Rio the Darkness 5: Alternative Darkness
Alright, everyone. Chapter 32 is here and still plenty more to go in this story. Before we begin, some replies to a couple of people.
chloemcg: I wish you well on all of your stories and hope you can complete them all soon. And yes, Rico did act like that indeed, didn't he? Over his vodka. And I like your suggestion, it sounds really good. But I have this story planned to the end. So, you could use that idea into your stories if you wanted to. And hope you enjoy the rest. :D
(non-member) Guest: Thank you. Hope you enjoy the rest.
After defeated Asya and Anox; two of the four assassins, Blu and Rico were now back to the rebel base, and both of them cheered as they spun around in circles, dancing around as they entered the same room with Sapphire and David.
"Woo-hoo!" Blu whooped, sliding down onto a soft chair with a smile.
"Haha!" Rico laughed, also sitting down into another chair beside Blu.
"What are you two so happy about?" Sapphire inquired, while folding both of her wings together with a normal face, but with a slight smile of course.
"WE, just defeated Asya and Anox." Blu declared, leaning back on his chair while stretching his wings.
"Two of the four assassins sent to get us." Rico added, placing both of his silhouette wings behind the back of his head with a smirk. He then lifted his left wing back out in front of his face and counted his wingtips to figure out how many assassins were left. "We defeated Anton, Anox, and Asya. Now all that's left is Exo."
"I don't like the sound of that." Sapphire said, sitting down onto a soft chair with the blue macaws and hawk. "Exo is a very dangerous assassin. Almost impossible to defeat."
Blu arched a curious eyebrow, wondering who Exo was and why he could be the worst out of the other three assassins he has encountered so far. "Sapphire, who is Exo? What's his story?"
Sapphire sighed as she began to explain to Blu, Rico and David the story about Exo and why he was so dangerous. She exhaled a deep breath before finally explaining the story to the other birds. "Exo was once a proud soldier to the scarlet macaw army in America. He was the most greatest soldiers in the World, always obeying orders. One day, the army he worked for needed someone to test on an experiment, and Exo was the one to volunteer..."
Sapphire went silent for a few seconds, and David was the first to ask her to continue. "What happened then, Sapphire?"
"...He was injected with something that was suppose to help him be quicker in battle. However, something went wrong. He was injected with physical powers, boosting his immune system higher than any other bird, and making him stronger, quicker, and smarter. He attacked his own army and escaped, and left America and came to Brazil." Sapphire continued, looking down at her talons while continuing her words. "He trained; making himself into a professional martial-artist, and armoring himself with weapons and armor."
Sapphire then stood and approached Blu with a serious face as she talked, her voice gentle yet serious. "Blu, you must be extremely careful if you go head-to-head with Exo. He has five times the skills and training you have, and if he sees you, he will not hesitate to kill you."
"Sapphire...I promise to be careful if I ever see him." Blu promised her while smiling to assure her he would be fine and nothing bad would ever happen to him.
The following day, night time had finally arrived throughout Rio, and it was time for the rebels to tuck in for the night and hopefully, plan their next strategy in the morning.
In the blue macaw named Blu was sleeping in his own room in the rebel base, moving around in his nest a little while he slept.
He mumbled a couple of words to himself in his sleep, tossing and turning a little in his nest. "Lenny...Orb...Power...No.."
Blu's dream
The military macaw Captain slowly walked towards Blu, and for some reason, he was carrying a brown bag on his back. "Hey, Blu. Good to see you."
"You, too." Blu smiled, sitting himself up to talk to the Captain macaw with a smile. "What brings you from the prison all the way out here?"
"Oh, I was just flying around the Jungle." Lenny answered, rubbing the back of his head with his wing modestly. "And I would like to thank you for saving me the other day."
"No problem." Blu smiled, before he arched a curious eyebrow when he noticed Lenny was wearing a bag. "What's in the bag, Lenny?"
Lenny had a slightly worried face as he took of his bag and held into his wings to show the blue macaw. "I...I found this...My men brought it to me, and I'm not sure what I should do with it exactly..."
Blu slowly approached the macaw Captain, with his wings to his sides until they were only a few feet away. He kindly requested for Lenny to open the back with a slightly worried face. "Lenny, can you open the bag please?"
Lenny hesitated for a slight moment but nether the less, he opened the bag and the second he did, a shining bright light shot from the bag, almost blinding both of the macaws.
Once again, everyone. Blu has a strange dream just like chapter 17. What could it mean? And we now have some information about the final assassin. Let's hope he can be stopped if Blu ever meets him.
