Rio the Darkness 5: Alternative Darkness
chloemcg: You too. :D And you are correct. Anton is an adolescent (he's almost an adult though). He's just a VERY big adolescent. And Raxos is very cruel indeed, he is willing to kill anyone or anything to get what he wants. And thank you very much. :D
(non-member) Haloplayer: Yep, Anton got defeated alright.
(non-member) Guest: Nope, Anton is not Russian. :D
The following day, Blu and Rico were being pursued by a few military macaw soldiers, and had no choice but to split in an an attempt to elude their perusers.
Blu, who had decided to go invisible for cover, investigated the area, checking for any military macaws, and praying that they did lose him and hopefully gave up on their search.
After a couple of minutes, Blu had decided it looked clear enough to leave so went back visible again to continue to make his way back to the rebel base. "Whew, looks like I lose them. Better make my way back to Sapphire and the others."
The blue macaw walked through the Jungle all on his own while still looking around the area for any military macaws in the area. As he walked through the Jungle, he looked up at a nearby tree and there was someone standing in a tree hollow, whom Blu recognised immediately.
The bird figure was the same one Blu had encountered not too long ago. He was the the mysterious figure who wore a silver accented armor across his body and wings, two metal wrist gauntlets just above his wingtips, a red hood followed by a red mask around his head and face (except for the eyes), a belt across his waist, and was wearing a sword holder belt across his chest to hold a sword on his back.
Without hesitation, the blue macaw flew into the sky to meet the mysterious watcher, and hopefully, he would get some answers out of him this time.
Blu landed down into the same tree hollow with the mysterious watcher, and like before, the mysterious watcher spoke first before Blu ask questions. "Are you the one the prophecy spoke of?"
"Prophecy?" Blu thought, cocking his head to the side in confusion, but was distracted and allowed the mysterious watcher to drop a smoke pellet once again, allowing him to escape. "Hey, wait!"
As the smoke cleared away, Blu groaned in frustration when he saw the mysterious watcher was not there once again and he had escaped before Blu could ask any questions.
"Who is that guy?" Blu thought, while flying back down to the Jungle ground. "Prophecy? I'm not a part of any prophecy, am I?"
Blu landed his talons down onto the Jungle ground and began to walk through the Jungle again to make his way back to the rebel base.
As he walked, Blu gasped silently to himself when he heard talon steps creeping his way. He hid by a tree and listened carefully for the possible enemy, and by the sounds of it, they were close.
Blu prepared to attack whoever was heading his way. He hid behind a tree-despite his invisible power-and waited until they were closed.
Blu waited until they were really close to him, and when they were, Blu curled his wing like a fist and ambushed whoever was there, and hit him straight in his beak.
However, Blu gasped and covered his beak up when he realized it wasn't an enemy. "Oh, my. Rico!"
"Blu!" Rico groaned, holding onto his beak with his wings in agonising pain from the blue macaws' force. "Oww, you hit me beak! Oh, it hurts so much!"
"Rico, I am SO sorry." Blu apologized, as he helped the hawk back onto his talons and placed one wing over his neck. "Come on, let's get back to the base."
"Sure..." the hawk mumbled, still holding his beak with one wing while he kept his left wing over Blu. "Oh, it really hurts."
Eventually, the two birds had made it back to the underground rebel base (Rico groaning in pain the entire way) and now they were reunited with Sapphire, Joe, and David, and all of them were now discussing about Blu and Rico's encounter with Anton in the private room.
"So, Raxos' nephew was three times the size of a regular macaw?" David said, trying to be certain he understood what Blu had told him, and was shocked to hear about that.
"How does a bird get that big?" Joe wondered, placing both his wings together around his chest. "What does he eat? Birds?"
The blue macaws and hawk chuckled in response. But even with their laughter now, they knew this war would not end soon, and the peace they were sharing at this very moment.
But they still had hope, and one day, the rebels would strike against the military. One day, they would finally win this war and defeat the evil king once and for all. One day, there would be peace in the Jungle and everything would be back to way it should be: peaceful.
The following day, nighttime had finally arrived in Rio de Janeiro, and it was time for everyone to get their sleep for the night and to rest up until morning had arrived.
The blue macaw named Blu was still fully-awake in his own room he now had in the rebel base. He stared at the ceiling in his room as all of the lights through the base had turned off automatically, leaving the entire base in complete darkness.
Blu sighed as he laid himself down in his nest and rested his head down on a pillow to get some sleep for the night to recover from the battle he had with Anton; one of the four assassins that Raxos had hired to hunt down the rebels.
Blu silently talked in his thoughts while he closed his eyes and folded his wings around his chest. "Anton sure was tough. He was just like Kirilenko...I just hope once I can get to Lenny, I can finally get some answers of what happened? Why everything is like this? Why he has the Orb of Light? And what exactly happened?"
For now, he decided to get some sleep for the night and try to plan more things out in the morning.
Well, that sure was a painful mistake Blu made. :D And the mysterious watcher returns once again. Just what could he want exactly? Is he dangerous? Is he a friend? Maybe Blu will see him for a third time.
