Hey! Roxy Goth here. Hope you all enjoy this chapter, I'm not sure when the next chapters going to be, but I'm aiming for some time next week.
See chapter one for the disclaimer and let's go!
Junior was tapping his foot anxiously, looking up at the sky for any signs of life. There was rather a lot, actually, but none that he wanted. Just as he was about to give up and go home he saw some twinkling stars that were brighter than the others. He felt a wave of emotion hit him and - assuming the slightly dramatic pose he was known for - sighed. "Oh Father. How I wish you were here now so that you could see these stars to. If you come back I'll go star-gazing with you every night, I promise!" He looked up imploringly at the sky and then frowned. Actually, now he was looking at them properly, those lights seemed to be coming awfully close to him-
-and it was a spaceship. Of COURSE it was a spaceship. After about 70 years of being a Looney Tune [albeit, a minor one] Junior really should have seen that coming.
Without even looking properly at the spaceship, the 'young' cat sighed, picked up a random stick and drew shapes in the dust. What he wouldn't give to hear his fathers silly voice again...
The doors to the spaceship opened and out of them came a familiar silhouette which was soon followed by a even-more familiar voice.
"Junior!"
"Pop!"
The two cats embraced and Sylvester swung his son around multiple times in the way that fathers are renown for while making strange noises that translated as 'I missed you, I missed you, I missed you SO MUCH-"
Just behind them in the doors of the spaceship the other looneys watched this touching scene, all wiping tears away from there eyes. "Well." Bugs said, trying not to sound to chocked up. "I guess Sly ain't comin' wiv us, is he?"
To which Tweety, laughing, said. "Unless you're feeling brave enough to go and tell him he has to, but you may get TWO lots of cat claws..."
"We'll leave it then. C'mon you lot. We need to decide who we're getting next."
After a brief but lively discussion the consensus was that it was better to get Taz on account of the fact he could easily cause millions of dollars of damage if left to his own devices for to long.
"Right, let's go!" Bugs changed into Chungus and took the helm. "Full speed ahead! Adult Swim here we come!"
"Excuse me." An irritated Marvin said, foot tapping rapidly. "But I think you'll find this is MY ship."
Bugs was to happy to even care at this point and gladly let Marvin take over.
Marvin pressed the 'arrive as close to as possible' button and was most annoyed when nothing happened. "This is most annoying. "He muttered, as he pressed the button repeatedly. "Honestly. You pay over 6,000 Mars dollars [= approx $12,752] and what do you get? K9′s dog house would be better than this."
"Eh...Marvin?" Penelope said, looking up at the sky with wide eyes.
Bugs followed her eyes and promptly widened his own. "Eh...Marvin?"
"Do not bother me, earth creatures." Marvin said, not even looking up. "I'm in the middle of-"
"-INCOMING!" Bugs screamed as Taz smacked full-force into the glass, creating a crack in the front screen.
"Ooh!" Marvin stamped his foot. "There goes the warranty!"
The other toons were to startled to say anything, looking up at Taz like they were unsure it was him. As if to reassure them Taz stuck his tongue out and made a noise that, roughly translated, means: "Family." Thankfully he didn't quite start quoting ohana or anything like that, but the sentient was definitely there.
After a few seconds Tweety asked Marvin if the martian was planning on letting Taz in or if he wanted him framed or something. Marvin shook himself out of his daze and pressed a button that made a giant metal arm come out of the side of the spaceship. The metal arm picked Taz of off the windscreen and brought him safely inside the spaceship.
Upon being put down the first thing Taz did [which really they all should have seen coming] was spin around the place making happy noises which, roughly translated, meant: 'I'm back, I'm back, I'm back-!"
"Okay, okay!" Bugs yelled, as the dots of Marvin's eyes were replaced by images of fire. "We get it! We're happy ta see ya to-!"
"Brother!" Taz threw himself at the rabbit and hugged him tightly. "Missed you." He muttered, into the rabbits fur.
Bugs blinked before hugging the Tasmanian devil back, with a soft. "Missed you to, buddy. Right." He said, briskly, pushing the devil away gently. "Where're we takin' ya then? You gonna stay with us an' help get our siblings back or go back home and see Mrs Devil? Up to you."
Taz considered for a few minutes, then said he'd like to see his wife again. Bugs nodded and turned to Marvin who sighed and took the controls again.
"Yes, I know. Home again..."

Meanwhile at the exact moment Marvin was flying the spaceship back to WBC for about the 5th time in 12 hours, Pete chose that moment to check the monitor.
Rhythm was a man of his word. He had said that he wasn't going to look at Bugs's progress until the last day and that was true. He got Pete to do it instead. Initially it was once a day, but after about two months of no-progress, Rhythm reduced it to once a week, then once a fortnight. Now they were only checking it once a month. Last month Bugs Bunny had been in Tune Town, talking to the trees. Now he wasn't. Panicking Pete searched all over the rest of the serververse until he found Bugs and co heading back, as previously stated, to WBC.
Without waiting a moment longer Pete let out a series of beaps and hurriedly glided into the next room where Rhythm was sitting idly in a chair and staring disinterestedly into space.
"Beap, beap, beeeeaaaappppp, bbbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaappppppppp!"*
"For crying out loud, calm down you idiot!" Rhythm snapped. "What's the matter?"
Pete beaped.*
Rhythm looked at him blankly. "What do you mean? Where is he?"
Pete started to beap*, but didn't even get more than three words into his sentence before Rhythm stood up violently and yelled. "Don't be stupid! That system is fool proof, understand!? Fool proof! There's no way into that island and there's no way out of it! If YOU-" He stepped closer to Pete, hot air blowing into his assistants face. "-Cannot find him, then you need to LOOK AGAIN - understand!? Because he WILL be there, somewhere, you just need to LOOK FOR HIM!" And with that the 'king of the serververse' turned on his heel and stalked towards the back of the room.
Pete was left staring after him with wide, startled eyes. Rhythm's temper could be unpredictable, but up to that point he'd never seriously yelled at Pete. The blob [not sure what else to describe him as] silently glided from the room and back towards the main server.
He brought the screen up and looked at it. By now Bugs and the rest had arrived in WBC and the Tazmanian Devil was spinning around like a crazy thing hugging everybody in sight. Pete found himself smiling, it was quite a cute scene really. Then he shook himself out of it and plastered a frown on his face. He was evil, he reminded himself, he didn't do 'family.'
He sighed and leaned back in his chair. He'd monitor them anyway, even if Rhythm didn't believe him. After all. That was what friends were for, right?
Pete 1 - Rhythm, rhythm, rrrhhhyyytthhhmmm, rrrrrrhhhhhhhyyyyyyttttthhhhhhhmmmmmm!
Pete 2 - Bugs, h-he's not on Tune Town anymore!
Pete 3 - He's got out-
