Everyone stood silently, their eyes all wet. TIME at that one moment stood still...



Rumbo Rabbit picked up his dead father and walked further into the grounds of Carrotus Castle. Everyone else followed like a parade at a funeral march.

Rumbo walked inside, Jelze and Talec right behind him. Lori stood behind them, almost inbetween them.

'...Mother....' Rumbo called out into the castle.

No answer.

'...Queen of Old Carrotus. My mother who I thought was dead...'

No answer.

'The one who banished me away and left me cold, creating the rabbit I am today.'

There was a shuffling sound at the end of the hall. The Queen came out. With her stood a painful looking Jazz and Princess Eva, who kissed him on the cheek to try and make him feel better.

'My mother,' Rumbo continued, 'my half sister, my half cousin. The brother of my half cousin Lori.'

Lori gasped a little.

The Queen looked in Rumbo's arms and saw Gargant lying there dead.

'You mean....?'

'I was the rabbit you gave birth to with Gargant. He left me with you but then you realised the power of creation from Gargant...'

'Rumbo...it can't be.'

'Maybe I don't have those powers,' Rumbo said, as he began to change into Angel. By the time he had finsihed with the Queen gobsmacked, Angel replied, 'but I do, mother. I remember the past and I remember the way you through me out of the castle. Do you remember me Eva?'

Eva looked back and said, 'I don't...'

'We used to play in the garden together, you know, hide and seek in the maze. I remember I would hide in the far corners and see if you would spot me as you glanced down there. You had a funny way of doing that...'

Eva began to remember.

'I remember you'd hide in one specific place where raspberries were growing on the sides. Boy it became so easy for me.'

A tear came out of Eva's eye, 'Brother, the one they called...'

'Hell's Angel, I am that one. A part of Rumbo Rabbit who now lives of Nebula's powers. It all happened when Rumbo tried committing suicide.'

Angel changed back into Rumbo.

'You...' the Queen started, 'it is you...you were my little guy. I couldn't keep you for I knew damage might be taken on people from your powers...I needed to take you somewhere far away to avoid any damage, where you would most likely forget...'

'Forget my powers?' Rumbo replied, 'Well that worked, then TIME summoned me as his new Guardian and I found my TIME travelling powers..ones I sippsedly had when I grew up...'

'Rumbo,' Jazz said, 'I thought you would be dead...'

'Hehe, I've died twice in my lifetime. Im still living on. I have to stop Nebula once and for all.'

'But how?' Talec said, 'If you kill him you end all life everywhere...'

'...rumbo...the likeliness of changing Nebula's mind is impossible...' it was TIME who stood as a light blue coloured rabbit.

'I want my revenge,' Rumbo said, 'he killed my father and I want him......back........alive......'

'Rumbo?' Jelze said out loud.

'Talec how far would you say the TIME mountain is from here..?'

'About twelve miles, why?'

'Meet me there half way!' Rumbo said as he transported himself into TIME, directing himself towards TIME mountain...



Only TIME and Talec (and Jelze a little) realised what Rumbo had in mind...
