Hey! I'm back! I noticed that a lot of stories on the first page of the angry birds Fanfiction archive. Take place in the movie universe. But just so you guys know this story takes place in the universe where the birds are balls. I just like them better that way! I'm NOT saying I hate the movie birds!

Well, read and review!

The torches provided some light as the birds walked down the stairs.

"LUCA! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Stella called

"I'M AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS! YOU GUYS NEED TO SEE WHATS DOWN HERE!" Luca responded. When the birds and critters made it to the bottom they couldn't believe their eyes. It was a large underground room filled with gold, gems, and all sorts of treasures.

"Hmmmm… this must be where the former ruler of golden island kept his valuables." Dahlia thought out loud.

"What makes you say that?" Poppy asked

"Well, from some of the history books I've read at school: the king of golden island was very greedy and cruel. Like someone we know *cough* Gale *cough* and mostly because of that old picture on that wall." The others looked to back wall and saw a drawing of a pig wearing a crown that looked exactly like Gale's was standing on the top of the stairway and several smaller pigs were hauling treasure down the stairs and dumping it into the room.

"Hey, do you guys think Gale knew about this treasure room?" Willow asked. Everyone pondered at the question.

"I really don't know… but if she did, then she would have been searching the clearing for the secret passageway! And from what I saw, she never left that chair. So probly not…" Dahlia answered.

"If she knew or not, Gale would be in heaven if she saw all this!" Poppy said

"She just LOVES bling even after getting turned into a golden statue." While they were talking stella all of sudden heard something, it was no louder than a whisper. Stella turned to the back of the room and squinted, then she saw a faint gleam of red light coming from one of the treasure piles. Stella raised an eyebrow and walked towards it. When she stopped infront of the pile she saw the light Glowing slightly in-between the openings in the pile. Stella cleared away some of the treasure to get a better look and when she did she then saw the source of the light.

...

She reached in and pulled out a Ruby ring…

...

Stella looked at the ring with amazement, the others took notice of Stella's absence. Looked around the room then spotted Stella near one of the treasure piles holding something. Curious, they went over to her.

"Hey, Stella! What's that your holding?" Luca asked, Stella shrugged.

"I don't know… I think it's called a Bing? No no, a ping? Zing? Ling?" (Just so you know they don't have fingers and this is the first time Stella has seen a ring. And she doesn't Really know what it is)

"I think it's called a ring…" Dahlia pointed out.

"Wow! And it has a Ruby on it! And it's Glowing!" Willow said shocked. Dahlia then walked up to it and pulled a magnifying glass out of nowhere.

"Well let's take a closer look shall we?" She asked, and the others just looked at her confused.

"What?"

"You decided to bring a Magnifying glass to a picnic?" Poppy asked.

"Well you never know when you might need one." Dahlia said causally as she held it up towards the ring.

"Hmmm…Interesting…..mmmm hmmmm…." Then took the magnifying glass away from the ring

"from the looks of it… after being underground for so long and who knows what else, the ring seems to be in good condition! But the glow makes it look so… alive… and up close the ring looks very old, probaly ancient-" she was cut of by Poppy.

"TIME OUT! First the ring is still in good condition, second it's got a glow to it, and your saying it's ancient?" Poppy questioned

"Yes."

"Okay then. Stella… PUT THAT THING BACK!" Poppy suddenly screamed almost giving Willow a heart attack.

"Whoa! Hang on, why?" Stella asked confused.

"Uh, duh! Because it's ancient! And what I've learned from experience is that: Ancient things always mean trouble!"

"No they don't!" Stella argued.

"Yes they do! Here are a few examples: remember the crown that Gale found?" Everyone thought for a minute. When Gale discovered that crown she became corrupted and power hungry.

"Then there was that time on Halloween!" everyone in the room shuddered. Getting turned into pigs by an ancient tribe of pigs was NOT the best experience! Especially for Dahlia!

"And let's not forget the golden egg!" The same egg that manipulated Dahlia, the egg that Gale found, the egg that turned everything it touched into gold, (Including Gale) and the same egg they had to slingshot off the island.

"And I am NOT going to take ANY chances with that ring! After MY history with ancient stuff, I sure have a reason not to!" Then Poppy turned away. The others looked at each other with concerned looks.

"Stella… I'm afraid I have to agree with Poppy…" Willow said gently.

"Me too!" Luca chirped "the pig thing was Really Really scary!"

"I'm surprised to say this but… Poppy is right." Dahlia sighed

"after all the things we've been through… we shouldn't take any chances with that thing." Stella took a deep breath and sighed.

"okay guys. besides, I wasn't planning on keeping the stupid thing anyway." Then set it on top of one of the smaller stacks of treasure.

"Okay Everyone, were done here. And we have a picnic to get to!"

"Yes! That pie is calling out Luca!" Luca cheered then ran up the stairs. Willow giggled at how excited Luca looked. She turned around and saw the critters playing in the treasure, she then made some clicking noises and the critters stopped and ran over to her. Emily landed on Willow's hat while she laughed a little then walked up the stairs with Autumn, Peter, and Gus following her. Dahlia watched them with a dumbfounded expression on her face

"I will never understand how she gets along so well with wild critters." Dahlia muttered as she headed up. Poppy began to walk up, then Stella took a few steps up the stairs…

"I'm breaking out…" Stella froze in place. It sounded like a deep and powerful voice, but it was as loud as a whisper.

"This was bound to happen… why was I such a fool?" Stella turned around and looked into the room. This voice sounded like a girl. But it was no louder than a whisper as well. Am I imagining things? Stella thought. She stared at the ring in silence….

"Hey Stella!" a voice behind her suddenly appeared. Stella yelped in surprise, then turned around and saw it was only Poppy.

"Poppy…" Stella growled in annoyance.

"Sheesh, sorry. I was walking up when I noticed you weren't behind me. I went down a few steps and saw that you were just standing here staring at that ring."

"Oh, sorry…" Stella said while shaking her head.

"I thought I heard something… it's probably cuz I'm just hungry." Poppy chuckled

"Yeah, we would have eaten sooner but you know who tried to trash our picnic! C'mon! Let's hurry before the others eat up all the food!" Then headed back up the stairs. stella followed but took one last glance at the ring.

"Oh c'mon Stella…" She said to herself

"it's just a ring." Then walked up the stairs. But, after she left something very peculiar happened. The ring started having some blackish blueish sparks spark around it. Then in it's Shadow on the wall a large claw burst from ring.

….

With Stella….

Stella walked up from the stair way and on to the grass. She looked at her friends, Willow was standing by the metal tree and she pulled on the same branch that Emily landed on. Then the ground beside the tree closed up. Then the friends walked back over to their stuff and put their picnic back together. They picked up where they left off and started eating. Even the critters!

"Hey guys?" Stella suddenly asked. Everyone looked at her.

"What is it?" Dahlia asked

"Well, I was just thinking… do you think there are other places out in this world?" everyone looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" Poppy asked

"I don't know… It's just a thought I suddenly had… it's just that… you know the Golden egg?" everyone nodded as to say: "Uh, duh"

"Well, what about before that? Before the king of golden island, before the egg, before Gale's book, and before golden island was ever discovered. Was their something else there once?" Poppy shrugged

"I don't know… probably just 'stuff' nothing important. Besides if it was, someone would have told us by now!"

"Well, maybe they don't know. I don't know where these thoughts came from, but I can't help but wonder that there could be more to our very world's history then we have ever imagined…" everyone stopped for a minute then looked back at Stella.

"Stella, does this have something to do with that ring?" Dahlia asked

"…maybe…" she seemed unsure of her answer.

"Come on Stella! Get some food in that tummy of yours! You'll feel better!" Luca begged. Stella smiled back at him, she loved her friends dearly she really did. Sometimes they were like family, the only family Luca has ever known.

"Alright, alright. I'll eat if it makes you feel better Luca." Stella laughed then started munching on the veggies. As they ate they talked about their battle with the pigs and how fun it was. But right in the middle of their lunch Willow looked up and saw dark clouds appear in the sky. Dahlia saw Willow looking up, so she looked up too!

"Hmmm… that's strange I swore I checked the weather moniter in my lab before we left, and it didn't show any signs of rain today…"

"Well, looks like you need to get that thing fixed Dahlia. " Poppy said as she started putting the food away.

"Wait! So, the picnic is over?" Luca asked sadly

"Don't worry Luca, we can always go again some other day." Willow said trying to comfort him. As the others were packing up, there was a sound. Everyone stopped, it almost sounded like an explosion but under ground and over by the metal tree there was a rumbling noise.

"G-g-guys I think something is down there…." Willow studdered, Luca stepped a little closer to her.

"uh… don't worry, there is nothing down there! Even if there was there is NO WAY it can get out of that underground treasure chamber-" dahlia was cut off again when a Ray of dark purple shot up from the passageway destroying both the fake tree and doors. Everyone was dumbfounded. And kinda scared.

"Uhhhh…" was all she could get out. Then a trail of black mist made it's way out of the hole in the ground. Everyone stared at it silently. It stopped. It was few yards away from them, then it began to take form of something… it had arms and hands with sharp claws on them, legs and wearing what looked like boots on it's feet, it had a dark purple torn cape and had two horns on it's head that looked like large purple crystal shards and the rest of it was black and had a dark misty arua around it. It was facing away from them so they couldn't see it's face. And it couldn't see them.

"For so many centuries… I was actually imprisoned for over a thousand years." It's vocie sounded very powerful also very dark. It turned over to the destroyed entrance to the treasure room.

"I don't even know where I am… or how I got here… well no matter I will finish what a started!

"W-w-who's that?" Luca whispered very silently to his friends.

"I don't know, probably a guy that all of us will see in our nightmares! " Poppy whispered back a little loudly. And the dark figure heard this and turned around to see the Stella flock. When he turned around they saw his face: it looked like a small cloud of mist with red Glowing eyes he seemed to be wearing a type of battle uniform that was also dark purple with a spiked belt. He looked at them and he smiled evilly a bit when he did they saw he had some white teeth that looked pretty sharp…

"Well now, it appears a group of pathetic creatures have over heard my thoughts." Stella did not take that thing calling her and her friends "pathetic" very well. She attempted to charge at him but Poppy quickly grabbed her tail and pulled her back.

"Now how cute is that? A little bird is trying to attack me after the true fact I stated?" he laughed darkly

"Well, after my imprisonment I guess I could use a warm up only..." a dark sparking ball appeared in his hand and aimed it at Stella and her friends

"None of you will be alive afterwards…" then fired the ball

"Guys! We have to move!" Stella yelled then the ball made contact we the ground infront of them and there was a small explosion….

*Dramatic music* CLIFF! HANG! ER! What is this strange dark creature? Are Stella and the others okay? And was Poppy right about all ancient things being bad news? All questions will be answered NEXT TIME! Just so you know I updated chapter 2 of this story so you might want to check it out. Glowing Gem out!
