Chapter 2 (The Hunt is On)
The Luma quickly started dusting off the snow, searching for the bunnies. After 30 seconds, he found one. The bunny started running. The Luma tried to catch up to it, but he was so tired, and the bunny moved so fast. Eventually, 120 seconds passed, and the timer bell rang.
The three bunnies suddenly reappeared in front of the Luma. The Luma conceded defeat.
"Good game," the Luma said.
"This ain't no game," sneered the head bunny.
Immediately the bunnies lunged at the Luma, knocking him out stone cold. After much arguing, they bared their fangs and dug into the Luma's blood.
"Hey, this feels good," said Todd excitedly.
The bunnies, while sucking the Luma's blood, grew stars on their tails and their ears turned yellow. They also felt more agile. Eventually, the Luma's body dried up and it became a flat, shiny star. The bunnies decided to keep the star.
"I still don't see why we have to put up with that 150 second hide and go seek nonsense," complained Kim. "Why can't we just simply kill them on the spot?"
"Because," replied Todd impatiently. "We need our prey to be active enough before we eat them to stimulate their blood. Besides, our cute appearance throws off their guard."
"Yeah," said Leslie. "But that cutesy appearance leaves a bad taste in my mouth."
As the months passed, the bunnies waited for more unsuspecting travellers to pass by. They would follow the same routine to lure them into a sense of security, and then eat them. Of course, the sight of dead carcasses was not pleasant for their tiny planet, so they built snowmen over them.
Rosalina, awaiting the Luma's return for many months, was afraid. It seemed that many travellers to Snow Cap Galaxy never returned, and thus it was very dangerous. To protect others from a grisly fate on that planet, she assigned a Luma to guard the Launch Star, under the guise of requiring 1600 Star Bits to fill his hungry stomach, and made the warp only active after completing many challenges in the secret Garden room.
