"AAAHHHHHHHH," Linkle screamed in kind as the strange rabbit things started going off like war horns, scattered, and opened fire. She started running almost immediately, leaping back and forth to dodge the hail of projectiles as she charged forward. What were those things they were using, anyway? They looked like guns, but unlike Michael's she could actually see the things it was firing. They were fast but not the sort of instant hit fast that she'd seen, so there was really no point in running for cover.

They were about as good a shot as her anyway, and this was obviously that "covering fire" thing he'd been talking about. That meant they were just going to be coming for her anyway, so she might as well speed things along by meeting them halfwa-

A shot, better aimed than the others, caught her right in the thigh and caused her to stumble and was followed up by a hit to the chest that burned a circle in her shirt and threw her to the ground. The other ones capitalized on this and pelted her with hot shots, knocking more sense out of her and tearing up the grass. 

She pounded a fist into the ground and rolled behind a nearby block to take cover for herself. She pat down the spots where she'd been hit, which were already red. He chest, her back, all over her arms, everything started to burn. Then she heard the sound of flesh smacking against flesh, as though two of the rabbits had high fived, then they started laughing.

"Owowowow, little monsters." She said to herself. "You're not big enough to be this dangerous."

What had Michael's advice about this been again? Don't rush them? Well, she'd already made that mistake. What else? Wait till they run out of ammo? She didn't know if they had any ammo. Surprise them? Just use a ranged weapon of her own? That wouldn't work either, she couldn't aim.

She pressed her back up against the block and peaked up over real quick. A few of them had moved up, but she didn't get a good enough look before the she was noticed and had to duck as more shots rained on block. She'd gotten closer at least, almost within her comfortable range.

Still, she couldn't fight these guys like this. Not with them ready to shoot her as soon as she popped out.

There was that last thing Michel had said. Distract them. These guy certainly seemed easily distracted, but how could she do that now? Her eye slid to the green mental that hung from her shoulders.

She threw it out and it was shot by the hair trigger hares, but Linkle had already run round the opposite way and charged, crossbow clutched in both hands and shooting like a madwoman at the nearest rabbit before sweeping her bow back and forth to lay down some covering fire of her own as she ran.

She spotted those two the farthest back, the ones that had the really good aim. The two reasons she had had to sacrifice her favorite hood. As she looked at them a red light began to emanate from the tip of her bow and she couldn't help but grin. When had she gotten that back. With a whop she took her crossbow back in one hand and sweat it forward, like she was trying to hit the rabbit with it, and pulled the trigger. Instead of an arrow, though, what shot out was a bright blue bomb the size of her head with a hellishly burning wick. It landed right between them, but she didn't have to to watch what happened next. 

She had managed to break into the middle of their little formation, and was utterly without cover. It was do or die time. She swung the still glowing tip of the bow at the next rabbit, then the next, then the next, quickly throwing bombs in all directions around her.
