Finally, I decided to continue Super Rio Y along with starting a new Angry Birds story, which is why I'm so late for this new chapter. Enjoy :)

After taking his new eagle friend back to his home, Blu made sure that Dominic was well-installed and gave him some cookies along with hot chocolate to keep him warm - even though he insisted that everything was fine. When Linda came back, she was very surprised to see a golden eagle in her house, but Blu quickly explained her everything with a paper and a pencil. She understood and nicely patted Dominic before leaving Blu with his new friend.

"That's a nice owner you got there, fella," Dominic remarked before taking a sip of his hot chocolate cup.

"Honestly, she's more like a mother to me," Blu replied with a smile.

"That's nice," he replied with eating another cookie. "But where's your biological family? I'm curious."

Blu rubbed the back of his head with his wing. "I never actually met them."

"So you got sold here then? Macaws aren't really a common species in the United States that I know."

"Not exactly; Linda found me in a box that fell from a truck on the side of the road when I was just a chick. It's then that she decided to adopt me and took care of me ever since."

"I'm glad to hear that," Dominic said with a smile.

"Thanks. What about you? I mean, what were you doing before ending here, in Moose Lake? You told me you're from Russia?"

"Yup," the eagle nodded. "I was born in Moscow and grew up with my father. I never learned about my mother after I was born. He taught me hunting, surviving and all that kind of stuff - he even made me drink alcohol at only 5."

"Seriously?!" Blu asked in shock. "Why would he do that?"

"My father was a dumb man," Dominic answered and laughed. "Once I became a teenager, I started learning the way of the sword as I found it cooler than fighting with knives and guns. I entered this academy where they taught the Bushido way. After ten years of training there, I decided to leave Russia and explore the world to become stronger on my own. I took a random plane which brought me here. Ever since, I've been wandering to where the wind leads me, overcoming any challenge in my way."

Blu looked at the eagle, dumbfounded. "That sounds like a crazy action movie scenario. If you're so strong, how could you get taken down by Alice and Chloe's group?"

"The gooses? They attacked me while I was peeing in a corner," Dominic answered with an annoyed glare.

"Oh, okay," Blu said, a bit uneasy. "But, back to those Magic Fruits you talked about, I'd like to know more about them."

"I already told you everything I know about them: they give you powers, they are very rare, and people would be ready to pay really high to get hands on them," he replied before taking a bite of another cookie.

"But is there any way to cancel its effect?" he asked as he stretched his wing again. "It's just that I never planned to become a plastic bird, y'know."

"Sorry, fella, I don't think there's any way to cancel the effects of a Magic Fruit can be canceled: once you ate it, you're caught with it." He then finished drinking his hot chocolate cup before giving a serious look. "Now tell me, is there any strong and bad people in your town?"

"Whoa, whoa! Why the sudden aggressiveness? You just come back from taking a beating," Blu protested with his wings lifted.

"I'm though. It takes more than just that to keep this eagle down," Dominic replied with a smirk. "And besides, as I told you, I want to get challenges and strong opponents to become stronger than I already am. So is there anyone strong in here we could go take on?"

Blu tapped his feather on his chin as he thought. "Sorry, but I'm afraid Alice and Chloe's gang are the strongest there is in here. And besides, they're not that strong; it's their number that makes the difference."

A big smirk formed on Dominic's beak. "Well, what do you say we go teach them a good lesson about bullying together? It would be a good occasion to test your new Magic Fruit powers."

Blu blinked a few times. True to be told, fighting has never been a good thing to him, but he always felt so angry at Alice and Chloe for treating him like nothing more than a bag of crap for all his life. Now, he had a chance at retribution with his very first friend. He didn't want to miss that. So, with a determined look, he declared: "Okay! Let's go!"

Dominic nodded and was about to head for the door before stopping dead in his track and looking around. "Someone's in here."

This caused Blu to widen his eyes and look around nervously as Dominic carefully walked toward the entry of a vent. He suddenly opened it and grabbed someone inside who he threw out on the floor. To both bird's surprise, it was a male barn owl with white and dark brown feathers, a heart-shaped head and yellow eyes. He was wearing a light green cap on top of his head along with a backpack of the same color on his wing.

"Ouch!" He groaned and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Dominic who pointed the tip of his saber toward his face. "Please! Don't hurt me! I'm just a poor guy!" He pleaded for his life.

"What were you doing in this vent?" Dominic sternly asked. "Were you spying us?!"

"N-No, sir!" the owl answered with his wings in the air for emphasis. "I-I just saw you two at the park and found it weird that a blue macaw and a golden eagle meet together like this and head to a library. This is very uncommon in Moose Lake. I'm a very curious person and I followed you to know what you were doing, but I didn't hear anything! I swear!"

While Blu found this story interesting, he was most surprised to see a barn owl in Moose Lake. A golden eagle was uncommon, but owls were too. "Where do you come from? I've never seen any owls like you in Moose Lake."

"I-I always lived here, mister!" he quickly replied. "My name is Apollo Bird and I grew up in this town, I can guarantee you that!"

Dominic simply rolled his eyes and agreed with Blu through a small gaze exchanged that the owl wasn't lying. He regained his sword but kept his stern glare. "You should avoid spying people like this, Apollo; you're gonna look suspicious."

Blu went to help the owl back up. "Nice to meet you, Apollo. I'm Tyler Blu Gunderson - call me Blu - and this is Dominic. You really didn't hear anything we said?"

"Well, I actually lied about this part," Apollo admitted. "I heard you were going to fight a gang of bad gooses." He then lifted his wings curled like fists. "I wanna come with you; I can fight too!"

Dominic simply gave a scoff. "Blu ate a Magic Fruit and is now a bird of plastic, and I'm a master of Bushido and a true beast in battle; what do you have that could be useful in a fight?"

Apollo gave a smirk and reached into his backpack to take out a small slingshot that he tied to the back side of his right wing so that he could aim with it. "This slingshot is an invention of mine and a deadly weapon. Especially with these," he said with reaching into the side pocket of his backpack and taking out small red bills.

"What are these?" Blu asked curiously as he pointed at them.

"Those are pepper bills. One shot in the face and your eyes, nostrils, and beak will feel on fire," he said with a smirk as he adjusted his cap for emphasis. Blu was impressed at the owl's smartness.

Dominic sighed. "If you're really ready to fight and not afraid to take a beatdown, then come."

With that being said, the macaw, eagle, and owl headed out of the library toward the gooses' place...
