Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
The madness continues from Part 2.
We’ll kick off this thread with a reprise of Agrrrfishi’s movie trailer:
Date: November 22, 2008
Categories: Hot-Pink Bunnies, RRRs, RPWs, and RPGs

I had traveled to the Dungeon of Horrors and been given guard duty. Xeer never saw me, fortunately, or he would have instantly promoted me to second-in-command and that would be good-bye to my plan. Then one day, a few weeks after I was given my guard duty, there was the incident.
I had been waiting at my post for something to happen when there was an enormous explosion a few hallways down. And in a dungeon, explosion can only mean one thing… a break-out.
I hurried in that direction. When I reached the hallway, what I found was organized chaos. No, check that. It was just chaos. A few of the original musebloggers had broken out and were engaged with the guards. I quickly raised my blaster and shot one of the bunnies. Another saw him fall, turned and saw me, and exclaimed, “William, you son of a-”
Then there was a bright flash of light, and everything went white.
((awesome trailer, by the way. Would have been even better with a song track.))

I have the red hair. Anyone else? After this I promise I won’t bother with it again. Instead, I’m going to make a youtube specifically for the BA and BA:TNG videos and trailers and posters.))

((Meanwhile, back at the Base…))
I examined Padme closely. “Well, what should we do?” said I.
“Do?” said Groundhog. “Save Padme, you dolt!”
“Don’t get your lightsaber clogged((a saying, soming along the lines of ‘Don’t get too mad’)).” I said. “You have a Psionic Enchancer, I presume?”
Everyone just stared at me. “What?” said ZVX.
I sighed. “Ok…how about a hunk of titaconium, 2 reflective psionic crystals, and assorted electrodes?”
“Why, sure.”
“Well, I need those things now.” I said in my voice of command. “I think I know how to save Padme.”
((It should be ready in 2-3 months. Hee Hee.))

Suddenly, a new warrior emerges…
and runs in tying to figure out what’s going on.

The mist rises as I walk cautiously through the moonlit rainforest, which is almost unbearably quiet. Normally it would be teeming with life and sounds. Not even the crashing waterfall in the distance can be heard. It is silent. Not a peaceful silence; a silence full of tension and fear. Almost as if something were waiting for me. Suddenly I feel an urge to draw my blaster. Two tiny hot pink dots are flaoting over the horizon. Getting bigger and bigger. I blast two energy bolts and then run for life; when i look back, i notice that the dawn is spreading a hot pink glow over the forest. Then I see it: a huge tower that looks exactly like one of the trees except for the hot pink door at the bottom of it. I’ve found the secret HPB Headquarters #001. I think to myself, I must infiltrate that tower without them noticing. A misson that may cost many lives.

“Too dangerous,” I said. “It would be simpler to keep her a controlled sleep–”
“Yes, but not faster.” said Slythix in perfect command mode. “We can’t manage without her.”
“No,” said Groundhog glumly. “We can’t.”
“Battle tactics. Do your job, both of you.” Cerre growled at me and Slythix. “You’d better come up with a good plan. If you don’t, you’ll have blood on your hands, if you’re still alive, that is.”

((Aggie- The. Movie. Totally. Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am flattered to be represented in it as a cat. I thought up my username because I am a serious cat lover. So being represented as a cat is a dream. In the trailer, is the guy with his hood up and wearing weaponry reminds me of TGYPWYA.))
((18- YOU VINDICTIVE, ARROGANT KID!!!!! DON’T YOU DARE KILL OFF MY CHARACTER!!!!! *ends rant*))
((If you guys could save me soon, that would be great. I really don’t want to miss the fight, so please ditch the controlled sleep idea. Well, maybe not entirely. But I do want to be up for the battle if you don’t mind.))
‘Groundhog’s appearance filled me with hope. I heard Tarnug snarling in annoyance at the invading light. I felt the bonds around me tighten again as Tarnug tried to keep the light at bay. The renewed pressure got me screaming again. It also seemed like the light was fading slightly- Tarnug was winning.
“You see, biped?” snickered Tarnug in my ear. “Your human friends are too weak to save you… you have no chance against me… give up Padme… you cannot resist…” As he spoke, the warmth that had come with Groundhog’s appearance vanished. Her light deminished, almost out. The ice was invading again, this time in the form of icy tongues of fire, like whips (like the Balrog’s whip, just icy instead of burning fire). Tarnug giggled.
“Prepare yourself, weakling…” There was a cracking sound as the whip struck me, burning my mind worse than any flame. I shrieked in agony as he struck again, and again… I lost count as a haze of pain overtook me. Tarnug, sensing my weakness, crowed in triumph, lifting his whip for a terrible blow…’
*begins to scream in agony, eyes changing faster than ever* *thrashes around like crazy* *fever flying*
Cerre ran over to Padme as she started convulsing again. She took one look and then turned right back to ZVX and Slythix.
“She’s dying.” said Cerre flatly. “If you two don’t get your affairs in order THIS INSTANT, that black bunny will win over her mind. Once he does that, there’ll be no way to bring her back if we destroy the bunny’s essence. He will have killed her.”
((BTW- I think Groundhog still has one of those really old depigmitizer darts- the ones that suck out the essence of a bunny trying to control someone’s mind/mindshape. That might be a good way to cure me *Hint, hint!*))

WARNING! PLOT TWIST AHEAD!
Aggie:
Kittymine did not appear to be moving, and Kokonilly was urriedly trying to revive her while Zinc fended off Xeer. I got to my feet, grabbing Aaron’s arm.
“We’ve got to do something!” I hissed. Xeer was steadily weakening Zinc, and although he was not as large as his father had been, he was very strong. I unsheathed a lightsaber that I had stolen on my way in from the cargo ship on which we had been transported, but before I could make a swinging blow to the back of the bunny’s black head, someone’s monstrous fist grasped around my thin wrist and squeezed it. I heard a crack, and crumpled to the floor, clutching my arm and gasping with surprise.
The pain was agonizing, and I raised my head slowly with all my strength to see who had commited this terrible act. A shock so forceful that it almost knocked the wind out of me met my eyes. A familiar, bone chilling face, marred and burned and torn apart, stared back at me with fierce brown eyes.
“J-justin?” I choked, my worst fears confirmed.
Oh, so YOU remeber me, do you?” the evil, deep voice asked in a raspy whisper. “Well, take a good look, you canniving vixen, because I’m going to be the last thing you ever SEE!” And his club-like hands began to bring a thick bludgeoning sword down upon me.
“NO!” Aaron yelled for the second time, and leapt in front of me. His thick arms grabbed the sharp blade of the sword and wrenched it from Justin’s grip. He bent the metal tip in half and cast it to the ground. I shot a quick glance at the dueling couple beside us. Zinc was neary out of energy, and her lightsaber strokes were growing slower than Xeer’s. Something about the evil bunny’s eyes seeme to be pusing her down, away, into the ground.
Meanwhile, Aaron and Justin were grappling with one another, Justin’s long black cloak swirling around his ankles as his torso swung back and forth with his lightsaber. I could not believe it. How could Justin have possible survived the explosion? And now he stood before me as he had once done, but with a mask of a face under which I could hardly identify him. Aaron seemed disheartened, and about to collapse from the shock of seeing his half-brother in the flesh after so mny years of believing his death.
Justin sent a long blow from the tip of his saber striking into Aaron’s leg as he left this vital area exposed, and I scrambled to catch him as he fell with an ‘o’ of surprise lingering on his mouth.
“Leave him alone!” I cried, half angry and half pleading. I knew that Justin was strong, but never this strong.
“I know no pity,” he hissed, brown eyes laced with a blood red glint. “And you deserve none.” He spat this last sentance in our faces. I shielded Aaron with my arms, fear that I had never experienced beating in my heart. I wasn’t as strong as I had been when Justin and I had first met, and now he was much stronger. I could hear the fierce beating of Aaron’s heart against my hands. He was furoius, and had I not been restraining him he might have leapt up and tried to tear Justin to pieces. But Justin was the one with the weapon and Aaron was not. The odds were not in our favor.

I sneak in through the door while the guards are changing, and I find the inner chamber, where a strange glowing white sphere hovers in the air in the center of the circular room. A black bunny enters the sphere, whispers a destination, and dissapears. Finally, I’ve found the transportal; how bunnies can get everywhere. I enter and whisper the words: “Take me to Padme.” Suddenly a large flash of white light blinds me for a moment, and suddenly I am standing next to Justin, blasting him into oblivion. One problem solved. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000… etc. to go. Yeesh.

As the smoke cleared, I saw a odd man lying on the floor.
I was slightly surprised.
“Who is this gentleman?” I asked. “And when will I get my materials?”
“Question 1:” spat a girl I didn’t know yet. “That’s Justin. And he’s not a gentleman.”
“And question 2?”
No one answered. I couldn’t blame them. This Justin fellow looked like bad news.

((30: Nice post, but do remember I’ve never watched more than one Star Wars movie (PM). But I GUESS I can use a lightsaber… *sigh* Also, when will you do it? I would prefer you have it up on Youtube by Thanksgiving; I get access to a unblocked computer then.))
ZINC:
My arms were starting to feel like lead. Xeer gained the upper hand, and I the lower. I heard a cry from the direction of Aggie and Aaron. My attention diverted from my fight to see what was happening, and I gasped. Justin, that traitorous pile of wung droppings! In that second I was distracted, Xeer hit my leg, and I cried out in pain. My right side crippled, and I fought to remain upright. He hit my left arm, and I nearly got his leg, but he got out of the way in time. I was weakening fast. If I fell unconsicous, which was inevitable, I would most surely die. I already felt my lids growing heavy with the strain of the fight, and my breathing became labored.
One thing was for sure- I was about to die.

(( 33- The person you picked as Baylee looks incredibly hilarious in there (lemme guess, James Bond?). Good choice of music, it’s awesome!
Now back to the story.))
I was still in the gym. Even though I’d been practicing for a long time, I still wasn’t tired. The entire time I was thinking about a way to save Padme.
“Wait!” I cried. “That’s it!” I dropped the sword I had and ran back to my room. My pack was sitting on my bed. Quickly, I rummaged through it and found what I was looking for. A small vile full of a dark blue liquid. It was what they used to cover their depigmitizer darts with.
I quickly ran to the room where Padme was and entered it looking anxious. “I believe this might work.” I said.

((Might be a kind of long post here.))
I slowly opened my eyes and realized I was sitting in a wooden chair. Two bunnies in labcoats were talking, their backs to me. We were in a room filled with vials and beakers. Slowly, I reached for my holster. Good – my blaster was still there. What morons. Even slower, I stood up quietly. Then I quickly whipped my blaster out and said, “Freeze.”
They whirled around, pulling out their blasters. One of them shot a beaker on a table in front of us. It exploded, the green contents pouring all over the floor. We leaped back and I used that instant to point my blaster at them again and say, “Drop your guns or you die.” They slowly lowered their blasters. Then one grinned and said, “Look down.”
I looked. For a second, I could see some of the green stuff getting onto my shoe. Oh. Not good. After that second, I nearly got zapped in the foot with a blaster bolt. I ran out of the room as I heard one of them ordering a bunny squad after me. I ran through the corridors for an hour more, the bunny squad close on my heels. Soon, I came to the cellar I am in now.
Now, I must reveal a secret. My father told me this, and I feel ashamed to be betraying him. But I know it is my duty. Xeer is planning to-
Suddenly, I stopped writing. My slow headache had stopped, only to be replaced with a sudden drop in my heart rate. I clutched my chest. I was dying.
I looked around, desperate for something. There was a small bottle full of blue stuff next to my foot. I didn’t know what it was, but it was worth a try. I grabbed it and gulped it down. Instantly the pain stopped. I slowly stood up, clutching my journal, and walked over to where I thought the stairs were. I climbed up and listened against the trap door. Nothing. Maybe they were gone.
I opened it up and looked around. Nothing. I quietly got out and closed the door. I headed through the fortress, looking for something to do. Suddenly, there was a far-off shout. I ran in that direction, hoping I could help the musers. I soon was running down a long corridor. I rounded a corner into another room, where there was a vicious battle going on, and pointed my blaster at the back of the neck of a bunny (from his size and fighting style, I think I knew who this was).
“FREEZE!”

“We haven’t got much more time.” said Slythix, smiling slightly. “So the robo-attack is completely necessary. I suggest you attack at midnight, tonight.”
Cerre and I glanced at each other. “We’ll be killed.”
Slythix grinned. “I said you, not the Resistance. Face it–you’re assassins. We need you to assassinate some bunnies.”
I raised my eyebrows. “Yes. That seems logical, but a war leader is needed.”
“Yes,” he remarked. “I suggest you place Groundhog and I in charge of counseling the kids in battle tactics. They won’t be completely free of instruction, but they will be able to help command a battle. You two shouldn’t have to always take care of that–face it–you like to command. But, that excepted, you’re not always able to hold sway. Do this, and–”
“Slythix, I know. I’ve killed so many bunnies I lost count when I was twelve. So actually, we could carry out the mission. Would you?” I asked Cerre.
“Yes. For you–for the Resistance.”
I set my blaster handgun on the table. “We’ll do it.”

((AGGIE, you’ve done it again! 
And thanks for putting me as Padme.))
“No – NO! Kittymine!” I frantically tried to revive Kittymine. She remained limp. “Hold on,” I muttered. I pulled a little bottle out of my pocket. “This should save you… If it doesn’t…” I blinked away tears. I dribbled some of the potion into her mouth. There was nothing more I could do. I stood up and looked around. Aggie was restraining Aaron from… who?
Justin.
My blood boiled. He was going to kill both Aggie and Aaron!
Without thinking, I tackled Justin.

Suddenly, a whole flock of fling black bunnies dropped out of the sky, wielding flamethrowers. “holy Wung buttons!” I thought to myself, trying to figure out a way to defeat them. then I saw Zinc, and that struck a different tone in me. I spun around and around, blasting like a madman, till all the bunnies had been taken out. Then I advanced on Xeer from behind, ready to fight to the death. I drew my blaster rifle, and with one quick ‘spzzzzzik!’ he was gone. Not dead, but gone. I knew he’d be back. And when he came, I’d be ready.

((*sigh* Now to wait till Thanksgiving to watch the new vid. *dies of impatience*))
Through my closing lids I saw Xeer advance, grinning diabolically. Then, someone came up from behind Xeer and shot a blast near him. But before the blast made contact with the rabbit, Xeer pressed something near his wrist. The object made a sound that sounded like ‘spzzzzzik!’ and he was gone. En’s blaster shot sailed over my head and hit the wall behind me, and a piece of metal came down upon my head. Instantly, I fell unconscious.
((Remember during part 5, when I lost my memory for a bit? Well, I’m planning to have that when I get hit on the head really hard, I have a bout of amnesia for about an hour. So, I’ll have lost my memory and have an injured arm and leg. Hehe. ))

Okay, that sounded really scathing and I’m sorry, but I have no idea why you felt the need to go off and try to find the parents by yourself…. Possibly you could just scratch your last RPing post and be going to find some old Resistance friends to help or something (*coughcoughPOSOCcough*) (Yeah, I don’t give up, do I…. But I think POSOC’s officially MIA, so it’s really pretty pointless in any case…) instead? Would that be helpful?))

“Very good” I said. “Now then, I just do this…”
A laser handgun lay on the table. “Higher power.”
“Very good.” noted ZVX. “But how will that help?”
“Get all the guns. And I mean all. It doesn’t take much training to modify for extra power.” I said. “Even you can help.”
“Ahem.” said ZVX. “We still have to make robots.”
“Fine. Get the materials. How many needed?”
“1,500.”

Suddenly, Justin’s face took on a quick look of shock as he was viciously tackled by Kokonilly from behind. I saw Kittymine’s eyelids flutter feebly, and she awoke. She fel her forehead, and, when she found that she was all right, spotted Zinc and Xeer and unsheathed her lightsaber. She dashed over and began taking fierce swings at Xeer’s thick skull.

So you can go in and fight some bunnies- there are bunnies there, it is a base after all- and find out that no one is there. And possibly find out some other info. on the way.))
((55- The adults are fighting with Xeer and Justin in the Dungeon of Horror. The kids are in the mess hall eating. A bunch of people (Groundhog, ZVX, Slythix, Baylee, Tarnug’s body, Zena, Cerre, etc.) are in Padme’s medical room either thinking up a way to fix her since she’s dying (don’t ask- see post 28)

LISS:
I got up from the table, bilious. I breezed past the rest of the tables, and strided out of the door. I walked down the hallway to my room. My room was in an out of the way hallway, so no one would bother me. Suddenly, I felt someone clutch my arm. In one movement, I got en’s throat in my fist and my blaster to en’s temple. En gave a small squeak. I released my grasp. it was just that kid I had trained.

I turned back to Aaron, who was composing his bleeding leg and attempting to get back on two feet.
“Are you all right?” I cried, noticing this complication for the first time in its’ entirety.
“Fine”, he muttred, and stood to attention behind Xeer. Then, with a fierce WHACK, he sent a large-fisted blow into the back of the bunn’s head. I turned back to Justin, where he and Nilly were fighting fiercely with one another. I drew my lightsaber and dived into the chaos.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to me. I yanked open a nearby drawer and pulled out a dart with a small sac at the end. I took the plastic cap off of the needle and jabbed the needle into Padme’s arm. The sac expanded, wiggling slightly. “There.” I said. “I had forgotten about these things–they can suck out a mindshape invader’s spirit from someone’s body. Now all that remains to be done is to make sure that her mind is still all right even after the beating that Tarnug gave it. I’m going to drop this thing in the vaporizer, just in case.” I walked out of the infirmary, heading towards the large recycling drop in the wall. I dropped the whole dart in there, waiting for the pop that indicated that the vaporizer had done its job. I heard the pop, but with it came a scream that I assumed was the sound of Tarnug’s spirit dying. Good riddance. I thought, heading back to the infirmary.

(Sorry I haven’t been here but Hot Pink Homework is attacking me viciously.)
I wandered out of the inferminary because it seemed that Groundhog had cured Padme. I walked down a hallway and into my room. I sat on my bed and stared at the wall. I thought to myself, I have five days to get ready to destroy hundreds of bunnies. I got up and went to the gym with one of my bags. I took out a small box and set it down. The box rose and started showing holograms of bunnies. The difference was that the holograms actually shot lazers. I took out the modified lazer blaster for the training exercise and proceeded to start destroying bunnies. I unleashed all my fury and anger on it and soon was in a state where all that existed was me and my target. They call it battle rage.

((Can we please find some way to get the kids back into the action? Other than being pretty boring for everyone who only has a kid character, it’s a bit unrealistic to have the kids be eating for all this time, oblivious to all the gunshots and near-murders and stuff going on right outside the dining hall…..))

She’d never understand what’s wrong, never understand the pain and loneliness I’ve felt, never, never…

(Hey could someone find me in the gym fighting in blind rage. I think it would be interesting if I had a problem with going into a rage every time I saw a bunny. I want the action to come back to the kids again too. I am with them and I could use someone to talk to.)

((Here’s an idea:
The kids would have noticed the commotion in Padme’s room when Tarnug first attacked. After following the proceedings for a while, they all went down to the mess hall to eat, hoping Padme would be okay. Now they are all finished eating and are bored silly and itching to investigate all of the gunshots and such. So now that Padme is cured, the adults can all exit (cept maybe Groundhog, depending) and go back to training the kids since WE ONLY HAVE 5 DAYS BEFORE WE NEED TO GO TO THE DUNGEON OF HORROR!!!!!!!!))
((72- Julianne is busy fighting with a bunch of bunnies, Xeer, and Justin in the Dungeon of Horror with the adults. As far as I know she is still conscious. Charlie is with the other kids in the mess hall, the ones who are bored.))
‘…and then lowered it suddenly, his ears cocked for some reason. I was just about to wonder what had made him pause when suddenly a terrible shrieking sound hit me. Tarnug was writhing, twisting, convulsing in agony. The icy bonds around me began to loosen themselves. And then he was gone- my mind was all my own, not invaded by him any longer. I gave up fighting and sank into blissful unconsciousness…’
Groundhog shoved the needle into Padme’s arm. The little sac filled up with a billowing black substance. Taking no chances, Groundhog dropped the dart into the incinerator. She turned back to Padme to find her lying limply on the cot, her breathing steady and her fever lessened. Groundhog lifted her eyelid- Padme’s eyes were green again, no longer pink and glowing. With a sigh of relief, Groundhog called out the door.
“ZVX, she’s better.” said Groundhog in a tired voice.

((64 – I thought Xeer teleported out?))
Sometimes, slicing someone in half with a lightsaber doesn’t get the message across. So when I got to Justin, instead of cutting him in half, I turned it off and clubbed him on the head.
Big mistake.
He winced, growled, turned on the spot, pulling out his own lightsaber, and leapt at me.

“ZVX, Padme is better.” I said.

BA.
I attempted to remember my viewing of Miss Congeniality, realizing that was the only form of fighting lessons I had ever taken. I used that to the best of my ability as we fought. I heard a CRACK and felt blood, then realized that I had broken his nose. Maybe Miss Congeniality had worked after all.
It was going well in my favor, then Aggie jumped in. With a lightsaber. I narrowly avoided having a finger cut off as I scampered away, Aggie and Justin fought. Justin had blood all over his face. I touched mine and winced. I had several small cuts.
I looked over at Kittymine. She looked perfectly healthy.
And then she saw me. She looked horrified at what she saw.
What did she see? I wondered.
Then I passed out.

JULIANNE:
Suddenly, everything was happening so fast that I couldn’t keep up. A bunch of people were fighting, there was at least one bunny, I wasn’t sure whose side who was on, and I really didn’t know how to use this blaster! No one had seemed to notice me yet, so I hid as best I could and tentatively tried to find the trigger on my blaster, which I pointed at that Justin person. I was assuming he was the bad guy. Suddenly, Kokonilly collapsed in a heap. She didn’t look good- was she dead? Even though I barely knew her, I couldn’t just let this Justin person kill her! Now he was fighting with Aggie. Someone else shot a blaster, so I took advantage of that moment and shot at the wall. Just to see how the stupid thing worked. Luckily, I had found the trigger on the first try. Trying to keep my hand from shaking, I found something on the blaster that said “Stun” and pushed it. Then, pointing the blaster at Justin, I pulled the trigger.
CHARLIE:
((muselover? I’m going to have to PP you.))
I was vaguely aware of some sort of chaos going on in some other part of the building. When I concentrated on it, I could only see vague pictures of a black bunny and a girl. Tarnug, I thought, shuddering. It was moving too fast for me to see, so I gave up on it and gave my dishes to the robot. A bunch of other kids came into the mess hall and ate. None of them talked to me; it appeared that they were too worried. I concentrated on the girl again and felt a moment of panic, then… peace. She was all right. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to one of the other kids. “She’s OK,” I said.
“How do you know?” asked one of them.
“I just do,” I said, not wanting to reveal my… gift? power? I wasn’t sure what to call it.
They stared at me suspiciously, but accepted my judgment.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. I quickly glanced at the others to see if they knew about it, but they were oblivious. When I searched, I saw a bunny and some guards. I could tell the bunny didn’t want to hurt anyone. There was only one bunny I knew like that.
Then there was a knock at the door. One of the others ran to get it, and screamed- it was a bunny!

WARNING! SLIGHT BLOOD!
Suddenly, a terrible look came over Nilly’s face,and she collapsed. I gasped in terror, wanting to lean down and help her, but just as I was about to pull her up, Justin lashed out at my hand and sliced my wrist. I shrieked in pain. Aaron lept to his feet, and with a growl of rage he tackled Justin and began grappling with him, using a short dagger he had found on the ground earlier. I raised my lightsaber with my other hand and took fierce swings at Justin’s exposed torso. Then, a sudden stun shot from an unidentified blaster flew inches past my head and hit Justin square in the face. He froze, and collapsed. I turned to see who had shot the blaster. It was Julianne. She crept over quickly and quietly behind the still raging battle between Xeer, Zinc and Kittymine and tried to revive Kokonilly.
“Thank you”, I whispered, not knowing what else to say.
“Great shot,” remarked Aaron to Julianne with commendation, and then noticed my wound. Quickly, with one eye still on the unmoving Justin, he bandaged it using a piece of cloth from the robe that justin had been wearing at that now lay in a heap at my feet.

I stalked back into the hospital room. “Good, she’s better. Slythix has suggested that we–that is, Cerre and I–make an advance attack on the Dungeon of Horror. There is a minuscule chance that we will be discovered immediately, but we’re going to provide a distraction. If top command bunnies are being found, dead, all over the place, then I think they will give us more time. Of course, the adults are there, we might be able to contact them.”
“You have to.” said Groundhog. A simple statement. “I don’t want to, due to your usefulness for training the kids, but you will have to. The Resistance has gone too long without striking a heavy blow. Now, modify your weapons on the way. And, make sure to communicate. Good bye, old friend.”
“Good bye, Groundhog.”

JULIANNE:
It worked. I shot Justin, and now he was stunned long enough for the others to figure out what to do with him. I crept behind the bunnies and tried to figure out what was wrong with Kokonilly, still watching Justin out of the corner of my eye. Aggie thanked me, and Aaron commended me on my shooting. I was embarrassed. “I’m not that great a shot,” I said, checking Kokonilly for broken bones. “I can’t tell why she passed out. She’s got slices all over her face; that’s definitely going to leave a mark, but it hasn’t damaged anything permanently.” I felt her head. “Now there’s the source of the problem.” I pulled out a tiny dart. “I bet that’s got some kind of poison or something that stunned her. Since it’s pink, I’m assuming a bunny shot it. We have to get the poison out of her system right away.”
They were both staring at me. “When did you learn all this?” Aggie asked me, seeming a bit awed.
“Didn’t I tell you? I was a nurse before the bunnies captured me. I knew about the Bunny Wars, but had never taken part in them. However, I had to deal with several wounds of this sort at the hospital.”
Suddenly, I noticed that Aggie was hurt. “Let me look,” I said. She winced as I took the makeshift bandage off. “You have to find a way to clean it out, or it’ll get infected. What it really needs is stitches, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. We have to get out of here before the bunnies notice us. Aggie, come with me. We’ll take Kokonilly and try to revive her. Aaron, take Justin somewhere else and make sure he doesn’t try anything. Hurry!” We ran for the passage, dragging Kokonilly.

((okay, judging by what’s been going on we ditched the Venice idea. Good.))
((I-Man: as far as I know, Xeer vanished once he saw that the adults were getting rid of all his henchbunnies. I would assume that you vanished with him or you’re still in the room (i keep forgetting- are you good or not?). ))
KITTYMINE:
I woke up suddenly to find Kokonilly leaning over me. I had a brief coughing fit.
“Kitty? Are you okay?”
“I think so,” I responded, stretching and checking for any injuries. There weren’t any. I stood up and grabbed my blaster, shooting at any bunny in sight. I also noticed that Justin had come into the fray. Dang, that guy was still alive? I shot some blasts at him, but he dodged them somehow. I turned around to shoot another bunny when I saw something. Something really bad. A large HPB was standing silently behind Kokonilly aiming a gun at her. Before I could yell, it let fly a small dart which hit Kokonilly’s neck. She collapsed immediately.
Justin was knocked out and the fight was over. We all ran over to Kokonilly. Julianne demonstrated her medical knowledge before running off with Aggie and Kokonilly. Aaron began dragging Justin out of the room (the door had reappeared again). I walked up to him.
“Need a hand?”
PADME
I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar room with a really bad headache. I mean, my whole head felt like it was filled with cement and I couldn’t look upward without feeling intense pain behind my eyeballs. I also felt a bit feverish and sick. I groaned slightly, trying to roll over. I felt a hand on my forehead.
“Padme- how are you feeling?” asked Groundhog.
“Blah,” I croaked, my throat dry. Groundhog handed me a cup of water which I glugged down gratefully.

“Well, I suppose we should be off. And how do we get there? I, of course, have my convertible sub.” I asked.
“A convertible sub?”
“In simple terms, an APV(All Purpose Vehicle).” I answered and returned to my work. “Meanwhile, I have laser guns to modify.”

I looked down at Padme concernedly. “Tarnug’s gone now.” I said. “And most of the adults are heading off to the Dungeon of Horror to begin the assault. Once we’re done training, we’ll follow them. But right now, we need to concentrate on repairing the beating that Tarnug gave to your mind. You’re probably feeling sick right now. Actually, there’s nothing at all wrong with your body, it’s just your mind feeling the effects of Tarnug’s previous presence in it. I’m going to give you a little help with getting rid of that feeling.” I reached out with the Force and found that her mind was tired but only marginally hurt. I let some of my strength flow into her, hoping that that would help her mind to recover.

I looked behind me. Xeer was nowhere in sight. Kittymine and Zinc rushd over quickly. Julianne and I began to drag the limp Kokonilly through a door that had appeared at the end of the hallway, and Aaron did the same with Justin, Kittymine lending him a helping hand seeing as his leg was cut and bleeding profusely. I was worried. He seemed to be losing more blood by the second. Zinc followed, guarding our backs with a blaster in case of surprise attack.
“What now?” asked Kittymine softly as the door shut and disappeared behind us, leaving us behind in a dimly lit corridor.
“We need to find a way out of here,” replied Zinc, still holding the blaster with her good arm.
“I judge that the chances of that are 0 percent,” remarked Aaron sarcastically, but he winced as Kittymine accidentally stepped on his foot.
“Sorry!” she cried.
“Ssssh!” I whispered. “We don’t need them finding us again.”
“What we do need is a medical room,” remarked Julianne. “And, if I recall right, there’s one near the middle of this place.”
“How do you know?” I asked.
“they dragged Charlie and I all over the place when…” She cut off, hanging her head and snuffling a bit. I patted her shoulder.
“Come on there, pull yourself together. First we need somewhere to stash him.” I pointed in a slightly accusatory manner to the limp and scarred figure that Aaron and Kittymine held off the floor.
“How about here?” Aaron gestured to a corner. I had a flashback to the last time I had seen Justin, left helplessly bound in a straitjacket on the Emperial Bunny Cruiser over twelve years ago.
“Good enough,” I said, “but we need to make sure he can’t escape. Any suggestions?”

LISS:
I sat in my nondescript room, staring at the blank wall. When I was a child, my walls had been covered by photographs taken by yours truly. These walls were a dull creme, and that was all I needed. I got up from the bed, restless and disgruntled. I was supposed to feel numb right now; supposed to feel nothing, nothing at all. But now, I felt rage, depression, and something I couldn’t place…
Remorse?
No, it couldn’t be remorse. Why would I feel remorse, of all people? Anything I did was nothing to what the bunnies did to me. Still, there was a small twinge of regret in my mind. I tried ignoring it, and the rest of the feelings too. I got up from the bed, and strided out. I went down someodd hallway, and ended up in front of a training room. Good, I thought. Something to take my mind off of… my mood. My hand gripped the doorknob, and I forcefully pushed the door open.
What I came upon was an intresting scene.
Zorgon was there, shooting like a madman. My gaze fell upon what he was fighting. Bunnies. I instinctively got into my battle stance, shoulders tensing. Then I saw a small little box. Holographic images. I relaxed. I walked over next to Zorgon, dodging lasers effortlessly. Years of constant struggle had paid off. I pointed my gun at the projector, and shot. The streak of light passed through the barrage of holograms, and hit the machine. The bunnies blinked out. But just before the last one went out, en shot one more blast, directed straight at my neck, and I quickly shot it and it disappeared.

“Hey, ZVX!” I called as I rounded the corner. “I just finished the prototype for a one-man fighter/bomber so we can strike bunny holdings fast and get out faster and…” I gasped for breath. “Oh, *pant* hey Slythix. I suppose you’d like to check out the RX-20 too.”
“RX-20?”
“Yeah I made some major improvements to an Air Force prototype. It can carry as many weapons as a cruiser, can hit Mach 11, and…” I paused. “Am I interrupting something?”

There was a secret entrance to the dungeon of horror. A ventilation shaft thing, actually. The bunnies had put motion detectors inside, but I was able to crawl veeery slowly and disable them. I left the shaft and found myself in a hallway, filled with security cameras and bunnies. Somehow, I managed to sneak past them all. Venturing through the base, I started hearing faint shouts and cries from somewhere above. Then I found blast marks and dead bunnies all over the place. It must be the prisoners. “Kittymine! Zinc! Nilly! Where are you?”

We were just figuring out what to do with Justin when we heard shouts coming from behind us. Actually, it was only one shout, but it was echoing around. Without further ado I dropped Justin unceremoniously and pulled out my blaster, aiming at the passage we just came from. The others pulled out their weapons, tensed for a fight. We waited for what seemed like eons until the sound of footsteps reached our ears. I raised my blaster a little higher- the en walking seemed to be on the taller side, judging by those footsteps. Then the figure came around the corner and I froze in shock.

Sudeenly, thre were faint yells fromk behind us. I culn’t mke out what was being said through the door, but if it was bunnies, we were unarmed and soon to be history.
“QUICK! HIDE!” hissed Zinc, and we shoved through an open passageway into a small closet. Justin was abandoned outside.
The door outside flew open. Someone came into the passageway, yelling “Hello? Is anyone here?”
Igasped. I recognised tat voice.
“IBCF!” I cried, bursting out of the closet.
The others followed me out, nearly engulfing the new arrival as he appeared in his entirety. It was such a relief to see someone we knew, some brief symbol of rescue from the outside world.
“But what…How?’ asked Zinc, eyes wide with surprise and glee.
“I found the debris you left behind and came looking,” he replied, looking relieved to see us alive.
“Oh,no…They didn’t capture you too, did they?” asked Kttymine.
“No, I found you all first” he replied, brushing off his slightly dusty blaster.

“IBCF. He’s another Resistance member,” she explained.
“Who’s this?” IBCF asked.
CHARLIE:
((Zinc, can you be the kid who opened the door? Or can someone else do it? There was a bunny, remember, and it’s going to be muselover- who we’re PPing because he’s not showing up- and Charlie’s going to recognize him and tell the other kids not to freak out…))

“I have a splitting headache,” I told Groundhog matter-of-factly. She looked at me sympathetically.
“That’s because your brain suffered quite a bit of injury from Tarnug.” I rolled my eyes, then wished I hadn’t since that made my head explode with pain again.
“I- OUCH- know that. It’s rather obvious. Where is everyone? What’s been going on?”
“Well IBCF left a while ago for the Dungeon, and Slythix, ZVX, and TGYPWYA are going to join him soon. Now I really have to go- I need to get the others trained up since we have to attack the Dungeon in 5 days. But I’ve brought you a visitor…” Groundhog whistled out the door. Jenny came running in, dragging Pluto with her. I smiled at her.
“You two have some fun- just don’t overexert yourself,” warned Groundhog. “I’ll come check on you later.” With that Groundhog left. Jenny climbed up on my bed.
“Are you contagious?” she asked innocently. I laughed, wondering where she had learned the word ‘contagious’ from.
“No I’m not- your mommy wouldn’t let you in here if I was. Now what do you want to play?
KITTYMINE ((guys, we DO have weapons!))
We all converged on IBCF, asking various questions. Then I heard a loud cough from behind me. I turned to find a large HPB standing behind us, looking a bit sheepish. I pointed my blaster at him.
“Don’t move!” I said loudly. The others, hearing my shout, turned to point their own weapons at the bunny. The HPB held up his hands, paws out, obviously gesturing that ‘hey, I’m not carrying any big, murderous weapons’.
“Please don’t shoot me,” said he, looking at us in a forlorn sort of way.

They aren’t swirling hypnotically or glowing bright pink. Theyre just small black beady things. Oh, and I have something for you all: Multi-Ability Wrist Gadgets, a blaster holster and strap, a brand-new High-Focus Laser Crystal Energy Blast function that you put on your blaster (with depigmentizer dart attachment), and night vision googles.”

I paused. It seemed as though everyone was just ignoring me, so I sighed and walked off, dropping the small vile into a garbage chute along the way. I looked around the hallway, making sure no one could see me, and went towards the wall on my left. I grimaced, my head hurting more and more as I got near. “The micro-waves are getting stronger.” I muttered. I banged on it a few times and that part of the wall slid to one side. Once it opened completely, I darted into the large room behind it and looked around. There was a small robot in the middle of the room that was shaking uncontrollably. “Off.” I commanded. It stopped and turned off. “The old lab.” I mumbled as I looked around. There was a large yellow suit in one corner of the room, and a few motion censer pies in another. I ignored the throbbing pain that was now coming from my head and kept scanning the room. Something was missing from it. Where was the anti-bunny rough suits that had been there before?

“Yes.” I said to TGYPWYA. “Although this ship sounds interesting, I am making an upgraded blaster or three for us to attack. And besides, pods are more efficient.”
“PODS?!”asked ZVX. “PODS?! Pods are 10 years old! They are outdated!”
“Or we could use ARLNDS(AiR-LaNDS, bikes that fly).” I said calmly.
TGYPWYA just stared. “Come on, Slythix.” he said. “Can you install these ARLNDS?”
“Indeed.”
“Then do so.” he said. And we walked off.

There was a loud jolt, and we were going down.

“Two reasons. One, I never really liked William. Two, my uncle is Tyler, and I liked him instead.”
Suddenly, the elevator started slowing down. I whispered urgently, “Get your blasters out and get to the sides!” Everyone quickly moved to the side of the elevator. There was one final screech as it ground to a halt, and we were in the hangar.

I left the room, trusting that Jenny would keep Padme cheered up until her headache went away. I walked over to the fabbing room, and was pleased to discover that the supplies that everyone had asked for had been made–and collected. Hopefully this would allow the adult group to start the first assault soon. I was planning on staying back and training the kids, so there were certain supplies that I would need for that. I programmed the fabber to make a bunch of bunnyproof suits in a range of smaller sizes, for when we went to join the assault, and some bunny robots, to use as opponents when we were training. Then I headed towards the mess hall to grab some lunch, remembering to send a bot with some food for Padme to the infirmary.

“I dunno.” I said to Padme. “You’re the one who’s sick, you should get to pick the game. And Pluto’s sorry that you don’t feel well.” I made Pluto give her a hug, to make her feel better.

“So what’s the difference?” I asked the bunny.
“ARWINGS fly much better and more smoothly,” the bunny replied. “If you want to get somewhere fast, it’s the ship to do just that.”
Suddenly, a blaring loud alarm sounded through the entire room. The door of the hangar slammed shut behind us, and all the lights besides the glow from about five red sirens went out with a flash. I turned on the light attached t my blaster, turning it accusingly upon the bunny.
“YOU!” I yelled. “Release us now, bunn, or I swear this will be he last thing you ever see!” My patience was wearing thin, having not slept or eaten for days, and I was thoroughly ready to leave.
“I swear, it’s not me!” he cried, shielding his face with his big paws.
Zinc ran to the wall and bgan slamming it with her fist, looking for another exit point. But it seemed we were trapped. Far in the distance, I could hear the clomping of the bunny troops growing nearer. IBCF stepped in between the bunny and I.
“You live here!” he cried. “If anyone knows how to get out, it’s you! NOW TELL US HOW!”
((It might be just me, but I feel like this whole story is based around rescuing the adults from the Dungeon, so it would kind of collapse the plot to leave. can we continue on in here, please?))

((Not necessarily. The adults could escape and not kill Xeer. Or we could continue with a different story line: Xeer is searching for an ultimate weapon that will allow him to control the world, and we have to stop him))
I looked around frantically. There was a large door on one side, and if you blasted the controls, it would open. But large bars barred it down. Suddenly, I began to form an idea. I ran to the nearest Arwing. “Please let there be bombs in this thing…” I pleaded. I jumped in and flicked the monitor on. Yes! I raised the ship and fired a bomb at the bars. When the explosion cleared, the bars were gone. I yelled to everyone, “Get in an Arwing and follow me!” Right at that moment, the bunny troops showed up. I whirled around, shot as many as I could, then turned and headed for the door. My target was the control panel on the side.

JULIANNE:
I raced for an Arwing, jumping in before I realized I had no idea how to fly it. I pushed random buttons, trying to find the one that started the stupid thing. Well… one made the hood thingy come down, one sent out volleys of green things that were, I suppose, some kind of ammunition, and finally I found the starter. The Arwing lifted off, and I suddenly realized that I was on my own. Were the others supposed to get in this thing? I tried frantically to bring it down.

((Julianne – a quick arwing lesson. There is a joystick and several buttons, along with your monitor, which is super-imposed over the cockpit window (the “hood thingy”). Push the joystick forward to go down; pull it back to go up; push it left to go left; and push it right to go right. Press the index-finger button to fire your laser – they will fire in the green squares on your monitor. Hold it down to charge the laser. Press it again to fire a charged laser, and you can use it to lock onto enemies. The thumb-finger button fires the bombs. Press it once to release the bombs, press again to detonate. You only have a limited number of bombs, but you can get more. You can also fire bombs at locked-on enemies, and they will detonate on contact, but they will just go straight after a set time period. The big green button closes your landing gear and ignites the engine; the big red button opens your landing gear and kills the power; the big yellow button switches you to all-range mode (You are in a square area and do not want to go ahead of a certain enemy); press the up-arrow button to boost; press the down-arrow button to brake; pull up while braking to do a u-turn (only in all-range mode); pull up while boosting to do a somersault; and keep in mind that you can not do any tricks (boost, brake, etc.) while your boost meter (the blue meter in the upper-right corner next to the number of bombs) is red. Finally, the multi-colored meter in the upper-left corner is your shield meter – if it runs out, you will explode next time you’re shot.))

((The adults in the Dungeon of Horror (who are currently escaping in Arwings) are: Kokonilly, IBCF, AvalonGirl & Serafina (are they still here?), Zinc, Kittymine, TMFA (if he’s here), Aggie, Aaron, and William II. (sorry if I missed anyone). TGYPWYA, Slythix, and ZVX are on their way to the DOH. I would assume that they would meet the escapees in mid air, and possibly have a dogfight with some bunnies (what fun!).
In the Base, the kids have finished eating and Muselover (being PowerPlayed) is entering, causing a small stir of surprise amoung the kids. Charlie is about to say that Muselover is nicegoodius. Groundhog is having the Fabber (where the heck did she get that name from?!) make more bunny proof suits and is going to do more training with the kids.

As we flew, I slowly looked around, analyzing the surroudings.
“Slythix to ZVX and TGYPWYA.” I said. “We should arrive in 27.2367941052…”
“Be quiet!” said TGYPWYA.
Suddenly, a zorching noise rang out. ZZKKKZZZTTT!!
“Evasive manuvers!” I yelled into the mike, as I executed a quick barrel roll. I began spiraling towards the ground. I noted that ZVX’s ship was trying to free itself from a large net that had mysteriously appeared. I rocketed towards ZVX’s ship, as was TGYPWYA’s. Then, I saw the hpb battle cruisers. I stared in shock. Then, I spoke one word into the mike.
“Ambush.”
Then our ships blew up. As we fell together, screaming, I quickly whipped out three guns, and handed one to ZVX and one to TGYPWYA. Then, I said “Good luck. We’ll need it.”
We hit the ground hard. The last thing I noticed before I blacked out, were bunnies surrounding us. I lashed out, hitting three. Then, I was out like a light.

I jumped inside an Arwing after Kokonilly and strapped myself into the copilot’s seat. Kokonilly didn’t bother running the systems check before starting the craft and flying through the hole we had blasted through the wall. We were free, flying for safety to… well, we really hadn’t thought about it. Just then the radio crackled.
“This is Arwing 1,” said Aggie’s voice. “Could everyone check in so that we can figure out where everyone is? Aaron and I are in this ship.”
“Kokonilly and Kittymine in Arwing 2!” said I
“Julianne in Arwing 3!” responded Julianne.
“AvalonGirl and Serafina in Arwing 4!” came Serafina’s voice.
“Zinc and TMFA in Arwing 5!” replied Zinc.
“IBCF and William II in Arwing 6!” said the bunny.
“Okay… we’re all here. Now where are we going?” asked Aaron over the radio.
“How about the Trench?” suggested Serafina.
“I suppose… and that would be the most logical place that the rest of the Resistance would have gone to,” I chipped in. “Now we just have to figure out where on earth we are…”
‘We’re coming from Mt. Saint Helens,” supplied William II.
“So the Trench is somewhere out in the Pacific, around 20 miles from here.” said Zinc, calculating the distance.
So we kept flying.
Unfortunately, some bunny ships were pursuing us, causing quite a bit of discomfort due to a arial acrobatics. But strangely, most of the bunny ships flew straight over us, heading for the area ahead of us.
“That’s odd…” mused William II. “Why aren’t they just fighting us?”
I opened the glove compartment in my plane, pulling out a pair of binoculars. I focused the lenses into the distance, trying to see what the bunnies were flying at. I noticed a few black specks in the distance that were flying in our direction, coming from the direction of the…”
“…Trench,” I whispered with dawning realization.
“What?” asked Kokonilly from my left.
“Up ahead there are some crafts coming from the direction of the Trench. And the bunnies that were pursuing us shot ahead when they noticed them. This can only mean that-”
“Some of the others were coming to rescue us and are about to fly straight into an ambush!” finished Kokonilly. She grabbed the radio.
“Guys! There are other Resistance members up ahead who were coming to rescue us and are about to be ambushed by bunnies! We have to help them!”

More than that and the plot gets horribly messed up.

I heard Kittymine on the radio and knew we had to act fast. But as I pulled our ship in the direction of the bunnies, another voice crackled, “Can’t let you do that, William!”
“Oh crud.” I turned and saw 4 more ships coming out of the distance. They looked like arwings, but they were shaped different, and they were red and grey. And there were 4…. “Star Wolf.”

((141- see post 132 for a summary.))
((138- they won’t get captured if I can help it- unless they get captured and the rest of us escape? That would probably be better since that way there are more adults in the Base (Groundhog, Zorgon, and Liss + the escapees). And then we only have to rescue three people.))
We flew as fast as we could toward our resistance friends. But then a new voice came over the radio.
“Can’t let you do that, William.” and then “Oh crud.” said William II.
“What?” I radioed.
“Look behind you.” came the response.
I looked- red and gray crafts were heading toward us, shooting lasers.
“They’re Star Wolves!” announced William II. “We’re gonna have to run for it!”
“What! We can’t abandon the others!” yelled Zinc.
“We have no choice!” responded William II. “I we try to help we’ll all get captured, along with your friends. If you head for this Trench place, you’ll have a much better chance!”
“Fine- let’s do it,” said Serafina in a resigned voice.
So we flew like heck, dodging and shooting for all it was worth. Soon we passed over three crafts that had been shot down. They were obviously from the Base.
“Sorry guys… we’ll be back for you,” I whispered as we flew.

I ran with the others to the hangar after glancing behind us.

“Oh, cake. We have to save them!” I said.
“NO, we can’t! You heard William II!” A chorus of voices erupted from the radio.
“But…” I gazed at the fallen ships and tears sprung to my eyes.

Kitty, can you possibly ask groundhog to come and post something? The kids have kind of been abandoned…..
Aah, whatever. I can’t hide behind writer’s block forever. Still ask her to come and write something, but for now…..))
Groundhog pushed open the doors of the mess hall, and immediately was surrounded by kids asking her about all kinds of things.
“Is Padme okay?”
“What happened to Tarnug?”
“Where are ZVX and TGYPWYA? Where’s IBCF, actually?”
“This is Pluvia. She’s here to help, apparently–”
“Okay, okay, calm down,” groundhog said, laughing. “One thing at a time. Padme’s fine, she’s recovering right now. Tarnug is in a vial in the trash compactor, though by now he might be part of one of these bunnyproof suits. That’s how the Fabber works, recycling matter from the trash. ZVX and TGYPWYA left with Slythix a couple minutes ago to hopefully find the Dungeon of Horror and rescue your parents. As for IBCF, I have no idea, but I have a feeling he’s okay. Nice to meet you, Pluvia.”
“So,” she continued, “let’s get back to training. I have a bunch of bunnyproof suits here, they should fit all of you pretty well, and I’ve Fabbed up a few bunnies to fight–”
“What??? You Fabbed up real bunnies? They could be attacking the base right now, getting into all the Resistance records–” Kaye had produced a dagger from somewhere unknown and looked ready to kill all possible bunnies and possibly groundhog too.
“Calm down, Kaye. Not real bunnies, robots. They’re realistic, and they fight like bunnies, but they won’t do anything except fight. Good enthusiasm, though. You’ll need that when we’re fighting real bunnies. Now, can I have a look at that dagger? It’s an interesting design…..”
……..
Fifteen minutes later, the kids were suited up and equipped with weapons, and rather annoyed that after all this, groundhog didn’t seem to be in any hurry to get training. On the contrary, she was talking with someone on the radio.
“Kitty? You’re okay? Where are you? Have you escaped, or did you just find a radio somewhere? Is everyone else with you?”
The kids looked at each other. The parents had escaped? What? What were they doing?
“Oh, good, IBCF’s with you too?…. Okay, great. You know the base’s location, get here as soon as you can– Kitty? Are you okay? Oh, okay. But you got away from them? Good. I knew those turbo engines would come in handy someday…. Oh, yeah. They’re not our pods. Right. Sorry.
Wait, what? What– Oh, no….. Are you sure? All three of them? Oh, no…. And you think they were captured by the bunnies?…. True. I just hope they’re still alive. Because we are going to rescue them, no matter what happens. And if they’re dead, we’re going to make the bunnies really sorry.”

I paused. There was a loud beeping sound in the corner of the room. “Pod 52 down. Pot 26 down. Pod 79 down.” The robot in the corner of the room kept repeating itself.
“Where?”
The robot gave me a series of numbers, which I was guessing were the coordinates. I got up and ran back to my room. There, I gathered my weapons and put many other things in my pack. Fastening the clasp on my cloak, I went to the hanger and picked a sleek dark blue pod. I quickly got in and soon was out in the open sea.
After a while, I could see a low cloud of smoke. I scanned the coast quickly and saw a few bunny ships were there. I brought the pod to a stop and landed it in the cover of some boulders.

I looked frantically behind us. They were gaining fast. IBCF yelled, “Can’t you do something about them??”
“I don’t have any bombs that I can shoot backw-” I stopped. There was one thing. It was crazy. But then again, I was crazy. I dug down into the pocket beside my foot and pulled out a portable bomb. Starting the timer, I said, “Open the hood when I say so.” The timer counted down, and as I flew, I kept my eyes on it. Closer… closer… closer… “NOW!” The window flew open and I chucked the bomb behind me. If I was right, then it would-
Suddenly, we were rocked by a huge explosion from behind. We stopped and looked back. 3 ships were flying away from the red cloud, heading back to the DOH. I flicked on the radio and said, “William here. We took down 1, and the other 3 are retreating.”

I was in the heat of battle when all of the sudden all the bunnies disappeared in an explosion. I swung around and saw something standing there. I shot at it but somehow it stoped my shot. I was about to take its head off with my lightsaber when it said something in a voice that seemed familiar, then it hit me. “Oh, man, I am so sorry. I didn’t realize it was you,” I blurted. “Really, I just thought you felt like taking my head off,” Liss retorted, “So what were you doing you seemed pretty engrossed there.” “Well, I have this problem that whenever I’m fighting I have this horrible rage swell up inside me and I just can’t stop fighting no matter what, I call it battle rage. I hope you don’t feel badly about me after this,” I exlplained. I then had the most horrible feeling that maybe I would lose something I had just found.

I heard William II’s voice come in loud over my radio speaker.
“William here. We took down one, and the other 3 are retreating.” I looked behind me, to where Aaron had begun firing repeated blaster shots at the fleeing ships from his personal blast port.
“Woo-hoo!” he yelled, as one exploded with a loud and pointedly placed boom.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that you were actually enjoying this!” I cried, grinning widely. And for the first time in months, I found myself laughing.
“No time to mess around, guys, we’ve got to get back to those other pods.” Kittymine’s voice sounded worried and serious.
“We can’t!” cried William II. “There’s no telling when they’re going to send reinforcements after-”
BANG!!! There was an enormous blast from behind us, and suddenly, I felt a shudder in the back of the arwing.
“What’s happening?” Aaron cried. I could hear him struggling to accelerate, but it was no use.
“They’ve hit the engine!” I screamed, looking out the window. There was a fleet of star destroyers coming from behind, and I saw our back wings and engine plummeting downwards to the ground. I deperately jammed my steering mechanism forward, trying to accelerate. It was no use. We dropped like a fly.
“AARON!” I screamed, hands flying across the dash and stomach dropping like a stone as I frantically tried to engage the support engine. We were nearing the ground, spinning out of control.
“HELP, HELP! MAYDAY!” Aaron was yelling into his radio.
“Where are-” Kokonilly began, but then all sytems shut off. The lights went out, the wings disappeared, and I found myself clinging to my seat as we slammed into the earth with a shuddering crash.
Suddenly, the top of the ship flipped open with a soft whoosh. I looked around us. There was a ten-foot trench behind us where we had skidded and come to rest. I couldn’t see if anyone had fallen behind us. I hoped that the other were all right, but with that many destroyers on our tail I couldn’t be sure. Aaron was already up and out of the broken hunk of ship. He seemed all right. The pdding of the secure arwing had been enough to cushion our fall. He offered a trembling hand and helped me out. Then, we heard the sound of repeated blaste shots from a clearing nearby.
“Come on,” I whispered, and we walked quietly toward the blaster shots. I looked trough he trees and gasped.
ZVX, TGYPWYA, and an unidentified person I didn’t know were blindly swinging their blasters at some very stiff-looking bunnies. The stranger fell to the ground in a faint, but ZVX and TGYPWYA kept battling.
“What do we do?” I hissed.
“Wait until they’re off guard, and thenwe ambush,” replied Aaron.
“With WHAT?” I said.
Aaron nodded to a thick pair of tree branches on the ground next to us. I nodded back. “Good enough.”
((If anyone protests to this post, I’ll gladly slash it. Just wanted to write for a bit.))

I looked around cautiously. Near the bunny ships were a few bunnies who had just put TGYPWYA, ZVX, and the unconscious Slythix in electric cuffs. I quickly counted how many bunnies were there in all and charged my blaster. “Ambush.” I said under my breath. First I killed the bunnies farther from the sight of the bunnies holding Slythix, TGYPWYA, and ZVX so they wouldn’t notice. With each shot, the bunnies began to realize what was happening. By the time they fully realized where the shots were coming from, there were only four left. I quickly drew my lightsaber killed the one holding TGYPWYA and another. Two bunnies had slowly inched away with Slythix and ZVX.

The Star Wolf fleet was still chasing us. That is, until a large explosion went off, destroying one of them. The rest began to fly back to the DOH. Then things went horribly wrong.
The fleet hadn’t been going back at all- it was merely a ruse to disguise the fact that more crafts were approaching. On of the bunny planes shot Aggie and Aaron’s Arwing, destroying the engine.
“HELP! HELP! MAYDAY!” yelled Aaron’s voice through the radio. Kokonilly grabbed the radio.
“Where are you guys?” she asked, but the only response we got was static. A loud THUNK from the ground told us that their Arwing had crashed. I looked out the window- they appeared to be climbing out of the wreck, unhurt. I also noticed another ship on the ground that was definitely not a bunny ship. Help from the base? Kokonilly was about to fly down to help Aggie and Aaron when the Star Wolf fleet attacked our ship, causing us to accelerate and do some arial acrobatics. Again. So we had no choice but to leave our friends behind.
“This is getting ridiculous,” I muttered.

((138- me and TGYPWYA getting captured would mean utter chaos for the bunnies.))
I shot two bunnies with a burst of blaster fire and extended my lightsaber. The bunnies backed up slightly.
“Hands up, humans.” commanded the leader.
TGYPWYA tossed a hand grenade into the pack, and both lightsabers exploded in movement. Sparks flew everywhere, as we parried the shots aimed at us. It seemed that two of the bunnies had machine gun blasters. The rapid fire blazed at us.

I saw the battle on the ground and asked Julianne to take me low so I could jump out and help with the fight. She obliged and I jumped out of the arwing. I rolled on the ground to stop, then jumped up, got out my lightsaber and joined the battle. The bunnies already had enough on their hands with TGYPWYA and ☮iŹ√Ҳ!☮ ((Sorry, I don’t know your character name yet )) so it was easy for me to go up and attack the bunnies up close. I took one down with a quick blow, and I raised my lightsaber for another, but then a bunny jumped at me, so I rolled out of the way to avoid being getting hit. Suddenly, a bunny started firing at me, so I deflected with my lightsaber right back at him, missing the bunny but destroying his machine gun blaster.

Kittymine’s voice crackled, “Kittymine here. What’s your plan?”

As Aaron and I leapt out and onto a pair of bunnies, one of the bunnies ignited the thick leaves and branches of an oak tree with the flaming bullets of his machine gun. The tree was completely engulfed in flame, and the forest bgan to burn.
Throug the snoke and ust, I could faintly make out a new person, swinging at bunnies wildly with his lightsaber. I could also see a bunny cruiser, doors open. It might be our way out…
Suddenly, a fleet of helibunnies came swooping from the sky. They rained down into the clearing, shooting their blasters everywhere they could see movement. Most of the others bunnies were already lifeless, or fleeing. I had to dive to the forest floor to narrowly avoid being hit by a deadly blast from one helibunny’s gun. Instead of death, I found myself face to face with avery familiar person.
“Aggie?” asked ZVX incredulously. “How the wung buttons…?”
“Nice to see you,too,” I returned,grinning, and scrambled to my feet to dropkick a helibunny I had caught by the ears into a flaming tree trunk.
“Aren’t you supposed to be up in that fleet?” ZVX asked, swiping at a helibunny from the air. The bunny’s blaster fell to the ground, and I picked it up quickly. I much preferred it to a tree limb.
“We were tricked and ambushed, and Aaron and I got shot down,” I replied, quickly finisheing off two bunnies in one shot. They went fleeing into the forest, clutching their ears and howling.
The clearing was devoid of bunnies now. It was only the five of us, and smoke was quickly filling all of our lungs. TGYPWYA, Aaron, and the newcomer came rushing over.
“Aggie!” cried TGYPWYA, shaking my hand vigorously. “Nice to see you again, Lieutenant.”
“Thanks,” I replied, and then coughed.
“Quick, we don’t have very much time. We’d better get onto that ship,” said ZVX anxiously, and we all followed him onto the ship, including the newcomer, who introduced himself as Aramil. the flames filled the grass we had stepped on moments after we left, nd I shut the shuttle doors quickly so as not to let any smoke enter.
“I’ll fly. TGYPWYA, you can have shot gun. Aggie, Aaron, to the gun ports.” ZVX walked over to the cockpit, with TGYPWYA at his heels.
“I can man the sensors,” offered Aramil.
“Thanks, that’d be great,” I replied.
“Welcome to the apocalypse,” said Aaron grimly, and we strapped ouselves into the gun ports. “Ports armed,” I yelled, and ZVX yelled back. “Here we go. Be ready for anything.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I will be.”

Great. We’re being surrounded by bunny ships while a large firefight (pun intended) was going on below. William’s voice shouted over the radio.
“The fleet’s trying to encircle us. If they succeed, we’ll be totally cut off and complete sitting ducks. We need to make as many gaps in the circle while it’s still forming.â€
“Yes sir!” replied Kokonilly before coming to a standstill.
“Nilly, what on earth are you doing?” I asked incredulously. “We should be flying away, not standing still!”
“Patience. I have an idea.”
So we waited as the ships converged around us. Soon only a few gaps were left.
“What are you doing?” yelled William. “You’re going to kill yourselves!”
“No we’re not!” replied Kokonilly. She lifted her foot off the brake and shoved the throttle wide. We zoomed forward straight at one of the gaps. The bunny ships on either side had no time to comprehend what was going on. We were through, leaving some very confused bunnies behind us.
“Ah- you used the Unexpected Tactic,” I noted as we flew away.
“Yes- shoot forward when they least expect it.” said Nilly, nodding.

I examined the control board as ZVX got the shuttle airborne. Some readouts weren’t good. “ZVX, the starboard engine’s only operating at 73%. And it’s not reporting damage.”
“I can’t figure out how to get the sensors working,” commented Aramil angrily.
I looked down. “That’s because they’re not on-line. Odd.” Then I spotted another red light. And the word below it chilled my blood. I turned to ZVX.
“Shields are down. One hit and we’re goners.”

I grinned as I executed my “Killer Gs” move. We shot down into a huge dive, then pulled up and shot a bomb from below. The resulting explosion gave us the gap we needed to escape the circle.

I almost screamed as someone I didn’t know popped up in the back of my Arwing.
“I’m Koko’s Apprentice,” he said. “Can you bring me down so I can help with the battle?”
I obliged, and watched nervously. They needed more help. Could I manage with a blaster? I was only just learning to use it…
Never mind that. I grabbed a lightsaber (I had no idea how to use that one) and a blaster and jumped out.

I turned away from the radio. “Okay, sorry about that.” I said to the assembled kids. “We’re going to go to the Maze for this, because that’s what most resembles a bunny building. The bunny robots will be in various places in the maze. If one notices one of you, then all of them will start actively searching for you, but if you kill one before it notices you, nothing will happen. The real bunnies don’t try to kill you, they try to take you and bunnify you. I’ve programmed your helmet visors to turn hot pink if a bunny robot gets close enough to grab you, since if that happened for real, you’d be gone. The suits can protect you from bunny attacks, but they’re no good if you get yourself captured and they take the suit off of you. Does anyone have any questions?”

As the Arwing lifted of the ground, my sensors were going crazy! Bunn alert left, right, forward, back, adn everywhere in between! I shouted to TGYPWYA, “Open fire! We are practically surrounded already! try to open up a hole!” He obliged, and bunny ships began dropping. But it wasn’t fast enough! I radioed down to the training arena, saying “kids, this is your first exercise! HELP!”

Suddenly, there were bunny cruiser everywhere. Aaron and I began furiously pulling back for shots. I blasted three out of the way, but the minute a penetration appeared in their forces, it was immediately rectified with five more ships,all armed with triple stun rays and ion blasters.
“ZVX, THEY’RE ALL OVER US!” I cried. “We have to get out of here!”
“Secure yourselves,” he yelled back, “I’m doing a nose dive.”
“Oh, and how I’d hoped I would never have to do this again,” I whispered to myself, and clung for dear life to the side of the blast port as the ship took a sudden turn downward.

“Cake.” I said. “This is bad. It’s time to…let’s see–what the–!” a fleet of ships were flying toward us.
“X-ray them.” I growled.
“Robots. A hundred.” replied Aramil.
“Groundhog did it!” Exclaimed TGYPWYA. “And she sent them in the latest ships. Look, the bunnies are getting crushed.”
The bunnies were indeed getting crushed. Their ships exploded and smoking, but nevertheless pink, bunnies fell through the bottom of their ships. The robots–or rather, Groundhog–had anticipated this and the robots shot them with low level stunning bursts.
Firing a missile, I shot straight through the doors of the Dungeon of Horror. A blast of fire closed it behind the shuttle, and I saw a thousand brilliant flashes that were mirrored throughout the massive hall.
BOOM.
Our shuttle exploded with the force of a grenade. I was hurled through the air to land in the middle of a bunny army that had just shot us out of the air. A blaster was forced under my chin and a bunny face appeared over me. It was black. It was Xeer.
“We meet again,” he said. “Your courage is admirable, of course, and I regret I shall have to kill you.”

SILVIA: I came out of nowhere with the assault pod, smashing straight into Xeer and koncking him straight over. I landed the pod right on top of him. “Bit of debris on the landing pad, huh?” I chuckled.
PLUVIA: “I’m familiar with bunny tactics so I’ll see what I can do to help the other adults. Be back soon.”

I looked around. A new bunny army had appeared on the ground. And right in the middle of it – Xeer. My blood began to boil. I had to fight my brother now. I switched on my radio and said, “William here. I’m going down for Xeer.” I turned to IBCF and said, “If I were you, I’d eject now.”
She nodded, hit the “open cockpit” button, and hit her eject button. I flew directly at Xeer, getting my lightsaber ready. 10 feet away, I ejected, flicked the blade on, and attacked.

I staggered to my feet. We were surrounded by bunnies. Again. I looked at the others. Aramil seemed panicked “Great flying, ZVX. You do know that there was no way we could have… ZVX?” I turned around. “ZVX? Oh, there you are.” I realized who stood above him. “Hello Xeer.” I said, then decided to get him mad. “We meet again, for the first time. And the last time. Unless we meet again for a second time, when what I just said will become null and void, but isn’t likely since we probably…”
He looked up and yelled “SHUT UP HUMAN!!”
That momentary distraction was all ZVX needed.
((…and ZVX, you get to chose your action. It’s only fair that way.))

I awoke outside. In the woods. I scrambled to my feet, and looked around. There were a few crashed pods, Xeer, ZVX and co… wait a minute, XEER?! I leaped up and smiled to myself. I took a syringe from my pocket, and injected it in myself. The last time I tried this, I thought, I had killed hundreds of bunnies, and one black. Rage juice. I felt myself roar. I was big and strong. I could kill these bunnies. With bloodfire racing through my veins, I charged the insignificant bunnies, blades drawn. Then, I felt myself jerked out of my body. I was looking down on myself, slaughtering bunnies by the dozen. Most ran. I allowed myself some pleasure from watching Xeer, TGYPWYA and ZVX gape at me. Then, I felt a jolt and saw that Xeer and his men had taken the oppertunity to strike. They knocked out us all. I began to follow my body into the Dungeon of Horror. Then, I felt a chill. I examined the weaponry that I had, as Xeer tied us up in steel chains.
“Sleep well. Hehehe.”

Now the people who were just captured by Xeer:
Slythix, ZVX, TGYPWYA, Aggie, Aaron, and Aramil. I think William is with them too since he said he was going to fight his brother. Pulvia and Silvia appear to be there, but I’m not sure if they were captured or not.

Zinc, Julianne, AvalonGirl, Serafina, Kokonilly, Kittymine, & IBCF.

LISS:
“Hm.” I said in response to Zorgon’s explanation. “That’s unusual. Were you close to anyone who was affected by it?” I wanted to see the answer; this was one of the more common ways people contracted it.
ROBERTA: ((Sorry, Groundhog. ))
I shook my head, and clambered into the bulky suit, shoving the helmet onto my head. I looked toward the iron door, a feeling of uncertainty coiling in the pit of my stomachs. What was behind that? Any tricks, illusions, holograms?
ZINC:
I fought like wild, trying to protect my own skin. Then I felt something come in contact with my skull. My last discernabile thought beofre I sunk into the blackness was, “Dammit, I won’t remember anything when I wake up!”
((Do excuse the swearing. Zinc gets very annoyed when she realizes she’s gonna lose her memory for a bit. I know I’d use a worse word than that. ))

I looked around. We had all been chained to the wall. Everyone else was asleep, but I had too much on my mind. Unfortunately, I was about to get a bit more. There was a flash of light, and when it faded, I felt different.
At that second, a bunny walked by. I instantly recognized her from my childhood. “Michelle,” I whispered. “…Michelle!” She stopped and looked in the room we were in. When she saw me, her eyes widened, and she walked in and said, “Will? Is it really you?” I replied, “Of course! Why, what’s wrong?”
She said in a horrified voice, “Will… you look like a human!”
Ah. That’s why I felt different. I whispered, “Well, that doesn’t matter now. Can you get me out of this?”
“Why should I? You’re just a traitor.”
“I did it for both of us!”
“What do you mean?”
“If Xeer wins, we will both be put to death, and he’s going to do that because bunnies aren’t supposed to have feelings like we do!”

((183 – All Hail the Summary Writer!

I pulled on my own bunnyproof suit, making sure that my helmet was on securely. Then I opened up a large box of weapons. “You can take whatever you want from here for this exercise.” I said over my helmet radio. “Bunnies have very tough hides, so keep that in mind when you’re choosing.” I waited until everyone had picked something out of the box, then opened up the large iron door to the Maze. “Here’s the objective:” I said over the radio. “There are some fake hostages–dummies–somewhere in the maze. We need to find them and get them out of the maze. This door is not the only exit, there are several others, so you won’t necessarily have to get back here to get them out. There’s a sort of radar in the helmets that’ll beep when you’re getting close to a person that you’ve specified before–just say ‘Find whoever’ to activate it and ‘Done’ to make that annoying beeping stop.” I pressed a button by the door. “Here we go.” I said, turning on my lightsaber and walking down the corridor.

She hesitated, then dug in her pocket. For a second, there was silence as she searched. Then she groaned quietly and whispered, “I don’t have my keys.”
I groaned as well, but then I felt a strange lump in my throat. I didn’t know what it was, but my first reaction was to get it out. I regurgitated my breath, trying to move it up my throat. Finally, it was near the top, and with one last flick, I clenched it in my mouth.
My next question was this: How the **** did my lightsaber get down my throat??

“Xeer.” I snarled, the steel bindings cutting into my skin. “Can you use the Force?”
He was taken aback. Slightly.
I blew the chains of of everyone and tossed myself twenty feet over Xeer. My lightsaber extended.
“Need to die?” asked a nasal voice behind me. “We’ve got ya covered.”
The bunny behind me barely noticed as I slid my lightsaber through his chest, until it was too late. Slythix hurled grenades from both hands, blasting a path in the army. Xeer drew his own lightsaber, the blade was red like blood.

I mentally paced around for a while and finally got an idea. I called out to Xeer “Come fight me you coward! Why do you have to have an advantage? Afraid you’d lose?” Suddenly Xeer came running down the passage way and said ” Who said that?” “ME, you coward!!” I replied. He got really mad. He suddenly lunged himself at me, guns blazing. I suddenly turned to one side and the his attack blew right through my chains. I leaped up into the air and grabbed his blaster before he had a chance to move. I pointed it at him and forced him to reveal the location of our weapons. He did, then I freed everyone else, and went to reclaim our weapons, throwing him off into a corner.

Xeer charged, and sparks flew from the collision of my blade against his. He pulled a blaster from his belt and shot.
It hit me square in the chest.
I crumpled. Life was ebbing out of me…
Xeer turned on TGYPWYA. The bunny leader wasn’t so lucky this time. The shot split into a thousand shards on TGYPWYA’s shield, then dissipated. But something else had happened: Xeer’s lightsaber was retracting, dying. It flickered out, and Xeer ran into the ranks of his army.
TGYPWYA crouched by me.
“How bad is it?”
“Bad…I haven’t got much more time if I’m not antilasered. He hit me in the heart…”
The bunnies around us simultaneously flicked up the setting on their blasters.

The next thing I knew, I was awake, crumpled against the wall of a dungeon, with Aaron at my side. My eyelids flickered. They felt like lead on my blue eyes. I turned over, groaning because of the soreness of my side. It felt like I had hit the ground quite hard.
I came face to face with a dead bunny, his glassy rd eyes staring into mine with strangey alive malice. I screamed, and at that moment, the bluriness that clouded my eyes faded away and I was in the middle of a fierce and raging battle. Kokonilly and Zinc were there, yelling insults at the advancing crowd of bunnies. William II was talkingwith someone unfamiliar to me, and ZVX was crumpled on the floor, TGYPWYA at his side…dying? I froze in disbelief, and I rolled to my knees. I saw Xeer retreating thrugh the bunny army, and with a yell of rage, I lifted my lightsaber and dashed through the crowd of bunnies. They began firing their blasters rapidly, and I saw them hit me, but I felt no pain. I was a ghost, a shadow, piercing the crowd without leaving a trace. I was immortal.
I reached Xeer and slammed all of my weight into his thick skull. He fell with a thud to the ground, turning over as quick as a cobra.
“Stupid biped,” he hissed. “You forget the force of my POWER!”
The army of bunnies rained down. Helibunnies, ninja bunnies, robot bunnies…they all swarmed shooting, hitting, slicing…I did not care. I focused my energy on thrashing all of my angry strength against Xeer. We rose to our feet, battling fiercely. Sweat rolled down my temples as I threw my weight into swiping my lightsaber against his own, bright blue on blood red like a clash of senses. I would not fail, and I would not be felled.

ZINC:
I didn’t remember anything when my eyelids fluttered open. I was in a strange place, with other people held against the wall like I was. Bunnies of the most odd shade were attacking some other humans on the ground. I realized this was an unfair fight. “Hey! You stupid rabbits! I don’t know who you’re attacking but it seems rather unfair!” I struggled, and found I could slip downward and out of my bonds. I found a gun of some sorts in my hood. Now why would that be there? I shrugged, and pull the trigger. One of the bunnies, and one behind it, were shot clean through. “Cool,” I murmured, turning it over in my hands. It was a sleek black one, somewhat simple, but not too simple to be useless. I shoot a few more, and then they noticed me. “Hey! What do you think you’re doing?” One of them yelled at me, its breath vile. In a pert response, I stuck out my tongue and crossed my eyes. This seemed to anger it, and it took a swing at me. I ducked, and taunted in a mocking tone, “Ya missed me, ya great fat meanie!”

((OK, I’m going to fight Xeer. Can I PLEASE not be interrupted by a spontaneous plot twist this time?))
I didn’t have time to ponder why my lightsaber had gotten stuck in my throat. I flicked it back to my hand and cut through the chain in one swift slice. Xeer noticed this and charged at me. I responded with a charge of my own. We locked blades and struggled to gain the upper-hand. As we fought, Xeer taunted, “So you think you can beat me? I will crush you as a tribute to our father!”
“You wish!” I said, and batted at his saber. I knew this fight would last a long time, but I was ready.

I sighed, and watched the screaming bunnies get slaughtered. I knew I coudn’t go back in my body now, I’d get killed. Then, I saw ZVX. He was collapsed on the ground near TGYPWYA. Both were surrounded, and ZVX was dying. Dying. I felt a pounding in my ears. “Don’t get mad.” I said to myself. “Don’t get mad…dang.” I materilized near my own body, which was odd. Now, there were two rampaging Slythixs. We went straight towards ZVX. We roared. TGYPWYA looked shocked, as the bunnies turned around, hearing us. That would be the last thing they ever did. We hit them hard. I screeched to a halt in front of ZVX. My Rageside(that’s what I’ll call him) covered TGYPWYA. “Stay behind us!” I yelled, as the bunnies began firing. They hit my Rageside, which vanished. “What did you do?!” said ZVX. I didn’t answer. I was roaring. The bunnies stopped, turned, and ran. But more came. “Ragefire.” I said. “Rage and War in a syringe. Want some? We’re in for a fight.”

“Hmm,” Liss said “Were you close to anyone who contracted it?” I replied, stunned she didn’t think I was a total weirdo, “Yes, actually I think that the old coworker of my parents(I choked on that a little) had it.” “That may be how you got it then, or it’s very possible.” I was about to reply when something came over the speakers about a battle and help. I ran past Liss yelling something about saving some lives and to come on.

SILVIA / PLUVIA: We pulled our spare blasters out of our boots (it doesnt hurt to take precautions!) and busted the locks on our chains. charging the plasma to full power, we unleashed it straight at Xeer. A huge beam of power streaked past Aggie and vaporized him. Or did it? The bunny army seemed to think so. Suddenly they turned into total chaos. Charging left and right, blaster bolts flying, it was a bunny free-for-all. Luckily, we had a shield generator on hand and quickly got ZVX, TGYPWYA, IBCF, and the other adults under it. All except Aggie. Pluvia launched a final gravity bomb to clear things up, and the mayhem finally ended. But Aggie was was still out there, fighting with a floating red lightsaber. Suddenly it hit us: Xeer used an invisibility projector. There was nothing we could do to Aggie, we might accidentaly hurt her. All we could do was wait.

“Wait, what about the others?” asked Slythix.
I paused. What about the others? If we don’t get ZVX out, he’ll die, but if we do, the others probably will. This was a problem.

I gasped as a beam of plasma power streaked past my left ear, and suddenly, Xeer was gone. Disappeared. Vaporized. I scratched my head. All of the other bunnies lay dead, stunned and bleeding on the ground. I turned around, and all of the other adults were under a shield. Then, suddenly…
A red blade flew past me. I had just enough time to bend back, and the blade missed the tip of my nose by literal half-millimeters. I could feel the red-hot heat sizzling in the air. I raised my own weapon, making equally as fierce swing. The invisible Xeer was making furiously fast swings at my abdomen, and I matched them as best I could. It was becoming increasingly harder to fight someone I couldn’t see, and yet nobody seemed to be coming to my aid. It was just us two, fighting in the cleared and dimly lit area. I lifted my saber, and, summoning what little force I could muster, drew my sword away in a split-second and struck it downward. There was a loud scream that pierced my ears, wailing like nails on an invisible chalkboard. I screamed too, covering my ears and forced down onto one knee. Then, there was a loud bang and the lightsaber clattered to the ground. Xeer was gone, at least, for now.
I got quickly to my feet, ears ringing. Pluvia rushed over to me, followed by Silvia and Kokonilly.
“What the wung buttons…” said Nilly, looking over the battlefield.
“That was the oddest bit of lagomorphic invisibilty I’ve ever seen!” I said, shaking my head.
“D’you think he’s dead?” asked Silvia, picking up the still glowing and pulsing red lightsaber and examining it.
“No,” I said. “He’ll be back. Chances are, I’ve only injured him. I think there’d be more than that if he were gone for good.” Then, TGYPWYA yelled over to us.
“Guys, we have to go, ZVX’s condition is getting dire. If we don’t get him back to Groundhog now…” His voice trailed off, and I could assume what he was going to say.
“Come on,” I said. “We’d better find a way out of here.”

((Oh. My. God. What have I missed in two days???? ZVX is dying???? ZVX, if you die, I will kill you. Oh, wait, that’s rather oxymoronic…. Really, though, I will. Leafy is one thing, but you can’t die now. You’re too important. Though, you know, (watch out, observation coming up) it’s really interesting, seeing how fast the plot develops….
Groundhog, may I suggest that it might work better with the plot for the people in the base to be listening to the radio to find out what’s going on or something, rather than be starting yet another training exercise? I mean, you’ve just received a call from your sister (as well as all of your other old friends), who was kidnapped and you had no idea whether she was alive or not until a few minutes ago, and now she’s being chased by a bunch of bunnies. Wouldn’t you be at least a little interested in finding out whether they were going to get away alive or now? And since I assume that you have radio contact with the parents now, and you’ve heard now that ZVX is hurt and close to dying, maybe you’d be getting the medical facilities ready now? I don’t want to powerplay, so I can’t put this in yet, but tell me if you think that’s okay.))

“Okay, let’s not panic. We’ve gotta find a ship that can get us out of here. Zinc, Aggie, help ZVX. Slythix, you lead the way. Everyone else just follow him. I’ll bring up the rear.” I picked up ZVX’s lightsaber and ignited my own. With a glowing bar of energy in each hand, I said, “Load your weapons. There’s no doubt we’ll face some opposition, and there’ll be no time to reload.”
“What about ‘sabers?” asked Aggie.
“If you’ve got one, use it. Let’s move.”
“This way, everyone,” called Slythix, and we sprinted off.

Michelle and I were running with everyone else, when suddenly a loud voice echoed over the speakers, “All bunnies, report to the entrance. We must defeat the humans in the base. Once that objective is completed, report to rendezvous 42. We must be there by the end of June.”
As we ran, I muttered to myself, “42… June… life, the universe, and everyth-” I stopped dead cold. Everyone else stopped, and I said solemnly, “He’s trying to get to the center of the earth.”

Zinc and I combined our strength to lift ZVX off the ground. There was no blood, but you could clearly see the heavy bruising, burning and scorch marks that the targeted lazer had left. It was obvious that there was not much time left. We exited the party in the middle of the group, but I kept my lightsaber drawn just in case. ZVX was stirring faintly, but was not talking. He grew paler and paler as he was moved, but aside from a few groans here and there he did not complain.
Suddednly, halfway to the entrance of the dungeon, a sickeningly familiar voice boomed out over the loudspeakers.
“All bunnies, report to the entrance. We must defeat the humans in the base. Once that objective is completed, report to rendezvous 42. We must be there by the end of June.â€
“See, what did I tell ya?” I siad. “Not dead, never is…Oh, when I get my hands on that lagomorphic fuzzball…”
Suddenly, the entire party stopped. William II was standing stock-still in the middle of the floor.
“What is it?” asked TGYPWYA hurriedly.
“He’s trying to get to the center of the earth.â€
I gasped. “But…that makes no sene at all! If he’s trying to take over the world…” Then I realised. “He can inject the mad human disease into the earth, into the soil. All drinking water will be infected, and every person on earth will go insane!”
“We have to do something!” cried Kokonilly.
“The only thing we have to rght now is get the wung out of here,” said TGYPWYA. We all began sprinting towards the entrance, Zinc and I lagging somewhat behind.

“We’re almost there.”
We were underwater, a few hundred yard from the Trench. It was imperative that we reach it, since we needed to help the others who we had left behind. The doors loomed closer. Zinc radioed in.
“Groundhog! Can you hear us?”
“Loud and clear, Zinc.”
“Open the doors, please.”
The hanger doors slid open. Our Arwing Submersibles (the bunnies added that feature) glided into the hanger, the door clanging shut behind us. The room drained the water with a lound SLOOSH. I took a deep breath, unbuckling my seatbelt and exiting the craft. We all grouped together- Zinc, Julianne, AvalonGirl, Serafina, Kokonilly, me, and IBCF- advancing toward the door. Nilly hit the button next to the doors, sliding them open. Our footsteps echoed on the floor as we walked toward the Maze Room.
The sound of children talking reached my ears. Included in the mix was Groundhog’s worried voice.
“He’s shot?! Get him here this instant! Take Baylee’s ship- she’s there, right? Yeah. Just go! Don’t bother about the center of the earth yet! Sheesh,” she added, putting down the radio.
PADME
Jenny and I were playing cards on my bed when the sound of boots hitting the floor reached our ears. It soundly like a whole bunch of people were walking in a group.
“Let’s go look,” I suggested. Jenny looked at me strangely. Then I realized she was worried about me walking around.
“I’m not going to collapse, silly. I’m okay!” Well, mostly. But I wasn’t going to tell Jenny that.
We slipped out of the room, walking toward the sounds. Soon we came to the Maze Room where all the others were practicing. There was a group of strangely familiar people standing with their backs toward me, talking to Groundhog. Then one of them turned her head. My breath caught in my throat.
“Mom?” I whispered. Her head turned even more. Her brown eyes connected with mine, filling with tears. Tears rolled down my own cheeks. And suddenly we were together, my mother holding me in her warm embrace, half laughing, half crying. I hugged her back, crying happily. The rest of the world was swept away as we embraced.

I turned around as several familiar-looking people entered the maze. I sprinted towards the door and hit the kill switch for the robots. Then I pulled off my helmet and threw my arms around my sister. “Oh my God, Kitty!” I said, tears leaking out of my eyes. “I thought you were…I thought…Oh Kitty…You’re safe…” Still crying, I let go of Kittymine and looked at the group. They were all wearing very odd-looking hot pink jumpsuits…with EARS??? I pulled out my minicomputer and used it to get the bots to bring some better clothes. Then I picked up my helmet and yelled into it: “Kids, your parents are back. They’re with me at the beginning of the maze!” I put down the helmet again and turned to the group of people before me. “I don’t even want to imagine what they were doing to you in there.” I said quietly. “You look like those pictures in the Holocaust Museum.” I was about to suggest that we all go down to the infirmary when a wave of kids in bunnyproof suits nearly knocked me over. Tearful reunions ensued. “Where’s Padme?” Kittymine asked me. “She’s in the infirmary.” I replied. “Tarnug–one of the bunnies that used to run the orphanage that she was in–had invaded her mindshape. We got him out of her head, but she was pretty weak after that.” Kittymine turned around, presumably to run over to the infirmary and say hello to her daughter, but this was rendered unnecessary when Padme walked in, followed by a worried-looking Jenny. Kittymine swept Padme into a hug, crying her eyes out.
JENNY:
I followed Padme into the maze room. There were a bunch of grown-ups in there–way more than the amount that had come with us in the submarine. One of them turned around, and Padme ran towards her, hugging her like crazy. When I got closer, I realized it was Aunt Kitty. When they finished hugging, I walked up to her. “Hi Aunt Kitty…” I said, giving her a small hug. Mom gave me a hug too, but when I turned around to hug her back I saw that she was crying. “Why are you crying Mom?” I asked. “Aren’t you happy that they’re back?” “Yes I am happy,” she said to me. “But I’m sad that your aunt and everyone else had to go through so much these last few days.” I didn’t really get it–what had they all “gone through?”– but I didn’t say that.

ROBERTA:
I was walking around the maze, still not attacked (“survival horror”) when a voice came over the loudspeaker. “Kids, your parents are back. They’re with me at the beginning of the maze!†I went back the way I came (thank Odin for muddy boots) and say my mom. I ran up to her and jumped up and hugged her. She hugged back, and we both cried happy tears.

((215-No, I think that was Juliet. I could be wrong, though. But that reminds me…..))
Kaye ran with the rest of the kids to greet the parents, who looked like they had been through several wars– which they probably had, she thought. But as the rest of the kids were swept up in their parents’ arms, and TGYPWYA and groundhog left to take ZVX to the hospital room, she realized that there was something wrong.
Her mother was nowhere in the group.
“Hey, where’s my mom?” she asked semi-casually, trying not to panic. Juliet was there somewhere. She had to be.
All the adults turned to stare at her. There was a long silence.
“Oh, Kaye, I’m so sorry,” said Cerre. “We didn’t find Juliet. But I’m sure she’s okay–”
Kaye turned and ran out of the room. She ran down the corridor, trying to find a way out of this place, this prison. But there was nothing. She settled for her room instead, locking the door behind her.
Kaye flopped down on her bed and let the tears come. None of them understood anything. They had no idea how hard even her normal life was. And now they were trying to tell her that it would all be all right in the end. Kaye had learned the hard way that real life didn’t work that way. Xeer was probably killing her mother now. If he hadn’t already. Or if not, he would use her as a bargaining tool. Xeer wasn’t stupid. He might even give Juliet the same treatment as he had Alice twelve years ago. Hypnotize her. That would be the worst of all, to be a slave to the bunnies….
Someone knocked on her door. “Kaye?”
“What?”
“Can I come in? It’s okay with me if you don’t want me to, but it’s kind of hard to talk through the door.”
“Okay, fine. I don’t care.” Kaye didn’t care about anything in particular anymore. She got up and unlocked the door.
A tall woman with bright red hair pushed the door open and came in. “Hello, Kaye. My name is Armada. You might not have heard of me– I was away for the first half of the Apocalypse– but I knew your mother better than probably anyone in the Resistance. Granted, it wasn’t all that well, but it was something. And I have to say that Juliet was the bravest person I have ever met. I’m sorry that we didn’t find her in the Dungeon, but I assure you that all of us will do everything in our power to rescue her.”
Kaye sniffed. “Really?” She was starting to feel a little better now. Despite the fact that she was covered in dirt and cuts and was wearing pink footie pajamas with ears– apparently she hadn’t bothered to change yet– Armada had an infectious air of cheer.
“Yes, really. Do you feel better now?”
“I guess….”
“Great. Do you want to stay here, or come stay with the rest of us in the common room? It’s really nice, there are beanbag chairs and everything….”
“Are the beanbag chairs really big and squishy?” Kaye asked. She was feeling a lot better.
“Yup. Come on!”
((Meh…. can’t think of anything else right now. But I did something, anyway. And hey, I introduced my actual character for the first time in BA:TNG!))

We got to the entrance in a large group. I could hear the clomping of bunny troops, closing in on us. The ships were right ahead. Zinc and I ((is Zinc with us?)) walked over to a long ramp on one and began carrying ZVX onto the ship. The other hurried past, strapping into shot ports and seats. Aaron gave me a quick kiss as he sat down behind a reactor gun. I helped ZVX and Zinc into the medicinal port where Zinc helped ZVX revitalize, and hurried to the front of the ship, sitting down co-pilot next to TGYPWYA.
“What’s the plan, Captain?” I asked, checking that the landing gears were in good repair and that all gun ports were open for fire.
“We need to get to the Trench and fast.” TGYPWYA sounded panicky. “You heard that loudspeaker. We’ve got to get out of here before-”
BAM BAM BAM! Succesive shots to our main hull interrupted him as the bunny troops egan firing like mad at the ship.
“Go, go, GO!” I yelled.
“Pull in the ramp!” yelled TGYPWYA. William II pressed the controls as fast as possible with hi swift paws, and there were screeches of anger as the bunnies tried to penetrate the hard steel ship. But their own design would not break even to them.
“Let’s blow this pop stand,” I said, and we took flight with the bunny cruisers hot on our tail.

((209- Oxymoronic indeed. Of course, I might live, or might not. The feeling of power is quite elating, but to preserve my own life, I’ll live. ( )
Here’s the deal for the adults, including myself: The kids MUST kill Xeer. We can interfere, attack, mortally wound him, incapacitate him, but not actually make the heroic blow. Understood? (I know this sounds extremely bossy, but since this whole thing is about the kids, it seems right that they should have the final victory.)))
Dying…
The thought vaguely flicked across my clouded mind. Dying was a lot more peaceful than I had always thought of it. There was no pain, aside from the dull ache where the laser bolt had hit me. I had been shot before, with a bullet and lasers, but never mortally. It didn’t feel too painful, and soon the final rest would come…

((229- In the earlier thread, the grown-ups had discussed that a safe somewhere unknown contained mad human disease(a deadly bacteria, from BA the first I think), and that Xeer was after that in the interest of poisoning and killing all humans and/or making them his slaves. Anyway, it might have changed, but I think that we should all decide as a group what happens at the end. And I agree with ZVX, I think that sine this is ‘the next generation’ of the esistance, the kids should ultimately play the final role in Xeer’s death. But that’s very far away as far as I’m concerned. Let BA live on!))

((Well, here’s my idea: Xeer IS planning to put the disease in the center of the earth, but he thinks we may have found a cure for it. So he wants to find something else, some kind of weapon.))
I ran for a turret and gunned the nearest ship. Michelle sat down beside me. Suddenly, the ships slowed down, and high-speed missiles began flying from them. I flicked on my intra-ship radio and said, “William here. They’re trying to stop us with homing missiles! We need to gun them down fast or we’re toast!”

I pressed the purple button on the right of the dashboard, and ten or so atom target missiles flew from the bow of the ship, pinpointing a good amount of bunny cruisers and blasting them to smithereens in large orange explosions. The shokwave from the impending blast was so strong that it sent our ship careening to the left, and pieces of bunny cruisers collided into the sides with a clanging BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!

After a few minutes my mother let go of me, examining me at arms length.
“Groundhog told me about what happened to you. How are you feeling?” she asked. I was about to say ‘better’ when a wave of dizzyness engulfed me. Oops. I suppose I shouldn’t have gotten out off bed. Sparks danced in front of my eyes as the dizzyness attacked. Luckily Mom caught me before I could fall and picked me up.
“Back to bed, I think?” she chuckled. I leaned my head against her shoulder, my suddenly heavy eyelids drooping shut.
“I missed you, Mom,” I muttered sleepily.
“And I missed you. But I’m so sorry… sorry for getting you in this mess.”
I wanted to ask her what she meant, but my mouth wouldn’t obey me. My mother’s scent engulfed me as I slipped back into slumber.

I wrestled the controls and used the shock wave as a boost. “Aggie, what percent power are the engines running at?”
“100%. This is as fast as we’ll be going.”
“We won’t get to Marianas in time. Reroute all power from unneeded systems to engines.”
“Copy that. Now operating at… uh… 107, no, 110%.”
110%. I wasn’t gonna cut weapons or shields. That’s all we had. I did a few calculations… Rate*Time=Distance…
We’re weren’t gonna make it.

We were above necessary power and still had bunnies on our tail. “You’re right,” I nodded solemnly. “And besides, at any faster rate, we’ll be in pieces at the bottom of the ocean and miss the por into the trench.” I turned on my headset “All turrets, fire at will. We need to get those bunny cruisers OUTTA here. Every single last one.”
“Rodger that,” came back Aaron’s voice from the headset, echoed by muliple others. I heard blaster shots being fired from behind. But there were more important things to focus on. I turned back to TGYPWYA.
“How much power do you calculate can get us exactly into the ocean and the trench port without zapping all the weapon firepower?” I asked
“It’s impossible,” he said, shaking his head “They would have to stop firing, and we can’t let hem do that. One more direct hit to the hull and we’re goners.”
I looked back out the windw. It seemed that there were only a mild few bunnies left on our tail.
“How much time until sumergence?” I said.
“Approximately a minute,” he replied.
“Bunnies down, cut weapons, about 10.151 seconds…” I said to myself. “If they cut power in fifteen seconds, we boost to 122.86% under and we can land in the port right on time,” I said, snapping my fingers.
“Good. It’s a go,” he replied, and then into the mic, “Cruisers must be down in fifteen seconds, repeat, fifteen seconds.”

I know I’m supposed to be dying, but you need help on military tactics.
First tip: conserve firepower. Don’t use missiles and bombs–lasers are a lot easier, and at a high setting they will blow up bunny ships.
Second tip: the bunnies don’t seem to be showing much shooting power, which suggests two things:
A; they are low on power and therefore it is causing their guns to malfunction, B; they are waiting for us to get closer so they can utterly destroy us.
In that case, use blasters to attack the ships.
FIRE!!

243 – That sounded VERY odd.))
I heard the command over the radio and opened up a rapid fire. Within a few seconds, most of them were down. A few seconds later, only one remained. However, this created a problem, as this bunny doubled as a stunt pilot, and he weaved all over the place. As I mentally counted down, I said to myself, “I don’t want to do this… but it’s our only chance!” With that I flicked open a panel and pressed a large red button. A seismic charge flew out of my turret. I watched it carefully, and when it was near the pilot and at the right angle, I hit the other button.

“Ready?” asked Silvia. “Ready!” returned Pluvia. Suddenly the assault pod split in half, and two tiny triangles started darting through the bunny ships, planting airfield depigmentiziation-mines. Ships went from Hot pink a drab grey, and they eventually crashed into the ground/ocean (whichever it is). “This doesnt look good,” commented Pluvia as the pods fused into one again. “The bunnies are sending in their last defense: robo-seeker missiles. If there is any sign of an attack, one of the flying missiles will blast away the attacker. Unless, of course, we all work together we might take them all out.” “Except for one thing,” noted Silvia. “There are twice as many of them as there are of us.”

Her jaw dropped. But she composed herself quickly.
“Yes. I need help. Know anything about steering?”
“Weapons Station.”
“Go for it. NOW.”
I went, and began fiering rapidly. I knew the deadline. I caught ship after ship in a crossfire, blowing them up. 3…2…1…
I fired my last shot, and watched it sail towards the last ship.
If it missed, I’d be hpb fried chicken. It hit perfectly. It exploded. Perfect.

PADME
‘I was sitting at home with my mother, lazying around on the couch. It was one of those gray, boring, rainy days. We were watching a movie- “The Phantom of the Opera” to be exact. The phantom came onto the screen- I immediately clutched my mother’s arm, due to my fear of the Phantom. But something was wrong- her arm was furry. I looked up to find Tarnug sitting on the couch next to me, leering down at me. I shrieked in terror, but he merely laughed and shoved me. I flew off the couch and hit the wall across the room. Tarnug stood and advanced on me, the music from the movie giving a perfect soundtrack to the scene.
“What have you done with my mother?” I asked in a shaky voice.
“She’s on a prolonged break,” replied Tarnug smoothly, an evil smile on his lips. He came ever closer as he spoke. Step by step; inch by inch. I tried to stand up, but Tarnug lashed out with a paw, knocking the wind out of me. In a minute he stood, towering, in front of me. Suddenly he crouched down in front of my shaking form, pinning me to the wall with a paw.
“You’ve been lucky, Padme. You were able to escape me for a time. But now your luck’s run out…” His paws lashed out, tearing at my skin. I screamed in agony… everything was going black…’
I sat up in bed, still screaming.

I had herded all of the adults over to the infirmary to get patched up. Most of them looked surprisingly good for having been in the Dungeon of Horror, apart from the fact that they looked starved. While dispensing bandages, I heard a scream from the other side of the room and then a yelp and a thump. I turned around to discover that Padme, who had been sleeping peacefully a few minutes ago, had woken up, screaming in terror. The yelp and thump appeared to be Jenny getting startled by Padme’s scream, and falling off of her chair. Kittymine pulled her arm away from the medibot that was examining her and rushed over to the bed. Jenny picked herself up and ran over to me, wrapping herself around my legs. “It’s okay, Jen…” I said quietly. “Padme just had a nightmare, that’s all…” Around me, I could see that others were shocked by Padme’s scream as well, but were dealing with it a bit better.

Rainbowstar:
Good news! I think I found the Resistance! While traveling, I spotted some aircraft battling bunny ships. I’m currently staying in an abandoned lot near where I saw the ships. I hope I make contact with the Resistance soon. My mind keeps wandering to the terrible day my family was taken from me…
“Take Sam and run!” my husband shouted as the bunnies broke down our door. I scooped Sam up like a baby and raced upstairs. I opened a window and started to climb down our special bunny-raid escape ladder, trying not to think about the terrible noises from inside “Sam, come down after me!” I shouted. “Mommy! Help!” he shouted as he was dragged away from the window by HPBs. I began to climb the ladder, but Sam popped his head out with a glazed expression. “I’ve been Enlightened, Mommy! Come up and let them Enlighten you!” I knew he’d been zombified, and there was nothing I could do. I ran away as fast as I could, and our house exploded behind me in a cloud of hot pink smoke.
Sam:
Good news! We’ve found the Resistance! They took down a few of our ships, but at least we found them. The HPBs say I might be Super-Enlightened soon. That’s when you get turned into a bunny. It sounds awesome!

I was covered in a cold sweat. Mom came running in at my scream.
“Padme! Are you alright?” I reached my arms out for a hug.
“No… it was- Tarnug. I had a nightmare.” Already the dream seemed a bit unrealistic, and less scary. I was glad that Slythix was no where near me.
“I’ll be fine- I think. I can survive a bad dream.” Mom let go of me, still looking at me worriedly. Then a medibot started tugging at my mother’s arm. I cracked up as she swatted it away.

((274-Huh? I thought ZVX and everyone was already in the Base… Okay, fine. Just delete a few sentences in my last RPing post. I was a bit confused about that….
Or, no. Just forget about my last RPing post. It would need more editing than it’s worth, and I can write the same general idea in a little later, assuming nobody introduces a stupid plot twist. Because after everyone gets to the Base, I’m assuming that our next plot twist is that we’ll all go on a mission to rescue Juliet. Right? I mean, that seems like the logical course to take….
But that brings up another question. What are we going to do, after we rescue Juliet? It would be nice to keep going with more plot twists, but after a while that gets really repetitive. Maybe we could end the story after the rescue and start something a little different but with the same idea and characters, called ‘BA: The Resistance Files’ or something like that, basically a bunch of (semi) short stories about various Resistance missions to eradicate small populations of HPBs and keep the humans safe, or something? If we did that, we wouldn’t even have to kill Xeer in this story, we would need to have some bunny leader in BATRF (that kind of sounds like a dog throwing up a piece of shoe leather, someone might want to think of a better name…) anyway…))

((Uh hi?
Name: YodaShmoda
Age: I don’t quite understand that. I’m 13 now
Description: Grey eyes, brown-blond hair, tallish, long scar down cheek
Stroy: I was living in woods becuase way back when I was a kid my parents brought the family there so we could be safe, then I spotted Rainbowstar as she was running away from her villages Bunny Attack and have been following her ever since becuase I have almost no idea what’s going on and would like to ask her
Can I just join? Or should I wait a bit?))

((276-Sure, you can join now! Rainbowstar is, so now would be a good time for you to come in, if you’re with her. You can RP you and Rainbowstar arriving at the base now if you feel up to it, since I don’t think RS comes on BA:TNG that often….
Your age is your age now plus twelve, since you would have been 13 in the original BA, which was twelve years ago, RPGically speaking. So, anyway, you’re 25. ‘Kay?))

I am walking in the direction of a non-hot-pink building I’d spotted, when I hear leaves crunching behind me. I whip around, expecting to see an HPB. Instead, I see a human. He looks about my age, tallish, with blondish-brown hair, gray eyes, and a scar on one cheek. Oddly, he doesn’t have the glazed look of a zombified person. Is he hiding from the HPBs, too? Suddenly, I have an idea. “Hi,” I say. “I’m Rainbowstar. I’m on the run from bunnies, and I’m trying to get to what I think is the Resistance base. Are you going there too?”

((kay, thanks, um does RP mean like narrate or something? I thinks so, actually I really hope so because uh here:))
I thought I was being careful but just as I was about to creep closer to Rainbowstar I dropped my backpack, causing everything to spill out and Rainbowstar to turn to see who was sneaking up on her.
“Who’s there?” she asked voice shaky.
I figured after this long tailing her it was time to reveal myself “Uh, hi, I’m YodaShmoda, I’ve been following you. Who are they?” I pointed up to the aircraft flying above our heads with an eerie wining.
“They’re the Resistance, against the HPB’s, didn’t you know? And why have you been tailing me? If you don’t know who the Resistance is then you must not be one of the HPB’s operatives,†she answered.
“I was tailing you because I thought you had answers. When I saw that horrible attack on your village it was all I could do not to run around like a maniac. Who are the HPB’s†I answered and asked. I had followed the right person, she could give me answers, ever since Dad died I’ve lived in the woods alone, but now I need to know.
“The Hot Pink Bunnies, haven’t you heard of the Bunny Apocalypse?â€
“No,†it was all getting way over my head, but I could tell, just from the way she said it, I was on the Resistance’s side.
“Well, the Resistance, their trying to stop the HPB’s. I’m going to help them, they’ve stolen my son, Sam, and the Resistance is my only way to get him back,†she had tears in her eyes as she told me all of this.
‘Stolen my son,’ ‘stolen’ I remembered the one story Dad had ever told me, years ago, my older brother was stolen. He wouldn’t tell me why or by whom, he just said that because of that we left for the woods. Now, maybe the Resistance was my answer too.
“I will help you,†I said, “and the Resistance, I think the HPB’s stole my brother.â€
She looked as if my word wasn’t enough, ‘Nowadays, you just gotta take somones word for it, ‘cause that’s all they got’ was what one man had told me once, when I refused to believe him. I did, and he gave me the scar across my cheek. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rainbowstar didn’t take my word for it either.
“Okay, just… we’re gonna try and get those planes attention, or at least one†she said, “But I don’t know how.â€
I held up some cotton and my flint and knife, “This’ll help†We quickly made a fire making sure to use a lot of green, black billows of smoke were making their way up into the air, now we just had to wait.

I add twigs and dead leaves to the fire to keep it going, as YodaShmoda watches the sky for anyone who might spot our signal. “Look!” he says, pointing up.

ROBERTA:
I stood there with Zena, Zavier, and Kaye, watching everyone else reunite with their parents. I felt numb. Where is she? She can’t be… no…
ZINC:
The flight was a long one, and my memory returned. I sat near a window, looking down on the ground, thinking about all I had learned. The bunnies had killed Hawke, ZVX really wasn’t invincible (big surprise), and that the bunnies were even stronger now. I stared down at the trees, and saw something.
“Guys! I think someone’s made a fire down there!”
LISS:
I silently walked to where all the kids, parents, and other adults were, staring blankly at all the joy. Joy. Joy is relative. Joy had stopped for me, ever since the… ordeal.
The ordeal. The worst torture. It was so horrible it made you lose all your hopes, all your dreams, everything you ever cared about.
I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. Let these people have their joy. I wouldn’t, I couldn’t, let happiness return. Happiness is paid for with sorrow.

I followed all the kids and their parents. They were so happy so joyful. I couldn’t stand it. How could they be so joyful when some of us would never see are parents again, who would never get to see the master that raised and taught us again, who had to watch that master get broken by the HPBs. He wouldn’t give up no matter what and look what it got him, he died. All of us will die I thought the bunnies are too strong and this love and happiness is only temporary then we’ll be back to fighting again. I leaped onto a table, and with my height this made me really tall, and I screamed, “You fools you can’t hide from the darkness you can’t hide from the pain, look at you all safe and comfortable. This won’t last, most of you will die before this is over mark my words!” I felt a wave of pain, anguish, and tirdness descend upon me. I lept down and ran out of the room. I ended up in my room with the voices of parents and children echoing in my ear and then an HPBs voice saying, “You can hide but you can’t hide forever.”

I was watching in the sky for any sign of someone noticing the smoke. Please, Please, I thought. I didn’t know why I wanted it so bad but I knew I wanted to be part of this Resistance. I saw an aircraft circleing above, I rose up my arms and waved them hoping maybe we had been spotted and the aircraft wasn’t just spinning around for no good reason. Rainbowstar was jumping up and down, waving her hands too. Maybe we had a chance.

Rainbowstar:
There is a terrible ghastly noise as the ship lands, spewing smoke that makes me and YodaShmoda cough. (YodaShmoda is a girl, ignore all the times I called her “him” before.) Out comes two humans, one tall, one short. One is a man a few years older than us, maybe thirty. I don’t recognize him, but YodaShmoda seems to. It must be her brother. I look down to the smaller one. It’s a boy of about four…Sam!
He stares at me for almost a minute, as though remembering something. Then he shakes his head as if to clear it and says, “You must come with us.”
Sam:
I stare up at the two young women. One looks familiar…maybe I knew her in my un-Enlightened life? Suddenly, I am swept into a memory.
I am sitting on the floor in a biped house, accompanied by the familiar woman, and a young man that looks familiar too. I am holding a toy pistol, and a plastic HPB on wheels rolls around in front of me. I feel weak and foolish, without the increased intelligence that comes with Enlightenment. “Now!” says the woman. I shoot at the toy bunny. Its head falls off, and a happy fanfare is heard as the base of the toy lights up. “Good!” says the man. “When you’re old enough, you’ll get a real one of those, so you can protect yourself against real HPBs.”
I shake my head to clear the memory. She’s obviously an anti-lagamorph, and I’d bet my Enlightenment badge that her companion is one too. Learning to shoot our noble pink leaders? What kind of monster was I in my un-Enlightened life?
Well, I don’t have time to think about that. Memories just get in the way. I tell the anti-lagamorphs, “You must come with us.”

((290-Yeah, I meant after BA:TNG ends. It would be rather stupid to start on yet another bunny story now when we’re not even finished with this one…. Do you think we’ll be able to finish BA:TNG before Jan. 2? I’m hoping so, though I doubt it. ‘Cause, see, I was going to deal with my absence by having Kaye be kidnapped by the bunnies and just asking you guys to find her at the end of the story, but we’d be so close to being finished with the story that that wouldn’t really be practical. On the other hand, it would be a little unfair to ask one of you people to RP her on top of all the other characters you already have for three weeks or so…. Can anyone see a way out of this, other than killing Kaye? I don’t really want to do that.
Okay, since it seems like nobody from the ship is around right now, I’ll put myself in the ship. Okay?))
ARMADA:
((Okay, I’m assuming we’ve evaded the bunnies, since we need to get on with the plot.
I stared down through the window of our ship at the ground passing beneath us. I was trying my hardest to keep myself from thinking anything in particular, and failing. ZVX was dying. I just couldn’t believe it, after all we’d been through. He couldn’t be dying now, like this. It was so stupid. I was going to kill those da–those caking lagomorphs, kill every last one of them–
I suddenly noticed something on the ground below. A small fire, with a lot of smoke. And a big ship. A ship that definitely didn’t belong to the Resistance.
“Um, TGYPWYA?” I called back into the ship. “I could be wrong, but I think there are a couple humans on the ground being attacked by HPBs…. Should we stop and help them?”
“No,” TGYPWYA said, poking his head out of the cabin and into the main body of the pod. “We shouldn’t. Right now, our priority is ZVX. Who, by the way, is looking pretty bad. We need to get to the Base as fast as possible. We’ll come back later and attend to the humans, if they’re still there. If they’re not, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
TGYPWYA’s head retreated, and I heard him say, “Can’t you make this thing go any faster, Aggie?”
Well. That was that. If the humans on the ground were going to get any help, it wasn’t going to come from us.
Or was it?…
I came to a decision in a split second. I’d lost enough friends, seen enough people be killed. I wasn’t going to just sit here and let these be killed as well.
I quickly strapped on a parachute, stuffed a few laser guns from the bins on the side of the room in my belt, opened the cargo hatch in the side of the ship, and paused for a second as I heard Zinc say “Armada? What the cake are you doing?”
I turned around. “I’m going to do a good deed. Come with me if you want, but don’t try to stop me.” And I turned back around and jumped out of the ship.
The ground rushed up to meet me. I hit it running, and kept going. I reached the clearing with the ship in thirty seconds, and watched from the woods as the humans– two girls about my age, maybe a little older– were put in handcuffs and the bunnies started to take them into the ship. I noticed that there was a little boy with the bunnies, one who behaved exactly like them. He must have been hypnotized, I thought. Well, if that was the case, there wasn’t much hope for him. Focus on the other humans for now….
I sprang out of the woods and killed the five bunnies nearest me before they had a chance to figure out what was going on. But the other ones did figure it out, and it was only the fact that I had a slightly better weapon than these bunnies did that kept me alive as I battled towards the humans. When I got to them I sliced through their handcuffs and handed them each a laser gun. “I’m Armada. I’m part of the Resistance. Let’s do the rest of the introductions later, shall we?”
((Sorry for the (potentially) long post, I really needed to get something done. Sorry for the PP, Zinc and TGYPWYA. I know you’d never act like that, TGYPWYA, I just really needed someone to do it so that we could get ZVX back the base and rescue YodaShmoda and Rainbowstar at the same time.))

“Armada just jumped?” I asked.
“Yeah,” responded Aggie.
I sighed. “Once we get ZVX and the others to safety, I’m going back to help.”
I flipped a few switches, and the ship dove into the ocean, heading straight back to base.

Rainbowstar:
“Thank you so much,” I tell Armada as we fly toward the base in the ship. YodaShmoda and I escaped with only a few scratches. “For saving us, and because we’ve been looking for the Resistance.” My gaze falls upon an injured man lying in the back. “Who’s that? Was he hurt in the air battle? That was the Resistance fighting, wasn’t it?” No one speaks. I realize how serious the wound is. They must have been flying him to the base for medical attention. And he might not make it. That could be me, I realize. Or YodaShmoda, or Armada or any other Resistance member. I’ve made a dangerous choice, joining the Resistance. But it’s my only hope.
Sam:
My companion and I survey the damage done by those ungrateful anti-lagamorphs. Every single one of our bunny comrades lies dead on the ground. And neither of the humans became Enlightened. What will we tell the other bunnies? I dejectedly climb into the ship, and my comrade takes off toward the bunny base we were sent from.

An HPB pounces on me, knocking me to the ground. “Foolish biped,” it rasps. “Die now.” Remembering something I once saw in a short film, I kick the bunny away and shoot at it until it retreats. But more HPBs continue to attack me and the others, and I realize, now more than ever, what a bunny apocalypse really means.

ZENA:
I watched all of the other children rush to their parents, and my eyes wildly searched the crowd for my mother and father. Nothin met my gaze but gleeful hugs and laughs. My eyes became red and filled with tears, and I turned and ran down the corridor, away from the joyous reunions of Padme and all the others. I dashed as fast as I could, boots clomping against the wet ground and arm over my face to try and hide my emotion from anyone who might be lurking nearby. As soon as I reachd the girls’ bunk room, I flung myself onto my bunk and cried uncontrollably. Where was my mom and dad? Why didn’t they come back?
A hate so strong I could feel it burning my fingertips rose through me, as the image of a bunny standing over my dead parents and cackling came to the surface of my mind. I wanted to scream, to kick, to hurt and kill. But this emotion, so terrible and fierce died down in me, and I succumbed to heavy tears once more. Maybe there was a good reason my mother always tried to protect me. I could not restrain my anger, and even a momentago my fingers had been itching to shred my pillow to pieces with my lightsaber.
After my tears had quelled, I climbed relucantly from my bunk and stumbled sniffling into the lavatory. I splashed cold water from the rusty sink on my eyes and puffy face, red from crying. The cool liquid felt good against my feverish skin. I turned my face upwards, and then had to force myself not to scream.Instead, a small wail escaped my lips as I looked into the mirror. My face was there, reflected in the stained glass, but it was different. Pink ears had sprouted from my sleek, choppy red hair. My eyes were a bright pink, and I had fangs that matched my terrible, evil smile. And my body was pink, everything from my face to my shoulder was a bright rosey hue. It was unnatural, nightmarish, and this time I did scream, loud and long and hard. A voice echoed evilly in my ears, shrill and cackling. It was Xeer that I hard.
“This is what will become of you, Zena Conan,if you should defy me.”

((Okay, I’m confused. Aggie, has Zena been bunnified, or is this just some kind of hypnotism by Xeer? Because I wrote a whole long post describing Kaye seeing Zena like that and telling everyone that she’d been bunnified, but then I realized that that might not be quite what you meant, and it would be pretty stupid to write such a long post because of a misunderstanding…))
ARMADA:
As I battled through the HPBs, I noticed that the two women were fighting as well as Resistance members. I wondered if they were connected with the Resistance somehow, or had trained with someone connected to them. But fight as we might, there were just too many bunnies. There was no way we were going to kill them all. And they were probably calling for reinforcements right now….
“You guys, we have to get out of here!” I called to the others. “There are just too many of them!”
“Very well for you to say, Armada,” called the blond woman through gritted teeth ((that sounded really weird, but it’s possible)), fighting off three bunnies at once. “But where exactly are we going to go from here? I think your ship’s abandoned you…”
“Head for the trees! They’ll be back for us!” I called back, hoping desperately that this was true. But I had my doubts. My friends would come back for us, yes. Assuming they didn’t think I was dead already.

I manage to fight off the three bunnies that are attacking me, but before I can help the others, I see a nearby bunny launch itself into the air with its ears, heading straight for me. I impulsively shoot at it. I miss, but the shock of nearly being hit makes it miss me by inches. It hits a tree and slumps to the ground, unconscious. I feel a tug on my pant leg – more bunnies snapping at my heels. How many are there? I wonder desperately as I struggle to get them away without shooting my own feet. Probably more than could fit in the ship. Were they hiding in the woods?
I hear a child’s laughter – Sam. He and YodaShmoda’s brother are sitting up in a tree, laughing at our struggle as though it were a comedy show. The real Sam would never laugh. He’d be terrified for me, and might even try to help, however quickly he’d be killed.

I watched as Rainbowstar fought off the Hot Pink balls of fur all around us. I had no idea what to do with this gun thing in my hands. I reacted by pure instink when one of the bunny htings came my way, sending a bright ((hope this is right)) red shot of light twoerd it and sending it to the ground. I was sending bunnies down on all sides now.
Rainbowstar was slowly loseing her battle with the bunnies. They were creeping closer and closer to her. I started shooting some for her. A bunny threw itself at her. It missed her and her shot missed it but I shot at it anyways.
Rainbowstar turned to look at somthing as I finished shooting the bunnies around her feet. I looked to where she was looking. There in a tree was my brother. Who else could it be? He had the same eyes, the same hair, everything he had I did, minus the scar. I quikckly noticed he was laughing. Laughing! At his sister who almost died. I had half a mind to go slap him, where had he been for so long? I notice the boy with him is laughing too. Maybe I’ll slap both of them, I started to advance when the girl who saved us- Armada- yelled for us to run into the woods. It sounded like a good idea, at least I knew what to do in the woods.

“My babies!” I tried not to ever say anything like that, but the situation called for it. “You’re here!” Looking around, my smile started to fade. “Where’s your dad? Are you all safe?”
“Here,” Connor said. I ran up to him and hugged him, and our family reunited at last.
((Wow, that kind of sounded sentimental. Well, with something like that, if it’s not sentimental it sounds kind of heartless.))

Rainbowstar:
I raced into the woods with YodaShmoda and Armada, hoping there was no such thing as tree bunnies. We ran, dodging left and right, ducking behind trees, until we reached a large rock we could hide behind. None of us spoke as we sat there catching our breath.
“Armada,” I pant. “When we ran into the bunnies, we were traveling toward a big building that wasn’t hot pink. We thought it might be the Resistance base. It’s somewhere over there,” I say, pointing in its direction. “Is it the Resistance base?”
“Yes,” she says. “I was traveling there in a ship when I saw you being attacked. The ship kept going after I jumped out.”
“Why couldn’t the ship land?” asks YodaShmoda.
“There was an injured Resistance member in it,” says Armada. “He had to get to the base for medical attention.” I can tell from the way she says it that he might not live.
But before I can say anything, I hear the shrill call of an HPB. I peer over the rock and find myself face-to-face with a bunny. It’s so close I can see that its eyes have no pupils – just empty circles of white. And yet there’s something intriguing about those eyes. They seem to swirl mysteriously, and fill my mind with a dense pink fog –
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
There is a flash of light and a zapping noise, and suddenly I am looking at a smoking pile of cinders. I see Armada holding her laser gun. “Don’t look into their eyes,” she warns.
“Yes! Look into their eyes! Get Enlightened!” a child’s voice cries out. Looking past the remains of the bunny, I see Sam, YodaShmoda’s brother, and worst of all, all the bunnies. The battle isn’t over yet.

I watched Armada jump, and yelled, “What the cake are you doing???” but she was gone. I turned around and faced everyone else, hands on my hips. “Listen. If I know anything, which I do, Armada’s going to need help. So, if you guys aren’t going, l am.” I grabbed a parachute, and yelled, “Later!” and jumped off.
I landed in a tree. I silently spat out a few pine needles, and crawled along the branch. There– a clearing, with rabbit corpses lying around. Armada was here somewhere, and the other humans. I heard a little voice over to my left, pipe up, “Yes! Look into their eyes! Get Enlightened!” I held in my gasp. That was a little boy, telling people to succumb to the HPBs!
I scampered across bough after bough after bough until I reached a hidden spot. Then l landed with a quiet thud on the forest floor near a rock. heir backs facing me, three girls hid behind it. One of them was Armada, so I half crawled, half walked my way over to her.
“Listen,” l muttered in her ear. She turned around, reaching for her holster and found my face, and she untensed. “I don’t believe anyone else is coming, and it looks like you guys need backup. So,” I spread my arms out, “I’m the backup. Who’re these two?” “This one’s Rainbowstar and the other’s YodaShmoda. Guys, this is Zinc.” Armada said. “Hi,” they whispered in unison. “Now,” I said, rubbing my hands together while an evil little grin appeared on my face, “Let’s whup some bunny butt!”

I looked down at my shoes, twisting my wrists and feeling awkward. I looked around, and saw a fiugure in the shadows. Liss. I knew little about her, but she obviously hated this thing. All this hugging and sappy stuff. She felt angry at everyone for leaving her alone with a bunch of vicious bloodthirsty bunnies, but l suspect she still had a little capacity for love and joy.

We were behind a rock. We were behind a rock and still not safe. We were behind a rock, trying to ‘whup some bunny butts’ and not looking into the eyes of a hot pink thingy. There was another person helping us but we were still madly outnumbered. There was a little kid trying to get us to look into the bunnies eyes, and my brother seemed to be on his side. I was blasting bunnies, because it seemed to be the best idea. The bunnies were blasting back too, this boulder though was good for now. Sooner or later it would be hit one too many- I ducked as a red bolt came flying at my head.
I found a bunny at my feet, closing in quickly, I clasped my eyes, shut and blasted to its vauge direction. I squinted to see if it was still there and watched as more came through the back.
“Guys?!?” I yelled, “Bunnies at the rear!” I was blasting, and breathing, trying to catch my breath. My mouth was parched, but I kept blasting.
“Well, then, RUN!” yelled Zinc. I followed sprinting a head, quickly I realized sprinting wouldn’t help. I had troubles breathing on a good day and if we were going to be running far I had to save my breath, I slowed to the others pace. It’s a miricle what adreniline can do to your system becuase I was still running, dodgeing trees, long after my normal running capacity. We ducked behind another rock, again shooting as bunnies caught up. This time poeple were faceing the back too, in case the bunnies tried to come around back again. I kept shooting, wondering when this would end.
((okay the last words were true. When are we going to get away from the bunnies? I’m cool with fighting them but… yeah))

I groaned. The pain was receding a bit, but I was completely immoble, frozen. About five five above me was the tip of a pipe blazing as streaks of light flew out of it. The rest of the situation came into view, followed by a huge boom and pink everywhere. A blaster was pressed to my head.
“Pity. This one’s almost dead.”

((304-No, I said to scratch that post.
310-No. Get ZVX to the Base. He needs medical attention now. We’ll be okay. GO!
Whoa, that sounded really… um…. in character….
311-Um…. ZVX…. do you prefer being blastered to being lightsabered for some reason? Why the cake did you feel the need to do that!?
I mean feel the need to add that plot twist. I’m glad you’re back.))
ARMADA:
“Guys, we need to get to the Base!” I called as Zinc, Rainbowstar, YodaShmoda, and I ran– or stumbled, anyway– through the woods. It was a miracle that none of us had been hit yet, but I wasn’t counting on our luck to last. We needed to get to shelter, and fast.
“I’m going to call groundhog,” I shouted. “Can you guys cover me for a minute?”
“Sure!” shouted Zinc. “At this rock!”
We all huddled together by the rock. I tucked my blaster under an arm and pulled out a radio, hoping that there would be enough time before the bunnies got here for me to make a call. Everyone else made a semicircle around me, looking around panickily. YodaShmoda appeared to be somewhat in shock, but she kept her blaster up.
Okay, enough speculating. Every second was precious now. ” switched the radio on. “Groundhog? Are you there?”
There was a nerve-wracking moment of silence, then groundhog’s voice. “Armada? Is that you?”
“Yep. I’m on the ground in the woods outside the base. Zinc and a couple new recruits are with me. We’re being chased by HPBs. Can you open the gates for us when we get outside them?”
“Sure. Just a minute.”
“Groundhog, we don’t have a minute–”
And then the bunnies arrived. There were so many of them, I wondered at as if for the first time. There were always so many of them.
“Okay, guys, break for the Base!” I shouted.
We all ran like cake for the gates of the Base.
Well, slightly better than cake.
I could only hope that groundhog would be at the controls for the gates when we got there. Because if she wasn’t, we were all bunny toast.

We start running for the base, but I hear Sam’s voice: “Mommy!” Wait for me!” He is racing toward me, his glazed expression gone and his eyes shining. “Mommy, the spell is broken! We have to get away from the bad bunnies!” Every human and bunny stops dead in their tracks. I cry and hug him, not understanding how he was unzombified, but too glad to care. My son was back.
A large bunny with a torn ear hisses, “Which one of you imbeciles zombified him?” A thin bunny tentatively raises an ear. “YOU IDIOT!” roars the large bunny. “Can’t you puce-furred wimps even zombify right? If you’d done it correctly, he’d have been a slave for life!” He throws himself at the thin bunny, and they battle until the thin bunny has been torn apart.
“You, young man, need a booster shot!” the large bunny adds as he drags a screaming Sam away from me. He stares mesmerically into my son’s eyes. Sam tries to fight, but can’t look away. He’s being rezombified before my eyes.
I whip out my laser pistol and blast the bunny to smithereens, carefully keeping the beam away from Sam. He gets up and runs to me, hiding behind the Resistance members.
“GET THEM!” shrieks the large bunny, and the fearsome hot-pink army advances on us.

Mom slapped the medibot away in annoyance.
“Well, if you really think you’re okay, Padme, I’ll go. This bot will be after me again, if not Groundhog.”
“I’ll be okay- I actually feel better. Strangely enough, what sleep I got helped. I think I’ll get dressed and practice with the Force, since that’s not too stressful or anything.” Mom nodded at me and left. I slipped out of bed and went to my closet, picking out my regular clothes. After depositing them on my person, I fixed up my hair and then sat on the bed to meditate.
((you know, I think I liked it better when the parents were out of the way- they make life far too normal.))

((I’m not sure why I’m in shock. I think of it more as defensive mode but that’s what shock is))
I looked at Rainbowstar’s son. He was so small- how could anyone just turn him into a zombie? Rainbowstar looked like she had gotten every holiday plus her birthday rolled into one. I could see the base though the trees. I’ve always been a fast runner, if I could just get the boy there maybe there wouldn’t be another harmless lovable person in the bunnies grasp.
“Armana! How would I get in there?†I yelled, pointing at the gate up a head.
“Someone might be there,†she responded, “Why?â€
I was already grabbing the boy from Rainbowstar though. “I’m getting him there quicker!†I explained as she cried out when I tried. She nodded, obviously still not believing that this was real. I slung the boy onto my back, “Hold on okay kid?†I asked, and then I was sprinting faster than I ever had before.
Sprinting back at home was a sport. Kids like me, whose parents had tried to hide them from this bunny invasion had constant sprinting, hurdle, strength, and bow and arrow contests, all spurred on by knowing adults. I realized now how stupid the bow and arrow lessons were but the rest helped- especially now. How many sprints had I won? Too many to count. No one could beat me back home and these bunnies weren’t going to now. It didn’t help that I had a boy on my back and a blaster in my hands but, the boy- Sam- was a pile of bones and I was no longer running for fun, it was for lives.
I reached the gate, staring up to see if someone was there. I banged on it with my free hand.
“Hey got a little kid here! Com’n I need to get in!†I turned to check for bunnies, “I’m being chased by stupid bright pink bunnies! If you don’t open up then me and the boy on my back and the people back in the forest will DIE!!!â€
The gate swung just wide enough to get me in. I squashed in and carefully placed Sam down on the ground.
“I’ll assume you’re the new recruit Armada told me about,†she ((sorry if you’re a guy)) said.
“Yes, and this is a previously bunnified boy named Sam,†I answered.
“Are the others coming?â€
“I hope so†I checked back through the gate. I couldn’t see anyone.

((314-No, actually, I was co-piloting the ship with TGYPWYA. Speaking of which, we really need to get back. I’ll work on that.))
((Wait, ZVX… are there bunnies on the ship or something? I don’t quite understand your post. You’re in the medical ward of the ship.))
AGGIE:
The ship dove beneath the waves, and our view was suddenly submerged by layer upon layer of thin blue water and bubbles. A fish swam quickly out of our way as we sped past. I tapped TGYPWYA lightly on the shoulder.
“I’ve got a visual on base. We’re almost here.”
“Good,” he nodded. “Just in time. We’ve got just enough fuel left.”
I looked at William II. “Prepare to deploy the landing gears,” I nodded, smiling slightly. I was finally going to see my kids again. We were so close… And ZVX would be all right. I knew he would.
In a moment or less, we were at base. I radioed in to a familiar someone.
“Resistance to base, the eagle has landed.”
“GUYS!” Groundhog’s voice came over the speakers. I grinned.
“We’re coming in, prepare to drain chambers,” said Aaron. He was also smiling, though not as widely. We were still in dire conditions, I remembered, and ZVX needed help.
“Bring a medibot as fast as possible,” said William II. “He’s losing it.”
“Right.” Groundhog now sounded worried. “We’ll be there right away.”
We entered the landing chamber, and the seawater around us was drained as the top slats of the Trench drew to a close. I rushed to te back, taking off my headset. TGYPWYA, Aaron and William II followed closely. We entered the medical ward.
ZVX lay on the cot where we had left him, eyes slightly parted, breathing ever so slightly. He seemed very tense and unrelaxed.
“Quick let’s lift him,” said William II.
“I’ll get the door,” I offered, and TGYPWYA nodded gravely. All three of them combined strengths to lift the limp ZVX off the cot and down the ramp as the sliding doors at the end of the landing chamber opened and several worried figures rushed out. Groundhog and Kokonilly walked quickly toward our small group, followed by a stiff-looking medibot guiding a holocot towards us. We half-stumbled, half-ran to meet them. I hugged Kokonilly, smiling.
“Where have you been!” she said.
“Anywhere and everywhere,” I replied. I then embraced Groundhog in turn as ZVX was loaded onto the holocot.
“He’s getting fainter,” said TGYPWYA. “We need to get him inside, ASAP.”
“All right,” said Groundhog. Then, she turned to the Medibot. “AK-146, order. Take ZVX to the medical ward immediately.” The robot replied, “YES-MA’AM”, and pushed the holocot at top speed through he doorway.

I watch YodaShmoda run away with Sam on her back. I’m nervous about what might happen to them, but she seems to be a fast runner, and the base is pretty near. I hope they get there okay.
I am thrown to the ground by something small but powerful hitting me in the back. I twist around as I fall, so that I land on my back and can see the HPB sitting on my chest. “Your son will survive this time,” it rasps. “Unfortunately, he’s about to lose his mommy.” It swipes its razor-sharp pink claws toward my face, and they are inches from my nose when I shoot it. It falls off me, shrieking, and I finish it off with a high-power blast.

((319- You don’t say…
Basically, we are on the second generation. Most former resistance members were captured by the bunnies. Their children headed out with ZVX and Groundhog to rescue them. The kids and Co. arrive at the Marinaras Trench (aka the Base). Most of the parents actually manage to escape on their own, resulting in happy reunions for some. For the current events, see post 314 and then read down the rest of the posts. Welcome back! ))

317- That is a good question. I have an idea- what if you are actually running toward a large confusing cave. The bunnies behind you are yelling, “No! not in there!” cuz that cave is actually a small bunny base in the woods. You steal a ship and get Sam, Armada, Zinc, Rainbowstar, and yourself to the base. You can throw in whatever else you want. Do you like this idea? If not, ignore.))

((322- Sounds like a good idea. How would I get to Rainbowstar and the others though? I guess I can figure that out when I get there. ‘Kay I’ll try it! That means ignore post 316))
I looked at Rainbowstar’s son. He was so small- how could anyone just turn him into a zombie? Rainbowstar looked like she had gotten every holiday plus her birthday rolled into one. I could see the base though the trees. I’ve always been a fast runner; if I could just get the boy there maybe there wouldn’t be another harmless lovable person in the bunnies grasp.
“Armada! I’m going to run ahead and get Sam out of the way!†I yelled over the noise of blasters as she put away her radio. I didn’t wait for an answer; instead I yelled the same to Rainbowstar and grabbed Sam, helping him onto my back. “Do NOT let go,†I told him sternly. His arms grasped tighter under my arms.
I took off sprinting, going faster than I had ever before. Sprinting back at home was a sport. Kids like me, whose parents had tried to hide them from this bunny invasion had constant sprinting, hurdle, strength, and bow and arrow contests, all spurred on by knowing adults. I realized now how stupid the bow and arrow lessons were but the rest helped- especially now. How many sprints had I won? Too many to count. No one could beat me back home and these bunnies weren’t going to now. It didn’t help that I had a boy on my back and a blaster in my hands. But, Sam was just a pile of bones and I was no longer running for fun, it was for lives.
I don’t know how far I had run before I noticed bunnies behind us, which spurred me on even more; I saw a cave up ahead, a safe haven where I could defend from a higher spot, if only I could get there first.
“No! Don’t let her get in there!†one bunny yelled, apparently the bunnies knew what I had in mind.
I entered the dark cave, my eyes had to adjust for a moment and I took those seconds to take count of how much juice I had in me and how much longer I could hold out. I also checked on Sam, he was rattled, but not hurt.
When my eyes, adjusted I figured out why the bunnies hadn’t wanted me in here, I didn’t have much time but if I could get into one of those aircraft I could rescue everyone.
I jumped into the closest one, puling Sam in behind me.
“Listen, kid, I’ve never drove something like this and it’s quite possible that this could be a fluke, so please, wear your seat belt,†he solemnly followed my orders as I tried to turn it on. The shiny silver vehicle made a quite humming noise as it powered up. It hovered a few feet off the ground. I didn’t have to guts to make it any higher. I zoomed out of the cave just as the bunnies came in. I hoped dearly none of them would think of using one of the other plane thingies. My aircraft was turning sharply to left so I moved the steering wheel to the right. I quickly got the hang of it and tried to direct the aircraft to where Armada, Zinc, and Rainbowstar. Now that I had Sam I tried not to think of my brother, Dean, what happened to Dean? Tree branches smacked my face and arms; I hoped that Sam had ducked down for those. I was keeping a look out for the others.
I found them, still fighting around the rock, Rainbowstar was on the ground, battling a bunny.
“Guys!†I screamed, lowering the craft a bit, “C’mon!†they ran towered me, but the bunnies followed. Once Zinc got in the craft I moved to the back, allowing her to take the wheel. The others soon followed, blasting as they went. I placed Sam on my lap as the others climbed aboard, trying to make room.
Then, we were gone.
((P.S. sorry that that was long and if I messed up what a aircraft is supossed to look like))

KITTYMINE
There was a large commotion at the doors as ZVX was wheeled in, followed by the others from Baylee’s ship. I slapped away my medibot (again) and hurried over to look. ZVX looked bad- pale, in pain, and fading. Groundhog turned to a medibot.
“AK-146, order. Take ZVX to the medical ward immediately.â€
“YES-MA’AM.” replied the robot, pushing ZVX away. A few of the others followed, including Groundhog. My medibot approached again.
“Now what?” I asked it, a tad irked.
“YOU-ARE-NOT-FULLY-BANDAGED. MUST-FINISH…” it said in its mechanical voice.
“I’ll finish myself- now could you please stop following me?”
“YES-MA’AM.”
I walked away, wandering around the Base. It had been years since I had last been here. The last time I had been here was…12 years ago. Yikes. As I walked, I came to the far end of the base. Opening a door with slight curiosity, I peeked inside.

My eyes beheld a terrifying sight. Kinda. The room appeared to be an interrogation room- rarely used by us Resistance members, but still there for those few times when we needed it. The scary part was that it looked very similar to a room I knew all too well- a room in the Dungeon of Horror…
‘It was almost inconcievable. How on earth did the bunnies manage to find out where I had been living? But it had happened- I had been captured in my own kitchen. Not without a fight, certainly, but still. I was now hanging, chained, from the stone wall of some dungeon or other. HPBs and black bunnies surrounded me, looking at me in delight. I craned my neck around as much as I could to see who else was here- if anyone. To my horror, former Resistance members, my friends, were in exactly the same predicament as I was. My eyes scanned the familiar faces- Aggie, Aaron, Kokonilly, Zinc, AvalonGirl, Serafina, Titan_is_Evil…’
I opened my eyes with a gasp, the realization hitting me like a ton of bricks. Juliet wasn’t the only one we had left behind…

((312- indeed, being killed by a blaster is by far preferable to getting stabbed with a lightsaber. Lightsabers hurt. ))
((318- have you realized how easy it would be for a bunny to get into the medical room of the ship while everyone else is engaged in battle?))
A bunny was standing over me–thankfully only one. I mentally smiled. This bunny wouldn’t know what hit it.
I used the Force to hurl the bunny through the trapdoor it had come through, straight into the blazing of a mounted automatic blaster.
I attempted to move, but to no avail.
Then the medibot rolled in.
“Medibot 286A to perform antilaser operation.”
It attached a long tube with a suction cup where the shot had hit, and injected a purple liquid on the burn. A long metal arm from a machine in the vague direction of the door put a beam of light on the wound, and then the medibot continued.
“Sleep for twelve hours.”
I had no intention of sleeping. With a hurried “Thanks,” to the medibot, I shoved myself up.
It hurt. Still, it was better than dying. I picked up my lightsaber from the bedside table where someone had considerately set it, and opened the door.
I walked into complete chaos. Laser fire streaked all around and Resistance members were running all over the ship, shooting, ducking, dragging a crate of grenades. Bunnies were zooming on small attack pods, and someone tapped me on the shoulder. It was Agrrrfishi.
“You’re not fit to be walking around!”
“Yes, I am. The medibot did a good job…”
“No, we’re all occupied, no one can protect–”
“Aggie, all right. I’ll snipe at them from the hold.”

Groundhog and I walked quickly toward a shuttle which had just landed. It was our friends! AK-146, a medibot, was guiding a holocot came with us, but we hoped it wasn’t necessary. They ran toward us and Aggie hugged me, grinning.
“Where have you been?†I asked.
“Anywhere and everywhere,†she replied. I greeted the others likewise.
“He’s getting fainter,†said TGYPWYA. “We need to get him inside, ASAP.â€
“Who? What?” I looked. “ZVX!” He looked close to death.
“All right,†said Groundhog. She turned to the Medibot. “AK-146, order. Take ZVX to the medical ward immediately.†Obediently, the robot did so.
“Is he going to be all right?” I asked nervously.
“I hope so.” Aggie looked just as nervous.
Then she saw her children.

Sam starts crying, and I take him from YodaShmoda and hold him in my lap. “Mommy, the bunnies, they tried to kill us…” he sobs. “Yes,” I say gently. “But don’t worry, we’re safe now. The Resistance members are taking us to the base. The bunnies can’t get us now. Are you okay?”
“My knee hurts,” he whimpers. His pant leg is torn, and his knee grazed. “They’ll put a Band-Aid on it at the base,” I reassure him. “They probably have an an infirmary.” I am covered with various cuts and bruises, as are the other adults, but none of us is hurt too seriously. We were lucky. But how much longer will that luck last?

((329- Uh, ZVX, the other passengers on your ship have arrived with you at the base. So how could you be having a fight with bunnies on the ground? Unless bunnies followed you to the base? *is very confuzzled*))
PADME
Someone knocked on my door. I opened my eyes, coming down from my bubble.
“Come in!” I called. Kaye walked in, looking a bit upset and lonesome.
“Hello Kaye. Have a seat,” I motioned to a spot next to me on my bed. She walked over and sat down next to me.
“Thanks, Padme. I’m glad to see you’re up and about.”
“Yeah, well it takes more than one evil bunny to finish me off,” I replied, waving my hand carelessly. “But never mind that- are you okay? You look a bit down.”
“Isn’t it obvious?” she whispered, her *insert color* eyes filled with tears. For a moment I was a bit confused. But then I remembered that her mother hadn’t come back- she was still in the DOH.
“Oh Kaye, I’m so sorry!” I said, giving her a big hug, tears running down my own cheeks. I looked into her cold, sad eyes.
“I’m going to make sure we find her, and that’s a promise,” I said seriously. “In fact, I can tell you right now that she’s still alive- vampires are incredibly hard to kill and bunnies don’t have the cranial capacity to figure out how.” Kaye smiled at me.
“Thanks, Padme, for understanding.”
“No prob! Now why don’t we go practice fighting or something? I hear we only have five days to train before storming the DOH and stopping Xeer from going to the center of the earth!”

I ran back toward everyone else in the front of the base, my mind whirling. The realization that we had left yet another person behind made it all the more crucial that we rescue them ASAP.

It seems that I appeared all of a sudden. Titan has been taken over by evil orange bunnies, so it is full of danger. All the Titanites have either fled or perished, so there was no sense in staying there alone. I’ll come back someday, I thought as i drove a random spacecraft to Earth. When half there, I suddenly teleported into some random room… spacecraft and all.

AGGIE:
Aaron and I walked into the trench behind Kokonilly and her kids, as ZVX was led via holocot to the medical ward. TGYPWYA and William II followed him to make sure he would be all right, but for now I needed to take orders. I promised myself I would check on ZVX as soon as I saw Zena and Zavier ((who nobody seems to know where they are!)).
“What do we do now?” I asked Nilly, clinging to Aaron’s arm. My legs were sore, bruised, and cut, and it was getting hard to stand.
“There’s a group of people in the meeting room,” she said as Rachel gave her a tug on the shirt. “Mommy, I wanna go down!”
“Okay, sweetie, run along,” she said, scooting both girls through a door. We walked in after them.
Sure enough, there was Kittymine, and a few others who were unfamiliar to me. I gave Kittymine a quick hug of greeting and reunion, glad to see that she was okay, and then turned to the others. “Nice to meet you,” I said, and they introduced themselves in turn: Zorgon, Liss, erre, Titan_is_Evil, and Muselover. Connor, who sat on the end of a large couch stood up and gave Kokonilly and both girls a hug.
“Hi, Connor,” said Aaron, nodding and smiling at Nilly’s husband. I did the same, but more hurriedly.
“Has anyone seen Zena or Zavier?” I asked, wiping sweat from my nervous visage.
“I think I saw her in the girls’ bunk room,” said Kittymine. “Down the hall and to the-”
“Left,” I said. “I remember. Thanks, I’m gonna go see her.” As fast as I could on my limping leg, I rushed down the hall, and was about to open the door when two girls came out and brushed past me and hurried down the hall towards the battle simulation room.
“Oops, sorry!” said the second girl. The first one turned around.
“Hi, Aggie!” said Padme. I remembered her as Kittymine’s child.
“Hi, Padme,” I said. “Have you seen Zena?”
“I think she’s in there,” said Padme, “but I’m not sure, I didn’t speak to her. She was awful upset when you didn’t come.”
“All right, thanks,” I said, my heart sinking. “See you Padme, and…”
“Kaye,” said the other girl, smiling. ” ‘Bye!”
I sighed as the two girls disappeared down the hallway. I hoped I hadn’t hurt Zena by coming late. Had se thought I was…dead? The thought crossed my mind and made me shudder. To think, I hadn’t given hardly a thought to either of my kids during this entire ordeal. What would they have done without me? Quietly, carefully, I opened the door to the bunk room, praying that my daughter would forgive me.

ROBERTA:
I walked slowly back to my makeshift room. What happens next? A few more adults had arrived, but not my mother. Where was she? Was she alone? Was she…
…dead?
I raced to my room now, tears spilling out. Slamming the door behind me, I fell down upon my bed, and cried. Then, I heard the door creak open. I lifted up my head.
LISS:
I watched from the shadows as the rest of the adults came in. A few kids were reunited, except for Roberta. I noticed her walk away quietly, and silently followed after. Suddenly, she broke into a run, and a quickened my pace. She entered her room, and shut the door behind her loudly. I bit my lip and gripped the handle. I opened the door.
The girl looked up.
I froze. How was I supposed to do this???
Roberta looked at me, appalled. “Oh come now, I’m allowed to show a little emotion once in a while!” I exclaimed crossly. She let out a watery chuckle. “Yes, I supposed you are.” she said.
I awkwardly sat down on the matress as Roberta moved over to make room for me. “Listen, don’t feel bad about your mom not coming. I went through the same experience.” “I know,” she said. “What?” She took a deep breath and said, “While I was here, I stumbled upon a file room. That was right after the training session you had with me. I was thinking about who you were and your past, so I looked at your file. You spent your childhood all alone, nary a mother or father. You spent your time out in the woods with a camera you had and practiced photography. You became one of the original Resistance members. Before you were captured in Las Vegas, you were happy and laughing a lot. The Resistance presumed you dead, bunnified, zombified, or hypnotized. What were they to expect? I mean, someone saw you dragged away by some bunnies! Hypatia, I think.” “I remember Hypatia.” “Don’t interrupt. You saw your entire family slaughtered and all you had was a camera. Since then, you’ve given up photography.”
I was astonished. I barely remembered any of my past but the torture and loving photography. Torture had washed away the rest of it. I said, “Thank you.” and hurried out of the room.

ZENA:
I lay on my bunk, staring up a the blue ceiling and feeling both frightened of what Xeer had made me witness, and grief that my parents had not returned with the others. I head people come and go from the long room, none of them speaking to me, none of them seeing me in the top bunk at the very end of the chamber.
Suddenly, there was a voice from the door.
“Zena?”
I sat up very straight in my bed, heart pounding, eyes filling with tears as I turned to see my mother walk into the bunk room. She was shaken and bloody, but the look on her face showed nothing but longing to hold me in her arms. She looked towards me. I could hardly believe it was her.
“MOM!” I cried, and leapt the four feet from the top of the bunk bed onto the ground. I ran as fast as the wind to my mother’s waiting arms.
“Oh, sweetheart, I missed you,” said my mother shakily.
I could not say anything. I siply sobbed into my mother’s shoulder, my fears swept away by the appearance of my mom in the trench. Then, after what seemed like forever, I drewback. My true feelings betrayed me.
“But..where have you been?” I asked.
“We got held up by the bunnies,” my mom said. “It took extra force to bring us back from the dungeon twice, especially when ZVX was wounded. I wanted to be back, sweetie, I really tried, but…” Her voice trailed off.
‘Oh, it’s fine,” I cried happily. “I’m just so glad that you’re here!” I hugged her again, and for once through this nightmare, everything seemed somewhat all right…

When she didn’t reply, I wandered along (with Aggie and Aaron following me, oddly enough) and stumbled upon the meeting room. There were a bunch of people there.
“What do we do now?†Aggie asked me. I turned and noticed she looked exhausted and was clinging to Aaron for support.
“There’s a group of people in the meeting room,†I said.
Rachel tugged on my shirt. “Mommy, I wanna go down!â€
“Okay, sweetie, run along,†I said, not caring how motherly that just sounded.
Kittymine was there, as were some other unfamiliar people, who introduced themselves as Zorgon, Liss, Titan_is_Evil, Muselover, and someone else whose name I didn’t catch.
Connor, sat on the end of a large couch. He stood up and gave us a bear hug.
“Hi, Connor,†said Aaron casually, as if this was a simple dinner party and not a war. Aggie followed suit, but differently… somehow. She seemed anxious for something.
Sure enough: “Has anyone seen Zena or Zavier?†she asked.
“I think I saw her in the girls’ bunk room,†said Kittymine. “Down the hall and to the-â€
“Left,†she finished. “I remember. Thanks, I’m gonna go see her.†She left.
“Um, so what’s the big deal, everybody?” I asked nervously. “I heard something about sniping, but…” I trailed off.

We burst into the “interrogation room” and unleashed a huge ball of anti-bunny plasma energy. The bunnies were wiped out completely, except for a few on the ceiling. “We’ve gotta get out of here!” exclaimed Pluvia. “It’s not safe.”
((Oh, um… I was wondering I dont want to sound, but is do any of you think that it might be okay if Silvia and Pluvia played a role in the death of Xeer? Also, can we start to speed things along a little? I’m kind of lost. Thanks.))

KITTYMINE
I walked back toward the center of the Base after my little self tour of the facilitiy (to refresh my memory, you know) and walked into the meeting room. There we had a round of introductions for the new people- Zorgon, Muselover, and Slythix.
“Um, so what’s the big deal, everybody?†asked Nilly nervously. “I heard something about sniping, but…†her voice trailed off. Slythix cleared his throat.
“We currently have bunnies outside the Base- that’s either in the water or in the hangar- that are attempting to invade. We have some automatic guns that are currently sniping at them, but we need some real people,” summarized Slythix.

((Anybody up for a prolonged siege of the Trench? Throw in some ideas!))
I arrived on the back end of the conversation.
“…But we need some real people,” Slythix was saying. “We’re waiting for the totals on bot loss from Groundhog. Around two hundred have returned, but we have bunnies on our doorstep, so we can’t be picky.”
“Yeah,” I said, entering. “It’s time we used the Base to its full extent. The cameras are transmitting a battalion of some two thousand bunnies. It’s okay though, there’s about that many blaster cannons and turrets ready to fire on the outside of the Base.”
Slythix frowned. “True, but Xeer’s going to have five times that number on our tail if we eliminate this little attack. Ten thousand is bound to cause some problems, no matter how many blaster cannons you’ve got.”

…little attack. Ten thousand is bound to cause some problems, no matter how many blaster cannons you’ve got,†finished Slythix.
“Not if we can trap them,” I pointed out. The others looked at me quizzically. “Look- we take out these bunnies by any means necessary. Then we fake an evacuation and form a perimeter around the base with our ships. When the main force arrives, we catch them surrounded. It’s risky, but our best bet.”
“That may work, but how are we gonna take out the first group?” asked Muselover.
“Now that,” I responded, “is a good question.”

((Good job PPing my character, you guys. It was getting a bit confuzzuling, so I stayed out for a while.))
I suddenly had an idea. “Lets just go out there, and smash them!”
Everybody looked at me strangly. TGYPWYA put a hand on my shoulder. I shoved it off.
“He’s still under the effects of Ragefire.” said TGYPWYA.
They still looked oddly at us. I told them about what had happened. Then I said “How about this, then? We upgrade the little laser pistols, and put them on soldiers, namely us, to go out there…”
“And smash them, we know. How will you upgrade them?” said TGYPWYA. Everyone else was laughing. I gritted my teeth. I hated people laughing at me.
“Antimatter.” I said. “The atomic bomb in a laser pistol.”
Everyone stopped laughing.
ZVX smiled. “Yes. I agree with this plan.”
“Let’s go!” I said, leading the rest to the workshop.

“Atomic bomb?” I turned pale. “Is there any chance that maybe these very dangerous things could BACKFIRE?” I screamed. Everyone turned. “You know, there are kids here! You can’t put them in jeopardy because you guys are trying to be cool, or macho, or – or -”
Never make the mother bear mad. The mother can override the warrior.
“Antimatter is far too dangerous to have here! Just because he’s under the influence of some drug that makes him violent doesn’t mean you automatically follow him!” I felt I was going into the home stretch, even though everyone was staring. “You can’t just go to the lab and cook up some random antimatter that, should it contact matter of any kind should send us all to kingdom come!”
Rachel and Sophia were a bit frightened, but understood perfectly.
“Hey.” Connor dragged me down. “Stop freaking out. I’m sure they won’t do ANYTHING of the sort, now, will they?” He looked at them with a look that said No, you won’t, will you?. (For added effect, he arched his eyebrow.)
(( Gosh, that was fun!))

I listened quietly outside the meeting room. When the topic of an atomic weapon was raised, I was indignant. We would probably blow up the bunnies… and in the process, blow up the base and the western half of the country. “There’s got to be another way,” I thought to myself.
0
0
“No, actually we won’t,” I said, backtracking. “We’ll blue-rinse them!”
“But–” Kokonilly burst out. “That’s as dangerous as an atomic bomb! It kills everything it touches…”
“Not if it’s programmed!”
Groundhog walked through the door. “What’s going on?”
“We’re trying to destroy the bunnies. Using a large amount of….force. Blue rinses. Atom bombs.” I answered. “Kokonilly, why not move the kids out to a safe place with a designated caretaker, and then those who will stay–the adults, though it’s not obligatory, will take out the bunnies.”
“No.” said Groundhog. “That’s suicide. Kokonilly’s right, just because you and you don’t care”–she looked irritatedly towards Slythix and I– “Does not mean we will be sacrificing the Resistance. You’re trying to be better than you are.”
Stung, I shot back. “Groundhog, you’re not a battle commander.”
“No, I’m not. But living in a undercover military situation for half my life doesn’t make me a novice, either. We’ll blue-rinse them, and after that those with lightsabers need to go to fight the last battle.”

((Darn. Antimatter explosions look cool. Hee Hee.))
“Ok.” I responded. “If you don’t like that, then how about robots, with my specialty upgraded rayguns for the first wave, softening them up. Then the fighters in this group, namely ZVX,TGYPWYA, me, and others, come in the second wave, with lightsabers, or in my case, daggers and swords. And then we use small fighting ships, pods maybe, to come in, and smash ’em!”
Zvx smiled. Groudhog gaped.
“You still use swords?! And pods?!”
“They work. But, is the plan good?”

“There’s the base,” says Zinc, pointing. YodaShmoda steers the ship toward it and lands in front of a gate. We get out, and Armada presses a button on the gate. A red line of light passes down our bodies. “UNZOMBIFIED HUMANS,” says a robotic voice. “TWO RESISTANCE, THREE UNIDENTIFIED. ALLOW UNIDENTIFIED HUMANS?” “Yes,” says Armada. The gate opens, and we walk in.

Kaye and I walked toward the training area, about to have a lightsaber fight. As we walked we passed the meeting room and heard the adults talking. We decided to eavesdrop- who knew if their plans would be kid friendly. We didn’t want to end up being left behind again.

Blue rinses are very useful, but not if the bunnies can just dodge out of the area where the light will be focused.” I commented.

When Baylee’s ship carrying Baylee, TGYPWYA, William II, ZVX, Aggie, Aaron, and Slythix came back to the Base, bunny ships followed them. The base is currently surrounded (or being surrounded) by bunnies. YodaShmoda, Rainbowstar, Sam, Zinc, and Armada just entered the base, slipping through a spot that the bunnies hadn’t covered yet.
Now since the base is surrounded by bunnies trying to infiltrate, there is a meeting going on about what to do to get rid of them. Various suggestions have been made, including Antimatter Lasers, Bio-bombs, Robots with Ray Guns, and blasting 3/4 time music, since bunnies can’t stand it.
See post 363 for the Antimatter plan, post 366 for the Bio-bomb plan, post 367 for the Robot plan, post 373 for details of the 3/4 time plan, and post 380 for more bunny weaknesses.))

This was getting interesting. All of these plans to destroy the surrounding bunnies sounded good. But they were missing one point- all of the adults seemed to be running under the assumption that we kids would be sitting around in a hide somewhere wondering how our parents were doing. We only just got to see our parents again, for Pete’s sake! I turned to Kaye.
“Think we should walk in and demand that they fit us into the plan? We’re not chopped liver!” I whispered.
“I agree- let’s go,” she whispered back, her face set.
We both stood up and walked into the meeting room.
“All of those plans are very nice,” said Kaye. “But you’re missing one crucial point. Don’t think that you’re just going to keep us hidden during the fight with nothing to do but worry about what’s happening.”
“And worry about our parents who we were just reunited with, by the way,” I added. “No, whether you like it or not, we will fight- we’re not chopped liver. And how else are we supposed to prepare to bring down Xeer?” I stated.
“Training excersizes will only take you so far,” reminded Kaye.

AGGIE:
I then heard some sort of commotion gathering from the end of the hall. I took Zena’s hand.
“Come on,” I said. “Let’s go.”
We walked down the hall and back into the meeting room. I opened the door to find a grouping of people-namely Nilly, ZVX, TGYPWYA, Slythix, Groundhog and Kittymine. They were talking about making an attack on the bunnies outside. I put in a word.
“Blue rinse sounds effective, that’s true, but don’t you think that these bunnies are a bit smarter than the brainless ones we fought back in the glory days? It’s a new generation, people. These bunnies could easily dodge out of the way of a focused rinse if they…”
“Knew it was coming.” ZVX cut me off. “Which I doubt they do.”
“Who knows? They could be eavesdropping,” I replied. “Tecnology’s taken a sprint since we were last here, and after twelve years these walls probably aren’t what they used to be. Anyway, I agree with Groundhog, I think some sort of distraction would be better to catch them off guard. Either way, I don’t think we should send resistance members out at least until the bunny troops nearest the Trench are down. Robots first, then humans. Robots can withstand more firepower than humans can.”
I then realised how bossy I had sounded. I blushed. “Sorry,” I said. “Just a suggestion.” Somehow, I had never been able to overcome my self-consciousness, even after all this time.

The gate automatically closes behind us after we walk in. I notice that bunnies are surrounding all other parts of the base, and even as we watch, bunnies leap in front of the gate – we got in just in time to avoid them.
Inside, there is some sort of meeting going on. They are discussing bunny weaknesses, but when we enter they stop and look at us. “These are the new recruits,” says Zinc. “Rainbowstar and YodaShmoda. We saw them being attacked by bunnies, and helped them. YodaShmoda stole a bunny ship, and we flew here in it.”
“I’m Sam!” says Sam.
I look around at all the children and adults in the room. I take a deep breath and say, “Um…you might know this already, but there’s bunnies surrounding your base.”

It wasn’t the quiet I expected the base to be. The world wasn’t how I was taught it to be eaither- fancy that.
I stood in the back as people argued the highs and lows of different solutions to the bunnies that had apparently been surrounding this place for a while. Some kids where trying to be part of the fight too but I didn’t think that was a smart idea. I didn’t think anything atomic would help eaither, all it would do was blow us up too.
There was only one idea that seemed like a good idea to me. The only problem with stnading in the back, being naturaly shy, and being new is that voicing your idea doens’t seem like a smart idea. But then again neither did blowing up bunnies.
“I like the waltz idea! There’s no ifs, just violins!” I piped up. Only one head turned so I tried again.
“Hey! People! Blowing things up is all very fun but not very effective if it blows you up too! Waltz music isn’t at all danjorus to us but apparently bad for those fluffy pink slime balls!” everyone heard that one and turned to look at me, “but that’s just the opinion of a new recruit” I whispered, cringing from the eyes looking at me with what could be respect.
((Thanks too for the summery, it helped))

“With what?”
“OK, so I joined the resistance, and we’re out near the Trench with about 2,000 bunnies surrounding us, and 10,000 more on the way. Do you think you could help us by coming and using your secret power?”

“If they fight, they’ll die. If the hide, they’ve got more chance of living. These two–” I indicated Kaye and Padme. “Seem to think it’s a good idea for them to fight. But they’ve never been in an epic battle before, just a couple skirmishes.”
“But–” began Kaye.
Kittymine frowned. “Padme has a lightsaber. She can protect herself.”
“What about the others?” I asked. “Blasters are useful, but against a bunny army they won’t work. They’ll be killed within five minutes.”
“Precisely why they will be staying inside the Base–albeit shooting from the firing holes. They’ll provide some assistance.” Kittymine explained. “If those who don’t have Jedi power can shoot from there, we may be able to eliminate this crowd. A Jedi can kill five hundred or more bunnies alone, but the kids with blasters would only manage twenty or so.”
“Don’t condemn them to being less powerful.” I warned. “A row of machine blasters would be deadly.”

KAYE:
“What? Padme gets to fight out with you, with a lightsaber, and I have to stay inside the Base and provide assistance?” I glared at ZVX. I was getting fed up with all the adults treating the kids like infants.
“Slythix gets to fight, you’re relying on him for the attack plans. He’s only two years older than me! Do you think Zena or Zavier or Roberta is going to like this any better than I do? For gods’ sake, we’ve all been trained. By you people. You have enough lightsabers. You’re going out to fight in full body armor, why is that suddenly too risky for us?”
I looked over at groundhog. “You developed the latest line of bunnyproof suits. They should live up to your standards of protection. All of us kids are just as worried about the bunnies as you are. I’m probably more worried than some of you, in a personal sense. Have you forgotten that my mother is out there, in the Dungeon of Horror? I won’t be able to help her by sitting in the Base shooting through the firing holes and providing assistance!”
The room went quiet for a moment after my outburst.
((Okay, RP whatever. But seriously, if you make me– that is, Kaye-me– stay in the Base during the battle, she’s going to sneak out and join in the fighting. Or, no, maybe not…..
Okay, guys, I need ideas as to what to do with Kaye&Armada&Juliet. NOW. I’m leaving in a week. I need time to RP whatever changes I need to RP into the story.
-I could have made Kaye get kidnapped, if it was a week ago, but I can’t do that now and I don’t think I’m going to be able to do it before next Friday.
-Armada I can’t see any way whatsoever to get rid of. Not temporarily, anyway.
-Juliet there’s absolutely nothing I can do about, somebody’s just going to have to RP her. Or she could be a whoever-wants-to-can-RP-her character.
But we need to figure this out before I go. Because I DO NOT want to come back to BA:TNG in April and find out that all of my characters have vanished. ‘Kay?))

“I’m hungry!” Sam says. “Shhh,” I tell him. But a robot leads me, Sam, YodaShmoda, Zinc, and Armada into an infirmary where other robots tend to our cuts and bruises, then gives us something to eat. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was – the last thing I ate was a few carrots stolen from a bunny garden, before I met YodaShmoda.
We wolf down the food and rush back to the meeting, where the Resistance members still appear undecided.
I timidly raise my hand. “I like Groundhog’s idea, about playing a waltz and shooting the bunnies with torpedoes while they writhe in pain.” I say. “But…I think we should send out robots to shoot the bunnies, if we have them.That way, no one would have to go outside.”

“Wait,” Rachel and Sophia chimed in. “We can fight! We can use lightsabers! We wanna fight!”

After calling Shadow, I walked back to the meeting room door, just in time to hear the idea of robots. It sounded great, but there was one wrinkle. I walked in and said, “And what if Star Wolf comes back?”
Aggie turned and asked, “Star Wolf?”
“Those guys we ran into in the Arwings,” I said, folding my arms. “If Xeer sends ’em, they’ll wipe out tens of robots in just a minute or so, and the robots won’t be able to retaliate at such high speeds. They’ll destroy the robots, then create an opening in the wall, allowing the bunnies to swarm in. Bottom line: We can’t just use robots.”

“Lightsabers!” said Sam. “I wanna use lightsabers!”
“Sam, it’s dangerous. It’s not like a movie. You could die,” I said.
“But the bunnies killed Daddy! We have to kill them!”
“We’re going to,” I explained. “We just want to do it in a way that’s safe for us. Music can’t hurt us, but it can hurt them.”
“Music is boring! Lightsabers are cool!”
“Sam, this isn’t about cool or exciting. It’s about surviving. When you were zombified, did you see how strong the bunnies were?”
“Yes,” he admitted. “They could kill people in one second. And it was scary. But not for me because I was on their side.”
“Well, this time, they’re against us. They could kill any of us. So we have to stay safe. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”

Name: Syara
Age: 13 + ?
Description: light brown shoulder length hair, green eyes (with flecks of gray)
History: I was captured by the HPBs when I was little. They trained me as mercenary/spy, but left me for dead after a lost battle. I survived, but now I’m amnesic and can’t remember my life before the HPBs. They could cure my amnesia, but they won’t since I could then turn against them. So now I want to defeat them so that I can force them to restore my memories.
That’s why I work for the resistance, but they dislike me since I have nothing to lose and am not very social.

“I’m not suggesting that you kids shouldn’t have an equal part in this.” I said to Kaye. “I’m suggesting that everyone’s equal part in this be very small indeed. Considering that half of us have only just returned from a bunny prison, I’d prefer that the risk of anyone else getting captured or killed be minimized. If we have to go out there ourselves, then I would support a battle plan that utilizes everyone’s talents to the utmost, because we’ll need all those talents in that case.” I sighed, burying my face in my hands. My worst nightmare had come true and the bunnies had found the Base. Was there no sanctuary anywhere? No, my mind told me. Not unless you preserve this one.

398) Let’s say that I’m 26,5 years old.
401) “We need to stall for time.”, I said harshly. “The bunnies won’t let us go this time and even if we can defeat them, they will be back. If we can distract them long enough to let the majority flee……Let’s play the waltz AND send the robots out. During that time the injured and the kids can escape. After that we’ll have to try a sortie. If we’re determined, they will have more trouble bunnifying us.” Groundhog wanted to object, but Kaye, Sam & co beat him to it: “But we want to fight to !” “You’re to young,” I said ” the bunnies will do everything to recruit you. You need to stay safe.” “But…”, Sam started to say, heartbroken. “No.”, I said, trying to quell my fear. The only memories of my past life swam before my head- white snow, red blood and terrible, biting cold. There was no way that I would allow them to share my fate. Rachel stared at me, surprised by my harsh tones. Allies had always been nice to her before. I’d long given up being considerate and tactful, since people thought of me as queer anyway. Groundhog insisted:”Syara, we can’t run anymore. And it’s just as much the kid´s battle as it is ours. We have to make a stand. There’s nowhere left to go- and not enough transports.” “I said that most of us can get away. We can’t last here forever, even if we repulse the first waves. We´re fighting an uphill battle on a lost post.” But Groundhog insisted: “It’s their battle to. They may be young, but they’ve survived as much as any grown member of the resistance. It´s also impossible to evacuate some people and abandon others.” I gave up arguing. how could Groundhog understand the experiences that made me want to send the orphans somewhere else- anywhere ! I was used to small fights and ambushes, surviving, blending in- and striking. The “last stand“ thing was new to me. But it had a bitter taste- an act of desperation, which always had a high cost. I waited to see what the meeting decided…

I looked at one who had just spoken, I think his (her?) name was Goundhog, and he was right. “We can’t just expect to win its with just a run out attack idea. We need to play to everyone’s strengths.” It was like the capture the flag games we played in the forest, the fast kids were the capturerers, the good hider’s the look outs, the best with the bows and arrows shot blunt arrows coated with chalk- another sign that you were out. It all worked perfectly if everyone was willing to do the job they didn’t want to do but they did the best. Only once was I able to be on a team where no one complained about their job, and they weren’t very good anyways. It seemed Bookgirl_me didn’t want the kids to fight bu tthey need to we need them.

ZENA:
I finally spoke up, incensed by what I was hearing. “So Padme can make use of her training, while the rest of us stay in here and cower like little babies,” I said. “That seems fair.”
Hot-headedness had always been an opressed trait of mine, but this time it was rising to the surface.
“I don’t want to leave my parents here! I don’t want to go while the others fight! I want to be out there with them, fighting Xeer with them, and if I die, I will die with honor. I have my own lightsaber, too. I’m old enough now to understand that safety is no longer an option for any one of us, no- not even the young ones. Walls can’t protect us, only weapons can. I don’t care what anyone says, when the first wave of attackers moves out, I’m going with them.”
My mother placed a hand on my shoulder. “That’s enough, Zena,” she said. “With any luck, you won’t have to fight. The robots are capable of shots. However, if it is seen that we have to battle, then it will be the decision of the parents whether their kids will fight or not. I think that if we prepare a battle plan, it should be one in which the kids also play a role as well. Let’s face it: the old Resistance is getting weaker. What will happen when we’re gone? We will need our children to carry on after us. They need to learn what they’re in for later in their lives. Now is the time, and I think they are ready. It’s now or never.”

When we (as in my family and I) had finally settled down, we listened to Groundhog. “…If we have to go out there ourselves, then I would support a battle plan that utilizes everyone’s talents to the utmost, because we’ll need all those talents in that case,” she was saying.
I nodded. She had an excellent point there. YodaShmoda spoke up. “We can’t just expect to win its with just a run out attack idea. We need to play to everyone’s strengths.”
I didn’t quite understand the first sentence, but the second came clear as a bell.
“Everyone who can use the Force, should,” I spoke up. “They can stand on top and maybe choke bunnies or hurl things at them. People who have good aim can snipe. And the people who are good healers can run around healing people. Just a suggestion,” I added hastily.
0

406) “I think the healers are a good idea. There will be many wounded- and every fighter is necessary. I still think that this battle is folly, but I am overruled. I can help the healers.” Then I sat down, my head spinning. Two voices were arguing inside my head… ‘The resistance needs everyone who can use the force. the bunnies trained you- you should fight !’ says one. But the other is more convincing: ‘The BUNNIES trained you. They trained you as a killer. You may be allied to the resistance- but you still fight like a HPB.’ I feel lamed, incapable of doing a thing. If I fight, everyone will see that my training has followed another path- that I still have more in common with the HBPs than is wise. If I remain silent, I betray them by not using my true strengths. Around me, everyone is busy assigning battle stations- no-one has noticed my inner dilemma. I excuse myself from the meeting walk away blindly, trying to find a solution. I head to a remote part of the Base- I don´t want people sticking their nose into my affairs, wondering why I’m not at the meeting. Suddenly something hits me on the head- I fall and then everything goes dark. My last thought: “Well done, Syara- you always want to be independent, to hide from other people, to be alone. No-one knows you´re here- and in this lonely corridor, no-one will find you…

“Everyone who can use the Force, should. They can stand on top and maybe choke bunnies or hurl things at them. People who have good aim can snipe. And the people who are good healers can run around healing people. Just a suggestion,†someone spoke up. Yes, that is what I was trying to say. But what the child had said still stung me, I knew enough about this war to know that children should not be placed on the front line without good reason.
“We can’t just throw kids out there with the rest of us and expect them to fight as adults. They have to be the back force, where fighting will be less, we can’t expect them to sit back and watch but they can’t expect that we will let them throw their lives out,” I said, “I also think there’s more than just the Force, sniping, and healing that lies within these walls. Maybe I haven’t bgeen here long but there has got to be more than the obvious. ‘Little talents that never meant anything can save thousands’, it’s what my father said when we trained. Maybe we should look into that too.”

“Hm.” I was truly puzzled by this. Then Rachel spoke up.
“Sophia and I could pretend to be bunnies, since we’re small,” she said. “We could wear pink colored contacts or something, and we could wear suits. Then we could go out there and get rid of them!”
“It’s now or never,” Aggie was saying.
“What was that?” I asked.
“The kids should go out there and fight,” she said solemnly. “They need to boost their training skills, since they’re going to be the ones carrying out our work!”
She had a point there. “Okay, so they should fight,” I agreed. “But, the fact remains that while some – say, Padme and Zena – are old enough to fight, some of them aren’t.” I looked meaningfully at Rachel and Sophia.
Connor piped up. “They can pretend to be bunnies. They could also pretend to have captured someone – say, Zena -” he cut off Zena as she opened her mouth “- and then, when Zena ‘escapes’, they kick butt. Think of it as the ‘Chewie’ plan.”

I had been sitting quietly since my suggestion. Now I spoke up again. “Look, I really think that we shouldn’t be holding back for complete safety. I think this for a few reasons: we can’t outnumber the ground bunnies, no matter how many robots we have; we can’t outshoot or outrun the Wolfens without the Arwings; and my father once said, ‘There’s no such thing as no risk.’ We HAVE to fight, and I, for one, am GOING to fight.”

“There’s no such thing as risk” apparently our father’s had been different.
“There is most definetly such a thing as risk!” I said, or rather, shouted, I took a breath before I continued “Sure, we’ve got to give it our all. But we still have to be carful, if we all die then who’s gonna finish what we started? The world will be overrun by bunnies…” I trailed off thinking about what that would mean. The forests would be cut down, the people- my people- would be found. No one would know what to do! “There’s people out there… that… they… there’s people who have no idea what’s happening! People who’ve been in hiding, they wouldn’t have a fighting chance if the bunnies won! We CANNOT just run out there and start killing, we need to have a backup plan, in case it doesn’t go the way we want.”
How had I gotten into this mess? What would I be doing if I were home? Building another hut, fishing, playing with the toddlers. Not worrying about bunnies except for the commen hare I was going to eat for lunch.

((Yikes, this is confusing. I take it that everyone is in the meeting and objecting to every plan. Almost. In any case, we have to make a resolution soon, or the bunnies will invade! And judging by Syara’s last post, one of them (like Xeer) has actually gotten inside! Unless that was just a memory. Oh, and Groundhog is a GIRL))
KITTYMINE
“Groundhog’s suggestion to use people’s strengths is a good one,” said I, concurring with the general view of the room’s occupants. “But the other ideas aren’t all bad. What we could do is bring on all of the ideas in waves- the bunnies won’t know what’s coming next, if at all. I don’t think we need to evacuate anyone- that’s a waste of a person,” I added, turning to talk to Syara. Except that she wasn’t there anymore. She wasn’t in the room at all.
“Did anyone see where Syara went?” I asked, a bit aprehensive.

((yeah it was/is. Thanks for telling me Groundhog’s a girl. Sorry Groundhog!So we should probably make a desition on the whole battle thing too))
“Does anyone know where Syara went?” asked Kittymine. ((I think I’ll go look for her if no one objects, don’t feel like fighting or planning a fight right now))
I looked around with the rest, there were several grumbles of “She was here a moment ago,” and “Who?”. I was getting sick of trying to plan this battle and didn’t think I could be of much use to a battle anyways. I was jsut in my first real technology skirmish and didn’t think I could do anything worse than that at the moment.
I vollenteered, “I can look for her!” No one objected so I left the room, hoping she wouldn’t be far gone.

“I’ll go as well.” I said to YodaShmoda. “The Base is huge, and she could have gone anywhere.” Both of us walked out the door. I went one way, and she went the other.
As I headed down the long corridor, I saw a crumpled figure lying on the floor at the end of it. I rushed over and discovered that it was Syara. “Hey!” I called to YodaShmoda, who was still in sight. “She’s right here!” I looked at Syara again, wondering what could have knocked her out. My question was answered a few moments later when a robot came and attempted to knock me out as well. I sliced the thing in two with my lightsaber, but the fact that the robots were turning homicidal was worrisome. I pulled out my minicomputer and looked at the instruction log for the robots. Someone had hacked into the Base’s systems and programmed the robots to attack everyone. “Bunnies…” I growled. Those little pink creeps had distracted us with an impending attack so that they could program our own systems to kill us! I quickly put up an absolute firewall around the Base’s systems–okay, it meant that we couldn’t do much ourselves, but as long as the bunnies couldn’t do anything, it would have to do. Then I deprogrammed the robots. I half-dragged Syara back to the meeting room, trying to get her into a chair as gently as possible. “Bunnies.” I replied to everyone’s questioning looks. “They hacked into the Base’s systems and programmed the robots to hurt everyone. I’ve fixed it for now, but it’ll need something a little more permanent after this. They were just distracting us with this whole siege thing so that they could hack in without anyone noticing.” I looked around. “I don’t know about anyone else, but it seems to me that the longer we wait, the worse things are going to get. We need to do something, and fast.”

“I agree with ZVX,” commented Pluvia, “but we should keep the shuttle shields up and wear suits just so that they dont bunnify anybody in a desperate attempt to get a final revenge.”
“Yeah,” said Silvia. “I dont want to end up as half-bunnified. That would be even worse than hypnotized.”
“I think we should surprise them,” Padme put in. “Come out when It’s unexpected, like pretend to retreat and then 30 seconds later burst out into action.” “I like that plan,” said Pluvia. “But we have to prepare for anything. I mean ANYTHING. Always expect the unexpected, that’s our motto.”

Groundhog and YodaShmoda left, then about ten minutes later Groundhog came back and she looked very stressed. “Bunnies.”
“Cake,” I muttered.
“They hacked into the Base’s systems and programmed the robots to hurt everyone. I’ve fixed it for now, but it’ll need something a little more permanent after this.

“Do we need to fight?” I asked.

“Maybe.” I replied. “At the very least, we need to strengthen the security around here, which hasn’t been upgraded since the last war. But yes, I think we do need to go on the offensive, whether that means going out there and fighting, or if it means sending out the robots.”

Cake. I was going to go look for Syara, find her, and come back when it was too late to go and fight. Now it looked like I would have to help.
“Groundhog’s right! We need to get moving and do it quickly. Offence and defence is our best bet. That would mean killing the bunnies and their… their…” I had no idea what they had done to the metal plated thing that had attacked Groundhog. Untill recently I had lived without blasters, pods, and metal-humans. I had lived without bunnies. “Well what ever they did!” I looked down at the blaster still tucked into my belt. I knew I could use it, and right now that’s what they would need. “I can shoot, but that’s about it. I can also follow orders, so a simple task would be fine for me too.” Now that I was here I wished I could do more than just the simple tasks.
I was with the Resistance though, and I would help to save others- what ever that meant.

AGGIE:
I drew my lightsaber from my black suit, the blue light flashing around the small room.
“We need to get troops out there now, whatever that may mean for our security. I’m ready to fight. It seems we’ve reached an agreement: robots and whatever tropps we have to blast the music and fight. We’ll need an air force and a first ground wave to kill bunnies who are hacking the most immediately into the base. This is ouronly hope to rotect ourselves, and we need to act now. Let’s divide, and let’s go.”
I turned my head to look around the room, a small fire blazing behind my blue eyes. It was time to stand up for my family, and for my friends. “I’ll lead the small ground force.

((415- see post 383.
Summary from 383:
We have come to the conclusion that to get rid of the bunnies currently beseiging us, we will play the 3/4 time music, shoot the torpedoes, fly out in attack shuttles, and do some sniping or hand-to-hand fighting if that is you style. Basically, we are in for a big mess! Groundhog also discovered that the bunnies distracted us with their presence so that they could hack in and make all of the robots try to kill us. Groundhog fixed that for the time being.))
PADME
“Right.†said ZVX decisively. “Turn on the music, we fly out in attack shuttles and take out the army. Simple and effective.â€
His lightsaber blade slid out, as did mine. Just then Groundhog and YodaShmoda walked in, carrying an unconscious Syara.
“Bunnies,†explained Groundhog. “They hacked into the Base’s systems and programmed the robots to hurt everyone. I’ve fixed it for now, but it’ll need something a little more permanent after this. They were just distracting us with this whole siege thing so that they could hack in without anyone noticing.â€
“Great,” said Kittymine sarcastically.
“We need to strengthen the security around here, which hasn’t been upgraded since the last war.” stated Groundhog, reminding us that putting up a firewall doesn’t fix thing permanently.
“I’ll do it,†volunteered Kokonilly. “Upgrade the security. Rach and Soph can help. And I think we should also send out the robots.â€
“Um, Nilly, the robots are the problem. That’s what the bunnies hacked,” said Pulvia.
“Okay, enough chatter- let’s get out of here already!” said ZVX with slight exasperation. “All of those who know how to fly, get an Arwing and fly it. Those who can use the Force, get out there and do your thing. Those who just want to fight bunnies hand to hand, be my guest, but try not to kill yourselves or get bunnified. We’ll need healers on hand too. And Groundhog, get that music going and prime the torpedos!” We all split. I saw Mom heading for the hangar- evidently she could fly.
“Padme! Come here a second!” called Groundhog from the other side of the room. I walked over to her.
“What is it?”
“I never got around to telling you, since you were attacked by Tarnug and all, but after this battle is over, you’ll be having your first student.” I looked at Groundhog, completely baffled.

“I’ll lead the small ground force. Whoever wants to follow me should proceed into the main chamber. We can outfit you with weapons.” I turned to ZVX. “Now is your time to lead. Do your stuff,” I said, and smiled slighty. He nodded blankly back, returning the small smile with what looked to be half a grimace.
“Be careful, Lieutenant,” he said, and then turned back to the group. “I will lead the air force. I need pilots, and good shots.”
“Whichever field you feel to be your strongest is the one you should go with,” said Groundhog, mostly to the kids. “Those of you that did well in lightsaber and blaster training should go with Aggie. If you feel you’re up to the fighter-pilot postition, follow ZVX. We will need a small team of good technicians to get modified systems up and running. Let’s do this, people.”

“I’ll go fix the robots so that they are fit to send out.” I turned on my heels and walked out, Rachel and Sophia trotting behind me. I pulled out my laptop when outside and began hacking into the bunnies’ systems, sitting cross-legged. Rachel or Sophia pointed out mistakes as they sat next to me and also guarded the area, watching for intruders.

I walked over to a bank of computers and turned on the external speakers. Then I brought up a playlist of all the music we had that was in 3/4 time and pressed play. Then I walked into the weapons room, where I found Jenny looking around curiously. “Jenny!” I said. “What are you doing in here?” “A robot chased me in here.” she said. “So I hid.” I thought for a moment. Jenny had always been a pretty good shot… “Okay, Jenny? I’ve got a job for you.” I said. “I’m going to set up this computer here with a video from the cameras outside. There are a bunch of bunny submarines out there trying to get us. What you need to do is use the mouse to aim and shoot at them, okay?” “Okay!” Jenny said excitedly. “Mom? Where are you going?” she asked me. “I’m going outside to get rid of the bunnies.” I replied. “Will you come back?” she asked in a very small voice. “I certainly intend to.” I replied. “And your hitting the bunny submarines will help a lot.” “Okay.” Jenny said, sounding a bit more subdued. I gave her a hug before I left.
I followed Aggie to the airlock, hoping that I would come back in one piece. For Jenny’s sake, at the very least.
JENNY:
I watched Mom leave, wondering if I’d ever see her again. Then I turned back to the computer screen. There were tons of bunny submarines on it! I aimed with the mouse and fired. I saw a big rocket-thing shoot out at the submarine that I’d clicked on. It hit, and the submarine exploded. This was really easy! It didn’t even try to move out of the way! The only thing it did was jiggle around a little bit! I shot at more submarines, trying to get rid of all of the ones on the screen. When I finally got rid of all of them, the screen changed to show me more bunny submarines. I guessed that there were so many that they couldn’t all fit into the screen at once.

I decide to be a fighter pilot and follow ZVX. I took flying lessons in college, and can now pilot most aircraft. I also think shooting bunnies from above would be easier than fighting them face-to-face with a light saber, at least for me.
“Mommy, can I come?” asks Sam.
“No, Sam,” I tell him. “It’s safer in the base.”
“Please? I’ll be good!”
I am reminded of a scene from Warriors: The Sight, a book in what was my favorite series before nearly all books were destroyed. In it, three kittens were begging to go out and help fight badgers. And their father said…
“Sam, you’re needed in the base. The bunnies might break in, and you’ll be needed to fight them if they do. Go to the technicians, they’ll give you something to do. But be prepared for an invasion of the building.”
“Awesome!” he says, and scurries off to the technicians.
Of course, I just told him that so he’d think he was fighting them. They won’t really break into the base. I hope.
I go to the shuttle landing area with the others and get in a shuttle. I quickly figure out what each control is for: height, speed, direction, and several firing options. “Start flying. Circle over the base and shoot as many bunnies as you can. Try not to hit humans,” says someone’s voice in my helmet. We fly into the air and circle over the base, where bunnies are waiting. They look up when they hear the engines of the shuttles, but we have the advantage of the element of surprise. We start shooting them.

I finished up with the robots and send them out to do battle, fully equipped. Then, I pretend to be captured by 2 bunnies (aka Rachel and Sophia) and we head out into a smallish sea of pink after Aggie.

412) Not a dream.
When I wake up, I’m in a large, empty room. Then I remember what happened. Someone must have found me in the hall. From the sounds outside, I here that the battle has already started. “Cake !” I mutter and run to the door, drawing my lightsaber. The door is locked. My lightsaber rebounds from the coated surface, sending a jolt through me. Someone must have closed the door and accidentally locked me in. But I can still use the communicator to call for help. There will surely be someone in the base who can be spared to unlock the room. I draw the device and look at the screen. No signal. I sit down and try to asses the situation. Im in the meeting room and the door- wait a minute ! The meeting room door locks from the inside, to prevent exactly this scenario from happening. It could only be locked from the outside if someone hacked into the computer system and reversed the data flow. And the only way my communicator could have no signal right next to the server is if the server was shut off. Was this some sort of trap the ensnare the council members ? No, it was to carefully planed. If someone could hack the system without it being noticed and fixed, there was more to it than trapping some stragglers. This trap had been set solely for me-the only adult fighter who wasn’t busy outside. At the thought of the kids being hurt, I quickly stood up. To quickly. My head throbbed and i was forced to sit down again. I gently touched the back of my scalp and winced. By the feel of it, someone had simply grabbed a piece of scrap pipe and hit me with it. But who ? A robot would have used a stun-gun, a HPB would have bunnifyed me. The dent had been made by someone unconventional- Xeer ! He must be inside the base ! He must have been hiding in the corridors were I had so carelessly walked. He needed to stop me from seeing the HPBs inside, so he knocked me out and framed the robots. The resistance went out to fight, assuming that the plot was foiled, while he waited for the right moment to strike. The bunnies must have moved the radio´s onto one of their senders, so that they could cut all communication from the base and fake messages. Now Xeer had simply locked all the doors in base- by the time I got out, there would be no-one left. I had to do something ! Then, suddenly I had an idea. I stacked three chairs on top of each other and cut off a section of the ceiling- there it was ! Thankfully the resistance felt the strong need for fresh air so that the ventilation shaft was wide enough for me to squeeze in. If I survive this, I vowed, I would go running every day and never eat more than one slice of chocolate cake. I crawled towards the direction of the technicians (hopefully).
((Where are all the kids ??? Is anyone else inside the building (besides the kids, Xeer and some HBPs)???))

((I didn’t think that there were any HPBs in the building. But Xeer alone could be- it goes with your post and is very much his style. Yes, there are some people still in the building who are technicians. Jenny, for one- but she’s shooting submarines.))
((427- ZVX is commanding a group of people (including William II and Rainbowstar) who can both fly and shoot. Aggie is commanding a group of people who can fight well on the ground- Force users, blaster people, and the like. Kokonilly, Rachel, and Sophia were hacking into the bunny system. Kokonilly is now “hostage” by two small “bunnies”. Groundhog put on the music before heading out after Aggie and Jenny is shooting the bunny submarines with torpedoes. The battle has begun))
PADME
“What do you mean?” I asked, looking at Groundhog curiously.
“Well, I found out a little while ago that Jenny is a Force user. She’ll need training. Technically I could ask Kokonilly, since she trained you, but I think Jenny would do better if you trained her.”
“But I’m not a full Jedi! I haven’t finished learning everything!”
“You’re good enough to start her off- and you could work on your stuff too, you know. Anyway, I have to go- I need to get those torpedos going and then join Aggie’s group. I assume that’s where you’re going?”
“Yes.”
Groundhog left the room. I walked over to Aggie who was handing out Bunny-Proof suits and weapons, for those who didn’t have any yet (not many).
“Groundhog’s coming- she just had to do something,” I told Aggie as she handed me a suit. I slipped it on and took out my lightsaber. Just then Groundhog showed up, wearing her own Bunny-Proof suit.
“Okay guys! Let’s get this done. Basically, shoot everything pink and keep you helmets sealed . That way you will be protected from black bunny and HPB eyes. And do try not to get captured. Let’s go!”
We walked out of the room and headed for a side entrance. My stomach was fluttering a bit- okay, a lot. I tried to relax, but that’s kinda difficult to do when you’re about to fight hundreds of bunnies.

I boarded an Arwing, strapping myself into the pilot’s seat. I ran a systems check and then gunned the engines, lifting off. A voice crackled in my ear.
“Start flying. Circle over the base and shoot as many bunnies as you can. Try not to hit humans.â€
I nodded to myself, beginning to shoot at the sea of pink. As I shot, I looked around a bit. To my left I noticed a group of ground fighters, lightsabers flashing. I sighed, knowing that Padme was out there. But I knew she’d be fine- she was tough and good with the Force. I turned my attention back to the front in time to shoot down a bunny craft. It fell to the ground, flaming, crushing more HPBs.
“Score!” I whispered ecstatically.
“Good shot.” said a soft voice in my helmet- the same voice that had told me where to shoot.
“Thanks,” I replied, not sure if I would get an answer. I did.
“You welcome,” said the voice. “You really are a great pilot- one of the best.” I smiled- I liked this voice.
“If you relax, you’ll be able to shoot better,” suggested the voice. A warning light flared brightly in the back of my mind at those last words. I tossed my helmet off in horror. I knew that voice, all too well. Xeer. He had hacked into the system somehow, despite Groundhog’s firewall, and was acting as the automated voice. But the only way he could really do that would be if… if he was inside the Base! Fear flooded me at that realization and a second one made the bottom of my stomach drop.
Xeer was trying to hypnotize us while we flew and I couldn’t tell the others because Xeer was in control of communications! There was nothing I could do. All I could do was pray that the others had their warning lights up at the first suggestion.

((434 – Uuuuh… no. See 424 – what the bunnies did was hack in and program the robots against us. Groundhog’s fixed it for now, I think. I don’t think Xeer’s even in – maybe some bunnies, but not Xeer.))

((434-I think they’re deciding whether to stay inside or fight, and then following whoever.))
I was about to open the door when someone came up behind me. It was Aaron. He put a hand on my shoulder and said firmly, “I’m coming with you.”
I turned to face him. “You know you’re a better fighter pilot than ground battler. We’ve been apart before…It’s time for you to use your skills, no matter where that places you and me.”
His grey eyes softened. “Promise you’ll be all right,” he whispered.
” I promise,” I replied. “I’m a big girl now.” We shared a brief smile, and then Nilly and a few others came up behind us. I motioned for him to go to the hangar. “Take Zavier with you.”
“All right,” he sighed. Then, he gave me a hug. “I love you,” he said.
“I know,” I replied.
“Yechh,” said Zena, who had come up behind us, her smaller blue lightsaber drawn as well. I recognised it as my old one from the old resistance days. Aaron let go and walked off with Zavier at his side. I then turned to Zena.
“Are you ready?”
“More than I’ll ever be.”
I looked at the group.”Quiet and stealthy is our game. Knock them out or dispose of them as quietly as you can until we’re spotted, and then it’s off to the races.”
The robots nodded. “YES-MA’AM.”
I pressed the blue button, and the airlock doors slid open.

437) Xeer is inside the base !
I keep crawling in the ventilation shaft, praying that I’m heading the right direction. Suddenly I hear voices ahead and speed up. Unfortunatly, I’m in the older section of the base- its seems that the techies don’t like fresh air, because the shaft is rusty. Yes, there´s someone talking below me. I sit still and try to listen. My concentrated weight, however, is too much for the old shaft. There’s a sudden crack and the floor disappears. I fall down, but fortunately something soft under me cushions my fall. Correction: Someone. Xeer. It seems that I’ve hit the jackpot: I’m in the control room, and Jenny is standing in the corner, help prisoner by two bright pink robots. I’ve also found Xeer. He’s the thing I landed on, and he’s not pleased to see me. Correction: He draws his lightsaber, bent on hacking me into little bits. I draw mine, and the fight begins. At first the robots want to intervene, but Xeer tells them to stay back. He knows that, in this state, I’m no match for him. The robots are watching intently, ignoring Jenny. I tried to give her some sort of signal, but Xeer won’t give me time to breathe. Things are looking bad for me-and Jenny. I’ve lost terrain – Xeer is following up. My head is spinning and my strokes are wild, random. “I’m going to lose, I’m going to lose.” I keep thinking. There´s nowhere I can run to. Then suddenly there´s a swish and Xeer topples over, a stunned expression on his face. Jenny has managed to steal a gun from one of the robots and shot Xeer in the back. The pink robots turn to Jenny, but i instinctively throw up my hand- lightning shoots from it and strikes the robots, short-circuiting them. “Cake” I think “cake,cake,cake”. That was the very reason that i didn’t admit to having Jedi powers- when i didn’t have time to think, my training took over and I did things strictly prohibited by the code. If Jenny had noticed, she tactfully refused to comment. Instead she walked over to Xeer. “Is he dead ?” she asked in a small voice. “No”, I said, feeling his pulse. “Out cold, I should say. Help me drag him into the empty spare parts room.” Jenny nodded, looking relieved. I could understand how she felt. “Base, base, do you copy ?” called a voice from the speakers. It was Kittymine ! “Kittymine ! Xeer broke into the base ! I took care of him with Jenny’s help, but his pink robots are still here- and I’m sure that there are human helpers here too. We need groundhog to fix the-” Suddenly the computer shut off. HPBs ! They were monitoring our radio ! The entire communication section went dark. I could only hope that Kittymine had heard me and was sending Groundhog. We were sitting ducks, as the shaft was to brittle to allow us to climb back in. So we waited.

((Maybe if Xeer is not in the building, but was still logged into the base’s systems? That way, the firewall wouldn’t have affected him. Then the techies could still have a piece of the action–I’m thinking of something similar to that “Animator vs Animation” series right now…))
As we headed out, I heard a voice come in through my helmet speakers–it sounded sort of like a synthesized pep-talk. That’s strange… I thought. I don’t remember programming these things to talk…! With a jolt of horror, I realized that Xeer must have still been logged into the Base’s systems when I put up the firewall, so he still had access to everything. I quickly turned off my helmet speakers, and then tapped Aggie on the shoulder. “Xeer’s still in the computer system!” I said to her in sign language. “We’ll need to talk this way instead–he’s in the communications feed and he’s trying to hypnotize us all through our radios!”

((Okay, so the robots are all ready to send out, which I think everyone gathered, and I’m out in the field.))
We trudged out of the Base from a secret entrance and waded out into the field of bunnies. “Remember, girls,” I whispered to them, “When I break loose, you start firing randomly at everywhere BUT me. Remember Star Wars?” They nodded.
We waded through the sea, most bunnies admiring the fact that I, a seasoned Rebel, seemed to be captured. The plan was working well.
I broke free of my “bonds” all of sudden. I had been fidgeting for quite a while.
“GGAAAAAAH!” about 50 bunnies cried before they got slashed in half. Rachel and Sophia yelled “AAAAH!” and promptly seemed to try to shoot me but had very bad aim: they were shooting lots and lots of bunnies.

I ran down to the hangar, grabbed a flight suit, and hopped into one of the Arwings, taking off promptly.

Xeer had infiltrated the base! I turned back to Groundhog, and signed, “Who’s still in the base? Where are the technicians?”
“I don’t know, but we can’t signal back to them or Xeer will hear us. We have to tell everyone to take off their radio helmets.”
“Ok,” I signed again, and turned to the others and signed them Groundhog’s message. Everyone turned off their speakers immediately.
“What about the others, in the planes?” I signed to Groundhog.
“There’s no use trying to communicate,’ she replied. “Xeer will drown out our feed. The only way to communicate now is to hope the technicians can get rid of him. He’s like a virus to the system right now, even if he’s not inside.”
Then, hordes of bunnies came spilling out of nowhere, all armed and ready to kill. Groundhog and I sprang into acion.

Then, a message came. “Take off your radio helmets. Xeer has infiltrated the base.”
I turned to the girls. “Time to go.” I picked them up so they could still fire behind me, and I ran back to the base, using my lightsaber to deflect the bolts behind my back. (I’m not sure how, since I was holding the girls with both arms. I may have levitated it.)
We arrived at the base. “What happened?” I asked. “I thought the bunnies were flushed out of the system! I did it myself!”

((445 – technically, Xeer is still in the computer system even though the firewall’s in place.))
I shot down as many bunnies as I could while dodging and barrel rolling. Then someone said over the ship-to-ship com, “What’s that little black thing down there?” ((I’m just going to go with the fact that the ship radios are likely on a different frequency thingy and Xeer doesn’t know what it is.))
I turned and looked. Down on the outskirts of the battle was a black creature. I instantly recognized his black-and-red fur and felt a surge of relief. I flicked on teh radio and said, “That’s an old friend of mine… Shadow the Hedgehog!”

“If you relax, you’ll be able to shoot better,” says the voice in my helmet. Who is it? It doesn’t sound like any of the others. Maybe it’s one of the technicians, watching from below and giving us tips.
“Where should I shoot?” I ask. “To kill more bunnies, I mean.”
“”Just relax,” says the pleasant voice. “Breathe deeply.”
Suddenly, all I can see is hot pink. A heavy pink fog is filling my helmet, making it hard to breathe…
I am back in my house, having just picked Sam up from preschool, and am now cooking dinner while he colors at the dining table. My husband, John, comes through the door, home from work. He looks frightened. “Rainbowstar!” he says. “Don’t listen to the voice! It’s -” He is drowned out by the calm voice I heard in my helmet. “Stay calm, you’re doing just great. Trust me. Forget them, I know best…” As he speaks, John, Sam, and the house fade away, until I am surrounded by hot pink fog and that soothing voice.
My eyes snap open, but everything is still hot pink. I yank off my helmet and gasp for air, thinking clearly again. Suddenly, I realize my plane is plummeting toward the ground! I turn it steeply upward, missing the ground by barely a yard.
I’ve got to warn the others about this, I think. That voice almost killed me. I put the helmet back on, but the choking pink fog pours back in and the voice starts again. “Clear your mind. Let me take control…” I struggle to resist the calming effect. “DON’T LISTEN! HE’S TRYING TO KILL US!” I shout, not knowing if anyone can hear me. “They can’t,” says the voice, as if reading my thoughts. “But they are not your friends anymore. I am your friend. Follow me.”
I pull the helmet off in terror. Someone has infiltrated the systems. And there’s no way to warn the others.

I gave an inner sigh of relief as Kokonilly and the girls arrived. “What happened ? I thought the HPBs were flushed out of the system ! I did it myself !” she asked. “The HPBs were out but Xeer wasn’t. He was physically hiding in the base. Xeer virused the computers as soon as the HBPs were ousted. He also smuggled some pink robots in- they look like giant spiders with weapons. Jenny helped me take Xeer out, but his robots are still here. I managed to reboot the computer, but the airwave terminal & feeds are completely shot. We lost all our cameras, our radios… Xeer also erased the memory, so we have neither records nor a battle plan. All the devices that depended on the main terminal are ruined by the virus. The computer tried to self-destruct as well. At the moment, it’s about as useful as calculator in a sandstorm.” Kokonilly looked shocked : “So you mean that…” “Everyone is on their own.” I finished. “Unless you can figure out some program that can withstand the virus and the HPBs combined.” Kokonilly looked thoughtful, but desperate: “If I had time, maybe but out of the blue ?” I sighed: “All our computer-controlled weapons are gone. The only way to stop people from getting in is a complete seal-off. But then we can’t withdraw our troops if things go badly.” I looked at Kokonilly, wanting to know her opinion.

((446- Shadow…the Hedgehog? HUH? *confusion*))
I swung my lightsaber in frustration at the bunnies, knocking one after another to the ground. I couldn’t concentrate. I was too worried about my friends and family…Then, I remembered.
“Oh, no,” I whispered to myself. “Aaron’s going to be bunnified, and it’s all my fault…”
A shrill squeak of triumph came from above me as helibunnies swooped from the sky. I was hit twice by blaster shots, burns tearing up my shoulder. I yelped in pain.

((449 – PLEASE tell me you know Sonic/Shadow the Hedgehog.))
As I flew, something felt wrong. “Why is everyone suddenly so quiet?” Then it hit me – he was trying to bunnify us all and destroy us from the inside. My mind raced as I tried to think up something. Whenever Xeer tries to bunnify someone, he tells them to relax. The only way to stop him… was to catch him off-guard.
I switched tactics. Instead of shooting any bunnies I could, I went on defensive and only barrel rolled. As my hands independently worked the controls, I reached out with my mind, trying to find Xeer. I found him somewhere in the base. Calm, I told myself. Let go of everything.
Xeer noticed me. He was curious as to why someone would be obeying him… but I had to ignore it. Calm…
Xeer was frowning now. Calm…
He was smiling again. It seemed like he thought I was his. Think again, sucker. I stopped calming and rushed forward, hitting him hard. Then I snapped back to reality. I was still alive, and my shields were still up for the most part. I flicked on the communicator and said, “William here. The radios should be fine now.”

“Kittymine ! Xeer broke into the base ! I took care of him with Jenny’s help, but his pink robots are still here- and I’m sure that there are human helpers here too. We need groundhog to fix the-†said Syara’s voice before the speakers got knocked out. Darn. I couldn’t radio her back, and besides, I knew that already. Suddenly a new voice came through the Arwing’s communications.
“William here. The radios should be fine now.†He must have gotten rid of Xeer’s radio voice. I put my helmet back on.
“Guys! Check in!” came ZVX’s harried voice.
“I’m here- alive and not hypnotized,” I replied.
PADME
I was fighting bunnies and losing count of how many I had killed ((Gimli would be ashamed of me)). I killed some black bunnies too, with as much relish as if they were Tarnug. Occasionally I would meet a bunny who had been at the orphanage. A short conversation would ensue:
“Hang on… Padme?” asked the bunny, his eyes wide.
“Yes, me. Goodbye.” I slice the bunny to ribbons.
This happened every once and a while. It was a bit harder with black bunnies, but oh well.

Oh boy, the fight was heating up. I grabbed my blaster from my blet and followed the others as they headed out. I had absolutly no confidence, it was only survival running me now.
Once I saw a bunny I shot at it, not checking to see if it died or not. I didn’t know why some where black and some were pink only that they were both bunnies. I didn’t celebrate when one went down, only turned to kill another.
Some of the airwings randomly corkscrewed and righted again. I didn’t have time to worry about that. All of a sudden one of the airwings is flying towered me. I grunted, throwing myself to the ground, it pulled up but just barly. I was sinded and lay on the ground to catch my breath- bad desition.
Four bunnies were hopping- who could have thought hopping would be creepy?- towered me. I couldn’t reach my blaster and still hadn’t caught my breath- I was dead meat.
When they got close enough I started punching, kicking. My forest trianing came back and at such close range I didn’t have to worry about technology, instead I was back in the trees hand-to-hand combat.
I punched a bunny from the ground, jumping up as I did so. then I kicked another, sending it flying backwards. Suddenly, nothing could stop me. I elbowed one while kicking another.
More and more kept comeing though, and I’d never actualy fought before this. Oh cake.
I was lieing on the ground before I could hit anything. It wasn’t a bunny who had brought me down though, it was a human.
“I’m part of the resistance! Lemmie go!” I screamed, it was muffled by a hand though. I couldn’t open my eyes eaither because the large, callused, hand also covered my eyes. It slowly eased up. I was still pinned to the ground and part of the hand still covered my mouth but now I could see. I screamed. I was looking into the eyes of my brother.
“Stop screaming, Yodie,” he said useing my family-only nickname, “It’s all fine, the bunnies… they think you’re amazing. They want to tell you that. They can…if you look into my eyes” I clamped my eyes shut again and screamed louder than I had before.
“HELP! HELP!” and then tears were streaking down my cheeks, “You’re not my brother, you aren’t” I hadn’t cried like this before, but then again, I’d never been betrayed like this before.

((455 – Yeah, he’s my favorite of the three, so I really wanted to make him a character.))
I looked back down at the battle. It was going well. In addition, Shadow had taken off his rings and was now roaring through the bunnies’ ranks. Suddenly, one of the bunnies behind took a cheap shot at him from behind with a blaster. His golden missile aura flashed out and he flew through the air for a few yards before hitting the ground and rolling to a stop. I felt myself roar out in rage. I had to do something!
I changed course to land. As I approached the ground, I said into the radio, “Someone cover me while I get Shadow!” I shot at a group of bunnies near Shadow to make a clearing, then landed and jumped out. I hacked with my lightsaber to make a small path, grabbed Shadow, and ran back to my Arwing. I closed the cockpit window and put the shields up before looking at Shadow. He didn’t look too injured, but I knew he was probably hurting real bad on the inside, and possibly even dying. I strapped him into the backseat, strapped myself in, and took off.

((WARNING: FAINT HEARTED– DO NOT READ.
I flicked a switch on the dashboard of the Arwing and flew out in a full 360. Bunny ships exploded on all sides, and the blaster cannons started blazing. The bunnies returned fire, but were so preoccupied with the fact that their ships were exploding to keep it up. I stopped the Arwing, picked up a blaster, and fired at a bunny floating in the water, still thrashing. I hit.
I drew my lightsaber, kicked the Arwing back into gear, and rammed into a bunny ship. Our ship was considerably tougher, and bunnies jumped into our ship. The first one, who unfortunately landed on top of me, was dispatched quickly with a kick to the temple. I slashed two more before eight landed in the cockpit. I was hurled against the wall by a blaster, and the bunnies streamed into the rest of the ship. Where some of the kids were…
A scream sounded, and a bunny body sailed out of the door and hit the “Rocket fire” button. Needless to say, deep booms sounded overhead. I sprinted into the compartment, tackled a bunny, and saw two more bodies falling towards me. Bunnies. I leaped out of the way and slashed one, before total silence fell.
“Hi,” said Padme, dropping straight down in front of me. Blood covered her hands, and her lightsaber flashed in the gloom. “We decided that we’d save you the trouble.” The others appeared.
“Where’s YodaShmoda? We need to find him. Now.” I exclaimed. “Quick….oh cake cake cake…..BUNNIES INSIDE THE BASE!!”
I sprinted to the cockpit and flew through the water to the shining platinum gates. The gates were hanging, and bunnies streamed through. Thousands upon thousands of bunnies. A sea of pink. The Arwing crashed into the bunnies, and grenades flew at the bunnies. Explosions rocked the ship. I leaped out followed by the crew, and hacked madly. Spinning, I deflected a blaster shot and sliced through two bunnies in one go. Blood spurted over my arms, but I didn’t notice as I whipped my lightsaber through another one. Sometimes it seemed as if they had me, but another one if the Resistance would rip through again. A bunny stabbed at me with a laser dagger, but caught my cloak and ripped it off. The bunny flew into a storm of blaster fire, guided by the Force.
Then the bunnies stopped.
The reason became apparent. Xeer stalked toward me, surrounded by nine black bunnies. All of them bore red, double ended lightsabers.

((Oh dear…. I have no idea where I am. Well, suppose I might as well take care of Armada…..))
ARMADA:
I worked my way through the battlefield, slashing at bunnies and killing most of them. As I cut one bunny’s head off, though, I suddenly felt something cold and hard press against the back of my head. “Don’t turn around, please,” a voice said.
Oh, cake…..
There was a small ‘wump’, and I sank to the ground. It was only a stun gun, I knew, but I also knew that I was going to be used as a tool by the bunnies, and as I drifted into unconsciousness I almost wished that it was a real blaster. Almost.
((Okay, people, rescue me from the DoH when you get there, or if you’re not there by April I’ll figure out a way to get myself out. Now, how to get rid of Kaye?…..))

I pulled out my palmtop computer again, using it to cut off all of our suits and everything else from the Base’s systems. Then I opened a connection to my house. Surprisingly, the actual house was still intact, although that wasn’t what I was worried about. I opened a feed to the camera in my basement. The secret door in the corner appeared to be intact. I opened another feed to what was behind the door. Also all clear. I sent a command to connect all of our suits and stuff to the computer system behind the secret door. Then I turned my radio back on and sent a command to everyone else’s helmets to turn back on as well. “Okay.” I said. “I’ve got everything connected to a backup system, so we can restore all of our info after we finish beating these things. Xeer won’t be able to get at it, since it’s not at all connected to any of the infected components.” I leapt back into the battle with a will, hoping that we’d actually survive to use the backup.

“We need to seal of the doors.” Jenny said, demonstrating a great capacity to state the obvious. Then I had an idea:”If we can’t stop them from going in, then why don’t we do the opposite ? If we can get everyone out, then lure the HBPs in, we could do an internal blue-rinse. I bet my lightsaber that Xeer kept the self-destruct in working order.” “But how do we know that everyone is outside ?” asked Sophia. That was a hard question. “The infirmary !” I shouted. “Thats it ! Why didn’t I think of it before !” Jenny looked at me as if I was insane, but kokonilly understood. “Everyone who can fight will be outside, except the wounded, who will be in the sickbay. The sickbay´s computers are also on a completely separate system, so that they can continue life-support systems. And they should have a working radio.” Jenny didn’t look convinced, but then again, she’d just seen me use HPB powers. Kokonilly organized our expedition:” Syara and I will go ahead, Jenny will cover the rear with her blaster. Rachel and Sophia will act as lookouts. Everyone okay with that ?” We nodded and then headed towards the sickbay, while Kokonilly filled me in on all the battle plans I´d missed.
(( I need to get captured on dec. 31, because I won’t be able to post for the first week of jan. (=why I’m trying to go outside). If Kokonilly wants, she can stay in the control room and try to fix the computers))

AGGIE:
I was lying on the ground, and everything was very fuzzy. Suddenly, the bunnies standing over me were gone. I lifted my head to see someone above me. It was ZVX, and who he was facing…
Someone from my dreams, my nightmares…black bunnies, with red eyes…
I was too tired to continue. I let myself drop to the ground.
Yes, that’s it, human…You are very sleepy…Rest, Agrrrfishi, never wake up…

ZENA: (warning, slight gore)
I saw my mother collapse to the ground. One of the black bunnies was staring right at her, hypnotizing her…
Killing her?
Anger swept through me. I ran as fast as I could past ZVX, Padme, and the others, ready to run that bunny through.
“Let…her…GO!” I screamed, and struck the first blow. We were taken into mortal combat almost immediately. I swung with my lightsaber faster than I had ever done before. But this bunny wasn’t like the pink ones, he was stronger, quicker, smarter than the rest. With a two-ended lightsaber, it was easy for him to match my blows.
“Foolish spawnling human,” he grunted. “You are unwise to make such rash decisions.”
“Same to you, pucey-tail,” I returned, and made a double kick-flip twist to the lower abdomen. A small gouge appeared in the bunny’s black fur, but there was no blood. The skin burst back over the wounded patch almost the second it had appeared. I stopped for a split second-“What th-“, and th bunny moved like a snake. He jammed one end of the red lightsaber into my lower thigh. I screamed. A thousand red-hot knives were piercing me inside and out, and I fell to the ground, clutching my leg.
“Upgrade,” said the bunny, and then lifted his lightsaber to deliver the final blow.

I see a Resistance member having a gun pressed to the back of her head by a bunny. I swoop down to help, but by the time I’m close enough to see that it’s Armada, she has been shot and sunk to the ground, unmoving. She saved me in the woods. Time to return the favor. I use my laser firing option to draw a circle around her body, hoping a medic will see her. But two large armored bunnies hop up to her, pick her up, and hop away with her into a bunny ship, which flies off into the clouds. Don’t think about it now. There are more lives to save.
I go back to blasting bunnies. But when I get near the base, I notice something. The gates are wide open, and bunnies are streaming into the base. Where Kokonilly and her daughters are. Where Sam is. Not my son, you caking lagamorphs! I shoot as many incoming bunnies as I can, but there are just too many.
Then they stop. I notice a crashed Arwing at the gates, and several Resistance members being approached by a large, armed HPB. He is flanked by nine black bunnies. This can’t be good. I’d go down to help them, but I have no weapons outside of the ship. I shoot at the HPB from above, but miss. He looks up and motions to the black bunnies. They simultaneously fire lasers at me – coming from the other end of their light-sabers, a multipurpose weapon. I duck and roll to avoid them, one of the lasers coming within a foot of the shuttle’s wing. I can’t help them. But I can warn someone. Just as I did with Armada, I circle the whole scenario with my laser. Maybe someone will see and come to help…

I looked back down. Everything had changed in a split second – Xeer and nine other black bunnies had appeared and were absolutely destroying us. There was one idea I had left… one crazy idea… but I would have to put the Arwing on autopilot. Did I dare do that with Shadow dying in the back seat?
I looked at Shadow. He would want me to do whatever I needed to do to stop Xeer. I first flew low to the ground, approaching Xeer. When they saw me, they got their lightsabers ready. I put my hands on three switches – the second before I hit them, I put it on defensive autopilot and ejected. The other 9 bunnies dove out and Xeer began to fight me.

((Okay, um, Syara, I’d prefer to make my on decisions, thank you very much. PPing is starting to seep into BA:TNG… ))
“We need to seal of the doors.†Jenny said.
Syara burst out: â€If we can’t stop them from going in, then why don’t we do the opposite ? If we can get everyone out, then lure the HBPs in, we could do an internal blue-rinse. I bet my lightsaber that Xeer kept the self-destruct in working order.â€
“But how do we know that everyone who can fight is outside?†asked Sophia.
Syarta shouted, “The infirmary! That’s it ! Why didn’t I think of it before!â€
It dawned on me that this might me a good idea. “Everyone who can fight will be outside, except the wounded, who will be in the sickbay. The sickbay’s computers are also on a completely separate system, so that they can continue life-support systems. And they should have a working radio.” It made sense.
“So, someone should go into the sickbay and try to contact the others.” I started forming a plan. “A couple people should guard the doors of the infirmary, so we can shut down the doors. And then someone else should go out and fight the remaining bunnies inside the Base. Rachel and Sophia and I can go out and fight with the captured ploy again,” I said. “Every bunny who saw is is currently dead.”

((Summary? I left because it was becoming too hard to keep up. But if anyone wants to godmod my characters, they can. Philomena and Crystl will return, and they will be in full force. Can someone re-enter them?))
