Chapter 91- final showdown with Dalek part 2
"Does that chameleon ever admit defeats?" Connie snarled. Then Jewel glared volcanically at the chameleon.
"I don't know but he's definitely causing us a lot of bother, I can tell you," she growled and with that, the Spix macaw rocketed off to confront the chameleon.
"Mom, DON'T!" cried Bia as Blu and Stella flew in with Sandalwood but Jewel didn't hear them and continued rocketing towards Dalek. Blu then handed Sandalwood to Stella and said, "Take care of Sandalwood while Jewel and I finish this."
"Can I help?" asked Sandalwood.
"No, Sandy," said Blu and with that, he charged off after Jewel, much to Sandalwood's frustration.
"Look, you've been in enough danger as it is," said Stella firmly. Sandalwood, disgruntled, didn't reply.
Dalek glared at Jewel and Blu as they approached him and got ready to strike, a fierce hiss of pure rancour leaving his gritted mouth. Jewel, her eyes blazing teal fire, then flared her claws and got ready to slash Dalek with her talons but as she got close, Dalek quickly opened his mouth and in a blink of an eye sent his tongue launching like a harpoon at Jewel. Jewel did not have time to react when the sticky end of the tongue caught her face and as soon as she was in his tongue's grip, Dalek heaved his head toward the fire and flung Jewel towards it. Blu looked on in horror as he watched his mate careen towards the thing she detested most besides Nigel.
"JEWEEEEL!" he cried as he watched the cerulean form of his beloved mate disappear into a tree as it caught fire. Above, Bia, Stella, Sandalwood, Connie and Bellatrix also let loose horrified cries but then they turned their attention to the fiery confrontation about to unfold between Blu and Dalek as Blu approached the chameleon but the sight of seeing his mate get thrown towards the fire had triggered something within Blu. His brown eyes suddenly became engulfed with flames and his blue feathers bristled, along with a volcanic look appearing on Blu's face. Dalek looked on and got prepare for action, a devilish smirk on his face as Blu then let loose an extremely loud screech of rage, the most enraged screech he had ever erupted in his life, and charged like a blue comet towards Dalek. Then Bia handed Connie to Stella and prepared to fly down.
"We've gotta help!" she said to Stella, who had Sandalwood, the injured Connie and Bellatrix on her back but the flying fox pup seized Blu and Jewel's daughter by the wing with her own membranous one.
"That's a bad idea, Bia," said she, "If you try and help, that chameleon could send you flying into that fire with his tongue where you'd get cooked."
Bia relented and put off the idea, turning to watch Blu as he slammed into the branch before Dalek and began to watch from a distance.
Blu then glared fiery at the chameleon, the most volcanic look he had ever harboured in his life plastering his face.
"So, you despise parrots, do you, rat-face?" hissed the Spix companion of Linda in a stormy voice, "Well, I absolutely DESPISE ANYTHING AND ANYONE WHO THREATENS MY FAMILY, DESTROYS THINGS AND ENDANGERS MY JEWEL OF THE FOREST OR ANYONE ELSE BUT MOST ESPECIALLY HER!"
And with an extremely loud screech, Blu crouched and with a powerful spring of his talons, he launched himself at Dalek, his talon claws flared and ready to inflict injury. However, the sneaky Dalek ducked and dived out of the way; sending Blu's talons slamming into the tree bark and miss instead. Then Dalek whirled round and launched his harpoon-like tongue at Blu and whacked him like a pink whip in the face, knocking Blu over and withdrew his weapon into his mouth. As soon as Blu was on his back, Dalek leaped on top of him and began to viciously attack him and rip out his feathers but Blu heaved the chameleon off of him with his wings, sending the chameleon flying back on the branch. After this, Blu stood up while Dalek rose to his feet. The Spix macaw and the chameleon then glared daggers with each other before the former releasing a screech and the latter an extremely loud hiss. Then the two enemies charged towards each other and clashed, locked in a vicious wrestle. Dalek shoved Blu back and jumped further back himself, somersaulting in the process. Blu then lurched at Dalek and attempted to slash the chameleon's face only for Dalek to dodge by jumping back again and have Blu plunge his talons into the wood. Blu then fluttered back and glared volcanically at his opponent. Then both Dalek and Blu leaped into the air at each other and collided again, in mid-air, before forcing one another back in opposite directions. Blu fluttered up and attempted a dive attack at Dalek only for the chameleon to whirl round and slap Blu across the face with his whip-like tail. Blu was sent spinning backward from the force of the tail attack and slammed hard onto another branch. Dalek then rushed over to Blu and screeched to a halt before him, his tongue ready to fire at the Spix macaw as Blu opened his eyes.
With a vicious hiss filtering through his beak, Blu heaved himself into the air, hovered and dove at Dalek again, his claws poised to attack the chameleon but Dalek launched his tongue and struck him in the abdomen. From their stand, or hover, point, Bellatrix, Stella, Connie, Bia and Sandalwood watched on as the chameleon and Bia's dad then engaged in a vicious sword-like duel with Dalek using his tongue and tail and Blu hovering in the air and using his talons to deflect Dalek's tongue and tail attacks while at the same time lurching at Dalek to slash him with his claws only for Dalek to deflect his attempts with his tail or tongue. The sword-like duel continued with Blu's talons and Dalek's tongue and tail clashing until Dalek, his tail struggling against Blu's talons, then whirled round and head-butted Blu right in the face, sending the Spix macaw flying backwards and crashing on his back against another branch. Then as he began to struggle to his feet, Dalek, a rancorous hiss exploding through his mouth, aimed his tongue at Blu and launched it like a harpoon at the Spix macaw. Blu, battered and bruised from Dalek's vicious attacks on him, raised his head and upper body with his wings just in time to receive a sticky end of a pink harpoon latch onto his forehead. Bellatrix, Connie, Bia, Stella and Sandalwood all screamed in horror as Dalek then yanked his head and pulled his tongue with Blu stuck on the end of it, from the branch and send Blu flying towards a nearby cluster of leaves in an adjacent tree, releasing him from his tongue's sticky end. Blu screamed as he spun wildly and slammed into the leaf cluster, a small shower of green flat sheets and blue feathers drifting gently from his crash site. Dalek looked on with a devilish glare as he withdrew his tongue, a moment of silence except for the fire's roar hung over him and the watchers (Bia and the other five) but then the leaf cluster in which Blu had crashed shuddered… and then a blue form exploded violently like a bullet flying from a gun and shot towards Dalek at an extremely fast rate.
Dalek looked on in shock as the blue comet charged towards him but before he could act, Blu had smashed into the chameleon's face, head-first, and heaved the reptile into the air. Then Blu, his volcanic wrath consuming him and his eyes blazing the largest brown fires he had EVER allowed to blaze in his life, seized Dalek by the tail with his beak, and began to slam the chameleon hard on the hard surface of another branch. Bia, Stella, Bellatrix, Sandalwood and Connie watched on as Blu violently slammed the chameleon several times on the branch by swinging his head and yanking on the chameleon's tail to lift Dalek in the air and bring him down, again and again. After this, Blu tossed Dalek onto another branch, where he crashed, and then charged towards the chameleon. While Dalek was dazed, Blu hovered before him, flared his talon claws and without hesitation and with an extremely loud screech, scored them right across Dalek's face like a cat, inflicting a nasty wound. Then there was silence. Blu, puffing and panting and still completely incensed, then touched down and glared at his enemy as he, is face weeping blood from the new set of claw marks Blu had given him across the entire width of his face, then begin to struggle to lift his body up with his padded hands and feet. At first, Blu, Bellatrix, Connie, Bia, Stella and Sandalwood all looked on, thinking that Dalek was showing signs of surrendering, but what happened next proved them wrong, very wrong. With blood pouring from his claw marks and his legs struggling to hold his body up, shakily supporting his weight, Dalek's turret-like eyes then flared open and began to blaze even larger fires of wrath. Then an extremely loud hiss escaped his mouth; so loud that it echoed through the unlit trees and the sea of flames and also made Bellatrix, Connie, Bia, Stella and Sandalwood flinch violently. Blu looked on, his fury still consuming him and prepared for action, completely unfazed by Dalek's volcanic eruption in the form of the hiss as Dalek turned his now-apoplectic and untold wrathful glare towards him. However, before the chameleon could launch himself at Blu again which would result in another, perhaps more bloody and violent brawl, an explosion in a burning tree occurred behind Blu. Then a feathery comet, this time a cerulean one, erupted from that tree, zoomed around Blu and Dalek such that she was behind the latter and began to charge towards Dalek as fast as a bullet. Then before Dalek had chance to turn round, he was violently smashed in the side by the cerulean comet and thrown clean off the branch in the direction of a burning tree, the exact same one Dalek and flung Jewel into with his tongue.
Blu, the fires in his eyes being replaced by joy, watched on as Jewel, an extremely loud screech exploding from her beak and her eyes blazing teal firestorms; then charged at Dalek as the chameleon spun and careened towards the flaming tree. Then as soon as she was near Dalek, Blu's mate then released another volcanic screech, flared her claws and as she passed over the spinning chameleon, slashed them right over Dalek's back to land her final mark. Blu, along with Bellatrix, Sandalwood, Stella, Connie and Bia all flinched when they saw Jewel brutally claw Dalek. Then after Dalek had crashed into a cluster of leaves near the fire and after dealing with the wicked chameleon, Jewel swerved round and flew towards Blu, her anger dying down as she approached her mate. Then after sharing a 'well done' talon bump together, Blu and Jewel took off and approached Bellatrix, Sandalwood, Stella, Connie and Bia, who looked on and smiled at their remarkable dealing with Dalek. However, that relief would have to wait for the seven had noticed how close the fire was getting to them.
"Let's get outa here before those flames trap us," said Blu. Stella commanded Sandalwood to cling onto her breast fur while Connie and Bellatrix were handed back to Bia and Blu.
"Can I fly by myself, Mom?" asked Sandalwood.
"No, Sandy," said Stella, "You're too small to out-fly the fire. Wait until we carry you to that Aviary."
Sandalwood sighed and latched onto Stella's fur as she prepared to depart with Blu, Jewel and Bia, Bellatrix and Connie in Blu and Bia's talons respectively. However, before the three Spix macaws and the flying fox could leave, they heard a frightening sound which plunged their blood into ice. Dread welling, the heads of all seven of them whirled round and to their horror; they saw a small flock of black, brightly coloured beaked forms rush towards them, some of them carrying sticks lit with flames and with the parrot feathers tied to the ends, in their talons. A piercing scream erupted from Bellatrix, Sandalwood and Connie and Blu, Jewel, Stella and Bia shuddered violently as the small flock, which were a flock of toucan chicks, charged straight towards them, screams exploding from their mouths and the small orange orbs blazing on the sticks of the torch carriers.
"Don't those TOUCAN CHICKS EVER LEAVE US BE!?" snarled Bia in frustration.
"Never mind about that," snapped Blu as the little flock of now-feral toucan chicks approached them, "FLY LIKE THE WIIIND!"
And with that, the air shook as four pairs of wings, three blue feathered and the other grey-white membraned, flapped hard as Blu, Jewel, Bia and Stella, three of them carrying a terrified Sandalwood, Connie (who was injured with a broken wing) and Bellatrix, charged like comets and for their lives, in the direction of Tulio's Aviary as the small flock of toucan chicks, all screaming, then began to chase them. These chicks were obviously too dangerous for Blu and company to deal with.
As Blu and company charged away with the torch-carrying and screaming toucan chicks pursuing them, there was movement in the tree as it continued to be consumed by the fire. Dalek, his head and back severely bloodied from Blu and Jewel's savage attack on him, as well as that of Sandalwood before the chameleon broke Connie's wing, struggled along a branch as the flames consumed it. However, due to the extreme pain of his injuries and the loss of blood taking its toll on the chameleon, he had no chance of escaping alive. Dalek continued to struggle along the branch when suddenly, the branch above him, which had caught fire, creaked and then collapsed on top of the chameleon, crushing him and forming a burning grave for the evil parrot-detesting lizard and ending his psychotic quest to kill parrots once and for all.
