"Gotta keep going." Rico said, running down the hole through the wall. Finally, every made it-in what looked like where a mouse lives in a house. Inside a wall.
Everyone sat down, tired and exhausted. Lev and Lola, who had been carrying Blu, set him down against the wall.
Jewel walked over to her mate, and placed her good wing on his shoulder, and whispered:"It's ok, Blu. You'll be ok."
Blu nodded in response, and tried his best not to move. Now that everyone was safe, there was still one question to be answered.
...
...
...
"Rico, how are you alive?" Jewel asked, still confused and shocked. "I...I don't understand."
"Well, Arlene here saved me." Rico smiled, placing a wing over Arlene. "If it wasn't for her: I'd been dead."
"How did you survive, then?" Nico inquired.
Rico smiled and took his wing from Arlene. "Well, this is the story..."
Rio the series 2 chapter 11 (After the hanger explosion)
Debris. Nothing but debris scattered across the ground of the runway. Inside a burning hanger Rico the black hawk had survived the explosion.
"Ah, the pain..." Rico grunted, trying to walk out of the hanger. "I gotta get out of here. It's gonna blow again."
After a couple of seconds, Rico managed to to get out of the hanger-before falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, a Scarlet Macaw was flying over the hanger-area. She thought someone could be here still, so was searching for help. "HELLO! IS ANYONE OUT HERE!"
"I...I don't think I'm...Gonna make it." Rico said, attempted to crawl away. Rico didn't have anymore strength to carry on, and passed out.
The Scarlet Macaw Sees a black figure moving on the ground. She Gasps and flys down to Rico. She tried shaking him to wake him up. "Hey are you ok? Answer me."
... Rico didn't respond.
"I got to get this guy to safety." she said, looking around for a safe place. "Ok." the Scarlet Macaw said, grabbing Rico by the wings and began to carry him.
The Scarlet Macaw had managed to carry Rico back to the Jungle. She set him down, under a palm tree and next to a pond. "Lets see what happens when I wet his face." she said, using her wings to splash water onto his face.
Rico still remained silent...
The Scarlet Macaw notice the burn and cut marks on Rico, and realize he could be dying.
"Um...um. Aha." she said, getting some leaves from a tree-"Lets have a look."- and began wrapping the leaves around Rico's body.
".., ma...ah...ow." Rico mumbled, muttering pain noises in is unconscious state.
"Thank god he's still alive." the Scarlet Macaw said.
...oh..."Rico talks in unconscious sleep. "..Nigel...hanger...explosion.
"Yeah. He's gong to be fine." she said, before letting off a thankful-sigh.
After a few minutes had passed, Rico slowly began to open his dark blue eyes. "Where am I?"
"You're safe. From the explosion."
Rico began to study his surroundings. "Am I in a bush-or something?"
"No. You're just wrapped in leaves." the Scarlet Macaw replied.
Rico attempted to lean up, but he was to sore. "Where am I exactly?"
"You are under a palm tree, and away from the explosion." the Scarlet Macaw answered.
"Who are you?" Rico asked.
"I'm Arlene." she answered, finally revealing her name. "As you can tell I'm a Scarlet Macaw."
"I noticed." Rico said, putting on a smile. "Thank you for the help, ma'am."
"You're welcome. You're pretty lucky I was around." Arlene said, smiling.
Yeah...I was...Rico agreed; he suddenly remembered something: "Nigel!"
"Um, who is this Nigel?" Arlene inquired.
"It's a long story, ma'am." Rico said.
"It's ok. I don't have any plans anyway." Arlene said.
"Ok." Rico said. He groans and sits up. "My friends, a pair of Blue Macaws were captured, and taken to the hanger by Nigel, a big cockatoo. I got a bunch of birds and went over there to save them. Long-story-short, I saved them. But, there was a fire that was gonna blow up the hanger. Every one escaped, except for me and Nigel. To keep him there, I tried to hold him."
"I should have been killed. I don't know about Nigel." Rico finished. "Then I woke up, and that's when I saw you."
"Wow. I bet you went through a lot stuff." Arlene said.
"Indeed. What now? I can't exactly travel back home in my condition." Rico said, looking at his injuries.
"Don't worry. You can sleep in my hollow tonight." Arlene offered.
"Are you sure?" Rico asked. "I don't wanna be a burden."
"Nah. It's fine." Arlene said.
"Ok, thank you, ma'am. Can you help me walk?" Rico requested, holding one wing out. "And do you live far?"
"No, not far." Arlene replied, taking his wing and lifting him up. "See that big tree over there? "That's where I live."
"Wow, it's a nice tree." Rico complemented, placing wing over her neck and onto your shoulder to walk. "Ok, let's go."
"Ok." Arlene smiled, walking with Rico to her tree.
The Scarlet Macaw and the Hawk make it over to Arlene's tree and climb inside. Rico walked through the hollow entrance/exit, and groaned: "Ah..I'm in so much pain."
"I'm sorry that happened to you. Would you like anything to eat?" Arlene asked.
"If it wouldn't be to much trouble, I would like an orange." Rico requested.
"Order coming up." Arlene smiled. "You stay here and take it easy. Ok?"
"Yes, I will." Rico replied, sitting down in nest.
"Ok then. I'll be right back." Arlene called, flying towards the orange tree.
"Ok. She seems like a nice lady." Rico thought, before examining his body. "She covered me with leaves. Not much, but it'll hold for now.
A few seconds later, Arlene returned, holding an orange in her talons. "Ok, here we is served."
"Thank you." Rico thanked, accepting the orange and beginning to ear it. After Rico finished eating, he said: "I don't think I have introduced myself. I'm Ricardo."
"Well, nice to meet you Ricardo." Arlene said, holding out her right talon.
"You to, ma'-I mean, Arlene." Rico said, accepting her talon shake.
"Well, I guess it's time to sleep already." Arlene said, letting go of Rico's talon.
"Yeah, I'm sure rest could help me recover quicker." Rico agreed, laying down in the nest.
"Indeed." Arlene smiled, laying down in the other side of the nest. She closed her eyes and said: "Good night, Ricardo.
"Good night, Arlene." Rico replied, before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.
The next morning
The sun slowly rose into the city of Rio De Janeiro. Rico slowly opened his eyes, and immediately woke up in pain. "Zzzzzz, uhhh. Oh, agony."
Arlene had just woken up too, a few seconds later. She yawned and stretched her wings. "Man. It's morning already? That was pretty fast."
"Time flys when sleeping." Rico said.
"Yep." Arlene agreed. "So, do you want to get breakfast and start the day off?"
"Yep." Rico smiled.
"What do you want for breakfast then?" Arlene asked.
"A mango would be nice." Rico replied.
"Then you stay and relax, while go and get mangoes for us to eat." Arlene said, walking out of the hollow and flying over to mango tree.
"Will do." Rico said.
The Hawk waited a few minutes for his new friend to return. Arlene had returned, holding mango's in her talons. "I'm back with mangoes."
"Thanks." Rico said, accepting the mango and beginning to eat.
"You're welcome again." Arlene said, eating her mango too.
After a couple of minutes Rico and Arlene finished their breakfast and sat back down in the nest. Rico had to say something important. "Listen, Arlene, there is something I think I should do."
"What's that?" Arlene asked.
"I don't think I should go back to my friends and tell them I am alive." Rico answered.
"Well, if that's what you want, I won't stop you." Arlene said.
"Thanks. It's only because every time I am around they seem to get in danger. If I stay away, maybe they'll be safe." Rico explained.
"Hmm." Arlene hummed, with a wingtip on her chin. "That is a good reason. And sweet because you're trying to protect your friends."
Rico nodded in response and put on a smile. "If you met them, you would love them all. They are the greatest friends a Hawk could ask for. "I am friends with Blue Macaws, Toucans, a Canary, a Cardinal."
"Wow. They sound great. And a lot of birds from different species." Arlene said.
"Yep, especially Blue Macaws. I thought they were extinct until I met them." Rico said.
"Hmm. Yeah, so did I." Arlene agreed.
"So, Arlene. Tell me about yourself. Do you have friends and family in Rio?" Rico asked.
"Only friends, but no family." Arlene replied.
"Why? What happened?" Rico inquired.
"I sort of...
...
...
...
",ran away."
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Rico said, placing a wing over her for comfort.
"Actually I got over it already. I just moved on." Arlene said.
"Wanna talk about it?" Rico said, pulling her a little closer. "Talking helps. Was they mean to you?"
"Sometimes. Or they just ignore me liked I wasn't even there." Arlene answered.
"Oh, my...Was you a single child?" Rico asked.
"No. I only one sister who is older than me." Arlene replied.
Rico set his wing from her. "So, you ran away? For how long? You look about 13 to me. And was your sister mean too?"
(Note: 13 is bird years is like 20 in human years.)
"It's been 6 years since I ran away. My sister was a little mean to me, but we used to fight everyday." Arlene said, shredding a tear.
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of asked." Rico apologized.
"It's ok. I don't really care any more." Arlene smiled.
"Ok. Well, anything you wanna know about me? Since you saved my life?" Rico asked.
"Sure. I been wondering about that for some time." Arlene said.
"Well, I have a father, a mother, a little brother, and a older brother...But, most of them...have...You know." Rico said.
"Oh. Yeah I know what you mean." Arlene understood.
Rico suddenly shredded a tear. "My father had went to sleep one night and didn't wake up. My older brother was beaten to death by a bunch of Toucans."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that." Arlene said.
"Thanks. I also had someone I cared about...Some one I loved...She...She..." Rico couldn't finish and burst into tears.
"Hey, it's ok." Arlene said, pulling Rico into a hug."You need to let it out."
Rico slowly cried, and tried to finish his sentence. "The love of my life was murdered...5 years ago...by your kind."
"Oh my." Arlene gasped. "Well I would be glad to hurt that bird even though he is the kind I am."
"It wasn't just 1, it was 3 of them. I killed the one when it first happened. The second one killed himself..." Rico paused.
"So then. 1 more is left." Arlene said.
"I found him, a while ago. He has a family now. I couldn't go through with it. I let him live." Rico replied.
"Wow. Changed man huh? But I do hope he will regret about what he did to you." Arlene hoped.
"Me too. Listen, it was nice of what you did, but I should be on my way." Rico said, getting up onto his feet.
Arlene quickly got up and placed a wing on his shoulder. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. Your injuries will get worst."
"I'll be fine." Rico suddenly groaned. "Ugh, maybe not."
"See. You just need to take it easy." Arlene said, sitting him back down in the nest. "It still looks like you need lots of rest."
"How long will it take for me to be back to my old self?" Rico inquired.
"Only time will tell until you're back to your old self." Arlene simply answered.
"Indeed. So, have you ever been to the Samba Club?" Rico asked, making conversation.
"Indeed I have. It's a lot of fun there." Arlene replied.
"Yep. I know the owners, personally." Rico said, smiling.
"Oh, really?" Arlene grinned.
"Yep. Nico and Pedro, they have been my friends for a long time." Rico said.
"Wow. I heard of them before, but I never met them." Arlene said.
"Yep. I know a lot of people." Rico smiled. "I know Nico and Pedro, the owners of the club. Captain Lenny, the second-in command of the army..."
"Sounds like you know lots of birds." Arlene said.
"I've been here along time." Rico explained. "What about you? You told me about your family. What about your friends?"
"Oh, I have lots of friends. Most of them are macaws." Arlene replied.
"Ok." Rico said, laying in the nest. "I could use rest."
"You know it might take weeks to heal." Arlene said.
"Well, thats great." Rico said, annoyed.
"Yep. So you don't have to worry about it that much." Arlene reassured.
"I guess..." Rico said.
That's part 1 of how Rico survived. Part 2 coming soon. Be sure to review if you enjoyed.
