Hello! I am back with another story! Please note I don't own NFL Rush Zone. I only own my OC's Butch, Juniper, Miki, and all of my Rusher OC's. And note that "We are One" belongs to Angélique Kidjo, and The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. Enjoy!
Past..
It was a slightly windy day in Baltimore, as the sun was up. Scavenger and Midnight were ready for the newest member of the Rusher Family. One of the Rusherz were at the HOK, preparing for the Ravens' ceremony.
"Well, who's ready for the new Rusher to arrive?" Steed asked.
"We are!" Peck cheered.
Peck and Lotus were in a relationship for years. Claw, Spot, Sonar, Steed, Peck, Swoop, and Grizzly were also in a relationship with their girlfriends for years. Once all of the Rusherz were ready, they went out the door.
"I'm really excited for the new Rusher to arrive. You?" Lasso asked.
"Yeah, I really knew the newest Rusher would be so cute!" Blowtorch responded.
Scavenger and Midnight were in the hospital, awaiting their new Rusher in the family.
"Should we go to the hospital? I've got a call from Scavenger saying that he needs us.." Freefall asked.
"We'll be able to go." Talon replied.
All Rusherz used their teleporters to teleport to the hospital, while Scavenger and Midnight are still there.
Meanwhile at the Hospital..
Scavenger and Midnight were at the Hospital room, while she gently held her newborn daughter in her arms. The doctor went inside the room and spoke to Scavenger.
"Mr. Scavenger.. Your friends want to see you.." The doctor spoke.
The doctor opened the door, and Scavenger saw some Rusherz coming inside the room. The Rusherz were left in shock and happiness at the same time when they first came inside.
"Guys, you are here just in time. We would like you to meet our daughter.." Midnight cooed.
Midnight and Scavenger revealed their newborn daughter as the Rusherz were left in awe.
"That is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.." Talon cooed.
"I-I.. I can't believe how cute she is.." Stallion gasped.
"Her name is Juniper.." Scavenger said, smiling.
"Hello, Juniper.." Freefall cooed.
Juniper sneezed, as Freefall spoke.
"Bless you!" Freefall spoke, smiling.
Juniper then cooed as Skyla spoke.
"Welcome to the world, Juniper.." Skyla cooed.
Juniper is the newest member of the Rusher family, as all Rusherz were left in happiness. Scavenger and Midnight are now the proud parents as Juniper arrived to the world..
Present day..
Juniper was running around, playing before Scavenger catches her in his arms. She giggles continuously as Scavenger catches her before coming near the edge.
"Where do you think you're goin' in a hurry?" Scavenger asked, laughing.
"Father! Let go!" Juniper growled, wriggling in Scavenger's grasp as he moves her to safety.
"I just want you to be more careful.." Scavenger said to Juniper.
Juniper tries catching a butterfly, until Scavenger gently catches her.
"Are you listening? While you're on a flying adventure, accidents can happen. You can get hurt, or even lost.." Scavenger informed his daughter.
"Hurt, or even lost.." Juniper sighed.
"And remember, I want you to stay in sight of our home in Baltimore.." Scavenger said.
"Yeah, yeah, I know.. Can I go now?" Juniper asked, impatiently.
Midnight and Hank came towards Scavenger before speaking.
"Mind your father, Juniper.." Midnight replied.
"Hmm.. Very funny.." Scavenger laughed.
"Now, stay away from the...uh.. Forest thing!" Hank stammered.
"Forest thing? What's the forest thing about?" Midnight asked.
"It's about when the.. Scorpion Wolf hybrids take over now.." Scavenger replied to Hank.
"Oh, right.. Also, Juniper. Stay away from the Forest.. Wolf Scorpions! Or.. Rouges!" Hank said.
"Hank's right, Juniper. Stay away from the Scorwolf Forests.." Scavenger said to Juniper.
"How come?" Juniper asked.
"Never mind.. Just fly along now.." Scavenger replied.
Juniper then flew away before Scavenger spoke again.
"And stay on the path I made for you!" Scavenger shouted.
"Who does this remind you of?" Midnight asked.
"Who?" Scavenger spoke.
"Just like we are young back then.." Midnight chuckled.
Midnight then tackled Scavenger, remembering the dangers then put themselves into when they're young.
"The dangers we put ourselves into when we're young?" Scavenger shook.
Midnight got up and spoke to Scavenger.
"She'll be fine.." Midnight said to Scavenger.
Later..
Ozzy and Wolfe were walking around, talking.
"Morning, Ocelot Captain, this is the wolf speaking. We are now arriving at the pond!" Wolfe said.
"I want you to keep a close eye on Juniper.." Ozzy replied.
"That's what Scavenger told us to do.." Wolfe responded.
"Danger can be lurking behind every rock, Wolfe.." Ozzy said to Wolfe.
"We need to keep an eye on Juniper. She could be in danger!" Wolfe shrieked.
"Calm down, Wolfe.. She'll be fine, as long as we supervise her.." Ozzy responded.
Juniper was busy chasing a butterfly, while the bug flew away.
"Hey! Come back! I just wanna play!" Juniper growled, landing onto her feet.
But the land has caught her attention, as she spoke.
"The Raven has found a special place.." Juniper growled, smirking.
With a rustle of grass, Wolfe and Ozzy popped up, leaving the Wolf and the Ocelot, and the Raven screaming.
"EEEEEEEEK!" Wolfe, Ozzy, and Juniper all screamed in fear.
Juniper fell onto the pond, leaving Wolfe in shock.
"Don't worry! Super Wolfe is here to save you!" Wolfe shrieked.
Wolfe jumped into the pond, looking for Juniper while swimming underwater. Luckily, Juniper got out before Wolfe swam underwater.
"Good news, Wolfe! Juniper got out of the pond.." Ozzy said to Wolfe.
Wolfe got out of the pond and spoke.
"Yay! She's alright!" Wolfe cheered.
"Let's make sure she's intact.." Ozzy said, checking on Juniper.
The good news is that Juniper is not hurt at all. Wolfe and Ozzy would be shocked if they had lost Juniper.
"Now, Juniper. It's not alright to fly away alone. It might be dangerous!" Wolfe informed Juniper.
"When you become an adolescent Rusher, you can go explore on your own.." Ozzy replied to Juniper.
"Let's get you something to eat! Plants!" Wolfe cheered.
"Wolfe, why would Juniper eat plants? How about seafood?" Ozzy asked.
"Salad!" Wolfe said.
Ozzy and Juniper both glared at Wolfe.
"What?" Wolfe asked.
Ozzy and Wolfe both argued when Juniper walked out. As she continued to walk, she tripped onto a small log, tumbling off, bowling into a strange Rusher.
"Ow! What was that for!?" The Rusher growled.
Juniper backed away as the Rusher spoke. But then caught her attention as it was just a Rusher. It was an Eagle Rusher, just like Swoop, or even Skyla..
"Who are you, Raven!?" The Eagle asked.
"My Dad said never talk to Wolf Scorpions!" Juniper growled.
"Wolf Scorpions? There aren't any Wolf Scorpion hybrids.." The Eagle huffed.
"So, how did you get here?" Juniper asked.
"Well, my father said that I can explore." The Eagle replied.
"Well, my Dad said I can go exploring, as long I get supervised.." Juniper replied.
"Hey, wanna face the fear!? I'm a brave Eagle that CAN face fear!" The Eagle asked.
"Really? That's a great idea!" Juniper replied in awe.
The Eagle Rusher and Juniper flew across as Wolfe and Ozzy continued to argue. Once they landed, they looked at the sign.
"No Rusherz allowed.." The Eagle growled.
"Well,I can face the fear!" Juniper cheered.
"I'll show you!" The Eagle said, running onto a log.
There was a log across the mucky pond, after the Eagle Rusher ran onto it.
"You try!" He said before Juniper ran onto the log.
Juniper ran on top of the log, as they both cheered.
"That was a nice one!" The Eagle said.
A bridge was there, before both figures ran onto the wooden crossway.
"We're ready for the biggest challenge.." The Eagle growled.
The Eagle and Juniper as they both ran on top of the bridge, an alligator jumped, crunching onto a piece of wood that fell.
"Hurry! Run!" The Eagle shouted.
The Rusher and Juniper both ran before entering land before alligator heads popped out of the mucky water. The alligator jumped out of the water, growling.
"Hurry! This way!" Juniper screamed.
Juniper and the Rusher both ran as both alligators continued to chase them. Once both Rusherz jumped onto a hill, the alligators growled.
"Hah! Take that, gators!" Juniper laughed.
"Did you see that? The alligators were so mean, they went RARARARAAWW!" The Eagle responded.
Miki then crouched in the grass below some distance away, growling.
"You are pretty brave.. The name's Butch.. What's your name?" Butch asked.
But instead of a normal answer, it was more of a slightly flirty answer for Butch.
"My name's Juniper.." Juniper replied, in a flirty tone.
Juniper bats Butch's helmet, shouting "Tag, your it!".
"Tag!" Juniper shouted.
"Tag! You're it!" Butch laughed.
But instead of chasing, Miki jumps in front of Butch.
"I told you to stay away from our AREA!" Miki roared.
"Uh, Hi.. Miss.." Butch stammered.
"Hello, Miki.." Juniper snarled.
"Brave, huh?" Miki growled.
"Wanna hear my Raven screech?" Juniper growled.
"Hah! Your screech will be too weak.." Miki laughed.
Juniper did her "Raven Screech", but not that Raven Screech she tried to do. Scavenger then did his screech, landing onto the ground, along with Midnight as Hank ran towards her. Swoop and Skyla also landed onto the ground as they all glared at Miki.
"Scavenger.." Miki growled.
"Miki.." Scavenger snarled.
Wolfe and Ozzy arrive along with Luka and Swift.
"Miki.." Swift growled.
"Crikey.. That's the same hybrid that attacked Peck!" Luka shook.
"Wolfe, Ozzy. We all get it. NOW GET OUTTA OUR FOREST!" Ozzy roared.
"Your FOREST!?" Miki snarled as Ozzy leaped backwards over Wolfe in fear.
"The Scorwolf's forest belongs to me now.."
"We've banished you from your planet back then after you attacked Peck." Swoop snarled.
Miki's pups came towards the Rusherz, and growled in anger.
"Koko, Mila, get back in the den.." Miki said, smiling.
Koko and Mila went back into the den before Scavenger shouted at her.
"Now, you.. GET OUT!" Scavenger shouted.
"You haven't seen my pups yet. Koko is my son, and Mila is my daughter.. My pups we be leaders of the Scorwolf forest in the future.." Miki snarled.
"You know the penalty for returning to our forest of Baltimore.." Midnight responded.
"Now, get out of our forest, and return to your.. Scorwolf forest.. We are finished here.." Scavenger said to Miki.
Miki then walked away, as Swoop, Skyla, and Butch all flew away, while Wolfe, Ozzy, Luka, and Swift all arrived back to the HOK. Scavenger then spoke to Hank.
"Hank? Take Midnight back to our home.." Scavenger said Hank.
Hank nodded and took Midnight back to Scavenger's home. It was time for Scavenger to talk to his daughter.
"Juniper? What did you think you're doing? You know you could've been killed today!" Scavenger gasped.
"Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disobey you-" Juniper shook before her sentence was cut off.
"I'm telling you this because me and Midnight loved you.. We don't want to lose you.." Scavenger sighed.
"I know.." Juniper sighed.
"If something happened to you, I don't know what I'd do. One day, I won't be here, and you will carry on in my place. It's part of the Rusher team.." Scavenger explained.
"The Rusher team.." Juniper sighed.
"Exactly.. You need to be more careful.. As a future Rusher-" Scavenger said before his sentence is cut off.
"But what if I don't want to be a future Rusher? It's not fun.." Juniper asked.
"That's like saying you don't want to be a Rusher. It's in your blood...as I am. We are part of each other.." Scavenger said to Juniper.
"But what is scarier than the Anticorians?" Juniper asked.
"What is it?" Scavenger asked.
"Those Scorpion Wolves!" Juniper cheered.
"Heh heh.. Come here, you.." Scavenger laughed.
Scavenger and Juniper playfully shoved each other, and then began to walk.
SCAVENGER: As you go through life you see,
There is so much that we,
Don't understand..
SCAVENGER: And the only thing we know,
Is things don't always go,
The way we planned..
(The Wolf sternly look at the pup, before going back to the den to prevent from running away.)
SCAVENGER: But you'll see every day,
That we'll never turn away,
When it seems all your dream come undone..
SCAVENGER: We will stand by your side,
Filled with hope and filled with pride,
We are more than we are,
We are One..
(Birds grooming and Lynxes playing and jumping)
JUNIPER: If there's so much I must be,
Can I still just be me,
The way I am?
JUNIPER: Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
SCAVENGER: Your journey has only begun,
Is our pride, deep inside,
We are one..
(Family, Family, We are One..
Family, Family, We are One..)
SCAVENGER: We are one, You and I..
We are like the Earth and Sky,
One Family under the Sun,
We are One..
(Family, Family, We are One..
Family, Family, We are One..
Family, Family, We are One..
Family, Family, We are One..)
(Song Ends..)
Scavenger and Juniper flew back to their home right before the Sunset came..
