Deleted chapters
Greetings ladies and gentlemen. As you know, a few days ago I was beginning to forgot who I am and what I did. I am not sure what caused this, and got as much as help as I could. But I woke up the other morning and a true miracle has happened...I am back, ladies and gentlemen!
You might not believe this, but I had a strange dream the night before that I cannot quite explain, but when I woke up, I was suddenly the same man I have been for almost 30 years, and now I have found my paths in life again. Thank you all my friends for being there for me in my desperate time of need. But now I am back, and I hope nothing like this will happen again.
The dark hawk returns.
In celebrating of my return, here is the next chapter in the alternative story, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy.
Shortly after making their plan of action, fix of their group had volunteered to on a rescue mission and they were no other than: Blu, Nico, Rico, and the captain of the light macaws with the medic.
They made their way through the forest of the World of Darkness as they were not far from the castle. But they had to admit, this place gave them the chills.
Eventfully, they made it to the World of Darkness castle where they could see the gigantic wall built around the castle, but lucky for them, the walls on the left and right were merged against the wall, and this was their chance to get inside.
The rescue team hid behind a large tree as they could see the protective wall only a few feet away from them, but the only problem was there was dark macaws walking patrolling the top of the wall. And they knew trying to force their way inside was not an option.
All they had were a couple of combat staffs as weapons, and a couple of supplies Blu had brought with them in a small backpack he was carrying across his back.
The blue macaw remained seated in his wheelchair as he peaked through the grass with a pair of bird-size binoculars he had brought with him, using them to spy on the guards. "Okay, the guards are passing. As soon as they move, we move."
"We understand." the captain assured, clutching his weapons tight just in case they were to run into trouble. "Just give us the word when."
Blu nodded as he carefully waited for the perfect moment for them to strike. He looked back towards the guards where they were out of sight, and now it was time. He placed his wings onto the wheels of his wheelchair and prepared to move. "Okay...Go, now!"
Everyone quickly jumped from behind the tree and flew towards the wall as fast as they could. Except for Blu that is, who was a little slower due to his injuries.
The five birds got to the edge of the wall just in time before any of the guards could have seen them. Everyone else kept watch as Blu pushed his wings through the grass, looking for the small entrance they would have to crawl in.
"Blu, hurry up." the captain ordered, knowing they could be spotted at any moment.
"I'm getting there." Blu assured them, finally finding the hole in the wall, causing a sigh of relief to him as he suspected it may have been fixed up. "Okay, I found it! Let's go!"
Everyone slowly moved back as they took turns going inside. First it was Rico, then Nico, then the medic macaw. As for Blu, he was helped by the captain since he would have to jump off his wheelchair for a moment so both he and it could fit in.
As Blu crawled her way in, the captain took one last check around the area to make sure it was fully clear. He got down onto his belly as he crawled into the small hole like an army solider would and got to the other side of the wall where he met the others, who all waiting for him.
He got helped back up onto his talons by Rico before studying the place they were in which looked like a small empty storage room. He brushed the dust from his feathers as everyone else got prepared.
"Wow, you weren't lying, Blu." the captain admitting, while he and Rico helped Blu sit back down onto his wheelchair before they left.
"Told you I have been here before." Blu countered, taking his backpack off while placing it in front of him as he opened up the zip before digging his wing inside. "Now, let's see here."
"You got any whiskey in there?" Rico asked, clearing his throat for a moment, feeling like he was on the verge of passing out without a drink.
"Is all you think about is beer?" Blu inquired, frowning slightly as he pulled out some kind of key.
No-one had no idea what that key was, but nevertheless, they went along with it and asked no questions to how he required it or what it was for.
"Not all the time." Rico answered, shrugging his shoulders slightly while he set his combat staff down for a moment.
Blu ignored him as he demonstrated the key to the others. "This master key can open almost any door inside this place. I took it from the throne room when I was here before."
"Where do you think they are keeping the Angelus?" the captain inquired, obviously wanting to find his queen as soon as possible. "We need to find her."
"I'm getting there." Blu assured him, placing his wingtip to his chin as he attempted to remember the layout of this place. He caught something in the corner of his eye that caused him to sigh. "Look in the backpack all you want, Rico, there's no beer in there."
Aware that he was being watched, Rico quickly took his wings out from Blu's backpack and placed them back to his sides. He quietly slipped away, walking causally while whistling to himself.
Blu finally remembered the layout of the and finally figured out where they could be keeping his and Jewel's older selves, and the Angelus. He beckoned the captain to come close and began to explain his place. "There are two places we can search. There's this one cell that is close to Nexus's throne room. That's where the Angelus may be. As for mine and Jewel's older selves, I think they could be locked up in the dungeon. That's our best bet."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Nico inquired, jumping up to the blue macaw's face as he perched himself on top of his head. "Let's get going."
"Not so fast." the captain warned, shifting his attention back to the medic macaw for a moment, who was nervously clutching his bow staff. The captain knew he was no solider and had no training for battle, but now was not the time for fear. It was the time to have confidence.
"Medic, I'm going to need you to stay here." the captain ordered, looking towards the other light macaw as he waited for a response, knowing it was not going to be a good one.
"Why me, sir?" the medic inquired, trying to remind his commanding office that he was no soldier. "I...I don't know how to use these things. I thought the only reason you brought me with you is because they might be injured when we save them."
"Which is why we are going out there while you stay here." the captain replied, setting his right wing down on the macaw's shoulder, smiling slightly across his beak. "This might be our only way out. We will need your help, son."
The medic macaw nodded his head slightly in response. He managed to raise a smile, knowing that the captain was right. He placed his bow staff to the ground while saluting the captain with his right wing. "You can count on me, sir. I won't let you down."
"I know you won't." the captain replied, dropping his smile for a moment as he looked back towards Rico, who was standing next to a wooden door, obviously eager to go and get this over with. "Alright, everyone. Let's be on our way. Rico, open the door please."
Rico lifted his right talon up as he opened the door where trouble had emerged from the other side. Standing in front of him was a dark macaw, who looked shock as he looked like he was about to scream out for help, and if he did, than their rescue mission was over.
Without thinking and without hesitation, Rico curled his wing like a fist and struck the dark macaw directly in his face, knocking him out instantly. He watched as the dark macaw plummeted to the ground, completely out flat.
The others peaked over his shoulder as they were shocked and surprised that they just avoided certain danger.
"Nice." Nico complemented, closing his eyes half-way as he folded his wings together.
"You took that guy down with one hit?" the captain said, shocked that anyone could do that, after he had been in the Angelus' army for more than he can remember, and even he couldn't do that. "Wow, I'm impressed."
"And what is why you do not mess with a hawk." Rico replied, dragging the body away just in case any nearby guards would arrive and find him. "Now, should I do with him?"
"Here." Blu said, throwing him some rope that he had inside his backpack. "Tie him up and lock him a closet or something."
"You the boss." Rico replied, mockingly saluting him as he continued to drag the unconscious macaw across the ground while holding the rope around his shoulder.
Meanwhile, back in Rio de Janeiro, Nexus and his men had been in the same area for at least an hour now, and Nexus was beginning to get a little impatient. He angrily stomped over towards Mauro, who had not moved from where he was sitting, still with his arms restraint in his own watch. "I am getting very impatient. I am starting to think your monkeys are not returning."
"No, they are!" Mauro assured, but his voice spoke a little too fast for Nexus to believe him. "Just give them more time!"
Nexus growled as he grabbed Mauro's throat with his right talon and held him up into the air. He hated it when someone tried to give him an order. "No-one tells Nexus what to do."
"I'm sorry-ahh!" he cried out, feeling the evil hawk's grip tighten against his throat. "Please."
As Nexus was on the verge of killing him, he heard nearby noises approaching them from above, such as branches rattling. He looked up where he could see two of the marmosets had returned, both panting slightly.
"Hey, we found the guy you were looking for!" the marmoset replied, pointing his finger back towards the direction they had come from. "They are ten minutes away from here that way."
Nexus grinned in response as he looked towards the marmoset in his grip. He brought his face closer to his own as he whispering into his ear. "You got lucky." he whispered before throwing him against a nearby tree. "Men! Move out that way!"
The dark macaws obeyed as they stopped from what they were doing and headed towards the direction their King had ordered them to go to. As for Nexus, he easily got himself there by teleporting, but as for Vadin, he easily followed with his dash ability.
After the dark macaws had left the entire area, Mauro looked up towards his two men as he grunted, trying to get his arms free as he was lying down on his stomach. "Well, what are you waiting for? Get me out of this!"
Not too far from the marmosets hideout, Exo, Asya, and Anox all moved in the center of an large area with their backs touching each other as they raised their weapons, preparing to defend themselves from the dark macaws surrounding them on every side.
"There's too many." Exo declared, holding up his katana blade up while looking back at his two allies.
"We can't just give up." Anox declared, holding up his crossbow with his good wing, but found himself still in pain from his injuries. "We have to try."
"Anox, in case we don't make this...I want you to know..." Asya paused for a moment as she held up her two daggers in her wings, preparing for the rest. She took a deep breath as she finally got her words out from her beak..."I love you."
Confessing her feelings at long last, this left Anox quite shocked as he too had feelings for her. He smiled as he returned the same feeling to her. "I love you, too, Asya. I don't care if we are different kind, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."
"That's sweet of you to say, Anox." she admitted, holding his wing for a moment as a tear rolled down her cheek. "It's just a shame...We will never get the chance to live our lives."
"We'll always be together, no matter what." Anox assured her, preparing to fire his weapon as the dark macaws were not far away from them.
"Get ready." Exo said, lifting his blade up to his shoulder as he prepared to take on as many as he could before being defeated. "If we go down, we die defending what we believe in."
And chapter is completed. The rescue team are now in the castle, but things do not good for the assassins in Rio de Janeiro. Let us hope they can find a way to get out of this. Stay tuned for the next alternative chapter, and I assure you my fellow readers, certain chapters are going to be different from the original storyline soon.
