Chapter 28 Valley Of Thunder Bunnies
Valley of thunder bunnies
Standing in front of the valley in a trance, the four of them could feel their hair stand on end.
*Boom!*
With a loud bang, streaks of lightning could be seen coming from all angles of the valley, and coupled with the raging thunderclouds, the whole air seemed to have a metallic taste.
*roar!*
Just as they were about to observe the scenery, a roar sounded from within the valley.
turning their heads, they quickly looked in the direction of the roar. Unfortunately what came into their vision completely broke their cognition.
Standing on air, the figures of two thunder bunnies could be faintly made out.
with every kick, blow, or attack, they seemed to wield enough power to destroy everything.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
As the fight between them intensified, the nearby thunder bunnies quickly went into hiding so as to not be affected.
"Young master, what should we do?" said Davis as he looked towards the sky with a trace of worry and fear on his face.
Hearing what Davis asked, even Alvin and George began to worry because, according to the current trajectory, the two thunder bunnies seemed to be headed in their direction.
Seeing this, the three Alvin, Davis, and George began to look toward Elric hoping he had a plan
Thankfully due to his experience back in the blue star, Elric was used to being put under pressure and calmly began to think of a solution.
After a few minutes of thinking, a lighting bulb seemed to shine on his head. looking at the dense shrubs and mud beside him, he suddenly had an idea.
Signalling for the three of them to keep their voice down, Elric motioned for them to hide behind the stack of shrubs together with the carriage, and coat themselves with mud in the process.
Soon although confused, feeling the approaching figures and not wanting to waste any time, under the lead of the strongest George the quickly moved the carriage and hid with it.
Little did they know that the young master they put all hopes in was not so confident at this moment.
*Sigh... I hope thunder bunnies are like animals back on the blue star that locate their prey and surroundings with smell* Thinking of the difference between Elias and the blue star, Elric couldn't help but hope the tricks he learnt from the animal planet television show were still effective in a different world.
*Thud!*
As soon as all of them had succeeded, two huge figures descended on the spot where they had just been.
directly in front of their hiding spot, was a huge thunder bunny of about fifteen metres with gold fur, a crown-like object fixed on its forehead and covered in streaks of lightning.
Standing in front of the golden thunder bunny was a slightly smaller figure, although no golden fur nor crown, but its aura alone seemed to be on par with its opponent.
After a few minutes of staring at each other, a large roar shot out a lightning bolt not giving its opponent a chance to react.
Unfortunately, the other thunder bunnies seemed to have expected and quickly covered themselves with its large wings using it as a shield.
seeing his attack didn't work, the bunny king took the lead charging toward his opponent
Soon the two of them discarded the theatrics and went into an all-out physical brawl using everything they had in possession as a weapon, wings, feet, and even teeth.
As time passed, the Battle began to intensify, thankfully as the fight intensified, Elric and the rest had more leeway to move about as they seemed too engrossed to pay attention to their surroundings.
However, out of his cautious habit, Elric still motioned for them to stay hidden.
"Young master, what is going on!?" whispered Davis, although he knew they'd just arrived together, he couldn't help but ask Elric hoping he'd have an answer.
Fortunately, it seemed luck was on his side, as beyond his Expectations, Elric seemed to have the answer.
"I know what's going on"
As soon as Elric said that, all six eyes around could help but look at him with doubt, after all they had all arrived together how could he know and they didn't.
"I read it in the library"
Noticing the suspicious looks in their eyes, Elric began to explain what he read, pointing to the golden thunder bunny, he began to speak.
"According to what I read, what's happening now is called a 'battle for kingship'
"Notice the gold fur and crown on its head? those are the symbols for the king bunny or overload bunny meaning he's the bunny king around here"
Hearing Elric say this, the three of them still had a look of doubt after all this didn't explain why they were fighting, however, Elric ignored them and continued speaking
"According to my guess, the slightly shorter bunny is challenging him for his mantle as king"
"It is said that once a bunny king is defeated, its crown and gold fur get transferred to the victor"
Maybe it was because it was the first time hearing or seeing something like this, the three of them couldn't help but look at the fight before them with relish.
"Whoever young masters, what happens if the challenger loses?" Asked Alvin, looking at the ongoing fight, Alvin saw the challenger having any hope of winning.
*Boom!*
Unfortunately, just as Elric was about to explain what happened to the loser, a large sound could be heard from the battlefield quickly attracting everyone's reaction.
looking at the dust-filled scene, with gaping mouths a look of astonishment could clearly be seen on all their faces including Elric who just now was slightly annoyed for being interrupted.
Standing with his fist piercing through his opponent's heart was the original bunny king, and at the other end, his opponent was dead with an unwilling expression permanently on its face.
judging from the sight before them, it was easy to tell that the fight had ended.
*Roar!*
with a large shout, the victorious roar of the bunny king resounded through the valley
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
And as if on cue, after hearing their leaders roar, the remaining thunder bunnies within the valley let out roars as if to cheer for their leaders' victory.
hearing the loud response, after taking a disdainful glance at where Elric and the rest were hidden, the bunny king hopped away ignoring its former opponent's now dead body on the floor.
"...."
*silence.... *
After making sure the bunny king had left, Elric turned towards Alvin.
"Alvin, do you still want to know what happens once the challenger loses?"
not waiting for a response, with a gloomy face Elric pointed to the dead body on the floor.
"Dead"
"The challenger dies!"
