Here's the top-secret project that you may have seen on my profile page. Before there are any moans, this wasn't inspired by Jetdude's Fantasy quest stories. I'm taking several winks from several series in this story. I'll leave you to guess of which series that I've taken winks from, if you want to. This will be long and will start slow so please bear with me. One more thing, do not expect a rapid update as I am approaching the end of my college course and that takes priority..

Disclaimer: As you're aware, I don't own the Looney Tunes. We all know who owns them. You'll know which characters I own.

The beginning

The location was the Extreme Entertainment Arcade, a huge entertainment centre in the city. The complex covered several floors and included a swimming pool, bowling alleys, an ice ring, a gymnasium, a sports arena, a video games arcade and several other forms of entertainment. The one that was of most interest was on the top floor. At the top was the Total immersion RPG arena. This area was one massive Virtual Reality RPG game, the most popular place in the building. The game was called 'The World of Lazreat'. Every day, the game was packed to the max. It was early morning, the place had just opened and some of the machines had been taken. However, 9 machines had been booked. They had been booked by some of the Looney Tunes. Among those present were Bugs, Lola, Jessica, Sylvester, Sylvester Jr, Tweety, Aaooga and Penelope. They were all waiting for Daffy, Melissa and Zach. It was Zach's birthday, and they were going to spend the day in the world of Lazreat as a present for him. It was Daffy that had booked the machines. Zach had mentioned it several times that he wanted to have a go, but he hadn't been told by anybody that they were doing it for his birthday. The machines had been booked and paid for by Daffy well in advance. Everybody had a present for Zach with them. Everybody was looking forward to getting into the game, Sylvester Jr. and Jessica especially. Jessica was tightly holding the present that she had for Zach, eager to give it to him first. She was also eager to get into the game. She didn't know what the game was about, so this would be an interesting experience for her, on more than one level. They were booked in to the game for the whole day. The room everybody was waiting in was the main waiting room. There were a couple of Arcade games in the room, including Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat and a racing game. Sylvester Jr. was playing on the racing game to satisfy his boredom. Everybody else was sitting at some tables in the centre of the room. Apart from the Arcade games, the tables and chairs, there was also a small food and drink stand. Everyone had a drink while they were waiting. Lola wasn't going to be on the machines, as she was still pregnant. There were three doors that led to the Total immersion machines. Each room had about 20 machines. There was also the Sales desk, with a grey coyote at the till. There was a pile of 9 sheets of paper on the table where Sylvester and Penelope were sitting. These papers were to be filled in when Zach arrived so their characters could be created. Outside the room, Daffy, Melissa and Zach were in the lift going up to the top floor. Zach was wearing a blindfold, as he had been asked to so he could be surprised. Throughout the whole trip, Zach had remained quiet. Melissa wasn't going to play on the machines, as she was looking after Rose. When the lift reached the top of the building, Zach began to suspect where he might be, but he still remained quiet. He just allowed Daffy and Melissa to lead him to the Total immersion RPG arena, even though he didn't know that's where they were going for certain.

"Ok Zach, you can remove the blindfold now." Daffy said when they reached the door to the Total immersion RPG arena. Zach nodded and lifted up the blindfold. He took one look upwards and realised where he was as soon as he saw the sign. It took him a moment for the realism to hit him. His thought as to where they were going was wrong; this was the last place he had expected to go. He really didn't know what to say.

"Well Zach, surprised?" Melissa asked. Zach was still awash with shock but was eventually able to look up at his adoptive parents.

"Daffy, Melissa, thank you. This was the last thing I expected." Zach managed to say.

"We knew you wanted to go, so we arranged this quite a while ago." Daffy said.

"Did you invite any others?"

"Of course we did."

"Then we might as well go in and wait for them." Zach had no idea that Jessica was hiding on the other side of the door, ready to ambush him as soon as he entered. She had heard them arrive and thought she'd give her boyfriend a surprise for when he entered. Zach opened the door and entered the room first. Before he had noticed everyone else, Jessica had jumped him. She grabbed hold of him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Your guests are already here." Jessica greeted.

"Happy birthday Zach!" Everyone else said in unison as soon as Zach had received his kiss from Jessica. He couldn't believe it. This, so far, was the best birthday that he'd had. He hugged Jessica back and looked up at everyone.

"Everyone, thank you." Zach said.

After the shock had died down, Zach was sitting at one of the tables with a drink in his hand and a character creation sheet in front of him. Everyone other than Melissa had a sheet so they could create the characters that they would be in the game. Bugs, Lola, Daffy and Melissa were sitting with the two rabbits. Those that were playing were also busy creating their characters as well. The name of the character was just their name, but they had to choose what type of fighter they would be and generate their starting stats. This was done with the help of a guide sheet and some dice. They had been told that they would automatically get the skills of their chosen character type the moment they entered the game. The stats that they would be generating were labelled HP, Attack, Defence, Speed, Mental Attack and Mental Defence. There was also a list of character types on a separate sheet of paper. Sylvester, Penelope, Sylvester Jr, Tweety and Aaooga were on another table doing exactly the same thing. Zach hadn't opened any of his other presents yet; they were being saved for after the game was over. This was Zach's idea, as it would give him something to look forward to for when the game were finished.

"Daffy, where were we going to go once the games' finished?" Zach asked.

"What do you mean?" Daffy asked back.

"Well, I can't really open the presents from everybody else here."

"Hmm. We could all go back to your house, Zach can open his presents and then we could all have some food." Lola suggested.

"In which case, I'll go take your presents home and get some suitable foods while you guys are playing." Melissa said.

"Thanks Melissa." Zach replied.

"I'll stay here and wait for you lot to finish then." Lola said. Everybody nodded.

"So, what are you guys going to be?" Bugs asked.

"I've decided on being a swordsman." Zach replied.

"What about you Jess?"

"She should be a mage of some sort." Daffy suggested.

"I want to but I'm not sure of how I'd cope." Jessica said.

"Why?"

"On my games, I have difficulty using purely magic users."

"Then why not be a magic swordswoman?" Zach suggested.

"A what?" Melissa asked.

"They can use swords and can also use limited magic."

"I like that idea. I'll give it a try." Jessica replied.

"I've decided on a two-sword swordsman." Bugs said.

"What about you Daff?" Jessica asked.

"I really don't know." Daffy replied.

"To be honest, I'm not sure if we can trust you with any weapons." Jessica joked. Everyone but Daffy laughed.

"Fine then. I'll be a fist-fighter." On the table where the others were, there was a similar discussion going on. Sylvester, Penelope, Sylvester Jr, Tweety and Aaooga were trying to decide on what type of characters they should be.

"Penelope, why don't you have first choice as to what you are?" Sylvester suggested.

"Why thank you." Penelope replied.

"So, what do you want to be?" Tweety asked. Penelope took a look at the list of available character types and had a think as to what would be most suitable for her. She eventually made a decision.

"I'll be an archer."

"That's an interesting choice." Sylvester Jr. muttered.

"What about you Sylvester?" Aaooga asked.

"I was thinking of being a cleric." Sylvester replied.

"What about you?" Penelope asked.

"Us? We're going to be mages." Aaooga replied.

"Both of you?" Sylvester asked.

"We're too small to use most weapons so using magic would be the best option for us."

"What about you son?" Sylvester asked.

"I've decided on using an axe." Sylvester Jr. replied.

"Will you be ok with using a weapon like that?"

"I'll be fine father."

After a few minutes, everybody had successfully created his or her characters for the game. Bugs was a swordsman that used two swords, Daffy was an unarmed fist-fighter, Sylvester was a cleric, Penelope was an archer, Sylvester Jr. was an ax-man, Tweety and Aaooga were mages, Jessica was a magic swordswoman and Zach was a swordsman. The group was now in one of the rooms with the Total immersion machines. The machines were basically seats with a hood that came down over the face. There were straps to keep the people in the machine. There were also smaller machines for the smaller customers. Before the group had entered the room, they had given their character sheets to the grey coyote ad he had given them each a character card. The character card was green with their name and character type. There was a slot on each of the Total immersion machines to insert the card into. This would generate the character and his/her abilities. At the moment, the group was listening to a Brown monkey wearing a blue cap. The monkey was talking to the group about the mechanics of the game.

"Ok, obviously none of you have been on this before." The monkey said. Everybody shook their heads. The monkey then began explaining everything they needed to know.

"Ok then. The world that you are about to enter is called Lazreat. You will begin at a campsite situated in a random location in the world. You will be placed a safe distance from all dangers though. The land is filled with towns, other people, friends and enemies, monsters and temples. The scenario has already been determined. You have until the time you have pre-purchased to get as far as you can with the scenario. As well as working with other customers, you are also competing with them to complete the scenario first. Whichever group completes the scenario first will gain a free play."

"How will we be carrying any items that we obtain?" Daffy asked.

"Everyone will have a bag to store any items that you may find on your quest. The items will range from the usual healing items to money to items that are key to your adventure."

"And how do we check our statistics and such?" Bugs asked.

"In the bag you will find a small book called your quest log. This book will contain all the information that you need. The front page will show your stats and the amount of experience points that you need to reach the next level. Are there any other questions?"

"What about the time scale?" Jessica asked.

"It varies depending on how long you have paid for. You could be in the game for 20 game days and find that only 7 hours have passed in reality."

"Erm…"

"I don't understand it either."

"We could ask Wile E." Daffy suggested.

"Want a 5 hour lecture?" Zach asked. Daffy shook his head.

"Any other questions?" The monkey asked.

"I think that we'll be able to figure everything out by ourselves." Sylvester said.

"Now, you'll need to elect a group leader before you begin."

"Since it's Zach's birthday, why don't we let Zach be the leader?" Tweety suggested.

"Are you up for that?" Jessica asked.

"Sure, I'm up for it." Zach replied.

"Ok then young lad. It will be you that decides on all of the important matters in the game. Now we're ready to get yourselves strapped into the game." The monkey said. Everyone nodded and found a machine that they could use. This was mostly down to their size. Tweety and Aaooga had canary sized machines, the smallest available. Once everyone was in and their character cards were inserted into the machines, the monkey strapped everybody into the machines and attached food catheters and biofeedback catheters to the machines.

"Ok guys, are you all ready?" The monkey asked. Everybody gave a thumbs up. The monkey nodded and pulled a lever on the side of the room.

"Ok, before you began, I have to give you a notice regarding your safety. When the machines are activated at first, you will have a falling sensation. Just close your eyes and open them when the sensation stops. You will be alerted when your time is nearly up. Enjoy yourselves and good luck." As the monkey said this, glass hoods came down and over everybody's eyes. There was then a sensation of falling through space. Everyone closed their eyes for a moment and waited for the sensation to stop. When the sensation would eventually stop, their adventure would begin.

A/N: If you want one of your characters to appear in the story, let me know by all means. This won't change the outcome of the story though.
