CHAPTER 1

MYSTERY OF THE BABYLON CONTROL BOX

That morning on the Babylon Airship, the green hawk, Jet was in his office with his head down on his desk sleeping until a childish whine woke him up.

"Give it to me!" A girl shouted outside his door. "I mean it, Storm! Give my laptop back!"

Jet was annoyed by her whining, "What now?"

Then a purple swallow and grey albatross bursted into the room.

The swallow was hitting the albatross in his arm with all the strength she had, "Give it back you stutter machine!"

"I don't st-stutter!" The albatross shouted.

"See? You just stuttered!"

"I did not stu-stutter!"

The hawk was getting a headache from hearing their shouting, "Hey knock it off!" He shouted.

The two then stopped arguing and focused on their leader.

"What's going on here?" Jet asked not surprised to see them fighting.

The swallow pointed to the albatross, "Storm took my laptop and won't give it back. Tell him to give it to me."

Storm held the laptop close to him, "No way, Wave. I gotta check something out."

Wave placed her hands on her hips, "Like what? Gotta look up fatty foods that you can't afford?"

"I'm not f-fa-fa-fat!"

Jet was once again annoyed, "Shut up!"

Wave and Storm were finally silenced.

Jet looked over to Storm and crossed his arms, "Storm, give it back to her. You know that doesn't belong to you."

Storm sighed and handed the laptop back to Wave.

Once the laptop touched her hands, she snatched it out of his hands, "Keep off my stuff!"

Jet put his feet on his desk, "You two really need to grow up."

Wave didn't really pay attention to him at the time. She was too busy looking something up on the internet.

"You don't act too grown yourself, boss", Storm said.

"I do so! If I didn't I wouldn't be your leader."

"Hey guys, check this out!" Wave shouted.

Jet and Storm ran over to her.

"What did you find?" Jet asked.

"Since it's been pretty dull around here I checked out the museum in Future City and I found a valuable artifact. It's called the Babylon Control Box."

"Our ancestors?" Storm thought.

"What does it do?" Jet asked excitedly.

Wave shook her head, "Don't know."

Jet smirked, "Then maybe we should find out."
