'Nice one, Rumbo!' Louie said

'Cool!' Wild Angel pronounced.

'....' Dr Jones said, 'you're alive?'

'Don't ask me how, Dr, as I don't know..' Rumbo said with a small smile.

'Guys!' Talec said, 'what about Jelze, hes dying here!'

'Yeah and what will be left is Jelze the vampire!' Louie added

'We have to treat him,' Wild Angel said, 'follow us...'

Talec picked up Jelze from Louie's arms and followed Wild Angel and Dr Jones into the forest, who was also followed by Rumbo and Louie...

Within a forest they went up to a specific tree which, up close, didn't look like a tree at all. Wild Angel knocked on it twice and waited for a response. Suddenly, from a nearby bush, a rabbit came out from a tunnel that was secretly buried underneath the bush. The rabbit was Black Sheep...

'Hey Angel what was that racket? ' he asked, then suddenly realised who was present, 'Talec? Louie? Jelze? RUMBO?'

Rumbo smiled, 'Yup I'm still alive, Black!'

Black rushed down the tunnel so the others could follow him in. The tunnel lead to a large underground base that held about twenty other rabbits, some that had never been seen before...

'This is our small base,' Wild Angel joked, 'where our resistance is being held.'

'I see,' Talec replied, 'so what is your name, Angel is it?'

'Just call me Nobara.'

'Okay, Nobara?'

They both smiled.

Louie looked around to see if there was anyone he knew. There wasn't...

All the rabbits present saw Rumbo and stopped what they were doing, just staring back at him.

'Um...' Rumbo started, blushing slightly.

'Yes this is Rumbo Rabbit!' Nobara commented, 'he saved our lives from one of those giant robots, again!'

'What do you mean again?' Rumbo asked.

'There was another one a few hours back, when the world first became New Carrotus...it attacked and then disappeared...'

'You sure it wasn't the same one?'

'No, it left to head West and had the ame GARGANTUAN written on iit. It was much bigger then TITAN.'

'Great!' Louie said out loud, 'I'm useless against those things. I can only help against vampires...'

'Which reminds me, Talec said, carrying Jelze over to the centre of the room, 'Jelze needs to be treated, he's been poisoned by a vampire.'

'Um...by me actually....' Louie explained, 'when Nebula took my mind over...'

'Nebula's been doing a lot of that,' Rumbo commented, 'he's taken over Blade's mind so he can use TIME travel...'

'And he's brought those vampires from the past!' Louie added.

'What about the creations?' Dr Jones said.

'The what?' Talec asked.

'Those rabbits back there that were being controlled by Nebula...'

'So that's why you shot them, Rumbo said with a smile, 'thought you'd turn nasty on your own kind...'

Dr Jones looked at him and smiled slightly, 'Still got your old sense of humour, huh Rumbo?'

'Thats the only thing I still got,' Rumbo said, admiring his trenchcoat, 'Plus the golden sword.'

'So what do you think Nebula's up to?' Nobara asked, taking a bottle of medicine from a cabinet at the back of the room. She gave it to Talec and told him to give Jelze the whole bottle. There was only half left anyway. Talec carefully placed the bottle in Jelze's mouth.

'He's bringing things from the past into our present.' Talec said, still holding the bottle as Jelze slowly guzzled the mixture down.

'Could mean he's bringing them from the future as well,' Rumbo said, 'with Blade it is possible...'

A small sound was felt in Rumbo's head....a gentle whisper....

'We have to figure this out,' Talec said, giving Jelze what was left of the mixture. The green started to fade. Talec carefully lowered him to the floor.

'He'll be alright in about half an hour,' Nobara said, 'but for now we have to find this Gargantuan...Rumbo you up to destroying it? Rumbo....RUMBO!'

Nobara suddenly realised that Rumbo had gone, up the tunnel and out of the base. The sound inside his head was getting louder.....

'Lets get after him...' Black Sheep said as he clambered up the ladder, followed by Talec, Louie and Nobara....



In the forest the sound within Rumbo's head became too unbearable...

In the forest, waiting for him was Blade.

'Hello, Rumbo...' Blade said, drawing out his sword, 'I think it is time for a rematch.'

Rumbo didn't do anything. Instead he stood there, clutching his forehead. The other 4 rabbits emerged from the tunnel and saw Rumbo and Blade.

'Rumbo!' Louie shouted, 'Do something!'

Rumbo collapsed to his knees. Something was happening...

Blade only watched, knowing that he hadn't done a thing....he had only followed them

Rumbo started to glisten with bright white light, the shape of his body changing significantly.

'What the..' Blade said out loud.

Rumbo screamed as the white light and the pain became too unbearable. Rumbo's head began to change, change to spikey hair.... His ears weren't as floppy anymore....

His neck became thinner and around it was a small hankerchief with a funny pattern. His shoulders were rounder and thinner. He no longer carried a gun...merely white hands and red fur. His body was the same, except red and white alternately. Down his right side was what looked like a massive scratch, which had an insane pattern on it, looking like ancient writing. His legs became thinner and longer. All that was left was.....this.





All it said was, 'Lets rock this joint!'
