A couple of announcements: There will be a sequel after the end of this story. Don't know when but there will be. Also, I might not be able to update as much as I would like to. Mostly because school is going to start on tuesday. Hopefully I will be able to update at least once or twice a week. When I do update it will probably be two or three chapters at a time. Anyway with that said I'd like to thank all my reviewers. Thank you for actually bothering to read my story. This is chapter 4 just for you guys! Happy Reading! :)

Chapter 4: Rescue

"PLEASE STOP IT NIGEL," Jewel screamed at the top of her lungs, sobbing as Nigel flung Blu against the wall for the umpteenth time.

"Arrghh," Blu cried in agony as his bones began to crack.

Nigel cackled at his victim's pain. "I knew you'd come. Your too blindly, ummm what do they call it." Nigel said in pretend confusion. "In love." He finished, disgust issued in every syllable.

"Nigel...please," Jewel pleaded softly. Nigel turned to glare at her. Then he smiled sinisterly. "Fine, I was getting bored anyway." He said evily. "I was going to wait," He smiled viciously pulling a rooster fighting blade from a nearby box. "But I guess better now then never right?" he laughed turning toward Blu and holding the blade to his throat.

"Any last words macaw?" Nigel whispered bringing his face mere centimeters from Blu.

Blu looked at Jewel for what would probably be his last time. If he was going to tell her how he felt, the time was now. Courage brought onto him by his situation, he had no trouble clearing his thoughts. He looked into her eyes and began.

"Jewel I...love...-"

"Let...him...go." Said another voice, once again, cutting Blu off.

Everyone turned to see that it was a very angry looking canary.

Nigel just stared at the newcomer. Then he broke into a mirthful laughter. "Y-you?" he said barely able to speak between breaths pointing at Nico. He had lifted his gaze away from Blu and advanced toward Nico. "You're going to stop, ME?" He positively squealed with laughter.

"Yep." Nico awnsered flatly

Unnerved by Nico's calmness Nigel answered. "You and what army pipsqueak?"

"THAT ONE!" Pedro, who was awakened by the commotion, pointed at the top of the float as birds of all shapes and sizes poured in through the roof of the float.

It seemed as though at least one bird from every species in the jungle was assembled here before Nigel. At the front was Rafael, glaring at Nigel with utter hatred. "Let the birds go, and no harm will be done."

Nigel couldn't fight his way out of this one. Nor could he lose these birds or he would be severly punished. He had no way out of this mess. It was over and he would have to surrender.

Suddenly the trunk of the float opened, revealing a very angry looking Marcel in a Hawaian shirt. Hearing all this commotion he had decided after he arrived at the airport, he would see what all the noise was about.

"Well, well, well what do we have here..." he said glaring at all the birds, who seeing this very intimidating human, were all paralyzed in fear. "I see Nigel has brought me a present, well done Nigel." He said as Nigel flew upon Marcel's shoulder to get stroked by Marcel.

"Now all of you in a cage." Marcel ordered pulling out a gun. Every bird with the exception of Blu (who can't fly) attempted to take off but then Marcel shot into the float and everyone held still, except for a military macaw, who fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Want to try that again?" Marcel asked sneeringly. Every bird in the float glared at him with loathing but obeyed his orders and made their way into a cage. Blu attempted to sneak into the same cage as Jewel, but failed as Marcel grabbed him by the throat, threw him into a custom made kennel with a glass door, and locked Blu inside. "Oh no you don't, you and your little girlfriend here only cause me trouble when I put you in the same cage. So now I'm seperating you." he said as he gestured for someone to come over. "What is it boss?" said the more chubby one, who was in a chicken suit. Blu, dispite his current situation, fought the urge to laugh at the way Marcel's henchmen looked. They were both sporting very poorly made chicken suits and the chubby one's belly was sticking out just a little bit. "Yeah, do you want us to start loading the plane now?" said the skinnier and tanner one, in a voice as dignified as he could make it in a chicken costume.

"Yes I do." he said turning his back and walking toward the cockpit of the plane. "Oh and one more thing, keep those Macaws as far away from each other as possible, I don't need them getting any ideas." he said gesturing at Jewel and Blu.

"Sure thing boss." They both said as they began to pick up cages and load them onto the plane. Blu sighed in defeat and kicked the thick and opaque glass door frustrated. "Some rescue." he muttered under his breath as his kennel was picked up, place in the corner of the plane, and tightly secured to the cargo pit.

{Skip the whole part where Linda and Tulio try to stop the plane from taking off, as it is not important to the story and would just be unnessacary "filling" to the story. For those of you who would like me to add it, just vote on the reviews and I'll edit the chapter.}

The plane was sailing through the air leaving Rio as Blu lost in thought. "This is all my fault." Blu though to himself as he sat in his confinement. "Once again, I put everyone's life in danger, just because of my stupid inability to fly. Maybe I should've just said no when Linda insisted I go to Rio. Maybe then none of this would've happened. But that's just it. No amount of wishing is going to solve this. The only good thing that came out of this was that I met Jewel. At least I know I'm not alone in this world. When she showed up she shattered that glass wall I had built-...wait a minute...shattered..shattered.." he stopped his thoughts as realization dawned on his face. "That's it!" Blu cried gleefully. as he perked his head up amazed as to why he didn't see it before. "I need to shatter this door. But I'm going to need help." Blu thought to himself. "Hey guys I got an idea!"

Jewel heard Blu and answered "What Blu what is it?" she asked confused.

"I have a plan, but I'm going to need everyones help." Blu said as he prayed inwardly to whatever gods helped glass-shattering birds. "This plan has to work, or everyone I know is doomed." he thought grimly to himself

"So what's the plan amigo?" Rafael yelled from somewhere in the background.

"Okay here it is, but I'm going to need everyone to listen up."

Well that's chapter 4 fanfiction people. Be sure to R&R this chapter and the next as I am going to double update. Well off to write chapter 5!
