Rio : The 10 Power Stones

Book 2 : The Shadow Stone

Chapter 11 : Reunion

~Story Start~

Blu2 was running away from Blu with Bia in his wings. He dodged another fireball when he spotted Jewel and Nightfly helping each other up.

"Jewel! Take Bia out of here!" He shouted as he threw Bia towards them.

Jewel barely caught Bia and fell down. Nightfly offered to carry her but she refused.

Blu2 ran towards Blu and fired a fireball at him. Blu dodged it and threw another fireball. Blu2 dodged it but the explosion knocked him off balance and made him trip. He was picked up by Blu and was about to be stabbed of it wasn't for Bia who threw a small fireball at Blu.

"Bia! Get back to your mother!" Blu2 demanded.

Bia simply ignored him and charged towards Blu with her fire shield. Blu was knocked back and was dazed a little bit before getting back up and shot a fire beam. Bia noticed this and put up her wings for defense. She opened her eyes to see her shield. But it wasn't her fire shield. It was black. Pitch black. Like a shadow.

"A... a shadow shield?" Asked Bia with a face of disbelief.

"H-how?" Asked Blu whose eyes were flickering

from their orange color and their normal color.

Blu then closed his eyes. Then it opened pure orange. He threw Bia away and summoned his weapons. Bia managed to land on her feet and also summoned her weapons, a fire sword and a shadow shield. Suddenly the 2 weapons started to vibrate and glow. Bia then felt a burst of energy and confidence and her cuts, wounds and bruises started to heal. She floated into the air and fell on her feet. She now had a white sword and shield in her hand and she had a white area around her.

"Well dad. That was a good warm up. But now... let's get serious." Said Bia before she ran towards her father.

Bia swung her white sword towards her father who blocked it with his shield. Unfortunately for him blocking the sword made him fly backwards. In anger he stood up and shot a hundred or so fireballs in her way. Bia looked towards him to see a wave of fireballs towards her. She jumped over one of them. Slid under 2 of them. And blocked the rest with her shield. He fired a fire beam at her and then made the ground beneath her burst into flames. Bia dodged the beam by jumping to her left and evaded the flames by jumping up. She then Bia shot a white ball towards her father. The white ball split into 4 smaller balls and each went into Blu's wings and talons, pinning him to the wall. Bia slowly walked towards her father who was now stuck to the wall. He was doing everything he could to escape bit the white blobs were too strong for them.

"Hey dad." She said awkwardly as her weapons dissapeared as it fell to the ground.

"Let me out!" He shouted.

"You remember me right?" She asked, her eyes full of tears.

"No! You're not anyone I know!" He replied angrily.

"It's me Bia. Your daughter." She replied with a smile.

"No! I don't have a-" Was all he could say before his eyes flickered once again.

"You remember all the good times we had right?" She stated.

"No! You're not my chil- Auuggh!" He said. His eyes flicking faster and more frequently than before.

"Making each other laugh..."

~Flashback~

"Hey Bia. Why do ghosts need elevators?" Said Blu with a grin.

"Hmmm... I don't know. Why?" She asked playfully.

"It's to "Lift their spirits"!" Blu replied happily.

Bia giggled at her father's joke.

"Knock knock." Said Bia.

"Who's there?" Asked Blu, playing along.

"Chese." Said Bia.

"Why are you feeling so "Blu"?" Replied Bia before bursting into giggles.

Blu chuckled before scooping up Bia in his wings.

"Heh. Like father. Like daughter I suppose." Said Blu.

"Yup!" Said Bia before snuggling into her father's wings.

~Present~

"...Telling each other stories..." Said Bia.

~Flashback 2.0~

"...and that's how I met your mother. Any questions Bia?" Said Blu after he finished telling thevstory of how he met Jewel to his daughter.

"Is it true that you couldn't fly before you met mom?" Bia asked.

"Yes Bia. Since I was caught at an early age I was never been able tobe taught. Why do you ask?" Replied Blu.

"Well. Dad I have a secret to tell you." Said Bia.

"Really? What is it?" Asked Blu, wanting to know his daughter's secret is.

"I... I'm... I'm scared of flying." Said Bia nervously.

"Really? Why?" Asked Blu.

"I... I'm afraid of heights. And I don't want to disappoint you." She said, trying to avoid eye contact with her father.

"Aww. Come here sweetie." He said as he pulled his daughter into a hug.

"I'll help you get over your fear of heights. Don't you worry." Said Blu to comfort his daughter.

"Really?" Said Bia as she looked at her father's eyes. "You're... you're not mad or disappointed?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad? It's just a fear of heights. Here. Let's start tommorow. How does that sound?" Replied Blu.

"Thanks dad. I love you." Said Bia as he hugged her father again.

"I love you too sweetie." Said Blu as he accepted her daughter's hug.

~Present~

"Remember the time where pranked Tiago in revenge?"

~Flashback~

"Shhh! Here he comes!" Whispered Bia.

"Traps are ready and calibrated." Whispered Blu.

Tiago came into the hollow to be covered with glue.

"What the?!" Said Tiago before he noticed something going towards him.

Then he got glittered. The two birds seeking revenge took their cameras, flew down and snapped 3 photos each.

"Dad! Bia! What did you do?!" Shouted Tiago angrily.

"Taking revenge." Replied Bia before running out of the hollow with her dad following close behind, their cameras in their talons.

Jewel who saw the whole incident chuckled to herself.

"Blu is such a kid sometimes."

~Present~

"Or when we helped each other to find mom's anniversary present."

~Flashback~

"Oh my gosh! Where is it?" Said Blu as he went from room to room.

Bia walked up to her father and asked him. "Dad? What are you doing?"

"Oh. Hi sweetie! Just finding something." Replied Blu.

"Really? Can I help?" Asked Bia.

"Are you sure? I can handle it." Replied Blu as he looked at his daughter.

"Yeah! I wanna help. What are you looking for?" Said Bia.

"Well. Keep it a secret. I'm looking for your mom's anniversary present. It's a red box with hearts on it." Replied Blu.

"Oh! I think Tiago took it. He said something about finding a big box earlier." Replied Bia.

"What?! Well. Thanks Bia for your help but I gotta go! Bye!" Said Blu as he rushed out of the hollow.

"Bye!"

~Present~

"You remeber those times right?" Said Bia, who is now right in front off her father.

Blu didn't do anything but his eyes flickered intensely.

Bia hugged her father before speaking. "And remember our family motto? Birds of Blue Feathers..."

Blu's eyes stopped at orange but it slowly faded to it's normal color.

"...have to stick together." Blu said with a sad smile, the white blobs on his wings and talons slowly disappearing letting him land on his feet.

He let out a few tears of joy mixed with sadness before hugging her daughter tightly.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Said Blu repeatedly.

"Dad... it's okay. It probably wasn't your fault." Said Bia, hugging her father even tighter.

"Thank you sweetie." Said Blu.

They then heard a call from behind them. They looked up to see Jewel running towards them. Soon they were in the tightest hug they've ever done.

"I thought I lost you forever!" Said Jewel, tears running down her turquoise eyes.

"It's okay. I'm here now. It's all gonna be alright." He comforted her.

Nightfly then stood next to Bia as he talked to her.

"So... your dad is back huh? I kinda forgot what he was like." Said Nightfly, embarrassed.

"Heh. It's nice to have a dad again." She said as she hugged Nightfly, who accepted the hug.

"Hey Nightfly. Check out what I can do." She said as she created another fire sword and shadow shield.

"Wha-! Isn't that a shadow shield?" He exclaimed. "Does that mean-"

"Yup. I love you as much as dad." Said Bia.

"Awwww. My daughter has a boyfriend already?" Said Blu from behind them, startling the 2.

"Oh dad!" Said Bia as she turned to face him, blushing uncontrollably.

"Well? Care to catch me up on what happened?" Said Blu.

"Don't worry Blu. I'll catch you up." Said Jewel as she dragged him away from her embarrassed daughter. "I'll let you two have some alone time."

"Heh. Parents. They're just so embarrassing sometimes." Chuckled Nightfly.

"Nightfly?" Asked Bia.

"Yeah?" Replied Nightfly.

"Can... can I ask about your past?" Said Bia.

"Actually... can we talk about this later? I don't think now is the right time for this. I promise I'll tell you later." Replied Nightfly.

"Sure. I respect your decision." Said Bia.

"Thanks." Replied Nightfly.

Later that day Blu met up with all of the others and spent a day with each of them. The next day Nico and Pedro arranged a big party for Blu's return.

"Blu! Where are you?! We need you now!" Shouted Jewel outside.

Blu entered the club to see Nico trying to put in a new ipod into the sound system.

"Ahh. There you are. We... uhh. Kinda need your help. With this..." Said Nico.

"Heh. Don't worry. I'll fix it." Chuckled Blu before walking towards the ipod.

Meanwhile Bia was with Nightfly on a ledge of a building near the club.

"Bia." Said Nightfly out of the blue.

"Yeah?" She replied with a smile.

"I have to tell you something. Something very important." Said Nightfly very... very... seriously.

"Okay. What is it?" Said Bia as her smile faltered.

"I... I'm..." He said but he couldn't finish his sentence.

"What? You're what?" Asked Bia.

Nightfly took a deep breath before answering her.

"I'm leaving."
