The man shoves a hand into his pocket and focuses hard for a few seconds. Moments later he retrieves a handful of stuff.
"I've got like fifteen bucks, a stick of gum, and a coupon for Leblanc's. The last one might not be any good, seems the place closed down for a bit due to a murder."
He pockets the items and throws his hands up.
"Wasn't me...this time... I promise! SCOUT'S HONOR!"
Seeing the young man and the young girl take a dive towards the abyss caused the man to rub at his temples once more. But for the moment he left them be as he heard a familiar name be brought up by an unfortunate acquaintance.
"Oh. I was wondering who was wearing that gaudy armor. I'll have you know that what I've got in store for you is nothing like your previous experience. No. I wouldn't want to disappoint a snobbish reviewer like yourself!"
A pair of black orbs with beady red eyes appear in the man's hands as he watches the pair continue to fall, except now they'd find themselves coming from the ceiling.
"Let's wrangle our guests and bring them back to relative safety, shall we? RABBIT AND RABBIT: AWAKENING MODE!"
The orbs unfurl to reveal themselves as pitch black rabbits before glowing and leaping from the man's hands. The first would begin to become longer, taller, and its chest and ears would gain a considerable amount of fluff. The second would grow too, however it would seem to gain other features such as a little suit, a bowtie, a pair of glasses, and a large device drapped over its shoulder.
The light would subside to reveal the first rabbit as the patchwork furred Hare of Inaba upon landing. Waiting for Akio's barrier to be at an optimal height it leaps out over the abyss and lands on it, adjusting its course to land back on the platform. The hare would begin to speak to Akio mid flight.
"Gee! You sure are silly! It wasn't even a trick and you called him a liar! Of course you wouldn't be able to use the stairs right away, that much is true!"
The secondary light would fade as the ever punctual Clock Rabbit lands. He prepares a hefty hop and jumps towards the falling stairs where Luna was. He'd land and quickly grab her by the arm.
"Oh this simply won't do! You'll be late, late, LATE! Hurry now!"
Much like Akio, she is brought back to the platform and the rabbit duo jump backwards to gain some distance. Another snap could be heard as barrier is erected around the edges of the ring.
"Now then. The rules are simple... beat each platform guardian and you'll make it up to beat me. Okay? Begin when ready!"
