Chapter 9: Finale: The Big Bang
*Everyone is still shocked at the fake Yakko's true identity.*
Dot: So it is true… There's a fake Yakko among us.
Yakko: After five years being stuck in that abandoned animation studio, eating rats, I've been waiting for the day I would have revenge!
Skippy: Worthless Warner scum… I won't let you get in my way! This will be the end of you! I dreamed of this day that I'll be the biggest star on TV, and I won't let you spoil it for me!
Yakko: Earth to Skippy, you're a pawn for Kellner! He's the man who cancelled Animaniacs and stole the zaniness secrets of cartoons!
Skippy: So what? Everybody wants to be a cartoon. And that's all that matters to me now.
*Skippy takes out his Light Hammer, a light-saber hammer reminiscent of Star Warners. Yakko takes out his own, which is color green, while Skippy's color is red.*
Yakko: Of course you realize, this means Warners. Let's end this!
Skippy: Warners first.
*Yakko and Skippy clashed in epic Light Hammer combat with many clings, slashes, and parries. The duel lasted for one and a half minute.*
Brain: I can't believe it… Skippy has the power of two cartoons.
*While the duel intensifies, Dot orders the cameraman to keep on rolling the camera.*
Dot: Hey, this is getting better! And we're still live via satellite! Roll the camera!
*While the camera is still rolling, all the TV viewers are chanting and rooting for Yakko via satellite. At the last minute of the duel, Yakko blocked Skippy's grabbing techniques three times, and counterattacked with his left hand wearing a strong boxing glove.*
Yakko: Suckerpunch!
*Yakko punches Skippy in the chin up into the air, Skippy falling to the ground. After Skippy recovers, his teeth were broken, and he spits his bloodied and broken squirrel tooth from his mouth. Regardless of the injury, Skippy was smiling.*
Skippy: Still got it in you… Let's cut to the chase. (screams) IT'S TIME FOR THE BIG GUNS!
Slappy: I never knew Skippy can say such epic one-liners.
Skippy: That's right, Aunt Slappy! If all else fails, I'll destroy everything and everyone.
*Skippy takes out his bomb detonator. Everyone is shocked at this.*
Slappy: I've set bombs all over the studio and the city, fully-armed and ready to blow. Oh, yes… the show will be a big hit, and it'll "literally" go out not with a whimper, but with a BANG!
Yakko: You wouldn't…!
*Skippy presses the detonator button. Then it happened. Bombs exploded all over Burbank, creating massive collateral damage. Explosions flied everywhere, setting the town square on fire. Many Animaniacs were injured, but Yakko, Wakko, Dot, Slappy, the injured Rita (Wakko shielded her from the blast) and the cameraman with the camera that feeds the satellite viewing are still standing. The explosions still continued to rampage, and Yakko sees Skippy escaping.*
Yakko: Slappy, get Rita outta here. I'm going after him. Go! Go now!
*Slappy nods, lifts the broken Rita at her back, and ran away.*
Yakko: I'm going to settle things with Skippy once and for all. I'll pay him back for what he did. Watch my back and keep the camera rolling, sibs. The fans wanna see what's happening next!
Wakko and Dot: Okay!
*Yakko runs after the fleeing Skippy who disappeared into the fire, while Wakko and Dot followed him and has the cameraman hold the satellite-viewing camera. The TV viewers are cheering and chanting for the Warners as they chase Skippy. As the bombs continue to explode all over Burbank, Yakko finds Skippy hiding in a fast-food restaurant, who threw a pie on Yakko's face. This pie-throwing excites the costumers to say…*
Costumers: FOOD FIGHT!
*In the middle of the food fight, the battle between Yakko and Skippy rages on. They drew their Light Hammers and clashed intensely in the second round, even going so far as to use food as projectiles. While Yakko and Skippy are fighting, Buttons appears from the kitchen's door and seized a knife, ready for the opportunity to kill Yakko.*
Buttons: I got you n-
*However, Buttons was hit in the back by a sleeping dart, leaving him to fall into unconsciousness. The sleeping dart was shot by none other than Mindy, who betrayed Skippy and chose to help Yakko and his friends.*
Mindy: (angry) Silly puppy.
*While Yakko is struggling with Skippy, he smiled at Mindy for helping him. Mindy smiled back. That distracted has Skippy punch Yakko in the chest, stunning him and allowing Skippy to escape out of the restaurant. Mindy urges Yakko to chase him.*
Mindy: Go! Get him!
*Yakko nods, and runs after Skippy once more. In the final moments of the chase, he confronts Skippy near the entrance of a cathedral, with the city of Burbank set ablaze because of the bombs.*
Yakko: This ends now, walnut for brains! Unless, of course, you're not smart enough to store nuts for the winter?
Slappy: Oh, we'll see who's the "smarter" one…
*Yakko and Skippy have their Light Hammers at the ready and clashed in their final round that intensified. The more fight it has, the excited the TV viewers are. In the round's final moments, Yakko left him off guard and stroke him down with his punching glove uppercut.*
Yakko: SHORYUKEN!
*The Dragon Punch was so powerful; it had both Yakko and Skippy flying to the rooftop of the cathedral, where the final showdown takes place. The two rivals resumed their Light Hammer duel. In the battle's final moments, Skippy left Yakko wide open and forced his Light Hammer out of his hand, leaving Skippy to smack Yakko at the head with the Light Hammer, extremely smashing his head and making Yakko dizzy.*
Yakko: Ooooohhh…
Skippy: Gotcha!
*Skippy smashed Yakko many times with his Light Hammer swings, injuring him. In the final strike, Yakko drove him to the gargoyle statue of the church. Yakko holds on for dear life on the gargoyle statue as he is close to falling down deep into the fire, similar to the ending of The Hunchback of Norte Dame. The TV viewers watching the footage are shocked that Yakko is in danger. Skippy then maniacally laughs.*
Skippy: It's over now… Face it already, Yakko. You days as a cartoon star are coming to an end.
Yakko: Aren't you gonna say Judge Frollo's famous lines where you smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit? I expected more from you, Skippy. You're not a real cartoon. You're a coward!
Skippy: (smiles) I feel like a different person since becoming something I'm not! I'm free to be what I want to be!
*Skippy spins his Light Hammer like Thor's hammer Mjolnir and prepares to finish off Yakko. Yakko is scared.*
Skippy: I'm truly happy in the first time in years.
*When Wakko and Dot arrived at the cathedral's entrance, they are shocked to see that their brother is in trouble. They rushed to the cathedral to save him. The cameraman is still rolling. The TV viewers are still shocked. Meanwhile, Skippy is still spinning his Light Hammer faster, and approaches closer to Yakko in a rageful expression.*
Skippy: You Animaniacs were always the big stars, while I was the little boy blue who buried his emotions in eating baby walnuts! I deserve to be a greater toon than any of you! No one gave me the chance since you came along!
*Skippy stops spinning his Light Hammer and goes in for the kill.*
Skippy: Now, you're gonna pay!
*Skippy's final blow was interrupted when…*
Wakko: Hey, Skippy!
*Skippy is surprised to see Wakko and Dot appearing on top of the cathedral.*
Dot: Now, Wakko!
*Wakko drinks his new bottle of Elixir, gathering enough energy to begin his massive super burp. His holds his breath with his cheeks inflating. Then it happened.*
Wakko: BUUUUUURRRRRPPPPPP!
*The massive burp attack was so huge, that it echoed throughout Burbank. The resulting force of the burp automatically and magically puts out all the flames engulfing Burbank. Skippy was affected by the burp's loud noise, that to him, the smell of the burp tastes like green spinach. And he uttered his famous disgust word…*
Skippy: Spew…!
*While Skippy was distracted, Yakko regained his strength and jumped to his siblings, joining his siblings side-by-side.*
Skippy: Get this… stench… off of me…
Yakko: (determined) Here's the most important rule in cartoons, Skippy; never underestimate the will of an Animaniac!
*Yakko gathers energy from his fists to create a powerful vacuum energy. He is ready to unleash his final blow.*
Yakko: SHINKU… YAKKOKEN!
*Yakko fires the energy blast from his hands and immediately overpowers Skippy, destroying him and sending him flying up in the air and falling to the ground a hundred feet high from the roof of the cathedral.*
Skippy: CURSE YOU, WARNER SCUM!
*As Skippy screams while falling down harder, he crashed into the ground with a big noise. At the sight of this victory, the three Warner siblings smile.*
Yakko: And that's a wrap!
*The three Warner siblings laughed and smiled together, and embraced each other in a family-heartfelt embrace with the camera presenting the satellite feed still fixed upon them by the cameraman.*
Yakko and Wakko: The Warner Brothers…
Dot: …and the Warner Sister…
Warners: …are back together again! REUNITE!
*The TV viewers from all over the world cheered uproariously for the conclusion of what seemed to be the best Animaniacs episode yet. Jamie Kellner, however, was not happy, and as he watched the Warners emerged victorious in the TV, he faints into unconsciousness out of disbelief, proving his lunatic scheme to kill the Animaniacs an utter failure. Meanwhile, Slappy, Mindy, and a still-broken but conscious Rita came to join the celebration. The sun shines brighter at the sight of victory.*
Yakko: (to the TV viewers) That's all folks! Good night, everybody! I hope you all enjoyed the revival of Animaniacs. It's the era of cartoons reborn to the max!
Mindy: (laughs delightfully) You did it, Warners! What a great show!
Slappy: Now that's comedy! And all the cheers from the viewers all over the world according to satellite feed proved it. For the first time in years, Animaniacs is back for real, and we've never been better.
Wakko: Yeah, we did it! We're stars again! I feel five years younger!
Dot: (laughs) And I feel cute again! It's good to be back!
Rita: (carried at Slappy's back) You did good, guys. You did good. And I hope I won't get another bone-breaking beating on next week's episode.
Yakko: Yep!
Wakko: You bet!
Dot: Sure!
Slappy: Yeah, yeah… But Burbank's all wrecked up. Why don't we try shooting at another location next time?
*The Warners just smiled.*
