As a special treat i'm going to leave some of the random things I normally remove, like stuipid little comments I add while typing. After typing this, I think my brain was formatted, so you can expect stupid interludes for the next few days.

Chapter 3

Battle at Bird Land

Current time: 3:13 A.M.
Location: Bird Land, Kiris pass

Jazz and his "army" lands in front of Kiris Pass, where the next battle will probably begin. Jazz begins to look at his surroundings. 2 large mountains on either side of a wide valley. It was really rough and rocky here and vegetation was scarce. The winds here chilled him to the bone and felt like knives on his skin. Still, he needed to organize his force and set up proper defence. A bird flew over to him and perched on a rock, got out his keyboard and began to type "Greetings Jazz, it's good to see you. The turtles will take at least 3 days to get here, so that gives us time to rest and prepare. Beyond this pass is one of our industrial citys and we can't afford to lose it. This battle will be very important but our morale seems to be up and we should have no time restocking. We should easly be able to defeat them here." Jazz nodded and turned towards his troops. "Alright my army, we can rest for now but tom..." His entire army was already fast asleep.

Current time: 11:48 A.M.
Location: Bird Land, Kiris pass

Jazz's troops are now fully awake and Jazz himself is off having a confernce with the bird captain of this area. Spaz walks amongst the troops and helps them get prepared for the upcoming assult. Lori comes out from her recon around the mountain pass. "Not a turtle in sight." She says to Spaz. Spaz nods and continues to help the troops.

*meanwhile*

Jazz steps into the meeting room. Flip and some other birds are already there drinking nectar and talking about the big game last night. Jazz sits down and a waiter flies over to him, holding a small glass of carrot juice. He takes a sip and looks at some random maps sprawled across the table. Finally the door opens and a bird flies in. The bird is dark dark blue, almost black, with Green eyes. He is wearing very heavy looking golden armor across chest and has a rocket launcher strapped to his wing. He glides into the room and perches across the table from you and chirps "I am sorry for being late Flip, but ran into a small bit of resistence along the way. These new comers don't seem to like us very much, what is going on?" Flip replies "shgf(Drax), these are the turtles we warned you about. Jazz defeated their leader a small time ago and now they seem to be on a rampage, killing and conquering everything in sight." Drax closes his eyes and sighs. "I knew meddling in the affairs of Jackrabbits would only result in our demise. Yet you wouldn't listen." Jazz suddenly injerjects "Wait, you said you had run into some troubles along the way here. If you are a bird then how come you couldn't have just flown away." Draz turned on Jazz and said "They were on crude flying mechanisms" Scilence rang over the meeting room. Then it struck Jazz. It would take days for turtles to arrive here on land, but how long would it take for them to arrive in flying machines. Realizing this Jazz fled from the room, hoping he wasn't to late.

Current time: 12:37 P.M.
Location: Bird Land, Kiris pass

Jazz came running back into the pass thinking the worst. The valley loomed into his sight, and he gasped. Everyone was still there, setting up defenses. He came up to Spaz and asked "Spaz, has anything happened yet?" "No" Spaz answered. "Why?" Jazz said "I heard that the turtles have built flying devices and they may be arriving any second." Spaz laughed and replied "Bro, you need to lighten up. We are well prepared to withstand any attack. Land, sea, or air." He turned around and began to walk away. Jazz sighed, and sat down on a rock.

Current time: 6:17 P.M.
Location: Bird Kand, Kiris pass

BOOM! Jazz jerks awake and looks around. Wham! He crashed back down to the earth. The rock he was sleeping on literally exploded. Admist the dust he heard the sounds of Blaster fire and got out his own gun. He Stood up and ran towards the sound of the battle feild. When he emerged from the dust and smoke, noticed a large force of lizards flying about the pass. While most where being shot down, many were still making their way towards the city. Jazz loading some seekers into his gun and began to fire on the swarm of lizards. A group of fallen lizards began to circle Jazz, but Lori came up and shot them all down. Lori turned to Jazz and said "We won't be able to get rid of all of the Lizard from down here." Jazz reeled in frustration, trying to think of someway to stop the lizards. He said "We must do as much damage to them as we possibly can, how many do you think are coming this way?" Lori answered "We estimate 14,897 lizards are approaching us." They stood in scilence for a second, and Jazz began to fire on the swarm again. Lori turned around and ran back towards the front lines.

*Phew, too much typing. My keyboard must hate me*

Jazz fallowed Lori and continued to fire seekers at the lizards. When they arrived at the front lines, Jazz noticed that the turtle ground force was already approaching them. "This dosn't look too good. We need re-enforcements." Spaz reported. "I think I can supply that need." Jazz looked up and saw Drax and a few birds flying towards them. "You worry about the ground force, I'll take out the lizards. "Jazz readied his blaster on top of some crates set up as a make shif barricade. He popped a few fast fire augments into his gun and began to fire. The turtles seemed impervious to their pathetic attempts and continued to storm up the hill towards them. The birds overhead where decimating their opponents with strange laser type weaponry. The land mines set up ahead of them were of little use, as the turtles relentlessly charged. Jazz yelled "FALL BACK!" and his army turned and ran towards their secondary defence. Within seconds, the turtles had overran the previous blockade and where already piling into the vally. Bombs are detonating all around them and sevral rabbits are directly hit. The remainder of the army pile into the bunkers and begin firing on the turtles yet again. The combat rages on, and the turtles begin to directly attack their bunkers. Many turtles are killed, and finally they retreat, but they left a mark upon their army. Out of the 28 soldiers they had, 5 survived, bird casulties were in the 100's, and Spaz was nowhere to be found. Jazz relaxed about a hair until suddenly, the turtles came charging back. They had no choice but to run back into the city, collect villagers, and teleport back to their main base.

Current time: 2:22 P.M. , 2 days after the battle at Kiris pass
Location: Bird Land command center

Jazz was walking down the cold steel hallways of the command center. The building itself is basicly a hollowed out mountain, and the peak of this particular mountain almost brakes the strato-sphere. The walls of the command center are lined with doors and special transit warps which allow you to slide any distance ranging from 11 inches to 11 miles almost instantly, and the floor is nice and carpeted. But Jazz's mind is elsewhere, wonder where Spaz could be. As he walks aimlessly down the hallways, Drax slides out of a shadow. "Greetings, jackrabbit." He says. "We have gotten our reports from various cities, and we are calling a meeting in the main hall to discuss our next plan. Fallow me." He steps into a crack inside a wall which would be wide enough for a piece of paper. Jazz tries to step into it and...He is suddenly in a chair at the meeting room (Again, I need to think of something more original) in a great hall. On both walls long banners hang and statues are seemingly everywere. The floor is made of the finest marble, and there seems to be a small ditch where water is running through. Vegetation seems to be growing out of random places in the room, and the table is made out of an exotic material which isn't found on Carrotus. A robot floats over to Jazz and offers him a Tab. He drinks it and then looks towards the other people in the room. Drax, Flip, Chuck, and a few other birds. Drax clears his voice and says "Well it seems like everyone has arrived. Now as it currently stands the turtles have taken control over 14 out of our 18 major countries and are advancing on us right now. As you can see we hardly stand a chance if they can simply absorb casulties like they do. We have only one option, leave our homeland and escape to the Jackrabbit Homeworld.
