Guardians and the legend of the Pooka's
Chapter 24
Bunnymund panted as he tried to come up with a new plan. He was truthfully doing this as he went along but now he knew that he needed a full thought plan of action. The Pooka looked around in his rather narrow hide away as his breathing became uneven. Bunnymund shook his head in order to shake off the heart problems as he was not going to allow this to consume his health!
Bunny suddenly heard the screams of his father fill his long ears as Luther was tempting him out from hiding! Luther's voices were rather muffled though since he was underground. It was then he recalled his training with the elder and an idea clicked into his head as a smirk widened on his snow-white muzzle.
Back on the surface with Luther, the older Pooka was cautiously looking at his surroundings as he stood on a flag pole, keeping his large, flexible feet firmly planted on the orb that stood on top of the silver pole. As the current leader of the pooka race was scanning the ground below him in search of his rogue son, the rest of the pooka army was continuing their raid but most of them were being fought off by the rest of the guardians and their allies.
"Where are ya, hippity-hoppy?" Seethed Luther as he silently looked around on the dirt-covered ground below him for any signs of Bunnymund resurfacing. Once he found nothing, Luther decided to come down and continue the fight in order to defeat his son before he defeats him. But, little did he know, it was a trap! Multiple holes opened around him in a circle, meaning any one of those holes could be Bunnymund's exit. Bunnymund jumped out of a hole that appeared in the ground above him and kicked his father in the stomach with both big feet like a front-wards buck and this took Luther by surprise and he skid backwards until he eventually came to a stop before scrambling to his massive feet. Only for Bunnymund to shoot energy balls from his paws but Luther expertly dodged them, only one hitting him.
Not wasting time, Bunnymund snapped his fingers and with that, a vine exploded from the ground and the tip coiled around Luther's waist as it grew and lifted Luther off the ground along with it.
"YOU!" Snarled Luther as he struggled to escape from the vine's clutch on him and he gritted his teeth and scowled at Bunny who was withdrawing his son's sword before he pointed the razor sharp tip of the sword inches from his father's throat, threatening to end his life there and then if he made any sudden movements.
"I'm sorry it has to be like this, dad." Apologised Bunnymund gruffly as he tried not to show any emotion but he was failing at this task since his bushy grey eyebrows were knitted together despite the amour he wore along his body. "Hehehehe...you ain't seen nothing yet, bucky boy!" With that sinister cackle, Luther kicked the vine and in turn it let him go and without wasting a moment, the older pooka went straight for his son by clutching the Easter Bunny's shoulders tightly with his nails digging in and pinning him against the wall of a house, smirking menacingly.
Bunnymund had never felt this sore as he sharply gritted his teeth in alarm, trying to break free of his father's painful grasp on him. His green eyes examined Luther's and he could see that his father was enjoying this a lot! Bunny was not surprised but he had to ask one question as he and Luther began to glare at each other menacingly with the hatred for each other began burning in the orbs of their eyes.
"Where were youse when mum was savin' me?" Asked Bunnymund hotly as his ears began to falter behind his head and he heard his father reply equally hotly "I was busy protectin' the people you betrayed! That's what I was DOIN', ya ignoramus!"
"And ya didn't have any concerns about my Motha, did you?" Asked the Easter Bunny sharply through clenched teeth and this question caused Luther to pause also but he scowled at his son as he tried to restrain himself from killing Bunnymund right there and then! Luther was so furious that his black-grey fur was beginning to stick up and his body began to glow a dark black with his pupils disappearing and a bright light reflecting in his eyes. Luther's teeth even began to change into monstrous fangs and sharp teeth!
This did not scare Bunny, though, as he continued to rant to his father and his father actually released him in surprise "Yeah, youse heard me! Youse nevah cared about my Motha! You just cared about the fact that the war Pitch had brought upon the Pooka race was destroying you're precious empire!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" roared Luther viciously as he charged at his son and this caused a full on chase as they leaped from building to building with their fast agility. Luther chased Bunny as his dark energy increased with every bound across each roof and he glared daggers at his fleeing son.
As Bunnymund raced to get away from his enraged father, his heart ponded within his chest and it hurt him severely! His breathing was becoming laboured, his eyes were being drained in colour and his ears were so weak that they were just limply flopping behind him as he dashed on all fours. He was so weak yet he forced himself to carry on the fight!
Back down below, Bluey was continuously eyeing up above to keep an eye on his fighting dad while he was fighting his own enemies! Bluey was using his martial art moves to fight off the many guards and warriors that were threatening the very lives of the human race! Suddenly, the sound of a familiar high pitched screams alerted Bluey to look behind him and he was horrified to see that young Melody was surrounded by many demon Pooka that looked awfully similar to Pitch's Nightmare creatures except they had red eyes instead of yellow and they had a bit of a smoother texture and they had bat-like wings.
The young toddler pooka was trapped and clasped her small paws over her large tear-filled eyes as her long ears were falling flat beside her head and she basically rolled up into a small lavender coloured ball after that in a poor attempt to protect herself but, before any of the demon pooka could lay their claws upon the young pooka, a dark blue blur swept Melody up and carried her away from the brink of death.
Knowing that the ground was covered with fighting Pooka warriors and some of the remaining four guardians, Bluey decided to teleport himself back up to the top of the Leaning tower of Pisa where Jamie was comforting Sophie.
Bluey hurriedly placed young Melody down next to Sophie and he decided to catch his breath for the moment by comforting the youngsters. The teenage pooka read Jamie's comforting expression carefully before he suddenly had an idea. Snapping his fingers with a large grin on his cyan muzzle, he closed his eyes in concentration and a magenta glow infested his entire body and before long, something amazing happened.
Bluey had managed to create a small fluffy duckling made of magic from his powers. He had created life! He had never been able to do this before so he found it as quite an achievement as the little fluffy creature waddled over to Sophie whose eyes widened in wonder of the strange yellow ball of feathered fluff. The magical duckling quacked in interest before it rubbed its head lovingly against Sophie's bare footed ankle since she and Jamie were in their Pyjamas after all.
"Mom's gonna flip whenever she finds out that Sophie now has a pet duck." Joked Jamie as he was now happy that Sophie had stopped whimpering like she had done before the son of the Easter bunny had entered the hiding place of him and his little sister. Bluey smirked as he watched Melody pet the little fluffy bird. Suddenly, he felt someone put a paw upon his shoulder and this made his whip his head around to see who it was and he relaxed whenever he saw that it was Elisen grinning at him with the most prettiest of smiles he ever did see.
The lilac furred pooka grinned at Bluey before telling him with the softest smile she could muster "Bluey, it was kind of you to do this for the kids."
Bluey found himself blushing very brightly despite his fur trying to hide it but sadly, it was his ears that were blushing and that shown that humiliating fact. "Th-thanks, Elisen..." Bluey stammered modestly as his ears erected slightly and flopped slightly due to the heat his body was radiating because of the fact that his crush was acknowledging him.
Elisen admitted as she held her paws together in a bashful way "You know, Bluey. You're so noble and so brave that it makes me a bit jealous."
Bluey could hardly believe his ears as he looked at Elisen sternly and used his paw to cup the female Pooka's chin and make her look into his hazel eyes. As the two looked at each other with their eyes locked on "Elisen, you are the bravest Pooka I have ever seen and thats saying something since I'm the guardian of Bravery. I am proud to love Youuu..." Bluey trailed off when he realised that he said too much and even blabbed his feelings to her.
Elisen, however, didn't have a look of disgust like he thought she would. Instead, she wore a kind smile on her snow-white muzzle and Bluey and Elisen both moved towards each other and leaned forwards with their eyes drooping more and more as they were drawing closer to each other. When they were about to touch lips, however, Jack exclaimed as he was dodging some attacks being thrown at him by the other warrior Pooka's back down below "Am I interrupting something, Easter Joey?"
With that, Jack flew off to continue dodging the attacks and Bluey then muttered in a hiss, obviously annoyed that this was the second time that his first kiss had been blown once again "Curse fate!"
Elisen giggled before she took Bluey's paw in hers and told him gently "C'mon. Lets finish this."
Bluey and Elisen both looked back at the children to see that they were still focused upon the little magical duckling that Bluey had given Sophie to calm her down but they had both secretly wished that Bunnymund would make it, for everyone's sake.
Back on the rooftops, Luther was still chasing Bunnymund and he was ever so close to catching his son and preventing him from doing anything again! Due to Bunny's health problems, the Aussie accented Pooka was slowly slowing down as each roof was being bounded on. But, the inevitable occurred when a turn was supposed to be taken. Bunny skidded to the side and because the two Pooka were now so high up, the Easter bunny was now clutching to the roofs small pipe chimney in order to stay alive!
Luther approached his struggling son with pure hatred burning in his clover eyes as he stood on his son's paws in order to force him to let go. Bunnymund winced as the pain in his paws and heart was becoming too much for him to bear! Bunny closed his eyes as he tried to come up with a plan quick before his father ended him! Once he opened his eyes and quickly released the chimney in order to swiftly withdraw his son's sword and he focused on his ultimate power as he stabbed his father with it, making green light emanate from Luther's chest and no blood escaped it, instead a blinding light engulfed Luther's entire body and within moments, a tiny clover green crystal dropped from the air and to the roof's solid floor, making a 'klink' noise as it fell. Leaves were blowing in the wind after that as they escaped from the green crystal.
Bunnymund had trapped his father in no more then a crystal prison where he could speak to no body until his day of release which won't be for another 300 years or so and while he's in there he won't feel the need for eat or drink nor will he grow any older then he is currently but he could feel how much time has gone by. It's not like he's in there one moment and the next he's out, time in his prison will be slow and Luther will get what he deserved for treating the Pooka kind with such violence.
Bunny had made a huge sacrifice by encaging his father, though. He began to fall down and fall down fast. That chimney was Bunny's only way of surviving this and due to how fast he was falling, Bunny's heart gave up and he found himself engulfed in a deep slumber. Bunny heard the next words in faint echoes before everything else that was said fell to his death ears.
"Bunny?..."
"C'mon, cotton tail! Wake up."
"Hold on, dad. We'll help youse. I promise..."
A/N: Thats the end of this chapter, guys and only two or maybe three chapters to go! Never saw this coming did you?
Anyways, I thank authors like: 'Edam Aster Bunnymund' and 'Anony mouse101' for helping and supporting me with this story. I thank EVERYONE for supporting me with this story! :D please forgive me for not updating in so long. I'm just very busy and still quite unwell.
I must say that I have been planning this for a long time, guys. It took a lot of deciding on what to do but I eventually thought it over and thought of this ending. This is also the deciding chapter of Bunny's future. Can you guess what it is?
I also thank 'Edam Aster Bunnymund' very much for giving me the ideas for the vines and multiple holes and stuff. I will also add that I am very much looking forward to his story: Edam Aster Bunnymund, heroes Chronicles! Can't wait for it! I will also allow him to borrow my OC, Bluey if he wants to. I don't mind, really, as long as he gives me credit to him.
Also, I WILL do a Bunnymund and Bethany origin story. I promise! Seriously, I have been thinking about that too. I just need to finish this first.
Please leave reviews of what you think and favourites and stuff will be appreciated. Thanks, guys!
I'll just leave you for now by saying that the next chapter just might surprise you. ;)
