HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FANS OF AMERICA!
Here the Rusherz learn and celebrate the country they landed in...Liberty a BIT more than others by accident.
{So you every wonder why Liberty outfits were different between season 1 and 2; yeah here's the reason why ;)}
Good Ol' American Spirit
July 4, 1920...
The whole state of Washington DC was covered in flags and banners of the country. Liberty wandered the halls seeing the spirit of the country was more a glow today.
Liberty: Founding day. *smiles* Heh, glad to see their pride. I hope Freedom is having a good day with the helps he's giving.
Freedom was ADAMANT to help out today with the Parade. Ever since he had the talk with the Major General, Freedom wanted to make sure he shared his beliefs with the military and country as they did with him. Of course the Major General was happy to have Freedom's help with the parade. In fact, all the Rusherz wanted to join the festivities today.
Liberty: I'm really glad he's feeling better from that day.
It was then he heard something smash, freezing in his step as he ran to the sound.
.

Chef: Annnd-Perfect!
Beast smiled as he send the grilled hotdog to the air catching it in the bun, the Chef applauding as he and others smiled. The warm summer sun shining the outside area as the sounds of conversation and children laughter was heard throughout.
Beast: Awesome! *hands the hotdog to a child* I gotta say chef, this is giving me some good food ideas to put in stadiums. Can't enjoy the game on an empty stomach.
Chef: Good to see you are preparing for meals at the game. I must be honest, You are a wonderful student Beast.
Beast gave a grin as he continued to grill. Needless to say the Lion Rusher was cooking up a storm with all the food.
Thor: Gotta say Beast, you are in cloud nine with all this new cooking stuff.
Beast: *Smiles* I am, so many ways to cook other than open fire and soups. Chef has been a huge help teaching me so I'm looking forward to more lessons. Hey, you guys know when Liberty is coming?
They shruged as some ate the grilled food.
Talon: I know Freedom is getting ready for the parade later. Got word he's gonna get some cloths for the occasion
.

Major General Frank W. Coe: *strengthen jacket* And there we go. Take a look in the mirror Freedom.
Freedom turned, eyes widening as he looked at the outfit. He truly looked like the minutemen from the books now, his hat still on top of his head with the helmet removed. The Patriot Rusherz was beaming as he looked himself over.
Major General Frank W. Coe: We still need to work on how to measure Rusherz sizes and width, but i do believe we have come close.
Freedom: *Awe;joy* It's perfect! Haha! Look at me!
Major General Frank couldn't help but chuckle at Freedom's enthusiasm, he soon froze saluting and a man dressed fine and in badges walked in.
Man: At eas Major General.
He did so-then the man looked at the Rusher who was occupied looking over his new outfit in joy.
Man: Major General, is this the Rusherz you have told me about on the phone.
Major General Frank W. Coe: Yes sir. Freedom.
Freedom turned seeing the new face, curiosity forming over his face.
Major General Frank W. Coe: Freedom, this is General Charles Pelot Summerall.
Freedom saluted fast seeing the General.
Freedom: Freedom the Patriot Rusher sir!
The General gave a respected nod, a small smile forming.
General Charles Pelot Summerall: At eas Freedom.
Freedom let go as the General looked him over.
General Charles Pelot Summerall: Must say, the tailor did a fine job. I must thank you Rusher for your support today on this important celebration.
Freedom: I should thank you sir, for giving me this and allowing me to learn more about the defense and offense force of your country.
The General couldn't help but chuckle.
General Charles Pelot Summerall: Must say, never heard our military be called that before. You have no need to worry about serious formalities with me Freedom.
Freedom smiled as all three walked out to where the ceremony would begin.

The man SCREAMED as he ran through the streets as he was being chased, the book he had stolen in his arms. He had no idea the rumors were true, NOR THAT ONE WAS STILL THERE.
?: GET BACK HERE WITH THAT BOOK!
The being chasing him with fire in hand plowed through carts, the cloths being torn off due to the size being way to big. So here he was in boxers before he plowed through silver curtains...and still running.
.

Soar looked around the area with Woodrow Wilson and Edith, waiting for someone.
Soar: You think they'll be here in time before the parade?
President Woodrow Wilson: I do believe so-
?: FATHER! MOTHER!
Woodrow Wilson and Edith turned with beaming smiles and eyes as three women ran over, tackling them into hugs.
President Woodrow Wilson: *joyous laughter* HAHA MY DEAR DAUGHTERS! I'm so glad you made it!
Edith Wilson: It's so good to see you all!
Soar smiled seeing his daughters as a man walked up.
Man: It's good to see you Father, mother.
The hugs stopped as Woodrow handshaked the gentleman.
President Woodrow Wilson: It is good to see you as well Francis.
?: GRANDPA! GRANDMA!
Soon Soar jumped out fo the way as five kids ran up to the two hugging them as they hugged back with smiles and laughter.
...It was then the new faces saw Soar, turning to him as he sheepishly waved.
Soar: H-Hello. I suppose you ladies are Margaret, Jessie and Eleanor?
The ladies smiled warmly nodding as Soar gave a curt bow.
Soar: Soar, the Jet's Rusher. You parents have told me so much about you.
Margaret Wilson: I know, they been talking about you in the letters and calls we made. It is an honor to meet you as well, and we look forward to meeting the others.
The two nodded as their children and the man came up to them.
Jessie Wilson: This is my Husband Francis Bowes Sayre Sr., as well as my two children Francis Jr., Eleanor, and Woodrow.
Soar smiled at the last name as he went up to the one year old.
Soar: Hello there, your grandpa is a really sweet man so your gonna be just as sweet too.
The infant smiled as did his parents and aunts, Eleanor walking up with her children.
Eleanor Wilson: My husband was unable to make it, but these are my daughters Ellen and Mary.
Soar gave them a curt nod and bow, making them smile with a crusty.
Francis Bowes Sayre Sr.: Must say father and mother, these Rusherz are quite the gentlemen.
Edith Wilson: I know, even when one got drunk his first instinct was to defend a women. Chivalry is in their blood.
Soar turned to the president and his wife.
Soar: Liberty should be joining us during the Parade.
President Woodrow Wilson: Well then everyone, let's us begin!
.
.

He vision only showed that man, that theft. He was charging his way as his fire blazed as he ran in the alleyways. He had to catch him-he jumped and tackling him but the thief still ran screaming in terror.
.
.
The band played as all watched the parade, the Rusherz watching in awe from their place with the president's family as they waved to the crowd, as the music rang and the confetti fell. Floats went down the path as the crowd cheered.
Stampede: What a event! All this for a country.
Beast: I know. HEY THERE'S FREEDOM!
Freedom marched with the military as a special guest.
Peck: He's got some nice threads on, looks good on him.
Freefall: Y-Yeah...where in the world is Liberty he should be-
...
The sounds of a man screaming in terror ran as he ran past the Rusherz and nearly hit the military if not for-well, the Rusherz had to do a double take as the man was thrown to the wall and what was choke holding him flew into the air on onto a tall pillar on the float.
Liberty: *holding book; waving torch* AND STAY DOWN YOU CRIMINAL-
Rusherz and President's family: LIBERTY!?
The Rusherz as well as Presidents family starred. The Military stared at him as well still keeping in beat to their march.
Liberty was confused-TIL HE LOOKED AT HIMSELF...He was wearing a silver curtain that wrapped around him like a toga, holding the retrieved book and torch raised in the air.
HE. WENT. RED. AS HE FROZE IN PLACE IN EMBARRASSMENT. Liberty looked around seeing the crowd now going wild at him as he kept in place.
President Woodrow Wilson:-Well then. That's something.
Francis Bowes Sayre Sr.: I mean-talk about taking the American Spirit to a whole new level. His name is Liberty to soo-
Toro: Pardon but huh?
Edith Wilson: We recently in years were gifted a statue that Liberty is emulating. The Statue of Liberty.
Freefall:-Okay that is WAY TO CONVINIANT. The crowd still is cheering.
Margaret Wilson: I don't think the crowd knows this was not planned.
Lasso: They SURE don't seem to mind then, in fact i think their loving this.
The parade continued on with Liberty froze in place as 'Three cheers for the red, white and Blue" played on.
.
.
Once it was over-Liberty fell and onto his knees as he landed, his face red as he covered it.
General Charles Pelot Summerall: Liberty?
He turned seeing the General, Major General and Freedom come over.
Liberty:-I swear it was unintentional-
?:THAT WAS INCREDIBLE!
The newbies and watchers ran over surrounding him in awe.
Recruit 1: That was amazing! I never knew you Rusherz had such passion!
Citizen 1: Indeed! You must to this again next year! Such a tribute i was touched!
Liberty was flustered till both high military ranks calmed the crowd as the others ran up to them.
Edith Wilson: Liberty are you-on my!
Liberty was blushing like mad shaking.
Liberty: I-I am so sorry i-i just-*hands book to Woodrow Wilson* Get this back.
Woodrow Wilson gave a quiet thank you.
President Woodrow Wilson: Liberty, while this was-surprising, i am grateful that you are dedicated to making sure the day went on anyway. Through, you may have unknowingly started a tradition now.
Freedom: How so?
All humans smiled shaking their heads.
Jessie Wilson: We've been getting questions on where to find you in the parade for NEXT YEAR.
Liberty groaned as he facepalmed.
Spot: Looks like you got your first lore Lib.
Humans: Lore?
Major General Frank W. Coe: How so?
Soar: Well, lore for us Rusherz means it is a staple on the legacy that will carry on for eternity. IN THIS CASE, Liberty now dressing up as the Statue of Liberty.
Liberty had calmed down-then sighed with a smile.
Liberty: Alright, Alright-I'll do this NEXT YEAR if it makes them spare the house from the barrage of questions. Might as well create our own traditions for these holidays so better get the ball roiling.
Liberty got up thanks to a hand from the General.
General Charles Pelot Summerall: *smiles* You sure take things in strive.
Freedom: Well, sometimes you gotta change the game-plan. Like i said, if we humans have to get use to you insanity you'll have to get use to ours.
They smiled as they walked away to their next destination.
.

Dusk had fallen at last, Beast carrying a large cake with the chef to the crowded. The cake decorated in red, white and blue with tiny stars.
Beast: *triumphed* TADA!
The daughters oo'ed at the dessert with the kids eyes beaming. Everyone applauded at the fine dessert presented to them
Chef: Please enjoy!
President Woodrow Wilson: *warm smiles* Thank you all so much.
With that they cut into the cake and ate.
Pick-Ax: Gotta say, you folks know how to celebrate your country.
Freedom: Yeah, this is one big way to celebrate a country's birthday.
Edith Wilson: Oh it's not over yet-look to the sky.
The Rusherz turned and-
BANG!
Their eyes widen in awe as the night sky lite up with fireworks. They dropped everything as they ran over seeing the show in the sky.
Liberty:-*tear falls* It's beautiful.
They all smiled as they joined the Rusherz, watching the fireworks in the sky. This was a Forth of July they would not forget, nor would other generations in future celebrations. At that moment, the humans present were happy that the Rusherz were able to celebrate with them.

Far in the untamed nature, the sounds of a sword cutting foliage was heard. Not seen by the beings resembling their foe. He had to find them..that's when he saw a old tattered newspaper on the ground, reading it over.
?: WASHINGTON DC. That'll take days on foot. But-i can't give up. I'll be there once the snow falls.
-The bring gripped the logo of a circle with a fire behind it, his blue eyes DETERMINED to reach his friends.
So-whose this being far from his friends?
Leave your answer in your review if you wish, but your answer shall come when the season of tidings come ;).
