Lori and Spaz sat down next to each other in their tiny cell, both truly scared. They didn't really know what had happened, they didn't understand like Rumbo or Talec (and now Jelze). They just knew that they were in big trouble...



'Im scared, bro,' Lori said to Spaz, cuddling him, almost in tears.

'It'll be okay, sis,' Spaz replied, 'theres gotta be a way out of here somewhere...'

Lori was beginning to miss Dr Jones, 'I hope Jones is alright.'

'So do I.'

But she wasn't just thinking of Jones, 'Oh god!' she said to herself, crying.

'Hey sis, I'm sure hes alright. I mean his arms a minigun most of the...'

'Im not taking about him,' she explained through tears, 'I mean...Rumbo...'

'Oh god, yeah.' Spaz added, suddenly remembering how he had stabbed himself to try and stop Nebula from ruling the planet. Unfortunately it hadn't worked...

Lori thought to herself:

'Oh Rumbo, I remember the first time we met. I fell for you and I couldn't stop. But I love Jones more, even though I had wanted us to be together. Im really sorry...If only you felt THE SAME WAY....'



Meanwhile, wandering endlessly through TIME....

He walked slowly, looking down at the ground, his eyes angry and his heart furious. His mind was only on Carrotus, how he had tried to save it and yet to no avail the New Carrotus regieme lives on...

TIME suddenly found Rumbo Rabbit walking alone in a lonesome part of TIME...

'...rumbo.......'

Rumbo was angry: 'SHUT UP! LEAVE ME ALONE!' he shouted, swiping his hands in front of him to ward TIME off.

'...rumbo...please...I'm...'

'Sorry? SORRY? HOW ON CARROTUS CAN YOU BE SORRY??? WHY AM I STILL ALIVE, WHY? I WANTED TO END THIS, I WANTED TO STOP THE PAIN...'

'...rumbo...'

'IM NOT YOUR SLAVE ANYMORE!' he began to cry through anger, 'IM NOT GONNA DO WHAT YOU TELL ME....'

'..you don't have to...'

'YEAH, RIGHT!'

'...Carrotus needs you...'

'WHY, SO I CAN RUIN MORE PEOPLE'S LIVES...'

'...what do you mean?'

'DAMN IT TIME I LOVE LORI! I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HER! I USED TO DENY IT BECAUSE OF MY PARENTS DYING, I THOUGHT I'D....'

'..loose her?'

'....yes....oh god...' Rumbo wiped his eyes to stop the continuous tears from falling down his burning cheeks, 'I want Lori more then anything, but I don't want to hurt her or Dr Jones. I want her to be happy, that's why I left her and Carrotus...that's why I didn't leave the note....'

'...the note saying you wanted her...'

'...yes...that note....I still have it I think...i'm not gonna use it though..'

'...rumbo...get a hold of yourself....you don't have to be like this...'

'THEN WHAT can I be like?'

'....a hero....'

Rumbo suddenly gave up speaking and kept walking.

'..don't deny it, Rumbo, you have the power to warp through TIME....and there's another power...'

Rumbo stopped suddenly, 'Another power?'

'...one you obtained from your second death...when you stabbed yourself....Nebula's powers....'

Rumbo was gob-smacked, 'Nebula's powers, the cretor's powers of creation...I HAVE THEM?' he sounded very surprised.

'...not exactly YOU rumbo...but your other half...your second personality...'

'My what?'

'...after killing yourself you and Nebula died together, sort of fusing your powers with him. Don't worry he doesn't have yours since it was only a part of him that was inside you...therefore meaning that he is still alive...'

'Go on...'

'..you already had a second personality that was just in your mind...now it seems to be living inside you, off of Nebula's powers...'

'What does this mean?'

'I don't know, but this other side of you might be evil, I do not know...'

'So what must I do now, I mean what do you SUGGEST?'

'...meet me in TIME central. I will appear as your father before he died....'

Rumbo didn't say anything. Instead he began to run towards TIME central, his second personality hearing every word....





-Quite an emotional scene that was between Rumbo and TIME wasn't it? -
