Flight restored, wings regrown.
Gielinor
oh duh, this thing can teleport
Evil Chicken and the silvery faceless humanoid that was holding him reappeared somewhere in the northern wilderness. The bot started scanning the new territory.
"I forgot you can teleport. I can just skip going through the Killerwatt plane altogether now, can't I?"
"Was our previous location part of a separate universe than the one designated Milliway's?"
"Yes it was, and I was the one that teleported us there in case you were confused. That universe is known as the Killerwatt plane." Evil Chicken had worked with golems before, he was sure this thing's learning process was similar. "If you are ever low on energy, teleport yourself there. Don't spend too much time in there, though, someone may notice your ability to absorb electrical attacks and think you are some neat new monster to slay."
"Acknowledged," replied the bot.
"And this is an entirely different universe altogether. This -- well, at least the planet we are standing on, is called Gielinor. Let me turn around so I can see were we are." Evil Chicken was facing the bot's chest throughout the ordeal in the Killerwatt plane in order to partially shield his eyes. He wasn't ready to leave the bot's arms yet though.
"Acknowledged," replied the bot,as it loosened its embrace of the chicken.
Ah, good, no one around thought the chicken to himself after shifting around. Nothing but scorched earth for miles. "This, most probably is the wilderness." Now came the difficult part. "I can't teleport here," or anywhere on this plane due to the interference of the Magic Guild. "Get us 1000 feet in the air so both of us can get a better idea of were we are."
The bot and the chicken disappeared and then reappeared at exactly 1000 feet above their previous location. As they fell downward, Evil Chicken scanned the horizon and the Providor unit scanned the lands below, diligently preparing a mental map.
Oh, the thrill of being this high in the air again! The freedom of free fall, without the worry about impacting the ground! This is what they took away from him when they clipped his wings, and now, after several months, his wings have been replaced.
"There! To the south-east! That is Varrock. To the south is Edgeville. Teleport us somewhere outside Varrock's northern wall; hopefully no one will see us."
Again, the bot and the chicken disappeared, this time reappearing in the forest outside Varrock's northern wall.
"Set me down on the ground." The bot obeyed Evil Chicken's order and stood upright as the chicken inspected its silver form. "Darn, can't wander into the city with you looking like that. Hrrmmm.... back to the Killerwatt plane." Evil Chicken took to the air and perched on the bot's head. Both disappeared once more.
Killerwatt plane
This time, they were in a different part of the plane, but before the bot could finish mapping the new location, they teleported once more. In front of them was a shimmering pool of white light. Evil Chicken spoke up again. "This is the portal from the Killerwatt plane back into Gielinor. There might be someone on the other side who isn't expecting you to step through, so be ready to do what I say."
"I am always ready."
"Let's go through the portal then."
Gielinor, Draynor Mansion
It was Ava's turn to watch the portal and make sure the fools who decided to go in were given the standard disclaimers about epileptic attacks and death by electrocution. Today had been slow, though. Slow enough that she was inspecting Oddenstien's machine and attempting to determine how it was keeping the portal open.
A silvery man shaped thing and an abnormally sized chicken stepped though the portal. The chicken, she recognized; the humanoid, she did not. "Seize her! She will be your new face!"
In two quick steps the bot grabbed Ava by the wrists and held them above her head. It appeared to be ogling her shape. That would be true, if it had eyes.
"Let go! Help!" she shouted. As she struggled against the bot, she had an idea. "Backpack! This thing looks metal, they tearing it apart for spare parts!" The backpack she was wearing sprung to life (or rather, unlife) as two dozen undead elongated chicken legs came out, talons clutching the most powerful magnets Ava had found and various instruments for cutting and shaping metal. The talons swung wildly around Ava, stabbing at the humanoid who held their master. Soon they were opposed by identical twins springing from the backpack a duplicate Ava was wearing.
"Enough. Let her go. And don't you dare attempt anything like that with my new prize ever again unless you want to be replaced."
Ava #2 released the original Ava. The original Ava's backpack was still seeking to destroy the bot. Seeing this, Evil Chicken unleashed a wind spell at Ava #1 which knocked her back and away form Ava #2.
"Ava... you seriously need to find a better way of control that... thing of yours."
"What is that thing? Why does it look like me now?" Ava #1 got up slowly from the floor, sore from the struggle. The limbs of her backpack were still flailing about, looking for metal to destroy. The limbs that sprung from Ava #2's backpack had settled down and tucked themselves back into the backpack.
"Careful Ava, you are awfully close to the portal generator." She was, and seeing this, she whispered a command to her backpack. The limbs hid themselves. "This," Evil Chicken gestured toward Ava #2, "is a marvel of technology from another world, built by a very clever girl."
"What? How?"
"What do you mean how? You were once a very clever girl. Both you and Penny, I suspect."
Ava let out a small involuntary snarl at Penny's name. "That is not what I meant. How was it built?"
"I suspect a lot of that semiconductor technology went into it. In her world it has advanced so much that something like Oddenstein's machine can be reduced to the size of a thimble. No magic involved, and no undead parts."
He's trying to anger her. Why? "And it changes shape..."
"Oh, that's because most its volume isn't actually real. It's something called a solid hologram." He can talk about his new toy all day long. "It can lift large weights, it can absorb electric and probably magic attack, and best of all, it can teleport!"
"So, you got your very own mahjarrat?"
Evil Chicken was speechless for a minute.
He then turned to the robot. "Your name is Ava for now. Come on Ava, I think you have been spending too much time researching the undead. Let's go outside for a walk."
Evil Chicken lead the robot, who was now wearing Ava's face, out of the room, leaving the original Ava alone in the room again, grumbling and trying to massage her bruises away.
