From inside the Gargantuan, Rumbo, Jelze and Talec began to look for the CPU, in other words the 'brain'. Knowing Nebula's contraptions it would lie somewhere other then the head, but they decided to check anyway.

Inside the head was a gigantic purple crystal that appeared to glow every so often. Around it were tons of wires that connected to diferent sockets that lined the inside of the Gargantuan's skull. The purple crystal seemed to be generating some kind of energy that glowed around it. This also appeared to be making the Gargantuan alive.



'This must be the source,' Talec said, 'the energy is being transferred around the body.'

'But if we destroy this what will happen?' Jelze asked.

'It'll explode.' Rumbo said without a doubt, 'it's rigged. We cannot touch it.'

'So what do you suggest?' Talec asked.

'We stop the energy from being transferred.'

'How?'

'Transferring it to somewhere else.'

'Such as?'

'I don't know yet, Talec.'

'...'



They all began to think. The wires themselves seemed to be touching the energy and changed colour from this impact.

'The wires!' Talec said, 'They are carrying the energy!'

'So we have to alter the wires!' Jelze said.

'I got it!' Rumbo said.

Suddenly there was a loud shunt that catapulted the three rabbits to one end of the room. Gargantuan was taking some damage.



Dr Jones launched his rocket launcher and hit the Gargantuan straight on the head.

'Yee Ha!' he shouted out loud, to which everyone looked at him oddly.

'Aim for the arms and legs!' Louie said, drawing out his Chaos an firing at its left hand. The impact of the weapon on the hand had some effect, tearing a 'ligament' from two of the fingers.

'Nice one!' Black Sheep said.

'Thanks!' Louie said back.

'I'll take a shot at the gap!' Dr Jones said, firing his rocket launcher. It was a direct hit all the way.

The explosion tore away all five fingers, leaving a large gap of wires and circuitry.

'HA HA!' Dr Jones shouted out. Everyone congratulated him.

Gargantuan now made his move. From the gap of the hand came a rocket launcher equipped with 5 rockets. Gargantuan was waiting for them to do that.

'Ugh oh.' Nobara said, stepping back slightly. That little step wasn't really going to help.

'Run!' Louie said as the rocket launcher fired its first rocket.

The rabbits ran as the Gargantuan began to move after them. The rabbits went into the forest, Dr Jones firing another rocket without much consideration for aim. He was too frantic with running away.

The rocket only hit Gargantuan on the left knee and did nothing.

Gargantuan roared at them as it picked up speed, tearing its way through trees.



'Yikes!' Jelze said as the Gargantuan began moving.

'Whats happening?' Talec said out loud.

'They're distracting it!' Rumbo said, 'We'd better hurry up. We don't know if they're headin towards another village or worse!'

'Good point.'

'Yeah!'

'Okay,' Rumbo started, 'how are we going to transfer the wires back to it?'

'Can't we just disconnect them?' Jelze asked.

'Not sure,' Talec said, 'They might be rigged.'

'No,' Rumbo said, 'They won't be rigged, but if we transfer ALL that energy to one source...'

'Its gonna blow!' Jelze continued.

'Yes. That means once we do it we have to get out of here fast. Jelze I want you to go back to the others and tell them to lead Gargantuan to an isolated area where nobody is!'

'Why me?'

'Because you can't die yet!'

'Whats that supposed to...'

'He means that if we don't make it at least you will!' Talec said.

'You're the TIME Guardian remember?' Rumbo said, 'You have a reason to live. We, well I don't.'

'Neither do I!' Talec said, 'I'm an ex-Guardian. I can't help.'

Jelze gulped and said, 'I can't...'

'You can and you will!' Rumbo said, placing his hands on Jelze's shoulders. What he didn't know was that Rumbo was creating a TIME field around him, which would teleprt him anyway, whether he liked it or not.

'You being all sentimental on me?' Jelze asked.

'Not really,' Rumbo said as Jelze's body began to glow.

Jelze suddenly looked down, realising what Rumbo was doing, 'RUMBO, DON'T DO THIS!'

'Sorry friend,' Rumbo said, letting go as Jelze suddenly disappeared, travelling down to where the other rabbits were. They were still running.



'He's gaining! Black Sheep said.

'Obviously!' Nobara said.

Suddenly Jelze appeared in front of them.

'What the...' Dr Jones started, 'What are you doing here?'

'Lead Gargantuan to an isolated area!' Jelze said straight away.

'What do you...'

'JUST DO IT!' he shouted, 'Rumbo has a plan and we need to get him out of here, fast!'

They all began to exit the forest from the North, heading towards the mountain range. Gargantuan fired another rocket, this time destroying a few trees and creating a new forest fire. Luckily it couldn't really see them and so missed them entirely.



'We have to do it soon!' Rumbo said.

'But what if they haven't lead to an isolated place?' Talec asked.

'We can't just wait!'

'Then what else can we do, let people die?'

Rumbo shook his head, 'No, but we can't wait forever!'

Suddenly Rumbo felt a tiny feeling inside his head, which began to grow by the second.

'Lets wait another minute or so before we begin.'

'...'

'We have to be ready to escape, the explosion could be instantaneous!'

'...'

'Rumbo are you listening?'

'...Lori...'

'What?'

'Lori, she's in TIME Central!'

'What? How do you!'

'We have to do it now! We have to save Lori, she's in grave danger!'

'Oh no...'

'Come on Talec, please!'

'Wait!'

'What?'

'I'll stay, you go and help Lori.'

'But what about...'

'Forget about me, Rumbo! Like I said I'm just an ex-Guardian.'

'Oh don't give me that!'

'Rumbo! Do you wanna save Lori or not?'

'...Of course!'

'THEN GO!'

Both were then silent. Rumbo didn't know what to say.

'Rumbo...go...'

Rumbo nodded with sheer guilt and began to concentrate. After a few seconds he disappeared, heading into TIME.

'Okay...' Talec said, 'I suppose it is time...'



The rabbits had now lead Gargantuan out into the mountains. They were now waiting for Rumbo and Talec to destroy Gargantuan.

'Come on!' Jelze said.

'Please, now!' Nobara said.

'Do it guys!' Louie said.



Talec had all the wires into the crystal except for one. Holding it carefully, he stared at it...realising what might happen to him... He wasn't thinking about saving his life anymore.

'I'm....just....' he began, holding the wire up to the crystal. It was only a few centimetres away from it....'an......'

The wire touched the crystal. Suddenly sparks came off of the crystal. It was going to explode for definite....'....ex-Guardian.....'

Talec closed his eyes. He never opened them again.....



Gargantuan exploded in the midst of the mountain range, first its head cracked open revealing dark purple energy that spurtted out everywhere. The rest of the body then exploded with it, leaving only a pile of sharred and dented metal, all blackened and useless.

'...Guys?' Jelze called out.

No reply.

'Rumbo?'

...

'Talec?'

...

Jelze's eyes began to wet. To them both of them didn't survive. Only half of that statement was true....
