A Robin Hood/Fighting Foodons crossover with Sir Hiss/Clawdia romance.

Ch.1: Escaping Death

Clawdia held still as she sat in the foliage of the tree, not wanting to make a sound. After failing King Gorge one too many times against Chase and his friends, the king decided to punish the poor cat-girl. And she knows what that punishment is…death! So she escaped to avoid the punishment.

Now she's hiding away in the tree, trying to avoid the Gormandizers on her tail. The lavender feline then held her breath and held completely still. She can't risk making a single sound less the Gormandizers below her below her hear and find her.

Oh, please, don't let them find me, she prayed as the Gormandizers looked around for any signs of her. A while later, they gave up and left. Once she's sure they're all gone, Clawdia let out a sigh of relief and relaxed a little but stayed in the tree.

"What am I to do now?" she asked herself. "If I let the Gluttons catch me, King Gorge will kill me. And if I go to the Rebel Chefs, they'll just turn me over to the Gluttons. I've nowhere else to go…" She then looked up at the stars, one of them larger and brighter than all the rest. The wishing star…Oh, but making a wish on it would never help. Just give the wisher false hope. Clawdia then buried her face into her hands with tears in her eyes.

Oh, how I wish I can escape into a world where I'd truly fit in, she thought in between tears. What she doesn't know is that the wishing star was for real and heard her tearful prayer…

Clawdia stopped her crying when she heard a sound behind her…a magical humming sound. Turning around, she looked at the hole in the tree trunk behind her. Is it just her, or was that hole glowing a second ago? She then crawled over to the hole to get a better look inside, thinking something inside it made it glow…only to slip and fall into the hole!

Clawdia screamed as she shut her eyes, bracing herself for when she hits the ground. Her eyes were shut so tightly, the cat-girl didn't see the light that flashed under her…

It was a full five seconds when Clawdia reached the ground. Fortunately, a pile of leaves cushioned her fall. The she heard voices.

"Whoa! What the—"

"Where did she come from?"

"Oh, I pray she's alright." Confused that they're not Gormandizer voices, Clawdia opened her eyes and was surprised by her new surroundings. She's in a different forest in broad daylight. And rushing up to her are four anthromorphic animals. The first to reach her was a fox dressed in a green tunic and a yellow-green archer's hat with a red feather. His companion behind him is a brown bear in the same outfit but with a hat the same color as his tunic. The other two are a badger in a monk's brown robe and a rooster in a minstrel's blue dress shirt and holding a lute in his left wing.

"Are you alright?" the fox then asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she assured him as the bear helped her up. "Nothing broken." She then looked around the forest. "But…where am I?" The four men looked at each other in confusion.

"Uh…you're in Sherwood Forest," the bear answered, giving her an arched eyebrow. "Didn't ya know that?" Sherwood Forest? How did she end up here? It can't be…the wishing star?

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked the rooster. Clawdia snapped out of it and nodded in answer.

"I'm sure," she answered. "I'm sorry, but…I'm not from around here."

"What brings you here to us, child?" asked the badger.

"Well, to be honest," she answered, "I was on the run. I once served a powerful king, but I've been failing him so much, he decided to punish me for my failures. But I already know the punishment…death. So I ran for it."

"And you've nowhere else to go?" asked the fox. Clawdia shook her head sadly. She then watched as the men conversed quietly before turning to her again.

"What's your name?" the rooster asked.

"Clawdia."

"Well, Clawdia," the fox replied, "we were thinking. How would you like to join our band? I'm sure you have great potential as one of us." Clawdia then thought about it. This is just the chance she needs to start her life over.

"Count me in!" The fox smiled in reply.

"Then I think it's time we get acquainted," he stated. "The name's Robin Hood." He shook her hand before introducing his comrades. "This big fella here is Little John. The monk here is Friar Tuck. And the minstrel here is Alan-A-Dale."

And that was how the former Glutton Chef Clawdia came to be in Robin Hood's band of outlaws in Nottingham.
