In an attempt to help him, Edmée explains Arlo that he is from New York, and unaware that he was actually abandoned, Arlo decides to travel to the city to find his birth parents.

While traveling, Arlo is spotted by a person who contacts two alligator hunters, Ruff and Stucky, to retrieve him using a creature known as “the Beast”. After the hunters find him, Arlo is rescued by Bertie, who is also a teenager. At a wrestling club, the pair meet Furlecia, Teeny Tiny Tony, and Alia, who agree to drive Arlo and Bertie to NYC after they help rescue their friend Marcellus from an aquarium.

Leaving his group after finding a way to talk to him, Arlo is told by Ansel that he is not his son. Disappointed and alone, Arlo enters a sewage drain and is later found by the rest of his group who then teaches them that no matter how different he is, his flaws are what makes him who he is. At a gala, Ansel reveals that he actually wants to remodel the seashore environment of NYC into a large city, shocking Arlo.

After Ansel manages to rescue Arlo, he reveals to an audience that he is, in fact, Arlo’s father and also half-bird.
