Deleted chapters
Hey, everyone, I am back to give you the next chapter of the alternative story. This one chapter will be a little shorter compared to the rest, but the remaining chapters should be longer after this one. Enjoy reading, ladies and gentlemen.
Back in the World of Darkness, Rico continued to rapidly strike attacks against the enforcer dark macaw, who did not look like he could take much more. He had his wings placed to his head, and Rico had hit him at least fifty times.
As for the others, they were doing well on their end (except for Blu, that is, who could not do anything but watch). Two of the dark macaws had been defeated; one of them was busy with the captain of the light macaws as they both gripped the same weapon.
As for the four one, he rapidly swung around after Nico had jumped on top of him, covering his eyes up with his wings that left him without any sight. "I can't see!" the dark macaw shouted, waving his wings around rapidly. "Get him off!"
Blu saw this was his chance to help out. He picked one of the bow staffs and whacked the dark macaw directly into the side of his head, knocking him unconscious upon impact.
Back with Rico, he struck the enforcer one last time in his face, knocking him back a little. He jumped up to the enforcer and grabbed his head in his wings before he wrestled him to the ground that finally defeated him and knocked him unconscious. The hawk got back onto his talons while the others had defeated the other dark macaws.
"That's all of them." the captain of the light macaws said; stating the obvious before he turned his attention back towards the double doors. "All right, we've wasted enough time here. We better get going. Blu, since you know this layout, you direct us."
"I'm on it." Blu obliged and began pushing himself towards the double doors.
"Everyone else, let's go." the captain ordered, as he picked up his weapon and made certain those dark macaws were not getting up for a while. He turned around and followed the others, closing the doors behind him while doing so.
Meanwhile, back in the jungle of Rio de Janeiro, Exo had finally recovered from his injuries after he was knocked unconscious by Nexus. But fortunately for him, his armor had taken most of the damage.
He searched the area for his helmet and katana blade but it was hard to see with it raining at the moment while searching in darkness. He eventually found his blade and proceeded to leave and reunite with his team.
Being as quiet as he could to avoid any attention just in case those dark macaws were still patrolling the area, he held one wing against his injuries while he walked in the direction Asya and Anox had gone to, hoping to find them.
But he knew even if he found them, what good would that do then? Nexus knew the location now and would be only a matter of time before he found the scroll. He failed to prevent that from happening. But nevertheless, he was still willing to sacrifice himself if it meant stopping the dark macaw-hawk.
Back in the World of Darkness, Blu, Nico, Rico, and the captain of the light macaws all gathered outside a nearby wooden door that leaded into a room that Blu had pointed out on his map: a single cell near Nexus' throne room.
Despite this being a strong chance the Angelus was here, the team was still cautious just in case this turned out to be a trap. The four of them were prepared as they clutched their bow staffs (bottle-cap in Nico's case) and prepared to break inside.
The captain of the light macaws clutched tightly in his wings while he kept a talon on the door handle. He looked back towards the others for a moment and whispered to them, telling them it was now time to go inside. "Okay, three...Two...One. GO!"
In the quick of a flash, the captain and the rest of the team swung the door open and ran inside where they discovered the room was unguarded. However, there was something that had caught their interest. Inside, they could see a small cell that was protected by a similar dark essence glass that they saw not too long ago.
And inside was someone very familiar. The captain of the light macaws ran towards the cell where he looked inside where he could see his Queen lying down against the ground. "Your Majesty!"
The Angelus opened up her eyelids where she could see one of her personal guards standing on the other side of her cell. She tried to lean up, but forget she was still tied up. "Captain...Blu..."
"We're going to get you out of there, your Majesty." the captain assured her, while he turned towards Blu, who was busy searching through his backpack. "How are we going to get the Queen out of there?"
Blu continued to search through his backpack for a few seconds until he found what he needed. He picked up a flash bang and tossed it over towards the captain. "Here, use this."
The captain nodded in agreement as he set the flash bang to the dark essence glass and set it on a timer, knowing they were going to need to get back. "Alright, everyone get back."
"What are you going to do, blind it open?" Rico sarcastically inquired, closing the door behind him.
"No. Light is powerful the break through dark essence if we have enough of it. If this works, it will turn it into normal glass which we can break through" the captain explained, setting the flash bang timer on before quickly yelling at them as he ran back. "NOW get clear and cover up your eyes!"
The feathered friends closed their eyes as hard as they could while looking away and covering them up with his wings. The flash bang exploded, sending a slight ringing noise through their ears, but it was only temporary.
After it was safe to open their eyes again, the captain ran back towards the Angelus's cell where he discovered the entire glass had been destroyed. He ran inside to the Angelus and helped lean her up, followed by cutting the rope around her body and ankles. "Are you okay, your Majesty?"
"I'm fine, captain." the Angelus assured him, rubbing her wings together for a moment. She looked towards out of the cell where she saw four familiar friends she did not expect to see again. "Blu, Rico, and Nico. You're all here. What are you doing here?"
"We came to rescue you and our older selves." Blu answered, while he placed his backpack onto his back.
"Older selves?" the Angelus queried, completely confused to what he meant by this.
"Yeah, it's a long story." Blu replied. "They are another me and Jewel but they are from another universe and they are ten-years older than us."
"I see." the Angelus understood what he meant, but she soon diverted her attention towards Blu's condition. "What happened to you, Blu? Did Nexus do this to you?"
"I'm afraid so, your Majesty." Blu answered, before he began running his good wing against his injured wing. He assured her he would be fine nevertheless. "Don't worry about my, your Majesty. I'll be okay."
"I hope so." the Angelus admitted.
"Can you walk, your Majesty?" the captain inquired, helping her stand back up for a moment as he took her from outside the cell, knowing that dark essence made her weak.
The Angelus tested her strength for a moment to see if she could walk or not. Despite her being injured by Nexus, she still had the ability to move. "Yes, I can walk, captain. Now let's get out of here. I hope we have a plan here."
"That we do your majesty." Blu assured her, smiling as they prepared to leave the room with the others. "We will explain on the way back."
And that brings us to the end of this chapter, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned for the next alternative chapter for "Darkness Reborn".
