An Unexpected Ally

Flamma is about to enter upon his almost certain final fight.  With all his comrades dead or dying, help steps up in the form of a most unlikely creature*.  It is Billy D Bunny, Flamma's cousin and greatest admirer.  Although his first instinct is to send the little guy away, Flamma could use a watchful eye on any opponent with the common goddamn sense to encircle him and attack from behind.  Besides, he would hate to belittle such a magnanimous gesture by refusal.  He needs him.

Billy has looked up to and admired his fearsome cousin all his life.  He knows that he will never be as terrible and beautiful as the bloody bunny, just as he knows that he must stay and help.  For the rest of his life he will remember those golden words-

"Thanks.  I need you".

No medal, no honor, no public recognition of what he will do this day will ever mean more to this small rabbit.  Flamma needed him!  No one has ever needed Billy before and certainly not the great warrior Flamma.  

Now the enemy faces not one but two determined rabbit opponents.  Size is nothing to speed in an edged weapon fight. And of all the vegetable thief rabbits of 'scapeville, Billy is the only one that was never caught.

Both Flamma and the Carns are about to be astonished!
