of trying to be a hero and to be loved again without thinking about everyone but himself.
"Zeta, please! We can talk things out!" Y/N pleaded her.
"Nope. Sorry. Not sorry. I'm truly not sorry!" Zeta laughed and flew over the balcony's edge along with Alvah knowing he will come back to kill Y/N later.
Debbie tried to follow them, but ended up falling letting out a scream. Y/N and Red struggled to break free from this floater, but it was no use and they're stuck.
"This is all my fault.." Red sighed in guilt.
"No, Red. It's not your fault." Y/N tried to cheer him up not wanting him to see that ugly sad look on his face.
"It is my fault. The truth is I was afraid if I wasn't a hero anymore, they'll stop...liking me. I put myself before anyone else."
"Red...I told you. Hero or not I'm sure they all still love you as much as I do. "
"I know..And I love you for that."
"Same. I even told you to stop thinking about yourself and just start thinking about us."
Red wished he could reach her right now but his hand are frozen, but he did made the floater come closer to you as you two gazed at each other lovingly. Just then, they heard Zeta making a loud speech of how tired they are for eating some ice cream or anything that's cold and ice and wished for a warm island they want to live in. The couples knew they have to act fast to free themselves before Zeta make things worst.
