Blaze turned round and saw Rumbo lying there, blood covering his chest. He started to turn white, yet a mysterious glow formed around him like an outline. It made his cheeks shine from blood red to sunshine yellow. Blaze winced his eyes as he saw the outline becoming brighter and brighter, which in turn made the outline larger and larger.



'What in the...' Blaze started but what he saw next made him unable to speak...



Laying on the ground was not just one rabbit but two! One was Rumbo Rabbit, the other was Hell's Angel. They laid there as if they were dead, yet both got up at exactly the same speed, each looking as alive as normal.



'No!' Blaze cried as he realised what had happened. He hadn't hurt Rumbo, he had helped him by splitting the two apart.



'Congratulations!' Rumbo said, drawing his sword.

'For helping us break free!' Hell's Angel said, holding his hands forward and creating a samurai sword in his grasp.

'And allowing us...' Rumbo said, jumping forward a little.

'To defeat you!' Hell's Angel said, also jumping forward.



Blaze stared back at them, 'You two should be dead! Neither of you exist!'

'Well start believing in us, pal!' Hell's Angel said, 'For it won't be long until you won't get the chance!'



As Blaze ran at Rumbo, Hell's Angel stepped in with a foot and tripped Blaze up, smashing his chin a little on ground impact. Blaze dropped his weapon.

Rumbo walked up to him and picked his body up with his free hand.

'The trouble with people like you,' Rumbo said, 'Is that you're not really people after all.'

Rumbo then threw Blaze in front of him, making Blaze dislocate his right arm. He screeched in pain a little.

Hell's Angel approached him, 'And you say that neither of us exist?' Hell's Angel kicked him and Blaze screamed.

Rumbo came over and did the same, 'There's a question you have to answer, Blaze. Do any of us exist?'

Hell's Angel then stabbed his samurai sword through his right leg, going straight through and impaling him on the ground, 'For it seems that Nebula overpowers us with his powers of creation. But he doesn't truly exist either!'

Rumbo stabbed his sword through Blaze's left arm, 'And neither does Blade, and therefore neither do YOU!'



'NOOOOOO! Blaze screamed as Hell's Angel made a new samurai sword and stabbed it where it would undoubtedly leave Blaze for dead......



A few minutes later they took the blades out and Hell's Angel made the two samurai swords disappear.

Hells Angel smiled, 'You freed me.'

'I know...'

'Why?'

'Nobody deserves to be inside me, Angel.'

'You think so huh?'

'Yeah.'

'You don't know yourself that well do you?'

Rumbo laughed and then looked at Hell's Angel.

'We must go somewhere,' Rumbo said.

'Carrottus?'

'Not yet. Nebula's realm?'

'Yes, the home of my father. I sense him there.'

'He is still alive?'

'Not in that sense.'

'I am beginning to understand. If only I knew myself more.'

'You will one day. Angel, yet I do not, as you say, know even me yet!'



The two hugged each other in gratitude.

'You know what I'm gonna do when this is over?' Rumbo asked.

'What?'

'Stay a renegade. That's what I am and that's what I'll always be. What about you, Angel?'

'Um...I don't know. Live an ordinary life? Return to the castle?'

'Its up to you Angel, you are your own person now.'

'It doesnt feel like it yet. Nebula must be defeated.'

'Don't worry,' Rumbo said, 'We'll defeat him, one day.'

'Soon?'

'Soon, very soon.'
