As much as it pains me to say this, this is one of the very last chapters, the story of these characters will soon come to an end. But I want to thank all of you who have supported me through my very first fanfiction. And a very special thanks to the User 'Crexis the Purple Macaw' who was the sole creator of the entire purple macaw idea, and without his guidance, I would have been truly lost. So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

"Come on bird, keep moving!" a voice yelled, shoving him with a pen. He turned around and looked at him, and mumbled, "God, what is your problem today?" While stuck in thought, the man shoved him again, except more aggressively this time. He obeyed this time and did what thee man wanted, which was getting back in his cage.

Deep in the Amazon two birds stood together, before they despised one another, but now they were family, and family is never forgotten.
Crexis looked at Eduardo with admiration, he now accepted him, believed that he was one of the tribe, and it felt great. "Son, I just want to tell you that I'm proud of what you're doing." Eduardo stated, looking off towards the sun. "Uh... T-thank you, sir." Crexis stuttered, he wasn't used to Eduardo giving him compliments. "C'mon boy, buck up. We aren't what we used to be... thanks to you that is." Eduardo stated, averting his eyes to Crexis.

"We'll be leaving soon Crexis, and make sure that you're ready."

"Y-yes sir."

"I mean now, like scram Crexis, no offense."

"Oh, OH! No problem sir."

Crexis flew off to find his friends, it really didn't matter who, just as long as it was a friend. He was flying towards a gathering of Spix macaw children, but then "Hey Crexis!" a distant voice shouted. Crexis turned around to see Mika flying shakily towards him. "Hey Mika! What's up? You're flying kind of weird..."

"Ummm... I think we... I think we need to talk..."

"Right now?"

"Y-yes... now."

"I guess I can take a few moments out of planning... ah, alright."

"We may want to find someplace a bit more discreet..."

Crexis gave her a weird look, "Um... ok..." he replied uneasily, but he followed Mika to Roberto's hollow, where it was only Roberto, Mika, and him. "So guys... what's up?" Crexis asked nervously, he definitely had a queasy feeling about this 'talk'. He looked at both of them, usually both full of life and cheer, now looked a bit shocked and in dismay. "Guys c'mon, what's wrong?" Crexis asked, getting a bit scared now.

Then Mika spoke.

"Crexis come here please."

"Why?"

"Please just come here."

Crexis obeyed and hopped over to Mika.

She wrapped Crexis up in her wings.

"Do you know where you came from?"

"Yeah, Iona." Crexis replied, remembering those horrific memories.

"No, I mean who made you?"

"Yeah, the scientist made me in a test tube with some macaw DNA."

"Well that's a lie."

"What?! What do you mean a lie?" Crexis asked, getting a bit more into the conversation.

"You weren't made just from a random macaw's DNA, in fact you weren't ever in a test tube."

"How would you know? You were never there, you will never understand!"

"Listen!" she screamed, angrily.

Crexis shrunk down, almost half his size in fear.

"Do you know how I know?"

"Do I dare even ask?"

"I know, because Roberto and I were captured around a year ago, we feel in love, had three eggs, only one came out ok, and that was you Crexis. You're our son, our own flesh and bone."

Crexis stood there for a long time, taking everything in. He then burst out laughing, he expected Mika and Roberto to do the same but their faces were unchanged, "Guys, c'mon laugh with me!" he bellowed.

This time Roberto flew down to Crexis,
"Is this a joke to you? You finally find out who your long-lost parents are, is that a joke? Mika and I fell in love, we had children, only one survived, and this is funny to you? Our only son?" Roberto yelled, letting off steam from his anger.

"Wait... You're not kidding, you're being serious?" Crexis asked, shaking a bit.

"YES! We are telling you the truth, no please try to understand, that is why I was so attached to you when we first met." Mika butted in.

"It makes so much sense now, but... you... why...?"

Then like a lighting bolt, Crexis jolted out of the hollow and into the Amazon Rainforest.

Carla was nearby, getting scolded by her parents for sleeping in a random hollow 'alone'

"Do you realize how dangerous that was!" Blu screeched, almost about to have a worse panic attack than his current one. "Blu, honey maybe she wanted to feel like a grown up, to be an adult..." Jewel suggested, shrugging her shoulder blades. Blu brought his wings over his face and groaned in frustration, "Honey, you're supposed to be on my side." he whined, disappointed.

As the two adults got more content with their argument, Carla stood at the rim of the hollow, feeling the wind fly through her feathers. She noticed something or rather someone, flying directly towards the Pit of Doom. "There's no games scheduled for today..." But then she noticed the color of this bird.

Purple

"Crexis..." she whispered to herself, before flying after him. Bia and Tiago looked up to see their sister rushing off, followed by a distraught yell of frustration, "Arghhhh! Carla! Where are you going?! We're not done talking!" their father yelled clearly annoyed that nothing was going the way it was planned.

"Sorry Dad! I need to check on something!" Carla shouted in response.

"Soo... what are we checkin' on?" a voice asked from behind her, it seemed extremely familiar, but she wasn't surprised to see who it was. She turned around to see Bia, with Tiago in tow. "Oh, hey guys." she said blankly.

"I saw Crexis rushing over here, and he was in a hurry. I just want to check if he's okay..."

"Ugh... girls." Tiago muttered, clearly annoyed for their cause of worry, even though he loved playing air soccer with Crexis, when he got Carla worried, it was like hell on earth, and it bored him to the core.

The trio touched down at 'The Pit of Doom' looking for their friend.

"Crexis?!" Carla yelled, whilst looking around the arena.

Since landing, the three had split up, looking everywhere. But it wasn't long til Bia heard and unsteady, and horrid breathing pattern. Bia creeped closer to where she heard it, it seemed like it was coming from beneath her. This puzzled her, how could someone be in the giant rock plateau.

It finally hit her, not in it, but under it. Bia quickly caught her siblings attention by jumping around and shaking her wings.

"What is it, Bia?" Carla asked, rather a bit loud.

"Ssshhh!" Bia hissed, hoping Crexis couldn't hear them bickering like old war veterans right now. She pointed one of her many flight feathers towards the ground. "He's below us. Under the plateau." Bia explained, using wing motions to explain. Carla understood and slowly approached his hiding place.

"Crexis?"

No answer.

"It's me, Carla."

Still no answer.

Carla looked at him he was heaving, as if he was mad or in shock. "C-crexis please... you're scaring me."

In barely a whisper,

"I found them, I found out who they are..." Carla looked at him confused, "What? I can't hear you Crexis."

Louder now,

"I found them, I found out who they are..."

"Who?" Carla asked, perplexed.

"My parents..." he offered coldly, something was wrong with him. Terribly wrong.

Carla turned him around, "Look at me... Stop it! Be Crexis, don't be this revenge obsessed, cry baby. You found your parents, be happy, you can actually have a family now. You've yearned for this, be the bird I fell in love with on the inside." Carla cried, unwavered, unshaken. She admitted it, she loved Crexis, but it would wait til they were older.

Crexis finally looked up, his heaving had stopped. He seemed normal now, at least physically.
