Rio the Darkness 5: Alternative Darkness

chloemcg: Yep, martial-artists are evil alright. And glad to see you're keeping Birds of a feather. And hope you have a fun day in Londa, my friend. :D And I can wait for the next chapter. Don't worry. And thank you. I hope you have a nice day too.

(non-member) Haloplayer: How do I think of all these ideas, you ask? I'm just awesome. :D And I plan them out.


Meanwhile, at another part of the Jungle-far from the King's pyramid, Rico the Black Hawk with David and two other gangsters were sneaking around the Jungle, looking for food.

Rico heard someone coming so he quickly flew into an empty tree hollow, seconds later, David and the two gangsters followed him.

The Hawk peaked out from the tree hollow to see four military macaws guarding the area while also talking to each other. Two of them were regular military macaws, but the other two looked different. They were wearing black overalls all cross their body (except for their eyes and talons) and were wearing light red body armor vests on them.

Rico studied the two macaws wearing the overalls while he stroked his chin with a wingtip. "Hmmm, I've never seen these type of macaws before. They look new."

David made his way closer to Rico and looked out of the hollow to see those mysterious military macaws. "Rico, what time of macaws are those? I've never seen them before."

"I'm not really sure." Rico replied, still studying the macaws, who were talking with each other with theirs wings crossed. "They look like ninjas."

"Do you think they're tough?" David asked, looking at both Rico and the new types of military macaws at the same time. "I think they're the martial-artists I heard about."

"Only one way to find out." Rico said, extending his wings out from his sides, preparing to takedown the four macaws. He looked back at David before jumping, and saluted him by placing his wing over his head. "Wish me luck."

Rico jumped down onto the first regular military macaw, and already he was knocked down, but Rico had caught the attention of the other three macaws.

The other regular macaw raised the axe he was carrying in his wing as a weapon and attempted to kill Rico, only to be countered and being slammed into a tree by Rico.

Rico looked back over at the two martial-artists, who were now preparing for combat. He cracked his wings together and prepared to take them down too. "That was easy. Now you're next."

The Hawk charged at the martial-artists with his wing curled like a fist, ready to attack. However, he was completely surprised when the martial-artists had blocked his attack and countered Rico by kicking him back over to the tree.

"..Ow...Oh, that hurt." Rico grunted, as he struggled to get back up onto his talons.

The martial artists performed a front flip towards Rico, and kicked both his talons into Rico's face, knocking him back again.

Rico struggled to get back up again while he watched the two martial-artists perform all martial arts skills to show off. "Okay, I've seen some kung-fu stuff back in my day, but that just ain't cool!"

Rico approached the martial-artists and attempted to throw multiple hits at him. The martial-artist dodged each one of Rico's swings until he eventually countered the Hawk's wing, and hit him back down to the ground again before he performed a backflip to gain some distance for his next attack.

Once again-Rico got back up onto his talons, and now he was slightly more angry than he was a moment ago. "Okay, now I'm angry."

Rico got back up onto his talons again and rubbed his stomach with his wing while thinking to himself: "Ohh, I wish I brought that body armor now."

The martial-artists standing on the the left made his way towards Rico while performing frontflips.

Rico put on his angry expression and waited for the martial-artist to get close. As the martial artist got close, he leaped into the air and prepared to fly kick the hawk, but this time: Rico acted first, and gripped the martial-artists talon and through him into a tree.

"Haha! Take that, ninja boy!" Rico laughed, as he curled his wings like fists again, preparing to battle the two martial-artists. "Now, let's do this!"

I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)

The martial-artist on the ground jumped back up onto his talons and began a few kung fu attacks at the hawk.

Rico blocked a couple of them, but did get hit in the chest a couple of times. He groaned and kicked the martial-artist in the face.

TURN IT DOWN YOU SAY,
WELL ALL I GOT TO SAY TO YOU IS TIME AND TIME AGAIN I SAY, "NO!"
NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
TELL ME NOT TO PLAY

WELL, ALL I GOT TO SAY TO YOU WHEN YOU TELL ME NOT TO PLAY,

I SAY, "NO!"
NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
SO, IF YOU ASK ME WHY I LIKE THE WAY I PLAY IT
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I CAN SAY TO YOU

Rico grabbed the other martial-artist and tied his wings around his neck to keep him secured.

The martial-artist placed his talon on the nearby a tree to push himself back, and perform a backflip to force Rico to release his grip.

Rico kicked the martial-artist's stomach and prepared to hit him again-only to be stopped by the other martial-artist, who placed both his wings around Rico's neck to keep him steady.

I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)

The other martial-artist flipped back up onto his talons and prepared to take Rico down now on his own.

Rico ducked the martial-artists wing and tricked him into hitting his own partner. The Hawk chuckled as he broke free from the martial-artist's grip and hit him in the stomach and then in the face.

THERE'S A FEELIN' THAT
I GET FROM NOTHIN' ELSE AND THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' IN THE WORLD
THAT MAKES ME GO!
GO! GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

Rico and one of the martial-artist gripped each other in their wings and tried to push the other back. The martial-artist headbutted Rico and then attempted to kick him again and knock him away.

Though Rico was hit in the face by the martial-artist, he managed to catch the martial-artists talon and flip him to the floor followed by a hit to the face from Rico's wing.

TURN THE POWER UP
I'VE WAITED FOR SO LONG SO I COULD HEAR MY FAVORITE SONG SO,
LET'S GO!
GO! GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

WHEN IT'S LIKE THIS I FEEL THE MUSIC SHOOTIN' THROUGH ME
THERE'S NOTHIN' ELSE THAT I WOULD RATHER DO

The martial-artist performed frontflips in an attempt to defeat Rico, and capture him for their General.

As he got close, Rico picked up a big stick and whacked the martial-artist away into another tree. He chuckled and swung the stick around in his wing like he ninja. "Haha!"

I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)

The other martial-artist jumped over to Rico and delivered to hits to Rico's chest and stomach, but Rico managed to counter his third attack by gripping his leg with his talon and pulling him to the floor.

I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)

Rico forced the martial-artist back onto his talons, and began a series of quick-focused attacks onto the military macaw martial-artist until he was stopped by the other martial-artist, who grabbed Rico with his talon and threw him to the ground, and prepared to stomp on his face.

ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)

Rico dodged the martial-artist's talon just in the nick of time by rolling away. He flipped the martial-artist to the ground before getting back up onto his own talons. He got hit a few times by the other martial-artist and was now being held in his talon.

Rico struggled for air, and in a quick hesitate to escape, he lifted his talon up and slowly clawed the martial-artist's stomach, leaving him in pain, and a huge scratch mark on his overalls.

ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)

I WANNA ROCK

The martial-artist was forced to let Rico go in pain, and when he did, Rico tackled him to the ground, and began hitting him across his face multiple times with his wings curled like fists.

I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK)

The other martial-artist soon recovered, and pulled Rico off of his partner, and kicked the Hawk into a tree, hurting his back with quite a bit of pain. He helped his partner up, and now they were both angry, and ready to finish this now.

I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)

The two martial-artists gave signals to each other using their wingtips, and what they were signalling was to take Rico at the same time.

Rico got back up onto his talons one more time, and he could see both martial-artists were standing on both the left side and the right side of the hawk, both preparing to do a fly kick on him to end this.

ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
I WANT TO ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)

The two martial-artists leaped into the air, each with their right talon out, preparing to finally finish this once and for all. Just as they were close to kicking Rico, he moved out the way, and trick them both into hitting each other, and falling to the ground.

They both groaned as they rubbed where they were hit, and tried to get back up onto their talons again, but they were too weak.

ROCK (ROCK)
I WANNA ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)
ROCK (ROCK)

Rico waited for both the martial-artists to get back up onto their talons, but they were still too weak and too dazed to attack again. The Hawk placed both his wings on the back of their heads, and slammed them into each other-performing a little move Rico liked to call the "double takedown"-and knocked them both out instantly.

I WANNA ROCK

Rico laughed in victory with his wings raised in the air. But before long, he was tired from the battle, and fell down into some long grass while panting a little.

David, who had been watching the entire time, jumped out of the tree hollow and flew down to the Hawk to check if he was okay. He landed down near the long grass to investigate if he was alright. "Are you OK, Rico?"

Rico responded to the blue macaws' question with a slight mumble in his sentence. "I need a drink."

David smirked in response while folding his wings together with his eyes half-closed. "Gin, vodka, or whiskey?"

Rico smiled in response while he sighed and placed both his wings behind the back of his head with his eyes closed. "Rum, please."


Well, everyone. This was different. It is normally Blu doing all the battles, (speaking of him, where could be be?) but Rico got to do it this time, and he defeated two of the ten martial-artists. He should be fine. As soon as he has some beer. :D

Stay tuned for more, everyone.
