As Sean tried to get back into a fighting stance, Capon suddenly launched itself again, not at him, but at a nearby tree. Twisting in the air, he impacted against the tree with a loud thunk, flew out of Sean’s field of vision completely, then bashed into his back like a battering ram. For the second time in the fight, Sean found himself midair and without the slightest clue which way was up. He barely got his arm up in time to protect his face as he slammed into the log that the other rabbit had been eating.

His armor saved him from scraping his arm and torso skin, but not from the impact. Sean mustered energy to slip over the log and bought a split second of time as he heard repeated thwaps as the rabbit careened wildly from tree to tree.

His knife was only mildly helpful in this situation. The rabbit was fast enough that it could pick angles that he couldn’t see, hit him where it hurt, and be gone before he could react. He needed something like a shield that could protect at least one side of him, so he could guard the other side with his knife. Unfortunately, he didn’t have anything like that.

Then, with a bit of creative thinking, he realized that he could make something that worked like a shield to some extent. Before he could start his plan, the rabbit crashed like a bulldozer into the log Sean was using for cover. Already compromised by the tremendous eating skill of the fat rabbit, the log exploded into splinters as the rabbit cannonball flew a foot or so from Sean’s head. He caught just a glimpse of horrifying, fur-covered muscles before it sprang away again.

Sean only had a second to get his new plan into action. He ripped the Trash Compactor from his belt and started the process of getting its substantial weight into motion. The next time he heard a thwunk from a tree, he used Hard Time on himself to amplify his dodge. It was a false alarm, and whatever effect the skill had fizzed before it could do any good.

After the next thwunk, which came only a split second later, he used Hard Time again as he dodged once more, barely getting out of the way of the murderous little ball of fur. That was enough to get his mass weapon moving, and it rotated over one full side of him, or nearly so. As he swung it, he fought against the gyroscopic stability of the thing to move it up and down slightly, keeping the rabbit guessing.

From that moment, it was a different fight. The rabbit wasn’t dumb enough to charge straight into death, but Sean was spikes and heavy weights from almost any angle it might have wanted to attack from. He could hear it careening from tree to tree, but he was just as powerless to catch up to it as the rabbit was to launch any substantial attacks.
