CFL- FROST FIGHT!
Part 3: Making new spirited Friends.
HOK...
Ish: Okay...let's not panic despite how bad the situation has gotten.
All were worried after Thor had explained the situation, still shaken on the discover with RZ looking at the maps.
Bolt: *Worry* Ish as much as I am happy you and the others are staying calm may I remind you the CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS WE ARE GOING THROUGH AS WELL THE LAST LOCATION STAMPS WAS AT-!
?: Pardon me, sorry for being late!
All turned to see Cobra running over, stopping in place and giving a quick salute.
Cobra: I apologies for the tardiness-
Pillage: Easy buddy, know things have been busy with the new king of your country.
Cobra gave a quick smile before turning serious once again.
Cobra: Master RZ, anything I need to know that happened during my travel over here?
RZ: Nothing new sadly.
Troy: All we know is the last location Stampede was at and that there was an attack on his team before he went MIA.
Ricky: Some of the Rusherz are looking around the areas for any trouble, but they will be back soon. The Bills are coming in soon too to help with the search.
Cobra nodded as he joined the others looking over the screens.
Ash: Thanks again for coming in at short notice, know things have been busy since the coronation-
Cobra: *warm smile* My dear lady Ash I am always happy to help my friends. I do hope we find him soon through...Oh and congratulations are in order for your new owners Chief.
Chief: *smiles* T-Thanks Cobra.
With small smiles forming at this, they continued their search for their missing friend.
Meanwhile, CFL HQ..
Esk: *checks him* Oh yeah, bruised lungs at full play here YOU need to get some more bed-rest. *looks at him* I suggest you take it easy and let us handle any of the situations that will come.
Esk had done a full check on up Stampede, Argus on the side nodding in agreement.
Stampede: *bit of pain* G-Got it-
?: HELLO!
All three turned to see a Lion Rusher walk in. He had a orange coat that reminded him of a sunset, with black coal eyes. What's more his mane was short, seeing that's how long it was going to be. He was wearing a light flannel jacket with a uniform, a embroidered bracelet of his teams colors on one hand. As soon as he got close..his face morphed into worry.
Lion: *worry* He feels really bad.
That got the two CFL Rusherz attention quickly.
Esk: Wisp, you felt his soul. Is it damage?
Wisp walked over, looking over Stampede in worry.
Wisp: It's irritated, it certainly does not like the damage done to his body.
Esk: Well his heart and lung are in agreement so it's making it know.
Argus: And he coughed up blood as well-
Wisp ears fell back in more worry.
Wisp: *worry* Please tell me he's going to take it easy.
Stampede: Y-Yes. I will, I told Esk I would and I certainly will.
Wisp sighed, still worried. It was then a ball of fiery light appeared beside him, forming into a glowing blue/green/teal fox nuzzling him and making him smile.
Wisp: *small smile* Yes, I'll calm down Fea. Thank you dear girl.
Stampede was left speechless seeing the creature while Argus and Esk chuckled at his reaction.
Stampede: *Awe* That's a familiar *both nodded*..incredible.
Wisp took noticed, then looked at Fea whispering to her. She nodded as he smiled.
Wisp: *to Stampede* It's nice to meet you, my name is Wisp of the BC Lions. *eyes Fea* This is Fea, my familiar... Would you like to pet her?
Stampede, even more in awe, nodded. Fea floated down to his lap as Stampede petted her.
Stampede: *Awe* Incredible. I've only seen them in stories or film, and I always wondered if we could make them appear on Earth.
Argus: *chuckles with pride* That's our Wisp. He read it from a book and done it on his first try. Scared the spirits out of the teams and the Commissioner at the time.
Wisp: She's very gentle though, She must of felt the new presence and wanted to see what was going on. *to Argus* Cheval is coming in shortly, he needed to grab something.
Esk: Very good. I'm sure he will be happy to hear that our new friend is awake as well.
Stampede smiled as he continued to pet Fea.
The sounds of more footsteps were heard as another Rusher came in, a White with tiny black spotted horse with black hair and the most deep ruby red eyes that Stampede thought only Beast had. He wore a red and white hooded light wool jacket with his uniform as his hoofs hit the floor, having taken off his shoes.
Horse Rusher: OH! He's up, I thought he was supposed to stay in bed Esk?
Esk: He's stubborn that's why, he wants to contact his team immediately BUT is in no condition to even throw a toss.
Stampede blushed hearing this, Esk sounded JUST like Freefall. The Horse Rusher walked over smiling.
Cheval: Nice to meet you, I'm Cheval! From the Calgary Stampeders Rusher. We all heard so much about you, your team and the others. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask!
Stampede smiled at the Stamperder Rusher, that smile warmed his heart faster than the numb pain he felt.
Stampede: Thank you Cheval.
Cheval beamed as he turned to Argus and Esk, nodding.
Cheval: Cordes is currently flying over to Canton to deliver the message Argus, should be meeting them very soon.
Argus: *Smiles* Excellent, and a good idea as well. If we are to meet our friends across the border best do it with a Rusher coming over for a first meeting.
Stampede smile grew, but he winced clutching his chest a bit as Esk helped him up.
Esk: I think that's enough action for one day for you, let's get you back for some air treatment.
Stampede: *winces; smiles* Y-Yeah.
Stampede's voice: I pray to meet my friends and team soon.
Canton Ohio, sky's...
A feathered White and red horned Skylark Rusher flew in the air, humming a tune as he passed by the clouds. He wore his team's uniform as well as a lighter short sleeve summer version of a red parka uniform, having the silver tuque on it.
Skylark Rusher: Take, On, Me
Take, me, On
I'll be gone
In a day or two!
...Hmm?
He stopped seeing an orange blur on the ground, before seeing the blur tripped...seeing that it was Steed the Bronco Rusher.
.
Steed: *pain* Ouch..
Steed grabbed his ankle in pain, feeling the muscles pulse in pain.
?: Oh my, that was a tumble. Are you alright?
Steed looked over, seeing the Skylark Rusher land and checking on him. He was shocked at first, but the pain made it vanish.
Steed: N-Not really I..Think i twisted my ankle here...*looks him over;Realization* OH! Your a Rusher, from Mepa!
Cordes: *smiles* Indeed. My name is Cordes of the Montreal Alouettes. I was heading over here when I saw you. Perhaps we can head to the location together if you like?
Steed: *Smiles, bit pained* Yeah. Don't think I'll go far with a twisted ankle. I'll give the directions to the Hall of Fame Cordes, and thank you.
Cordes smiled as he lept in the air and brought Steed on his back as they took off.
Cordes: Mind if I ask what you were doing out here?
Steed: Was on patrol for any Blitz activity and looking for a friend of mine, I got done and was heading back..*facepalms* But I tripped on a root and got my ankle caught.
Cordes: *wincing* Eeeee-youch, that will hurt. My friend did that one time during training and he had to sit out for two weeks. Well, hopefully we can get that looked at once we arrive at our destination!
Steed couldn't help but smile as Cordes flew off.
.
.
Later, HOK...
Steed: Guys, I'm here. AND I found a friend.
Cordes: *awe;looks around* My stars, what a scene.
All (Guardians, Rusherz, the Bills and RZ) turned to see Cordes walk in, Steed on his back. He was in shock seeing the area as were the heroes seeing Cordes walking in.
RZ: Never a dull moment here...
Their shock soon vanished seeing Steed wincing.
Stallion: *concern* Steed you okay?
Steed: Not really, *set down on stairs* twisted my ankle on the way here. Cordes found me and helped me get back.
Ish: Cordes?
Cobra looked at him closely before his eyes widen.
Cobra: *awe* A Mepan Rusher.
Cordes gave a curt bow smiling as Cyclops and Freefall helped Steed with his injury.
Cordes: Cordes the Montreal Alouettes Rusher, member of the Frost Bite Zone of the Canadian Football League. Was on my way here when I ran into Steed, who had a tumble.
RZ: Thank you for helping him...*realization* you were on your way here?
Cordes: *nods* Yes, I have a message to deliver to you all.
Cordes took out the letter handing it to Sean, who opened it...he sighed in both relief and worry.
Ash: What's up?
Sean McDermott: Well Thor's hope for Stampede to be safe was true, he was found and is in the care of these guys. Although, he was found NEARLY BRUNT TO A CRISP and was injured severely from a fall.
Josh Allen: *winces* Ohhh, I-I don't know whether to be happy or worried..*thinks*.. do both.
During all this Cordes looked around more...and then his eye caught the Viking Rusher.
Tua: Will say though, talk about perfect timing. We were just wondering about their being more of Rusherz.
Cordes: *return's his eyes to the others* Ah, I did hear about a knight grand appearance via message from Argus. A Erona Rusher among us as well! What an wondrous surprise!
Cobra blushed at the mention of his reveal last September.
Cordes: *joy* I must say it is a huge honor to meet you all, especially the team Stampede is working with and I can see why! That determination, that energy, that passion! No wonder the Border Rusher choose you!
Guardians and Team: *confused* Border Rusherz?
The rest of the Rusherz laughed at the name in nostalgia.
Cobra: My goodness I completely forgot that title!
Liberty: Okay, there's a nickname I never thought I hear again.
RZ: You know what he is talking about?
Bolt: *Nods* Way back on Cordalion, the Bill Rusherz were stationed right next to Mepa. Hence why they are nicknamed the Border Rusherz, Rusherz who border other countries.
Cordes: *joy* Indeed, And such a group of fine men he has chosen! Why, it's no wonder our country fell for you boys! Passion, courage, the will to LIVE!
The team got blushy at the complement..then, an idea formed in Cordes mind as he bowed in gratitude..
Cordes: I do say as a Rusher of the Frost Bite Zone, *Bows* it is a great pleasure to hopefully assist you with anything in reuniting with Stampede...however, I would like to ask you a favor of you all.
Ash: Oh?
Cordes: If Stampede wishes to see you all, and also to ensure future endeavors with both this league and over the ocean, then I must ask if not only the Guardians come but you gentlemen and Thor as well to help him return home. We, do not have access to the Country here unlike in our Country, at least not yet.
Sean McDermott: Sure thing, it's not full season mode so we..*confused* Hold on Thor too?
Thor was surprised at the request, all facing him.
Thor: Me? Why me? I can see the Bills given them and Canada's past endeavors, as well the Guardians given their position, but why me?
Josh Allen: Does he too have a connection to you guys?
Cordes smile faded there, a look of sorrow on it as he went over to Thor. He looked him over, a tiny yet sad smile on his face.
Cordes: Heh, your just like he described in his letters. I can see the passion in your eyes about everyone in and out of your team.
Thor: *very confused; worry* I-thanks? I-I'm sorry how do you know me?
Cordes took a breath, knowing full well what he was about to say next would be the ice breaker.
Cordes:...Your late coach wrote to us quite often, especially to our dear friend Canad of the Blue Bombers.
...A pin could be heard falling as Thor eyes shrank, stepping back shaking. His late coach, the one who put his team on the map, the one who put the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on the map..
..BUD GRANT.
Thor: *stun* T-The...Winnipeg...Bombers...Bud's-Bud's team in the CFL...
Cobra: *Concern* Thor are you alright?
Pack: You look, pale.
Thor fell back to a sitting position...the final message ringing in his head.
IF YOU HAVE TIME, VISIT THE BLUE BOMBERS FOR ME. THERE'S A OLD FRIEND I WANT YOU TO MEET.
To Be Continued...
