2005 TTA Fan Fiction Mailers
2006 TTA Fan Fiction Mailers
Hiya, Toonsters, and welcome to the January 15th, 2006 Mailer for the Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Mailing List!
Well, whattaya know, a new year, and we are off to a good start. The first mailer of 2006 is actually on time! I don't know about you, but I think that's good.
And now for a very SPECIAL announcement. On March 1st, 1996, a new mailing list arrived on the Internet. It was called the Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Mailing List. That's right, folks, our little corner of cyberspace celebrates it's 10th anniversary in just about a month and a half! It is my hope that this occasion can be marked with special artwork, stories, and remembrances of longtime members. If you can provide any, or all, of those three things, please contact me with them by February 15th, 2006, so that I can include them in a special mailer to be released on March 1st. Let's have some fun with this, folks, I think we'll be happy if we do.
Okay, so onto this month's new stuff. I have no new stories, but I do have one new bit of artwork. Spampire.jpg, drawn by Thorne (ttathorne [at] mindspring [dot] com) is based upon Able DuSable's Spooky Stories 2. I say based because it's not from an acutal scene in the story, but rather something that "didn't happen" but which Thorne wanted to draw. I for one, am glad he did.
And that, for this month, is all. So, I guess all I have to say until next month is,
Stay Tooned.

Hiya, Toonsters, and welcome to the February 15th, 2006 Mailer for the Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Mailing List.
Well, much has happened with me personally since the last Mailer, not much of it good.
My book has been rejected by two publishers, I've lost my job, and just recently, my Mom took a tumble and is hurting from it. But aside from that, things aren't so bad, and, I do have a Mailer for you, and on time!
Anywhoo... A couple of announcements. In two weeks is will be March 1st. It will also be 10 years to the day since this Mailing List was created. I am planning a special mailer for that day, hopefully with special commemorative pics, stories, and commentary from people who worked on the show! Some of this is already in existance, so keep you eyes peeled!
More word is spreading about an Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain coming out on DVD this summer. I have not seen any offical word from WB, but the rumors seem to be very promising. I will make more difinitive announcements as I learn more. But so far, no word on TTA. :(
And so, now we come to this month's goodies.
In the Fanfic realm we have 2 stories. One is by Duo Maxwell (blackgaia02 [at] yahoo [dot] com) called Metal Angel Zeiryu-Oh Program 1: Beginning! Unleash the Z-Project! We have here a kind of TTA Anime story, about giant robots, and a plot to take over the world! I hope you all enjoy it.
And next we have a story by Eric D Hound (erico [at] carolina [dot] rr [dot] com) called Frame Up. Now, this story is special in that it is a multi-page comic book! It's about someone posting a not very fattering pic of Fifi La Fume in the newspaper and getting Eric framed for it. Hillarity ensues, and, well, this is just the begining!
Moving on to Fanfic based pics, we have several drawn by Pepe K based upon part 18, and the as yet unreleased part 19 of his story. There are here described in his own words...
======
For "A Time To Every Purpose Unto Heaven" Part 18:
"ATTEPUH18-13copy.jpg" - the color rendering of all thirteen Toonsters in the Berth Deck of the USS MONITOR, This pic is an interesting study in reactions. It is happening just a moment after everyone returns to being their toon forms from being inside their human hosts. Fifi was coming down the stairs, was surprized and slipped. She is falling and Hamton is reacting by trying to catch her. Furball is wringing out his soggy tail, as just about everyone had gotten soaking wet. Plucky, released from the confines of his stoic host, is finally free to race to the bathroom to be seasick as Shirley laughs and a very wet Babs and Wakko look on. Arnold and Calamity look out of the ship's galley after leaving the engine room behind it. Buster, Fowlmouth and Mary are relieved and happy to be themselves once more, knowing that they'll soon be going home. Gogo has sought out the wackiest thing he can do and is sitting inside a canvas bailing bucket.
"ATTEPUH18-6.jpg" - the same pic in it's uncolored, and somewhat more detailed form.
"MONITOR-1.jpg" - also from ATTEPUH Part 18, showing the USS MONITOR as she appeared the night of March 7th, 1862 off the coast of Maryland from the stern view, showing Fifi calling to a suicidal Dr. Lord.
"DistressSignals.jpg" - the same with some CGI atmosphere of the building time-storm.
From ATTEPUH 19:
"BorisThe SpiderC.jpg" - The color version of Hamton having a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Boris Chachka, the old B&W toon spider.
"BorisThe Spider.jpg" - the same in it's original B&W.
Many thanks to Thorne Mouse and Leloni Bunny for teaching me to try using advanced PhotoShop and to HKUriah for posting it all.

Also be sure to check out the Doodle Page, there some new stuff there as well.
And that, as they say, is that. That's all I have, there isn't any more now, the lot is closing, and Wakko's gotta eat...
Oops...
Never mind.
Anywhoo, hope you all enjoyed the mailer, and that you like the stuff given to us by the many talented artists who have contibuted.
So, until next time...
Stay tooned!

Prologue:
In the city of New Delhi, India, the people were running for
their lives. A gigantic robot reassembling an Octopus is wreaking
havoc into the city. Some people try to escape from the destruction
the robot caused. It destroyed some of the buildings and important
structures in the city.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The people screamed as the robot destroyed
everything, including some public roads. The havoc is so severe, the
army decided to take extreme measures. They unleashed jet fighters
and tanks to battle the enemy robot. The jet fighters fired missiles
and the tanks shoots cannons to the enemy. It was a clean hit, until
one of its tentacles attacked the tanks and causing them to explode.
The jet fighters launched another missile barrage, but it was slashed
in two because of the robot’s sharp tentacles. The robot attacked the
jet fighters and slashed them in half, causing them to explode.
Because of this, the United Nations held a meeting in the headquarters
in New York about the robot mayhem.
"This is insane! That monster destroyed one city and all of our
troops were eliminated!!!" Said one of the ambassadors.
"Et ez some kind of le joke! What could we do about zis mess?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Said another ambassador, who is now smoking in fear, all the members of the
UN were complaining about the incident, until the president started to
talk.
"I know that we were in a big problem. That robot monster is
causing so much destruction, he could destroy the world!!!"
"That’s a big problem we need to solve Mr. President."
All the ambassadors and the president turned around to the
source of the voice. It was Dr. Scratchansniff, who is looking
seriously to the members of the UN. "Dr. Scratchansniff!! What do you
know about this problem?!?" The President asked seriously.
"Simple. That monster came from an unknown enemy who bets on world
domination. And I’m sure that Pinky and The Brain is behind this." The doctor said
seriously.
"Impossible!! The CEO said that the Animaniacs captured
the two after their failed attempt on stealing 24 scripts at Warner
Brother Studios ten years ago!!!
How could they escape?!?" The president asked.
"Someone helped them, and I bet they have great power to unleash
this Robot." The doctor replied.
"But how we can defeat this robotic mayhem doctor?" The president
asked.
"We can’t sacrifice more lives for such fools like them!!" One of
the ambassadors growled. Everyone in the room broke down as they complain
about the problem.
The doctor shouted at the top of his voice. "ALL OF YOU!!!!
CALM DOWN!!! There is one way we can do." The doctor said.
"What kind?" The president said. "We need to unlock……… the Z-Project."
The doctor answered.
"But doctor, the Z-Project wasn’t continued because no one can fully utilize
it." The president said.
"We can fully activate Z-Project. And I know some
persons who can do it." The doctor said calmly.

Fade in
Wide shot - ACME Looniversity - Day
Camera pans scene.
INT - Corridors - Day
The school bell rings. Everyone at the Loo is going to their proper
classrooms. As usual, Buster, Babs and Plucky were walking together
on their way to their classrooms.
Buster
At least all of us were here.
Plucky
C’mon! I don’t want to talk about what happened yesterday.
Babs
At least you are popular.
Plucky
(Annoyed Tone)
Shut up pink ears! I look really stupid!
Buster
Relax Plucky. It’s not that bad.
>Shirley, Fifi and Hamton appeared, walking in the corridors.
The three greeted the other toons.
Hamton.
Hi Buster. Hi Babs. Hi Plucky.
Buster
Hi Hamton.
Fifi
Is Plucky mad at yesterday? I heard he hit a haywired vending
machine, and he jolted like a Christmas Light.
Shirley
Like your cosmic center is unbalanced or some junk.
Plucky
Laugh at you want.
>Plucky leaved the five toonsters behind, annoyed.
Babs
Buster, don’t you feel anything strange?
Buster
About what?
Babs
About our appearance, we look like Japanese Anime Characters right now.
More than that, we have extra hair, full clothes and accessories.
Buster
Well Babsy, you always look good, including your hair.
Babs
I guess so. Does my hair match with my earbows.
Hamton
(Doing a smart remark)
I do notice that Plucky had a major animation makeover. He has
improved my appearance a bit also. I think!
Babs
And also he now wears pants, jacket and some sort of gloves.
>Fifi pulls out a mirror out of nowhere and checks her appearance.
Fifi
I did have a good makeover too. I do now wear clothes and some
gloves. And my hair did have a good style. And my voice was
improved a bit.
Shirley
And like, I have improved my hair and my clothes or some junk.
Buster
I do notice I had pants. There’s only one conclusion; our
appearance has changed so we can fully adapt to the story.
The author said this is a Super Robot Series right now.
Babs
Super Robot Series?!? That means we can ride some cool and
beautiful robots?
Buster
I guess so. And our voice is now different. The ones from the
Japanese Dubbed Version of Tiny Toon Adventures give us this
nice anime voices.
Fifi
Hey Buster. I didn’t know I had a perfect English voice?
Everyone
We know!
>Foulmouth appears. He looked at Shirley in a good look.
Foulmouth
I didn’t know you have a cuter appearance, my Shirley. That
dadgumit Plucky will not date with my princess.
Shirley
Like get real Foulmouth. Let’s go.
>The five then leaves Foulmouth behind.
Foulmouth
Dadgumit! Wait!
>He followed the five toons to their classrooms.
INT – Classroom – Day
The toonsters were in a middle of a lesson named ‘Mentor 101’.
Bugs Bunny is writing some important lessons in the chalkboard
while discussing about today’s lesson. As usual, Buster, Babs,
Shirley, Plucky, Fifi and Hamton were taking down notes.
Bugs
(Writing in the chalkboard)
Okay. Now you know da thing on how I underestimate Marvin in
some of my cartoons, we’ll move on how Daffy underestimated him
when he’s playing the role of Duck Dodgers.
Fifi
(Looks at Plucky)
Plucky, did your mentor played the role of Duck Dodgers?
Plucky
Sure. I heard that both Porky and Daffy were popular,
especially my mentor……
Buster
……Who always falls flat on his beak, kinda reminds me
of you Plucky.
Plucky
Hardy Har Har! You also take the beating also, rabbit.
Buster
Whatever.
Babs
C’mon you two, were in the middle of a class here.
Buster and Plucky
We know. We know.
Fifi
You know that our mentors did some silly things before
they became mentors?
Hamton
I guess so Fifi.
Buster
C’mon gang! This is the cute part!
>The toons start to listen again.
Bugs
Daffy, or should I say, Duck Dodgers, did some wacky stunts
before he did a battle against Marvin. And because
of that………
Plucky
Wacky stunts, I didn’t know my mentor did that?
Fifi
Now I know about your clumsiness Plucky.
Babs
You know what they say, like mentor, like apprentice.
Plucky
What a blowhard.
Buster
Relax Plucky; at least you’re proud of that.
Shirley
Like, you have some ego or some junk to redo your
mentor’s old routines.
Plucky
I guess you’re right.
Babs
Let’s just listen okay.
Everyone
Sure.
>Everyone continued to listen to the mentor’s words. Then,
the bell rings, symbolizing the end of the class. Bugs picks
up his books and look to his students.
Bugs
Well, there’s da bell. We’ll continue the class tomorrow. Another
thing, da assignment about da basic laws of Toon Physics
will be due in Friday.
>There was a collective groan from everyone in the classroom.
Bugs
Not only that, we will have a quiz in that day too, any
questions? No? Okay, class dismissed.
>General sounds of kids chatting as Bugs exits the classroom.
The six is still worried about their project and the quiz.
Buster
Okay, so we have ‘till Friday for the project.
Babs
So what are we going to do then?
Fifi
(Worried Tone)
I should consult Hamton for this assignment.
Shirley
Sorry Fifi. But one of us must, like, have different
answers or some junk.
Plucky
(Looking at the Camera)
I bet this is stupid.
Buster
The assignment is one thing, but the quiz is another thing
that his hard to chew. Some of us almost got an F.
>Everyone including the camera looks at Babs in
disappointed looks.
Babs
(Smug Tone)
Hey! It’s just a spelling mistake.
Hamton
Let’s just think about this in the cafeteria.
I’m kinda hungry.
>Everyone agrees, and the six of them go
to the cafeteria.
INT – Cafeteria – Noon
Everyone was now busy eating and thinking
about their problem.
Buster
So what are the five basic laws of Toon Physics?
Hamton
Buster, you haven’t figured that one out?
Buster
I guess so.
Plucky
(To audience)
Man! He looks worried. He can’t even solve the simple
physics problem Ha. Ha. Ha.
(To Buster)
Well, that should be easy to master. Since Shirley
became my assistant.
>Shirley is annoyed. She fired a lightning bolt at Plucky,
frying him out. She blows the smoke on her finger out.
Shirley
(Annoyed tone)
Like what did you say?
Plucky
(Trying to pull himself together)
Nothing.
Fifi
Sure is a hard day.
Babs
I guess so fif. After were done here, we can go to the
library about our assignment.
Buster
Yeah, I don’t want to have another B+ again and……
>Buster will say some words until right on cue, the words
“Come back my kitty-witty!” was heard in the cafeteria. They
saw Elmyra, who is now chasing Furball in a pursuit.
Elmyra’s POV:
She is trying to get Furball in a FPV. A crosshair is shown
to aim to the target.
Bird’s Eye View:
The people inside the cafeteria sat the two in a chase that
lasted about 15 minutes. Then, Furball crashed to the six
toonsters, followed by Elmyra, who also crashed to the
toonsters themselves. Buster and the Gang tried to move.
Buster:
(Angry tone)
OUCH! Elmyra!
Elmyra
Sorry, my bunny-wunny! You see, my kitty-witty tried to
escape me again.
Furball
Oh yeah! Try to get close and that’s…
>Everyone looks at Furball in blank looks. This is the first
time that everyone heard Furball talked in their whole lives.
Furball
Meow. Gulp.
Plucky
(Confused)
Is it just me? Or that blue cat talked for the first time?
Buster
Yeah. This is the first time Furball talked.
Babs
His voice is kind of, a bit childish.
Shirley
But like I heard that only his mentor Sylvester can talk.
He can’t really talk or some junk.
Furball
Okay! You got me in that one. The loon’s right. I can really
talk. But I wanted to hide this so no one can notice. It’s
just that I’m like Chaplin.
Fifi
So why don’t you tell us about this? You didn’t speak for
about ten years.
Furball
Hello Ms. Mega-flirt! I’m the silent type. And………
>Elmyra gives Furball a deadly bear hug. He squishes and
hugged the cat tightly.
Elmyra
Ewoooo! My talking kitty-witty! I didn’t know you kept a
secret from meeee!
Furball
(Choking and running out of oxygen)
T..hanks… So would…you……mind LETTING ME GO?!?!?!?!?!? I
CAN’T BREATHE!!!!!!!
Elmyra
But kitty-witty? You looked so cute on that.
Furball
(Tried to talk)
Some……one…help.
>Furball fainted because of lack of Oxygen.
Hamton
Elmyra, would you mind letting him go, please?
Elmyra
Alright.
>She immediately let Furball go. Buster rushed to the
cat to see he’s okay.
Buster
Are you okay?
Furball
(Recovering)
Yes. And you guys must know this. I’m actually…………
INT – Principal’s Office – Afternoon
Everyone is surprised on what they heard. Furball explained
to the gang about his real self, identity and the place he
really worked. Bugs also know this secret.
Buster
You’re an agent of the CEO?!? I thought the Warner Siblings
were the agents?
Furball
Them? They sometimes fail you know? I’m the most expert of all
CEO agents. My real name is Luthenant Furaba Theodore Cat. I
shorted my named to Furball, so no one notices. I’m an S-Class
spy of the CEO.
Fifi
S what?
Shirley
S-Class, as in Superior Class?
Fifi
Oh? So why didn’t you tell me Superior?
Shirley
(Signed)
Just figure it out for yourself.
Babs
So Mr. Bugs? You know about this?
Bugs
Yep. I really know Furball and Dr. Scratchansniff for a long time.
We Looney Tunes kept a gigantic secret in Acme Acres.
Elmyra
So, why you didn’t tell us about it?
Plucky
Yeah!
Furball
(Cool voice)
Because it’s top secret, I, the Looney Tunes and the members of
the CEO can access it. Unless you guys were members, and besides,
I don’t think you got what it takes to be one.
Buster
(Angry tone)
Why you?!?
Furball
So what are you going to do bunny? Tear me apart?
>That blows the fuse. Buster rushed to Furball for a fight.
Until Babs controls the situation.
Babs
(Interrupting the two)
Stop it! You know he’s keeping a secret for a long time.
Buster
But?
Hamton
She’s right. We don’t have license to do it.
Fifi
(Thinking)
But how did the school has this secret?
Voice
That’s the thing you must discover for yourself.
>All of them then turned around to the source of the voice. Five
people were standing in the front door in Bugs’s office. One of
them is Dr. Scratchansniff, the leader of the CEO. The other is
Lola Bunny, Bugs Bunny’s girlfriend. Next is Pepe Le Pew, Fifi’s
mentor. The two more were strange, a woman who wears command
military clothes and has the same hair color as Elmyra. The other
is a skunk, about 20 years old, who wears a strange mask. Silence
fills the room, until Elmyra breaks the silence.
Elmyra
(Rushing on to the girl and hugging her.)
Sister!
Girl
Elmyra! I didn’t know you were studying on this school. So
these are your friends, right?
Elmyra
Uh huh.
>Elmyra then let go of the girl she called sister. The toonsters
were confused on the reunion.
Plucky
(Starts scratching his head)
Hey! Could you explain to us what was going on now?
Elmyra
Well, it’s simple Mr. Quack, sister?
Girl
Yes, my name is Calnasa Duff, CEO’s commander in training
and Elmyra’s older sister.
Everyone
YOUR OLDER SISTER?!?
Buster
So you mean this girl is your sister? That means she
must be as dumb as you are.
Calnasa
What?
Babs
So you mean you’re not as dumb as Elmyra?
Calnasa
Of course not, you must be Babs Bunny right? My little sister
heard of you guys very much. You must be in love with Buster,
right?
>Buster and Bab’s faces started to glow in deep red color.
Calnasa
I’m sorry. So are you also one of Elmyra’s friends?
Shirley
Yes Calnasa. We are her friends. And could you, like explain
why Dr. Scratchansniff is here?
Pepe
Dr. Scratchansniff zis Calnasa’s supérieur. Vous see, she’s
un commander in training, and soon take over le sien place.
Dr. Scratchansniff
Mr. Le Pew’s right. Furaba, you did a good job on guarding the
Z-Project for about 20 years now. Now the Tiny Toons knows about it.
Furball
(Apologizing)
Sorry commander. I don’t know they noticed my true purpose on
why I’m one of the casts of Tiny Toon Adventures.
Plucky
(Approaching to the masked Skunk)
What’s with the mask?
Masked Skunk
You don’t wanna know, duck.
Plucky
(Annoyed Tone)
Darn!
Calnasa
Sorry. His name is G. He’s also one of our best agents. And he
doesn’t want to remove his mask for some reason.
Plucky
Sure, like he’s like a reject from a Halloween Party. That mask
may look like from those in the supermarkets!
>Plucky laughed. Those words makes G flinch.
G
(A bit annoyed)
Right, now you know why I’m always using this mask.
Bugs
Well kiddos, we have some things you must know. And this one
is really serious.
Lola
All of us were aware on this situation. You see, Acme Acres is
once a secret weapons factory. Dr. Scratchansniff created a
powerful robot that could save mankind from an alien invasion.
Buster
On what kind Ms. Lola?
Lola
The Rhapsody Empire.
Fifi
Rhapsody, you mean a song?
Bugs
(Serious Tone)
Not da song Fifi, she means Rhapsody Empire. They were beginning
their attack on some parts of the globe. The recent attacks
were in India.
Babs
(Worried)
That was awful.
Shirley
So, is the project is in Acme Acres?
Dr. Scratchansniff
Yes. The project for the ultimate robot began about 20 years ago.
>The camera view begins to ripple like waves on a pond, becoming
fuzzy and distorted; the view fades into almost nothingness.
Then the scene opens in a research island that was soon becomes
Acme Acres.
Dr. Scratchansniff
20 Years ago, Acme Acres is once a research island for top secret
weapons. The weapons developed here were watched by the United
Nations.
Buster
You mean this place is once a lab?
Lola
More that that. We Looney Tunes were also researching on a
powerful weapons also. Egghead Jr. developed the blueprints
for the Z-Project.
Pepe
And also, ze project is made by ze doctor, us and ze research team
of developers and archeologist who studied ze project years ago.
> A montage of clips goes by; a scene inside a laboratory shows
Dr. Scratchansniff in his younger age, the members of the Looney
Tunes and some scientist and designers who worked in the project.
Bugs
Those blueprints were divided into four robots, Zeiryu, The
metal knight, Leos, The burning lion, Leviatan, The twin headed
dragon and Zephir Eagle, The ancient bird.
Calnasa
Each of those robots has a corresponding element represented.
Zeiryu symbolizes the Earth, Leos symbolizes the Fire, Leviatan
symbolizes the Water and Zephir Eagle symbolizes the Wind. This
is shown in an ancient writing that was dug out years ago.
>A scene then shows an ancient script about the four elemental
warriors, the ancient drawings is just like what Calnasa said.
Fifi
Earth, Fire, Wind and Water, those were the four sacred elements!
Buster
(Confused)
I didn’t noticed that Fifi.
Fifi
You don’t?
Buster
Not in my life.
Dr. Scratchansniff
In some matters, the project has started. We spend about 20 years
creating some parts, assembling the units and using some information
we had on the ancient scripts. The result is a success, Zeiryu,
Zephir Eagle, Leos and Leviatan were created. Some problems were
beginning to spring up, on how we can combine the four together.
Lola
Some of the researchers and the other members of the Looney Tunes
were searching for an answer on this problem. Until we found a
solution, there’s a prophecy that four hearts will combine together
and the ancient power those hearts will bring will come forth the
ancient Metal Angel.
G
The CEO is searching for the chosen toons that can do what the
prophecy told. We are doing this for about 9 years now. And we
found out who they are.
(Points his finger to Buster and the other toonsters)
You are the ones who can activate it.
Furball
So you know why I’m guarding the secret of Acme Acres for about
20 years now. Impressed?
Hamton
(Surprised)
Okay! So you mean some robot project is in OUR SCHOOL THE
WHOLE TIME?!?
Fifi
And we are the chosen toons? That is hard to swallow my dear Hamton.
Shirley
Like, some ancient prophecy wants us to protect the world or some junk.
Babs
Yeah Shirl, that story is hard to believe.
Buster
Sure does. But how can we………
>A gunshot is heard from the outside, they think its Yosamete Sam
practicing his sniping ability, but they were wrong. Some men crashed
into Bugs’s office, armed with guns and swords.
Babs
(Makes an impression)
Hey! I didn’t know it was Halloween?
Plucky
Maybe not! Friend of yours Furball?
Furball
Not in my life! Everyone! Get outside!
>Bugs, Lola, Elmyra, Calnasa, Pepe, the toonsters and the doctor
leaved the room immediately so they can save their butts. The men
started to fire their AK-17s to the targets. They missed the targets.
Both Furball and G were now is battle pose. The two noticed Buster
and the Gang coming back.
Furball
What are you doing here?!? Even you were the chosen toons, you
could be killed!
Buster
Hey! I can’t leave you here all by yourself. And besides,
you owe us one.
Babs
For a cat that can talk, you sure are difficult to tame.
Furball
(Proud Tone)
Really huh, Get a load of this!
>He then deployed his claws. Then a strange light is coming from
his claw and his claws extended about 7 inches. The toonsters were
impressed.
Hamton
That’s the thing we don’t see everyday.
Plucky
Actually, we need more space.
G
He’s right. Let’s take this battle outside, shall we?
EXT – School Lawn – Afternoon
>G, Furball and the toonsters went into the window, and landed in
the grounds below. The men did the same. The attack continues.
Furball starts to rush into the enemy, knocking them down with his
extended but powerful claws. Some of the men attacked the other
toonsters.
Man
You’re gonna die!!!!!
Buster
(Pulls out a bazooka)
Try if you can!
>With the pull of the trigger, he fired the bazooka and hit the
target in precise aim. Plucky and Hamton deployed their ACME Omega
Magnet and points it to the men who were after their lives. The
force of the magnet is so strong; the men were dragged in and crashed
into the magnet. The two made a significant discovery.
Plucky
Hey! They’re made of metal.
Hamton
Looks like the assassins were robot soldiers. Buster! Babs!
Babs
We know!
(Spin changes to Jackie Chan)
Let’s crash this party!
>Babs strikes the enemy, using her fists and kicks to totalize the
metal freaks. Buster rushed to one of the soldiers and strikes them
in the head. Fifi used her tail as a club to destroy the mechanical
mayhems because her fumes were ineffective against robots. G used
his knowledge on shooting against the robots.
G’s POV
>A crosshair is shown as a guide of precise shooting. He fired some
bullets to one of the suckers, turning them to scrap metal.
Normal View
>The robot became scrap metal. Furball still strikes the metal
soldiers with his claws and immediately defeating the whole
troop.
Furball
There. That’s the last of them.
Buster
Well, I really don’t want some metal soldiers to get pass to
our school.
>Right on cue, the Calnasa and the others rushed to the toonsters
to see if they are okay.
Bugs
(Panting)
Whew! I knew all of you will be alright.
Calnasa
(Looking at the pile of defeated robot guards)
What a mess. But how did the enemy knew that we were here?
Hamton
Well, we don’t know why these soldiers wanted the doctor’s life?
Fifi
(Notices a red spot on Pepe’s tail)
Huh?
>She looked and analyzed her mentor’s tail for some time.
She then pulls out a hairpin.
Pepe
What’s wrong?
Fifi
(Trying her best to remove the spot)
Will you please don’t move? I just need to remove this.
Elmyra
What is she doing?
Babs
Don’t know.
>She successfully removed the red spot on her mentor’s tail.
She looks at it for a few seconds.
Babs
So what is it Fifi?
Fifi
It looks like a transmitter from some Sci-Fi movies.
Someone put this transmitter unnoticed.
Calnasa
Uh oh, looks like the enemy knows the Z-Project.
G
Calnasa.
Buster
Looks like were in trouble, BIG trouble.
Lola
Bugs, what are we going to do?
Bugs
I don’t know.
>Just then, Calnasa’s radio starts to respond. She pulls
it out and answered it.
Calnasa
(Answered the call)
This is Commander Calnasa Duff. What is it?
CEO Soldier
(Static)
Co…mander we…got…some serious problems in…Los Angeles! The robot
that destroyed New Delhi is on a rampage at the city!
Calnasa
WHAT?!?
Elmyra
Sis?
Dr. Scratchansniff
What is it Calnasa?
Calnasa
Sir, we have a big problem. Did you make sure that the people
were evacuated?
CEO soldier
(Radio)
Yes ma’am! But if we don’t do something, the whole city
is going to be destroyed!
Calnasa
Don’t worry. We’ll think of something, Calnasa out.
(She then puts away the radio)
Everyone, we are now aware of the situation ahead of
us right now.
Buster
Yeah. The whole world is counting on us. It’s time
for us to save the world.
Babs
(Spin Changes into a commanding officer)
This is it soldier! Let’s move out!
Bugs
Hold it right there Babs. Dere is something you guys must see.
Everyone
Huh?
INT – Classroom – Afternoon
Buster
So what is this thing you wants us to see teach?
>Bugs went to the teacher’s desk and picked up a book.
He opened it and revealed a button hiding in the pages.
Bugs
This.
>Bugs pressed the button, and the whole place is
starting to rumble.
EXT – Acme Looniversity – Afternoon
The whole place starts to transform. The two buildings started
to move in different directions. The east tower moves to the
left while the right tower moves to the right. Then, the central
building started to move backward. After that, big guns and
missile launchers started to appear. All the residents of Acme
Acres noticed the sudden transformation from school to a military
base.
EXT – Classroom – Afternoon
Inside, the toonsters noticed that their school became a base.
But the transformation is not over. The whole classroom started
to change also. Each row of tables become computers equipped with
the advanced technology. The blackboard behind Bugs slides down
to reveal a gigantic screen used to view the world map. The windows
were gone also. The toonsters were amazed on the transformation
they saw.
Shirley
(Surprised)
Like mondo incredible!!!
Plucky
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!!!! FROM SCHOOL TO A SCI-FI BASE!!!!
Buster
Is this the thing you wanted to show us?
Bugs
Yep! This is, the Allied Organization of Earth Defense Base.
The whole Loo is created to hide the Z-Project and to become
a secret defense base at the same time.
Pepe
And et comes with ze good seats too.
Elmyra
Wow.
Hamton
Incredible, the technology used here is pretty advanced.
Calnasa
Yes. And also, we got some people who can monitor the base,
everyone, into your positions.
>The members of the CEO started to appear. They go to their
proper seats and waits for further orders. Mary, Max and
Foulmouth also appeared. They wear their headphone and
microphones and also wait for further orders.
Buster
MONTY?!?
Babs
MARY?!?
Plucky
FOULMOUTH?!?
Monty
Well, I really don’t want to get involved in this.
But I got no choice.
Foulmouth
Dadgumit! We will do this job even they forced us to do it!
Mary
So you need to do your job as well.
Fifi
(Confused)
What job?
Monty
(Looked Serious)
Don’t you hear? You four were the pilots of the Z-Project.
And remember this, don’t die so soon.
Plucky
Well, we won’t.
Calnasa
Buster, Plucky, Babs, Fifi. Are you ready?
Buster, Plucky, Babs, Fifi
Ready!
Bugs
Well, go to those chutes there. They will lead to
the Z-Project.
Buster
We will. Let’s go everyone! The whole world is
depending on us!
>The four started to go to the chutes in the far side of
the room. Each of them takes each route.
Angle on each character
A divider shows the characters. They were sliding down on
the tunnels that lead to the Z-Project. They each landed
on different cockpits of the Z-Project.
Buster
Wow. Is this the Z-Project? I wonder how it works.
>Buster notices that he system started to boot and the
power in now online. The radio started to respond.
Calnasa was on the line.
Calnasa
(Radio)
Buster! Buster Bunny! Are you there?
>He answered the call.
Buster
Yes. But is this the Z-Project?
Calnasa
(Radio)
Yes. You’re inside Zeiryu, the Metal Knight.
Buster
Cool! So the others were fine right?
Babs
(Radio)
Of course! I landed on some robot cockpit too. I bet this
is Leos, the Burning Lion.
Buster
Babs? Wow, what a party call.
Plucky
(Radio)
Not only that, it looks like the ones from Star Wars! I don’t
know if this is the X-Wing or……I got it! This must be
Zephir Eagle!
Fifi
(Radio)
Plucky! Buster, I’m also inside the cockpit also. I guess
I’m inside Leviatan, the Twin Headed Dragon.
Buster
Good! So what are we going to do next?
Calnasa
(Radio)
See those balls there? They are the controls. The Z-Project
uses mind link to use it.
Shirley
(Radio)
It’s just like controlling a thing using your mind and
body or some junk.
Buster
Okay. But how can we launch them into the battlefield.
Pepe
(Radio)
We’ll take care of zat. Better hold vous seats.
>Everyone followed the superior’s instructions. Buster,
Babs, Plucky and Fifi were ready to launch.
INT – City of Acme Acres – Afternoon
First to launch is Buster and Zeiryu. The city started
to rumble as the gigantic metal door started to open.
Then, a giant runway is then shown with Zeiryu in it.
Buster then receives the signal.
Buster
Zeiryu! LAUNCH!
>The boosters on the back of the mech started to activate
and the catapult is used to propel the unit to the sky. It
was a perfect launch.
INT – Valley of Acme Acres – Afternoon
Next are Babs and Leos. The lover’s leap is started to
split apart as special mechanisms slide the whole place,
revealing Leos. Then, a runway is shown to guide the unit.
Babs
Okay! GO! Leos!
Leos
ROOOOOOAR!!!!!!!!!!
>The lion robot starts to run to the runway. Because of this,
it achieves the perfect speed and velocity to fire its boosters
on its wings. The mech launched successfully.
INT - Underwater – Afternoon
Now its Fifi and Leviatan’s turn to launch, in the hangar below the
loo shows Leviatan. Some mini doors started to open, pumping in
water to the whole place. After that was done, the front gate started
to open. And Fifi is ready to launch.
Fifi
Commencing to launch! Leviatan! GO!
>The water mech started to move outside the hangar and into
the open sea.
Fifi
Dive mode off. Surface mode on!
>Then, she commences the rising of the mech to the surface.
The mech responded to the command as it surfaces. The dive mode
feature is disabled. And the mech moves like a gigantic speed boat.
INT – Acme Airport – Afternoon
Finally, it’s Plucky and his mech, Zephir Eagle. The whole flights
were cancelled because of this situation. Countless people were
gathered in the place to see the mech suddenly appearing. The
runway is now ready. And Plucky is also ready too.
Plucky
Let’s see what you’ve got! GO! Zephir Eagle!
>The contact is approved. The sky mech is launched like a jet
fighter. The spectators were amazed.
INT – Acme Looniversity – Afternoon
Officer
The launching of Zeiryu, Zephir Eagle, Leviatan and
Leos is a success.
Mary
They will arrive in Los Angeles in just 10 minutes.
Calnasa
Good.
(Thought to herself)
I hope you can make it on time.
Lola
The whole world is depending on you.
Bugs
Don’t let us down, Tiny Toons, especially you, my son.
INT – City of Los Angeles – Afternoon
The people in the city were in a panic when the robot destroys
everything in its path. The UN and the CEO were doing their best
to control the situation. On the other hand, a lady from The Adults
against Funny Cartoons in the TTA episode "It’s Buster Bunny Time"
is looking on the robot that caused the mayhem.
Lady from Adults against Funny Cartoons
Darn robot!!! This is why I hate funny cartoons!!! I should
stay at home where it’s quiet!!!
>The robot then destroyed a building named ACME Anvil Corp.
by using its missiles. The building destroyed and a couple of
anvils flew over. One of them hits the lady from the head.
Lady from Adults against Funny Cartoons
Darn anvil! I REALLY HATE…………
>She will continue her speech until another anvil landed on
the lady’s head, shutting her up (for good). The robot
continued its destruction of the city until the robots from
the Z-Project appeared just in time to combat the enemy.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Man! Sure is a big octopus.
Robot Monster
GRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
Sure is. I bet he didn’t learned how to put away
his toys.
Robot’s POW
>The robot makes its moves. It unleashed its tentacles
and hit Zeiryu right in the face.
Normal View
>The impact is severe, Zeiryu crashed into some buildings
until it finally wakes up.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
OUCH! OKAY! Now I’m mad! Now what were its
weapons anyway?
>A screen then pops up; it displays the common weapons
of the unit.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Let’s see; ZA-009 Beam Cutter, R9-00p Plasma Rifle and
GFD-112 Seeker Missiles. Hey guys, did you analyze the
weapon system of our unit? You know we are in a tight
spot y’know?
Babs
(Inside Leos)
Of course Buster, mine has 77mm. Beam Cannon, GCD-004 Wing
Cutters and ZOA-099x Lion Breath Cannon. It also has plasma
fangs for close combat.
Fifi
(Inside Leviatan)
I’ve analyzed mine. I got LF-001 Sea to Air Missiles, GL-008
Beam Cannons and “PROTONA” NXS-005 Depth Charger Cannons.
Pucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
GFD-112 Seeker Missiles, FCD-008 Beam Claws, Itellstung 119
Multi-Purpose Vulcan Guns and GFD-117 Air to Sea Missiles.
I bet we can use these.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Okay. Let’s teach this octopus on how he can end up in
the sushi table!!!
Everyone
BUSTER?!?!?!?
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu, smug tone)
What? Is there something wrong on my saying? Oh well.
>Everyone started to attack. Zeiryu pulled out its beam cutter
and rushed to the enemy. The enemy counterattacked with its
tentacles and did a swordfight.
High Angle – Wide View
>Zeiryu used it’s sword to crash one of the enemy’s tentacles.
The unit used the other tentacles to grasp Zeiryu.
Worm’s Eye View
The enemy used a powerful electric shock to weaken the unit.
Buster received the shock also. Plucky/Zephir Eagle unleashed
missiles to the enemy, setting Zeiryu free.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu, gasping)
Thanks Plucky.
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
Hey. No offence. This giant Squidball is really gotta go!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Yeah, any ideas?
Fifi
(Inside Leviatan)
Yes. According here, the weak spot of the enemy is in its head.
Guys, you need to slow him down first. After that, I’ll fire
the Depth Charger Cannons directly to the enemy.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Sounds like you’ve got a plan Fifi.
Babs
(Inside Leos, impersonating a soldier)
Let’s take this scrap metal down soldier!
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
Let’s get busy! HAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Zephir Eagle unleashed all its missiles and Vulcan Guns to weaken
the enemy. Babs/Leos used its wing cutters to slash more of the
octopus’s tentacles and Fifi/Leviatan aimed its Depth Charger
Cannons to the giant robot before firing.
Leviatan’s POW
> (Screen Goes Green) a yellow crosshair moves and aims to the
enemy. The meters equals to the range and success rate of the
attack until it releases its energy blast to the enemy sucker.
Normal View
The energy blast fired by Leviatan hit the enemy. The explosion
swept the whole city with smoke caused by the blast.
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle, proud tone)
Alright! Instant Takuyaki!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
We sure beat that monster. Right guys?
Babs
(Inside Leos)
Sure does.
>Babs’s radio started to respond. She answered
it immediately.
Babs
(Inside Leos)
Babs here.
Mary
(Radio)
Nice job. But I think the enemy is now down yet.
Elmyra
(Radio)
This is a big problem we were now facing! That mean
octopus has another life!
Babs
(Inside Leos)
WHAT?!?
Monty
(Radio)
She means this rabbit! You’ve just destroyed the first
half of the rampaging robot!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
So you mean……HE’S NOT DEAD?!?
Mary
(Radio)
But don’t worry, the commander send Furball, G and the
rescue squad there. They’ll arrive soon.
Babs
(Inside Leos)
Thanks. It looks like we have a big trouble in our hands.
Speaking of trouble, the octopus robot rises again. But this time,
it has no more tentacles. Some legs and arms appeared from the
giant head. Then, its real head appeared.
Fifi
(Inside Leviatan)
Looks like we have a bigger octopus to
chew, everyone, LOOK OUT!!!!!!!
>The enemy unleashed a couple of missile blast into our
heroes. They hit the four targets successfully, dragging
them into different spaces. Zeiryu crashed into the Warner
Brothers Studio. Leos crashed into the Golden Gate Bridge.
Zephir Eagle then crashed into a nearby airport while
Leviatan crashed onto a lighthouse. The enemy robot starts to
move to the place where Zeiryu crashed.
INT – Warner Bros. Studios – Afternoon
The people from the studios started to escape as fire caused
from the impact of Zeiryu crashing to the studio. The Warners
jumped down from the water tower and looked at the
awful situation.
Dot
(Worried tone)
Holy Macaroni! What’s going on?!?
Wakko
(Whips up into a professor impression)
Yeah. And that’s one of the robots who wanted
to eliminate that monster.
(Normal voice)
That octopus on TV does a lot of damage, including knocking
out that robot. And I wonder if that one is edible.
Dot
(Angry Tone)
WAKKO?!?
Wakko
Sorry.
Dot
What are we going to do now big brother?
Yakko
I don’t know. But we need to evacuate all the people
in the area now.
Meanwhile, inside Zeiryu, Buster is recovering from the
impact. The screen then shows someone outside Zeiryu. He
then zooms in to see the Warner Siblings outside.
Buster
Oh no! Yakko! Wakko! Dot! Get out of here!!!
Yakko
Huh? I thought I heard Buster’s voice. But where?
Wakko
Maybe……
>The Warners look at Zeiryu. Wakko’s points his finger to
Zeiryu, meaning Buster is inside the unit.
Yakko
Buster!!!!! Are you in there?
Dot
Yeah, what happened?
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
It’s a long story. But now, you guys must evacuate the place
immediately. It’s dangerous here!
Yakko
We will! But I must stay. I’ll go and find Mr. Spielberg.
I bet he’s inside his office. Wakko, Dot, make sure you
evacuate every personnel in the studio.
Wakko
We will.
Dot
You can count on us big brother!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Thanks! But you should hurry! He’s here!!!!
>Buster saw the robot from their battle earlier. He’s now
approaching the studio area. Zeiryu starts to stand up and
charges to the enemy. The battle starts again as Zeiryu
deploys its beam cutter. The enemy used its arms to
counterattack Buster/Zeiryu. One of the arms hit Zeiryu at
the head while Zeiryu damaged the armor of the enemy robot.
INT – Studio Grounds – Afternoon
>Meanwhile, Wakko and Dot did what they could to evacuate
the people to safety. Wakko leads some people, including
some toons away from the impact. Dot is searching for
remaining people trapped in the studio.
Dot
Wakko! Are there any more people and toons in the area?
Wakko
(Leading the people and toons to safety)
I don’t know. But we are missing someone.
Dot
And what’s that?
Wakko
Let’s see.
(He then analyzed the list.)
Uh oh. The missing persons were Charlie Alder, Tress MacNellie,
Kath Soucie and Joe Alaskey. I bet the four of them were
revisiting the studio on the anniversary of Tiny Toon
Adventures.
Dot
OH NO!!! I got to find them now!
Wakko
Don’t do it! Yakko said that we need to evacuate the
people in the studio.
Dot
I don’t care! If they die, we……
Wakko
I know! We should trust our big brother for this. I hope.
INT – Studio Building – Afternoon
The whole tremor is also affected inside the studio.
Yakko is going to Mr. Spielberg’s room until he reached
a dead end caused by the impact and fire.
Yakko
Darn. Guess I need to take the other road.
>He then proceeds to the other route. He ended up in a burning room.
In the far edge of the room, saw Charlie Alder, Tress MacNellie,
Kath Soucie, Joe Alaskey and Mr. Spielberg. Yakko approached them.
Yakko
What happened here? And why is Mr. Spielberg is
in the ground?
Charlie Alder
Yakko, Mr. Spielberg inhaled a lot of smoke.
Yakko
Could you explain to me carefully?
Joe Alaskey
Yes. We were just enjoying the party when a strange
earthquake happened.
Kath Soucie
Some parts of the studio started to catch fire caused by
some unknown impact. Then, the room catches fire and Mr.
Spielberg inhaled a lot of smoke.
Yakko
So that why he fainted, quickly! I got a portable
oxygen tank in my pants.
>He pulls out a small tank of oxygen out of his pocket.
He then pulled out an oxygen mask. He put the hose that
connects to the oxygen tank to the mask together. Kath
then puts the mask into Mr. Spielberg’s face.
Yakko
I guess he’ll recover in a couple of minutes.
Joe Alaskey
But how can we get out of here?
Yakko
Simple. Toon Style.
(Pulls out an ACME Portable Hole)
I hope this works.
>Yakko puts the portable hole into the wall, creating a safe
opening. The group came out of the building alive, just to
see another problem.
INT – Studio Grounds – Afternoon
>Everyone saw the battle of Zeiryu and the strange robot.
Charlie Alder
I can’t believe it. Who is that robot?
Yakko
It’s a long story.
>Just then, a giant aerial carrier from the CEO hovers above
the group. The hatch opens, and Wakko, Dot and Calnasa appeared.
Calnasa
(Using a Megaphone)
Everyone! Remain calm! We’ll get you out of there
in no time.
Tress MacNellie
Charlie, friend of yours?
Charlie Alder
I don’t know. But we need to get out of here,
fast!
Yakko
He’s right. Wakko, Dot! The ladder!
Wakko
Okay!
>A ladder descends from the carrier. Everyone climbed into
the ladder safely. The medical team is now analyzing Mr.
Spielberg’s condition.
CEO Nurse
Commander, he’s safe.
Kath Soucie
Thank goodness.
Wakko and Dot
(Rushed to their brother)
Yakko! Were glad you are safe!
Yakko
Yeah. Will Buster defeat that robot?
Calnasa
I don’t know. But we should try.
(Reaches in to her earphone-communicator)
Furaba! G! You must help Buster now!
Furball
(Radio)
Roger!
G
(Radio)
Roger.
>A couple of special jet appeared. The jets were labeled
"Cosmograsper". G and Furball were ready to attack. Buster/Zeiryu
is now on a perfect condition as it evades one of the enemy
attacks. Both Furball and G unleashed a missile barrage to the
enemy. But it failed, as the smoke settles, the enemy is still
in one piece.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
No way! He’s still in one piece!
G
Looks like were in trouble now.
The enemy unleashed a powerful flamethrower into them. The three
dodged the attack safely. But the fire hit the water tower,
destroying it.
Furball
Shhesh! What a fire mouth!
Dot
Our home!
Furball
No way! That fire blast destroyed the water tower in one shot!
Especially the home of the Warner Siblings!
G
Darn.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu, very upset tone to self)
Great. Now what? Can I really save the studio from
this monster? But how?
(Pause)
The others were not here.
(Pause)
But even that, our combined powers can’t even lay a
scratch on this one!!!!
(Pause)
WHAT AM I GONNA DO NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
>Looks like there’s no hope left when suddenly, a blast
came from behind the enemy, knocking it on the ground.
Everyone looked around and saw Leos, Leviatan and Zephir
Eagle all in one piece.
Babs
(Inside Leos)
Buster!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Babs! Everyone!
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
Hey! You should thank us for saving your butt out there.
Fifi
(Inside Leviatan)
Buster, you’re not alone. The rescue squad came to us and
rescues all the refugees. Now we need to destroy this monster.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Thanks. But we need to figure out how?
>Suddenly, Buster heard a strange voice.
Voice
Buster……Buster……
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Hey. Who are you?
Voice
It’s not important right now. You four must unite your hearts
so the metal angel will be born. You must say, Formation On.
And the metal angel Zeiryu-Oh is formed.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Formation On, I got it!
Babs
(Inside Leos)
What’s the matter?
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Guys! Remember what Lola said. When the four hearts unite, a
metal angel will descend from the sky. That means we are the
four hearts, and need to combine our units to become stronger.
And I know how!
Plucky
(Inside Zephir Eagle)
How?
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu, proud tone)
Just follow the rabbit!
Zeiryu starts to fly up to the sky. The others followed his lead.
Buster, Babs, Plucky and Fifi were now ready.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Are you guys ready?
Everyone
READY!!!
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu)
Okay! Zeiryu-Oh!!!! Formation!!!
Buster, Babs, Plucky, Fifi
ON!!!!!
>A transformation now takes place. Zeiryu’s side armor was removed,
it’s arms folded on the back and the legs were moved to the back also,
creating the body. Leos’s wings started to come off and fly away while
the head come off also. The back starts to fold, creating a chamber for
the combination process. The wings were attached to the shoulder of Leos.
Leviatan’s body became legs as the upper wing and the tail starts to
come off and flew away. Then, the unit splits, creating the feet and
legs. Zephir Eagle’s back boosters and its tali come off and the bird is
ready of combination. The combination now occurs. Zeiryu attaches to Leos
by magnetic force and special locks located on both units. The legs attach
to the lower area of the combining robot, and Zeiryu’s side armor attaches
to the torso area of the unit while the tail of Zephir Eagle attaches to
the front torso area. The booster then attaches to the shoulders, creating
the arms and the hands popped out. Finally, Zephir Eagle attaches to the
back and it deploy its wings for flight. Inside the unit, Buster, Babs,
Plucky and Fifi were now in one cockpit; Buster is in the center, Plucky
is in the front, Fifi is on the left side and Babs on the right. Outside,
the Chest armor reveals the gem and the helmet are now attached. The
combination is finished.
Buster, Babs, Plucky, Fifi
Metal Angel Zeiryu-Oh! Complete!!!!!!
>The unit did some moves and its wings were displayed as well. Lightning
comes from nowhere and a unit is powered up in battle. Everyone was
amazed on the transformation, including the toonsters.
INT – Inside Zeiryu-Oh – Afternoon
Inside, Buster and the gang were amazed on their robot’s combination.
Buster
Incredible! Our units combined together.
Plucky
I don’t know about this but were now on the home team advantage.
Babs
Sure, like that giant robot can defeat us.
Fifi
I guess it’s time to fight back.
Buster
Right Fifi, let’s do this everyone!
Everyone
YEAH!!!!
INT – Studio Grounds – Afternoon
>The enemy robot starts to stand up. Zeiryu-Oh is now ready to fight.
The enemy starts to breathe fire to Zeiryu-Oh. But it was no avail.
The unit charged to the enemy and delivered a powerful punch to the
enemy robot, knocking him from inches away. The people from the aerial
carrier can see it clearly.
Wakko
Wow!!! Just one punch and the enemy are down.
Yakko
Incredible, are those units combined together?
Calnasa
Looks like it. Dr. Scratchansniff’s dream of a robot for world
defense finally came true, the Metal Angel, Zeiryu-Oh.
Yakko
(Suppressed)
You mean Scratchansniff developed that cool robot BEFORE WE
WERE BORN?!?
Wakko
(Signed)
Looks like that robot is not edible.
Dot
Wakko, who says it WAS edible?
Charlie Adler
It’s just like from those robots in some Japanese Anime.
Kath Soucie
But this one is really real!
(Doing a perfect Fifi Impression)
Zis will gonna be ze good battle! Aller, mon gigantic
robot du justice!
Joe Alaskey
Oh boy, one of Kath’s impressions again.
>Tress and Charlie then noticed that Mr. Spielberg is
waking up from his coma.
Steven Spielberg
(Waking up)
Uhhhhh…… What happened?
Tress MacNeille
Mr. Spielberg. Thank goodness you’re awake.
Charlie Adler
We thought you won’t ever wake up.
Steven Spielberg
Last thing I remembered, we were inside the studio until a
strange earthquake happened and some sort of fire occurred
after the earthquake. And now, I’m seeing a giant robot
battle.
(Looks at Yakko)
Yakko, are you sure that I’m dreaming?
Yakko
No Stevie. This is totally real.
Calnasa
He’s right Mr. Spielberg. My name is Calnasa Duff, commanding officer
of the Allied Organization of Earth Defense. What you guys see now
is not a movie, it’s real. The winged robot is now trying to defend
the studio from the enemy robot.
Wakko
Better believe her Stevie, it’s no dream.
Dot
And best of all, the Tiny Toons were in that robot.
Charlie Adler
Buster and the others were now fighting to defend the studio
where they were born.
Joe Alaskey
And sorry about the Anniversary Party gone haywire because of
some alien robot attack.
Steven Spielberg
That’s okay. I guess I need to talk to Bugs about this.
>Meanwhile, G and Furball were supporting Zeiryu-Oh but it
was no avail.
Furball
Looks like it’s up to them.
G
I know. Good luck, everyone.
>The enemy starts to attack once again. But its attacks were always
a miss because of Zeiryu-Oh’s speed.
Plucky
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
Looks like the enemy can’t hit us.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
We know. Let’s see if he can handle this.
>The left foot of Zeiryu-Oh starts to glow in a
yellowish color.
Plucky
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
Take this! Blade Kick!
>Zeiryu-Oh unleashed a kick that slashes the front body of the enemy
mech. The enemy is now weakened by the impact it received.
Babs
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
Buster! It looks like the enemy is weakening.
Fifi
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
We can now finish him up.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
Okay! If you say so!
>A Lion head Shield appeared out of nowhere, Zeiryu-Oh
grabs it.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
NOW! Zeiryu Saber!
>The mouth of the Lion Shield starts to opens and a ball of
light glows brightly into it. After the light is gone, a handle
is shown. Zeiryu-Oh grabs the handle from the Lion Shield and
starts pulling it slowly. A blade is slowly shown. After that,
a whole blade is shown, revealing a sword. The Lion Shield
disappeared and the sword is hold by two hands.
Furball
The Zeiryu Saber! Zeiryu-Oh’s finishing weapon.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
Let’s see it can handle this! Everyone!
>Buster, Babs, Plucky and Fifi were now channeling their energy in
to the sword. The wings of Zeiryu-Oh are deployed and shown. The
boosters are activated and the mech is in killing pose. The enemy
can’t move as Zeiryu-Oh charges to the enemy while its sword is
glowing into a white light.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
This is…
Babs
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
……for the faith……
Plucky
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
…of the…
Fifi
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
…whole universe!!!!!
>The unit is now ready to use the sword.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
COSMO!!!!!!!! BREAKER!!!!!!
Everyone
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
SLAAAAASH!!!!!!!!
>Zeiryu-Oh fully used its sword to slash the enemy mech into two.
The unit stops charging and goes for a full stop. Its eyes shined,
and the enemy mech is finally exploded, destroying it. The enemy unit
that is rampaging Los Angeles is now a pile of scrap metal.
Buster
(Inside Zeiryu-Oh)
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!
>Everyone cheered for the success of Buster, Babs, Fifi, Plucky and
their robot Zeiryu-Oh. Even the people outside cheered.
Charlie Adler
They did it!!!!! That giant monster is no more!!!
Tress MacNeille
(She hugs Charlie)
Oh Charlie! Buster and Gang did it!!!!
Charlie Adler
Yeah. I know!
Steven Spielberg
I really don’t know what’s going on, but I guess the whole studio
is safe and sound.
Yakko
Looks like the home team had won.
Dot
Really? I guess Babs do deserve a good reward.
Calnasa
Nice job, Tiny Toons.
>Suddenly, another carrier from the CEO started to appear. Inside the
carrier is Dr. Scratchansniff, Bugs, Lola, Pepe and the
rest of the Tiny Toons.
Dr. Scratchansniff
Nice job Calnasa! You really deserve a medal for this.
Elmyra
Sister!!! You did it!
Mary
Thank goodness you’re alive!!!!
Monty
I know those rabbits can’t die easily especially
a fight for world peace.
Foulmouth
I agree.
Shirley
Like sure. It’s like the hero wins in the end
or some junk.
Hamton
I hope Buster is okay.
Shirley
Sure Hamton.
Calnasa
Thanks everyone. Looks like we can begin our fight
against the Rhapsody Empire.
>Unknowingly, the group was surveyed by two mice in strange
costumes while standing on top of a building. One has short
and had a big head is The Brain while the other who is tall
is Pinky.
Pinky
I don’t know Octocross was destroyed by a robot named
Zeiryu-Oh. NARF!
The Brain
Shut up. Those toons will taste our real power someday.
>Brain’s communicator starts to respond.
The Brain
What?
Voice
(Radio)
I saw everything. I didn’t know you mice failed me for
the first time.
The Brain
I’m so sorry Emperor Rune. We didn’t know that the CEO
has a hidden weapon.
Emperor Rune
(Radio)
Really. You two must come back at once. But next time,
The Rhapsody Empire will not fail!!!
The Brain
Yes sir. Let’s go Pinky.
>The two disappeared into thin air. Later, everyone gathered
at the studio to see it was damaged from the fight. The people
from the UN and the CEO were doing some repairs for the studio
and to the whole city surrounding it.
Dr. Scratchansniff
Sorry about the studio Steven. I know the Big Guys from WB
will forgive us anyhow.
Steven Spielberg
No problem. The studio will be good as new for about a couple
of days. And I didn’t know the Toonsters can save the world.
You really did a good job Bugs.
Bugs
(Blushing)
Oh c’mon Mr. Spielberg. You’re embarrassing me.
Lola
Just face it Bugs. You’re a bit flattered.
Pepe
Vous should be happy in the end. Our protégées were growing
up so fast.
Bugs
I know. Well boy, you and your friends did a good job on saving
Los Angeles and the WB Studios. I’m proud of ya!
Buster
Thanks teach.
Calnasa
And also, starting today, I will become the commanding officer
of the Allied Organization of Earth Defense.
>Everyone is shocked on what they heard.
Everyone
WHAT?!?
Calnasa
Not only that, Luthenant Furaba will be a default student of Acme
Looniversity approved by the principal.
Furball
Looks like I can attend classes with you guys. And besides, I don’t
want that duck cheat on my paper during exams or Elmyra
hugging me to death.
Elmyra
Oh c’mon! You like it don’t you?
Furball
(Cool tone)
Sure.
G
Looks like you got your paws full Furaba
Furball
I know G.
Shirley
I guess you got a lot of luck G or some junk.
G
Sure loon girl.
Babs
So you must be Tress MacNeille, my voice!!!
Tress MacNeille
And you must be Babs. If you guys didn’t come, we were
dead by now.
Fifi
That’s okay, and we were so sorry about your
anniversary party.
Kath Souci
(Fifi’s Voice)
Zat’s okay. Moi is really like, enjoyed when you
defeated zat monster.
(Normal Voice)
And you know? Your English is really improved a lot.
Fifi
Thanks Kath. I actually practiced using English language when
the show is cancelled 10 years ago.
Joe Alaskey
Sure. I bet her fumes were gone at that time. She can’t
spray everyone you know.
Plucky
I agree. And that cat should go with the thrash
where he belongs.
Fifi
(Angry Tone, her tail is held Rambo-Style)
Really Huh!!!
Furball
(Angry tone, Claws deployed)
How about I slice you into French Fries, duck!!!!
Joe Alaskey
(Starts to run, followed by Plucky, who is chased by
Furball with is claws deployed)
I’m JUST JOKING!!!!
Plucky
You can say that again!!!
>The two run away while Fifi and Furball are
behind them, angry.
Charlie Adler
Look at them go. So what are you going to do now Yakko?
Your home is now demolished.
Yakko
I know. We decided to live in Acme Acres for a
change. Do you agree Buster?
Buster
Sure.
Wakko
Looks like we can attend the Loo Dot.
Dot
Maybe so Wakko.
>Both Bugs and Lola saw everyone happy in
their point of view
Bugs
I guess it looks like the home team
is now formed.
Lola
Sure. Well Bugs, are you sure Buster and the
others will handle it?
Bugs
You mean them? They can handle it; after all,
Buster is my only son.
Lola
It sure is.
Camera Zooms at Zeiryu-Oh
>Buster, Babs, Fifi, Plucky and the rest of the gang were now
appointed to save the whole world from the evil alien invasion
using their powerful robot, Zeiryu-Oh and the Allied Organization
of Earth Defense. But there are some questions; who is the
mysterious voice who contacted Buster? Why Pinky and The Brain is
working from the mysterious Emperor Rune?
Camera pans back to wide shot at Los Angeles
>And what kind of trouble will hit our heroes next.
Fade out

Hiya, Toonsters, and welcome to the March 22nd, 2006 Mailer for the Tiny Toon Adventures Fan Fiction Mailing List!
Sorry to be a few days late, but real life has taken up a lot of my time Yard work, job search, and so on has kept me busy so that I've not been able to do this, but fear no more, the Mailer is now here!
And we've got a pretty good one, I think.
Well start off with "Metal Angel Zeiryu-Oh Program 2: Ignite! The Double Date!" by Duo Maxwell (blackgaia02 [at] yahoo [dot] com). This one is a follow up to his previous story, and has some very interesting twists as it unfolds. After that is Framed Up II by Eric D. Hound (erico [at] carolina [dot] rr [dot] com) This is a comic book style story, following up the previous Framed Up, and answers a lot of the questions raised in the previous installment. Finally, there is the first part of Part 19 of Pepe K's (looneyk [at] earthlink [dot] net) ATTEPUH Epic, "A Time of War." The saga continues as Dr. Lord makes peace with the Warner sibs, and the good Doctor reveals that he has a very interesting airplane. Oh, and the plot thinkens for the Hamton/Fifi story...
In the realm of fanfic based pics, we have some stuff based on ATTEPUH 19. Three pics by by Pepe K dealing with Dr. Lord's plane, BlackbirdRoll-Out.jpg, Takeoff.jpg and BlackbirdFly_2.jpg. I think you'll find them interesting. Also by Pepe K is LordMS.jpg, a modelsheet of the character in a few key poses. And then, Eric D. Hound provides us with his interpretation of Dr. Lord in Picture106.jpg.
And of course, there are some very nice Doodles on the Doodle page by Eric and Thorne, so be sure to check them out.
And that's gonna have to be it, cuz I don't have anything else. So, until next time...
Stay Tooned.

Chapter CVIII
Twilight.
Acme Acres was bathed in blue and violet as the last rays of the sun reached
over the horizon. Gentle puffs of wind blew the green grass in waves across the
lawn behind Doctor Lord's mansion. Two tiny brown sparrows hopped and
pecked about on the ground at the foot of the great black obsidian dragon -
the evil-looking statue seeming to glare balefully down at them. Their heads
popped up as they nervously ceased their movements – then they were flying
away as fast as their wings could carry them… as the sky suddenly darkened
– then turned pitch black.
The wind blew icy cold as the white time tunnel exploded out of the darkness,
bathing the surroundings with a momentary blindness. Fourteen figures
were deposited onto the grass that was blustered about by the maelstrom.
During the trip back, Fifi and Doctor Lord had wisely relinquished their
embrace and now stood apart from each other, but the damage had been done.
Hamton hung his head sadly and stood still as a stone. He sniffed his tears back
hard and ate his pain. It was a bitter pill to swallow. He remained silent
with his eyes shut tight, fighting not to sob out loud. He was sure he'd heard Fifi
tell Lord that she loved him and that they might have kissed each other. Everyone
else had reappeared in front of him and stood listening to Lord, so no one saw
his anguished look of defeat.
Some of the Toonsters flopped down into the cool grass to relax as the time
tunnel whirled away into the heavens like a white tornado. With a sudden look of
tearful relief, Fowlmouth ran to Mary Melody's side and the two embraced each
other. In a rare silent moment of shyness, Babs Bunny cautiously reached for
Buster's hand, unsure if he'd accept it. Buster raised a sly eyebrow, but he took
her hand and wrapped her in his arms.
"Phew! I never thought I'd be so glad be on dry land again! I never wanna
go through another storm at sea in my life ever again!" said Plucky as he kissed
the ground.
Doctor Lord's silver and black fur reflected the indigo-colored twilight as he
stood stock-still in thought. His mind seemed distant as he spoke.
"I'm sorry Plucky, but I'm afraid you'll have to…" he said slowly, his soft
unidentifiable accent making him sound almost Germanic.
"Ach! You mean ve'll haf to go through all dat again?!" Arnold exclaimed.
Everyone but Hamton looked up at Lord with worry. He nodded reluctantly
and continued, his serious baritone voice seeming even deeper than usual with
stress.
"On the night the ship is supposed to go down, there will be a storm that's
even worse. But I promise that it won't last for days like this last time."
As the Toonsters looked at each other, the tall skunk turned away to face
the fading rays of the sun and looked at the horizon, his hands clasped behind him.
The others watched uncertainly as the tall skunk became a black silhouette
against the sky, with only the jagged triple silver stripes of his tail showing against
the deepening blue of the night. The silence was deafening.
Was he about to reveal something, wondered Fifi?
"…You all did well today", said Lord, " You saved the ship by fighting the
elements…Tomorrow we shall fight men…perhaps even each other. I don't need to
tell you that it will be even more difficult. Rest assured that I will *make certain* -
that everyone comes back alive. Tomorrow morning we'll have another debriefing
and… a long day, so get as much rest as you can and leave the worrying to me.
Now I'm sure you're all very hungry, so I've made reservations at Taz's Diner just
around the corner for you all. Have anything you like – it's on me. Good night."
With that, the Doctor slowly walked off, seemingly disconnected from the
presence of his students.
As the Toonsters' confusion grew, Shirley's eyes shifted and she abruptly
announced:" Yay! Like free food! I'm starved! Let's go!"
Some of the group shrugged and began to follow her toward the streets, but
Buster and Babs lagged behind, uncertain what to make of Lord's dismissal.
"Comes back alive?" muttered the blue bunny with trepidation.
Shirley thought quickly and seized an opportunity. "Hey lookit! Isn't that
Julie Bruin over there?"
The distraction paid off as Babs tugged her fiancée away to meet the
bouncy bear that happened to be pulling up outside their appointed eatery just
across the street at the corner.
Arnold watched the others bound away happily to eat with Julie and sighed
to himself, resigned to the fact that he wasn't fully "in" with the Toonsters…
until he felt a tug at his elbow.
Furball stood there looking up at him with a smile on his face and a sign in
his paw: "You coming?" The blue cat simply flipped the sign around to show the
side that said: "Pal?"
Furball's inviting grin was met by a friendly paw on his shoulder as Arnold
smiled under his sunglasses and the two walked off the field together to
follow the others as they scattered.
(Trinity & Beyond) #14 "Boosting with Tritium"
The three remaining figures stood like statues. Fifi was watching Lord, who
was listening with his back turned till the others were gone. Hamton remained
silently shadowing them, his mind boiling between blind rage and suicidal defeat.
The silence was terrible as the skunks waited, unaware of him.
At length, the ancient being's head sagged as he put his hand to his
forehead and closed his eyes in pain and exhaustion and began to lean to one
side. Fifi reached up to help him as he began to lurch toward his front door.
As they slowly walked away without looking back, Hamton fought his bitter
impulses to go after them. His hands balled up into white-knuckled, trembling fists
of fury, his lips curled in rage. His chest was tight as he took a step toward them –
then a look of desperate confusion overtook his tear-filled eyes - and the utter futility
of it all stopped him. As Lord placed a hand on Fifi's shoulder to steady himself,
Hamton turned and walked away. As they went toward the mansion, the jealous
pig went in the opposite direction, widening the distance between himself and
them. He stomped through the junkyard and was suddenly faced with Fifi's pink
Cadillac. Through the windows he saw the red back seat and drew back an
enraged fist to smash their love nest! His mind was suddenly flooded with images
and feelings of all the joys they had known there – and again he stopped himself.
In defeat, Hamton gently collapsed against it - his fist weakly hitting the window in
a half-hearted gesture. Sobbing silently through gritted teeth, he ran away toward
home.
"Thank you for saving me again, Petite" said Lord quietly as Fifi took him home.
"Zank you pour saveeng us *both* again, Grande`" she replied.
Her grandfather smiled at the joke and nodded, "We'll always take care
of each other – that's what families do."
As the little skunk and the big one turned at the door, they noticed one
Toonster still remaining –Wakko Warner stood over by the front gate. Waiting
quietly outside it were his brother and sister, strangely quiescent and looking
somber.
"Doc? Can we talk tuh you?" asked Wakko longingly.
Lord and the Warners looked uneasily at each other a moment before
Dot spoke up.
"…We want to apologize," she said softly, her black eyes shining.
The tall skunk stood still looking at the trio. He cocked his head slightly to one
side, sighed and rubbed his eye.
"No foolin'?" he asked doubtfully.
"No foolin'", said Yakko thoughtfully, "We …uuuuuh… I'm sorry."
Lord looked at them with the trace of a smile and asked again,
"No crossies count?"
The Warners all showed him their open hands and looked up at him.
Fifi could hardly believe it, but the notoriously wild threesome were as meek
as lambs.
"C'mon in" the Doctor said kindly and Fifi and the Warners followed him
into the mansion though the gates.
The front doors of the house were suddenly thrown open as an alarmed
Andy Fox burst out, startling all but Lord.
"What happened? You almost missed getting back!" demanded the fox,
"What went wrong?"
(Edward Scissorhands #2 "Storytime")
Feeling somewhat guilty, Fifi almost spoke up, but the Doctor squeezed her paw.
"I did", Lord admitted, looking into the fox's green eyes, "I went wrong."
The others stood in astonishment as he continued, "I've made a number of
mistakes… and it's time I did something about them. Please follow me."
Quietly, they entered and followed their subdued host down the long dark
hallway, the flickering flames from the gas lamps reflecting on the ancient black oak
paneling. Without looking, Lord reached out a long arm, his black clawed hand
gesturing. His silken cape flew into his hand and he pulled it around his shoulders
as he continued. The others paused a moment, but he walked onward.
As their footsteps echoed on the polished hardwood floors, Fifi noticed the
ancient oil paintings and began to see glimpses of Lord's past. There was
Alexander the Great's victory over the Persian Army, Julius Caesar's triumphal
march into Rome, returning from the defeat of Gaul. There were masterful paintings
of Viking long ships and the Knights Templars, but the picture that struck her most
was that of a ancient primitive village with a family of five eating supper inside a
thatched hut. She noticed the parents and children were talking and laughing as
they ate – but the oldest son just sat, smiling in silence at the others. His was the
face of Kirrik.
The toons followed Lord to a blank space between the portraits. The Warners
stood solemnly as he raised his hands and folded them before the entrance.
This time everyone bowed their heads, as they knew they were entering the tomb
of a lost loved one. Lord's reflective eyes closed and the heavy stone door slid
aside, revealing the chapel that had once been a Victorian parlor. The gas
lamps within slowly flared to life, their soft hiss becoming the only sound in the
dark green chamber.
Before a beautifully carved wooden cross that hung on the wall, stood the
exquisite statue of Red Hot. Lord kissed the figure's hand and spoke to it.
"We've been busy today, my sweet. Here are some friends who've come
to see you."
The Warner trio looked quietly at the painted face of the statue. Uneasily,
they approached the white marble pedestal with lowered eyes. Dot and Yakko
knelt down, but Wakko stood with misty eyes, looking up at Red. He leaned in
and put his arms around her waist and hugged the monument. As a sniffle
escaped him, Lord put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Wakko turned and
hugged him, his eyes shut tight.
They all regarded him with a look of need. Lord understood and walked to one
of the many framed pictures on the wall. He swung it aside, revealing an old wall
safe. From inside it, he withdrew a dusty yellowed envelope, sealed with antique
wax. His black claws slit it open and produced a tiny jeweled key. He held the
minute sliver of metal between two fingers and looked at them again questioningly,
but their faces remained unchanged. The old being sighed and placed the key into
a tiny keyhole on one side of the statue's back. The others moved in curiously
as the statute's seal was broken and a nearly seamless door in the figurine's
back was slightly opened. Then Lord withdrew and walked to a gilded green
chaise lounge on the other side. There he sat, facing away, his cape draping
to the floor.
"Go ahead", he said, "…look."
Fifi and the Warners looked at each other nervously, so the Fox reached out –
and slowly drew the door open. Dot almost hid her eyes.
Within the statue was a layer of clear crystal and filling the inside was a
translucent liquid that looked like vegetable oil. Yakko fearfully stepped away
backward and his awkward thump of a footstep made the statue shift, causing a
slight trace of red paint to waft briefly in the oil before settling back into the depths
of Red Hot's entombing statute.
The toons looked in silence. Dot lowered her eyes and sat sadly down where
she was. Yakko's face was ashen. His mouth agape, he stared, not wanting to
believe his eyes. Wakko hesitantly reached out a hand – and touched the
crystalline surface, then he turned and walked away to the wall.
"The ink and paint have separated", thought the Fox to himself,"
The pigments have settled."
"So zat's what happenz to real toons if zey die" thought Fifi, remembering
that her parents had not melted away when they had perished.
Yakko slowly reached out a gloved hand and gently closed the little door.
The lock clicked and he sat down with Dot in silent shock.
After swallowing uncomfortably in thought, Yakko shook his head and said,
"…I… can't think of anything to say… I'm sorry."
"Don't blame yourself," the Doctor told him, still facing away, "You weren't the
first to ask… I knew that when we returned there'd have to be explanations. I'd
only told Daffy that morning… the only others who knew… are dead now."
Dot looked towards Lord, her usual cute pout turned to genuine sorrow.
"We shouldn't have pushed you… Everybody knows you don't talk about…
things."
"You couldn't have known. I took great steps to make sure that no one would
find out… She wanted it that way", said Lord, turning to face them, "She wanted
to be remembered as she was – not as an icon of tragedy. If anyone should
apologize, it should be me… I should have ... foreseen…"
"I remember this," Wakko said from the other side of the room, "This was
hers, wasn't it?" indicating the grand piano he now stood next to, "Red gave me
piano lessons on it."
As reverently as an acolyte lighting candles on a church's alter, Wakko
opened the piano's keyboard cover and sat on the polished hardwood piano bench
before the black and white ivory keys. He opened the old songbook on the piano's
cherry music rack and tested the pedals, the old felt dampers making a soft
'foomp' on the strings.
"I still dunno what to say…" his brother sighed.
"There's only one way to talk directly to the soul " Wakko replied, looking to the
Doctor for permission.
Lord looked up briefly and nodded, then his eyes turned away, unfocused.
Wakko closed his eyes in a silent moment of somber reflection as he always did
before playing, then his gloves touched the keys. Softly, he began to play a
beautiful old familiar melody. Everyone recognized it as they listened to Wakko
make the piano sing, the house ringing with delicate elegant solace.
Fifi went to stand behind Wakko as Lord arose and walked towards the door.
"That was the last song Stephen Foster ever wrote, before he died in penury",
the Doctor whispered in an odd way, "I'll be back in a second."
Lord quietly slipped out of the door and the fox followed as Fifi looked closely
at the lyrics to the song. Dropping her accent, she began to sing soulfully as
Wakko played.
"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me.
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight, have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!"
As the haunting song filled the air, Yakko could only look at the statute's
frozen painted smile as great tears welled up in his shining eyes. Dot put a
sympathetic arm around her brother's shoulder as they stood together, listening.
"Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea.
Mermaids are chanting the wild loreliee;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn,
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn' on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me…"
Doctor Lord walked swiftly down the hall with a purpose, his great strides
making the shorter Fox scamper after him.
"What's wrong? What are you doing?!" Andy called after him urgently.
"Stay here!" Lord told him firmly as he marched out the front door without
looking back.
The red fox was stopped by this in a moment of indecision, but then he
continued to follow.
"I will not stay here!" he shouted defiantly as he pursued Lord out the door,
"I want to know - … where you've… gone…?"
His voice died in his throat – for there was no trace of the giant skunk anywhere.
The street lamps shone on an empty road in total silence. It was as if he had
disappeared. Puzzled, the fox walked cautiously out onto the stone walkway, looking.
All he heard was the sound of crickets chirping their nightly song. With a sigh of
resignation, he turned back towards the mansion.
Seventy feet directly above him, Doctor Lord hovered in silence in mid-air, his
tremendous cape flaring behind him in the wind.
"He's intelligent – but not experienced", thought Lord looking down," Patterns
indicate… two-dimensional thinking."
Turning, the dark figure glided stealthily off into the night sky.
(Trinity & Beyond, #15, "The George Device")
Below on the ground, the vulpine scientist sighed and was about to return inside when
he heard a rumble of thunder. A cold wind ruffled his fur and a very peculiar feeling
shivered through him. Strange sustained music reached his mind and the Fox spun
around in realization and shock – the next moment he was running at top speed across the
lawn around the mansion! The heavy smell of the grassy field pumped through his lungs
as he ran into the darkness – but he was too late!
Barely discernable in the night sky was the figure of Lord, hanging in mid-air at a
hundred feet above the field. His cape blew and billowed as the thunderstorm and the
ominous music grew around him. His arms were outstretched and his silver-striped
tail hung straight down below his cape. Lightning struck the ground near the black
dragon statute with a terrible crash and the shock jolted the Fox to his knees!
Lord seemed to be attracting the electrical charges to himself.
"Lord! Stop it!" Andy yelled frantically up at him through the gathering wind.
As the music mounted from magical to menacing, Lord slowly rotated to face the Fox.
White-hot balls of sizzling energy surrounded his outstretched claws and the tip of
his frizzed-out tail, glowing like miniature suns. Another blue sphere of power
hovered inches above his head. Lord's large eyes burned a brilliant white, glowing
brighter and brighter as the energy's intensity grew. His body was trembling as
the electrical charge built up towards release.
"I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that," he said trying to make light of the
situation.
Below on the ground, the fox was wide-eyed with the shock of realization!
"Do you know what you're doing? Have you lost your mind??!"
Lord looked him straight in the eye and warned " Andy – Please!
Don't stop me! Don't let him stop me! …Rules are made to be broken!"
The music built up to a magnificently terrifying climax as bolts of lightning
ripped the sky around Lord's floating body! Andy shouted again up to him,
but the cracks of thunder overpowered his volume. The fireballs of blistering
energy that Lord held arced their own lightning between each other, surrounding
him with a blinding halo and began arching to ground themselves, hitting the
dragon statute and the earth where the Fox stood!
Using the only line of communication left, the fox thought desperately:
["No! Stop! THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE DISASTROUS!!"]
In the midst of the power storm, Lord raised his arms and tail out straight,
the energy spheres now creating a triangular pyramid of blue lightning around him!
The thunderhead clouds above him began to part, forming a towering ring
thousands of feet high! A hurricane of wind blew Andy to the ground!
["The only Limits that truly exist – are those we put upon ourselves!"]
Lord thought back.
The maelstrom of wind, lightning and terrifying music climaxed as the sky
opened and blinding white light came down, filling everything. Andy could see
only Lord high overhead as everything else was lost in a total whiteout. The
Doctor raised his fists and tail, smashing the four power globes into each
other, forming a powerful energy beam that fired up into the blinding whiteness!
Lord's music came to a crescendo of wordless voices as a great black hole
appeared above him. The funnel of darkness opened!
Wakko closed his eyes in a silent moment of somber reflection as he always
did before playing, then his gloves touched the keys. Softly, he began to play a
beautiful old familiar melody. Everyone recognized it as they listened to him
make the piano sing, the house ringing with delicate elegant solace.
Fifi went to stand behind Wakko as Lord arose and walked towards the door.
"That was the last song Stephen Foster ever wrote, before he died in penury",
the Doctor whispered in an odd way, "I'll be back in a second."
Lord quietly slipped out of the door and the fox took a step after him
before Lord stepped back inside. Andy blinked and looked back as Fifi looked
closely at the lyrics to the song. Dropping her accent, she began to sing soulfully as
Wakko played for the statue of Red Hot.
"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me.
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight, have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng.
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!"
As the haunting song filled the air, Yakko could only look at the statue's
frozen painted smile as great tears welled up in his shining eyes. Dot put a
sympathetic arm around her brother's shoulder as they stood together, listening.
The Doctor stood watching and listening to the enchanting song, his silver eyes
shining as his mysterious smile returned. His eyes shifted to stare at the fox.
"Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea.
Mermaids are chanting the wild loreliee;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn,
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn' on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me…"
Chapter CIX
Hamton sat on his bed in his room with his chin in his hands. He'd
stopped crying and looked up mournfully as there was a soft knock at the door.
"Come in" he sighed, wiping away the tears and sniffing them back
as his father came in quietly.
Wade took off his hat with a look of understanding and sat down beside
his son. He could tell that Hamton didn't feel like talking, so the two sat next
to each other in silence a moment.
"Girl trouble, Son?" he asked gently.
Hamton was surprised, but then realized he shouldn't be.
"Yes, Dad… How'd you know?"
Rather than answering, Wade reached out and wiped Hamton's forehead
clean with his thick bare forearm and showed it to him. The words "Girl Trouble"
showed in reverse on his father's hairy arm. Hamton looked down in
embarrassment, but his father's kindly smile took away the bad feelings.
"Actually, when ya ate everything in the refrigerator in less than five seconds,
it kinda tipped us off", Wade admitted, "Yer Mother's gone out to the grocery store."
"Gee, I'm sorry, Dad".
"Oh don't worry, Son – we'd run out of mayonnaise anyway!" his father said
lightly with a nod.
Hamton smiled but shook his head sadly. His Dad put an arm warmly
around his shoulders, took his handkerchief and wiped the tears off his son's
wet snout. He gave him a little squeeze and Hamton's piggy ears hung down as
his resistance broke. He put his head down and cried a little, and hugged his
father. Wade put his head against him and hugged him back, placing his hand
on his son's head in a moment of quiet.
"Also, when you've been married for twenty years, ya learn a thing er
two", his father told him softly, "Yer Mom and I are concerned about you…
Do you wanna talk about it?"
Hamton shut his eyes and shook his head.
"That's all right, Son", his father said, "Just don't keep it to yourself for
too long … Holding powerful feelings inside can just make it hurt even worse.
Remember – even when things seem to be bad - they always work out for
the best. I'm sure you'll do the right thing. You always have. …Just make
sure you know what you're doing before you do it."
The two looked into each other's eyes and Wade hugged his son again
before standing up.
Hamton looked at the floor as his Dad walked to the door, "Dad?"
Wade turned as Hamton crossed to him and hugged him again.
"Thank you, Dad", he said," I love you."
His father held him tight in a heartfelt moment and kissed his forehead.
"I love you, Son," he smiled," Now you get some sleep, okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight Dad."
"Goodnight, Son."
Hamton rubbed his snout as the door closed in a moment of reflection
when there was suddenly a familiar Yiddish voice in the room.
"Oy, dat vas von heart-varmink scene. I vish *my* fadder vas dat nice."
Hamton's eyes went wide with fear causing his head to expand like a balloon
until Boris the spider crawled down into the light from the far corner of the ceiling
on a web. The pig rolled his huge eyes in exasperation and let his head deflate
through his ears, sounding like a double whoopee cushion.
"Sorry keedo", the old bearded spider explained, "Between the eating all
de food, slamming doors, cryink and de fatherly talk, I guess your mother never
got a chance to tell you she'd moved me in here…I hope you don't mind?"
"Well…"
"Vell, before you throw me out, maybe I can help," Boris shrugged, talking with
his four hands alot, "You could maybe tell me tings dat you couldn't tell your
fadder, huh?"
Hamton considered this as he slumped back onto his bed and the toon spider
lowered himself on a thread into a nearby chair.
"Look, I've been married three times so I know plenty about vimen," said
the Polish arachnid, "I'm an old poysen – you gotta listen to your elders! …
Besides…Vat's de use ov being a sulky teenager if you got no von to talk at?"
Hamton still really didn't feel like it, but he shrugged and asked:" You were
married three times? What happened?"
"Meh! Lady schpiders," humphed Boris, "All they do is bite yer head off! …
They don't call 'em Black Widows fer nuthin, ya know. C'mon! Tell Boris yer troubles."
Hamton interlocked his fingers behind his head and lay back on his pillow like
a patient on a psychiatrist's couch. As Boris stroked his beard, he listened as
the young boar told him everything that had happened concerning Fifi and
Dr. Lord since the morning they'd started college. The old spider took note of
how angry Hamton grew as he spoke of seeing Lord and Fifi embrace on the
shores of Lake Champlain, of hearing the two address each other in such
familiar terms and of how devastated he was when he'd heard her cry out that
she loved the big skunk. When Hamton was finished, Boris re-adjusted his
hearing aid and sat thoughtfully awhile.
"Vell… before reaching any conclusions, I have a few qvestions", the old toon
said, rubbing his front two hands together while scratching his head with the
other two, " Foist, you say you think dis Doctor vas tryink to destroy himselv
in de race? And Fifi stopped him?"
"Well… yes."
"And dis afternoon? Don't you teenk maybe she vas doing eet again?"
"…I dunno…she said. she loved him" Hamton sighed, not wanting to say
the words.
"And vat did he say to her?"
"I don't know. I couldn't hear him through the storm…"
Hamton swallowed and thought. Boris raised a quizzical eyebrow at him.
"…She was.. trying to get him to come back," the pig admitted finally with
a deep sigh, "I guess.. she was trying to keep him from jumping."
"Vell, there you go!" Boris told him, throwing up his four hands.
"*But* - she said she loves him!" Hamton exclaimed tearfully as he buried
his face in his hands.
"Vell…maybe she does" shrugged the comical spider, before starting to
crawl vertically up the side of his chair, grumbling about his lumbago.
Once there, he revolved upside down and hung there sideways and looked
down at Hamton.
"Look. Dere's three possible answers to vat's goink on", he said holding up a
hand, "Von: Fifi iz in love with the de richest, most powerful rival you could
never hope to face up to een a million years! – Two -" (he said holding up a
second hand) "He's a very old friend ov her family like she said he is and she
just doesn't vant the poor lonely guy to make himselv kaput. And three-"
Boris fell off the side of the chair and bounced upside down on the seat after
he took his third hand off of it. Hamton sat up as the spider righted himself and
swore.
"Raskayekov!!… And three", he said finally, re-adjusting his bifocals,
"Eetz none ov the above."
"What do you mean, Mister Chachka?"
The old toon looked at him with a sniff and a grunt," The truth eez alvays
some teeng you don't suspect. Eetz never vat you tink it is. De only way to find
out for sure is - to ask. Personally… I don't really tink he's really interested in
Fifi that way. From vat you say, he's much too old for her."
"Why do you think so?"
"Eef he really taught de Merrie Melodies vay back when – den he'd be older
than I am. " Boris concluded. "Ah'm not sayink eetz eempossible, but she's
only eighteen – and he must be four or five times dat age. Would you date
somvon who vas only three yearz old? Ov course not!"
"No", Hamton agreed," But how can I find out for sure? He's too tough for
me! How can I ask him a thing like that?"
"Feh, all you need eez de right leverage," remarked Boris, rolling his
four eyes knowingly.
"Yeah, but we're talking about Doctor Lord! Now what could I possibly think
of … that… would… scare him?"
As the spider smiled at him, Hamton thought… then he got an idea.
An awful idea! Hamton got a wonderful Awful idea!
"Thanks for dinner, Doc!" said Dot cheerily at Lord's front door.
"Yeah, thanks for everything, Doc," agreed Yakko as the Warners
bade their goodbyes.
Wakko just stood there with a mischievous smirk on his face.
"I'd better be going too," said Andy, "Tomorrow I start on that public relations
problem for Bugs, Honey and Lola."
"Good luck, Andrew", Lord replied, "Your colleagues will take over."
Fifi stood beside her tall grandfather as the others started down the front walk,
but Wakko just stood there smirking.
"What do you say, Wakko?" his brother chided with false impatience.
BUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPP!
The resounding gale of a belch made a slate shingle fall off the roof right over
Fifi's head. Without looking, the Doctor caught it with one hand as the skunkette
cringed. The Warners smiled and so did he.
"Does this mean we can be normal again?" asked Dot, "Being mundane gives
me a headache."
"That depends on what your definition of 'normal' is," remarked the fox.
"I want a pony ride!" shouted Wakko, jumping onto Andy's shoulders.
"I want foxy-ride!" his sister said, doing the same and pinching Andy's
cheek ruffs, "Yer so cute! I'll hafta add you to my stable!"
"AAGH-!", yelped the Fox in terror as the Warners all jumped on his back,
then he stopped himself with an odd look on his face, "On second thought…"
"Goooodnight Everybody!" grinned Yakko as the trio happily rode the fox
out of sight.
Fifi laughed as she watched them leave, but Lord was already moving
onto something else as he pulled out a cell phone and hit a single digit.
"Hallo, Doctor " said a British voice from the other end of the line.
"Good evening, Commander. I have a dual assignment for you",
said the tall skunk in serious tones, "Prepare to receive instructions."
There was a pause and Fifi stepped around his towering figure to look up
at him. His eerie stillness was unsettling.
"Ready, Sir," said the voice.
As Fifi watched in puzzlement, Lord's silver eyes glowed with pure white light
as his colorless pupils expanded completely, dimly lighting up their surroundings.
A chill ran down Fifi's spine, turning her tail into a clunking block of ice. After a
moment, Lord's alien telepathy passed, his eyes returning to their usual
mercury-like state.
"Understood, Sir. I'll meet you at 0700… and thank you, Sir," said the voice.
"I thought you might appreciate it. See you then" Lord replied.
Before Fifi could inquire what he was doing, the Doctor made another call.
"Yes, Sir?" said a deep male voice.
"X…this is the Captain speaking", Lord said deliberately, "Rig for silent running."
"Understood, Sir".
"Go to periscope depth and proceed on course to the primary target. Take
no action without my orders."
"Acknowledged, Captain."
As her Grandfather hung up, Fifi was now completely puzzled. Lord looked out
at nothing, then as he sighed deeply, he changed to his human form of Kirrik.
They looked at each other as she waited to hear an explanation.
"I'm hungry. Are you hungry?" the man said abruptly as he walked quickly back
into the mansion.
"But you just gave us all deener" Fifi said in confusion as she followed.
"Yes, and I had to sit there and watch you all eat and pretend to eat toon food
while I was starving", Kirrik replied as he rushed to the huge kitchen. "I think I'll
spoil myself a bit," he said getting a tin from the refrigerator.
After getting a box of real crackers and a knife, the human opened the small
can and concentrated on it. As Fifi watched, strange blue flames sprang from
his hand and enveloped the metal container.
"I refuse to eat cold pate`de fois gras" he said nonchalantly.
The skunkette stared in amazement as Kirrik heated the goose liver until its'
dark smell arose. He then put the can on a plate and picked up the knife, but the
flames still surrounded his hand.
"Aheh. Pyro-kenisis", he said lightly, trying to wave out the fire, "Haven't quite
got it perfected yet."
Fifi giggled as her grandfather kept trying to shake and blow the fire off his hand.
"Nuts!" he said as he finally stuck it under the kitchen faucet and doused it with
water.
Fifi snickered as he spread some of the pate` on a cracker and ate it with great
relish. Kirrik smiled with a mouthful, making her laugh.
"Now", he asked, "What would you like in a new house?"
Buster rolled over for the fifth time and finally sat up on his bed. His burrow
was dark until he opened his cell phone and dialed a number. The glow of the
phone's display lit only his frowning face as he leaned on his elbows on his pillow.
"Hello, Babs?"
There was a bump and muffled noises as someone dropped the phone at the
other end of the line, then his fiancée's haggard voice answered.
"Buster, what the heck are you doing calling me?? I had just fallen asleep!"
Buster patiently held the phone away at arm's length for a count of ten seconds
while Babs' voice went into high-speed overdrive in yelling at him, then he
immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry Babsie, but… well…"
With her ears in curlers, Babs stopped cursing him and sighed. She could tell
when he was upset.
"Okay Buster… what's wrong?" she asked softly.
"Well, it's about the battle tomorrow –"
"You mean today's battle. It's after midnight, ya know!"
"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry to wake ya up, but… did ya read what's gonna happen?"
"I read it. One ship gets sunk an' another surrenders."
"There's more to it than that! It was the single worse day for the U.S. Navy until
the attack on Pearl Harbor!"
"So? So we'll see a lil action. It's not like that summer when you caused a tidal
wave and I pulled the plug on the Acme dam and flooded Acme Acres - or like
when Fifi stomped the city flat as a giant skunk or like when Plucky ate that
monster "El Reeko" microwave burrito!" Babs exclaimed.
"Heh, that was a gasser!" laughed Buster, "Plucky got sued by the
environmentalists for adding to the greenhouse effect!… But that's beside the point.
I'm just worried that somebody'll get hurt."
"Doctor Lord said to let him do all the worrying, so relax!" the pink bunny said
as she laid back in bed, "Besides, who can get hurt? I can pull my own head off
if the joke is funny enough and it never bothers me."
"You've been hangin' around with Gogo too much", Buster remarked, " The
point is – all that happens here in the Tooniverse - and we're gonna be in Reality."
"Okay, point taken", she agreed, "Just don't worry about it. After all, we're toons!
We can take anything!"
"I just hope yer right…" Buster shrugged.
Chapter CVXX
"Good morning, Soldiers! Are you ready for de-briefing?" Lord called down the
hallway from his mansion's office, "I have something for each of you – and I'd like
to talk to Hamton first."
Everyone looked at each other. Hamton wasn't there.
"Mais non! Qu'es que je fais?!"
It was then that Fifi realized that she'd completely forgotten about him last night!
"He ain't here yet," observed Fowlmouth.
"He didn't come to dinner with us last night" said Buster.
"Like, he must have gone home", Shirley commented casually," Cuz he
didn't come back to Plucky's room all – I mean –uh – like, he must have stayed
at his parents' house again."
Everyone snickered as Plucky glared at Shirley. The Loon blushed and made
a halo of innocence appear over her head. Babs popped it with a pin and giggled.
Just outside the mansion's doorway, Hamton was giving some last minute
secret instructions.
"Okay Boris – now you don't do anything
