Deleted Chapters
Hey everyone, this is a rather just a quick message to you readers. As you know, I finished all the stories I had planned, but I was wondering if any of you want me to continue writing? I don't think I could make any stories better than my Rio the Darkness Saga. If you do want me to continue, let me know in the reviews or messages, and I might consider it. Thanks.
Shortly after rescuing the three light macaws from captive, the feathered friends made their way back into the open area where there were four different doors leading into cell block areas and one big door that seemed to be their way out.
They still had two more hallways to check before leaving, and hopefully they could find Jewel, Rafael and Eva, and get out of there before they were spotted.
"We still got two more hallways to check." Rico stated the obvious, looking to both hallways as he tried to decide which one to go to first.
"We should split up." the captain suggested, while setting down his injured soldier down onto the ground for a moment. "We can cover more ground."
"True, but we only have one key." Rico reminded, waving the key around in the air for a couple of seconds.
"I got a plan." the captain assured, turning to the others while Rico opened each wooden door to the two separate hallways. "Me and my men will check down this hallway, and the rest of you check the other hallway. If we find someone, we will come and get you for the key."
Rico nodded in agreement before he got the second hallway door open for them. He opened it carefully, checking for any hostiles, but it seemed to be empty...For now, anyway. "Alright, it's clear. Let's go everyone."
Blu nodded as he pushed himself into the hallway with the kids, and Nico and Pedro flying beside him. As soon as they were in, Rico wished the captain good look as he closed the wooden door, followed by locking it to avoid suspicion.
"Okay, we need to check every cell here." Blu declared, placing his wings to the sides of his wheelchair. "Check through the keyholes, and if you find anyone we know, call out."
"Can we help, Dad?" Crystal inquired, wanting to make herself anyway possible since she was just a little girl, but her intelligence made up for that.
Blu thought about it for a moment, thinking that it could be dangerous sending them to check, but then again, this whole place was dangerous. He made his mind up after a few seconds, giving his daughter an answer. "Okay, honey, you can help. But, stay in sight, and if you see any dark macaws, run back here, okay?"
"Okay, Dad." Crystal smiled, setting herself away with her brothers where they began to search the left side of the hallway.
"We'll check this side." Nico told Blu, flying towards the first cell on the right side of the hallway with his best friend beside him.
Blu could only watch as his family and friends searched both sides of the area, but for some unknown reason, he felt like he needed to go to the cell directly at the end of the hallway, near a small turning. He pushed himself towards the end of the hallway while everyone else checked other cells, too busy to even know he was moving.
Blu eventually got to the end of the hallway, and was about to check the cell until he suddenly felt a large, wooden impact whack him against his head with a powerful force, but fortunately for Blu, it was not hard enough to knock him unconscious.
He rubbed his good wing against the back of his head in an attempt to ease the pain. "Ow, what the heck was that!-" the blue macaw was cut off when a familiar face stood at the side of him, armed with a wooden staff. "Jewel!"
"Blu!" she cried out, dropping the staff and immediately changing her expression when seeing her husband.
Everyone stopped checking the cells and immediately darted towards the end of the hallway towards the reunited blue macaws. Blu and Jewel hugged each other into a tight embrace, never being happier to be with one and other.
The others watched the two reunited lovebirds comfort each other, and found it adorable (all except for Rey and Azul, who thought it was disgusting).
Jewel eventually ended the hug where she placed her wings onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes apologetically. "Blu, I'm so sorry. Your talons are broken and your wing are injured because of me. If I wasn't in the way, you wouldn't have to save me, and...""
"Jewel, don't say that. What happened to me wasn't your fault." Blu assured her, taking his right wing into both of his own. "I chose to save you."
Blu placed his right wing around the back of her neck while placing the tip of his left wing onto her beak to shush her from apologizing further. He pulled her closer until their faces were only a couple of inches away from each other's.
The two blue macaws closed their eyes as their beaks locked into each other's, sharing a passionate kiss to celebrate their reunion.
"Awwww!" Nico, Pedro, and Rico cooed, finding their romantic moment to be adorable.
"Eeeeew!" Rey and Azul complained, covering their eyes in an attempt to block out the sight of their folks sharing a wonderful moment.
The two ended their kiss after a few more seconds where they both looked into each other's eyes, smiling across their beaks. While they were speaking, Nico and Pedro went to check the rest of the cells in the area to make sure they did not miss anyone else who could be there.
Blu kept a smile across his beak as he rubbed the back of his head for a second time. "Jewel, you hit me on the head pretty hard."
"Oh, Blu, you know I would never hurt you on purpose." Jewel assured in a somewhat teasing tone, but decided to get back to the situation at hand. "Blu, listen. You've been here before. Is there anywhere we can go once we get out of this prison?"
"As a matter fact, there is." Blu answered, leaning back against his wheelchair while holding his wings together. "Before I gave up the Darkness, I made a trip here and built a little underground hideout. It has nests for us to sleep, food, medicine, everything we need."
"Wow. You sure think one step ahead." Jewel complimented with a smile across her beak. "I'm impressed."
"A man's got to be prepared for the worse." Blu replied, as Jewel stood behind him and pushed him towards down the hallway a couple of feet. "Now, let's get out of here. Is there anyone else we need to find?"
"A couple of light macaws we found went to look for Rafael and Eva in the other hallway area." Jewel answered, while she and the others began to make their way out of the hallway. "We need to find them, Rafael and Eva, and then we can get out here."
"Getting out of here isn't going to be easy." Blu replied, not wanting to scare everyone but to get them prepared instead if the worse was to happen. "Even if we got a master key-"
"And a taser." Rico interrupted him, sparking the taser to remind them they did have a weapon.
"AND a taser." Blu added, sighing as he continued the rest of his sentence whilst his wife continuing pushing him out of the hallway area. "Anyway, even if we have a master key and a weapon, there are hundreds of guards in this place. It won't be easy."
"I know, Blu." Jewel replied, watching as her four children walked beside her closely. "But we are going to try, right?"
"Of course we are, Jewel." Blu assured her, as his while stopped him for a moment so Rico could open the hallway access door. "I may be half broken right now, but I'm not going to let Nexus win."
"Let's just get out this prison first." Rico said, placing the key out from the wooden door where he opened it, leading everyone else out where they were greeted by the three light macaws. "Well, lookie here."
"Everyone, we found your friends." the captain replied, smiling as he moved aside, revealing the two toucans, who looked happy to be free and see their friends.
"Rafael, Eva! You guys are okay." Blu enthusiastically said, as he and Jewel moving their way towards the two toucans where they each hugged one of them.
"Blu, what happened to you?" Rafael inquired, placing both of his wings upon his friend's shoulders, concerned for her after he just witnessed his wing and talons.
"Don't worry about me Rafael." Blu assured him. "I'll be fine. Just need to rest."
"Good, It was bad in there, amigo." Rafael replied, leaning out from the female blue macaw's hug and placing his right wing over Eva. "But we're free, and now all we wanna do is concentrating on getting out of here."
"Way ahead of you." Blu replied, beckoning for Rico to go ahead and open the big door that looked like the main way out of here. He turned back around where Rico was preparing to open the door now that it was unlocked, and gave a nod to Jewel, who nodded back in return. "Okay, guys. We're going to need to pass through a few cell block areas. Is everyone ready?"
"We're ready." Jewel answered, walking behind Blu was she prepared to get out of here as soon as possible. "Kids, stay close to me and your father. Alright, let's go."
Blu nodded, and turned back to Rico, who opened the wooden door, holding the taser in his talon as his main weapon. The second he opened it, the feathered friends moved as fast as they could, not stopping for anything.
Meanwhile, back in Rio de Janeiro, Nexus had ordered the army of dark macaws to cover parts of the jungle while he had just made their way to the cliffs of the jungle, needing to rest for the day after a long journey of searching for the ancient scroll.
It was going to be a long sunny day when sunlight would rise, and if Nexus was out that, it would injure him greatly, and delay him more time from finding the scroll
For a place to stay, Nexus had found a hole in the cliffs of the jungle that was full of pure darkness in the inside, and this was just the perfect place for someone of his kind (although he is the only one of his kind).
Using his demon arms and serpent heads, Nexus made his way into the hole in the cliff and walked inside as far as he could to avoid being caught in any sunlight at all. He sat down at the end of the cliffs, leaning his back against the wall where he sighed. "This search is becoming almost too much for me to handle. I must find better assistance to find the scroll. The sooner I find it, the soon I can finally destroy this pathetic jungle, and then take me revenge on the blue macaw!"
He stood back up and walked towards the edge of the hole of the cliff where he spread out his wings out, followed by summoning the serpent heads and the demon arms out where the serpent heads roared.
Nexus laughed evilly as he looked towards the full moon, wanting nothing more than to end what his ancestors had started since the beginning of time itself. "I will destroy this pathetic jungle! I will take my revenge on the blue macaw! And then, I will take the powers of my ancestors, and their souls will BE MINE! I WILL BE UNSTPOABLE!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Back in the World of the Darkness, the feathered friends were almost at the exit to the prison, but unfortunately, their plan to escape without being detected had not been successful. They had been spotted, and now dark macaws were apprehending them.
Eventually, the group had managed to get to the big area where they were brought in. All of them ran through the entrance there. They blocked the way in there so no more dark macaws could follow them.
"We're almost there!" Blu yelled, pushing himself towards the huge prison door entrance/exit that would finally grant them their freedom. "Just keep running!"
"Copy that!" Rico replied, locking the door behind them as the captain of the light macaws held it shut. "Let's go!"
The feathered friends ran towards the prison entrance, finally thinking this was over until they found their way had been blocked off by a bunch of dark macaws, who were mostly unarmed, but they outnumbered them by two to one.
"Oh, give me a break!" Blu complained, halting in his steps as he tried to figure what to do next.
Everyone had halted to a stop. All except for Rico that it, who charged towards the entrance, holding a wooden staff as a weapon. "I'm not going to stop just because of you!"
Everyone else could only watch as Rico rammed into the entire group or dark macaws blocking their way, knowing almost every last one of them to the ground like bowling pins.
As they were about to move on, the door behind them broke down where the warden and a few other dark macaws marched out, most of them holding staffs (except for the warden, who was holding a flintlock pistol).
"Move in on them!" the warden ordered, waving his wings towards his men as a signal to attack. "Keep the blue macaws alive, but as for the rest, do what you want with them!"
The dark macaws nodded as they charged towards the birds from Rio, crying out battle cries as they moved in on them.
Despite being unarmed and outnumbered, everyone there was not going to give up just yet. Jewel picked up a wooden staff to protective and began to hold them back, knocking some of them down. She looked back towards the others, who seemed to be holding their own (especially Rico, who was easily holding them back with his bare wings). "Guys! Hold them back until we have an exit!"
Blu could only watch as he was defenseless to do anything in his condition. He kept his children close as he moved out of the way from the short battle that had just commenced.
As the battled continued, Nico, who was eluding the dark macaws and tricking them into hitting each other, jumped up where he could see the warden aimed his pistol towards Blu, who was too busy protective his children to notice.
In the quick of a flash, Nico took off his bottle cap and threw it directly towards the warden's wing, knocking the weapon out from his wing before he even had the chance to fire. He chuckled as he caught his bottle cap. "Take that you...Uh...Dangit; nothing rhymes with 'warden'?"
"Nico, concentrate!" Jewel reminded, whacking away a dark macaw with her weapon.
"Right!" the canary replied, dodging more of the dark macaw's attacks.
It did not take long for the warden to recover. He pulled out a small dagger from one of the dark macaw's belts and approached Blu, who seemed to be busy to even notice him. His plan was to injure the macaw, and use him as his ticket to winning this battle, knowing his friends would surrender for the sake of his life.
The warden got directly behind Blu and prepared to stab him directly in the wing, but he was forced to stop when something round and sharp hit his eye that caused him to drop towards the ground.
"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed out in agony, collapsing to the ground where he caught everyone's attention. He held his wing over his right eye while watching with his good eye on the person who hit him
Nico caught his bottle-cap yet again and laughed in victory. He quickly departed to join with the others. Now that the dark macaws were distracted with their leaders' sudden yells, this was the perfect chance for everyone to escape.
Jewel made her way back over to Blu, who hugged his children close in a protective matter. She quickly got behind him and pushed him out from the prison doors.
"No, stop them!" the warden warned, able to stand up under his own strength. He was not willing to let them escape as he knew the consequences afterwards. "Throw a flash bang!"
One of the dark macaws obeyed and pulled out a flash bang from his belt, throwing it directly towards the ground as they escaped.
Rafael, who was followed the others had just tripped over as he exited the prison. He was about to get up before he gasped when he saw the flash bang had landed only a couple of feet away from him.
Quick as a flash, Rafael rolled out of the way and covered his eyes with her wings a second before the flash bang exploded. A slight pitch hearing was left in his eardrums for a couple of seconds, but it soon passed. He got up and proceeded to join the others.
"Rafael!" Eva cried, quickly flying back towards her husband as she helped up.
"I'm all right, Eva." he assured, quickly following her out of the prison with the rest of their friends.
As everyone else exited the prison, Blu did a quick headcount to make sure everyone was here and accounted for. He countered everyone (including himself), but noticed there was only thirteen of them. "Where's Rico?"
Everyone turned their attention back towards the prison where Rico was still holding them back, knocking each one of them down as he yelled out, whacking them back with a bow staff.
"Rico!" Blu called out to him, placing both of his wings to the side of his beak. "Let's go!"
"I'll catch up!" Rico assured, kicking a dark macaw away, not bothering to look back at his friends. "Just go!"
"Blu, we need to go!" Jewel said, moving beside him as she took his right wing in her own. "We can't help him! If we don't escape, they will get out here and capture us all!"
As much as Blu did not want to leave Rico (despite him not being the same one he knew), he knew his wife was right and they had to leave. He pushed himself away and began making his way into the dark forest with the others following closely, leaving the hawk behind to defend himself against them.
The feathered friends had gained a lot of distance between them and the prison. It was harder than it looked then since two of them were injured. Blu was wheelchair bound with broken talons and an injured wing and there was the light macaw, who was losing consciousness fast!
Everyone took couple of breaths for a moment as they hid behind a tree, suspecting the dark macaws may be following them.
"That was close!" Blu admitted, gasping slightly as he placed his tired wings back to his sides.
"Can't believe all of us made it." Nico said, thinking that they were all just pure lucky to have made it out of there.
"Not all of us." Blu reminded, looking back into the distance. "Rico didn't make it. He's still there!"
"Rico stayed there so all of us could escape!" the captain countered, setting down their injured man against a tree where the doctor examined him. "How's he doing?"
"Not good, sir." the light macaw admitted, placing his wing against his forehead. "He needs medical attention, now."
The captain could only worry as he looked towards the blue macaw, who was keeping an eye out for enemies. "How much further to this base of yours, Blu?"
"Only a couple more minutes there." Blu assured them, until the sound of footsteps suddenly shot through his eardrums that caused him to beckon everyone back. "Get down! I heard someone coming!"
Everyone obeyed, and knelt down to avoid detection. Blu could only wait as the footsteps got closer to him, and the only weapon he had was the taser he got back from Rico before they left.
The footsteps were now only a few feet away. Jewel, who still had a wooden staff as a weapon, snuck closer to the sounds of the footsteps, preparing to attack whoever was close by. In a split-second, Jewel jumped out on their attacker and whacked the wooden staff against their head as hard as she could with all of her strength.
She was about to continue her attack, but instead, she frowned as helped the figure up. "Rico. You scared us."
"Sorry." he shrugged, while rubbing his wing against his head where she had hit him pretty hard. "That hurt, you know."
"How did you escape?" Jewel inquired, thinking that no-one (even someone as tough as Rico) could have made it out of there in one piece. "When we saw you, you were surrounded by a lot of them."
"What can I say?" Rico replied, shrugging his shoulders. "I haven't had a drink in a while. I was angry."
"Right." Blu skeptically said, turning himself around where he began to make his way towards the direction they were going. "Well, come on, everyone. The base is not that far now."
Back in the prison where the feathered friends had just escaped from, the warden could only groan in agonizing pain as he sat up against the wall in the area they were all just defeated in while a doctor attended to his eye, and a couple of other dark macaws stood silent and helped out their fellow comrades.
"Unbelievable!" the warden shouted, fully disappointed with everyone here. "All of you were defeated by one hawk!"
"He was tough!" a dark macaw argued, rubbing his head with his wing as he was helped up by his colleagues.
"I don't care-oh." he groaned when the medic pushed a little harder on his eye. "Oh, where is that big macaw with the one wing and the deep voice when ya need him?"
"Kirilenko?" the dark macaw finished for him.
"Yeah, yeah, him." the warden replied, shifting his good eye back towards the doctor. "How's my eye anyway?"
"A little bit swollen that may blur your vision for a little while, but it should recover in a couple of weeks." the doctor answered as he leaned back and took a couple of steps away. "Sir, you should rest."
"I don't need rest! Ow!" he cried out, holding his wing against his eye yet again. "Am I going to need bandages of what?"
"You're going to need to wear an eye patch for a while." the doctor declared, as he walked away and proceeded to get the warden his medical treatment.
The dark macaw who stood only a couple of feet away spoke up after standing in silent for a while. "Sir, should we alert Lord Nexus?"
"Absolutely not!" the warden replied, still groaning pain in his eye. "No-one tells him nothing! I will have those birds macaw here before they have the chances to get far! Ow! My eye."
He hoped it would not take long for his eye to heal, but that is not what he was worried about the most. He knew Lord Nexus would never forgive him if he found out they had escaped, and it was the warden's job to get them back before Nexus could find out.
"I will not fail my task." the warden thought to himself, needing to find those prisoners as soon as he was fixed up. "Lord Nexus put me as a warden because he trusts me, and I will not let him down. I will find those prisoners, and this time, they will not escape!"
And chapter completed, ladies and gentlemen. As you can see, Rafael was never injured in this story and the warden had his eye injured from Nico instead of being injured in his thigh by Jewel. But that's not all that will change. Stay tuned for the next alternative chapter.
