Hidden in some bushes

-Roberto: Are you sure this is a good idea Jewel?

-Jewel: Well...if I´m right, we can make him react by remembering him all his friendships and memories

-Rafael: But in that case, wouldn´t it be better to go all together?

-Jewel: I don´t think so, never underestimate a shadow, they are very strong, and more when they absorb energy

-Eva: So all the shadows absorb souls?

-Jewel: No, at least mine used to absorb anyone's physical and mental force, so that infected bird entered in depression and became extremely weak, however Blu's shadow absorbs the entire soul, which means he is more powerful...which means he has suffered more than me

-Roberto: Whoa...poor Blu

-Eva: You two had a sad past...

-Jewel: Yeah, kind of...anyways, right now we need to focus in rescuing Blu

-Felipe: I just hope Nico can handle him...

-Denim: So tell me my..."friend" you really think you can stop me all by your own?

-Nico: Ok...listen Blu, I know you are still in there somewhere so...hear me please...uh...r-remember when Pedro and me animated you to sing in front of everyone for the first time?...

-Denim: Of course that I remember! I was dying from the nerves, I was afraid and insecure! AND YOU STILL DIDNT CARE AND MADE ME SING ANYWAYS! *Punches in the face*

-Nico: AGH! W-we did care! And that´s why we did it, for you to defeat those nerves! Or...when you arrived first to Rio...P-Pedro and me were the ones who received you and...gave you some advices about girls...

-Denim: Grrrr, those advices...WERE UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! *Grabs him by the neck* I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! *Absorbs his soul*

-Roberto: Oh no! What do we do?!

-Jewel: We can do nothing for him until we rescue Blu

-Eva: Alright, is my turn to try!

-Rafael: I will go with you!

-Jewel: Good luck guys...

-Rafael: Hey bud, it´s me...your pal...um *ahem* listen Blu, you are not yourself right now, you would never hurt your friends!

-Denim: How many times do I have to say it...I´m not that weak and stupid nerd bird, im an improved version!

-Eva: Well, let me tell you that he is not weak, or neither stupid!

-Rafael: That´s right! He is the bravest bird I´ve met, AND my best friend! That friend who always wants to help everyone!

-Eva: Even if they treat him bad

-Denim: And that´s why he is so weak! He isn´t able to defend himself!

-Eva: He might not be so strong physically, but talking about spirit he is invincible!

-Rafael: Come on Blu, you can fight against him!

-Eva: We believe in you my friend!

-Blu: G-guys...

-Denim: Well, those were some emotive words...but I´m much stronger than him, so don´t even try to fight me... *absorbs their souls*

-Blu: Denim please stop!

-Denim: Hmmm, these souls are actually pretty delicious...I wonder if... *sniff* *sniff* so there is where you are hiding! GET OUT FROM THOSE BUSHES AND COME HERE!

-Roberto: *Whispers* Uh oh...what do we do now...?

-Jewel: ...We will need to get out...

-Felipe: Are you crazy?!

-Jewel: It will be worst if we don´t, trust me... *they all get out*

-Denim: So there you were all the time Jewel...

-Blu: Denim do not dare to touch any of them…

-Denim: Is funny how you think I'll listen to you Blu...so, here is the thing, we can make this the hard way or the easy way...just surrender and give me your souls

-Roberto: We will never do that!

-Denim: Hmm...*launches at him and grabs him by the beak*

-Felipe: Roberto!

-Denim: Since the very first time I saw you, I always wanted for this moment to arrive...

-Roberto: Blu, my friend, please...r-rememb-

-Denim: DONT EVEN TRY IT! YOU ARE ONE OF THE RESPONSIBLES OF ALL MY PAIN! *Absorbs soul* *Sigh* And now, speaking about responsibles... *pins Jewel to the ground by her neck*

-Jewel: AH! B-Blu...please react...I beg you...

-Blu: LEAVE HER ALONE DENIM!

-Denim: SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!...You know Jewel, you have always been this way...you always act like you were strong, but in risky moments, you are the weakest bird ever… *chokes her*

-Jewel: S...st...op...

-Blu: DENIM STOP IT! STOP IT PLEASE!...

-Denim: Or else what Blu? You have been telling me to stop all this time, but you really can´t do anything!

-Blu: ...

-Denim: Oh I´m really enjoying to see you this way Jewel...unfortunately... *stops choking her*

-Jewel: *Cough cough cough*

-Denim: I need you alive to get your soul... *starts to absorb her soul*

-Felipe: NO! STOP IT! *Launches to Denim and immobilizes him*

-Denim: UGH, GET OFF ME!

-Felipe: SHUT UP! JEWEL RUN, YOU NEED TO GET OUT!

-Jewel: B-but...y-you...

-Felipe: DONT CARE ABOUT ME, GO AWAY!

Jewel began to walk away struggling and tired from there

-Denim: NO! YOU WON´T GO TOO FAR JEWEL, I GOT HALF OF YOUR SOUL!

That´s right, she was half infected so she could barely move. She was feeling weak, tired and she lost half of her memories. Fortunately at the end she could get far enough from there.

-Denim: AHH! THIS CAN´T BE, I FINALLY HAD HER AT MY REACH! AND IS ALL THANKS TO YOU! *Kicks Felipe in the stomach*

-Felipe: OUCH! *Gets off from Denim*

-Denim: I finally had her...the strongest soul in this stupid jungle, and thanks to you she escaped!

-Felipe: Hehe...you are welcome

-Denim: Grrrr you...*whips him to a tree* let me take a look at your soul alright? *Absorbs a bit* Hmmm, hey, that´s actually pretty good...*absorbs half of his soul*

-Felipe: U-ugh...s-stop it...aw...

-Denim: Why would I stop? You've got a strong soul you know? It will help me to find her easier *absorbs a bit*

-Felipe: A-ah...y-you...won´t...g-get her...

-Denim: *Absorbs all*

-Felipe: y... *gets unconscious*

-Denim: Hmmm, whoa, what a good buffet I got today...and still isn´t half night yet...hahaha

-Blu: Why? ...Why you did this?

-Denim: Seriously Blu? I already told you becau-

-Blu: WHY YOU DID IT WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY?!

-Denim: Because I needed their souls too for-

-Blu: YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULDN´T HURT THEM AT ALL!

-Denim: Yeah yeah...I know but...I had to...

-Blu: No you didn´t have to, you didn´t have to do it at all...*sigh* why do you love to take others' hearts? ...Even after taking a million, you still haven´t got any heart of your own... *sniff*

-Denim: ...

Meanwhile...

-Jewel: *Pant pant* I...can´t...*pant* any...more... *falls to the ground* aw...I never thought the soul was THAT important... *sigh* ...what do I do now...I failed...I failed to Blu, to the kids, to my father, to my aunt...and to my friends... *sob* I failed...to everyone...Blu was right...I always act like I´m strong but...*sob* I´m weak *sob* I´m a weak stupid and useless coward... *sob* I´m...a failure...
