Birds of a feather.


It was a calm and quiet in a shop which was filled to the brim with antiques. the sunlight peaked through the large window and shone upon an old camera and some of the polished hazel oak that marred the floor and walls. Suddenly, however, a swirly blue portal opened in a random place beside the door and a familiar yellow and blue feathered Macaw wearing a black cloak gracefully flew out of it before the portal had vanished.

The yellow bird with the odd turquoise feathers on his wings was the Trickster. Not so long after getting used to his surroundings, he had perched himself upon the crook of his master's walking stick as he quickly removed the cloak he usually wore before he bird reveal his face.

He looked sort of like Blu but instead of a thin frame, his chest was puffed out proudly and he had raidient dark blue irises that twinkled every so often in the sunlight. The Trickster also had a deformed right talon as one of his toes were gone, leaving only one toe in the middle and his heel behind.

The Trickster smirked mishcheviously as he heard the door knock loudly and he had his large wing spans out to the side as he was about to take off and within moments, that's what he did as he took off like the wind and cut through the air like a pair of razor sharp sizzors to the thinest of paper.

The Trickster then opened the door to let his owner inside and landed in his owners hand and closed his eyes as the man ran 2 fingers down his head.

Trickster's owner was a middle aged man who had dark chocolate hair and wore an Indiana kind of style of clothing and he wore kind of old boots. He had honey coloured skin that complemented the bird's yellow/blu feathers.

"Hello, Algeria." Greeted the man with the darkest of voices as he stroked the Trickster, originally known as Algeria. The Trickster gave a small squawk to greet his master as he shut his eyes and allowed his Master to pet him further. He quite liked being treated like this as it made him feel appreciated.

"Did you get the key, my friend?" Asked the man as he continued stroking him but the Trickster shook his head whilst giving the man a furious look and purred in rage. The man felt the anger coming from his bird and told him "Now, Algeria. I need you to get me that key or else my plans will be ruined."

The yellow and blue feathered Macaw nodded in understanding as an evil smirk marred his beak. He loved it when his master made him hunt for treasury and gems and he usually got some little creatures to help him with his task. This wasn't like Nigel and the marmosets, though. The creatures he needed were Armadillos. Ninja Armadillos.

The Trickster smirked eagerly as he took off out of the man's hand and landed upon a Map that sat on his desk that sat by the window and rolled it open so his master could peer in to examine the old piece of paper that had lots of strange scribbles on it and it lead to an old cave which was ticked. The Macaw knew just what he and his owner were searching for and have been looking for this artifact for years, sure they have found other bits and bobs in that time but this was the cheese to those crackers.

"Yes, yes. I know." Groaned the explorer as he limped towards the desk and took a seat in his old, dusty chair and he scanned the paper thoroughly and squinted his eyes to get a better look of it, his minty fresh breath catching in the yellow bird's nostrils and making him cringe at the smell.

"But I can't decipher this language! We need something to become a good translator at this but yet we do not have this artifact in our grasp." The man said in frustration as he reminded his pet of the current crisis but he was distracted once he heard some people laughing behind him and he began talking in Brazilian as he got up and marched over to them and to try and get them out of his shop.

Whilst he was distracted, The Trickster smiled down at the map and clutched it in his normal talon and took off out of the open door to see if his band of Armadillos could read this since this was most likely to be written in Arma-lese (The Language for Armadillos).

As the yellow and blue feathered Macaw flew, he had an idea that snapped into his evil mind as he thought about what he had done earlier to that brat, Carlos. He snickered as visions of him beating the beak off him entered his mind and he flew past some shops and people and flew off to find the nearest zoo. He just hoped that they would be able to tell him all he wanted to know.


A/N: I apologize that this chapter was short. I'm just trying to get this done and I am also trying to satisfy you guys. If you hadn't realised it by now then this is the life of the Trickster and you will see some mind games later.

Theres also something special about this twisted Macaw. Not just that he can wrap dimensions but he is also a relative to one of the main characters. Can you guess who it is?

Now, to the replys!

Assassin-s-Creed-Master: Thanks for liking my idea. I am very looking forwards to your Sonic story and for the time being you may look at mine if you want any inspiration. :)

Ricardo-the-Black-Hawk: Thanks. I hope you get that holiday you wanted. I think you are a MASTER at writing and I grovel at your feet! :D

Rapper-the-red-macaw: You will have to read and find out, I'm afraid. I'm glad you consider me a friend and I will keep updating and I hope this chapter has brought some interest to you. Thanks!

MCGamemaster90: I have read it and I loved it!

Arlene-the-Scarlet-Macaw: Yes, it does look like the Trickster is winning this fight! Lets hope he doesn't and there is something shocking about him but I won't tell you what it is yet, no matter how much I am trying not to tell you.

Rio-Judger: Thanks and I am glad you like this story, even though I must tell you that Gastroparisis and a Paralysed stomach are the same thing. Gastro means stomach and Parisis means Paralyse. You get it? Anyways, Thanks for reviewing this as I really appreciate it. :) and tell those people that I wish them well, please.

Crexis-The-Storyteller: Hi! I am looking forwards to your story and hope to see it soon. The problem is that I did get a third game from eBay but because I live in the UK, my console won't accept it. I tried everything from trying to get an American console (got a slim console instead which I love to pieces!) to searching from head to toe. My dad told me he saw a UK version and I saw a Gameboy version while searching and it said on the official Krome web that it was released in the UK. Also, I updated my Ty the tasmainian tiger story if you want to see it. I can't wait to add your OC but before I can I would need to know who he is in personality and stuff. I hope Im not annoying you. Anyways, please review soon!

Blu100-Jewel100: I know, poor Carlos. If it will make you happier then I will tell you that things will perk up a bit.

I hope to get some reviews on here and if you would like to then please feel free to look at more of my stories. You don't have to if you don't want to. I don't mind. :)

See you!
