The tale of the Buc and Dolphin
2006, Malcolm's home...
Dylan and Zoey: *joy* GRANDPA! GRANDPA!
Malcolm Glazer: *smiles;girls on arms* Alright! Up we go!
The twin girls laughed as their Grandfather took them to their guest bedroom, the girls staying over tonight with their father and mother out.
Malcolm Glazer: *tucks them in* Alright, now before you two sleep, How about a story?
The girls nodded in excitement.
Dylan Glazer: Can it be something fantasy like?
Zoey Glazer: What about something real?
Malcolm chuckled.
Malcolm Glazer: Alright, how about both. I got a story that would fit both critirias.
Both girls laid down in excitement as their grandfather sat in the chair.
Malcolm Glazer: This is the true story, of the Buc and the Dolphin.
Malcolm voice: Long ago, on a planet long gone, was a vast ocean filled with life. On the ocean surface was a swashbuckling crew of beings called the Buccaneer Rusherz.
The ship was full of life as the Rusherz played music, practicing sword fighting or conversing with eachother. At the helm was a Rusher dressed in fine grabs and a hooked hand smiling.
Malcolm voice: The crew was lead by a strong willed Buccaneer Captain named Hook, who lead them in kindness and strength. Of course, even the strongest captain need a 'first mate', and that first mate was his beloved wife, Seia.
The female Buccaneer Rusher walked over, holding a bundle in her arms.
Hook: *smiles warmly* Aye, I take it he wanted to join the fun?
Seia: *giggles* Of course, he got that from you after all. *to the bundle;warm* Your certainly your father's son.
Hook smiled warmed more as he looked down at the infant in his wife's arms.
Hook: Me dear Peg-Leg, our precious treasure. He's going to do amazing things when he grows up.
Seia: I agree. He already broke a trend of course.
Hook smiled placing a finger in his son's tiny hands.
Malcolm voice: It was tradition that the Captain of this Buccaneer crew was born without a limb, and Peg-Leg was the first to be born without one of his legs and blind in one eye. This was known to be a sign that Peg-Leg would grow up strong; in heart, soul, and mind.
.
.
Malcolm voice: Like the ocean world above, below was just as filled with life. The Dolphin Rusherz ran the ocean with their calm souls and passionate drive.
A dolphin Rusher swam through the tunnels, jumping up in a cave area smiling.
Malcolm voice: One of the finest swimmers was a Dolphin named Doppler, who was known for having the loudest Super Sonar of the land. But what he loved the most was to spend his days with the love of his life, Sapphira.
Doppler walked in what could be the living room, seeing his wife rocking a bundle in her arms.
Doppler: *kissing her cheek* How's our little Sonar doing?
Sapphira: As cool as can be, not a single cry.
Sapphira and Doppler looked down smiling at the infant Dolphin Rusher, who was sleeping peacefully in her arms.
Doppler: Just like his mother, cool as can be.
Malcolm voice: Their newborn son Sonar was their pride and joy, and they had hopes and dreams that he would have a happy and successful future. That their son would have wonder friends and be able to do marvelous things when he grew up.
.
Malcolm voice: Both of them grew up in kind loving families...however, their lives would intertwine from the most tragic of circumstances.
.
.
.
Sonar held on to his mother as the two swam, fear in their eyes. The child was in a panic as to what was going on.
Sonar: Mom what's going on!? Where's Dad!? Why is everyone being captured?!
Sapphira shoke her head, tears falling. She had just lost her husband, SHE WOULD NOT LOSE HER SON.
Sapphira: Sonar, listen. We need to get out of the water, find someplace to hide like the core temple.
Sonar: BUT WHY!? Whose is this Sudden Death guy!? What's with these weird Blitz-Borgs?!
The two passed under a shadow...when a large red beam glowed. Closing her eyes she sobbed, she knew what that blast could do..she would not let Sonar be lost in that.
Sapphira: *tears* Sonar, I love you...PLEASE LIVE.
Sonar: Mo-
She turned around and covered him as the beam hit.
...
Peg-Leg shot of the water of what remained of his ship, the young child grabbing a board. He looked up...surprise to see he could see through both eyes but...he quickly grabbed a floating piece of fabric wrapping it around the area not wanting anyone to think he was an enemy. He looked up at the storm, seeing the swarm.
Peg-Leg: *Growls* Didn't get me..*tear falls* Mother, Father, thank you for protecting me.
The lose of his Parents hit him hard, but he had no time to grieve. He had to live for them and drowning was not on his game-plan...he froze when he looked in the water, seeing the silhouette of something.
Peg-Leg: *Stunned* Was someone else hit!? A-Are they still alive?!
He dove in fast.
.
Peg-Leg got closer, heart breaking seeing what remained of what he presumed was a female Dolphin Rusher and not sensing any energy from her...but he soon froze seeing another male his age, breathing and unconscious. He quickly grabbed him and swimming up to the surface, gasping for air. He looked around- seeing his late father sword before grabbing it and striked it on the board.
Peg-Leg: *holding on to both* MOTHER FATHER GUIDE US TO LAND!
.
.
Malcolm voice: It was a long stormy night, but the two made it to dry land by morning.
Peg-Leg panted as he laid on the sand with the Dolphin Rusher in his arms, grasping his late father's sword.
Peg-Leg: Thank ye father, Mother..
He sat up once he heard the Dolphin breath and moan, helping him sit up.
Peg-Leg: Easy there, you've been out all night.
The Dolphin Rusher opened his eyes, seeing the drenched young Buccaneer looking at him. He immediately sat up upon seeing the young Buc.
Dolphin: *Bit of fear* Wh-who are you? Where am I?!
Peg-Leg: Easy lad, me name is Peg-Leg. I'm a Buccaneer Rusher. Both of us got caught in a Blitz raid..may I ask for your name?
He nodded as he looked around.
Sonar: S-Sonar-*fear grows* WHERE'S MY MOM!?
Peg-Leg bit his lip, sadly shaking his head.
Peg-Leg: I'm sorry..she got hit by the blast that took me family, zapped her energy too. She...didn't make it.
Sonar tears fell as he sniffled, soon crying as Peg-Leg hugged him.
Sonar: *Grief* NO! MOM! WHY HER?! WHY MY PARENTS!? WHY DID THEY ATTACK US?!
Peg-Leg: *Some tears fall;comforting* I know, I know.
.
It took a while for Sonar's tears to stop, tiny hiccups being left. Peg-Leg knew he couldn't leave the dolphin Rusher alone, nor be alone himself.
Peg-Leg: Looks like we're the only survivors, so we're gonna stick together okay?
Sonar nodded as Peg-Leg helped him up, Grabbing the sword.
Peg-Leg: We're gonna need a good place to go, got any idea?
Sonar: *sniffles* M-Mom suggested going to the Core temple.
Peg-Leg nodded in determination.
Peg-Leg: Alright then, the Core Temple it is. Let's get moving Sonar.
Peg-Leg helped Sonar up as they walked.
Sonar:-Um-T-Thank you, for saving me.
Peg-Leg gave a soft smile as Sonar leaned into him, still tired from the long swim.
.
.
Malcolm voice: With that the two set off on their journey. At first it was sorrowful silence, but as the years went on the two talked and eventually made a friendship/brotherhood-
?: HA!
The fruit and a few leaves fell from the tree in one clean sweep, a adult Dolphin Rusher grabbing them.
Dolphin Rusher: Got them Peg-Leg!
Peg-Leg: *from the tree* Amazing catch Sonar!
Peg-Leg lept down next to his friend. The two had grown to adults, cloths tattered but smiles on their faces as they sat down and ate.
Sonar: You think we're making progress?
Peg-Leg: Think so, the area matched the description me dear late mother told me years ago. Hopefully we'll make it before we hit the cold season hard, snow will be here soon.
Sonar nodded as he took a bite.
Sonar: Yeah, the cold season isn't good for me. I know I sound like a broken record but...I got to thank you for helping me during those times.
Peg-Leg: *brings Sonar in a one arm hug* Aye, You help me alot of times to with your tech skills and keen eyes. Your companionship is a blessing Sonar.
Sonar smiled as he returned the gesture.
.
Malcolm voice: The day went on as usual, till the storm hit upon nightfall. Hail fell from the sky as the two ran to find shelter.
Peg-Leg and Sonar ran, covering their heads as they looked around.
Sonar: *points* Over there! That alcove in the wall!
Peg-Leg smiled as the two ran in panting and shaking.
Peg-Leg: Brilliant eyes Sonar.
Sonar: Yeah, though we can't make a fire sadly.
Peg-Leg shoke his head as he brought Sonar close in a hug.
Peg-Leg: Got heat in us for a reason, we'll have to wait out on the storm.
Sonar nodded as he hugged back yawning.
Sonar: *sleepy* We have to be close...we...*closes his eyes* Have, too.
Sonar leaned his head on Peg-Leg, having fallen asleep. Peg-Leg couldn't help but smile.
Peg-Leg: Aye, I have a feeling our journey is almost complete as well.
Malcolm voice: With that both fell asleep, safe from the storm. The next day it had cleared, but they were not alone-
.
Hey guys! LOOK!
Whoa! A Buccaneer and a Dolphin Rusher!
Are they alive?
Their breathing so, yeah?
Sonar felt something breath on him as he slowly woke up and-
Bangle Rusher: *close* Yeah their aliv-
Sonar sent out a Super Sonar sending the small group of Rusherz back a bit and waking up Peg-Leg, who drew what was now his sword.
Peg-Leg: *Defensive* WHO GOES THERE?! SHOW YOURSELF!
The small group sat up shaking, shocking Peg-Leg.
Peg-Leg: By the shards of the core...
Malcolm voice: -A group of Rusherz on patrol found them; Fang, Talon, Freedom, Alto, and the leader of the patrol that day, Stampede.
Talon: *Shaken* O-KAY, bad idea to get close for now. Been here for a while but dang, never thought my heart would race from another Rusher.
Peg-Leg still had his weapon up, just incase, as he held Sonar close to him.
Peg-Leg: *Bit defensive* Are ye Rusherz like us?
Fang: *Shaken* I-We-yes. Sorry for the scare but...wow my heart is racing.
Freedom: *Shaken* I agree, loudest Super Sonar I've heard. He could match Freefall in frequency.
Alto took a breath before coming closer a bit, calm on his face upon seeing the fear still in Sonar's eyes.
Alto: Hey there, we're sorry for scaring you two. We were on patrol around the temple area and saw you both here. *Looks at Peg-Leg* Where you both here all night during the storm?
Peg-Leg, upon seeing the calm and honest eyes of Alto, lowered his sword nodding.
Peg-Leg: Aye, we took shelter here. Did you say the core temple, cause we been traveling to get there.
Stampede stepped forward, feeling their foreheads.
Stampede: Yes, this is one of the walls of the temple...Shards you both are freezing.
Freedom: We should take them inside, last thing we want is for them to get sick.
Peg-Leg smiled hearing this, turning to Sonar.
Peg-Leg: Sonar, did you hear? We made it, and they want to help us.
Sonar looked up seeing the Rusherz and they were safe, a sigh escaping him as well as a small smile.
...
Freefall: *check the two* You two should be lucky to not have gotten sick form that storm.
Peg-Leg: Survival training at a young age at play, Freefall correct?
Freefall nodded as Beast cooked, the patrol group informing the others on the new arrivals. Stampede had gone to tell the news of the new faces in the temple.
Freefall: Yes, that is my name. I overheard your names as well, Peg-Leg and Sonar correct?
Peg-Leg: Aye, *chuckles* You can tell whose name is who.
Peg-Leg tapped his namesake smirking, Sonar giving a small chuckle.
Freefall: *Amused* Yes, I can see that. *nods* Well, you two are unscaved and not running a temperature. A warm meal should be good though given you spent the night in a storm.
Beast: Coming up!
Sonar smiled as he smelled the air.
Sonar: It's been so long since we had a warm meal.
Peg-Leg: I agree, smells really good Beast.
Beast smiled as he handed the two soup bowls, Sonar and Peg-Leg giving grateful nods as they ate. Freefall turned to see Liberty walk over.
Liberty: How are they?
Freefall: Cold, but not sick nor injured. From what Stampede said they have been traveling to here for a while.
Liberty: That's good..-sighs- now for the hard part.
Malcolm voice: The two looked up seeing the leader walk over, a calm yet gentle look on his face.
Sonar: *Eyes widen* A Gaint Rusher.
Peg-Leg: I'll be, I thought you all were wiped out.
Liberty: Only survivor, and I suppose you two were are well.
Sonar sadly nodded as Peg-Leg placed a arm on his shoulder.
Peg-Leg: *to Sonar* I'll tell him. *to Liberty* We're are, actually the only two to survive one of Sudden Deaths attack at the same time. Took out me parents and crew with a single blow, and Sonar's mother sacrifice herself to save Sonar by shielding him from the blast. His father and the rest of his home-
Peg-Leg trailed off; worrying Liberty, Freefall and Beast.
Beast: *worry* I got a bad feeling on this.
Peg-Leg: I do not know if you know this but Lord Zatu army and followers have a market on Rusherz, like Broncos and Dolphins for example.
Liberty: *worry deepens* What do you mean?
Peg-Leg, making sure Sonar was not hearing to send him into a relapse, leaned in whispering to the three and once he finished-
Freefall: *mortified* SHARDS!
Beast: *disgusted* Oh shards that's wrong, so wrong.
Liberty was pale hearing this, looking at Sonar.
Sonar: W-we ran into one of their locations looking for shelter...I saw-and they were all-
Peg-Leg: *pats his back* Deep breath Sonar...*Sonar does* Needless to say, it was quite a traumatizing sight and discovery.
Liberty took a breath, calming himself as the two Rusherz looked at him.
Liberty: Sonar I swear we'll do our best to protect you from-THAT. I'm really glad you were with him during all that Peg-Leg... I was told you two wished to take shelter here, was your main goal after you two met...*warm smile* well you two are more than welcomed to join our little group.
Sonar tears fell as he smiled, relief on his face. Peg-Leg had some tears fall as well smiling as he grasped Liberty's hand.
Peg-Leg: Thank ye, Thank ye so much Liberty! We shall also do our part and protect the core as well.
Sonar: Y-yeah. Thank you so much you guys. W-Well do out best to help out around here, promise.
The three smiled as Peg-Leg and Sonar celebrated, relived that their journey had ended on a high note.
Present...
Malcolm Glazer: And so the two journey to the core ended with the meeting of their new friends. Soon the two and their friends found themselves here on Earth, where the two created two teams that marked their legacy for years and years to come. Their friendship and brotherhood still stands even with their team's rivalry, and to this day they work hard together to defend all.
Malcolm smile warmed seeing his granddaughters had fallen asleep with smiles, giving small kisses on their foreheads before turning off the lights and heading out. He saw his wife waiting for him in their bed room.
Linda Glazer: *smiles* I take it you told them your favorite story.
Malcolm Glazer: *gets into bed; kisses her* One of my personal favorites since we became the Buccaneer Owners. I'm so glad we did this.
Linda Glazer: As am i dear.
Meanwhile; Canton Ohio, HOK...
Peg-Leg hummed a shanty as he finished the paperwork, satisfied. He heard footsteps outside his room, poking his head out.
Peg-Leg: Sonar?
Sonar stopped looking behind him, looking tired.
Sonar: *tired;nervous* H-Hi Peg-Leg.
Peg-Leg went over in concern seeing his oldest friend up this late.
Peg-Leg: Sonar what are you doing up?
Sonar: *tired;nervous*I-Can't sleep.
Peg-leg knew exactly why immediately.
Peg-Leg: That memory popped up?
Sonar: *tired;nervous* Yeah.
Peg-Leg gave a warm smile as he lead him back to his room.
Peg-Leg: It's okay, your not alone in this me friend.
Sonar: *weakly smiles* T-Thank you, Peg-Leg.
Sonar sat down with Peg-Leg, the Buc easing the Dolphins fears.
.
.
Morning came as Liberty looked over the rooms, stopping as he heard small snores. He opened the door, warmly smiling seeing Peg-Leg and Sonar asleep, the two brothers in all but blood forehead touching with smiles on their faces.
THE
END
