Chicky was a perfectly normal chicken living on Farmer Brown’s farm. He had never thought of leaving his comfortable life, with endless seeds and lots of friends. That is, until one day he heard Farmer Brown talking to his wife.

“The chickens aren’t laying eggs, the cows aren’t producing milk, and the pigs aren’t giving birth,” Farmer Brown had said. “I’m going to sell them to the butcher next week.”

Chicky ran as fast as his little legs could carry him back to the barn, where he told everybody about the farmer’s plan. Afterwards, they took a vote and everyone decided to escape the farm as soon as possible.

So that night, Chicky secretly picked the locks on the pens one by one. The animals quietly tiptoed out, afraid to make a sound. Everybody carefully watched the surroundings, making sure no one was near. However, no one was watching the ground, and as they reached the barn door, someone tripped on a wire and the floor beneath them gave way. The animals screamed as they fell and landed with a thump on the ground. Suddenly, the lights turned on opened, revealing a huge, white room with a door on the other side.

“Welcome to my Trial Chambers!” Farmer Brown’s voice boomed throughout the room. “In each of these chambers, there is a puzzle you must solve to move on. Good luck staying alive!”

As the farmer finished speaking, a strange box dropped from the ceiling and landed on the ground. Chicky opened it and found a metal cube that read: ‘Split me in two’.

“What do we do?” someone asked.

“We smash it in half!” said Bessy the bull while flexing his humongous muscles. He wound up his arm and threw a powerful haymaker at the cube, but it didn’t even make a dent. Bessy ended up on the ground with a broken hoof.

Just then, Chicky noticed something he hadn’t seen before – a hidden button! It was perfectly camouflaged with the cube. Chicky pressed it, and the cube opened to reveal a key. He took the key to the door, and it clicked open.

Everyone poured into the next chamber, a maze with no light sources of any kind. The light from the previous room illuminated the floor, and Chicky was able to spot multiple holes in the ground with spikes inside them. He instructed everyone to carefully tread through the maze. The animals formed a single-file line and cautiously tiptoed to the next chamber.

The following chamber held a humongous pit with lava at the bottom. The only way to the other side was a row of tiles floating ominously above the pit. However, there were two different sets of tiles, which puzzled the animals for a second. Bessy was the most daring of the animals, so he jumped onto a platform. But just as he landed, the platform started to shake and Bessy jumped off right before it sank into the lava. Chicky realized that this was like that glass-bridge game from a game show that Farmer Brown kept watching on TV. The rules were simple – one tile was safe and the other would collapse when touched, sending the unfortunate animal to their doom. Shortly after, Chicky came up with a plan. The animals formed a very long human rope, with Chicky at the front. When he landed on a false tile, the animals would pull him back. If he landed on the correct tile, everyone would follow and they would start all over again for the next set of tiles. Eventually, the animals were able to get to the other side without losing anyone.

The next chamber had a bunch of obstacles floating above a lava floor. The animals immediately recognized this – it was parkour! However, some of the animals, like the pigs, were too big to jump from obstacle to obstacle. In the end, the ducks carried everyone to the other end. Shortly after, Bessy busted down the door and everyone went into the next chamber.

However, what they saw in the room sent a chill to their spines. Inside, there was Farmer Brown – sitting in a mech! It was at least fifty feet tall, with a humanlike body made of metal and a glass dome at the top with the farmer inside it.

“Hello, my pets!” boomed Farmer Brown. “It seems that you have made it past my traps. But you’re not gonna beat me!”

“What do we do?” asked Bessy, who was usually bold, but now was trembling.

“We fight him!” replied Chicky.

Upon hearing this, the animals charged in and started chewing the mech. However, it was made of steel, and the farmer had a few tricks up his sleeve. He pressed a button on its control panel, and spikes shot out of its body, preventing anyone from damaging it further. Then, Farmer Brown used his mech’s arms to scoop up a few animals and stuff them into cages.

“How can we fight him now?” panicked Bessy as they ran away from the mech.

“Fight fire with fire!” answered Chicky. “Everyone, pile on top of each other!”

When they heard this command, the animals started piling on top of each other, creating a huge mech made out of numerous animals. Chicky sat atop it, shouting commands to the animals below. Soon, the mech started walking towards Farmer Brown. They put up a good fight, but the farmer’s mech was just too strong, and the animals collapsed in a huge heap.

By then, everyone was losing morale, and some animals were even giving up.

However, Chicky rose up and said, “Everyone, I know that you all are feeling defeated, but we don’t want that. If you all give up now, you’ll be sold to the butcher! We can’t let that happen!”

As he finished, everyone erupted into loud cheering. With their newfound morale, they charged towards Farmer Brown, who now found it hard to catch the animals since they were so fast.

Shortly after, Bessy managed to punch through the steel covering and crawl inside the mech. He walked up the various components twisted together in complex shapes until he saw a glowing core, which he thought was the power source. Bessy threw a powerful punch at it, so powerful that it shattered the core and ripped through the steel coverings behind it, causing the mech to crash down with a thunderous bang!

The animals cheered as they burst out of the chamber and into the open wilderness. They had done it – they were finally free! That night, they celebrated under the stars, laughing and telling stories. But next morning, a new problem arose.

“Where will we go now?” asked Bessy.

The animals huddled together, debating their future. After a long discussion, they made a decision – to build a new home. And so, the great city of Chickytown was born. And to this day, the city still stands with the sole purpose of assisting animals fleeing from unjust farms.
