Thank you guys for your support of this story, I tried to do the editing thing to make my gibberish more understandable. I'll run through the other chapters soon enough, too. PLEASE INSULT MY WORK, I THRIVE ON MISTAKES. Your pointing out errors only makes my stories that much better. So yeah.

Music is found in any way, shape or form in which the listener perceives it to be. The leaves rustling softly in the shady trees. Small creatures leaping from branch to branch creating squeaks and scrambles against the tree trunks. Brightly embroidered tropic birds caw loudly in harmony with frogs chirping in the marsh. This is the everyday symphony for Gilbert Beilschmidt, a famous biologist known for (A.N. being the most annoying man on the planet) discovering 5 different species of toads, 4 species of fish, 3 species of butterflies and 2 nearly extinct species of hummingbird. Despite the fame and reputation Gilbert gathered from making these discoveries, his last discovery proved to be his last. For the most recent journal entry made on his report stated his discovery of a dangerous, extremely rare creature in the arthropod family…

3 days earlier…
An angry thumping sound resounded throughout an empty corridor early in the morning. Brown satin boots beating down on the ceramic tiles. The door hissed open as a single man entered the dark room. As the lights flashed on, a lab filled with many different species of jungle birds, note boards and environmental testing equipment became apparent. Two feet halted at a specific table with only a single wired cage on a pedestal. The remaining space on the table was littered with crumbles bits of paper, used beakers and a random picture of a potato. Tch… That annoying buffoon. He can't even keep his area clean much less carry out the previous assignment I gave him! No, that bloody git always has to run off to play with his toys!
A hand raised to dig in unruly blonde hair. Forest green eyes framed by unusually large eyebrows scanned what little notes he could recover. The stained pages were actually blueprints for another wacky plaything of his. The man snorted. I bet on my life Doctor 'Awesome' will return within the hour, covered in grim and unknown liquid carrying the flaming scraps of his work…He proceeded to turn away and stalk back to his office to await the self-proclaimed 'Prussian's' arrival -
Gilbert darted through the rainforest with an uncontrollable smile on his face. A loud "KESESESESESESE~" echoed through the trees as he leapt over a small stream. That old fart! Doesn't he know no one can order around The King of Awesome? Now, I can finally test my new trap, even though my previous inventions spontaneously caught fire for some reason…
"ALRIGHT", Gilbert blurted out loudly. Please work… "This piece of crap better work." He skidded to a halt outside the mouth of a cavern. Crimson eyes traced the rim of the bird snatcher's cave and found the familiar orange substance from before except this time it was fresh. Gilbert furrowed his eyebrows and placed down his bundled with care. Walking into the darkness, he snapped out his flashlight and followed his usual route. There was absolute silence for the only noise was the splash of feet on a wet floor. He finally turned to an open cavity in the wall and went to work in hammering the mechanical stakes into the bedrock. This'll show that disgusting potato-shaped fat-butt who's REALLY IN CHARGE HERE!
Every day for the past week, Gilbert had secretly slipped out of the lab telling his co-workers he was 'testing new material', but a frequent issue for the team broke out just a month ago and Gilbert had to do something about it. Their 'team' consisted of Gilbert himself obviously, Arthur Kirkland, Kiku Honda, Alfred F. Jones, and Francis Bonnefoy. They were stationed in a remote sector of the Amazon Rainforest with the sole mission to save a near extinct species of bird that was disappearing for some bizarre reason. It was a small creature that was coated with puffy yellow feathers and was very smart, but the lab team eventually succeeded in catching one. Gilbert immediately took a liking to it (A.N. alsothere was an incident with some scissors, but I'll write a one-shot about that later ;] )and named it Gilbird.
Nothing eventful occurred the rest of the week. Unfortunately for the team, the reason that species of bird was nearly wiped off the face of the Earth (and also the reason why they were so intelligent, because they would need to adapt to survive…) was because a very deadly creature used them for its main food source. No one at the lab knew what the creature looked like. They tried setting up cameras, but this monster proved itself to be far too intelligent for them, graceful dodging most of the screens. If it did show up on video, the only thing that was visible was a shadowy blur and 8 putrid appendages. All they knew was that this creature attacked once a week every night and in the morning at least 10 of the birds went missing (along with splotches of blood left behind). For this reason, Gilbert took it upon himself to create some sort of defense mechanism in order to guard the lab from these attacks. With the little information he gathered from the video footage and evidence, the hefty bird smuggler could easily be placed in the arachnid family.
