hey everybody! Celtic Boy here. I just want you to know that the hunters aren't real people. They are just common monsters so don't get mad at me if they shoot each other. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: A hare-raising experience

Mumbo was very happy. He had his first Jiggy! But where would the next one be? Wait! The rabbit! "Bye bye feverish dragon." Mumbo said as he took off. "Thank you!" Draco called out after him.

Mumbo stopped at the fork in the road between Draco and the hunters. He prepared to transform again. He spinned around a couple times, making the usual "transformation rings" around himself and raised his staff high over his head!

BANG!

Mumbo the Rabbit was back!

"There's one!" "Get him!"

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!

The hunters were shooting at him! Mumbo took off as fast as he could go, dodging bullets on the way. He finally found the rabbit and dived in with him.

"You're having trouble too, huh?" He asked. "A little." Mumbo replied. "Maybe someone will come along to save us." "Yeah. Wait a minute! Mumbo came to save rabbit!!" His eyes lit up. "Really?" He asked. "Yes, now follow Mumbo."

They ran peacefully for a while, but then a hunter spotted them. He called out to his buddies and about ten of them swarmed in every direction. The hunters aimed their guns. They were surrounded.

Mumbo jumped up and kicked the nearest hunter into another one. They disappeared after they landed. He landed and leaped into the stomach of another one. The same thing happened. All of the hunters were shooting at Mumbo now. But out of the corner of his eye, Mumbo spotted one of them aiming for the other rabbit. Thinking fast, Mumbo kicked another hunter in the line of fire.

BLAM!

"Arrgghhh!" the hunter cried as he disappeared with a hole in his chest. Mumbo ran as fast as he could to the other hunter as he aimed for the other cowering rabbit. He jumped into the hunter and leaped back into the main group of hunters. That's five down, five to go. Mumbo kicked another hunter into another one and they both disappeared.

Mumbo Rabbit looked around. There should be three left. He only saw two. One of them probably got shot. There sure were a lot of bullets flying. And these guys weren't good shots. He looked left and right. One was on each side. Mumbo's muscles tensed, waiting to leap. They both aimed at the same time.

BLAM!

Mumbo leaped forward. He looked back to see who had fired. He didn't see anybody. They had shot at the same time! "Well that takes care of that! Come on Mr. Rabbit!" Mumbo said.

The rabbit started to walk toward him. He had just stood there during the whole thing. But then, out of the corner of Mumbo's eye.

"Watch out!"

BLAM!

The rabbit lay there, groaning. Mumbo looked at the hunter. The one he had missed. The one that was hiding in the bushes. The one that had shot the rabbit. Mumbo was mad now. He charged at the hunter. With a swift kick, it was over for the stupid hunter.

He rushed over to the rabbit. "oooooh. I guess I'm going to be dinner after all," he said. Mumbo felt sad. Wait! There was a way! But did he have enough time? And would it work?

Mumbo de-transformed as fast as he could. "You? You were the shaman all along?" he asked. Mumbo ignored him. He started to perform the spell. Blue light began to surround the wound. To Mumbo's relief, the wound began to close. Finally, the rabbit was healed.

The rabbit looked really freaked out. "So, all that magic and voodoo crap is real?" Mumbo told the rabbit to get moving and they walked to a dead end in which his hole was located without a problem. Inside the hole was a cozy little home that reminded Mumbo of Bottles' old house.

"Well thanks a lot," the rabbit said. "Rabbit is welcome," Mumbo said. "Well, I guess I'll see ya." "Huh?" "Bye!" "Doesn't Mumbo get a reward?" "Geez you're greedy! You tricked me! I don't give rewards to liars." "Mumbo saved rabbits life!" "Fine, if you want to be that way, I'll give you this stupid gold jigsaw puzzle piece I found IF you can beat me in a race as a rabbit." "Where can Mumbo and rabbit race? Mean hunters will shoot us up above the hole." "That's why I have an underground racetrack! It's downstairs!"

Mumbo, feeling very cheated, walked downstairs with the rabbit to find a huge racetrack filled with rabbits. Mumbo saw a few other stairways probably leading to other homes. It was like an underground city full of rabbits and in the middle is a racetrack. "Are you ready for this?" the rabbit asked.

Mumbo just transformed to his rabbit form and hopped over to the starting line. When the rabbit made it to the starting line beside him, an announcer started talking into a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We have another challenger for our champion tonight! His name is Mumbo! Now let's see how bad he gets beat!"

That really helped boost Mumbo's confidence. He tried not to get too nervous, but it was hard.

"Ready! Set! Go!"

And we were off. For the first few seconds we were even, but the rabbit was way faster than Mumbo. The rabbit beat Mumbo by a mile.

"Ha ha! I guess I get to keep my jigsaw after all!" the rabbit bragged. "Just *pant* one *cough* more time." Mumbo gasped. "Ha! What difference will that make? I'll cream you! Just like before!" "Mumbo have to go." "Don't be a sore loser! Here, I'll by you a carrot!" "Carrot. Mumbo will be back!" "Whatever."

Mumbo had an idea. He needed carrots to use it. Mumbo had tried to use his speed move to get ahead but he tired out to fast. He just needed carrots! Where would Mumbo get carrots? He wouldn't lower himself to asking the rabbit to buy him some. Mumbo decided to ask the bartender.

"Where does bartender get his carrots?" Mumbo asked. "I get them from a huge field," the bartender answered. "Oh, that doesn't help Mumbo."

Feeling hopeless, he started to leave. "I have a dragon guard my field so don't try to steal any carrots!" the bartender called out to Mumbo. Dragon? He didn't mean.

Mumbo, in his regular form, walked up to Draco the dragon.

"Hello Draco," Mumbo greeted. "Hey Mumbo! I can't thank you enough for helping me out back there," Draco said. "No thanks necessary. Um, where's the field?" "Field? What field? "Mumbo heard Draco is guarding carrot field. Where is it?" "Uh, I'm not supposed to let any one through." "Not even Mumbo?" "Sorry." "But Mumbo needs it to save Mumbo's friends from being zombies!" "Huh? Oh! You mean you need carrots in some kind of potion, right?" "Uh, yeah?" "Well, then I guess I can let you by. I need to stretch my wings anyway. Bye!"

With that said, Draco stretched out his enormous wings and flew away revealing a big doorway leading to a huge carrot field! Mumbo walked in the field. It was kind of rotten. The field was all but empty! Mumbo saw someone running around but he didn't want to mess with that guy. Mumbo just found a couple carrots and went on his way.

Back at the racetrack as Mumbo Rabbit, he approached the rabbit. He was chatting with some of his friends.

"Mumbo here to challenge rabbit again." Mumbo said. "Look, we already went through this! I beat you! No more jigsaw! Get it through your head!" "What is a matter? Is rabbit scared?"

Some of the rabbit's friends looked at him curiously. "Bring it on." The rabbit replied. Back at the starting point, Mumbo charged up for the race.

"Ready! Set! Go!"

They were off! Each going just as fast as the other. Mumbo started to get tired, so he scarfed down a carrot. He kept going while the rabbit weakened. Slowly, Mumbo started to get ahead. After he had eaten his last carrot, he was the one winning by a mile! But he started to get tired. The rabbit was gaining on him. So Mumbo did something he had never done in his history of adventures. He cheated.

Mumbo got right in front of the rabbit and just dead stopped. The rabbit collided into him and sent Mumbo flying past the finish line. The rabbit jogged past the finish lined.

"That's not fair! You cheated!" "Mumbo is tired of racing ungrateful rabbit." "Fine! Here's your stupid jigsaw piece. Now I never want to see you again!"

Then a Jiggy appeared out of nowhere in the traditional Banjo-Kazooie style. Mumbo grabbed it and did a little rabbit dance. Three more and he is out of here! (Just nobody even mention the word rabbit to Mumbo!)

hey everybody! Celtic Boy here. How'd you like this episode. I'm glad I'm done. I really hated that despicable rabbit. Oh well. I'll never see him again! Ahahaha! Where will Mumbo get his next Jiggy? Stay tuned to find out! Thanks for reading!
