Chapter 3: Broken families.

Ray hidden his face as he silently walked through the town towards his Uncle Sly's and Aunt Niaomi's shop. His was hood over his face, hiding it but he knew everyone knew it was him due to the threatening glares he kept receiving.

You see, after Ray was born, Sly and Niaomi had decided to run a shop together which sells rare clothes and Boomerangs while Sly and Niaomi's son, Luca, is a genius with machines as he tinkers with cars and plays the role of a traveling mechanic.

Ray soon spotted a large wooden building at the end of the road, beside the school. The shop was fairly large due to the fact that it was also Sly, Niaomi and Luca's home.

The Tasmainian Dingo slowly opened the door, making a bell ring, alerting the Family that they had a visitor/customer.

Sly was the first to get to the door. He had changed a bit because his brown fur was a little scruffy at the sides. He still wore a shark tooth neckless and he wore a ripped sleeveless jacket and he also wore a pair of tan trousers which were also a little ripped with a skull belt. He had also obtained a small bite mark on his right ear for some unknown reason.

"Why, G'day Ray. Ya came to see Luca?" asked Sly with a toothy grin, looking very happy to see his nephew. Ray nodded simply in reply before Sly opened the door for him and the young Tasmainian tiger/dingo hybrid smiled at his uncle genuinely as he walked inside the shop before heading forwards and into a door which lead to Luca's workshop.

As Ray walked in, found his cousin fixing up a random citizen's car by opening up the hood and using a spanner to tighten the bolts and other things, humming a little tune as he worked.

Luca was pretty much a pure Tasmainian but he didn't have any stripes to his name, well except maybe a small stripe on the tip of his tail, and he was very romantic but he couldn't strike anyone oddly. He was also very charming but had this evil streak in him, this evil streak coming from his dad, and if anyone wasn't looking he would steal everyone's cookies and replace them with rubber chickens within a heartbeat.

Luca wore a dark blue bandanna around his neck and wore blue shorts and a trench coat that went down to his waist. He had a long point of hair sticking out from the top of his head while he had some scruffs just above his ears. He also wore some fingerless gloves on his hands.

The young stripeless brown-furred Tazzy tiger looked up at his cousin with a toothy grin and greeted, getting up to his feet by doing a backflip and landing firmly on his feet "G'day, Ray. I had a feeling that you'd come ovah, Coz ya always come 'ere if youse had an argument of some kind."

Ray shoved his hands inside his pockets and looked away from his cousin, looking to the floor as he shuffled his foot nervously. It was true. Whenever he got into trouble, he would go over to Luca for sympathy. Luca was also a very good socialist as he pretty much got along with anyone.

The Tazzy tiger hybrid looked up at his cousin as an idea sprang to mind "Hey, Luca. Would'ja mind getting the 'B.R.N.G' ovah?" He asked with a mishchevious edge to his voice before he watched as Luca pull a lever to call his fellow team mates. B.R.N.G stands for: Bush Rescue Next Generation and it was the group that was made up of all the kids of the Bush Rescue team before.

Suddenly, a slide opened up below the two Tazzy tiger hybrids and they soon found themselves landing on a cushioned area and not so long after their arrival, they saw their friends enter one by one.

First there was Tanya the Tasmanian devil (daughter of Ranger Ken). She had the most smoothest, shiniest black coat with a small white stripe just above her muzzle and she resembled a lot like her father but she had her fur in a pony tail and she wore a green dress. She was the sensible one and Ray kind of had a crush on her.

Next was Timmy the Tasmanian tiger (son of Betty and Duncan). He was the youngest of the team and he was practically 7 years old. He had dark yellow fur and he had 'hair' like his father but he had his mother's green eyes and he also wore green trousers while he wore no T-shirt. Timmy had an innocent personality and would always look on the bright side of things.

There was Boonie the Koala (son of Merv the Koala). Boonie was the oldest member and he was a very cheeky koala bear who wore a orange puffy coat and some black trousers. He also wore some knitted mittens and he had a piece of his right ear bitten off but it did make him look cool.

Next was Dipper the platypus (Daughter of Elle and Rex the Platypi). He was just a normal Platypus who assisted Luca with his machines. He looked like his dad and wore purple shorts and he had a light brown spot upon his right eye, hence the name Dipper. He also loved to swim and he sadly had a fear of the dark. This was a major problem.

Then there was One-eyed Jack the Tasmanian tiger/lizard (son of Ridge and Fluffy). Jack was the head of operations and he often scouts the areas to check for any bad guys. He was pretty much hardcore and was a little uptight but other then that, he was a pretty nice guy but he did prefer to be alone most of the time.

Finally, there was Daniel the green tree frog (Son of Dennis the Green tree frog and the cheapskate of the whole area). Daniel was the coward of the team and often had 'allergic reactions' to everything. He was pretty much a germ phobic and he was constantly hiding behind everything and anything. Despite being a pain in the behind, Daniel was rarely brave and sometimes had good ideas but those were rare moments.

"So. What're we doing 'ere?" Asked Jack as his cybernetic eye scanned the place for any mercenaries. Ray sighed and replied "Guys, I dunno what ta do. I need 'elp grabbing attention from the townsfolk without destroying my parents hopes and dreams."

"Hmmm...Didja tell 'em about the problem, Rovah?" Jack asked as he folded his arm and rested his leg upon a stood in front of him, chewing on a piece of wheat as he did so. Ray nodded sadly with his ears hanging low. He hated disappointing his parents but he felt as if he had no choice. He wanted everyone's attention but nobody would give it to him. It was frustrating.

"Yeah but my dad won't listen ta me." Replied Ray sadly before he looked away shamefully and Tanya reached towards the Tasmainian dingo and was about to rest her hand upon it but suddenly, Boonie smelt something. He looked around in panic and Dipper asked while cocking an eye ridge "Hey what's wrong, Boonie? Something got the ol' sniffah?"

Boonie replied grimly, feeling his voice break and his heart pound within his chest "Something's wrong, guys. Something's really wrong!"

Jack then sniffed the air and sat up as his ears moved in a radar like motion. He then looked at his team and confirmed with an equally grim voice "I believe that the Koala's right! Someone has invaded and they aren't friendlies!"

Everyone scrambled up towards a flight of stairs that led to a manhole that also led to the town centre and New Barramungee was surprisingly empty. The skies were grey and there was no creature in sight! Without a word said, everyone ran their separate ways and went to check their homes but what they found none of them were prepared for.

A/N: I hope this chapter was good enough and sorry about the short yet poorly update. I was and still am busy with my work. Sorry and I'll try and update again soon.
