Rio the Darkness 5: Alternative Darkness
chloemcg: Yep, let's hope Blu is alive. And good to see you're fine, and I know what it's like to be busy. :D And I give you an idea for a Sonic fanfic, did I? Interesting. And you're welcome. And thanks. I will try my best. :D
(non-member) Haloplayer: Is Blu going to die? We will have to wait and see.
After Blu had jumped from the cliffs and from the military macaw prison, Sapphire and Joe had spent hours searching for him, but had no luck in finding the male blue macaw. They checked almost everywhere in the area, but they had to leave soon otherwise they would be found and captured by the military macaws.
"Sapphire, we have to go back to the base." Joe said, placing his wing on her shoulder for comfort. "I know it's tough. But if we stay here any longer, the military are gonna find us, and possible find the base too."
Sapphire merely nodded in response while a slight tear rolled down her face. "Okay, Joe. Let's go home."
The brother and sister blue macaws began their travel back to the underground rebel base. As much as neither of them did not want to leave Blu, they had no choice and had to leave now before it would be too late.
Sapphire and Joe traveled together until they eventually found Rico and the six gangsters they had rescued resting in a tree hollow together. The blue macaws touched down into the hollow, and everyone was fine except for the gangster who was still unconscious.
Rico turned his attention to Sapphire and David, who had sad expressions, and decided to ask if they had found Blu. "Hey, did you find him?"
"...No." Sapphire answered, wiping a tear away from her eye. "We couldn't find him anywhere."
Rico sighed in response, while rubbing the back of his head with his wing, feeling a little guilty. "It's...It's my fault. I shouldn't have dropped him."
"No, Rico, it wasn't." Sapphire interrupted before Rico would panic too much about feeling guilty about the whole situation. "A grenade made you drop him. It wasn't your fault all. Okay?"
Rico nodded in agreement.
Joe looked back at the gangsters, and could see the unconscious gangster laying almost motionless on the floor. "Is he alright?"
"He's fine for now, but he needs medical attention as soon as we get back to the base!" the gangster replied, slightly panicking that his friend would not make it. "I hope you guys got a medic."
"We do, and he can help your friend." Sapphire answered, as she looked out of the hollow to check if the coast was clear from any military macaws. "Now let's go before sunrise is here."
The two gangsters nodded in agreement as they both picked up their friend in their talons and prepared to carry him through the Jungle while flying. Sapphire and Joe lead the way back to the base for Rico and the gangsters, and hopefully make it in time.
Meanwhile, back in the military macaw prison-General Raxos had called all of his men into a meeting. He was very, very angry and upset about the leader of the rebels get away so easily after he was so close to capturing them once and for all.
He angrily walked up and down the room while his men stood in lines in form, and not dared say a word. Raxos placed a wing in front of his head while he angrily talked to his men. "Not only did you let the leader of the rebels escape, but you also let them rescue prisoners and ESCAPE! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! WE HAD THEM RIGHT WHERE WE WANTED THEM, AND JUST BECAUSE OF A little bit of smoke, they escaped!"
"But sir." a military macaw was about to interrupted.
"NOT BUTS!" Raxos screamed at the top of his lungs to the solider who interrupted him. He slammed his wing against the wall while he looked at the soldier next to him. "YOU!"
"Yes, sir!?" the military macaw said, but secretly was afraid Raxos would do something to him, or even have him ordered to be exhausted and have his head chopped off.
"Have those martial-artists arrived yet?" Raxos inquired, finally calming his voice down, but he was still angry while he folded his wings together.
"N-n-no. Not yet, sir." the military macaw answered, shaking a little from the general, and fearing he was going to get hurt.
"Well, I want them here by at least tomorrow." Raxos ordered, as he got right in front of the soldier's' face and once again screamed at the top of his lungs. "AM I UNDERSTOOD?!"
"Y-Y-Yes, sir!" the military macaw answered, placing his wing up and saluting to the general (still fearful or course).
"...Excellent." Raxos chuckled, calming down from his angry tone once again. He rubbed his two wingtips together while pulling out his sword from his belt. He swerved his sword around a couple of times while he imagined what he would do to this rebels once he got his wings on them. "First, I will destroy that stupid little base of theirs. Then, I will take all of them prisoners and lock them away. And then, just to finish off, I will get Sapphire, and CUT OFF HER WINGS AND TALONS!"
Back in the Jungle of Rio, Sapphire, Joe, Rico, and the gangsters finally made it back to the military macaw base just in time before it was sunrise. The first thing they did was getting their injured to the medical room before it was too late for the unconscious gangster.
Four of the gangsters were fine-all they needed to do was wait until their feathers on their wings grew back so they could fly again. One of the other gangsters had a broken rib and needed bandages around his stomach. The gangster who was unconscious however, was laying in a nest with bandages wrapped around his chest, his forehead, part of his right wing, and one of his talons (the left one).
David placed his wingtip on the gangsters' pulse, and sighed in relief, knowing that the gangster was just going to be fine. He turned back to Sapphire, who was merely observing the entire time. "He's going to be fine and make a full recovery. He just needs to rest for a few days."
The other gangsters sighed in relief. They were now relaxed and happy that their friend was going to be just fine.
Sapphire however, was still worried about Blu, and was praying for the best that he was going to be okay, and hopefully would be found soon before more trouble would arrive. She leaned up and looked up at the ceiling while thinking to herself: "Wherever you are, Blu, I hope you're okay, and hope you can survive out there."
"Sapphire..." Joe soothed, as he placed his wing upon her shoulder for comfort. "I know you want to find Blu, but it's too dangerous to go exploring near the prison-especially now. If Blu is alive, we better hope he can survive in the Jungle for the day.
"I know, Joe...I know." Sapphire said, wiping a slight tear away from her eye with a single wingtip. "But, now is not time for worrying. We have work to do."
Joe nodded in response while he looked at the six gangsters in the medical room with him. "You four; go to the barracks to rest and recover. As for you two, you will stay in here until your injuries are healed."
Four of the gangsters nodded in agreement and exited the room together. The gangster with the broken ribs laid down in the nest to get some rest. The gangster who was unconscious didn't say nothing (because he's unconscious of course).
Meanwhile, outside of the rebel base and into the Jungle was King Lenny's pyramid, and right at the top of the pyramid, King Lenny was standing on the roof of the pyramid right next to edge, the scepter in his wing, his cape blowing to the side from the wind, and a grin on his beak. Usually the top of a pyramid was pointy, but this pyramid had a square shaped roof to stand on.
Lenny sighed as he looked down at the Orb of Light placed on top of the scepter. He then looked over at the Jungle, and was happy that all of this was his, and he would not dare let any bird"Ahhhh, my beautiful Jungle. One day those rebels will be defeated, and then things will finally be perfect."
The evil king looked down from his pyramid, and right at the bottom of the pyramid that was surrounded by a wall-a few birds were trying to break into the pyramid once again. However, they didn't even get past the protective wall, and were soon defeated by Lenny's guards.
"So pathetic." Lenny talked to himself while laughing a little, finding their efforts to be pointless. "Even if they could get past the wall, their puny weapons would be no match for my power."
Lenny watched the surviving rebels be taken captive by the military and been restrained with shackles. They were now being taken away into slavery for the military, and there was nothing they could do to escape.
King Lenny decided he had seen enough for one day, and went back inside the pyramid into his room. And when he was inside, he took of his crown, cape, and placed the scepter down onto a table while he laid down on his nest, and decided to have a little rest for the rest of the morning.
Back at the military macaw prison, Raxos was close to losing his temper one more time due to his new men still not being here yet. He growled silently as he looked towards the four military macaws in the cellblock area with him, and decided to shout out them. "YOU! Where are the martial-artists?"
"Uh...Uh..Well, sir-I." the military macaw struggled to get his words out of his beak while he nervously rubbed the back of his head with his wing.
"You, see, sir," the other military macaw began to stutter, he too rubbing his wing nervously. "Well, we..."
"Ye-e-e-e-e-es?" Raxos said, folding his wings together and tapping his talon down on the ground, wanting some answers right now.
Before the military macaws could find answer or make up more excuses, Raxos turned his attention towards the end of the hallway where he saw two military macaws coming straight in his direction, and they were doing backflips towards him.
Raxos chuckled as he rubbed his two wings together, watching the two macaws finally get over to him. "Excellent."
The two martial-artists got in front of the general and placed their wings on their foreheads, saluting him. The two macaws greeted to the general simultaneously together. "We have arrived, sir, and are ready for orders, sir!"
The two martial-artists were military macaws just like the rest of the army except they were trained martial-artists with skills none of the regular soldiers have. They also wore black overalls all across their body; the only part of their body that showed was their eyes and talons. And for extra-protection, they wore light red body armor vest across their chests.
Raxos could see these were just the types of men he needed to finally end the rebels' cause once and for all. He chuckled and rubbed his wings together evilly. "Excellent. Are there more of you?"
"Yes, sir! The rest our outside, sir!" the two martial-artist macaws together.
"Hahahaha!" Raxos laughed evilly, pulling his sword from his belt and raising it into the air, finally determined that he was going to win once and for all. "Nothing can stop me now!"
Well, ladies and gentleman. The martial-artists macaws have arrived, and they are unique warriors when it comes to combat. Let's hope that they can be defeated in combat. Stay tuned for more everyone, and don't forget to review. :D
