Milo appears to be in a similar state of shock, after emerging from behind a cabinet door. He promptly shakes himself out of it and scampers over to assist Leo in unlocking the cages, beginning a climb up to the display cases. "Hey Leo, you want me to help you out there?"

The ink flows into a dark puddle, just move your hand- write the way into his heart"EEK!" He dodges the incoming attack...

his grip slips loose and he goes plummeting to the tile floor of the pet shop with a barely audible thump. He's managed to avoid the bird for now, though.
The ink flows into a dark puddle, just move your hand- write the way into his heart"Milo!" Arkady yells, as he runs towards Milo. This gives some of the parrots time to lunge towards the lizard. They extend their claws...

...and are somewhat successful. They grip Arkady's backside, their claws deep inside it, but due to him being too large and heavy, they can fly only so high. Arkady drops to the ground.
The pet shop parrot keeps fighting off the wave of cultist parrots. The floor is littered with slowly dying parrots.
The Elder Parrot is still alive, however. It is a bronze-winged parrot, with color of feathers much darker than they should be. His beak is scarred, and the Elder Parrot is perched on one of the cages.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?The Elder Parrot watches from afar.
"No!" Arkady says, "There was no horn! Now, wake up, Milo! Please!"
The parrot, having his throat slashed, falls down. The animals - the ones that got out of their cages, anyway - are fleeing.
"Do you need help?" the pet shop parrot asks, fighting off and clawing down the last of the seemingly endless wave of cultist parrots.

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Not all. Aside from the defeated parrots who are on the floor, some of the parrots are still alive and fighting. Including the Elder Parrot, who is a supremacist sociopath.
Suddenly, the Elder Parrot bursts into mad laughing.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?After having a laughing fit, the Elder Parrot steps down and lunges towards Nightstar, intent on snapping her neck.
"You! Cats, wild or not, are all disgusting! The wild cats are covered with fleas; the domestic cats think they are the owners! It is time I'll straighten your attitude. Not a single animal from this pet shop shall leave this ghost city!" the Elder Parrot screeches.
You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?Leo is successful at jumping towards the Elder, but the Elder is strong enough to grab him with his legs.
"And you. Raccoon... for intruding on our conspiration, you shall make a fine meal for me and my new Cult. But first... It's time you meet THE WALL!" he says, intent on crushing Leo's head at high speeds against the wall.

Before the parrot can throw Leo off, Nighstar leaps at the elder parrot and grabs onto him, sending all three of them tumbling hard onto the ground. Nightstar gets the worst of it as her body is smashed beneath those of the other two animals.
"Aaargh," she moans, struggling to get up after the ordeal.
i think i mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart"Ack!" the Elder Parrot drops to the ground and tries to wrestle Leo off him.
"You and your attitude, young raccoon," the Parrot spits out. "You're nothing more than a large opossum! A shifty, thievous, worthless beast that reeks of worms and trash! And you, cat..." the Parrot looks at Nightstar, "...you are nothing more than an overfed, mutated rat!"

The Elder wrestles Nightstar and Leo off him and flies high into the sky.
"Prepare to be mangled, disgusting rats!" he says.

You really are from the future! Tell me, am I living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way?The box knocks down the Elder. Almost. He gets up into the sky again after briefly falling.
"Hahaha!" the Elder laughs, "You mammals are useless. You can't fly, you just crawl on the ground. Not that other birds are very useful - they can't talk in human language. They can't be understood by humans. Now, this place is going to be your grave! Your pitiful grave, grave of a snake's meal, a fleabag, an obese possum, an overgrown agama and a traitor!"
"Say what?!" Arkady yells, "They are all my friends! I value them."
"That, coming from the mouth of a creature which slows down every time it gets colder than usual!" the Elder says.
The pet shop parrot suddenly appears.
"Let me deal with him." he says to Leo and the gang.
"YOU!" the Elder yells, "Your brother was a valuable addition to my group. Too bad I saw this raccoon mangle him, destroy his eyeballs and bend his legs in half!"
"What?!" the pet shop parrot says.

She starts climbing up the cages until she gets near enough to her target - The fire alarm should be loud enough to attract her clan's attention.
She braces herself for a second, then leaps towards the wall....
(4)
She frantically scrambles for the alarm, and just barely manages to get her paw into the handle, desperately holding on with her claws. The weight of her body pushes the handle down, and suddenly the alarm blares throughout the city.

"A cult of parrots is invading the place." Arkady says, fighting off the parrots. "As Leo has learned, they killed all the humans in this ghost town!"
The pet shop parrot yells suddenly:
"PREPARE TO DIE!"
He takes his foe, the cultist parrot, high into the sky and drops him onto the pet shop parrot's cage, killing the cultist parrot. The pet shop parrot rises high to the roof, fighting off other parrots.
