Chapter 3
Tails managed to calm the male blue macaw when Sonic ran by and moonwalked back to Tails and the Macaws.
"Oh there you are; where'd you run off to?" Tails casually asked
"I did a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat, and trashed a giant killer robot." Sonic answered
"Oh really how's the shopping here?" Tails asked
"Great!" he said as he turned to the macaws
"So you're OK now?" he asked the male
"Yep I'm fine now" he answered
"And thanks for saving us… Mr. uh…?" the female macaw asked
"Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic said as he did a pose
"And my name is Miles Prower but my friends call me Tails." Tails said and then he asked the macaws
"What's yours?" he asked
"My name is Blu and this is Jewel my…mate…" Blu said with a blush
"Why are you embarrassed about that; you're friends right?" Sonic asked
Blu and Jewel sweat dropped and looked at him in confusion
"Uh...Sonic…" Tails said as he pulled him to whisper in his ear and Sonic jumped back wide eyed
"Whoa! Sorry about that!" Sonic quickly said apologizing
"That's OK…" Blu said still flushed
"Ugh I hate those things they kept capturing birds and have been chasing us for two days now!" Jewel shouted in pure anger
"Do you know why..?" Blu asked a little scared
"We don't know…but I do know one thing: Eggman had been capturing birds for something…" Tails answered
Blu looked very scared
"Don't worry Blu! We won't let him get you two or any other birds... Do you two know any one that might help us?" Sonic asked Blu
"We do know a couple of friends who can help us but… they had been scattered all around Rio so we don't know where they are." Blu said sadly
"You know; when I was running around trashing robots I saw a couple of interesting places I think we'll go check them out and maybe save some birds!" Sonic declared
Meanwhile back in the slums of Rio…
Orbot and Cubot were cleaning up the remains of the Big Boy that Sonic had destroyed
"The Boss man said to wrangle every piece o' this mess. When you consider what we're doin' from a robot point of view, it's actually pretty gruesome." Cubot stated
"Don't think about it." Orbot said
"Iffin' ya say so" Cubot said as he tossed a piece of robot into a garbage container
Orbot looked around and asked "I'm missing an arm, Have you got an arm?"
"Naw, But really, how much can it matter?" Cubot asked
"I guess it can't matter much" Orbot concluded as he tossed his broom into the container and slumped lazily watching Cubot clean up the rest of the mess
Above the robots was the arm that Orbot was looking for; stuck to giant container leaking rainbow colored energy.
With Sonic, Tails, Blu, and Jewel
In the Rainforests of Rio
Sonic, Tails, Blu, and Jewel made their way to the last place where Blu and Jewel saw their friend Rafael. The Rainforest
(Planet Wisp) – Rio Rainforest act 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
"If I was a bird in need of saving, where would I be?" Sonic wondered as they came upon a mirror with some rainbow colored lights "Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows" Sonic said but stopped when he heard rustling in the bushes
Blu and Jewel flew to a safe place, Sonic and Tails got into fighting poses when…
Two of the cutest baby toucans flew into Sonic and Tails's arms
"Aww what's the matter Blu afraid that these cute little baby birds might cuddle you to death?"
Sonic teased the Macaw; he was about to warn him about them when… Sonic's toucan bit his finger! he tried not to scream but the toucan kept biting him.
Tails's toucan shouted "NOW‼" and a whole bunch of baby toucans came out of the bushes and attacked them;
One toucan pulled Tails's ears and whiskers and another hit Sonic in the crotch
"OW, MY RINGS‼" Sonic shouted as he and Tails fall to the ground next to the first toucan which he shouted "Attack‼" and the small army of baby toucans jumped and biting them until they heard an older voice shouting
"Hey knock it off‼ Leave them alone!"
All of the baby toucans turned and said "Daddy, Daddy, we got them!" they ran to their father climbing all over him
"I have told you a thousand times, Marco, Sophia, come on now listen to… Oh! OK right in the eye…"
Sonic and Tails got up and Blu and Jewel flew down to them, Sonic snickered at older toucan's predicament
"Looks like you're in way over your head" he said to the toucan
"Kids… 18 of them and one on the way… Hey! She is not a maraca stop shaking her!" He shouted Sonic and Tails looked up to see two baby toucans playing with an egg
"They're giving me grey feathers…" he lifted up his wings there were grey feathers mixed with his jet black feathers "I need a break…" he groined
"So are you two here for Carnavale" The Toucan asked
"Yes and No" Tails answered the Toucan who looked a little confused
"You see we're trying to… OW‼" Tails shouted as he turned around to see a baby toucan with a beak full of yellow fur
"What is it with this kid and the fur?" Sonic asked annoyed
"No idea… we're testing him Name's Rafael" he introduces himself
"Well Rafael at least you're ok… let's go find the rest of your friends" Sonic said as he started to run off but Rafael stopped him
"Wait! It's always good to stop once in a while to listen to the sounds of our home"
"Uh…I don't hear anything."Sonic said with his ear perked up
"Listen carefully…"
This time Sonic heard a bird whistling and then samba sounds and then the birds began singing and Sonic and Tails were amazed at the display of colors and music
All of the birds of the feather do what we love most of all
We are the best of rhythm and laughter. That's why we love Carnaval
All so clear we can sing to sun and beaches they call
Dance to the music passion and love show us the best you can do
Everyone here is on fire get up and Join in the fun
Dance with a stranger romance and danger
Magic could happen for Real in Rio, all by itself (Itself)
You can't see it coming
You can't find it anywhere else (anywhere else)
Yes real in Rio you know something else (something else)
You can feel it happen you can feel it all by yourself
The music stopped when a huge machine came out of nowhere a flying chair with Eggman and his very ugly cockatoo. Blu and Jewel gaped and shouted
"Nigel?" Blu and Jewel shouted
"You know that ugly bird?" Sonic asked
"Know him? He captured and nearly killed us!" Jewel shouted
"Yes that's right… you blue RAT!" Nigel shouted to Sonic
"Hey‼ I'm not a rat‼ I'm a hedgehog‼" Sonic shouted as he jumped into action
Eggman's Refreshanator was shooting spike balls but Sonic dodged them in time.
Sonic was trying to find the weak spot but he couldn't
Blu mustered up his courage and flew to help Sonic
"Blu! What are you doing? Get back here!" Jewel shouted but Blu ignored her
When Blu got to Sonic he shouted
"Sonic! Right there! The weak spot is there!" He pointed to a vulnerable spot
Sonic noticed one of Rafael's feathers falling; he jumped and fused with it becoming a cube-shaped weight. He landed on the weak spot destroying the robot and the mirror as well
"We will get those Macaws‼" Eggman shouted as he and Nigel flew away
Tails, Rafael, and Jewel ran up to Blu and Sonic
"Hey Guys! You just missed the BBBE!"
"Huh?" They all said at the same time
"Best Boss Beating Ever!" Blu explained
"So Tails, have you figure out why Eggman wants these birds?" Sonic asked
"Yep turns out the birds of Rio have this energy power called 'Samba Waves'" Tails explained
"We do? Cool!" Rafael exclaimed
"It's inside of their feathers…" Tails continued
"Like a battery?" Sonic tried
"No…well…sort of…it's their life source. You only got a taste of it and looked at what happened… 'Battery' is sort of an understatement" Tails continued
"It seems that evil man who you guys know; I call him 'Baldy Nosehair' was…" Rafael stopped when Sonic burst out laughing
"Baldy Nosehair? That's the best thing I've heard all day! Rafy you're all right!" Sonic said in between laughs
"I gotta remember that one!"
"I already got it written down" Tails said as he continued
"Anyway, he's draining them of their power… ALL their power! For an evil purpose"
"Well then let's go save them!" Rafael said as he and the group started to walk off when they heard an older women's voice
"And where do you think you are you going?" They turned to see a female toucan looking angry
"Oh Eva my love, I am going to help them find the missing birds"
"Ha! You don't fool me for a second. You and your amigos just gonna sneak off to Carnavale again!"
Eva said accusingly as she glared at her husband.
It took a bit of flattery before convincing her to let him go
"Ok…go with them but hurry back safe ok?" she said finally giving in
"Of course, I'll miss you, my little mango muffin."
"I'll miss you too, my coconut cupcake"
Sonic wrinkled his nose in distaste
Then she heard the troublemaking chicks
"HEY! Leave your sister alone!" and she was gone
"Come on let's go…" Rafael said
Tails looked back at the chicks
"No, no, no, don't look back… they sense fear…"
Sonic snickered lightly as they started off to another place
To be continued…
Well this time it was a little longer
TTFN!
Ta ta for now!
