Hello, everyone, here's the next part in the alternative story to "Darkness Reborn". Enjoy.

Shortly after the battle in Rio de Janeiro's jungle, Blu, Jewel, Rafael, Eva, Rico, and the blue macaw kids had been taken prisoner by Nexus and had now been taken back to the World of Darkness where they were to be held prisoner until further notice.

The prison was a few miles away from Nexus's castle in the middle of the woods. It was a huge square building with at least five stories high and it was a protected by a huge wall surrounding the entire building (similar to the giant pyramid protected by a wall in the dream world that Blu had been too).

Inside the medical room of the entire prison deep inside, the unconscious blue macaw named Blu was beginning to wake up after being knocked unconscious by his former, greater enemy Nexus. He slowly regained his vision and began to study his surroundings, and attempted to get up, but Blu was in no position to move. He groaned as he felt his broken talons and his cut open wing send pain shooting through his body. "Oh...The pain..."

A familiar face approached Blu whom was lying across the table and greeted him with an evil smirk across his beak. "Look who's awake. For the one year I was locked away, I have dreamed of this moment to finally defeat you and leave you in agonizing pain."

"Why didn't you...Just kill me, Nexus?" Blu inquired, struggling to get his words out as the pain prevented him from almost moving completely.

"Because I want you to suffer, macaw." Nexus answered, wanting nothing more than one of his greatest enemies to suffer while he destroys everything he cherished and cared for. "You cannot stop me. I will conquer and destroy Rio de Janeiro's jungle. I will become the darkness itself."

"You're wrong, Nexus." Blu countered, refusing to go down without trying to defeat Nexus a second time. He did it once and he could surely do it again if only he could get his light powers back. "You won't win. I will...Stop you."

Nexus merely chuckled in response, finding his words to be nothing but amusing towards him. He curled his wing into a fist and using his super strength, he punched Blu directly in his left broken talon, breaking it even more and causing the defenceless blue macaw to yell out in agony. "I would love nothing more than to stay here and break you with my own wings, but I have work to do rather than waste my time with you, peasant."

The doctor dark macaw, who had been silent the entire time (possibly out of fear that Nexus would kill him if he interrupted) spoken up towards his leader as he made his way towards the exit/entrance. "Lord Nexus, what should I do with him? Should I bandaged him up or leave him like that?"

"Do what you wish with him, doctor." Nexus answered, not caring what would become of the blue macaw as long as he was trapped here. "Either way he won't be going anyway anytime soon."

Meanwhile, in another area of the prison, Jewel, Rafael, Eva, and Rico had been escorted to the first room inside the prison where they were greeted by the warden of this prison. The blue macaw kids had been taken away already, but as for Blu, no-one knew where they had taken him to.

The four friends could only watch as they were sat down on wooden chairs in a row together with rope tied around their bodies and chains attached to their talons to keep them together and from escaping the entire prison.

While they were being held prisoner, the warden had eventually entered the room where he greeted his prisoners. He was the same as other dark macaws, except he was a few inches better than the average dark macaw, and he had slightly darker feathers.

"Look at all of you. Pathetic, weak, useless birds!" the warden judged them, pointing his wingtip to them as they merely stared at him. "Now, Lord Nexus has brought you here until he says different, and while you are in my prison, you will follow my rules! Rule one: do not attempt to escape from the prison. Any attempt to escape will be met with hostile punishment. Rule two: dark macaws have full jurisdiction in this prison. If for any reason a dark macaw gives you an order, you are to do so. And rule three: do NOT leave your cell unless you are told to, otherwise we will consider this as an act of escape, and this will be met with extreme force! Now, men, take these scum to cell block three. I'm sure they will fit just in with the canary and cardinal."

Saying this, it left everyone shocked (especially Jewel who could only think to herself as she already tried to plan an escape route. "Nico and Pedro are here, too? I have to get out of here and find Blu! There has to be some way out of these chains."

Before she could do anything else, Jewel and the others were forced to stand up and were now being escorted towards cell block three. Jewel sure did not know what was going to happen next. Heck, she did not even know where her children or husband were at this moment, but she prayed that they were okay.

Back inside the medical area of the prison block, Blu groaned in pain as the doctor macaw had performed surgery on his talon, leaving him crying out in pain. He could not take this any longer and wished he could get out over and save his family and friends. Finally, the doctor was finished and began to wrap bandage casts around his talons and bandages around his injured wind.

Blu finally was able to lean up where he saw himself in medical room, sitting on a table. He studied his surroundings where there were different types of medical supplies such as: beds, wheelchairs, surgery tools, and medical sinks.

Blu wanted to make haste to escape but he knew he was in no condition to move. He looked towards his left wing where the mark that was cut open was now sewed together with bandages wrapped around his wing. He then turned towards his talons that the doctor had just finished wrapping them bandage casts after they had been broken, leaving only his toes exposed.

"And that should just about do it." the dark macaw admitted, making his way over towards the sink to wash his wings.

Blu was able to keep himself sat upwards while he observed his injuries and tried to figure out how he was going to get out of this one. "I can't walk or fly. This is just perfect. How am I supposed to get out of here?"

The dark macaw dried his wings with a towel and grabbed one of the wheelchairs in the corner, and pushed it over towards Blu, planning on using it to move him. He grabbed Blu-who did not bother to put up any resistance-in his wings and pulled him down into the wheelchair. He picked up a small waist strap and attached around Blu's waist, keeping him held down into the wheelchair. "That should stop you from trying anything funny."

Blu gripped the strap and attempted to pull himself free, but what good would that do? He obviously was not fit for combat, especially in a place so heavily guarded. He folded his wings together and merely watched the guard grab some rope out from a draw, and Blu knew exactly what he was going to do.

The dark macaw stood behind Blu where he began tying the rope around his body to keep his wings held to his sides. He smirked as he tightened the rope slightly, causing Blu to groan in annoyance. "That should do it. Time to get you in a cell."

The dark macaw began to push the wheelchair, escorting the captive macaw out from the medical room and into the prison block area where he handed him over to a couple of guards. "He's all yours, boys."

The other dark macaw chuckled as he stood behind Blu and began pushing him into the next room. The room they entered was an average sized room, but it was quite big. In every corner of the room, there were a total of four wooden doors that all lead into a hallway area with prison cells. The guard pushed Blu through the double doors and escorted him to the cellblock hallway that had the words "Cellblock 3, Hallway C" written above the door. That meant they were deep inside the prison if they were in cellblock area 3.

"At least, we caught the mighty blue macaw." the dark macaw chuckled, while continuing to escort and push him down the hallway. "You're not so tough."

"I would like to see you say that to me if I wasn't tied up, strapped to this wheelchair with broken talons." Blu countered, raising a slight smirk across his beak.

"I would watch your beak, boy, or I'll personally break your other wing." the dark macaw threatened. He eventually brought Blu to a cell where he opened an iron prison door (and this was quite strange to Blu since all the prison cells he saw were usually call bars. Especially when after the amount of times he had visited the military macaw prison).

Using a key from his belt, the guard opened up the door, revealing a small room inside with only a bed, a small table, and a mirror and pushed Blu inside and placed him at the end of the room.

"Hope you like your new home." the dark macaw chuckled, walking back out towards the cell.

"You won't get away with this!" Blu shouted, but could only watch as the guard closed the prison door, followed by locking it. The second he was alone, Blu desperately struggled his body around, trying to get his wings free from her sides. "I got to get out of these ropes! I got to find Jewel and the others!"

After a couple of moments of struggling, Blu eventually gave up and leaned back against his wheelchair. He looked down at his bandaged talons and wiggling his toes around to see if he could do anything useful with them before sighing in defeat. "No way am I moving my talons. Going to have to use my head for a while. Alright Blu, you can do this."

He studied his cell for a couple of moments, looking for anything useful that he could use to his advantage. But unfortunately, there was nothing he can find, and if there was something, he could not do anything as long as he was tied up and strapped down to a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, back in Rio de Janeiro, Nexus and his entire army of dark macaws had just finished clearing out the military macaw prison so they had nothing to stop (or delay) them. Every military macaw had been locked inside every empty cell in the prison now that the dark macaws were in charge.

Nexus walked with his men as they walked past the prison block area, revealing all the trapped prisoners and military macaws inside. He grinned as he folded his wings together. "I feel somewhat sorry for you. This was almost too easy."

Captain Lenny; leader of the military macaws (who was locked in a cell with Raxos) walked to the cell bars where Nexus was not standing too far away. He angrily banged on the cell bars to get Nexus' attention, demanding to be set free. "Hey! You think we are scared of you!? Let us out of here."

"Do not get my angry, macaw." Nexus threatened, using his dash ability to approach the captain in the quick of a flash. He grabbed Lenny's throat through the cell bars and began to choke him. "You think your threats can scare me?! I defeated all of your macaw friends, and now this jungle belongs to me!"

Nexus dropped the captain macaw, who fell to the ground with a loud thud upon impact. Lenny coughed a couple of times as Raxos came to his side and assisted him.

Nexus turned his attention around to a group of dark macaws standing together, waiting for their next order. He pointed his wing to the dark macaws and gave them their orders. "Men, all of you are charge of this prison. Lock it down once we leave, and do not OPEN it under any circumstances unless it is me! Am I understood?"

They nodded, and saluted their King in respect and fear.

"Alright." Nexus turned around and used his teleportation power to make his way to the main prison door rather than walk or fly there. He dropped down where he walked away, followed by his dark macaws.

He leaded all of his dark macaws to the top of a nearby cliff where they planned their next attack. He sighed as he looked towards the sun, and groaned slightly, feeling it burning against his feathers that prevented him from using any of his powers. "Ugh, I hate the light."

"Do you need to get into complete darkness, Lord Nexus?" one of the dark macaws inquired, setting his weapon up against his shoulder.

"No, I will be fine. All I need is a little shade." Nexus assured, walking into the shade under a nearby tree where it blocked out the sun, and allowed his burn marks to heal in a matter of seconds. "Ahh, that is better. Now, gentleman. It is time for our next plan of action."

"May we ask what that is, Lord Nexus?" another dark macaw inquired.

"We are hunting for an ancient scroll that was buried her over one-hundred years ago." Nexus answered, cracking his wingtips together slightly. "It gives me the power of a million darkness souls that perished a long time ago. With it, I will truly be immortal."

The dark macaws' eyes winded slightly, shocked that their King could truly become unstoppable if he was to find this ancient scroll. All of them were not sure what he would do then, but they would always obey him no matter what.

"And where is this scroll, Lord Nexus?" a dark macaw inquired.

"I do not know, exactly." Nexus admitted, smirking as he used his powers to extract the Orb of Darkness from his body, and into his wing. "But we will find it with this. And once we do, nothing will truly stand in my way."

"It will truly be a pleasure to help you, Lord Nexus." another dark macaw said, grinning as he held up his weapon in his wings.

"Good, that is what I like to hear." Nexus replied, using his dark essence to blend the Orb of Darkness back into his DNA, giving him energy again. "Now, let us be on our way. Before we find the scroll, we need to make sure no-one will interrupt our plans. So be on your guard. The blue macaw has friends, and I got a feeling we did not capture all of them-"

Nexus suddenly paused where he lifted his left talon up and caught an arrow that had almost been shot into him. Not that it would have mattered. He crushed the arrow where he studied the area they were in, hunting down their attackers. "See what I mean, gentleman? Now be on your guard. I go the feeling we will not be alone out here for long."

Back in the World of Darkness, the intelligent blue macaw named Blu leaned back against his wheelchair while trying to get himself free. He took a deep breath while carefully planning his escape to get out of here. "Okay, relax, Blu. Let's just look at the facts: My wings are securely tied to my sides. Alright, got that. I got wiggle my wingtips, but can't get free. I'm strapped down to this wheelchair and it's too tight to wiggle my way free. And I can't move my talons except for my toes. There has to be a way out of here."

Blu dazed out from her thoughts when he could hear the iron door being unlocked from the outside. Rather than be scared, he merely frowned when he could not believe who was here. "Not those idiots again?"

The smart macaw and stupid macaw entered his cell where one of them was carrying a wooden tray with a bowl of...Something inside. They set it down on a table while Blu continued to frown at them.

"Bon Appétit." the smart macaw said, turning around as he prepared to leave the cell.

"Um, and how am I supposed to eat this like this?" Blu inquired, turning her body slightly in an attempt to get her wings out. "Can't you just let me out of those ropes? I'm not really going anywhere."

"You'll figure out." the smart macaw replied, turning around where he accidently walked into his partner, who took it as an offence act and shoved him back. "Hey!"

"Watch where you're walking!" the stupid macaw warned.

"Make me!" the smart macaw ordered, shoving his partner in return where he hit the wall, and on impact, he caused the mirror to fall off the wall.

The two dark macaws wrestled each other as they ended up throwing each other out of Blu's cell. Despite the situation Blu was in, he could not help but chuckle a little when seeing the two morons engage in combat. They continued hitting each other until a guard arrived and eventually broke the duo up.

"Alright, alright, that's enough!" the dark macaw ordered, holding the two idiots back on both sides with both of his wings. "Now, what is wrong with you two? You're supposed to be grown men!"

"He started it!" the stupid macaw accused, acting a childish matter as he pointing towards his partner.

"No, he did!" the smart macaw argued, trying to get to his partner to continue the little childish war they were having.

"I don't care who started it, but I'm finishing it!" the dark macaw replied, pushing them both towards the direction of the hallway exit. "You're both children, ya know that?"

The dark macaw did not forget about the iron door and closed it, followed by locking it. He turned around to see the two idiots began slapping each other. "Hey, I said stop!"

After they were gone, Blu shifted his attention over towards his bed here he discovered the mirror they had knocked off the wall had broken into bits of glass, and one of the mirror glasses had landed on his bed. And it sure did look sharp enough to maybe cut himself free.

"Finally, I can get out here." Blu told himself, while trying to figure out how he was going to move exactly. He began forcing his body over towards his right as much as he could until his back was facing the bed. He grunted and shoved himself back towards, causing his wheelchair to move back every time he moved. He continued doing so until he could not get any closer towards his bed.

"Alright, now to get that mirror piece." Blu said, turning his head around as much as he could to see how far the broken glass was. He was able to lean back enough to push his wingtips through the wheelchair, wiggling them around in an attempt to grab the glass piece. "Come on! Oh, this would be easy if I could use my talons,"

After a couple of moments of struggling, Blu was able to grip the broken piece in his wing and moved it in an upwards position and began rubbing it up and down the ropes. He continued doing so while he prayed that a guard would not enter. Hopefully once he was free, he would be able to finally get free, and find Jewel, Rafael, Rico, and the others, and get out of here before Nexus or anyone else would discover her escape.

After a couple of moments of cutting, his attempts were successful, and the rope dropped from around his body. He laughed in success for moment, feeling quite proud of himself "Alright! Now that I got my wings free, I can get out of here."

Blu placed both of his wings onto the wheels of his wheelchair to get the hang of pushing himself around, knowing he was going to use this for a while to get around. He looked back down towards his strap to see it was still tied around him, and the release button was behind him where he could not reach it.

"I don't I need to take off the strap yet." Blu admitted to himself, folding his wings together as he devised his next plan. "I'm not exactly walking anyway in my condition.

Before long, Blu decided it was time to make a plan to escape this crazy place. He picked up the rope that he was tied up in and rubbed his chin with his wingtips across his right wing, thinking a plan to use this to his advantage. He raised a smile once he thought of the perfect plan. "I think I got an idea."

Alternative chapter completed, folks, and I know this does look the same as the real story, but once we get further in, you will see the difference in storyline. Stay tuned.
