Chapter 8: Fight


Luiz and Blaze's Garage

(The trolly stops and Blu, Jewel, Banjo, and Grace climb down with Rafael, Nico, and Pedro flying down.)

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Luiz and Blaze's garage!" Rafael said.

(He flies in and Blu, Jewel, Banjo, and Grace approach the gate where Blu and Banjo open it up for Grace and Jewel.)

"After you." Blu said.

"No, no, no, you first." Jewel said.

"Ladies first Jewel." Blu said.

"You go first Banjo." Grace said.

"Oh, please, I insist. After you, ladies always go first." Banjo said.

"Okay." Grace said.

(They all try and go through but only hit their heads together making them chuckle.)

"Guess this is it." Grace said.

"Uh, yeah. Quite an adventure." Banjo said.

"End of the line." Jewel said.

"Ah, yes." Blu said.

"Guess things like this don't happen in Tiny-soda." Jewel said.

"Tiny-soda?" Blu said.

"Wait, Minne-sota?" Blu said.

"Yeah." Jewel said.

(Blu laughs.)

"Oh they are very good." Blu said.

"Yes." Jewel said.

"Oh, that's very good." Jewel said.

"That's very funny, actually." Blu said.

"Luiz! Blaze! Are you two here? Luiz, Blaze? Hey, buddies. I got some friends I want y'all to meet." Rafael said.

(A bulldog and shih tzu pomeranian jumps out of from under a hood of a car barking viciously. Nico and Pedro fly away screaming. The dogs runs towards Banjo, Grace, Blu, and Jewel who also scream and try to run away.)

"Inside! Outside! Inside Outside!" Blu, Jewel, Banjo, and Grace said.

(The dogs jumps on them, Blu groans disgusted as spits is about to his her eye but the dogs slurps it back into his mouth and laughs.)

"We got you good...!" Luiz said.

"What?" Blu, Jewel, Banjo, and Grace said.

"I could've ripped your throats out, but I didn't. But I could've." Blaze said.

(Rafael flies towards Luiz and Blaze laughing.)

"Hey, Luiz! Blaze! Stop scaring my friends." Rafael said.

"Hey, Rafie! Come here! Where you been?" Luiz said to his toucan friend.

"What's up bro?" Blaze asked.

(He gives Rafael a hug then Blaze gives Rafael a hug.)

"You look good!"

"W-W-Wait. Luiz is a bulldog?" Jewel said.

"Blaze is a shih tzu pomeranian." Grace said.

"Y'all got something against dogs?" Luiz asked.

"I do when they're drooling on me." Jewel said.

"It's a medical condition!" Blaze said.

"No, no, hey, amigo, we really need you." Rafael said.

"She's mean, bro." Luiz said.

"Luiz and Blaze, come on, please, please. We need y'all help." Rafael said.

(He hops over to Grace, Banjo, Blu, and Jewel and shows Luiz and Blaze the chain. Luiz and Blaze looks at the chain.)

"Hmm. I think I know what to do." Blaze said.

(Grace, Banjo, Blu, and Jewel stare at a table saw with disbelief. Luiz and Blaze uses a chair to rise up to them slowly.)

"Uh, are you two sure this is safe?" Blu asked Luiz and Blaze.

"Oh, sure. There's nothing to it." Luiz said.

(He put on his welding mask and Blaze have on the welding mask.)

"Now if something goes wrong, scream really loud. Because I hear too good with this thing on. Hey, Raffie! Hit the switch, please!" Blaze said.

"Don't worry. They are a professional." Rafael said,

(He turns a switch on that activates the table saw. Grace, Banjo, Blu, Jewel gasp seeing the blade spinning at high speeds.)

"Now, try not to move! I can't really see out of this thing, either!" Luiz said.

(He starts to push them closer to the saw while they are gasping. Suddenly Grace, Banjo, Blu and Jewel are pushed forward as Luiz slips on his own spit. Grace flies up as Jewel, Banjo, and Blu watch the blade spinning in front of their faces, Grace grabs onto a lamp and uses that to fling Banjo, Blu and Jewel up and away from the saw. Rafael tries to turn the saw off as Blu and Jewel swing around the room.)

"Hey! Where'd you go?" Luiz said.

(Jewel hits Luiz which makes him fall into the saw that cuts his mask in half. Luiz stares with wide eyes as Grace's grasp on the lamp slips and they fly into Luiz, the chain gets caught in Luiz and Blaze's mouth and they spit flows down the chains and onto Grace, Banjo, Blu and Jewel's feet which makes them slip off the chain. Luiz spits the chain into the saw making it stop from spinning. Blu, Jewel, Banjo, and Grace stand up and wipe Luiz's spit off their feet.)

"Ugh! Ew, gross! Haa!" Blu said.

"But we're free! Blu! Jewel! Grace! We're free!." Banjo said.

"Slimy! But free! Contaminated, probably. But free!" Blu said.

"You believe it's finally..." Banjo said.

(Jewel and Grace suddenly flies past them, laughing with joy.)

"Ha-ha." Jewel said.

"...Over." Banjo said.

"Oh, yeah! Whoo! Wah-hah! Come on, guys, let's go!" Grace said.

"What are we standing around for? It's Carnival!" Nico said.

(Nico, Pedro and Rafael fly after Jewel and Grace out of the garage into the sky whooping. Blu and Banjo watch them from the ground when Luiz and Blaze walks up to them.)

"Yep. I know just how you both feel. Watchin' 'em up there, makes you want to chase them and grab 'em in your mouth and bite their heads off. Huh?" Luiz said.

(Banjo and Blu remain silent still watchin up at Jewel and Grace sadly.)

"Hey, I'm just kiddin'! Yeah! Chasin' 'em is plenty." Luiz said.

(He sees their sad faces and backs away from them.)

Jewel: I'm flying flying just like a bird!

(Blu and Banjo start to walk away.)

"Jewel, but you are a bird." Nico said.

(As Jewel and Grace happily flying, he notices Banjo and Blu walking away sadly.)

"Hey, where y'all going?" Jewel asked.

(He lands behind them but Blu and Banjo ignore him and keeps on walking.)

"Blu? Banjo? What's wrong?" Grace asked.

"Nothing. Everything's perfect. Y'all be off to the rainforest." Blu said.

"We'll be back with Linda. Just like we planned." Banjo said.

"I." Grace said.

(Nico and Pedro fly down towards them.)

"Hey, birds! Stop yappin' and start flappin'! Let's go!" Nico said.

"I...I...I guess I thought maybe..." Jewel said.

"What? That y'all ... come to Minnesota?" Banjo said.

"Great, I guess I... I'll knit you two a scarf." Blu said.

"No, that's not what we meant." Jewel said.

"Look Jewel, Grace, we can't spend our life walking around following you wherever y'all going." Banjo said.

"Hey, it's not my fault you two can't fly." Jewel said.

(Pedro turns to Nico as they watch Grace, Banjo, Blu, and Jewel.)

"Awkward..." Pedro said.

(Rafael lands next to Grace, Banjo, Blu, and Jewel as he notices them starting to argue.)

"Okay, okay. You know what? It's just good. Just clear the air. Just be completely honest with each other." Rafael said.

"You want honesty? Fine, fine, I can be honest. We don't belong here. In fact, we never wanted to even come here in the first place." Banjo said.

"And... and... and you know what? I hate samba!" Blu said.

(Grace, Jewel, and Rafael gasps and Nico starts crying into Pedro's wing.)

"Hey! That's a little too far." Pedro said.

"Make the mean bird take it back!" Nico said.

"Yeah, I said it. Every song sounds exactly the same! Tico, taco ya-ya-ya. Tico, taco ya-ya-ya!" Blu said.

"We're tico-taco out of here." Banjo said,

(Jewel and Grace looks at them angrily.)

"Fine! See you around, pets!" Jewel said.

(They starts flying away from Banjo and Blu.)

"No, no! Wait, wait, wait! Come back! You four belong together. You are Romeo to thier Juliets! Sure, they both die at the end. But, you get my point! Oh, young love. Always so melodramatic. All right, boys. Go after them." Rafael said.

(Nico and Pedro start to chase after Jewel and Grace while Rafael flies after Blu and Banjo.)

"Banjo! Blu! Come back here, come on!" Rafael said.

"Yeah! I'm ready for Carnival!" Luiz said.

(Luiz and Blaze comes out of their garage wearing a costume with a fruit hats.)

"Who wants to ride in my... fruit?" Luiz said.

(They sees that no one is there anymore.)

"They left without us. That's messed up." Blaze said.

(Jewel and Grace is flying high in the sky away with Pedro and Nico following them.)

"Grace, Jewel." Pedro said.

"Wait up!" Nico said.

(Jewel and Grace lets out trembling exhale as tears are flowing out of their eyes. Suddenly Nigel catches them as they were flying.)

"Going somewhere, pretty birds?" Nigel said.

"Oh yeah, I was just on my way to CLAW YOUR EYES OUT!" Jewel said.

(She and Grace punches Nigel in the face. Nico and Pedro see Nigel get a hold of Jewel and Grace.)

"Temper. Temper. Now come along, my dears. We're going to a parade. And everybody loves a parade!" Nigel said.

(He laughs and flies away with Jewel and Grace.)

"Let go of us!" Grace said.

"Hey! Get back here! Ain't nobody mess with a friend of Pedro. I ain't havin' it! It's on!" Pedro said.

(He starts punching the air.)

"What are you on?! Did you see the talons on that guy?!" Nico said.

"Talons? Maybe, it's on next time." Pedro said.

(Nico and Pedro turn and fly away screaming.)

"RALFIEEEE!" Pedro yelled.

"Blu! Banjo! Help! Help!" Nico said

(Meanwhile, Blu and Blu are walking to Linda, while Rafael starts following them.)

"Rafael, quit following us. You're going in the wrong direction. Isn't Carnival that way?" Blu said.

"I'm not going to Carnival. No, I'm going home." Rafael said.

"But I thought you loved Carnaval." Banjo said.

"I do. But I love my family much more. And that's a choice I made with this." Rafael said.

(He points to Banjo's and Blu's hearts.)

"Not with this." Rafael said.

(He points to Banjo's and Blu's heads. Nico and Pedro approach them.)

"Blu! Banjo! Hey, Blu! Banjo!" Nico and Pedro called their friends.

"I was flying, and then I saw this big cockatoo!" Pedro said.

"With big ninja talons!" Nico said.

"This cockatoo was ugly." Pedro said.

'Yeah..." Nico said.

"Anyways, that's not the point." Pedro said.

"And then Jewel and Grace was there, and he snatched Jewel and Grace up, like, he snatched them up! And then he was, like "You're comin' with me, you little princesses!" Nico said.

"And Jewel and Grace." Pedro said.

(He starts to imitate kicks and punches.)

"We are not your princesses! Leave us alone!" And I was, like, "What?!"" Pedro said.

"Then he was, like, "What?!"" Nico said.

"Stop! Just tell us what happened?" Banjo said.

"He got Jewel and Grace, guys." Pedro said.

"And he's taking them to the parade!" Nico and Pedro said at the same time.

(Banjo and Blu gasp and look down.)

"This is all our fault." Banjo said.

(Blu looks up determined.)

"Let's fly." Blu sternly said.

(Blu is riding in Luiz's hat and Banjo is riding in Blaze's hat as they runs towards the Carnival.)

"Carnival, here we come!" Luiz said.

(As Nico and Pedro are flying behind them, Nico gets hit with Luiz's spit.)

"Hey, dog, I'm drowning back here." Nico said.

"You will get wet on this ride! Ha-ha!" Blaze said.

(Marcel is waiting on Tipa and Armando at the Carnival.)

"Come on, come on, come on. Where are these guys?" Marcel asked himself.

(He looks forward and sees a nice looking float approaching him.)

"Whoa-ho-ho-ho! Yes! Nice! Very nice." Marcel said.

(The float drives past him and then he hears Tipa calling for him. He looks back and sees the crappy chicken float approaching him with Tipa on the roof waving at him.)

"Marcel! Yoo-hoo! Marcel!" Tipa said.

"Oh, boy." Marcel said.

"We're a chicken! Cluck, cluck! Come on, Fernando, dance!" Tipa said.

(Fernando dressed as an egg starts to dance while Marcel face palms.)

"Oh, idiots." Marcel said.

(Meanwhile, Linda and Tulio are driving through a crowd of people.)

"Excuse me. Um... Coming through. Watch your feet." Linda said.

(She drives over a mans foot.)

"Hey!" Guy said.

"Whoops. Sorry." Linda said.

(Linda and Tulio look at a gate.)

"Go ahead. Come in. Wait. Stop, please. Performers only." Gate Guard said.

(Linda and Tulio look at each other.)

(Tulio comes out from behind a truck wearing a Spix's Macaw costume. He sees himself in a mirror and starts to admire the costume.)

"Wow! Cyanopsitta Spixii!" Tulio said.

(He starts squawking and hits the mirror but still continues squawking and acting like a bird.)

"Tulio!" Linda said.

"Oh! Linda. I was just, uh..." Tulio said.

(He looks back and sees Linda approaching him too wearing a Spix's macaw costume.)

"I look ridiculous, don't I?" Linda asked.

(They stare at each other while slowly moving closer together but the beaks on their hats hit each other snapping them out of it.)

"Ooh!" Linda and Tulio said.

"Sorry." Linda said.

"Oh! The parade, it's about to start." Tulio said.

"Okay. Boa noite. Go ahead." Gate Guard said.

(They approach the gate.)

"Okay, just follow my lead. Act naturally." Tulio said.

(He starts squawking.)

"Oh, uh..." Linda said.

(She also starts squawking as they pass through the gate and a guard. Linda almost trips as they run.)

"Ooh...!" Linda said.

"Are you okay?" Tulio asked

"Yeah." Linda said.

"Come on. Blu? Banjo?" Tulio said.

"Blu? Banjo?" Linda called.

(Tulio squawks.)

"Blu? Banjo? Blu? Banjo?" Linda said.

(A man approaches Linda speaking portuguese.)

"What? W-Wait, wait, no, no, no. I am looking for A BLUE BIRD. B-Birdo?" Linda explained to the man.

"Que e que e "birdo"?" Man said.

"Birdo, yes." Linda said.

(The man starts to escort her away.)

"Oh. Okay." Linda said.

(She is put in a small box and the door is closed.)

"Wait, what are you doing? Tulio! Hey! Let me out!" Linda said.

(She bangs on the door. Tulio opens a hatch and looks inside squawking when an exhaust coughs smoke in his face making him cough, suddenly he is surrounded by performers.)

"Whoa, whoa!" Tulio said.

"Tulio!" Linda said.

(Suddenly she starts to rise up)

"Oh... this is not good. This is not good. This is..." Linda said.

(She arrives at the top of a float while it drives with a huge crowd around her.)

"Cheese and sprinkles." Linda said.

(The crowd is singing a samba song.)

"Okay, you can bring me down now! I think we're done here!" Linda said.

(Tipa and Armando are dancing at the roof of their float with Fernando.)

"Hey! Hey!" Tipa said.

(The crowd boos at them which makes Marcel duck down in the drivers seat.)

"Ha-ha! I think they like my moves! Ha-ha! Hey, keep dancing, egg-boy." Tipa said.

(At the back of the float/truck, Jewel and Grace is in a cage looking miserable when Nigel walks over to him.)

"Two down, and two to go." Nigel said.

"You'll never find them. They are already gone." Jewel said.

"Oh, I don't need to find them. They'll find you." Nigel said.

(He flies away while Jewel and Grace looks down. Meanwhile Blu, Banjo, Luiz, Blaze, Rafael, Nico, and Pedro arrive at the Carnival.)

"Ha-ha! This is the spit! Yeah, baby! Now I can get my freak on!" Luiz said.

(He starts to dance in the middle of the performance.)

"Luiz, please! Rescue first. Freak later." Banjo said.

"Come on!" Blu said.

"Out of my way, people!" Blaze said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Guy said.

(A few people slip in Luiz's spit as he runs through the Carnival.)

"All right, guys, I'll fly ahead and look for Jewel and Grace." Rafael said.

(He flies past a float.)

"Hello, ladies." Rafael said.

(Pedro and Nico follow Rafael.)

"Mr. Big Nose! Hold up!" Pedro said.

"Uh..." Linda said.

(Linda is trying to cover herself as the man from before yells at her.)

"Rebola, rebola, rebola!" Man said.

"What?" Linda confused.

"Rebola!" Woman said.

(Tulio runs through the parade looking for Linda.)

"Linda! Excuse me. Excuse me. Linda!" Tulio said.

(Tulio sees Linda at the top of the float and runs towards it.)

"Linda!" Tulio said.

"Rebola!" Man said.

"In English!" Linda said.

"Linda! Linda! You've got to shake your tushy!" Tulio said.

"No! We don't shake our tushies in Minnesota!" Linda said.

(The man groans. Luiz barks and runs through the parade making the performers scream.)

"Hot dog Coming through!" Luiz said.

(Linda gasps when she sees Bluriding on Luiz and Banjo riding on Blaze.)

"Banjo! Blu! Tulio! Tulio! I saw Banjo and Blu!" Linda said.

"What?" Tulio said.

"Rebola! Rebola!" Man said.

"Hold on, boys! I'm coming for you!" Linda said.

(She goes over the railing on front of her.)

"Meu Deus!" Tulio said.

(She slides down onto the arms of two men and she starts to stand on one of their head.)

"Whoa! Oh! Oh! Blu! Banjo!" Linda said.

(Banjo and Blu turn around and see Linda.)

"Linda!" Blu said.

"Linda? Wait!" Banjo said.

(Blu stop Luiz and Banjo stop Blaze watch as Linda "dances" on the float. Rafael, Nico, and Pedro arrive next to Blu and Banjo.)

"Banjo! Blu! We found them!" Rafael said.

"They on some, like, weird chicken float." Pedro said.

"Come on!" Rafael said.

(They start to fly away while Blu and Banjo look at Linda before looking at each other.)

"Let's go get Jewel and Grace." Blu said.

"Yeah. Let's go Luiz and Blaze!" Banjo said.

(They start to ride away.)

"Wait! Boys! Where are you going?" Linda asked her companions.

(She steps down from the heads of the performers.)

"Whoo!" Linda said.

(She falls off the float and into Tulio's arms. The crowd cheer at her and the man claps his hands.)

"I saw Banjo and Blu! Blu is riding on a bulldog and Banjo is riding on a shih tzu pomeranian dog." Linda said.

"What?!" Tulio in shocked.

(Luiz and Blaze is approaching the chicken float.)

"There they are!" Blu said.

"That's the float." Banjo said.

"Whoo! That float is a crime in itself!" Luiz said.

(Blu and Banjo are accidentally throw off from Luiz and Blaze's back by a performer.)

"Oh!" Blaze said.

(Luiz starts to attack the performer, Jewel sees a skateboard and nudges Blu.)

"Come on, Blu!" Banjo said.

(They run towards the board and start to ride it towards the float. Linda spots them skating away.)

"There they are!" Linda said.

(Blu and Banjo use a performer who is walking on tall sticks to launch them towards the float. They climb in and see Jewel and Grace in a cage looking sad.)

"Hey, Jewel and Grace." Blu said.

"Blu! Banjo!" Jewel said excitedly.

"We're gonna let you out of here." Banjo said.

"No, no! You can't be here! You have to go! Nigel is..." Jewel said.

(Suddenly Nigel attacks Banjo and Blu and throws them into a cage.)

"Hello, pretty birds. So kind of you to join our little soiree." Nigel said.

"Oh, come on! You really think we came alone? We got three of the roughest, meanest, craziest birds in all of Rio right behind me!" Blu said.

"Woohoo! You know there guys!" Pedro said.

(Banjo and Blu see that Nigel has placed Nico, Pedro and Rafael in a cage nearby.)

"We're saved! That's right! That's right! That's right!" Pedro said.

"Uh... I think he means us." Nico said.

"Oh." Pedro said.

"Ah, love! It's such a powerful and stupid thing." Nigel said.

(Nigel holds the feathers of Banjo, Grace, Blu, and Jewel and flies to Marcel who takes the feathers and chuckles.)

"Yes! Well done, Nigel." Marcel said.

(He presses the horn and drives away from the parade with Linda and Tulio trying to chase after them.)

"Oh! Oh! Out of the way! Sorry. Wait! Wait!" Linda said.

"Whoo-hoo! We actually made it! Hey, Marcel! Can we do this again next year? Please? Please? Could I drive next year, too?" Tipa asked his boss.

(Fernando begins to kick small pieces of cloth off the float and onto the ground creating a way Linda and Tulio could track them.)

"Wait! Come back!" Linda said.

(Linda sees a float and decides to take it. She drives next to Tulio.)

"Get in." Linda said.

(Tulio jumps on and they start to chase after Marcel and the others. Meanwhile, Luiz and Blaze is on top of a Carnival float.)

"I don't know how I got up here, but I ain't never comin' down! Ahah! Woohoo!" Luiz said

(He and Blaze starts dancing.)
