## Story One

*"Rabbot Rebound" - Part 1: Low Battery*
In the Great Desert, Sand-Blasters are seen attacking the Great Desert Dark Egg Legionnaires, only for one of them to get punched by the cyborg arm of a now legionized Bunnie. Recognizing her, they try to go after her, only to be driven away. Despondent, when she is complimented by the Legionnaires, Bunnie replies that she is merely "doing what she needs to do" and walks away.

A few weeks prior, Beauregard was planning with Matilda against the Sand-Blasters, when Bunnie is brought to her uncle. The Legionnaire explains that Bunnie surrendered immediately on arrival much to his confusion. Beauregard then asks Matilda to give the two some privacy. After some silence from Bunnie, with Beauregard realizing she's been deroboticized, she reluctantly asks her uncle to legionize her, who in turn hugs her and wants to know what happened.

After Bunnie explained to Beauregard what happened to her since their last meeting, she becomes enraged when Beauregard says he's sorry for her, but doesn’t have sympathy for Sally and Antoine. Beauregard then brings up the history between Bunnie's family and the Acorns, and that what her parents did was heroic and they were, in a way, the original Freedom Fighters. Bunnie in turn brings up her parents abandoning her, only to be killed by the very people they were conspiring with, leaving her with none. As their argument calmed down, Bunnie doubles down on being legionized despite her uncle's pleading her to reconsider, as her cybernetics would have bombs in it if she was legionized, but she refuses. The next day, as Bunnie is prepared to be legionized, the surgeon tries to explain how long Bunnie would be rehabilitated, since the process of legionization will be incredibly painful and that it’ll take a month or two of rehabilitation to return to normal functions with the new limbs. Bunnie, however, insists that she'd be back on her feet within less than a week, telling the surgeon to get on with it.

With her robotic body now restored, Bunnie is being told by Beauregard that Eggman needs an oil shipment made to the Dragon Kingdom for a new project, and while he doesn’t know what it’s for, the Grandmaster of that region was insistent on it. Putting Kommissar Lesath in charge of the shipment, Bunnie is assigned to aid D.E.L. Kommissar and ensure that Eggman’s oil shipment gets to the Dragon Kingdom safely. After leaving the rest to prepare, Beauregard reminds Bunnie about Eggman and how he'd react to failure.

Before going on the mission, she visits Matilda, who was still remaining at the camp due to her injuries. Bunnie explains she's checking up on her, while confessing trying to not be thinking on everything that happened, but Matilda explains that when she lost touch with her feelings, she became cold and distant, something she doesn’t to happen to Bunnie, and she reassures her that people will always care about her.

On the way to the Dragon Kingdom, the D.E.L. spot some Sandblasters up ahead, which they ask Bunnie to help beat them up. However, Tex paralyzes Bunnie with an EMP and she falls over, while Jack arrives and captures her along with the oil shipment. After Bunnie was locked behind one of the Sand-Blaster's jail cells, Jack taunts her by thanking her for the oil, saying that he’ll get even more stuff off her uncle, because he’ll do anything to get her back. Nonchalant, Bunnie then asks about how the Sand-Blasters would torture her, which caught them off guard, and Jack stammers that she’ll have to wait to find out. As the Sand-Blasters leave, they keep Scarlett O’Fenn to keep an eye on Bunnie, with Jack noting that he'd execute her himself after her usefulness is gone.
