I do not own NFL Rush Zone. I only own my OC's, Luka, Triton, and Skyla!
Later in the HOK..
Skyla must've been busy on something she has to work on. Mostly with her friends, Luka, and Triton.
"*Sigh* Life always gets a little boring for me.." Skyla sighed.
"What's wrong, Skyla?" Luka asked.
"Nothing. Just life being boring." Skyla replied.
"Well, try something new!" Luka said, revealing a pogo stick he used to play when he was a tween.
"Wait. A pogo stick?" Skyla reformed.
"Yep. A pogo stick I used to play with when I was a tween. Not a teenager, but a tweenager! I used to play with it. But when I was an adult, I don't play with it anymore." Luka explained.
"Hmm.. What does that do?" Skyla asked, getting on the pogo stick.
"Uh, mate? You might' want to be very careful about that pogo stick.." Luka informed.
"What are you talking about? I was just trying it out!" Skyla spoke, using Luka's pogo stick.
Skyla tried to use her best balance while using the pogo stick, but eventually failed. Skyla tried to get off the pogo stick, but can't. She hopped all the way until she slammed into the front of the wall while a couple of Rusherz watched. Skyla fell on the floor, then got up,rubbing her head (or helmet).
"Skyla! Are you alright!?" Triton spoke, running towards Skyla.
"Yeah. I just.. I'm not good at using that pogo stick, it's my first time using it." Skyla said, rubbing her head.
"Skyla, are you alright?" Luka asked.
"Yeah." Skyla sighed.
"I told you to be careful, Skyla!" Luka lectured.
"Sorry, Luka. It's my first time using your pogo stick." Skyla said.
"OK. Next time, be careful.. Alright?" Luka asked.
"Yes, I will." Skyla replied.
"Speaking of pogo sticks, if you are a Kangaroo, why would you use a pogo stick if you are able to hop like kangaroos do?" Triton asked.
"I use it for fun. I still hop while using my feet, but I used to ride my pogo stick. Not anymore, I now hop with my back legs." Luka explained.
"Hmm. That explains a lot." Triton said.
Swoop came by Luka and Skyla.
"How's it going, guys?" Swoop asked.
"G'day, Swoop. Everythin's going well. Skyla tried to get the best balance while riding on my pogo stick, but then failed. I told her she needs to be careful next time." Luka said.
"Are you alright, Skyla?" Swoop asked.
"She told us that she's fine now.." Triton said.
"Well, thanks. Skyla was about to reply." Swoop said.
"Are we gonna work now?" Triton asked.
"All Rusherz aren't working now." Swoop replied.
"Wait. Why?" Luka asked.
"R.Z informed all Rusherz, and you guys that we are not gonna work during the NFL offseason." Swoop said.
"Wait. That means no football?" Luka asked.
"Not until preseason starts, and regular season starts in September." Triton replied.
"You're a kangaroo, and you play Rugby. Right?" Skyla asked.
"I moved from Australia to here. I thought Australia is the best place for me to just stay here. But I thought I can move here. I still like Australia, but I thought since I am a Rusher, I moved here to the HOK, and then I'm staying here at the Rusherz' Quarters." Luka explained.
"What's that place?" Skyla asked.
"The Rusherz' Quarters is a place where all 32 Rusherz stay here. And they are some new rooms for new Rusherz in case they are new here to the HOK." Swoop said.
"I can use my teleporter to teleport to Australia!" Luka said.
"Now Luka.. It's not the time to do that.." Skyla informed.
"Oh.." Luka replied.
"What are we gonna do?" Triton asked.
"Travel?" Luka asked.
"Speaking of travel, where should we go?" Triton asked.
"Me and Skyla are going to a trip from here to Canada." Swoop said.
"Didn't you tell me that earlier ago?" Skyla asked.
"2 days later, R.Z informed all Rusherz that they can have a break during the offseason. So I told you that we are going there 2 days ago. Also, this was planned 2 days ago." Swoop said to Skyla.
"Oh, that makes sense." Skyla replied.
"Should you guys be packing up? It's getting a little to noon." Luka asked.
Skyla knew that she and Swoop forgot to pack up for the trip they planned two days ago. Instead, she replied, only a little nervous tone.
"Y-Yep! W-we should get p-packing by now!" Skyla stammered.
Swoop didn't realize what's wrong with Skyla.
"Are you alright? You sound a little nervous." Swoop asked.
"Yeah. I knew that we forgot to pack up for the trip you planned two days ago." Skyla said.
"That's alright. We should get packing up." Swoop replied.
Swoop and Skyla both went to the Rusherz' Quarters to pack up.
Some time later..
After the two Eagle Rusherz packed up, they went to the HOK, Skyla and Swoop both said "Goodbye" to all Rusherz in the HOK. 32 Rusherz, and Luka (including Darkflare, Lotus, Swift, and Harper). As if Swoop and Skyla went out of the HOK with their suitcases, they both waited for the truck to arrive.
"Well, I haven't been in Canada before." Skyla said.
"Yep. We gotta be careful about the black ice." Swoop said.
"What's the black ice?" Skyla asked.
"Black ice is a coating of ice on a road or a street." Swoop replied.
"Oh, I get it." Skyla sighed.
10 Minutes Later..
10 minutes passed, and the truck has arrived. The car drove towards Swoop and Skyla. The car has it's window down, and Clyde the Border Collie was in the truck.
"Clyde? Is that you?" Swoop asked.
"Yep! That's me!" Clyde said.
"Nice truck you have there!" Swoop said.
"Thanks. My truck is a Chevy Silverado. It was from 2005, and this was 14 years ago. It's a 4x4." Clyde said.
"Are we just gonna get in?" Swoop asked.
"Yes! Sorry about the talkin'!" Clyde said.
Without answer, Swoop and Skyla got in the truck, and as if why Swoop and Skyla were in the backseat, the passenger seat in full due to it being folded, and the backseat was crowded with suitcases.
"Why is the backseat crowded with suitcases? Besides ours?" Swoop asked.
"Ah' put your suitcases in the backseat. One suitcase on the left seat, one on the floor. And there's a lot of stuff on the floor." Clyde said.
"OK. That's.. Just… weird.." Skyla thought.
Swoop noticed a smoky smell inside the truck. Swoop quietly coughed and covered his beak, so is Skyla.
"What's the smoky, burning fragrance!?" Swoop coughed.
"Oh, that? That's the cigarette smell. I'll get rid of it.." Clyde said, getting rid of the used cigarettes out of the trucks, throwing them out the window.
Swoop and Skyla both uncovered their beaks, and then Clyde drove his truck from the HOK to Canada.
"How long is the ride?" Skyla asked.
"29 hours. From Ohio to Minnesota. From Minnesota to Saskatchewan, Canada." Clyde said.
Skyla nodded.
Many hours later..
Many hours has passed, and then it's getting sunset. They were almost there to Saskatchewan, Canada. As if the black ice kept making the truck kept on sliding, Clyde kept controlling it.
"Dang black ice. Wha' won't you stop slidin' mah' truck around!?" Clyde lectured himself.
In the morning..
"Alright. I got mah' truck full of fuel now, time to drive!" Clyde said, getting in his truck.
Clyde was at the gas station, getting more fuel for his truck while Skyla and Swoop were fast asleep. As if Clyde drove his truck, he rode the sign and said "Welcome to Saskatchewan, Canada!".
"Yep. Good old Canada.." Clyde said.
Later..
Clyde was trying to control his truck by using the steering wheel multiple times to get to the right position of driving. As if Clyde was trying to control his truck by the steering wheel, a car slid to the black ice, and then Clyde shook, dodging the car, sliding onto the black ice. Clyde dodged it safely. Until, a semi-truck slide towards his Chevy Silverado, getting a close call.
"Dang! Wha' would those cars slid onto the dang ice!?" Clyde asked himself. As if Clyde kept driving, a semi-truck slid faster near his truck. Skyla and Swoop woke up, then shook in horror as if the semi-truck was about to crash into Clyde's truck.
"Clyde! Watch out!" Swoop cried out.
Clyde shook in horror, watching the semi-truck sliding on the black ice. Clyde tried to turn away from the big vehicle, but the semi-truck crashed into the Chevy Silverado by the semi truck's back side trailer. The silverado flipped back and forth until it slid onto the icy ground, leaving the truck crashed. The truck is crashed, leaving it stood up like a normal truck. Clyde woke up, and the shook when they saw two Rusherz, severely injured. Skyla woke up and then got out of the truck with Clyde.
"*Sigh* Stupid black ice.." Clyde sighed.
"It's because of the cars crashing into each other!" Skyla said.
Clyde turned around and then shook in horror. He saw Swoop on the ground, covered halfway in a pool of blood, blood was everywhere all over the road. There were glass cuts all over his body, and blood stains were all over his football pants. This is when during the crash, Swoop was left flying, then fell to the ground, leaving him nearly dead. Skyla turned to Swoop and shook in horror.
"SWOOP!" Skyla cried.
Skyla ran to her boyfriend, Swoop. A pool of blood got all over the road, and Swoop was severely injured. Skyla's eyes were flooding with tears.
"No.." Skyla whimpered.
Before Clyde said a word to Skyla, she yelled out in sadness.
"NO!" Skyla cried out.
Skyla layed down on Swoop, crying on him. Clyde felt bad, so he kneeled towards him, and one tear fell on Swoop's helmet. The ambulances, the police cars, and the fire trucks came towards the two Rusherz, and Clyde. The paramedics picked up Swoop, and placed him on an emergency bed. Skyla's eyes were flooded with tears. Clyde watched in sadness as Swoop was about to be taken to the hospital.
"C-Clyde?" Skyla asked.
"Yes?" Clyde asked.
"How long will that take Swoop to the hospital?" Skyla asked.
"The paramedics said 10 minutes. Were are in the town of Saskatchewan right now." Clyde said.
Skyla turned and then flooded her eyes with tears again.
"We will get there. I promise." Clyde said, getting in the ambulance.
"Wait, the ambulance will take us to the hospital?" Skyla whimpered.
"Yes." Clyde said.
Clyde and Skyla both got in the ambulance, and the ambulance took Skyla, Clyde, and Swoop to the Saskatchewan Hospital, taking 10 minutes to get there..
At the hospital..
Clyde was talking to the doctor in the lobby.
"Is Swoop gonna be OK?" Clyde asked.
"Swoop will be fine. He has a sprained leg, a bleeding tumor all over his forehead, and some glass cuts all over his arms." Callie informed.
"I felt bad of what happened to him.." Skyla said.
"Don't worry. We will remove the bleeding tumor on his forehead." Callie ordered.
Skyla felt a little nauseous, but then sighed and nodded. Callie nodded back and went back to the emergency room.
"*Sigh* I hope he's gonna be alright.." Skyla sighed.
"Your buddy, Swoop? Yeah.. He's gonna be all fine when the surgery is gonna be successful.. Hopefully.." Clyde replied.
"Is the surgery starting?" Skyla asked.
"Not yet. They are taking Swoop to the surgery room right now.." Clyde replied.
Skyla sighed as little tears fell out of her eyes.
"Look, it's gonna be OK." Clyde said.
"B-But what am I gonna do without Swoop?" Skyla cried.
"I don't know.." Clyde sighed.
Skyla sighed, and turned around.
