KidsWBYungsta Presents Looney Tunes & Sailor Moon: Sailor Space Jam! – Chapter 04: When the Witches 5 Come on the Scene
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Moron Mountain Spaceship / Oracle Arena – Oakland, California
After the Witches 5 sent Kaolinite back to the Death Busters headquarters at the Azabu-Jūban district until the night of the Ultimate Game came around, the girls were en route back into the real world as they tried to find a good basketball game they could watch in order to steal the talents of certain NBA superstars. There was a wide variety of teams playing on Halloween night: the Suns and Clippers were playing in Los Angeles—the girls did keep the Los Angeles Clippers in mind because Mimete really wanted to see High Griffinition in action—and the next couple of games for the next few days would involve other big teams, such as the San Antonio Spurs playing against the Jazz the next day and the Oklahoma City Thunder battling the Clippers on November 2nd. Eudial took notice of the NBA schedule as she turned to the other members of the Witches 5 and said, "Alright, ladies, it looks like the NBA is going to be stacked with a couple of games for the next two days ... so which game do you think we should see first?"
The other members of the Witches 5 looked at the schedule of the current NBA season and tried to figure out which game would be interesting to watch. While the Magic-Lakers game might've generated a lot of interest among the girls due to Swaggy P, that wouldn't bring as much star power as any of the other games that night. Soon, Tellu took notice of the Cavaliers-Warriors game and said, "Hey, Eudial, how about we check out what's going down at that CCavaliers-Warriors game?"
"The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors? What kind of stars do they have on their teams?" Eudial asked curiously.
"Well, according to my research, it seems that the Cavaliers have gotten LeBron James back on their team again and the Warriors had acquired Kevin Durant during their off-season after their Finals showdown," Viluy said as she found the information on her smartphone.
Eudial seemed to be interested in seeing King James and KD in action on the court. She and the rest of the Witches 5 exchanged devious smirks as she said, "Hey, ladies, are you thinking what I'm thinking right now?"
"I think so, Eudial, but what do the Grammy Awards have to do with this basketball mission?" Mimete quipped, getting a confused look from Eudial in response. "Sorry, I guess I was watching a lot of Animaniacs cartoons just as much as I was watching Space Jam."
"Figures," Eudial said with a sigh. "Alright, Viluy, I guess we're off to see LeBron and Kevin in action at the Oracle Arena!" Eudial said with a smirk as the Moron Mountain spaceship made its way to the Oracle Arena where the Cavaliers and Warriors were playing tonight.
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Entrance to the Oracle Arena: Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors – Oakland, California
As the Moron Mountain spaceship landed near the Oracle Arena, the Witches 5 stepped out in style before they were stopped by Viluy, who said with concern in her voice, "Wait a minute, Eudial! We can't go into the arena looking like this!"
Eudial just looked confused about Viluy's concern as she said while raising an eyebrow, "What are you talking about, Viluy?"
"I mean, we can't watch the game in our usual attire," Viluy said, referencing their Witches 5 clothing. "Besides, what person in the real world would wear something like this to a basketball game?"
The rest of the Witches 5 looked at their clothes as Tellu said, "Y'know, she does have a point, Eudial. What if somebody wises up to our ulterior motives?"
"Hmm ..." Eudial said as she rubbed her chin for a bit, then an idea came into her head as she said, "Wait, I have a simple solution! Why don't we enter the arena in a foolproof disguise, then knock out some sucker to get into the game?"
"What disguise do you mean?" Cyprine asked curiously.
Eudial then pulled out a stylish raincoat and a fedora as she said, "We could hide under the disguise of a real world female, so as to not attract any attention."
"I don't know about this, Eudial," Viluy said in a tone of concern. "Are you sure this will work? I mean, you remember what almost happened when the Nerdlucks tried this plan in Space Jam and they almost blew their cover?"
"Take note of what you just said there, Viluy," Mimete said. "They almost blew it, but they still pulled it off. Listen, I'm sure if the Nerdlucks managed to pull it off without blowing their cover even once, I'm positive we could pull this disguise off flawlessly!"
Viluy just sighed as she said, "If you say so ... alright, Eudial, go ahead and get the disguise ready."
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Oracle Arena: Cleveland Cavaliers at Golden State Warriors – Oakland, California
Inside the Oracle Arena, the intense, yet wildly entertaining basketball game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors was already underway as evidenced by the energy and atmosphere shown all over the Oracle Arena. The Finals rematch was currently in its second quarter and both teams were playing high-energy basketball as they were both tied at 50 points apiece. While the Cavaliers fans in the arena cheered wildly for their team when King James made a 3-pont jumpshot, putting the Cavaliers 3 points ahead of the Warriors, the Witches 5 finally arrived in the arena in their disguises as normal teenage girls, though Eudial decided to wear the stylish raincoat and fedora. Surprisingly enough, they managed to steal—scratch that, buy the tickets from an unconscious—no, make that reasonable ticket vendor ... that is, when he was knocked unconscious after Mimete used her Charm Buster against him.
"Oops, excuse us, so sorry," Tellu said as she and the rest of the Witches 5 were squeezing through the audience members present in the arena.
"Pardon us!" Mimete said as she followed the rest of the Witches 5.
As the girls started to sit down, Cyprine, Mimete and Tellu almost tripped amongst themselves as Mimete cried, "Ow! Viluy, could you move your foot out of the way?!"
"Hey, sorry, Mimete!" Viluy said. "I thought you were already sitting down!"
Eudial tried to silence the rest of the Witches 5 as she noticed a red-haired young female, Miranda Magnificent, staring at her with confusion. She whispered to the rest of the Witches 5, "Hey, quiet, girls! They're looking at us right now!"
After the Witches 5 started to settle down, Eudial looked at the basketball game in amazement as she said to the girls, "Hey, check it out, ladies! It's basketball!"
Once Eudial made this comment about the Cavaliers-Warriors game, Tellu and Cyprine tried to get a good look at the game as Tellu said in amazement, "Whoa ... I haven't seen this much energy and intensity in one place since that time Mimete was playing a game of Twister."
Cyprine giggled in response as she said, "Well, admittedly, this basketball game is more exciting."
During the game, KD managed to make a 3-point jumpshot that tied the Cavaliers and Warriors at 53 points apiece, but King James managed to rush down the other side of the court and make a slam dunk, helping the Cavaliers lead over the Warriors with a score of 55-53. However, back in the stadium seats, the antics of the Witches 5 started to catch the attention of Miranda Magnificent, which Eudial quickly noticed. She then turned to the rest of the Witches 5, who were busy trying to get caught on the stadium star cam, and said, "Hey, hey, girls!"
"What is it, Eudial?" Viluy said as she and the others turned to Eudial.
"That girl is looking at us again!" Eudial whispered to the rest of the Witches 5.
"Hurry, we gotta hide! We gotta hide somewhere!" Tellu said as Eudial managed to produce a compatible tent in the stadium seats, which just confused Miranda even more.
While the Witches 5 were supposedly starting to engage in more of their antics, Miranda turned to her friend, Hitman Hollywood, and said, "Hey, Hitman, I thought you said we were going to have better seats for tonight's game."
However, Miranda's comment confused Hitman Hollywood as he said to her, "What do you mean, Miranda? I thought these were the best seats in the house."
"Well, technically, they are, but this group of girls have been engaging in weird antics for most of the night," Miranda explained. "Plus, I don't know how they managed to do it in an arena like this, but they are probably doing something really weird in this random tent they built."
Hitman took notice of the tent next to Miranda as he just shook his head and said, "I knew I should've asked for courtside seats this time around. Aw, man, look at that! I can't believe LeBron James is killing these Golden State Warriors tonight, baby! It looks like Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry might have their work cut out for them tonight!"
Hitman's comment seemed to pique Tellu's interest as she popped her head out of the tent and said, "Hey, girls! It sounds like someone's killin' someone out there!"
"No, seriously?" Viluy said in a sarcastic tone as she also poked her head out of the tent.
Eudial seemed to be interested in Tellu and Viluy's little conversation as she rushed up and poked her head out of the tent, then she said, "Wait a minute, did you just say there's a killer out there? C'mon, girls, let me see! Let me see this 'killer' you girls are talking about!"
Soon, the Witches 5 all saw King James in action on the court, playing the game with quick wits, fast reflexes and an aura of confidence about himself, which led to Cyprine pointing him out and saying, "There he goes! That's him! That's the killer out there on the court!"
The Witches 5 all centered their attention on King James playing basketball as Tellu said in amazement, "Wow ... that guy's pretty big."
"He's so talented," Viluy said, referring to King James' prowess on the court.
"He's good ..." Cyprine added.
"He's so dreamy!" Mimete said as hearts appeared in her eyes and she gave a loving sigh.
Eudial pulled out the list that had the names of the five NBA players they had written down before they arrived at the Oracle Arena, then she took notice of King James' name at the top of the list. Once she noticed King James' name, she then peeked out of the tent as she smirked deviously and said, "Oh, he's mine!"
"Alright, Eudial, go ahead and get him!" Cyprine said as Eudial winked her eyes at Cyprine.
"Alright then, I hope this mist potion works out to my advantage," Eudial said as she took a sip of a magical mist potion she had concocted in the tent.
Once Eudial took a sip of the magical mist potion, she turned to magical red-colored mist as she flew out of the tent and started to make her way onto the court. Just as she was making her way on the court, King James managed to make another slam dunk, but he was sidetracked by Eudial entering his body in her magical mist form, causing mass confusion among the spectators in the stadium and inciting looks of concern from his teammates and his coach! Once Eudial stole his talent from within, she flew out of King James' body and made her way back to the Witches 5 as King James' teammates, J.R. Swish and Kyriediculous, were trying to get his head back into the game, just as KD managed to make an easy slam dunk while the Cavaliers were distracted by what just happened to King James.
"What's going on with LeBron?" The Cavaliers' coach asked in concern as he noticed King James looking lost on the court.
The Cavaliers' coach and their bench players were just confused as to how King James managed to go from their team leader to feeling like he was playing in a high-school basketball game, especially when they all noticed he forgot to catch a rebound of a missed shot from Kyriediculous—which turned into another easy opportunity for a 3-point jumpshot from Sous Chef Curry—and how he ended up turning an easy 2-point floater into a world-class brickshot.
"Time-out! Just call a time-out!" the coach bellowed as King James and his fellow Cavs players made their way to the bench.
While the Cavaliers went to the bench to figure out the sudden cause of King James' lack of talent, the Witches 5 opened their tent back up as Eudial flew into their magical basketball and placed King James' talent into the ball, then she flew out of the basketball and turned back to normal as she dusted herself off and smirked, saying, "Well, what do you know? That was just too easy."
"So, how did you do, Eudial?" Tellu asked while smirking at Eudial.
"Isn't it obvious, Tellu? I actually got it! I got the talent of King LeBron James!" Eudial said with a devious smirk as she pointed at the magical basketball, leaving the rest of the Witches 5 in amazement.
"Oh, too cool!" Tellu said in amazement.
"That's so radical," Mimete said in a similar tone of amazement.
Following the confusion among the Cavaliers players in regards to their star player, King James, and his sudden loss of talent, the coach decided to sit him out for the rest of the game because he thought he was playing too many minutes in the game. Meanwhile, KD was helping his fellow teammates surge a major comeback for the Golden State Warriors as they were making a major breakthrough in the second half of the Cavaliers-Warriors game, with the Warriors actually regaining their lead over the Cavaliers. However, KD would also find himself in the same situation as King James once he felt Tellu enter his body in her magical green-colored mist form, stealing his talent as well as she flew out of his body, causing a similar sense of confusion and uneasiness among the players and spectators.
Once Tellu returned to the Witches 5 and managed to get the talent into their magical basketball while she was in her mist form, she eventually popped out, turned back to her normal self and said, "Wow, that was way too easy! Alright, that's two superstars down, three more to go!"
"Which reminds me: Viluy, who else is on our list?" Eudial asked Viluy curiously.
Viluy took a look at the list and looked up at the other members of the Witches 5 as she said, "Well, based on this list, we still have to get the talent of Oklahoma City Thunder's top point guard, Russell Westbrook; San Antonio Spurs center / power forward LaMarcus Aldridge; and, finally, Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin."
Mimete sighed lovingly as she heard High Griffinition's name mentioned, inciting groans and eye-rolling from the rest of the Witches 5. Mimete sensed the annoyance of her team members as she said in an indignant tone, "What? Don't tell me you girls had a crush on a celebrity before."
"We did, but not as much as you do, Mimete," Tellu quipped, which caused Mimete to pucker her lips in annoyance.
"Come on, girls, we have to stay focused!" Eudial said. "The next two nights are going to be busy, so we can stay one step ahead of those Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians! We can't let our guard down for a min—no, scratch that, we can't let our guard down at all! Is that clear?"
"Clear as water," Mimete said under her breath, inciting light giggling from the other members of the Witches 5.
Eudial just groaned as she led the Witches 5 out of the arena, saying, "Come on, we have to get some rest before we go out to Salt Lake City tomorrow night for the Spurs-Jazz game to get the talent of a certain LaMarcus Aldridge."
While the Witches 5 snuck out of the Oracle Arena to prepare for tomorrow night, KD was continuing to play erractically on the court, all culminating in him throwing an airball for one of his free throws, which only led to mass confusion and concern for his teammates, the Cavaliers and the spectators present in the Oracle Arena.
Date: Tuesday, November 1, 2016 – Vivint Smart Home Arena: San Antonio Spurs at Utah Jazz – Salt Lake City, Utah
After their hijinks at the Cleveland Cavaliers-Golden State Warriors game that culminated in stealing the talent of both King James and KD, the Witches 5 were at it again when they arrived at the San Antonio Spurs-Utah Jazz game. The game was currently at the start of its second-half and the San Antonio Spurs were holding their own against the Spurs, even though they had lost their long-running franchise player, Slam Duncan, to retirement before the start of the season. Luckily, the Spurs still possessed some top-tier talent on their side, including other long-running franchise players T.P. and El Contusion, young phenom The Claw, rising defensive powerhouse Sir SlamMarcus and recent recruit from the current-era Chicago Bulls, Kung Pao.
Throughout most of the game, things were running smoothly for the Spurs since they had a huge advantage over the Utah Jazz. However, the Witches 5 were watching from the comfort of their own tent from afar as Cyprine peeked her head out from the tent, took notice of Sir SlamMarcus and said to the rest of the Witches 5, "Oh, yeah, LaMarcus is definitely mine! Eudial, hand me that magical mist potion."
"With pleasure," Eudial said as she handed Cyprine the magical mist potion.
Once Cyprine took a sip of the potion, she turned into a blue-colored variant of the magical mist and flew out onto the court, making her way into Sir SlamMarcus' body, stealing his talent from within, then coming back out once she was finished. Once he felt the effects of the mist in his body, Sir SlamMarcus started to lose his skills and composure on the court as he started to play ball in an eccentric fashion.
After Cyprine placed Sir SlamMarcus' talent into the magical basketball, she popped out and turned back to normal as she said to Eudial, "I gotta say, Eudial, that magical mist potion of yours is working like a charm! It sounds way better than us turning into some gelatinous type of liquid and slithering onto the court."
"Well, what can I say? I prefer subtlety over blatant elements, Cyprine," Eudial said. "I thought magical mist would be classy anyway. So, did you manage to get the talent of that LaMarcus Aldridge character?"
"Oh, yeah," Cyprine said as she held the magical basketball. "As you can see from this magical basketball here."
"Excellent! Three down, two superstars to go!" Eudial said as she and the rest of the Witches 5 left the Vivint Smart Home Arena to prepare for the Thunder-Clippers game.
Date: Wednesday, November 2, 2016 – Staples Center: Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Clippers – Los Angeles, California
For the final night before they decided to show the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians their new-and-improved talented selves, the Witches 5 decided to make a stop at the world-renowned Staples Center to see the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers throw down on the court. Of course, the girls were hoping to find their last two star players in this game: Beastbrook and High Griffinition. Both teams were playing some intense basketball as they were trying their best to keep up with each other as Beastbrook helped the Thunder hold a major lead over the Clippers, but High Griffinition, CP3 and DeAndré 3000 were trying their best to save the Clippers from falling to the Thunder.
Once again, the Witches 5 found their way into the Staples Center and set up their tent again as Viluy and Mimete both looked at their intended targets, then they turned to Eudial and Viluy said, "Alright, Eudial, I think we're ready."
"Alright, ladies, make sure you get your intended targets and Mimete ... don't start fangirling over Blake Griffin when you get out there on the court," Eudial said with a sigh as she handed Mimete and Viluy the magical mist potion.
"Oh, come on, Eudial, you're going to keep bringing that up with me?" Mimete said as she took the potion from Eudial and started to take a sip.
"Well, you were known for trying to steal the Pure Hearts of young male celebrities back in the day," Eudial said.
After Viluy and Mimete each took a sip of the magical mist potion, the girls both turned into magical mists of their respective colors: Viluy represented by a snow white-colored mist and Mimete represented by an orange-colored mist. Once both girls turned into magical mist, the girls flew onto the court and stole the talent of their respective targets, which caused them to play erractically on the court, much to the utter shock and surprise of their respective teams. As soon as both girls returned to the tent and placed the talents into the magical basketball, Eudial smirked at both Viluy and Mimete as she said, "Well, ladies, it looks like we have gotten to all of the players we've needed."
"Right, so ... what do you say we take these skills and show 'em what we're made of!" Mimete said as she rushed up to touch the magical basketball before she was stopped by Tellu.
"Whoa! Hold up, Mimete, we can't get to the talent ... yet," Tellu said, a devious smirk appearing on her face as she said the last part of her sentence.
"What do you mean by that, Tellu?" Mimete asked curiously while raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I mean that we need to wait until we return to Looney Tune Land and show those crazy Looney Tunes and pathetic Sailor Guardians what benefits this new talent will give us!" Tellu explained as she smiled evilly.
"Exactly," Eudial said as she placed the magical basketball into their gym bag. "Come on, girls, let's see if we can find a place to stay in Looney Tune Land tonight. Tomorrow, we'll get the chance to show those screwballs what we're made of."
The Witches 5 all laughed evilly as they left the Staples Center and boarded the Moron Mountain spaceship, finding their way back into Looney Tune Land.
Date: Thursday, November 3, 2016 – Holiday Inn Express Hotel – Boston, Massachusetts
The next day in the real world, Jimmy Butler was relaxing in his hotel room in Boston, Massachusetts, reading an interesting memoir titled Gone Til November, which was written by iconic hip-hop artist and entrepreneur Lil Wayne. While Jimmy was getting into reading the book, he heard Kristen Ledlow on the television talking about a recent epidemic that has been affecting the NBA players for the past three nights. Once Kristen mentioned the idea of a recent epidemic, Jimmy turned up his television to hear what Kristen had to say.
"In a recent and shocking development, five NBA players have been placed on the disabled list, all due to suffering a mysterious ailment that has affected five NBA players two decades earlier," Kristen explained as the show played clips of the NBA players playing erratically in some of the more recent games. "Although the NBA has been unaware of any debilitating effects on the physical health of the players in question, they have noted that they have seen some mysterious mist flying near the NBA players and it seems to have had a negative effect on the players' offensive and defensive awareness ..."
Jimmy started to wonder what the source of this mysterious mist was and who would think of doing this to some of his fellow players. Suddenly, Jimmy heard his iPhone ring, so he answered it and Michael was on the other line, saying, "Hey, Jimmy, how are you doing?"
"Doing good, Mike," Jimmy said as he continued watching the news report about this mysterious ailment affecting players in the NBA. "Hey, Mike, are you watching NBA TV right now?"
"Yeah, are they talking about this mysterious ailment that's been affecting some of the players?" Michael asked curiously.
"Oh, yeah, it sounds like it's more serious than what was affecting Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson and Shawn Bradley 20 years earlier," Jimmy said.
"You think so?" Michael asked.
"Mike, believe me," Jimmy said. "If these guys are playing over-the-top basketball, something suspect is going on around here."
"I see," Michael said from the other line. "Well, it's a good thing you're out there in Boston where you won't be affected by this ailment."
"Yeah, I guess that's a blessing in disguise," Jimmy said with a slight laugh. "I think it's a good thing that you retired for good after 2003."
"What makes you say that, Jimmy?" Michael asked in an incredulous tone.
"Well, if you were playing right now, it would be possible that this ailment would affect you like how it affected your old friends in the '90s," Jimmy said while laughing.
Michael laughed in response from the other line until Jimmy heard a knock at the door, then he said, "Oh, Mike, that must be Jasmine. Hey, I'll talk to you later."
"Alright, Jimmy, good luck playing against the Celtics tonight," Michael said.
"Thanks, Mike, I'll try my best against those guys. See ya," Jimmy said as he hung up his iPhone, then he turned to the door and said, "Alright, Jasmine, you can come in! The door was open anyway!"
Jasmine then walked into Jimmy's hotel room and said, "Hey, Jimmy, how are you doing today?"
"Oh, I'm doing fine, Jazz," Jimmy said with a smile. "Why do you ask?"
"Well ... you seem to be taking this whole 'NBA being affected by this mysterious ailment' situation rather well," Jasmine said with a smirk.
"Yeah ... Jazz, I know it's not going to affect all of the players in the NBA," Jimmy said. "I'm sure the five players who were affected are going to be nursed back to health and, by the time the holidays come around, I'm positive they will be back in game-playing shape."
"Well, you are sounding pretty optimistic about these guys getting better before it all leads to another NBA lockout," Jasmine said.
"I'm just hoping that it doesn't result in another lockout like last time," Jimmy said while sighing. "If it leads to another lockout for the remainder of the season, it might be disappointing for the fans."
Jasmine just patted Jimmy on his back as she said in a reassuring tone, "Hey, come on, Jimmy ... the early break from the NBA season could be beneficial for these guys, you know? Maybe they could use the time of this lockout to improve themselves, so they could come back as stronger players for the next season."
Jimmy gave a genuine smile in response as he chuckled and said, "Yeah, I guess you got a point there, Jasmine."
"Hey, you wanna go to the court and practice with your teammates?" Jasmine asked.
"Well, yeah," Jimmy said. "Besides, I gotta make sure my teammates are safe from this mysterious ailment, so they—or any of the other NBA players, for that matter—aren't affected by this mysterious mist that seems to be flying around the court."
"Great! Listen, go ahead and grab your Air Jordans, your Frosted Flakes, your Hanes, your Gatorade and we'll pick up a Big Mac on the way to the court!" Jasmine said.
As Jimmy and Jasmine started to leave the hotel to meet up with the other Bulls players, Jimmy looked at Jasmine and smirked as he said, "Jasmine, did you just perform a Space Jam reference?"
Jasmine just blushed in response as she said, "Oh ... call it a weakness, Jimmy."
Date: Thursday, November 4, 2016 – Warner Bros. Rucker Park – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
Meanwhile, back in Looney Tune Land, the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians, who had switched into their civilian forms after the meeting on Halloween night, were all gathered at the Warner Bros. Rucker Park, preparing for their basketball challenge against the Witches 5. While the Sailor Guardians and some of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters were sitting on a set of bleachers across the court, Bugs Bunny was honing up his Space Jam skills, making a wide variety of 2-pointers, 3-pointers and dunks, finally making a successful 3-point jumpshot as he eventually caught the basketball and dribbled the basketball to the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians.
"Okay, okay, so how many of you maroons have ever played basketball before?" Bugs Bunny asked the Tunes and Sailor Guardians who were sitting on the bleachers.
Some of the Looney Tunes, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Buster and Babs all raised their hands in response, but the others could only stare at the de facto leader of the Looney Tunes in complete confusion. Suddenly, Daffy Duck popped up in front of Bugs and said, "I have, coach! In fact, I think there is a particular strategic question that I need to ask you!"
Bugs could only roll his eyes at the screwball duck as he said with a sigh, "Yeah, what is it?"
Suddenly, a random fashion show-style stage appeared out of the blue as Daffy started to model in different styles of sports clothing, ranging from an old-school '70s basketball outfit and a cheerleading outfit to modernised baseball gear and tennis clothing, finally modeling in a ridiculously-styled dark blue and grey basketball jersey, which had a style reminiscent to the current uniforms of the Orlando Magic.
"So, what do you think, Bugs?" Daffy said to Bugs as he showed his new basketball clothes off to Bugs and the cartoon spectators present at the time. "I'm kinda partial to the dark blue and grey myself. I mean, it definitely goes better with my coloring, if you ask me."
While Daffy was modeling in his basketball gear, Porky Pig walked up to the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians as he said, "Hey, g-g-guys! N-n-n-nice outfit, Daffy. Anyway, th-th-the Witches 5 say that it's their turn to eh-uh-eh-uh-use the court."
While he was saying this to the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians, the Witches 5 were busy engaging in a series of physical exercises before the quick jam session against the Tunes and Sailor Guardians. Some of the Tunes and a few of the Guardians were watching the scene in simultaneous incredulty and amusement. However, no one actually noticed the glowing magical basketball that was inside the Witches 5's gym bag ... though it seemed to catch Ami's attention as she thought to herself, "Why is the Witches 5's basketball glowing right now? Basketballs usually don't glow like that ... well, unless you're the Nerdlucks anyway."
Usagi noticed Ami looking at the Witches 5's glowing basketball and tried to snap her back to reality as she said while waving her hand in her friend's face, "Hello, Earth to Ami! Are you in there somewhere? Why are you dozing off into space right now?"
Ami snapped back into reality as she turned to Usagi and said, "Huh? Oh, sorry about that, Usagi, I was just confused as to why their basketball was emitting this weird, magical glow."
Usagi also took a look at the Witches 5's basketball and noticed the magical glow as she turned back to Ami and said, "Huh, I guess that is pretty strange."
However, the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians did not feel as though the Witches 5 were up for the basketball challenge as Bugs laughed and said with a smirk, "Yeah, sure, why don't we go ahead and let the Witches 5 knock themselves out?"
"Yeah, if we managed to beat them before, you Tunes don't have to worry about a thing," Haruka said while laughing with the Tunes and her fellow Sailor Guardians. "It's obvious we're going to win this game against the Witches 5."
Eudial growled at the Tunes and the Guardians in response, then Daffy unintentionally set them off with just one quote, "Too bad you girls won't become the superpowered basketball starlets Swackhammer dreamed of, girls!"
After Daffy's comment and the ensuing laughter from the Tunes and Guardians, the Witches 5 just felt more annoyed about how the Tunes and the Guardians were joking about their well-known incompetence, but they exchanged evil grins and devious smirks as Cyprine said to herself, "That's what you think, you pathetic Tunes and Guardians! Alright, ladies, are you ready for this?"
"Oh, yeah, I think it's time we show the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians what we're really made of!" Tellu said with a devious smirk on her face.
Suddenly, dark clouds and thunder were starting to appear in the sky as the Witches 5 opened their personal gym bag and revealed the glowing, magical basketball, with the girls placing their hands on the basketball at once, which led to the girls having strange reactions to the magical energy that was entering their bodies. This noise and strange energy caught the attention of the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians, causing them to stop in their tracks and turn around to see what was going on with the Witches 5.
Kicking off the transformation sequence, Eudial felt King James' talent and magical energy entering her body as she became a little bit taller and felt herself becoming more powerful than she was initially, as well a receiving the expansive skillset of King James. While Eudial was engaging in her transformation, Mimete looked on in amazement, then she noticed her shoes switching into superpowered basketball sneakers as the power caused her to fly and roar herself to the top, becoming a more powerful and superior version of her original self that included High Griffinition's basketball skills. Eventually, Tellu found herself engaging in a dramatic transformation that caused her to become another powerful basketball starlet, giving herself KD's basketball skills and some added dragon-like reflexes.
Once Tellu signified her dramatic transformation by roaring like a dungeon dragon, the Witches 5 eventually became the true superpowered basketball starlets they had dreamed of becoming, wearing black and light purple basketball jerseys with the number of their respective player. Following the dramatic transformation and the amazing display that accompanied said transformation, the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians all looked shocked at the new-and-improved Witches 5, who were standing tall and posing threateningly in front of the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians. Mimete then walked up to Porky Pig and said in a mocking tone, "Hey, little pig ..."
Mimete looked at Porky face-to-face and finally said, "Boo."
Porky shrieked in response to Mimete's little comment, then he finally caught himself as he looked at the audience and said, "I j-j-just made a fool of myself again, didn't I?"
The Witches 5 all laughed at Porky as Tellu walked up and picked up the basketball Bugs was using a few scenes earlier, then she turned to her fellow Witches 5 members and said, "Hey, ladies, I think it's time we play a little basketball! Hi-ya!"
Tellu then jumped into the air and threw the basketball so hard into the ground that it caused a major earthquake on the basketball court. While the earthquake was occurring, the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians tried to run to safety, but they knew it was going to be all for naught, so they decided to cover themselves for protection.
"Oh, brother, those evil witches just turned themselves into international basketball superstarlets!" Daffy said in shock as he covered his face and shook his knees in fear.
"I think they became the new monsters!" Wakko said in complete fear.
Suddenly, Sylvester decided to put two-and-two together and got in between Daffy and Wakko as he said, "Sufferin' Succotash! I think the Witches 5 became the new MonStarlets!"
Well, aren't you the perceptive one?" Eudial said in a mocking tone as she glared at the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians.
"Listen, you girls may have the talent of five random NBA players instilled in you now, but the Looney Tunes have us on their side and we know everything about you from the inside out!" Rei said in a confident tone as she glared at Eudial. "We are definitely going to win this basketball game no matter what!"
Viluy then walked up to Rei's face and mockingly said, "Oh, really, Rei? Well, I hate to burst your little confidence bubble in front of these Looney Tunes and your fellow Sailor Guardians, but ... unless you guys manage to get Michael Jordan on your team again—which I highly doubt because you all know and we all know that Michael Jordan's way past his prime—you guys are all going to be stuck on Moron Mountain for the rest of your natural born lives, plus this will be our first victory over Sailor Moon and you pathetic girls, so I suggest you start packing because you guys are going to be kissing the Animation Multiverse goodbye after we kick your butts on November 15th!"
"Speaking of which, why don't we go ahead and find a gym where we can practice?" Eudial said with a smirk. "We need to keep honing up our skills if we want to ensure our future victory!"
"You got it, Eudial!" Mimete said as she and the other members of the Witches 5 followed Eudial.
Tellu then popped the basketball and threw it away as she mockingly said to the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians, "Buh-bye!"
Once the new-and-improved Witches 5 left the Warner Bros. Rucker Park, the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians were mostly shell-shocked after the tense confrontation with the Witches 5. However, Bugs Bunny was still standing strong amidst all of the theatrics and the shenanigans, just munching on a carrot as he turned to the audience and said, "What did I tell ya, folks? The Year of the Déjà Vu, anyone?"
Usagi noticed Bugs keeping a cool head as she walked up to the rabbit and said in amazement, "You know, Bugs, for all of this stuff the Witches 5 did to you guys and us, you seem to be keeping your cool in the face of danger."
"Eh, I didn't let those MonStars rattle me when they decided to show off, so what makes you think I would let the Witches 5 do the same thing to me?" Bugs said coolly as he munched on a carrot.
Daffy and the other Sailor Guardians walked up to Bugs and Usagi as Daffy said to Bugs, "Well, Bugs, it looks like the odds are stacked against us ... I think Viluy is right. We might as well pack our things and prepare for a long stay on Moron Mountain."
Bugs and the Sailor Guardians gasped at the black duck in astonishment as Setsuna knelt down to his level and said, "Daffy, are you crazy? If you decide to let your guard down for the Witches 5, Swackhammer is going to take advantage of you and your fellow Looney Tunes on Moron Mountain! If he was going to humiliate Michael Jordan 20 years earlier, who knows what he has in store for you guys this time around?"
"I can name quite a few things, but I don't think they would be appropriate for this fanfiction," Bugs said as he shuddered for a bit.
"Well, what else can we do?" Daffy said with a sad sigh. "Think about it: some of the NBA's biggest stars had their talent taken away from them by the Witches 5—similar to what the Nerdlucks did 20 years ago in order to become the Menacing MonStars—the Witches 5 have a lot more confidence instilled in themselves and we barely have a lot of characters who can genuinely play basketball."
"But, Daffy, you still have us on your side!" Minako said. "Besides, we are going to help you guys play against the Witches 5!"
"Yeah, Daffy, you don't have anything to worry about. After all, we're not going to let those witches come down here into your universe and push you guys around as if you were unable to defend yourselves!" Makoto said in a reassuring tone.
Slowly but surely, Daffy felt his confidence rise back up little-by-little as he said to the Sailor Guardians, with a hint of hope in his voice, "You mean ... you girls are going to help us play basketball against those evil witches from your universe?"
"Of course we will, Daffy, you know you can trust us," Usagi said with a genuine smile. "After all, in the name of the Jam, we have to slam!"
Daffy then felt himself getting back to his more confident self as he jumped up and said, "Excellent! So, Bugs, what plan did you have in mind that would help us defeat the Witches 5 and send them back where they came from?"
"Eh ... you know something, Daffy?" Bugs said as he coolly munched on a carrot. "If we really want to defeat the Witches 5 in this intergalactic basketball tournament, I think we might need a little bit of help."
"Understatement of the century, if I ever heard one," Rei said under her breath.
Author's Note: Just to clear things up before I continue, I am going to consider all of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters as "Looney Tunes characters". Although the Animaniacs and Tiny Toons cast are considered to be their own characters in their own right, I actually see them as "honorary Looney Tunes characters", so I hope that clears everything up for most of the story.
Sufferin' Succotash! We end this chapter on a cliffhanger! Following the dramatic introduction of the new-and-improved Witches 5, the girls have proven themselves to be the intergalactic basketball superstarlets they had hoped to become for the upcoming Ultimate Game! Seeing as how the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians feel grossly underpowered, things are looking bleak for the future of the Tunes and the Guardians ...
