Disclaimer: I do not own Tiny Toons or Looney Tunes, or any of their characters
A/N: I had to quickly re-read the pervious chapters, to check if there was anything I was forgetting. Apparently I was, and there was a detail that would help greatly in getting the others out of their prison.
For a list of the villagers and the elders, use the one on the previous chapter.
---------------------
Last time:
Haylyn chuckled briefly, before stating, "Tis no problem then, I do have one question."
"What is it?"
"You are an entertainer, yes? Or as Babs called it, 'act-tor'?" Haylyn asked
"Yes, but when did she tell you...?" Buster asked, before Haylyn interrupted
"She has told me when we were collecting food." Haylyn replied, "We find much time in the day."
"Ok, but what does that have to do with the plan?" Buster asked as he used an ear to scratch the top of his head
"We shall use this skill to our advantage. Listen closely." Haylyn stated as she grabbed Buster by an ear and began whispering her plan to him.
--------------------------------
Ending the fighting
While Haylyn and Buster prepared for another strike, Splicer was finishing up with his task. He had just drawn blood from Plucky, and as he added Plucky's DNA to the mixture, the wings of the creature just changed so now they appeared to be more mature and fully capable of lifting it's owner. By this time, the creature, a winged ocelot, had changed significantly from it's previous appearance. It was now a dark purple color, with a few markings that wouldn't even be part of an ocelot, and a slightly longer snout by half an inch; and of course a much more developed look, as the wings matured and the previously bare spots were now covered by fur.
"So what now, doc?" Plucky asked, "Is this the part you sic that thing on us?"
"Not yet, it has to stabilize." Splicer replied, "Well I better get going, I don't think it'll be long until your friends show up again."
"You won't win this, I'm sure they'll find a way." Babs stated
"And just like a serpent, I'm ready anytime." Splicer stated just as he left with Gossamer behind him.
------------
Buster and Haylyn were just outside of the cave, they had managed to run to the village and get some extra supplies the others will need if they'll need to fight. Cooper had tried to be useful by flying around the island, attracting as many of Splicers Doberman soldiers as possible, even to a point not one was guarding the entrance of the cave, even those that tried to act as a guard were called in for help.
"Cooper sure is good at what he does." Buster stated, "He's caused enough trouble to even get the guards gone."
"Cooper is clumsy at times, but in the air, he is most reliable." Haylyn stated
As Buster put on some red face paint on his cheeks, he asked, "Are you sure that this plan is going to work? Splicer knows were actors, he might not fall for it."
"We will have to try the best we both are capable. If we fail, then...we can only pray the elders shall fair better."
"Let's hope so." Buster said as he and Haylyn ran out of their hiding place and ran into the cave carrying their arrows in a quiver and bow on their backs, and a spear in one hand.
The fight into the inner recesses of the cave were fairly easy, Haylyn was the first to start using her bow and arrow. Because of the well built armor the dogs wore, it was more of a wiser move to get the arrows to pin them to the walls. (Also since having the dogs die would mean I'd have to raise the rating of this story) Same method as pinning the dogs down with a spear, by pinning their armor. The sounds and fighting was eventually heard all the way to the area where Splicer was doing his experiment and where the others were being kept.
"It would appear that those two have returned." Splicer stated as he smiled widely
"We told you they'd come for us." Babs stated
"Yes, but the fight has yet to start." Splicer said as he commanded a large number of dogs that were actually there to go into the next room, while another group followed Splicer to another room to get the other dogs back.
"We got to escape, Buster and Haylyn are in great danger when they arrive." Piper stated
"But I don't think we can break these bars." Babs stated
"It matters not, we must try." Leo stated as he used his foot in attempt to kick the cage door open.
"Moi ez tired of sitting around anyway." Fifi stated as she started doing the same
"Like, hold on for a minute, I'll try something." Shirley stated, as she stuck her arm out of the space between two bars and everyone stopped trying to strike their cage doors open.
As Shirley's arm began glowing in a bright, blue color, a large piece of equipment that was probably used to carry the tube that has the creature in it into the cave began to groan heavily
"What is Shirley doing?" Leo asked, rather surprised since he has never seen even Shirl do this.
"She's using her telekinetics to move that thing over there." Plucky replied
"But....but how?!" Tex asked
"What powers of the spirits allow you to do this?" Shill asked
"It's, like, a gift that comes with the telepathic powers. You know, like, an add-on to the mind reading or some junk." Shirley replied
Shirley put as much focus into moving the object as possible, but found it to be too hard, "Like, it's no use, I don't have enough strength to move it." Shirley stated in defeat
"Hey, don't give up now. Shirl you got to try, I know you have the strength to do it." Plucky said as he turned her around and held her shoulders
"But, like, even my powers have their limits." Shirley stated
"Yes, but I don't think you've hit it just yet." Plucky argued, "Look, I know you better than anyone else here and the only one who has witnessed more times than they can count just how strong your powers are. So don't go telling me you can't do it, cause I know you can."
Shirley just simply smiled, and said, "Thanks, Plucky" and then hugged him
"Like, you're right, I got to try." Shirley stated as she tried again
As similar to last time the piece of equipment began to groan, but this time started moving slowly.
"Like it's no use, even if my powers are strong enough, it's too far for me to pull in fast enough." Shirley complained
"Shirley, if I may, let me try. If we are indeed similar maybe I can help." Shill stated as she stuck her arm out and tried focusing on the object. After about a minute of focusing, Shill's eyes started to glow, followed by her arm, and soon the object was completely off the ground by two inches and moving towards them.
"Alright, like, put it down right there, Shill." Shirley stated as she and Shill slowly put it down gently
"So, in what use will this be to us?" Shill asked
"Like, to destroy the bars of our cage. Just watch." Shirley stated as she backed up by two steps, "Like, you better step back, or some junk, Plucky."
Plucky simply backed up until his back was touching the back of their cage, as Shirley used her powers again to pick up the object off the ground. Then using her powers, she used the piece of equipment like a wrecking-ball and began slamming it against the cage bars.
After a few hits, the bars began to bend and look like as if they were going to break soon. About this time Buster and Haylyn made into the area.
"Hey, what are you doing there, Shirl?" Buster asked
"Buster! Haylyn!" Everyone said in unison as Shirley put the piece of equipment down.
"Mom!" Robin, who woke up from his sleep from Shirley bashing the cage, yelled out, "Mom, where am I? I'm scared."
"Just stay calm Robin, you'll be safe soon." Haylyn stated
"Be strong, son, we shall tell you about the occurrences soon. For now, be calm." Leo stated
"Yes, father, I-I-I'll stay strong, like a warrior." Robin stated in a shaky voice, as he tried to sound strong.
"Are you guys alright?" Buster asked as he tried to open a cage with the spear as a crowbar
"Yes, we're alright." Babs stated
As soon as she replied, a door opened and about thirty of Splicer's dog warriors ran out, took a position, and aimed their weapons at Buster and Haylyn. Then another door opened followed by another group of dogs doing the same and Splicer walking behind them with a wide grin.
"Welcome back, your just in time to join the party, before I let that loose." Splicer stated and raised a hand to show them is creature project
"What on...earth?!" Buster stated as he looked at sleeping creature
"Its development is almost complete, and when it is, we'll see how you handle it."
"Then we shall destroy it." Haylyn stated as she glared at the man who imprisoned her husband and son
"I dare ya to try." Splicer stated, "Dogs, seize them!"
At that moment, all the dogs who had a clean shot at the two rabbits fired a net at them. Just as the net was about to wrap around them, Haylyn and Buster pulled out a sword from behind them and cut the nets clean in half.
"I see, you've picked up some new toys. That's okay, so have we." Splicer said as another set of dogs shot off a weapon that shot some kind of electric darts, ACME brand. The darts missed Buster and Haylyn by an inch from both their feet, "Like them?...They're darts designed to stun opponents."
"Learn to aim." Buster stated when he recovered from the fact he and Haylyn was almost hit
Buster and Haylyn sheathed their swords and charged at the group of dogs. Buster managed to jump up into the air and began running using several dogs as stepping areas. Haylyn managed to use her spear as a pole-vault and went over the dogs slightly landing on the commanding dog, knocking him down, before jumping to join Buster behind the group.
"Get them!" the commander dog shouted as all the dogs began shooting randomly to hit Buster or Haylyn, and Splicer and Gossamer went over to the side to avoid being part of the action.
Buster was the first to land a hit as he ran his spear through the shoulder armor of two dogs and pinned them to the wall of the cave. One of the dogs was next as an electric dart just barely tore through the sleeve of Buster's shirt.
"I shall make you pay for what you have done to my family." Haylyn stated as she managed to grab her spear again, and began using it like a staff to strike dogs on the head and any part of the body they unfortunately didn't have covered.
Sometime during the fight, Shirley continued with what she was doing earlier to destroy the bars of her cage/jail cell. Due to the rather wreckless style the dogs did to capture Buster and Haylyn, they unfortunately also hit some of their own, resulting in some of them getting netted or stunned. Several times Buster and Haylyn were hit by a net, but got out once the other cut them out or they cut themselves out. Buster solely was the one hit by darts, but only slowed him down for a short time each time he was hit. Apparently he had gained a slight immunity from being stunned for minutes due to his failed shenanigans at the Loonaversity or whenever Babs gave him an electrifying kiss.
-------
A/N: If anyone here has ever seen the first episode of Tiny Toons, ya know how electrifying Babs's kisses can be at times, and I do mean that quite literally.
-------
Splicer and Gossamer did make some effort to try stopping Shirley from destroying the bars, but seeing she was swinging it in the air and it was a heavy piece of machinery, they hesitated.
"How do they keep coming? Anyone we haven't hit yet, are being hit by their own comrades." Buster stated to Haylyn
"This Splicer has come prepared." Haylyn replied as she uppercut a dog
"This isn't good, at this rate we'll never get everyone out before our help arrives." Buster stated as he and Haylyn were forced to go back-to-back as they fought off the Dobermans that still attempted to fight them.
"It is now or never, we must try my plan." Haylyn stated
"But don't we have to wait?"
"Yes, we must wait till..." Haylyn was saying before the commanding dog grabbed her with his whip and began flinging her around, bashing her against the ground multiple times, as she screamed
"HAYLYN!!!" Leo yelled out in fear
Shirley just had a bit more to go before the bars finally gave way and she and Plucky were free to help or help free the others, but before that moment, the commanding dog finally let Haylyn go as he threw her at Buster. As the two of them rolled until they hit a table that stood close to the other's cages. How they landed was that Buster was sitting on his tail, and Haylyn was sitting next to him, both facing the dog army.
"Give it up, you can't win." Splicer stated
"Tis no good, Splicer has more warriors than we do with the entire village." Haylyn stated in fear to Buster
"At least we tried, right?" Buster said with a forced smile as he looked at Haylyn
"Yes, we have given it all we could possess." Haylyn stated as she looked at Buster
The others stared at disbelief as Buster and Haylyn actually kissed each other on the lips, Shirley even ceased her action and froze as she dropped the machine with a loud boom. Splicer and all his hounds just simply went wide-eyed at the display of affection, but out of all of them no one was as taken back or surprised as Leo, Babs, or Gossamer. Babs and Leo for obvious reasons, but Gossamer was surprised, because he knew that Buster and Babs were engaged, as he did see the engagement ring on Babs's finger the previous night.
"T-t-they can't b...be doing what I think they're doing, are they?" Hamton asked to no one in particular
"I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it." Plucky replied
As Buster and Haylyn finally pulled away from each other, they both looked longingly into each other's eyes, as Buster said, "I'm glad I met you Haylyn."
"As do I, Buster." Haylyn said back
"BUSTER BUNNY!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!" Babs yelled out in anger as she recovered from the initial shock.
"Buster, you are a DEMON. An evil demon!" Leo shouted, "Haylyn you must not let him possess you! Fight it, I'm you're husband." he added as he looked at his wife rather hurt, but then glared with piercing eyes at Buster.
"Buster! Come to your senses! What is with you! It's me Babs Bunny, the one rabbit you asked to marry." Babs said, as her voice showed a clear sign of pain and depression.
As Buster and Haylyn quickly gave each other a peck on the lips, Babs thought to herself as she glared at Haylyn and foamed at the mouth, "When I get out of here, I'm going to kill that no good man stealer."
"Buster, I declare, upon my honor, I shall make your death slow and PAINFUL!!!" Leo yelled
"Hey! Stay off him! Buster is pure of heart, there is no way this is his fault!" Babs shouted at Leo
"Are you suggesting, this betrayal of our lovers is Haylyn's fault?! Haylyn would never, it is Buster who has done wrong. And if you side with him, then you must be a demon as well." Leo argued
"Vous two, vill vous stop bickering. Fightin' each ozair vill solve not'ing." Fifi stated
"Tell him, to SHUT UP about Buster." Babs shouted
"If you wish to fight, I shall take you up on that challenge." Leo stated
"Come on, I ain't stoppin' ya." Babs stated, "And after I'm done with you I'm going to strangle your so called wife!"
"Leo!" Piper shouted in a strict voice
"Babs! Both of vous STOP!" Fifi shouted
"I...um...I'm going over there, away from this." Splicer stated, rather puzzled but sure he doesn't want to get wrapped up in this drama
"Hold the door doc." Gossamer stated as he followed suit
Even the Dobermans didn't want to be caught up into this fight and slowly followed after their master and Gossamer. Haylyn and Buster just watched with great interest, as they watched the last of Splicer's dog army disappear in a doorway before the door finally closed behind them.
One last time Buster and Haylyn looked at each other with wide grins on their faces, then broke out into a hearty laugh, as Haylyn fell onto the floor with her arms wrapped around her stomach and Buster leaned up against the table's side with a hand over his eye. Everyone looked at the two is complete bewilderment, with the exception of Shirley and Shill, who simply joined in the laughter.
"That has worked better than I had predicted!" Haylyn stated
"I can't believe he fell for it!" Buster stated, "Like I said, even he knew about our jobs as actors."
"Haylyn....what do you find so funny?" Piper asked
"Yeah, what is going on?" Plucky asked, "Why did you two kiss?"
"And why have you betrayed your lovers?" Tex asked, rather curious
"We did not betray Leo and Babs." Haylyn said as she stood up
"Yeah, it was just a ploy to get Splicer and the dog brigade out of the room." Buster added as he too stood up
"What?" Leo and Babs asked in unison, still curious
"After we got back, Haylyn cooked up a plan to make our jobs easier and get you guys out." Buster started
"We have taken advantage of your jobs, Babs, an actor if I am right." Haylyn stated
"Act-tor?" Leo repeated as he looked at Haylyn
"An actor is an entertainer, dear." Haylyn explained
"And you guys did an excellent job playing along, how's that for a big gig." Buster stated, "But I see that Shirley and Shill knew."
"Like, what do you expect? We're, like, telepaths, or some junk." Shirley stated and Shill just nodded in agreement with that statement.
"But we're actually surprised at Leo and Babs." Buster stated
"Us?!" Leo and Babs said in unison, surprised to hear Buster say that.
"Yes." Buster replied, "Babs, you said it yourself, I'm your fiancée, and I'm the one who asked for your hand in marriage."
"And, I am your wife, Leo. We spent our lives together as young, and we promised by the spirits we will be together till death." Haylyn stated
"So why would you believe we would betray you?" Buster and Haylyn asked in unison to their lovers
Babs and Leo were taken back, Babs was scratching the back of her head and Leo was simply rubbing his upper arm.
"I can't believe I fell for that so easily, and I'm suppose to be the better actor." Babs stated
"A warrior that has fallen into his own wife's trap. Such an embarrassing time." Leo stated
"So does that mean, you're not going to give me a slow, painful death?" Buster asked Leo
"And you're not going to strangle me, Babs?" Haylyn asked
"I do not see a reason to." Leo stated still rather embarrassed
As Buster and Haylyn went on with the task of freeing their friends, John (Piper's husband) said, "Quite a trap you have played. It has really tricked the entire village."
"Thanks, but it was all in the planning." Buster stated.
Buster and Haylyn soon got everyone out with a pair of keys that had fallen off one of dogs during the fight, they figured that they didn't notice because of the scene they put up to make them leave the room.
"Robin, it is good to see you are unharmed!" Haylyn stated, not wasting time to hold her son in a motherly embrace
"As to you two as well." John stated to his and Piper's two children, Sheila and Michael, and picked them both up in his arms.
"I hope that man didn't hurt you two." Piper stated
"We are okay, mom." Sheila stated
"As much I hate to ruin your family reunions, we got to get out of here. Splicer might realize it was a trick and come back." Buster said as he headed towards the exit.
"Buster is right, we can not waste our time. Let's go." Leo stated as everyone agreed and followed close behind
Just before they could get to the door and make a run for it, a group of dogs that were chasing Cooper and had gotten the call to come back had returned.
"I forgot about those dogs." Buster stated
"Hold it right there, you're not going anywhere." a dog stated
"We're leaving, and we're not going to let you stand in our way." Piper shouted as she marched herself up to the front of the group and up to a dog's face
"And what if we say 'no' to that?"
"I'll do...this." Piper replied and kicked one down and skunked at a portion of the others forcing them to faint, and it created like a fog to blind some others, "Buster! Haylyn! Hurry, give your swords."
"Right." Buster and Haylyn replied as they simultaneously threw the swords towards her with the sheaths still on them.
In one quick movement, Piper took both swords out of their sheaths and began viciously swinging at the group of dogs. Only once the cloud of dust and skunk spray cleared, that the sword slashed became apparent, the dogs were heavily armored so they didn't get hurt; but the slashes made quick work of their armor as the leather straps that held their armor to their body were cut and some even had their armor cut clean in half. The dogs looked down in complete shock as their armor fell off leaving them without any defenses.
"Still refuse to let us by?" Piper asked as held a position ready to give them more.
The dogs, though being loyal as they are, simply answered by firing their net guns at the bunch. All of them managed to get away as other prepared to fight.
"Fighters, take up what is usable and prepare to fight." Leo ordered as he and others that normally were the village's fighters took what could be considered a weapon and stood ready.
The village fighters were basically the same as the hunters, it consisted of Leo, Piper, John, and Hopi. They would've had Cooper as part of the group, but he was obviously outside.
As the four began fighting off a group of dogs, Tex found a dart gun and began shooting at several dogs, the other fought with hand-to-hand, and Shirley and Shill tried getting the village's children out of danger. Shirley and Shill at times having to shoot off some lightning to accomplish their goal.
"Ya, know this is starting to get on my nerves, we're actors for crying out loud not fighters." Babs complained
"What do you call it when we had to fight off the badies during the show then?" Buster asked as he and Babs managed to get a few into the cages, caging them in.
"I call it good acting." Babs replied, "DUCK!" as she pulled Buster down just in time to avoid a net
"Thanks, I owe ya."
"No prob, just buy me a carrot cake when we get back, and I'll call it even."
"Come on now, 'amton, teamvork." Fifi stated as and Hamton worked together to try mirroring their village equals.
A dog managed to grab Hamton and threw him like a rag doll across the room. Fifi simply cursed and insulted the dog in French, and with clear anger in her voice as she uppercut the dog into the air and kicked him in the gut while he was in mid-air.
Running over to Hamton, who apparently fine, she said, "'amton, are vous okay?"
"Yes, I'm q-q-quite fine, just slightly..." he got out before Fifi interrupted him with a hug
"Moi is so glad vous are okay."
"Same here, Fifi."
"Curse this strange contraption, it has stopped working." Tex complained as the gun he found stopped working and shot blanks, as he just barely avoided some of the dogs' whips and took cover in a hiding place close to Hamton and Fifi.
"Vhat is wrong?" Fifi asked
"It is this contraption, it must have broken." Tex repeated in reply, and proved it by trying to shoot.
"It's not broken..." Hamton said simply
"Oui, et moost be out of ammo." Fifi finished
"Where can I find more ammo for this?" Tex asked
"I zon't know. Here, let's check un desk." Fifi replied, before the three ran over to check a desk for more darts.
Hopi managed to steal a whip from one of the dogs that Leo knocked out and used it by wrapping it around one and using it as a wrecking ball.
"There is only a few more, Leo. This shall be done in no time." Hopi stated happily, but frowned as a door opened and Splicer came back into the room with the dogs that followed him
"What is going on, here?" Splicer asked as one dog collapsed in front of him
"We caught them escaping sir."
"I've been tricked! Get them!" Splicer stated angrily and ordered them to help reinforce the other dogs.
The dogs prepped their weapons, but before any could get a shot out, some were getting hit by electric darts. Fifi, Hamton, and Tex found some spare ammo and even another dart gun to boot.
"We got to get out of here. There's no way we can fight them all off." Buster stated as he and Babs ran over to Leo and Haylyn.
Me: "Buster, go out to the beach."
"What? Why the beach?"
Me: "The elders are there, just get out and to the beach."
"Right, Leo you got that?"
"Yes, quite clearly." Leo replied, "Everyone retreat to the shores!" Leo shouted loudly to the others
As everyone made their way out of the cave, or made sure everyone else got the message to get out, Leo, Piper, Buster, and Fifi tried their best to hold the dogs off till everyone was out
"Babs follow the others, I'll be fine." Buster ordered
"Buster, we got separated once already, I'm not going to let that happen again." Babs argued
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, and this time I won't fake a ploy when we see other again." Buster said with a slight chuckle.
"You had better." Babs stated with a smile herself, and kissed Buster before running out to follow the others.
"Leo, is that everyone?" Buster shouted
"Yes, come we must go as well." Leo replied
"Alright, come on."
"Zon't worry about us." Fifi said as she quickly reloaded her dart gun.
"We have the weapons at the moment, we'll cover your tail." Piper stated as she slashed two nets in half.
"We trust you with our safety." Leo stated as he and Buster ran out, followed by Fifi and Piper as they followed close behind, Fifi at times having to shoot a few darts and Piper slashing any oncoming nets.
As they ran out of the cave, they saw Cooper flying around and lead them in the direction of the elders. Now using the surrounding area as cover, darts and nets now hit trees, rocks, and bushes. Splicer and the dog army close behind, their weapons ready to fire at anytime, they followed as best they can, until they got to the beach. The villagers stood there along side the elders, several elders manning what appears to be a wooden cannon. As soon as the dogs came into view, Xavier gave the order and each cannon shot off a coconut at the dogs.
"Skylar, Lanmana, hurry while we reload." Xavier ordered
"Right away." Skylar replied as he and his wife prepped to fire arrows at the group. Several pinned the some dogs to trees and others the surrounding area
Omusa, Daffy's look-a-like, did try to help, but as the meaning of his name suggests, he's a terrible shot.
"Elder Xavier, the leader is the man in white." Leo stated
"Right, Leo. Everyone aim at that man." Xavier ordered as he pointed a finger at Splicer and then he and the other elders shot off several rounds at Splicer, knocking him out.
Several of the dogs did try to fight and hit some elders with the stun darts.
"Their weapons are rather advance." Kaliska stated, "We may not win this fight."
"We need a new edge. We need something from our world." Plucky suggested
"But how, we hardly have the equipment to do that." Buster asked
"Perhaps, the writer may be of assistance." Blake suggested
"I don't know...it may not be a good idea. Asking the author to turn the tide of a battle for our advantage, seems wrong to do in a story." Buster stated
Me: "No that won't be too fair, I may have author powers, but I can't help in battle."
"That shoots that option." Plucky complained.
Me: "I'll give ya a hint though, ask Tex."
"Tex? What can he do to help us?" Plucky asked
Once another elder fell to another dart, Buster said, "I don't know,...but maybe Tex does. I was told he collected stuff didn't he?"
"Yeah, I remember being told that." Babs rang in
No sooner had she said that, that Tex made ran up to them panting hard.
"Tex, you okay? Where did you come from?" Buster asked
"Yes, I'm fine." Tex replied, "I heard what the writer has told you, I may be able to be of some aid. So ran to my hut and retrieved this." he added as she showed them a...gun
"Geez, it's a gun! Where did you get that?" Plucky asked
"I found it several weeks ago on the beach. It looks to be the same as Splicer's weapon, so I figured it must be one as well." Tex replied
"But the story's rating isn't high enough for us to use one." Buster complained
"But there's one right here." Plucky exclaimed
"Maybe, it's fine." Babs replied, as the cannons gave off yet another "BOOM!" and shot off several more coconuts
"Hmm....I think I got it." Buster replied, as an idea struck him, "How many bullets is there?"
Babs grabbed it to check and found only one bullet, "Only one, Buster, but you can't honestly be thinking of that. You'll be a killer!"
"I'm not going to hit anybody with it." Buster replied as he took the gun, "Leo, can you cover for me?"
"It shall be an honor to." Leo replied as the two of them ran out till they were between the dogs and the villager's armies
"I just need a clean shot." Buster said
"Careful!" Leo shouted as he threw himself in front of a net meant for Buster.
"Leo, you alright?" Buster asked
"Yes, hurry with what you wish to do."
Buster simply nodded and took aim, as soon as he saw a dog who was aiming at him, he shot the bullet as the gun gave a ear-shattering blast and it struck the dog's stun gun. As the dog looked dumbstruck at his weapon, it short-circuited and broke as it shocked him, and it struck the dog next to that one, also short-circuiting that one's gun causing it to break. Soon all the dogs were shocked because their guns attracted the electric shock and broke, shocking the entire army including Gossamer, whose hair stood on end.
With that, everyone cheered, as Babs ran up and hugged Buster.
"You did it!" she cheered
"But how did you know, that'd work?" Plucky asked as he walked up to them
"I didn't. I just figured it'd work since that it is a common occurrence with WB, one thing leading to a whole catastrophe." Buster replied
"Such an impressive weapon, tell me what is that called?" Kaliska asked as he and several other elders approached them.
"It's called a gun, and it's from where me and my friends are from." Buster replied as Piper was cutting Leo free from the net.
"May I have it? I wish to observe it's design." Kaliska stated as he put his hand out
"I don't mean to be rude, but I think you may have to ask Tex." Buster replied
"Me?" Tex asked, rather curious as to why
"You did find it, so it technically is yours." Buster replied as he gave the weapon back to Tex
"Yes, that is quite sensible. So Tex may I have such object?" Kaliska asked the coyote
"Yes, elder, it may be of better use to you than I in many ways." Tex replied as he gave it to him
"I have a better idea. Would you like to come to the elder village? Two minds working on such a puzzle will prove better." Kaliska stated, and Tex agreed happily
"Should we have the other elders in mind, they are still injured." Hastiin stated
"They'll be fine, the darts were just stunning weapons, they'll be on their feet in a few minutes." Buster replied
"Uh...my head." Gossamer stated as he got back up.
"The monster has risen! Hurry we might fight it!" Leo shouted as he, Piper, and John prepped to fight him
"WHOA!....Hey! I don't want to fight. You won, I lost, no point dragging it out any longer." Gossamer stated
"So you don't want to fight?" Plucky asked
"Nah, there's no point in it. I'll lose any way I see it."
"Good to hear it, but I doubt the dog brigade and Splicer is going to be the same when they wake up." Buster stated
"Right....., we can just put them back on the ship. I know where it landed, and it's still in good shape."
"Alright, sounds like a plan." Buster stated
For the next couple hours the islanders, the gang, and Gossamer busied themselves gathering the unconscious forms of the dogs and Splicer back to the ship. Some did show signs of coming to, but were just false alarms. As the last of the dogs were thrown into the wreck of a ship, all the villagers stood as spectators.
"Okay, that's all of them." Gossamer stated as he slammed a metal door shut
"Yes, but they are still on the island. They are still a threat." Leo pointed out
"We need to get them off the island." Piper stated
"We can just catapult them off the island. These trees look like they can do just that." Plucky stated
"Good idea, but how? We need to bend them to the ground to do just that?" Buster asked
"Perhaps, my husband may be of some help. He is quite strong." Piper stated looking at John who was currently busy looking at the trees.
"Maybe, but that'll take some time." John replied
"I can help, I'm strong." Gossamer stated, "But I'll need rope."
"Tis not a problem, I have some rope at mine and Leo's home." Haylyn stated as she ran off to get some rope.
"And I believe we have some as well in our boats." Skylar rang in, as he sent Hevovi (Roadrunner's look-a-like) to fetch it
After Haylyn and Hevovi returned with rope, Gossamer took them and used them as a lasso to grab two trees and bend them the ground, before tying them to another tree for support. With the help of the villagers and the gang, they managed to push the ship onto the trees and ready to fire at anytime.
"Will this actually work? The ship looks too heavy to be flung by two trees." Babs stated curiously as she thought about the fact
"It's WB, Babsy, how could it not work?" Buster asked, "Piper, seeing you're the only one here with something sharp, would you like to do the honors?" he added as he indicated the overly-stressed ropes
"Gladly." she simply replied, and using one sword cut both ropes, sending the ship off the island and off to somewhere else.
"Good-bye, and good riddance." Buster stated
"I-I-I don't know, I feel w-w-we're forgetting something." Hamton stated
"Hmm....yes, I feel it as well, but what could it be?" Leo asked
All of a sudden, the group heard Shiela scream, and all eyes stared at a winged figure with glowing red eyes.
"We forgot about Splicer's monster!" Babs stated
"Now that's a welcome." the creature, apparently in a male voice, stated in an annoyed voice, "I just got up, and I'm already called a monster."
"Oh, sorry." Babs said, slightly embarrassed.
"It would appear that creature is a thinking and sensible being." Xavier stated
"Apparently." a villager rang in
"I know what's going on, I'm not dumb, and I suppose I have to leave." the creature stated
"You can stay on the island if you wish." Shill stated, "I don't feel any negative energy from you, you can stay if you do not harm anyone here."
"I suppose I can stay, but I might not be that welcome." the creature stated
"Like, I think none of us is going to disagree. If you did mean us any harm you would've, like, done it already." Shirley stated
"But if your staying, you're going to need a name. The islanders will need to call you by something." Buster stated
"I think about that."
"Now, I know you six wish to return home, but how are we going to do that?" Kaliska asked
"I don't know." Buster said, as he thought hard on the matter, "Hey, author, you there? The plot's done now, we can leave now right?"
"Yeah, you can, and I already got it covered. Head back to the beach, the answer to your problem is there."
"Alright, thanks." Buster replied, as the group went down to the beach.
"Alright, we're here, now what?" Plucky asked
"I don't know. Hey guys check out that wave." Buster stated
"That is a big wave. I never have seen it any bigger." Leo stated
As the wave hit the shores, it left behind something, a working ship's radio.
"A radio! Thank goodness, we finally can call for help." Plucky shouted
"What is that strange contraption?" Tex asked
"It's called a radio, and it lets us talk call for help, even if we are this far away from them." Babs replied
"Wow, now I have no doubt your people are much more advanced in their knowledge." Kaliska stated
After making the call, they learned that Bugs picked up the call, and was headed their way, but it was going to take two days for him to reach their location. It wasn't that bad though, for the next few days they made it worth their while as they chatted with the villagers, learned from them as well as teaching them a few acting skills, and played a few games with the village kids, who mainly ambushed them for fun. The creature later agreed to being called Thomas, and is now a current resident of the island, he lives in the cave where Splicer was conducting his experiments. On the last day, Elder Xavier, Kaliska, and Skylar came to speak for their part of the village in saying good-bye, the villagers came out to see them off.
"It was good to have met you Leo." Buster stated as he shook his hand
"May we see each other again, Buster Bunny." Leo stated
"Best wishes, guys." Piper stated as Sheila and Micheal bothered their father and Hamton
"Zhose kids, are going to tire zhem out, how on earth do vous manage?" Fifi asked
"Just something we learn with experience." Haylyn replied
"Buster, Babs, Hamton, Fifi, Shirley, Plucky, if you may, come here. Elder Xavier wishes to give you something." Leo stated
"Thank you Leo, we wish to give you these." Xavier stated as he gave them each a necklace made of string, tree bark, and some rather shiny stones, "With these, we make you part of the tribe."
"Cool, we're like honorary members now." Buster stated
"Exactly, young one." Skylar stated as he chuckled.
At that moment, Robin pulled at his mother's skirt and whispered something to her, which she apparently okayed.
"Buster, Babs, Robin wishes to speak to you." Haylyn stated as she called them over, while the others spoke to the other villagers
"Yes, what is Robin." Babs asked before Robin hugged both her's and Buster's legs again, like when they first met (Chapter 2)
"I'm going to miss you. Thank you for helping us and playing with me." Robin stated
"Ahh, it wasn't a problem. It was fun getting to know you." Babs stated as she picked him up and hugged him
"Yeah, it great getting to know you and the others." Buster rang in as he petted Robin's head
"What is going on, Haylyn?" Leo asked as he took note on what's happening
"Robin wished to say 'good-bye' in his own way." Haylyn replied, "Oh, Babs I wanted to give you this."
"What is it?" Babs asked as Haylyn gave her a small bag of seeds.
"Tis the seed of the kawa fruit." Haylyn replied
"Kawa fruit? But Haylyn, I thought..." Babs tried to argue, but was stopped when Haylyn interrupted
"Yes, I know, but it doesn't hurt to think about the future." Haylyn stated, giving her a wink
All Buster and Babs can do is chuckle nervously
"It takes two years before the tree can bear fruit, you have plenty of time." Haylyn added
"Thank you, Haylyn." Babs said as she pocketed the bag of seed.
"Eh, if you're all done, lets get going." Bugs, who was on the boat, stated
"Alright, come on, we need to say our 'bye's' to the others" Buster stated as he lead them to the others
"Come on, Buster, I need a bath." Babs stated as she kissed him on the cheek, "Huh..., what's this?"
"Vhat is, Babs?" Fifi asked as Babs began pushing aside Buster's cheek fur
"Look at this, Buster's got a scar on his cheek." Babs pointed out
"Really, let me see." Plucky stated as he, Shirley, and Hamton joined to see
"It looks like you are a little bit more like Leo now, Buster." John stated
"Yes, I agree, for I have a scar as well, but it is on the other side of my face." Leo stated
"But how did you obtain such a scar?" Haylyn asked
"I guess it was during the fighting, a dog managed to cut my cheek with a spearhead." Buster explained, "I guess that it just makes it more true that I'm your mirror, Leo." he added as Leo just smiled and nodded
As the six of them got on the boat the waved good-bye to the islanders, neither side going to forget what had happened. Once they were out of sight, Buster and the others sat down to enjoy the trip back home, while the islanders walked back to their village.
"W-w-what did Haylyn give you Babs?" Hamton asked
"She gave me a bag of seeds, they're suppose to be seeds for the kawa fruit." Babs explained
"She, like, really gave you the seed for it?" Shirley stated
"That's interesting, but I suppose Hammy and Fifi don't know what it is." Plucky stated
"No, ve know what et is." Fifi objected
"Babs managed to t-t-talk us into trying it." Hamton added
"How about the affects?" Buster asked
"We were warned, about it afterwards." Hamton replied
"And, Babs still owes moi and 'amton for not telling us." Fifi stated
"But you did like the affects did you." Babs stated, as she indicated how Hamton and Fifi kissed each other roughly three hours later
Hamton and Fifi just stayed quite and blushed, earning a laugh from their friends
"I guess that makes it we all have tried it." Plucky stated
"Yep, except Bugs." Buster stated, as the six of them plotted about giving the older rabbit a taste
------------------------------------
On the island:
"I do hope we see them again." Robin stated
"We may, if the spirits allow." Leo stated
"Maybe one day, Robin. You should start practicing, that way you can surprise them when we see each other again." Piper stated
"Can we do that too?" Sheila and Micheal asked almost at the same time.
"I do not see why not." Leo stated
"Right now though, let us just return home. I wish to nap." Hopi stated
"Bored so quickly, Hopi?" Haylyn asked
"No, but I have no need to be active at this time." Hopi replied
"Let us just say if we see them again, that things may not end the same way again." Shill stated, "I do not wish to fight another well armed man again."
"Yes, quite." Leo stated
The End
-------------------------------------------------
A/N: Well that's the end of this story. I hope you liked it. I do have something up my sleeve for these guys again in the future, but I definitely got to finish some other stories first before I can start it. I originally wanted to have gotten some pics of the islanders done, before I finished this story, now that I have an account on DA and FA, but I couldn't get to them. I'll still try, but you'll only hear about it in the authors note for "Toony-antic", it's the prequel for this story, so it makes sense that's where I'll state it. If you also read that story as well, keep an eye out for me to mention about pics. Alright, Cya later.
BTW, I do wish to apologize again for the long wait on the chapter, finishing this in one month is too long of a wait. Sorry.
