Alright one more update, then I'm calling it for the day. Sorry for the long wait on this, guys, but life is pushing me over the stressing point. But, don't worry, I won't leave you hanging. Here's the next chapter!

Reviewer Thanks

Scoobycool9, Luckycool9, and Steve: Oh yes, it's very interesting; Yep, clearly the suspense is going to increase to the maximum; and you're the only one to acknowledge the spoof, thank you!

HBee16: Yeah, now if he were himself, there would only be slight cause for alarm- but now… I suggest you run for your life. Go on now, run! RUN! lol

Rabbit '91: It's hard to explain, mainly FF2's idea :P

Fanatic97: Uh, a little of both. And we'll be right back to the Warners… after this disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I still own nothing. Carry on!

Rem and Silver entered the Warner Tower, where Wakko was running around with a flashlight. "Marco!" he shouted.

"Polo!" Yakko and Dot called from behind the couch, ducking down when Wakko shined his flashlight in their direction.

"Marco!"

They peeked out from under the kitchen table. "Polo!"

"Hey, what's going on?" Silver asked.

"Power's still out, so we're playing 'Flashlight Tag,'" Wakko said, then shined his flashlight on Silver. "You're it!"

"He has to be in the dark first, Wakko!" Yakko reminded him.

"Oh, yeah…"

"Uh, weren't you all just concerned about your friend a moment ago?" Rem questioned.

"You mean you haven't rescued him, yet?" Wakko asked.

"No, we found a couple laptops and I re-entered SAO to find that mallet," Silver began, then gave Rem a glare. "Until SOMEONE provoked WG, started a brawl, and smashed it!"

"Not my fault the bitch is sensitive," Rem muttered.

"Where IS she, anyway?" Dot asked… then Wakko shined his light on her.

"You're it!" Wakko exclaimed, and Dot fumed.

"She fell into that machine we nabbed from the Disney studio." Silver said, holding up the computer he managed to sneak out. "Now, lets get back to the game. Rem, hook yourself up,"

"Ugh… don't see why I have to…" Rem muttered.

Silver leaned close and whispered, "…never be left alone again…"

Rem gritted her teeth, but put on the goggles. "Lets just get this over with."

The other Warners grabbed their gear and hooked up, all of them logging into SAO.

Within the game, Silver had black armor with a silver outline, gauntlets on his paws having claws on them. "Nice… I get my own avatar," he said, impressed. "What do you think… Rem?"

Rem was staring at herself… She looked human again, wearing black-and-violet flexible armor, twin katanas, and on her armor there was a dragon-symbol. "Wow, Rem… you look cool!" Wakko exclaimed.

"Alright, lets find that mallet," Yakko declared.

"What about WG? Shouldn't we wait for her?" Dot inquired.

Silver paused. "She… can't log in anymore. She died in the game," he said, sadly.

"What?! How?" Wakko gasped.

"A couple of jackassed players threw a spear at her. She said she was going to try to use a different identity or something to log back in," Rem replied. "Now can we get a move on? I want to see what I can do with these things,"

"I'm afraid to find out," Yakko said to the audience.

They walked on down a path. "So, where do we find the Starstream Mallet?"

"Somewhere in the Starstream Cavern, of course, but it may take a lot of searching…" Silver began to say, until he looked down at his claws, seeing they had extended a bit. "Or, maybe we can take a shortcut!"

He sliced at the air, opening a portal… revealing a dark-walled cavern with a bright white floor, and they stepped through. "O-kay, when could you open portals?" Rem questioned.

"Oh, I've known how to do it. I can open portals to any place- all I have to do is think about something. Comes in handy when trying to find a car in a crowded parking lot. Just last spring WG and I took a trip to England,"

"Wait, so you can do this in the real-world, too?"

"Oh yeah. He can open a portal to anywhere!" Wakko said, grinning his goofy grin.

Anywhere? Even…? Rem thought.

"Hey look! I see it!" Dot exclaimed, pointing upward.

On the top of an outcrop, wedged inside a crevice, shining in all its glory, was the Starstream Mallet.

"Oooooooooh," the three Warners stated in awe.

"Alright, lets grab it, then we'll open a portal back to-" Silver began to say.

There was a rumble…

And a large, bull-like creature, black as the walls but with sparkles covering it, stepped out of the shadows, leaping in front of the group and roaring in the werewolf's face.

"Whoops. Forgot about this beastie." Silver put bluntly.

"What is that thing?!" Rem gasped.

"The Starstream monster- and I don't think it wants us taking its mallet," Silver extended his claws. "Not without a fight, at least."

Starstream lunged, pulling out a weapon- a large sword- trying to slice Silver, who dodged and then leaped, swiping its face, only making it angry. Yakko looked through his list of weapons. "Lets see, what to use… Sword, no… Ninja-star things, no… Laser gun- how did that get in there?"

Wakko whipped out his own mallet and, when the beast was about to slam its fist down on Silver, whacked it on the head, making stars circle around its head a moment, until it smacked the middle Warner away, into the wall. "Cheap shot…!" he groaned.

"Geez, you guys don't handle many bosses, do you?" Rem scoffed, then ran towards the wall, leaping off a rock and onto an outcrop, climbing above Starstream's head.

"Daggers, no… grenades, no… dynamite- only for special occasions…" Yakko said, still looking through his weapons-list.

Dot ran up to the monster, who roared in her face. "Ooh, you're scary. Want to meet my pet?" she asked, then opened up her little white box…

And a large green monster shot out, roaring in Starstream's face…

Starstream only raised its sword, slicing a chunk of hair off its head, and with a yelp it receded back into the box. "I was sure that would work," Dot gulped, and the monster grabbed her, snarling once more. "There's a pick-up line if I ever heard one."

Silver lunged again, but this time Starsteam swung his sword quick, and the werewolf dodged- and the monster slammed its foot on him while he was in mid-leap, pinning him down. "Ah, crud…" he grunted.

"A-ha!" Yakko exclaimed, pulling out an anvil, then zipped over to Starstream. "Hey, got a present for you,"

Starstream snarled, and Yakko threw the anvil up into the air, and it landed on its head, causing a large bump. It shook off its daze and roared in Yakko's face.

"Sorry, no return-policy."

The monster smacked Yakko into the wall (right into Wakko), squeezing Dot in its grip and digging its heel deeper to crush Silver. It let out a loud roar, demanding a bigger challenge.

"Hey, bull-shit! Up here!"

It looked up…

Just in time to see Rem diving towards him, her katanas raised…

In a flash, she sliced down one blade at an angle, cutting its face in half, then flipped and plunged the second into its chest. Soon, it turned into code, upping her points.

"Not bad for a newbie." Silver said. "So you have played videogames before."

"Duh, Captain Obvious. Now get that mallet before something else pops up," Rem scoffed.

Silver climbed up and grabbed the mallet. It glowed with a powerful aura, and his eyes widened… Zane… FF2… you should see this… it's amazing! he thought. All this power… it's more incredible than a combination of all our powers… I can actually feel myself getting stronger…

'Enough with the commentary, Silver, just grab it and lets go!' Zane said in his mind.

Oh, right. Silver put the mallet away, and climbed down to the others. "Now lets go get FF2,"

With that, he opened a new portal, and they stepped through.

A/N: Leaving it here for now, guys. We'll get into some more action later ;)

Please review. No flames or else you'll be placed in a death-match with Rem.

Rem: Am I like your only death-threat or something?!

Yes.

Rem: Ugh… can't wait until this is over with…
