Well, it looks like we're back with another story! Please note that this story is referenced from Kangaroo Jack: G'day USA!. I do not own AFL Mascot Manor, the NFL, the NHL, or the mascots itself. I only own my OC, Carla. Enjoy!
Gawler Ranges National Park, Australia..
It's a partly cloudy day at Gawler Ranges, as crows were flying. Kangaroos were seen to hop around to the right. It was only a quest that Bailey and Rampage were running across the forest.
"Hey! Cut the vine!" Bailey said.
"I am! I'm having trouble cutting this thing apart!" Rampage snarled, trying to cut the vine.
A red-bellied black snake hissed at the two mascots, running away from the reptile.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Rampage asked.
"I think not! We might be dead!" Bailey replied.
As Rampage and Bailey continued to run, their quest was now stopped by Claude.
"Oi! Can't you see we're tryin' to film here!?" Claude spat.
Claude was seen with a directors costume on, with a film clapper, and director megaphone in both hands.
"Claude? Why are you a director?" Bailey asked.
"We're tryin' to film a movie here." Claude replied.
"A movie? With who?" Rampage asked.
"All of us! It's about me, you, and your friend!" Claude replied.
"Oh.. Right.." Rampage sighed.
"So, what are you gonna do?" Bailey asked.
"FILM! Alroight?" Claude yelled.
"No need to yell!" Rampage said to Claude.
A crocodile and a kangaroo walked towards the crow, before speaking.
"Well, what are you gonna do? Act like a director?" The crocodile asked.
"Oi! A bird tryin' tah film!? Hah! Isn't that funny, mate?" The kangaroo giggled.
"Guys, this isn't funny.." Claude spat.
"I want to be the director!" The kangaroo spat.
"No, I want to be the director. I want to be in a Godzilla movie or somethin'.." The crocodile growled.
"If you're a director, you know you can't act while directing.." Claude said to the crocodile.
"Oh, right.." The crocodile sighed.
"Thissss sssseemssss a little too funny for a crow to film. Right?" The snake asked.
"Pal, I'M the director." Claude spat.
"I'm sssorry. Did I sssay sssomething wrong?" The snake asked.
The rest of the animals laughed, before Claude backed up a little.
"Uh, guys? That isn't funny.." Claude said to the animals.
"Uh oh.. That can't be good.." Rampage gulped.
The crocodile then got a little closer to Claude, along with Bailey and Rampage. And once the crocodile tried to bite not Claude, but Bailey, Rampage then woke up, riding the back of the Jeep. Turns out that it was only just a dream.
"Oh man.. It was just a dream.." Rampage sighed.
"What did you dream of? The Rams winning the Super Bowl?" Bailey asked.
"No, not that.. I had a dream where you and I went on a jungle adventure, and Claude was a film director for a...movie he tried to film with us." Rampage spoke.
"Huh. Kind of a..weird dream.." Bailey said to Rampage.
Rampage and Bailey both parked onto the terracotta ground, and got out of the Jeep. They both saw two Crows, and one Kangaroo, hanging out.
"Huh.. This Kangaroo seems familiar.." Rampage said, taking a closer look.
But the Kangaroo was seen to be Barry. Barry 'Brooser' Cracker, the North Melbourne Kangaroos Mascot.
"Hey! Wait for us!" Bailey yelled, running towards the figures along with Rampage.
Bailey and Rampage both arrived near the three mascots. One crow was seen to be Claude, while another was seen to be Carla. The Kangaroo was also seen to be Barry, which Bailey and Rampage both recognized.
"Hey, Claude!" Bailey said to Claude, giving him a handshake.
Abby then arrived after getting out of her Jeep, running towards Bailey and Rampage.
"That's the Claude you remember?" Abby asked.
"Don't you remember Claude? That's the same crow you dropped off quite some time ago!" Bailey spoke to Abby.
"Oh, yeah! I do remember Claude!" Abby shook.
"And look! He's got a girlfriend!" Rampage shook, looking at Carla.
It was a female Crow, named Carla. Carla was Claude's girlfriend, and mascot of the Adelaide AFW team.
"Hey Carla! Nice to meet you!" Bailey said, giving Carla a handshake.
Rampage then grabbed a mini muffin out of his hoodie pocket, before giving it to Claude.
"I got your favorite kind of muffin!" Rampage said, giving Claude a blueberry muffin.
Claude then took the muffin, and consumed the treat before Abby shook in awe.
"A crow that eats muffins? That's a thing I've never seen!" Abby shook in awe.
"Yeah, and what's cool is that he can play footy!" Bailey said.
But Barry managed to kick Bailey, falling onto the ground.
"Hey! What was that for, Barry!?" Bailey snarled.
Abby and Rampage both laughed before Bailey got up, dusting his shorts.
"No wonder why Barry did that though.." Bailey groaned, dusting his shorts after the fall.
"At least this Roo has got some sweet moves.." Rampage replied.
"He's also a country boy too." Bailey said to Rampage.
"How did you know!?" Rampage asked.
Before Bailey spoke, Barry then took down Bailey with his powerful tail.
"Stop that!" Bailey growled.
Bailey got up, and dusted his shorts after the fall.
"Man, this roo's got a powerful tail.." Bailey sighed.
Barry giggled a little, before Abby spoke.
"Yep. A true country-roo." Abby laughed.
But before Bailey spoke again, another Jeep was seen, about to head toward the figures.
"Uh, that must be a new member of the team.." Rampage said.
"No, Rampage. IT'S GONNA HEAD TOWARDS US!" Bailey yelled.
Bailey and Rampage both ran, along with Abby and Barry, while Claude and Carla both flew, being chased down by a Jeep.
"Oh boy.. We have a problem.." Abby gulped.
Instead of the Jeep chasing Claude, the Jeep then chased Carla down. Barry then got onto the Jeep to stop it from chasing Carla. Carla then arrived at the top of the tree, losing the Jeep. Barry then lost his grip, fell down while the Jeep continued to look for Claude.
"Good news.. Carla and Barry are safe." Rampage sighed.
"But, where's Claude?" Bailey asked.
Claude came out of the bush, and saw Carla. Barry was hiding in another bush, just a few meters away from Claude.
"Good news. Claude's safe now.." Bailey sighed.
The poachers were on top of another tree, dropping the net onto the crow. Claude then struggled to escape from the net, but was pounced by two poachers.
"Alright, blackbird. We got you now." The first poacher said.
The poachers placed the netted crow onto the Jeep bed rack, closing the rack door. Claude got up, and shook in sadness. The Jeep then drove to the campsite, leaving Carla and Barry worried and sad at the same time.
"Or maybe not.." Bailey gulped.
"We must save him.." Abby said to Rampage.
"But, how?" Rampage asked.
"If they head to the campsite, we have to get there." Bailey replied.
Abby and her friends got into her Jeep, and all drove to the campsite, while Carla and Barry waited.
At the Campsite..
The poachers then placed the sleeping crow into a cage, while Abby and her friends hid into a box.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Rampage asked.
"Yeah, it might be.." Bailey replied.
The poachers are going to send Claude to Reno, for a show in the biggest little city of Nevada. Not just a show, but a reality TV show..
"So, they're going to send Claude to Reno for a random TV show. We must get him back to the airport, and take him back to Adelaide." Bailey said to Rampage.
"Reno? I haven't been into Reno before." Rampage shook.
But the flight had originally planned from Adelaide to Reno, but it is now Adelaide to Los Angeles.
"Wait. Did he say.. Los Angeles?" Abby asked.
"They have to redestinate the flight.." Rampage replied.
"Claude's goin' back to our hometown!" Bailey shook.
The two men then took the box inside, while the cage was next to it.
"That should do it. We need a reality TV show in Hollywood!" The man said.
"But, what about Reno?" The second man asked.
"There's no way a plane can get from Adelaide to Reno, so they had to plan the flight from here to Los Angeles." The first man replied.
"Oh.." The second man said.
The two men headed back outside, before the cargo van headed to Adelaide Airport.
"L.A? The flight is from here to Reno?" Rampage asked.
"This is a mission. We have to route him back to Australia in order to save his life. Otherwise, he'll end up in a TV show!" Bailey growled.
The van then headed to the Adelaide Airport, before the boxes were transferred inside the plane.
Adelaide Airport, Morning..
The cargo van transferred all boxes inside the plane, while the cage was next to the one box.
"Alright. Our mission is to save Claude, and take him back to Australia." Bailey said.
"Deal.." Rampage replied.
The plane then closed the door, before taking off. Once the plane took off, it started to head to the USA.
"It's heading to the USA. Now, once we get sent to the storage room, we have to get Claude out, and take him back to Adelaide." Abby said to Bailey.
"You got it." Bailey said.
Many hours later, the plane finally arrived at Los Angeles, before the cargo van started transferring boxes back inside.
"We're here. Back in my hometown.." Rampage cheered.
"I know we're back at SoCal. But we need to route Claude back to Adelaide." Abby said.
Once the van got all the boxes inside the van along with the cage, it drove to the storage room.
"Good. We're heading to the storage room.." Bailey said.
"But we don't have windows to find out we're going to the storage room.." Rampage shook.
"No worries. We'll get there.." Bailey said.
After the van arrived at the storage room, the men placed all the boxes onto the ground, organized. Along with the cage Claude was inside, the cage was next to the box Bailey and his friends were inside.
"Alright. Get out of the box.." Bailey said, getting out of the box.
Bailey, Abby, and Rampage both got out of the box, and saw Claude, still sleeping.
"Man, he's one sleepy crow.." Rampage said.
Bailey used his claw to unlock the cage, and picked Claude up.
"Alright. We need to keep an eye on the white car. The driver will be Max for today." Bailey said to Rampage.
"Alright.. Deal.." Rampage said, smiling.
Bailey and the two figures all took Claude outside, as the camera continued to record.
"What are these animals doing?" The man asked.
"There's just gonna take him to the vet, I suppose.." The second man replied.
"Yeah, let's pretend that they're taking a random bird to the vet.." The first man said.
The white car drove towards Bailey, Rampage, and Abby, along with Claude. Max then rolled the window down, seeing Bailey.
"Hey Bailey! What's with the new friend?" Max asked.
"No need for conversations.." Bailey said, placing Claude onto an empty hot tub.
Bailey and his friends got inside the car. But it wasn't just a car, a limo.
"So, how's your friend?" Abby asked.
"Good so far, Abby.." Max replied.
Max then readjusted the car mirror, and shook as he saw a crow, inside a limo.
"A crow in a car!?" Max shook.
"No need to panic, Max. We're on a mission to take him back to Adelaide." Bailey said to Max.
Max then calmed down, before heading to downtown Los Angeles.
