It was a calm day in Chima. The Chi Falls have returned, and no one had anything to worry about. Laval decided to join Eris in testing out a new Eagle Jet. "Are you sure this jet is safe?" asked Laval. "Sure. What's the worst that could happen?" replied Eris. She tied the rope. Laval took his place on top of the jet, holding onto the rope. After they have been in the air for some while, Eris decided to try out some new tricks. The jet did a roll. "That was fun!" said Eris. "Are you alright up there Laval?" During that roll, the rope Eris tied earlier came loose, and Laval was torn from the jet. He watched in horror as the jet faded from the sky and he hit the ground.
"Laval?" asked Eris timidly. "Laval, are you there? Laval!" She grabbed the controls of the jet and landed it on a field. "Laval? Laval, where are you?" called Eris. She looked at the outside of the plane, and came to the conclusion that the rope came loose. "I must find him." thought Eris. Laval, meanwhile, lay on the ground, motionless, about a few meters from the clearing. Eris found him nearly an hour later. "Laval? Laval, are you okay?" Laval awoke. "I think I'm fine..." He tried to stand up, but the effort exhausted him, and he fell to the ground. Eris was in shock, and for a while, all she could do was stare at the downed lion. Then, she came to her senses, and retreated to the jet. Using the Eagle Radio, she contacted Ewald and told him her predicament. Laval didn't awake. Eris and Cragger both stood there for the entire day, but Laval didn't stir. Eris told Cragger what happened. "Why didn't you tie the rope properly?" sighed Cragger. "My best friend is now in danger thanks to you." Eris was on the verge of tears, she knew that this was bound to happen, but she could've prevented it.
