Unleashing the monster within.


Blu panicked as he saw Dr Pablino push through the double doors, carrying a heavy metal tray that was full of needles. Blu felt his heart race inside his chest and he actually realised that he was sweating. For some reason, the adult blue macaw always had a phobia for needles. As a matter of fact, he actually went into a three-day-coma after seeing one to have his monthly shots once.

The squinty-eyed doctor picked up a single siringe that contained a dark blue fluid that was as dark blue as the night sky. Blu's eyes dilated at the sight of the needle on the end of that intimidating siringe and it was then he began to once again flap around with all his might, trying his hardest to escape. He could now hear his heart pounding inside his eardrums and it was a sound that made him all the more persistent on escaping.

"This will only hurt a lot." Cackled Dr Pablino wickedly as he then plunged the needle into the male Blue macaw's neck, causing him to squawk loudly in agony and discomfort. As soon as the needle was removed from Blu's fluffy feathered neck, he felt strange. His head was turning inside out like a washing machine. His gut was zig zagging inside his delicate stomach. He could see through the fading vision that his azure feathers were turning into the same regal dark blue color as the liquid in that vile.

After a second's glimpse of the feather color change, Blu's visioned faded to black and he fell into a bliss unconsciousness that was welcomed with open wings. After what seemed like 10 seconds of that precious rest, Blu's eyes finally opened but he had noticed many changes as he shut his eyes quick so his vision could adjust to the bright lighting in the room. The first thing he noticed was that he felt that his whole mouth was sluggish and the fact that he felt this sharp things sliding smoothly at each side of his beak every time he opened and closed it.

The second thing he noticed was that instead of straight vision, everything was dark other than the fact that there was a diamond shape in the middle that actually provided him his sight, possibly meaning that he could no longer see in the sunlight.

The third thing he noticed was that, just like before he fell asleep, Blu's azure feathers turned into a royal blue color that actually made him look monstrous and he also seemed to have gained a little in hight.

The fourth thing he noticed was that the primary feathers on his wings were out of place and some of his feathers were behind his actual wings, meaning he could no longer fly but the best they could do was allow him one flight and maybe a few glides. His tail feathers also had some actual spikes on the sides like a Stegosaurus had.

The fifth and final thing Blu noticed was that his talons actually looked more like raptor claws. They even had sickle claws at the back of each talon!

Blu gasped as he looked down at his beak to discover that the sliding against his beak was actually his new fangs. Then he noticed that instead of his normal sphere-like irises were now a slitted diamond shape, explaining the bad vision.

"Wha-What!? What happened to me!?" Blu exclaimed but found that his voice had also changed from his normal high pitched, nerdy one into a lowly smooth one.

Quickly, the transformed blue macaw turned his head to find a mirror that (like everything else in the testing room) was covered in dirt and could barely see his reflection but he did and what he saw made him scream in terror "CHEESE 'N SPRINKLES! WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?"

Blu's voice softened as he looked down sadly at his chest, allowing this harsh reality to sink in "...I'm...I'm hideous."

Blu suddenly heard a very familiar voice say "Oh, he's awake!"

Blu's bottom eye lid twitched at the man's voice and he gritted his new fangs angrily. He felt his entire body tense in rage as he refused to look at him, in order to maintain his control.

"I see you now look a lot more like one of my creations." Blu felt his anger increase each second but closed his eyes and tried his best to ignore that snug man.

"Let's see what else I, Dr Pabloni, have improved." Grinned the mad Doctor. The mutated blue macaw adult ignored the baby-faced man lifting his wings, forcing open his beak and other strange examinations.

Blu growled whenever the short doctor tried to tickle his neck and even pushed the offending finger away with an annoyed grunt. "Oh. Agitated, are we?" Dr Pablino asked mockingly as he folded his arms with a menacing grin.

Blu couldn't take it anymore and tried to worm out of the duct tape holding him down on the table with a series of growls and grunts. The short man sniggered in amusement "Oh, ho, ho. You can't you dumb parrot."

Blu's chocolate browns eyes enlarged when Dr Pablino got annoyed with Tamos' constant whimpering and tore him off the table painfully, making the young macaw chick's whimpering evolve into small cries as he yelled "SHUT UP!". A fire ignited in Blu's already angered eyes as both his over-protective parental and animalish instincts kicked in and he finally broke loose and attacked the doctor.

Blu scratched Dr Pablino in the face with his huge talons and even whacked him with his spiked tail when he got the chance. When Blu held Tamos in his wings and tried to soothe him, he snarled at the doctor who done this to him and silently threatened to kill if he didn't comply with his wishes.

The Doctor, afraid for his life, fled the room in a panic while Blu used his newly developed talons to jump and he jumped so high that he was at the foot of Tilias' cage immediately and when he used his former pet skills to unlock the cage door, Tilias practically snatched her baby brother out of Blu's wings and she thanked him "Thank you, Mr Blu."

Blu gave the tiniest toothy smile before he gestured for Tilias to fly away "Lets go!"

"Wait!" Tilias exclaimed fearfully with her green eyes quite glassy now. Blu stooped and looked back towards her and this reminded him of a certain event. This reminded him all too well of Blu's first kiss with Jewel and when he jumped out of the plane to rescue her.

Blu decided to copy Jewel and knelt down to her eye level as he placed a weak feathered wing on the young Adsolent's shoulder blade "Its ok. Hey, it's okay." He soothed softly "We'll figure this out together...Right?"

As Tilias was about to answer, they both turned their heads to find that Dr Pablino had slammed open the doors and he held a tranquilliser gun. "We gotta get outta here!" Blu exclaimed but then Tilias pointed out worriedly "But Dr Pablino clipped all of our wings!"

Blu's eyes widened at this. How can everyone escape if they couldn't fly? The only thing different about Tilias was that her wings were much larger then most birds but her wings were indeed clipped. Actually, Blu found that everyone (old and young) were clipped and their ability to fly was canceled. Blu had an idea but it was a one in a million shot.

Blu looked to Tilias and ordered her "Hop on my back!" Tilias reluctantly done as ordered and Blu swooped up finely as he landed on the foolishly open windowsill and Tilias desperately jumped out with Tamos in her large wings. Blu quickly flew to Dr Pabloni and whacked him square in the face with his tougher tail feathers and he was quickly knocked out.

One by one, Blu flew the elderly, adults and the chicks to the window where they all jumped out but all of them were saved by a pile of boxes below where they all awaited Blu's command. The adult blue macaw was just helping the last of the mutated birds out but Dr Pablino came to and attempted to shot the last birds and kill them since he couldn't afford to get discovered and besides he could always make more freaks.

"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Blu yelled loudly as he dived into Dr Pabloni's face and knocked the both of them to the ground, making them both sore as they sorely landed on the cold tile floor. Blu put a wing to his tender head before he attempted to fly again but he saw that more of his feathers were gone and he could no longer fly. Blu saw some cages piled up on the floor by the window to make a stairway and grinned slyly 'I'm a dumb parrot, eh?' He thought.

Blu saw the two last remaining birds (two birds with dragonfly wings and fox tails) he was just saving on the floor with him and helped them both stand up before he told them with deepest urgency lining his bulky voice "Climb the cages like stairs quickly before you jump out the window! It's our only chance!"

Immediately, Blu took the couple by the wings and assisted them both up the cage one by one and when all three of them were by the window and getting ready to jump, Dr Pabloni once again awoke and attempted one last time to stop them from escaping but Blu exposed his right side to prevent the bullet from harming the other two and got shot in the wing in the process.

Blu squawked in agony as he felt the bullet's sharp metal cut into his wing and he tucked it up before he leapt out of the window where he landed on the pile of boxes in the alleyway. The birds looked up towards the window where they heard Dr Pablino's voice shriek "YOU WILL ALL BE MINE AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME!?"

Blu shook off his sudden nausea and pointed his good wing in the direction to the jungles, panting as he spoke "Guys, go towards the jungles where you'll each find a bird mate. Tell them that Blu sent you; they'll know what you're talking about."

Tilias spoke up from the crowd "What about you?"

Blu took a quick glance over his shoulder at the sound of the doctor's heavy footsteps hurrying right for them before he told the other birds "Just go, I'll lead him away from you guys!"

Without another word said, everyone hurried towards the jungles where they were all sure that Blu would join them shortly but orphans: Tilias and Tamos, were both unsure if they would meet their rescuer again since their mother had died mere days ago.

Blu panted as he constantly fought off the exhaustion he felt due to his bleeding wing, running as fast as his talons could carry him. The skies were dark and the rain was pouring down on him, making every part of his feathered body numb. Blu knew he had to keep going and allude Dr Pablino as quick as he could so he could sleep his transformation off.

Blu suddenly found a small abandoned mouse hole and took one inhale of its scent. He cringed when the smell of old wood and dust hit his nostrils but after hearing the Dr's incoming footsteps, he practically dived into the small hole where his whole body was just barely able to fit via worming inside.

As he tucked himself into the corner of the hole, Blu felt his entire neck drop as his eyes felt heavy. His heart rate was very, very slow and his bad vision was fading fast as he saw Dr Pablino's blurring fat hand just try and squeeze through the hole. Blu passed out before he could discover what had happened, though.


A/N: Thats the end of this chapter, guys. What do you think will happen next? Will Blu ever be the same? Did he escape Doctor Pablino?
