So, while Nightfy123 is writing Super Rio X, I decided to go on and write Super Rio Y, starting with this story. I hope you'll all enjoy it ;)
Special thanks to YootisPoshil who allowed me to use his Ordeal of the Mighty to kick off the Y timeline.
"What?!" Jewel exclaimed in surprise.
"You heard me correctly." Her father, Eduardo confirmed.
The leader of the spix macaw tribe just announced his daughter that the representer of the tribe for the Ordeal of the Mighty will be none other than her mate Blu.
Let me explain: the Odreal of the Mighty is a fighting tournament held every month. Its purpose is mainly to bring entertainement to the kinda dull life of the Amazon and help young birds that wish to ascend and earn the title of being a real fighter of the wild. Because of the tournament's nature of bestowing rewards of fame, bragging rights, or simply an excuse to fight each other, it encouraged many young fighters to represent their tribe in hopes of showing that they are deemed worthy.
And the representant for the spix tribe was none other than our favourite spix macaw, Blu. The reason was that, even though he now got adjusted to the wild life style of the Amazon, many of his fellow macaws though that he wasn't a real wild bird, even though their leader was trying to convince them otherwise. So, Blu decided to train for long and mastered the Capoeira fighting style in hopes of participating in the tournament and prove he's a worthy macaw. Luckily for him that Roberto got sick recently and wouldn't be able to fight.
"Yup, I'm gonna represent the tribe in the Ordeal, this month." Blu happily said with re-adjusting his Brazilian flag-themed sport jacket that matched well with his green shorts. It was his trademark outfit.
"But Blu! You can't do that!" Jewel protested. "You aren't built to fight against brutes like the ones in this tournament!"
"I know, but I don't need to: I have quickness and the fighting spirit that all the underdogs need to win!" Blu beamed with confidence.
"Hum, okay, but are you sure you wanna participate in this? I mean you could get hurt or worse." Jewel worried for her mate.
"I know, but that's a risk I've gotta take, if I want to prove to the tribe that I'm a worthy wild bird."
"Blu, you don't need to prove anything." Jewel assured, nuzzling against her mate. "You're perfectly fine as who you are."
"Easy to say for you, but for me, it's really hard to live as an underrated bird who everyone thinks is not worth of being the leader's son-in-law or even to be called a true bird. I want to do it for myself, but also for you and the kids. Beside, I already submitted my participation and I'm gonna fight my first opponent tomorrow."
Jewel knew she couldn't make him change his mind as he was too determined for it.
"Okay, but just promise me you'll be careful, alright, lovebird?"
"Don't worry: I'll win before my opponents'll have the chance to realize what will hit them!"
Once again, special thanks to YootisPoshil for allowing me to use the Ordeal of the Mighty. BTW, if you don't know what Capoiera is, it's an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatic and music.
