Sixteen: Accidentally Finding Mars

Codemus POV

"Red… Red… Orange… and red… this is torture to my sanity! Ooh! Mother of Jelly Beans! I've been here searching for like… two days!!! Oho-ho-ho-ho-ho… at least this jagged rock is in my paw! Though I don't know how this works…"

(ctto: Blue by Eiffel 65- Note: The lyrics was a bit messed up to fit in the story)

Yo listen up!

Here's a story

About a little bunny that's

Hovering in the red world

And all day and all night

And everything he sees

Is just red like him

Inside and outside

Red his face with a

Red little window

And a red rocket

And everything is red

For him

And himself and everybody

Cuz he ain't got nobody

To listen

I'm red and I'm gonna die

Ba da dee ba da die

I'm really gonna die…

"(Inhales deeply) AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

"COD!!!" a sudden outburst interrupted my frustration.

"(Gallops) ah! Yes… Your evilness…" I replied in surprise.

"Shut it Cod! Do you have the next piece?" Destiny asked.

"I-I-I'm on it." I stuttered.

"Are you sure?" Destiny growled at me.

"No… I mean, Yes..?"

"Cod, are you playing with me? Or I will ruthlessly play the lives of your rodent fluffle…"

"So mean…" I slowly whispered to myself.

"What was that? Are you asking for your death, cottontail!?"

"I dare not Your Excellence. I am… your humble slave and I will… never betray you." I started to play with words.

"Oh, will you?" Destiny pressed me.

"Believe me sire my fluffle's survival is in your control. I will never make reckless actions that will offend you." I swore.

"We'll see about that. I have sent two nibbling bunnies to assist you in your journey. And guess what… they're very loyal. They are on their way to your destination. I hope you deserve to be their commander, Cod."

"I will Your Grace."

"Very well then, you are dismissed."

--POOF!--

"(Exhales sharply) Finally…"

Did that monster just said nibbling bunnies? Ooh, what have that wretched foul mouthed monster had done to my precious fluffle?! If only I had the power to protect my subjects, I wouldn't have suffered like this right now. Curse that god-forsaken beast! Oh, I wish I could say that out loud. But I'm scared…

"I'M A COWARD!!!"

Well if I remember exactly, that earthling song was pretty good. And back in my Earthly Adventure, I happen to run into some underground manor full of sparkly balls, starkly laser beams that don't hurt, and filled with crazy monkeys fooling around the pole, butt naked. Though, they don't have a cottontail which is a disappointment.

"Gah-ah!!! Blimey red peppers! Someone is planning my death!"

I halted my rocket as I saw another penguin spaceship pointing its deadly weapons at me. I'm all sweatin' right now and I need to do something to survive. Yes, I must survive for the better good of my precious fluffle. Now, get a hold together Codemus. You can do this and let's fry this chicken to crisp.

"I am not afraid penguin terminator!" I loudly shouted towards my enemy.

In a bit of a second, I felt confidence, I felt power. I know that death is coming to get me. However, I must live on! I must endure!

"AAAAHHHHH!!!"

M-m-more weapons!?! Bloody carrots! That bird has a powerful hearing.

"I-I haven't raised my weapons yet against you, you flightless bird! Watch and I'll intimidate you with my impeccable carrot lasers!" I added.

I rushed to press the entire firearms button available in my rocket and even the deadliest lasers I could find. I engaged my defense and ready to pull the lever.

"(Evil laugh) you intimidated now?!" I raised a provocation hoping it'll work.

I was laughing and more grinning trying to scare it away. But unfortunately, in a blink of an eye, suddenly even more weapons came popping out of the penguin terminator. And obviously, it outnumbers my artilleries.

"(Sniffs) Well, this is it. I can see my life flashing through my eyes…"

(Note: My Last Farewell by Dr. Jose Rizal translated by Charles Derbyshire)

Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away,

Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed!

Give thanks that I rest from the wearisome day!

Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that lightened my way;

Beloved creatures all, farewell! In death there is rest!

After citing the poem of not mine, I boldly closed my eyes ready to accept my miserable fate. I will not live on, on this physical form, but I will forever live in the hearts of my Bunnyterrian citizens.

"Come death! I am prepared to die! I will be a loser today but tomorrow… umm… tomorrow… wait!!! I'm not yet prepared to die!!!"

--PEW!!! BOOM!!!—

......................

"(Coughs) I… I… I… Well, I'm alive!"

I hopped in joy that despite all of the bad lucks I survived. I was so happy and more hopping until I realized… I've seen what I've been searching for since yesterday.

"Well, scratch my cottontail. Codemus, you are the smartest rodent alive! Hello, Mars Dominion."
