War on Quexxiji

    As it turns out there had been a war going on in Quexxiji for several years now.  The two sides had soon grown tired of fighting all the time so they decided to each send a small group to battle for an hour or two every day.  It wasn't a very formal war, in fact it only wore jeans and a t-shirt, so nothing was really set.  Everyone was constantly switching sides and on some days, especially weekends, nobody even showed up to fight because they had better things to do.  As soon as RoboRabbit and Killer Kangaroo heard of this was they elected to join in, often switching sides like everyone else.  RoboRabbit strove to participate in the battle every day, but Megano, Dolf, and the little red owl never even watched one of the battles.
    The fighting arts of the inhabitants of Quexxiji were very different from those RoboRabbit and Killer Kangaroo were used to, so they spent most of their early battles accustoming themselves to the native style.  In addition, none of RoboRabbit's weapons were permitted on the battlefield, forcing him to become and expert in hand to hand and foot to foot combat.  In one battle, RoboRabbit was charging the enemy and noticed that one of them was sneaking around behind all of his teammates.  RoboRabbit immediately halted his charge and bolted back to this sneaky snake in one hop.  He quickly dispatched him and noticed more enemies sneaking through, which he did his best to fight off.  This became RoboRabbit's main objective in all of the battles henceforth.  It seemed that no one else was defending the bases, so he made it his job.  In fact, RoboRabbit soon found that he was much better at defense than offense.
    But wait, you've read nothing yet.  After he was defending for quite some time and there was a lull in the attacking, he saw the enemy beginning to bombard him with all kinds of cowrap.  He soon found himself dodging a wrench, dodging a ball, driving a sandwich, avoiding a giant baby head, eating peanut and snowball projectiles, having to use the bathroom, exposing the phantom of the opera, flying faster than an unladen swallow, and wondering whether it was an African or European swallow, at which point his side won the battle.  And that was just one of the battles.
    Okay, like this one time, RoboRabbit was out in the parking lot trying to remove his excess ear wax with a golf pencil, when he saw this guy Marty trying to carry a big ol' sofa up the stairs by himself.  So RoboRabbit says to him, he says, "Hey, do you want me to help you with that?"  And Marty, he just rolls his eyes and goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw."  So RoboRabbit did.  And then he starts getting all indignant, he's like, "Hey, man!  I was just being sarcastic!"  Well that's just great.  How was RoboRabbit supposed to know that?  He's not a mind reader for crying out loud.  Besides, now Marty's got a really cute nickname, Torso Boy, so what's he complaining about?
