Description
What has the world slipped to? I wouldn't say slip, more like walked in to with out knowing. But all seemed fine 50 years ago. NO IT WASN'T!! The world was never fine! There was always a war going on, and crime, and disease, and murder, and rape, and economic depression. That's how we got in this mess inst it? Ya, that and science. Huh, but science is a good thing? It was … until the United States couldn't pay off their debt fast enough and … well you should know the rest… World war three… right…

"SIR SIR!!"
"Calm yourself general! Now tell me what is it?"
"A large portion of the Chinese army has just blockaded the west and east sea board!"
"WHAT?! Blast the Chinese out numbered us four to one 50 years ago, but now they have us at TEN TO ONE! What do we do?"
The general and the war officer sat in a room, covered floor to ceiling with sand bags, though they could do little agenst today's bombs. But it was all they had; all the good protection was going to the civilians. Just then dr. Logan came bursting through the door.
Dr. Logan had been in charge of creating military defenses for the past thirty years but had retired awhile ago, just before the war started.
"Dr. Logan! But shouldn't you be at home protecting the civilians taking heed there?!" the war officer shouted at the sudden entry of his college.
"I was, but I have created a weapon that just might help you win the war!"
"Well show it to us then!" the general called.
"I call it kakushi heishi. Or hidden soldier." The Dr. slowly pulled his pack to his front, and pulled out a … bunny.
"Dr. you do know that's a bunny?" the war officer asked.
"Oh but it's not! This is a piece of highly advanced micro intelligence hardware. It looks like a bunny but it is programmed to act just like a soldier. To defend its country at all costs."
"Yes but what does it do, exactly?" the general said getting just a bit impatient.
"Well, many things. It can hear things perfectly clear for up to twenty miles, sense heat radiations, dig underground passageways large enough for an average sized man to fit through, see in the dark, they can emit lazars from the eyes and mouth, and in times of desperation they have needle shape claws."
"Vary intriguing Dr.!" the war officer exclaimed.
"I do believe you've out done yourself!" the general remarked.
Suddenly the pack moved.
"What was that?" the general said. The Dr. gave both of them a nervous glance at the both of them, like he was making sure he could trust both of them.
"Do you remember my wife Alea?" he asked.
"I do." Said the officer. "She was a match for Albert Einstein, truly a genus."
The Dr. smiled at the memory of his wife.
"Such a sham she had to let science get the best of her though."
Logan's eyes glossed over. He could just see that news headline in his head.
'Dr. Alea Logan killed in radio active experiment!'
"Yes well after she dyed I took a sample of her DNA from … her brain. And that is what I used to make kakushi heishi so intelligent. But I didn't get the mix right the first time … or the second so the bunny that came out, came out a bit confused and humanoid-ish."
The Dr. slowly reached in his backpack and pulled out two bunny children looking creatures. They were tall and scrawny, one looked like a boy and one looked like a girl. They were pretty much the same in appearance but the boy one looked a bit more … messed up. He had probably been the first to be made.
"Wait didn't you wife die in a RADIO ACTIVE explosion?" the general said standing up.
"Yes…"
"And you took the sample from her brain, RIGHT after the explosion?"
"The day after. Why?"
"Those bunny things are radio active." The officer finished for him.
Logan had a look of pure horror plastered to his face, like he had just found out that his kids were going to be taken from him. And in a weird sense they were.
"But…"
"I'm sorry Dr. but we can not afford to have toxic bunny weapons running around."
"But-"
"We're not weapons." Every one looked to the boyish bunny, who had just spoken.
"It talks!!" the general shouted.
"We … we talk. Not it. We're not 'it's'" the girlish one said, like it had just been awakened. She had a small rather timid voice. Like she was scared.
The two bunny children stood up to full height, that being about 6ft. they looked like simplified people with fur, and bunny feet. Really the only messed up looking this about them were the hands, which were like claws. And the eyes. They were perfectly round but because they had no eyebrows, the eyes bent to show emotion. Also instead of a white eye with an iris and a black pupil, they had black eyes with white pupils.
"Please sirs I've been working on fixing them." Logan begged. The boy gritted his teeth. He obviously didn't like the way Logan had worded that but he knew it was true.
"I'm sorry Dr. but with the war going the way it is you have much more important matters." The general said. "You're going to have to shut them down or we will." The officer nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." The boy said.
"Please isn't they're something we can do to change your mind?" the girl begged.
"I wish there was. But sadly there is nothing to be done." The officer had a look of pity on his face. See the general was much younger than the officer. His was born in to the war, but the officer was much older his was born before the war, before mankind turned there back to something that was all around them. The dr. and the officer had gone to college together, they knew each other. Logan had always wanted kids but … well … his sperm were invalid. It just wouldn't work. 'Who knows how long these three have been around each other. Logan probably refers to them as son and daughter. And they probably think of his as a father. It wouldn't surprise me. I wish I didn't have to do this but it's just to risky not to.'
The officer noticed the boy was clenching his hands into a fist as well as his teeth into a very mad frown but there was just the slightest hint of scared in his features.
"Please." The girl begged. "Shutting us down would be the same as killing us! Where's your humanity?"
"Alea!" Logan was about to scolder her for using that tone with his colleges, but the general cut him off.
"You named them?!"
"Well, yes, but-"
"NO! Logan these mistakes are going to be shutdown right now!" the general moved over to them to carry out his threat, but only got about half way.

SMACK

"You son of a bitch!" the boy had punched the general straight in the face, who was now on his but bleeding profusely from the nose and just a bit from the mouth.
"Cail!" Logan called, unsure of what else to do.
"Did it ever occur to you that we might be, I dunno something other than a mistake? What ever happened to everything happens for a reason?"
"That is a child's fantasy." The officer said, as calm as ever. "There is no science behind it only false hope that bad things happen for good reason. Tell me do you think this war happened for a reason?"
"Yes."
"Then why. Why are thousands of innocent people dying every day?"
"Because you were to stupid to see that you were digging your grave until you fell into it. But if you act quickly you can stop this, reflect on what has happened and learn from it. Make the world better before you lose it forever."
"To make the world a better place?" the general stood up wiping the blood from his mouth. "What are you five? It's to late for that! The only way to win now is to kill the resistance!"
"Kill kill kill. Can't you think of anything just a bit more constructive for a half a second?"
"Not until the resistance is destroyed. Starting with you two!" he didn't waste anytime charging toward the two with a knife that he had pulled out from seemingly nowhere. He when for Alea and go a good sized gash in her right arm, before Cail punching him in the stomach and snapped his neck with the knee he had wrapped around it. The general fell to the floor paralyzed.
"Alea move now!" Cail grabbed her hand and ran for their lives.
"But Cail-" nothing else could be heard as they were long gone.
Silence…
The officer walked up to the dr. and only stopped when his mouth was next to his ear.
"You forget and I'll forget. Just go home and act like this never happened. I'll put some anisette in the general. Go home forget. And don't ever remember."

"Cail where are we going?"
"Away." There were running frantically through one of the only forests left with absolutely no idea what to do, or where to go.
"Cail… CAIL!" Cail suddenly collapsed on the forest floor, but no sooner that he had fallen Alea collapsed as well. See they had no idea but they had been running for fifteen hours straight. They were lost with out a clue, crumb or idea. Only each other. How long would you last like that?
