Ostrich and the 'Roo in Bloomington, MN

Something strange is happening to Mari. She's not the same since her rescue from a mad scientist's lab. Still, her blackouts aren't reason enough to put her in a cage, yet, what else is Jax to do when confronted with a giant ostrich terrorizing suburbia?
Wait. Wait. Think of it.
Snicker. Yeah, he had a laugh, too, when he heard the news, especially since he found Mari fast asleep, head buried in a bush. Such a menace to society.
Not!
Mari knows he's wrong. This laid-back kangaroo can't see the darkness inside her. However, someone else can and wants that darkness for themselves, and they will do anything to get their paws on it.
Muahahahaha.
