Rio : The 10 Power Stones
Book 2 : The Shadow Stone
Chapter 10 : Misled
~Story Start~
Blu was on the couch of Linda's bookstore in Rio. He was awake but tired. He couldn't sleep after what the mysterious bird said.
"Was it my concience? Why would that bird tell me to kill my family? Does he know something I don't?" He thought.
He was like this until he finally collasped from exhaustion at around 4 AM.
He opened his eyes and saw that the sun was shining outside. He saw a clock that hung on the wall which said "12:47"
"I slept till noon?!" He thought.
"Goodmorning Blu. You must be really tired last night. You slept like a log." Chuckled Linda.
Blu blushed a bit under his feathers before hearing his stomach rumble making him blush even deeper.
Linda snickered a bit before talking again. "You're hungry aren't you? Well lucky for you I made pancakes for breakfast. Though I haven't made lunch. You can eat the leftover pancakes." She put a plate out from the refridgerator and put it on the table. "I'm going to the market to buy some ingredients. Okay? You lock up. Bye!" She said before going out the door with a purse and keys in hand.
Blu flew over to the table looking at the plate of 3 stacked pancakes. Be took a small bite before stuffing his mouth full of it, savoring it's amazing taste.
"Wow! These taste great! No wonder these were one of my favourites." He said as he put on a smile. "I wonder if my family..." He said, his smile faltering. "My family... I wonder how they're doing without me. Would they even take me back? I just left them Ffor 2 months. It's probably that it's not my fault but... it might be." He sighed and went to the fridge to get a drink.
Once he opened the fridge, he was instantly blasted with cold air which made him shiver intensely. He took a glass of water that was randomly placed inside and closed the door. He walked back to the table when he heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the backyard. He ran outside to see a scarlet macaw being choked by a vulture. I immidiately ran towards the 2 and fired a fireball at the vulture. Once the fire made contact with the vulture's flesh it screeched and let go of the scarlet macaw and fleed from the backyard. He walked towards the scarlet macaw who was on the ground.
"Are you okay?" He said as he reached out a wing for her to grab.
The scarlet reluctantly took his wing and pulled herself up.
"I'm fine. Thank you for saving me. But why?" She said.
"What?" Blu said, confused at the last words of tge scarlet.
"I mean... I'm thankful for you helping me. But I'm a scarlet and you're a spix." She replied.
"Does it matter? You were gonna die. I had to do something." He replied.
"B-but... wow. You're right. If you hadn't been here I would have died. Thanks. My name is Red. Yes I know, the name is so cheesy." She said as she offered a wingshake.
"Nah. My name is Blu. Whose "cheesier"?" He replied as he accepted the wingshake.
She grinned before answering. "I see you have a way with puns. That was a "Gouda" one."
Blu laughed before giving her another pun. "Oh come on. I was "Grana" use that joke.
Her smile widened as she knocked out another joke. "So are you saying that I'm a "Munster"?"
"Nope. All I'm saying is that you have an "Abondance" of cheese jokes." He replied.
"Hehe. Well. Nice meeting you. But I gotta go. See you later Blu!" She said as she left.
"Bye Red!" Blu said as he watched Red leave.
He went back inside and continued to eat the pancakes he left. After he finished his food he brought the plate and the glass he was using to the sink. After placing the plate and glass on the sink, Blu went to the living room and watched TV. He then noticed that there was a note in front of the front door. He cautiously flew towards it and read it.
"Meet me in the samba club when the sun sets. -Nico" The letter was written in a barely readable hand writing and was unevenly written.
"Meet? In the club? Why?" Blu said to himself. "Well. It's not like I have anything better to do."
Blu looked at the clock and saw "4:57"
"Wow. I've been watching TV for 4 hours now. Better turn it off. Should I go to the club now? Nah. I still have an hour." He said to himself as he stared out into space.
He was in a trance for a while until he saw someone move at the corner of his eyes. He turned to look at it and found something he didn't expect.
There was a pill on the ground with a note. "Drink this pill to learn the truth." It had a different hand writing than the last note. It was more legibly written.
Blu picked up the pill before tossing it into the trash can. "If you think you can fool me with this joke then you're wrong."
He flew back to the kitchen to get a snack when he heard a knock on the door. He flew to the door and unlocked it. When the door opened Linda went inside carrying 5 bags of groceries.
"Hi Blu. Sorry for the long wait. The supermarket's lines were super long." Said Linda as she placed the 5 bags onto the counter.
She looked at Blu when he motioned to go outside.
"You want to go outside?" She asked to which the blue macaw nodded.
"Sure. You can go outside. Stay safe."
Said Linda.
Blu, happy with her answer, flew out of the open window and flew towards the club. After a few minutes he took a rest on a branch when he felt a sharp pain on the back of his head and blacked out.
"Wow. Lucky that Tulio was going back to Rio. We made it here in a day thanks to him and his heli-thingy." Said Jewel.
"Yeah. Look! There's uncle Nico!" Said Bia.
The group consisted of Jewel, Bia, Carla, Tiago, Pedro, Nightfly, Rafael and Mimi. Mimi said that she wanted to come to Rio too. She wanted to see what it looks like in the city. They ran towards Nico and greeted him.
"Hey uncle Nico!" Greeted Tiago.
"Hey guys! The surprise isn't here yet..." Said Nico. "It's late."
"So... what's the surprise?" Asked Carla.
"Well. Since you're all here I could tell you the surprise. It's Blu. He's back." He said which surprised the whole group execpt Bia.
"I told you so!" She said.
"Well... where is he?" Asked Jewel worriedly.
"I wrote him a note to get here by sunset but he's not here yet." Replied Nico.
"Maybe he couldn't understand your terrible hand writing." Teased Bia.
"Hey! It's not that bad!" Said Nico angrily.
"Come on! It's worse than Tiago's hand writing." Replied Bia.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Said Tiago, irritated by her sister's remarks.
Suddenly a sound of an explosion filled the air, startling the birds inside the club. They looked at the source of the explosion and found Blu. His eyes were orange and his left wing had a fireball in it. His face was filled with anger as he spotted Bia. He lunged towards her as she put up a fire shield in response. The impact was so strong that Bia was launched through the brick wall and landed on the street. Blu continued after her and picked her up by the neck. Bia thought she was about to die when she was released. She took a big gulp of air before looking up. She saw her father fighting her boyfriend while she was picked up by her mother. She tried to bring her to safety but failed as Blu threw Nightfly towards Jewel and launched the 2 away, leaving Bia to the mercy of her father.
"D-dad? Wh-why are you doing this?" She asked, full of fear.
Blu simply walked towards her, holding his fire sword.
Bia closed her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She opened her eyes to see that her father stabbing her.
"Dad... why?" Were her last words before falling limp.
Blu closed his orange eyes and it opened as it's normal color.
He looked forward to see his daughter stabbed by him.
He jumped back at the scene and started to cry.
"B-Bia? Wh-what have I done?" He said as he took the sword out and threw it on the floor.
"I promise I'll save you in the next timeline. Like that other Blu."
He focused his powers in front of him. He was getting weaker at the moment but stayed determined and kept going.
Eventually he created a portal to the next timeline and entered through it.
And all he saw was white.
~The Samba Club~
"Wow. Lucky that Tulio was going back to Rio. We made it here in a day thanks to him and his heli-thingy." Said Jewel.
"Yeah. Look! There's uncle Nico!" Said Bia.
The group consisted of Jewel, Bia, Carla, Tiago, Pedro, Nightfly, Blu2, Rafael and Mimi. Mimi said that she wanted to come to Rio too. She wanted to see what it looks like in the city. They ran towards Nico and greeted him.
"Hey uncle Nico!" Greeted Tiago.
"Hey guys! The surprise isn't here yet..." Said Nico. "It's late."
"So... what's the surprise?" Asked Carla.
"Well. Since you're all here I could tell you the surprise. It's Blu. He's back." He said which surprised the whole group execpt Bia.
"I told you so!" She said.
"Well... where is he?" Asked Jewel worriedly.
"I wrote him a note to get here by sunset but he's not here yet." Replied Nico.

Blu was walking towards Bia when he felt a kick and he was launched into the wall.
Blu2 picked Bia and ran away from Blu.
Blu, enraged from the attack, ran after Blu2 and tried to throw him a fireball but Blu2 threw his own fireball making the 2 collide and explode in midair.
"This gonna be a long night." Thought Blu2 as he dodged another fireball.
