After defeating Karrer, the remaining members of the Rio Army were still cheering in happiness at the fact that their most formidable enemy is dead at last, while having no idea that Blu was walking away from them and it wasn't long, until, this eventually caught everyone's attention much to their confusion.
They began to wonder why Blu is walking away from them and they weren't sure about what is going on, though, they had no idea about what has happened to Blu during his battle with Karrer since there was so much dust that they couldn't tell who was winning the battle until they saw Blu's wing coming out of Karrer's back.
Rafael, Nico and Pedro, Tiago, Bia, Carla and Alondra began following Blu while the remaining members of the Rio Army and the guardians of Rio let them follow Blu as they wondered where he was going until they found him leaning on a rock as he looked up at the suns setting in the sky with a sad smile on his face.
"I've forgotten how beautiful, sunsets here can be" said Blu as he smiled sadly at the sky. "Rio, this is home".
He turned to face his three children, his daughter-in-law as well as his best friends with the seven of them looking at him with worried expressions on their faces at the tone of Blu's voice as a dreadful thought came into their heads at that moment and they didn't want to think about it.
"Dad?, why were you walking away?" asked Carla as she dreaded the answer. "Is there something that, you're not telling us".
"I think you know the answer, Carla" said Blu as he nodded his head in confirmation. "I'm dying, I put a lot effort into that fight against Karrer and my body can't take it".
"No, no, this...this can't happen" said Tiago as he hoped it was some kind of a bad joke. "This has got to be some kind of prank, right dad?".
"Tiago, this is no prank, son" said Blu as he walked towards his son. "We've cheated death, so many times, it's only fair that death gets it's revenge".
"Dad...please...don't say that" said Tiago as he had tears form in his eyes. "What I'm, I, going to be without you?".
Blu gently, but, firmly put his wings on his son's cheeks as he still kept a sad smile on his face knowing that his proud of his son and he had the absolute honour of watching him grow up into the bird that he is today with the thought only making Blu's smile grow in size.
"You, are already more of a bird, than I will ever be" said Blu as he smiled at Tiago. "I am proud to have been your father...my son".
Tiago could only sob as he hugged his father, who returned the hug, the two having tears stream down their faces at the fact that this is the end of the line as well as the end of everything that they have been through as Blu released Tiago before turning to face the rest of his family.
"This isn't fair, dad" said Carla as tears streamed down her cheeks. "We lost mom, we can't lose you, too".
"Oh, come on, Carla" said Blu as he looked at his eldest daughter. "Today...IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!".
Carla hugged Blu, the latter returning the gesture, both knowing that this will be the last time that they will hug as father and daughter as well as a family, altogether, before they separated as Blu looked at his best friends with tears streaming down his face when he looked at them.
"You are the best friends, any 'hacker' can ask for" said Blu as he looked at his best friends. "I am very proud, to have been your friend".
"We are proud to be your friends, too, Blu" said Rafael as he, Nico and Pedro hugged Blu. "We are going to miss you very much, our friend".
Blu nodded his head in agreement as he returned the hug, which lasted for a few minutes, before he broke it as he turned his attention to both his daughter, Bia as well as her wife, his daughter-in-law, Alondra with the sight of them only bringing more tears to his eyes.
"Alondra, I am extremely proud to be your father-in-law" said Blu as he kissed Alondra's forehead. "Look after Bia for me, will you?".
"I will, sir, I can feel and understand her pain" said Alondra as she hugged her father-in-law. "Bia will miss an awesome father".
Her father-in-law nodded in understanding as he returned the hug before breaking it and turning his attention to Bia, knowing that they have a special bond from the moment that she was born and their special bond still lasts to this day as Blu faced her.
"Bia, my brave and awesome, Bia" said Blu as he looked at his daughter. "You and I will always have a strong bond, even after I'm gone, never forget that".
"I love you too much, to forget that, dad" sobbed Bia as she hugged her father. "I...(hiccup)...just...(hiccup)...wish...it didn't end like this".
"It doesn't end, Bia, the adventure continues" said Blu as he returned the hug. "There will always be more adventures, there will always be more...Sequels".
Bia nodded her head in understanding to what her father was saying to her as she sobbed onto his shoulder with Blu, gently, stroking his second daughter's head while trying to blink away his own tears that were still streaming down his own cheeks and it was proving to be hard for him.
"I'm sorry that I have to leave you...all of you" said Blu as he looked at his loved ones. "But I have to do this, alone".
Blu released Bia as he began to walk away from her and the rest of his loved ones, once again, as he hoped to find a place in the forest where he could die in peace while Bia, being wrapped in Alondra's wings, along with the rest of Blu's loved ones watched as Blu stopped for a brief moment before he carried on walking until he was out of sight.
