Hey guys, so I got a lot of positive feedback on my first pacific rim/ rio crossover. So i am adding on to it. Pls review, thanks ;) PS there are no humans in this world. All cities are populated by birds. Nations are same. Usa, brazil etc. PS the breach is off the coast of Rio. So not really pacific rim, more atlantic rim. Anyways enjoy.
Amazonia, 09:00 hours
June 24th, 2022
5 years after Blu's last launch
Blu walked along the streets of the great city of Amazonia.
The colony he had fought so hard to protect 5 years ago.
He still remembered that night.
The way the lightning illuminated the monstrous beast he had to vanquish, the feeling of having his own arm torn off.
The neural handshake had forced his nerves to believe he had no left wing.
Only with great difficulty was he able use his left wing.
Our hero wore a light gray cloak, to protect him from the tropical rainstorm that had rolled into town.
He turned his head to a wall, the faded paint of a piece of anti kaiju propaganda stained the wall.
He scoffed a little, this 'war' as the officials called had cost humanity dearly.
Millions of dollars, years of training jaeger pilots. Only to see both go to waste when kaiju attack cities.
He turned his attention back to the sidewalk, the macaws around him stepped out of his way. Blu neared a construction site, a small tower was being built.
"Hey Blu" said a voice behind him.
The cerulean macaw turned around to see, "Angelo!" exclaimed Blu "how ya doin?".
The figure Blu was talking to was a scarlet macaw, about Blu's height with sky blue eyes, slowly walking towards him.
The 2 had become friends 3 years ago when Blu helped Angelo through a tough divorce, and they had been friends ever since.
Angelo gave Blu a high five, making sure to use his right wing and meet with Blu's right wing.
The 2 smiled. Angelo then turned to the construction site, "well, time to get to work" he sighed. Blu nodded and followed his friend into the construction zone.
12:25 PM
Blu and Angelo sat on a beam, 100 feet in the air.
They were eating their lunch of fruit and bread while watching the hustle and bustle of life occur below them.
Blu smiled, he only knew 2 other things that allowed him this view. One was flying, the other? Being in a jaeger.
"Y'know, Angelo. This is the kind of view you get from a jaeger" Blu sighed "I still remember my last fight".
Angelo knew about Blus past as a jaeger pilot and defender of Amazonia.
Angelo did not bug Blu about his past very often, for he knew it was a touchy subject. But when Blu brought up the topic Angelo could not resist asking him about it.
"Blu, you never told me exactly what happened in your last fight. Could you, tell me?". Angelo said the last part with a bit of uncertainty in his voice.\
Blu did the last thing Angelo expected, he told the story of his last fight.
From how he woke up that day, to how he fell asleep.
Blu finished his story. "And that's how my career as a pilot ended".
Angelo looked at Blu with awe, he never knew so much happened.
He always assumed Blu just quit.
Blu's attention was turned to the clock in the workplace. It read 03:00 PM.
"Woo hoo, quittin' time!" exclaimed Blu. He jumped off the beam, extending his wings and gliding down to the ground.
Angelo followed him. Upon reaching the ground Blu reached for something in his cloak.
He pulled out a small cube object, a cell phone.
He used his wing tip and pressed a button with jewels photo on it. He raised the phone to his ear, listening to the sound of ringing on the other end.
After about 30 seconds, he finally heard the soothing voice of his wife, Jewel.
"Hey honey" she greeted happily "what's up?".
"Can I go to the bar with Angelo?" he asked, crossing his talons it would work.
He heard Jewel sigh, "okay, but be back before 6".
Blu smiled, thanked Jewel. Then hung up.
He looked to Angelo, who was smiling. "Wanna hit up the bar?".
Angelo nodded in agreement, and the 2 flew off to the bar.
At the bar
Our 2 macaw friends landed outside the wood door to the bar with a loud thud.
They pushed open the wooden door and were greeted by the smell of beer and crushed peanuts.
The only lights were over the pool table, over the bar and from the TV.
Speaking of the TV, the news channel was running a breaking report.
"In Perth this morning, a kaiju. An enormous category 4 attacked the city.
Mark 1 jaeger Digger Whiskey was scrambled to hold the kaiju, code named Mutavore at the miracle mile, but failed.
After Mutavore destroyed the jaeger it was able to attack Perth itself for almost an hour.
It was not until early afternoon that Mark 5 jaeger Striker Eureka , piloted by Hercules Hansen was finally able to bring the beast down with its chest missiles".
A clip played on the TV of the jaeger killing the kaiju, and the kaiju falling into a skyscraper.
The next clip that played was an interview with Hercules, showing that he was an australian masked owl in a tan green armor set. "That's my 7th kill to date, new record".
Blu sighed in sadness before walking to the bar and getting a beer. Behind him the TV kept playing.
"The previous record was held by Blu Gunderson of the jaeger Amazon Avenger in Brazil". The news channel showed a photo of Blu and Jewel on top of Avenger's head holding each other close.
Blu remembered that day, it was after his first fight. Against a category 2 named Onibaba.
He will always remember the look on Jewel's face when he climbed out of that conn pod, a hero.
Blu chuckled to himself, his days of fighting monsters were long behind him.
Angelo looked to the TV and saw the photo.
"Man, what a sight it must have been to see you in that thing".
Blu chuckled again.
"I still have my suit at home, come by and try it on".
Angelo looked at Blu, mouth open.
He was about to thank Blu for the offer, but he was interrupted by their beers arriving and Blu's phone ringing.
The cerulean macaw picked up his phone and sipped his beer.
He pressed the 'answer' button on his phone and raised it to his ear.
"Hey Blu, I need you to come home now. There is someone here looking for you".
No sooner had Blu heard this was he bounding out of the bar, beer in talon. Not minding the rain that battered him.
He flew high above the city, and out of it.
He did not stop flying until he came across a cottage in the woods.
He landed at the oak door to the cottage, his talons scratching along the wooden patio.
He put his wing to the door and opened.
Revealing a living room, in which a female blue macaw and bulldog sat.
Blu instantly recognized the bulldog.
"Luiz!" he exclaimed, "how are you doing old friend?".
The bulldog's smile faded.
"Blu, the world needs you again".
