Battlefield
Kludd and Otulissa were with Finn, fighting the good fight against Underlings, when the demonic birds stopped.
Nico, Pedro, Bia and Carla were with Rafael, fighting and trying to heal his broken wing.
All across the battlefield, the Underlings froze before turning into black dust and disappearing.
Our heroes were silent, until a russian owl got onto a tree, "Мы выигрываем! Демоны упали!"(We win! The demons have fallen!).
The ice claws roared in victorious joy, followed by the guardians and Pure Ones then the raptors of North America before the Rio Army cheered.
One of the Russian birds brought out a boom box and began to play the Soviet Anthem, while some of Finn's men began to cheer.
Finn was dancing until he saw a motorcycle with a blue macaw on it drive out from the jungle.
Finn, Kludd and Otulissa recognized the macaw, "BLU!", they all yelled simultaneously while running to Magnus, who slowed down.
"Magnus, what happened!?", asked Otulissa as she and Kludd grabbed Blu's body off of Magnus, who then transformed, "Blu fought Nightfly, and this is the aftermath".
Finn nodded before turning to some of his men, "Get a cot, and alert the medics!", his men nodded and flew away to do as they were told.
Finn turned his attention back to a bleeding and broken Blu, who was still unconscious.
"Kludd, Otulissa, get him to the medical tent. QUICKLY!", declared Finn with the 2 owls in front of him nodding.
The commotion attracted Bia and Carla, who were left wide eyed at the state of their father.
"Dad?", whispered Bia as her father was carted off.
Kludd picked up Blu's head, while Otulissa picked up his talons, they then began to run through the battlefield.
Finn cleared a path, "Out of the way! Wounded bird, coming through!", the soldiers were nodding and getting to the side, before going wide eyed at the condition of Blu.
Some birds even followed the wounded warrior, wanting to see the full extent of his damages.
After a while they finally arrived at the medical tent, the medics ready to receive the wounded bird.
Blu was laid on a wooden table, several doctors gathering around him.
One of the birds plugged several heart monitors, IVs and other pieces of medical equipment into him.
"HE'S FADING!", said one doctor who read Blu's heartbeat, which was very weak.
"He's lost blood, I need O positive blood, QUICK!", yelled another.
"Magnus, I need an X-ray", asked one doctor who looked at the Mecha Macaw.
Magnus nodded and scanned our hero, before displaying the X-ray and photos of his insides on the wall with his eyes.
"Dear god", murmured one doctor.
Blu had broken all his ribs, all organs except for the heart and one lung were punctured by the ribs.
He was missing parts of his spinal vertebrae and had a seemingly endless amount of bruises, cuts and burns.
"Someone get some anesthetic. We got a surgery to commence", said another doctor.
Jungle
Alex and Skyler picked up Josef's body, beginning to walk back to base.
Rico and Zain were being helped by The Tiagos, who had just recovered from the fight.
Jewel was nowhere to be found, she had flown ahead of everyone else.
Nobody objected, they understood her worry.
The Tiagos transformed into their bike modes to ferry the wounded and dead back to their camp, with Rico on Mace Tiago, Alex and Skyler on Bow Tiago and Zain on Sword Tiago and Josef's body on Spear Tiago.
The group then sped off, the dust they kicked up carrying away the remains of Nightfly.
They bobbed and weaved through the trees, Josef's body nearly falling off.
Skyler noticed this , "Tiago! Be careful!".
After a quick drive they arrived to the clearing, most of the birds having began caring for the dead and wounded.
The larger birds, like hawks and eagles, carried the dead while the smaller birds, elf owls and swallows etc, organised burials and built tombstones for those who had fallen in battle.
But they saw Nico and Pedro carrying Rafael to the medical tent, so they followed their friends.
Spear Tiago first went to the designated morgue area to drop off Josef before following the group.
Our heroes followed Nico and Pedro until they got to the medical tent, to see Jewel with her daughters outside.
Alex and Skyler hopped off Bow Tiago, who transformed and stretched.
"God, someone remind me to get my joints oiled", he murmured.
Rico and Zain got off Mace and Sword Tiago, who returned to their bird modes.
"Amen to that brother", said Mace Tiago, "What I wouldn't give to have the dirt in my axels cleaned out".
Their attention was drawn to Jewel, who was lightly sobbing.
Alex was worried now, Jewel would only be crying if things… went downhill.
He was about to ask what happened, but Skyler beat him to the punch.
"Jewel, what's wrong?", she asked.
Jewel shook her head, "He's missing pieces of his back. Organs are punctured and he's lost almost all his blood".
Alex was about to ask how he was doing, but that was when a doctor came out from the tent.
The doctor was military macaw, his wings bloodied thanks to the battle and helping Blu.
Jewel instantly turned to the doctor, "Howismyhusband? Isthereanychanceofrecovery?", she asked very quickly.
"Ma'am, MA'AM. I need you to calm down. We've managed to stabilise Blu's condition, but it seems he will never walk or move again. Thanks to his missing spinal vertebrae", the doctor scanned the expressions of the birds around him, noting their surprised or glumm expressions.
"I'm sorry", the doctor then returned to the tent, "Unless someone is willing to give up walking for their friend, he's confined to his bed".
Mace Tiago looked at Jewel, "Uh mom, there may be a way to help Blu", Jewel looked him straight in the eye, "What's your idea?".
Tiago had a nervous face as he gestured to the battlefield, to the temporary morgue.
Rico wore a face of disgust, "No. You are not going to do what I think you will, right?".
2 weeks later
Blu POV
Pain, another sensation I have grown accustomed to over the years.
But this pain, this pain was unbearable.
From the moment I regained consciousness, all I felt was pain.
I lay there on a bird sized bed, writhing in agony.
From my talons to the very tip of my beak, agony reigned supreme.
When I did awake, I scanned the room I was in.
I was in an actual hospital room, not a medical tent.
The faint aroma of anesthetic clouded flooded my nostrils, the aroma was mixed with a small trace of iron, of blood.
I looked to my left, my back screaming in pain, and spotted a tray of bird sized medical equipment.
Smme objects, like the scalpels, were still bloody.
It was now I noticed that I was not alone in the room.
On my left, laying in a bed, was a military macaw who was hooked up to life support.
On my left was a Harpy Eagle, with his right leg missing.
I heard a slight creaking sound, and turned to the door.
The door was human sized, and was made of oak.
In walked 3 Blue and Gold macaws, seeming to be doctors.
One of the doctors noticed Blu, "Ah, Blu. It seems you've finally woken up".
Blu tried to wave but felt his wings scream in pain, he looked to see they were wrapped in bandages.
In fact, almost his entire body was covered in bandages.
He would crack a joke about being a mummified pharaoh if he wasn't in such brutal pain.
The doctor walked up to him, and Blu decided to ask a question.
"Uh, doc. Where am I?", he asked, still surveying his surroundings.
The doctor chuckled, "This is the Rio Army Hospital. We basically commandeered several abandoned warehouses in the jungle and converted them into medical centers for the army, the equipment was 'donated' or 'borrowed', but that's beside the point. My name is doctor Carlos, now I must take down your life signs and take a blood test. Please be patient", doctor Carlos then proceeded to write down our hero's medical information on a piece of paper.
Blu sighed, noticing a TV sitting about 8 feet from his bed.
It seemed quite old, having 2 antennas sprouting from the top, and being square.
"Hey, doctor Carlos, is that TV working?", he asked while gesturing at it.
Carlos gazed at the television, "yeah, sure".
He then flew to the huge box and flipped a switch on it, resulting in bright images beginning to cover the screen.
The current show was a new episode of family guy, "Nice", whispered Blu, not wanting other birds to know he enjoys dark humour.
The episode was normal, Peter shenanigans, Brian thinks he's good but is bad and Stewie makes inappropriate jokes.
Blu notice done cut away Peter did.
"For god sakes Brian", said Peter, "You're more annoying than a macaw".
The cutaway was of a spix macaw, continuously yelling before another one walked up to it.
"Dude, shut up", said the new macaw, "No, fuck you", replied the original, yelling macaw.
"Classic Family Guy", chuckled Blu, but he then realized something.
He had passed out in Africa, but now he was back in Rio.
That lead to another question, 'How long have I been out?'.
He was about to ask Doctor Carlos, who was still taking down information, this.
But the blue and gold macaw read his mind, "If you're going to ask how long you were out, you were in a coma", this comment got a reaction from our hero and it wasn't even related.
"How many died in Africa?", he asked.
Carlos shook his head, "The official number is hovering at about 250,000 birds dead in total".
Blu, somehow, slumped deeper into his bed, "So Nightfly was right, death follows me everywhere I go".
Carlos dropped his papers, "OH, I have to inform your family that you're awake. Quite frankly most birds would be in a coma for several more months after your beatdown", the macaw then ran off to the door, landing on the handle and then leaving, most likely to Rio Army high command.
Blu continued to watch the TV, now showing a movie.
But Blu didn't pay attention, he just milled over the words of Nightfly before death.
Africa
Jewel was with the rest of our heroes, helping clean the battlefield of dead birds and continuing to heal those wounded, not to mention the hundreds of birds that had returned home to rebuild their homes.
The morgue was still full of bodies, waiting to be laid to rest.
Jewel was planning on letting each faction's men be laid to rest in their native ways.
The Guardians of Ga'Hoole and Pure Ones would burn their bodies, while keeping a feather to remember them by.
The Raptor Corp and Frozen Fjord would bury their men while the Ice Claws and Russians would put their bodies on an oil doused raft before shooting it with flaming arrows.
Jewel was using her plant powers to bring back some of the destroyed vegetation when the sound of an engine roaring filled her ears.
SHe turned to see Magnus, who quickly transformed into a robot and looked at her, "He's awake", stated the mecha macaw.
Jewel understood what he meant and quickly nodded to Magnus, who used his nanobots to create a portal gun.
He fired green portal into a tree, "Let's go", he and Jewel quickly jumped through the portal.
Upon exiting the portal they found themselves outside the 3 warehouses that made up the Rio Army Hospital.
The Tiago's, Bia and Carla were already there, having been in Rio during Blu's recovery.
"Hey mom", greeted Mace Tiago, "How are you doing?".
Jewel shrugged, "I've been well. But let's go see your father".
Her kids nodded and followed her into the hospital.
Blu's room
Blu was still watching TV, but mostly thinking about Nightfly's words.
"Tomada, Sorrel, Scorcher, Luca, Steeler Santa, Josef, Lukhas, god knows how many others. I was the cause of their death. Death really does follow me around", Blu was snapped from his thoughts by the opening of the door.
Through the door came his family, Jewel instantly running to Blu.
"Blu!", she wrapped her wings around her mate, who felt a twinge of pain creep up from his feet to his neck.
'Wait, my feet', he thought, 'but my spine was pulled out'.
Blu tried to wiggle his toes, and succeeded.
'What the fuck?', he was so busy with his thoughts, he didn't notice Jewel trying to talk to him.
"Hello? Earth to Blu? Are you okay?", her words slurred together in Blu's mind before he got back to reality.
"Oh, sorry Jewel", he said, slightly embarrassed at his actions.
"I didn't mean to zone out, I was just thinking about my… injuries", he added.
"Well, what is your question?", asked Jewel, secretly hoping it wasn't what she thought he would ask.
"How can I move, I mean my back is broken. Is it not?", Jewel put on a nervous face.
"Let's just say, even in death, Josef is helping you".
Blu pushed himself slightly up and ran a feather along his back, feeling a scar.
Blu leaned back down, "Well, in other news. How have you guys been?".
Jewel shrugged, "Spent the last 2 weeks cleaning up the battlefi-", "TWO WEEKS!?".
Magnus walked up and nodded, "Yep, you took one hell of a beatdown, but you managed to kill Nightfly".
Blu's happy demeanor fell, "yeah, at the cost of 200,000 good men. Death follows me everywhere I go".
Jewel didn't agree, "My love, we are just unlucky".
Blu now snapped, "Unlucky!? Does that mean that Tomada, Sorrel, Scorcher and Luca were 'unlucky' when I murdered them?! Does that make the 200,000 birds who died in Africa 'unlucky'?! The answer is no. I am a danger to everyone around me. Now I realise it, Never was in danger, I was the danger".
Bow Tiago stepped up, "No, dad. You fought the evil, but victory sometimes comes with a price".
Blu looked at his son, "A price, I'm not willing to pay. That is why I've decided *sigh*, I'm leaving".
"WHAT?", asked Jewel, eyes wide open at this comment, "Why?".
"Think about it, if I stay here I'm just putting you in danger. I mean, Nightfly killed Lukhas, Soren, Tiago and Josef, because of me. So I figure, if I'm not here, the danger won't chase you, it will chase me".
Sword Tiago walked up, "At least stay for the party, we can have it a last hurrah before you leave".
Blu grinned, "Hell yeah I'm staying for this party".
Magnus' metal face wore a smile, "Very well, we should probably let you rest. You need to heal".
"Actually, I've been asleep for 2 weeks, I'm ready to party", Blu tried to stand up, but his body screamed in pain.
He fell back into his bed, "On second thought, I might stay here".
1 week later
8 PM
Copacabana Beach
It was decided that the victory party be held in Rio, party capital of the world, specifically the beach
Birds from everywhere were dancing and singing, The Pure Ones, Guardians, Rio Army, Frozen Fjord, Raptor Corp and remnants of the ice claws.
On the water was a small boat, doused in oil, with a black bird on it.
Josef, lay on the small raft, floating out to sea.
But Blu stood on the beach, a bow and flaming arrow in his wings.
Next to him was Jewel, watching the boat.
Blu aimed the bow, pulling back the arrow.
He closed one eye, focusing on the boat.
After several seconds of lining up the shot, he fired.
The flame danced across the night sky, being the only light for hundreds of meters.
The sea was dark, until the arrow struck the boat and lit it on fire.
The boat continued outwards, glowing brighter as it distanced itself from the shore.
Josef's body slowly burned away, becoming nothing more than ash in minutes.
Blu threw the bow into the sea, allowing it to sink into the tide.
Blu put his wing around Jewel, "Now, let's spend my last night here well, we won't get another chance".
Jewel wrapped her wing around Blu, "Well, what are we doing waiting around for?".
The 2 lovebirds walked into the crowd of dancing birds, straight to the bar.
On stage, Nico and Pedro were singing a song.
They were singing Like It's Her Birthday by Good Charlotte.
Nico was singing, pedro was doing vocals while a band played the beat.
#Tonight I kinda get the feeling,
My girl is up to something,
Something that is no good.
She said she only had a meeting,
But she is dressed for something,
Something that is no good.
Now I'm not saying that she's cheating,
But seeing is believing,
Can't believe it,
What I'm seeing when I stepped inside.
She's so wasted,
Acting crazy,
Making a scene,
Like it's her birthday.
Drinking champagne,
Going insane,
Falling on me,
Like it's her birthday.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And she ain't shy, apparently.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
She's in the crowd and everybody sings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Like it's her birthday.
She turns and says don't be surprised,
It's gonna be a good night,
A good, good night.
She's showing me a different side,
What I've never seen before,
That I ignore.
'Cause when I'm up she's all about me,
When I'm down,
She spins around me,
Now I know I'm one and only,
So I might as well enjoy the ride.
She's so wasted,
Acting crazy,
Making a scene,
Like it's her birthday.
Drinking champagne,
Going insane,
Falling on me,
Like it's her birthday.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
And she ain't shy, apparently.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
She's in the crowd and everybody sings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Like it's her birthday.
Like it's her birthday.
Like it's her birthday.
Like it's her birthday.
Like it's her birthday.
She's so wasted,
Acting crazy,
Making a scene,
Like it's her birthday.
Drinking champagne,
Going insane,
Falling on me,
Like it's her birthday.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
She ain't shy, apparently.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
She's in the crowd and everybody sings.
Like it's her birthday#
The crowd cheered, Nico and Pedro bowing.
Blu and Jewel, who just got drinks, sat down with their friends at a less crowded part of the beach.
With them were Rico, Zain, Bia, Carla, Alex, Skyler, Magnus, The Tiagos and Otulissa.
Everyone there had drinks, except for Bia and Carla who were underage, but Magnus and the Tiagos each had a can of motor oil.
"So, Blu, you really leaving?", asked Alex, who now took a sip of his drink.
Blu nodded, "Yep", replied Blu.
Rico got up, "Alright, well if it's your last night with us, let's make it count. Whaddya say we go up there and sing a song, maybe 2".
Blu got up with Rico, "let's do it".
Zain And Alex stood up, "We're in".
Blu smiled, "Alright, we have a band. Now we need a song".
Alex chuckled, "I have an idea".
Later
Nico was on stage, "Now, let's welcome our next performers : Blu, Rico, Alex and Zain!".
The crowd cheered as the 4 birds walked onto stage, picking up the instruments they needed.
Alex was on the drums, Rico on electric guitar, Zain on the bass guitar and singing chorus and Blu singing center.
(Bleed It Out by Linkin Park begins to play)
As the crowd went silent, Blu started chuckling, the whole band following before before Rico began a guitar riff, getting the whole crowd to cheer.
Blu now started to sing.
#Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Go, stop the show
Choppy words in a sloppy flow
Shotgun opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama, help me, I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him;
He knows he works
Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So, why try ignoring him?
Make it a dirty dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you face this now
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out#.
As the song came to an end, the crowd cheered way louder than before.
Blu bowed and was about to walk off the stage when Nico flew up to him, microphone in wing.
"Blu, you have to do another song!", he said, while speaking into the mic.
The crowd cheered, wanting Blu to sing again.
Blu relented, "Alright, but I'll do a song I want to do".
Nico nodded, handing Blu the microphone.
Blu walked back to center stage, grabbing a guitar.
He looked at the crowd, spotting Jewel and the rest of his friends watching him.
The crowd grew silent, anticipating the blue bird's song.
(Into The Night by Santana starts to play)
Blu began to strum his guitar, playing it beautifully.
Now he began to sing.
#Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above, like it saved me from hell
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see how the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
We're singing, ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh, ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on her face
She was spinning in circles with the moon in her eyes
The room left them moving between you and I
We forgot where we were, and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night, and we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
We're singing, ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay oh ay oh, ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night
And we danced on into the night#
Blu now entered a long guitar solo, getting the whole crowd onto their feet.
Throwing the guitar into his talons and playing it, he began to fly up, with the microphone.
#Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above, like it saved me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands, and we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay, and the voices rang like the angels sing#
He now dived back to the stage, singing and playing as he went down.
#We're singing ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night, ay oh ay oh, ay oh ay oh
And we danced on into the night (And the voices rang like the angels sing)
Ay oh ay oh, ay oh ay oh, and we danced on into the night, ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
(Ay oh ay oh) Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
(Ay oh ay oh) Singing ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
(Ay oh ay oh) And we danced on into the night#
As the song ended, the crowd cheered.
Blu was now walking off stage, with his friends in tow.
The 4 birds flew to the area where Jewel and the rest of the gang were sitting.
Upon landing, Jewel hugged Blu.
"Great job, Blu. You were amazing!", she said.
Blu smiled, "Well, what can I say. I'm a bird of talent".
"Yeah, sure", said a voice.
Blu turned to see none other than Finn, the hawk, facing him.
In his wing were a bottle of Vodka and 2 shot glasses.
"Let's see how good at drinking you are?", Finn poured the clear liquid into the glass cups, handing one to Blu.
"Try me, hawk boy", Blu downed his drink in one go, "hey, Jewel. Where're the Tiagos?".
Jewel gestured to the stage, where 4 robotic birds had grabbed instruments.
Mace Tiago on the electric guitar, Spear Tiago on the drums, Bow Tiago on the keys and Sword Tiago singing.
(Hallelujah by Everfound starts playing).
#You're always trying to convince me
To buy the lies you're selling
But I refuse to be your victim
I refuse to drink the poison
Come on
Bring your best shot on
Cause I'm standing strong
I know who I am and where I'm going
I made my choice now it's all over
I will fight till the day that I die
Its engraved in my soul
I sing Hallelujah
I'm alive to tell the whole world
I've been raised from the dead
I sing Hallelujah
I'm not wasting anymore time
Moving forward doubt out of mind
I don't need your compromises
Keep your half truth I don't want them
Come on
Bring your best shot on
Cause I'm standing strong
I know who I am and where I'm going
Get out of my way it's all over
I will fight till the day that I die
Its engraved in my soul
I sing Hallelujah
I'm alive to tell the whole world
I've been raised from the dead
I sing Hallelujah
No you're never gonna stop me now
No you're never gonna bring me down
Hallelujah
No you're never gonna stop me now
No you're never gonna bring me down
I will fight till the day that I die
Its engraved in my soul
I sing Hallelujah
I'm alive to tell the whole world
I've been raised from the dead#
The song ended, prompting the crowd to cheer, once more.
By now, with our hero.
Blu and Finn were continuing their competition, at 20 shots each.
Finn was wavering, barely keeping his eyes open, while Blu casually continued to drink.
A small crowd had gathered around the 2 competing birds, betting fruit, drinks and coins on a victor.
Finn downed another glass, "I am a battle hardened bird, it takes a lot more than a little wooodkaa tooo dowww", he went cross eyed, falling face first into the sand of the beach.
A cheer rose from the small audience, Blu smirking.
Jewel was… confused, to say the least.
"How, how did you do that?", she asked.
Blu shrugged, "You spend several weeks in a heaven with endless alcohol and you're depressed. You end up growing an immunity to the stuff".
Zain butted in, "He's not even kidding. The floor of his room was covered, end to end, in empty bottles of vodka, whiskey, gin, the list goes on".
"Thank you ZAIN", said Blu, sarcastically, "For that input".
Zain shrugged, "hey man, just saying".
Rico walked up to the group, "Guys, check out what I can do!".
He looked up, opening his jaw.
From it, came a stream of flames, shooting upward.
Blu laughed, "I can do that!".
Rico shot him a look, "Oh really? DO IT!".
Blu smiled, "Alright", the blue macaw picked up the half empty bottle of vodka at his feet.
He poured the clear liquid into his mouth, gesturing at Rico to set his wing on fire.
Rico did so, the air around him heating up.
Blu sprayed the vodka in his mouth at the flame, igniting the stream of liquid.
He continued until he ran out of the drink, grinning upon ending the stream of flames.
Rico nodded, "Well played, padre. You have my respect".
Blu gave the hawk a quizzical look, "I didn't already?".
Rico chuckled, "Alright, well Imma go sing a song. PEACE!", and so the black hawk flew away.
Blu sighed, turning to Jewel.
"Jewel, I must say. I'm sorry about this, I really wish I could stay. But that would put you all in danger, so just know I'm doing this for the safety of those I care for".
Jewel understood, "I know, just.. Just promise me you'll come back".
Blu smiled, "Just cause I'm leaving, doesn't mean I can't come back. Besides, if I'm wrong I'll just return to help you beat whoever attacks".
Jewel chuckled at the comment, "Well my lovehawk, let's enjoy our time together then".
Later
Blu stood in a clearing of the jungle, his friends gathered around him.
Rico, The Tiagos, Bia, Carla, Rico, Magnus, Zain, Alex, Skyler, Jewel, Rafael, Nico and Pedro.
In his wings, Blu held the blue orb that Zain had.
The portal orb.
Blu dropped the ball on the ground, a blue portal instantly opening up.
Blu looked at his loved ones, "Well, this is it. The, probable, end of our adventures".
Alex shrugged, "I know, it feels like the end of an era".
"I guess, just remember. I love all of you, come see me if there is a problem".
Blu turned to the portal, preparing to jump through when he felt a wing rest on his shoulder.
Blu turned to see none other than Zain, looking at him.
"I'm coming with you", said the lears.
Blu shook his head, "No,I'm doing this to help you all".
"And I'm doing this to help you. We are the last of Inferno Squadron, and we leave no man behind".
Blu smirked, "That we don't do".
The 2 birds inhaled the last sweet breath of tropical air before stepping through the portal, to an unknown future.
The End
This was both the longest and probably worst of my Super Rio stories.
Just saying, sorry for weak plot, writing, characters etc.
Anyways, thanks for reading.
Also, I need to know.
Do I do a story about Blu and Jewel going to Minnesota with their kids next, or do I do another one of my 'Alternate Ending' stories?
Please tell me in a review.
Marco, out.
