Chapter 1
!
After the feast Matthias was told to escort Cornflower and her family home. They're in a small cart being pulled by the much larger and stronger Constance a badger. When they near Saint Ninian's Church, they hear a loud rumbling, and Constance quickly pulls the cart into the bushes. What they saw made them froze as a giant wagon being pulled by 6 massive horses came down the road. The figure in the driver's seat of the wagon is a giant compared to even Constance. (1)
"Is that a human?" Cornflower ask having only heard of humans in stories.
"Yes, I seen one before in my youth," Constance said remembering the only time before she seen a human.
The human is a female with long red hair with yellow stripes on it. Causing Constance’s eyes to widen as she remembers the young human girl that suddenly appeared one night at the Abby. She and the others drove her off, the girl tried to get back in several times before they finally managed to drive her away for good. Now she has return.
The Woodlanders watch as the massive wagon rolled by them, that when Constance got a better look at it. Is a human size gypsy wagon that she has seen travelers use, a house on wheels. Also so massive it takes more than a pair of horses to pull the weight and what’s on top of the wagon, which is a large wooden structure strapped down by ropes on top of it. Looking like a ship, that has rats, weasels, stoats, sables, ferrets, foxes, martens, wolverines, and other vermin on it.
“No,” Matthias eyes widen seeing a large rat in front of the ship. Someone he remembers too well in his nightmares.
Cluny the Scourge is an enormous black male bilge sea rat and horde leader with unknown origins. It is believed that he once was involved with seafaring, and came from distant jungles. Cluny had one eye, the other was lost in a battle with a pike and covered by an eye patch. He lost his eye and the pike lost its life. (2)
Cluny wears a cloak made of batwings that was fastened at his throat with the skull of a mole. His war helmet was adorned with blackbird feathers and stag beetle horns. One of Cluny's most distinguishing features - as well as his primary weapon - was his own tail, which was long, powerful, and whip-like. In battle, he fastened a poison spike to its tip and used it to lash out at enemies.
The rumbling didn’t stop as 3 more massive gypsy wagons, each pulled by their own team of 6 massive horses followed behind the lead one. Each wagon has its own ship strapped down on top of them, with a crew of vermin on it. Each of the wagons has a human driver all females, one with orange hair, the other purple, and the last blue.
Constance’s eyes widen as she saw on the last wagon ship is crewed by ratels. She has only seen one once, when her grandfather took her to a port town. The ratel was apart of a crew that had dock to the port town to resupply and he was in a tavern feasting on a leg of ham glazed with honey. She learned that he’s from the south and they're even fiercer than wolverines, thanks to having to deal with a lot more predators in the south lands then in the north. Their skin is like armor and very loose, allowing them to fight animals that are much bigger than they are.
Once the 4 wagons pass by heading for Saint Ninian’s Church, the Redwallers headed back to Redwall.

Later -
Saint Ninian's Church, also known as St. Ninian's, was an old church located southwest of Redwall Abbey, just down the road. The building's origins are a bit hazy. According to a song passed down through Windred's family, the clan of a Mossflower mouse named Ninian had grown too large for their abode, so Ninian decided to build a new home for them. However, he was so lazy that his wife performed most of the construction, prompting her to erect a sign stating "This Ain't Ninian's!" Generations of weathering eventually faded off the first three letters and the exclamation point, causing the sign to read "Saint Ninian's". This reportedly caused the building, when it was rediscovered seasons later, to be mistaken for a church.
The wagons stop and the four human women untied the ropes that strap the wooden ships on top of their wagons. Once untied the redhead hands glowed as she lifted the four boats up in the air, the vermin crews onboard held on tight. She place them in a clearing near the old church.
The crews on board the ships got off and began setting up camp, unloading tents and baggage from the ships holds. One of the ships are crewed by the former camp followers, who use to do the nursing of the wounded, sowing, washing, acted as merchants, and outright prostitution. They still do that but now also work as the logistics, keeping the food supply, materials, and other goods in order so that the army has what they need to fight. (3)
“How long do we wait Sunset?” Cluny ask walking up to the redhead.
“The portal will open again in 29 days, when there’s a new full moon. The only problem is the Abby, those who lived there just keep on attacking me and refused to listen even when it was clear I could understand and speak to them, trapping me here for the last 10 years,” Sunset said. (4)
“Yes but if you didn’t we wouldn’t have met,” Adagio said, behind her Aria and Sonata are taking care of the horses.
“Yes that’s the only good thing that came out of them trapping me here,” Sunset said.
“And our deal?” Cluny ask.
“Yes, you and your army help me take my birthright and I’ll give you your own land to rule,” Sunset said.
“Good,” Cluny said who is tried of being a nomadic warlord and wants a place where he can rules. And being a lord under Sunset wouldn’t be too bad, if she continues to treat him the same as she has since his horde came across her.
Cluny was surprise that the human could understand him and his horde, and that she could use magic. Having been trap in this world for years, Sunset had learned to use her magic in her new body. Which the humans of this world feared magic, the ones in the village that Sunset was living in before being chased out as a witch. They got to talking and teamed up, with Sunset being able to bring Cluny and his horde unseen into human settlements where they could go around stealing valuables and coins, which Sunset in turn can use to buy what they needed.
Sunset also had him and his horde destroy the village she was chased out of. She had them steal a pair of horses and a wagon, loading it with all the money that the vermin horde could find and load it with as much food and supplies as the wagon could hold along with what the horses could pull. Then had the horde released the farm animals, dump animal waste into the village well, set fire to the storehouses, granaries, and the homes. Sunset took off while the village was in chaos as the farm animals are running away or running into the buildings that are on fire, with the villagers trying to fight them. Or trying to break into the storehouses or granaries that were barricaded from the inside thanks to the vermin blocking the doors. And on the way out she cause a landslide to block the river that ran through the village, making the river flow away from it instead.
All because Sunset had created a magical urn that could produce water for herself as she wanted clean water to drink, which was apparently a sacrilegious act. On the way to Redwall, Sunset and the others stop near the village to see what happen, and found mass graves and only a single family left living in an isolated farm. The family recognized her as the witch, and beg her to use her magic to help them, the river has ran dried, the animals have all died and been eaten, and the crops have all turn brown. Sunset just told them that she won’t as their faith doesn’t allow them to use magic or let anyone else use magic. So she’ll just leave them to die and they can be happy to die for their faith. Leaving the family of 5 to die.
“What should be done to the Redwallers?” Cluny ask.
“They either listen this time or we just wipe them out,” Sunset said.

Another new story, and it's from Redwall's world, hmm?
And you depict the Redwallers as the "bad guys". Because they are too racist/xenophobic to tell the difference between a actual good "Vermin" fellow, to a actual evil person?
And the "Vermin" aren't as "bad" in this?
Look, I never actually read the old books or seen that movie. But, I could hypothesize that didn't the "Vermin" attack them first?
Or was this a simple misunderstanding, and toxic bias views got in the way for cooperation and peace between the animal critters?

The Redwall books just have such a white and black morel with only the woodlanders can ever be good. That I just lost all interest in the books. As the Outcast of Redwall has the woodlanders being as evil as they wanted to the ferret in the book who never was given a chance to be anything but what they saw and treated him as.
11678218
I looked up in the book's wiki. And it says that the Ferret was actually still evil in the first place, because of his "nature" or something like that.
11678352
That’s only because of how he was always blamed for everything and never allowed to be anything else by the other so called good animals.
The author of the books got lots of angry letters about how he enforced that all vermin are always evil. Which I know happen as I wrote to him about that.
11678365
I never thought of you actually reaching to the original author himself, and wrote an angry criticism letter about how his stories are morally/ethically controversial.
P.S. Wasn't that particular book made in 1995?
Did you wrote that angry letter even back then?
11678376
Yes I did as I had a classroom pet rat which me and my classmates like and the books were just mean to rats.
11678384
One more thing, were the "Vermins" really that "bad"?
Were they bad because they were mistreated in the first place cliche, and the Woodlanders are the bad guys this whole time. Or were they bad at the start?
What was the history on why the woodlanders despise the "vermins", was there a war or something? Did the vermin's attack first?
If it's the former, I guess Sunset and the Dazzlings will convince or force the woodlanders to actually apologize, and change their bias views. ( And also have the actual BAD vermin characters to apologize for their misdeeds. )
11678384 MEAN?
Sure. And people around the Unit 731 compound only got non-serious skin rashes.
SO following THIS story
11678410
Yeah the author wrote that the woodland critters can do no wrong even when like the squirrels who kill others for fun are just misguided but any vermin is always evil no matter what. I wrote the letter when I was in the 6 grade I think. Hard to remember
11678398
The book series is full of plot holes that show up in the first book like a human size barn and the horse and cart that clearly shows that there are humans around but afterwords aren’t in the series anymore. So I’m changing some things in the book series.
11678414 Hopefully I can get into this story. I've only scene a few episodes of the cartoon adaptation and couldn't get into it passed wanting to kill everyone so the decor would be better
11678414
The f***!!!!???? "Misguided"? Over murder!?
11678420
Were the characters really that terrible, that you want to kill them all?
11678424
Insane troll logic and why I don’t like the series
11678427 "holy" and full of themselves and their SUPPOSED righteousness of the "good guys" Seriously, if you have constipation don't wait until is solidifies as it wasn't a "holy" implement that was lodged up their collective asses
The "bad" guys were almost cringe in their need to bad, for they art the bad guys. If they had killed a few more, while it would not have made the show a comedy, it wouldn't have hurt as much either
11678430
I bet that Sunset will mention this, and call them now for the audacity to think that they're still the "good guys" even after that happened.
It doesn't help that they were being very rude to her when she was just a little girl!?
11678436
They have the mindset that all humans are always evil no matter what and need to be driven off and can’t understand that by doing that to all humans just results in all humans seeing all sapient animals are pests that need to be killed off.
11678442
Wow, what bunch of assholes.
And isn't it very insulting and ironic that Sunset wasn't even a human in the first place, she is also a "sapient animal".
Not only that, but Sunset is "royal blood" too.
If she told them the truth, and have backup evidence by showing them the portal to Equestia, and showing them her true form. They would actually feel ashamed of themselves.
And even if she wasn't human, it's still pretty messed up to depict them that humans are "all evil", even the actual good/nicest humans or children that done nothing wrong.
Same with the "vermin" too.
The foxes and ferrets aren't that bad. And the rats are okay too.
Sunset will definitely get her payback.
11678442
BLOODY but also a good watch
Depending on the story you're reading.

True but not in the first book it isn’t
11678709
Fair enough.
Snakes are bad news in general, no matter which book you're reading.
