Balan Wonderworld: The Rusherz ACT
Act Three: Hansel and Gretel, Browns and Bengals
A book opened up for all to see, pictures being shown.
HANSEL! GRETEL!
The first scene being the woodcutter sobbed in his hands. The next scene shown him being comforted by what looked like to be K-9 and Fang, dress in their respected teams colors. The scene change to the woodcutter explaining what was going on, before the two nodded in determination. The next scene showed the two Rusherz in the forest searching the witch watching from afar.
Balan landed, guiding Chief to the forest floor gently. The door behind them around he saw the forest was a vibrate green than normally, it was almost like the area was lit up from it even though the sun was being covered by the leaves swaying.
Chief: Whoa... This is nice. Where are we?
Balan: I'll be honest. These are stories that mirror the hearts of ones imagination, those being recent inhabitants that come here.
Chief: Fans?
Balan: Yes, for example. This world for one belonged to a small child who always thought that the Browns and Bengals Rusher would have been the rescuers searching for children,
Chief nodded as he understood, children had always have a huge imagination with the world. and with the Rusherz being a part of their growing up, it would be no surprise that they would insert the Rusherz to the stories they hear sometimes.
Chief: Wait, so...where are we then?
Balan: I do believe we are in the story "Hansel and Gretel".
Chief: Hansel and Gretel? I saw a poster of that back at the theater with different characters, so does that mean my frie-
?: HANSEL!
?: GRETEL!
The two stopped and turned from their place to see the two Rusherz walking around. They were wearing their team colors, but unlike the normal outfits they were in they were in that matched the style and genre they were in. With a mix of both medieval and Cirque du Soleil, the two stopped when they saw Balan and Chief.
Chief: K-9? Fang? What are you doing here?
The two backed a bit, eyeing Chief, who mentally facepalm.
Chief: You are not them, why did i assume you were them?
The two Rusherz turned to eachother.
Fang?: Who are these two?
K-9?: I don't know, think we should question them?
Balan: Pardon me gentlemen, but i do believe we need to introduction ourselves. I am Balan, this here is Chief.
Chief waved nervously with a smile.
Chief: H-Hello, sorry for the confusion there.
They looked at eachother, then nodded.
Karniver: Well, I'm Karniver, and this is Banga.
Banga waved with a smile at them.
Banga: Pardon me for asking, but what brings you to this neck of th4 woods?
Chief was hesitant, sweating a bit, luckily Balan took the reigns.
Balan: My friend Chief here has gone through some tough times, so I thought a walk in the woods would calm his senses.
The two gave sympathetic looks of understanding.
Karniver: We know the feeling, our town is going through some tough times too. Our friend is having the worst though...his EX step wife secretly took his children to the woods and left them there.
Banga: We actually are looking for them...maybe you have seen them?
Chief gave a thought, then snap his fingers. He knew how this story went, Swoop had always prepared for a story to read to the children at the hospital housing place for children recovering from cancer and/or Leukemia, so he knew each tale by heart thanks to him.
Chief: Hey, Balan. There was a clearing not to far form here. Maybe we can see if we can find any clues there.
Balan: *Jovial* WONDERFUL IDEA CHIEF!
Chief blushed a bit at the compliment.
Karniver: Well, alright. This would be a great help and relief for us. We have been searching for hours.
With that the team began to walk to the locations. It was soon becoming obvious as they walked that Chief was figiting with his hands as they walked.
Banga: Hey, you doing alright. Your friend did say you were going through some hard times.
Chief looked over at him and sighed.
Chief: Y-yeah, i just-where i work at, I don't feel as...appreciated as before. Things just got...dicey. This have been becoming tiresome and headache medication isn't worki-EEP!
Chief found himself in Balan's arms as the Maestro patted his head.
Balan: Maybe you need to have a new medication? You boys have any ideas.
Banga chuckled as Karniver nodded, the latter tapping foot making a beat. The sound of music began to play and Balan used his magic to create a spotlight on them.
Karniver and Banga:*Started dancing* Well

Chief foot tap as he followed the beat...until Balan brought him over with them, the two Rusherz smiling as Balan twirled him a bit.
Balan: Know this song?
Chief: 1989, McGuire Sisters..one of the greatest hits.
Balan: Well then-
Balan: Now sugartime (Chief: *Hesitant* sugartime)
Is anytime that you're near (Chief: *Hesitance fading a bit* that you're near)
Karniver and Banga: 'Cause you're so dear
Balan: So don't you roam (Chief: *Bit cheerful* don't roam)

All four: And live in a heaven of love

All (Balan:all (Karniver: all) (Banga: all))
All four: The time

Sugartime
Sugartime
With that they made it to the clearing and froze. In front of them was the clearing, where a house of sweets sat.
Karniver: Huh, this is new.
Chief: Red flag...RED FLAG.
Balan: Don't worry, I got this.
Balan snapped his fingers as his body morphed in that of a human, the only thing remaining was the outfit. Chief mouth gaped but he looked at himself and-screamed. His outfit was still the same but now had a gingerbread outfit and face make up on him. He turned to Balan shaking him.
Chief: WHAT DID YOU DO!?
Balan laughed.
Balan: I'm a morpher, this was given to me by...an old friend who is no longer with us. You however, are where an ability costume.
Chief: Alright...why?
Banga: Yeah why is he dressed like a gingerbread man?
Balan: Chief, stay still as a stone.
He nodded and when he clicked his feet together, his body turned to gingerbread.
Chief: What the-?!
Balan: Element of surprise! You can hide in sight with the scene while we three go see what is going on.
Balan winked at Chief, who got the idea that was going through his brain. Chief nodded as he quickly went to the fence and did the same thing, his eyes turning to the three and winked. Balan fixed his hat as he, Karniver and Banga went down the pathway to the front of the house. Karniver knocked on the door, it was a minute until an old lady open the door.
Old lady: Why hello dearies, how can i help you?
Karniver: Pardon us Mame, have you seen two children pass by here?
Chief eyed over to the group, watching the conversation.
Old Lady: Children you say...I'm sorry dearie but i haven't-
Banga nose sniffed the air.
Banga: Are you cooking something?
Old Lady: Why yes i am!
Banga: Um...and, is someone else in there?
Old lady: Why yes, my granddaughter!
Karniver looked at Banga, knowing full well what he was sensing.
Karniver: May we see her?
The lady was hesitant at that. Balan was secretly smiling at how well the two were playing their cards, as well as that Chief was watching this.
Old Lady: She's a bit ill to-
A scream interrupted them as two children ran out and run into the Rusher, Balan stepping to the side. Chief eyes widen as he saw two children who looked very much like Troy and his sister.
Gretel: OUT AT LAST!
Banga: There you two are! What are you doing here?!
Hansel: What are we doing-we got lost and this lady tricked us into coming in and then EAT US!
Karniver: Oh well thank goodness we- *Horror* EAT YOU HOLD ON WHATWITHTHEEATINGOFCHILDREN!?
Banga: LADY WHAT THE HEY!?
The old Lady growled, now showing her dark blood red eyes.
Balan: Got you Negati-
The lady roared as she started to pulse dark energy as she started to grow large. Hansel, Gretel, Karniver, Banga, Chief (who was still hidden in plan site), and even Balan was staring in shock as she transformed into what looked to be a combination between a cat and toad.
Chief: O-kay...she turned into a chimera, well she's going to be arrested for that.
Bangs: WHAT THE HEY IS THAT THING!
Chief decided NOW was a good time to fight as he quickly went behind the chimera and tackled it, stunning it on the ground.
Chief: GUYS RUN!
Karniver: Alright just, BE CAREFUL!
The two Rusherz grabbed the kids hands and run off...except Balan who was stunned.
Balan: W-What the-CHIEF!
Chief was thrown to the ground, landing on a large gumdrop. Balan took a stance and changed back to his normal form, if now was a good time for a good ol Balan's Bout this was it. He flew up as the creature was about to strike Chief, but it claw was kicked away by Balan. It screeched in pain as Balan went to Chief.
Chief: *shakes his head* Ouch...that hurt..Nice kick by the way. You watch football?
Balan: My dear Rusher I've seen everything of entertainment and creation.
The chimera glared at them in anger. Balan ushered Chief to click the heals of his shoes, resulting in skate wheels to appear.
Balan: SKATE BOI! SKATE WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT!
With that the two disperse in opposite ways as the Chimera attempted to attack them. Chief looked down quickly to see he was in the air gliding on frosting that was red, cherry flavor he presumed. Chief thoughts wondered off as he skated...
Years ago, 1993 season...
Chief was walking around the stadium of the Gaints/Jets. He was looking around till he stopped and smelled something in the air.
Liberty's voice: Nice of them to give us this, looks really good.
Soar's voice: Yeah...think the others would like this-
Chief went to the door where the voices were coming from and opened it...eyes widening as he saw a cherry pie sitting on a table. Liberty and Soar saw him stare at the pie.
Liberty: Oh Chief, what brings you here?
Chief: Paper work from the commissioner...is that cherry?
The two Big apple Rusherz looked at the pie, and nodded. Chief's stomach growled, causing him to blush a bit.
Chief: Eheheh, kinda missed breakfast...There was a bit of snow trouble at the stadium.
Liberty: Chief you should have called us over.
Chief: I-I know but-it's just snow...
Soar: So, even if it's just small you can still call us for help with stuff like that.
Liberty went to a cuburet and got a plate out. He took a piece of pie and handed it to Chief.
Liberty: I'm pretty sure you missing breakfast and seeing your favorite flavor in front of you isn't helping.
Chief smiled as he took a bite, a huge grin on his face.
Present...
Chief felt a tear fall as his heart warmed up a bit. It was then he got an idea.
Chief: BALAN! DISTRACT IT!
Balan nodded and with a wave multiple clones of him appeared flying around the Chimera, Balan sending a roundhouse kick to it. Chief skated over, sliding to the side sending waves of frosting into the eyes. The chimera went up and the two saw on it's chest a weird crystal thing on the chest.
Balan: Chief, you see that crystal!
Chief: Yeah! Why!?
Balan: We need to Tackle that thing!
Chief: On that big thing!? No way your doing that solo bud!
Chief skated to him as Balan caught him, with that the two lunged themselves into the crystal smashing it. The chimera screeched as it crumbled to the ground in dark dust. The area went back to normal as Balan landed, Chief going to the ground and sighing.
Chief: NI-Nice tackle..
Balan: Nothing like the good ol Balan Bouts to get the job done.
Balan eyes widen waving his hand to check Chief heart...it was still bad, but it was on the med as a few cracks had closed a bit, the largest one missing looked to be healing even if it was little.
Balan: Look at that, your heart has healed a little.
Chief: Y-Yeah, a little memory come in...cherries..
Balan eye rose at that.
Chief: Cherry is my favorite flavor. Liberty and Soar were given a pie the day there was a huge snow storm in Washington. I went early to help and missed breakfast, so Liberty and Soar gave me a piece. I made sure to tell the others if I need any help with anything...
Balan placed a hand on his shoulder, a gentle smile on his face as the two walked away from the clearing.
The book returned showing the woodcutter getting up seeing his two children and the Rusherz return safe and sound. The children showed their father the jewels and gold they manage to grabbed before the witch turned and the Rusherz arrived. The woodcutter hugged his children and the Rusherz crying tears of joy; Balan and Chief watching from behind a bush before walking away...
K-9 woke up, feeling tears fall from his face.
K-9: Wh-What is this?
?: K-9?
K-9 looked from his bed to see Fang at the doorway, tears falling from his face as well.
Fang: Did-did you have a dream about-
K-9: Hansel and Gretel, with us and -Chief...
Fang: He hasn't returned yet...do you think he is alright?
K-9 sighed as he got out of bed walking over.
K-9: The others have been busy talking with the teams and commissioner about the recent events, Chief probably is staying at a hotel for a break from the whole thing but-
There was no way that dream was a coincidence...but who was that with Chief?
Back at wonderland...
Chief sat on the set of the train that appeared after they left the world. Chief watch the beautiful scene went by.
Balan: You alright?
Chief turned to Balan and nodded. Dispite knowing him for a little while, Chief was already befriending this Maestro.
Chief: Yeah...I will be. Thank you, Balan. So, where to next?
Balan smiled as he pointed to the platform where the next door was...Rapunzel.
