Hello everyone and welcome back to Traveler's Journey, a short break from this was something needed as this story is going to be long one. Yet even when I have no reviews (But would like your thoughts and comments on them), I do this because it's fun and enjoyed writing, even in my slow days or updates I will continue this to the end or my life end (Hopefully I get this done first before that). The beginning story is more towards fun and adventure as our cast of character even if large are traveling worlds and exploring new places.
Also, when putting up the poll once more, since only getting less or more of 10 votes (given the option of choosing your top 3 movies), The poll will be the same but how many voters will be less this time around. I honestly did expect at least 20 votes, but I know this story isn't the most reviewed or favored. Still going for it as this story is for fun.
Outside of this Samurai Jack and Code Geass crossover is up. Honestly, seeing many of you enjoy that really... I have no words. But I kind of unsure if you like the direction towards the end. But will do my best to make a fanfic from cartoon's legendary series Samurai Jack. Surprise no one dared tried this until now. With that and accepting season 5 as it mellowed down, I do want to try something as Code Geass has a perfect opportunity to try some ideas.
P.S. Am sorry for taking this long. Too lazy as of late and feeling the urge to be outside lots along with other things. But it was no excuse for being this late, I will try and finish this more quickly with the next chapters instead of making everyone wait for more then month or two.
Alright folks here are the list for what is to come:
2 Votes for...
- Road to El Dorado
- Madagascar
- How to Train your Dragon
1 Vote for...
- Asterix
- James and The Giant Peach
- Megamind
- The Secret Life of Pets
- Rango
- Wolfwalker
- Book of Life
For those that have been voted once, I only asked for some opinion or review if you want to see these in Traveler's Journey. Last time I did a poll there was some last-minute votes that overshadowed Quest for Camelot at the time. It was quick votes, and much was change. So, before I make that mistake twice at least give some reviews or thoughts on Traveler's Journey if some of you have read the work. I know it's not the most reviewed, but the fact you still read them I can tell on this site. So, thank you for not only reading Traveler's Journey, but many works that is officially coming out that is Samurai Jack vs Britannia Empire, and continuing reading Galaxy Pirates. It at least shows you're interested and like what your reading, if not that's also okay since at least gave them a chance.

Bible Topics:
Losing ourselves
Do you know what is worse then just forgetting stuff that you know is important or when you know that's something you should have done? It's losing what made you from being renewed in Christ and become used to it that you no longer feel joy or fulfilling in Christ. This is common throughout history, many great followers of Christ has lost themselves that could have been more if they stayed on the path. We now live in this generation where we are losing ourselves by this world's way of living, distractions and worse of all Boredoms that has us turn to entertainment for pleasure in ourselves.
Folks this is serious as the media has so much junk and wrong ways it's almost easy to distract ourselves in this mess. It may feel good and we may find something to enjoy, but it's only temporarily just as our lives can end without any control or way to prevent it. Our lives to god are like vapors, smokes that come and go. If you want a better picture think of how one breath of your air is in and out of your lungs. What if by one moment even while reading this sentence, you are unable to breath and you die without air or help from anyone?
This world is growing with things and problems that makes us lose ourselves to the world and corruptions. Once we lose ourselves to this world, we are soon trap in a cycle where we repeat our mistakes and try to renew ourselves by our own strength. This happens to Believers, Saints and Christians as any of us can fall for this trap when we forget or ignore God long enough that we lose what we had gain and how we're reborn again. Don't lose this as your soul is on the line as much as everyone you save or help. They can be Followers of Christ, average people or those you hate. God is always in the business of saving souls, yet this world we have has some of us losing our own souls when forgetting where we came from or losing what made us turn to Christ from the start. DON'T LOSE YOURSELVES, YOUR SOUL AND THOSE AROUND YOU ARE ON THE LINE!
Traveler's Journey
Arc 2 - The Impossible Quest
Ch. 20 - I Like to move it!
Mickey and Company - 8 days later
What was static for the Mail Operator turned into minor headaches with some concussions if it were possible for this machine. Slowly it began to remember its long overdue files that has been kept safe for some time. But what came next honestly had shock him. To now The Mail Operator had managed to gather everyone and used them for his own means. He remembered how it happened as he started opening some of the boxes that weren't opened. When he did discover that they came to life, it had some ideas now as to use these living packages of objects and animals to his advantage. Since then, the car now had numerous of employees it didn't bother to count or know. But the work was never done, and it became constant overwhelming to think that the job just keeps on coming even when it seems finished. Yet that's how Mail Operator felt when it came to this stuff. As the days turned to months and months turned to years, the M.O. couldn't stop itself and continued to seek workers for the daunting task.
Yet that all change when one group came into this car and somehow everything just got wreck. Well to be frank the car itself was filled with many people that didn't want to be serving as workers. But that's not what mattered in the long run, work needed done and work needed to be finished or else his purpose wouldn't be finished. This was like all those other times when Passengers came and just left without care or concern for the M.O. Even worse was how some have cause trouble even when M.O. would have left them alone if they didn't interfere with his work.
Now though what is pondering M.O. mindset is why it's still thinking and why is it able to know and feel the surroundings. This soon let to answer when the screen brightens up and showed the same room that M.O. was supposedly destroyed. When it came to M.O. is unable to move around but feels itself attached to something. But what is shocking is how in front of M.O. are the very beings that had it shock and shut down in the first place. Mickey for the most part stood behind next to Minnie who is in front showing no means to harm or hurt him. On the other side is Droopy holding his gun at the ready, others like Pac-man, Mew and Martha Stoles are out of his sight. But it could feel that glare for odd reasons from the owl.
Wh-What is... happening?
Good your awake, I was afraid that you would be shut down for good." Minnie said as M.O. started to process what is happening at the moment. From just the sensory scan alone M.O is starting to piece together that these... passengers have stayed for odd reasons.
Why did you stay? More importantly what have you done to my car!
M.O. didn't realize he was shouting loud at the moment. Almost like they were expecting him to respond in such a manner.
"Well, we didn't really do anything, but after you were... let's say disposed for a bit. We told them the truth, about car and how you were responsible for everyone stuck here. I mean sure they wanted to destroy you. But after we explained your backstory to them and had to hold them back things started to calm down for a moment." Minnie said as this seems to brought about mixer response from M.O.
You did WHAT!
"To be fair you're not the only one that monologue about their plans and such. I mean this is sort of common when it comes to you acting like this, normally we would fight and stuff. But Minnie convinces us to help instead and make sure everyone knew what was happening. After some time-" Before Mickey could continue M.O. pulled itself up and started to react in much aggressive manner.
Do you have any idea what you have done
M.O. first started and then static is filling his voice as its expression became dark
Do you know WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
M.O. tried to attack or do anything at the moment as it became unaware that in the current condition. The Mail Operator is now contained in a new body that is smaller from the last. It appears to be some computer model like gateway, but with added features as it took many people to get it back operating once more.
YOU NOT ONLY TOLD THEM THE TRUTH! YOU EVEN HAVE THE GULL TO REBOOT ME BACK UP AFTER YOU ASSAULT ME! I HAVE NO PROCESS OF WHAT MADNESS YOU HAVE DONE BUT KNOW THAT MY WRATH WILL BE ON YOUR HEADS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! I SWEAR IF IT TAKES AN ETERNAITY I WILL GET MY REVENGE ON ALL OF YOU!
"Now Mr. Operator, there is no need for that kind of temper. Yes, we told them everything and we even stop them from trying to kill you." Minnie answered, this seems to gain the Mail operator's attention.
"Honestly it was hard to stop them without... er you know. But after they calmed down you actually have some helpers that stayed." Mickey said which made the Mail Operator confused, wondering what these people have been doing while he was shut down.
"Afterwards some complications happen, but now we got you working, and you have some help." Minnie said cheerfully.
What?
"she's saying some of the people you kept are actually staying to help you out. They even are looking for volunteers to help you sort out what going on here. It's not much, but you won't be working alone anymore." Mickey said, as M.O started to feel... weird for a lack of better term. For a moment he wondered if this was some trick, but when he looks at the two, he saw that they were serious. But this shouldn't be possible. What they said and what they are doing goes against the logic that should have happen. Yes, he's an old machine, but still runs on some principle of logic, but couldn't understand what these two were saying and why they are being this nice.
Why... after what I did... after lying to them for so long... and even you passengers ended up shutting me down... why did you help me after everything?
After a moment they didn't say anything. But then Mickey slightly stood in front of Minnie and spoke, "To be frank with you I would have left you and moved on." Mickey paused for a moment trying to think of the words to say since this was something he hasn't done much in his journey before.
"To explain, I have fought people like you before. Not machines in this car and train, but more so... bad guys if there was any better way. See I been granted power to travel places to preserve the light from darkness. In doing so I have fought guys like you who did wrong to others and have done really bad things. That eventually became a routine in my journeys. I have traveled places here and there including places no one has seen before. I have even fought many people that deserve it... but in doing this... I became more blind to my surroundings and judge others to what they have done without considering how they came to be now. What I'm trying to say is that regardless of what you did, I didn't take this time to know why they did them.
But then Minnie joined this group more recent, and I have to say something have been in my mind lately. And if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't be here to help you get things right. I guess what I'm saying is that over time I just simply traveled places without considering the affect I had on others, so... I honestly can't hold this against you. All you wanted was someone to stay and help you with this large workload. I mean mailing to every place of this train, that takes time and dedication to do that all your life. And some of the people you have understand that while most have left. So, if anything, I sorry for shocking you and ended up killing you is how I think works?" Mickey finished his explanation and for a moment the Mail Operator didn't say anything. But after some thought nodded its head and spoke...
You have no reason to apologies, if anyone is sorry It's me.
This had Martha attention as she wondered despite being angry, he's about to say.
As you have said Minnie, I overreacted. It's just I have been built to keep the mailing going and making sure the cars are supplied with everything they need. Oh, sure they say everything is under control and have unlimited supplies. But most come through here and I'm held responsible for every car that is here and created. I should have asked for help or at least tried another approach. But I got so fed up with everything that my process mind wasn't thinking clearly. Even more I feel much more refresh than before now having this new body. I mean you even made sure all my functions are in order and operations even after who knows when I was created. In fact, I feel much better now thanks to this new body. If there is anything I can do for you I would gladly offer what I can in my disposal. I can still let you out of here no problem, but I can hope that with what you did and helping me even when not deserving there should be something you want?
Mickey shook his head and said, "No think about it. If anything, doing nice things for others isn't about doing what's right or deeds, but your willingness to help them even if not asked. But it's still nice to at least asked every now and then to have support. If anything, we're good, just needed to bring you back up and leave things to you"
"And make sure you treat those working for you fairly. They are right now helping you sort things out and doing what they can for you." Minnie said, M.O look through the files and started to view the area and true to their words there are others willing to help him. This made the M.O. feel different as this was something even an old machine shouldn't be feeling.
I have no words of kindness you showed. Thank you for giving me another chance and changing my ways.
"Ah shucks, I'm honestly glad you're able to do much more then what usually happens." Mickey stated as he rub the back of his head.
While I may not understand what you talk about, but then again weirder things happen on this train. I do appreciate it. And as for the owl, I have no words that can be said here, but I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been acting out so selfishly or acted the way I did.
Martha didn't say anything except give her glare towards M.O. but after some time her eyes soften as she then said, "While I didn't like what you did, I'm sure there was things I did that were wrong as well. I can't say I can forgive you that easily, but I can at least move on and not hold my anger in against you. I honestly don't know how to feel right now and would need to think about it." As M.O. understood this and understand her feelings towards it.
"That's good to hear." Minnie said and added sadly, "Now you take care of yourself. As much as we would like to stay, but unfortunately, we can't. Mostly because we have friends to help, and we can't be two places at once."
No need, if anything helping those close to you is as important as helping those in need.
With that said, the doorway open and this time they could leave. As everyone gathered their supplies and started to move Martha would be their new companion as the future journey through the cars and worlds as just started.

Mercenary Base - Team 99
When they arrived most of them didn't expect a warm welcome from the Mercenaries, mostly due to their partnership having some strain over these recent years. The most they will be doing is looking towards certain section of the many bases of operations that is station and given through many criminal actions. This mercenary base has pretty good operations of at least hundreds of Mercs led by their leader Claw Dormono, one of the ruthless type of Mercs that has taken on jobs and done with great record (Criminally of course), that has many successful raids, kidnaps, and other sorts. One of the greater reasons that Delta Force is partnership with them is having their entire record erase or allowing them to commit crimes regularly even if they are Military government their own.
For now, though it hasn't been that great as some missions costed them their business then needed. Currently Team 99 is guided by three people in orange and black armor, the one leading the group is human as he is wearing standard human armor with face mask covered helmets and making his own style appearance. The only standard is color armor has to be orange and black as he does come from military training that is dishonored for firing on civilians in one mission. His tale is interesting as he lived for a while a disgraced solider only for one agent of Delta Force recruited him and gave the opportunity to be hired by Mercenaries. At first, he hated it, but started to be dulled sense of honor and peace loving to one of ruthless law breaker and killer when necessary. His name is Carl Micken aka The Impactor carrying a stolen government weapon that has some spikes guns at his wrists covering towards the elbow. It shoots these spikes that have long range and once contact creates invisible force that makes craters out of anything.
The two walking alongside him are one female Irken and male Incursean, both are wearing the standard inform of the mercenaries. The Incursean had orange and black uniform with designs of his own race suits, the only difference is the incursean has scars on its back from a fight surviving what is considered the worst day of his life. The Incursean even had to replace two legs with metal legs that barely do anything unless modified. His name is Gorfa, along with his fellow Incurseans are part of the mercenaries group. While the Irken is indeed small, but she has experience in her belt as invader and raided 3 military ships including escort for some personal job. She prefers to cover her eyes most of the time with either shades or protective googles. The latter is for when she works on the fired using her mecha suit installed in her backpack. Her name is Zeta, simply because she liked the name.
"Seems like you have pretty decent operations." Dagger said leading the team with Burst standing beside as Boombox and Crow stand side by side.
"For the most part, our boss wanted us to be low key on our activities around this galaxy." The Impactor said as he led them through more corridors that showed some stolen goods.
"Right being the Starfleet Federations, that and your species aren't common on this galaxy." Dagger comment as he had his mind on other things.
"No thanks to you lot." Gorfa said as if he could glare at them.
"Do we know you?" Burst asked trying to be friendly but didn't like being accused by this Incursean.
"You and I haven't met before, but I do remember when I was taken by you and the Mercs." He replied showing his hatred towards them.
"He was kidnapped about 5 years ago, in that one mission where the Incursean would have planned something if we didn't intervene. When that happen there were some captured brought alive, you guys split the group captured in half and we took some with us. Gorfa here tried to escape, but those restraint collars are working after for some time. Since then, Gorfa here hasn't tried to bail us even after being forced to slavery. After some time, he manages to gain status within the Mercenary group, some murders, assassinations you know the usual." The Impactor said.
"It was my commander that did some of that stuff, and to be clear you have taken 57 of us. We could only do so little until we prove ourselves, you guys dirtied our hands by innocents of others. If we haven't been working for you and our kind banishing us after many attempts of escape, we wouldn't have these conversations." Gorfa corrected his partner.
"Hey, I can't always tell if some of you guys. The only thing I know is those restraints that are permanently infused in the skin." The Impactor defended himself as they continued walking. Raven had place herself on Dagger's shoulder as he petted her and asked, "I can guess many of you are kidnapped people in this operation?"
"Not all of us, if anything about 90 percent of this entire base is filled with those guys you place restraints. Many refused to live this life and are elsewhere, while those that stayed and worked became actual members. Our leader Claw Dormono is someone you taken prisoner, over the years she was once used for free time by most people but given time she earned her way up and killed anyone that treated her the same like before." Impactor explained as their current leader is someone you don't mess around.
"Ah." Is all Dagger said, he and the others understood what that meant and some like crow and boombox shuddered at the idea what that could have been for anyone. As they made their way through the last set of doors the two escorting them station themselves at the doors as Impactor and Team 99 walk inside to meet with their leader. As they made their way in, it appeared that the leader of this base is talking with someone on the other side. From the way it look the individual is Cybertronian in same color as the other mercenaries. But what is shocking is after the private conversation had finished because of their arrival sat someone in blue color individual that stood out from their surroundings.
Sitting in the chair is a blue pearl known as Gem from Homeworld or gems from different planets if it's to be assume. She actually wears a mixer of orange, black and blue color armor that is thin around the body as some armor is around the upper body with her arms and legs mostly in black color as there is some mixer of blue stripes from certain places like scars from animal attacks. She has long blue hair with aqua like skin as many pearls have long noses, but what is noticeable is her eyes in dark purple as it seems to hold some power behind her appearance.
"What do you want?" She demanded as Claw is not in any mood for today or anyone.
"Members of Delta Force Ma'am, calling themselves Team 99." Impactor said as he stood there waiting on her response.
"Hmm, stay for a moment while we discuss business." She ordered, understanding what she wants he walks up to here and stood aside as he would watch what is to happen. Before saying more, she looked over the group and can make some assumption about who they are and what they want. But considering they are Deltas it was something she will have to wait and see.
"I can assume that you're the leader of this team even though your young." Claw stated as she looks at Dagger with calculating eyes.
"I am Claw." He simply replied as Dagger didn't know if this woman would react or her personality. For the most part it was a matter of who responds and who will strike if anything were to happen.
"Names Dagger leader of team 99 of special forces, since you allowed us in I can guess you been informed of our arrival?" Dagger asked but knew that answer already.
"Yeah, I have but they didn't tell me why your here. On that note, aren't you about 10 years old to be leader of your team?" Claw asked finding this young boy a leader of his team outrageous.
"If I speak nothing, I say would have change your view of me, that and if you want some demonstration. I can kill off any of your mercs you find useless and worthless to your operations." Dagger offered, Claw looked at him and see there was no cockiness or arrogant attitude from him. But simple yes and no type of individual, however since he did offer himself...
"Impactor, send in those guys that have caused us trouble for some time." She asked him, after waiting for at least 3 minutes about three guys came in. All of them are human males and from the looks of it are punk like gangsters with less armor and tattoos in different designs. They looked annoyed and uninterested in what is happening.
"Hey boss, wh-" Before the leading guy could say anything, a silver knife is stabbed into his throat without warning. Two of the guys behind didn't know what happen or could read the situation as they are shocked and horrified by what happen. But looking up as they heard someone ran, they tried to respond yet their barely reached the gun as Dagger attack the guy coming in from the left side as Dagger stabbed the stomach. Then moved away by hiding himself behind the guy attacking as his shield from the right-side guy shooting his friend in panic.
"Oh, the sh-" As the body drop and shock by shooting his comrade. He is stabbed at the left arm by Dagger distracting him as he focuses on the pain and is later tackled by Dagger opening his mouth as he killed the guy by eating his throat. Claw's eyes widen yet maintain her frown expression while Impactor look at what happen and could only mutter in horror and shock by saying, "What the living F!"
As Dagger got up, he removed the blood by drinking it as he licks all of it off except for some stain and smell. He did this facing away and turned to face the two as he walk over without a word towards his team.
"So not only your young leader of your team, of all things a loyalist. Should've known it was the case." Claws said in disgust with darker glare then before as she realizes that despite this team not being experienced and can be killed. The fact remained that agents gave a heads up means they are backup by power and if killed... she didn't even finish or say in her mind because of what might happen.
"You must be a well experience to know that?" Dagger asked as he was curious about who Claw is and background.
"Once I met someone with that attitude, and now I feel you might be worse if given time." Claw stated as she started to calm down a bit.
"That wasn't the intention, more so I rather you didn't treat me the age I am now and we're both good." Dagger said as request.
"I actually understand that feeling, and if that's it then we're good as well." Claw said forgetting already those guys and recent murder as she hated those guys anyway, "Besides you did me a favor by killing them, they had cost us much by throwing random parties, getting drunk on the job and even... shuttering those lustful parties. While I don't agree with the method you still did what was asked without question. So, we are good for now."
"Thank you, ma'am." Dagger said as he gave a nodded in her acknowledgement just as he was doing the same for her.
"Now that was settle, if it wasn't for this galaxy and many authority-like governments crawling this galaxy you lot would have been dead from the spot. As you can imagine our operations runs in secrecy through reports of MIA or KIA if military were involved. I don't want to imagine what they would do if we're discovered. So, make your intentions known or else your done here and now." Claw made her demands not in any mood for any discussions as Impactor stood at the ready with his spikes adjusted for firing at will.
"Then I will get to the point, before your base was selected, we were hoping to at least have two slaves in our charge. Preferably those that can at least fight for themselves, doesn't matter what species or body structure so long as they can fight that's it." Dagger stated his case, but this brought curious glance as Claw's eyes widen from what she just heard. She shook her head as she narrowed her eyes at the group.
"I'm sorry run that by me again for a moment. Did you serious come here which I might add is undiscovered meteor in space that happens to be in hidden location near the moon, next to a populated world that could figure out space travel at any given moment if outside life is discovered. That so happens to be a solar system that is ready to be found at any given moment if any reckless behavior happens among us or allies such as you. Which I might add is literally right next to the secret base of Star Fleet federation that is going around exploring new life, new civilization and whatever the saying goes about 3 solar system away from here that hasn't been found as of yet, at the edge of the galaxy. And you lot have the gull to come here knowing this information?!" From her expression and change of tone it appears they may have come here on bad timing, and they been given either wrong information (Mostly unlikely as they say), or they here for darker reasons.
"If you must know I did personally ask some agents and from what I been informed this place is suitable for our current needs to have two slaves. That and I think he wanted me to say towards you, 'I miss you my shiny nightmare pearl.' along those lin-" Suddenly Dagger moved his left foot away as Claw quickly without warning pulled a hidden blaster and shot towards him on purpose. Base on her glare she wanted to unleash her fury on them, yet barely held some restraint to hold herself from firing at their heads or chest as she gritted her teeth tightly.
"That Sick Ba***rd, I should have known he sent you here to piss me off." Claw rubbed her forehead as she couldn't help feeling a migraine coming from this moment.
"I can assume you have some relationships with that person." Dagger assumed while the others prepared themselves if anything happens, even if there are no hostile moments, bringing your guard down in another territory isn't always the wisest choice.
"...Let's just say he's actually the reason I am here. Every now and then he would send some people like you to send his regards including some pictures of himself. Yet I despise him for simply having me here and enslaved. I cannot even remember what happen in my first years as everything was a blur, but if he ever shows his face here, I will rip his skull from his very mouth. To some degree I would have killed you, but I have known long already that it would have made things worse, that and your restraints are the shattered remains of gem hell. Which is why no matter what I can't kill you lot." Claw then expose her feet and wrist along with her neck showing black rings that became part of the skin. What they do has force many to slavery very quickly and brings defiance to silence.
"Huh, illegal relationship in our own organization." Burst comment out loud as he couldn't be the only one thinking this.
"He's actually she Burst. Since you didn't see her, she actually declared herself a man and isn't in any way breaking the code of opposite gender relationships." Dagger explained, when looking for information he was alone when approached by the agent to this location.
"I must admit, I find that particular rule strange by all means. I get your organization encourages boy x boy and girl x girl relationships, but why against the regular relationship with opposite genders?" Claw asked curious about their regulations.
"It's more about the past actions and how we aren't to make the same mistakes, long story short when that was common genocide and forceful lust was the result. At least that's what been said and recorded." Dagger answered.
"How does that even work with you guys? Seriously you have got to be the evilest bane of creation and non-creation yet have outrageous practice that I ever seen and hear?!" Impactor said in confusion with some insults.
"If we were anyone else that actually be compliments from what you said. So, to make this short if you have no one here we will leave immediately and make sure it's done through the actual method through one phone call." Dagger said showing a device that appears like some collar but is meant for different features like communications and other methods most average people can't use.
"Hmm, since you came all this way, I do have at least some you may be interested. But if I do this, I want you to send a message to him." Claw asked in favor of offering her service.
"Agreed, what is it you want to say?" Claw simply walk up to Dagger as he said this and without warning picked him up and knee him between the legs. Normally that would have made some reaction as all men's weakness, but in Delta Force that weakness isn't born to them.
"Ah, got it." Dagger said bluntly without reaction with a lackluster stare unimpressed by that move. Claw then place Dagger down as she sighs, "You follow me, and I will lead you towards where we keep some of the slaves. Impactor, I leave his team with you. So that you lot know if you screw with me, he and others will be given permission to end you here. Personally, I would have sold you as slaves, but to be frank I rather not considering what happens to any that do." With that said Impactor and Team 99 are to wait for further instruction as they stood waiting for them to return.
As Dagger and Claw had walk through the hallways in silence. Both of them silently gauged each other as both don't have trust for each other. For Dagger it was more so professional standards as he was trained not to trust people even if they are allies, comrades and friends. Of course, that's not always the case as sometimes the training can be ignored in favor of human ability such as judgement calls. For Dagger that pressure is great as he knew being leader is tough and actually want his team to be alive since it's not just him getting killed, but also thinking about his friends Boombox and Crow as both are those, he cared most along with Raven despite he may try to play the cold and calculating boy.
"You seem pretty young for your age." Claw started the conversation, as she wanted to at least gather any details hoping to take advantage of his age.
"About 6 years old if you must know. When I was born, I had a body of 4 years old as it was the right time to awaken from my tube and then start training from there." Dagger clarified.
"You guys sure your not some clone or something?" Claw asked trying to confirm or see if what they say is some lie or truth. That and she didn't like the silence they have going despite the tension as this felt awkward then ever.
"If you mean how we are born then no, we're not clones. If anything, we have the kill switch that literally exterminates clones depending on the range signal. We use this kill switch on anything born artificial as the switch makes quick scan and automatically decides to kill you depending if you are cloned, artificial life, humans that live on other planets claiming as aliens, and more. If I was some clone none of us would exist because of it." Dagger explained as this only confused Claw more then before.
"...Okay. Then how are you born exactly? I heard rumors here and there, but I honestly don't believe it." Claw stated, Dagger looks up seeing how her face showed trying to determine what is truth or deny it.
"What exactly did you hear might I ask? I can confirm it if you like." Silence for a moment as Dagger spoke once more, "If your thinking I would lie to you don't, I gain nothing from this as we having casual conversation here. Nothing you asked about hasn't been classified or hidden that I have no reason to lie or kill."
"Hah, that's a laugh. But if that's the case, then may I ask is it true that human males give up their reproductive organs for the sake of unending pleasure without having a child." Claw asked, as Dagger immediately answered, "Yes."
This made Claw blink and doubletake as she felt shocked and confused then spoke, "Wait, they really do?!"
"I can guess it's hard to imagine why that is for some. To answer your question yes, all human males that are part of the organization give up their abilities to reproduce for offspring. It's came down to what most describe as quote on quote 'A bunch of worthless brats not worth our time and day, there your problem do whatever' is basically all the male donners thoughts. I even watch some of them give up their humanity regardless if they hesitated or instantly did it. There is even rumor of those same males seeing their kids grow up but never adopt them or claim their children forsaking parent hood for their pleasure. While there are other humans in the organization that still have it, most if not all the entire military might are human fathers giving up children for child soldiers." As Dagger explained it made Claw narrow her eyes, almost glaring not at Dagger in hatred but more so the fathers that made the endless cycle of heartless monsters.
"Typical of humans, should have guess they have some excuse from doing the right thing." Claw bitterly said as she hated humanity out of all species.
"I can guess something was done to you-"
"That's none of your concern!" Claw exclaimed, "Now you were saying?"
"Right, anyway after the human males are process all that's left is females from all species including animals but non-human females. There may be some exception but that's sometimes those exceptions. Outside of this, we are told from early on how we are born is simple process but takes much brain power from smartest, cleverest and even genius intelligent that is above exceptions. The first is they surgically remove the wombs from many women captured alive. They make sure not to damage it as it's important to not temper it as they need to place the removed womb in some containment from exposure. Once done they place the womb in some tube filled with actual human blood preserved over time. Once this happens, they used the donated sperms they experimented on to give them proper modifications hence why all of us are modified species still maintaining human blood with some exceptions as we don't have organs to reproduce and are half breeds from another species as advantages." Dagger is then interrupted by Claw as he wanted to asked certain questions.
"That doesn't explain about your age? You say your 6 years old after your born in a 4-year-old body?" Claw pointed out the flaw she sees or more so hasn't been explained.
"That's also explained as well. During training when given free time we get the options of doing whatever we want. I look about how we are born and found that first they allow the womb to hold the child like if a woman was having a baby. Then like many women the water is broken, and it's extracted from the womb using careful tools. Now born as an infant newborn, they leave the child in a tube of blood for certain amount of years. This simulates the womb as the babies are slowly growing inside the tube of blood until they are ready to be released as 5 to 10 years old, exceptions of 4 years old and maybe 11 to 12 year old. This is then followed by 10 year training along with extra training depending on how they progress. Thus that's how we are made." Dagger finished his explanations, As Claw kept her thoughts to herself disgusted by that process and force of children into life of military from birth to death. It's a wonder how Delta Force still operates at this point.
"You say you're at least 6 years old, so what did you do that made you're the exception?" Claw asked, finding this flaw still in question.
"Allegiance." Dagger stated with conviction.
"Allegiance?" Claw asked again.
"When committed to Delta Force it also includes killing traitors/betrayers who leave without punishment. The people I trained with talk of leaving, so I reported this and asked permission to kill them personally. That day I killed all 10 who were younger and older of me regardless of our connections. Since then, called me loyalist for being loyal to the cause." Dagger answered, this darkened Claw's mood as she felt more depressed to greater anger for Delta Force as they turned this child into a monster.
"I see..." She said no more as she and Dagger continued moving on towards their destination.

Bugs and Company - Outside the Cars
As Bugs and Company have left the car, they headed towards the next car, but this time Bugs check the key in his pocket and found that it was slightly glowing as they walk towards the next car.
"Hmm, looks like we may go on another world trip." Bugs spoke to himself as others followed behind. Donald on the other hand is unsure what Bugs is talking about and why this matter for them.
"So, I can guess we're going to another world?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, it looks like it." Bugs said as he put back the key in hand.
"Does this happen every time we go to the next car?" Donald asked unsure if this is necessary for the situation in hand.
"Not sure, we just started, and we have no way of returning back. So, for now we have to keep moving." Bugs said as he and the others headed towards the door. Donald stops for a moment as he didn't know if this is something they should be doing. While there are times it was okay, but for Donald it wasn't his current concern as what happen with Bluto and his gang are doing to the Disney Castle is bringing many thoughts. But not wanting to be left behind Donald followed behind them. First was Popeye who confidently walk through the door not knowing what is to come. Next comes Mr. G&W as he 8-bit walk through the door the same as his game counterpart, then came Bugs along with Jerry who is standing on his shoulders as the two waited for Donald to follow behind. With this Bugs took on last look and felt this could get screwy for this next world.

Unknown World/New York City - Elmer Fudd
Somewhere in a city of New York, there walking by himself is a short man among the many people who are busy and actively trying to find the group that could be located on this world by some chance. As he started searching around the place, he looked at the audience and said his famous words, "Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits." as he started to search around New York City. This man that is looking for wabbits is Elmer Fudd, everyone he passed by look at him weird and even asked for autographs as he said these famous words.
As the screen looks towards the sky a rain forest is being place with sun raise in the background.
From the sun raise many trees of the rain forest started to fuse together with city skyscrapers.
About 4 skyscrapers are seen rising with vines and trees combining the city life and jungle life into one.
Then shadowy figures of Lion, Zebra, Hippo, and Giraffe running on two legs as many animals started to appear with words in gold trims and wood letters...
Jungle City
In another scene Bugs and Company came through the doorway that was some Janitor closet, but also came is the change all of them would experience. For Bugs he actually became a regular size bunny and rabbit mixer from the regular eye. Same is said about Donald Duck who no longer has his shirt or other items on hand but is a regular duck as his wings are normal. Then for Jerry he is the same size, but now walks on four legs instead of two as some brown furry mouse. Mr. G&W had the greatest of change as he now appears like some short man with white color skin, wears some gray suit as you could see some black shirt underneath from the upper body. While Popeye remained the same with only except as he appears muscular when seeing his arms, still wearing the same clothes but more human appearance then his cartoon form.
"Huh this feels different." Bugs said as he looks at himself wiggling his hands and toes.
"QUACK! I feel ridiculous!" Donald said as he tried out his new form in the world. It looks like he could still have hands on his wings, but from the look of it appears like some feathers as hand instead of actual fingers. Jerry went up and climbed on top of Donald as he didn't want to stay on the ground as much. That and if they had to run would have to hold on for his life. Mr. G&W examine his new form and found that his body is like an 3d model made in computers for character design or something. But still maintains some of his quicks as his abilities are now made real in different ways.
"Looks like we may be in for a long ride this world." Popeye said as they were about to leave.
"Hey, you! What are you doing with those animals!" Someone shouted as they turned the group realize that this world has strict policy with animals on the loose, especially wild ones. Doanld shouted and started to run with Jerry on his back. Bugs also muttered 'uh oh' as he run following behind Donald. Popeye and Mr. G&W followed behind them. It didn't take long for the group to find the doors outside and realize where they are located.
"We're at a zoo?!" Bugs comment as they return to the chase. Passing by some of the animals and people Donald shouted scaring some and making others move away from them. They ran for a bit before Bugs called out, "Split up!" As Bugs and Popeye went the one way towards the left side while the others Donald, Jerry and Mr. G&W went the other. At this point only one or two people in zoo uniform started to chase after them.
For Bugs and Popeye, the man tried to keep up only for Popeye and Bugs to keep outrunning him as the zookeeper bump into people and even ran over someone by accident. As this happen Popeye and Bugs found themselves a hiding spot as while this was a crowd people, most of them didn't bother as they were busy with their own lives or just didn't care as the former is most likely the case. Popeye had in hand a newspaper and sat at one of the benches, bringing it up to hide him and Bugs as the zookeeper ran pass them. They lowered it down to see the guy is gone and relax.
For Jerry, Donald and Mr. G&W, all three of them had ran for sometimes away from another zookeeper as she tried to do the same only for them to outrun and outsmart the zookeeper for the time being. Dealing with the same problem the zookeeper couldn't keep up and trip most of the time as she tried to do her job as the chase continued. But in quick thinking like many cartoons chases Donald and Jerry jump into one of the cages hiding themselves while Mr. G&W went towards the bathroom away from them. The zookeeper ran past them as Mr. G&W relax after he slowly look out to find everything is okay. Of course, without realizing it Donald by accident ran into the lion cage and quickly escape intact away from people's sight towards the trash can. Afterwards sighs as he relaxes along with Jerry on his back.
10 minutes later
"Well, that wasn't fun." Donald said as all of them are sitting on the bench. Both Popeye and Mr. G&W held up newspaper to give cover while Donald, Jerry and Bugs hide behind them.
"It could be worse; be glad you didn't have to do stunts like I did randomly appearing out of nowhere for random encounters and situations. The good old days." Bugs said as he remembered the good times.
"That doesn't help us Bugs, if anything I don't know what we're doing here? One moment we're on the train and somehow, we're on another world!?" Donald said not liking the situation they are now.
"Well, that's all we got Don. After losing our gummi ship we didn't have a choice and travel to worlds randomly. All we have are these keys as our means of transportation." Bugs showed the key, and it was clear that this was their means of transportation.
"I get that part, but why can't we use that power and return to our friends somehow?" Donald questioned.
"Then do you know how to use it?" Bugs said offering the key, there was silence as crickets started to make noise at the question.
"...Ah no. But we can't just keep jumping from one world to another when we should be returning back with the others and find a way to counter Bluto and his goons." Donald made his point not liking they are randomly jumping from world to world by some powerful force they have no control.
"Unfortunately, that's all we have for the time being. But I can say even if we could get back, there is the matter of the gummi ship parts and necessary pieces for all of us. I don't know about you, but I can say that all of us aren't going to fit in one Gummi Ship. So even if we get back, we will need at least enough gummi parts for at least maybe three ships, including more parts for those that are scattered to other worlds." Bugs said as he could think of many possible things that could go wrong.
"...Ah Phooey, your right. But we can't keep jumping from one world to another like this all the time." Donald argued, but then they quiet down as staff of the zoo are looking around for those wild animals.
"We'll have to be careful with this world, seems like wild animals talking and doing things aren't natural for these people." Popeye warned as he kept watch for any trouble that may come their way.
"For now, we'll have to wait until closing time. Afterwards we can look around the world and try to find a key or one of our friends." Bugs stated their plans as they may be here for some time unlit it was night.

Nighttime in New York City
After waiting for long time avoiding the zookeepers they easily sneak out since most likely no one would pay attention or care about average wildlife in the city except for predators which is understandable since most predators would try and kill you if given a chance. Currently they are sitting in the park near a light where they wouldn't be surprised. while normal people would be worried and not do this in nighttime, they can handle themselves easily. As they sat on the bench as two adults with animals around them.
"Well, this may take a while to figure out this world, I don't remember things being this loud and noisy?" Popeye said as he looks at the busy city that never sleeps.
"Eh you got to remember doc; this place is around the future world that has changed. After all nothing stays the same even if it feels weird." Bugs admitted the last part to himself as there are something he finds weird about the world today than before.
"Still, this is a large city. How do you supposed to find something we don't even know why we are here?" Donald asked. Knowing this will not be easy expedition.
"Hmm, good point don. But maybe that is the point." This had everyone looking at him as he then said, "What if this was some situation where even if we want a reason to travel to these worlds, then it be some excuse instead of going to these worlds by chance and wanting. I mean sometimes if you just go because your needed it would seem like you don't like going to those worlds or places. Then again some have good reasons not to so either/or I guess." As Bugs said what could be logical reason for them being here can also be here for other reasons even if there was none from the start. Donald relented realized that perhaps sometime not everything has a purpose or reason to be there and sometimes you just chose to go there.
"Well, I can't argue with that logic. But we might be here for some time if we can't find what we're looking for." Donald pointed out as so far things appear random right now and with the situation remaining unresolved it only grows his concerns.
"Point taken. Come on fellas we got work to do." Popeye said as he led the pack of woodland creatures and one strange yet shady dude into New York city.

Nighttime - Elmer Fudd
As he explored the city Elmer Fudd wasn't exactly sure what he is looking for, nor did he know if this world will have any of those people they are supposed to be searching for as of late. Oh, sure Pete and Bluto told them who they are trying to capture, but even if they could that be asking cartoon characters who have a record of always failing to catch or kill certain characters in their shows. For someone like Elmer Fudd he felt that he should have some backup at the moment but resisted the idea as Pete... gave his gift to them. In that moment Elmer Fudd had this feeling of wanting to unleash the heartless of this world, as the darkness tried to tempt him as such. Pete has mention this and instructed what they should do. Eventually it became easy as Elmer Fudd felt okay for the time being.
"Jeez this place is big like any other city. As much as I like hunting, doing it in some place where people are around isn't something I should be doing. I know that we're to hunt those guys, but how can I when this entire city is average." Elmer talk to himself, but suddenly from nowhere a Zebra came walking as Elmer Fudd took notice of it.
"Oh, hello Zebra." Elmer greeted.
"Why hello their short man. Names Marty by the way." The Zebra greeted back.
"Oh a sorry, but nice to meet you." Elmer said as he started to walk again, but as soon as Elmer took couple steps away his brain made him freeze in place as he slowly turned with one foot up and one foot down as he didn't imagine what he heard and seen now.
"A talking Zebra?!" Elmer muttered, suddenly his hunter instincts from his cartoon show started to kick in. As he grew crazy eyes and pulled out his gun he aimed at the Zebra, but not before someone screamed next to him as he turned and accidently fired at the glass where all of them started to scream. The Zebra turned around to see Elmer has pulled out a gun, and then grinned pointing towards him.
"Oh crud!" Marty shouted as he moved away in time as Elmer fired and missed but had hit a car driving by as people inside are okay with the exception of broken glass.
"OOOOOOOOh~ a hunting we will go, a hunting we will go, high ho merri-oh a hunting we will go!" But before he moved on Elmer looks at the audience to say, "Don't worry folks, nobody gets killed in this chapter and this is still Fanfic." Then went back onto the chase as Elmer Fudd started to shoot at the Marty.

Nighttime - Exploring New York City
After the zoo close for the night everyone got out and ready to explore the world. So far nothing seems out of the ordinary except for the people of this world. Maybe that was their imagination but so far when Bugs or Donald talks in public it resulted in bad reaction as everyone freak out since Bugs isn't something that should be talking or is Donald for that matter. But outside of that Mr. G&W earned some looks from people that didn't like him or stayed away as far as they could. Overall they weren't going to find anything out of the ordinary. They stop around the back alley, but where they could still see the street and people as they knew back alleys aren't nice places.
"Hah, looks like we maybe hitting a dead end." Donald said sighing as he didn't know what they should do now.
"Maybe we need to look somewhere else, perhaps we're not looking at the right place. Maybe it's somewhere else or maybe we are sent here for another reason." Popeye said as he figured.
"Your right Pop, if anything the last world had us find you and we didn't get the key that time." Bugs said as he look at Donald.
"Wait, you mean that you were guided to the world I was located by this key?" Donald asked, they nodded as this confirmed it. But this opened some ideas as Donald started to think about what this meant.
"Hmm, this is a theory. But if this key is what lead you guys to me on that world, then maybe we will find the others the same way. I would try to attempt to use some magic, but I get the feeling it would be dangerous for reasons forbidden to use." Donald said as he held the key and started to feel threaten from any attempt use of magic.
"Eh best you don't mess with stuff you don't understand Doc. Somethings are left unsaid instead of tempering with them." Bugs advised as he and others look around the city where people are walking and minding their own business.
But before they could think of what to do next, they soon heard people screaming and running away from something that is appearing to attack others. They went the opposite direction where people are running away as they soon reach their destination. What they find is something that is... weird. First is that the heartless did appear once again, but this time they aren't trying to attack the people. If anything, they are actually attacking the animals of this world. They see this as while the heartless are being oddly more destructive than before, they only try to attack when animals are involved. Namely pets, wildlife in America and any other pets that could be in zoos.
"...Ah." Donald could say as he stared at this odd scene.
"Huh, I know that they are heartless. But the fact they haven't even tried to attack people is... odd." Bugs also comments.
"Hey, let's not doze off, we have work to do." Popeye said as he charged in attacking the closes heartless, he could find. The types of Heartless in this battle are normally Shadows, Soldiers, Air Soldiers and Large Body. But then there are new types as it seems they have taken command of this fight as it seems they are telling the heartless to take the animals to them. Even more is they have some wild animal like pet beside them keeping the other heartless in line. They appear both feline and canine like animals, but it seems they are more for guarding and attacking when necessary.
As soon as Popeye destroyed the first heartless the others soon turned to them as they saw the animals and started their attack on them. It soon became clear that regardless of the change motives of these heartless that they will have to fight anyway. But what happen next had Popeye confused as the heartless just ran pass him and Mr. G&W to attack the animals.
"What the?" Is what Popeye could say as the others like Jerry the Mouse, Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny ended up running or fighting for their lives.

Zonimal Keeper - Emblem Heartless
Threat Level: Gray - C
Strength: Average
Abilities: Capture and Contain
Offense: Average
Defense: Average
Weakness: Immediating roars
Description: While not the most threating of the bunch, the Zonimal Keeper is still a threat to animals instead. Normally the people are the target for the heartless, yet for these types they hunt down animals because this world functions differently from the rest. Animals having intelligence can have hearts of their own, while technically all have hearts even if mindless, for this case it seems these animals are hearts similar to people. The Zonimal Keeper have the appearance of Zookeepers, they wear gray shirts and purple pants along with blue skin added with yellow eyes. They carry with them Ketch-all catch poles, but unlike most of them used for catching dogs. It can change form into many ways, such as changing into a net that can expand or shrink in size. It is also used for electrocuted targets that try to escape or weaken targets. Even has a blow dart that shoots without firing air into the stick. Their greatest strength comes from when concerned they can cry out for help, and they multiply in numbers. As long as one remains, they can call for help when given breathing room.
Feheart and Caheart
Threat Level: Gray - D
Strength: Average
Abilities: Tail strikes
Offense: High
Defense: Average
Weakness: Common knowledge of Dogs and Cats
Description: They are the dog and cat version of heartless. But in this case the wolf to either lion, tiger or other similar animals. The canine looks like a wolf with long razor teeth covering portion of the mouth from the outside. They have blue with dark navy underbelly like many canines and have purple collars with small silver dots that are metal, the tail is fluffy but has nasty surprise for them. They have clear yellow eyes and appear twitchy as they are itching for a fight. The other is some feline cat half the size of many lions, tigers and so on as they are slightly bigger than its canine counterpart. They are covered in both stripes on the upper half along with spots for the lower half colored in yellow, as most of the fur is Magenta. They have yellow eyes with one long tooth on the left size, they have tails that act more like whips. Both of them are seen working under the Zonimal Keeper as tamed animals that were once wild but are controlled. If the Zonimal Keepers are gone so will the command over these beasts.
Contain and destroy
Ready?
FIGHT!
As Popeye saw them change and attack the animals instead of him. He grabbed the largest guy he could find and halted his movement as the Large Body turned to him.
"Ignoring me will you." Popeye said while spinning the Large Body around like some spinning top and then tossed him towards Bugs, Donald and Jerry as they had to jump aside as the Large Body is uncontrolled by someone using its body size and power for his uses. This help destroy some of the heartless as all three of them escape. Mr. G&W is able to move different now in this world as like a short man with martial arts abilities. Jump kicking and punching including some palm attacks as Mr. G&W got used to his body very quickly and knew that some of these moves, he couldn't do in his original body.
Yet while those two have easy time defeating the heartless Bugs, Donald and Jerry had their own problems. For Bugs he felt more restricted as he had to rely on regular animal attack like jump kick using his feet more. But that became a downer as Bugs realize he wasn't strong enough to do damage to the shadow heartless as he should be doing. This also resulted in Bugs shouting and running for his life as he couldn't fight back as much as he wanted saying out loud, "Ah shoot, I don't have the necessary strength to actually hurt them."
Donald also had the same problem as Jerry could only hold on for his dear life. In his mouse form Jerry was a liability as he couldn't fight normal or run away like his cartoon form as this restricted him in many ways. Donald had little to no success as he tried to peck on the Shadow heartless and failed in this effort. As this happen Donald and Bugs are taken while Jerry tried to free himself from the shadow heartless grasp.
"QUACK! PUT US DOWN, PUT US DOWN!" Donald shouted in fury. Popeye and Mr. G&W couldn't help as the heartless started to notice them as threat and tried to attack them. Mostly the Zonimal Keepers who used their tamed beast Feheart and Caheart to attack them. But suddenly from nowhere the three heartless are smack from behind holding Bugs, Donald and Jerry.
"Get down!" Someone shouted as what appears to be some penguin standing there holding what appears to be some metal fork. What happen is he tosses it up and with his small orange feet kick the metal fork towards the shadow heartless holding Bugs and struck the head. This actually affected the shadow heartless as this made it disappear easily.
"Rico deploy dark spot maneuver!" The Penguin said, The Penguin named Rico while he looks the same the difference is personality as one glance is enough to say he's both crazy and energetic if anyone were to guess. What happen was the Penguin named Rico had some fire extinguisher strapped on the back with another penguin holding the hose end as they shoot with some difficulty at the Heartless that surprise the two-shadow heartless as Bugs, Donald and Jerry escape the heartless grasp. But more heartless shadows started to appear as the same number of animals there are now.
"Not enough, eh? Kowalski options." The appeared Leader asked another penguin who is named Kowalski. From the order of tallest to smallest, Kowalski is definitely taller than all the penguins, followed by Rico as he appears slightly taller than the leading Penguin and the smallest of the bunch who hasn't said a word yet.
"It appears that our attack maneuver wasn't enough, we may have to force ourselves into hand-to-hand combat Skipper." Kowalski advised.
"Then we will do this old school. Rico battering weapons, and some for these civilians." Skippered ordered as Rico started to gag and try to spit something out that appears to be many objects this penguin somehow swallowed. As this happen Popeye had their backs and he used other heartless shadows to throw them and attack the looming shadow heartless that tried to take down Bugs, Donald, Jerry and the Penguins.
"You three, time to show what the bottom of the food chain can really do in a fight for survival." Skipper said as he more shadow heartless started to appear as Rico manage somehow in impossible ways spit out seven objects that made Bugs, Donald and Jerry feeling disgust. The seven objects in hand are Crowbar for Skipper, flashlight for Kowalski, small thread needle for Jerry, Needle Nose for Bugs, Red Wrench for Rico, and screw driver for their fourth Penguin.
"Hey what about me?!" Donald shouted.
"Eh I have your weapon." Bugs teased despite the situation holding a fork to Donald's mouth.
"A FORK!" Then out of nowhere some random heartless tackled Donald and by accident rip his tail feathers from his bottom.
"Why you!" Donald then in fit of rage grabbed the fork and attack like an angry duck and peck them using the fork holding in his duck bill.
"And that's boys are why you never underestimate any birds of the feather. Now then prepare for operation dark sweep! Private you stay close this time." Skippered ordered.
"Aye, Aye Skipper." Private said obeying his commands.
The others soon joined as the battle ensues. Skipper with the Crowbar started to attack the heartless that came towards them with surprisingly good skills as he twirls around and twist like his crowbar is some Bo staff. Rico gone ham on the shadow and soldier heartless that joined the mix as he bashed more heads and possible skulls, if possible, on the heartless without restrict and control. Kowalski used his smarts by blinding the heartless by the surprise flash and then attack them using the flashlight to surprise the heartless with sudden light towards the eyes and knock them down, while private stick close to everyone and supported his teammates. Jerry supported Bugs as Donald went off in feathery fury as both used the tools to defeat what remains of the heartless.
But as for Popeye and Mr. G&W they manage to defeat the heartless without too much effort as they had little problem to deal with them. But when the Zonimal Keepers left running away along with Feheart and Caheart. The rest also disappeared and left the group in question.
"Well that was new? Bugs, Donald, Jerry you boys okay?" Popeye asked as he ran to them along with Mr. G&W.
"Hold on, who are you human and are you the owner of these animals?" Skippered asked narrowing his eyes.
"No but we are their friends if that means anything?" Popeye said not immediated by the Penguin.
"Hold on, you can understand us?" Kowalski asked as he's curious why they understood him and not everyone else.
"No time we need to make sure these dark fiends don't attack any innocent animals." Skipper ordered the others.
"Wait!" Some of them tried shouting. But the Penguins ran off sliding on their bellies as they slide towards somewhere.
"Well, that's great, the one clue we have and they went up and off without us." Donald sarcastically said frustrated with them and their situation.
"Hmm, I wouldn't bet on it. Where they are going is exactly where those heartless, we didn't get to fight started running off. The penguins unknowingly are headed the same direction as where those heartless are heading." Popeye pointed out. This made Donald place his wing over his bill and slide down if he was more cartoon like.
"Why couldn't I get hands like all you guys?" Donald asked out loud.
"Rule of the world I guess, but we better catch up to those Penguins. Come on." Following Popeye as he also grabbed some duffle bag for something in mind.

Grand Central Station - Marty's Location
While this was going on Marty the Zebra is being chased all around the city as Elmer Fudd not only scared some people and avoided shooting them as he didn't want too. But unknowingly unleashed the heartless that are going out of control as they are chasing animals around the city and zoos. What is surprising is how Elmer is still an awful shooter as he missed every time like his cartoon shows. While sure he would have some hits on something including places where people screamed out loud, but overall he didn't mean any harm.
"Dang it, he just doesn't quit." Marty shouted as he ran mostly towards where he was supposed to head for (Ironically) as he ran for his life from a craze. Fortune enough no one was around to get hurt by the hunter and the dark creatures that now roam the streets. But Marty didn't know this as he was running from the crazy hunter then is chasing him. But once he did arrive Marty didn't know what he should do next as he was cornered by more heartless appearing. The Zonimal Keeper appeared surrounding Marty along with the Feheart and Cahearts blocking his path. There are at least 7 Zonimal Keepers surrounding Marty along with two set of Fehearts and Cahearts beside the Zonimal Keepers. Alongside them are additional heartless as 20 shadows, 12 soldiers and 7 large body's in case something were to happen.
"Whoa are you guys that night crawlers? I thought it was a myth?" Marty said as he's surprised to see the heartless that seems to gain some reputation.
"Oh, I got him, I got him." Elmer shouted for joy as he chuckled.
"Alright you Zebra, tell me where that wasically wabbit is and I will not blast you?" Elmer demanded as he grinned with his gun pointed at the Zebra from a distance near the stairway.
"Um I think you mean rabbit." Marty tried to point out only for Elmer to silence him.
"Don't play your mind games with me Zebra, now tell me where your friend is, and I won't shoot by the count of 10." Elmer warned as he stood close enough to point his gun at Marty's face.
"Hold it right there, you terrorize hunter fiend!" Skipper shouted as he and his team appeared on top of the steps as Elmer and Marty looked up.
"I don't know why you are in league with these night crawlers, but I won't let you hurt or hunt any animal not as long as we are here." Skipper declared as he and the other penguins prepared themselves holding the weapons they are carrying now.
"Well what do you know, a talking penguin!" Elmer said as he's surprise by them talking.
"Well of course they can talk, I mean you're talking to me right." Marty said as if this was common knowledge.
"Really? So, people can understand other animals like you guys?" Elmer asked confused by this realization.
"Enough talk, we know that somehow certain humans have been involved with these Night Crawls and now one of the agents has finally appeared. Kowalski, explanation" Skipper turned to his second in command to explain what they know.
"When we were trying to escape the zoo, we have uncovered a secret sect of people who have created what we know as night crawlers. At first, they appeared in small numbers making no attention to themselves, but what is interesting is how they didn't attack people but animals. In that we concluded that somehow in the governments they have perfected a weapon that keeps animals in check and caged in zoos away from the wild. In short your an agent that is know as Z.O.O. aka Zealst, Organized, Organism, dedicating your life in the shadows to caged animals and destroying all wild life on the planet." Kowalski finsihed.
"Exactly." Skipper said smiling, this left Elmer, Marty and somehow heartless confused as they twicthed and swing their heads back and forth sometimes.
"Uhhhhh..." Elmer turned feeling awkward and hoping that Marty would have an answer.
"Hey, don't look at me buddy, I don't know crazy when I see them." Marty stated. But then Elmer is attack from behind as something mushy and brown smack behind his head with a strange smell. This got some reaction as Elmer felt really gross and pissed off as he turned to face chimpanzees that are in disguise using some gentlemen suit as both of them are together to appear like some person.
"I do say Phil that was uncalled for. If you're going to hit someone, make sure target the mouth or their face at least if you're going to throw poo at them." One of them said as he talks to the other named Phil who used sign language to speak.
"Well of course you can still throw poo at his hat if that's your aim." He said to Phil.
"Wait, you just throw poo at my head?!" This halted Elmer's brain for a moment.
"Correction sir, we throw you our own poo that is on your face. But I must say you're the first human to understand us." Before more can be said, Skipper and the team of penguins took this moment to attack.
"Skipper, do you have a plan?" Private asked before they join the battle.
"No plan means good plan Private. Now stay close and attack." Skipp made his first swing and struck the closes heartless to find. As the Penguins are ready to attack, the Chimpanzees went into hiding as they rushed out from the battle that would have happened in that moment. Distracted from the Penguins surprise attack, Elmer unknowingly ordered the heartless to attack the Penguins. As the battle ensued so that others that would eventually join them.

Bugs and Company - crossing through the streets
As Bugs and Company manage to navigate through the city, they spotted some heartless seeming to ignore them in favor of traveling towards another location. This had Bugs and Company wonder where they are heading in such a hurry. But considering that some Penguins have actually fought the heartless they can at least assume what happen.
"It would seem our Penguin friends may be in deep trouble if that is where all the heartless are heading." Bugs comment as he was actually carried by Mr. Game and Watch along with Jerry beside him. Popeye is also carrying Donald as they figure they could move faster if they didn't try and running towards the Penguins since they slide all the way making them faster than Bugs and Company.
"Well at least we know they can take care of themselves. I'm actually more concern is why the heartless didn't attack or consume the hearts of people? Isn't that what heartless do on any world?" Popeye questioned as they made their way towards the destination.
"There are probably more things we don't understand about the heartless. But we can't bother trying to understand everything if we have to focus on somehow save those penguins." Donald said as he and others continue to focus on the goal in mind. However, right when they are about to continue running, they are halted by screams of... animals as they spotted three animals that are surrounded by heartless around them. Again, they saw the heartless have more interest in animals then people as there are people around them yet are ignored in favor of animals, why that is they don't know.
"It's happening again?" Popeye said as he looked over there.
"Worry later, fight now!" Bugs shouted as they went to engage the heartless.
While they are running towards the three animals that are Lion, Hippo and Giraffe. The three animals are fearful, actually the giraffe is fearful while the Hippo was ready to rumble, and the Lion is more unsure about their odds. The heartless are more simplistic to only 5 Large Body's surrounding the three animals, at least 20 Soldiers for support and 30 Shadows as cannon fodder.
"The rumors are true; Night Crawlers do exist." The Giraffe shouted in fear as he couldn't stand still for one moment before twitching all over the place.
"Come on Melman, get a hold of yourself. If we're to escape out of this alive." The Hippo told the Giraffe known as Melman.
"You see, this is why we are to stay in the zoo. I hope Marty didn't get caught by these things." The Lion worriedly said as he's more concern for his friends than ever.
"It won't matter if we don't escape out of this mess." The Hippo pointed out while keeping her eyes on the heartless they call night crawlers.
Warning!
Warning!
Heartless engage!
Recuse the Animals!
Ready?
FIGHT!
As Popeye made the first move by grabbing Donald and throw him like a dodgeball. Towards the first shadow heartless, Popeye then block one soldier from kicking him using his right arm and grabbing the soldier heartless with his left and starting to swing the heartless like some baseball bat. As the Large Body spotted them one charge towards them. Bugs and Jerry jump off with Bugs moving away as Jerry held onto Bugs. Mr. G&W moved away in time as the Large Body ran pass them. The other animals notice them as some of the heartless started to acknowledge the threat and half of them changed targets.
"Who are those guys?" The Lion asked as he saw them fighting the heartless.
"Never mind that we need to take care of these guys." The Hippo said as she charges the same way, slamming into another large Body that actually block her attack as the Hippo slide back fazed by what happen. Before the heartless could grab or attack, Popeye joined the fight as he had jumped and smashed his foot on the Large Body's head. In this moment the Heartless started to be active for at least 5 soldiers grabbed hold of Melman, two on the neck and three around the body as he screamed "Danger" more the once.
The Lion moved out of the way as all he did was avoid them with caution and then attack in annoyance as he smack shadow heartless away annoyed by their efforts. While the one Large Body tried to avenger their comrade, the other attack the Hippo as she decided to block this time by standing still. It was a power struggle as he held both heartless arms and planted herself on the ground dragging her feet as the heartless is proving too much for her. But with much unseen strength she manages to hold the heartless back and lifted up the Large Body with some struggle as it was tossed aside with much effort on her part.
The others using the weapons the penguins gave them Donald was one angry mean duck as he pecks with his bill and stabbing the heartless very fast. Bugs and Jerry became a team combo as Bugs would strike one shadow heartless while Jerry also has his back when defending his back and sometimes stab the heartless to finish them off. This was seen as Bugs swing against two shadow heartless with Jerry jumping off Bugs back as he ran on all four while holding onto the needle thread. Then jump off when some of the heartless are destroyed as he landed on one heartless and stabbed it one the head. Then Bugs came in grabbing Jerry and place him on his back once more as Jerry defended his back once more.
Mr. G&W had led the Large Body in some wild goose chase as he made it believe that he's incapable fighting when in reality he ran around the battlefield as the Large Body heartless plowed through many smaller heartless crushed by larger heartless. When it seemed enough Mr. G&W using the new body to backflip impressively over the Large Body heartless and jump from behind as he smashed the Large Body's head. As this went on the battle against the heartless wasn't as bad as they started to vanish with the three animals left alone for now.
"Seriously who are those guys?" Melman asked now wondering how they fought the Night Crawlers.
"Who cares, we need to save Melman before those things and police find Marty." The Lion reminded everyone why they are here.
"But Alex maybe they can-" Melman is interrupted by the Lion.
"No Melman we can't rely on them. We don't even know why they are fighting those things, so let's go and quickly." The Lion known as Alex stated.
"Alex is right, let's get going before more craziness happens." The Hippo said as both her and Alex started to run off before Melman look back and towards his friends.
"I better follow them, don't want Gloria to be caught by the Night Crawlers." Melam muttered to himself as he followed by Alex the Lion and The Hippo named Gloria behind them. As they left Bugs noticed this and he then shouted, "Hey guys, those three animals left us!" Everyone heard this as Popeye and Mr. G&W finished the fight. This had Popeye grumbled in annoyance as he saw them leave.
"Come on, we need to catch up with them." Popeye shouted as Donald is grabbed by Popeye while Mr. G&W is jumped on by Bugs with Jerry holding onto Bugs. The Party ran towards where the three animals are heading as see what is happening. This led to a chase from behind for at least 1 to 2 minutes at best. They eventually came towards the Grand Central station where those three animals are heading. Before they followed Sirens are heard from behind as Popeye and Mr. G&W went towards the streets as it seems the chaos that is happening is finally being taken care of now.
"This isn't good." Is all Bugs comment as this night wasn't a great night at all.

Grand Central Station - Marty the Zebra, Chimpanzees, and Penguins fight for survival
While the battle with the penguins is going on against the heartless that many are mistaking as Night Crawlers. Elmer joined the fight as he used his gun to shoot the Penguins trying to get them but is very poor shooter as he couldn't hit them with a broad side of the barn door. Marty however tried to escape as he back kick some of the heartless that got too close while the Chimpanzees are being pulled. For several minutes it was a standstill as the Penguins manage to help Marty escape with some smart hit and run tactics. As everyone is eventually gathered in one circle as all seven of them are trapped. Now all 7 Zonimal Keepers surrounded all of them with less heartless than before, yet the
"There's too many Skipper!" Private said as he seemed nervous.
"Fear not Private, we made it out of many nasty situations before." Skipper assures Private.
"And how many situations have you pretend you got out might I ask?" The Chimpanzee asked while Phil look at them with the same expression.
"Stow its Mason. Now's not the time." Skipper demanded as he and his team prepared themselves.
"Well, if anyone has a plan now would be a very good time to share it!" Marty said wanting not to be killed tonight.
"None of you going to escape." Elmer said chuckling.
"Now I am going to be asking you animals some question, but this time I expect you to answer." Elmer demanded as he prepared his gun to fire.
"You can ask all the questions you want agent, but we won't talk." Skipper said dramatically as he remained strong regardless of the situation.
"We'll see about-" Elmer is then interrupted by someone shouting.
"You Boy!" Elmer turned to see some old lady walking towards him.
"What do you think you're doing?" She demanded from Elmer.
"Oh, ah hello Miss-"
"You bad boy!" She then from nowhere proceed to grab Elmer arm and kicked him between the legs, this caused him pain as Elmer couldn't think straight. Then he felt more pain from the old lady punching his face five times as she then proceeds to punch him in the stomach, bash his lower jaw with her knee, punching his chest and pepper spray his eyes as Elmer couldn't stop what is happening. One of the Zonimals went to assist that is beside Elmer as it felt the same thing happen to Elmer along with both Feheart and Caheart are tackled and bashed their heads together.
"Lady, what is wrong with you?" Elmer Fudd asked in pain as he tried to stand.
"MARTY!" Everyone heard shouting as Alex, Gloria and Melman arrived but not before Elmer heard sirens behind them.
"The Cops, EVERYONE SCATTER!" Elmer shouted as all the heartless started to vanish and leave the room with only animals and the old Lady behind.
"Marty, you're alright!" Alex shouted as he tackled Marty happy to see he's alive.
"We were so worried for you." Gloria joined as she and others were afraid something bad happen.
"Don't worry about it, I had some help from these guys." Marty said looking down as he was grateful for them.
"No need to thank us ma'am, we're just doing what we do best." Skipper said.
"You! You're the guys that gave Marty some crazy ideas!" Alex accused them with his... paw finger.
"Hey, relax they just save my life." Marty said in the Penguins defense, but before they could speak more cops and animal control appeared surrounding them from all sides and exit.
"Ah this doesn't look good." Melman said uncertain what they should be doing.
"Relax, everything going to be a-okay." Gloria assured if only they knew what was to happen tonight.

Bugs and Company - Outside of Grand Central Station
After few minutes the policemen started to drag out the animals as it appears they have been unconscious by no doubt animal control handled the situation.
"Well, that's just great, one night on this world and already everything went to heck too quickly." Donald grumbled.
"Hmm, maybe we should follow those guys. You know because it seems like they may need help." Bugs advised.
"And Why should we do that? We have our own mission, not saying we should. But what if this leads to some wild goose chase?" Donald asked.
"I don't, but those Penguins and those animals maybe our best lead to what is going on in this world. Beside I got a hunch that they may need us as much as we need them." Bugs said as he then looks at the audience to also say, "Plot convenience if you call it?"
"What makes you so sure of that?" Donald questioned not having seen or ignored what Bugs comment.
"Well mostly I want to know what those Penguins know, since they called those heartless Night Crawler's I'm curious why they are called that." Bugs said curious about why the heartless aren't called heartless.
"Ah Phooey, that's just the world's residents trying to name something they have no understanding." Donald stated as fact for why heartless aren't called heartless on this world.
"Well, the talking animals also helps that this world is different." Bugs added since that isn't normal as many would believe.
"Regardless we should get going because we have no leads, no idea what to do and we should keep an eye on them. If anything, heartless don't stop unless they capture those hearts. Plus, we may find the heartless boss of this world." Popeye also included as knowing the heartless failed could try and again.
"...Ah alright, but if you guys are wrong, I will rub this in your face." Donald said smirking.
"Right doc. Come on fellas." Bugs got on Mr. G&W as he allowed Bugs and Jerry to be on his body while Popeye carried Donald and Duffle Bag along for emergency.

Meanwhile - Elmer Fudd's Location
After escaping the place Elmer Fudd went towards some motel for short stay. He stayed there are he pace around trying to figure out what he should do next. So far, he is discovering that while the animals can talk in this world, it's not to the point of understanding them. This puts to question this and other things, he'll need to find some answers as he knows doubts that something is off about this world and right now, he has no answers of his own.
Outside of this the entire city is in chaos and everyone is trying to find answers and regain some sense of self as the heartless attack left them concern and fearful. This left New York city scrambling to fix what is happening as it will take some time before deciding on anything else. Specifically the transfer of animals as it was put in the backburner for a moment in favor of restoring order and great city to it's glory. For now patients is needed.
"That Zebra, Monkeys and Penguins are my only lead." Elmer concluded, stopping at his tracks.
"I came to this world after we landed on that train about 3 days ago. In that time, I tracked down where that wasically wabbit is located. But instead, I found those animals talking and in doing so I went into my hunter instincts. Losing track of my goal." Elmer paused as he places his hand on his chin.
"Hmm, base on those Penguins and Zebra they have no idea who the wabbit is and are part of this world. Which means that this world is full of talking-walking animals that are similar to humans." Elmer came to the realization as he pace around once more.
"But because of this I now don't have a trace of where the wabbit went and know he's here." Elmer then remembered about the zoo animals being transferred to another location.
"If I can't have a wabbit, then maybe I can have my own collections of animals." Elmer chuckled as he set his mind to hunting down the Zebra, Penguins, monkeys and more for this world.

2 weeks Later - Departure from docks by few minutes
After making some preparations. Bugs and Company watched carefully agreeing that they should follow the animals since they have no options or direction to follow at the moment. This decision was after Donald reluctantly agreed it was for the best to follow the animals they encounter for these reasons. These reasons are self-made rules that are some guidelines to what they should do in these worlds. It was mostly developed after encounter dark worlds that they swore never to visit or talk about. Mickey and Bugs made certain to leave those worlds if they somehow encounter them as they are worlds with no hope, no light and no mercy as people are insane, dark, and to even certain degree evil if not pure evil.
The first rule is when no direction goes by what you heard, who you encounter, and situation you find. In many cases against the forces of darkness those are the key guidelines that should be taken consideration since many of their first world or revisit ended up like this. The second is when dark forces, monsters, evil villains, helping people from bad guys/helping in general or key of interest are involved, they should follow them as their only clues to these world travels as if they have no reason for visiting those worlds, they make themselves the reasons and do what they can to help. While mostly using the first two rules, there are more guidelines as they needed to keep everyone safe including themselves. Donald agreed to this as heartless involvement is signs of something is going on and they need to make sure nothing is happening for the time being.
With many preparations and ready for sailing as they discovered what docks they needed to go. Sneak through security as they have to avoid getting caught or hide if found out. Popeye used his sailor skills to get access to the docks and joined the crew as if he's the regular boys. Once inside they had to avoid being spotted by the crew as both Mr. G&W and Popeye are the only ones that can move around without being caught and place in prison. Popeye used a duffle bag as way to bring Bugs, Donald and Jerry into the ship. After making sure the cost is clear, they are brought out as the hole on top provided air, just not enough room for them.
"That... was... the worst!" Donald shouted before Popeye covered his mouth.
"Look, we got in and we need to find ourselves some answers. Fortunately, the animals we need to find are part of this ship. Even more I know where the animals from the Central Park Zoo boxed in." Popeye said as Bugs and Donald are gaining feeling in their legs, arms and body in general.
"That's good, then I guess we asked the penguins first." Donald said since they are the only ones that may have some ideas what is happening right now.
"So, far they are the only ones that know what is going on. Besides anyone that fights heartless are people we needed to ask since they may know what is going on." Popeye pointed out as that was their only led to what they needed to from this world. Why all of these thing's matter is because so far, the only things that has happen is mostly due to them unable to leave the world of Traverse Town since they started this quest. When place in this train they are basing what they should do next from how they handle the world before this one. Base on that they have two things, three if Keyblade Wielder is around. First is finding the A-Keys that could be located on these worlds, but because they found Donald on that world, the second is seeing if any friends are here to be located and found. Either these options or help people of the world with their personal problems and other things.
"Okay fair point, but we can't count on people being able to fight the heartless as experience. Sometimes they may be faking it just to gain our trust." Donald informed Popeye of caution as these worlds and people aren't what they seem.
"Eh, that maybe true don. But you should give them the benefit of the doubt or play along since we can get information from them." Bugs added as he joined the conversation.
"Easy for you to say since your made to trick and outsmart everyone that's trying to kill you." Donald pointed out what not everyone has that skill.
"Nah, I don't get off that easy either. Worlds where common sense is normal is where I can find trouble. If that person happens to be smart enough there, I can't exactly talk my way out of that situation." Bugs admits as that has happen then most would think, even in the Looney Tune shows that didn't always work.
"Come boys, we need to find those Penguins." Popeye stated as he went towards one direction as the rest started to follow behind. As they walk realizing that the ship, they are on seemed a bit empty for some odd reason.
"Does anyone else get that feeling no one is home docs?" Bugs asked as they slowly made their way through the ship.
"We have to assume the worse, something is wrong here." Popeye said still leading them towards the crates. Eventually they made their way towards the crates they are to locate.
"Hey fellas this is the crates!" Popeye shouted as everyone started to gather where they are located.
"Wait a minute. Is that you, from back then?!" Alex said in surprise as he spoke.
"And you're that Lion from before." Bugs also said in return.
"What are you guys doing here? And More importantly could you help get us out of here." Alex asked, but before the conversation could continue the ship started to turn hard as the ship bend over one side.
"QUACK! WHAT IS HAPPENING!" Donald yelled in surprise. Mr. G&W grabbed hold of himself as Bugs and Jerry are with him at the time. But for Popeye and Donald... they weren't lucky as four crates fell overboard along with Popeye and Donald joining them.
"POPEYE! DONALD!" Bugs yelled as he couldn't do anything for them. Eventually the ship is straightened as all three of them look over board to see them floating away too fast for them. Fortune enough they did see glimpse of both Donald and Popeye grabbing hold of the box.
"Come on we have to turn this ship around." Bugs ordered as he is held on by Mr. G&W along with Jerry hanging onto Bugs fur. They began to search far and wide for the room that steers the entire ship. But right when they think their lost, they suddenly found the room they needed to look for as they had their jaws drop in both literal and figuratively state.
"What... the WHA?!" Bugs said as they saw Penguins of all things operating the ship and have even tied up the captain in ropes and duct tape. It would be a impressive feat if this was something very wrong about what is happening.
"Private set course for the Artic, and keep your eyes peeled as we don't know what is out there. Kowalski keep reading the charts in case power failure in this scenario and Rico stay where you are we need to man this ship no matter what." Skipper ordered as everyone stayed in one position as they tried to figure out how to operate the ship. Skipper then spotted two familiar faces, but...
"Human Alert! Rico deploy operation: human forget me stick!" Skipper ordered, as Rico started to spit out something big that somehow is inside that small penguin. It turns out to be some grenade that somehow is inside that Penguins stomach.
"Not the kill me stick, the forget me stick!" Skipper said rubbing his forehead with his flippers. Rico understood then and toss the grenade as he accidently unplugged the pin as Mr. G&W rushed over and threw the grenade at the doorway as Bugs and Jerry moved away in time as it exploded shaking the ship. But after that Rico now holding a small silver rod bashed Mr. G&W head multiple times catching him off guard as he started to see 8-bit stars and fell back.
"G&W!" Bugs rushed over shouting as he and Jerry look concern for their friend.
"Alright we're all good, I don't know if you two will enjoy the cold, but your welcome to follow us if you like!" Skipper offered as Bugs turned and jump over towards Skipper and pointed accusing finger at him.
"What's the big idea bashing our friend you could have killed him if he were human!" Bugs stated as he almost shouted in anger.
"Were human? I guess that explains his grayish skin. But that's beside the point, while I am sorry for hurting your friend if he's with you. What I want to know is why your here?" Skipper asked almost demanding if he wasn't friendly for the time being.
"You know what, that's fine. He's okay and we got over this misunderstanding. But we need to turn the ship back now! Our two friends and other animals outside fell overboard and we need your help." Bugs asked hoping there is some way to save their friends.
"Hmm, we would gladly help you. But we can't." Skipper answered that made Bugs somewhat angry.
"And why is that?" Bugs asked in turn.
"First is we have our own goals, and we need this ship to get towards the artic. The Second really is we're too small and can't turn this ship around." Skipper answered once more.
Bugs gave a deadpan glance towards the audience and then turned back, "Okay doc I get the first one, but what do you mean about the second one?" Somehow after asking Bugs is dreading the answer.
"Simple my long ear friend, the first is that I ordered Private to lock the controls towards our destination, but the second is because we took out the entire crew." Skipper said. This made Bugs and Jerry Brain freeze, processing what he said Bugs asked for clarifying, "I'm sorry did you say THE ENTIRE CREW!?"
"Yep, can't operate the ship if anyone is awake and doing all dandy." Skipper pointed out, this brought Bugs to the boiling point as he realizes that his friends are in heap of trouble, and they couldn't do anything about it. Having enough Bugs tackled Skipper as the two started to fight one another as the penguin team and Jerry watched waiting for the victor to appear.
As this is happening Donald and Popeye held on to Alex's crate. Inside Alex seems to be worried and panicking as he didn't know what's going to happen.
"Huh?" Alex heard something outside and tried worried.
"Hold on!" Popeye shouted as he held onto the create on the edge while Donald is already on top trying to hold on fire life.
"Wait your out here too?" Alex surprised by their appearance.
"Not by choice, but we can't get back to the ship!" Donald said, shaking his feathers and body.
"Oh great, well at least I won't die alone. Do you happen to see the others?" Alex asked, hoping there be some chance to escape this predicament.
"I see them, but their drifting too far out!" Popeye shouted.
"Dang it, I was hoping we could've stick together." Alex said now scared for himself and his friend's lives.
"Well for now just sit tight, we may be out here for the night!" Popeye told Alex as all three have to hang on for dear life as this could get ugly very quickly.
Meanwhile a small boat is being used by none other than Elmer Fudd as he rode the treacherous waves towards the ship. As he made his way towards the ship from the distance, Elmer Fudd smirk as he said to the audience, "You know, I did say no one is getting killed, but I didn't say animals were off the list." He chuckled as he regains focus on the task in hand.

Shorelines - Popeye, Donald and Alex
Unknown time has pass and fortunate enough they made it to shore land when Popeye stayed up all night looking for any signs of land. Using his strength to pull him, Donald and Alex in the crate they swam towards the shore and made land without too much hinderance. Afterwards they land on the shorelands it was nighttime as Donald shouted in surprise and landed with his head stuck in the sand. As this happen Popeye came over and pulled the head out.
"Ugh, what happen?" Donald asked.
"Well, I could try giving the good news, but even then, I don't think they would help." Popeye said. They turn to see Alex is worried and scared as he started to shout for his friends.
"Hey wait!" Popeye shouted, but saw Alex wasn't going to stop.
"Come on we need to go after him!" Popeye grabbed Donald by the neck and carried him as they both watch and followed behind Alex to make sure nothing happens to him.
Next Day
By the time dawn appeared, Popeye is now awake stretching himself. He then places both hands on his back as he tried to move stretch out some of the stiffness he felt.
"Nurgh, that was rough." Popeye then look around and see they are on land thankfully.
"Hey duck... Donald!" This woke Donald up after Popeye shouted towards his head.
"What's the big idea!" Donald shouted as he tried to growl and get into his usual fighting stance when angry, if he wasn't hindered by his appearance by now.
"Whoa, easy duck. We made it on shorelands." Popeye explained as Donald took the time to look around.
"Huh, do you know where we are?" Donald asked hoping for some answers.
"Nope, not a clue. If anything, I stick with you until at dawn. It was late at night when we arrived, so I didn't wake you up and rested since then." Popeye said, Donald nodded in the explanation.
"Where's Alex?" Donald asked.
"He must be still looking for his friends. We then fell asleep in the middle of the night. Although from the looks of it he didn't travel too far." Popeye said looking at the tracks.
"Well let's go get him." Donald ordered as the two rushed off looking for Alex which didn't took long as they could see after some running with Popeye carrying Donald that Alex stayed up all night shouting and looking for his friends. But once they found him after possibly for 20 minutes of running towards one direction. They saw him rushing towards another box that have his friends. The two went over as they wanted to make sure at least they are alright. As for Alex when he heard someone shouting and turned to see where he recognizes who is shouting as the box is moving around with Melman inside.
"Melman!" Alex shouted with joy; he then helps him try to break the box so he can move.
"Allow me." Popeye said and smashed the box into pieces by ripping it apart with two hands.
"Whoa, your strong." Melman said.
"That's cause I eat Spinach." Popeye stated proudly. Donald sigh at this as Alex and Melman notice another box. Alex and Melman rushed over to Gloria who's box was much easier to break open. There was some awe moment as Gloria had some crab down below, star fish at what assume as breast and green seaweed on her head.
"Okay boys break it up." She said, apparently doing some pose or something.
"Gloria!" Both Alex and Melman shouted glad to see one of their friends are okay. Then came Marty who is surfing on some dolphins towards the shores as he seems to be one with nature in some strange way. When he made it on shore, Marty and Alex started to run towards each other.
"Alex!"
"Marty!"
Both of them had a moment of slow motion from the audience perspective.
"Alex!"
"Marty!"
This continued as the two are slowly running towards each other.
"Alex!"
"Marty!"
But then Alex's Expression started to change as Marty noticed.
"Alex!"
"Marty!"
It was in that moment Marty realize, he messed up and started to run away saying something as the world return to normal as only Donald and Popeye are the only one noticed this moment.
"That was interesting." Donald said.
"It's nice for once to be the audience and noticed the weirdness and not be part of it even if some trouble situation." Popeye said as he chuckled. Both of them gave the others some space as they gathered their wits and realize the situation.
"San Diego." Melman stated confusing everyone that heard him.
"San Diego?" Gloria asked.
"White Sandy beaches, cleverly simulated natural environment, wide-open enclosures. I'm telling you; this could be the San Diego Zoo. Complete with fake rocks. Wow, that looks real." Melman explained.
"Is that guy for real?" Donald asked Popeye who looked just as confuse as Donald.
"I think he is, we better help these guys out before doing anything else. Hey you guys." Popeye shouted, gaining their attention.
"You guys again! How did you get here?" Gloria asked finding them here surprise.
"We're persistence that's what." Donald said.
"So, then you're not here spying us or something? Cause you were back on that ship and your here now." Melman said suspicious of these two.
"That's mostly because we needed to make sure that you're okay." Popeye said trying to assure them.
"From what?" Alex asked as he's more concern with their current situation than whatever they are going on.
"The Heartless." Both Popeye and Donald stated.
"Wait you mean the Night Crawlers that appeared in the city." Gloria asked catching on what they are saying.
"Yeah those, you can say we're hunters for those guys." Donald lied knowing that if they said they are from the outside world it would say they are insane.
"Oh, that's actually nice. But what are you guys doing here?" Melman asked confused why they are here in the first place.
"It more so has to do with them possibly appearing to hunt you down and kill you." Popeye lied as well knowing the real truth would sound selfish and inconsiderate.
"Right. So, you wouldn't try to help us get back on the ship and maybe bring us back to our home but instead priorities our protection when doing nothing?!" Alex sarcastically said as he didn't believe what they are saying from the start.
"...We can't really do anything about that." Popeye tried to say since some of what Alex said stung a bit knowing full well, they could have done something, but when doing it that would have shown them having power without restraint. Popeye knew long after his first couple of journeys that his strength couldn't help him even if he wanted to use brute force in many situations. Yet real world problems only make things worse through brute strength alone.
"Besides what happen to you guys was your fault since you did leave your zoo. If you hadn't left the zoo and those Night Crawlers aka Heartless as we call them appeared at the zoo. We would have just protected you and left after it was done." Donald pointed out as to save Popeye from this conversation, if Popeye could express, he would be silently thankful for his assistance.
"...Okay fair point on that, but the only reason we left is because Marty was leaving to the wildlife." Alex said almost accusing his friend Marty.
"Hey, I'm not the one leaving the zoo while all that commotion happens." Marty argued.
"We only left to help you. I mean if we didn't try and save you bad things could have happen." Melman pointed out as he didn't want their friend to get hurt.
"Ironic that we save them, and they were saving Marty." Popeye whispered to Donald as he slightly nodded in agreement.
"Hey before we do anything could we at least asked these guys and introduce ourselves a bit. Kind of rude for us to ignore them like this." Gloria stated as Marty and Melman agreed with Alex being suspicious of Popeye and Donald.
"Fine, but I'm staying away from you." Alex pointed towards Marty.
Once everyone started to sit down and relax, both sides started to talk about bit as they introduce themselves. Alex is introduced as king of New York, although from the sounds of its Alex seemed angrier and concern of returning to his perfect life he proclaims. Marty is easier going and more relax despite the situation they are in now, which is surprising and yet understanding as he is part of the wildlife, but it seems all of them only knew about the zoo life for a long time. Gloria seems like a take charge and head strong type as she got the guys to calm down and straighten everyone up like she owns the place which she might as well. Melman though looks more nervous and scared of things judging by his reactions and assuming timid, which isn't that bad all things considered.
After Popeye and Donald talk about themselves with Alex being more suspicious of them by the second. Both sides started to ask questions like the Night Crawlers and why they are called that. Apparently, it's a term they used from past animals that lived in the zoo. However the Night Crawlers were something of bed time stories to scare little animals. That being said, it was after the conversation that Alex and Marty were back at it again, Alex blaming Marty for the situation and Marty trying to apologies for what happen.
"Should we interfere?" Donald asked now feeling like a third wheel in this group.
"Nah, let them get it out of their system. But we do need to make sure they are okay for the most part since we are stranded here." Popeye answered, but then heard something from the jungle.
"You hear it too?" Donald asked also hearing music as well. Soon everyone heard something, and Popeye and Donald joined them as they rushed through the jungle. But not before Alex accidently slammed into spider's web and Popeye stop to help him.
"You alright." Popeye asked.
"No, I'm not. I hate spiders." Alex muttered to himself, Popeye help Alex the best he could trying to rid of some spider webs on Alex's body.
"What kind of lion is afraid of spiders?" Popeye asked finding this lion stranger then normal.
"Can we not discuss this, come on let's catch up." Alex said as he and Popeye walk through the jungle to reach the others.
While everyone else had made it towards where the music is located. Once they arrived, they stop as Gloria took the lead.
"Alright let's make an impression for the people. Smile everyone. Melman is that your best smile? Gloria turned towards Melman and saw his weird grin.
"No this is gas." Melman corrected as he couldn't help feeling nervous with this new location and people.
"Alright let's go, remember we're to make a good impression." She reminded them, as soon as the leaf is moved away what they saw wasn't some people's party, it was instead animal party that is being held by lemurs. Much of them seem to be having fun and going wild for the most part.
"Are these the people you're looking for?" Donald asked as he watch the party go wild.
"No these are animals." Gloria said as the music is loud and booming in your face and all the lemurs are going bananas at this point. Marty seems to be rocking with the music, but Melman is more concern as he saw something that shouldn't have happen. Donald couldn't help but stare at these lemurs and find it both interesting and almost the urge to party.
"I have just seen at least 26 health code violation, no wait that's 27." Melman spotted as he couldn't help feeling more nervous than before.
"I don't know about you guys, but I like how they are partying." Marty comment as he started to shake around dancing.
"THE FOSSA! THE FOSSA ARE COMING!" One of the Lemurs shouted as they rushed around and tried to hide themselves. As this happen one lemur who is an helpless baby from the looks of it is surrounded by the fossa that appear to be big cat like creatures. However before something happens, someone shouted yelling at that being charge from above and smack herself using some wooden pool like stick that smack the fossa's head. The animal in question is covered with white feathers about similar to Donald.
"DAISY!" Donald shouted as he recognizes that duck from anywhere.
"Donald!" With that distraction it didn't take long for one fossa to grab her and the small lemur placing them both into salad bowls of their own making.
"Wait you know her?" Gloria tried to ask only for Donald to jump into the fry squawking and attacking the closes Fossa that is nearby. But as this happen Alex and Popeye made it there not knowing what is going on.
"Hey thanks for your help. Leaving me behind back there like that." Alex sarcastically said.
"Do I look like chop liver?" Popeye said slightly offended.
"People don't count sailor." Alex then walks over and ignored what he was seeing as he asked the Fossa about their situation. While Alex is more focus on trying to gather his wits and how to make of their new surroundings. Everyone that is behind Alex saw a large spider crawling up his back. Popeye didn't realize this and when Alex took notice, he scream loud enough that the Fossa ran off afraid of him.
"Did you see that Maruice?" One of the lemur said who is watching all this along with other lemurs.
"He scared them away." The one name Maruice said as everyone watch the events unfold while the small lemur made it back into hiding. But in the process of this everyone that is near Alex started to swing their stick at Alex who is trying to remove the spider from his back. But hadn't caught the spider because it was standing with the others watching what is happening.
"Hold it, that's enough. You guys got the spider." Popeye finally step in as he grabbed the wooden stick and stop Gloria from swinging her stick at Alex.
"Oh sorry Alex, you alright." Gloria asked helping Alex get back up.
"I'm fine, but thanks." Alex said. But as they were distracted from what they were doing Donald and Daisy had a moment to themselves as both are hugging each other using their wings.
"I thought I never see you again Daisy." Donald said happy to see she's okay.
"I'm glad to see you too, you have no idea how much I would love to get out of this place." Daisy said not liking this world already.
"Yeah, I know, our forms are even ridiculous from what we should look like." Donald admits.
"So then let's take the gummi ship and get off this rock." Daisy demanded, but Donald didn't know how to tell her what's happening. But then the lemur from before came back and hugged Daisy at the leg.
"Ah come here little guy, did those mean fossa scare you." Daisy said tending to the young lemur.
"So, who's your friend?" Gloria asked as everyone now turned to see Donald with another duck similar to him.
"This is Daisy, Daisy this is Alex, Gloria, Marty, and Melman." Donald introduce her to them.
"Hello everyone." Daisy joyfully said finally glad to see others besides lemurs and predators on this island.
"Oh hey, I guess your girlfriend is in the zoo as well." Alex said, only to confuse Daisy about what they said.
"Zoo? What are you talking about?" Daisy asked unsure if they realize what is happening.
"You forget your in some zoo. Man, San Diego must have down their jobs to confuse all animals they are in some wildlife." Melman said as he continued to be more impressed by the minute.
As this was happening every lemur watching the youngest lemur cling to Daisy on the legs while those other animals didn't seem to do any harm for the time being.
"Zoo? San Diego?" Daisy turned to Popeye and Donald for explanation, "Don't these guys know they are in the wild?"
"Looks like they aren't hurting mort, which means that they are all bunch of pansies." The Leading Lemur said.
"I don't know about this, one of them is a human, but for odd reasons is friendly with them and that one with weird hairdo, something is suspicious about that one." Maruice said looking towards Alex with caution.
"No worries, Maruice, they haven't done anything to Mort yet and he can be annoying when he wants too. But if they can scare the fossa away, they are our guest. Come on everybody let's greet the pansies" As the leading Lemur said this to other lemurs, they all cheered surrounding the visitors that are on the island.
"Lemurs, their all over the place." Popeye comment.
"Squirrels, San Diego Squirrels." Melman corrected Popeye.
"Since when do Squirrels have gray fur?" Popeye questioned.
"They do on certain locations." Melman countered.
Maruice step in front of the giant animals and person holding a horn to announced to them, "Presenting your royal highness, our illustrious King Julian XIII, self-proclaim lord of the lemurs, et cetera, et cetera, Hooray everybody." While it was a backhanded announcement it didn't seem to bring King Julian down as he smiled, and the animals cheered for him. From what they are seeing so far from this lemur he seemed to be more relax and popular with the lemurs as he begins to do some tricks as he stood over one lemur and another just to reach their heights. Same happen for Maruice as they stand on one another as they began to reach the same height as them.
"Welcome giant pansies. Feel free to bask in my glory." King Julian announced himself.
"You sure they aren't squirrels?" Alex asked.
"Sounds like a squirrel." Melman also agreed.
"We give our enormous thank you for helping chase away the Fossa." King Julian thank the giants.
"The Whosa?" Popeye asked.
"The Fossa you silly human." King Julian corrected Popeye.
"Your highness he's human, he can't understand you." Maruice told King Julian.
"Well, I'm kind of the exception." Popeye stated, this startled Maruice as he didn't know or encounter many humans that can talk to them.
"See Maruice the human can hear us. Now don't insult the freaks like that. Ha-ha. You must tell me, who the heck you guys are and how did you know about our Great Guardian?" King Julian asked.
"Great Guardian?" Alex asked back.
"You know our duck friend Daisy, she came to us in short time to help chase off both fossa and Shadow Stealers." King Julian said to them.
"Shadowha?" Marty question.
"He means that beside the Fossa, there are these night creatures that came during the nighttime and take our souls or something like that. We honestly don't know what they are other than having black skin and yellow eyes. But then she came and help us chase off the Shadow Stealers, yet they still keep coming even after we chase them off, makes it hard to deal with as both them and Fossa consistently attack us." Maruice explained as this help clarify yet made more questions then before.
"Who you mean the Night Crawlers, but I guess you guys call them differently since we have the same problem back where we used to live." Melman chime in after catching on what they are saying.
"Ah you too have those shadow stealers too, my most sincere grievous from us all. They make the Fossa that we have to run from more dangerous even when partying all night." King Julian said feeling the same for these guys.
"Party Poopers huh." Marty comment.
"Hold on before we talk about others thing from why we are here." Alex stared at Marty blaming him with his eyes as he said then and turned back.
"Ah yes, so who are you freaks?" King Julian asked.
"My name is Alex, and this is Gloria, Melman, Marty, Donald and Popeye." Alex introduces everyone quickly.
"And where do you came from exactly?" Maruice suspicious of Alex as he has some ideas why the Fossa is scared of him.
"Well for most of us we came from New York-" Alex is stop as King Julian turned around to announced, "All hail the New York Giants!"
New York Giants!
As everyone cheered Alex, Melman, Gloria, and Marty huddled trying to decide what they should do next. As for others Donald for the most part stick with Daisy as he was only listening when Daisy wasn't speaking to him. Popeye remained silent as he watch the events play out.
"I guess this is where you have been hanging around for sometime." Donald asked.
"For the most part yes." Daisy answered as she's used to this weirdness. Shortly after Alex asked about if there are people outside of Popeye and revealed that the people King Julian is talking about are all dead.
"I can assume those animals have never been in the wildlife for the most part?" Daisy asked.
"Yep, and I don't think they will take the news that good." Donald said knowing something bad will happen. And the mention of being in the wild didn't sink in from the get go didn't help that much.
"Could you excuse me for a moment." Alex asked and ran off before they could call him back.
Few minutes and Alex along with Melman and Gloria rushed back to the shorelands. The only one who didn't take the news so hard is Marty who is enjoying himself. Popeye, Donald and Daisy followed them back as this could be trouble for the animals.
"So, you guys been traveling using some key to transport you to some places and your stuck here is what your saying?" Daisy is caught up with everything that is going on as Donald explained everything to her.
"You're taking it well then I thought." Donald admits, wondering if Daisy is okay after being separated.
"Normally that might be the case when your life is on the line. But seeing as we usually don't get our dates and your always on adventures or something going on. I honestly wouldn't mind having a date when we go around the worlds. I know you said they are dangerous and no doubt they are, but I rather spend that time with you whenever we do go together." Daisy said, surprising Donald on how much Daisy is different from what he would have expected from her.
"Besides, I now understand how hard it was for you to help people or animals." Daisy said understanding Donald's duty to helping others and joining Mickey's journey.
"Yeah, it is I feel that with these guys we're going to have a hard time adjusting to this new life." Donald said pointing to the trio that are watching the sun go down on the beach.
"You mean these animals? Yeah, that seems like it'll be a while before they are convinced that this is where they used to belong not in the zoo. But why are you here with these guys?" Daisy asked trying to get up to date about what's happening and what is going on.
"Honestly going with our gut instinct. There is this blue key that would teleport us to many worlds without any control. I would try and figure it out, but for some reason I feel that if I use my magic bad things will happen. We followed them because the heartless are attacking them, more so the animals instead of people. So, we followed them here hoping something were to happen. So far the heartless hasn't appeared, but that maybe different on this island." Donald explained what their plan is and how it's mostly loose plan since they have no real idea if this was the best plan.
"So, you guys are winging it? I kind of figured since hearing some of your adventures." Daisy assumed based on this new information and how this was mostly not a well thought out plan.
"But the heartless thing is real here, those shadow stealers those lemurs call it. That's actually a problem here." Daisy also informed Donald that the heartless they assume come here is actually here.
Donald frown at this and asked, "Tell me what you know."

Penguin's Location/Couple of Days later - reaching their destination
All the way out in at sea recuse wasn't going to happen anytime soon as the Chimpanzees are minding their own business exploring the ship without anyone guarding. While Bugs, Mr. G&W, and Jerry are trying to figure out what to do next. After Bugs explosive reaction both groups needed to have some space of their own. Mostly because with everything that is happening it was understandable that too much was happening. Leaving them with at least two problems, first is to figure out their next move as still clueless about the information of this world as things started to happen to fast, then find some way to rescue or save their friends that are lost at sea for the time being. For the time being they tried to figure out how to change the ships directions, but...
"I got nothing." Is all Bugs having to say. Jerry shoulder slump at the declaration as it seems like they weren't going anywhere. Currently they are located in one of the bedrooms for overseas. It was the crew's room as they are now empty with the entire crew except the captain tied up.
"Sorry doc, I really screwed up this one. But when our friends are in trouble in who knows where it makes me boil when someone makes it harder for us." Bugs said, Jerry in turn understood and gave some hand signs saying maybe they can find some way to save their friends somehow once they asked the penguins.
"Probably best we don't disturb them. Beside with the crew locked up in some room and us having to operate this ship, we more than likely need their help even if we don't agree on certain things." Bugs said.
"That's an understatement my long ear friend." Mason said, they turn to see Chimpanzees standing towards the doorway. Bugs and company got to know the two chimps as Mason who is able to talk and Phil who uses sign languages.
"So, I guess you guys are done exploring." Bugs asked.
"Yes we are, not exactly the most welcoming place to ride over the seas, but who's complaining." Phil gave his comment that seemed to argue with Mason's words.
"Well, what do you except? We're monkeys, we're not meant for the open seas." Mason told his chimp friend as Phil shook his head. But it was from here that Bugs thought of something and he didn't really think of it until now. The Chimps who are standing there seems to have some common sense around this world and they maybe able to get some information about what is going on.
"Say Mason, If you don't mind. Can we ask you some questions." Bugs asked.
"I supposed there's no harm. What would you guys like to know?" Mason asked.
From there it was a long discussion of what can be describe as informative. Mason and Phil despite their personality as monkeys, are actually the most intelligent pair of chimps you ever find. They informed them about the penguins and how they always had this weird personality and gimmick as Bugs thought to himself, that made them want to escape and have been considered crazy even by animal standards. The Night Crawlers are also something the animals of the world have called the heartless that can be describe as different names like the all consuming shadow, the terrors of midnight, yellow glow eyes of death. Apparently the animals have many names for them, as the heartless appear only when animals are around. On few occasions the heartless appear where humans are located it's very few and in between or never at all.
Then they explained like the relationship between animals and humans. Mostly where some animals are ignorant of humans unable to understand what they say. But the animals still believe they are equal footing with the humans when in truth they also have views of them differently. This confirmed somethings and even cleared out what they thought about this situation. It also does explain the whole Zebra, Lion, Hippo and Giraffe are walking about and why they were exploring the city. To be frank it should have been obvious but they didn't want to assume much.
"Huh, this actually cleared much we wanted answer." Bugs comment as Jerry also listen and nodded in agreement.
"Well, that's good, not many animals know this stuff or are more content with their lives. Which isn't so bad on the long run, but I do hope we're not at the Antarctic for long. It would be boring and deadly to deal with snow and ice." Mason said, suddenly the entire ship shook around as they felt like something has rammed them from somewhere.
"What was that?" Bugs asked expecting no one to answer. As everyone rushed outside everything started to get cold as they saw that they reach the destination the penguins were trying to reach.
"Burr, hope we can get this ship turned around." Bugs said shaking from the cold as they reach outside and shook.
"HOLD IT!" Everyone paused as they heard someone walking to them as heartless appeared and Elmer stood in front of the group, "Now I got you screwy wabbit! I knew you were on this world somewhere, but I didn't think you be here." Elmer chuckled to himself as he kept his guns pointed at them. The heartless in question are shadows, soldiers, Air Soldiers and Large Body along with two Zonimal along with their pair of Feheart and Cahearts, total amount of 40 heartless if they don't grow in numbers.
"Eh, what's up doc? Haven't seen you for some time." bugs casually said even if he had no carrot in hand.
"Nothing for you to concern yourself Wabbit." Elmer stated as he made sure he didn't fall for any tricks.
"Hmm, doesn't this feel familiar to you?" Mason asked his chimp friend.
Outside of this Phil gave some hand signs and raised them up in surrender after he finished.
"What? Cartoon characters from Looney Tunes! Don't be deaf my silent friend, cartoons aren't real. Even this was it be some horrible parody about a crossover from fanfiction writers." Mason comments as Bugs chuckled to himself and look towards the audience.
"If only they knew." Bugs smirked as he raised his eyebrows up and down at the audience.
"Now that I joined with Bluto things are going to be different with you and me." Elmer smirk as he continues to monologue and gloat to them.
"Really? What did Pete or Bluto offer that you could actually join them?" Bugs casually asked, keeping his charming personality since the good old days.
"What did they offer? Friendship that's what." Elmer answered, that halted their brains for a moment. Mostly Bugs and Jerry who are aware of what is going on while the Chimps simply had their hands raised and questioned the conversation right now.
"I'm sorry did you say friendship? Of all things friendship from group of people that has done wrong to others is your excuse?" Bugs couldn't believe what he's hearing and why this gullible yet sweet nature hunter is joining some thug group.
"Well yes, it has been lonely since our time in show biz." Elmer stated.
"Lonely?" Bugs now wanted to know what he meant.
Elmer remain silent for a moment then answered, "I don't expect you to understand Bugs, but things haven't been so great over these long years. While I still have you guys at home and can explore the worlds and stuff. But I barely see anyone anymore since those times. When I try to call you guys it feels like your either not there or you ignore me for other reasons. I mean sure every now and then I do hunt you guys from time to time, but only because I just wanted us to hang out more. I may have all the stuff I need to live and seem to be average living in the world. But even I have needs for companions and friendship. We did that one gig with Space Jam, and other times for specials and movies. Yet outside of this none of you reach out. I may get what I wanted and live a peaceful life, but no one is there to share with it." As Elmer explained, Bugs started to feel bad about Elmer's situation. Not to the point of sympathy, but more so understanding why he's doing it.
"You know after many times me, and other guys tried to kill you we would have thought you be more open and willing to hang out with us. But once more your busy with other stuff all the time. So, when Pete and Bluto offered a chance to meet others from the old times. I took that offer for the sake of hanging out with some friends. Plus, I did find out that while what I do is wrong, I secretly enjoy this stuff, mostly when it comes to hunting." Elmer confessed.
"You lost sympathy points for that." Bugs is then silent as Elmer continue to point at them.
"Now hand over the blue key so that I may please my bosses." Elmer demanded smirking at them while still pointing his gun.
"Eh sorry doc, but you may have trouble when they arrive." Bugs stated as Mr. G&W came in from above and started to fight the heartless left and right without problem. Bugs and Jerry noticed that his fighting style is different and actually much freer from his usual fighting style. While that is happening, the other heartless are then attack from behind from Penguins that came back and attack the heartless from behind surprising Elmer from this sneak attack as the Penguin smack and karate chop some of the heartless.

Elmer Fudd/Cartoon - Looney Tunes
Threat Level: Gray - F/Green - F
Strength: High
Abilities: Cartoon Logic and hunting guns
Offense: Average to high depending on his gimmick
Defense: Average to high depending on his gimmick
Weakness: Gullibility
Description: Elmer Fudd has gone through many changes in his life, most were basic prototypes of his character and design as the golden age of cartoon started. But as time progress he eventually had his design as hunter that seeks Bugs Bunny in Wabbit seasons as he calls it. He wears brown hunting clothes with some red here and there, carrying a gun for his hunts. After some time when Looney Tunes were no longer much fun or show biz went down Elmer like all the other tunes walk off and started to live their own lives. But after many times being alone and having no friends or enemies to count on, he joined Bluto and Pete simply for friendship and companions to fill in his loneliness. The weapon he uses is the same gun he always carries with him ranging from his shotgun, two-barrel rifle, and hunting rifle gun.
Prepare to defend!
Ready?
FIGHT!
Once the chaos started Mr. G&W had attack the bigger guys as this gave the others some breathing room to deal with the other heartless on deck. Bugs and Jerry went on the offensive as everyone started to pitch in including the chimpanzees despite not wanting to be involved with violence.
As the battle started the Penguins did a hit and run tactic as they are pretty strong even when against something larger than them. The four of them together took take of the shadows and soldiers by working together. Sometimes they would distract them only for at least three or two of them to strike from behind. Rico showed his strength and unending belly filled with small tricks and tools necessary for this fight. Kowalski showed his strength by outsmarting the heartless without lifting a finger. It may not say a lot since heartless are mindless creatures full of instinct. But it was impressive nevertheless, private seems to be decoy most of the time as the others work together to keep him safe as he also helps whenever they can. Skipper seems more the direct and is surprisingly skilled despite many disadvantages from his penguin body, his karate chops are strong enough to knock the shadows and soldiers down to an daze state for the others to finish them off.
The Chimpanzees had their unique style as they manage to throw some poo at the heartless and blindsided the Large Body as they ram around the remaining heartless that weren't taken out by Mr. G&W who is able to use his 3D body to his advantage. Speaking of Mr. G&W he's holding back the Zonimals as they would have taken attention to the animals instead of him. Seeing this as a problem Mr. G&W went to attack them, but the Feheart and Caheart got in his way as they surrounded him as Mr. G&W had to work around them. When they tried to attack at once Mr. G&W jump high up and ground pound with his feet copying Mario's signature move thanks to his 3D body. This was strong enough to crush half of them while the others like the Penguins finished them off. With the Large Body's being the major threats left including the two Zonimals Mr. G&W rushed over and attack them with the Large Body's all being blinded by the Chimpanzees. This resulted in both Zonimals being pushed around and eventually destroyed by them hurting themselves to weaken state.
That left only Bugs and Jerry along with Elmer chasing them as he fired his gun. Like the old cartoons Bugs had to run as quickly as possible as Elmer's aim is towards him and only him alone. This along with Jerry holding on to Bugs back are trying to avoid being fired upon by Elmer Fudd. Since this world doesn't function like his world, Bugs had to jump around avoiding bullets that are being fired at him. Elmer would rush over and tried to get a clear shot when Bugs went too far. This resulted in Bugs going around the ship on the outside and eventually lead to them taking cover in the crates that are still on board. As Elmer caught up to them this he had to stop and look around to find that Bugs and Jerry escape his sight for now.
"Ooooh, that screwy wabbit still has his moves. But it looks like he can't use his normal tricks like he would have now." Elmer than look at the audience to say, "Which means wabbit stew tonight" He than chuckled. While the heartless are still appearing but with fewer numbers to find the group. Elmer would personally take on Bugs and try to hunt him down as he would use all his hunting skills for this moment. As he started to sneak around, Bugs and Jerry that are hiding in the field of crates saw from at least another crate lane away from Elmer sneaking around watch him moved slowly.
"Ah nuts, I can't fight him like I would on normal occasions, and it looks like Elmer figure this out as well. But I still have some tricks up my sleeve." Bugs then whispered something in Jerry's ear about his plan.
With Bugs and Jerry coming up with a plan Elmer continued his search for Bugs. But as he was sneaking around Jerry now up on a crate waited for the moment to jump and eventually landed on Elmer's shoulder where he soon notice Jerry.
"Huh?" Before he questioned it Jerry jump and bite his nose.
"OUCH!" As Elmer scream in pain, Jerry sneak into his clothes as Elmer started to shake and try to move Jerry out in ridiculous matter, he then tried to smack Jerry using his hand only to hurt himself. As Jerry moved around Elmer eventually grabbed his gun and when Jerry appeared on his nose again smack himself as Elmer started to see stars floating around his head. All the while Bugs quickly search around the place and manage to at least find himself something to use. One of them being some bottle of antifreeze and spread it around the floor. Another item in question is paint cans as he could use them for comedic moments as Bugs looks at the audience with his eyebrows going up and down.
As Elmer got up he look and saw Bugs standing in front away from him.
"Ah Ha!" Elmer quickly got his gun and started to rush over as Bugs took cover behind some crates, but then he started to slip and slide towards a crate smacking him back down as Elmer didn't expect the floor to be this slippery. Bugs had set some paint cans where Elmer would have crashed against and by ironic twist splash over Elmer's face as he shouted out disgusted by the pain inside his mouth. He tried to stand only for Elmer to slip once more as he tried to remove the green paint on his face to see only to still be blind with one eye open. What happen next is series of Elmer slipping around and sliding into other crates and getting repeatedly smack around as Bugs had made sure to have the floor filled with slippery with different brands from oil to dish soap and many more as Elmer couldn't do anything in his situation.
"Yep, same old Elmer Fudd. Which is actually good thing because he had learned after all this time, I would have been worried." Bugs admits, as both Jerry and him watch Elmer epically fail left and right without rest. While Bugs and Jerry laugh at Elmer for his misfortune, they didn't realize that Elmer had a growing darkness started to form around his body.
"All this time and you're still that screwy wabbit that has haunted my dreams." Elmer muttered to himself as he started to stand straight and held his gun changing into a shotgun.
"I'll show him." Having enough Elmer used some of his darkness and with one bullet blasted the nearest crate with the loudest bang from his shotgun ever heard even the others that are finishing the heartless stop for a moment along with the heartless hearing this loud bang which the animals took advantage along with Mr. G&W to finish the fight. This shake Bugs and Jerry out of their moment and realize that Elmer has change using the darkness as his power.
Bugs look at the audience with fear in his eyes saying, "You know what, I might have gone too far." Another blast happens as Elmer no longer slip and slide and stomp around the ship marching towards Bugs and Jerry's direction.
"This ends now screwy wabbit." Elmer declared and change his gun into hunting rifle and fired quickly without warning or need to aim as Elmer accuracy is almost peak. But Bugs and Jerry moved in time as they ran away. But that only slowed Elmer down for short while as he blasted through the crates without effort using his shotgun to make a path that eventually cleared the way for Elmer to see them.
"Hahaha. Now I got you." Elmer said grinning devilishly. But before he could fire someone shouted to him.
"Hey hunter!" Elmer, Bugs and Jerry turned to see Skipper had stood some distance away as he glared at Elmer.
"But that gun away this instant while you still can." Skipper ordered.
"Huh? How did you escape my heartless?" Elmer asked in a moment of confusion.
"That's not important, what is you disarm yourself and leave before you find what wild life animals can really do." Skipper demanded this time around.
"Or else what Penguin?" Elmer said threatening skipper with his gun aimed at him, but instead of being threaten Skipper smirk.
"Thought you wouldn't asked. Private!" Skipper shouted as Private threw a pencil at Elmer towards his face more than once. Having enough Elmer tried to aim as Private made his quick get away after his third pencil throw at Elmer. By than Private had moved away in time before the shotgun blast got towards him. As Elmer is more focus on Private the others like Kowalski and Rico prepared for their sneak attack from behind as they had something in mind to take him down.
"I'm going to blast you Penguin!" Elmer fired one more time as he missed thanks to Privates belly slide as he slide around and sometimes jump higher then most penguins.
"Launch the monkey pow!" Skippered ordered the two chimps behind him as they threw what is instead monkey poo at Elmer's face. This happen the second time as both of them threw their last poo for the moment.
"Nice shot." Mason congratulate his partner in crime Phil.
"YUCK! Disgusting!" Elmer cried out.
"Rico! Kowalski! FIRE!" Skippered ordered his two penguin teammates as they held onto the fire extinguisher as Rico held the end firing the extinguisher at Elmer who tried to remove the Monkey poo. This work as Elmer is blasted towards the crate full force as he couldn't do anything as he's blinded.
"Now Gray man!" Skippered shouted to Mr. G&W who rushed in and attack Elmer who is still blinded and unable to do anything as he had tried to get his wits together. Mr. G&W used his martial arts skills he had watch over time and put them into practice as while they are average, he's able to fight with good enough skills to fight like an average fighter. This brought Elmer down enough for Mr. G&W to grab him by the leg as Elmer landed on his back head. But before he could process or do anything he is lifted up and flip overhead by Mr. G&W doing this at least three more times. Then twirl him around more then several times as Mr. G&W released him towards the ocean as Elmer couldn't do anything as he landed face first towards the cold icy ocean slowly sinking down like those cartoons from jumping off boards in summer. Fortunate enough Elmer survive and retreated as he couldn't fight them now knowing he's outmatched without backup.
"I'll get you animals for this, especially you penguins. I'll remember this!" Elmer shouted as he swam into the boat he had with him as he sailed away.
Back on board Bugs and Jerry are so impressed by what happen that they didn't need to do anything for the fight. After taking care of Elmer Bugs and Jerry slowly look towards Skipper as he step towards them.
"You two, okay?" Skipper asked.
"Y-Yeah, we're good. Thanks for that." Bugs thanked Skipper and his friends.
"Don't mention it. Besides we need to turn this ship around and head towards the nearest island as quickly as possible." Skipper stated their plan of action.
"Waits aren't you trying to live in the Antartica?" Bugs questioned Skipper. The others started to join them as the penguins, chimps, and Mr. G&W gathered around.
"That was the plan. But we realize that this place wasn't worth living as this place would been harsh for us penguins. We are wild, but not that wild. So instead, we're going to save your friends, get the crew of this ship to safety in the oceans and find ourselves a new location to live." Skipper said what they plan on doing.
"Wait a minute, you're going to help us? just like that!" Bugs exclaimed as he had a hard time trying to convince them to help before but now, they plan on doing it this time around.
"Well, admittedly I was being stubborn and selfish. When you're in a cage for far too long you tend to only think of yourself instead of those you encounter. That is why we're going to make it up by sailing towards the nearest island. We have some idea where they may land after Kowalski examine the human map, so it should be close towards there." Skipper stated as Bugs and Jerry couldn't help smiling at hearing this.
"Gee thanks skip." Bugs said.
"Call me Skipper, I'm giving you that one as fair warning. Kowalski, you know where his friends maybe located." Skipper asked the brains of the penguins.
"I do remember when it was and what time they are left overboard. And after reexamining those maps, I can concluded that they have landed towards the Madagascar shores. If recuse was going to happen we will have to somehow reverse the ship." Kowalski said what has to happen if all this were to proceed.
"Hmm? Alright we'll have to work on that. Chimps, can you read the human language instruction on how to reverse the ship?" Skipper asked.
"Yes I think we can do that, and I'm glad you change your mind about this place, after all no respectable mammal should live in this blizzard of an wasteland. No offense to you penguins." Mason said.
"None taken, alright animals let's get this ship going. It's going to take some time and we're going to need all the help we can get." Skipper announced to everyone.
"If you don't mind doc. We'll get you some heat going in this ship, it's going to get cold very quickly around here." Bugs suggested.
"You do that, and if you could get us some hot cholate. I do love hot cholate in the cold weather." Skipper happily said as all the animals got going and prepared to head towards Madagascar.

Popeye and Company/same days as the penguins - Stranded on Madagascar
On the day count the Penguins that have stolen the ship have reach Antartica, Popeye and Company are trying their best to help around the land they found themselves in this moment. When Daisy explained what has happen on this land and how she has help the Lemurs defend themselves against both Fossa and Heartless as they proclaim her as their protector. Donald, Popeye and Daisy had a rough 2-3 days dealing with the trio of animals that are unaccepting of the new situation. So far giving them water hasn't been a problem. The only one who doesn't seem that down is Marty who is so far enjoying the wildlife. As for the Lemurs small encounters have happen of at least 1 or 2 Fossa that tried to take the Lemurs, only for Popeye, Donald and Daisy to show their strength as they work together. Donald and Daisy seem to work together greatly as they are able to sync with one another making up for their lack of strength and weakness they currently have now.
While they are here, they used some of the vegetables and fruits of the island to keep themselves from starving. Marty is already trying out some food and is more than willing to explore his newfound freedom. But as the days gone by one thing lingered on the back of their minds, okay maybe two things. The first being that Bugs, Jerry and Mr. G&W would find them on this island. They don't know if they could contact anyone, or anyone would hear them stranded here. But on another part is about one animal among the four that has them concern. When it came down to it, Alex did try and eat much of the fruits and vegatables, but had to spit them out or force them down to keep his hunger at bay. For now they will have to just keep watch as they have no idea if this will happen soon or when it will start.
Currently while Popeye, Donald, Daisy and Marty watch as Alex, Melman and Gloria have dug some grave for Melman and he wrote a will in the sand. It was harsh to see them this depress but now it felt overdramatic at this point.
"Their still depressed?" Marty asked as he started to get along with them. Between everyone Marty is actually very positive and energize compared to the rest, Gloria and Melman are friendly as well, but Alex apparently the leader as he proclaim himself has them on his side of things.
"Yep, although I don't know why they haven't accepted that you guys came from the wildlife from the start, I guess it's more so they have lived in the zoo for most of their lives." Popeye assumed.
"We have actually, for most of our lives we lived in the zoo. I didn't even know what the outdoors was, nor did I know about New York City, but when I met those penguins they told me about the outside world and I wanted to explore the world as well." Marty told his side of the story.
"Oh no, those guys again." Donald would have smack his face if his wings had at least had hands instead of actual wings like real ducks.
"To think you wanted to explore the worlds because of them." Popeye said as he was surprise from hearing this from Marty.
"Well this isn't so bad, I mean look at this place. I don't know about you sir, but the rest of us animals are in the wild where we belong. I feel so alive and free for once in my life." Marty exclaimed with joy. However Popeye, Donald and Daisy have other concerns as Alex the Lion maybe a problem down the line. They didn't say it out loud as Marty walk over to them and tried to cheer them up again.
"Should we say something about Alex?" Donald asked Popeye and Daisy since they know about what Alex would be eating at this point.
"Better left unspoken for now. We shouldn't worry too much since this lion seems tamed." Popeye stated as he could tell this lion may have claws but has no real means of hunting skills or ability to eat like most lions.
"True, but for how long? I mean shouldn't we at least tell these guys especially Marty that Alex is more than likely eat them?" Daisy express worried as she couldn't help feel they are ignoring the problem.
"The question wouldn't be would they accept the truth, but how they handle the truth. So, far they have shown that all of them are good friends. Granted Alex may have been eating other animals rather he knows this or not. But they are obviously to the natural order of the wildlife. If say we do tell them, would they even accept that Alex would try and kill them if he is starving to death?" Popeye asked the two ducks.
"I don't think your giving them enough credit, true there are bad possibilities to happen. But maybe that's just bad line of thinking and they are good friends to trust one another." Daisy stated as her answer.
"I really hope your right, because if Alex is going to be with them, he needs a new source of food somewhere." Popeye said to them. Donald had his wing on his chin as if he was tapping with his finger, then look at the ocean and smiled.
"No problem, Daisy and I have an idea." Donald said as Daisy look at him and where he was looking to see what he's getting at.
"Oh I see where your going with this. Yeah Donald and I have this cover." Daisy affirmed with Donald.
"Alright, but we should try and see what these guys are doing." Popeye pointed towards Alex and Marty seemed to have some argument right now. More so Alex as he seemed to dislike Marty over what is happening and how they are here now. Once they are over with the animals, Popeye, Diasy and Donald look over to see some line drawn on the sand as Marty is on one side and Alex drawn for him, Gloria and Melman.
"You see this is the fun side, while you stay over on your side." Alex declared as the line is drawn between them as it seems like Alex is trying to make Marty feel bad about what he has done.
"You guys still mad at him for being here?" Donald asked them.
"Yes/No." Alex saying yes while Melman and Gloria says no.
"What do you mean no? We're here because of him." Alex pointed towards Marty who isn't that bothered by this situation.
"Well technically we went off to find him and we ended up here because we got involved." Melman correctly pointed out.
"That and we could have left Marty alone, but as his friends we were worried for him." Gloria sort agreed with Melman.
"Guess your all here by your own volition?" Popeye said to them.
"That's not the point, the point is we lost what was the greatest thing in my life and he ruined it." Alex stated, this is caught by Daisy, Donald and Popeye as they raised their left eyebrow at his words.
"Your life?" Daisy asked about Alex's statement.
"Our lives, you know. Look the point is that it's his fault and we have to suffer for it. Now I draw a line for the wild side and fun side. If you guys are involved, you should start choosing whose side your own." Alex said to them. All three took a glance at one another as Daisy stayed on one side with Donald following behind.
"I guess I'll be staying on your side, just to be sure you guys don't do anything reckless." Popeye said as he stood with them.

Donald and Daisy - Strolling the night
As Donald and Daisy walk, the two stick together as Donald is more than happy to finally see Daisy after what has happen recently.
"You know it's actually nice. For once we are officially on a date together." Daisy said to Donald.
"Daisy." Donald wanted to say more, but is stop by Daisy raised her wing up.
"Yeah, I know. This isn't a date, more so us getting together after what happen at the castle and us scattered about towards other worlds as you said. But to be honest, I wouldn't mind if we actually traveled some worlds and dated on them." Daisy said as her eyes started to sparkle in Donald's eyes.
"Actually... I was going to ask you something." There were silences for a moment as Donald tried to find the right words to say, "On that day when we got split up, I want to say that I'm sorry. Sorry for not protecting you, and sorry for not being around for our dates. I guess that sometimes I got caught up with my duties that having spent time with the one you like the most can be secondary if you lose track of time." Donald said as he and Daisy stop for a moment.
"Donald, I have forgiven you more times than I can count, and truth be told... I don't hold that against you. But I would like it if you at least took your breaks and focus more on our date together. I know we don't get out as much just the two of us, but if we want to be serious with our relationship, you're going to have to show you mean it. But I also want you to know that I don't hold what happen on our home world against you either. It was something we couldn't have seen coming, and we were all unprepared for that day." Daisy said as this somewhat eased Donald's nerves, but at the same time made him feel more guilty as Daisy seems unaffected, yet she maybe putting a brave face on just so that Donald doesn't hold himself guilty all the time.
"When I said back than that I understood what you go through, I do mean it. I might have not first time around, but I do now know what you goes through when your traveling the worlds. I just wished you made that time for me as well." Daisy said her truest feelings from her heart. Donald look into her eyes and saw she was serious and needed to say something to show he means it as well.
"Daisy, there is something I need to say before I forget and get caught up in whatever is happening." Daisy waited listening to what Donald has to say to her, "First is that I do care and love you more than anything. But the second is that... I not ready to actually be committed to a serious relationship, but at the same time we have been going together for sometime that I started to run away from the problem when you have been patient with me. Even though we have had problems in the past, you and I always stick together to the end. I truly am thankful that you understand my duties, but your also right that I should think of us more than myself. I'm sorry for not making the time for us, and when things get better. I want us to at least make things right." Daisy smiled and the two kissed each other by the bill, while it may seem awkward or weird to many its the meaning that matter in this moment. As this happen, Donald's numbered glowed and so does Daisy's number appear as the two noticed on their wings. For Donald it was around 903 decreased to number 785, while Diasy's hand appeared as 832 decreased to 742.
"Huh, that's new?" Daisy comment seeing the number from high to lower itself.
"It must be the train." Donald said observing the numbers making Daisy confused.
"I'll explain it once we get off this world, and to be honest we maybe in for a complicated adventure." Is all Donald says as they walk off in the dark jungle.

Shore lands - Marty, Melman, Gloria and Popeye
After some failed attempts to make some signal for any people to find them. Melman and Gloria went over to Marty side as they didn't want to always been mopping around. Popeye went over as it seems Alex is starting to freak out and behave like some jerk. Popeye guessed that's part of his personality, but another part could be the starvation as it was only a matter of time before Alex would attack them. Taking this time now as ever, Popeye wanted to discuss with them what Alex might do if they don't solve his hunger problem soon.
"Nice to see you guys back together mostly." Popeye said starting the conversation, even though they only knew him for couple of days, he can honestly say they have somewhat trusted them for the time being.
"Yeah, but it would be nice to have Alex over. It wouldn't be the same without here." Marty said as he continued to both cook some of the seaweed he is roasting. Seeing the food Marty is cooking has him worried along with Donald and Daisy that Alex would attack them.
"You guys must have been together for so long?" Popeye asked Marty, as he nodded.
"Sure have, we been together all of our lives in the zoo. It was great, especially for Alex since he was the star for New York." Marty said, this caught on by Popeye as he wondered what Alex did during the zoo.
"Me, Donald and Daisy were at your zoo once. But I don't think we saw what you guys do all the time." Popeye said keeping watch all around.
"Well it's mostly on certain points of the day. Mostly in the morning since that's when Alex is all energize more so then any part of the day. He does this routine when greeting people to the zoo, and does that same routine before closing. So you probably missed the opening and closing act." Marty explained. Popeye thought back to when this happened and while they did hear crowds shouting and cheering, they were too focus on their own problems to ignore what is going on during the time. Which truthfully should have been noticed from the start.
"So, you guys do any of that stuff?" Popeye asked the others.
"Hmm, not really anything to outstanding. Marty actually has some trick he does when there are running space, Melman doesn't do too much but we love him all the more." Gloria smiled as she said this.
"Thanks Gloria, coming from you that means so much." Melman meant it as he knows that sometimes he can be kluzty or afraid of things, but still is there for them and is their friend.
"...So, uh... there is one thing I need to ask of you guys?" Popeye asked as he has their attention.
"Well we're all ears." Marty is first to respond as he listen.
"Do you guys know what Alex eats?" Popeye asked them.
"Of course, we know, it's steak." Gloria answered.
"...Then you know what's it made of right?" Popeye asked again trying to see if they understood the implication.
"Hmm, actually now that you say that we don't. I mean it can't be different from what we eat right?" Marty says not realizing what steak came from and where they get it. Popeye sees this and realize he's going to have a long talk with them. Sitting down and really not liking he has to be the one to deal with emotional problems, he knows that this can't be ignored. It's honestly a miracle in the past 3... 4 days Alex hasn't gone berserk to feed his starving hunger. For People this can be done as the human body can live without food for at least 23 days while thirst for drink such as water is constant as the body needs water from dyhration that can happen in 3 days. So with a heavy sigh, yet willingness to talk about it as the three animals noticed his change of demeanor, this needs to be discussed.
"Is everything alright?" Melman asked concern for their human friend.
"Well... it should be. But you guys need to understand about where steak comes from." Popeye started as he would have to give the bad news to them and how humanity has operated for long time.
"First you must understand that steak is meat, for someone like Alex it's editable, juicy and tasty, even humans can grill and cook it." Popeye said as he will have to wait on them to understand what is happening.
"Wait humans can eat steak? Huh never realize that." Melman said as this was first time knowing this.
"Yeah steak is good and it's meat can be sweet and juicy when need be." Popeye admits, but mentally slap himself as he got caught up about food since staying on the island.
Get a grip Popeye, you need to focus and allow the animals to understand that this is serious business.
"Man, no wonder Alex always enjoyed it. Though I prefer something green, guess it's a different taste even for animals." Marty said as he thought about it and did wonder how it taste for Alex.
"Yeah, but besides this there is something you need to understand. When it comes to meat, where do you think they get it?" Popeye asked what is the hardest question for anybody to know about.
"Well sure, it comes from the ground like all plant? Since plants comes from the ground, so does steak as well." Melman answered. If Popeye could he would smack himself on the forehead so many times it wouldn't be funny.
"Unfortunately, no for that. See you guys and I are people, and we have muscles and blood following in our veins. But in our body's is red meat, and that red meat for certain animals is what can make steaks." Popeye explained, now that he said it he hopes that this would be understood that Alex is like a ticking time bomb waiting to happen if they don't give him something to eat.
"...Hold on, did you call us steaks? Cause I don't see myself as any steak." Gloria almost appeared angry at the notion of Alex eating their friends.
"Well, that's because your alive. See the steaks that are used are from another animal known as cows, and killing them makes steaks. But just because they become steaks doesn't mean your not steaks as well. For Alex he needs to have meat, and that meat is all of us. Honestly after couple of days without eating food he hasn't attack us all at some point." Popeye said wondering what Alex would lose himself in his hunger.
"Now hold on, do I and all of us look like steak to you?" Marty accused Popeye as he didn't like where this was going.
"Nobody is steak except when cut, but beside the point your friend will at one point may try and eat you guys. More so the Zebra since Lions are known to eat prey such as you guys." Popeye pointed out as Gloria and Melman look at one another in concern. While they didn't want to believe their friend could turn on them, some of what Popeye said started to make sense as well. The times while they been here Alex had not eaten anything, in fact he just felt disgusted by the food he ate involving leaves, plants and anything green in general. Both found as they put two and two together that what Popeye is saying started to scare them on the inside as this means right now, Alex could attack them if he doesn't eat anything soon.
"You're crazy, you know that Alex wouldn't try and eat us. And I'm going to prove it." So Marty went off and tried to convince Alex to come with them as Alex refused to see things differently on his stubbornness. But while Marty is away Melman and Gloria would asked Popeye what they could do about it.
"Say Popeye, if this were to happen. how can we help Alex by some chance?" Gloria asked.
"We have some ideas, but you would have to fish." Popeye pointed towards the ocean. After few minutes Marty returned and not too long so did Alex who started to reform his friendship with Marty and the others. Apologizing for his stubbornness and what he said towards his friend. But as the night is young so too are things to come.

Nighttime - Lemur Meeting
As everyone else is doing their own thing, King Julian and the other lemurs have a meeting discussing about the current problems namely the Fossa, The New York Giants and Shadow Stealers. As they talk they discussed about the current problem like the giants and Fossa. The Later has always been a problem for the lemurs since who knows how long. King Julian is discussing his thoughts and plans to use the giants to finally scare away the Fossa from their lands and live peacefully without being hunted again.
"Now hold on everyone, shouldn't we be concern about why the Fossa are scared of Alex in the first place? I mean what if he's more of a problem then the Fossa maybe we should be scared as well." Maurice express his concerns about the giants and why the Fossa are scared of them.
"Now Maruice, you know that since you didn't raise your hands up, that we will not put on record your comments about them. Now does anyone else have anything to say about the giants? If not have a cookie." King Julian said as every Lemur shouted for joy.
"Alright putting that away we also should discuss about the other thing." Maurice spoke of what is the latest threat.
"Ah yes, the Shadow Stealers. Is it that time again?" king Julian asked.
"Yep, its a full moon today. Which means that sometimes next night or daytime they will be coming back again." Maurice said as every Lemur dread for their arrival, even King Julian who is relax is fearful of these things. Yet tries not to show it as he is their king and has to be fearless in face of dangers as he thinks to himself.
"Maybe we don't have to?" King Julian started as he thought of another plan in mind.
"Before tomorrow, when we show the giants the paradise of Madagascar, we should also have them help not only to defeat the Fossa, but also fight off those Shadow Stealers. With these guys on our side, but only could we end the Fossa's reign of terror in our simple party life, we will never have to be fearful of the dark ever again." King Julian explained as all the Lemurs cheered.
"Now hold on, while I may not trust that Alex character. I wouldn't force them into facing the Shadow Stealers as well. I mean even the Fossa are afraid of them and we have dreaded the Fossa far longer then the shadow stealers, which I might add has spread terror to us and the other animals. What if the giants can't handle them?" Maurice questioned for everyone to understand.
"You have some point Maurice, but rest assured with our new champion the Daisy Duck convincing them to fight the Shadow Stealers. They will be able to defeat them as one, and we will make sure they have the best time of their lives with us." King Julian declared as everyone cheered once more.

Madagascar - Deep parts of the Jungle
In the darkest part of the jungle after a full moon is shown at the nightly sky. Someone or something is walking through the jungle. What it is or this person is are hard to say, but from what glimpse and shadows to be noticed is that it's not human, but some intelligent being walking towards one section of the jungle.
"At last, once more the nightly sky is covered in full moon, and the hunt will be fierce once more." Said another appearing similar to the first. Once they are out of the tree's shadow they are revealed to oddly be mushrooms They have pink gloves and boots with some orbs around thier body, their heads are purple with yellow rings appearing as part of the mushroom body. They are known as Mushroomon's, both are digimon from the digital world until the Mercenaries came along.
"What are you doing here?" The first asked annoyed that his comrade is here.
"Making sure you do your job right, the boss wants to make sure our heartless army grows into great numbers." The second said to his comrade.
"Hey you can't blame that on me, those heartless appeared in New York on their own. Whoever was there is the one you better gripe about." The first angrily told his partner.
"It isn't just you, lately the others are getting impatient and are wanting to attack the world sooner than later. But we need to gather our forces before our plans go into action. The army we have isn't enough and once more, we need to find a way off this rock to our home." The Second told the first as they walk further down into the jungle as the closer they are arriving the silence grew evermore disturbing.
"But that just means we should take these humans now. We should have enough in our army to finally take this world by storm, if he's worried about returning home, we can just use the darkness to travel back." The first argued.
"You idiot, we don't know what the darkness could do to you or us. This is our first time using this power and even our boss knows that there is something unnatural about its power. For now we do as we're told and not screw our only chance off this rock." The Second scolded his partner.
"Whatever, but all I'm saying is we should at least not wait any longer than necessary." The First said, once they arrive at the destination, they are greeted by a large dark pit that goes down in the dark for who knows how far deep. As the Moonlight shines over the pit so does yellow orbs appear as they multiply and became to move the shadows like some body.
"Alright you guys, it's time for our hunt to begin!" The first raised his hand up as soon the yellow orbs that are yellows began to take the shadows into form and soon the jungle will be on high alert for the storm.

Close to Midnight - Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melman and Popeye
The day was starting to end and soon tomorrow will begin. Popeye stick around since Donald and Daisy are out for now, more so getting to be with one another as Donald is more likely making up time for when they been apart. Popeye didn't mind as he at least would handle any problem that comes at them, but one part of his mind is missing this moment. More specifically the people he knew during his show biz times, seeing these four friends gather together and having fun reminded Popeye of the old days. The times when complicated stuff wasn't as big a problem as it is now. Not like they weren't a problem, but more so manageable.
Now though with Bluto going completely bad like some thug gangster and recruit all their friends into his schemes. It seems Bluto is now embracing his bad guy role in real world times. This only made him feel worse as this could mean that Bluto could go on the deep end if that happens.
Currently Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria are right now going to sleep for the night as Alex is still awake and walks up to Popeye.
"Hey Popeye, mind if I we talk for a moment." Alex asked Popeye who nodded. Both of them moved away from where the others are sleeping as Alex and Popeye sat on the logs by themselves.
"So, I been thinking, and I never really said or been nice to you guys since we have been here. So, I just wanted to say thank you for helping us out here since we got stranded on this... place." Alex couldn't speak of the term wildlife as this was something beyond his control.
"Don't worry about it, if anything when all that stuff happen, we came out of nowhere, and you were trying to help your friend in some sticky situation. I probably had done the same thing if I was in your shoes." Popeye said as he knew that when it comes to taking care of your friends, you try to priorities those you care most over others.
"Feet actually since we don't wear shoes. Although I'll be honest, it has been rough for some time. I mean yeah I had everything and I was adored by many fans, but I haven't been that great of an friend to Marty when we're supposed to be best friends. All he wanted was to explore something new and get out in the wild, but I was too selfish to understand that. That didn't help that when those Night Crawlers came around you guys appeared and attack them-" Alex had no words as it was all strange during the time.
"Hey like I said, would have done the same thing. But at the same time, I'm honestly glad we having this talk." Popeye said as he and Alex sat with the fire going out.
"Why's that?" Alex asked unsure where this is going.
"Alex, you obviously care about your friends and while you have had focus on your own problems, you still care for them. But that is also why before something bad happens, I want you to know that no matter what, remember your friends and resist the urge." Popeye suggest knowing they will have to solve this problem sooner then later.
"The urge? What urge?" Alex asked not sure what Popeye is talking about.
"Let's just say there are too many ways to get yourself steak." Popeye mysteriously said as he didn't want to trigger anything from Alex since he doesn't know if telling him would be the right call now, but at least give hints to what could happen if Alex doesn't control himself.
"Anyway, thanks for your help. None of us would be okay if you guys didn't stick around. I mean that, since you guys came it has been a bit easy for us to be on this island. And I hope we can get along better in the future. So, thank you for what you guys have been doing." Alex thanked Popeye as Alex yawned feeling tired.
"Your welcome, you guys just rest me, Donald and Daisy will be watching the night." Popeye assured Alex.
"What afraid that something going to scare us?" Alex joked, Popeye smiled at that as Alex joined the others sleeping in.
But once Alex is asleep, he frown a bit as he said, "There are something that can scare you." Popeye comment. After some time Donald and Daisy came back and from what it appears they maybe closer than before.
"So, they fell asleep." Donald said.
"Yep, all is peaceful. But I still worry about Alex, to be honest I don't know if giving him fish would be helpful since he's you know big." Popeye express worry for the lion.
"Yeah, but's it's all we got for now. And there is no telling if when those heartless will come back. But I am glad to find Daisy is here, even if it was by chance." Donald admits, as he used his wing to hold on to Daisy's wing.
"Say about Alex, did he make up with Marty?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah, he did. And I hope it stays that way." Popeye hopes it was the case as he didn't want Alex to try and kill his friend when things get bad.
"Well for now, we should make sure no heartless are around." Donald said, both Popeye and Donald would than explore the jungle while Daisy stayed behind and made sure the animals are okay for now. But during the night the four animals are in for a surprise as the next morning will be filled with things that isn't expected.
Next Day
"Wake up Mr. Alex."
"Wake up Mr. Alex."
"Rise and Shining, wakey-waking Mr. Alex?"
"WAKE UP! ALEX!" King Julian exclaimed surprising Alex as it appears that the Lemurs are more resourceful to not only moved the group from the shorelands but keep them asleep and drag them towards the deep jungle without waking them up.
"You suck your thumb?" Melman comment as he caught Alex doing that the second time and now this time everyone could see it. Daisy laugh along with Donald as both couldn't help finding it amusing.
"Yeah, laugh it up ducks." Alex grumbly said to them. The group than noticed they aren't on the beach anymore, instead are moved towards what can be considered the homeland of the Lemurs.
"Say weren't you guys supposed to you know keep us safe?" Alex asked Popeye, Donald and Daisy.
"Well, they told us what was going on and it seems okay." Donald said.
"Do not blame them, we simply wanted to surprise you without waking you giant freaks from us moving you. For welcome my friends to Madagascar." King Julian announced to at first the four animals didn't understand what he said. All the while he stood on stilts that allowed him to look at the giants on eye to eye level.
"Madagascar, its where we are and located in the world." Popeye explained. Without saying anymore, the four animals would then look over the horizon and see the most beautiful scenery they will ever experience. As they stared off into the distance the four animals had their breath taken and started to run around the fields, finally feeling the freedom that all animals should experience even Alex who was reluctant at first started to enjoy the fields. But while the animals are finally enjoying themselves King Julian came walking towards them.
"Say human and two small friends of giant land, would you guys be staying with us for some time?" King Julian asked them hope they will say yes.
"Yeah, we will, until those monsters are gone we won't be going anywhere." Popeye said.
"Really, oh that's good. They have been such terror to us in shorter time than you know things." King Julian didn't want to say Fossa as it gets bad reaction from the Lemurs.
"If it means anything we wouldn't have left regardless. For we're worried about these guys and if Alex would react badly." Popeye stated as Donald and Daisy joined the Lemurs as they are now partying.
"Don't worry yourself human, we will make sure your friend is okay and welcome as he and his friends are our honored guest. Come on everybody let us bogey." King Julian announced to everyone. As this went on, Maurice stood next to Popeye looking up.
"Excuse me um... Popeye, correct?" Maurice wanted to at least get the name right as Popeye nodded.
"What can I do for you?" Popeye asked.
"You said you're worried for them, care to tell what is there too concern?" Maurice had some suspicions for awhile and somehow have this gut feeling that Alex is someone dangerous. Popeye look around to make sure no one was listen, Maurice did the same as he felt this needed to be talk privately.
"Alright, I'll let you in on what you need to watch out. But don't freak out or sound the alarm until it happens. It's about Alex and how he hasn't had food for some time." Popeye knee down and whispered to Maurice ear as he listens.
couple of hours later - wild madness
Everyone is enjoying themselves as the party started to go crazy. All the Lemurs started to party out hard as they rock and roll with much bogey than they ever have done before. For this day was a celebration that King Julian and all the lemurs couldn't forget, well maybe Melman will remember as he does see many code violation that human laws would have prevented if they were here.
Each of the guest is enjoying themselves as Melman and Gloria are dancing to the music, Marty is having some drinks as he enjoyed himself. Popeye is relaxing as he watches the party go on while Donald and Daisy are dancing together. Alex however seemed to be crazier than usual as he began to be wilder and out of control instead of enjoying himself and having excitement for the party. As for King Julian, Maurice and Mort they sat towards the throne as King Julian is enjoying himself.
But on the background watching from the high places are the Fossa as they are wondering what they should do or at least whatever they are thinking at the moment. On another side is the two Mushroomon as they are standing out of sight watching the lemurs partying with their new friends.
"Well, well, well looks like we got some new guest." Second Mushroomon said as he watches them partying about.
"Hmm, what about the human. Why is there a human in the jungle?" First Mushroomon questioned as he wasn't too sure after seeing the human.
"What, after what you said last night your concern now?" The Second Mushroomon question his partner.
"No, I just have this weird feeling we shouldn't fight this guy. I mean, look at him. He seems like those champion or ultimate digimon you don't mess around." The first Mushroomon argued as he wasn't sure if this guy was someone you would want to tango.
"Maybe, but I feel that we need to spice this up. So far these lemurs and other animals are being too light-hearted, and I feel something bad is going to happen." The Second Mushroomon said looking at Alex who appears to be adnormal for some reasons. The Digimon smirk as he started to realize that this lion is looking at the animals like some meat on stick as Alex drools somewhat to the crowd he's in.
Marty than suggested to the others about Alex preformance and wanted to him do his act in front of this crowd. For the others that haven't known about Alex is something of interest. This felt like some circus preformance as Popeye watch Alex do some flips and jumps along with other stunts.
"Huh, this is what he did most of the time?" Daisy asked, amazed by his talent.
"Yep, he was king of New York as he did this every opening to closing time." Gloria said as she watch Alex preform to everyone.
"That's actually pretty cool, although doesn't he seem... wild than usual?" Donald questioned.
"He does seem, a bit unhinged?" Melman said also agreeing with Donald.
"Relax, this is Alex he's just finally getting used to the wild just like the rest of us." Marty assures them. But this only worried Popeye as he started to see that Alex is losing himself. That only enforced these ideas as Alex stared at the lemurs with wild eyes as he is imaging them as steaks. His claws appeared like blades as Popeye saw this and realize that Alex is truly losing himself. Rushing ahead he quickly moved as Alex jump off and was about to attack Marty as he grabbed Alex by the throat, but is mindful of his strength when this happen. This also silence the crowd of Lemurs surprised and shock by what just happen.
"Popeye? What are you doing!" Marty exclaimed in shock as Donald and Daisy got ready as Popeye place Alex down roughly as Alex is unable to control himself.
"He's going wild, he's now looking for some food." Popeye stated, placing himself in front of them.
"Wild? isn't that supposed to be the point?" Marty questioned as he wasn't sure what he meant.
"He means that your friend was trying to eat you." Maurice joined them as he walk over, "I been told about Alex and I can say he's already becoming a predator worse than what we had to run from." While he could have said Fossa, that would have made unnecessary panic from the Lemurs.
"Wait a minute, this is nothing. He was only going to hug Marty before our freakish human grabbed him by the neck." King Julian tried to assure everyone.
"No, he's not your brilliant plan failed Julian. He's has to be banished before we are eaten alive." Maurice told King Julian as he knew this has to be done now.
"Wait hold on, what are you talking about?" Marty asked them.
"Yeah he's, our friend. Alex wouldn't hurt any of us." Gloria said defending Alex.
"Oh boy, listen maybe where you come from you probably sacrifice your people is common. But here you either get eaten or survive long enough to die peacefully, which isn't that common in all honesty." Muarice said to them.
"Hold on. That night, you explained about that steak thing. Are you saying..." Melman didn't finished as he and Gloria starting to understand what he tried to warn them about.
"I'm afraid so, the way Alex is now. Everyone is steak to him." Popeye answered, this made the two horrified at the idea that their friend they knew for ages is now trying to kill them where they stood because of his hunger cravings.
"Sadly the human is right, for you see when it comes to Alex and Fossa. WE are all steaks!" King Julian said dramatically.
"You have to banished him; he has to be with his own kind." Maurice firmly told King Julian as this was for the best.
"Yeah, yeah I got it." King Julian than made some decree as he would stance Alex to banishment. But as this happens, the Mushroomon stared down as one smirk to grinning evilly. Without saying a word he snap his fingers as heartless started to appear, they ranged from Shadows, Soldiers, Large Body, Powerwild, Bouncywild, Sniperwild, Cherry Ape, and Wild Shaman as all the heartless surrounded the lemurs and animals alike.
"SHADOW STEALER!" one of the Lemurs shouted in panic as everyone screamed and ran for their lives. As this happen Alex stood on all four legs and growled as he wanted to eat everyone here.
"He's gone savage." Mort muttered scared for his life.
"Everyone RUN!" King Julian commanded. As this happen everyone scattered to all over the place, but the heartless surrounded Popeye, Donald, Daisy, Marty, Melman, Gloria, Mort, Muarice, and King Julian. But among them Alex already started to attack the Heartless uncontrollably as this gave them some distraction.
"Everyone get out of here! We will handle these guys." Popeye commanded them.
"And how do you think we're to escape?" Marty questioned as they couldn't move from their spot.
"Than step back!" Gloria told them as she rushed over and body slammed shadows and Powerwild into dust.
"Figure it out, ATTACK!" With this command by Popeye everyone scattered with some staying behind to protect themselves.
"I think I stand here for now." King Julian said.
"Agreed." Mort and Muarice said together.
Warning!
Warning!
Wild creatures have appeared!
Escape the Darkness!
Ready?
FIGHT!
As everyone scattered as they tried to get out of the situation. The only one's not willing to fight are King Julian, Mort, Maurice and Melman as he was too scared to fight the Heartless, this has led to Gloria protecting him from danger from all sides. She had used her own body weight against the heartless as he tango with them easily dispatching them without too much trouble. Marty used ran around trying to escape, but unwillingly lead Alex following behind as Alex tear down every heartless that appeared trying to kill Marty for steak in his eyes. In the mist of chase, Alex manage to bite onto Marty once and claws only for another heartless to tackle Alex as this frustrated him and chased Marty once more. Donald and Daisy stayed close with King Julian, Mort and Maurice as they made sure that none of them were taken. But among the fighters Popeye was the only one who manage to clean the area quickly as the heartless mindless instincts didn't help them as much.
This didn't take long as the are cleared up enough for everyone to escape. First is Daisy, Donald, King Julian, Maurice and Mort to escape through the trees as Popeye help them escape. Melman and Gloria ran off as quickly as possible before the heartless could encircle them once more. Marty and Alex continued the chase as Marty manage to escape with Alex following behind ready to pounce Marty for steak if not for Maurice good aim towards Alex bonking his head and awaken him from his daze berserk state as Popeye ran past Alex as the heartless scattered after every lemur around.
"Nice shot Maurice." King Julian complimented with Donald, Daisy and Maurice standing beside him.
"Thank you." Maurice said. Once Alex eyes started to clear up he realize what he has done as he's now horrified of himself.
"I'm sorry Marty. What is wrong with me?!" But as he place his paws on his head, he saw his paw grew claws making him afraid of himself, "I'm a monster." Whispering to himself as he ran off towards the Fossa side of the land.

2 days - Reality sinking in
What a Wonderful World (Background song full version)
As everyone went on their own ways. Things didn't look good for anyone at this point, for the next two days it was crazy around as Marty, Gloria and Melman started to realize that everything they have experience so far wasn't all as peaceful as it was meant to be. Marty took it the hardest as everything and every predator killed all their prey without mercy or consideration. It became obvious from the start that only the survival of the fittest matter in the wild. For each of them Melman's view of the wild is worse than before as he realizes that even if the diseases or health wouldn't kill you there are animals that would eat him alive. Gloria felt depress as no matter how small the creatures that are cute and cuddy they don't survive in this wild. Marty had many emotions and even tried to help some of the animals survive only for it to be worse then before.
As for the Alex, he had a rough journey towards the fossa side of the land. This being he had to deal with his claws too sharp and how he kept getting stuck on somethings along the way. Worse is when he fell down through a slope he experiences pain from rolling, flowery one moment and rocky slopes another. Than he was fell into the river that lead towards the waterfall as he fell down hard. Once he was down he eventually found himself in the Fossa lands, from there he barricade himself by sharping some wood to spikes and trapping himself in some corner. He would have to make sure he wouldn't be caught up or try and eat his friends.
King Julian and the Lemurs continued to hide and with some help from Popeye, Donald and Daisy they would fight off the heartless horde left and right. But that was easier said than done as Popeye, Donald and Daisy experience some harsh times as the Mushroomon watched from the background always causing some trouble and making things not so easy for the group. The more they take care of the heartless, the more they began to appear as they replace the destroyed heartless with more as Popeye used much of his strength, almost tempted to use Spinach. Yet held back as he didn't want to waste his can of Spinach just yet. Donald and Daisy felt the most helpless as this world has restricted them from using their full abilities, but even than they would continue doing their best as being together help soften half of the hard times.
Out in the oceans others have experience some problems, taking place 2-3 days before the present. For Bugs, Jerry and Mr. G&W they help the best they can trying to get the ship moving. All the while Bugs thought back to his latest encounter with Elmer Fudd as he couldn't help feeling that everything, he has done to this point could have been better if he was nicer to everyone instead of having bad attitudes. Bugs had some flashback to the times outside of show biz how everyone was together. How Elmer despite his character is someone you could depend on as he was kind and caring towards people who weren't jerks to him. Even remember that one birthday time how Daffy, Elmer and Sam made this birthday short which was something special. He had his attitude yes, but he cared for them and wished now more than ever he changed some of his attitude now. Same is felt with Jerry as he wonders what Time is doing now.
The penguins took moments to look at the Antarctic and found despite what they have obtain, they shook their heads in disappointment as this was the home of all penguins, now they realize what they had for some time was good life for them. Yet despite that they cheered each other as Skipper plans on locating themselves in warmer places cheering them up. The Chimps went along as they help everyone get set for the trip and will help the humans set sail in the oceans. Elmer Fudd continued to follow behind the ship that has finally set sail once more. The trip towards Madagascar wasn't easy as Elmer can give testimony that the trip there wasn't easy. But while he followed behind, he had some thoughts and frowned to himself. Sure, he has power and he can do mean things, but becoming evil wasn't the deal. But shook those thoughts as he didn't like what Bugs just recently did and continued his pursuit towards them.
The final shot is back with Madagascar of Marty, Gloria and Melman taking on good view of the paradise they once believed only to realize for this wildlife all animals dream about, there is a price of needing to stay strong and survive as Marty realize what life they had and Alex was right. Now knowing that Alex problem is not the food, but the means of getting food is because he was born to eat steak and everyone here is steak even if they are alive.
Present Time
"What have I done. Alex is all out there alone and its my fault. Popeye was right." Marty said sadden by what is happening to Alex.
"We didn't want to believe it either, but I guess we had the good life that this sort of problem never happens before." Gloria said as he remembered the days they were in the zoo.
"We have to get Alex back, if we have people around we could help him with this problem." Marty said thinking this could help Alex return to normal.
"You do realize that those steaks are made by other animals, you know us or cows." Melman reminded them.
"It's better then leaving our friend out in the wild where he would eventually eat us." Gloria argued as this was the only solution she can think about.
Suddenly from one direction there is horn sound from away from them. Both Gloria and Melman knew it was a ship and rushed over hoping this could help Alex, as for Marty he look back and knew he could at least do something as his friend. It's reckless yes, and pretty much dumb on his part as he's one diner away from being Fossa food, but a good one as Marty thought shaking his head he ran towards where the lemurs explained is Fossa territory hoping he could at least talk some sense into Alex.

Madagascar/Earlier - Shorelands/Popeye, Donald and Diasy
The trio sat taking a deep breath as everything started to get out of control. So far, the heartless have been more relentless as they attack when lemurs and other animals are around. Even worse they had to run and hide all the time. Now the Lemurs are located on the Shorelands, all gathered and on watch for anything that may try and kill them since they don't know if the heartless will attack them now or later. It has been rough two days as everyone is trying to get through these countless heartless attacks. Currently Donald and Daisy are smack dab in the middle of the lemur crowd with Mort resting his head on Daisy's back, normally he be next to King Julian as he's always had this clingly feeling to King Julian's feet. As For Popeye, he was walking around at least twice from every 10 minutes or so, but is greeted by King Julian and Maurice as they went to talk with Popeye.
"Is everything clear of those shadow Stealers?" King Julian asked looking paraniod as he look left and right with his eyes.
"For now it is, I'm just surprise at the amount of heartless that appeared." Popeye said as he couldn't help wonder how they are this great in numbers, "You guys said they have been around for shorter time then those Fossa, right? How did they appear exactly?" Popeye questioned both King Julian and Maurice.
"Well, we don't know how they came. But we do know that they appear at least after full moons, than they attack us rentlessly as they have continued appearing every full moon." King Julian answered.
"This would be the seventh time they appeared, they started out as small numbers like giant shadow bugs with yellow eyes. But then each time they appear they grew in numbers and started to become more dangerous each time." Maurice explained.
"We tried to hide in places that they wouldn't reach, but hiding wasn't enough. They even attack on highest trees and secret locations. It's like they knew where we are hiding and attack without mercy." King Julian said with fear in his eyes widen as he slowly explained.
"Sadly the only thing we could do is run from them, we barely lucky this time around. If it wasn't for Duck lady we wouldn't have been worse than before." Maurice said thankful for Daisy assisting them.
"That's why she's your protector, she help you survive those creeps." Popeye concluded smiled as he look towards Donald and Daisy's location.
"Yeah, even help with the Fossa attack when she's around. Although she was more than likely hoping you were here and looked for anyone, she was familiar. But we do appreciate all of you staying to make sure those monsters aren't here." Maurice gave his thanks to them.
"And somehow get rid of the Fossa." Popeye stated.
"Yes, an old problem even our fathers and mothers have to endure for long time." King Julian said dramatically as he felt sad at his failed plan.
"Hey, is it just me or is something coming towards us from there?" Maurice asked as he spotted something red sailing towards them on a ship. When Popeye looked along with others noticing his eyes widen and shouted to everyone.
"EVERYONE MOVE NOW!" He warned everyone as they spotted this unknown threat as the ship is sailing towards them with a horn getting louder by the second. In short time the ship sailed and crashed landed on the beach as they blow the horn once more. At the same time Gloria and Melman arrived and saw this as it was the ship they went overboard. But what surprise them next is four black creatures sliding down revealing to be penguins along with the two chimps and Mr. G&W who jump from high up and landed on his feet as he stood up holding Bugs and Jerry in his arms.
"We made it Skipper." Kowalski said as he took in the surrounding view.
"Indeed, we did now this is more like it. Nice sunny day, lovely tropical forest and food that can be eaten. Should have thought of places like these years ago." Skipper said mostly to himself.
"Well, we didn't know about the Antarctic was going to be that bad." Private added.
"All in the past Private." Skipper said.
"Oh no not you guys." Gloria groaned as he couldn't believe they are here.
"Eh, what's up docs?" Bugs asked.
"Bugs, Jerry, Mr. G&W you're okay?!" Donald shouted as he and Daisy rushed over.
"We should be saying the same about you guys. Sorry we couldn't be here sooner." Bugs apologize to them.
"Nah that's okay. We wouldn't be here if we didn't know how to survive being thrown overboard. But we also found Daisy here." Popeye said showing Daisy is here and okay.
"Daisy, does that mean-" Bugs didn't finish as Daisy explained.
"Sadly no one was with me. I was alone until you guys showed up." Daisy said making some of them sad at hearing the news, but Bugs figure there should be some bright side to this news.
"For now, finding one of our friends is still good in my book. Glad that your okay Daisy." Bugs said as Daisy smiled at hearing this.
"You animals and humans are really tough, I respect that in you guys." Skipper said to Bugs and Company that is together again.
"Hold on before you get into some random conversation, what happen to the people?" Gloria demanded from the Penguins.
"We killed the crew and ate their livers." Skipper said creating awkward pause from everyone.
"Kidding, we just put them on a sail boat to China." Skipper joke.
"That's some humor you got Skipper." Bugs blankly said giving a deadpan stare towards Skipper.
"Everyone a critic, anyway where are the other two friend of yours?" Skipper asked, Both Gloria and Melman turned only to see that Marty isn't around and realize he must have gone to help Alex.
"Oh no, we went after Alex." Gloria worriedly said as she could imagine bad things happening back there.
"Don't worry we'll help save your friend." Skipper declared as he talk with his guys for a game plan. Popeye pulled out what can be seen as one can of Spinach in his shirt, seeing he can't always use this as it only for emergency and when in tough spots. Not like he can't make more, but using them sparely is what's best since in his world and show biz he can have infinite amount as he like, but for this case it's for a good cause. Popeye walk up to King Julian and Maurice giving them something that can help.
"Here, take this." Popeye kneel down and gave his can of spinach to them that's open.
"Okay, eh... what is it?" King Julian asked.
"It's my personally made spinach, unlike normal spinach this will make you super strong and stuff. You only need to eat this once and it will help you fight anything that tries and hurts you." Popeye explained. The can is at least big enough to be half of King Julian's size as the can if shared is enough for everyone even if small bite.
"You think this can of spinach will help us?" Maurice asked unconvinced about this... spinach.
"You'll be surprise. Just know that this spinach will save your lives if you eat enough for you and everyone to share." Popeye assured, as he went ovet to help plan to recuse their friends. While King Julian and Maurice look at the can of spinach open and wonder how this will help them.

Fossa Side - Marty confronting Alex
On one hand what Marty is doing is considered dumb for the most part. But on the other hand, he was more concern for Alex's safety and sanity as he wanted his friend return to normal now. As Marty walk in the Fossa territory shouting his name as Fossa started to realize they have an unknown visitor. Marty found where Alex is located and rushed over to try and get him out of it.
"Alex. Alex!" Marty shouted.
"Marty? What are you doing here?" Alex asked concern for his friend.
"I came here to get my friend, the boat is here and we're going to get you out of here." Marty stated what their plan of action is.
"Please Marty stay away, I'm a monster." Alex pleaded with his friend.
"No your not, look Popeye explained to us about why your acting like this. I can guess why he didn't tell you because you go crazy on us, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends like we were in the Zoo." Marty paused for a moment as Alex tried to ignore his friend.
Marty sigh at his response and said to him, "I know you think that eating us makes you think your a monster, and truthfully it is scary to think about. But even when we were back home at New York you didn't try to attack us there. I mean we have seen you jump from one fence to another and move around like the rest of us. Sure you weren't hungry, but even if you weren't you could have killed us easily if you wanted too. But you know what you didn't. Now I don't know if that means your still a monster, but in my book that means your still the same Alex I remember from when we were in New York." More silence is met as Alex remained silent for a moment before looking in Marty's eyes and said to him.
"It's not that I'm worried about." Alex muttered and said again louder this time, "I mean, Popeye did try to explain it to me as well. But deep down I didn't want to think that's what he meant. Yet I just... when thinking about it. Steak being animals and people, that's not something you can ignore. I mean, all this time I have been eating what could have been friends I met or animals that had nothing to do with me. Can you imagine you being friends with animals that you care about and suddenly know that your some eating meat machine that's meant to eat other animals. That's terrifying to me, and I don't want to hurt you or anything when I get like this. I don't know how long I have before I become some crazed steak eating manic, but if I don't eat something that's not you guys..." Alex didn't finish as he knew this was for the best. At least from seeing the other Fossa he had some idea he wasn't right in the mind and followed his instincts. That meant he could at least prevent himself in case he went berserk again.
Marty can see where Alex is coming from and honestly he had no words of comfort knowing now that steak means some poor animal is used for food like Alex or Fossa. Not able to ignore the disturbing fact about it, he instead stood his place as Alex laid back facing away from Marty. Than thought of something as he would sing a little song,
Start spreading the news,
I'm leaving today.
We are a great big part of it...
"Come on Alex, you know the rest. Two little words." While to some this wouldn't sound like much to the average person, but even average persons have people they are close more so than others. For Alex he knows what Marty is doing and remembered all the times they spent together. Yes it was a small world around the zoo, but it was home. It was where they lived and would have died if they stayed. But coming here change that and maybe, just maybe that was good. When Alex started to really think about it did this situation really changed what they had during their time at the Zoo. Was what they have now any different from back than to now. As this was coming to him the Fossa slowly sneak around Marty as they wanted to make sure their prey didn't escape.
"Hey Alex, could you come out for a second." Marty pleaded as he began to realize his mistake. He started to shout and pleaded for help as he ran for his life, but even if he could Marty wouldn't get far as this was pointless to flea. Soon they stop Marty in his tracks, but not before someone shouted in Tarzan like way as Melman using the vine swing from the tree branch, but slammed into a rock as Gloria stood there.
"RUN!" Gloria shouted for both of them to move.
"What's the plan?" Marty asked despite the situation.
"This is the plan." Gloria answered as they ran.
"This is the plan!" Marty exclaimed in unbelief.
Just as another chase scene was about to happen Skipper appeared with a flare gun shouting, "Fossa Halt." He than shot in the air as this distracted them long enough for to create a contraption that required a pole and steering wheel along with Private as bait, when it was all finished she shouted to them, "Come and get it." Gaining the Fossa's attention as the battle began.

As the battle started most of the Fossa is focus on the Penguin's trap as others soon joined as Popeye took on Fossa that appeared behind Gloria, Melman and Marty along with Mr. G&W jumping from the sky and he landed in front of them and started to kick and punch the Fossa that would attack them. Others like Donald, Daisy, Bugs and Jerry arrived as they quickly sped past Gloria, Melman and Marty joining the battle to stop them from reaching the others. What is than surprising is two chimps threw poo at the Fossa from the trees as it seem like they were there this entire time.
"Good shot Phil, now fire until you see their mouths open wide, it's more fun to hit their bullseye jaw." Mason informed as the two continue to support from above.
"So, this was the plan?" Marty asked looking at what is happening.
"Yep, this is the plan." Gloria stated, "Now come on."
But before they could run away, they are block by heartless starting to appear forming into some circle that will make sure none of them escape. When everyone saw this they knew that this fight will be hard one. But what they don't know is the Fossa are also enhanced as their eyes glowed with violet as they began to attack.
"Now what?" Melman asked.
"Now... we fight." Without hesitation, Gloria charge in and started to run over some of the heartless without problem.
"Wow." Melman muttered awed and impress by Gloria's fighting and take charge kind of hippo. Marty would join in as everyone started to play their part to fight against both sides that are now working together for their own reasons. From distance away in Are two Mushroomon that are witnessing this battle unfold.
"You are helping those mindless beasts?" The first Mushroomon asked as he saw what is happening.
"For now, once everyone is killed or more so weaken. Their hearts will be added our endless horde of darkness. No one has the power to fight back these monsters and then our revenge will be complete. Which reminds me." As the second Mushroomon look back he wave his hand and more heartless will appear towards where the lemurs are located.

Shorelands - King Julian and Lemurs
As everything is well and good as the Lemurs could finally relax a bit. But what they don't realize is that someone waited until the coast was clear as he stood behind the large ship seeing none of Bugs and friends are around.
"Hmm, I wonder where they are this moment?" Elmer questioned, but unknowingly from Mushroomon to Elmer. The powers of darkness surrounded his body for a moment and gave him boost in confidence and other means.
"But without Bugs to interfere." Elmer chuckled and jump out as heartless of all types from this world appeared surrounding the lemurs.
"Alright you small monkeys, tell me where that screwy wabbit is before I blast you all to bits." Elmer threaten King Julian and the lemurs as more heartless started to surround them.
"Excuse me, you freakishly small human. First we are lemurs there is a huge difference between chimps and lemurs, secondly why is it you have to threaten us with that stick of yours, hmm?" King Julian questioned as this is a first time any lemur has seen some hunting gun before.
"Hey, I'm not small, I was just born this way. And this isn't a stick, it's a gun?" Elmer corrected King Julian.
"Ah huh, and why should that matter." As King Julian questioned, Elmer blankly stare at them along with the audiance and randomly pointed at the closes heartless blasting them as they slowly fell down and turned to dust. This scared the lemurs now knowing why Elmer threaten them with what they call stick.
"Unless you lemurs want to see my boomstick again, tell me where that screwy wabbit is before I blast you by the count of 10." Elmer than started counting down and bfore he knew what was going to happen. Maurice by impulse grab some spinach and gave some to King Julian shoving it into his mouth and some for himself as he ate them. In seconds both King Julian and Maurice started to react greatly as their body's got strong and by the time Elmer finished his counting, fired at King Julian. When this happen all the Lemurs gasp in shock as their leader is killed or at least should have been as even Elmer is shock what he's seeing. For what happen in that moment was King Julian shock himself caught the bullet and was stronger then any gun the world could have offered.
"Wow! I been working out!" King Julain excitedly shouted. Before Maurice could correct him Mort who also ate some Spinach rushed past them in fury and grab the gun twisting it into some metal bow.
"Uh oh?!" Elmer fearfully said as Mort grabbed his finger and toss him back and forth over his head and spin him around as Mort said, "NOBODY! HURTS! KING JULIAN!" With one swing Mort threw Elmer Fudd away past the ship as Elmer slide on the sandy beach. Everyone couldn't believe what is happening as the heartless stared blankly without any command for now.
"EAT THE SPINACH!" Maurice shouted commanding all lemurs for their survival. Everyone did this as the Heartless got active and tried to attack them. Some of the Lemurs had to run but not before they are recuse by their fellow lemur who is empowered by spinach as soon all the lemurs are empowered by spinach and started to fight back. As for Elmer, well... let's say that when he did wake up not too long. All the Lemurs surrounded him and was ready to pound him into pieces. If there was any word to say to this Elmer had these words in fear, "Mother." What happen next was screams of pain and cartoonish sound affects as the Lemur beat the crap out of Elmer trying desperately to escape.

Fight in Progress - Penguins, Bugs and Company, Chimps, Gloria, Melman, and Marty
One thing that no one was expecting is how many Fossas actually live on Madagascar. It appeared they came in great numbers surrounding everyone so that they don't escape. But this didn't bother some of them as those who could fight manage to defend themselves. Among them Bugs, Donald, Daisy and Jerry work together to fight the Fossa and some heartless that would appear from time to time. Jerry would control the Fossa by pulling one's hair attacking everyone. Bugs, Donald and Daisy stick together as Bugs back up Donald and Daisy despite their position. The Chimps are still throwing poo but now close to them as the Fossa tried to climb the tree to reach them annoyed by their persistence and mouths filled with poo as well. Gloria used Melman as some whack a mole to try and bash the Fossa stuck in the log as Marty back kick and kicking in general against the Fossa. As this went on the heartless decrease to nothing as they seem to appear somewhere else.
"There's too many of them!" Shouted Private doing his best to fight the Fossa.
"It's been an honor serving with you." Skipper proudly said as he, Kowalski and Rico stood together side by side. But before the fight could continue, there as a loud roar. Everyone stop what they are doing as they see Alex standing on top of some rock as he growled at them down below.
"Alex your back!" Marty shouted in joy as did everyone else with only Popeye, Donald and Daisy as they weren't sure if this was a good thing.
"That's my kill!" Alex proclaimed. This made everyone fearful as Alex slowly and steadily walk towards them like he stalk the prey. Marty can now say as much as he didn't want this to happen, he will still consider him a friend he once knew and will have to embrace what is his gruesome end.
"Hey, Psst." Alex muttered as Marty open his eyes seeing Alex hovering over him smiling, "Thanks for not giving up on me."
This made Marty and others seeing this happy as they realize that Alex despite his position, finally gain control of himself, "Man you had me worried, just cause your a lion doesn't mean you get to sneak up on me like that."
"Guys, I'm going to get us out of here. Now it's showtime." Alex quickly gathered Marty, Melman and Gloria as he started to shout towards the others saying, "My kill, mine!"
"Ah help run!"
"It's Alex the lion!"
"He's gone crazy!"
Soon Bugs and Company started to pick up on what is happening and joined in as they shouted in terror while saying things that made Alex more scary than he truly is now.
"Fear me! Savagery beyond compherension!" Alex declared.
"Run for your lives!"
"He's going to eat us all!"
As this went on all the Fossa are starting to get scared as they back away slowly while some of them even help push them away as the Fossa are unable to understand what is happening.
"This is my terriorty, understand! I never ever want to see you around here again." Alex roared as this scared the Fossa away as all of them now feared and terrified if they face Alex, one is still there as Alex said, "Boo." Easily scaring the Fossa away.
"Alex your okay!"
"He's back baby!"
"Good to have you back!" As all four of them Marty, Gloria, Melman and Alex hugged one another. Everyone else that is there watch and are happy for those four are back together.
"So you finally tamed the stomach huh?" Popeye said knowingly smirk at him.
"Yeah, thanks to you guys following us. We wouldn't be where we are now." Alex said thankful for their help.
"Aw shucks, it was nothing. We're happy you didn't lose control to the point of eating one of your friends." Donald said happy things work out.
"Even so, thank you for stopping me and helping my friends out." Alex gratefully said, Donald smiled along with Popeye and Daisy as they joined the group hug.
"Say a not to be someone interrupting the moment. But what's for lunch." Suddenly Bugs questioned made them worried as Alex also said, "Funny, I was thinking the same thing."

Shorelands - Celebration
Back at the Shorelands, everyone made tables in bamboo and celebrated their newfound freedom from both Shadow Stealers aka The Heartless along with the Fossa now gone forever. In this celebration they found another food that the Penguins along with Bugs and Company help make giving Alex fish. To be frank outside the Penguins the others weren't too sure this would work. But once Alex ate some he did and now has found new food that didn't require Alex starving himself or hurting his friends again. As they ate some food with the honor guest on one side along with Lemurs all sitting on the table and King Julian, Maurice and Mort sitting beside the others. King Julian wanted to propose a toast gaining everyone's attention.
"Attention everyone, excuse me everyone!" King Julian shouted finally gaining their attention.
"Now I want to make a toast to our giant freak friends who not only help defeated the Fossa but have also help stop the Shadow Stealers from killing us. But among them I give great thanks to Alex the Lion. Despite being someone who could have eaten us and his friends, he has tamed the beast that is his ginormous stomach." King Julian said, but then stood up and shouted with joy laughing.
"You see Maurice, my plan work. I'm a genius, give me some love! I'm the one baby!" King Julian continues shouting for joy and did the robot as everyone cheered regardless as they felt happy to not be scared again.
"I also like to make the toast to our friend Alex. For even when he's a pain in my butt or literally. He has the biggest heart I have ever seen, and is one cat you could love." Marty said smiling for his buddy.
"Thanks Marty." Alex said back happy. Soon everyone started to cheer and have fun as they would begin their celebration.
"Well I guess things are back to normal." Bugs said as he along with Jerry, Donald, Daisy, Popeye and Mr. G&W sat watching everyone enjoying themselves.
"And we got another friend back." Popeye said happy to see their friend is okay and able to return.
"Thanks guys, I guess there are more out there you have escape as well?" Daisy questioned.
"Yep, but no matter what happens. We will stick together." Bugs said as he took some water to drink.
"And even if we don't have to look for our friends or complete the mission. I wouldn't mind returning back here again." Donald stated as he enjoyed himself eating some food.
"Oh really?" Bugs teased.
"Yes Bugs I know what I said earlier. And to be frank this really was something I shouldn't be behaving even on other worlds. I guess that I get caught up in my job that it becomes blinding at times." Donald said more so to himself.
"Well, glad to know you still that sour duck we know and love." Bugs joked, this gain some reaction as Donald tried to raise his fist still not used to this world.
"Hey, we should be heading over. King Julian wanted to do something with us, said it will be a party of a lifetime." Popeye said. Soon all of them started to walk over and when they arrived, King Julian instructed them with what he has planned and in short time they would follow his lead when they prepared themselves.

Before the music started King Julian took position on high place towards the trees as he shouted with a loud voice along with Bugs and Popeye down below. Along with Donald and Daisy standing beside King Julian as they manage to stand on the tree branch as Mr. G&W standing right below King Julian as Jerry stood on Mr. G&W head ready to dance.

Manson and Phil got their grove on as Phil was wilder and crazier than Mason as he look at Phil saying to himself "Show off".

Bible Topics:
Restoring Spirit
When it comes to the Holy Spirit, there is more than one way. Not as in multiple ways of restoring the spirit, but more so what God says we must do to restore our Holy Spirit. First let us take this time to truly understand that the Holy Spirit is NOT what, it, or power. But instead, a person, him and companion that you can't see. While we can't do things on our own as having friends, family and lover in our lives is what makes us people or persons. The Holy Spirit however is more then just any person, he's the one close friend that is connected to Christ and our Heavenly Father. He is the holy Trinity that connects everyone to Christ and is freely given as grace and mercy for any who submits to Christ.
Folks we have taken for granted that the Holy Spirit is just our power or it that can save us from sin. But in truth he does so much more and is what connects us from the spirit world to our father above. When you pray, he helps make your prayers clear to God. When you do stuff that you know is wrong, he groans as we're weakening the spirit in us. When you are tried, hurt, crying alone, miserable, feeling angry, desperate for something. We also turn to Christ, but that one person is always by your side to help you to connect with Christ. The Holy Spirit is our guide when we need direction, we seek Christ and in turn the Holy Spirit guides us. When we need comfort sure he will help us in comfort, but what he does is renew your strength as your personal teacher and coach that tells you, "Just one more". As the Provider, we turn to Christ for providing our needs and in turn he as the Holy Spirit helps provide as our roommate.
The Holy Spirit is a person that can do so much more when we bond with Christ and seek aid in spiritual matters, restoring the spirit is also restoring your relationship with the Christ, Lord Almighty and the Holy Spirit walking beside you. Know that when you think of Christ Jesus your thinking of our Heavenly Father, when speaking through Christ towards our Heavenly Father, you're inviting the Holy Spirit to pray beside you and speak on your behalf. When the Holy Spirit is beside you unseen, and your gently guided by him, your listening to Christ as he wants you to do this task. All three persons are one God and One God of three persons. That is the connections, always a single God as our Creator, yet they are three persons as our Heavenly Father, Our Lord Christ Jesus, and Holy Spirit given freely in our submission to Christ. That's how we view the Holy Spirit, and this is how we should remember. He will our partner in Spirit and we can't take him for granted.
Alright with Bugs and Company gone to Madagascar, we now turn to Mickey and Company going to the next world. This will be also the start of adding more cartoon characters into the mix as Looney Tunes are here in this chapter and future chapters ahead. It has been a while, but we're back to the story. If anyone wants to see more of this just give any review if you like. I know that this story has run with only one review, but you know what. This is enjoyable as I rather do something that is fun to do and hoping you guys enjoy it too. Yes, I do take things seriously as more times than not I have taken some moments where the characters do get serious. But outside of that it still has action and adventure in it.
As for news about new stories. I am doing the Samurai Jack x Code Geass crossover. The problem I had first time was in response to everyone wanting to see the crossover, the zeal and excitement faded the moment season 5 introduce some stuff I really disagree towards the end. Now that I have accepted it, the starting of the story will be different. Because of that alone I just drop everything, that and how I started the story wasn't that great. Even attempting it I just couldn't care anymore with season 5 the least and bottom list favorite season. What I did like was not just seeing the show again, but how Jack recovered from himself in his darkest place, I have been there and seeing that as others help Jack realize the good and what he did wasn't in vain.
Anyway, the other story that will be coming is Spider man x Code Gease x Grand Order characters. For this story it will be Spiderman using spider verse logic or whatever the term is for alternate Spidermen and having him crossover with other anime characters in their way. Yet what makes it different is the Sinister 6 is now Sinister 66 core members. But this time the Sinister 66 will have an army calling themselves Sinister Nation. The core story will be focus on Code Geass and everything that comes will be on other anime crossover down the line. For now, it's on production and will be put out down the line.
That being said, some of these movies will be revisited. Since we do have more than one film it be nice to have some revisit just not now. The poll will be up for revisits as some of the Disney that will be involved are inspired by Kingdom Hearts and how revisited worlds with some be different experience. For now, the Poll that will be seen is all your votes will be seen once more and this time all of them will be used just in the order you desire.
P.S. Look forward to later revisit of Madagascar and How to train your dragon in the future.

Character Profile:
Elmer Fudd - One of the many cartoon characters from the golden age of cartoons. He is part of the group of Looney Tunes created during that era, where laughs and funny were common in animated cartoons. He played the gullible yet lovable Hunter that always went on Rabbit season or Wabbit season as he calls it. Most of these encounters involved Bugs Bunny as his entire goal of the short is mostly hunting Bugs Bunny. His earlier shorts had him involve in other things even to the newer ones as sometimes Elmer would have won against Bugs Bunny. Elmer's most famous short had a repeated gag with Bugs Bunny messing with Daffy's Duck cartoon but is reverse as Bug's Bunny cartoon is messed around by Elmer Fudd. However, time is no one's friend as when Looney Tunes short became less and eventually moved on cartoons to the new era. Elmer Fudd went on his own after they were done living the mundane life that actually been great for him. But as he lived this life, he started to miss the good old days and went off to hunting more as time progress.
Eventually with less convincing Bluto came to him through Pete as he was recreated to join their gang. At first, he didn't like the life of crime and hurting others. But eventually made a living by swearing to himself that he will only hunt and kill animals not people. Agreeing to his terms Elmer is the tracker of the group that relied on his hunting skills day by day. While his cartoon made Elmer a joke, his skills in reality became efficient as he could track animals easily without effort and crossed the distance in short time ignoring the logic of reality. But like his cartoon days, he can be outwitted easily when taking advantage of his kind and generous personality since he does trait everyone including his enemies with kindness and respect. His famous hunting gun is actually both one barrel and two that can happen at random. But through this he has at least three options from Shotgun, two-barrel rifle, and hunting rifle gun.
If necessary, he can pull out different guns and bullets for certain scenarios as he has relied on his famous weapon over the years. His good nature personality is too good for this kind of life, he has taken on jobs of the common man when necessary to escape from the hunting and joining the gang when necessary. Because of this fact he can appear at any random place working as either managers or worker depending on the job. Yet he has one grudge he holds mostly towards Bugs Bunny as he hasn't been that successful had considered a joke most of the time when facing him. Because of that Elmer would Join Pete and Gang in order to finally kill the wabbit or beat Bugs Bunny once and for all. When in control of heartless his group will have the similar group of Shadows, Soldiers, Large Body, possible air soldiers, but also his type Zonimals with their pets Feheart and Caheart. Once on the field they only attack animals, not people as many would soon learn.
Daisy Duck - Along with Donald Duck Daisy is one of the six core characters among Mickey and Friends. During the time when golden age of animation came along, Daisy Duck came later in the show biz and other media when creating a love interest for Donald. She can be bossy and talkative and like to hang out with Minnie Mouse from time to time. Sometimes she can be angry with Donald more then Donald himself. Together the six of them have been the main characters/stars of their own series. But after time went by and the golden age of animation started to fade, newer cartoons and ideas had to be made. Now she is a princess and helper to Queen Minnie who helps assist when the boys aren't around. she also come with girl time as sometimes they needed away from duty and other guy activities.
Daisy has some of the skill set as Donald, but her more proficient is her archery. When it comes to the six of them together Mickey is the hero champion, Goofy is the muscle and defender, Donald is the mage with incredible mastery of magic, Minnie is similar to Donald but is more so support for the group, Pluto is their pet mascot and wild beast when necessary and her the archery of the group. When landing on the world where animals can talk and act like people, she is limited to her form and abilities, but once she leaves the world, she appears in pink shirt with no pants like Donald along with bow on her head. Carrying her bow on the back, but can use anything for arrows to fire. She has been able to use magic as arrows, and has good accuracy when it comes to long distance.
It became problematic when Donald started to go on adventure and made some excuse to avoid his dates with her. Yet she also has some faults as Daisy can be bossy and demanding when she doesn't get her way. While this is noticeable, she does has kind heart and recognize her own mistakes. She also has the same ill-temper like Donald but is able to backup her temper problems. As princess and assistance of Queen Minnie, she is in charge of everything that Minnie can't handle herself. When it comes down too it, she would be next in line in charge if anyone isn't around the castle.
Mushroomon/Digimon
As more and more digimon start to appear on other worlds including pokemon. So has their activities are beginning to be noticeable. Currently with these digimon they have formed a group that plans on using the heartless for personal gain and will destroy the human world when given the chance. It has revealed that while the heartless don't attack people, they are also controlled by these digimon. What they plan on doing is with the heartless is more so ready themselves for invading Earth. But it seems their plans will have to wait for the time being as they aren't ready to reveal themselves so far.
The Mushroomon are the virus digimon with mushroom like abilities and attacks as they are able to not only create toxins, but other side effects when exposed. What's also concerning in the evolutionary line isn't something to be underestimated. While it's unknown where they start from as information of their full evolutionary line isn't fully explained, what they digi-evolve is concerning and dangerous. So far out of all the digimons encounter and non-encounters the two mushroomon are the first antagonizing force with possible allies for the world, along with any others that have joined them. Another thing of interest is they haven't given themselves names as it's mostly uncommon for having different names from what they are given.
