The Rabbit eventually realized that this was getting nowhere. It could jump around as much as it wanted, but how was it going to actually attack the man?
Like a bolt from the blue, the obvious struck the rabbit- it could transform! There were several things it could transform into! The most useful however, offensively, was the beetle! So, it begun it's change.
The rabbit stopped, and then began melting, it seemed. Then, it became cohesive, forming an exoskeleton shape. It wasquite the grotesque process. Vaisly, not being stupid, took this chance to imbed his blade into his agressor.
Bugs are tenacious creatures, and really dont seem to feel pain. In this case, the manikin, then rabbit, now beetle, felt nothing but an impediment in it's transformation process. Instantly, by force of habit, the bug grew a large mouth and bit into the blade.
Vaisly began cursing, now, and engaged the half formed bug in a tug of war. However, no matter how hard he pulled, the mouth locked around the blade direly. Doing the obvious, Vaisly simply let go, and drew his second sword, this time delivering an expert chop to the bug's head.
It is a good thing that bugs don't have much brain in their head, because if there was it would have been halved. However, the fact that it's eyes suddenly went haywire frightened the Bug, and it quickly turned around and buzzed off.
Elsewhere, the Manikin legs was still digesting, but also trying to learn at the same time. An interesting thing it noticed was, with it's life detection, there were much more than the normal amount of lives in the building- however, a good majority of them weren't quite whole. In fact, the Legs sensed the entire building as vaguely alive- it was starting to realize that things were not simple in this stage... However, it did not care! The Manikin on whole was not very goodat caring about things that it didn't want to eat. So, what it did care about was that there seemed to be another whole life, along with the others, but one that it wasn't familar with. It relayed it's newfound knowledge to the Beetle, who shared much experience right back at the Legs, chiefly that it was hurt and confused. Being the logical-er thinker of the two, the Legs wisely called for a regroup.
