Listen to song: The chain, Chloe Kohanski, studio version.
The whole army looked in horror as the guardian of Valhalla known as Stacker had just betrayed them.
Zain screamed out, "Stacker, how could you do this?".
Stacker just grinned, "he offered me something I just could not pass up. To rule over all of brazil. He would have offered it to that Felipe guy but seeing as he is currently deceased it made no sense".
The crowd looked in horror, except for Blu.
Blu tried contacting Soren back in Valhalla.
He held his pointing feathers to his neck and began to whisper.
"Soren, are you there".
He heard the familiar voice of the barn owl reply, "yeah man, is the battle starting?".
"Yeah, gather up some guardians and come through the portal on my go".
Soren understood and went off to gather forces.
Back in the amazon Prev was still giving his intimidation speech, "turn over Alex the Owl and no harm shall come to you. But refuse, (Prev unsheathed his sword) you will pay the price".
The crowd began murmuring, Otulissa began discussing the issue with Twilight the great grey owl, Gylfie the elf owl and Digger the burrowing owl.
Along with Eglantine, Soren's sister and new guardian.
Alex was about to give himself up when he felt a wing hold his shoulder, he looked and saw Reynard looking at him and shaking his head.
Alex stopped and allowed Reynard to stroll in front of the army, the sun was blocked by several thunder clouds that rolled in, bringing a gentle rain.
Let's pray this works thought Blu.
His eyes glowed blue, Blu began to speak, his voice being enhanced with his powers and projected across the clearing.
"Leave!" shouted Blu.
Prev just glared at him, "and who are you, exactly?" asked the hawk in a taunting voice.
Blu just replied, "I am the one that died once to save these people and I am willing to do it again".
This sentence baffled everyone in the crowd, especially Jewel who now had her children next to her.
"Y'know, I once fought a guy like you, wanted all the power in the world. So he took it from others. Right now that guy is burning in HELL!".
Tiago had already split into his alter egos, Bia prepared her telepathy and Carla was prepping her water powers.
Stacker laughed, "then would you care to tell these people about your past Reynard, or should I call you by your true name, BLU!".
The name echoed throughout the clearing.
Causing shocked murmurs to follow, and Blu's family to go wide eyed.
Stacker instantly flies down and grabs Blu's cloak, tearing it off and taking it away.
Blu still glared before taking off his mask, revealing that it was indeed the long thought deceased macaw.
He rose to eye level with the 2 sinister birds.
"I am giving you one more chance, LEAVE or I'll rip the feathers from your skin ONE BY ONE!".
Jewel shuddered a tiny bit at the thought of being tortured like this.
Fed up with this act Prev called up 5 hawks, they flanked the lead hawk on both sides.
"Ready to die for your beliefs macaw?" he asked while raising his sword with his talons.
Blu did not even move, he just sat there.
Prev swung down, only to be met with a blast of heat.
Blu turned to see Angelo and Zain ( in dragon form) flying to him.
Prev recovered from the heat and now gazed upon the 3 warriors in front of him, instinctively his guards all took out their spears and shields.
Blu smiled before drawing his word and electrifying it, Angelo formed a suit of armor with his magic and Zain ignited his body.
The 3 then charged the group of hawks.
Zain used his breath to torch 1, while Angelo tackled another.
Blu used his electric blade to duel one guard.
Blu used his blade and stabbed the hawk, letting him fall to the ground.
Blu looked down to the Rio army and Guardians, "well, what are you waiting for. Let's give these bastards a good hammering!".
The army cheered and began the charge.
"Hawks, ATTACK!" screamed Prev.
The army of hawks landed on the ground and returned the charge to the rio army.
Within seconds the 2 forces clashed.
The guardians managed to punch a hole into Prev's lines, mainly due to Twilight and his lute.
The Rio Army held strong against the force in front of them.
Jewel made a line of peashooters that begun to gun down the hawks.
Tomada and Sorell used their tomahawks and Sorells red eco to break and cut hawks in half.
Roberto duelled one of the hawks with his dovahkiin armor.
Tiago managed to rip through hawks with his speed, Bia used her telepathy to crush several soldiers while carla used the constant rain to create massive waves, wiping out scores of troops.
Lukhas used his talons to engage hawks, wanting to save his energy sword for Prev.
Rafael used his Assassin suit to easily cut through all who charged him, when he was surrounded he had his wife 'sing'.
The soundwave sent the soldiers flying away.
"Like a river of the sweetest honey" said Rafael dreamily.
Blu now faced Prev and Stacker with Alex and Angelo by his side.
Prev put on an angry face, "I may need more strength".
And without a word of warning he turned and stabbed Stacker with his sword.
Stacker screamed in pain, before going limp and another grey gem turned red.
Prev swelled with more power than before.
Blu gulped than he Alex and Angelo turned and ran.
"We need to spring the trap" screamed Blu.
Alex and Angelo put on faces of confusion, "what trap?".
Blu groaned, "look, get everyone beyond the trees , okay?".
The 2 nodded before flying off to relay the orders.
Blu turned around and saw Prev, cutting through swathes of his macaw soldiers.
Blu's eyes turned blue once more, he then surged forward and charged the hawk.
Blu managed to tackle the hawk to the ground before being thrown off.
Blu now sent several swings of his electric sword towards Prev, who blocked them all with his sword.
Prev then stabbed forward with his sword, managing to cut into Blu's wing.
Blu cringed in pain as thick crimson blood left the wound.
Blu returned the favor with a good swipe of his sword towards Prev's torso.
The blade just grazed the hawks chest, drawing a little blood.
Blu looked around and saw that the macaws were retreating, just as he wanted them to.
He was about to follow them when he felt a sharp pain engulfed his back.
Blu collapsed in pain, looking up to see Prev standing over him like a lion over his meal.
He flipped Blu onto his back and placed his talon onto the chest of the spix macaw.
"Any last words macaw?" asked Prev while lifting up his blade.
"Yeah *cough* this is for Steeler".
Blu's eyes now glowed an even stringer blue and a thunderbolt crashed down right on top of Prev and Blu causing a huge explosion to happen, sending blue beams of electricity everywhere.
The beams touched several hawks causing them to convulse in pain and die.
The blast managed to throw Prev off our hero.
Blu got up and held his pointing feathers to his throat, "Soren, bring the hurt".
"With pleasure" replied the voice of Soren.
All eyes turned to the sky where a green portal opened, with 50 guardians of Valhalla pouring out of it and diving to the ground.
Otulissa watched with awe, noting th barn owl that led the new force of fighters.
The guardians of Valhalla crashed right into the hawks, crushing them and cutting a swathe through their forces.
Jewel now stood up and looked to her troops, "Today we fight for more than our homes, today we fight for the freedom of all birds in brazil. There will come a time when the courage of us fails, when we fall and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of hawks, and shattered shields when the age freedom comes crashing down, BUT IT IS NOT THIS DAY! Today we fight, fight for our loved ones, and for our freedom. CHARGE!".
She turned around and ran towards the hawk forces, with the whole Rio Army following.
Lukhas prepared his energy blade and ,looked for Prev, with Alex doing the same thing.
Otulissa stood in front of her men, "Today we make strong the weak and mend the broken. Today we fight as guardians, CHARGE!".
The guardians now followed Otulissa into battle.
Twilight flew above the force with his lute, swinging it into a hawk, cracking the birds neck.
Digger and Gylfie were surrounded by several hawks, "aw won't you look at that. It's the tiny bird with his smaller girlfriend. I can't wait to have some fun with you".
Digger then turned around and began digging and throwing dirt into the hawks faces allowing Gylfie to slice all their throats.
"Never call me small".
The 2 forces clashed again, Lukhas used his blade to cut through 2 hawks,
Tiago used his super speed to jump right through a soldier, leaving a gaping hole in his torso.
Alex saw Blu engaging with Prev across the field, along with the constant hawk guards that interfered with the battle, trying to kill Blu.
Alex then saw Bia, "Bia, I need a boost over to Blu!" he shouted.
Bia understood and with her telekinesis picked up Alex and threw him to where Blu was facing Prev.
Alex flew for several seconds before crashing into a hawk guard behind Blu, "Take this!" and he stabbed his prototype through the hawks chest.
"Alex? What are you doing here?" asked Blu, worried for his friend.
"I could ask you the same thing buddy" replied Alex with a grin.
"Ha ha, very funny".
The 2 turned their attention to the Hawk that stood before them.
Behind them the guardians of Valhalla were creating a circle of death, they had only lost one guardian while the hawks had lost almost a hundred to them in the first 10 minutes.
"Soren, aid the frontline. GO NOW!".
Soren nodded and lead his owls to hold the hawks at the front.
Otulissa was dueling a hawk with her talons when a second one came up from behind and grabbed her, holding the spotted owl in place.
Then the other hawk prepares to stab Otulissa, but right when he finishes winding up he is knocked to the side with a powerful slash of battle claws.
The one that killed the hawk jumped and grabbed the head of the hawk behind Otulissa, twisting it until a dull snap was heard and the hawk fell limp to the ground.
Otulissa looked at the one who saved her, realising it was a barn owl who now looked at her with a face of amazement,
"O-Otuli-issa?" he asked before taking off his helmet to reveal the face of Soren.
Otulissa now teared up and ran to Soren, kissing her long thought dead mate.
Soren returned the kiss, the 2 shared a gentle embrace whilst in combat.
When they finally separated they looked to each other, "let's go help out our friends".
Otulissa nodded and flew off to help with the fight.
Skyler now used her scythe and fire balls to torch and slice through the hawks, the hawks screamed in pain as the scythe cut into their bodies.
With her was Jewel who now used her plant powers to form cherry bombs and throw them into the mob of hawks, blowing them sky high and incinerating others.
The blue phoenix just straight up slaughtered hawks.
Carla use her water powers to take rain and make giant pools of water and drown the hawks.
Zain used his dragon form toc rush hawks, and torch others.
When several hawks jumped onto him he just ignited his body, burning them to death.
With Blu and Alex they frantically dodged strikes from the hawk that stood in front of them, Prev managed to graze Alex and Blu a couple times.
The 2 were starting to tire out.
All the power Prev had was more than anyone they have ever fought, he had Stacker and Felipe's super strength, mixed with Steeler Santa's want for blood and skillfulness with a blade.
Alex's snow white feathers were slowly turning more red with blood.
Prev turned to Blu and swung, his blade meeting Blu's.
The 2 blades sent off sparks as they clashed, but as Prev was more skilled with a blade he was easily overpowering our cerulean friend.
Alex tried to help but was quickly kicked into a nearby tree, knocking out the snow owl.
Prev now focused all his attention on Blu, who just looked nervously at the hawk.
I'm boned.
Prev took the first strike, managing to graze Blu's leg.
Blu cringed in pain but returned to blocking all of Prev's strikes.
But Prev now continuously crashed his sword down onto Blu's blade.
Blu managed to block the strikes but his blade was cracking, Oh no.
After the 10th heavy strike the blade broke, sending a huge electrical blast around the whole clearing, throwing several birds to the side and throwing a huge cloud of dust into the sky.
Blu was thrown into a tree by the blast, splintering the wood and knocking it over.
Prev walked over to Blu and grabbed his throat with his talons.
The dust settled revealing to the entire rio army the state in which Blu and Alex were in.
Jewel looked on in horror as Prev lifted and showed the wounded Blu to the rio army.
"I must say, this bird can really see around him for ways to fight. Let's fix that".
Prev took his talon and scratched along and into Blu's eye, causing a scream of pain to erupt from our heroes throat.
"This is the price you pay for defying me".
He looked to 3 hawks and nodded., they came up and grabbed Blu.
Before punching, kicking, clawing and in general beating Blu to a pulp.
Blood exited the macaws beak, bones broke and organs ruptured.
The army cringed at the site.
Prev strolled casually to the wounded macaw before picking him up.
Prev then used his super strength and threw Blu straight into the war hollow, where he crashed into the table.
Blu looked around the room in a dazed fashion before laying his eyes upon a jade blade.
Lai's blade! He thought, I may have a chance.
