Linkle shook her head as the power of the healing rabbit stitched up her savaged eardrums. She nodded her thanks at Heal as he bounded away over the side to help out the other rabbids, and stood up in the seat of Bowsers cart. She had been lucky for that spider shield, she'd have been much more hurt when she slammed into the side without that to absorb the blow.

Of course she had no time to could her blessings because now she could see what was coming for them, the thing that had been hiding in the light of that fire face she'd killed. She'd thought the Bowsermobile was big, but this was a monster. That was the only way to describe it, a cart monster. Agoston was doing his best to drag it back, but even his mass was no match for the power of the thing, and as it tore lose from his grip the only thing standing between it and Bowsers cart was the Koopa King himself.

The courage of the king was shown by very few. Instead of diving for safety or driving away and threw himself into the jaws of the beast. He paid for it, hard, and as Linkle watched in shock as spikes and shell splinters were splayed over the scrubland the Bowesermobile unexpectedly started moving. The shock of it made Linkle lose her balance, sending her tumbling backwards over the side and onto the ground below. As the cart pulled away she could only try to leap up and run from the monster bearing down join her.

Luckily for her the rabbids she'd befriended last night came in her moment of need, swooping in and launching her through the air into their cart as it sped away. They hopped back in, leaving Linkle to only watch in horror as the monster mulched her mighty steed.

She could almost hear it whinny as it went under the tire.

Linkle clenched her fists, bared her teeth, and marched to the front of the cart. "Hey!" She called to the driver. "Bring us along side that monster. It's gonna pay for what it did to Bowser and my bike!" 

At first the driver didn't seem to understand. What was she going to be able to do to a machine as massive as that. Then Linkle pulled something from behind her ear and gave it a squeeze. The hissing noise could be heard and recognized even over the roar of the engines and gunfire. They were familliar with that noise from last night too. The driver gave a wild laugh and spun the cart around, headed back toward the Brothers Grimm.

As they neared the stalled out monster Agoston was already making headway, wrestling with it and trying to beat it to pulp. Linkle grinned. That made this easier. As they sped up she plucked one of her bolts from and crossbow and flicked it away, replacing it with the green, sulphurous [i]Organ[/i] she'd gotten from the exploding monsters last night. 

She wondered which part she should use it on. Everything was so armored. She only had the one, she she needed to make it count. Then, as she watched, the Princess pulled in from and pumped a shot into the big black thing before pulling away. She could hear the hissing of escaping air all the way from over here with how massive the thing was, but did that mean the monster rolled around on what were essentially balloons? 

"Go along the either side!" She shouted, and pulled up along the side with the undamaged tire. It was even bigger up close. No way could you pierce that with an arrow. So she let fly with the Creeper Heart, shooting it smack into the tire as the cart flew past. Even if the impact didn't set it off there was no way the monster wouldn't run it over if it started moving again. 

The rabbit cart pulled away and Linkle suddenly remembered to pull her hood up over her rabbit ears and pull done to try and mute the sound of the explosion.
