Witnessing The Big Game
Yep you heard it right ladies and gentlemen! We are now seeking the sights on RDJ planning to infiltrate the arena where he sits amongst the crowd watching the match from 'The Samba Club vs The Jongo Club' don't forget that RDJ was there for every big event so he can follow the movements of his enemies. So why do you think that he would be there to watch the game? He was there to stick to the shadows and follow Julio's behaviour! So without further ado…let's get to the chapter!
"Ahhh…that felt good!" RDJ chuckled as he sat back down on the seat besides Lila and got ready to tell the next part of the story.
"So…you were telling us that you are gonna see Julio for the very first time? When did that happen?" Eva asked the next question as she rose her wing up in the air. "Did you bump into him by accident or something? Or was it all intentional?"
"I met him before he went to the match with his team! Obviously at first I knew that he was Julio from the descriptions that I got from Eli before his death! So all I had to do was just watch his movements and see what happens! Even if it meant me sitting in the crowd of birds watching the game…"
A couple months later…
RDJ was currently sitting in his parents old hollow, going through some of the plans that he had regarding his next target. Which he personally identified as Julio the evil military macaw. But this time, he wasn't going to kill his target right away! He needed to know more information on the whereabouts of Zenon and Armando! As he had come so far now, and he's nearing the end…or so he thinks for this moment in time.
"Now…Julio is one of the associates hired by Armando to take over every club in Brazil! But how do I get close to him without revealing my intentions?" The blue and gold male thought to himself as he sat there brainstorming what he was going to do next. "Hmmm, if I can get close enough while he's talking to his team members…then maybe there is a way that I can sneak close enough?"
"Erm…RDJ?" A female voice was heard from just outside of the hollow, that revealed to be a concerned yellow macaw female, who RDJ got to know quite well in the last couple of months. "Are you able to talk at the moment?"
"Ahh, Georgia! Come on in!" He smiled at her as he put the map away and placed the pins aside while waiting for Georgia to come into the hollow. "What can I do for you?"
"Actually, I think I might have a lead on your Julio front!" Georgia responded happily while rubbing her wingtips together. "I learned this from a military macaw who tried to hit on me, but that clearly was never gonna happen!"
"Oh wow! That's excellent work Georgia! What's the new lead?" RDJ smiled at her with praise as he couldn't wait to hear what she's got for him. "You're like a very intelligent detective!" He beamed full of praise, making her giggle and blush.
"Rumours have it that himself and his team will be going to the Maracanã stadium to play against the team from the samba club! Zeek has already took the liberty of finding out where he's going to be before the game! They are meeting at the man made structure in the jungle! If you hurry, you might be able to get there before the meeting is over!" Georgia responded with a warm smile. "Good luck RDJ! Hopefully you'll be able to find that bastard and make him pay, for what he had done!"
"Thank you very much for the intel! I'll get there as fast as I can!" RDJ responded contently, as he watched Georgia leave so he could prepare his next attack.
"Obviously I wasn't going to just fly up to him and ask him who he was or what he does! I would have to be more discreet than that, and act like I didn't know what was going on! Otherwise he will immediately know what was going on and he would cancel the game…"
RDJ flapped his wings as fast as he could, to travel through the jungle, weaving in and out between the several trees that surrounded him.
He decided to keep his hood on to not gain any suspicion from the men he was following! So he had to make it perfectly clear that he was going to just find out who Julio was, and get the information needed on him.
"Okay…there he is!" The blue and gold male thought to himself, as he saw that the military macaw in question was currently having a meeting with his two sons…Douglas being one of them! "Ahhh, the guy from the bar in the samba club! He must have been working undercover to find out the secrets of the samba club!"
Meanwhile…
"Now remember the plan guys…we have to beat them and take over the club! It's the most popular club in Brazil and it must be ours!" Julio explained to his team with an evil grin. "If any of you have any concerns…please tell me now!"
"But what if they are too strong? Nightfly is there, and he is the best team player!" One of the males spoke in a fearful tone. "Plus, isn't our leader after some bird that has the EXACT same name as him?"
"Don't worry my friend! It will only be a matter of time until the club is ours! We just have to hit them where it hurts! Now…follow me!" Julio demanded as he was about to take off, but RDJ wanted to talk to him first, by flying out of the bushes and vastly approaching him.
"Excuse me sir? Might you point me in the direction of the Maracanã?" RDJ spoke in a German accent to avoid being detected. "Ahhh, this country is…hot! Damn Brazilian weather!"
"Who the fuck are you? I've never seen you before?" Julio remarked as he cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Are you one of the contacts from Berlin?"
"Yes! Armando actually sent me to watch you play, to make sure that I deliver the report back to him! Is that a problem my friend?" RDJ responded with a malicious glare, but on the inside he was chuckling hysterically. Douglas however continued to fix his eyes on him.
"Not at all! In fact, follow us and we will take you to him!" Julio smiled at him and took off to fly the stadium.
As everyone took off to fly, Douglas stayed behind because he instantly knew who he was.
"You're the guy from the samba club? Why didn't you tell me you were on our side?" He asked him curiously while tilting his head to the side.
"You really think I'd give up my identity like that? I'm not that stupid!" RDJ responded brutally while narrowing his eyes at him.
"Good point! Alright, follow me to the stadium!" Douglas beamed as he flapped his wings and flew in the same direction as the others.
"Oh…I plan to!" RDJ followed the others to the stadium, but he dared not to show his face! The last thing he wanted was to blow his cover before finding out more information on Julio and his men.
"I successfully managed to follow them directly into the stadium. That was the first time I heard Nightfly's name being mentioned! Didn't know who he was at the time, but I tried to see how he fitted the profile of Armando! It was only there and then, that I found out the real connection..."
1 Hour Later…
RDJ stood behind one of the podiums in the stadium, checking on the whereabouts of Julio and his team.
Mainly his eyes were fixed on the samba club, because he intended to see if their team had a chance of beating the Jongo Club team.
"Hmmm, if only none of this ever happened to me? I probably would be playing up front for the samba club! But that Jewel is doing a pretty decent job!" He thought to himself as he admired the way that they were playing. "It's funny how…she intrigues me so much? I know she is in a relationship with that…Blu fella? But why am I intrigued in what she was doing?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a fight had started on the pitch and that everyone was involved. "Hang on…why isn't the referee doing anything about…and now she's doing something! Typical!" RDJ scoffed as he saw that a scarlet macaw female had announced that it was half time. "Great, this is just what I need to try and regather my own thoughts!"
RDJ placed his items on the floor and took a deep breath in and out, while trying to relax.
Until a certain bird flew straight past him and nearly knocked him off the podium.
"HEY! WATCH IT!" RDJ shouted in annoyance while waving his fist in the air.
The bird in question was a female blue jay who didn't even respond to his comment.
"HEY! WILL A CROWD OF SUPPORTERS CHANGE YOUR MIND?!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What? Crowd of…oh no!" Suddenly RDJ jumped out of the way, as a lot of birds came flying straight past him to get into the stadium. They were all flying in a huge flock of birds, that the blue and gold male widened his eyes in surprise. "Wow! You know what…I could use this to my advantage!" He thought to himself, as he saw a group of female hyacinth macaws were just about to fly past him, and without being seen, he managed to slip into the group.
The females were slightly confused as to why a new random bird has joined their group, but they weren't against it! Especially because they were in awe of his physique.
"Well now? Aren't you a…fine specimen?" One of the females giggled as the group of them all sat in one of the rows in the stand. "Are you not from around here too?"
"Actually…I'm from here! I just…came to watch my friends play!" RDJ softly responded as he also sat down and kept his eyes on Julio. Who at this point had his jaw dropped, while staring at the newcomers. "So…what are all of you doing here? I take it this isn't a social visit?"
"Actually, we are here to watch the samba club beat the jongo club! We weren't going to come originally because we hate what they've done to us! But now we have a…better reason!" Another female seductively whispered as she rubbed one of her breasts sensually to tease him…which of course didn't work! "Because we get to sit next to your fine ass!"
"So you girls also had your club taken over? By Julio and his team?" RDJ tried to change the subject as quickly as possible, to avoid talking about this incredibly uncomfortable situation.
"More or less? What's your excuse?" She responded with a sweet smile.
"He Erm…He raped and killed my girlfriend!" RDJ softly lied, and continued to gaze at the bird in question.
"Well…are you looking for a new one?" She whispered to him softly, and massaged his chest with her wing. "Because I can do so much to you, that you won't be flying for a week…"
"OK! YOU HAVE TO STOP SLAPPING ME!" RDJ shouted at Lila who groaned before walking over to the bar.
"You know that I get jealous when you talk about other women throwing themselves at you!" Lila responded quite annoyed by the comment he just made.
"Yes, but if things did happen, it would only have been for business! When I did with Florence, she enjoyed it more than I did! Because I didn't have feelings for her!" He argued back, trying to get her to sit down again.
"Just skip to the part where you knew that something was up! What did you do next?" Tiny asked curiously while staring at him.
"Let me guess…" Lila sarcastically commented before Tiago brought her another drink.
"Actually…I had something more important to deal with…"
20 Mins Later…
"God this game is getting brutal! Why didn't you ask to get involved in this?" One of the crowd members asked RDJ who had his eyes fixed on…Douglas for some reason?
"Hang on a second…what the bloody hell is he doing?" He spoke to nobody in particular as he got up from his seat. "Oh shit…he's going for the…"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jewel screamed in agony, and collapsed on the floor holding her talon in pain.
"Oh shit! That's not good!" He thought to himself as he was about to leave the stands, but one of the females tugged on his wing. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"Come on? I've been hitting on you all game, you gotta admit there's a vibe between us?" She whispered sensually and started to move closer to him. But he managed to come up with a quick excuse to slip away.
"I'm gay! So sorrrrrryyyyyy! Not interested!" RDJ beamed in a feminine tone, and tried to look like a feminine guy. But she instantly saw through this lie.
"Haha You're so funny! I know you're straight! Just come have a night with me and see how you feel about that!" She responded sensually, before attempting to move his wing to her cloaca. But he managed to repel and shove her away slightly.
"I'm really not interested in dating anyone! I have too little time on my wings to pick up bimbo birds at a football match!" RDJ spat rudely and flew away from the female, who immediately gasped and burst into tears. "Bloody hell that was brutal! But why won't anything go through their heads! I prefer to be alone and focus all my attention on my work!"
"I take it that was before you met me then? Hehe!" Lila giggled, while RDJ just blushed in embarrassment.
"Anyway…I thought that after Diante and Raul took Jewel away to treat her injury I would follow them! Mainly because I was also concerned about her well being! Because when I met her a few months ago I wanted to make sure that she was safe, because she reminded me a lot of Florence! Fiery and passionate about life!"
A Few Hours Later…
"Okay, I gotta grab some stuff from the medical kit that we stashed at the beach. You gonna come with while Jewel rests?" Diante spoke to Raul who nodded his head in agreement.
As the two hawks left, Jewel laid down on the stretcher wheezing in pain.
"Oh god…ouch! This hurts so much! Why did Douglas do that to me?" Jewel cried as she gripped her talon with her wing.
"Knock knock! Anyone home?" A voice was heard from outside of the tree. That revealed to be RDJ…who Jewel knew as Emilio.
"Oh…Emilio! Sorry you have to see me like this! Just got a nasty tackle from the game! What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in months!" The blue spix's female winced as she rubbed her talon.
"Here…let me see!" RDJ responded as he walked over to Jewel and examined her talon with his wings. "Right…well it doesn't appear to be broken! Might just be a fracture! You're probably in good wings though with those white hawks!"
"Yeah…Erm…ima…" Jewel was currently in a trance, while gazing at the muscles on RDJ's body. But luckily she managed to snap out of her thoughts quickly.
"Oh, you mean Diante and Raul? Yeah, they are gonna help me with my injury! So what brings you here?"
"Well I've been…busy lately with work! And I noticed you being carried away on a stretcher, so I thought I'd come by and see if you were okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be okay! I suppose I will recover…"
"Who the hell are you?!" RDJ and Jewel both turned to the entrance to see the same female blue jay who almost knocked RDJ over at the stadium.
"Relax Zara, this is my friend Emilio! He just came by to check on me!" Jewel reassured her new friend, while RDJ extended his wing for a wing shake.
"Emilio…Zara was it?" RDJ smiled at the blue jay while she smiled back in response.
"Yeah it's Zara! So what brings you by?"
"I actually wanted to ask you about that Julio? Do you know much about him?"
"Unfortunately not! It's the first time that we met him face to face!" Zara replied while shrugging her shoulders. "What's up with the cloak?"
"Oh he had his eye ripped out by a happy eagle! So that's why he wears that to cover his face!" Jewel remembered the lie that RDJ told her to cover his identity.
"Yeah well…I better get going! Feel better soon Jewel!" RDJ beamed as he flapped his wings and flew out of the hollow. Leaving the two girls alone to talk.
"After my encounter with Jewel, I was hoping she'd tell me more about Julio herself! But unfortunately, I didn't get the info that I wanted!" RDJ responded disappointedly while shaking his head from side to side.
"I still can't believe our mom didn't recognise you years later! Surely she would have recognised the muscles?" Carla pointed out while raising her wing.
"I thought that too! But then again, that was the last time I saw her for two years don't forget! Well…the last time I spoke to her that is! But after my encounter at the hollow, I went to the samba club two hours later to find out more on this Douglas fella! But little did I know…that the club was currently in flames when I got there…"
2 Hours Later…
"Okay…So I better get to the samba club to find more intel on this Douglas guy! Last thing I need is..wait…what the hell?" RDJ spoke in surprise as he flapped his wings as fast as he could. "Is that…fire?"
The blue and gold male gazed at the sight in front of him, and what he saw made him go wide eyed! The samba club was currently on fire!
"Fuck! I bet this was Julio's doing?!" He thought to himself as he got a closer look at the flaming building.
But before he had the chance to get closer, a huge explosion emerged from the building.
"Shit! That's gonna gain a lot of attention!"
"NOOOOOOOO! DOUGLAS!" RDJ turned to his left to see the same group of birds from the match, but this time he didn't recognise all of them.
"That must be Nightfly! The one that Julio was talking about?" He thought to himself as he stuck to the shadows to avoid being seen.
"I waited in that tree hollow for almost half an hour, just watching them talk about what happened that day! I even saw Sandro making a run for it out of the city! My intention was to follow him…but thanks to the conversations that I heard in the stadium…I knew that my next destination in the possible future would be São Paulo!" RDJ explained in full detail, making his audience more intrigued by the minute.
"So did you say anything to the teammates?" Eva asked the next question as she sat comfortably.
"No…I had to stick to the shadows! I had to remain as far away from Julio as I could! Mainly because he wasn't my intended target! But…I did manage to find one of the team members of The Jongo Club! A young fella who unfortunately…slipped out of a tree hollow…
1 Hour Later…
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Julio is dead! Our team manager is dead! What do I do now? Do I stay here and forget this ever happened? Or do I go back to São Paulo and live my life?" A young military macaw, probably a young adult, was panicking while pacing up and down in a tree hollow. "I can't exactly go home now can I? I mean…what will Omar think of me?"
"Omar? Is that your other leader?" Soon a new voice emerged from behind him, and he jumped out of his skin. He rolled to the back of the hollow and picked up a stick, pointing it at the intruder.
"Stay away from me! I got a…I got a stick! A big fucking stick! And I'm…and I'm not afraid to use it! You don't wanna mess with me!" The young adult stuttered in fear as he gazed at a bird in a cloak, who was of course RDJ.
"Oh no…a stick! What are you gonna do? Poke my eyes out?" RDJ mocked him as he took a step towards him. "Now…you are gonna tell me everything that you know!"
"Or what? You're gonna kill me? I've heard about you…You're that contact from Berlin right? Or did you make that up?" He shouted in anger as he swung the stick around in front of him. He looked like a teenager that was high on drugs.
"Put the stick down you moron! I just want information! Then you are free to leave! I won't warn you a third time!" RDJ groaned as he pulled his machete out of his holster. "Or do I have to convince you otherwise?"
"Look, what do you want from me? I don't know anything!" The young adult cried as he dropped the stick on the floor.
"What a shame…because I was really getting to like you!" RDJ chuckled sarcastically before picked the poor bird up by the throat, punning him up against a tree. "Alright dude, you got me! I'm not a contact from Germany! I am an assassin! I need you to tell me about Armando! Plus who is this Omar?"
"Armando? He's the leader of our entire organisation!"
"Our? What do you mean our?"
"I mean he hired Julio and his brother Omar to take over every club in Brazil! He knew that by doing so he would have complete control! Wait…you're the assassin who took down all of his associates across the world? You killed them all?"
"Indeed…Your point is?" RDJ replied with no patience, glaring at the young macaw. "What's your name?"
"André…and my point is…Why are you after Julio and Omar…when Nigel killed your brother! Fred…was that his name?" André chuckled maliciously as he saw the look in the blue and gold male's eyes. "Ahhhh, so you didn't know eh? I bet you also didn't know that Zenon is currently hiding out in São Paulo before he returns to The Amazon!"
"Keep talking…" RDJ tightened his grip on Andre's chest feathers, making him wince in pain and discomfort. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF MY BROTHER?!"
"That Nigel murdered him months after your family was killed! While you were busy wasting your time training, he got the chance to travel to find the bird responsible for their deaths! And now…you…are…all alone! What is it you call yourself? RDJ?"
At this point, the blood was boiling in RDJ's body and he started shaking violently.
"If you weren't so helpful…I would kill you right now! But I now need to know…where…is Zenon?!" RDJ screamed at him, before punching him in the face. "Speak you spineless coward!"
"São Paulo…or are you fucking death?!" Andre spat in his face and chuckled evilly. What a big mistake that was.
"Hmmm, charming! Enjoy your fall!" RDJ growled, before drop kicking him out of the tree hollow, making him land on his back, before flying away in fear. "Ahhhh…I guess São Paulo will be my next destination?"
"So did you go straight there that day? Or did you decide to stick around at first?" Bia asked more intrigued, as all the kids scooted closer to hear the rest of the story.
"Actually, I went back to the hollow to plan my next move…but…I did bump into a certain someone on the way, who I had severely upset earlier on..."
RDJ glided through the sky as fast as he could, so he could go back to plan his next steps.
But as he got closer to where his hollow was…he heard a certain hyacinth female crying on one of the tree branches.
"Sniff…I'm not a bimbo bird! I'm a girl who just wants a companion! What's wrong with me?!" She burst into tears again and rested her head against the bark of the tree.
"Oh god…don't turn around…don't turn around…Oh fuck!" The blue and gold male turned back around to face the female, and landed on the same branch as her. Making her a little startled by his arrival, and tried to leave because she felt like he was going to insult her again.
"Don't worry…I'm not gonna try and hit on you again! I'll be leaving!" The female beamed as she went to spread her wings, but he tugged on her wing to stop her from departing the tree.
"Actually, I'm not here to insult you again! I'm actually here…to apologise!" He smiled at her sincerely while rubbing her wingtip.
"Why were you so mean to me? You could have just said that you didn't want to be with me! That would have hurt my feelings much less than calling me a bimbo!" She wipes away her tears while continuing to gaze at him.
"What is your name miss?"
"Rose…like the flower!" She responded in a croaky voice, swallowing the saliva in her throat. "What's your name?"
"RDJ…like the city! But you can't tell anyone this! It's mainly because I'm…I'm an assassin!"
"You're an assassin? I've heard about you! You're that hero who flew all over the world taking out Armando's enemies?"
"You know who Armando is?"
"Of course! He was the reason why my club was taken over by military macaws! I had to stay somewhere else in São Paulo while the rest of my team decided to leave completely!" Rose responded sadly as she lowered her head.
"Do you know anyone by the name of Nigel? A white cockatoo?" RDJ asked her seriously as he lifted her head up.
"Yes…he's in Rio at the moment! Only problem is…I don't exactly know where in Rio?" Rose replied as she swallowed her sadness and gazed at him. "Look, I know you don't want to be more than friends…but can I at least…"
"No…I'm sorry! But I don't feel any emotions anymore!" RDJ simply replied as he flapped his wings and flew away from the saddened female, who sighed heavily in defeat and proceeded to find her friends.
"After what happened in Paris with Florence, I felt so put off by old feelings for Shira…that I didn't know how to love again! But of course…it wasn't always going to be sunshine and rainbows in Rio…especially since I followed up on the lead in São Paulo…"
Okay, there is a reason why this chapter is fairly short! It's only because we are seeing what RDJ is doing during the events of 'The Samba Club vs The Jongo Club' plus of you haven't guessed already, Rose will be making a return in the future sequel! But…who's side do you think she's going to be on? Plus, Jewel and RDJ have had a few conversations already, and Jewel has no idea that Emilio was RDJ all along! I wonder how she will react when she returns from Egypt! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter…because the next one will be set on the day of the battle at São Paulo stadium! See you all soon!
