"-We know he is a wonderful whiz -!" The gathered 10 toons bellowed at the top of their lungs as Marvin did his best to land the ship.
"Shut up the lot of you-" Marvin sang to the tune of 'wonderful wizard of oz' "-Before I kill you all."
Everyone else shut up and Bugs smiled while saying. "Ya know who oi like about you, Marvin? Ya warm and compassionate nature."
Marvin - having landed by that time - flipped his brother the bird before sighing and turning round to face his annoying siblings. "Right. As you may have gathered we are in Oz in order to find Hazel and Gossamer. Now, looking at the trackers it appears that they are in the Wicked Witch Of The West's castle which - the more observant of you may have noticed - we are nowhere near-"
"Because she'd murder us if we got to close?" Granny asked.
Marvin nodded. "Either that or her flying monkeys would rip us apart. So we need to try and sneak our way into the castle in order to rescue them."
"Rescue them?" Penelope said, in concern. "Where are they?"
Marvin cocked his head to one side and examined the screen. "...I'm unsure. All I can work out is they're both in the castle itself, but the castle is very big and I'm having trouble pinning down exactly where they are. But my theory - considering the rumours regarding the Witch Of The West's attitude to intruders, I.E. - to attempt to murder them on sight - is that they're imprisoned in the dungeons. Which is why we need to rescue them and why I didn't just want to land the spaceship on top of her castle."
Bugs sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Right." He said. "So how are we going to do that?"
"...Well, I was sort of hoping, earth-creature, that you would come up with an idea?"
Bugs sighed deeply and massaged the sides of his head. If he saw Rhythm he was actually going to punch him in the face. What had any of them done to deserve all this hassle?
It took a good few minutes - during which the other Looney's played cards - but eventually Bugs came up with the germ of an idea.
"Alright Gang." He said, flexing his hands. "Gather round an' hear de tale of 'ow we're gonna get Hazel and Gossamer back."

[About 45 minutes to an hour later]
"Good Evening, fellow guards."
The two guards who were guarding the entrance to the Wicked Witch of the West's castle looked firstly at each other, then down at a small pig and a...thing both of which were wearing guard uniforms like themselves.
The one with a round head blinked up at them and carried on in a perfectly civil tone. "We are here to relieve you off your duties. You may go now."
The guards looked at each other again, each trying to work out if they'd seen these guards before.
"I said." The small thing said, voice becoming like ice. "You may go now."
The two guards looked at each other and walked off.
When they were sure the two guards had gone Porky signalled and the other toons - also wearing the same outfits for protection and uniformity - snuck into the door Marvin was holding open.
The Martian was counting his siblings off as they went in and stopped the last two, which happened to be Sam and Tweety. "You two stay here." He ordered. "I don't care how you do it, stop anyone coming in."
Sam saluted and Tweety nodded, seriously.
Marvin nodded back and left them both to it. "Right." He said, briskly, getting out his portable tracker. "I think the dungeon is through this corridor and then through another door which should lead straight down to the dungeon where I think Gossamer and Hazel should be."
They managed to get through the relevant corridors and found the door. "Right." Marvin said, examining it. "The lock looks simple enough-"
*Bang!*
Yosemite Sam blew the smoke off the top of his pistol and said, aggressively. "Wha'? We're in, ain't we?"
Bugs glared daggers and exchanged a look of 'these morons' with Porky who shook his head irritably and said. "L-l-let's just g-g-get this over with." and he led the others down the quite narrow stairs that led to the gloomy, practically pitch-black dungeon.
The toons suddenly found torches appearing in there hands and miner hats on their heads which illuminated the dungeon so much they could clearly see Gossamer in a cell. He was standing up [the cell was so small he was practically bursting out at the sides] and when he saw them he smiled and grabbed the bars while looking at them with puppy-dog eyes.
Bugs held his hand up and gestured to Sam that he was to blow the door off. The pirate grinned and, stepping forward, aimed and fired.
The lock fell to the floor - the noise comparably to dynamite in the small space - and Gossamer hesitantly stepped into the room his shoes slapping on the concrete floor. He looked round - as if expecting someone to leap on him - then, satisfied the coast was clear, gathered all his siblings up and hugged them tightly.
The others laughed - well, Sam grumbled affectionally - and the scene was happy. Then came the sound of shoes slapping down the concrete stairs. Gossamer dropped them all and the toons took up 'dramatic' poses while they waited for whoever it was to come into sight.
Two seconds later Witch Hazel, clad in black instead of blue and with her hair hidden under the Wicked Witch Of The West's hat, stepped confidently and theoretically in front of them. Gossamer - to Bugs's confusion as the two were very close - whimpered slightly and stepped back a little.
Seemingly ignoring the fact a number of her siblings were gathered in front of her Hazel smiled tightly and sneered. "What the hell are you doing out of your cage?"
