BLADE BUNNY VOL 2 (2016)

"Bunny, the world's ditziest assassin, has been dispatched by the dragon Ao Lung on a quest to retrieve an ancient artifact before it falls into evil hands. At long last, she and Ao Lung's pupil Kyoto have reached the monastery from which the pearl was stolen, but the monks there are acting rather strange...possibly because Bunny punched one of them."

"Having promised Kyoto to behave, Bunny reins herself in from causing (too much) trouble at the monastery. But between meeting Jin, a quiet, ordinary orphan (which means he MUST be important) and Yue-Shi, the immortal Son of the Sun and the Moon (who tells long, boring stories), it's REALLY tough to behave...then the alarm sounds! "

"The monks at Flame Spire Monastery are all set to light their fires to summon spirits in their defense. Bunny knows the spires are rigged, though...it's what she would do. But it's all good, 'cause Bunny's stopped two of the pyre-lighters, and Kyoko stopped one (despite Bunny throwing her off a roof), and Jin's stopped the...fourth...didn't he...?"

"Despite Bunny, Kyoto and Jin's best efforts, one of the monastery's booby-trapped flame spires has been lit, summoning a horde of demons who seek the Pearl of Wisdom. With the trio dangling from a collapsing bridge over a deep ravine, a vicious chimera at Jin's arm, Jin makes the ultimate sacrifice...but will Bunny let him get away with it?"

"Pursued by demons summoned by the booby-trapped signal fires of Flame Spire Monastery, Jin attempted the ultimate sacrifice to save Kyoto and Bunny, but now it appears Bunny has done so in his place. Now he and Kyoto must face the menace of the monk Yue-Shi without their kooky but deadly capable companion!"

"Bunny, Kyoto, and Jin enter the town of Fengmen, but rapidly find themselves surrounded by angry locals, including a thief whom Bunny tricked earlier. Our heroes (well, protagonists) quickly start kicking tail, but darn it, at least one of these guys just won't stay dead!"

"Bunny squares off against a mighty foe of the mindscape, a being who has captured Jin and Kyoto, plotting to tap Jin's vast power to preserve her existence and keep herself strong. But Bunny actually IS smarter than she lets on, and just needs to--aw, crud, why'd somebody wake her up?"

"Having returned to the real world, (such as it is), Bunny manages to reunite with Jin and two assassins who are no longer out to kill her, and she does NOT want that moment spoiled by an evil entity controlling an entire town's minds to get Jin. Then she learns said entity has hurt Kyoto. NOW she's mad."

"With Jin captured and Kyoto left mute by the ancient demoness Jian (or 'Sherri', as Bunny calls her), Bunny must decide whether to do the smart thing by cutting her losses, or be brave/stupid and cut up some bad guys. Aw, who are we kidding? Prepare for carnage!"

"With Jin and Kyoto freed from the demon-possessed Jian/'Sherri', Jin reveals that the sacred pearl Kyoto and Bunny were sent to destroy actually contains his true immortal essence and could not be damaged by any non-godly force. So what's a Bunny to do? How about convince the dragon Ao Lung that his mission to get her and Kyoto to unwittingly kill an innocent god-child is complete?"
