The four of them sat down there, all completely exhausted. They admired Rumbo's cool new look and felt that he wasn't the same rabbit they saw when he committed suicide.

'Rumbo,' Talec started, 'why did you kill yourself, you KNEW it wouldn't stop Nebula, didn't you?'

'Yeah,' Rumbo replied, 'but the fact is I couldn't bear living as the rabbit I was.'

'So what are you now?' Louie asked.#

'...a renegade, both of TIME and of New Carrotus.'

'So what are you doing here?' Jelze asked, 'Not come back to take my position again are ya?'

'No, no, no' he replied, 'by the way congratulations on your new post. I haven't seen you or Louie for ages.'

'You know Louie?' Talec asked.

'Sure, helped him defeat a couple of vampires before...'

'He saved my life,' Louie interrupted, 'can't thank him enough.'

'When was the last time we properly saw each other, Rumbo?' Jelze asked him.

'Um...when I was....'

'About to leave Carrotus?'

'...Yes...' Rumbo let out a sigh.

'Why did you leave, Rumbo?' Jelze asked.

'...I can't explain.'

'Hey if its about Lori then we'll...'

'YOU KNOW?!'

'Um, yeah...' Talec replied, 'they wanted an explanation so I told them what I knew...'

'Oh thanks, mate!'

'Hey, no problem,' Talec replied sarcastically, 'listen Rumbo it doesn't matter anymore. You've gotten over her, right?'

Rumbo fell silent. He bowed his head in shame.

'Oh...' Jelze started.

'I love her, that's all I'm going to say.' Rumbo replied, as he got up. He was about to walk away, when suddenly....

'DIE YOU CURSED RABBIT!' came a loud voice as Blade jumped out from his hiding place, trying to hack at Rumbo's legs as he jumped down. Rumbo rolled out the way, realising he was wielding his sword. Drawing out his golden sword from nowhere, Rumbo went at Blade, aiming for the chest. Blade stepped to the side and went for his back, but Rumbo was already ahead of him, as per usual, travelling through time so that he was right behind Blade. Rumbo kicked Blade on the back so he fell to the ground, head first.

'Cool!' Louie said.

'GET THEM!' Blade shouted as millions of vampires came out from everywhere.

'JESUS!' Jelze shouted as they approached.

'WE CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL!' Talec said to them, 'WE BEST LEG IT!'

Rumbo didn't listen, he did a cartwheel above Blade and smacked his foot down on his chest at a 90 degree angle, creating a loud thud on impact. Blade scremed with agony.

'RUMBO!' Louie shouted, 'behind you!'

Rumbo, as quick as a flash, placed his sword away and drew out his blaster. His coat flapped in the wind as he let rip tuns of wooden bullets at the oncoming vampires. They all went down, one by one.

Rumbo saw the others leaving and so ran after them, leaving Blade alone on the floor. A few minutes later, with the vampires running after the four rabbits (one being a vampire himself), Blade managed to get up, with mysterious white eyes....



-NOW WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE HE'S GOT THOSE?-
