Rio the Darkness 3

RIO2lover100: I don't think Arlene can save herself this time.

Blu Razgriz: Arlene cannot do nothing to escape this time, and I don't think Blu can get to her in time, too. Sorry, but we'll have to see what happens.

Arlene the scarlet macaw: Yep, Vadin has caught you. And what can you do, eh?

MCGamemaster90: Yep, this won't turn out well, indeed.

rio craziness: What is Vadin gonna do? Who knows? But I bet it won't be pretty. And thanks.

mnero1996: Vadin is gonna do something very bad indeed. And who can save Arlene? Read to find out.

Leo the Hyacinth: You're right, women seem to always get into mischief.

Francisco the Golden Macaw: What's gonna happen? Will Arlene be cut off? Truth be told, I don't even know either. ;)

Blu100-Jewel100: I'm sorry for Arlene, too.

bobi4500: Yep, she escaped but got caught again. Good point, no good luck at all.

mw4fan: No, Vadin isn't gonna do that. In case you haven't noticed, I don't write inappropriate scenes or language.

killhell: Yep, Arlene failed her task and Vadin has her captive.

Rapper the red macaw: Let's hope someone saves her indeed. And thanks.

Arlene had been knocked unconscious for a few hours by Vadin and his Brotherhood members.

"Oh...I...Uh..." Arlene mumbled, as she slowly began to open her eyes, with a headache followed along.

"Morning, sleepy." a too familiar voice greeted evilly.

Arlene looked up, to see Vadin and two of his men standing in front of him. It didn't take her long to notice, they had tied rope around her body and ankles. She began to fall back asleep.

"Hey, wake up!" Vadin ordered, slapping her face with his wing.

"Oww!" Arlene moaned, not fully-awake.

"Awake now, sleeping beauty? Heheha!" Vadin chuckled. "Now, you've been quite a naughty prisoner. And I'm afraid I cannot keep you alive any further."

"What?!" Arlene yelled.

"Sorry, pretty-girl. But I have no other choice." Vadin said, beckoning for one of his Brotherhood members to hand him something. Vadin accepted a dagger in his talon.

"Oh, no." Arlene thought, quickly trying to get herself free.

Vadin look down at Arlene and held the dagger against Arlene's neck. "I watched your friend Jewel die by the wings of Nexus. She's dead, and I laughed so hard."

"Sicko!" Arlene growled.

"Hahaha." Vadin laughed, lifting the dagger up. "Time to die."

"Please, don't kill me." Arlene begged.

"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't?! You assaulted a prisoner, escaped from your cage, and tried to kill me!" Vadin yelled.

Arlene shock her head. "No, I didn't."

"LIES! Now," Vadin said, placing his dagger on the ground and picking up some more rope. He began to tie it around Arlene's beak. "I wouldn't want you screaming when I kill you, do we?"

After he was done, Arlene could only make mumbling noises. "Mmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm."

"Now, it's bye-bye for you." Vadin smirked, picking up the dagger and holding it up, ready to make a quick-kill

"Mmmmmmmm." Arlene mumbled, closing her eyes tight.

...

...

...

Just before Vadin could continue to make his kill, a nearby explosion was heard outside. "What the-erg, what now!?" Vadin shouted, placing the dagger on his desk. He and his Brotherhood members walked outside the tent.

Vadin turned back and called: I'll be back for you!"

After Vadin was gone, Arlene opened her eyes and began breathing heavily. Arlene now had to escape before Vadin returns.

Arlene then began to hear tiny footsteps coming nearby. Could Vadin be back already?

"Pss, Arlene?" a familiar voice whispered.

Arlene recognised that voice. She looked down and saw a familiar Canary standing on her leg.

"Arlene!" Nico yelled in a whisper.

"Mmmmm." Arlene mumbled.

Nico used his feet to hold onto the rope around Arlene's body while he untied her beak. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Arlene replied, breathing a couple of times to get her oxygen back.

"I'll get you out." Nico said, as he quickly began untying her. "Listen, we have a place where we can hide, and we're taking you there"

"Cool, but please hurry." Arlene said, looking around to check for enemies.

Nico finally got Arlene free, and walked over to the tent entrance/exit. "OK, follow me, and stay close and hidden."

"Ok." Arlene said, standing up from the chair and following the Canary out of the tent.

###

Nico and Arlene managed to fly all the way to a dark-side of the Jungle, where no Brotherhood members were around.

Nico landed down and began panting heavily. "We...Escaped."

"Yeah." Arlene replied, also panting.

Nico walked over to a tree and moved some dirt from the ground, revealing a door.

"Cool." Arlene said, looking down at the door.

"This is our underground hideout. Shut the door on your way down." Nico instructed before jumping down through the hole.

"Ok." Arlene said, also going inside and closed the door behind her.

Arlene jumped down to the bottom, and landed down on some cushions. The small-underground base was just like Nico's VIP room.

Nico walked to the center and announced "Welcome, Arlene. I got some food, a private bar, a couple of nests, and some torches for light."

"This is so cool." Arlene said looking around, and admiring the place.

"Yep, but, it's just you and me. Those people who helped us escape are probably caught by now." Nico said, lowering his head down.

"We should save them." Arlene suggested.

"If we go back, they'll get us again. But now, we gotta get some sleep and then make a plan." Nico explained.

"Yeah." Arlene agreed.

"Make yourself at home" Nico said, before letting off a yawn and laying down in the nest. "Zzzzzzzzz."

"Thanks." Arlene said, also laying down in another nest and drifting off to the Scarlet Macaw and Canary drifted off into a peaceful-loving sleep.

World of Light

Meanwhile, back in the World of Light, Blu was standing in the Castle's training room, examining his new tattoo. He now had another glowing tattoo on his wing, in the shape of a lightning.

Blu examined his tattoos; his right wing had the symbol of lightning, and his left wing had the shape of a diamond, and a couple of lines and a star. "Wow, incredible."

"Isn't it?" the Angelus smiled, as she held Blu's right wing up in hers. "Now you have a new ability."

"Excellent." Blu smirked, as he could feel the light essence growing inside his body.

Arlene has luckily escaped from Vadin, and is now living with Nico in his safe-underground hideout. Blu also now has a new ability and is ready to learn more powers of light. Stay tuned for chapter 26.
