Chapter 5: The end of an adventure
"Almost there...STOP!" Blu ordered as the birds pulled back on the makeshift sling shot consisting of nothing but bungie cords secured on a couple of cages, with a fire extinguisher as a projectile.
Blu taking cover in a corner of the kennel. "Hope this works..." he thought to himslef befor saying "Now very gently-" he didn't get to finish as the extinguisher shot and bounced off the glass harmlessly. "Awwwwwww..." everyone murmered depressed at the fact that the plan didn't work. "Well now what?" Blu thought to himself disappointed at his faliure. But then a small crack caught his attention. He looked up at the glass door and the crack spread through out the entire span of the door. Blu seeing this quickly ran up and kicked the glass door, shattering it completely. Cheers erupted at Blu's success as he jumped out and immidietly opened Jewel's cage.
"Help me free the others." Blu told her quickly procceding to other cages and opening them. It took several minutes but they both managed to open all the cages. Then several of them managed to prop up the cages against the door. Making a small blockade to buy them time to escape.
Blu slowly pulled the lever which opened the cargo door, revealing a dark Blu and purple sky streaked with rays of light from the sun reflecting off the crystaline light blue water, marking the beginning of another beautiful day in Rio.
The birds had no time to admire this however, as they heard a window break and Nigel standing at the front of the door, looking very angry.
"GET BACK IN YOU'RE C-" he began but didn't get to finish as Pedro, who was being carried by a friendly hawk, interrupted him.
"FREEDOM!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs pointing outside.
Every bird flew out the hatch and escaped as Nigel was trampled by everyone escaping.
"Argghhhhh!" He cried in frustration as his hard work litterally flew away from him. He got up serveying the wreckage and noticed that Blu was helping Jewel up to her feet after she had been knocked over by the mob when they escaped. "They are going to pay dearly
A flash of white and next thing Blu knew, Jewel had been knocked into a wall, knocking a cage off balance. As if in slow motion, Blu saw the cage land on Jewel's wing and heard a very nasty crack.
"Jewel!" Blu cried
"Blu my wing..." she whimpered
Blu was about to go and help Jewel but then was stopped by Nigel, who grabbed him by the throat and slammed the hard onto the ground.
"Isn't this great. We have two useless, flightless birds, against a very handsome cockatoo. I wonder who will win?" He added sarcastically before he laughed. "Oh yeah that's right, I WILL" he yelled cruelly, tightning the hold on Blu's throat.
Blu's world began to fade into oblivion as he struggled to stay conscious. He looked around to take in the world one last time. He was about to give in when he heard a small clink. He looked up and saw the fire extinguisher still hooked up to a bungie cord. Nigel noticed it too and turned to see what bumped his leg.
"What the hell is this?" he asked confused to no one in particular and loosened his grip on Blu's throat. Blu siezed this window of oppurtunity and grabbed the bungie cord and hooked it around Nigel's leg and poised his talon on the ring on the extinguisher.
"Huh?" Nigel said as he looked down at his talon and saw the hooked bungie cord.
"Not cool man, not cool." Blu said as he pulled the ring and sent the fire extinguisher flying, taking Nigel along with it, out the window of the cargo room, through the plane's windshield, and straight into the path of a propeller.
Blu winced as he heard a scream and several white feathers float by the plane, knowing what had been Nigel's fate. This was it he had won.
Blu procceded to free Jewel from the cage pinning her wing. But just before he got there, the plane gave a sudden lurch and several cages went flying out into the ocean, including the one pinning Jewel's wing down. With nothing to keep her balanced, Jewel tumbled towards the edge of the plane and held on for dear life as she saw several cages plummeting to towards the ocean.
"Blu help." Jewel cried as her grip began slipping. Birds may be able to fly, but if she fell into the ocean...she wouldn't stand a chance.
"Jewel!" Blu ran to help Jewel and almost reached her but then the plane gave another lurch, releasing the little bit of grip Jewel had and sending her plummeting towards the Earth.
"Jewel!" Blu cried desperately as he looked over the edge to see Jewel falling into the ocean.
Several thoughts went through Blu's mind all at once before he decided to jump out the plane, not knowing how to fly, after Jewel.
When he had finally caught up to her, Blu held on to Jewel tightly not believing what he had just done.
Jewel noticed Blu's presence and was shocked to see he had jumped after her. "But he doesn't know how to fly!" Jewel thought alarmed.
"Blu you're crazy what are you doing?"
Blu looked directly into her eyes and told her the most beautiful and caring thing anyone has ever told her.
"I'm not letting you go, we're chained to each other birds, remember? The truth is...I love you Jewel."
Jewel simply stared at him at a loss of for words. She knew what he meant by this and finally decided that she didn't have to answer in words but through actions.
She grabbed the back of Blu's head and pulled him into a deep, passionate, heartfelt kiss.
Blu didn't know how to react at first but then kissed her back, letting complete bliss fill his soul. "At least I get to spend my last few moments with you." he thought happily.
The kiss lasted several seconds before Blu finally broke it as he got an unusual feeling in his stomach. He felt his heart accelerate and felt his wings spread in response. "What's going on...this feeling...it feels so familiar." he thought as both of them neared the water. But just before they hit the water, Blu did a barrel roll securing Jewel in his talons and began to fly towards ipanema beach.
"Huh?"
"Blu you're flying! You're really flying."
"I am...? Wait I am!" he yelled with glee gliding side to side a little. They flew in silence for a while. Jewel thought happily to herself and smiled. "He finally pulled through..." Jewel thought joyfuly to herself. "and all he needed was a little kiss." Jewel smiled. She had been wrong to misjudge Blu's intentions. But everything ended well for them in the end.
Then Blu broke the silence recalling an earlier conversation when Jewel was a little less-than-friendly terms with him.
"You were right Jewel!" Blu told her.
"I'm not suprised, but may I ask about what?"
"I'm not an ostritch!" Blu told her happily before doing a loop-de-loop causing Jewel to get startled at how fast Blu was getting the hang of this in the short time he'd been flying.
"Hey you're getting good at this." Jewel commented impressed with Blu.
"Thanks...so where to now?"
"Well looking at the shape my wing's in...I'd say to that crazy bird doctor's place. What's his name...Julio?
"You mean Tulio?" Blu corrected
"Yeah take me over there."
"I thought you hated humans." Blu asked confused
"Well seeing as I don't have a choice if I want to fly again..." Jewel responded teasingly.
"Okay to the aviary we go, hold on!" he said as he sharply changed direction causing Jewel to giggle in suprise and flew towards the aviary, where Tulio and Linda had gone after they failed stop the smuggelers taking Fernando with them.
"I love you Jewel, and I love Rioooooooo!" Blu cried at the top of his lungs.
Jewel looked up at her new boyfriend with a smile on her face. "Guess what Blu?" Jewel told Blu happily looking into his Brown eyes.
"What?"
"I love you too." she said as she pulled him into another kiss.
Sorry I couldn't put in the lyrics to the song. My internet has limited usage per day (stupid phone app) and I don't have the whole song memorized. But if it's worth anything the name of the song was "Written in the Stars" by Tinie Tempah Turner feel free to look it up. Still don't see how anything but the chorus relates to the story but oh well. Anyway that was chapter 5. Hope you guys liked it. Oh and primeiring Monday I have the sequel to this story. The name of it I'm still deciding but the plot I have all figured out (somewhat XD.) It will include a lot of action, Romance, drama, violence, pretty much the whole nine yards. It was great writing this story for you guys. I'm glad I was able to finish it. Once again thanks to all of you and Happy Reading and Writing!
