by VPVPVP

Blu and company are forced to leave for Rio early due to facing serious problems from a certain clan of glaucous macaws who DESPISE humans. However, while there, they face another HUGE problem: the return of their old foes bent on revenge, especially Nigel, and they kidnap their kids to use as bait. Blu and co must rescue their kids and confront their enemies once and for all.

19. Confrontation goes wrong

Chapter 19- confrontation with Rudi and Tremaine goes SEVERELY wrong

A little while later, at Falkor's infirmary, Trixie and Alvin were undergoing treatment for their injuries. The former was wrapped in leaf-blankets to keep her warm like the chick found by Pietro, Carolina, Cersei and Archie and she was fed food and drink as she hadn't had a proper meal or drink in two days. And because she was so hungry and though she had good manners, Trixie chowed the food down like a starving city dog. However, Falkor and the others did not show revulsion for she had been missing for so long. While Trixie ate, Alvin was looked over by Ámbar the lutino blue-and-gold macaw. The aging glaucous macaw and father of Sirius, Bellatrix, Pietro and Wanda had been stunned but to the surprise of Ámbar and the others, he had managed to escape with a few bruises. Ámbar then gave the aging male glaucous macaw a stern look.

"You are incredibly LUCKY that you didn't suffer any broken bones," said she, "That hit you have taken from that jaguar mother must have been quite powerful. However, you might not be fortunate next time. Please can you NOT put yourself through a situation like that again?"

"That jaguar was minutes away from snatching my granddaughter over there," replied Alvin, a nod to little Trixie as she continued to eat and drink and her scratches treated by Falkor and more assistants, one of them a female hyacinth macaw and Falkor's date, "If I hadn't taken action, Trixie would have been a snack for that mother cat and her two cubs and we would have lost her there and then."

"I'm glad she's been found," said a medical assistant flying fox, "News has been sent to her family, especially Sirius and Samara and they will be on their way here any moment..."

As the father of four and grandfather of eleven spoke, Falkor's name was called by a dragonbird. Falkor turned to face the medical dragonbird and the spot where the other chick had been found.

"What is it, Viserys?" asked the milicinth macaw.

"The macaw chick Pietro an' th' other three 'ad found, Falkor," replied the strange bird with membranous wings, Viserys as he looked at the nest, "He's disappeared."

The other medics including Falkor went over to investigate as Viserys threw his membranous wings into the air.

"I was gonna ask 'im where 'e came from an' how 'e ended up on tha' rock in such a horrific storm as you commanded me to, Falkor..." said the dragonbird who was coloured green and pink as Falkor's assistants including his hyacinth date began to look around the medical room. Alvin's eyebrow rose.

"That chick my son, daughter-in-law and Cersei and Archie had found slap bang in the middle of that atmosphere of downpour and gusting winds the other day has vanished?" he asked Ámbar.

"Let's leave it to Falkor and the others," said she as she and the others backed away to allow Alvin to leave, "But in the meantime, you get back to your activities and remember what we said about throwing yourself into a reckless situation like taking on a jaguar."

Alvin nodded and left for the entrance/exit hollow. Meanwhile, some distance away from the mixed-species tribe's home grove, a certain chick was wandering through the vegetation. It was a male chick with the growth above his left eye and poorly developed right. He was dry now but since he couldn't fly, he had to walk. The chick turned round to gaze back at the home grove as colourful forms, many of them birds including some bizarre four-winged ones with metallic plumages glinting in the sun, flew overhead. The chick continued to gaze nonchalantly at the home grove for a while before continuing.

As Alvin left the infirmary tree, he was met by Ahsoka and her family. Orion, Sandalwood, Ganymede and Gordie were with Ahsoka, Hermione and Acerola, having returned from their outing with Augustus, Melissa and company and teaching the twins about foraging. In the distance, some glaucous macaws were flying in. They were Sirius, Bellatrix and their chicks Tristan, Quincy, Sapphire, Aiden, Levi and Phoebe. Antares and Samara had left to deal with another important matter with Jewel and Ruby and that was confronting Rudi and Tremaine over their daughter's attempted murder of Bia and now Trixie's incident.

"Is Trixie alright, Alvin?" asked Ahsoka.

"She's cold, VERY hungry and thirsty and has a number of claw marks and a tattered left wing," replied Alvin, "But she's fine."

Relief flashed through the flying foxes.

"I'm SO glad she's okay," whispered Orion before his gaze turned to his mate. It was a mix of admiration at her bravery and anger at her recklessness together. "And Ahsoka, Hermione and Acerola here told me how Ahsoka had risked a venomous snakebite in saving Ferdinand and Trixie from a venomous snake. While I am cross with her for being so reckless as she would have been bitten, at the same time, she had been VERY brave, especially in facing up against a creature she LOATHES most."

"Um... yeah, but believe me, Orion, Ferdinand would have been, without a doubt, bitten and envenomated and Trixie, further hurt as well," said Ahsoka, "One of us had to do something or Ruby would have lost her mate and Sheldon and Opal, their father..."

Suddenly, Orion commanded the group to step aside to allow Sirius and company through and the group of glaucous macaws disappeared into the infirmary hollow to meet Trixie. Then a teen Spix macaw appeared.

"Is Trixie alright?" he cried, "Is she safe!? I heard she's been found alive after two..."

However, the flying foxes and Alvin angrily formed a wall and screened off the entrance to the infirmary hollow, their wings spread wide to form the wall.

"Don't EVEN THINK of entering the hollow and seeing my granddaughter, Raul, you disgraceful Spix macaw," snarled Alvin angrily to the Spix macaw, Raul and he braked immediately at the sight of the furious grandfather. The flying foxes including Ganymede and Gordie also furiously glared at the Spix macaw.

"Yes, what you did to that poor chick was UTTERLY diabolical, cowardly and DOWNRIGHT ABHORRANT," shouted Ahsoka.

"In fact, what you did could well be unforgivable," put in Orion. Sandalwood, Acerola, Hermione, Ganymede and Gordie nodded in agreement.

"You HORRID BEAST!" snarled Ganymede to which Raul flinched. Then Ahsoka asked the next question.

"By the way, why aren't YOU with your parents Jacobo and Donna!?" the ginger flying fox demanded. As he spoke, Acerola went to find said macaws and bring the pair to Raul.

"I-I-I just wanna know," stammered Raul in fright at the volcanic glares of Alvin and the bats, "I-i-i-is Trixie o-o-okay?"

Then Orion stormed forward and seized the Spix macaw by the wing with his wing-thumb.

"It's NONE of your concern, Raul," snarled the brown flying fox, "Now REUTRN to your parents RIGHT NOW! They are OVER there with my daughter."

Raul looked up and saw another brown bat, Acerola return with two blue macaws behind her, both of them wearing ENRAGED looks on their faces. Raul breathed a sad sigh and shuddered. Then Alvin spoke.

"And you will STAY WELL AWAY FROM TRIXIE FROM NOW ON!" the grandfather yelled, sending a MASSIVE shockwave coursing through the teen and disgraced Spix macaw and Alvin practically ROARED these words at him, "If you EVER approach her AT ALL, THERE WILL BE HORRIFIC CONSEQUENCES!"

Ganymede and Gordie flinched at the glaucous macaw's shouting but Ahsoka and Sandalwood calmed them. Then Sandalwood glared at Raul.

"What you did to poor Trixie with that renegade gang IS unforgivable, Raul," he growled. Raul gazed at the young adult golden yellow-furred bat until finally, the two macaws, Jacobo and Donna, appeared and seized him.

"We're returning to our ravine, son," said the father in a low voice and with that, Raul was dragged away as Acerola touched down.

"I would NOT wanna be in HIS position," said she, "I'd probably be exiled."

"Let's just leave it, shall we?" said Alvin before he called the flying fox family's attention, "Oh, and by the way, Augustus and Melissa would like to have a dour word with you."

Orion and his family shot the aging father of Sirius, Bellatrix, Wanda and Pietro an alarmed look but Alvin put his wing up. "You're not in ANY sort of trouble, but it is about these gangs from Rudi's clan and their friends and who they are targeting most. Viserys the dragonbird medic had been discussing it with me as he is also a patroller and nightwatcher. But it won't be until after Antares, Samara, Jewel and Ruby return from confronting Rudi."

Orion gazed at the old glaucous macaw and exchanged looks with Ahsoka, Sandalwood, Acerola, Hermione, Ganymede and Gordie. Then Orion returned his gaze to Alvin.

"Okay, we'll meet with Dad once those four macaws return," said he before his gaze turned to the chocolate brown twins that were the two newest additions to his family, "If those horrific gangs are targeting individuals with human-associated backgrounds like my mate Ahsoka and also Blu, Aurora, Sirius and Bellatrix and their families, especially our children, then I worry particularly for these two."

"Ganymede and Gordie would NOT stand a chance against Millie, Tillie and their siblings especially," said Alvin, "And certainly NOT Katrina especially after what she had done to that poor silver bat-bird Alexandre when he defended that Lear's macaw who had been to the animal hospital to have an illness our healers could not treat from that violence-prone macaw."

As he said this Ganymede and Gordie cowered in their mother's wings fearfully; though they were mischievous, they did NOT want to face ANY of the violent offspring of Rudi and Tremaine, especially after what had happened to Bia and Neptune. Then the group entered into Falkor's infirmary to witness Trixie's joyful reunion with Sirius, Bellatrix, Tristan, Quincy, Sapphire, Aiden, Levi and Phoebe but especially her immediate family. Samara and Antares' reunion with her will have to wait as they were not here right now.

Meanwhile, in Rudi's clan's territory

The break in the storm continued with the light rains gently pattering on the topmost levels of the rainforest and the sun beaming down onto the trees. However, there was another wave of the storm to come and that was indicated by another black cloud looming ahead and soon, conditions for flying animals to fly throughout the canopy will become too unsafe again and that meant one thing for a quartet of certain macaws as they flew in the direction of the home of a certain glaucous macaw clan leader on the territory normally forbidden to the other three tribes including the other glaucous macaw clan led by Ricardo and Ceu in the mixed-species tribe.

Jewel, Ruby, Antares and Samara fluttered through the canopy of the territory of Rudi's clan. As they flew along, Ruby gazed at the oncoming stormcloud, its thunder rumbling like a jaguar's growl.

"We'd better not be here too long, you three," said she worriedly, "The second wave of the storm's due shortly."

"That is why we came here to get this over with as soon as we have the opportunity, Ruby," snapped Jewel, the anger at what Rudi's daughter Katrina had done to Neptune and worse, almost done to Bia, two of her children, still fresh. As she said this, Antares and his cousin flew alongside, outraged looks on their faces.

"I just CANNOT believe that one of my own brother's daughters, or my nieces, would be SO murderous to one of your daughters, Jewel and even have the audacity to attack one of your sons without hesitation," he growled to the Spix macaw, "And what makes it worse, Bia and Neptune are two of the grandchildren of the very own Spix macaw tribe's LEADER!"

"We feel UTTERLY ashamed for being the brother and cousin to that questionable parent as well," put in Samara, "In fact, had we not been separated from our clan when it was one flock, it is likely we would have been like Rudi in our bigoted anti-human attitude towards ALL animals that has had ANY tie with humans, especially as pets, but that's another matter entirely."

"Katrina's attempted murder of Bia is crossing the line altogether," said Ruby, "Just like how that red macaw group attacked one of Jewel's tribe's inner circle birds and his sons WITHOUT provocation whatsoever and left them for dead. THAT was the spark that caused the fires of the bloodbath of a war between my tribe and Jewel's."

"I think it was largely our fault for Trixie landing in that near-fatal situation," said Samara, "As Antares there told me along with Sirius and even our own chicks Tristan, Quincy and Sapphire, EVERYONE involved is at fault. We had been too blinded by the eagerness in getting out the storm that we failed to do a proper headcount of our children, but I think the worst of the two incidences is Bia's attempted murder by Katrina."

"Let's just get this over with," growled Jewel in a low, deadly voice. The other three nodded and the four flew on. Within moments, a certain tree melted into view. It was a large tree and it was capable of housing either a large family of birds or even a small clan. Antares, having been here before, immediately recognised it.

"This is it, you three," he said, before he turned stern, "I must warn you, Jewel and Ruby, my brother Rudi can be VERY rude and his second mate Tremaine who he paired up with some months after the loss of his first mate Valeria in the fire can be REALLY nasty and obnoxious."

"Okay," said Ruby rather nervously while Jewel looked on without care. All she was focussed on was confronting the parents of Katrina over what she had almost done to Bia.

"Okay, we'll go first," said Samara and with that, she and Antares fluttered to the main hollow entrance of the large tree which was the home of Rudi and his family and touched down on the branch before it. Jewel and Ruby remained on a branch on the tree next to the one belonging to Rudi and his family. Rudi's hollow entrance was screened from the outside world by a curtain of vines decorated by a sprinkling of colourful flowers which was ironic considering the fact that most of Rudi and Valeria's children were horrible. However, Samara and Antares ignored this decorative curtain and knocked on the hollow. The sound of a teen chick came from the inside.

"Father, there's someone at the hollow."

"You go get him, Tybalt while I answer the knock," that second voice came from an adult female macaw and it sounded sweet and delicate. However, Samara and Antares immediately knew who that was. They heard the footsteps of adult macaw talons on the wood as the owner of that voice approached the hollow. Within moments, the flowery vine curtain was pushed aside and revealed was a pretty female glaucous macaw. She was indeed a very beautiful macaw. Her feathers were azure blue, like a clear blue sea surrounding a tropical island, and her head and neck feathers, as well as her tail underside, were a lovely shade of grey. Her head feathers were long like Samara's and they faded to azure at the tips. Her build was slim and her eyes were a shade of orange, like the orange of a sunset. However, don't be fooled by this macaw's beautiful appearance. Her personality was completely the opposite and immediately, Samara and Antares flinched at the glare of the macaw which was as freezing as the Amazon River's rapids. Her voice was as sweet as a butterfly but even that was as callous and as cold as her look. In the background, Jewel and Ruby looked on, taken in somewhat by the macaw's beauty but they also winced at the cold, callous glare the bird bore on her face as she pierced Samara and Antares with it.

"What do you two want?" the macaw asked in an icy, unfriendly voice. Then as recognition of the two glaucous macaws standing before her took hold, a smile formed on her beak but it was not a nice smile. That smile was as equally cold and callous as her glare and voice. At the moment, the macaw did not see Jewel and Ruby in the background.

"Well, well, Samara an' my brother-in-law Antares," crooned the female macaw in a honeyed mocking voice, "What brings you two here from your lousy mud-pet lovin' clan an' tribe an' friends during the stormy period? Just visitin', are we?"

"None of your mockery and cold jokes, Tremaine," replied Antares, the urge to snap at the pretty macaw which was Tremaine's mocking remarks boiling dangerously within him. He could not stand this macaw, even when they were chicks and before the fire tore Antares and Samara from the clan. "We're here to have a word with you about your children's antics."

"Especially Katrina and what she had almost done to one of the daughters of the Spix tribe leader's daughter in particular," added Samara who also did not get along with Tremaine when they were little. The macaw, Tremaine, glared at the pair and turned round to look into the hollow as a male macaw called her name. Within moments, the familiar glaucous macaw with the same sea-green feathers as Antares and violet eyes, stocky build and turquoise-tipped head feathers flattened into a sheet on his head appeared. However, as the macaw made his appearance, his glare was not at all friendly or grateful to see his brother and cousin present. They were laced with unfriendliness, hostility and absolutely cold ice, just like his mate's glare and mockery.

"What are you two doing here?" demanded the unfriendly macaw, Rudi. As he spoke, some of his children emerged from the hollow but not through the main entrance where their father, uncle and cousin-once-removed stood. Ruby and Jewel looked on as the little glaucous macaws emerged from alternative entrances to the large tree to listen in on the conversation without being seen. Rudi's family's tree had other entrances asides the main one. Antares repeated what he had told his mate Tremaine. "We have come here to have a word with you regarding your children's activities in our territories. They have been intruding our turfs against the rules of the truce we made and have been causing nothing but trouble but the most serious and recent troubles are the attempted murder of one of the Spix tribe leader's granddaughters and the treatment of one of my own nieces Trixie..."

"Oh, you mean Katrina," snapped Rudi and as he spoke, Tremaine left to get some macaws, "Well, she came home upset and injured and without much of a tail thanks to one of those pigtailed mud-pet macaw's sons who attacked her and tore out her tail."

Samara opened her beak to protest but Rudi swept on. However, he did not see a Spix and a scarlet macaw fly towards him. "And she told me EVERYTHING. Honestly, the AUDACITY that pigtailed mud-pet macaw's son HAD in DOIN' SUCH a THING TO MY DAUGHTER! She CAN'T fly properly now because of HIM."

"Audacity, Rudi!?" snarled an enraged Spix macaw, Antares and Samara parting to allow her to touch down and confront the leader of this troubled glaucous macaw clan, "It's your DAUGHTER who had the audacity in attempting to kill ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS and attack one of MY YOUNGER SONS! Aren't you at all disturbed by that!?"

"Virgil did right in driving Katrina away from Bia," added the scarlet macaw, Ruby who stood next to Jewel, "Though I agree that he did go over the top and we do apologise that he tore out your daughter's tail and attacked her..." Jewel, however, wore a disagreeing look to this statement. She believed that Katrina got what she deserved for clawing Neptune and almost killing Bia. Rudi looked on as he listened to Jewel and Ruby's complaint as Ruby added, "But if it weren't for Virgil's immediate reaction, Jewel's daughter would have been DEAD right now."

As she spoke, a few glaucous macaws appeared alongside Tremaine. Antares flinched when he saw them as these macaws were muscled and served as bodyguards to this troubled clan's leader and his family. Then Tremaine coldly fluttered down and joined Rudi, her freezing glare on the quartet.

"You're NOT welcome here, you four," she icily said, before her vitriolic glare rested on the Spix and scarlet macaw present, "Especially YOU two since you, Spix frog face," she pointed to Jewel with a wing, "your mate is a mud-pet and YOU, scarlet caterpillar," she shifted her point to Ruby, "WERE a mud-pet yourself."

That sent outraged offense ripping through Jewel and Ruby and their eyes flashed in a blink. But then TRUE OUTRAGE flared within Jewel and she began to lambast Tremaine.

"You don't CARE about your kids' behaviour DO YA!?" she snapped, "YOU don't care if they are VIOLENT, MURDEROUS or SAVAGE, do YA!? You think it's OKAY FOR THEM to go round ENDANGERIN' THE LIVES OF THE KIDS OF OTHER FAMILIES!?"

"Such as that incident with Trixie in which some MORE of your kids, among them Millie and Tillie, your daughters from your FIRST pairing with Valeria, attacked her and left her for dead in a jaguar's den!?" added Ruby.

"Yes, one of Samara's DAUGHTERS, Antares' NIECES as well as one of your cousin-once-removed," put in Jewel. Samara and Antares glared on in agreement. However, to the UTMOST anger and dismay of the four, Tremaine and Rudi's faces remained nonchalant and unchanged. The bodyguards got prepared to drive off the four unwanted visitors while behind the quartet, a certain teen macaw who still bore her injuries from Virgil's attack on her and her missing tail, fluttered clumsily in to listen in on the conversation. Then Tremaine's beak widened into a mocking smile once more.

"Oh, you mean that lil' runt, you four?" she crooned to the offense of the four, especially Samara. The chicks looked on with mockery, especially certain ones like Millie and Tillie. There was NOT one hint of remorse in the glares of these macaws, and a certain male had that same remorseless glare. Tremaine continued, "Well, I wouldn't be surprised if your mud-pet mate had decided to leave her behind to die in the storm. After all, she is such a weak and pathetic lil' worm; is it any wonder your relationship with that mud-pet almost broke down 'cos you happened to hatch a RUNT in your clutch?"

Samara winced violently at the scathing thorn-filled remark about Trixie as it flew from Tremaine's beak like a stream of venom and Antares, Ruby and Jewel trembled with UTMOST rage. Giggles emanated from behind the four. Ruby, Antares and Samara turned to glare at the mocking gazes of Rudi and Tremaine's children and their friends as they scoffed at Trixie's predicament, especially Millie and Tillie and also the certain male macaw who hovered with one of the other daughters of Tremaine and Rudi.

"What about when your daughter Katrina tried to kill Bia, one of my daughters and scratch Neptune, one of my sons?" asked Jewel. Snickers came from Tremaine's beak while Rudi's eyes narrowed. These reactions did not need words to describe to Jewel, Ruby, Antares and Samara just how uncaring and nonchalant these two macaws were in regards to their children's behaviour. Tremaine's snickering and Rudi's narrow-eyed glare said it all. Then more snickers came from the left of the four and Jewel turned and eyed the laugher but what came out of the unashamed macaw brat's beak ignited a VIOLENT explosion.

"So you're the mother of Bee or whatever her name was, eh?" crooned and giggled Katrina wickedly and sadistically, "Watchin' that maggot with her bulgin' eyes and beak wide open as she struggled for air while I had my talon on her neck sure made my day that day until that mud-pet came along an' RUINED it..."

"Oh, you think what you did to my daughter is HILARIOUS, EH!?" screeched Jewel and before anyone could stop her, she immediately leaped off the branch and lunged at Katrina but the macaw teen dodged by shooting upward as the cerulean comet rushed in. However, Jewel recovered and began to chase down her daughter's attempted murderer, her eyes blazing teal volcanic fountains. Then a volcanic chase erupted as Jewel then began to pursue Katrina through the trees, weaving in and out after her and screeching EXPLOSIVE squawks at Tremaine and Rudi's daughter. The others gathered round, some of them slightly alarmed but most especially Antares, Ruby and Samara.

"JEWEL!" shouted Antares as Rudi and Tremaine looked on in UTMOST stun. Katrina's siblings and friends also looked on, including Volo who stayed back in fear of the wrathful mother Spix's macaw's VOLCANIC temper. Katrina released FRIGHTENED screams as Jewel continued chasing her through the trees and around the branches and trunks. However, because of her missing tail as a result of Virgil's attack on her, she dodged Jewel's attempts to catch her clumsily. Then after a few more seconds of this, Jewel managed to catch Katrina in midair and the pair landed on a branch. As soon as she had Katrina in her clutches, Jewel began to slap Katrina across the face repeatedly.

"JEWEL!" shouted Samara as Antares and Ruby worked to keep Katrina's violent siblings and friends from approaching the Spix macaw as she continued slapping the attempted murderer of her daughter Bia and attacker of one of her younger sons Neptune. Katrina squirmed out of Jewel's grasp and tried to lunge at Jewel to bite her but Jewel seized her again. The pair careened onto another branch below where Jewel held Katrina down again and began to slap her face, over and over again.

"HOW DARE YA TRY TO KILL MY DAUGHTER BIA AND CLAW MY SON NEPTUNE!" screeched Jewel as she continued slapping Katrina, "VIRGIL DESERVES AN UTMOST REWARD IN DOIN' AN EXCELLENT JOB IN TEACHIN' YA AN EXTREMELY PAINFUL LESSON!"

She continued to slap Katrina's face over and over again. Aleera, Verona and Marishka zoomed in and tried to pounce onto Jewel but Ruby drove them away. However, Aleera lunged at Ruby and raked her claws over the scarlet macaw's cheek, carving a set of claw marks and ripping out some red feathers. Samara rushed in and seized Ruby away from Aleera before the young macaw could pounce onto the scarlet macaw to give her more nasty claw marks. Ruby's talon clutched her scratched face, Aleera's claw swipe having struck the white mask of her face. Rudi and Tremaine's bodyguards flew in and confronted Antares but he fought past these muscled macaws. Katrina glared at Jewel psychotically, not caring about the pain of the slaps the Spix macaw had given her as the Spix macaw stopped slapping her to glare at her volcanically.

"I'm GONNA TEAR THAT MUD-PET LIMB FROM LIMB THE NEXT TIME I MEET HIM!" she bellowed. Jewel slapped her face HARD another time.

"You GOT WHAT YA DESERVED ALMOST STRANGLIN' MY DAUGHTER t' DEATH and CLAWIN' MY YOUNGER SON, you SAVAGE LITTLE BRUTE!" she retorted and continued slapping Katrina over the face. Antares then rushed in and seized Jewel from Katrina by hooking his claws onto her shoulders and dragging her away while Rudi and Tremaine boiled with UTMOST rage. As he dragged Jewel away from Katrina by the shoulders, the Spix macaw screeching at him to let him go, Antares reprimanded her.

"JEWEL, SNAP OUT OF IT!" he barked. Jewel then cooled her anger but then Katrina took the opportunity to say the most CAUSTIC, MURDEROUS thing about Bia. BIG mistake.

"What was her name again, Spew-el?" she crooned in a jaguar snarl-like voice of caustic mockery, "Bee or sommat like that? Sounds like an insect. I would have squished her LIKE an insect or better eaten her alive. Or EVEN better, fed her alive to a pack o' piranha an' watch 'em devour her. Now THAT indeed would be a BETTER option, wouldn't you agree, Spix (bleep)? Especially if you an ya mud-pet mate and family gotta watch it!" she then topped this off with a witch-like cackle. Jewel exploded once again, yanked herself out of Antares' talons and charged like a raging winged bull at Katrina, an ENRAGED screech exploding from her beak. Katrina was struck HARD by the cerulean comet of wrath and was sent careening into a tree trunk. Her right wing struck the trunk HARD at an awkward angle and the macaw then dropped through the canopy like a stone onto the next branch where she landed hard. Horror tore through the group including Jewel and they flew down after Katrina. Then Katrina's left wing shot to her right and clasped it and she emitted a PIERCING shrill of agony. Tremaine and Rudi and Katrina's siblings and friends rushed in and landed all around her to check on her while Jewel, Antares, Samara and Ruby landed on an above branch, Jewel laced with UTMOST stun at what she had just done. The air continued to be pierced by Katrina's EXTREME cry of agony, her left wing clasping her right and her eyes screwed shut as Tremaine then began to check on her daughter.

"That mud-pet Spix macaw's BROKEN HER WING!" she bellowed in UTMOST rage. Then Rudi shot the quartet a CAUSTIC glare and then turned it to his bodyguards.

"Get those unwanted guests OFF OUR TERRITORY THIS MINUTE!" he bellowed. Then within moments, a barrage of grey-headed comets with plumages of varying shades of blue and turquoise surged towards Jewel, Antares, Samara and Ruby. Among them were some of Tremaine and Rudi's chicks. This was it: time to beat a HASTY retreat. Antares immediately seized Jewel and the pair bolted with Samara and Ruby, her face bearing a scratch from Aleera's attack, following. As the bodyguards and the children of Rudi and Tremaine pursued the four, vitriolic threats began to vomit from the beaks of the latter lot. Tybalt battered the four with profanity and threats so DISTURBING that it cannot be written while a few other chicks, among them Mercutio, Tybalt and Katrina's brother and also Millie, Tillie, Aleera, Verona, Marishka and a number of other children of Tremaine and Rudi, also battered the quartet with caustic vomit. Volo also joined in the verbal abuse. HORROR exploded within the four, especially Antares and Samara and they were UTTERLY disturbed at what they were hearing, and from YOUNG GLAUCOUS MACAWS! Furthermore, the son of Cynthia and Wally back in Rodrigo and Ceu's clan was joining in the verbal venom spray without hesitation. Antares flashed a horrified and disturbed look back at his nephews and nieces and their friends and also Rudi's bodyguards. NO chick or teen should EVER say stuff like that and every caustic word that flew from those young macaws' beaks made him and Samara wince and flinch violently. Jewel also felt her stomach lurch and Ruby felt nausea set in, and disbelief at what they were hearing from those young glaucous macaws would be an UTMOST understatement by a MILE. Samara then glared at Rudi and Tremaine as they followed to ensure the four was kicked out and when she saw the nonchalant looks on their faces, astonishment and appal ignited within her. The other adult glaucous macaws including the bodyguards also showed nonchalance at the young macaws' VILE behaviour and verbal abuse. Pulling her gaze from her cousin and cousin-in-law, Samara continued on. Then Ruby began to yell at Rudi and Tremaine.

"THOSE macaws your daughter Katrina attacked and attempted to kill one of are two of the GRANDCHILDREN of the SPIX TRIBE'S PATRIARCH!" she screeched, "Did you know that the cause of the bloody war between MY tribe and Jewel's was caused by some red macaws attacking an inner circle macaw and his sons WITHOUT provocation and left them for DEAD!? Believe me, that WAR between our two tribes was an UTTER BLOODBATH with so MANY macaws dying and getting injured on BOTH SIDES, INCLUDING YOUNG ONES AND ALSO OUR TWO LEADERS BEFORE FELIPE AND EDUARDO WHO KILLED EACH OTHER IN THAT FIRE..."

Suddenly, a cerulean comet rushed in and tackled Ruby out of the way as one of Rudi and Tremaine's chicks, Mercutio, charged in and attempted to rake his claws at the scarlet macaw, going for the throat. Mercutio also vomited a spray at Ruby as Jewel helped her back in flight. While Rudi and company sought to driving out the four intruders, some medic macaws of Rudi and Tremaine's clan picked up the injured Katrina and carried her to the medical tree. Then Tremaine began to batter Jewel with a spray of caustic abuse and threats.

"Your MUD-PET MATE will SURELY get it; (bleep)," she bellowed, "AN' SO WILL YOUR CHICKS, ALL SIX OF THEM an' PERHAPS YOUR FATHER AND AUNT AS WELL! NOT TO MENTION ALL YA FRIENDS includin' THAT MUD-PET BAT AND HER FAMILY!"

Jewel, however, hurled a glob of saliva at the matriarch of Rudi's clan in disgust and distain and resumed escaping the vomit-spewing children of her and Rudi and the aggressive bodyguards. Antares then shot Rudi and Tremaine a FIERY glare.

"YOU AN' YOUR MACAWS AN' ALL THOSE BANISHED STAY OFF OUR TERRITORIES AND IN YOUR OWN PATCH," bellowed he to his brother and sister-in-law, "An' also STAY AWAY FROM BLU AND OUR FAMILIES IN PARTICULAR and if we EVER catch ANY MORE INTRUSIONS from YOU LOT ON OUR TURF; THE CONSEQUENCES ARE GONNA BE SEVERE!"

"You an' Samara have ALREADY have LANDED YOURSELVES IN THE PIRANHA POOL OF DIRE CONSEQUENCES, you NO BROTHER OF MINE!" screeched Rudi in reply, "ESPECIALLY AFTER CHOOSIN' A MUD-PET TO BE YOUR MATE! BOTH OF YA!"

Antares and Samara did not reply and continued to escape the pursuing bodyguards and abusive offspring of Rudi and Tremaine with Jewel and Ruby. Then within moments, the abusive glaucous macaws stopped their chase after the four out-flew them and disappeared in the direction of their tribes' territories. Then Rudi and company turned round to return to their home.
