Continuing on from 'Whatever happened to Rumbo Rabbit?'...



Many nights had passed since Nebulas last attack on TIME mountain. Things had been peaceful and many were thinking that Nebula wouldn’t strike, well only the people that knew he existed in the first place…

With Rumbo resigning as Guardian of TIME, TIME had to find another rabbit, a rabbit that knew something about TIME and would be willing to help save it whenever necessary. People like Talec and Rumbo, although unique, could easily be replaced. TIME eventually came up with one candidate, an orange rabbit with the name Jelze.



Talec had gone back to his mountain and realised how boring his life was becoming. He decided to meet some old friends back at the Carrotus Castle. Travelling many miles, by foot and by other means, he eventually reached the castle, about a day after leaving for it.

At the front gates were two familiar looking guards, who had been on patrol since Blade had tried to attack Carrotus. When they saw Talec they greeted him with a smile, yet stayed at their posts like they were supposed to.

‘Carry on, gents!’ Talec said back, nodding to them with appreciation. Talec already felt much better.

From entering the castle he found two other familiar faces, one in the shape of a green heroic rabbit chasing another smaller, yet still as fast red rabbit, who had a steak tucked firmly in his grasp.

‘GIVE THAT BACK, SPAZ!’ Jazz Jackrabbit, Prince of Carrotus demanded, ‘THE QUEEN WANTS SUCH A STEAK AND IT IS NOT YOURS!’

‘Hey, hey, hey!’ Spaz Jackrabbit replied, ‘I only want a bit of it…’

‘Same old, Spaz, same old Jazz.’

Both turned at the newcomer.

‘Same old, same old, huh guys?’

‘Talec!’ Jazz said with a warm welcome, ‘What are you doing here? How have you been?’

‘Thought I’d visit you guys!’ Talec replied as Spaz stopped, accidentally dropping the steak onto the floor, ‘How’s things here?’

‘Great!’ Jazz replied, ‘Lori’s getting married to Dr J and we can’t wait for the wedding!’

‘Really, I must say…’

‘Congratulations?’ came a voice from behind Talec. He turned round and saw the beautiful, 19 year old Lori Jackrabbit that he remembered. Behind her was Dr Jones, his arms cuddling her from around the shoulders. She held onto them with caring hands.

‘Lori…’ Talec said, walking towards her, ‘I can’t believe it. Still as beautiful as you ever was…’

Lori blushed. Dr Jones cuddled her more.

‘Yup she certainly is,’ Dr Jones replied with a wide smile, ‘and soon she’ll be my beautiful princess.’

Lori’s ears went red, ‘Thank you both,’ she said, ‘What are you doing here?’

‘Thought I’d pop in, see how the old gangs coming along. I can see that not a lot has changed…’

‘Um…’ Lori started, ‘is Rumbo with you at all?’

Talec was at first silent. He first of all remembered the fight they had up at TIME mountain, then how Rumbo had told Talec about a letter he was going to leave her, ‘I am afraid not. He is up at TIME mountain…protecting the TIME stone from any further attacks…’

‘I didn’t think he did that!’ Dr Jones replied with wonder.

‘Yes…well,’ Talec started, ‘you see, Rumbo quit as the Guardian of TIME. He left it a few days ago and now lives alone. He appears to be unhappy in many proportions.’

Lori fell silent. So did the rest of them. They didn’t know what to say. They remembered when Rumbo left them last, looking sad and confused.



Talec went further inside and met with the Queen of Carrotus, plus a few other guests who had turned up that day, Jelze and Black Sheep.



Meanwhile…in the deepest parts of TIME, the forbidden world…





‘So, Rumbo thinks he can protect the TIME stone, does he? Thinks he can stop me, the creator of all worlds from taking what is rightfully mine? Pah! I shall show him, for I shall use my powers on him and see what he will do then! But my dear brother, the keeper’, I fear that you will try to stop me…If you do I shall destroy you….’



….He sat alone…patiently waiting….waiting for any encounter….but really he wasn’t prepared…far from it…not with what happened next….



As Talec sat around a small picnic table with the Queen, Eva, Jazz, Spaz, Lori, Dr Jones, Jelze and Black Sheep, drinking fresh carrot juice straight from the fridge, they began to wander through endless chats …

‘So…’ Jelze started, ‘How is Rumbo then?’

Talec didn’t reply. He didn’t know what to say.

‘Um…did I say something wrong?’ Jelze asked with sympathy.

‘No, friend,’ Talec started, ‘it is just that Rumbo…well, isn’t the same anymore…’

‘How do you mean?’ Lori asked. Dr Jones looked at her eyes, her over-caring eyes.

‘Rumbo…he’s not the self centred rabbit I thought him to be. He’s more a caring and loving person then I could ever had imagined…’

‘Oh…’ Spaz said, ‘so you say he’s up at TIME mountain, Talec?’

‘….’

‘Talec, are you alright?’

Talec suddenly stopped speaking and was now listening to thoughts within his head. Something was wrong. It was TIME, telling him something…

‘…Nebula is attacking again, this time rumbo…he will soon take his mind. You must leave now…’

‘Oh my god.’ Talec said out loud.

‘What on Carrotus is the matter?’ the Queen asked, noticing his fear.

‘Its Rumbo,’ he said, ‘he’s in grave danger!’

Talec suddenly got up from the table and headed in the direction of TIME mountain, leaving the castle. It was about 2 miles away so he would have to move fast. Everyone else present, including the Queen and Eva, went after him. Lori was deeply concerned…

Nice, but it's JelZe. :P

(Jelze's a TIME traveller. There is nothing more to say...)



The words of Nebula: ‘Sortec, Laman, Vortec, Karman…’



As Rumbo sat on top of TIME mountain, thinking and watching over the dull view of beautiful scenery, He felt a presence inside his head…

‘Sortec…’

Rumbo flinched, then realised what was happening, ‘Nebula!’

‘...Laman...’

‘NEBULA, STOP THIS NOW! END THIS WAR BETWEEN US! LEAVE OUR WORLDS TO BE!’

Nebula didn’t listen, ‘Vortec…’

‘YOU CAN TAKE MY MIND, NEBULA, BUT YOU’LL NEVER TAKE THE TIME STONE….’

‘…Karman…..’

Suddenly Rumbo’s mind shook with great power that gave Rumbo an incredible headache. Falling to his knees he screamed with fear and anger, knowing that he had not the strength to withstand such a force….



‘Listen!’ Eva said as they heard a scream at the top of the mountain, which they were now travelling up.

‘RUMBO!’ Lori shouted back, not knowing what to really do. She feel into Dr Jones’ arms for comfort.

‘Quickly, to the top!’ Talec shouted, ‘We don’t have much time…’



‘ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!’ Rumbo screamed as the last attempt to succeed failed. Rumbo’s mind had now been taken, taken by the creator of all worlds, the evil Nebula. Getting up from his knelt position, he walked over to the TIME stone, taking it with both hands and beginning to stare right into it…

The others reached the top to find Rumbo/Nebula standing with the TIME stone, Rumbo’s eyes become whiter and wearing a wicked smile.

‘Stop!’ Talec shouted, ‘Nebula, stop this!’

‘YOU JUST DON’T GET IT, DO YOU?’ Nebula shouted back at them as the molecular structure began to change, ‘I OWN THESE WORLDS! IT IS MY RIGHT TO CREATE THEM THE WAY I REALLY WANT THEM!’

‘Rumbo!’ Lori shouted out, but again no answer came back.

‘No answer, pretty lady!’ Nebula answered, ‘He’s temporarily out cold!’



‘You…you…’ Jelze started.

‘You swine!’ Black Sheep finished off, rather embarrassed.

‘Maybe I am such a word, but the ‘creator’ is a greater match for all of you slaves, slaves of my reign!’



‘Nebula!’ came a mysterious voice from behind Nebula, who had just appeared out of nowhere.

Nebula turned and saw, standing before him was Blade, the bounty-TIME-Traveller who had tried to destroy Carrotus before, ‘You!’

‘I see you are taking up my plan!’ Blade shouted at him, ‘Why can’t you become more original?’

‘Are you here to stop me too, sibling?’

‘As any enemy who has had his plans stolen from under his rabbit nose!’

‘Well your too late, ALL OF YOU! THE TIME STONE HAS BEEN ALTERED, HAHAHAHAHA…’

Suddenly the feeling of Nebula within Rumbo became weaker as Rumbo began to take control again, only to a minor scale. His eyes began to change back from white to their usual colour, plus the vicious smile was beginning to fade….

‘What the…’ Rumbo said to himself. Suddenly realising where he was and what was happening. He saw the TIME stone, he knew it had already been altered, ‘Dammit!’ he uttered, bowing his head.

‘Rumbo…’ Lori said softly, to which this time Rumbo heard the cry. He looked up at her, staring at his one true love who was already ‘taken’. He wanted her before and he still did then. If only he had been so wicked as to give her that love letter before he went…It was too late now, they were getting married. He had heard it from somewhere a few days ago.

‘Lori…’ Rumbo said softly, almost a whisper, as he drew out his golden sword from nowhere. Looking at the sword with thought and anticipation, Rumbo decided the best thing that he should do. He looked straight at Lori, saying, ‘I’m sorry’ and with that he held the golden sword with both hands……………



Everyone else stared on as he pointed the blade towards him………….



……..Rumbo clutched the handle firmly, knowing that somewhere inside him lay a part of Nebula. He knew it was his last effort to stop him from ruling. He knew it was too late to change the dreaded future that Nebula had created……….



Lori’s eyes widened as Rumbo swiftly and sternly stabbed himself, right through the heart and out the other side. He fell to his knees, still holding the sword, his eyes clutched firmly closed, his teeth gritted with the last few moments of pain.

‘RUMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ Lori screamed as he collapsed to the ground, trying to run towards him but Dr Jones held her back. It was no point now, he had committed suicide. Rumbo Rabbit killed himself to try and kill Nebula…

As Rumbo lay there the entire sky changed its shape and format, from a clear blue to a misty red. As it did everything suddenly became whiter and whiter, becoming so intense that everyone was knocked out from the experience, except for one. As the sky had changed Jelze Goldrabbit had been warped away, away into the midst of TIME….



When everything had recovered, NOTHING was the same. Not even close…..

The whiteness vanished...Carrotus had gone...New Carrotus was hear to stay...



A desolate world full of coruption and sheer suffering, evil force Nebula rules over the rabbits and other creatures of such a criminal world, living somewhere high up away from anyone else. All that knew each other are great distances apart and all the main heroes of the world have been locked up. Doesn't mean the other heroes haven't been though...



Jelze passed through into TIME, was asked to be the next Guardian of TIME from TIME itself nd Jelze said yes, if anything to save Carrotus. As he prepared to eturn to Carrotus to see what he could do, theres another TIME traeller still in question...



...Talec...



Tale found himself alone and confused in a bundle of wreckage, where apparantly a city had once been. Beside him lay other rabbits, yet none of them he actually knew. He got up, scouted the area and saw that Nebula, nor anyone he knew was anywhere to be seen. Talec was confused, but wasn't scared...



Jazz found himself alone in a prison cell, with only a dark window to look out of of, consisting of two bars. There was a tiny bunk bed made for the size of a child and a piece of chalk that appeared to have been worn down many years before. Jazz was silent, he didn't want to speak. He was starting to feel scared...



Spaz and Lori were with each other, in someother locked up cell on the other side of the planet, or whatever it had become. They had the same kind of cell, except there wasn't even a doorway out of here. The bars were much rustier and the double bunk bed had collapsed into one kingsize single bed. Lori held onto Spaz, ony wanting to see her dear Dr Jones again....



Dr Jones was found in another wreckage, this time up in a hilly area above many trees and some villages below. He was also alone like Jazz and Talec. He still had his powers, yet he was as confused as the rest of them.



These characters, plus others will form the backbone for the rest of the story, how they travel across New Carrotus in hope of defeating Nebulus. But the question is.....





....What about Rumbo?

That was very nice, Rumbo, but...never mind.

I'm sorrrreeee. Its this mod thing.

`Ducky

Wow, nice job, Rumbo. Do continue



P.S. I'm to make a few changes in my profile. Maybe you should see it.

Join my story, Rumbo, ugh, I've gotten way into this advertising thing, mwhahahaaha, I am a writer, that is all I do. When I am depressed, I write.

WOW....didn't think it was so good. Im a blushing rabbit now ....



Heres the next bit....



'Jelze passed through into TIME, was asked to be the next Guardian of TIME from TIME itself nd Jelze said yes, if anything to save Carrotus. As he prepared to eturn to Carrotus to see what he could do, theres another TIME traeller still in question...'



Jelze found himself standing on the border of TIMEs world, with a gun in one hand and a spirit full of TIMEs energy inside him. TIME had told him many things, about the truth of TIME and more of the 'creator'. Jelze now understood what Rumbo had secretly known and was now ready to take Rumbo's place..

'Rumbo...' Jelze said to himself, closing his eyes, remembering what had happened...

'...there appears to be hope....' it was TIMEs voice

'Hope?' Jelze questioned

'...yes....you see.....'

'Is it to do with Rumbo?'

'...yes....he isn't dead...'

'What?'

'...he is very much alive...'

'But how?'

'I can't understand myself but he is, somewhere in TIME...'

'You want me to find him?' Jelze asked, a big smile appeared on his face

'No, you must head to New Carrotus. I want you to find............'



Meanwhile....



Dr Jones was found in another wreckage, this time up in a hilly area above many trees and some villages below. He was also alone like Jazz and Talec. He still had his powers, yet he was as confused as the rest of them.

He looked back and fourth, trying to find his one true love, Lori. He couldn't see her, his eyes became wet. He wanted to see her again. He crouched down. He went to sleep.



--------Sortec, Laman, Vortec, Karman…-------



During the night the village that Dr Jones lie within was attacked, by what were known to be followers of Nebula, Creations, rabbits who posses no powers and have had their minds possesed to follow Nebula.

Dr Jones felt a thud as one of the followers punched him in the chest. He spat out and woke up, seeing four rabbits above him, looking down at him with evil eyes. They began to hit him more. Dr Jones didn't scream, he didn't do anything at first. Then suddenly he got up and started to use his powers to his best....his hand.....morphed into.....A MINIGUN!

The four rabbits began to run as Dr Jones pointed it at them. Suddenly he heard gunfire from behind him. He ducked down, dodging the attacks. He rolled over and fired back at whatever was there, which was about 10 Creations, all rabbits. As Dr Jones fired back, shooting one in the chest and the other through the leg, he realised that the number of these rabbits was becoming miniscule. He wasn't the only one firing at them...

Noticing that all 10 of the rabbits had been hit, he got up and was bout to walk over them, when suddenly he felt a gun on the back of his head...

'Don't move, traitor!' said the Creation rabbit behind him.

Suddenly there was a bang as a gun was fired, going straight through the head of one single rabbit. Dr Jones fell down from the shot. The Creation rabbit continued to stand.............suddenly realised that it had been shot through the head and collapsed into a heap, giving Dr Jones the view of another rabbit behind it, pointing a blaster right at the Creations head....



It was a girl rabbit, looked roughly 18. She wore a sexy silk skirt and a black leather shirt with it. The shirt had a picture of a gold and silver flower sewn into it, which perfectly matched her strands of gold and silver hair. Across her right eye was a small scar, which looked as if she had been hit with a blade or something. The rabbit dropped the gun into a holster and drew out a sword, also carrying a small emerald in her other hand.

'Hi...' she said, 'names Wild Angel...you must be the good old Dr J, right?'

Dr Jones looked at her, stunned, 'Um..yes...thank you...'

'Any time, precious, but you can call me Nobara if you want...'

'Where am I?'

'Small desolate village, just like any other on this planet. How long you been asleep?'

'I don't know...'

'Look,' she said, 'I was sent to find some people, one of them being you...'

'Why me?' Dr Jones asked.

'Were setting up a resistance...no name for it yet...'

'Is Lori with you?'

'Um, 'fraid not...' Nobara then placed her sword back in its pouch and she drew out two uzis, one of which she had used onthe Creation. She checked they were fully loaded and then placed them back in...

'Come with me...' she said as she went over to Dr Jones and put out a hand for him. He took it and got up, blushing slightly.

'Why you gone red, Dr?'

'Um...never been saved by a girl before...'

'Theres always a first time, hun, theres always a first time...'

They went out of the wreckage to a nearby forest, where Nobard made two knocks on a specific tree and was allowed into the secret hideout underneath, along with Dr Jones...

Meanwhile.....



Jelze had gone back to New Carrotus, noticing how desolate and cruel it was.



He had been sent to find someone...a TIME traveller....Talec



'Talec found himself alone and confused in a bundle of wreckage, where apparantly a city had once been. Beside him lay other rabbits, yet none of them he actually knew. He got up, scouted the area and saw that Nebula, nor anyone he knew was anywhere to be seen. Talec was confused, but wasn't scared...'



Jelze warped onto Carrotus and found himself within the same wreckage that Talec was in. He started to call out his name...

'TALEC!'

No reply...



Talec decided he couldn't stay here any longer and went out, scouting for any signs of recognisable life. As he went about he saw a familiar rabbit ahead of him. He was orangey and Talec remembered him being there when Rumbo has stabbed himself...

Talec approached him and put a hand on his shoulder, saying, 'Friend, I have found you...' but the rabbit turned around and Talec realised that it wasn't Jelze, just another rabbit roaming endlessly in circles. Talec apologised for the mixup and sat down on the floor again.



'TALEC!!!!!!!'



Talec pricked his rabbit ears....



'TAAAAAAAAALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEC!'



Talec replied, 'I AM HERE? IS THAT YOU JELZE?' He recognised the voice.



'YES!' he replied, 'where are you?'

'In the wreckage....'

'That doesn't help me!'

'Um...' then Taled had an idea. Using some of his inner TIME powers he set off what looked like a firework from his position. It spurted into the air, revealling a golden trail upwards. Jelze saw this and ran towards it.



Just as he did...something was approaching....



A Jelze ran towards him, something grabbed him and threw him to the floor. Jelze screamed in fright as a rabbit with large white fangs coming from its mouth loomed over him.

Talec realised where the souund was coming from and ran over there. Just as he did, another rabbit approached...

The fanged rabbit tried to bit Jelze's neck, obviously a vampire rabbit then. Where had it come from? They were said to only exist many many years ago... Jelze kicked up at it and puched it backwards. He got up and drew out his gun, pointing it at the rabbits head. He shot the vampire right through the eye but still the rabbit lived. Talec then approached, drawing out his sword from thin air and hacked the rabbits head off. Talec thought it was over but then saw the rabbit get up, walk over to its head, pick it up and place it firmly between its shoulders, as if it had never been cut off.

'A vampire rabbit!' Jelze explained.

'Where from?' Talec asked in surprise, 'they existed only years ago I thought...'

'They did...' came another rabbit's voice, from behind Talec. Talec turned around and they both saw a rabbit standing there, with a steak in one hand. It had a stern look in both its eyes as it watched the vampire turn and start to run at him. The rabbit, holding the steak like a knife, did a 360 degree turn anti clockwise and once he had reached 180 degrees he threw the knife from his hand, going straight at the vampire rabbits heart. It stabbed him right through, going out the other side. The vampire rabbit fell to the ground, dead.

The third rabbit appraoched Talec and said, 'Names Slayer, pleased to meet you...'

Lori and Spaz sat down next to each other in their tiny cell, both truly scared. They didn't really know what had happened, they didn't understand like Rumbo or Talec (and now Jelze). They just knew that they were in big trouble...



'Im scared, bro,' Lori said to Spaz, cuddling him, almost in tears.

'It'll be okay, sis,' Spaz replied, 'theres gotta be a way out of here somewhere...'

Lori was beginning to miss Dr Jones, 'I hope Jones is alright.'

'So do I.'

But she wasn't just thinking of Jones, 'Oh god!' she said to herself, crying.

'Hey sis, I'm sure hes alright. I mean his arms a minigun most of the...'

'Im not taking about him,' she explained through tears, 'I mean...Rumbo...'

'Oh god, yeah.' Spaz added, suddenly remembering how he had stabbed himself to try and stop Nebula from ruling the planet. Unfortunately it hadn't worked...

Lori thought to herself:

'Oh Rumbo, I remember the first time we met. I fell for you and I couldn't stop. But I love Jones more, even though I had wanted us to be together. Im really sorry...If only you felt THE SAME WAY....'



Meanwhile, wandering endlessly through TIME....

He walked slowly, looking down at the ground, his eyes angry and his heart furious. His mind was only on Carrotus, how he had tried to save it and yet to no avail the New Carrotus regieme lives on...

TIME suddenly found Rumbo Rabbit walking alone in a lonesome part of TIME...

'...rumbo.......'

Rumbo was angry: 'SHUT UP! LEAVE ME ALONE!' he shouted, swiping his hands in front of him to ward TIME off.

'...rumbo...please...I'm...'

'Sorry? SORRY? HOW ON CARROTUS CAN YOU BE SORRY??? WHY AM I STILL ALIVE, WHY? I WANTED TO END THIS, I WANTED TO STOP THE PAIN...'

'...rumbo...'

'IM NOT YOUR SLAVE ANYMORE!' he began to cry through anger, 'IM NOT GONNA DO WHAT YOU TELL ME....'

'..you don't have to...'

'YEAH, RIGHT!'

'...Carrotus needs you...'

'WHY, SO I CAN RUIN MORE PEOPLE'S LIVES...'

'...what do you mean?'

'DAMN IT TIME I LOVE LORI! I'VE ALWAYS LOVED HER! I USED TO DENY IT BECAUSE OF MY PARENTS DYING, I THOUGHT I'D....'

'..loose her?'

'....yes....oh god...' Rumbo wiped his eyes to stop the continuous tears from falling down his burning cheeks, 'I want Lori more then anything, but I don't want to hurt her or Dr Jones. I want her to be happy, that's why I left her and Carrotus...that's why I didn't leave the note....'

'...the note saying you wanted her...'

'...yes...that note....I still have it I think...i'm not gonna use it though..'

'...rumbo...get a hold of yourself....you don't have to be like this...'

'THEN WHAT can I be like?'

'....a hero....'

Rumbo suddenly gave up speaking and kept walking.

'..don't deny it, Rumbo, you have the power to warp through TIME....and there's another power...'

Rumbo stopped suddenly, 'Another power?'

'...one you obtained from your second death...when you stabbed yourself....Nebula's powers....'

Rumbo was gob-smacked, 'Nebula's powers, the cretor's powers of creation...I HAVE THEM?' he sounded very surprised.

'...not exactly YOU rumbo...but your other half...your second personality...'

'My what?'

'...after killing yourself you and Nebula died together, sort of fusing your powers with him. Don't worry he doesn't have yours since it was only a part of him that was inside you...therefore meaning that he is still alive...'

'Go on...'

'..you already had a second personality that was just in your mind...now it seems to be living inside you, off of Nebula's powers...'

'What does this mean?'

'I don't know, but this other side of you might be evil, I do not know...'

'So what must I do now, I mean what do you SUGGEST?'

'...meet me in TIME central. I will appear as your father before he died....'

Rumbo didn't say anything. Instead he began to run towards TIME central, his second personality hearing every word....





-Quite an emotional scene that was between Rumbo and TIME wasn't it? -

it was indeed, i enjoy readin it rumbo



write on

TIME Central - City of TIME travellers. All are welcome...



Rumbo went into TIME central and could sense TIMEs presence. In his mind he was told to enter the TIME Tavern, where people would meet up and tell stories from around different worlds. Humans, creatures and other lifeforms lived here, including rabbits.



Rumbo entered the Tavern and found noneother then his dad sitting by a table on his own.

Rumbo went to the table, staring at his 'dad':

'My dad never had a bushy chin...'

'Doesn't matter,' TIME said, looking back with a serios face, 'I have to tell you something.'

Rumbo sat down by the table, directly opposite, 'What is it, the future?'

'Two possibilities, Rumbo, only two...'

'The first...?'

'The first being that Nebula continues to run Carrotus and kills almost every soul on Carrotus.'

'How?'

'Through torture, he basically goes ott.'

'Right? So what's the second...?

'The second, Rumbo, is that if YOU are there to stop him...'

Rumbo was silent at first, 'Dioes the future show Carrotus back to normal at the end?'

'The only way to do that is to realter the TIME stone....so I am unable to see that. Unfortunately I don't have it.'

'Nebula?'

'Yes...he made sure he controlled it from the start.'

'So all I have to do is get that right? I suppose you'll tell me his location is unknown or theres a TIME field around it.'



-A TIME field, stops people from TIME travelling within it-



'Both!' TIME replied, 'meaning we'll have to find it first and then get there by foot or transport.'

'....damn!'

'Rumbo....I don't want to make you feel like a slave to me. You don't have to be on my side anymore...'

'Are you on the side that is to save Carrotus?'

'Of course!'

'Then I am on your side forever, TIME.' Rumbo was dead serious.

'Then hear me out,' TIME started, 'A resistance on Carrotus is forming, somewhere in the North. A group of powerful and figthing rabbits have joined together and are finding the best. They currently have Dr Jones with them on their side.'

'Is Lori with him?' he asked straight away.

'No, she is with Spaz on the other side of the world. They are trying to escape as we speak.'

'And Jazz?'

'That's who the resistance is next after. Dr Jones has already made a plee to find Lori...'

'Thought so. You made Jelze Guardian?'

'Yes.'

'You mentioned it once, hes a good rabbit and a good friend.'

'He is with Talec, who will be training him instead of you...'

'Fine...where are they?'

'In the east somewhere, about 10 miles from the resistance point. They should meet up shortly. They are also with a rabbit known as the Last Patriot...'

Rumbo smiled, 'Well whatdoya know? That guys still around?'

'You know him?'

'Don't you remember, the escapade with the vampire rabbits. I helped him against them once, showed him the near future. I protected him...'

'I forget many events, Rumbo, I have greater things to think about...'

'Nebula?'

'Exactly.'

'So this resistance, it got a name?'

'No, but you will decide that...'

'Why me?'

'Because you join it and become their leader...'

'...You've seen that?'

'....Yes....'

'So I have no choice, as per usual.'

'Look, you make your way there your own way. You can go there whenever you want just make sure you do. I'm not telling you what to do here.'

'You just did...'

'Please, Rumbo, for the Old Carrotus, detroy the New and bring it back....'

Rumbo was silent, He nodded his head, got up from his chair and walked out of the tavern. By the time he had left, TIME had a smile on his face. He had never seen Rumbo join the resistance, he had made it up...

I'm at a loss for good comments today, sorry.

Chapter 1 - Jelze, Talec, Slayer (Louie)



----- Vampire Vigilante -----



Talec sat down as they listened to Slayer telling them about how they had started appearing from a warp about three miles away, somewhere southwards.

'They all came out in rows, like they had been preparing for this.' Slayer added

'Nebula most likely.' Jelze added

'You know about him, I mean you know what he is?' Talec asked.

'TIME told me everything...'

'Oh...right.'

'Nebula?' Slayer asked.

'Well, Slayer...'

'Please, call me Louie.'

'Okay, Louie...here's the basics...'

Talec told Louie of Nebula, the 'creator' of all worlds and how he wants people to obey him, therefore creating horrible worlds like Carrotus. He also told him about TIME, how it is the 'keeper' and runs Nebula's worlds.

'I see,' Louie said, 'So Nebula must have brought these vampires from the past...'

'But wait a sec,' Jelze interrupted, 'Nebula doesn't have TIME's powers does he?'

'No...so somebody else muct have brought them here...' Talec replied

'Who then'

Talec had one person in mind, 'Blade.'



They decided to leave the wreckage and headed north, after TIME had told Jelze through his thoughts to head that way....



-As they walked that way something behind them appeared from a TIME warp-



As they walked Talec heard something behind them....

'Stop.' he told the rest of them as he turned round, seeing nothing. As he was about to turn round to counter a front ambush, he realised he was too late.

At least 5 vampires came out from behind a large pile of rubble, each carrying their own blasters. They all fired alternately, hitting Talec on the shoulder, only minorly grazing it. He drew out his blaster and, with rapid fire on, shot the vampire back, along with the other two beside it.

Jelze rolled to dodge a shot and fired, suddenly realising they wouldn't work against it. However it does knock them backwards, giving them enough time to escape. They shot all 7 of them and hid behind a different pile of rubble, realising their weapons were useless. Louie had hit one of them with a steak but that was it so far. He noticed some scraps of wood by his feet.

'Guys, find some bits of wood and load them into your guns!' he ordered. The other two nodded, taking the shapest and smallest bits of wood they could find. Once they had all loaded their guns with wood, they came out of the rubble and began firing. Unfortunately they hadn't expected the reply...

The vampire rabbits were already beside the rubble, waiting for them to come out. The five remaining vampires started to kick at them, making them drop their guns and spare wood ammo. Talec managed to kick one back in the ribs, which cracked since they were so weak. Yet the vampire lived on and punched Talec on the nose, making him collapse to the floor. Jelze did a Spaz like kick at one of them, cutting it in half from the waistline. In this position it wouldn't be able to reform, but was still alive. The four that were still able to move walked closer and closer to the three, who stood side by side a little in front. Louie was about to draw out a steak and fire it at the one on the right, when suddenly there were the sounds of rapid fire coming from behind the vampires. As one of them turned, a large chuck of wood went flying into its stomach, making it collapse to the ground. Then about five other bits of sharp wood went into the other three vampires, hitting two of them straight through the heart. Talec, Jelze and Louie smiled as they saw who was standing there....



...Rumbo Renegade Rabbit...



The last vampire, only getting shot in the legs, stumbled towards Rumbo. All three of them noticed him wearing a very slick and cool trench coat, with a stern look in his eye. Rumbo placed his blaster back in his holster and ran at the vampire, doing an uppercutt, drawing his blaster in mid air and firing vertically down at the vampires neck, killing it instantly. As he landed he drew out another sharp piece of wood and threw it down at the vampire that lay in two halves, also killing it as well.

The others cheered him as Rumbo smiled, saying 'Look who's back, and cooler then ever?'

good question ghehe

coolness Rumbo

Boy, Rumbo, when you start writing you keep on writing, don't you? Continue!

Oh, why are people like Rumbo ever born? They make the rest of us seem, seem, seem so futile! Continue!

Wot he said

Slayer, you added two smileys too!



Btw, Louie was about to draw out a steak and fire it at the one on the right, when suddenly there were the sounds of rapid fire coming from behind the vampires.



Heheh, great story, bad grammar

The four of them sat down there, all completely exhausted. They admired Rumbo's cool new look and felt that he wasn't the same rabbit they saw when he committed suicide.

'Rumbo,' Talec started, 'why did you kill yourself, you KNEW it wouldn't stop Nebula, didn't you?'

'Yeah,' Rumbo replied, 'but the fact is I couldn't bear living as the rabbit I was.'

'So what are you now?' Louie asked.#

'...a renegade, both of TIME and of New Carrotus.'

'So what are you doing here?' Jelze asked, 'Not come back to take my position again are ya?'

'No, no, no' he replied, 'by the way congratulations on your new post. I haven't seen you or Louie for ages.'

'You know Louie?' Talec asked.

'Sure, helped him defeat a couple of vampires before...'

'He saved my life,' Louie interrupted, 'can't thank him enough.'

'When was the last time we properly saw each other, Rumbo?' Jelze asked him.

'Um...when I was....'

'About to leave Carrotus?'

'...Yes...' Rumbo let out a sigh.

'Why did you leave, Rumbo?' Jelze asked.

'...I can't explain.'

'Hey if its about Lori then we'll...'

'YOU KNOW?!'

'Um, yeah...' Talec replied, 'they wanted an explanation so I told them what I knew...'

'Oh thanks, mate!'

'Hey, no problem,' Talec replied sarcastically, 'listen Rumbo it doesn't matter anymore. You've gotten over her, right?'

Rumbo fell silent. He bowed his head in shame.

'Oh...' Jelze started.

'I love her, that's all I'm going to say.' Rumbo replied, as he got up. He was about to walk away, when suddenly....

'DIE YOU CURSED RABBIT!' came a loud voice as Blade jumped out from his hiding place, trying to hack at Rumbo's legs as he jumped down. Rumbo rolled out the way, realising he was wielding his sword. Drawing out his golden sword from nowhere, Rumbo went at Blade, aiming for the chest. Blade stepped to the side and went for his back, but Rumbo was already ahead of him, as per usual, travelling through time so that he was right behind Blade. Rumbo kicked Blade on the back so he fell to the ground, head first.

'Cool!' Louie said.

'GET THEM!' Blade shouted as millions of vampires came out from everywhere.

'JESUS!' Jelze shouted as they approached.

'WE CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL!' Talec said to them, 'WE BEST LEG IT!'

Rumbo didn't listen, he did a cartwheel above Blade and smacked his foot down on his chest at a 90 degree angle, creating a loud thud on impact. Blade scremed with agony.

'RUMBO!' Louie shouted, 'behind you!'

Rumbo, as quick as a flash, placed his sword away and drew out his blaster. His coat flapped in the wind as he let rip tuns of wooden bullets at the oncoming vampires. They all went down, one by one.

Rumbo saw the others leaving and so ran after them, leaving Blade alone on the floor. A few minutes later, with the vampires running after the four rabbits (one being a vampire himself), Blade managed to get up, with mysterious white eyes....



-NOW WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE HE'S GOT THOSE?-

Whoops did I say steak! I meant stake lol......well a vampire might be tempted by a steak, might not be killed by one, unless the bones were VERY sharp



More of the story cummin soon



Rumbo

They ran through the wreckage as thousands of vampires ran after them. 'Blade' was nowhere to be seen. Up front was Talec and Louie, who had now revealled his large fangs.....

'JESUS!' Talec explained, 'You're a vampire too?'

Louie didn't reply. Instead he whacked Talec to the floor and tried to bit him on the neck.

'Oh no you don't!' Jelze shouted as he ran at Louie and punched him right on the mouth. Unfortunately this carelessness drove Louie's right fang through Jelze's paw, making him yelp with pain. Jelze grabbed at his hand as Louie fell backwards. Suddenly Rumbo came in, doing a somersault over Louie and went for the oncoming vampires. Drawing out his sword, rather then firing wood at them, he made his sword become brighter and brighter, so bright that the vampires could not withstand it. They shrieked as the light became too bright. Rumbo then finsihed them off by swiping his bright sword through their chests, actually killing them. He then went to the other side of the 3 rabbits (one turned into an evil vampire) and swiped the others, killing them also. He then ran back to Talec.

'Lets get out of here!' Rumbo shouted.

'What should we do with Louie?' Talec asked.

'Don't worry I knew he was a vampire, just a good one. His mind has been taken, like with Blade's earlier on. Nebula's possessing them.'

'Oh no...that means he could take you again...'

'Let's hope not, Jelze are you alright....Jelze...'

Jelze had fallen to the floor, his hand turning greener. He had been poisoned. He had to be treated fast.

'Damn it, we gotta get Jelze treated!' Talec shouted as the vampires came closer.

'Lets go!' Rumbo said as he picked up Jelze and Talec knocked Louie out, stopping Nebula from controlling him. They then all left the reckage, heading Northwards towards the hills.....



-End of Chapter 1-



Yeah sorry Louie, I wanted everyone to think you had become a baddie, but really you were possessed, like Blade was with those white eyes....

Wheeee! Nifty chapter, Rumbo

Write on..

`Ducky

uh-huh..

vampires cant poison people by biting them (but i guess you knew)

i hope to see a few changes in my character..



for the rest.. its a good story.



(and millions of vampires is a little to much huh?

um i said thousands so thats okay

Ever heard of "hyperboles", Slay? And vampires can carry poison within their bodies, can't they?



Anyway, continue, Rumbo! This rocks!

Chapter 2 - Treachery.

Lori, Spaz...



As Lori and Spaz sat alone in their cell, they realised there probably wasn't a way out. Without a doorway they had no chance of escaping. With every turn they made they found the same colourless, lifeless walls. They felt like the end was now for them, for Carrotus...

'Oh god,' Lori said, 'what are we to do? Carrotus is surely doomed out there. I can feel the pain of misery out there.'

'So can I sis,' Spaz replied, 'we just gotta sit tight and get out of here...somehow...'

Suddenly sombody appeared that made their wish come true. From a TIME warp came noneother then....

'TALEC!' Lori shouted as she realised who it was, running over to him and hugging him.

'It's okay, Talec said, 'I got caught up in some problems. I'm here to rescue you two.'

'About time!' Spaz replied, 'I mean how can we escape without a doorway?'

'Good point,' Talec said as he lead the two rabbits through the TIME warp and to the other end....'

The other end was not what they had expected...not even CLOSE. Talec slowly followed them from behind, an evil look in his eye....

Nope, ive never heard of hyperboles.. maybe you can tell me what they are. And no, vampires dont carry poison in their blood or whatever you think theyre carrying it in, thank you very much.

Maybe Nebula put it there



this rulez, CONTINUE please!

Intreging... (sp?)



Too bad I can't find my profile anymore...

Awesome! Have I just been possesed again? @_@



I just had this great idea... I think that I can combine my series into your universe and it would work out perfectly! I could make the stories take place just before and immediatly after Talec becomes a TIME guardian! Like the idea?



~Talec LP

Yeah that would be cool, Talec. More of the story commin monday....



rumbo

Great story so far, Rumbo!



Though seeing from what's going on makes me feel guilty...

Don't be, Doc......



As Spaz and Lori stepped through the portal, they werent inside the prison cell anymore.....they were in a place much much worse....



Talec, their so called friend, wasn't Talec....



Spaz and Lori found themselves on top of a very large skyscraper, which down the side had the banner entitled NEBULA on them. When they turned round to question Talec abut where they were, they saw that he wasn't Talec....he was somebody else, a dark red rabbit, Nebula.....



'Welcome to my humble abode, rabbits of the royal family of Old Carrotus,' he sneered, 'But I am afraid the royal family no longer exists. I made sure the Queen and Princess Eva were exterminated during the change.'

'You...you...' Spaz started...

Nebula raised his hands as if he was a mummie and pushed Spaz back, without even touching him. Spaz flew back onto the ground, his leg twisted from the landing.

Lori ran over to Spaz with fright, shouting, 'Why are you doing this?'

'WHY?' Nebula shouted, 'BECAUSE I OWN YOU ALL! I CREATED YOU AND YOUR PUNY LIVES. BUT NOW IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE...'

Lori and Spaz didn't know what to say. Lori picked Spaz up, who wobbled a little as he tried to stand. His leg was in sheer agony.

Suddenly, from the roofs surface came what looked like robotic rabbits, each the same and armed with laser guns, blasters of the future.

'This is what comes in the future, my friends,' Nebula said with a smile, 'but I thought they deserved to be beckoned years earlier, to the present of our day. TIME no longer has the power to control me...hahahahaha'

'I remember these robots,' Spaz commented...

'Yes, when Blade mande Blaze, a look-a-like of Rumbo. Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to him?'

Then from behind Nebula, in a TIME warp, came the mind controlled Blade, who staggered forward with a bruised chest...

'What happened?' Nebula shouted at him.

'He...he is still....'

'He? You mean...?'

'Rumbo...he's still alive...'

Lori's eyes widened.

'WHAT?'

'He's changed, he's more powerful...'

'Pah!' Nebula said, 'He will be no match for the creator of all worlds...'

'I get it!' Spaz said, 'You're controlling Blade so you can use TIME and bring things from the future...'

'And the past...with those vampire rabbits I summoned, which Blade here was meant to lead...'

'They got away, sir.'

'Who else was there?'

'Talec...the Last Patriot and Jelze Goldrabbit...'

'Yes, the new TIME Guardian, interesting...'

'What must I do now, sir?'

'Follw them! Find out where they are going. If you get into trouble tell them of my two...guests we shall call them.'

Lori and Spaz became more frightened.

'Yes, sir!' Blade said as he turned round and ran back into the warp, still clutching his chest.

'And now...' Nebula said, facing his guests, 'the fun of New Carrotus is about to begin...send out the robots!'

-Chapter 3: Resistance-



They reached the hills, no vampires in sight, except for Louie who didn't count...

They saw a small village up ahead. Jelze was getting worse. His neck was starting to turn green as well, plus the skin around his eyes was swelling.

'Oh god,' Talec said, 'we have to help Jelze now!'

'Lets head to that village!' Louie said

'....'

'Rumbo, whats wrong?'

'The village, look at it...dead rabbits...'

They all looked. In a row was about 10 dead rabbits, all shot by some kind of sub machine gun weapon...

'You think its safe in there?' Louie asked.

'Don't know...' Rumbo said, 'stay here!'

Rumbo ran off into the village, which lay beside a forest. He got into the village and realised the weapon was either a uzi or a minigun. He then saw a load of rabbit footsteps going into the forest, one pair being of a very large size. Rumbo only knew one person with that sized feet...

'Dr Jones...' he uttered quietly

'Hey!' Talec said to him from outside the village, 'everything okay?'

Just as Rumbo was about to shout back that it was, since the minigun that was used was Dr Jones', he felt a thud on the ground, coming from further north, from the large mountain range.

He then heard a voice come from the forest, a woman's voice...

'There's another creation in the village, you wanna take it Jones?'

'...Dr?' Rumbo said to himself....

'Never seen him before so I'll say yeah.'

Thats only because he'd never seen a rabbit wearing a large trech coat before. Besides he was looking at Rumbo from behind...



'Take him...' Wild Angel said to Dr Jones.

'Just as Dr Jones changed his hand to a minigun and was ready to fire, Rumbo Rabbit disappeared into TIME...

'Hey!' Dr Jones said, 'where did he...?'

'Right behind you, Dr...'

Wild Angel and Dr Jones suddenly turned round, seeing the cool looking rabbit before them. He was pointing a gun at them for his own safety.

'Hey who are you man?' Wild Angel said to him.

Dr Jones looked at him carefully, 'Do I kno you?'

'Jesus you can't even remember me, Doc?'

Jones recognised the voice, 'Rumbo?'

Wild Angel remembered the name, 'Rumbo Rabbit, the one who...'

'Killed himself to try and top Nebula, yes....' Rumbo finsihed the sentence for her.

'Hey whats going on over there?' Louie called out, who was standing with Talec (who had Jelze in his arms) in the middle of the village.

As Dr Jones turned round to see them, the ground shook again, this time sounding much closer. Sunddely from the mountains jumped a very large robotic creature, that landed about 20 feet away from Talec. The ground shook with such proportion that it knocked everyone to the floor.

'Oh no...' Talec said out loud.

Louie shouted out, 'Rumbo help us!'

Rumno ran over to them, doing a somersault over Wild Angel and Dr Jones, landing perfectly on his feet.

'Lets take this...' Rumbo said...



-Let battle commence-



Rumbo, Talec and Louie vs TITAN, Nebula's first large creation.

'How are we gonna take this?' Talec said.

Rumbo was silent, he was observing the robot, with the name TITAN written across the front.

Suddenly there was a loud boom as Dr Jones let rip his minigun onto the TITAN's body. It had little effect. The TITAN screeched, sticking his foot out to hit Rumbo. Rumbo rolled out the way, drawing out his blaster at the same time. Talec drew his out also.



-Enter Dr Jones and Wild Angel-



'Nice to meet you guys, I guess,' Wild Angel said to them as she got her uzi's out.

'I'm going round the back!' Rumbo said, running towards the TITAN.

'RUMBO!' Louie called out.

Rumbo did a magnificant jump right over the TITAN, who was quite tall considering the comparison between it and the rabbits.

Rumbo landed on the otherside, placing his blaster away and taking out his golden sword.

Rumbo noticed a large cannister on its back, the fuel tank...

'DISTRACT IT!' Rumbo said, preparing himself. His sword started to turn whiter.

'Jesus!' Talec said, firing at the TITAN's head; a pefect hit on its forehead. The TITAN screeched again and out from its left arm came three missiles, each firing one after the other. Talec grabbed Jelze and ran as the missiles struck the ground, luckily not hitting Louie as he dodged as well.

Dr Jones and Wild Angel fired at the gap that the missiles had come from. Doing this caused the other missiles still inside to explode, destroying its left arm.

'HA HA!' Wild Angel said out loud to it.

From the TITAN's right arm came a very long blade, almost a sword. He started to slash at the ground, almost hitting Dr Jones. Louie took Jelze as Talec jumped up and shot at the blade's joint with the arm, which unfortunately withstood the shooting.



Rumbo's sword was at its brightest...



Dr Jones tried shooting as well but unfortunately had little effect, only chipping a small bit off its flaky outside skin (out of the 20 that was actually there)



Suddenly they heard a loud whimper as Rumbo Jumped up and began hacking madly at the uel canister, causing fuel to spread out everywhere as small trails, looking like a tree pattern from above. Rumbo landed back down onto the ground behind the fuel...

'Everyone, get back!' Rumbo ordered, making everyone step away. They knew what he was about to do. Placing his bright, HOT, golden sword onto the fuel, the fuel set alight and began to make the tree pattern light up, trailing right towards the TITAN's fuel capsule. After only a few seconds the fuel had travelled right up to the fuel canister, which at first made a wild screech and then began to explode, making the TITAN fall to the ground as its whole body began to explode. Scraps and shards of metal flew out in all directions as the explosions became wilder and bigger....soon there was nothing left of the TITAN except for parts of its legs that had survived.



Everyone watched as Rumbo just stood there without a grin on his face, looking ultra cool...
