Rio: Fear & Feathers in Las Vegas
Chapter 4: Escape
"Someone's about to get killed!" A voice yelled from behind the cockatoo as Nigel suddenly felt the whole force of a small bird smash into his head and knocked him to floor of the van.
The prisoner birds looked up to see who it was, and they all cried, "Pedro?"
"Yeah, man!" cried Pedro. "Whoo-man, I've been wanting to do that for a LONG time!"
"Great job," said Jewel. "Now, before he gets up, you... what the?"
For some reason, Pedro (who was a little too pleased with himself) began to sing to himself.
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever We've got jungle fever, we're in love She's gone black-boy crazy, I've gone white-girl hazy Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever We've got jungle fever, we're in love I've gone white-girl crazy, she's gone black-boy hazy We're each other's baby, we're in love!
"PEDRO!" yelled Robyn, Jez, and Jewel. "We're still in the cages!"
...
Nigel rose to his feet swiftly, and then spun around to face the two red-crested cardinals from the Amazon, as well as a pigeon quickly working to break the other birds out. Nigel growled angrily and quickly blasted towards the pigeon, who was swiftly working to break the lock on the cage containing Arthur and Jez.
"I'm almost done here, Artie!" Bobby stuttered quickly, fiddling with the lock until he suddenly was smashed head first into one of the bars, a ear-piercing crack echoing into Bobby's ears. The pigeon wasn't able to blink before he was suddenly spun around to face Nigel, who currently looked like he was ready to rip the pigeon in two.
"Uh oh...Hi man! You ain't ganna eat me, are ya?" Bobby said with a nervous laugh as the cockatoo suddenly sported as sly smile.
"No, I don't care too much for Brooklyn poop machines..." Nigel said, ready to extend out of his claw to slash through Bobby, when the pigeon suddenly growled angrily, and surprisingly smashed Nigel's head witha nearby crowbar, sending the cockatoo flying across the van.
"Don't you EVER call me a poop machine!" Bobby yelled angrily. Bobby quickly turned back to the cage and began to fiddle quickly with the lock.
"Bob-O...How did you do that?" Arthu asked, the Spix's face marked with disbelief, as well as everyone else. Bobby shrugged with a confused expression, and continued to try and undo the lock.
...
"Oh, sorry," said Pedro, and he flew over to Blu's cage. "Okay, man, now it's my time to bust this... buddy?"
"What's wro... oh, no!" gasped Robyn, who (along with Pedro) had a shocked face after seeing the injured Macaw.
Unfortunately, Pedro gulped, feeling cold and weird, and he said, "Uh... is he behind me?"
"Yep," said Nigel, and he laughed maniacally as he grabbed the two cardinal birds, smacking them around until he ended up putting them in the cage with Blu and Jewel.
As for Bobby, the little bird was hiding underneath a blanket, and watched as Arthur cried, "Why do you do things like this, you maniac?"
"Because, my tasty entree," replied Nigel. "I have a belief..."
"Oh, yeah, what's that?" said Blu. "That you hope not to be on that rack in El Pollo Loco?"
Arthur laughed, and said, "Nice one, amigo... wait, what is that?"
Nigel rolled his eyes, and said, "I believe that whatever doesn't kill you, Brazillian birds... it simply makes you stronger. And, I enjoy having power!...Now, where's that little pigeon who just aggrevated me..."
"Bobby, run!" Both Jez and Arthur yelled out, the pigeon suddenly making a fast break for it out from under his blanket hiding-place as soon as his eyes met the cockatoo's from across the van. Bobby quickly flew through the small crack of space of the van's backdoor, and Bobby finally shut the door to the van, to which a loud thud from behind the door followed.
"...I gotta get help...I gotta go get Rafie and Nico!" Bobby finally said after a few seconds of deep-breathing. Bobby suddenly realized he had no idea where the guys were going in the first place. The pigeon carefully peaked his head around the side of the van to see if the guys in the van had noticed the commotion, and then thought for a moment on what he was going to do.
"Wait a minute...They were talkin' about Cher...The only place a washed-up star like that could sing is..."
"...Las Vegas!"
Bobby quickly flew above the now-moving van and began to fly off in search of a way back to Rio de Janeiro to find the only people he knew that could help him...But Bobby decided to leave a little present for the guys driving...
...
"So, you going to buy the tickets?" Larry asked as he slowly drove along, the only thing he was focusing on was the money they were about to earn when they got back to Vegas.
"Yeah, I guess so...Awh man!" Gordon whined, suddenly seeing a splat corres the window-shield. As it turned out, some bird has just left a nice, white poop right on the windowshield.
"C'mon! I just got this thing washed!"
...
"Hey, I guess I am a poop machine! Haha!"
