Marvin's spaceship was already fired up and ready to go by the time Bugs got there. Eyes widening he flung himself at the door just as it was closing and managed to get into the spaceship in the nick of time. Gasping, the rabbit lay on the floor and got his breath back for a few moments before glaring up at Marvin and hissing. "Really? Ya couldn't have kept de door open a few more minutes?"
Marvin shrugged. "I said 12 hours." He said, pedantically. "Everyone else made it on time. Except Porky -but he's still with Daffy. He's not woken up yet - anyway, is it my fault you can't follow instructions?"
Bugs gave one last glare and staggered to his feet. "'Ave we decided who we're gettin' next?"
"Yes." Marvin lit the main screen up and zeroed in on two of the trackers. "After a LONG discussion - during which Tweety had a minor breakdown-"
"It wasn't a bweakdown!" Tweety snapped. "I just pointed out the advantages of getting Gwanny and especiawwy Speedy back soonew wather than watew."
Just behind Tweety, Wile.E held up a sign that said. 'Pointed out the advantages at the top of his lungs and with voice shaking - yes.'
"Call it what you want - the fact is we are now heading towards 'The Matrix' Universe. Before you interrupted us we were just deciding who was going to go and get them."
Bugs frowned. "Tweety, surely? He's the closest to Granny."
"I am hewe, ya know." The canary said, hotly. "And yes, I am going. I just need someone to come with me. Thewe's no point us aww going, the Matwix is dangewous so Mawvin says he needs as many toons defending the ship as possible. I'ww be fine, I just need one toon to come with me." Tweety sighed and added. "Nowmawwy it's be Swy, but he's not hewe-"
"I'll go." Bugs said immediately.
"Weawwy?"
"Whaddya mean 'really?' - Not only am I yer older brother, I'm the main character, of course I'm coming wiv ya. Anyway, it shouldn't be to hard. Our teleporting will work there, won't it?" He directed the last question at Wile.E, who nodded in response.
"Oh yes. Despite the fact that The Matrix has it's own physical laws that physics can be bent if you know your way around it and the Matrix's powers doesn't cover powers from other planets. If Hermione went there - for example - she'd be able to use her magic. Ditto for the likes of Superman and Wonderwomen. Batman might have more issue because he runs more on gadgets but his physical prowess wouldn't be affected-"
"But our teleporting will be alright?" Bugs interrupted, keen to get back on task. "And our anvils?"
Wile.E considered. "Teleporting's definitely alright. Anvils may have to enter 'bullet time.' I'd try and avoid gags if I were you." He advised. "Stick to flying and running - it'll be easier. And I'd stay away from burrowing." He added. "I know in theory you can burrow through any surface, but the Matrix may not be the best place to put that theory to the test."
Bugs nodded. "Got it. Now-" He grinned at Tweety. "-We need to be properly attired."
Reading his brothers mind Tweety and Bugs spun around creating a dust cloud and when the cloud disappeared they were each wearing a long leather coat that came down to Bugs's knees and Tweety's feet respectively.
The two of them looked at each other and fist-bumped. "Now-" Bugs carefully placed a pair of shades over his eyes. "-Les go get 'em."

[About an hour and a half later in the land of 'The Matrix']
"Be careful." Marvin warned, as he opened the door. "I believe they're in a building a few miles away. Teleporting may be the best option."
With a sharp nod to show he'd understood Bugs grabbed Tweety and teleported to where Granny and Speedy should be.
"We need to remember we can do this." Bugs yelled in Tweety's ear, as they travelled. "It'll come in useful later on in de fic."
The instance they landed Bugs let Tweety go and struck a pose, expecting to be attacked by goodness knows what at any moment. Nothing happened and Bugs paused and lifted his glasses up to see Granny and Speedy looking at him like he was mental. Which to be fair - as Bugs stood in an empty room wearing a trench coat having just been swiping at nothing - he could see why. "Eh...what's up, Family?"
"Tweety!" Granny exclaimed, as soon as she saw the yellow canary. "Oh, my Tweety! I've been SO worried!" She hurried over and hugged him.
Bugs took a step backwards to give them some space and smiled. A cloud of dust alerted him to the fact Speedy was standing at his elbow. "Hola, Sr Bugs! It is good to see you considering we thought you were dead!"
"Yeah, a lot of people have said dat..." Bugs began.
At that precise second a lot of explosions and general violence started and seemed to be heading towards them at a very alarming pace. Speedy yelled something in Spanish that Bugs assumed meant 'We're all going to die! Quick - back to the ship!" And sped of.
Tweety teleported himself and Granny back to the ship and Bugs quickly followed them, not wanting to deal with the ax-crazy matrix people any time soon.
He felt slightly dizzy when he got back to the spaceship, but this quickly faded and he was pleased to see Granny and Speedy being welcomed back by everyone with hugs and laughter.
Marvin was the only one not to join in the celebrations - focusing on getting the ship away from the chaos instead - and Bugs leaned into the wall as the ship accelerated off.
"Welcome back, Siblings!" Marvin called, over the sound of the engine. "Apologies I can't hug you, but rest assured I am pleased to see you. Would you like to go back home or are you alright with staying onboard while we pick up Gossamer and Hazel?"
After a brief discussion Granny and Speedy said they were alright for now.
"In that case then..." Marvin said, as he zeroed in on Hazel's and Gossamer's trackers. "...We're off to see the wizard-"
"-The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz!" The others chanted and they all sang the song as the spaceship whizzed through the serververse.
