I don't know if you noticed, but our story was getting way to complicated. And remember, this was the 90s. A time when things were starting to change. The 80s were so simple. Sort of. But we are getting off track here. Something entirely random and bonkers happened when Annie and I stepped out of the cave. First, we saw the Warners fighting off their evil shadow selves using anvils, hammers and whatever cartoony weapon they got out of their sleeves. Slappy the Squirrel was hitting her shadow version with her purse, while saying things she shouldn't say at all.
Otto, or at least now Anti-Otto was standing there looking at the fight with frustration. In perfect English, he spoke, "You shadows are stupid! They are just children!" cried Anti-Otto.
"We meet again Dr." I said.
Otto looked at me and laughed. "Dr. Scratchnsniff has a strong German Accent. How could you not see that I was an imposter Mime!" cried Otto.
"I may be the Mime, but I got a name! It's Zach!" I cried.
"Oh I'm scared." said Anti-Otto.
"Where's the Brain!" cried Annie angrily. Otto scratched his chin with delight.
"We have him as a captive too! You see, there is such a thing as a anti Brain!" said Otto.
"Enough of this stupid fan fiction crap!" I cried as I made my hands like scissors.
Otto laughed. "What the heck was that?" he asked.
"As the Mime, I have the power to make things appear before your eyes. You are careless Otto." I said.
Anti-Otto Scratchnsniff looked up, but it was too late. A giant safe appeared out of nowhere and flattened the shadow of Dr. Scratchnsniff to the ground.
"That's gotta leave a mark." I said with a grin.
The shadows began to retreat and Anti-Otto got up from the ground. "You have not seen the last of me. I will return! And you will all turn back into measly drawings!" cried Anti-Otto.
"I'm scared now. Not!" cried Wakko.
"You guys are just a bunch of things that have nothing better to do with your lives." said Dot.
"Don't mock me BITCH!" cried Anti-Otto.
"Now that's so plain rude and very PG-13 of you." said Yakko.
Anti-Otto pulled out what appeared to be a gun and aimed for the Warners, until Slappy hit him with her purse. The shadow let go of the gun and Wakko kicked it away from him.
Anti-Otto laughed and vanished before our eyes. "Is everyone alright?!" cried Annie to the group.
"We're cool!" cried Wakko.
"A bunch of whippersnappers with no lives what so ever." remarked Slappy .
"Well, looks like we got our work cut out for all of us." said Annie.
"So, what happened in the cave? What did old woman say?" asked Slappy.
"Well this may sound a little cliche but... our love is going to get through this." said Annie holding my hand.
"Excuse me and correct me if I'm wrong... "Love?" she asked.
"Well love is a good and powerful weapon." said Yakko.
"Yeah. Very purty." said Wakko.
"Ah love! The birds and the bees." said Dot.
"Shut up! All of you! Love? How is love going to help find your friends and stop the shadows from taking the crystal?" asked Slappy.
"We don't know yet. There is so much we don't know." said Annie.
"Well anyway... the secret place where our friends are is only... oh no... did we have a map or something?" I asked to Annie.
"I have one here. And so does Slappy. We know where to go." said Annie.
"How long will it take us all to get to the secret place?" I asked.
"Since we don't have a car, and the bus and airplanes won't be of any help, we will have to travel for a couple weeks." said Annie.
"Couple weeks?" I asked.
"Yay! Road Trip!" cried Wakko.
"No, but this is serious?! We will have to walk all the way and I think I left the portal thing back at Slappy's!" cried Yakko.
"Not to worry. The shadows simply want to stop us. Right now, the Crystal they look for is not really their biggest importance right now." said Dot.
"Yeah. We are a threat to them. The Shadows or Wendigos... whatever they are... they are afraid of all of us. The fact we drove Otto away means one thing... they will keep on coming." I said.
"Then let them come. We will stop them." said Annie.
"Why do I have the feeling this is going to be one long fan fiction?" asked Yakko.
"And why are you moping?" asked Dot.
"Well... eversince the Mime started to narrate this story... we've been practically running around unsure what to do. And that filler chapter with Professor Utonium from Power Rangers had no purpose. What is the reason for this fan fic anyway?" Wakko was saying.
"You guys know we are being paid for all this right? We got pay for play contracts." said Dot.
"Oh yeah! We all are getting mula while the author is typing his fingers away on this story." said Yakko.
"NARF! LOOK EVERYONE!" cried Pinky.
"Finally some exctiment!" cried Yakko.
From the distance, we saw a large UFO go up in the sky. And a large hologram appeared. The hologram of the shadow of the Brain. Anti-Brain to be exact.
"What did you do to my friend?!" cried Brain, knowing this shadow was an imposter.
"I've come in representation of my master. The Brain and Otto Scratchnsniff are currently locked away in our cell. They were teaming up to take us both down. You see fools... the master wishes for the crystal to be in his hands and he will control nature as we all know it." said the Brain.
"Who is your master?!" I cried.
"My master? Why it's none other than Death itself!" cried the Brain.
"Death?" I asked.
"Is he speaking metaphorically?" asked Annie.
The Anti-Brain's face vanished and a skull's face appeared with two red hot flaming eyes.
"Hello Warner Brothers." he sneered.
"Uh? Do we know this fool?" asked Yakko.
"You do know me. You all cheated on that game we played in Hell. Wakko Warner's soul was going to be mine..." said Death. He had a peculiar accent.
"Oh now I remember! You got me after I won that Meatball eating contest!" cried Wakko.
"That was an episode in the first season of Animaniacs!" cried Dot.
"SILENCE! You fools have escaped me time and time again. Soon I will have the crystal in my grasp, and when I do... you will all pay with your lives!" cried Death.
"Don't you have anything better to do dude?" asked Yakko.
"I'm not impressed. If your Death itself, why are you using shadows to do your dirty work?" asked Slappy.
"Yes. Your using the deep dark Wendigos of people. Death, you will not control them. Eventually they will overpower you." said Annie.
"Over power me?! Over power me?! Young lady, I'm Death! If they so much as hurt me, then they die! I can't die! I bring death!" cried Death.
"This is starting to get stupid." I said.
"What was that? Did you say something boy?" asked Death.
"Oi! Your beef is with us!" cried Wakko.
"Indeed. It is. And you will all suffer my wrath!" cried Death.
"So our enemy is not Scratchnsniff or the Brain? It's a fool you all fooled with?! Do we have to pay for your wacky antics Warners?!" said Slappy.
"Yes." replied Yakko.
"I don't know where the Crystal is... but I will find it someday! Somehow! You in the meantime... you will all be destroyed!" cried Death as he vanished with the UFO.
After that, Annie and I looked at the Warners in disbelief. "You mean to tell us that all this started because of something you three idiots did?!" I cried.
"Well it was fun back then, but now? Geez louis." said Yakko.
"Talk about holding a grudge." said Dot.
"Now would be a good time for a political joke." said Wakko.
"Narf! Not here you wont! This is Fan ! You say something, imagine all the comments flooding in!" cried Pinky.
"Enough with the infernal fourth wall jokes! What's the plan now?! And I'm leaving this to Annie and Zach. They are the only ones who make sense around here." said Slappy.
"Well the plan is the orignal plan. Only we know where the crystal is. In the warm hands of our friends. But... we have to travel to find the secret place. We know where it is according to the map, but the travel will take days." I said.
"No problem. The Warners here are rich. I'm sure we can get motel rooms where ever we go." said Annie.
"Oh yeah, I'm flooding with cash all over." said Wakko.
"We are cartoons. Making money should be a sinch." said Yakko.
"And yet we live in a water tower." said Dot.
"And I live in a tree. But we can all pinch in for this adventure we find ourselves in." said Slappy.
"Narf! This is going to be fun!" cried Pinky.
And it was settled. Starting the next day, our true adveture began. And it was going to be a long, long long long long long long adventure with these guys.
