Eagle Island

I was gonna make Red and Leonard have sex in the last chapter, but figured that would be a little too far. Enjoy!

The piggy submarine burst through the thick ice covering Eagle Island's coast. Fortunately, the volcanic superweapon was in the Island's center, so no one noticed. It was time to begin the mission.

The hatch on the face of the submarine opened, and the heist crew emerged. They were all decked out in yellow snowsuits and white fluffy hats to protect themselves from the cold... and because of how cool they looked. With confidence, Red took the first steps but accidentally slipped and fell all the way down the ramp and into the snow. The pigs started to laugh, only for Garry to slip himself. He grabbed Leonard to stop his fall but just ended up pulling Leonard along with him. Garry landed in the snow, and Leonard landed on top of Red. Bomb let out a chuckle, but found himself sliding down the ramp on his feet.

“Careful, buddy," Chuck said nervously, but went tail over breast and slid down the ramp. Silver slipped too and Courtney, staring at her phone, just purposely fell down the ramp after them. The whole group was now in a pile.

“Whoa!" Red gasped, looking up at the volcano in the distance. Some snow fell from the cone as the whole island seemed to shake. Red looked back to the rest of her team and got back on her feet. “Okay, guys. Let's do this."

“We got this!" Silver said confidently as the rest of the team picked themselves up.

“Here we go!" Bomb whooped.

“We got an island to save, kids!" Chuck shouted with excitement.

“Uh, two islands?" Leonard corrected. “We have two islands to save!"

“I can't do this!" Mighty Eagle whimpered, frozen in fear. “I've made a terrible mistake!"

“What are you talking about?" Red asked.

“Zeta!"

Red was confused. “Who is Zeta?"

“The leader of the eagles, the one who's been trying to destroy our islands..." he paused, “... and my ex-fiancée."

“Wait, what?!" Chuck exclaimed.

“Did you say ‘fiancée?'" Red asked in disbelief.

“Beyoncé?!" Courtney gasped obliviously.

“And you're just telling us this now?!"

“Better late than never," Mighty Eagle replied, letting out a sheepish grin before explaining everything.

Mighty Eagle met Zeta back in high school, and they immediately felt a connection. He was the pretty boy and she was the class nerd, but they were a match made in heaven. They did everything together, and couldn't spend a minute not thinking about each other. Then one day, Zeta proposed to Mighty Eagle. He couldn't say no to her, but didn't feel ready for such a commitment. So... he left Eagle Island, abandoning his love on their wedding day.

“How could you leave her like that?" Silver gasped in shock.

“Because I... am a coward," he confessed. “Many of you didn't know that about me."
