Battle Preperations

Having remained silent since the moment he had arrived most had assumed he was incapable of speaking, after all he wasn't a rabbit monster. So it can be understood how surprise Orso as well as the many watching rabbit citizens were when he suddenly began to laugh.

"Ha ha ha."

It was like the sound of a smooth creamy smoke that intoxicate the senses, his charming laughter washed over them in endless waves captivating their senses as they became instantly enchanted by how alluring it was. Like molten gold it poured into their ears more desirable than the most beautiful rabbit maiden in the world while losing none of is masculinity.

As a matter of fact it seemed to be the very distilled essences of masculine charm causing all other voice to be incomparable. So utterly mesmerizing was the sound of his voice that they wished they could listen to it for the rest of their lives for they were completely intoxicated.

"Give me just a moment Captain Orso to make a few preparations, then we can begin!"

Still somewhat entranced by Salvatore's charming voice Orso subconsciously slackened his stance as he silently nodded patiently waiting for him.

After a few minutes of being entranced Orso finally managed to loosen the unfathomable grip of Salvatore's enthralling voice and shamefully realized he had been mesmerized.

"What the... you can talk!? You deceiving furless BASTARD!!"

Unlike with his troop Salvatore had decide to actually fight with Orso and although he could easily manage to battle with 10 Orso simultaneously while still holding Carl, he felt such an act would be disrespectful to a true warrior like Orso.

Plus he figure that if he was to hold onto Carl while fighting him, the chances of Carl getting motion sickness were very high and the last thing he wanted to see was Carl throwing up, especially since he was naked save for his newly acquire shiny pair of boots.

Tossing Carl high into the air Salvatore suddenly reached out with both of his hands grabbing onto dozens of short spears. Smoothly ripping them from the stone platform he began to skillfully weave then into a strange shaped that quickly coalesced into a small, elaborate throne, except instead of legs it had a 4 foot spike emerging from the base.

Approving of his makeshift creation with a silent nod Salvatore quickly plunged the tiny metal throne into the fighting platform, embedding it a foot into the stone before casually extending his hand out to catch Carl at precisely the moment he plummeted towards the ground. Placing him lightly upon the throne, he examined Carl's appearance admiringly before he gently tapped a point on his back, releasing his paralysis.

Immediately Carl spat out the large berry gag letting out a high pitched scream "AHHHHHHHH" which quickly changed into a long string of indistinguishable obscenities.

"Dammit big bro, what the hell did you do to me?"

"I merely paralyzed you for a few seconds, why, was it uncomfortable?"

"Your darn right it was, I've never been frozen like that before."

"Well it was all for the best, otherwise I'm sure you would have done something stupid, that would have most likely got you killed by friendly fire. You did see how those elite soldiers of yours fired on me even though I was holding you?"

"THATS RIGHT! THOSE TRAITOROUS BASTARDS!!! HOW DARE THEY ATTACK WHEN I CARL, THEIR MOST MAGNIFICENT AWESOME PRINCE WAS NEARBY!!!"

"I SAW EVERYTHING WITH MY PERFECT HEAVENLY EYES, IT WAS ALL THAT FUCKING BASTARD ORSO'S FAULT, HE ACTUALLY DARED TO TREAT ME LIKE A WORTHLESS COMMONER INSTEAD OF THE PRICELESS, ULTRA AWESOME, SUPER UNIQUE TREASURE THAT I AM!!!"

"THEIR WILL BE HELL TO PAY WHEN I TELL MY PAPA, BUNCH OF UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!!!"

"Don't worry little bro, you saw how I dealt with those worthless Bloody Carrots?"

"YEAH I SAW BIG BRO, IT WAS AWESOME!!! ONE MOMENT I WAS SURE IT WAS ALL OVER THE NEXT THOSE UNLOYAL, TRAITOROUS BASTARDS WERE PINNED ALL OVER THE TOWN SQUARE, MOANING LIKE A BUNCH OF PATHETIC BITCHES!!!"

"Well that was nothing, just sit back and see how I deal with that furry punk Orso, their fate will pale in comparison once you see what I do to that stupid punk."

Removing a bunch of fruit and berries from his [Spatial Storage] he shoved them into Carl's paws.

"Here Carl, have some fruit, now stay here while I deal with this punk Orso, I'm going to give his life meaning by....enlightening him about how life without pain is meaningless!!!"

"Wait big bro, will I be safe right here?"

"Don't worry, I'll make a special cover to protect you, so you can fully enjoy your VIP seating."

Extracting the rest of the metal spears Salvatore began to skillfully weave them again, this time into a large domed cage with no bottom and with gaps between the bars the size of a coin. Finishing his construct he placed it over Carl on his tiny throne and embedded it firmly into the ground. Now Carl would be safe from any debris which my occur during his fight with Orso, and as a bonus it would also keep him from running away.

After all, his whole purpose in coming to the Rabbit Kingdom was to complete his first quest and its only requirement was that Carl must remain unharmed before he reaches his home. After all the effort he had put into it already it be a shame for him to fail just because of a stray piece of shrapnel from his fight.

"There, that should keep you safe Carl."

"Yeah this will do real good." he said nodding as he bit into a large green fruit with a loud crunch.

Seeing Carl munching away at the fruit he gave him Salvatore made a final cursory check before with a nod he turned to face Orso who was still slightly mesmerized, engrossed in his thoughts.

Wearing a warm smile he looked Orso in his eye and silently nodded he was ready."

"Let us begin."

Hearing Salvatore's voice Orso snapped out of his spellbound state as he groggily blinked his foggy eye clear. Having been in a slightly spellbound state he had not been conscious enough to hear the nearby conversation between Carl and Salvatore.

However seeing Carl sitting comfortably upon his tiny throne, happily munching on a bunch of fruit, as well as the protective cage that safely enclosed him Orso realized that Salvatore had no malicious intentions towards him. On the contrary it appeared that despite his seemingly earlier mistreatment of Carl they were actually on rather friendly terms.
