Chapter 515.
"Day 2: A new comer."
(Yellow Stone Peak Hotel.)
Just another normal and casual day for those who are locked, stocked and ready for what comes tomorrow, and what comes tomorrow is the big contest of Bald Eagles and the five preteens are all having some breakfast with Luna.
Even the eagles enjoy the food they were all brought, then Lincoln looks to the others and speaks. "Alright, so should we go through what Steve said the other day?"
They all nod. So, Jordan speaks first. "The Tag Team eagle contest hasn't changed at all, they still have to go with the simple of amazing eagle tag team tricks and the judges will score them on how great they all performed."
Hope. "The real change is in the singles Eagle challenge, which starts off with the same old testing the speed of the bald eagle through the many obstacles in the way and those said obstacles have been given some more stuff to go through, the event will be timed."
Gretchen. "Then they have to test they're speed when chasing the remote controlled rabbit, which races at the same speed as the common hare when evading a predator, the judges will score if they can manage to catch the little thing before time runs out."
Ryan. "Then we got the impact and dive performance, to see how far and fast the eagle can dive back to the ground, and then test the strike of their force of talons onto the target below."
Lincoln smiles. "Good, we know what to do and we know that the changes have been made, which we can handle. Looks like we're ready for the next day."
Luna chuckles. "Dang right you all are and as usual the guys i=of the event asked me to perform, they want me to do a solo on my axe for the American National Anthem."
Angel is happy for this. "Oh man, I am so stoked for today, and I know that this is not gonna be the last day for us, and we get another round as we go to some rides and try some other stuff today and I so wanna go back on the Eagle dart game and score me the big Bald Eagle plush."
"Brakes on the wings there, Angel" replied Lincoln, this makes them chuckle. "Let's not get too carried away. We're gonna be enjoying the festival sure, but know that we also have to take a look at the playing field and see what we might be up against."
"Though, I doubt they'll even let the competitors see the field yet, but at least we might run into some good and friendly competition when we get there. We might run into the guys and gals who were part of the event last year."
Jordan also agrees. "It's nice to see some friendly faces who aren't gunning for the winners circle and end up gloating, some good sportsmanship is all that matters, kinda like when we competed during the events of the Gamers tournament last year."
Gretchen then recalls something. "Guys, what sport are we doing this Saturday?"
It came to them. "Dodge ball!"
"Right, by the time this event is done, we need to go back to Royal Woods and do some last minute training in dodge ball and then we face the real deal when Saturday hits" replied Lincoln.
"No kidding" replied Jordan. "But know this, we're going up against Detroit and chances they might be friendly, or not. The issues differs and let's hope they do become friendly foes to go up against and not like those dirt bags back at Hazeltucky."
Luna scoffs. "Dude, don't remind me. I hated that dang coach and his mean ordeals with the sport. I hope he ain't around to do any trouble, he wants to make his players be cool, but they only get hurt."
"Let's change the topic and forget about those dorks who acted like morons" said Gretchen. "Let's deal with what comes tomorrow and what comes this Saturday."
"And, since I won't leave until Sunday, Mark and I will be there to cheer you guys on" said Angel.
Jordan chuckles. "I can already tell, that this spring break will be one that all of us are gonna remember."
They all continue to talk, but the eagles spot something outside and so they go to the balcony and see Reaver, looking at this other Bald Eagle, it's not as big as them and is just staring at them, creepily.
Reaver speaks to them in the Eagle language. "That guy has been staring at this balcony for 2 straight hours, but I think he was here all night."
Patriot. "You supposes he might be the competition and trying to be intimidating? Because it's not working, he's just staring and something seems off about this guy. Something, unnatural."
Reaver. "He might as well be, and chances he might be checking onto the competition. But, I spoke with the other competing eagles and they said that this one hasn't been seen outside of their apartments and homes."
"So this thing has been staring at you guys all night long. I spoke to an owl and he said that this guy has been staring at this room, for a whole night. That is not normal."
Valkyrie. "Then something is terribly wrong, and that weird eagle is the one who… Wait, did his eyes just blink red?"
Bullet. "Guys, that thing… That eagle doesn't seem like an eagle, because something is dripping from its tail." They look closely with their eagle vision and they can see a drop of… Oil?
The eagles then see this creepy eagle take off, but they swear they can hear this odd humming sound, kinda like a machine of some sort and the eagles are now suspecting, that someone is cheating in the contest.
(Bald Eagle Festival.)
The group arrives once again and they look around the place and are amazed at the sight of the festival, with the games, rides and food. Even though they were here the other day, it always fascinated them.
"Alright, so what are we gonna start with first?" asked Lincoln.
They all decide to go around and try whatever works to their favor, and mostly for Angel Carson. She really likes this festival.
(Montage.)
They first go on a ride, and that ride is the Eagles speeder Rollercoaster and they enjoy the speed it goes through, but Lincoln and Jordan seem cool with this, they've been sky diving like they did before and sure as heck they know how to handle the speed limit. Even Luna is chill with this, she does have a fast car.
The next ride they go to is called the Eagles Sky dive, which are seats that go up and then back down and back up and then back down, but not too hard and they all cheer and enjoy this. Lincoln and Jordan seem chill with this, they did sky dive before and have done something like this once.
After multiple rides on that thing, they get off and Ryan has to empty his stomach, he did eat cotton candy earlier.
They head on to try some games and the first one they try is eagle darts and Angel did it, she won the really big eagle plush, but the plush is also, a bean bag chair. Wow!
The next one they play is tossing the eagle themed rings into the bottles that are colored like nests and Lincoln wins Jordan the eagle themed baseball cap, but she gives it to Angel instead.
Gretchen and Ryan go to play a fishing game and are hoping to win something cool, like one of the Bald Eagle alarm clocks, and they manage to score something they did not see coming. They won… A goldfish? Okay, I guess this is fine.
Turns out, that alarm clock is on another game, and Luna wins it by testing her strength and she managed to beat Peter Harris at his own game and won the prize.
Hope does the mechanical bull ride, but the ride doesn't look like a bull, it's an eagle and she beats the score and wins a scarf that is bald eagle themed.
They head to the hotdog stand and order some hotdogs to eat, and then watch as the Bald Eagles fly around and watch over the place, but they seem too focused and cautious, almost like they know something is wrong.
(End Montage.)
After trying out another Bald Eagle themed game, they're now walking around and enjoying the rest of the festival, Peter Harris is busy chatting with Steve Gray someplace else, and they both are talking about something odd going around the place. Angel Carson has a ton of Bald Eagle merchandise on her.
The baseball cap, a jacket, a t-shirt, skirt, short, shoes, bracelet, watch, the plushie, a backpack, poster, desk lamp and a 4D assembly model of a Bald Eagle. She really, really likes this festival, so, so much.
"Dang, look at you Angel, covered with so much stuff. You planning to show it to the folks back home?" asked Luna.
Angel Carson nods. "Heck yeah I am. They might be surprised and all, but at least I did something and so much to earn these, and most of the games here seem as simple as the casual carnival games Mark and I have been through."
They then see the large sign and the man entrance to the Bald Eagle contest and field. "Wow. This is the main gate and on the other side is the big contest which begins the following day" said Lincoln.
Jordan sighs at the sight. "Dang, sure feels good to be looking at what we went through last year. This place still looks as the same as it was before, almost like we never left."
"This is also where we're gonna be competing and I can't wait for that to happen" said Ryan.
"No kidding, I got goosebumps seeing this place, but I'm also feeling strong too" said Gretchen.
"That's the rush of going through something that will show that win or lose, we at least showed them how hard working we are with the training" said Hope.
"Dang right" replied Angel. "You guys have been going through training since January, and you have been coming up with new tricks. Well, the eagles have been doing that, and also getting some help from some other avians back in Royal Woods."
"You guys got this, a lot of folks are counting on ya, win or lose" said Luna.
"We know, and we're glad we got the support from the family we know and love" said Lincoln.
"Because even if they're not here. We'll always feel the spirit of those who love us, no matter how far away they are" said Jordan.
"Big deal dorks, that all sounds like some weak crappy nonsense to me, and only for losers who don't have the confidence in them to even think of themselves." The group turns around and sees this kid.
Jack Dilington Heron – A boy at the age of 13, with blonde hair that is short and has a ponytail, he also has freckles. He's dressed in green t-shirt with a black jacket with the number "69" on the back, black jeans and blue shoes, and he's wearing glasses.
The kid walks towards them with his Bald Eagle sitting on his shoulder. "Well, well. Look what Michigan's lamest brought into the educational standards. I heard so much about the less than to matter issues you had to handle and the contest accomplishment from last year, congratulations."
Lincoln and Jordan are confused, but reply. "Thanks, we appreciate the…."
"Congrats from last year, dorks. Because this year, I am winning the singles contest, I have no business with that dumb tag team one. Why be with a partner, when you can take in all the glory? And I intend to take it and show you guys that my eagle is better" said Jack.
This annoys the group. "Dude, what the heck is your issue?" asked Ryan.
"What? No issue, just some spoilers on what is to come for the rest of you who are beneath me and my eagle, Gene. Sure as the rule of true contenders, that he is the best in show and will win when tomorrow hits" replied Jack.
Harriet lands onto Ryan's shoulder. "Dude, we don't even care if we win or lose."
Artemis lands on Gretchen's shoulder. "Yeah, we'd rather just prove that these guys are as good as they're parents."
Freya lands onto Hope's shoulder. "And to show everyone that the next generation has come and that they're ready for whatever comes next, win or lose. We will prove something."
Jack snickers. "Yeah, prove that you guys are lame. Like these two, oldies." Lincoln and Jordan did not like the way he was talking to them, then Luna gets in the way.
"Alright, that's it. Back off dude, you're being a real bozo right now and we don't take likely to folks like you." Luna crosses her arms and glares at this kid, but something is wrong.
"Hmm, you seem quite the spitfire aren't ya, lady? The names Jack, and I can see that someone like you seems like the kinda gal who's into the good guy type, well I am all good guy and no need to be all aggressive, I like them when they get rough."
Luna is disgusted and slaps him in the face. "I have a girlfriend and I'm Lincoln's brother! What the heck is wrong with you? Pervert!"
This gets the attention of the others, and Jack sees everyone looking towards him, especially the other contenders and the commentators for tomorrow and Steve Grey, and Reaver lands on his shoulder.
Jack looks to the group and is ticked off. "Forget it. You guys are losers and when tomorrow comes, you'll all be nothing more than losers and be total disappointments to your dumb town and stupid family." The boy then walks off with his eagle on his shoulder.
Peter and Steve stand next to the group. "Well, looks like we got ourselves a good for nothing sore winner and loser" said Steve. "Haven't seen those kinds of folks in a long time."
"Which means he might be trouble, we should keep an eye on him" said Peter Harris.
"Yeah, a close eye" replied Lincoln. They could feel that something is terribly wrong, and that kid is the true spelling of trouble.
(Later.)
Night time and the boy known as Jack Dilington Heron is busy with something ion his desk. "There, all done." He then reattaches the head of the bald eagle… Wait a minute, what the hell?!
The robotic Bald Eagle, Gene turns on and sits onto his shoulder. "Now, when tomorrow comes. We'll make sure they never, ever win, and if they do try to win. Well, we'll make sure an injury is put to notice."
He then looks to the remote control he has, and all the settings that have been added, and even one for laser eyes. Oh good lord!
Day 2 to the 3 day event of the Bald Eagles Festival.
To be continued.
