Deleted Chapters
Hello, everyone. Here's the next Alternative chapter to "Darkness Reborn". I hope you all enjoy. Next chapter, we will finally be getting to the part where everything changes. Enjoy the next chapter.
Blu, Jewel, and the rest of their friends and family had finally made it to this underground hideout Blu had claimed he built. They made it to a small hatch against a tree where it was covered in grass and mud so it would blend in with the rest of the forest.
When they were inside, Rico closed the hatch behind him, followed by locking it with a small padlock. He jumped down where the entire hideout was full of complete darkness, not being able to see anything at all.
"Blu, it's dark in here." Jewel said, stating the obvious.
"Hang on, I'll find the switch." Blu replied, extending his wing out where he tried to feel the switch. He continued doing so until he touched something, and attempted to pull it down. "I think I got it."
"Blu, that's my wing." Rico said, frowning despite that fact no-one could see him (or anyone) in this complete darkness.
"Sorry." Blu apologized, placing his wings against the wall where he began to feel for the switch. He continued doing the same thing for a moment until he finally found the switch. "Ha-ha! Got it!"
Blu flicked on the light where it revealed they were in a small room in a square shape, the size of two tree hollows put together, followed by a few wooden doors around the entire room. He pushed himself forward and spread out his wings to his family as he revealed the entire home he made. "Ta-da!"
"Wow, Blu. I got to admit I'm impressed." Jewel admitted, examining the entire room they were in where there was not much except for a couple of bird-sized family-size couch's, followed by a single couch for one person, both in the color brown.
"How did you make all this?" Eva inquired, her too surprised that Blu was able to make all this just by using his brains.
"Just read a little homework stuff from a book." Blu answered, turning himself around where he gestured his wings to each of the wooden doors. "Now, that room there is mine and Jewel's room. The room next to it is for the kids, but as for the other four, they are for guests. And that room there is the medical room, and the one other is where I kept food."
"This place is almost as awesome as our club!" Nico told Pedro, nudging his best friend slightly to gain his attention.
"It is pretty impressive." the captain of the light macaws admitted, as he and the medic macaw helped their injured man walk towards the medical room. "But I think it's best if we take care of our injured first."
"I agree." the medic admitted, struggling to hold their injured man since he was not as strong as the captain, and spent most of his time taking care of the injured. "You have supplies, right?"
"Yep." Blu smiled. "Bandages, medicine, everything you need."
"That's good." the medic replied, lifting his talon up to turn the door handle that lead them into the medic room. "Now, Blu, if you want to come in, too,, I'll be more than happy to take a look at you."
Blu watched as the light macaws entered the same medic room, and was about to follow until something he caught something in the corner of his eye. He turned back around where he turned towards his beautiful wife, who was wrapped up in her wings, obviously cold. "Jewel, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Blu." Jewel assured him, rubbing her wings up and down each other in an attempt to get warm. "It's just a little cold in here."
"There's some blankets in our room." Blu replied, before turning back to the previous subject in hand. "Well, I better get looked at. I'm not sure how much Nexus damaged me."
"Alright, Blu. I'll take care of the kids while you do that." Jewel agreed, leaning down towards him for a moment and pecking the side of the his beak. "What me to push you in there?"
"No thanks, honey, I can manage, thanks." Blu replied smiling, as he placed his wings onto his wheels and pushed himself towards the medic room.
After he was gone, followed by the door closing behind him, Jewel turned her back to the others, who seemed to be getting themselves comfortable in place, and trying to settle in. After all, they were going to be here for a while.
The blue macaw kids had gone into their room that their father had pointed out, obviously tired from being locked in a prison cell, and from the way here. Rafael and Eva sat down on one of the family-size couches, and as for, Nico and Pedro walked into one of the guest rooms together, looking like they needed to talk about something.
Last but not least, Rico sat down on the single sofa chair, sighing as he put his wings to the arms of the chair, needing a long rest after he had single-handedly managed to escape an entire group of dark macaws.
Jewel could only wait as she sat down on a wooden chair, waiting patiently for her husband to return from that room, and hopefully, it would be great news that he was going to be okay. She would love Blu no matter what, but to see him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life would sadden her, knowing how much Blu liked to fly once he had learned how to.
But she had faith. Jewel knew that Blu was tough bird. He would make it through anything, just like he always did. If he could defeat powerful leaders and armies, Jewel knew Blu was going to be just fine, and soon, they would all return back home with their lives back the way they should be.
As she waited, Rico sighed heavily as he placed his wings to his face. He looked towards Jewel, who kept her eyes locked on the door. "Hey, Jewel, what's the date today?"
"I think it's the seventeenth of February." Jewel answered, but was wondering why that mattered at this moment. "Why do you ask?"
"The seventeenth?! NOOO!" Rico screamed, falling to the ground as he placed his wings to his head. "No! I am missing St Patrick's Day! All that sweet, tasty beer! Wh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-y!?" he cried slightly as he slammed his wings to the ground, thinking it was unfair that he spent his favorite day of the year in a World that he did not belong in. "It's not fair!"
Meanwhile, back in the World of the Darkness prison, the warden grunted in pain as the doctor had almost finished tending his wound. He now had a eye patch over his injured eye, making him half-blind for a short little.
"I look like a pirate!" the warden grunted, looking towards two dark macaws, who merely stood there, not sure on what to do next. "Don't just stand there staring at me! Get me a drink!"
The dark macaws nodded as they both ran into opposite direction, accidentally head-butting each other as they ran out of the room.
"You were really lucky not to lose your eye, sir." the doctor admitted, standing back up now that his work was done. "I recommend you rest."
"I will rest when my work is done!" the warden replied, standing up from his office chair as he tried to get use to walking with only one eye.
"Alright, sir. If that's what you do." the doctor agreed, collecting his medical suppliers as he prepared to leave. "Sir, can I go now?"
"Yes, yes, go, get out of my sight." the warden grunted, speaking a normal tone for once as he waved his wing towards him.
After he was gone, the warden sat back down in his office chair as he prepared to make a plan to get those prisoners back before Lord Nexus realized. "I will make that canary pay for getting me like this! Mark my words; I will have revenge on them!"
The warden turned his attention back up when he saw the two dark macaws had returned, both carrying a bottle of alcohol in their wings. He accepted both of them as he ordered to leave immediately.
Despite his injury, he was not preparing to give up just yet. His plan was as soon as he got his men together, he would begin an entire search around the forest, not letting them rest until he got the prisoners back in his position.
Back at the underground hideout, the medic had finished tending to their injured soldier. He was going to be fine and only needed to rest for a while until he was back up to full strength.
Blu waited patiently while the medic macaw was now checking his injures. The room they were in was quite small with a couple of nests on the ground to rest in, a couple of chairs to sit on, and an entire closet full of medical supplies. He sure was prepared for a situation like this.
The captain was sitting with the injured man, who was sleeping in a nest. Blu merely watched as the medic lifted up his bad wing, carefully examining it without hurting him.
"You're going to make a full recovery, Blu." the medic announced, smiling as he lifted his wing down and stood back up to full height. "It might take around two months for you to fully recover. In the meantime, just stay off your talons and try to get as much rest as possible."
"Thanks doctor." he smiled, placing his wings onto his wheelchair where he pushed himself towards the door that had been opened for him by the captain.
The door closed behind her as Blu made his way back into the main room, where he could see a few of his friends. His beautiful wife had just seen him come out and made his way over to him. Rafael and Eva were sitting on one of the couches, talking with each other, but as for Rico, he seemed to be sleeping on the single couch chair.
"Blu, how are you feeling?" Jewel inquired, taking his good wing with her own, concerned for her husband.
"The doctor says I'm going to be fine." Blu assured her with a supportive smile, lifting her wing towards his face and planting a peck on it. "He said I will recover in two months, and I just need to rest for a while. It takes more than a couple of broken bones to stop me."
"I'm glad you're all right, Blu." Jewel replied smiling, before proceeding over towards their bedroom where she opened the door for him. "I'm pretty tired, Blu. I fed the kids while you were in there. Want to get some sleep for the night?"
"I'll be there with you in a minute, Jewel." Blu replied. "I need to speak with the captain."
"All right, lovehawk. Don't keep a girl waiting too long though." Jewel replied, heading inside of her new bedroom for a little while. She examined the room once she was inside as she felt herself no longer being cold.
Their room had a big nest for both of them to sleep in, followed by a couple of pillows and cushions. There also seemed to be a map of the World of Darkness hanging on the wall, but Jewel had no idea why it was there.
For now, Jewel made herself comfortable in the nest with her head rested in her wings behind her head, waiting patiently for her husband to return.
Outside from her room, Blu shifted his attention towards the others while he waited for the captain to return. The hawk still seemed to be tired, but Blu could not really blame him. After all, he had just managed to escape from a maximum security prison while taking on any guard they had threw at him. As for Rafael and Eva, the two held wings as they talked with one and other.
Blu approached the two and sat beside them on the other couch against the wall. "Hey, guys, how are you both holding up?"
"We're okay, thanks for asking." Eva said sweetly, appreciating the blue macaw's concern. "How about you?"
"I'm okay, Eva." Blu assured, placing his wings to his sides as he leaned back. "The doctor told me I'm going to make a full recover in around two months."
"Whew." Eva sighed in relief. "I was worried for you. I didn't think bones were going to recover after an accident like that."
"Me, too." Blu agreed, he himself worried that he may not recover the second he was injured. "Jewel feels guilty though. She blames herself for my condition."
"Blu, Jewel is my best friend, and I don't know what she is thinking right..." Eva said, leaning out to him and placed her left wing onto his shoulder. "What happened to you was Nexus' fault. It was him and him alone. There was nothing she could have done to prevent it."
Blu smiled as he nodded to her in response. He and Eva never interacted with each other much in the past, but he was glad to have her and Rafael as friends. "Thanks Eva."
Eva smiled too in response before she turned her attention back to her husband. "We're going to go and rest for a while if that's okay?"
"Of course it is." Blu replied, standing up from where he was sitting as he walked towards the medic room. "My hideout is your hideout."
"Thanks." Eva replied, standing up from the couch as she and Rafael stood up and proceeded towards one of the guest rooms. "Come on, Rafael. Let's go and rest."
As the toucan's left the room, Blu shifted his attention around when the captain of the light macaws exited the room and made his way over towards Blu. "Hey, Captain. I was wondering if I can ask you something."
"Sure." the captain granted. "What's on your mind?"
"I just wanted to know why you are you men came to save me, our over selves, and my friends back in Rio?" Blu inquired, not wanting to seem ungrateful for their help.
The captain sighed as he placed both of his wings onto the table, and began explaining the entire situation to the blue macaw. "As you aware, Nexus has captured the Angelus, and we think he is keeping her in his castle. We tried to get to her, but the castle is too heavily guarded. But then we remembered you. The Angelus trained you as one of her main warriors, and we heard how you always saved the day. We thought you were the only one we could count on. And we saved you to show we needed your help, and that you were in trouble of course."
"Hmmm." Blu hummed, thinking this whole situation over as the captain waited for a reply. "I understand. Thank for answering, but I should be on my way back to my room. My wife is waiting for me."
The captain nodded in agreement as the blue macaw pushed himself towards his bedroom. He spoke one last thing to the blue macaw before he left. "Take care of yourself, Blu. When the time comes and you've recovered, I hope you will help us finally bring down Nexus."
"You can count on me, captain." Blu assured him, exiting the room as he closed the door behind him. As he left, Blu did have to admit to himself stopping Nexus was going to be tough this time.
He could not move without assistance. He had no powers anymore, and even if he did, Nexus is at least five times more powerful than any other macaw. How could he be stopped? Even if they did injure him, Nexus would heal rapidly from any injury he may take.
Planning to stop the evil hawk would have to wait. For now, Blu got back into his bedroom with Jewel as he prepared to get some sleep for the night.
The next deleted chapter is completed, ladies and gentlemen. How is Blu going to defeat Nexus this time in his condition? No-one else is as powerful as him apart from the Angelus. Stay tuned for the next chapter.
