It’s the end of the world as we know it, and everything is turning the color of Pepto-Bismol. Can the Musers possible prevail against the magenta menace?

“Avalongirl…?” She kept crying. “…Avalongirl…” I nudged her. “Everyone’s here.” She looked up. “Say hello to everyone,” I said gently. “Stop crying.”
((Yay! The GAPAs listened to my request. I’m touched…))
AVALONGIRL:
“Sorry, Kokonilly…” I answered with a weak smile. “I know that was kind of stupid.”
((First 2nd post ever!! Yay!!))
(3)
Your expressions of self-congratulation will be short-lived, foolish biped.
4-((Ooh! Is an attack coming? I love attacks.))
((Just found this- a picture of a bright pink bunny. The caption says:
Cute but evil. Things even out.
Strange…))
“It was kind of stupid… but now everyone’s here.” I stood up, or tried to. Sitting down on the bed, I said, “What’s going on? Why are we all here?”
((kokonilly- I think my idea was 39…something on the part 3. Basicly, I said that if the bunnys are bringing in inter-gaxial reinforements, then why cant we? that might take a while so groundhog suggested we infiltrate the bunnies with spies so we have info for when the other resistace figters show up. and an idea that just came to me- we could each be a human resistance fighter and a alian resistance fighter, or the alian ones could just be written in 3rd person. how does that sound?)) “sure groundhog! but I think I will need CTN and it’s ((no offence ment by this, it’s just I cant tell with titans))friend since they have more advanced communications than we do. what planets should I contact first?”
AVALONGIRL:
“Who knows? I’d say Mars and Saturn.” I answered. “How are we going to contact them, though? It’s not like we have satellites, or anything… ”
I whispered to Kokonilly. “You know, right now we’re BOTH really useless…”
SERAFINA:
“Pluto!” I chimed in cheerfully.
“You know, Serafina, for someone who was just captured by the bunnies, you seem weirdly happy…” ZVX muttered.
I proceeded to ignore him.
((Where are you guys right now? I want to return, and I’ll need to know where we stand.))
10-((WHERE THE MUFFINS DID YOU GO??!!
Well, we…
READ THREAD 3. PLEASE.))
Baylee saw a odd robot coming towards and shoved away, but right when she touched it, she landed with a thump it the lab. She brushed herself off and got up. She listened to the conversation intently, than piped up, “I’ve got a tracker!” someone said “How’s that going to work? It only tracks specific people,” everyone got back to talking. “But you can put in the search engine “resistance” and almost every single person, or thing, part of the resistance is shown. The problem is, we don’t know which ones are hypnotized,” everyone stared, “I made it a few months ago, never thought it would be useful, except for frying pizza.”
“I’m not useless!” I yelled, standing up and immediately collapsing. “Ignore that, please…”
YEAH! thanks for the thread GAPAs!!!!!!
“Frying pizza? I could use some of that…”
AVALONGIRL:
“I didn’t say you were useless,” I answered very slowly (like I was speaking to a small child.) “I said right now we can’t really do anything. Which means we’re both really useless.”
And was shot dirty looks.
SERAFINA:
“You know, Serafina, for someone who was just captured by the bunnies, you seem weirdly happy…” AvalonGirl muttered. I shot her a dirty look. “How about Mercury and Venus? Uranus? Neptune?” I chatter hyperly.
“You know Serafina, you are strangely happy. It seems like you wouldn’t be,” I said, repeating myself. “Groundhog? Do you think…?”
((11- Okay! *heads off to read*))
“Well, I think so…”
19-((I couldn’t explain it. Just send your character in once you finish reading.))
SERAFINA:
“What?” I said happily and hyperly. “What do you think, Bookworm?”
“You have a strange apparent sugar rush, that’s what I think.” AvalonGirl said.
AVALONGIRL:
“And what’s more, I do think, Bookworm. She did black out…” I let the sentence trail off at that.
“Thanks, earthgirl.” I replied. “That’ll help us in a major way. I think you should tak to CTN to see which planets are inhabited in the first place, and then decide which ones to contact.”
There seemed to be some confusion as to what was going on, so I explained. “There are two things going on right now. We’re probably going to…” I heard Serafina chattering hyperly. That was strange. “Groundhog? Do you think…?” ZVX asked me. “Yes, I do think so.” I replied. I wrote down our two objectives (faked defeat and recruiting people from other planets) on a piece of paper and handed it to ZVX. “Can the rest of you guys make some plans?†I asked. “I think I need Serafina in the psych room–Serafina? Can you come down to the psych room with me?†I asked her.
((Oops! To clarify: post 20 was by ME, not some random Muser named Lady Elle Mostly Harmless Serafina Lyra Avalon Myst Silvertongue Museical the 3rd who has a ridiculously long name…))
((Sorry!))
SERAFINA:
“Why, groundhog? But sure!!!” I reply very hyperly and cheerfully.
((It’s going to take me awhile to read the previous threads, but once that’s done I’d love to join. :)))
((-24 It would be great for you to join!))
“Right. Planning. First, I think it would be helpful to have a map of the fortress of William. Now if the hard drive on my laptop hasn’t crashed by now, I had a copy filed somewhere on here…”
I flicked through the “My Documents” folder. Nothing. Well, I hadn’t put it in there anyway, but I’d have to remember the password to the encrypted file. Maybe….ResisTance….PereGRiNe….PieRocks!…Bunnies are idiots…no, maybe….ResIStAnce? I opened the encrypted file wizard. I tried all the passwords, then I remebered my customary password: !@#$%^&*() also known as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0. I entered it and–
An icon flashed under the password box. Correct password and Username. I held my breath as the computer processed this, then loaded the file, finally opening it in Adobe Reader. Slick. I gave the computer a pat, which nearly knocked the hard drive back into failure, but it held on.
“OK guys, here it is. This is the entrance:” I took out a laser and pointed at a black tube entering the fortress. “And this, is our target.”
AVALONGIRL:
“How’ll we get in there?” I asked ZVX. “You were in the bunny fortress, did you see it? And there’s no point is asking Serafina…” I said, nodding towards the open door.
I propped myself up with a stick and said, “I can fake the defeat.”
Everyone stared. “I can go into the bunny fortress – I know where it is – and say, ‘The resistance has lost.’ Or something like that.”
AVALONGIRL:
“How do you know?” I asked. “How can we know they’re going to believe you? I was bunnified-what if they bunnify you?”
Then I had a thought.
“Ok. Who here has been controlled by the bunnies? We can go in as a task force, say we destroyed the resistance, let the others sneak in…”
I sighed. “I’ve already been hypnotized by the black bunny and bunnified.” I raised my hand, wobbled, and put it down.
I stared incredulously at her. “SINCE WHEN WERE YOU PREVIOUSLY BUNNIFIED??!!” I yelled.
Then I looked at everyone else. “As soon as me and Kokonilly recover-look, I heal really fast-we can try my plan.”
((30 – AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Alter Ego Alert!!!))
“Well, you couldn’t exactly call it BUNNIFIED, but… at one point when I threw up, it was hot-pink. I would call that ominous,” I amended. “But I fixed it when I looked into the light that was SUPPOSED to bunnify us, but actually fixed my bunny problem.”
((What? Did someone want to see me?))
“I suppose you can try to contact the red planet and the red bunnies.” I said. “I’m not sure about the others.”
“O-ok…that IS ominous…and weird…” I answered. “Seeing as I was somewhere else, don’t ask me. How’s my plan?”
I stood up. “I told you I heal fast,” I grinned.
“Is the red planet Mars?” I asked. CTN nodded. I turned to Avalongirl just to see her stand up. I tried to stand up, but my legs were shaking. “I may need a cane.”
“O-ok…that IS ominous…and weird…†I answered. “Seeing as I was somewhere else, don’t ask me. How’s my plan?â€
I stood up. “I told you I heal fast,†I grinned.
“Are you sure you’re fully healed?”
((I have a bad feeling about this.))
((About what?))
((All these people who think they’ve completely recovered from their brushes with bunnification.))
((You’re right! Bunnification Relapses!))
((once bunnified, stays bunnified. Or, atleast part bunnified…))
Baylee looked at her useless tracker and threw it into the corner. They already had the plan figured out. “Kokonilly, are you sure your strong enough to do it?” she asked. “You can barely stand.”
((can I have a riddle?))
((Well, I don’t wanna be bunnified again…I’ll just have it be hypnotism! REALLY STRONG hypnotism!))
“Fairly. I can at least walk. It’s slightly painful, but I’ll be ok.”
((A new kind of hypnotism that takes control of my body (I can still speak) when I’m exposed to William. If the speaking is too easy, though, I don’t have to speak…))
((Can I be of any assistance?))
((Brendan, not here. Go somewhere else.))
((-46 well, he IS supposed to be able to get brain points on here…))
“Well, as to getting in, I suggest we blast the top of the fortress. Create a distraction, and hopefully we could slip in unnoticed. The thing is, I’m going to have to pull resistance forces out of other places. We lost IBCF, so there’s only ten of us. Maybe Agrrrfishi? S/He’s always reliable, though of course we then leave France an unguarded territory, but it’s a small price to pay. Also, if we could start recruiting for the battle operation, that would be excellent. The bunnies have thousands at their commands, but we have better fighters. The Resistance shall stay strong. Now, a vote! All in favor of Agrrrfishi helping if S/He agrees, say w00t!”
I shrugged. “I’ll make an excuse. I’ll get my strength back eventually… won’t I?”
((47-I’m a she, by the way. Grrrl power!))
I spoke up in favor of my election to the team. “I’m a very strong fighter, and can be of real assistance. I have experience in medicines and healing, so if anyone gets injured, I could be there to help! I’m a huge supporter of the resistance. These bunnies aren’t destroying us if I have anything to say about it!” I smiled widely around, hoping that I would be able to join into the resistance.
“Hi, Agrrrfishi! w00t!” I grinned.
“Yay! That’s a yes!” I cried, and gave Kokonilly a wide high-five.
47- “I beg to differ, but the last time I checked, I wasn’t lost. Or did I get lost and not know it?” *makes sure he is all there* “Nope, I seem to be all there. Not lost.”
“Hey Agrrrfishi! w00t! Welcome to th-IBCF!” I exclaimed, squealing. “You’re alright!”
((Agrrrfishi, my plan was to have all the previously bunnified fighters get into the bunny fortress, making William think the resistance had been defeated, and let the other fighters in to destroy bunnies.))
Everything was working perfectly. William had sent me to spy on the resistance. He didn’t know that I had been spying on thebunnies and was now going to report my findings to the resistance. The bunnies believed I was still possessed from my encounter with the black bunny in the tunnel, and I had been able to gather information for a while now. Now I just need to find them, I thought. I slowed the bunny assault skiff they had let me use as a message from William came in.
“We are sending you the coordinates of where the resistance was last sighted. We will contact you as necessary.â€â€œThank you, your magentaness.â€
“Watch yourself, human. If you weren’t so valuable, I would have had you killed a long time ago.â€â€œAs you wish.†I ended the transmission and examined the coordinates. I kicked my skiff into gear and headed off.
About an hour later, I walked in on a resistance meeting. “Hello!†I called out, taking a moment to enjoy the surprise on everyone’s face.
The door opened. “TGYPWYA!!!” I screamed. Then I explained. Again.
“My plan is to have all the previously bunnified fighters get into the bunny fortress, making William think the resistance had been defeated, and let the other fighters in to destroy bunnies.” I stated.
“Hi, TGYPWYA!” I grinned. “My, this is quite a party now, isn’t it?”
TEE325:
“Hi, TGYPWYA!” I smiled. “Did you see my friend? I’m afraid I can’t find her anywhere…”
TTP336:
?
((Aw, I forgot to close off one of my italics and it screwed the whole thing up. Oh well, it’s no big deal.))
“Wait, if that’s the plan, I think I can help.” I explained, “You see, William sent me here to spy on you. But I’ve been spying on him. I could send a message to William and tell him that everyone’s dead, and I’ve captured the few survivors. Then I’ll take a few of us into the fortress, where the “captives” will “break loose” and open the gates for the rest of the resistance. Then we kill them.”
(( (58) Is that better or worse? ))
“I’ll be a survivor!” I yelled enthusiastically. Everyone stared. “Well, I’m wounded, and I’m a decent actress.”
((In real life, I’m terrible at any kind of art. Painting? Blah. Dancing? Definitely not. Singing?
No way.))
i enter the meeting thing. “hello kokonilly! something happened to me on the sub. i have no idea what i have done seince then exept for rescue a few people out of a jail. i think the bunnies mught have imperiused me. if you have seen me dooing anything odd seince then it was probably them. i have no memory of how i got here. can someone tell me what’s going on?”i said
“Maybe you could say we turned on you and attacked you; then you could tell the bunnies that you finally saw you were on the losing side and that you’d much rather be with organized, handsome bunnies than with a rabble of stupid humans. That sounds convincing enough.” I said, addressing Kokonilly. “Maybe we were displeased with service or….oh something tragic and flattering.”
“But back to plans! Agrrrfishi, we have enough open positions for you. Medic/assassin could work…? Or choose something else. Here’s the unfilled positions…”
Weapon master
Assistant healer
Bunny Assassin
Rock of good sense
Skilled hypnotist
The person who kills
thea black bunnyWarrior
Dithering idiot, but please, I beg you, don’t choose that as your character.))
Non-dithering idiot.
Cook
Computer techie
Assistant scientist
“Anyway, we can’t afford a single mistake. William has an army at his command. He could destroy us in an instant, therefore, we have only survived through a series of lucky accidents. Also, the first job we need to work on is recruiting. If we don’t have the force, then no matter if we crush William’s fortress into the ground, we’ll die under his superior numbers.”
((I have advertised on the Random thread, so remember, LIVE FREE…OR BE PIED HARD! [I have no idea how that relates, but…]))
“Hi MARFwarrior! I don’t know how you got here, either, but…” I turned to ZVX. “Sounds good to me.”
((can I join as Computer techie, or assistant scientist?))
((also, can I have a riddle?))
((I dunno what I’ll be. I said computer techie before, but my actions are leaning toward warrior.))
((Congratulations Brendan and Kokonilly, you’ve been promoted. You have a choice, Brendan, Kokonilly, you’re now a resistance fighter. Also, you could be an assassin if you care to…?))
((I’ll be an assassin!))
((64- you could be my assistant scientist, or a partner. I’m also a Weapon Master.)) ((What are Brain Points?))
“How can we crush his fortress to the ground at the same time we die? Not logical!” I complained. “Kokonilly, I think my bunnifaction was unauthorized. I was almost hypnotized, and why would I be hypnotized if I had been bunnified? I changed my mind, can’t I be a prisoner? Good for the ol’ acting skills…”
((I really do act. Really.))
I turned to Avalongirl. “I don’t know what you just said. Can you repeat that?”
I brought Serafina down to the psych room. “Could you lie down on the brain scanner table?” I asked her. “We just got a new one and I want to make sure it works” I stated, lying through my teeth. This brain scanner had already been tested, I just needed to scan her brain to see if there was a bunny influence in it.
((Can I be an assistant scientist who always tests anti-bunny stuff on bunnies in the field of battle before giving them out?))
((Look, it’s either hidden or whatever you think.))
“Sure, groundhog!” I answered excitedly.
“Ok, Kokonilly.” I took a deep breath.
“How can we crush his fortress to the ground at the same time we die Not logical Kokonilly I think my bunnifaction was unauthorized I was almost hypnotized and why would I be hypnotized if I had been bunnified I changed my mind can’t I be a prisoner Good for the ol’ acting skills…”(in one breath!)
((Serafina can be influenced by a HWB, or a HVB.))
((what exactly am I, other than an alien?))
“Um… okay then… Your bunnification was unauthorized?”
75-((
………..No idea.))
((Hi guys- sorry I was out a while…))
“Okay, what is our main plan? Everyone is saying so many things it’s hard to keep track of who is saying what. Am I correct in saying that the plan is thus:
TGYPWYA, since he has been spying all this time, will make out like we were wiped out and will bring captives (have the bunnies taught you any hypnosis, just by the way?). The captives will be people who were bunnified/ hypnotized in the past.
Is that all correct?”
53-That’s a brilliant plan.
78- Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s all in order.
“I would be thrilled to pretend to be a survivor”, I said boldly. “After all, I’ve been an actress all my life, and I know judo. I also have an infallible resistance to hypnosis, so I don’t think the bunnies would be able to conquer my mind too easily. But what if William is strong enough to penetrate our cover? I think we need to have a backup plan just in case.”
((-72 you could be apprenticed to Groundhog.))
“That all seems to work. I have an idea, but I have to make sure it’s possible before saying anything.” I paused. “I have quite a bit of–”
a buzzing came from my pocket. I pulled out the communication card. The cards were one of the more useful inventions of the century; disguised as a library card, it was actually any commander, spy or plotters’ best tool: it had video, phone, internet, and voice recording.
I pressed a button on the screen. “Yes. What did you find out?”
“The bunnies are moving a…er…five thousand strong command out on the 5th of August, sir.”
“No need to call me sir, Wyatt. That just happens to make the plan more important. Try BunnyInfo/William/archives?.com. That should get it.”
“But, I’m there right now. I have a mental scan of William’s brain as of July 9th, 2008.”
“Good. Thank you, Wyatt.”
I closed the connection and turned to the rest. “Well, I suppose there’s something I need to tell you.”
“Exactly!” I beamed.
Then I got serious. “A backup plan? We take down as many bunnies as we can and go out in a blaze of glory. Or we choose the cowardly way and try to escape. Either way, it gets a lot harder.”
“If William figures out our plan, we’ll just have to go down fighting. This is our best chance to end the bunny rule.” I turned to face ZVX. “And what did you want to tell us?”
((I was hoping for an assistant…))
“What is it ZVX?” Baylee asked worriedly. At the same time, people were trying to figure out a back-up plan. “To crush his fortress to the gound at the same time we die is to use a,” she stopped. Why did she even think about it? That was the worst thing to do. They should only use it if it was the last thing they could do. She continued, “Is to use a subspace bomb. One that send them all into a subspace, somewhere outside of time, there’s no way to get out of it. You could take a ship off the planet, but you would need to travel pretty fast to do all that. Otherwise…” She trailed off.
((Baylee, do you like Super Smash Bros Brawl?))
Outside of time…subspace bomb…ship off the planet…
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “There’s a hole in your plan, Baylee. Actually, there’s 2. 1: How would we get a subspace bomb? And 2: what are the odds of us making it off-planet alive?”
((Hehe, yes, I do.))
“Here’s the thing, we don’t get a subspace bomb, we build one. A smaller level of subspace is merely traveling in hyper speed on one of our ships. To make a bomb like that, when it blows, the waves will have to be traveling faster than that, to create a moving window into subspace.”
((I love their website. Subspace is cool!))
I looked lost. “How will we build one? Waves? Window?”
“This isn’t getting us anywhere. The fact is, William is building computers. Computers that build things, computers that wire orders directly to his command. He’s mobilizing the army against us on August 5th. I have something to discuss with Groundhog about this. Tomorrow hopefully we’ll have the decision made; and I’ll share the idea. I’m not going to put it on the line yet, though.”
I put the card back in my pocket. “The call I received from Dr. Canix’s assistant, Wyatt, told me that the bunnies will mount their attack. Also, I think that we should develop an order in here. Commander of ______ Lieutenant report to ______ Sergeant _____ works on ______ and so on. We need to–”
the rest of my words were drowned out by a roar behind us.
Me: ( tilits cowboy hat over face) Soo you want to defeat the bunnies, eh? Well I can help you, see I created them.. I will tell you my story… Once long ago in a lab I was the subject of an experiment. They were making a super human with the intellect of fifty Einsteines.. I was not the only test subject… Ooooh nooo… there was a bunny a pink bunny, he had been created as a helping bunny… a slave to hummans he was… One night we escaped together. When we found somewhere to stay I scanned his genetic code. I created more and more bunnies, we lived happily ( shudders) until.. until the glitch . They all turned against me
“We can invent a palm-sized subspace bomb, can’t we?” I asked. “Then, one of us can have it on him/her and we can throw it and escape. But you’re right. There is the problem of getting off the planet. What if we also invented a subspace rocket? We could program the bomb to go off a certain time after we set it, fight the bunnies, and have enough time to escape onto the rocket and get out of here before the whole place blows to bits! But ZVX is right. We need to find a way to immobilize the compu-”
An enormous roar echoed through the chamber, sending a blast that shot debris flying past all of our heads. I turned my head against the mobile chunks of rock to see…
Me: We could leave a cotton candy trap. They can’t resist cotton candy. Everyone: (stares) Me: I am serious Me: Oh yeah, the getting off the planet thing, k got it (thinks about it)
((RK_97 Would you please post your comments in italics? Everyone has a character in the storyline here. If you’d like to join, then please do!))
i hav an idea to get us off te planet! i have some friends who live on a nearby plne called zooxypoo. they like te colr ot pnk but despise bunnies. maybe if me mash up a couple hpbs and send them o my friends eywill rescue us. good idea?
((Whew, finally finished reading (kind of, anyway – I skimmed a lot of battle scenes)! I don’t have time to do an intro now, but I’ll probably join as a bunny assassin or assistant scientist. Which do you need? Also, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could summarize who’s who, what’s what, and where everybody is at the moment. I lost track of characters’ jobs/statuses, current weapons technology, and location in the midst of reading four threads’ worth of story. :|))
((92- I don’t speek ze shorthand.))
((Random Kokopelli_97, I don’t mean to be rude, but please learn how to roleplay before you post again.))
I stared at Aggrifishi. “A SUBSPACE ROCKET??!! Did anyone ever tell you you’re insane?” I yelled.
That was when I heard it. An enormous roar. I was hit in the head by one of the pieces of debris, and looked back.
I froze.
((I’m leaving for a few hours!))
“Erm, yes, I’ve heard that…” I said uncomfortably. “Buuut… there’s such a thing as a controlled force field, if we could manage to create one we might be able to escape before the fabric of the inner planet is burst. That way, we could use the explosion to spur us on if we were to, um, er, escape alive…”
((-93 Assistant Scientist. Brendan, care to be an assistant to Beatlesrockr, and Eta, maybe with Groundhog…?))
Escape alive ! We might not escape alive!!! I cried out.
“Hey, hey, come on.” I said reassuringly. “We know we’re stronger than them, it’s just a matter of, um *hemhem* the amount of people vs the amount of bunnies.” I paused. “Oh, and the amount of time. And the amount of danger, and, well, yeah…” My voice trailed off. Evidently I wasn’t doing a very good job of explaining things.
I shuffled around a bit. “I’m liking your ideas. But, who is that random guy with a cowboy hat and is screaming crazily?” I asked, bemused by this odd fellow’s actions.
“I think, and this is just a guess, but Mr. Cowboy-Hat is on our side”, I replied. “But my question is..where nare we going to get the brain power and the technology to build a subspace bomb, much less a tiny subspace bomb? And by August 5th?
“Ahem, excuse me guys.” I coughed. “What do you think I was doing before I joined the Resistance? I drew up some plans for a subspace bomb. Here they are.” I produced the plans out of my pocket.
((Is the exploding wall occuring or not?))
I pored over the plans- they looked pretty good. Not that I know much about building spacecrafts and such- my engineering skills are totally nil. “Well, it seems we have this back up plan. By the way, Kokonilly- do you have any of the materials for this?” I asked. ((praying that this gets typed fast enough before the computer shuts down on me since we are having a storm though I doubt it will shut down.))
((Also, recently I have been having dreams where slightly-larger-than-life bunnies with large buck teeth have been attacking me. This cannot be a coincidence.))
((103 –
Oh, my. What a peculiar dream. That reminded me of Star Wars! Yay!! I lose.))
“Oh, all of the materials are at my apartment, which…” I stopped. “…got burned down a while ago… Uh-oh. Well, I got everything at Home Depot, which…” I paused. “…also got burned down…”
“I hate to be a pessimist, but right now I really feel like one,” I muttered. “Can we PLEASE just make the bomb from scratch and make the rocket?”
((104- What do you lose?))
“Don’t worry to much about materials, Kokonilly. I’m sure Groundhog has at least some of the materials. Inventors do tend to have lots of metal.”
((106 – I lose the Game. Look on the Random Thread.))
“I have a broken rocket somewhere around here. You can use its remains.”
“Yes, finally something positive “,I said happily. “Oh yeah”, I added, “I know this isn’t the tme for introductions ,but heres my twin…She screams whenever she sees the color pink”… ” So naturally shes against the bunnies”.
“Interesting…but the bunnies aren’t all pink. There’s orange, pink, black, white, mottled pink, red, magenta and gradient pink with tinges of orange.” I peered at Random Kokopelli_97. “And by the way, I’ll spill the beans early. I had the idea for an attack shuttle. One that flies, that could be used on William’s fortress.” I allowed some time for the sentence to sink in before starting again.
“In fact, we do have quite a bit of metal, but I thiink a subspace bomb is out of the question. We know we’re going to be attacked on August 5th, and a bomb like that would take waaayyy to long. In fact, we’d be lucky to have it in three years. A shuttle like I’m thinking, however, would be relatively easy compared to the bomb, and able to fire blue rinses on the fortress. We would have a better chance of winning.”
I raised my hand tentatively. “Actually, ZVX…? I made a subspace bomb in two weeks simply using my home workshop. I’m sure I can make another, given proper tools and such…”
” Back then…What exactly were you doing with a subspace bomb lying around? I asked.
“I do weird things like that,” I said with a shifty grin on my face.
“Uh, ZVX? If you need a shuttle, I’ve got one. I came in an Assault Cruiser, actually, which is a heavily armed shuttle. Plus it’s from the bunnies, so they won’t attack until we do.” Then I realized something. “Forget the rocket- If we can get into the fortress, we can plant the bomb and run! And if we don’t use a rocket, that’ll cut down the build time.” I laid out my grand plan. “Like in the original plan, I take some “captives” and a “captured bomb” to the fortress. Once we’re safely inside, we’ll arm the bomb and open the gates for reinforcements. We’ll fight our way towards the hangar, where we hijack some bunny assault craft and take the battle outside, where we have a better chance of survival. After fighting for a bit, we’ll retreat, and the bunnies should probably return to the fortress in order to assess damages and whatnot. Then we remotely trigger the bomb.†I paused, then said, “But there’s no margin for error. One slipup, and it’s over.â€
What is the main lethality of a Subspac Bomb?
I can try to make extra adjustments, if necessary.
“TGYPWYA, good plan. If anyone likes it, say aye! AYE!” I commented.
Then I started begging. “I WANT TO BE A PRISONER!!!”
“Yes…good plan, TGYPWYA! Maybe you could also haul in a lethal supply of Bio-Grenades. Make it look like the bunnies have our deadliest weapon, and by the way, let me give you a Communication Card….” I pulled one out of my pocket. “This one just needs to be personalized. That means no one can operate it but you, and probably that will come in handy.” I handed the card to TGYPWYA. “The plan should work. The way I see it is that you walk in with “captives” and say that you’ve stolen our weapons and kidnapped our members, William should believe you. Then, once you’re alone, you can open the gate–no, once you’re alone, call me with the card. I’ll bring a group of Resistance around, and we blast the place to pieces, take out the forces, and win. Is that correct?”
“Um, pardon me”, I said tentatively, “but I don’t think that we should reveal the bomb to the enemy at all. They might confiscate us and use it to eliminate the rest of us back at base. Like you said, there’s no margin for error, so that would be a big no-no, right? I think that one of us should hide the bomb with us and stow it somewhere conspicuous. Then we can set a timer on it which would allow us an area of time to defeat the army, get out of the castle, escape to the shuttle and be out of here before the planet implodes.”
I turned on the brain scanner and looked at the screen. Just as ZVX and I had suspected, there were pink splotches scattered around Serafina’s brain. They were a bit darker than normal though–I assumed that was because a hybrid had gotten her. Now the question was how to get Serafina to submit to being dehypnotized without making her think that I didn’t trust her. After a few moments of thought, I hit upon an idea. “Serafina, the scan seems to imply that you’ve got a slight concussion. I’m going to hypnotize you to see if that’s true. Before she could protest, I steered her onto a nearby couch and put her onto a trance. I gave her mind strong instructions to disregard and forget about anything the bunnies told her to do. Then I slowly brought her out of the trance. As she woke up, I looked at her concernedly. “Serafina?†I asked as her eyelids began to flutter. “How do you feel?â€
((So the plot right now is how to get off the planet? Works for me.))
“I’ll stay back here, and help prepare a way for us to get off the planet!” ((I’m a Skilled Hypnotist and Medic, by the way!))
“True, it’s risky. But it also happens to be effective. And, the bunnies wouldn’t have time to destroy us, they’ll just be a pile of rubble by the time they even realize.” I laid my blaster on the table. “Everyone in favor put your weapon on the table!”
I placed my Swiss Army knife and my hands on the table. A couple people acted surprised until I said “I lost my blaster quite a while ago, before the hypnotizing. Feel free to admire my battle efforts without a gun.”
“They wouldn’t use it against us, because they’ll be under the impression that the captives are the only remaining resistance members. And I’ll keep an eye on it.” I placed my blaster on the table.
“Well…” I hesitated, holding my blaster above the table. “I guess.” I set it down next to Kokonilly’s Swiss Army Knife.
“Oh, right, forgot these.” I put matches on the table. Everyone stared. “Why are you carrying around matches?” someone asked. I shrugged. “They come in handy.” Nobody complained for a long while about the supplies I had in my pockets after that. “Oh, wait, forgot this too.” I placed a slingshot on the table along with the Swiss Army knife and matches.
“Slingshot”, I said, eyeing the weapon with a glint of humor in my eye. “Interesting weaponry.”
“Yes, a slingshot. So?” I said, injecting a wee bit of attitude into my response, looking Agrrfishi in the eyes. She recoiled.
((I have been in cape cod for 4days without a computer, but let’s just say I have been off of this planet gatering alien recruits, and just got back to see a whole new plant forming around a doggy sounding sub-whatever bomb.)) ((110-ARtemis Fowl?)) ((oooh! I am going to make the exploding wall happen ok?))
((this will be in 3rd person, as I ab beibng multipal people))
With a CRASH the wall to the new lab exploded , and on the other side was a really weird looking space vehical. the door hissed open, and earthgirl stepped out, closely followed by a tenticalled ball that was defying grafity, box that walked on stumpy legs and changed color every 10 secconds, and at least 5 humioid looking beings of various colors and sizes, from 1′ one that was pale blue, to a marroon one that had to bend almost in half t o fit throught the door. earthgirl waved sheepishly. “sorry I left without anyone noticing, but I hacked into the computer on CTN’s space ship and went to some of the other planets oppressed by bunnies. these people are the leaders of the rebbelions. their troops are on their way, and they will propably arrive by August 4th or 5th” she says to the stunned faces looiing at her. “I hope they fit into the revised plan” a purple, female looking huminoid, about 7’tall spoke up. “me used to be the- bloop-um, the Queen of the planet you call uranus and it’s moons. we have been attaced bythe perriwinkalus bunnificaluss, the HPBs (hot perriwinkle Bunnies). “see?” earthgirl pleads “these people need us, and we need them! they are very intellegent, and have feelings too” “they also have great inter-galaxial language programs” someone said.
“Hello, Eria! Long time no see!” I wave.
“hi!” I wave back “so. what is the NEW plan? will the inter-galaxial resistance figters still be of help?”
“Yes! Definitely! We need all the help we can get!”
((are we stil setting weapons on the table? i think so))
“well i have this” i said, gesturing over my shouldet to the overlarge sword sli=ung across my back. “i might have a few other things in my bag” i untie a small leather drawstring bag from my belt and empty the contents onto the table.”lighter, may be useful, gum, pens, duckt tape, collapseable crossbow, wallwe.. wait! collapseable crossbow! i thought i lost that. have i contributed enough?”
“could you fill me in on the revised plan, and then we can all *gestrures towards aliens* plan everyone’e part in it?.” I take kokonilly aside and tell her “it is very important that we treat them as equals. just because we are the host species dosnt mean that we can put on airs” I wait for the indignance to pass and say “I ‘m not saying you are. it’s just thatthey look so different, that it could be easy to forget. also, I think it might be good if General Valentine were informed of their being here, and that s/he might be able to meet with them”
((MARFwarrior, you just reminded me of Valleyfair tomorrow with the crossbow. *hopes*))
“Oh, yes, I forgot this.” I set my lightsaber handle on the table before being yanked away by Eria. She hissed, “It is very important that we treat them as equals. Just because we are the host species doesn’t mean that we can put on airs.†I assume an offended air. Eria says hastily, “I ‘m not saying you are. It’s just that they look so different, that it could be easy to forget. Also, I think it might be good if General Valentine were informed of their being here, and that s/he might be able to meet with them.â€
I drank this all in, and said, “Fine with me. No rudeness.” I walked away and said loudly, “I accept the joining of the aliens.” I smiled warmly at them. Then, I turned to MARFwarrior and said, “Hold up. That’s waaaay too much stuff… HEY! That’s my collapsible crossbow I lost in college! You were the one who stole that.” I paused. “Whatever. Never mind, I got another one anyway.” I produced a shiny light blue crossbow with lime green accents and set it on the table.
(sets grenade, bow and arrow,blaster, stun gun, battle axe,and a mysterious glowing sword on the table)
“Er, well, you didn’t need to set everything on the table…” Several rolled their eyes. “But, we need and effective idea of weapon supplies. Speaking of that, I also have…” I put a standard sword blade on the table, “And these two.” A packet of stun darts and two poisoned throwing knives. “Well, as TGYPWYA’s got a shuttle, more importantly, a bunny shuttle, probably rivaling or surpassing our own capacity to build, we’re a huge step ahead. On another point, everybody gets new, upgraded blasters. They’re our main weapon, so we should keep them updated. Here they are…” I handed around a bag of the new ones. “They’re technically similar to the older model, but they can penetrate a black bunny’s armor. They don’t use standard explosives, either. These blasters are 100% electric, using the same principle as lightning. Any bunny needs to watch out for these; and while we’re at it, it’s completely silent.”
Suddenly I noticed something very strange on the table that Kokonilly slipped on there. Eria grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to the side. I turned back, probably not a problem.
Then the wall exploded. Earthgirl walked out, followed by a number of strange creatures.
“What the–”
“Oh, hello ZVX. These are a few of CTN’s friends. I managed to bring them here, they’ve been attacked by bunnies on Uranus.”
“And how–no what–? Bunnies on–Uranus?”
“Me used to be the bloop-um, the Queen of the planet you call Uranus and it’s moons. we have been attacked by the Perriwinkleus Bunnificalus, the HPBs
The tall, blue-skinned female spoke up. I turned to her, but found myself craning my neck to see. As a relatively short human, (5’2″) I was dwarfed in her shadow.
((Um… a lot has happened since I got back from camp… let’s say we got teleported, shall we?))
Leafygreen and I glanced at each other. “I’ll go first.” she murmers to me. Leafygreen laid her virtually indestructuble sword on the table, three bombs, a whip, an umbrella, and a shotgun on the table. Then it was my turn. I set on the table my virtually indestructable sword on the table, rope, a grenade, a rifle, and five bombs. Then we both laughed nervously as everyone stared increduously at all the stuff we had pulled from our pockets.
“A grenade?” I rolled my eyes. “I’M not even that bad.”
“Well, you said weapons.” Leafygreen said. “These are weapons.”
“The bunnies took my weapon, and I haven’t had a chance to get a new one yet. But I’m putting my imaginary weapon on the table! And by the way, where might there be extras?”
“I’m all in as well.” said I to the assembled multitudes. I laid my blaster, new blaster, upgraded depigmatizer darts, and lockpick on the table. “What’s with the lockpick?” asked someone. “It’s useful as well as painful, if you poke it in the right place on a bunny.”
I held my new weapon in my hands, feeling the smooth metal and checking for nicks and scratches. “These should work just fine”, I pronounced, picking up my old blaster and stowing it away just in case. “If you need my old bklaster Turquoise, I’d be glad to give it to you”, I offered.
“Nah, here’s the new model. Well, if you care for the old model that’s fine, but the new is just an improved version. And we’ll see to a dart gun and Com. Card. But back to business, once everyone has weapons, we can mount the attack. Previously, the bunnies have always made the first move. It will surprise William that we make such a violent and forceful attack on his fortress. At best, we could destroy their hideout, then we might be able to win in pitched battle. If TGYPWYA enters the fortress with “captives” and our supposed most powerful weapon, then he gives a signal when the time is right, he takes the captives out of the fortress, we blue-rinse the thing, and it’s over. Well, probably not over, but with any luck the bunnies will be driven out of their fortress. They could be defeated in open field, but of course, we don’t know the strengths of the HOBs, HWBs, and HBBs. However, our laser blaster cannon should take care of that. If we, however, make a mistake, then we are as good as dead.”
“I’d hate to be dead”, I said, handling the new blaster. “Let’s not make any mistakes, shall we?”
“It seems that we’re all in agreement. So let’s get to work on making our plan happen,” I said as I examined the new blaster.
((Seriously, let’s get to work. I’ll be on vacation for two weeks starting Monday and may not be able to post))
“Right. We attack soon. Very soon. This upcoming evening?” I checked my watch. “It’s 12:48 a.m., so we should all get some sleep. TGYPWYA, if you care to leave around 2:00 a.m., then you should make the fortress in under an hour if you fly a small ResistanceHawk. We attack at TGYPWYA’s say-so. Everyone able to do that?”
((137- Earthgirl and Eria are the same person. me. earthgirl on this tread, eria on MA, and TRPV on MS))\
“that sounds great, but the alien reenforcements won’t be here untill the 4th or 5th….unless… we fixed CTN’s space ship and took it up tp lighten their load. the whole resistance is on 4 jumbo ships, but they are all overloaded and not built for speed. we could refit your space ship((this is to CTN)) as a “tugboat” and use the imter-Galaxial Propulsion system that I saw to pull them back sooner. does anyone want to help me wiht that? anyone who isnt part of the infiltration party that is.”
((can I have a piepoint or 2 for bringintg the aliens? anyone?))
((wait, so are we going to build a bomb or not?))
“Ok, so I’ll get to work on the bomb. I need two assistants,” Baylee grabbed a box of metal scraps, some of the real bombs they had in the lab, and a ton of other junk. “Well, does anyone want to help?” She looked around the room expectantly.
” um, actually, I think we are going to build a blue-rinse bomb instead of the space-warping one. I was on Uranus when the decision was made, so I’m just geussing.” ((oh yeah- read artemis fowl for the full description of a blue-rinse and it’s effects. basicly it kills everything alive within a certain perimeter and leaves anything else undisturbed and fine. also within ARtemis fowl, you can find the one way to escape one-it is better that a very few # of people know what it is so the bunnies can’t find out. who else has read Artemis Fowl?))
“I’ll help you Baylee- just tell me what to do.”
((The new Artemis Fowl book is out!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this is so random but I had to get it out.))
((the 5th? I read that one! or do you mean to say that there is a 6th! and that I havnt heard of it!!!!!!! *is indignant* *rushes to nearest bookstore to knock it down looking for Artemis Fowl #6))
((149- You want piepoints? Here, have 255 of them. I really do have them, I just dropped them out of my name a while ago)).
“i’ll helpe with the blue rinse! i used to make fireworks to bring in a little more cash and some of those skills may be useful with bombmaking. ((i read the first artemis fowl book. i have a question. is he supposed to be named after the greek goddESS of the hunt?)) i always liked making fireworks. i also am good at catapults if we want to throw the bomb.”
((I don’t see anything in the previous posts about a blue rinse bomb…)
“A blue rinse. Hmm. Ok, I just have to make some adjustments to the blueprints,” Baylee took out a pencil and erased part of the sketch, “I’ll add something there, oh don’t forget that, and a part goes there, done!” She looked up, “Could some one get that tank and split the bomb? I’m going to need a
((Oh, sorry, I have to go right now…))
((Lost internet, I’m lost!))
AVALONGIRL:
I placed my blaster, my electric whip, and my hairpin on the table. “I’m in!” I answered. “And, Baylee, I’ll help, if I can.”
I grabbed the new blaster.
SERAFINA:
“A little light-headed, like I’m going to faint. I’m really dizzy..”
I answered.
“A blue rinse? Oh, wait, that reminds me.” I pulled a blue rinse out of my pocket as everyone stared.
I stared incredulously at Kokonilly. “What are the odds of you having a blue rinse in your pocket? Are you sure you’re really Kokonilly and not some non-HPB greater force?” I yelled.
“I’m just weird like that?” I shuffled uncomfortably. “And I am Kokonilly, but how do you know I’m also not a greater force?” I clamped my hand over my mouth after saying that. “Oops.”
“Oh, well, I don’t know why everyone was so hyped up. We already have two, Kokonilly, and the other is just weld a bunch of the B-L Grenades together..” I stared around. “Let’s see it, Kokonilly.”
She held it up, yes, it was a perfect blue rinse, keypad and everything, it just needed to be imprinted, well, that could be solved.
I pressed my finger against the thumbpad on the Bio-Bomb. A small light glowed blue, and several of the assembled scrambled backwards, afraid that it was about to explode.
“Don’t worry, it’s just that it used to be that if you had one of these on your space, then the enemy could set it off. Now, it only will detonate if I put my index finger on there.” I indicated the pad. “And it recognizes my fingerprint. And DNA, by the way, therefore, no one else can detonate the bomb unless my hand is laying on there and they just happen to push it into the pad. When this is set on the rocket launcher, all it takes is for me to press my finger on there, it launches, and it explodes.”
I took my hand away, shoving it back in my pocket. “And by the way, Kokonilly, I think we should know exactly how you managed to have one of the most dangerous weapons of all time hanging out in your coat pocket. I’ve been in the Resistance since it started. We never gave you a Bio-Bomb to just carry around in your pocket. I think we need to know, no offense, but we need to track all our members’ achievements. And by the way, we only had one Bio-Bomb, which has detonated quite a while ago, before you joined, in fact. So why was there a Bio-Bomb just sitting in your pocket?”
I sighed wearily. “Maybe it’s time I told you all.
“When I turned 13, some weird creatures approached me at exactly 5:00 AM and took me away. I don’t know what they were. But they were blue and tall, quite like our Uranian friends here, in fact.” I waved to the aliens, who were sitting in the corner and shivering. “They… they took me away. Told me stories. Educated me.” I shivered slightly, then continued.
((I’ll continue this later.))
“O-ok, what was THAT supposed to mean? You ARE a greater force?” I answered.
“ZVX, what if the bunnies search you? We might need to give it to TGYPWYA…” I said.
“Wait, wait, let me finish.” I continued.
“They told me how to build things, things that should never be exposed to the human world.” I paused. “Well, I guess I am human, but
((more later, gotta go!))
“Alright, I’ll get a few “captives” and head out at 02:30. Any volunteers? And Kokonilly, you were captured?”
((154- Hey IBCF, did you ever finish that third Bunny Invasion video? I want to see it before I finish off the game))
“I’ll be a captive.” said Leafygreen. “Well, if you’re going, I’m going too.” I added solomenly.((I know I spelled that wrong)) “But have you ever been captured?” inquired TGYPWYA. “Yes and no.” Leafygreen answered. “The bunja submarines attacked our town, didn’t they? Well, if they ask, you say you found us hiding in the kelp a while ago and recognized our swords. You took us, brainwashed us, and made back with the others.” I said to him. “Is that okay?”
“…but I was taught the ways of the Uranians. So, all in all, I think I may have a longer life span –” The blue-skinned people nodded sagely at this “– and I have control of powers that should never be released to be mankind,” I concluded, looking at everyone uneasily. “Oh, and they deposited me at Earth a Uranian-week later, but they traveled back in time to I was only gone for a spit second. I may have flickered.” I chuckled gently at the thought of someone flickering. I turned to TGYPWYA. “Yes, I believe I was captured, but they mentioned something about ‘destiny’. I dunno.”
Oh, and I meant SPLIT second, not SPIT second.
“I’ll be a captive!!!” I answered loudly.
Then I looked into Kokonilly’s eyes and nodded.
“What? Why are you looking at me?” I said, jolting out of Memory Lane. “What did I do?”
“Nothing,†I answered. “I just felt like it.â€
“Well, actually, they won’t be searching me, because I’m going to be in charge of the actual air attack. That’s where the Bio-Bomb will be sitting. Right there in the hold of the rocket launcher on the shuttle. You’ll actually be taking in an un-imprinted bomb. Did you notice how much of the plan relies on chance? Well, imagine if William tried to imprint the already imprinted one? You would all be executed for treachery, and I’m not going have that on my track record. The bomb you will be taking in,” I took a breath. “Will be fake. The fact is, it is 100% real, except it can’t detonate. So the little light will turn blue, William will be able to imprint it, but if he tries to fire it, then nothing will happen. Oh, and since I haven’t addressed this yet, he won’t try to detonate it until we appear, however, there won’t be time to kill all you “captives” because the fortress will be destroyed at precisely that time. The Bio-Bomb needs to be programmed to not blast any of you. Bunnies only.” I pulled out the bomb programmer. “This,” I held it up. “Will tell the bomb not to attack human flesh. It can recognize anything. If you told it to zap a pond free of mosquitoes, then there you go. So, we attack very soon. Everyone, get some rest!”
“Yes, ZVX.” I retreated to my room ((Do we all sleep at HQ? I dunno.)), collapsed on the bed and immediately fell fast asleep.
((173- Let’s say we do.)) “See ya!” said Leafygreen, and we walked to our room, I climbed onto the top bunk, she scrambled onto the lower one, and she fell fast asleep. But I stayed up for a bit, trying to picture me “hypnotized.” Then I fell fast asleep, fidgeting in my slumber.
“I want to be a captive!” I cried, waving my hand wildly in the air, and thinking that the acting classes i had taken down at the MA were finally going to pay of.. “I could make everyone look like there had been a struggle to capture us, so that our story would be more beleivable. I’ve got some dark makeup here that i could use to make so marks that look like bruises.” I yawned heavily. “Well, see you guys tomorrow.” I trudged drearily back to my room and flopped on the bed. We had a lot of work ahead of us.
“‘Night, Agrrfishi,” I called below me before I fell asleep.
((176- Wha??? You just contradicted everything you said in your last post!!))
((177 – Did I? Then I’ll add it.))
“Night”, I called from my floating hammock.
p.s. Don’t ask, just don’t ask.
((The next day. I don’t care if you wanted to write what kind of bed you got. I just don’t care.))
I woke up. Then I yawned.
“All right. Well, exalted but-probably-won’t-live-through-tomorrow is going to bed–and wait just a sec, Agrrrfishi! Dark makeup? Try using a little of this black watercolor paint for laser burns too!”
I grabbed my blaster from the table and left, off to my room. When I entered, it looked as oddly furnished as it ever had. I paused to stare for a second at the computer screen on the wall displaying a live camera video of William’s personal chambers, then crashed back on the bed. I was starting to feel doubts about the next day. Something wasn’t right: the uncanny smoothness at which everything had run…or was I just experiencing “Attack Planner Syndrome” as it was called by Resistance psychiatrists? Deciding that it didn’t matter at the time, I rolled over, and vainly attempted to fall asleep. It just wouldn’t come…((this is because “S/He fell asleep instantly” is such a cliche.))
I lay there. Perhaps it was just stress. It wasn’t like I was low on that, or was I really having a moment of intuition of the future? Nah, I can’t be. That’s just impossible.
O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
That morning, I awoke bright and early. Judging by the lack of noise, I assumed I was the only one up. Well, might as well get myself ready; it wasn’t going to be a leisurely day. I quickly wrote a list of the things I needed. It read:
Helmet 1
Blaster 2
Darts 80 pack
Bomb-Proof Jacket 1
Bomb-Proof Pants 1
Grenades 15
Throwing Knives 2
Lockpick 4
Laptop 1
Notepad 1
Pen 1
Pocket Striker 1
First Aid Kit 1
Dart Gun 10
Blowgun 1
Bio-Bomb 1
Fake Bio-Bomb 1
Rockets 5
Swiss Army Knife 1
Communication Card 2
Laserproof shirt w/ concealed weapon pocket 1
I folded up the list. Now, all those things were not personally in my room, but that was everything we humans needed to get us through this. I began to feel desperate: most of this was my idea and if the bunnies killed anyone apart from me…
I sat up. I summoned ((I have one power- I can summon things. Leafygreen can conjure flames.)) my giant messenger bag and went to the storage room. I made a list-
——–
I NEED
Swiss
cheesearmy knifeThree blasters
Depigmentizer darts
Matches
Flashlight
Book
String
Glue
Lockpick
Whip
Grenades
My sword
Mirror
Shuriken
Needle & thread
Hologram projecter
Heavy- duty umbrella
——–
I tucked the list into my pocket and set to work finding the things I needed. I would summon my bag when I needed it, and I would have anything I could ever need in it.
i had left in the night and went out to gather supplies. i now had everything i would need to survive in a bunny fortress for over 19 years. and it all fit in to the little leather bag on my belt exept for the sword that was still across my back. i morphed into a cat and strolled outside ((i am a catninja who can swich between ninja, cat, my usual self or a mixture of the three.)) i lept to the roof and began warming myself on the shingles. i fell half-asleep but made sure not to go completely out,i was guarding the building as well.((all my stuff was in a miniscule leather bag around my neck.))
((183- That’s really cool!)) I had gathered my stuff up. I went back to the meeting room, laid my stuff down, and concentrated hard on where it was. The picture pinned in my memory. I pulled out the book and started reading. But it was no use. I could’nt escape into that alternate world, instead my mind had a firm grasp on this one. “Can’t stop thinking about it, huh?” said a voice. I looked around, but there was no one there.
I rose early to go run system checks on the cruiser we would be using. Okay, I did this solely to bolster my confidence. This mission was risky, and so much could go wrong. I sighed and went back inside. I leaned up against a wall behind ZVX and said, “Rough day coming up, huh?”
((Hey, can Serafina answer me? I’d like to be getting back upstairs to the cool planning session.))
I sighed. I was scared out of my mind. Literally. Leafy walked in. “You too? I’ve been sitting in bed for hours. I was already awake when you got up.” she yawned. “I need to go gather my stuff. Come with me?” “Sure.” As we walked, she told me I better summon her stuff too. “Sure!” I hugged her. “What are friends for?” I knew this would be the last moment for a long time that we could be ourselves.
((186- The planning session is over. We just woke up.))
((Well, I’m bored. 0- It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!!!
))
((Is it morning or what?))
I heard a soft whooshing sound and mumbled, “What time is it? Did I sleep in?”
((190- Yes, it is morning.))
“Everyone, let’s migrate down to the common room. We need to get everything organized. TGYPWYA is leaving soon, so any captives, report to him. Everyone with me, get your weapons and gear ready; even check the new blasters. Everything counts.” I set down a bag of my various possessions on the table. I took out a blaster, set it on a charger, and plugged the charger into the nearest outlet. “I think our volunteered captives were…Kokonilly…Agrrrfishi…Who else?” I looked around. “Everyone go to Commander TGYPWYA for instructions. All of you that are in the shuttle, come over here with me. Groundhog, what did you decide on? I think it’s more risky being in the shuttle…but then we’re just going to set the bomb off….”
When Leafy and I got back, everyone was disintigrating into two groups. We quickly joined the captive group. Leafygreen set down her bag on a chair and I memorized where it was. Then I ppounded the two images into my mind. I was finished. I took a deep breath. “When are we leaving?” I said, trying to look at ease.
“Depends on the group you’re in.”
I went into the common room with bedhead and muttering sleepily.
I practically sleep walked into the common room, I had stayed up almost all night thinking about what would happen if I died. Would anyone remember or care what happened to me? I had no family.. except my twin but she disapeared…
The others ignored me, dismissed me as a loon. Though I had just met them I cared the world for them all. The bunnies, what if something went wrong? What if it was my fault?I could never forgive myself…
( oOoO… drama)
i lept off the roof and decided to go on a spy mission. i started off toard the bunny HQ ((i actually am going on a vacation))
((197 – Have fun in Oregon! -mental telepathy- o.0 ))
((That night…))
“Okay, good plan- I’ll be in the fighting group. ‘Night all!”
((next morning…))
((ACKK! Sorry…))
I woke early, obviously. Scary battle nervousness tends to do that to people. I checked through my bag which I had packed ages ago (I always lug my bag around), donned my bunnyproof suit and joined the others in the common room.
((-196 we don’t dismiss you as a loon!))
So, again.. whats the plan?,I asked trying my best not to sound dumb.
201-i know, thats just how my character feels
((Groundhog, I did. Post 157. Well, Serafina fainted onto the floor.))
PAST, AVALONGIRL:
I hadn’t fallen asleep at 2 am. I padded softly out of the room, grabbed some tea, hid my new weapon, and threw some makeup and paint. I walked into the common room.
PRESENT, AVALONGIRL:
I walked next to Zinc. “Hey guys, I couldn’t sleep all night…”
((‘and threw some makeup and paint’ is supposed to be ‘and threw on some makeup and paint’! ))
((I like the original sentence.))
((Me too.
))
(me too) (laugh out loud)
((-204 LOL!))
“Everyone ready?” I looked around. “let’s get on the shuttle. We fly in approximately 45 minutes. The plan is to land near but out of sight of William and his minions. At TGYPWYA’s command, we zip on in and snipe at the bunnies for a few rounds, so TGYPWYA and the supposed hostages can make it somewhere safe. Then we blue-rinse the place.” I appealed to everyone. “I know it may seem cruel, but it’s the only way…”
((
))
“Alright, all captives, into the cruiser, we’re heading off now!” I fired up its engines and, when everyone had boarded, I yelled to the others, “See you guys at the fortress!” before zooming forward. This ship is considerably faster that theirs, so we’ll be there around the time they leave, I calculated. We’ll have around an hour inside the fortress before ZVX and the others arrive. A lot can happen in an hour.
“Wait for me!” I cried, hopping onto the cruiser after TGYPWYA and dragging a bag containing my blaster, bruise-resembling makeup and several hand grenades after me. I leapt onto the ship just as the door began to close. I flund myself into a chair, tired and gasping for breath. “Tell me about it”, I said breathlessly to Avalongirl. “I couldn’t sleep either. Now, who wants to look like a real captive?” I brandished my dark makeup in the air.
((i figured out i will have computer use here so please ignore my last post))
i jumped down the chimney,but regretted it imidiaately. i stepped out of the fireplace coughing and said “i need the dark makeup.”before i realized i was in cat form. i swiched back quickly and repeated my request.
206-((Glad you like it!))
“Me!” I shouted/er, squealed. “I tend to sleepwalk-OK, I haven’t since I was 12-but when I stay up late, I get dark circles under my eyes. And I used some this morning, and I’ll just need a little more.”
I brushed my mussed-up hair, (I hate having messy hair!) but not that much.
212-((are you a captive?The captives already left.))
I sat Avalongirl down on a stool and pulled out a makeup brush. “Here”, I said, painting dark bruises onto her cheekbones and across her arms. “This will make you look like you’ve been in a fight.” I put some finishing toches on her and looked from a distance to make sure it was beleivable, even to a bunny’s particular eyes. “There, perfect!” I said. “You look like a real captive now.” I did the same to marfwarrior, making sure that the makeup pattern was a bit different than Avalongirl’s. “Okay”, I yelled through the main ship chamber. “Who’s next?”
Get inside the cruiser. check
Check my weapons. check
Put on kevlar. check
Carry 6 bunny trackers (just in case). check
I had spent the night with CTN, fixing his/her ship and ten taking it into orbit ((I hope yopu don’t mind CTN, but you havnt been on in a while and I needed help!)) we used his tracking system to find the ships and sent out transpo-tenticals to latch onto the sides of each ship. the higher ranking aliens from each of the 5 hught ships came into CTN’s. we then communicated our problem and expalined the urgency for an early landing. they agreed and relayed the message to thier assorted troops. we then commenced to tug everyone along at hyper-galactic speed , and started our decent just as the “prisoners” were leaving. and for the second time in as many days, the people in the lab heard a huge CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH and the wall exploded- again. CTN and I stepped out and I said, “dejavu! we brought the entire alien troops as fast as we could, and I hope noone was too attatched to the faming grounds: they have beconme a landing ground. ” ((shouldnt we un-bunnify everyone? you know, to rebuild human civilisation and all? I hope we can still use the alien warriors.)) *ijoin in on the post-planing session*
“We need to look waterlogged!”
((-216- iJoin? is that new from Apple?))
“OK, TGYPWYA’s left. On the attack shuttle, everyone.” I said grimly. “This is the last chance of you don’t want to go; if any of you died, it would damage us horribly. If you want to stay, none of us will think down on you. Besides, there’s the chance that we’re all going to get killed…” I looked around at the stubborn faces surrounding me. “Right! The bomb has been programmed and loaded onto the rockets, AvalonGirl, Kittymine, to the side ports of the shuttle in case we’re attacked in the air. Groundhog, up front. Serafina, back end, control the rear end missiles. Everyone else, middle lane. If you want to switch positions, you can, but only if another person comes to stand in your place. When we attack the fortress, William is going to set off defenses against us. When I give the signal–a little speaker will beep in your chair–stand up and shoot out of the portals on the side. That should keep all the bunnies away. Any grenades, cannonballs, bombs, or other harmful devices thrown at us, shoot them with your blasters. They won’t explode, just get flung off course. Everyone good with that plan?”
“That sounds good!” I laughed. I cartwheeled to a side port.
SERAFINA:
“Um…you sure I should take it? I’m dizzy…” I said, swaying where I stood. I collapsed into a chair, holding my head.
“Are you okay, Serafina?” I ran to the back. “Groundhog! Is something wrong with her?” I turned, looking for Groundhog.
“No, she’s not.” Said a voice behind me. Groundhog. “Residual bunnification trauma, I’ll have to work on her.” Groundhog lifted Serafina up and carried her to the cots on the left side of the shuttle.
“IBCF, man the back. Serafina is temporarily out-of-action. Everyone else, I want your blasters ready; we could be attacked the moment we lift off. Everyone ready?”
I inserted the ignition pin into the hole.
With a bang, the shuttle started, it slowly vibrated.
The shuttle shot upward as I yanked on the joystick. Vertigo made me shake as I punched buttons, dials and manipulated the J-stick. I hit the pedal, and the shuttle blasted forward.
Good. no attacks.
It rolled and zipped; I began to wonder exactly how TGYPWYA managed to fly this thing with such ease. The shuttle suddenly stabilized itself, and we rocketed forward at a good 1000 MPH…
I screamed loudly, holding on to the handholds. All around me I saw people doing the same thing.
“”AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
I hoped Serafina was strapped in.
((yeep. I’ve missed a lot. Again.))
I helped Serafina up the stairs, since she was so dizzy and found everyone preparing the attack shuttle. After strapping Serafina to a cot, I strapped myself into the copilot’s chair at the front of the shuttle and chose the game-pod-style joystick to control my weapons. Good thing my brothers had convinced me to learn how to use one of those things–it made everything a lot easier. As I was pinned to my seat by the g-force, I wondered if this was the end. All of this was our last resort, and if it didn’t work, we’d probably all die. ((cue the dramatic music))
“Yes sir ma’am!” I hurried over to my assigned position in the shuttle and strapped in- just in time. The ship took off, but none to easily. ‘This is actually fun!’ I thought to myself. ‘I always liked rollercoasters.
((Wow, I’ve missed alot. Aliens? I’m glad I’m not the only one. And I’m a SHE.))
“Should i be in the shuttle?” I asked. I was not sure what to do. “And what position? what about my spacecraft? Should I be in that?”
((I’m trying to understand what has happened in the last 100 posts))
“How the heck did TGYPWYA make this so comfortable sounding?” I yelled over the roar of the engines. I jolted in the seat, and lunged across to slam my fist into the
STABILIZEbutton. I began to feel that if we even survived the ride…Immediately after ZVX hit the stabilize button, the ship, well, stabilized. Most of the occupants breathed a sigh of relief.
“Aww, nuts! I was having fun!” People looked at me incredulously. “What? I just like rollercoasters.” I turned my seat back to the port window. Below the window was a console, complete with a joystick and computer screen. Basically, the console controlled the ammo that came out from that port of the ship. I need just press a button and 5 bunnyblasters would pop out from the ship and shoot. In theory.
((I’m back… please enlighten meeee!! I will have limited Internet access for the next three weeks, though.))
I looked towards the front of the ship, and yelled a warning when I saw a lone bunny shuttle…
((We’re in an attack shuttle, flying to the bunnies’ fortress. We took off about five minutes ago.
A dark blot appeared on the horizon. I was in no doubt whatsoever what it was: it was the fortress, I could vouch for that.
“Fortress in site, crew.” I spoke into the mic hanging in front of me. “Expect an attack, AvalonGirl, Kitymine and IBCF, make sure your weapons are ready to take a good battering; William will see us if we don’t take cover soon! All of you not on duty, weapons cocked! Anyone who can, get my laptop out of the bag and open the encrypted file ‘fortress’. the password is ! @ $ % ^ & * ( ) . Submit it to the screen here in the cockpit, I can scope the lay of the land!”
A few minutes later I was interrupted by a buzzing in my pocket. It just happened to be my com. card. On it’s screen, TGYPWYA’s face showed, then a view of his surroundings. Bunnies were everywhere. The video ended; and I quickly hit “Save Footage”. It saved, giving me a tiny insight into what was happening in the fortress.
I slowly pressed the “accelerate” pedal with my foot.
((um… not sure I can do all that much. pretty much, we are launching an attack on the bunnie fortress which I never knew existed. there is 1 human shuttle captained by ZVX, CTN’s ship and about 4-5 Alien ships stuffed to the brim with resistance figters fleeing bunnies from various galexies. they have no idea what they are doings, since noone acknolledged their existance. they will just follow the human suttle and shoot what they shoot and kill as many bunnies as possible. each ship is lead by the leader of that species. i still thik we should try to un-bunnify as many people as possible to rebuild the human population. I thik that is it *chaos resumes*))
I signal to the alien space craft to lift off and follow ZVX. they all do, and instantly, the ships chang into ballte form, sprouting arms, missle launchers, poits, and acid spewing pipes, becoming more areodynamic as they do. the residents of over 20 planets from at least 3 galexies ready to do battle agianst the evil bunnies of the rainbow. duh duh DUHHH…
I quickly loaded my weapon, and put additional bullet packets in my pocket.
((would anyone mind acknowloging the x-tra forces? I hope they will still be needed. I mean, I can’t just send them back!))
((225- I guess I’ve just got a gift for flying))
I slowed the ship down as we arrived at the looming fortress. Well, here goes nothing, I thought as the bunny sentries came out.
((ha! that worked!))
I tried to reasure myself, well we do have the x-tra forces. Theres no way we can fail ,not after all this.
232-How’s that?
Wait- which ship am I on ? I’m confused.
The captives landed silently in a place near the entrnace to the fortress. “Everybody stay calm”, TGYPWYA whispered as the sentries left the fortress in a haze of magenta color. ” Look beaten down, and I’ll keep you tied up.” TGYPWYA chained us all together with a piece of weak rope, so that when he gave the signal we would all be able to spring into action. Then, we all gathered small coollapsible blasters. They were stowed away in our pockets so that when we broke free we could wreak havoc on the bunnies and find someplace safe until reinforcements arrived with ZVX.
There was a sudden bang from outside the ship. I shuddered, as everything that could possibly go wrong flew through my mind in a haze. Then-it was time.
I looked out my window and lo and behold!- there was a small bunny ship. I readied the weapons and my blaster, noting that the other alien ships behind us had transformed into battle mode. (cool!). As my hand hovered over the ATTACK button, I thought of my friend Scarlette (not real name!) who had fled our city when the bunnies attacked 2 years ago. She had been taken captive by William a few months before, when her hideout had been swarmed with bunnies. ‘Scarlette, this is for you.’ I thought as I waited for the signal to fire at will.
((I haven’t been on in a kinda not really long time. Could someone fill me in on the plan?))
((Dang it, I forgot to close the italics again! *sigh* Oh well.))
((Oh yeah, I’m gonna be gone, so ZVX, could you take control of my character for the time being?))
“Passengers on this unidentified cruiser! Show your faces!” A squeaky, high-pitched voice came from behind the door. “Be careful, and don’t crack under pressure”, signaled TGYPWYA, and he quickly composed himself, taking ahold of my end of the rope, at the front of the line. He pressed the open panel button, and the front of the cruiser slowly opened. “Good evening, bunnies. I’ve brought some resistance captives.” I acted in pain and tried to emphasize the bruises I had painted on my face. Behind me, Kokonilly let out a small squeak. There were bunnies everywhere now, clutching large blasters that were much too big for their tiny forms. I pretended to struggle as I saw TGYPWYA press a small button near his pocket, a portable video camcorder. He recorded for a few seconds, and then stopped filming. He had gotten a perfect shot of the fortress and all of the bunnies. I hoped that the fighters coming after us would be able to get the message.
“What is your purpose here, human? You are the spy, are you?†The largest, most “muscular†bunny that could talk and bore an enormous blaster strapped across his chest examined TGYPWYA with a mistrusting air in his voice. The other bunnies began prodding the captives with their guns, tittering and smirking in a superior manner, thinking that the battle had already been won. ‘Just wait until the fighters come’, I thought smugly. Avalongirl let out a small yelp behind me as one of the sentries poked her with the nose of his blaster((you are a captive, right?)).
“Yes, I’m the one who’s been reporting on themâ€, said TGYPWYA. “I must take them into the dungeon immediately.†He tried to push past the bunnies to no avail.
“Hold it, foolish biped. You’re not going anywhere.†Many of the bunnies blocked the entrance to the fortress. My heart started racing. They had to let us in, they had to! Kokonilly started to take short breaths behind me. I saw one of the bunnies looking directly into her eyes, hypnotizing her…zombifying her! I gave TGYPWYA a small shove to the back of the knee. He looked back angrily, and then saw what was happening.
“You, there, stop that! These prisoners must be kept alive!†He shoved the bunny, who looked indignantly up at him. “I have destroyed their rebel base, but, uh, they may know more than they have told me. They must be kept in their mental state. “ He faltered. I could tell that there was something wrong. ‘Please, please let them come’, I said silently to myself as more and more bunnies began to look suspiciously at us.
((What happened to Serafina? I’ll post just as AvalonGirl, then.))
I stumbled, dragging Kokonilly and Kittymine down. I let out a small squeak, silently thanking I had hid my weapons well.
Something wasn’t right. I could feel it.
You’re just saying that because you’re in the bunny fortress… my logical voice of reason chided.
No! Something will go wrong! my emotional voice (or my right brain) screamed silently.
I almost screamed as I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.
Was that it? my logical mind (left brain) asked sneeringly.
No, that wasn’t it. Shut up. my emotional mind answered.
((Can I have something going through my shoulder, like a bunny knife? I want to, but if that’s too violent, then just a bunny claw…))
((243-Sure, whatever you want.))
The bunnies looked at one another once more. Then with a signal, the gates of the fortress swung slowly open. TGYPWYA dragged us behind him through the castle gates and into a menacing chamber, lined with posters and emblems proclaiming hot-pink bunnyness. As we stumbled slowly through the chaber, five or six bunnies flanking us, I heard Avalongirl let out a small shriek of pain. I spun against my ropes to see a large bunny sticking a knife through her shoulder. “No!” I cried, roughly kicking the bunny aside with my foot.He hit his head against the wall and was still and very silent. The other five bunnies turned to look at me with menace on their tiny faces. I heard a scuffling by my legs, and then there was the sound of a blaster shot. I felt something red-hot brush across my leg, grazing my calf, like a thousand burning knives cutting into my skin. Looking down, I saw a lazer burn and a patch of leg that was badly burned.
“That will teach you to rebel, foolish bipedsâ€, tittered the lead bunny .
“Foolish rebels, foolish rebels, foolish rebels…†chorused the bunnies as the line of ‘captives’ struggled down the passage. I tried to fight the pain, and cursed myself for not expecting this kind of a thing to happen to us. We were their prisoners in their evil pink eyes, and they were going to treat us that way!
As we staggered through corridor after corridor, it seemed that the bunnies were never going to leave us. But then there was a loud voice that came from somewhere around the ceiling.
“ALL BUNNIES AND TROOPS REPORT TO BASE! ALL BUNNIES AND TROOPS! PREPARE FOR ATTACK!†The loud command echoed through the hallways, and with one final look of mistrust, the bunnies left us, scampering down a corridor to the left, while we turned down one that went to the right.
“Thank goodnessâ€, sighed TGYPWYA, quickly rushing us into a large room on one side of the hall. “We have to get you out of here.” he looked meaningfully at Avalongirl and myself. ” The rest of the rebels will be arriving soon. Here, just try to stay calm and don’t think about the pain. We’ll get you into a medical wing of one of the ships as soon as the resistance comes.â€
“No way!†I shoved away his helping hand. “I came here to destroy these bunnies, and I don’t care if I’m in pain, that’s what I’m going to do! Now who’s with me?†I pulled my collapsible blaster from my pocket, inflated it and raised it to the air.
I followed ZVX to the bunny fortress in my beloved space craft. My Titanite friend has disapeared, and there were no time to think about her. I began to accelerate… and hoped that everyhting will go as planned…
((Wow, a lot has happened.)) The attack had started! I quickly summoned our bags and I started to fight. I saw a wall of flame, and threw Leafy’s bag to her. She grinned, and extinguished her flame.
((-241-sure. It shouldn’t be too hard.))
“They’re in the fortress. Hold on!” I roared as the shuttle whizzed forward. All around, metallic clicks sounded as the Resistance cocked their weapons. Laser sights flicked on as we cruised around the bunny fortress. I punched the shuttle into a steep dive, and we crashed down on the grounds.
~ ~ ~
Instantaneously, a swarm of helibunnies burst from the forbidding doors. Beams of electricity shot through the air, bunnies and humans alike. I leaped out of the cockpit, slashing with a firing blaster. Bunnies dropped from the sky as I shot them; but now, the bunnies were going in for a different tactic, and it just happened to be effective: they would swarm over the sides, blowing out windows and other weak spots in the build, then whip back up out of range.
~ ~ ~
TGYPWYA and the “captives” entered the room the bunnies had lead them to. To call it a room was a bit too vaguely descriptive. Maybe a court would be better, and at the center, sat William.
"AND WHAT, EXACTLY, DO WE HAVE HERE?He hissed.HUMANS?"TGYPWYA walked up to William and knelt. “High Magentaness, it is as you requested; the Resistance at your feet, and their most powerful weapon at your side.” He lifted the fake Bio-Bomb up to William. “This is it, my lord. They were planning something with it, something to damage your kindly rule. They plan it no more. This is the Resistance.” TGYPWYA forced the captives up to William. “They are a disorganized rabble, unable to attack their own nose. Do not worry.”
William reached out his claw and pressed it into the thumb pad for the bomb. The light glowed blue…
~ ~ ~
At that moment, I reached my hand out, stretching towards the pad on the real bomb…
Everytning is wrong ,we were all going to die.. NO we are not! Said my stubborn side. Well stubborn side ,your not the brightest crayon in the box are you?My sensible side retorted.
((What about post 246? I’ll say that 247 happened, not 246.))
I almost fell down. Something was really wrong! Through a red haze, I faintly saw Aggrifishi stumble and fall to her knees.
I tried to grab on to Kokonilly, and would of fallen if she hadn’t grabbed me.
I heard a metallic click and felt something on the back of my neck…
((I hate no Internet. I’m just going to vanish till we get somewhere understandable….sorry everyone..))
((Avalongirl- I’m in the rebel ship; I’m not a captive.))
I heard TGYPWYA’s conversation to Willam through the small recording transmitter in his communication card- we had it broadcasting into the ship. I pulled my hand away from the ATTACK button in time to see ZVX reach for the real bio bomb ((can we say too much Artemis Fowl?)). ((By the way, what happened to the small ship that was coming our way?))
I could hardl see. There was something terribly wrong. All of the captives fell to the ground at William’s paws, as a red haze surrounded us. The fake bio-bomb was SUPPPOSED to knock out all of the bunnies, not all of the humans! I staggered and dropped to my knees, hardly breathing. I tried to break free of the rope as planned, but I was getting weaker and weaker. As I looked around me, all of the rest of the rebels fell like me. I could hear William laughing, and the bunnies tittering in glee. ‘Oh, please, you guys, hurry!’ I prayed. ‘We need you now more than ever.’ The plan was going terribly wrong…
The bunnies that had attacked had been defeated. Now my finger was just hovering over the pad on the bomb, when the com. card in my pocket buzzed again. I whipped it out: more video, though rather restricted, as from what I could tell, the card was hovering around TGYPWYA’s pocket, ready to slip back in at a moment’s notice.
I plugged the card into the screen hanging above the back of my seat. The screen displayed everything from the card but in glorious color and sound, showing exactly what we needed to see: around William’s shoulders hung something, and I thought I knew just what it was…
~ ~ ~
TGYPWYA twisted his hand as he watched William. The card swiveled, and he was sure, was sending to audio-video files to the rebel shuttle; undoubtedly they would broadcast it onto the entire ship.
~ ~ ~
I reached for the real bio-bomb. The rockets that would fire it were ready. All it took now was one single push…
I weakly nudged TGYPWYA’s foot, crawling slowly. “Hel-p-pp…us…” I weakly whispered.
I knew, in the back of my mind, that we had to get out of there-now, and right now. With all of the strength I had left in me, I reached slowly for my blaster, feet away from me on the floor. I saw that all of the other bunnies in the room had gone limp, all but William. I grabbed the trigger and with a single twitch of my finer I blasted the ropes off of us. For some reason, I could stand. The ropes must have had been weighing us down! I staggered to my feet, blaster in hand. “Hello, bunny breath”, I said, pointing my blaster at William’s head. “Prepare to die.” Then, I felt my hand twist back on itself. I screamed as I saw William focusing his power striaght at my hand. “Avalongirl! Koknilly! RUN!” I screamed louder, as the roomseemed to collapse in on us. “Get out! Fast! We’ve got to go, this place is going to blow!”
((Could someone please tell me what’s going on? I’m kinda clueless.))
((We’re attacking the bunnies and trying to destroy them.))
I saw the helibunnies burst out at us. I immediately started shooting the heck out of them, actually quelling the attack somewhat, but my heart was sinking. If they were attacking us out here, then our “defeat” must have been discovered. I hoped the fake captives were getting out of there fast. I didn’t have the teleport bots with me and even if I did, it would be too risky to use them. We just had to hold out until everyone got back into the main attack ship so that we could fire the bio-bomb into the fortress. I hoped we had some backup bombs. If the helibunnies hit the bomb we were about to fire, then it might not work or worse detonate on us.
“ZVX! WAIT! Don’t hit that button yet! What if pushing it hurles our friends into an even more psychotic episode? What if it actually kills them? I mean, look at what’s happening now!” I guestured at the monitor where their plight was playing out. “Is this what is supposed to happen?”
((ACK!- that last post was from me, NOT groundhog.))
((All right, 246 is happening now.))
I don’t understand why this is called bunny apocolypse.
263-
read it and you will understand 
I grabbed Kokonilly’s hand, and ran as fast as I could, seeing as I had been stabbed in the shoulder…
Then I somehow ran into a dead end and was surrounded by bunnies. I pulled out my blaster, and my (as I liked to call it) electro-whip*.
“Let’s fight back to back!” I shouted to Kokonilly. The doorway was closed, and there were maybe 500 bunnies in there?
*-(A whip shooting off sparks at the tip, and it’s fairly powerful.)
((If this was a fantasy novel, I’d discover my hidden power, and the building would explode in a half-sphere of bright white light.))
“It’s programmed. It won’t destroy human flesh, the electrodes that control it won’t allow for the concentrated solinium to kill anything other than a particular kind of skin and fur type. The bunnies are very different from all other creatures; they can’t stand contact with something that powerful. I’m waiting, I’m not ready to fire yet. I’m just ready and waiting for when TGYPWYA sends the signal.”
“Okay, fine.” *takes deep breath* “Sorry, just a little nervous here.” Then ZVX’s com-card flashed.
I dashed as fast as I possibly could after Kokonilly and Avalongirl, dragging TGYPWYA after me. “Where could they be?” I shouted, fighting my way past bunny after bunny. There were hundred of them now, swarming over us, and I couldn’t see any way out. Then, there was a burst of light and I saw Avalongirl whipping past the line of bunnies surrounding us with Kokonilly at her heel. “You didn’t think we would forget you, now did you? Quick, let’s go!”, she shouted as we heard the scampering of more magenta troops coming our way. “We’ve got to find the ships before they set the bomb!”
The card flashed. A text was rapidly appearing on the screen. it said:
zvx, R u rede to bom te frtres? wer beng chasd by hpbs plz bom it. tgypwya.This was followed by more video: the “captives” were sprinting down a tunnel, with screams and shouts echoing above. I heard TGYPWYA’s voice: “Stick together. Hopefully their going to bomb this soon. We just need to get–RUN! STICK TOGETHER!”
The video was getting quite blurry now. It showed a squad of black bunnies chasing the captives down the tunnel. Something whooshed past–some sort of explosion, I presumed–and exploded as it hit the wall. Laser beams whistled through the air as both sides fired on each other. In the middle of the drama that we were visualizing, I remembered.
“FIRE!”
((We are now right near the fortress))
When ZVX hit the button, the bio-bomb hovered, the light turned green, and it was ejected out a side panel. In the split second that the panel was open, I heard faint yells issuing from the fortress. The drama from the com-card was only increasing the evidence that our fellows were in dire peril.
“Should anyone go down there to try and help them? Like to direct them to the ships? If so, I’d volunteer.”
((Summary Please? Sorry! I got a ban for a little while!))
“I’m going out to help them!” I said. “Someone take my place!” I pushed a button on my armrest. My chair dropped through the floor into a small submarine-type vehicle, which ejected itself from the main ship. Using the ship as cover, I sped around to where the other ships were. I ejected a towrope from the tail of my sub and used it to drag the ships behind me. Then I located the tunnel where the “captives” were trying to escape. A quick burst from the laser on the nose of my sub confused the airlock at the end of the tunnel into opening up, allowing me to whip the towline around, tossing the ships into the airlock. The doors closed behind the ships, and a sudden wave indicated that the water had drained out of there. I stayed there, preparing to attack the bunnies that would no doubt give chase.
We were sprinting now, as fast as was possible. The black bunnies were firing lasers at will, ands the beams of red-hot light were bouncing off the walls and destroying everything in their paths. I shrieked as one beam missed my head by less than an inch, and I could hear the others screaming as we ran for our lives. As we were running, a voice came from the overhead speakers in the ceiling. “Fools! Biped rebels, you will never escape alive!” William’s voice echoed on my eardrums as I blasted bunnies out of my way with a fierce intensity. Then, I saw TGYPWYA texting to the base. “Quick! I shouted. “Tell them to fire the bomb! NOW!”
I somersaulted over 5 bunnies, firing as I went. Then I heard Aggrifishi shout “Quick! Tell them to fire the bomb! NOW!â€
I had sadly not realized that there were more bunnies coming. A wave of them poured in, separating me from the others! They pressed me into a small room, blocking the doorway! I jumped up and grabbed some pipes on the ceiling.
I realized that the door had sealed. Oh, cake. Cake, cake, CAKE!!! I silently yelled. Then I screamed for help, blasting some holes in the door.
“Quick, let’s go!” I shouted, runing wildly and blasting bunnies. Then I heard Avalongirl scream loudly as a wave of bunnies carried her into a small room and the door shut with an ominous BANG! “HELP!” she screamed as the door shut. I heard laser blasts that reverberated off the door and shot holes through it. I realized that she was trying to bl;ast the lock off. I jumped over a horde of bunnies who shot at me from all directions. “Agrrrfishi! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” screamed Kokonilly, not noticing that Avalongirl had disssappeared. But I held up my blaster and, with a single shot, blasted the handle off the thick metal door. I swung open, releasing a wave of black bunnies upon wich Acvalongirl was sitting, riding the out the door and shooting down at them at the same time.
((It’s AvalonGirl. Capital G.))
“Thanks, Agrrrfishi! I thought I was done for!” I panted, standing on top of a mountain of defeated bunnies. I pulled her up, and we both scaled the pipes and hid on top, sniping at bunnies.
((Sorry for misspelling, AvalonGirl.
))
We quickly shot at the bunnies, creating a commotion among them, because they couldn’t see us. TGYPWYA was hiding behind a marble statue of William and firing at the approaching magenta troops. But they soon discovered his position and shot the head off the statue by mistake, in the haste to get rid of us. As we fought, a subtle instinct in the back of my mind told me that Kokonilly was missing. I looked wildly around the room, but could see no trace of her. “AvalonGirl!” I cried. “Where’s Kokonilly?”
((276~In fairness, you spelled Agrrrfishi’s name “Aggrifishi” in post 274.))
The bomb shot into the fortress. For a split second, there was nothing, then….
BANG.
Blue flames shot throughout the fortress, bunnies froze as the solinium blaze swirled around them…
A strong paw gripping the back of my neck brought me back to reality.
“No more of your tricks human.”
I turned, and immediately rather wouldn’t have. Behind me, there stood William, a blaster pointed at my back. “Very technological, aren’t you, human? These will prove very useful to me and my troops. Our engineers shall make improvements, undoubtedly; but your original design should remain intact…the last record of the resistance…what a fitting example for those who oppose me. Bio-bombs…how very…quaint.” ((William should win an award as about fifth most evil character of all time.))
I struggled, but William, though my same size, was blockier, stronger, and faster. He easily dodged my punch and merely tightened his hold when my foot slammed into his leg.
“Of course, you didn’t have the right idea there, you made it so it just swirled through the fortress and…did nothing. Absolutely nothing.”
As I fiercely kicked a bunny out of my way and slid back down the pile, I felt a sudden pain in my chest. I knew that something had gone wrong. Blue flames shout past me, freezing the bunnies, and then… They reawoke, moving, breathing. As I stared,startled by what I saw, I heard loud thumps of enormous bunny feet. ‘He’s here?” I tought to myself. Then, I grabbed, AvalonGir; and pulled her with me behind the bunny pile. I saw TGYPWYA(ZVX?) standing stock still, a blaster to his back. He was not looking towards us, so I knew that William must have been behind him. “The bomb didn’t work?!?” hissed AvalonGirl fiercly. “No”, I whispered. “We’re done for.”
((sorry for the typos, I’m a little out of it right now.
))
((Post 271? Please?))
((281- Ok, the “captives” are in the fortress running from bunnies, ZVX and others are ready in the ship or something like that with the bomb button, and everything is going wrong))
…What the @!#$ happened since I’ve been gone?
((Not sure. Too much.))
I thanked the muffins that I had managed to pile up the bunnies like I did. “AvalonGirl! Where’s Kokonilly?” Agrrrfishi hissed.
“I don’t know!” I whispered, starting to panic. “She was with me right after the escape, but I didn’t realize-”
Then I heard a loud, piercing scream. “That must be Kokonilly!” I hissed. We sneaked around, so we were looking straight into the room the screams had been coming from.
Had.
We both noticed Kokonilly. She was lying on the floor, her hands and feet tied, and she was gagged. She didn’t notice us. And that was probably for the better, since she was surrounded by huge black bunnies…Ok, there was only 5, but they were BIG. With a capital B-I-G.
I was walking with the others when a large furry paw covered my mouth. I struggled and bit and everything, but there were five bunnies. They took me to a room and I started screaming like crazy. I can scream, really scream when I want to. They gagged me, tied me… it happened rather quickly. Anyway, they tied me up and threw me on the floor. I thought I saw Avalongirl and Agrrrfishi, but I dismissed it when I promptly passed out.
((That sounded like an interview-type thing…))
285-((Only the last paragraph! *re-reads note*
OH, your post…Yeah, your post really did…
And it’s AvalonGirl. CAPITAL G!))
((ZVX- you’re writting for TGYPWYA, correct?))
Groundhog went for the fortress. I watched her small ship enter the fortress. Then things went horribly wrong.
William’s face came onto the large monitor in the front that was connected to TGYPWYA’s com-card.
“Very technological, aren’t you human?” I shuddered. His voice sent major fear messages through my body- I had never really heard his voice like this.
“ZVX! We have to get in there now! ((don’t forget about the alien reinforcements!!!!!!))
((-287 yes. He asked me to in…*scrolls up*…post #241))
TGYPWYA! We need to get in there. Come on!” I whipped out my blaster and shoved open the door. The Bio-bomb was still floating its remains though the fortress, but the doors of the fortress were shut.
“the door’s bolted. Grenades should do it.”
A shower of blazing grenades hit the door. It exploded with a crash. And behind it was the giant hall. Statues of William and other bunnies of great respect were standing on either side…that was when I remembered our otherworldly friends.
I pulled out the com. card and dialed earthgirl.
A voice came through it:
“Yes?”
“Time to bring in the aliens. We need the reinforcements. Hurry!”
“I’ll have them.”
I closed the connection.
“Come on! TGYPWYA and the rest need help.”
((286 – Sorry!
Meh. I’m in mortal danger again. That happens a lot, I guess.
))
My radio, which had a weak connection to a reciever in the main ship, startled me when ZVX shouted about TGYPWYA and the rest needing help. I guessed that meant that they couldn’t reach the ships and were in major trouble. I turned up the volume on my radio and shouted into it. “I think I can get through the airlock!” I said. “Can you guys send anyone who’s stunproof to help me out?”
“What are we going to DO?!?” I said, a little bit too loudly. William, who had begun to shake TGYPWYA roughly by the hair, turned to face in our direction. “Oh bad. Oh, bad, bad, bad, bad…” I kept chanting inside my head. But William seemed to dismiss the noise, as he couldn’t see us hidden behind a large stained wood cabinet that held portraits of bunny dictators past.
“I have an idea”, said AvalonGirl very softly. “We should sneak in, do away with those giant bunnies, and then we can rescue TGYPWYA.”
“But what if William’s bunnified or hurt him by then?†I shuddered convulsively as bad thoughts floated through my mind.
“It’s a risk, but if we get Nilly fast enough, we should have enough time to save TGYPWYA.â€
“Where are those reinforcements when you need them?†I groaned. We picked up our blasters and slowly made our way to the door of the room where Kokonilly lay tied up on the floor.
“When I give the signal, shootâ€, whispered AvalonGirl. Kokonilly seemed to be going into a vegetative state.
“Quick!†I cried. “They’re going to bunnify her!†I started to panic.
AvalonGirl shushed me as we held our weapons at the ready. “Ready, aim…†she whispered with a tremor in her voice.
“FIRE!†There was a loud scream that echoed through the room from AvalonGirl’s mouth, and then the blasters fired long bolts of laser beam out into the area, hitting bunnies left and right, knocking them senseless to the floor. It only took a matter of moments to get them all on the ground, and when they were completely out of it, I rushed over to Koknilly and pulled the gag off her. Then, AvalonGirl and I proceeded to untie her.
“Thank goodness! I though I was…†Kokonilly stammered, clutching her head in her hands. Then, she collapsed to the floor, unconscious.
“Nilly!†I cried, shaking her by the shoulders. “Nilly, wake up!†But she was spawled across the floor and not moving an inch.
“They must have given her an extra-large dose of zombification, but something in her has become immune to itâ€, said AvalonGirl quickly. “If only we could wake her up…â€
((William is so evil. You MBers have a real talent for devising juicy, nasty villains.))
(( (292) I wonder if William has a Ph.D. in horribleness. ))
((* is not sure whether this is a compliment or not* Thank you!
293-That seems likely… I should probably be worried if it’s true..))
(((293, 294) I’d say he’s a full Professor of Horribleness, and chairrabbit of Leporine University’s Department of Horribleness Studies.))
((My character was outside when Kokonilly’s hypnosis was reversed.))
“Kokonilly! Kokonilly, wake up!” Agrrrfishi whispered, with tears running down her face. I bit my lip.
“I took a course in how to reverse bunny zombification a few years ago, but we never tried it out for real. It said something about this kind of thing, though…Human hypnosis can help, but neither of us have studied it…well, I did, but not that much…I’ll tell you how to. It might not work, I haven’t practiced, and the class told you how to do it…for fun…”
I quickly whispered to Agrrrfishi what I had learned.
((295-GASP! What are we dealing with, a mastermind?!
))
“That…that just might work, actually…” I said, listening to AvalonGirl’s plan. “It’s our only hope, anyway. Here, can you try what you’ve learned on her?” I waited and watched as AvalonGirl closed her eyes tightly. Then, after a few moments, she opened them as wide as was possible and leaned over Kokonilly, staring at her with an intense gaze.
Its the end of the word as we know it, its the end of the world as we know it, and i feel fiiiinnnneeee! thats great it start with an earthquake, birds and snakes and airplanes lenny bruce is ot afraid, EYE OF A HURRICANE LISTEN TO YOURSELF…..TRAils offffff…..
((I didn’t want there to be 5 hypnotists, but I’m not that good. When the bunny presence was removed from my mind, it helped me with my hypnosis.))
Before I let myself go, I asked “You want to try? I told you how to.” I didn’t wait for her to answer.
My mindshape suddenly appeared in Kokonilly’s mind. There were 2 of the black bunnies holding Kokonilly’s mindshape down, while another sprayed tar all over the place! My mindshape drew her electro-whip and destroyed the bunnies. Suddenly, I felt like my head was about to explode!
TO BE CONTINUED…
((Oh. William IS turning out to be rather evil.
))
I sighed, put my head in my hands, and mumbled before I started to go to sleep. I realized fuzzily that it was a coma… then I got pushed down and it turned black… everything was black… there was a flash of light… then…
I watched intently as AvalonGirl’s face became passive. I could tell that her mindshape was interacting with that of Kokonilly’s. Then all of a sudden, she began to convulse wildly. “Avalon! What’s going on? Get out of there, now! Snap out of it!” I clapped my hands in front of her face and screamed at her. Nothing seemed to work. I summoned up all of my courage, knowing that there was only one thing left that I could do. I pacified my mindshape and dove into Kokonilly’s. Whyen I entered her mind, I saw that there were no bunnies, but a new mindshape in the form of William was appearing rapidly. It was shooting pink lightning from it’s paws and laughing insanely. “Let her go, you stupid housepet!†I cried, and with a sweep of my hand I made a blaster appear from thin air. I began to shoot at William’s mindshape, dodging the beams of lightning that he was transferring to me now. As I did a flip over Kokonilly, who was beginning to move again, he drew a laser sword from nowhere and began to swipe at me with it. I drew up my own laser and we began to duel. “Foolish biped…†his mindshape admonished me. “You are not stronger than me. You cannot succeed.†For a moment, I let my guard down. That was all William needed. With one swift movement, I saw him swing the laser through my leg. “Ack!†I cried
((This mindshape fighting is so weird+cool.))
))
((300- no kidding
((sorry for double post!!))
I followed ZVX through the blasted doors, pulling down the visor on my suit. I could hear a faint whisper of William’s voice coming from the left hand corridor.
“Foolish biped…”
“ZVX, I’m going to go camouflage. Does anyone else have a suit that could come help me blast Willam off TGYPWYA? If not, I’ll just go now.”
I fell to the surface of Kokonilly’s mind, clutching my leg, as William laughed evilly above my head. “You will be destroyed, rebel, along with all of your little comrades!â€, he yelled with a menace in his voice. Behind me, I heard a slight scuffling as AvalonGirl’s mindspace got up and crept behind me. Because William was too busy laughing evilly, he didn’t notice her whispering to me, “We have to leave now. Kokonilly is returning to consciousness. Come along.â€
“Noâ€, I whispered. “I’ve got to get William’s mindset out of here before he takes over her mind.â€
“You’re too weakened by his laser wound to do anything of the sort. I’ll get himâ€, said AvalonGirl. But as she tried to raise her sword, she crumpled to the ground again. “You’ve been hurt by his power. You need to go. Save TGYPWYA. It’s more important. I promise, I’ll have Kokonilly all right and get rid of William in no time.†I looked up at her, sending the message that everything would be fine.
AvalonGirl looked back at me, not reassured, but left Kokonilly’s mind without another word. She disappeared right before William turned to face me again.
“And now, fool, prepare to be defeated!†He turned on me once again, laser raised high, but I shot from the ground like a rocket and met his sword with a flourish. We dueled like never before. I staggered under the weight of my damaged leg, fighting to keep his laser away from my heart. I jabbed closer and closer up his furry torso until he finally weakened. In that split second of rest that he took, I stabbed my laser through his heart. “No!†cried his mindset, as it faded away into nothing. Then, I collapsed to the ground.
Kokonilly awoke suddenly behind me. “Agrrrfishi? Wh-what are you doing here? How is this possible?â€
“Don’t think about itâ€, I said. “That’s about the worst thing you can do right now. Just relax. Come back to the present. I’m coming with you. Go back…â€
I felt a strange relaxation as Kokonilly and I floated back to consciousness. We stood up, blasters held high in the air in case of a surprise attack. “You got rid of William in my headâ€, said Kokonilly as we quietly made our way down an empty corridor. “Does that mean he’s gone for good?â€
“No wayâ€, I replied. “He’s just a little bit less quick witted. We should have an advantage over him now, that we wouldn’t have had before. However, since he wounded me and AvalonGirl, we’re not going to be as mentally strong. If we get too badly hurt, we could be done for.â€
We crept down the empty passage for a few moments. Then, there was a footstep behind us. We spun on the spot. And then…
“Agrrrfishi? Kokonilly?†A familiar voice greeted us as we turned to face another allie.
TGYPWYA:
The reinforcements burst into the room with a bang. William attacked me, slashing with his blaster at the Resistance. A few of the others began slipping up onto the marble statue where William held me…
ZVX, myself:
I could see William holding TGYPWYA and firing on the Resistance. this had to be stopped; I couldn’t lose TGYPWYA, or….what? Said a snide voice at the back of my mind. What? it repeated.
My mind attacked the voice as I took aim with the laser sights on my blaster at William’s neck….
That gave me just enough focus to realize he had gotten into my mind.
“G-groundhog?” I stammered, staring at the familiar face with wonder and ecstaticity in my mind. “Oh, thank goodness! The resistance has arrived! So where is everyone? Quick, William has TGYPWYA!”
“Calm down, everything’s fine. Everyone is here. We’re working on saving TGYPWYA, we heard your conversation through the com card. That was how we knew you needed help.”
“Groundhog, the bomb didn’t work. We’re going to have to do away with this entire fortress without a mass weapon!”
“It’s going to be fine. We have a plan…”
As I steered my ship into the airlock, I saw several others approaching as well. I assumed those were some non-Earthlings who were immune to stun guns. But the people coming towards me were all Earthling Resistance members. We blasted our way out of the airlock and sneaked down the corridor. I saw Agrrrfishi sprawled on the floor of a side room, barely awake. Kokonilly was also there, but appeared to be in much worse shape. She looked like she’d been through a sleepless marathon or something. Agrrrfishi, on the other hand, looked mostly okay, just exhausted and with a nasty purple bruise around one leg. “Guys?†I whispered tentatively. “I know the bomb didn’t work, but I have another plan. This does mean that I can’t help you walk out of here. I’m going to radio someone to help you out–the ships are in the airlock around the corner, and they still work.†I put out a call for someone to help them to the ships, and then dashed out of the room. I switched my bunnyproof suit to invisible mode (I had upgraded again) and sprinted down the hallway. If anyone had been inside my helmet they would have noticed that I was humming “We Didn’t Start The Fire.†And if anyone had been in my head, they would have noticed that I had modified the lyrics slightly, to “I’m gonna start a fire…†I ran until I saw an elevator bank. One of the doors opened, and a stream of bunnies came out. I leapt over them into the elevator and pressed the button for “Basement.†Luckily for me, no one else entered the elevator while I was in there. The doors opened, revealing a darkened room full of computer servers…and a bunch of electrical boxes. After ascertaining that there were stairs out of the place, I pulled out my blaster and began shooting up the room. Soon the electronics were fizzling and sparking, and the electrical boxes were in flames. Hopefully the fire would spread to the rest of the building through the wires. That done, I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs would carry me. When I arrived back where everyone else was, the fighting was still going, and more bunnies had arrived, so things weren’t going too well.
As Groundhog left the room, I knew that everything was not going to go to plan. I shook Kokonilly gently by the arm. “Come on”, I said. “We’ve got to go find AvalonGirl. We’ll have to save TGYPWYA some way or another, and then there’s no telling what’s going to happen.” She looked very worried and paler than ever. “B-but what if we get zombified again? i don’t think I can take much more of this…” I helped her, wobbling, to her feet. “It’s a risk we’re going to have to take. Let’s go”, I said boldly, and the two of us kept moving the oppoiste direction, making our way to where AvalonGirl and TGYPWYA must have been.
((judging by the fact that Groundhog now has an invisibilty option on her suit, I think I will just go camo and follow everyone who has now run toward William))
I switched my suit onto camo mode and followed the rest of the resistance toward William and TGYPWYA. I sawZVX pull out his blaster, and then shudder slightly. He still had the blaster pointed at William’s neck, but that shudder… ‘Oh no!’ I thought to myself, ‘I think William is in ZVX’s mind!’ I hurriedly pulled out my blaster, inching myself across the wall so that I wouldn’t show up- camo is not complete invisibility after all. I reached the statue directly next to William and aimed my blaster at his neck, the weakest point of his armor. Unfortunately, William seemed to become aware that someone else was watching him. His head swiveled around in my direction. I held myself still, pressed against the statue, praying that he wouldn’t see me. He looked down at his neck where (curses!) my blaster’s laser dot still stood. He seemed to be putting two and two together. Knowing that if I waited a minute longer, I’d be dead or worse, I let off a single shot. It hit his neck, and he lurched, dropping TGYPWYA in the process. TGYPWYA crawled away, but William got up again, seemingly unscathed.
He turned his head in my direction again and his voice made my blood run cold.
“Foolish biped! You just made me stronger…â€
I looked down at my blaster, realizing too late that I’d used the old one by accident. I had reached my hand down to the wrong one. It appeared that William could absorb the force of the old blasters and use it to strengthen his power. William noticed the movement, and then noticed me. He snarled slightly and reached out a paw with lightning speed, grabbing me by my arm, simultaneously switching off the camo mode on my suit by accident. I flickered into visibility, thrashing, trying to break loose of his grip. Thanks to my visor, he couldn’t enter my mind, but the helmets aren’t exactly soundproof. He spoke to me again, his voice terrifying.
“Don’t you see now, human? Resistance is useless… you and your kind are finished.†He reached out another paw toward my visor…
((sorry if this is a double post, but does anyone else think that William is starting to sound a bit like the Witch King?))
((Witch King? Who the heck is the Witch King? The supreme Death Muncher, or what?))
((The Witch King is the head Ringwraith in Lord of the Rings — the one who fights Éowyn outside the walls of Minas Tirith.))
Baylee looked around confused. William, TGYPWYA, Kittymine. She took out a bunny knife from her pocket, the one she was about to put in the suit she had been making, and sunck up behind him. She lashed out at his neck blindly.
…to find that it was locked, sealed, unopenable, etc. William tried to smash it open, but all he got for his work was a sore paw- tough plastic polymers can do that to a bunny. He snarled in frustration, but then an evil grin (and I mean evil ) crossed his pink features. William modulated his voice to that of a black hypno bunny- velvety, terrifying, and entrancing (it still sounds like him though).
“Your will is mine, human… you cannot resist me.”
I fought against his voice, pressing all the buttons on my suit that I could reach in search of one that would activate earplugs in my helmet- at least I hope Groundhog thought to put in earplugs. Unfortunately, I didn’t get very far- William grabbed me in both paws, pinning my arms to my sides.
“Hold still!†he hissed, his voice terrible. I froze instinctively. He chuckled softly.
“You see? Already your will is leaving you…foolish biped.†A blackness of doubt began to form in my mind, taking the shape of William, his words echoing in my ears.
“You cannot resist me…you cannot resist me…you cannot resist…â€
William’s mindshape was weakening; I supposed it was due to the fact he was attempting to control two minds at once, but he hung on as my mind tried to throw him off…and as if in slow motion, William pounced on Kittymine, Attempting to rip off her helmet. My own helmet had ripped off by a bunny as I had entered the hall, but what did I have to lose?
I picked up the fallen blaster. It was heavy, still containing some power, buzzing slightly. Perfect.
I suddenly lunged at William and cracked the blaster on the back of his neck. He staggered, but lashed out with his free paw. The force that collided with my chest sent me flying through the air, only to land on…
Kokonilly and I arrived at the scene to find a horde of bloggers attacking Willisam. TGYPWYA was free, and hee stumbled as fast as was possible over to our new hiding spt behind a bunny-shaped suit of armor. “It’s no use”, he panted heavily. “Everything we do to him only makes him stronger. As we watched the scene, I saw ZVX try to crack William’s neck with his blaster. But William struck back, sending him flying straight towards us. He landed smack on the suit of armor, placing us in plain viewe of William. He turned his head away from Kittymine to face me, laughing evilly. “Ah, the foolish human who tried to kill me. Prepare to meet your end.” With that, he turned and pointed his blaster straight at my unportected head.
((uh, guys, the helmets can’t really be ripped off- they’re sealed onto our heads with internal breathing stuff. And while my last post is happening, Baylee is lashing out with the knife.))
I faintly heard blasters shooting, and William talking to others. I felt light-headed, dizzy, and as though a large black mass was threatening to engulf me.
((sorry for double post- I had to exit from the computer at high speed.))
I heard the William in my head whisper, “You are mine, human, just give in to me. You are weak, I can tell. You have no strength to fight me anymore. Let go now, human…let go…”
I was tired, so tired; the world seemed to spin in a spiral, pulling me toward its center. The last thing I remember seeing before I blacked out was my sister’s face, burning with anger at something I couldn’t see.
I braced myself, preparing for the worst and expecting the end. But then I saw William’s eyes leave mine, turning back to Kittymine with a bright red light burning behind his eyes. She fell to the ground passing out. “He’s going to take over all of our minds if we don’t do something!” I cried. But as Kitty mine fell, William pressed a button on his small watchlike bracelet. He said into it, “BUNNY TROOPS! Prepare for attack! Haed to the west hangar immediately!” I could hear the pattering of bunny footsteps. “Quick!” yelled ZVX. “Man your weapons. Prepare for attack!”
((Wow! So many posts since yesterday! I’m kinda lost…and I’m not wearing a suit…just a skintight teal bodysuit…))
I had taken a circular route around the building, tying my hair back into a ponytail. Yes, my hair was still obvious, being bright red with turquoise streaks…and my bright teal bodysuit…
I entered the next room.
I noticed Kittymine fainting, and William pointing his blaster straight at Agrrrfishi’s head. “NOOO!!!” I screamed. “YOU WON’T HURT ANYBODY!!”
I pulled my electro-whip out, whirring it in deadly patterns. My bloodlust had risen…
((I’m a big Redwall fan right now, so I’m giving my character the Bloodwrath. Google bloodwrath-first two results.))
The bunny knife hit William’s neck. Right when it made contact, a tiny trickle of dark pink blood appeared. Baylee had made it a wide strike so it should have sliced his neck, but only the smallest sign of blood. He glared at me angrily. “You are all foolish, stupid humans. You will all die. I don’t care how much you strike me with your useless weapons. You will all perish. Gone.” Just then, AvalonGirl ((is that right? Is it a capital G?)) seemed to go berserk. Baylee recognized it. “Bloodwrath,” was all she said in reply to William. And she sliced at his face and leaped while she was free. She did not want to get in the way of AvalonGirl, no way, no how.
I had a terrible dream of a fight going on inside my head, which I suspected was true. The fact was confirmed when I awoke woozily and saw Agrrrfishi standing above me. My mind was still fuzzy as she led me somewhere, where I saw someone… I couldn’t quite remember who… They started talking. I couldn’t really hear anything; my mind was fuzzy and full of static. I saw William – At least, I thought it was William… – pointing a blaster at Agrrrfishi’s head. AvalonGirl pulled out something – a whip, maybe? – and started thrashing it about.
That’s when William turned toward me.
((It’s not really thrashing about. Read the note.))
I noticed William turn towards Kokonilly. I dashed around, parrying his strike, and I stopped conducting it at all. My whip seemed to be covered in lightning! Our weapons moved increasingly faster and faster, and everybody heard the deadly hum.
I parried a strike, thrusting backwards, and throwing William several feet backwards.
((Bloodwrath is hating an enemy so much, that even if they had 10 thousand enemies in front of them, you’d just keep fighting until you got to them.))
((Newbie. I kind of need a plot update…))
My eyes were closed. Since I had seen Claire at the dance, everything had been going nuts. It felt like I was lying on a mat. I smelled tea. Questions were racing through my mind. Where am I? What am I doing here? Who is making that tea? What happened to the school dance?
I opened my eyes. I was in a room overlooking the ocean. Lying opposite me was my cousin Hunter. I didn’t know what we were doing here, but we were here for a reason…
I waited for a few minutes. Then an old man walked in. I never met him before, yet he seemed strangely familiar. He was carrying a pot of tea, which he poured into a cup for my cousin (now awake) and for me. I took my cup and asked in a weak voice, “Where am I?” After several more generic questions like this, I found out I was in the Avatar world, on the outskirts of Ba Sing Se, and that the old man was Iroh.
My cousin asked, “What are we doing here?”
Iroh sighed, and he said, “You are here because you each need to master an element to help save your world. If you don’t, the bunnies will take it over, and conquer all of the universe.”
((Yikes. This is very… confusing.)) Leafy and I were still fighting. Everyone else had mysteriously disappeared. I looked around for Leafy. There, past hundreds of bunnies, was Leafygreen, witha sniggering bunny standing over her. Blood trickled out of a deep wound in her head. She was gasping for breath, and getting paler every second. “OUTTA MY WAY!” I screamed, hurtling through all of the bunnies. Not Leafy, not Leafy… please, please don’t let her be dead…
I lay on the ground, my eyes shut tight and shaking like crazy. Then, I heard AvalonGirl scream and there was a clatter as William’s blaster fell to the floor. I opened my eyes To see AvalonGirl flinging a whip in every direction. I tried to sit up straighter as the sound of scampering bunny feet overwhelmed us. Then…”Foolish..bipeds…foolish…bipeds…” There was a chant from the door to the hangar as a massive amount of strange alien-like bunnies poured upon us. I was drowned in a wave of strange creatures that looked like lime green bunnies with huge red eyes that shot burning beams of light. I screamed as a heat wave passed over me, sent through the eyes of dozens of the overpassing alienites. “Help!” I cried. “Somebody help meeee!”
*flashy effect* *ping* *zap* SLASH POW ZING ZING ZING SLASH CUT DASH.
I had mastered earthbending, and hunter water. We went through a tunnel and ended up on the borderline of NYC. Instantly, the above happened.
“Unnnnnnnnnnnh… Hunter, what just happened?”
“I don’t know. One minute, we’re leaving the tunnel, the next you’re lying on the ground after a bunch of flashes.
((Agrrrfishi and Leafy, you should be safe now.))
My eyes misted with blood, I cut the bunnies off Kokonilly. I turned to Agrrrfishi, noticing she was safe! I growled, and turned my attention back to William.
(((I think I just accidently channeled a superhuman spirit in my last post… hmmm…)))
We walked towards the the heart of the city. We had to be stealthy, of course, zipping from one building to the next. It was a sad sight. There was no one poking their heads out of the buildings for a bit of fresh air. I knew most of them were bunnies, but it was still sad.
Suddenly, we saw a small bunny kid hopping towards us. Hunter tensed up, but I saw something. Something in his eyes. It looked like fear, and almost… worry.
(\The boy’s destiny is coming clear to him. He will realize it soon./)
((…))
(\What is troubling you, Claire?/)
((It just doesn’t seem like he has enough time. And- well… I’m worried about him.))
(\I see…/)
(He will be all right. I can feel it.)
I didn’t have much time to think about it. We were instantly ambushed by a bunny squadron. With our new bending powers, they were a piece of cake. But there were bound to be more. Time to beat feet.
As we ran away from the bunnies and towards… something… I noticed the bunny that we saw was following us. I stopped and said, “Look, I know we didn’t kill you, but-”
Suddenly he spoke. Not with the evil voice of the bunnies that I’d heard of, but a normal voice: “No, it’s not that. It’s just… you seem different from everyone I’ve ever met. All the bunnies turn me down as some sort of worthless failure, and all the good humans I’ve met instantly run away or try to kill me.”
I made up my mind. “Let’s go,” I told him, and we continued running. Suddenly, he zipped ahead of us, heading towards what appeared to be a crater. I shrugged at Hunter and ran after him.
((331-I’m confused. How do you play in with the plot line? Right now we’re in William’s fortress trying to destroy him. Where exactly are you, and who’s Hunter and Claire? *is doubly confuzzled*))
((332 – Check the R&R thread; I’m pretty sure Claire is his crush and Hunter is his cousin.))
((333 – You’re right. Congratulations on paying attention.))
((332 – I don’t know. I’m just some random kid living in his own little world who was suddenly thrown into the Avatar world, then to the edge of da Big Apple. The two guys in my last post are – I dunno, leaders of another small, secret organization trying to help overthrow the bunnies. AAGGH!! GETTING CONFUSED!!!! I guess the bunny is leading me towards a secret entrance in William’s fortress or something.))
(secret message to MBers fortress)
(\Listen… I don’t have much time to talk. Claire and I are here in the secret computer room. The bunnies haven’t found it yet, but we can’t hide here forever./)
((Ian – I know it’s hard for you, and neither of this are ready for this… but you have to help save the world.
…and, this isn’t really the right time, but… I love you. And I always will.))
(\I-Man- You must listen. You have been *bang* chosen. By a spirit. You must *boom* connect with it, or your puzzle will not be *WHAM* complete- AAARRGH…******
(the screen goes blank here)
(((8 – I’m very close to a midget. I could be a spy.)))
((334-ooooooh! Mkay, that works just fine. sorry for not paying more attention.
))
We soon reached the crater, where Tom (the bunny) opened up a secret entrance. “This is a super-secret tunnel that leads to William’s fortress,” he told us. We slid down the ladder and ran through an earthen hallway. Strangely enough, there were no guards. If this worried me and my cousin, it didn’t Tom, who skittered ahead of us down the main tunnel.
Eventually, we came upon another ladder. This one, however, had a coded door. Tom didn’t know the code, so it looked like we were stuck. Suddenly, one of the two voices in my head jumped out: “Foolish.. bipeds.. foolish-” I suddenly knew the password. I climbed up the ladder and entered the two-word insult. Suddenly, the door opened…
The instant we entered through the closet, I felt something big nearby. We traveled through a few rooms, and eventually came upon a window to a big room. We looked in, and saw a huge chemistry lab. There were scientists and chemists everywhere. In the center was one big case that they seemed to desperately need. But why? It was just some vials and disposable syringes…
Suddenly my mind flashed back. Smallpox. FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN. Vaccines. Only one word came out of my mouth. “Biowar.”
(((We’re running out of time…)))
Tom asked, “Biowhata?”
“Biowar. They’re going to kill all the humans who haven’t joined the bunnies.”
“How?”
“Smallpox,” I said, sighing. We were on the verge of destruction. I looked at the box again, and saw a little label: “Boxed-in Boxes: explosion and disease proof inside and out, because we like boxes.”
Very quickly, I came up with a plan. “Tom and Hunter, I need a distraction. Get as far away from here as you can and make it happen.”
They ran off. Two minutes later something exploded. I heard the chemists and scientists run out. I ran in the other exit and grabbed the box of disease vials. I was about to leave when something caught my eye. A tiny thing that looked like a bomb was next to a remote with one button. I hesitated, then grabbed them both and ran.
Avalongirl stepped in front of me and cut William off, then I felt a tremble. Not a physical tremble, but as if time and space bent suddenly. I stood, glassy-eyed, trying to figure out what it was. Then, I got knocked over. “Don’t just stand there, FIGHT!” someone yelled. I stood up, dusted myself off, drew my lightsaber, and flew into battle, fighting like Yoda when he was fighting Dooku. ((Have you seen that? It is amazing…))
I had reached Leafy, and my eyes were brimming with tears. I kicked the bunny who had maimed her away, and kneeled over her. Her face was almost translucent, and was gasping like a fish out of water. Short, quick breaths that came every few seconds. I turned my attention to the wound. It was deep and bloody, spread across her face. I picked her up, and ran to a small side room. I laid her there, and used my Com. Card to give this message to everyone else. “Help! Leafy’s been horribly hurt, and I don’t know what to do!” Then I flashed a picture of her and sent it to them. I hope they get here in time…
My com. card flashed. Leafygreen, dead or horribly wounded. I shuddered at the image on the screen, however my despair was short-lived as William shot me in the back with a blaster.
The first thing I felt when I came to was pain–excruciating, mind-numbing pain. I rolled over, feeling the aftereffects of the laser crushing the bones there; then I remembered: Leafygreen. As good as dead by my hands, since I was the one who brought them in here, told them to give up everything for the sake of a muserly life.
That stung.
We burst through the door. There was Leafygreen and iZvX!, with William standing over them. Hunter rushed to heal them. William pulled out his blaster. Tom jumped toward him.
“STOP!!”
Everyone stopped. I held out the box with one hand, and the remote in the other. “Okay, William, put the gun away. You can shoot, I’ll blow this up, your plan’ll fail.”
I waited. This cannot wait. I thought. I took off my scarf,and wrapped it around my friend’s head. I then did something that helped her stay alive. “Wha.. where am I..” Leafy said in a small, frail voice. “Leafy, stay here. You’re horribly hurt. It was only luck that saved you. I have to go help the others.” “Wait, I want to come with you…” she whispered. “I want to help.” “I fight twice as hard for you.” I said urgently. I ran from the room.
When I saw the bunny shuttle I quickly got into to a minny blaster ship 3000, as I lifted off there was more than one bunny shuttle… Thousands. They imediately started shooting at me and I retaliated, but I was severely outnumbered , and the ping of laser fire was deafening.
One deadly shot broke through the windshield and I felt myself slide into unconiousness…
((343- What the heck?!?! Leafy’s in a side room with me! She and ZVX have no contact since the ginormus fight scene!!!))
(((346 – TIME PARADOX!!! It happens. Get used to it.)))
As Hunter ran off to heal all the wounded, I battled William. He had asked if I was willing to sacrifice my friends (by blowing it up), I showed him the label, and he had dropped the gun.
Then had pulled out a sword. Why was I not surprised?
I pulled my own sword out and battle him through the building. I had never had too much sword experience, but I had – strangely – surprising skill and endurance. An hour later, we ended up in the main control room. Both of us had new endurance… however, we eventually collapsed.
“So what now, I-Man? Are we to be two sword masters locked in an epic battle until judgment day?”
“You know, once my cousin heals everyone, they will no doubt come up here, and I assure you, that will not be pleasant. So you could just surrender.”
I shouldn’t have said that. He lunged at me again, and I stood up.
((347- Pair a docks? Why are you talking about shoes at a time like this?!))
A scream came from the room I left Leafy in. I wheeled around. There in the room, was Leafygreen, standing up. Using one hand to hold my scarf to her head and one to attack, she was doing quite well. The scream had come from a bunny who had his head cut off. I pulled out my sword and helped her fight.
The battle wasn’t looking so good. I decided to resort to my last ditch attack – metalbending. It had took me a long time to learn, but I could do it. I quickly ripped a huge ball of metal out of the wall and held it over him. William smiled and said, “This isn’t over.” He ran to the side of the room and jammed a button. I squished him with the metal ball, then looked at the button. “Uh oh.”
SELF-DESTRUCT & TELEPORT.
As Hunter ran in, a female voice said, “Ten minutes to self-destruct.”
(((346 – Oh, wait. You’re right – I didn’t read the posts thouroughly. Sorry.)))
(((PEOPLE, WE HAVE 10 MINUTES TO GET OUTTA HERE!!!)))
I looked frantically around the room, and found the button I was looking for:
PRISONER/BUNNIFICATION RELEASE
I jammed the button, then shouted into the speakerphone, “Everyone, get to the main gate! Hurry!” As Hunter ran with the crowd in that direction, I ran through the crowd, trying to find someone. I saw her not too far away – Claire. I ran towards her. She saw me, and we held each other for a second. She asked what happened, but I said, “No time to talk! We-”
“Nine minutes to self-destruct.”
After ten minutes of fighting, I heard a small sound. A boom. The boom got louder and louder, until it blasted the door apart. Leafy screamed. I screamed. The bunnies screamed. Everyone screamed. Leafy wiped out the bunnnies in our room with a flame. I didn’t know what to do. “SUMMON A BEEPIN’ TELEPORTER!!!!” Leafy cried. I summoned one, and teleported out with Leafy.
((Wait- William’s dead?))
((292- thank you for the compliment! I’ll try in this post.))
((350- don’t worry. You haven’t been on very long so you’re just working yourself into the storyline.))
“Oh freakin’ bunnies!” I snarled when I heard I-Man shout. “We’re about to blow this up…? NEVER MIND! Just everyone GET IN THE SHUTTLE. If you see Zinc and Leafygreen, get Leafy into the shuttle! For the sake of your friends, RUN!”
At that, a cracking blow to my shoulder caused me to look up. William, and a force of 200 bunnies stood there.
“How easy. I wiped out I-Man and now you…the Resistance is slowly weakening…”
“You…didn’t….the Resistance will stay…strong…”
“Oh but I don’t think so…what did you think, that we hadn’t already infiltrated your troops? It was easy. The com. cards are embedded with constantly filming video cameras….ultra-high resolution…”
I held up my card. “I don’t think that’s going to help you much right now.” A
And with that, I turned on the flash to it’s maximum, and snapped a photo directly in William’s eyes.
A scream of pain rent the air as William’s retinas took a good shock. He staggered, then regained his balance. He turned to his henchbunnies.
“KILL HIM.”
((352- oh, NO! He’s definitely not dead. He just collapsed for a little while. I-Man, let’s obliterate that post, William was our character that just couldn’t die. We can’t shut down Bunny Apocalypse right now.))
(((I think so…)))
Everyone was out. I was about to leave myself when I heard something. It sounded like some sort of sonic wave. I realized too late what it really was. I closed my eyes, bracing for it…
“WHZZ??”
And jumped 2 feet. Getting up, I saw I was in my cousin’s house. He had just jumped as well. “Was that… a dream?” he asked.
As soon as he said dream, my eyes closed again. I was lying on the ground. Someone was nudging me, apparently trying to see if I was awake.
I looked up. And saw the evil eyes of a bunny. ZVX was next to me. William was still there. There were bunnies surrounding us. I looked up to the ceiling and saw something. It was a young girl in a bunnification machine. She was 75% bunny and 25% human now. However, this paled to what I realized a second later.
It was Claire. Instantly, I felt my strength returning. I was channeling the spirit again.

(((354 – um… I didn’t die.
OK, we’ve obviously screwed this up Let’s go back to the beginning, shall we?)))
We arrived in a grassy field. “Where the elk are we?” said Leafy.
I faintly heard I-Man shout “We’re about to blow this up…? NEVER MIND! Just everyone GET IN THE SHUTTLE. If you see Zinc and Leafygreen, get Leafy into the shuttle! For the sake of your friends, RUN!”
I paid no attention. I shoved ZVX back, and pulled my ponytail holder out. “You’ll pay for what you’ve done!” I snarled, my eyes red with blood. I switched my whip. “FULL POWER!!” I screamed, my whip turning into a lighting rod. The wind created from the electricity all rushing to one spot blew everyone several feet backwards. Except for me and William.
((What the? What happened? This is so confusing. So, some people are in a shuttle. Or is it the room? What?
And you can’t control bloodwrath. There’s no “parry” or “slash” when you want. It’s “kill” “kill” “kill” and you kill who ever is in your way. Friend or Foe. It’s kind of like a Rager. You can’t think, and don’t remember it afterward.))
Baylee didn’t care what would happen to her, where she was, or what she was doing. She just slashed where ever there was hot pink.
((362- Leafy and I are in some random grassy field. Leafy has a giant cut on her head, but seems to be all right. I accidently teleported us there.)) “Some random grassy field.” I said simply. “I know that, Zinc! But where in the name of truffles is this random grassy field?!?!” “I have no idea.”
((I can control my Bloodwrath to a certain degree. I don’t think at all. I can push friends out of my way, but I WILL hurt them if they won’t move, and I can push William backwards with raw power.))
I summoned Monty Python, and he used his insane logic to stop AvalonGirl/Serafina.
((365- Isn’t Monty Python a whole group of people? Or am I sadly mistaken, as I have only listened to the sound track of Spamalot?))
((366 – You’re right. I meant to say they and their.))
((359- oh, I knew you didn’t die, I just didn’t realize your position. William was lying, he always does.))
I lunged at AvalonGirl. “You’ll get yourself killed–!” I attempted to drag her away from William, but she fought, and with a whip like that…I ducked, and that was all William needed: He whipped out his large scimitar and slashed at both our faces.
suddenly, it seemed everything went into slow motion.
AvalonGirl finally broke loose, and smashed the whip into William. He swung his scimitar up…and I-Man caught it on another blade. I shot a charge of a laser into the common pattern: Three to the chest, two to the sides, one between the eyes, and one on William’s face…and he fell backwards.
I dropped my lightsaber on my foot, mystified, as I saw William fall. Then I fell too. “OWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!! I am such an idiot!!!!!!! How do you drop a freakin’ LIGHTSABER on your FOOT? Idiot, idiot, IDIOT!!!!!!” I yelped.
I jumped up and ran through the building, searching for something. The reactor core. As soon as I found it, I took a deep breath. My plan would need me to die eventually. I jumped up and smashed through the floors, eventually reaching the area where William was again.
“STOP!!!!!” I yelled.
Everyone stopped moving. William pulled out a blaster and pointed it at me. “I thought you would do that. That’s why I brought this.” It was a lit flare. I held it over the hole and threatened, “Go ahead. Shoot me. You do that, I drop this, we all blow up.”
William laughed. I hate it when he does that. “And what makes you think dropping a flare down a stupid hole will blow us up?”
“Just the fact that this ‘stupid hole’ leads down to the main reactor core.”
He paled for a second. Then he asked, “What are our other options?”
“One. We sit here and do nothing until we all die anyways.”
(((Zinc… Leafy… you are the only hope of keeping the muserly life alive now. You must survive.)))
William fell backwards. My Bloodwrath faded, and I slumped to the floor. My whip stopped, and went back to the sealed form.
ZVX helped me up. “What happened?” I asked, mystified. “How’d I get these cuts?”
((During the Bloodwrath, I didn’t think. I have no memory of what happened at all.))
I watched timidly from the sidelines, the wound on my leg bleeding freely into a puddle all over the floor. Everything was getting darker. I could her people screaming and blaster shots, and I tried to crawl over to the battlew, drawing my blaster. Then, I collapsed to the floor. It was so hard to move. I could hardly tell what was happening. Then, William fell. I sensed a certain weight lifting from my body, just enough to crawl into sight a bit more. I stumbled and fell again. This time, I couldn’t get up. “H-help…” I groaned, my hand going limp.
((Yiiiiiiieeeeee! I don’t post for a day and I come back to find everything has gone on at lightning speed. Oh, by the way, William wasn’t controlling my mind with his mindshape since he can’t get the helmet off, and eye contact is needed. He just hypnotized me normally using his voice. So I’m not bunnified or anything. Also, can someone please grab me? I’m kinda incapacitated at the moment. And last thing- Hi I-Man! You’ve certainly added to the bunny apocalypse mix! I’m glad you did that self destruct thing because I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but Groundhog set off an electrical fire by shooting up a computer lab. So we would have to get out of there fast anyway, before the electrical doors lock everything in.))
I was so weak, and in so much pain that it was killing me as I lay there. Then, I felt another blow to my leg. “OOOOOWWWW!” I screamed and screamed as a bunny laughed over head and something burieed itself deep into my leg. It beeped a few times, then faster and faster. I braced myself for the end. But it didn’t come, at least not the way I thought it might. I felt something take my body like a wave from the ocean, and then I shut my eyes, falling asleep.
I felt no more.
I saw William attacking Kittymine and was immediately filled with rage. How dare he touch my sister?!? There were several others attacking him already, but I figured that every little bit helps. I noticed that their blasters weren’t having any effect and wondered why. I also wondered what could get him. Then something occurred to me. I pulled a depigmentizer dart out of my pocket and loaded it into my finger gun. Taking careful aim, I shot it into William’s neck. And, oh happy day, he started to shrivel up and turn white…
((Will somebody please summarize what has been happening for, say, the past 400 posts? Pretty please?))
((Oh, and am I alive?))
((378- okay, here’s the summary:
We all get back to the trench by bots from Groundhog. We form a plan to storm the bunny fortress and wipe out the bunnies. People who had been bunnified, hypnotized, etc. before by bunnies go with TGYPWYA as ‘prisoners’. (TGYPWYA had been spying on the bunnies while they thought he was spying on us.) The rest of us go onto a ship to fly to the bunny fortress. Earthgirl and CTN go and get alien reinforcements from all of the planets that the different colored bunnies have attacked. They bring them to earth, and they follow our ship in their other ships.
As we fly toward the fortress, the information we are receiving from TGYPWYA’s com-card (video, dialoge, etc.) is not good at all. ZVX shoots off our bio-bomb that is supposed to kill only bunnies, but it doesn’t work right. So William grabs TGYPWYA, since he is now obviously shown as a turncoat (from the bunnies point of view.)
Groundhog goes in a mini-ship from our large one to the fortress through an airlock or something. She goes and shoots up a computer lab, causing a small electric fire that will eventually spread.
At the same time the rest of us go in to save TGYPWYA and the other ‘prisoners’ (AvalonGirl, Serafina, Leafygreen, Zinc the Sorceress, Kokonilly, MARFwarrior, *I think that’s it*) who are now being attacked by bunnies. I sneak up on William with my suit in camouflage mode, but he notices me when I shoot him with my old blaster and it doesn’t work (he absorbed it’s power- but he can’t do that to the new ones). He grabs me, but since he can’t get my helmet of (it’s sealed on), he hypnotizes me using his voice (normally, like in the real world but not quite). I collapse. Then I-Man comes in with Clair (his crush) and Hunter (his cousin) somehow. He gets to the fortress quite by accident. He goes after William. William hits a button just before I-Man knocks him out with a giant metal ball.
SELF DESTRUCT IN TEN MINUTES
We have got to get out of there fast! A big fight ensues. I-Man unlocks all of the real prisoners in the fortress. Everyone is fighting, or injured, or running to the ships. (I think the alien reinforcements are in the mix too, but I’m not sure.) Somehow Leafy and Zinc are teleported to a large grassy field. According to I-Man, they are the only ones who can save the muserly life now, because I-Man has a flare over a reactor core in the fortress which everyone is all circled around, the self destruct is supposed to go off in 9 minutes, and Groundhog started an electrical fire which will eventually cause the electric doors of the fortress to short circuit and lock everything in. So we are in a major pickle. You are in there somewhere, within the crazy thing.))
Baylee ended up in the rafters above everyone. She saw William holding, what is that?, a bomb? Above a hole in the floor. She was figuring out a plan, but she needed to other people. Everyone else was stuck in Williams gaze. There was no way anyone could move. So she sat there, pondering, and she finally gave up. All she had was a stupid bunny knife, and a rope.
I looked down at my foot and noticed there was a huge gash in it. I felt no pain at that point; I must have been going into shock. I also saw Agrrrfishi fall, then Kittymine. I inched over to both of them and attempted to drag them, but I fell over as well. The rapid loss of blood was getting to me… everything went fuzzy…. My last thought before I passed out was Don’t drop your lightsaber on your foot, stupid idiot…
“You were under Bloodwrath. Got to the shuttle. We can’t afford to lose another fighter. Your blaster’s charged, so you should be able to shoot from there, but if the bunnies come on there, just run. Don’t stop and fight; they’ve got numbers, we’ve only got skill.” I said. “I’m got to find the others. Self destruct in seven minutes; so we’re on a tight schedule. Leafygreen’s hurt, possibly irrevocably hit with a laser.” I leaped down.
“AND MAKE SURE YOU GET IN THE SHUTTLE!” I shouted as some stray helibunnies whipped by; I took aim and sent a wide burst of energy…the bunnies were falling like rain.
((P.S. I’m not dead, just knocked out and losing a LOT of blood, so if someone could find me…))
“Bloodwrath? No, I couldn’t have…is anyone hurt because of me?” I questioned ZVX.
I took out my blaster, running to the shuttle. That was when I noticed Agrrrfishi. She was in a pool of blood. Close were Kittymine and Kokonilly, also unconscious! I tried to staunch the bleeding, using strips ripped from our outfits.. Please don’t be dead, please wake up, please don’t die… I silently prayed, picking them up. I figured I’d get them to the shuttle.
I opened my eyes woozily, sensing I was being carried. “I… was… an… idiot…” I rasped. “I… dropped… my… lightsaber…” I pointed feebly toward my foot. “At… least… it’s… magic… I can’t… lose it…” I said weakly. Then, my foot started to bleed harder as I passed out again, presumably in a coma.
A small chipmunk came up to us. “Aw, lookit Zinc, isn’t he cute?” cooed Leafy. “I know Leafy! Let’s name him- what’s happening to his fur?” The chipmunk’s fur had started to turn hot pink. Then a wung came out of no where and started attacking it. The chipmunk returned to its normal color and scampered away. The wung looked at us knowingly, and disappeared. Leafy and I looked at each other. Then we started laughing. “Wh- why are we l- l- laughing?!” Leafy laughed. “I have n-no idea!!!” I chuckled.
I was having a dream. Somebody was yelling at me to wake up and run, but I was too impeded by the thought of bonbons from my mother’s bakery to do anything but sleep. In fact, a voice inside my head was commanding me to do just that… sleep…sleep forever, fool, you will never wake up… William’s voice grew stronger and then fainter and stronger again, lulling me into an even deeper sleep than I was already in.
‘Sleep…’ , “GET IN THE SHUTTLE!”, ‘Sleep, foolish human, sleep…’ The voices in my head changed. I could hear ZVX, he was shouting at someone. Then, someone was picking me up. I tried to move, but I couldn’t. William told me not to. And I had to listen. I had to listen…
A flash of white light, a feeling of disapparation, and we were in the shuttle. AvalonGirl looked surprised at our sudden appearance. We rushed over to her, and talked rapidly. At the end, AvalonGirl looked confused. “You were out in a random chipmunk when you saw a wung turn into a big grassy field but a HPB saved him?”
That’s when everyone started moving. William was just about to drop the flare into the hole. Baylee thought quickly, and through the knife straight at the flare. Knocking it out of his hand. She took the rope, tied it to a rafter and swung like George of the Jungle into the shuttle right before it closed. She wiped her forehead. “William is still alive. We have to get out of here as quickly as possible.” somebody said. “Wait! We have to destroy this thing! Does anyone has a match or flare of some sort?” Zinc held up a match she had gotten from Kokonilly. Baylee lit it quickly. She burned herself accidentally for the ship all of a sudden lurched. “Someone, take it and throw it into the hole!” she said, in pain.
((William’s hypnotic powers seem to be increasing by the second!))
Everthing was dark, my mind seemed numb. I couldn’t move anything- my body felt like it was full of lead. Distantly, I heard a whisper of a yell.
“GET TO THE SHUTTLE!”
I felt something pick me up. Friend or foe, I could not tell. William’s voice began echoing in my head again, persuasive and smooth.
“Relax, human- you cannot resist me. You are in my hands now…you can listen only to me. Now sleep…sleep, human…†The voice continued on, repeating that single word persuasively- “Sleep…†I could only obey- I fell into a deep slumber, William’s voice swirling around my unconscious mind.
((Agrrrfishi- I know I sound like I’m copying you, but I’m not- William is just controlling those of us who he felled in the same way.))
((He didn’t ‘fell’ me; I felled myself, so I’m unaffected, right?))
((390- shouldn’t “You are in my hands now” be: “You are in my paws now”?))
“Agrrrfishi–Kokonilly!” I watched as they both fell, taken by the hypnotic power of William. Funny, I thought. It’s not effecting me…
then it clunked into place.
I was still holding my laster at an angle at the sky, so if William was trying to hypnotize us…then Pietanium must shield it. The blaster’s outer casing was made out of Pietanium, so…
I walked over to Agrrrfishi. A pulse, still, but low, as if William was sucking the power from a body…
It hit me again.
Great.
((392 – See post 391.))
((Wait a minute. Scratch that. I meant Kittymine. Sorry for the confusion!))
(394 – That’s okay!
))
((yeah, it should be paws, but that just doesn’t have the same dramatic ring to it, ya know? And no, you are not effected Kokonilly. Oh, this is so fun!))
((sorry for double post, but what realization hit you ZVX?))
I realized what was happening. I hurriedly scrambled into the hallway, which was covered in HPBs.
“AEAEAEEAEIAEEEIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” I screamed, making all the bunnies faint from the sound and breaking all the windows in the hallway.
I ran into the ship, where Zinc and Leafy went poof! right in front of me. They told me what had happened. I was confused. “You were out in a random chipmunk when you saw a wung turn into a big grassy field but a HPB saved him?â€
William seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he was being depigmentized. His loss. I ran back and forth, dragging various unconscious Resistance members to the shuttle. As I dragged the last unconscious victim, Kittymine, into the sick bay, my blood boiled. They’d pay for this. I retrieved my own long-disused (not since the melee at the asylum) lightsaber from the shuttle–just in case my blaster didn’t work–and rejoined the fight. Then my blaster ran out of juice. I guessed that I’d used up too much power shooting up the electrical boxes. “This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny…” I sang under my breath as I pulled out my lightsaber and started slicing bunnies into pieces left and right. I looked over at William. He appeared to be completely depigmentized now, and what’s more, he was knocked out too. Good. That meant that no one else would get pulled in by his voice.
((Yikes, I never got my intro together and now I’m going to be gone for another week without internet access. Hopefully I’ll have time to catch up/join when I come back.))
((397- William was controlling the minds, but only if there was enough pietanium could we actually stop his control.))
“GOUNDHOG! Bomb detonates in 58 seconds! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!”
I sprinted out grabbing Groundhog as we ran. The box of clock started to vibrate. We needed to…run…
We burst out onto the grounds and leaped into the shuttle. I sprang in the cockpit, punched the ignition, and revved up the shuttle. I could see several musers clutching their stomachs for the ride, but I shot the shuttle upward, as below the fortress bloomed in a mushroom cloud.
At that precise moment, William shot out like a ball from a cannon, followed by a swarm of helibunnies, dragonbunnies, and his own kind, plain old HPBs, who zoomed at the shuttle with surprising speed.
I heard someone cock a blaster behind me. Good. We were ready to take the blow. I flipped the shuttle as streaking blasts of light whistled by. My face tightened as I saw the bunnies hurling grenades as the armada soared towards the musers.
I put the shuttle on self-drive, and loosed another burst of energy from the blaster.
((Weeheehee! What fun!
)) Nothing scratched the roof. “I’m going out.” said Leafy. “No Leafy, not with your head injury!” I said. “Yeah, I s’pose you’re right…” she muttered. She started to say something else but was cut off when a grenade blasted apart the ceiling.
Suddenly, and without warning, I stood up straight as a pin. But I wasn’t controlling my motions. In fact, I was strangely unaware that I was getting to my feet until ZVX looked over at me. “Aggie! You’re alive? Quick, get on the shuttle, this place is going to blow!” Then, he looked even closer at me. “Agrrrfishi, why are your eyes pink? And why do you have…are those FANGS?” Then, some sense of realisation seemed to come over him. “Oh, no…” he said. :”He’s controlling… HELP! SOMEONE!” But without realizing what I was doing, I pulled a blaster from my be;lt and pointed it staright at ZVX. ‘That’s it, fool’, said William from inside me. ‘You’re my prisoner now…’
((Yikes! I do hope that won’t happen to me. In fact, let’s just say that I DON’T want to turn into a pink-eyed, fanged MBer. I’ll just stay unconsious.))
((New thread? GAPAs, please post a link to it here!))
(Wait. Did it blow already?)
