Chapter 133: Sporpodile

No way, this was the same scary little bunny form before! She, ya, that was a female over there, no doubt. There wasn't any naked flesh yet that wasn't covered in fur from what I could see around the claw blocking my view, but she had the right curves.

"I don't think I would like you to poke out my eye. Do you mind putting those things down?"

"Ara? Ara Ara Ara Ara?"(What? You can talk now?)

"So could have you, but you opted for the eye pokers instead. Speaking of those pokers, I asked you once nicely. So, either take your hands out of my face, or I'll thank them off your hands. If you know what I mean."

I grinned, showing off my large and numerous mouthful of teeth. The Bunny girl pulled her hands back and stepped back from me. She looked very skeptical of me, so I raised a wolf leg to stop her before she backed into the cave walk. Maybe the rabbit part of her a natural flight instinct to predators.

"All right, I think we got off on a bad foot, somewhere, but I'm not here to hurt you."

"Ara? Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara?! ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA ARA!"(Oh? Like you weren't coming to kill my mother and me?! THE SNAKE JUST BEAT YOU TO US!)

Okay, I agree with Trinity; the Ara was incredibly cute...but after the fourteenth one, my head started to hurt. What was this bullshit? Mom? This girl was another player; was she trying to play me for dumb?

"Don't give me that shit, woman! That was no more your mother; then I am your uncle!"

"Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara Ara!"(I wouldn't want to be related to some as ugly as you!)

...Ouch. That was grating when Trinity said it, but to hear it from this random player. I turned and flew out of the cave; I'm not some whiney bitch all hung up on his feeling, but that stung. I heard some noise from the cave, but I just flew off and found a tree; I didn't need that kind of person around me. 

I settled down in a large pine tree and coiled myself around the top. I would get a bit sticky, but it should be safe up here for the most part—stupid rabbit.

I started to drift off, but I heard something below me, and I could smile something gross. I just wanted to sleep, and now someone was going to bother me, and the thing smelled horrible. It was dark, so I couldn't see what was down below, and the horrible smell made it impossible to make it out in my mind.

Then, it started to move away from me, and some of the tension in my body let go. I was about to settle back in when I decided to try the air one more time to make sure. Are you serious? 

The thing had to go that way? Was I going to be allowed any sleep tonight? What was the point in saving the little wretch anyway? 

It had been easier to lie to me and then insult me rather than just admitting she was trying to play me. I get it, it's a game, but that was no reason for people to act like that!

Man, who was I kidding? I thought as I flew out of the tree, back to the cave. There was no way I could leave her, but I didn't have to help her right away. Maybe I was worrying for nothing; she would have got me there when I snuck up on her. 

I flew under the pale and dimmed moonlight that pushed down through the fog, barely visible. I could see the thing that was moving low to the ground and silently. Legs of a spider, arms of a man and tail of a scorpion, and a crocodile body? What the hell was I looking at? A Sporpodile?!

I had to hold myself back, and I was stuck in a serious conundrum. Help now, because I would have a hard time taking it alone, or wait and rescue bunny girl to try and win favor. The problem with the last choice was that we could both potentially die in tight quarters with that Sporpodile.

"Hey! ugly! Over here!"

I called out as I darted for the tail of the thing, but I messed up by calling out too soon. The tail sucked in at the last second, and I tried to get past the Sporpodile but was hit with a right hook that sent me spinning in the air. Great, this thing was big, fast, smart, and it hit like a truck.

"Who are you?"

"Does it matter if you're going to die right away, Dave?"

"Seriously, I am the picture of ugly right now, and I look nothing like my avatar. Why can you keep identifying me so easily?!"

"Ha, so that is true then! You really don't know, do you? I won't be the one to spoil this."

I had righted myself in the air before hitting anything, so I wasn't injured from the punch, Hardened Scales for the win. That's when I noticed her sneaking out of the cave...and away from the fight. Really? I dodge a tail strike from the thing, trying to figure out what to do about it.

Then my concern was soon selfed, as I watched her out of the corner of my eye, ducking and a left hook. Then appears at the top of the small cliff overhanging us pushing a large rock; I get it. I got him into place and then nodded to him, but that was my signal to drop it. 

I stepped forwards and pushed the thing backward, hard.

[Hammer Tail]

I spun my body and smashed my tail into the creature, and I was knocked back. That was the moment the rock came down, smashing the body into a bloody pulp, gross. Now to her, what would the brat do? Claim the victory for herself?
