Readers, review! Seriously, I need to know what you all think! Tell me! Love, Polydactyly

Most of the birds were safely evacuated to a cave, with Bubbles, Hal, and Sammy guarding them.

The elected Runners for the birds were Chuck and Terrence, the fastest of the birds. The Warriors were Bomb, Matilda, and Aggie. Stella, the mime, and Peckinpah were Guardians, along with a few other birds per group. Red was obviously the captain.

On the pigs side, the Runner was Ned, the Warriors were Ray and Tad, and the Guardians were Dave and Ben. Huntress was captain.

"A quick bit of info, Red," she told him while adjusting her goggles. "Captain holds all positions. Be careful."

"Careful?" Red said with a laugh. "Trouble is my middle name!"

She tapped the side of her goggles, and they vanished.

"Don't be surprised later," she warned as she flew back to her team.

Red sighed. He had to get to no man's land before six o'clock. He saw Huntress waiting for him, so he sped up.

"You ready?" She asked him when he got there. He nodded. "Alright, it is five fifty five now, at six o'clock sharp, Runners are allowed to go. Whomever has the egg at midnight, aka in six hours, wins the egg and decides what happens to both sides. No killing. Got it?"

"Yep," Red said and nodded again. He extended a wing. "May the best team win."

"Agreed," Huntress said and shook his hand, then made her way to her team, the egg shining in the center of the field.

Five! Four! Three! Two! One! all the birds and pigs yelled at one, and then an air horn blew. Chuck sped off, and Terrence teleported. But the egg was gone by the time they got there, aka a split second.

"Up here, boys!" Huntress called down, golden egg in her talons, a wide toothy grin on her face. She performed an in air flip. "Catch me if you can!"

"Terrence, throw me!" Chuck ordered, and smirking, the maroon bird was happy to oblige. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The canary soared through the air, and latched on the egg.

"Hm..." Huntress pretended to think, then suddenly swooped in a dive towards Ray. "Ray, catch!"

Ray shot a paralyzing dart at Chuck, and he fell into the tall pig's arms, struggling to stay awake. Huntress hid the egg, then relived Ray of Chuck by carrying him over to a pit. Once he was gently placed inside, she closed the mesh wire top any sealed it.

"One down, about nine left," she cheered, and Chuck woke up.

"Hey!" he yelled. Huntress looked over the pit.

"Yes?"

"Am I supposed to be stuck here for 6 hours?!" he shouted.

"Yes, unless your friends rescue you," Huntress nonchalantly replied. Chuck was about to shout something, but she cut him off. "There's a mini fridge under your cot, and a tv across it. Have fun."

Eyes wide, Chuck pulled a two gallon container of ice cream out of the freezer section, and saw the t.v. had on demand.

"This prison is heaven," he groaned as he lay back and watched his favorite series, the Flash. (You had to have seen that coming.)

Meanwhile

Aggie, Bomb and Matilda were invading enemy lines, looking for the egg. Red and Stella were looking for Chuck.

"Hey! You three!" the explosive trio heard Ben yell. They froze, and waited for Dave and Ben to reach them, then Bomb blew up, putting Ben who was closer out of commission. Dave, who was further, had a surprised look on his face, and coughed up a ball of soot. He wiped off the ashes from his glasses, only to be blasted into the sky by Matilda.

"Guard 2, requesting back up from Runner!" he screamed, tapping his communication glasses frantically. The trio watched him sail away.

"Bye," Aggie said with a wave.

"Ehem," they heard from behind them. The face the squat pig was giving them made them all crack up.

"What are you gonna do?" Bomb asked, laughing. "Pout at us?"

He began laughing so hard he did not see the monstrous cannon the pig pulled from an expanding pouch.

"Bomb," Matilda said repeatedly, staring at the machine and tapping the black bird's arm.

"Wha-ha-ha-ha... oh..."

Red and Stella

"Do you think we'll find him?" Stella asked worriedly. "Like, he was caught instantly."

"Well, we should be careful," Red replied, ducking under a branch.

"Careful?" Stella said wrinkling her beak. "When have you been careful?"

"Since I was warned to be," he answered.

"The pink and red birds that think they are going unnoticed, halt!"

They whipped around to be looking down the barrel of a laser, the pig called Ray behind it.

"Run Red!" Stella said, tackling him. Red did not need to be told twice.

As he stumbled through the jungle, he tripped on a root that was in his path.

"Red? That you?"

He couldn't believe his ears. Chuck's voice seemed to be coming from below him.

"Chuck?"

"The one and only. Hey, can you get me out of this ditch? I finished catching up on the Flash, so I can go now."

The Explosive Trio (I now trademark that.)

Bomb had blown up the machine, but it knocked him and Matilda out. Aggie found herself facing off against the short and chubby pig. She quickly knocked him out with her laser eyes, and the next second, she saw Huntress looking down at her from on top of Bomb. She had an amused expression on, and it made Aggie angry, but she didn't know why.

"Get off him!" she growled, throwing three sharp needle like feather at the silver bird, and stared in shock when she caught all three mid air, then crumpled them and tossed them aside.

"You should learn to aim better." She told the white and puffy bird.
