Hey guys, I have been seeing a lot of arena/ battle royale style fanfictions for Rio so I decided to do one.
I will upload whenever I finish a fight but for now enjoy.
If you want an OC featured, tell me in the reviews.
No powers, just type of bird, personality and style of fighting. (Brawling, kung fu, killing his opponents etc).
Anyways enjoy.
The fight today was to be televised, to all the birds in Brazil, whether in a bar or at home watching it, every bird was watching the fight.
Today was the first day of the fighting competition known as The Battle of the Strong.
Outside the Amazon Arena, the venue for the competition, Blu was walking with his friends, about to enter.
The fighters entrance was flooded with reporters and fans, wanting to see their favorite combatants.
Blu saw Jewel near the entrance and ran to her, taking her in his wings.
The 2 shared a quick kiss before Blu let go of his mate.
"Win this fight for me" she asked, a smile covering her beak.
Blu returned the smile, "I intend to".
Suddenly about 15 birds crowded Blu and Jewel, mostly reporters.
They began to bombard him with questions or take photos.
"Blu, what do you think your chances are for this tournament?" asked a lear's macaw reporter.
Blu gave her an answer, "These guys are serious fighters, strong and fast. But my life as a pet may give me an intellectual advantage here".
Blu then walked into the entrance, Nico, Pedro, Rafael and Jewel following him, where security stopped the reporters.
Jewel kissed Blu on the cheek before flying to her seat.
Blu and his friends now walked to one of the entrances to the covered main area.
He stayed in the doorway until he was told to go to the ring.
The 2 commentators in the booth began talking into the microphones, "Welcome to the first match of the Battle of the Strong. Today we will be seeing raw strength take on superior intellect" declared the capybara, John.
The porcupine named Phil began to talk, "that's right John. Today we will see Blu Gunderson take on Escobar. The ultimate match between brains and brawns".
John nodded, "who do you think will win Phil?".
"Well that, my friend, is a toss up".
"We asked some fans today who they wanted to win, here were their responses".
On the jumbotron in the center of the arena videos of various birds answering the question.
Most of the birds wanted Blu to win, which boosted our cerulean friend's morale.
The Amazon Arena looked like the pit of doom, but the whole field part of it was a stone platform, not water.
A roseate spoonbill known as the referee walked to the center of the arena with a microphone.
The spoonbill turned to the audience and, with a microphone, began the introductions.
On my left side, from the Military macaw tribe standing at over 1 foot 2 inches tall I give you, "ESCOBAR!".
The crowd went wild as Radioactive's chorus blared over the loudspeakers and Escobar waved to the audience and showed his muscles as he walked to the center of the arena, several cameramen following him.
"And on my right side, the bird who beat the loggers, known as the flying computer, BLU!".
The whole spix macaw tribe cheered as Blu just waved to the crowd with Warriors playing in the background.
Tiago, Carla and Bia all waved flags and raised posters of their dad.
The music died down and so did the crowd.
Escobar was a tiny bit bigger than Blu and much stronger, but Blu had the advantage of speed, agility and his superior intellect.
Blu looked to his family, who sat in the front row due to having a family member in the competition.
Jewel gave a hopeful smile to her mate while mouthing the words, 'you can do this'.
Blu smiled and returned his attention to Escobar, a Roseate Spoonbill walked between the 2 combatants, "let's lay down the rules. All forms of attack are legal, but no further punishment is to come to a bird once knocked out or counted out. Understand?".
The 2 macaws nodded and walked to separate corners of the ring, on Blu's side he had Rafael, Nico and Pedro as his assistants and waterboys.
The military macaw had several of his kind as his assistants.
The referee now rung the bell, signaling the start of the round.
The 2 macaws put their wings up and slowly inched towards each other.
Once within striking distance Escobar sent the first punch, straight to Blu's face.
Blu blocked the strike before returning the favor with a kick beneath Escobar's legs.
The kick knocked Escobar onto his back, he quickly jumped back up to his feet.
Escobar now sent a mess of punches and kicks to Blu, who managed to block the strong kicks and took the weak ones.
"Ah, here is where Blu excels John!" said Phil.
"You mean getting his butt kicked?" asked John.
"No, he is learning his opponent and finding weaknesses".
"Oh damn, the sinister strategist is in his element!".
Almost on cue Blu noticed a weakness, whenever Enrico ent for a left punch there would be a momentary delay.
On the next left punch Blu dodged under his arm and around to Enrico's back where he sent a spinning kick straight to the military macaws face, knocking down the green macaw.
Enrico hit the ground before instantly getting back up, and back into his stance.
Blu grinned, "I found the chink in your armor".
Blu now bolted to Escobar, who didn't have enough time to dodge the charge as he felt the wind get knocked out of him.
Escobar hit the ground again, a cloud of dust being knocked into the air.
Escobar got back up again and sent a flurry of punches to Blu, who managed to dodge most of them.
A few bruises appeared on the spix's body before he retaliated, with a kick to the chest and a punch to Enrico's face, knocking out the military macaw.
Enrico fell to the ground, eyes closed.
The moment he hit the ground the crowd went wild for Blu, who just waved.
He looked to Jewel and his kids who cheered the loudest.
Jewel wore a smile, going from cheek to cheek.
The referee walked into the ring and, after grabbing Blu's arm, raised in into the air, "we have a winner!".
Blu smiled at the victory and helped the now awake Escobar to his feet, "How did you do that?" asked the military macaw, perplexed by the spix's fighting style.
"What can I say? 15 years of watching boxing on TV teaches you a lot".
Escobar nodded at the answer, impressed with the spix's answer.
Rafael walked up to Blu, with Nico and Pedro treating his wounds, "c'mon Blu, there are some fans who want to meet you".
Blu nodded and followed his friend out of the arena and into the hallways of the arena.
A mob of fangirls and fanboys charged Blu.
Taking photos and asking for autographs.
Blu obliged and tried to do his best to pose and sign autographs.
The flashes of cameras flooded his retinas as he continued down the halls, with his fans following.
Security soon came and managed to make a path for Blu to pass through, Blu walked to the stands to watch the next fight with his family.
The next fight was between a hyacinth macaw known as Jose and a hawk known as Marco.
"Representing the Hyacinth macaws of Sao Paolo, JOSE!", Rise Up by All Good Things began playing as the hge hyacinth walked into the arena,flexing his muscles as he flew.
"And representing the hawks of Andes, "MARCO!", Rise Up began to play again as a huge, scarred black hawk flew into the arena.
He was bigger then Jose and would certainly tower over Blu.
The 2 big birds walked into the ring, glaring daggers at each other.
A bell rung and the fight began, Jose sent a punch straight to Marco, who takes the strike and shrugs.
Before grabbing Jose's head and slamming it into the ground.
He repeated this almost 30 times as the crowd cringed.
Marco then throws Jose across the ring and into the wall, where the hyacinth goes limp.
The referee runs to Jose, who has a weak pulse but is still alive.
"The winner, by knockout, MARCO!".
Some in the crowd cheer, while others still look at the unmoving Hyacinth.
Marco looked to the stands and saw Blu.
He quickly flew over to the spix macaw, the cameras following the hawk.
Marco stood in front of Blu, staring at the spix, "so you're Blu. I thought you'd be bigger. Maybe I'll only need one talon to crack your neck. Well see you later".
Blu hid his fear until Marco left, he settled down into his seat, "I'm so boned".
Tell me what you think with a review, thank you for reading.
This will not be constant, just whenever I finish a fight.
