Amazon Untamed!
Chapter 1: Happy New Year

Here is the long awaited sequel to A Whole New World, my apologies for taking so long to get it out but I honestly was contemplating giving up on Fanfiction, but instead I've decided that I'm going to be stepping away from the Spyro stories for some time.

That's not to say I'm not going to be writing some in my own time, that'll be something I definitely do, just don't expect to see one on Fanfiction for some time. Anyway, let's get on with the story.

And I'm going to outline this once and only once, THIS IS A OCxJEWEL AND OCxBLU STORY, IF YOU DONT NOT LIKE THEN SIMPLY GO BACK!

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to Rio!"

Rio de Janerio, the home of Carnival, where the New Year's festival itself was in full swing once again on the same day at the another grand year, getting ready to launch into yet another. Most of, if not all of, the city was gathered on the beaches of Rio as they danced and sang.

Having a splendid time.

Flowers were floated upon the water, small kayaks holding small offerings were also floated on the water. It was the same thing as every year, here and elsewhere.

High up in the city centre, near the statue, known as Christ the Redeemer, that dominates most of Rio, was birds gathered and, much like the humans, were having grand time. Dancing and singing as well, two birds sing above most of the rest.

What good is love
If it's not your love
What good is love
If it's not your love

A yellow canary with a bottle cap on his head and a red-crested cardinal were the ones leading the song as the others sang along. These song leaders were Nico and Pedro, two real close friends, as close as you possibly can get.

Nico nodded as his friend as they slid down a ledge, Pedro immediately breaking into a rap, tearing completely away from the generic music.

This is a crazy party
I'm so glad I'm here with everybody
Baby move your body,
Shake it to the ground
B-b-b-break it down, Blu

Pedro pointed a feathered wing at one of the four blue Spix macaws present, the one looking up at his name, completely confused at was going on.

"Me?"

A small chuckle resonated from behind him as one of the other three blue macaws leaned in towards his ear, whispering loud enough for him to hear.

"Better you than me bro."

This blue Spix macaw was known as Shadow. No-one knew his true name as this was a name given to him when he was in captivity many years ago, so he has just gone with it and everyone accepts it.

Blu looked around, his eyes glancing over Sapphire, yet another of the blue macaws but a female one and his mate, as he looked around before singing, although it came out more as a question.

"What's a song, If you can't hear it too?"

Pedro cawed as Blu hit the nail on the head with words. Sapphire started twirling around Blu as everyone got dancing again, even as dreary Shadow could be, he was as well, with his mate, Jewel.

Can't imagine dancing without you
A shooting star, ain't really nothing to see
If you ain't right here standing next to me

Sapphire, Jewel and Shadow all sang a line each as both couples twirled about with their partners and on occasion, the girls swapping place, giving both guys a chance to dance with both of them.

Cheers filled the sky as the birds joined in with the four birds, all twirling about, everybody moving about to dance with someone new expect the four blue macaws as they stayed together in their small group.

Yet being the bird with two left feet, Blu managed to trip himself up causing him stumble forward with Jewel, somehow managing to spin about with Shadow, who saw this and improvised, as they swapped partners yet again.

Blu with Sapphire and Shadow with Jewel.

"You know, for bird who was raised by humans and has two left feet, you can still dance pretty well, Blu." Shadow remarked.

Blu glanced over at his brother briefly, but long enough to see the smirk that was lingering across his beak. He knew Shadow was messing with him but still responded.

"Oh that? That wasn't a move but I accept the compliment nonetheless."

Sapphire giggled at his remarked while the other pair simply laughed also at his remark as Sapphire spoke up.

"It was great that Rafael was able to watch the kids."

"All four of them." Jewel added.

Both mated macaws had two children of their own, both having a male and female Spix macaw each. Rosaletta, or Rosa as she preferred, and Phoenix were Shadow's and Jewel's children while Tiago and Bia were Blu's and Sapphire's children.

The latter two seemed to be leaning in closer and whispering things to each other, causing Sapphire to giggle from time to time. Shadow took this time to spend a little alone time, more or less, with his mate.

"Looks like those two are in their own world." Shadow began. "Leaving you with me."

Jewel smiled largely at Shadow as she leaned in and kissed him lovingly, withdrawing back afterwards to gaze into his eyes.

"I wouldn't want it any other way as you're my one and only."

Shadow smiled in return. "I would hope so."

The two leaned to kiss again but didn't get too far before a voice called out to them, drawing their attention as well as Blu's and Sapphire's. All four looked to see that it was Rafael that called out to them.

All four birds glanced at each other worriedly knowing that they would have had to done something with their kids to have been able to come. Shadow took a few steps forward, grabbing Rafael's attention.

"Rafael, where are the-"

"Kids?" The toucan asked, cutting Shadow off. "Don't worry, Luiz is looking after them."

"Uh…worries? Right here." Blu said, pointing at himself.

No sooner had he finished his sentence, the aforementioned bulldog came dancing onto the scene, happily singing, or humming really, to himself, not really listening much to what was going on around him.

"Luiz? Where are the kids?"

Luiz looked at Sapphire, a confused looking crossing his face. "What? I don't have any kids."

Sapphire sighed and pointed at herself and the other three. "Our kids!"

"Oh, don't worry, I left them with Tiny."

"Tiny!"

"What? She's an excellent babysitter!"

All four birds looked at each other rather skeptically as they all flew in search of the kids

Meanwhile…

"I'm a horrible babysitter!" Whined Tiny as if she knew exactly what Luiz had said.

"This is going to be awesome!" Tiago said, excitement way more than obvious in his voice.

He planted another firework in the ground as he high-fived Carlos. The two male macaws had become very close friends, very quickly. Then again, it helped that they were cousins so it was to be expected.

"You bet!" Carlos replied.

One of the younger female macaws looked down at her drawing on the ground as she started speaking with what one would assume to be a high degree of knowledge.

"Ok, I've down all the calculations and all the fireworks should go off in time with beat of the music."

Both Liana and Carlos shook their heads, laughing slightly, not understanding how or why Bia was so smart. Then again, it could because her father was raised by humans and learnt most of their 'things.'

Uncertainty soon flicked across her eyes. "Unless…I didn't carry the one…"

"Who cares?" Tiago cried, snatching the match out of Bia's talons.

With a quick swipe of it on the ground, he lit it up and slowly stalked towards the fireworks, the other three kids watching with bated breath as he tried to run forward. Tried being the keyword as Sapphire swooped in and grabbed Tiago by his tail feathers, stopping him dead in his tracks.

"Ah, ah, ah. What do you think you're doing?" Asked Sapphire.

Blu grabbed the match from Tiago as all the kids sighed in disappointment at their fun being ruined. It was going to perfect!

"Hey, what is this?"

"Ugh, Dad!" Tiago groaned.

"You guys know the rules. No pyrotechnics without adult supervision."

Carlos stepped forward slighty. "But you-"

"No, but we are." Shadow said, cutting him off, knowing exactly what he was going to say.

"And he is still your Uncle." Jewel added.

Carlos and Liana both groaned seeing as their parents had come to, knowing that they couldn't get away with their usual tact. Not that it worked at all anyway.

"But we asked Tiny!" Tiago exclaimed, trying one last time.

"Tiny doesn't count." Blu explained before turning to face the tied up bird. "Sorry Tiny."

"It's ok, you don't have to pay me Senors and Senorittas."

Blu faced the kids once again. "Kids, next time ask me."

Shadow chuckled and leaned over to his brother, whispering to him for the second time that night.

"You always say that and how do they respond…"

"But you always say no." Bia complained.

Blu looked at his brother narrowed his eyes at him slightly, not liking the way he was so knowing about how they were going to respond, or accusing him of having said the same thing all the time.

"No, I don't." He said.

Tiago seemed to deadpan. "Dad. You're in denial."

At this point, Shadow and Jewel were having a hard time holding their laughter as chuckle would break past their beak occasionally. Phoenix and Rosa both noticed and hoped that they had forgotten about that they had been a part of this.

"Ok." Blu turned to Sapphire. "Hunny, do I always say no?"

"Yes." She replied instantly. "What? I…er…I mean, no."

"Now your mom is saying it to." Liana giggled.

The match that Blu had been holding finally reached his talon, burning him slightly which in turn caused him to drop it in a hurry, not realising that it landed on his tail.

"Listen, we, your cousins, your Aunt and Uncle are the last blue Spix macaws on the plant." Blu explained before quickly pulling Sapphire into a one armed hug.

"Birds of blue feathers…" He began, waiting for the kids to finish.

"Have to stick together." They finished, sighing afterwards.

Liana sniffed the air a little. "Anyone else smell chicken?"

Shadow and Jewel hid their smiles behind their wings as Blu sniffed the air before looking down at his tail in shock, shouting no, no, no over and over as he ran about trying to cool his tail off.

He actually lit the fireworks at one point.

Once he had his tail cooled, a cry of help from Tiny brought his attention to her as he ran over and pulled the rope back, allowing her to escape and somehow trapping himself in the process.

"Everybody, fly!"

Everybody flew into the air, Blu shortly following while still attached to the firework. Everyone else landed on the great statue as Blu continued flying into the air before the fireworks began exploding.

Sapphire gathered her kids close while looking up into the sky, a slight look of worry crossing her face as Blu began falling towards the statue.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He wailed before hit the statue head first, bouncing down before coming to rest a few feet from Sapphire and his kids.

"Look!" Liana exclaimed.

All around them, fireworks were going in beautiful displays of colours. Shadow moved closer to his mate, wrapping his wings around her and their kids, Blu doing the same with his family.

"Well," Blu started as he looked towards his brother. "This year is off to a great start."

Annnnnnd end it right there!
