As elder oaks was keeping most of the foxes that invaded the burrows, destroying most of the food stalls in the process.
Grey looked down at the chaos taking it all in watching every bunny get hurt or worse while his legs were to wobbly to move, karma was just as scared seeing the mess below before he slapped himself with his geen paws bringing both boy's back from their thoughts saying "sister since you're strong go help elder oaks while we get the guards to help." "But wha~" " Stop before you anything else we will be fine don't worry about us and go help as many people as you can." In a not so convincing tone.
Daisy hesitated for a few seconds before saying " Stay out of trouble just get the guards and hide in the secret tunnel NO FIGHTING UNDERSTAND you two."
The both looked at each other then back her and nodded. She then hugged karma while dragging grey in, knowing how he hates hugs before hopping to battle surrounded by thorny vines and toxic flowers killing a few foxes immediately after landing on their backs using the vines to draining them of blood immediately.
As they watched her go off grey said " we are definitely not staying out of this are we." He said in a exhausted voice. "Nope; why you scared of a few dozen foxes ~don't worry about it~ They seem to have only few awakened ones with them, Besides You fought off worse."
" Yeah but they did not have awakened or more than four to five buddies with them at the time and I had the element of surprise with some weapons on hand." Grey said nearly yelling
" So if you had a weapon would that help you be more confident for what's to come" karma asked with a raised eyebrow.
Knowing he was going to be dragged along no matter what he just agreed. As the hopped through the burrows they could hear distant screams echoing everywhere, telling any guard they met where to go as the went to the weapons room swiftly but carefully.
Making it to the weapons room they saw how most tools were already taken from this stone shack. While they were looking through what was left they heard fighting outside. Peaking through the window they saw the other rabbit that awakened with them " look it's Joe he needs our help" said karma as he just picked a sickle that was close to him jumping in.
Grey scrolled through all the equipment and put on a dark green scaled armor obviously from a gator skin. And picking up two really small boomerangs and a really big one going out of the stone shed to help out.
Only to find a wounded Joe and a victorious karma standing on the bloody corpse of a fox. "To slow better luck next to dude."
"Hm not with your luck I don't stand a chance. You good Joe." Grey said concerned
Joe looked up with a bloody eye saying " 'Tis but a scratch lad, now hand me a bloody hammer so I may smite these foul vermin from the face of the planet."
After gearing up properly all three had a chest piece but they gave the only helmet to Joe. Grey also packed strings to make traps his specialty.
Heading back they didn't run to anyone friend or foe which worried them a lot until they turned the corner to see a scruffy looking fox shaking with blood dripping down his mouth. By his feet they saw a headless beige bunny surrounded by mushrooms.
"HA the dammed lad ate a shroom sniffer poor bastard won't know what hit him." Joe said as he rushed in slamming his hammer on the unsuspecting fox. Hitting so hard it caused some dust to disperse.
Grey was feeling excited about taking down a fox with such ease as he was about to join karma stopped him saying "something doesn't feel right see if you can hear if something." Grey understood, focusing on his ears to scan the area.
At the same time Joe was waving for them to come over near the corpse of the fox. But grey panicked a bit a blurted out in a low tone " don't go there Joe is dead there are three rabbit corpses and a healthy fox laying down snacking but I hear no heartbeat from the Joe waving at us I think this is a fox with an illusion rune carful."
Karma seemed mad as he said " That means we have the element of surprise but since he can make illusions he should be level ten or higher but if we get him by surprise we can beat him as level ones you attack first since you can track him." "Bet, but if doesn't work we need get of here we are still newly awakened beast so be careful." Grey said with a nod as they headed towards the illusion.
Due to grey awakening the sound element he could hear every thing around much better an feel albeit slightly changes in ground vibrations. But also how his throat was really sore from using his soul rune to enhance his voice and telling the others to run he knew it would hurt but didn't think it through like most things he did.
Standing near the illusion karma started talking to it so grey can find the foxes exact location. Eventually he heard the sound of heavy breathing and some dripping sounds together coming closer to them from the left. He assumed the dripping sounds to be their comrades blood.
Waiting for it to come closer to karma before abruptly threw the big boomerang on his back hitting the fox hard on the snout causing a crack sound and breaking the illusions.
Karma being startled and slash the snout while jumping back threw his sickle at the eye, getting it pretty deep in yelling " DAMMIT GREY why the hell did you let him get so close. Landing and picking up joes hammer to prepare for what's next
" Because you said wait for an opportunity." An angry grey yelled back. Armed with only two smaller boomerangs and some string grey started running behind the fox trying to use his string while the fox was still disoriented and howling in pain hopping between its legs and tying up the legs and before pulling as hard as he could to make the fox fall over but the fox had now regained its senses and seeing the weak little rabbit that hit him earlier try to trip him pissed it off lunging towards him.
"Well shit" was all grey could say as he saw the fox flying towards with is mouth wide open about crunch down on his small fluffy body.
The only thought going through his mind was " So is this how my food sees me when I bite into it? Well Damm."
