As they descended the now-abandoned castle, the League found the Angry Birds unconscious but mostly unharmed, Red Beard drenched in fruit juice and no sign whatsoever of the Ninja Quartet. They wasted no time in setting off for the lab of the Jelly Car's creator.
After arriving at the inventor's lab, they found he had not one but three Jelly Cars available. This was just as well because there was no way they would all fit into one jelly car.
"The original Jelly Car is the most durable", explained the inventor as the three Jelly Cars tumbled in their rotating "garages". "It was locked to its original design though. The latter two were made customisable and able to utilise upgrades found on the Abstract Plane but at the cost of a little durability. Keep this in mind if you plan on putting them through a lot of danger".
"What dangers are there on this "abstract plane"?" asked Richard. "And how durable are we talking here?"
"The abstract plane is full of things that move, crush, pierce and squash. A Jelly Car will become easily deformed by these things, as one might expect of a vehicle made of jelly, but my original Jelly Car will keep going and eventually return to its original shape no matter how deformed it gets as long as the wheels aren't dragged more than ten feet from the body by an external force. The second and third Jelly Cars similarly so, but they have a slight tendency to become tangled in platforms or themselves if significantly deformed. This will break the car and either eject or destroy its contents".
"I don't know about you but I feel safest in the original", said
Richard.

The three Jelly Cars were transported to the empty castle by helicopters (only possible now since the wizard was gone).
"Everyone ready?" asked Richard as he, Red Beard and the Red and Black Angry birds got into the First Jelly Car. The Zombie Farmer was taking the Second Jelly Car, transformed into a bus-like form, along with his zombies, the Green, White and Blue birds and the Doodler, and the Third was occupied by Tappi Bear and the Yellow, Dark Red, Orange and Pink birds".
"Hold on a minute", said a familiar French-accented voice. Between them and the portal, four familiar figures appeared.
It seemed the Ninja Quartet was back.
