Hey, guys! I'm back! Before you state it, I know I still have to finish Super Rio Y (Though I'm still debating over whether to do it or not) and publishing Super Rio X and Age Of Destiny. But you see, I recently finished my Kung Fu Panda story along with my friend ending his which makes me feel happy and sad. To digest this, I decided to return to my roots of the Rio world.

I know the fandom isn't as active as before, but I'll try to enjoy writing this as much as I can. Have fun :)

Life couldn't be more perfect for Blu the Spix macaw. He lived in the calm town of Moose Lake, Minnesota with a human companion named Linda who really loved and cared for him. In a sense, she was more like a mother than a companion to him. Unfortunately, the other birds of this town were not seeing it that way: they all though Blu was just a looser and too weak to take care of himself and needed a human to help him. Because of this, he had practically no friends.

Okay, he had no friends at all.

"Blu! I'm gonna make the groceries! I'll be back soon!" Linda called from behind the green scarf wrapped around her head to protect her from the cold wind outside along her big coat.

Blu replied with a squawk as she walked out the door. He then returned to read his book about aerial stuff. See, Blu was what we called a book-lover: he truly liked to read anything those pieces of paper could offer, but mostly about science and astrology. He wasn't too much into fiction and all that kind of stuff. When he was into it, it was mostly when he played video games in the living room.

Usually, he would do so and watch TV during the weekend, but today, he decided that he would go out and have a nice walk out in town... Oh yeah, I forgot to point this out: Blu didn't know how to fly. The reason was that, since he was risen by a human instead of a bird, he never learned how to fly like his feathered comrades. But that didn't really bother him. He didn't NEED to.

So, once he was done with his book along with the cup of hot chocolate and cookies that came with it, he used his agility to reach the front door's knob which he turned and quickly went outside to close the door before the cold wind could enter the house. Luckily he had warm feathers to protect himself from the cold wind.

Now that it was done, Blu started walking in the snowy streets of Moose Lake, like a normal person - no wonder everyone found he looked more human than avian. There were almost no people today, but the few ones he met simply looked down at him curiously without really interacting with him. Of course, everyone knew about the librarian girl who was the only one to own a Spix macaw in Moose Lake.

As he walked in the snow, he spotted a group of young gooses having fun in the local park. The two most popular girls in this quarter of the town, Alica and Chloe, were messing around with their friends. Actually, Blu had known them for a while - they were the ones who kept reminding him that he was just a weak, useless pet. And he hated them for that.

Looking into a pond of water, Blu understood another fact about his unpopularity: with his slender body and nerdy look, he could only look cute at best and that was mostly because of his blue feather. At least his hazel eyes were somehow adorable.

Anyways, he simply walked past the group of gooses without being spotted and came across a turning point of the sidewalk where was a pretty popular fruit market called At Joe's. Linda knew the owner, Joe (as the name implied it) who was a pretty nice guy and one of the very few who liked Blu outside of Linda. The market was open today and he could see from the front window that there were a few people inside, looking to buy fruits and veggies.

Smiling, happy that Linda's friend was doing well with his business, Blu resumed his walk, only to stumble over something round and falling flat on his head. "Ouch! He groaned in pain and rubbed his head with his wing before turning to look at what made him fall.

To his surprise, it was neither a puddle of ice nor a snowball, but a fruit. However, it was a fruit Blu never saw before. This one was light green like a lime, had the shape of an apple and strange patterns over the surface. The macaw scratched the back of his head in confusion as he never saw this kind of fruit before, and he read a lot of books about vegetal life. He didn't even know fruits could have patterns on them. Did it belong to Joe? Did he drop there by accident?

GROOOWL!

It was only then that Blu realized the cookies he ate left a spot in his stomach. He was still hungry and looked up at the fruit. Usually, he wouldn't eat, let alone TOUCH something he didn't know as he was very careful with his life, but just a fruit couldn't possibly hurt. And Joe wouldn't be mad at him for it, right?

So, he took the fruit in his wings and took a bite in it. It tasted pretty good: sweet and juicy. Blu didn't eat a lot of fruits, but he loved those who tasted just like this. So, eating everything to the core, he threw the remaining into a nearby trash can (which was an amazing feat considering strength was his weakness) and whipped the juice that he got on his feathers.

He suddenly started feeling weird, as if his stomach started spinning on itself. He clutched his wings around it and coughed a bit, expecting vomit to come out, but the only thing to come out was fresh air. He started asking himself what was in the fruit he just ate? The blue macaw should probably go back home and wait for it to pass.

As he started walking back home, Blu passed before the park once again and saw that the gooses were still there. However, there was another thing that caught his sight: a bird was tied to a pole in the middle of the park and the gooses were making fun of him. Or so he thought. But one thing was for sure: he felt something bad was going on. Even though he didn't know how he could help, Blu decided to go across the street and to the park to get a closer look.

Once he was close enough, he got a better view of the tied bird: a beautiful male golden eagle with white head feathers and brown for his body with a golden beak and talons. However, his most notable feature was a scar going across his right eye. His feathers were all messy and he had a mark on his cheek. Probably those coward gooses jumped on him and decided to tie him there for fun. Judging by the way Alice and Chloe were talking to him, Blu was perfectly right.

"We don't like strangers who think they can just come out in our town and act like normal people!" Alica said with a smirk.

"Yeah, you're a strange bird, you have a scar across your horrible eye and you talk strangely. We don't like this at all." Chloe added to which the other gooses nodded.

Blu, who was hiding behind a trash can, was trembling of both nervosity and anger. He really wanted to help this bird as he was being mistreated because of his difference which was something Blu was himself a victim of, but he didn't know how: those guys were more numerous than him and he would get seriously injured at best. He was far from being a fighter after all.

The ideas were all spinning in his head until he finally decided to jump out and shouted: "HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

He immediately regretted this as all the gooses turned to look at him. "Well, well, if it isn't our little pet," Alice said with a smirk, finally getting away from the trapped eagle. "You came here to play the hero?" She taunted which made the whole gang laugh.

"What did I thought about? I can't do anything against those guys!" Blu scolded himself mentally and was about to leave by running, hoping to get back home before they decided to follow him. However, he quickly found himself surrounded by the whole group who flew all around him, leaving no exits possible.

"You're trapped, boy!" Alice said before looking up. "Actually, not that much. You can always leave by flying - Oh wait, I forgot that you can't fly. My bad." She tauntingly said and then laughed out loud along with all the others.

This caused Blu to frown. He hated to be mocked because of his difference. Whether it was his inability to fly or his different appearance. If they thought they could simply hurt his feelings and physically harm an innocent bird and simply get away with it, they were wrong. They were going to hurt Blu anyways, so he might as well hurt them first!

Charging forward, he went for a smash and then, something completely unexpected happened. His wings that he clutched into a fist stretched forward like a string and actually landed in Alice's fast, knocking her down into the snow. As his wing returned, Blu looked at it with a surprised and confused look. How did he do that?

"W-What just happened?!" Blu realized that the gooses were even more shocked than him - so much that no one helped Alica back up yet.

After looking at his wing for a moment, Blu decided to try again and went for another punch. Surprisingly, his wing stretched again and connected with Chloe's stomach before returning to its normal state. The macaw then took one of his wingtips in his beak and stretched it away. It was like he became a plastic man!

"A monster! Let's get out of here!" A goose called before flying away along with all the others, marking the first Blu actually got the last word against them.

After looking at his wings for a while, surprised at his new power, Blu got brought back to reality by a cough that came from the still tied eagle. "Oh, sorry!" He quickly said and went to cut the ropes with his beak, letting him fall on his knees. He went to help him up. "You're okay?"

"Yeah..." He simply replied with a British accent.

"Sorry about this; those guys are real jerks," Blu explained before looking at the eagle's body. "Are you hurt?"

"No: they barely damaged me." He said before smiling. "My name is Yusei Saklov, but you may call me Dominic."

Blu tilted his head in confusion. "You're Russian?"

"Yup, I came here just recently. Don't really have anywhere to go, y'know." He replied with scratching the back of his head with his wing.

An idea suddenly popped into Blu's mind: this guy was new and didn't know anything about him. It was the perfect occasion to bond with him and maybe make a new friend.

"Why don't you come to my home? My owner and I could feed you and protect you from the cold." He proposed with enthusiasm.

"Sure, why not. Just wait a sec'." Dominic replied and walked behind the pole he has been tied to and returned with what looked like a bird-sized katana into a green scabbard.

"What's this?" Blu asked.

"It's my sword. I carry it everywhere I go." Dominic simply answered as if it was common. His body turning plastic, a Russian eagle carrying a sword. Decidedly, Blu really saw everything today. "So you ate a Magical Fruit?" Dominic suddenly said.

"A what?" Blu asked in confusion.

Dominic also rose an eyebrow. "Well, from what I've seen, you have the power to stretch your body like plastic. That's because you ate a Magical Fruit, right?"

"Well, yes, I did eat a strange fruit before coming here, a few minutes ago," Blu recalled. "I did feel strange afterward, but I've never seen such a fruit before. What is a Magical Fruit?"

"Oh boy, I landed far from my home," Dominic mumbled. "Magical Fruits are special fruits that give powers to the bird who eat them. They are very rare and have a great value in the whole world. Looks like the one you ate turned you into a plastic bird."

Okay, that was one of the craziest things he ever heard in his whole life. If he wouldn't have stretched his wings like that, he would have though Dominic has gotten too many hits on the head.

"So? Where's your house? We should be able to fly there quickly?" Dominic asked and looked around.

"Yes, it's close." Blu nodded before smiling sheepishly. "But, hum...I don't know how to fly..."

So? Enjoying it so far? Do you like my way of writing, the characters, and story? Lemme know in the reviews ;)
