Balan Wonderworld: The Rusherz ACT
Act 8 Beauty and the Beast, Guardians and Beast
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a Lion being lived in a a far castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the Rusherz was sad, he couldn't bear anyone to see his face, he believed he was truly a beast . But then, one winter's night, an old beggar came to the stadium and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. She was surprise to hear him say yes...but was shocked when he said theses words.
?: Sorry about my appearance, I'll try to not let you see it.
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom the next spring. If he could learn to see the love the others show even though he looks like a terrifying creature by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain in true sorrow for all time. However, He already fell into despair and lost all hope a long time ago, for who could ever learn to love a beast?
Snow fell as Balan and Chief, both bundled up, walked through the forest that they were treading through for a few hours.
Chief: Brrrr, why are we starting in the winter.
Balan: This is the original story, getting lost in the woods till a beautiful palace-
Chief: Found it!
The two were standing in front of a large gate, looking through the gate the area was still springing and warm. Chief closed his eyes letting the warmth on his frosty face, letting himself open the gate and walked in. He let the warm air melt the frost on himself and the smell of the rose garden to sooth in.
?: What are you doing here?
Chief was returned to the present when he saw a shadow glaring at him. Balan has a protect hold on his shoulder as he had followed him in.
?: Oh dear gosh don't tell me your going to steal another piece of property, i already had to make a father and son keep a vow of silence of me-
Chief: WHAT! NO! NONONONONONONO! We're not here to steal anything, just to get away from the cold...Let's start over alright. My name is Chief and this is Balan.
Balan: Charmed to meet you sir.
The being eyes lighten a bit. Chief knew this had to be the character for the Beast. He was however, surprise when he saw who he was being played as...a familiar blue lion Rusher with red eyes staring at him, some parts of him had metal on him.
Beaumont: Beaumont...
?: Beaumont, what's going on?
Much more shock to Chief came when the person who was playing the role of Beauty...or at least a male version of the character, walked over.
Thor?: Who are these people?
Chief was left speechless, which was noticed by all three present.
Beaumont: Cosquin, these are Chief and Balan. They appeared to have gotten lost in the snow stor-
Chief eyes went up as he passed out, Balan in a panic catching him.
Balan: CHIEF?! CHIEF!?
Cosquin and Beaumont went over quickly.
Beaumont: What happened?
Cosquin: Is he alright?
Balan sighed.
Balan: I think his mind got overwhelm. You see, you look much like his friends back at his home. He has been through a lot recently. Do you-perhaps have a bedroom for him to rest.
Balan was hesitant on his question, wondering how this world's beast character would act.
Beaumont: Of course...i just can't let you two out in the cold, especially if your friend has been through so much.
Both Balan and Cosquin looked at him in surprise. Seeing how Cosquin acted they must of came when Cosquin was given to Beaumont. Balan picked Chief up and followed Beaumont and Cosquin into the palace.
Later in the castle...
Balan placed the wet rag on Chief's forehead, as Chief had not woken up yet. Balan waved his hand over Chief's chest, wanting to see how his heart was doing since it was a while since he check. He saw the cracks healing up well, but the missing part of his heart was slow on healing. He sighed as he waved it back into Chief, who moaned as he woke up. He turned to Balan, weakly smiling.
Chief: Never expect Beast and Thor playing those parts in this story. Sorry if i scared you Balan.
Balan warmly smiled.
Balan: It's alright, i do beleive walking in a cold wilderness for hours might have also been the case for your passing out.
Chief chuckled slightly, blushing a bit.
Chief: Are we-in the palace?
Balan: *Nods* Beaumont offered us a place to stay after you passed out.
There was a knock on the door, which open to revel what looked to be a robot version of Swoop, his teal eyes and light sky blue pupil spotting the two.
Swoop?: OH! Your awake!
Chief could feel a shiver down his spine looking at the eagle bot...he at least is glad that this own was more close to what Swoop looked like, not to mention the blooded eyes were not available.
Swoop?: Master was hoping you would join him and Cosquin for dinner?
Chief and Balan stared at him, before shaking their heads.
Balan: Thank you sir umm...
Fontanals: Fontanals, I'm the head of the servants of the castle.
A head poked in, Chief seeing that it was this world's version of Scavenger. Fontanals smiled at the Raven bot.
Fontanals: Meyere, you know of our new guest. These are Balan and Chief.
Meyere: Pleasure to meet you, I'm the maître d' of the castle.
Chief: Nice to meet you both and yes, we will join you all for dinner.
The two smiled as they lead the two to the dinning hall.
Later on...
Lance knew it would be a while till the climax, so he decided to have a word with Chief one on one while Balan was busy entertaining the characters. He had his chance, though it was a while. It was during the scenes near the end of winter, where the two characters were outside in the snow and Balan was occupied entertaining the guest. Chief was in the warm part of the place ground, walking in the rose garden when Lance appeared.
Chief: *Sighs* If your here to tempt Balan he's not here.
Lance: I am not here for Balan, I am here for you...It was a good idea for you to come here. I had always thought Balan would end up like me...then you showed up.
Chief eye raised at this.
Chief: I know...he's his own person.
Lance: I made sure he had.
That line made Chief's eyes widen.
Chief: YOU MADE HIM?
Lance: *Nods* Yes, to replace me, earths negativity was too much...so i succumbed to darkness.
Chief:...Why?
Lance actually flinched at that.
Chief: What made you like this?
Lance sighed.
Lance: I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear
Lance picked a black rose, looking it over.
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore
Chief watched Lance in concerned. Balan, who went to checked on Chief, actually heard Lance and hid behind the bushes.
I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight
Lance turned to Chief, forgotten longing in his eyes
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
Lance slowly began to vanish
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore
Chief was speechless.
Lance: *echo* Chief, you are Balan's only hope to live on.
With that Lance was gone, leaving behind Chief. He saw a red rose on the ground before picking it up. He closed his eyes and opened them to see his costume had changed into that of old armor, rose vines around them and a rose on the chest plate. Balan was about to go over to him when Beaumont appeared.
Beaumont: Chief, is everything alright?
Chief turned to Beaumont, him noticing his armor.
Beaumont: Where did the armor come from?
Chief: This, it fell of the bush.
Chief handed the rose to Beaumont, him nodding in gratitude.
Beaumont: Thank you.
Chief smiled, but then a question came to his head.
Chief: Beaumont. what happened to make you um...half metal half flesh?
Beaumont nodded in understanding.
Beaumont: I actually cursed my self.
Chief and secretly Balan eyes widen, he beckoned Cosquin over to here this.
Chief: W-WH-What...
Beaumont: A long time ago, a beggar came to me and offered a rose for shelter. i said of course and apologies for my appearance. She was shocked to hear that surprisingly, and to put the cherry on top she transformed into a enchantress after her stay. Imagine my surprise when i saw her. I immediately apologies to her for having to stay with a creature like me, to the point i wished to give her the rose back...turned out the rose was enchanted and as i was bashing myself and clutching the rose tightly, i accidentally cursed myself and my castle residents. The enchantress was horrified that i would do that to myself, let alone be able to curse myself. She felt sorrow at the situation...I told her this was just what i thought of myself. She said she had never seen a situation of this caliber, for you see, the enchantress was a being who job was to judge a person, have them go through a metamorphosis and learn form their mistakes to break the curse. For one to think so lowly...she told me that i have to see how special and loved i truly was despite my appearance. *chuckles pitifully* I told her it was impossible, i mean look at me, who could EVER LOVE ME? I have until the next spring tomorrow, who knows what might happen.
Cosquin silently gasped in sorrow at the tale, feeling sorry for the Lion's plight and the fact that his new friend had such low self-esteem. Balan heart-ached, he nevered heard this version of the story before. Chief looked at the rose in Beaumont hands.
Chief: That's the rose isn't it?
Beaumont nodded, confirming the flower with the gleam on it's remaining petals.
Beaumont: Yes, it is. I'm running out of time to save my friends...
Cosquin face fell into determination as he went off, Balan following him.
Cosquin's old house...
Cosquin threw object after object looking for something, Balan ducking at the incoming items.
Balan: Cosquin, my friend, what are we doing here?
Cosquin: Looking for something. THERE!
Cosquin lifted the mirror, eyes sparked with joy. Balan recognized that mirror for the many interpretations of this story, but this was a first that the character playing beauty had it.
Balan: A mirror?
Cosquin nodded.
Cosquin: Mirror, show me who the 'BEAST' really is.
The mirror shifted reveling Beaumont, but he was still the same without the metal around him too.
Cosquin: There! PROOF! Proof that Beaumont is not a freak!
Balan smiled at the idea.
Balan: Where did you get this?
Cosquin: My father, he was a traveler for our family. After my mother died he stayed here and became a mapper until he died from an illness during the winter last year before all this. He collected mythical items, this mirror included. This mirror shows the users a person's true form. This proves that Beaumont is fine just the way he is!
Cosquin looked hopeful at the thought of freeing Beaumont.
Cosquin: You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
Beaumont is also seen looking at the sky in sorrow.
Voice: You don't even know how to please
Beaumont: You say a lot but you're unaware how to leave
Both start to slowly walk in there respect location
Cosquin: My darling lives in a world that is not mine
Beaumont: An old child misunderstood out of time
Cosquin: Timeless is the creature who is wise
Beaumont: And timeless is the prisoner in disguise
Chief sees Beaumont in sorrow, going over and offering a comforting hand.
Cosquin: Oh who is the beauty who the beast
Beaumont: Would you die of grieving when I leave
Cosquin: Two children too blind to see
Beaumont: I would fall in your shadow I believe
A man is seen watching Cosquin and Balan from outside the house.
voice: My love is a man who's not been tamed
Beaumont: Oh my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
Cosquin and Beaumont: We come from difference worlds we are the same my love
Cosquin: I never doubted your beauty I've changed
Balan: I never doubted your beauty I've changed
Cosquin turned to Balan who nodded in understanding. Meanwhile Chief gave a comforting smile to try and cheer us Beaumont.
Beaumont: Changed who is the beauty
Cosquin: Where is my beast (Balan: my love)
Beaumont: There is no beauty
Cosquin: Without my beast (Chief: my love)
Chief and Balan see that they have helped a little with their respected characters.
Chief: Who is the beauty
Who my love
Balan: Ah
Oh la bete la bete
Both Beaumont and Cosquin looks up at the sky.
Beaumont: Where is my beast
Balan and Chief: My beauty my beauty
My beautiful beautiful beautiful
Cosquin: *looking at the mirror* Beautiful beast
Cosquin went to the door...only to find it unable to open. Anger came to his face as he knew who it was.
Cosquin: Perducas LET US OUT!
Balan eyes widen as he looked through the hole in the wall, seeing the being that he was sure he and Chief would have to fight.
Perducas: NEVER. Finally, I now have a prize worthy of getting.
They heard the sounds of hoofs fading, Cosquin anger rose.
Cosquin: I SWEAR IF YOU LAY A HAND ON HIM-
Balan quickly went back, before he started to ram at the door. He felt his blood boil, Chief was still there...he would not let HIM DIE.
Back at the Palace...
The storm clouds formed around the sky. Beaumont, Chief, Fontanals, and Meyere saw the flames, pitch forks, and some even muskets.
Chief: Oh great, the crazy mobs here.
Fontanals: And at a terrible time.
The four had been looking for Balan and Cosquin for a while. Chief snarled as he raised his hand in anger and to the three's astonishment, vines sprout into a wall blocking the army. The vines soon grew thorns that pricked the army back, however Perducas started to climb the wall.
Chief: This should give us some time to find Balan and Cosquin and get out of-wait, Meyere...head out to town and see if they are there, maybe they went to find something to help us break this curse.
Meyere nodded before he jumped in the air and flew off. Beaumont face was filled with worry for his friend.
Beaumont: Please...be alright.
With Balan and Cosquin...
Balan shoulder was hurting as he kept on banging on the door as breaks began to form on it. His yellow eyes glowing in determination as with a shout, he rammed the door down and he fell to the wet rainy ground below panting. He grabbed his shoulder, feeling the bruising that was pulsing as Cosquin went over to check on him still holding the mirror.
Cosquin: Balan! Are you al-
Balan: I-I'm fine, but we must hurry back to the palace.
The two quickly ran to the stables looking for a horse, finding one that was left alone. Balan jumped on pulling Cosquin up as they rode off. The rainstorm was almost blinding them a little but Balan knew the route by heart from hearing the tale. He saw Meyere flying over them, pointing him to Cosquin.
Cosquin: Meyere!
Meyere saw them and flew down, flying over them.
Meyere: WHAT HAPPENED!?
Cosquin: I went to get something to help Beaumont! To break the curse...me and Balan heard everything.
Meyere gave him a small smile, but it fell when he remember what he needed to do.
Meyere: THE PALACE IS BEING ATTACKED!
Balan: THEN WE MUST MAKE HAST! HE-YA!
With a strong pat, the horse speed up to the place.
At the Palace...
Chief glared at the man who was playing the titular villain, Perducas, as he jumped onto the rose garden floor. Beaumont was right next to him as Fontanals and the rest of the bot servants fought off the army, which was being dispersed as they were fighting.
Perducas: SO, YOUR the 'BEAST'...your a lion of pete sake of COURSE YOUR A BEAST! A blue one i be it metal in some places but a worthy prize none the less.
Chief: *Shock and horror* You going to taxidermy HIM?!
This was NOT what Chief expected the villain wanting to do...now Chief was getting shivers thinking about what the villains in the later adaptions of this tale were going to do with the Beast if they had won.
Chief: *Disgusted* Oh that is gross. I am not going to look at those to villains the same way after that, this just made them even worse.
Perducas: Obviously you have no taste in the art of the hunter.
Chief: And OBVIOUSLY you don't know how disturbing it is killing and taxaderming a sentient being.
Beaumont: You are not welcomed here fiend, leave now.
Perducas just laughed at Beaumont demand.
Perducas: Your not my king.
Beaumont: Your right...I'm NOT YET YOUR KING.
Perducas eyes widen at that as he stepped back.
Perducas: H-Hold on...y-your-YOUR THE PRINCE!?
Beaumont: Surprise...you didn't expect the royal family to be lions?
Perducas stared...then he gained a manic grin on his face.
Chief: Oh I think that revaluation made the situation worse.
Perducas: ROYALTY! OH YOU WILL BE A LARGE PRIZE ON MY MANTEL!
Perducas lunged at Beaumont, before being intercepted by Chief, a rose thorn weapon in his hand.
Chief: I swear you will NOT BE KILLING HIM TODAY!
Those eyes, he was determined to keep his friends safe and find the others...that determination helped him in the past before.
1942,
Chief was making sure all was right. Area safe, fans safe. The next season might be small on man power, but that power was for a GOOD cause. That man power was going to be saving lives in those other countries. The Rusherz wanted to do what they can to help, but fighting in the war was not an option. Their power against humans would be catastrophic, these humans were not Anticorians...they would be killed in an instant.
Chief: -sighs- Calm yourself Chief, you need to be calm for your team and fans.
Chief was placing war bond ads in various locations of the stadium when-
?: CHIEF!
Chief turned and smiled to see Beast running over to him.
Chief: Beast! How have you been? Your team holding up well?
Beast gave a small smiled.
Beast: As well as we have been during war...You?
Chief: Doing my part the best i can. How is Rampage holding up?
The Rams actually suspended the team because of the war, Rampage actually helping at the military bases in Washington during this.
Beast: *Smiles* He's doing well, he is hoping to come see you soon
Chief was adamant to keep that smile on Beast's face, as well as the others, on their faces during this even difficult time.
Present...
Chief screamed as he tackled Perducas, the two fist fighting eachother. Perducas took out a small knife as slashed the gauze off Chief's head, the wound showing. Chief answer was Beaumont lifting Perducas into the air and ramming his head onto the ground, making him scream in anger.
Perducas: YOU LITTLE-
Beaumont: WHOSE THE REAL MONSTER NOW!
Perducas, in anger, stabbed Beaumont causing him to fall grabbing his wound in pain. Chief punched Perducas for that.
Chief: MURDERER!
The next thing Chief knew, the sounds of hoofs approaching and the next over the wall jumping riding a horse was Balan and Cosquin with Fontanals and Meyere flying beside them. The Balan screamed a battle cry as he landed the horse RIGHT ON PERDUCAS.
Balan: CHIEF!
Chief looked up in relief seeing Balan. He saw that Perducas was no longer moving, seeing that Balan had made sure Perducas would harm ANYONE again. Chief ran over and hugged Balan.
Chief: Where in the world did you go?
Balan: Finding the answer...
Cosquin: BEAUMONT!
The two turned to See Cosquin wan kneeling next to Beaumont, Meyere and Fontanals trying their best to stop the wound on their master.
Meyere: Master Beaumont please hold on!
Balan and Chief slowly went over, worry on their faces. Cosquin clutched the mirror hard in his hand.
Fontanals: Please Master Beaumont, keep your eyes open.
Beaumont gave a weak smile.
Beaumont: H-heh...even with this ugly mark you two still care about me...a frea-
Cosquin felt his tears fall.
Cosquin: MirrorshowsBeamount'stureform!
The mirror answered, showing Beaumont without the metal on him. The lion's eyes widen seeing this.
Beaumont: I-I-Im-Im-Impossible...a-am i re-really-
Cosquin nodded fast.
Cosquin: Yes, you perfect just the way you are.
Fontanals and Meyere smiled seeing the truth being shown to their friend. Beaumont's eyes watered.
Beaumont: I-*There was a crack of light from one of the metal plates* I'm-*another* I'm-
Beaumont let his tears fall and in a rapid pace the rest of the metal bursted off him, the servant including Fontanals and Meyere robotic plates fell reveling their flesh skin. Beaumont patched metal fell off as he sobbed in joy, the rain stopping and the sun rising breaking the storm clouds. Beaumont got up slowly, the wound gone, as he looked over himself. Cosquin tackled him into a hug as well as Fontanals and Meyere who joined them. Balan and Chief had tears of joy in their eyes.
Beaumont: I'm fine the way i am.
Chief smiled as the four cheered on the breaking of the curse and Beaumont self-esteem increased. From afar, Lance smiled at this...Chief might be able to save Balan yet.
With the Prince's return, he rose to his families throne and became king to the kingdom not fearing how his appearance was different. Cosquin was his closes confidant as stood by his side after breaking the curse. Meyere and Fontanals were happy to see their Master finally made a friend, Cosquin was happy to have a family once again too. And Beaumont, he found his happiness being himself.
HOK...
Beast: That was-not what i expect but he seems to be doing well.
Beast, Scavenger, Swoop and Thor arrived after the dream. Seeing the group of people in the HOK left them confused.
Thor: Umm...Who are you people?
Cass Millgan eyes widen in joy at another feline as she giggled skipping to him and petting his mane, Beast chuckling as he patted her head.
Thor: Why on earth did I have my father's name?
Bruce Stone: Perhaps a memory of him slipped in there. That's the power of Wonderworld, it can take a friend's memory and use it to help the inhabitant.
Scavenger: Interesting.
Fang: *Joins Beast* Question, what IS an inhabitant?
Jose Gallard: An inhabitant is a person who has the power to create a WORLD in Wonderworld, a world is based on a Inhabitant's dreams, desires, wishes, and hopes.
Eis Glover: There are worlds that young children create, some based on fairy tales.
Swoop: But...how long will these fairy tales remain in the realms if Wonderworld? As much as Fantasy is wonderful, sometimes it has a way to unbalance reality as reality can unbalance fantasy. A balance in both worlds with both traits is needed...so what will happen that comes to our world. Those negative and malice came into the others worlds-
Lucy Wong: Imagine if the Negatis entered our world...
K-9: Imagine if something WORSE got out...
It was silent for a while.
Blow-Torch: We need to get Liberty.
Scavenger: Right Uhh...ABOUT THAT AND FREEFALL.
Meanwhile... Wonderland Train...
Balan:-I am very happy you stood your ground but please don't scare me like that, i do the surprises here.
Chief chuckled.
Chief: Don't worry, what happened was unexpected so I'm not planning on doing that again.
Balan nodded with a grin, Chief stretching.
Chief: SO, what's the next story.
Balan: Sleeping Beauty.
It was silent for a moment.
Chief: FREEFALL IS THAT SITUATION AGAIN!?
Balan: *Confused* Pardon?
Chief groaned.
Chief: This has happened before, so i thin I know who our sleeping character is going to be AND who the one to wake him up is.
