Chapter 3: PRESENT



Coppertop, Splash and Talec have been called to fight the Creations, possesed members of Carrotus under the powers of Nebula.



The three saw Jelze and his team head into the past at the same time that Defalcon and his team headed towards the future. That left only them in the same TIME to fight the possesed.



'Okay everyone,' Talec said, 'Lets find out where we have to go...'

TIME then spoke in their minds, '...head south until you reach troubled waters...'

'You hear that?' Coppertop said

'Yeah, it was TIME,' Talec replied, 'he speaks the truth. We must go...'



The three left and headed south, watching and waiting for them to all see these troubled waters. Talec was out front, souting the area a few metres away from the other two. Splash was saving his rocket fuel and so walked with the others, by Coppertop.

TAlec suddenly stopped and held out a hand.

'Stay there,' he said as he continued forward. Coppertop and Splash did as they were told.



Talec had seen something glistening in the near distance. It was coming from a forest that was on the other side of a small river that had a wooden plank going across it as a bridge.

Talec saw the plank and began to inspect it. He was picking up some kind of scent.

He noticed a small shadow coming from underneath the plank.

'Show yourself!' Talec said out loud to whatever was there.

A small rabbit came out, who looked normal yet was very isolated looking.

'What is your name?' Talec asked.

'Well,' the frightened rabbit said, walking towards Talec, 'I don't really have a name...you see...'

The rabbit suddenly leapt at Talec, strangling him around the neck with a tight grip. Coppertop and Splash heard the cries of Talec and rushed forward, both preparing to fire at the Creation.

'No, don't!' Talec said, 'He is a simple rabbit who is possessed. If we kill him we kill the rabbit inside! Just get him off of me!'

Splash rushed forward and picked the small rabbit off Talec with ease. Coppertop fecthed some rope out of Splash's backpack as Talec held a sword to the Creation's throat.

Coppertop tied the Creation's hands up and placed him beside the plank.

'Troubled waters, eh?' Splash said with amusement.

'Indeed.'

'You think so, Talec, that was too ea...'

'Don't you get it?' Talec said to him, 'the Creations look like normal people. We don't know whether they are evil or not.'

'Wait a sec!' Coppertop said, 'with the attack in the north Dr Jones and Nobara killed a load of Creations, didn't they?'

'They did?' Talec said.

'Yeah, just outside the forest where they fought Titan.'

'Oh...um...' Talec blushed a little.

'So can we kill it?' Splash asked.

'I don't know...' Talec said, 'if a person lives inside it then we shouldn't, but...'

'WAIT UP GUYS!' came a familiar voice form where the three had come fro. It was Nobara running as fast as she could towards them.

'What a coincidence!' Splash said, 'put some light on the situation for us!'

'The Creations,' Nobara said, 'are spirits of rabbits who have already been killed. In other words when they are possessed...'

'They kill of the being in order to possess it!' Talec finished.

'Yes!'

'SO CAN WE KILL IT?' Splash said.

'Splash!' Coppertop said.

'Oh alright. It didn't kill anyone so lets just leave it...happy now?'

'Yes!' Coppertop said.

'Come on everyone!' Talec said, 'I say we head to the forest and find out where the Creation are being possessed from.'

Just as Talec walked across the plank and got to the other side, he felt his foot slipping away on the cold grass.

'What the...' but it was too late to say any more. Talec's entire body suddenly fell down this deep hole, down a large pipe into an underground sewer system. The other three leered down the hole and jumped in after him.

Talec had landed in some sewage and began to smell a little.

'Now I know what he meant by troubled waters!' Talec said out loud.



-More coming soon!-
