The Re-start of the Rushzone
The sounds of a trunk honking and the thump of someone hitting the ground was heard. The crowd soon swarmed round the being-panic soon turning to confusion and worry as they whispered, one calling 911. The area around the truck was covered in large red feathers and on the ground, a broken helmet.
1920, January 4; Night...
Nurse: Doctor, thank Goodness your here! The patent is on the 4th floor.
Doctor: Any information on how the patent got here?
The Nurse nodded as she followed the Doctor down the hall.
Nurse: Well, it's seems that the patent was hit by a moving truck, but by some chance, he only got a small concussion...*Worried* But there's something else-
The doctor opened the door of room 432, he saw no-one in the bed, but he did see the said patent looking out the window of the night sky...He had red feathers, a yellow beck and talons, and he was wearing a broken Helmet. What's more, here looked like a small humanoid cardinal.
Doctor: T-Th-That's the patent?
Nurse: I know, he won't give me any details...all he just say is 'I need to get back to the others'.
Doctor: Are you saying there might be more of...*looks at the creature* Whatever he is?
Nurse: I-I don't know...but -Sighs- He's been doing this all day, he looks out the window sadly, like his missing something.
Doctor: You may leave for today, I'll try and talk to him.
The Nurse leaves as the Doctor closes the door and walks up to the creature...upon closer examination, the creature looked like a Cardinal.
Doctor: *Sits on the bed near the Cardinal; about to speak*
Cardinal: *Worried* Have you ever felt the whole world is rested upon your shoulder. That you felt like you fail...I want to get back to my friends...my family..Please...
The doctor, not knowing what to do with this information, got up and left, seeing the the Cardinal have tears in his eyes.
Doctor: Does he think he's captured...*Grabs a phone and dials; answers* Hello? Yes, can you bring the president here...there's something he must see.
.

One hour later...
The cardinal continued to watch the sky, when he heard a new voice, and turns around. It was a man, with a very impressive suit on and holding a cane.
Man: May I come in?
The cardinal stared at him in a bit of fear,but nodded.
Man: *Sits nexts to the Cardinal on the bed* Well, let me introduce myself... my name is Thomas Woodrow Wilson, I'm the president of the USA.
Cardinal: *fear subsiding* President ...so...you're not a Blitzbot? Your flesh?
Woodrow Wilson: A blitzbot? No...We're not machines, we're Humans.
Cardinal: *confused* Humans? I've never heard of a Human. Sorry, back on my planet we just had Rusherz.
Woodrow Wilson: *Shocked* Wait...you're an Alien?
Cardinal: No, I'm a Humanoid...my species are called Rusherz. To us, you're the Aliens.
Woodrow Wilson: May I ask what and who are you?
Cardinal: I'm Peck, the Cardinal Rusher, Protector of the Cardinals Shard. *Pulls it out* These shards are what used to be the most powerful object in the galaxies, all 32 shards form the core.
Woodrow Wilson: Do your parents know about this? Where are they so we can contact them?
Peck: *Pauses, tears fall a bit* T-Their dead, Sudden Death killed them, he's also the one who attack our planet, we had to destroy it in order to prevent him from getting the core...
Woodrow Wilson: *Gasps; his face becomes calm* I-I am so sorry...Maybe, we can help you and your friends out...
Peck: *Surprised* Really! Y-You'll let me see the others an-and your gonna help us? *Woodrow Nods; graditude* T-Thank you! This will mean a lot to the guys, there not that far from here, I'll show you where they are tomorrow!
The nexts day, woods...
Peck: Um, was it really necessary to bring the big guys with you?
Woodrow Wilson: *Walking with two bodyguards* absolutely. In the past, Presidents were assassinated during their term in office.
Peck: Why?
Woodrow Wilson: Sometimes it's the way the President's want to change somethings.
Peck: Well, I'm positive we would never do that. We Rusherz believe that everyone has their own uniqueness, we believe in teamwork, perseverance, Fair-play and Good sportsmanship will fixs a situation...change can be a good thing to us, sometimes.
Woodrow Wilson: That's a nice way to live by. Wish that was the case, few years back, we had a huge war with another country... It was one of the deadliest battles we've faced.
Peck: You tried wearing helmets?
Woodrow Wilson: Helmets?
Peck: Yeah, like the one I'm wearing.
Woodrow Wilson: I don't think that would of help back then.
Peck: Suits yourself...
Voice: PECK! PECK WHERE ARE YOU!?
Peck: Hey! That's sound like-
A Rusher, dressed in an old leather helmet and wore Green and white pants, came out of the bushes, he was dirty and covered in leaves.
Peck: *Joy* PACK! *Runs up and Tackles Pack in a hug, knocking him down*
Pack: *Smiles, Relived, gets up* Oh I was worried you were dead!
Peck: Do I look dead?
Pack: *laughs, then notices Wilson, confused* Mind telling me what that thing is?
Peck: Pack, this is Woodrow Wilson, he's a Human and He's here to help us...he's also the President of the USA.
Pack: Is that where we are?
Woodrow Wilson: Yes, I see you are very close to Peck.
Pack: Yep, He's sort of my adopted Brother. He and another traveled with me when we were younger, before we met the others.
Woodrow Wilson: *Small smile* Aww, well then, mind showing us where the others are.
Pack: Sure...*Frowns, then sighs* But I must warn you, some of us are not in the best of shape.
.
.
Few minutes later, Cave entrance...
Peck: GUYS! I'M HOME!
Bodyguard 1#: Are you sure their safe sir?
Woodrow Wilson: Why wouldn't they be?
Something came out of the cave, it was an Orange Bear Rusher, wearing blue pants, and he was dirty.
Bodyguard 1# and 2#: *Points guns at the Bear* STAY BEHIND US SIR, WE'LL HANDLE-
Peck and Pack: WAIT! THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL BEAR! HE'S A RUSHER!
They stop and lowered their guns.
Bodyguard 1# and 2#: Sorry.
Bear: Heh, that's alright...not the first time someone had me at gun point *Looks at Peck; smiles*...Peck, you alight? I didn't see you return last night.
Peck: I'm fine Grizzly...Thanks to these guys, their called Humans.
Grizzly: Cool, they're here to help us.
Woodrow Wilson: Of course...Is this the place where you've been hiding during the past month.
Peck: Yep, I'll take you to our leader.
Woodrow Wilson: *To the Bodyguards* Stay here.
Both saluted as the human and the three Rusherz went in.
.
.
Few minutes later, inside...
Woodrow Wilson: *Shocked* Oh my...
The scene was quite shocking and sad. Half of the Rusherz had multiple injuries, few were sick, and there were only a handful helping them who were healthy, all were the same though, dirty and their clothes were tattered.
Peck: Yeah, that's what Sudden Death can do.
Woodrow Wilson: *Shocked* This is horrible. I can't beleive this monster put you through all this.
As they walked, all of the Rusherz were staring at him in awe. He could see some go back in fear and defensiveness, one being a panther guarding a spotted Rusher. They finale stop at two Rusherz, One look like he wore the Statue of Liberty crown, the other was a Blue Lion, with a bruised eye and a broken arm.
Lion Rusherz: *Gets the Rusher attention* Hey Liberty, look what Peck found...
Liberty: *Turns to Peck* Peck...Wha-Who's this?
Peck: He's here to help us...*Turns to the others* all of us, he's not a threat. He's a creature called a Human...his name is Thomas Woodrow Wilson and he's the president of where we landed, called USA.
Raider Rusherz: *Raspy* He's Here-to-Coughs-to help us.
Peck: Yeah... He's gonna help us protect the shards.
Woodrow Wilson: Correct...and maybe it'll be best if we talk somewhere more, warm for you. How about the White house?
The Rusherz turned to eachother, and nod.
Seahawk Rusherz: Okay Wilson...mind finding some transportation. Some of us are still tired from this harsh weather.
Woodrow Wilson: Way head of you...You can all stay with us at the White House.
White House, Hours later...
When the Rusherz arrived, it was a shock to the staff and Wilson's wife. The injured and sick were taken to the first aid room immediately, soon they were taken to get a hot meal, all cleaned and bandage up. Liberty and Wilson were alone in the State Dining Room, both having hot tea and some soup as the president wished to talk to the leader of what he could see were survivors of a fallen planet now.
Liberty: *Puts down his tea* I want to thank you again for helping us out sir.
Woodrow Wilson: It was no trouble...Mind telling me what your species are all about?
Liberty: Well, physical should help first. A Rusher has three fingers and a thumb on each hand, slightly enlarged forearms, an oversized head, a reduced torso and no visible neck. We, me and the others, are mostly represented by our shards. We basically have our own powers too; For example, I have a torch here, it's called the Super Torch, a mega-powered flamethrower, observe.
Liberty heads towards the fire place, aiming his Torch, then blast fire at it, lighting a warm fire inside.
Woodrow Wilson: *Awe; Applauding* Amazing! I never seen anyone do that before!
Liberty smiled, bowed, then head back to his seat at the table.
Liberty: Now, mind telling me a little bit more about your species?
He was about to answer, when a women came in. She had short hair and wore a beautiful dress. Her eyes looked at Liberty.
Women: Darling, who is this?
Woodrow Wilson: Of course, Edith this is Liberty, i have discovered he's a being called a Rusher. Liberty, this is my wife, Edith.
Liberty walked up to her and bowed.
Liberty: It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Edith Wilson.
Edith Wilson: *Smiles* Such a gentleman. It's very nice to meet you. *Looks over her shoulder* Does this belong to you also?
A spotted Feline Rusher peek out from behind her dress. Woodrow Wilson remembered seeing him back in the cave.
Liberty: Spot?
Spot: *shy* I-I-I got worried.
Liberty walked over to Spot, then rubs his back.
Liberty: It's Okay He's not here...*Turns to the couple* Sorry, what happened affected Spot very badly so he's a little shy.
Woodrow Wilson: He's quite young...
Liberty: Yeah, we found him on the doorstep of the core temple, his parents had to give him up in order to protect him from Sudden Death...They perished.
Edith Wilson: -Gasps- Oh the poor thing...
Woodrow Wilson: Why does he hate you?
Liberty: He want's nothing more but power...
Spot: Our ancestors fought sudden death...Till finally, we- the 32 Rusherz- were put in charge...however he knew this and tried to kill us as kids...he killed our parents instead...we became orphans, till we grew up and vowed to protect the core form Sudden Death. It does not help that a planet next to us, Anticoria, hates us for some reason.
Liberty: A month ago, he came and we stood in his and his army given to him by Lord Zatu way. We fought for days; we got hurt, the land became barren, and we had to send other survivors out of the planet...until finally we had no other solution-but to grab the core and run. I-It *A tear falls* very hard to talk about still...
The couple stood there in shock...How could there be such a creature to do this...The wars of past on earth...they were all combined on the Rusherz planet.
Woodrow Wilson: *shock* I-I-I-My gosh.
Liberty: I know this is very shocking and horrifying to you...but if we don't fight back...The universes, even this one, will see the same fate as our planet. Lord Zatu and Sudden Death will get their way and it frightens me at the concept.
Woodrow Wilson: *Calms down* How do we stop them?
Liberty tosses a football to him, the football being battered and scuffed.
Liberty: Football, that's how we fight back. Tackles, throws, punts, kicks, you name it. The power of the core will run through a team, their fans, and their city. Each Rusher has a particular team for example; I'm the Giants, Spot's the Jaguars, and so on.
Woodrow Wilson: Well we did play it for a while...
That caught the two's interest hearing the planet plays football.
Spot: What happened?
Liberty: It's was that war you told Peck about right?
Woodrow Wilson: That...and the 1918 flu pandemic.
Liberty: *eye raise* The flu...How could a little flu stop you?
Woodrow Wilson: Have you never experience the Spanish flu? It quite contagious...I should know, I caught it two years ago.
Spot: Well, Pillage has this thing called Scarlet fever, and none of us are affected by it.
Now the two humans were caught off guard hearing this.
Edith Wilson: How is that possible?
Liberty: Well we Rusherz can get sick, but we don't spread the virus. Our body systems don't have the capability to do that.
The couple turned to eachother, then back the two Rusherz...Liberty held out his hand.
Liberty: Mr. Woodrow Wilson, What do you say...Will you help us?
Woodrow Wilson looked at the football, then at Liberty.
Woodrow Wilson: *shakes Liberty's hand, smiling* Very well...You have our support.
Liberty and Spot cheered with joy and relief, Spot tackling Liberty into a hug. The couple chuckled at their joy.
Liberty: *Happy/relief* Thank you! THANK YOU SO MUCH! *Turns to Spot* Let's tell the other!
The two Rusherz ran out of the room.
Edith Wilson: Honey...maybe we can tell the reporter about our new friends at tomorrow's speech.
Woodrow Wilson: Good thinking honey...Tomorrow, they will make their debut. Oh boy folks are not gonna beleive this.
To be continued...
