Enjoy this kinda long intro chapter. Ehehehe...
"Passengers, this is your captain speaking. We've now landed in Oak City Airport, have a nice day and thank you for choosing Eagle Air." A voice over the intercom scratched. Passengers quickly began to file off the aircraft as the two pilots in the cockpit removed their headphones.
"I think that was the smoothest landing yet, Viary." The man on the left grinned to his co-pilot. He was 25 years old and had short, straight red hair with three bright orange bird feathers jutting from the top of his head, along with a bird tail composed of orange feathers.
"Nah, I think the flight to Stone City was the smoothest. But y'all handled that turbulence well, Red." Viary replied, "At least ya didn't get sick this time! Bahaha!" His hair was choppy and bright yellow colored, along with two stubby yellow bear ears. He was older than Redgy by at least ten years and had thin wrinkles under his eyes. Both men were wearing classic airplane pilot uniforms.
Sometime after all the passengers had filed off the aircraft, Redgy and Viary were able to take a short hour break for lunch before having to leave for a scheduled 8 hour flight to Bamboo City.
Sitting in the airport café, Viary and Redgy were finally able to get some food after the long flight.
"Gah! I'm starving! They need to give us more breaks for lunch." Redgy muttered as he wolfed down his small tray of salad, "Y'know I only got three hours of sleep cause of this flight?"
"You'll get used t' it." Viary said, "Say, how's them siblings of yers? Meggy and…uh…"
"Eggy." Redgy nodded, "I talk to Meggy every now and then, she's doing pretty good, has a job working at some science-y place."
"And Eggy?"
"I haven't talked to him in years. After that incident with the box, he's never been the same…" Redgy mumbled, stabbing at a lettuce leaf with his fork. At that moment, Redgy's cell phone began to buzz. Pulling the old cell out of his pocket, he flipped it open and held it to his ear, "Hello?"
"Redgy! Thank god you answered! It's bad!" The voice on the other end exclaimed through thick static. Redgy immediately recognized the voice as Rainier, his childhood friend from back when he lived in Happy Tree Town. The two had hated each other for a good number of years but when they both got into their preteen years, they became inseparable friends.
"Rainier? What's wrong?" Redgy covered his other ear with his hand to block out the café noise.
"I can't explain right now! You gotta get over to Happy Tree Town right now! There's these…things that are taking control of everyone's bodies! Toothy is already one of them and Splendon't just turned Nutty into one! Get over here!" Rainier panicked, his voice becoming high pitched and desperate, something that Redgy rarely ever heard.
"What?! Rainier, what things? What's going on?" Redgy shouted, standing up and causing a few heads to turn. There was some rustling and faint angry voices over the phone before a different voice spoke.
"Birdbrain! You'd better get your feathery ass out here right now! We need all the help we can get! B-Bring your stupid siblings too!" Quasar shouted. He'd always been a rude person but at the moment his voice was panicky and fearful. Even though Redgy hadn't talked to the hyena in years he knew Quasar rarely sounded this terrified. "Don't come into town on the main road! They got that road full of traps, take the forest route, got it?! I- AAH! SHIT! GET THE H-" click. He'd been disconnected.
Redgy quickly redialed the number.
Ri-i-i-ng…..
Ri-i-i-ng….
Ri-i-i-ng….
No answer. Redgy repeated this several more times before he stared at Viary, who had a worried look on his face, "Oi, what's going on, Red?"
"I-I have no clue. But I gotta go to Happy Tree Town." Redgy explained as he picked up his stuff.
"What?! Mate, we have a scheduled flight in half an hour, we-"
"I gotta get to Happy Tree Town! Something bad's going on; I can feel it in my feathers!"
"Red! Ya can't just lea-"
"Sorry Viary! Later! Cover for me!" Redgy bolted from the café, ignoring the angry shouts from his co-pilot friend. It took him about ten minutes to get out of the airport and onto the sidewalk. Pulling out his cellphone again, he dialed a number.
"Hello?" A high pitched female voice answered.
"Meggy! It's an emergency, something's wrong with Rainier and Quasar." Redgy quickly explained everything that both Rainier and Quasar had said.
"Redgy are you sure? It could be just another prank, I-"
"It's not." Redgy said simply, "I'm going to take a taxi to the outskirts of the forest, meet me there, okay? And try to get a hold of Eggy if you can."
"…Okay. I'll try." Meggy sighed and hung up on Redgy. The robin closed his phone and scanned the streets for a taxi to hail. Suddenly, his phone rang again. Flipping open his phone, he saw it was Rainier's number.
"Hello?!" He answered quickly.
"Stay outta town if you don't want you and your siblings to end up dead." click. Redgy nearly dropped his phone in shock. He recognized the voice as Toothy's, the buck toothed beaver man he remembered from his childhood. Only it sounded like another voice was overlapping his. A much darker, much sinister voice.
'I'd better find a damn taxi soon…'
About an hour or so later, Redgy was staring out the window at the approaching, dark shrouded forest as the taxi driver, a blue haired middle aged man with raccoon ears, slowly came to a stop.
"Ah dunno why you'd want to go near that forest, guy, but I'm none to judge." The taxi driver shrugged.
"Err, family business. I gotta get to Happy Tree Town." Redgy said shakily, digging out his wallet.
"Happy Tree Town? That screwed up place?" The driver stared at him with wide eyes, "Boy, it must be some emergency, to wanna go anywhere near that town. Ah hear they got killers and psychos everywhere, dontcha know."
Handing the driver a large amount of carefully counted out bills, Redgy grabbed his small backpack and climbed out of the taxi. Watching as the taxi sped away from sight, he stared ahead at the main road going through the dense forest to Happy Tree Town. Remembering Quasar's words, he swallowed hard.
"Redgy!" Meggy exclaimed as she ran towards her brother. The 25 year old woman had waist long, straight red hair and two bright orange bird feathers sticking out of the top of her head. She was wearing a professional looking lab coat since she had to run right out of the lab where she worked. She had tail feathers identical to Redgy's and looked similar to her triplet in almost everyway. The woman tackled Redgy in a hug.
"Meggy, you made it!" Redgy grinned and hugged his sister back.
"Yeah, the taxi driver thought I was nuts for wanting to go into the forest."
"Did you get a hold of Eggy?"
"No…I've left probably ten messages but he still won't answer." Meggy grumbled. Redgy released her from the hug and sighed, staring at the forest.
"Well, time to go see was all the fuss is about." He muttered, "Quasar said we shouldn't take the main road. You remember that path we found when we were kids that lead to that lake?"
"Yup."
"Alright, let's go fi-" Redgy was cut off as his cell phone began to ring again. Fumbling to answer it as quickly as possible, he held it to his ear, "H-Hello?"
"Yar! Redgy! It be Russell!" The otter pirate on the other end answered. The static had cleared up slightly and his voice sounded a lot calmer than the others.
"Russell? Russell, what's going on?" Redgy demanded, "Where's Rainier?"
"Err, Rainier's in a bit o' a tight spot at the moment. Yar, look, I know he told ye to come to Happy Tree Town, but it'd be best if ye didn't." The pirate explained, his voice shaking slightly, "Yar, we don't want ya gettin' hurt. We can handle this ourselves."
"What. Is. Going. On?!" Redgy practically shouted, "We're on the outskirts of the freaking forest, we're not turning back now!"
"Yar! Get away from here, lad! These demons are nothing t' bat an eye at! "
"Russell! Get off the fucking phone, we need your help!" A faint voice shouted and Redgy was suddenly disconnected.
"Dammit!" Redgy threw his phone at the ground, cracking the screen slightly.
"So…um...a-are we going?" Meggy asked shakily.
"Damn right we are." Redgy said, grabbing Meggy's wrist, "Eggy or no Eggy, we gotta make sure no one's hurt." With that, the two siblings darted into the thick brush, completely unaware of what they were getting themselves into.
Ahaha...ha..so yeah. So anyways...ahem. Just what is going on in Happy Tree Town? Will Redgy and Meggy get there on time? Are Rainier, Russell, and Quasar still alive? What are these demon things? Where the fluff is Eggy? And is everyone else in town alright? Stay tuned!
