Little something for St. Patrick's day.

I always wonder how the Rusher did with some fo their team members religions, here is the answer :)


When the big guy got a plan

Whitehorse, March 15...

Alto:-*reading* and with it many legends grew around Patrick and he become the foremost Saint in Ireland. *Stops* Interesting...just how many stories are of these guys?

He got off the chair placing the book back and walking out. He wandered a little bit before reaching the President's room. Wondering how he was doing he knocked.

President Woodrow Wilson: Come in.

Alto opened the door walking in.

Alto: Hey Wilson can you explain to-*sees the Guest* Me?

Two men in fine grabs were standing in front of the desk, the president getting up. Alto blinked before getting embarrassed.

Alto: Oh man sorry! I didn't know we had important visitors here.

President Woodrow Wilson: It is quite alright, we were just discussing some plans for locations for their respected religions.

Alto closed the door curious at that.

Alto: Religions...is that what he meant-anyway my I ask who these men are?

President Woodrow Wilson: These are the leaders of their respected religions. Father here is apart of the Catholic community, while Rabi is apart of the Jewish community.

Alto nodded, though he was also being cautious.

Alto:-Taking a bit of a leap here but you two don't do anything well-concerning right?

Father: Oh no, though both of our religions are different we are not involved with anything evil.

Rabi: Yes. For example, while the Jewish do not follow the new testament both beleive in God.

Now that caught his attentions.

Alto: Is that his nickname you two give him?

All three: *confused* Whose Nickname?

Alto: Creator.

Now they were curious as they heard the Rusher say Creator.

President Woodrow Wilson: Freefall mentioned that name before, is that God's name to Rusherz?

Alto: Umm, we just know him as Creator and him saying long ago that he will 'have many names'.

Father: Many names?

Rabi: Long ago?

President Woodrow Wilson: Why don't we sit down in a more comfortable setting, this is intriguing.

.

.

All four sat on the sofa, Alto facing them.

President Woodrow Wilson: Alto, can you tell us more of this.

Alto: *shrugs* Why not, it's only fair that you all know about our culture a bit.

With that Alto sighed as the three gentlemen got closer.

Alto: It has been told to us for years-but this is how it goes-

.

.

.

Alto: LONG AGO, THERE WAS NOTHING BUT DARKNESS AND THE SOUND OF WAR. A CONSTANT BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. NO ONE KNEW WHO THEY WERE FIGHTING, NO ONE KNEW WHEN IT BEGAN, NO ONE KNEW HOW LONG. IT SUDDENLY-A GREAT FLASH APPEARED, AND LIGHT BLANKETED THE AREA.

The being slowly opened his eyes. He looked upon the deserted landscape and the dark sky which began to glisten with stars. He looked down and saw himself. He was small, four fingers and no neck.

Being: What is-gasp-

He spoke! He didn't even knew he could talk! He turned and nearly jumped seeing another one like him, only feathers sprung our of his arm.

Being 2: What the-

Alto: THEY COULD SEE AND TALK TO EACH OTHER. SOON, MORE AND MORE CAME ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. IMMEDIATELY, THE ONE WHO SPOKE FIRST TOOK CHARGE AND THE BEINGS BEGAN TO WANDER THEIR PLANET. THE PLANET WAS DESLOUTE, BARREN-AND DULL. THEY WERE SOON GETTING BORED WANDERING FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG. AND THEN-EVERYTHING CHANGED.

A green ball of light fell from the sky and crashing to the ground startling the beings. A green light went towards them and hit them.

Alto: THEY WERE HIT, AND FELT A POWER LIKE NO OTHER.

The smoke cleared, and the beings saw they were now wearing uniforms and felt a power in them. The leader grabbed a torch and spun it around, sending a fire ball to the sky. All were in awe and soon tested out their new powers and abilities. Soon, the leader turned to the light, slowly going down and touched it. The light flashed brightly nearly blinding the beings as Life began to spring on the planet, a light in the sky creating day as the new life began to form.

Alto: THE POWER FOR THAT LIGHT, WAS INCREDIBLE. FROM THE RUBBLE OF THE WORLD NEW LIFE AND CITIES GREW. THE WORLD BECAME A PLANET OF LIFE, MAGIC, AND WONDER.

Soon the light faded as the beings looked around in awe. Suddenly-

voice: RUSHERZ.

Alto: A VOICE WAS HEARD, SCARING THE NOW NAMED RUSHERZ.

Rusher Leader: *Defensive* Who are you!?

Voice: I AM NOT AN ENEMY RUSHERZ. I WAS THE ONE WHO GIFTED YOU WITH LIFE AND LIGHT UPON YOUR PLANET.

Rusher Leader: *lowers defense* Alright, but why? And why do you call us Rusherz?

Voice: I HAVE HEARD YOU FIGHT THE EVILS FOR SO MANY YEARS. ONCE I WAS DONE CREATING LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE, I WENT TO FIND YOU. YOU WERE NOT HARD TO FIND, AS I REMEMBER SEEING YOU FIGHT AS RUSHES OF LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS. HENCEFORTH, I CALLED YOU RUSHERZ.

Rusher Leader: *Awe* Whoa...t-thank you. But, what is your name?

Voice: MY NAME WILL COME IN MANY FORMS AND PRAISED IN MANY WAYS, EVER CHANGING WITH THE TIMES.

Rusher Leader: You got a whole plan for this huh.

The voice chuckled at that.

Voice: YOU COULD SAY THAT. BUT-THERE WAS ENERGY LEFT FROM THE CREATION, THUS THE BALL OF ENERGY BEFORE YOU.

The Rusherz looked down at the ball of energy.

Voice: UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAS MANIFEST INTO A OBJECT THAT I CANNOT BRING UP TO MY REALM AND I FEAR WITH THAT IT WILL FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS.

The Rusherz shoke their heads.

Rusher Leader: Then we shall protect it! You gave us a new life we could make, please, let us continue to defend the balance and light of the universes.

Alto: THE VOICE WAS TOUCHED BY THEIR KINDNESS DESPITE JUST MEETING HIM. HE AGREED, BUT HE HAD CREATED COUNTER MEASURES FOR THIS AGREEMENT.

Voice: VERY WELL, I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD IN THE FUTURE THOUGH...SO, I WILL GRANT YOU HEROES. THEY WILL COME WHEN THE TIME IS MOST DIRE, YOUR KIN WILL BE TESTED AND GO THROUGH CHANGES THAT WILL BE TOUGH BUT I KNOW YOU WILL BAND TOGETHER AND BE BY EACH-OTHERS SIDE.

They nodded.

Rusher Leader: Thank you, Creator.

Alto: WITH THAT AND THE PRESENCE OF A SMILE, THE BEING LEFT. THE RUSHERZ BEGAN TO ESTABLISH THEIR LIFESTYLE. THEY IMMEDIATELY SAW HOW POWERFUL THEY WERE WITH ACTIVE MOVES, SO SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT BLOSSOMED FAST. THE BALL OF ENERGY WAS GIVEN A NAME-THE CORE.

.

Alto opened his eyes looking at the astonished and amazed men.

Alto: And that, is the creation of the Rush Zone.

They were speechless, staring in awe at Alto. Many others were in the room now listening to the Saints Rusher tale. It was quiet for a long time till-

Father and Rabi: *awe* Incredible.

President Woodrow Wilson: *awe* That is, fascinating.

Alto: That's how it happened for us. From our research in the library, we can see similarities with what we saw from what your stories and books say. *to the Father and Rabi* However, now we have religions at play so if you do not mind, we would like to see information on the religions on this planet here as well. We might find more similarities.

Father: Of-Of course! We would be happy to help.

Rabi: And our doors are always open no matter which place you go.

Alto smiled nodding in appreciation to them and got up.

Alto: Well, I better tell the others what I learned here. Thank you for listening to me.

President Woodrow Wilson: Your welcome. And thank you, for telling us.

Alto walked out of the room smiling-and the group of people slumped in shock and awe.

President Woodrow Wilson: *shock and awe* These Rusherz just how many surprises will we get from them.

Father and Rabi: *shock and awe* Only God knows.


Later...

Alto was looking out the window. The others were just as interested as he was with the new information and looked forward to researching it, but for now he was content to watch the now dusk colored sky. He sighed as he lifted a object to his face.

Alto: *Smiles* Glad you were safe from the blast, need to let my mind wander.

Alto took the saxs to his lips and played the night away to the unseen audience in the sky.


To those who celebrate it, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY :)!
