Yo guys. Look, I don't want to sound rude, but I would like to have at least 10 reviews per chapter, okay? Let's go with the story, now =)

Chapter 9

Jewel was so nervous that she would have probably walked nonstop, if her feet weren't tied by the darkness ropes.

Alex, who was still sitting his back on the wall, looked at her with a worried look.

Alex: "Calm down, Jewel!"

Jewel looked at him with a shocked and angry look.

Jewel: "CALM DOWN?! How the hell you want me to calm down?! Blu must be in trouble right now and we can't do anything to help him!"

Alex: "Well, panicking won't help anybody."

Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming their way.

They immediately looked at their cell's door to see a light guard, the same one who took Blu with him, opening the cell with his keys.

They noticed that he was holding someone in his wings; it was Blu!

They both gasped in horror as he was beaten and covered of injuries and blood.

Once the light guard putted him on the ground, Jewel immediately rushed (or crawled) to him with a worried look on her face.

Jewel: "What have you done to him?!"

She screamed at the light guard who didn't answered and simply leaved the cell closing the door behind.

Jewel then looked at Blu's face which was black of beating and red of blood. Speaking of which, there was still some blood flowing out of his beak.

Alex quickly crawled next to them.

Alex: "Is he okay?!"

Jewel didn't answered and began crying on Blu's chest.

Alex looked at her helplessly; he would have wanted to comfort her, but he was still tied with fire ropes.

Suddenly, Blu coughed a little before opening his eyes to happily seeing his wife crying on him.

Blu: "Hi...Sweetie..."

He weakly said.

Jewel immediately looked at him, still with tears in her eyes, before smiling and nuzzling her head in his chest which made Blu groan in pain as he still had his cut.

Blu: "Jewel! Softly; it still hurts!"

She immediately putted her head away before putting him into a kiss.

Alex smiled as he was finding this cute enough.

Alex: "Mince! (Geez!) What happened to you?!"

He said looking at his injuries.

Blu: "It's the Angelus; she tortured me to know something about her enemy called "The Darkness"."

Alex gasped remembering what Duke said, but was brought to reality by Jewel.

Jewel: "How dare she did that?! I will make her pay, you can believe me!"

Alex: "We will talk about this later; for now, I will heal Blu."

He said with crawling on Blu (on a weird position, if you wanna know).

Blu: "But how? The ropes neutralise your Prototype."

Suddenly, some little black tentacles jumped out of his body and went into Blu.

Then, slowly but surely, Blu's injuries healed making him feel better before Alex went off him.

Blu looked at his now-better-body.

Blu: "You did it?"

Alex nodded with a smile.

Alex: "Yeah; these ropes neutralise all my Prototype abilities, except three; healing, red vision and my ability to turn into another's form."

Jewel: "That's great; you'll be able to heal us, when we're gonna need it!"

Blu looked at the cell's door.

Blu: "Yeah; now, we must find a way out of here before things get worst."

Meanwhile, back on earth, Bia, Carla and Tiago were beginning to panic as their parents were missing since a long time now.

Carla: "I'm telling you that we must go search for them!"

Carla was arguing.

Bia: "We don't need to; the chances of them being in trouble are only 45%"

Bia protested.

Tiago: "Don't panic sista; I'm sure that they just went for a little lonely time. Y'know couple stuff."

He said with a reassuring smile.

Carla sighed in defeat.

Carla: "Whatever. Hey, what about we go to Uncle Nico and Uncle Pedro's club for some fun while Mommy and Daddy do their stuff?"

Bia and Tiago both nodded in agreement as they wanted to have fun like last night.

Then, they all went toward the hollow's entrance ready to leave.

Suddenly someone appeared at the hollow's entrance preventing the kids from leaving; it was the Fearus, the goddess of fear.

This last one looked at the kids with an evil smile on her red beak while the three chicks were shivering in fear.

Bia: "W-Who are you?"

She asked while walking back in fear like her siblings.

The Fearus chuckled at her reaction.

Fearus: "You're right to fear the presence of the Fearus, goddess of fear!"

The three chicks gasped in fear at this.

Carla: "G-Goddess of fear?"

Suddenly, the Fearus used her fear power to lift up Carla in the air and bring her in front of her.

Carla wanted to panic but found herself unable to as the Fearus was looking straight into her turquoise eyes with her black ones with a smile on her red beak.

Fearus: "I like little creature easily scared like you."

She said with stroking her cheek with her wing making Carla shake in fear as she felt her warm wing slowly stroking the side of her face.

Fearus: "Look at those beautiful eyes."

She said still stroking her face.

Fearus: "Feel this fast-beating-hearth."

She said with putting her wing over Carla's chest feeling her heartbeat.

Fearus: "This chubby belly."

She said with patting Carla's chubby tummy.

Fearus: "I would make a pleasure to make of you my little pet."

She said with teasing Carla's under chin with her pointing feathers making her wanting to vomit.

Suddenly, someone grabbed the Fearus from the back and threw her at the forest floor making her let go of Carla who fallen to the hollow's floor.

Then, the three chicks looked up to see two other birds standing at the hollow's entrance.

It was Duke accompanied by a little female elf owl brown and grey with some sparkling on her feathers which made them shine. Also, she had a purple crystal implanted in her forehead, another pink one as a necklace and a yellow one implanted into her navel. She had brown eyes.

Duke looked down at her.

Duke: "Skyler! Take the kids to safety; I'll take care of the Fearus!"

The elf owl known as "Skyler" nodded and quickly opened a portal with her wings.

Skyler: "Come on, you three! Follow me!"

She said to the kids.

They hesitated, but didn't had the choice to thrust her. So, they jumped into the portal followed by Skyler who closed it after passing.

Duke then flew down to the floor a little further from the Fearus who went back on her feet and looked at Duke with a smile on her beak.

Fearus: "You have guts for attacking a goddess, little guy."

Duke smiled.

Duke: "I wouldn't, if I won't think that I can beat her!"

He said with making appear a blue energy sword in his wing ready to fight.

The Fearus chuckled.

Fearus: "This is going to be fun!"

She said with putting herself into a fighting position.

Duke is back! And ready to fight the Fearus. Will he be able to defeat her? Stay stunned for the next chapter to find out! Also, thanks to my beautiful girlfriend, Skyler The Elf Owl, for allowing me to use her OC. Also, like I said at the beginning, I would like to have at least 10 reviews per chapter. If you do so, I will upload this story faster =)
