Chapter 4
Blu and Alex were still standing over the open area of the Amazon in the middle of dead corpses victims of the bird standing right in front of them, Duke.
Blu, who was still under the shock after this guy said that he know his name, managed to speak.
Blu: "H-How do you know my name?! And who the hell are you?!"
Duke simply chuckled.
Duke: "It's an honor to tell you that I'm your protector!"
Blu and Alex just looked at him with puzzled faces.
Blu: "My protector?"
Duke: "Let me explain you everything; 10 years ago, I was a normal boy living in the city of Chicago, Illinois. One day, I've been captured by a secret organisation who injected me a powerful virus called "K4". This virus gives me many powers like regenerating my injuries, best strength, best agility, more speed, etc."
Blu: "And what happened after?"
Duke: "Luckily, I managed to escape their laboratory, not without killing some of them."
He said with a dark look.
Duke: "Three years later, I managed to hide from this company. One day, an old soul called the "Spacetime" took me as his host. She gave me many powers such as teleporting, Shooting blue energy balls and summoning an energy sword. Speaking of which, you remember the two energy balls that touched Nigel and Mauro during your fight three years ago?"
Blu putted a surprised look on his face.
Blu: "It was you?!"
He nodded all proud of him.
Duke: "But let's go back to my story: Spacetime also allowed me to use my wings as defibrillators and I can summon a magnetic shield around me. She also allowed me to come back to life each time that I die. My last power is the "Rage Mode". When this power is activate, my force is multiplied by 10. I can do massive destruction. However, this power make me lost a lot of energy and can make me die if I use it too much."
Alex: "That sounds cool."
Duke: "Then, a few years later, I met an organisation called "The Resistance" whose objective is to stop the D.A.N.U. or these guys you just met."
Blu: "But why they are after me?"
Duke: "They want to neutralise and, if possible, exploit all animals with super powers that they meet. That's why the Resistance is here, to prevent them to reach their objective. That's what brought me here; the organisation engaged me to protect you and your family."
Blu: "But why didn't you show up the last three years?"
Duke: "I didn't want to scare your kids."
He said with blushing a little.
Duke: "But enough with the talking and let's get to the points; I came here to give you a gift that could be useful for you in the future."
Blu looked curiously.
Blu: "A gift? What is it?"
Duke: "It's an old soul called "The Darkness". It can also give you super powers like the Spacetime. Do you want it?"
Blu looked down thinking about it for a second.
Then, he looked back at Duke with his answer.
Blu: "No. Sorry, but I can't accept a gift from someone I just met."
Duke nodded in understands.
Duke: "It's okay; I can give it to you later if you want. However, there's something I must absolutely give to you."
He said with taking a kind of scroll into his wing which he handed to Blu.
Blu: "What is it?"
He asked with taking it.
Duke: "I don't know, but Spacetime told me that you're gonna need it for a future event."
Blu nodded with putting the scroll in his inventory.
Blu: "Thanks."
Duke: "Now, I have to go. If you need me anytime, anywhere, just make the macaw scream; I will come to help."
Blu: "How can I be sure you will come to my help?"
Suddenly, Duke makes appear a kind of contract paper in his right wing.
Duke: "This contract forces me to do it."
Alex went closer to read.
Alex: "Me, Duke, swear on my Resistance honor to protect Blu and Jewel's family from any kind of danger even if it means I must die or suffer hard."
Duke: "Exactly."
He said with making the contract disappear.
Duke: "It was nice to meet you, BYE!"
He said with teleporting himself away.
Blu and Alex looked at each other still owned about what just happened before turning their attention back at the scroll.
Alex: "Do we read it?"
Blu: "Of course."
He said with unrolling the scroll as Alex went next to him to read the scroll with him.
Blu: "On the path of a close destiny, the most dangerous and powerful elements of this world will go on a search for the chosen one.
There, they can be stopped only by the following things:
-The chosen one himself
-The unstoppable illness
-The ultimate warrior
-The beauty of the forest
-The miracle trio
-The eagle's eye
-The greatest friends
-The possessor of the dragon armor
-The little bird with a great spirit
-The beautiful red creature"
Blu and Alex looked at each other.
Alex: "Weird. That sounds like a prophecy."
Blu nodded with putting the scroll back in his inventory.
Blu: "Listen; I don't know what's this story's all about, but we're better to keep this between us until we see things clearly, okay?"
Alex nodded agreeing to not tell this to anybody.
Blu: "Let's go back at the tribe; it's getting late."
Later, when the night was fallen, Blu was laying in his nest with Jewel wrapped in his wings and his three kids cuddled between them.
Blu was still awake as he couldn't stop thinking about Duke and this "prophecy".
Jewel opened her eyes as she noticed something was wrong with him.
Jewel: "Is there a problem, sweetie?"
Blu looked down at her.
Blu: "What? No. Everything's alright."
They whispered as they didn't want to wake the kids.
Jewel: "You seem troubled."
Blu: "I said everything's fine."
He said not wanting to talk anymore with Jewel.
This last one sighed, deceived by her husband's reaction and rested her head back on his chest to sleep again.
Blu didn't did the same however.
