It is I. Your friendly neighborhood Saucely Kazzy Carton! I know some of you were expecting a continuation of the last chapter. Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't continuing where the last chapter left off. Some of you might have been wondering what Plucky and Hamton were doing while Buster and Babs were treasure-hunting. So this chapter is going to be about Plucky and Hamton. Meaning this takes place at the EXACT SAME TIME as the last chapter. Just telling you so you won't be confused. Also, this chapter will feature the return of one of Plucky's most popular alter-egos. BATDUCK!
Chapter 7
Plucky slowly opened his eyes. His head was throbbing and it was hard to see. Once he shook the mental cobwebs out of his mind, he tried to piece together how he winded up here. He remembered the trip to Happy World Land which had gone bad and ended up with them getting captured by toon-loving Tribesmen. All he remembered before drawing a blank was the Tribe's leader launching a torpedo at them.
He tried getting up but then he discovered that the ground below him was strangely soft. He looked below him and saw that he was lying on Hamton, who was still asleep. Plucky got up and looked for his other two friends, only to find that they weren't there.
'I guess we got seperated during the explosion' Plucky thought, 'why couldn't we stay at home and play video games like most teens would during summer break?'
Plucky looked down at Hamton, who was muttering something about Burgers, Pizza, and Honey Buns in his sleep. Plucky shook Hamton. "Hey Hammy, it's time to wake up!"
Hamton was still sleeping.
"C'mon, Hambrain! It's time to wake up!" Plucky shouted a little louder this time.
Hamton was still sleeping.
"Last chance! Either wake up or I'll splash you with freezing cold water!" Plucky shouted.
Hamton was still sleeping.
"Have it your way" Plucky said. He took out a bucket of ice-cold water and dumped it on Hamton.
Hamton was still sleeping.
"Oh My Gosh! Wake up already!" Plucky screamed.
Hamton was still sleeping.
Plucky threw rocks at Hamton.
Hamton was still sleeping.
Plucky kicked and stomped on him.
He was still sleeping.
Plucky smacked him in the face with one of his comics.
He was still sleeping.
At last, Plucky got tired and sat down for a snack. As soon as the smell of Plucky's snacks reached the pig's nose, Hamton immediately woke up.
"What's going on?" Hamton asked.
"Hamton!" Plucky said,"you're finally awake!"
"Where are we? And when do we eat?" Hamton asked.
"I don't know. I saw the sign and it looks like we're just outside a city called Gotham City." Plucky said.
"Where are Buster and Babs?" Hamton asked.
"I think we got separated, so it's just the two of us hammy." Plucky said.
"How do we get to Happy World Land now?" Hamton asked.
"After all we've been through, you STILL want to go to Happy World Land? I just want to go home!" Plucky said.
"You won't be going anywhere, I'm afraid." a voice said, "Not until you complete a quest we need you to complete."
Both toons turned to see a man walking toward them.
"Who the heck are you?" Plucky asked.
"My name is John. We need you to handle something in Gotham. Only you can stop it." John said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Plucky said.
"The author, Saucely Kazzy Carton, paid me ten dollars to tell you this." John said.
"And what will the author do if I refuse your stupid quest?" Plucky asked.
"The author told me to tell you that if you don't accept this quest, he will throw your comic book collection in the incinerator." John said.
"NO! Not my comics!" Plucky shouted, "Alright, fine! I'll accept his stupid quest! What do we have to do?"
"Gotham City has been taken over by the evil invader Zog. If you vanquish him in combat, then your quest will be completed." John said.
"Alright. This will be a cinch. C'mon Hamton." Plucky said before walking to the city.
"Can we eat yet?" Hamton asked
XXXXXX
"C'mon Hamton! We have to complete this quest before the author throws my comics in the furnace" Plucky shouted as he and Hamton were running through the city of Gotham.
"Now, how do we find this Zog character in a city this big?!" Plucky wondered.
They were having a hard time finding Zog. Everytime, they mentioned his name, the people around them would shiver in fear. Or because of the cold. Or both.
"Plucky. Maybe if you just get a map, then you can find Zogs location" Hamton suggested.
"Not now Hamton, I'm trying to think." Plucky said, "Wait, I've got it! We should get a map! Then we can find Zogs location! Man, I'm good!"
After getting a map, and stopping for ice cream, Plucky and Hamton walked to the place on the map that said Zogs secret lair(don't ask me how the heck it's secret if it's marked on a public map).
Zog's secret lair turned out to be a dark and scary castle. The sign on the front said: 'An evil villain lives here'. The place had an Un-Welcome mat on the front porch. When Hamton walked to the doorbell and pushed it, the ring sounded like an evil laugh. Hamton turned the doorknob and saw that it was open.
"C'mon Plucky, the door is open." Hamton said.
"You go ahead, Hamton. I'll be way back here, where's it's safe." Plucky said.
Hamton shrugged his shoulders and went inside.
The minute Plucky saw Hamton go in the evil lair, he walked away.
"Guess I should head home and start preparing Hamton's funeral. And maybe find Buster and Babs while I'm at it." Plucky said.
Then the door opened and Hamton came out.
"Hey Plucky! It's not so bad in here! C'mon in!"
"Or maybe not" Plucky said.
Reluctantly, Plucky walked over to where Hamton was and walked inside with him.
Hamton and Plucky walked inside the dark and evil castle.
"Hurry Hamton! It's not too late! Let's get out of here before Zog finds out we're here!" Plucky said.
"Who dares invade Zog's domain!" A voice said.
Plucky screamed and tried to escape, but all the windows and doors were locked.
"There is no escape! No one leaves until either me or one of you is vanquished. One of you will have to fight me!"
"Did you say only one of us can fight you?" Plucky asked.
"Yes. Only one of you can fight me." Zog said.
"Well, if only one of us can fight you then...Good luck Hamton!" Plucky said.
Plucky pushed Hamton into the next room. The next thing Hamton knew, he was in a battle arena of some sort.
Hamton looked around and wondered where Zog was.
His question was soon answered as Zog descended from the air. Zog was a dark, shadowy, monster with fangs and claws. He had two legs and two feet like a human but everything else about him was monsterous.
Hamton gulped as he realized that he had to fight this monster. This was worse than that time when he had to fight Monty. Only there were no fake, rubber props to help him this time(See the TTA episode called Hero Hamton for more details).
Hamton looked at the walls and saw that there were weapons that he could use against the monster. Hamton picked up a laser sword and Zog had a sword of his own.
The two started to fight each other. Plucky watched the fight from the sidelines. Hamton and Zog were fighting and Hamton was losing. It didn't longer than 5 seconds for Zog to knock the sword out of Hamtons hand.
Zog knocked Hamton to the ground and swiped at him with his sword. Hamton dodged the sword and Zog missed his head by inches.
Plucky was sucking his thumb on the sidelines. Plucky's eyes widened when he saw how badly Hamton was losing. He had to help! But how?
"What am I gonna do? What would Damian Drake do? What would Duck Dodgers do? What would Batduck do? Hey, wait a minute! I am Batduck!" Plucky said.
Plucky spun around and transformed into his alter-ego: Batduck!
Then Batduck grabbed one of the jetpacks from the wall of weapons.
"Batduck to the rescue!" Batduck said.
Then the jetpack exploded. He grabbed another one.
"Batduck to the.."
Explode. He grabbed another jetpack.
"Bat...duck.."
Explode. He looked at the last jetpack.
"Bat.."
Explode.
XXXXX
Several more explosions later...
"AHA!" Batduck said, "It's you-know-who to the rescue! It helps if you don't say the name."
Meanwhile, Hamton was knocked into the wall. Zog was about to charge toward Hamton when Batduck flew in front of him.
"Why don't you tangle with me, instead?" Batduck said.
"Who are you?" Zog said.
"I'm Bat...err...I'm the Duck Knight" Batduck said, remembering what happens when you say his name around the jetpacks.
Zog, forgetting about Hamton, decided to go after Batduck. Batduck and Zog were fighting each other with their laser swords. Batduck was quite good. So good that he eventually knocked Zog into a wall.
"Wow! I guess all those sword fighting lessons weren't a waste of time after all" Batduck said.
Zog got up and picked up his sword and continued fighting with Batduck.
"I loathe you!"
"You love me?! EW!" Batduck said.
"I said loathe"
"Did not"
"Did too"
"No way"
"Yes way"
"You lie"
"You lie"
Batduck and Zog continued fighting when Zog knocked Batduck to the ground. The jetpack on Batduck's back flew into Zog's hand's.
"Any last words, Duck Knight?"
"Yes. BATDUCK!" Batduck said.
As soon as Batduck said his name, the jetpack in Zog's hands exploded. Zog was knocked back in the explosion. The force of the explosion made the wall colapse...on top of Zog!
After the wall colapsed, the rest of the building started to colapse as well. Batduck grabbed Hamton and ran outside the building.
XXXXX
Outside the building, Hamton was amazed.
"Wow, Plucky...I mean, Batduck. That was amazing!"
"I have my moments" Batduck said proudly.
"C'mon. Let's go find Buster and Babs so we can get to Happy World Land."
At that moment, a blinding light appeared in front of them and they had to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes, Buster and Babs were standing in front of them.
"Hey guys", Buster said, "You'll never believe the adventure we had on Wacky Land."
"You'll never believe the adventure we had here in Gotham City!" Hamton said.
"C'mon let's get out of here" Babs said.

Authors note: Was that awesome or what? Plucky really showed his heroic side in this chapter. I meant for Decoy to appear in this chapter as well but I couldn't find a way to squeeze him in. If you don't know who Batduck is, stop reading this right now and go to YouTube and look up the Tiny Toons episodes: Bat's all folks, The return of Batduck, and the Just-Us League of Supertoons.
PS: Thanks for the reviews, everybody. Especially ToonFan. The guy reviews my EVERY SINGLE DARN CHAPTER! I might even give him a Loyal Reviewers Award. You should take notes from this guy, people.
PSS: Who caught the Looney Tunes: Back in Action and Duck Dodgers quotes. ;)
PSSS: I'm still working on a TMNT fic so I can't guarantee how fast I update on this. Especially since TMNT is pre-planned, and this one isn't. :(
PSSSS: If you ever have to go through THIS much trouble to get to an Amusement Park, then trust me, it's not worth it. No matter how fun the park is. ;)
PSSSSS: See you next time. Saucely Kazzy Carton out.
