Int.
In the control room, Lassie, Sam, and the other hyenas approached their boss. Lola was by Kudrow's side.
"What'd you call us for, boss?" Sam asked
"To show you my newest creation. Matter of fact, he's our star."
"Huh?" Lassie and Sam said, confused
Kudrow sighs in frustration.
"Let me show you."
He pressed a button on the remote and down came a large screen. He switched it on as Daffy and the mysterious figure was in view inside Lobby Room 2.
Lassie and Sam approached forward with interest.
"I'll be damned." Sam said, in shock. "Who's that there critter?"
Kudrow grins devilishly.
"You'll see."
Int. Lobby Room 2
Daffy stood at his spot in complete shock.
"Oh, my...god."
There before him stood someone that looked like a friend he knows but somewhat changed. The figure was a male rabbit with his long ears casted backwards, whiskers on his cheek, and buck teeth. A white circular visor was over the rabbit's left eye, while a tight hidden headset piece on his left ears supported the visor. On the back of his neck was a medium size silver-mech inserted in a metallic neck collar. The center of its body showed a white belly with a clear glass over it engraved with a black and red X symbol, while the rest was made in black and red armor. Short shoulder pads, black metallic gloves, and was barefooted. The armor covered the back of the rabbit, leaving his fuzzy tail showing.
The rabbit eyes was half-opened gazing sternly at Daffy. The expression it was giving Daffy was pure emotionless much to Daffy's hunch.
Daffy had his beak open the entire time, not believing what he is seeing before him. He fought the urge to gulp up saliva before speaking.
"Bugs?"
Holding his stern, emotionless gaze, the rabbit tilted his head a little to the left and spoke in a part monotone, part smart-alecky tone, like an original sinister brooklyn accent.
"Dat's Metra-Bugs ta you." He said, emotionless
Before Daffy could say a word, a medium size screen descends down in between Metra-Bugs and Daffy. The screen came on showing Kudrow's smiling face.
"What's up, duck?" He issued a maniacal laughter after that comment. "How'd you like the improvements I did on your friend here?"
Daffy grew a shocked expression, then replaced it with hatred towards Kudrow.
"You despicable son of a bitch!"
"Now, now. Let's not have none of that. You were invited. This is my house, remember? I can throw you out anytime I please. But since my associates didn't do the job down below, I guess it's only fair to have someone else do my biddings. Someone like...your friend and mentor, Bugs Bunny!"
Metra-Bugs slowly smirked halfway darkly.
"Metra-Bugs, dispose of him."
"Heh, heh. With pleasure."
The screen shuts off and ascended upwards as Metra-Bugs started to approach slowly towards Daffy Duck.
Daffy raised his hands up defenseless while backing up.
"Now, Bugs...wake up, old pal. It's me, Daffy!"
Metra-Bugs shook his head while waving a finger at him.
"Uh-uh-uh. Dere is no Bugs Bunny; Dere is only Metra-Bugs."
Metra-Bugs balled his left fist, veered it back, and charged at Daffy in a burst of illuminated speed.
Daffy's eyes widen.
"Whoa!"
Daffy was quick to dash out of the way of impact as Metra-Bugs lands his fist to the ground creating a huge dent to the metal floor.
Daffy rolls to his knee and feet as he gazed Bugs.
"Bugs, I don't want to hurt you!"
Metra-Bugs sharply gazed towards Daffy and grins.
"Dat's too bad. Cause I really wanna hurt you." He said as his visor glowed automatically.
He gestures his right hand over his glowing visor.
Daffy's eyes widen as particles of energy pulsates on the visor.
Metra-Bugs fired a red beam out from the visor straight at Daffy.
Daffy scatters and leaped behind a steel pillar, having the beam interlock a straight line in the wall, missing the mallard.
Metra-Bugs stood and started approaching towards Daffy's position.
Daffy noticed and desperately took out a tazer handgun. He exhales deeply with his eyes closed shut.
"I'm sorry, Bugsy old pal."
Opening his eyes, Daffy got out and started firing at his friend. Metra-Bugs raised his right arm in front of his face as Daffy fired several shots. The shots repelled throughout the area, hitting metal throughout the entire area. Metra-Bugs was protected by a bluish projector shield.
Daffy grits his teeth in frustration as Metra-Bugs' eye visor glowed, firing a red laser shot at Daffy, who evaded behind a pillar just in time for the projectile to impact on it.
"Damn. Bugsy boy, you're not making this easy for me." He said to himself.
Suddenly, he dropped his gun as a hand grasped Daffy's neck getting him in a choking fit with his eyes bugging out. Metra-Bugs slowly pulled him away from the pillar and grins evilly at Daffy.
"Daffy, I am making 'dis easy for ya. You're just not trying hard enough."
"I'll try harder." He said between his choking.
Using his strength, Daffy swept Metra-Bugs' hand from his neck and threw a headbutt to his friend's head. As Metra-Bugs staggers, Daffy twirls and threw a roundhouse to his face.
Metra-Bugs staggered back a little. But that was only the beginning; for Metra-Bugs shot a grinning gaze to Daffy and threw a devastating back fist to Daffy's face.
"Ohh!" Daffy's voices echoed during the impact of the blow.
Daffy was in mid-air with his beak off his face. His body collided to the wall along with his beak.
"Ouch!" Daffy's beak managed to say by the side of his body.
His body picked up his beak and detached it back in place. Daffy shook his head and regained his sight before gazing forward, seeing Metra-Bugs approaching slowly towards him.
Int. Control Room
Lola gazed the monitor in total surprise at this event.
"Wow. Wish I could've dated him." Lola said
Lassie and Sam snickers as Lola noticed.
"Shut Up!" She yelled
Kudrow picks up the intercom.
"Metra-Bugs, begin probing procedure."
Int. Lobby Room 2
A long inch probe extended out of Metra-Bugs' armored wrist.
Daffy quickly noticed and frantically backs away.
"Oh, shit, a shot? No thanks. I've been to the doctor."
"Actually, it's a probe. Prepare to be assimilated."
Electricity sizzles around the probe as Metra-Bugs lunges forward and quickly extends his arm out straight at Daffy's neck.
But Daffy desperately grabbed his arm with both hands, gritting his teeth and struggling to keep the probe from getting inches to him. As Metra-Bugs grins with electricity crackling inches from Daffy's neck collar, Daffy gazed his pupil downward to a plug hole. He then took notice that the trail leads to the hidden cameras in the lobby.
Daffy grits his teeth tighter and gained a huge amount of courage before glaring at Metra-Bugs not as his friend on the inside, but his enemy on the outside.
"Probe...this!"
With all his strength, Daffy forced the probe down in front of the plug hole and inserted it in causing a chain of electricity surging from the plug hole into Metra-Bugs' body and armor.
"AAH!!" Metra-Bugs screamed
The electricity trailed from the plug holes to the hidden cameras in the lobby, destroying them one-by-one.
Int.
Eight screens that monitored the lobby room started shutting off from the big screen as Kudrow was frantic.
"What's happening to the screens?! What's going on?! What the...!"
"Sir..." The technician started to say.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!" Kudrow screeched
"Sir, the cameras are destroyed from the lobby room."
"WHAT?!"
Int. Lobby Room 2
Metra-Bugs held his head with both hands, screaming in pain as Daffy stood up to his feet, breathing heavily.
Abruptly seizing his screaming, Metra-Bugs glared Daffy to death before balling his two fist.
"You'll pay for dat!" He roared
Daffy kept his glare at Metra-Bugs before balling his fists and getting into a fighting stance.
"Let's dance." Daffy said
Metra-Bugs paused, keeping his glare to Daffy.
"Oh, I'd thought you'd never asked."
Metra-Bugs got into a left fighting stance, arms extended out before he waved Daffy on.
Daffy dashed on as he and Meta-Bugs started trading blows from punches to kicks. Each parrying the others moves. Most of the time, Daffy tried to prevent Metra-Bugs from landing blows to him due to his armor that can literally stun Daffy in an instant, giving Metra-Bugs the upper hand.
This whole thing kept up as Daffy threw a left hook. Before it could come inches to his face, Metra-Bugs quickly grabbed his arm, gripping his bones in the process.
"Aah!" He wailed in pain
Metra-Bugs then threw a palm to Daffy's face and, with his grasp on Daffy's arm, threw him over to the ground very hard. Daffy grunts in pain after the impact.
Metra-Bugs lifted up his heel and lowered it down hard.
Daffy was quick to notice and rolls away from the hard blow, leaving a dent on the spot.
Before Daffy could stand, Metra-Bugs sped right in front of him, grasped him by the neck, and forcefully threw him against the wall very hard, landing a huge bodily dent to it.
Metra-Bugs approaches fast and grasped him by the neck again.
This time, Daffy swiftly broke from his hold and threw a dropkick to him.
As Metra-Bugs staggers, Daffy squeezed his body from the steel wall, leaving his bodily dent there.
Metra-Bugs dashed forward and threw a devastating right hook. Luckily, Daffy ducked from the attack causing him to hit the steel pillar landing a dent to it.
As Daffy rolled away, he quickly took notice of the silver-mech on the back of his friend's neck and before he could come within reach of it, Metra-Bugs knocked him back with a back fist sending Daffy briefly in mid-air, then to the ground on his back.
Metra-Bugs wasted little time as he approached and grabbed Daffy by the neck, lifted him from the ground and violently threw Daffy onto the steel bench on the other side by a pillar like a rag doll.
Metra-Bugs leaped and landed in front of Daffy before grasping his neck with one hand and winds his right hand back unleashing a second probe from his armored wrist.
"Like I said, Prepare to be assimilated."
Despite his choking state, Daffy started to speak.
"Bugsy, I know...you're in there! You've gotta fight it!"
Metra-Bugs shakes his head.
"No, I gotta fight you."
He winds his right arm back a little.
"Listen, don't do this. You don't want to do this!"
"Yes, I do."
"No." Daffy said as his right eye was closed while his left gazed at his friend emotionally. "Remember who you are."
Metra-Bugs paused a bit.
"I know who I am. Desire is irrelevent. I am...a machine."
Int. Control Room
"Do you have the feedback?" Kudrow asked
"All we got is the communication into Metra-Bugs."
Kudrow picked up the intercom.
"Metra-Bugs, this is your captain speaking."
Int. Lobby Room 2
"Probe the specimen immediately." Kudrow ordered, from intercom
"Aye, aye, captain." He winds his right hand back a little.
"Bugs, don't! Don't listen to him!"
Metra-Bugs softly grins evilly.
"Prepare to be assimilated." He softly said
Tears swelled from Daffy's open eye. Then, said something unexpected to Metra-Bugs.
"Goodbye, Lindsey." Daffy softly said as he cringed his eyes closed, letting the tears flow and awaiting death.
Suddenly, Metra-Bugs stopped in his track. A blank look shoned on his face.
"Lindsey."
Daffy's soft voice echoed in his mind.
Metra-Bugs gazed the flowing tears of Daffy Duck and could see the image of Lindsey Carter on the watery substance. The specimen didn't realize it yet, but it was also in the same fashion that he felt when Lindsey was kidnapped by Daffy about 3 weeks ago.
(Flashback)
The scene shows Bugs and Lindsey under the bridge.
"What's yer name, kiddo?" X asked
The girl swallows nervously before speaking.
"L-lindsey. Lindsey Carter." Her voice echoed
(Flash)
We now see Damon driving the car while Lindsey was talking to him.
"Hey! He saved my life. I owe him that much."
Damon eyes lindsey, then back at the road.
(Flashback Ends)
Metra-Bugs tightly closed his eyes and grits his teeth hard.
These memories.
Where does he know them from?
(Flashback)
Lindsey saw Bugs and had a surprisingly happy look on her face.
"Bugs!"
She rushed and hugs Bugs, who returns it.
"I knew you'd come for me."
"You alright?"
"Never better."
They both release their hugs as Bugs gazes her.
(Flashback Ends)
Metra-Bugs opened his eyes and was breathing heavily as Daffy slowly opened his eyes, noticing that he was still alive.
Int. Control Room
"Is the probing in process?" Kudrow asked
The technician shook his head.
"No, sir. Not yet."
Kudrow grasped the intercom.
"Metra-Bugs, resume procedure of probing now."
Int. Lobby Room 2
"That is an order." Kudrow ordered, from intercom
Metra-Bugs shifted his gaze from Daffy to the side, listening to the voice.
Daffy noticed.
"Don't listen to him, Bugsy. This is the bastard that did this to you!" Daffy said before quickly coming to the realization that someone was missing from Bugs' sight. "He's got lola."
Metra-Bugs looked at Daffy in shock after that name.
(Flashback - Moments Ago)
Before Bugs could look at her, an pulsating electric shock struck his neck head on.
"Aah!"
Bugs kneeled to the ground on one knee as he looked and saw a sight that threw a shocked expression on his face. The person paced casually to his side carrying a tazer stick in hand. Bugs couldn't believe what he was seeing as he rubbed his neck firmly.
"Lola?"
(Flashback Ends)
"Lo...la?" He managed to speak out.
"Metra-Bugs...proceed probing now!" Kudrow barked, from intercom
"Don't listen to him!" Daffy shouted
"Orders, abort. Orders, abort. Orders, abort." Metra-Bugs repeated over and over
Throughout his visor, the commands started overlapping out of control throughout his memory and Kudrow's orders. Who should he obey? Kudrow or Daffy? Follow orders or Abort?
Int. Control Room
(Rapid Beeping)
"Sir, something's wrong?"
"What is it?"
"I appears that he's somehow accessing his memories."
"What?! H-!" He stopped and realized it before getting on the intercom. "Metra-Bugs, this is your captain speaking!"
Int. Lobby Room 2
"I order you to take down the subject. NOW!" Kudrow screeched, from intercom
Metra-Bugs looked at Daffy with a hint of compassion in his heart as Daffy noticed and kept his worried gaze to his friend.
"I love you, pal." He said, very emotionally
Metra-Bugs shakily grits his teeth and before Daffy could pick up on it, Metra-Bugs veers his arm back, then swiftly yanked Daffy away from him as Daffy tumbled over on the floor on his back.
Daffy quickly got up as Metra-Bugs' probe retracted into his armored wrist before he slammed it down on the bench, then raised his left arm up high and struck it down hard onto the steel bench landing a huge as hell dent on it. He didn't stop there. He did his right arm the same way and slammed it down in the same fashion as before.
Daffy cringed at every blow as Metra-Bugs pounded hard on the bench repeatedly til there was nothing left but a huge crater.
Metra-Bugs dropped to his knees after that and collapses to the ground on his right side.
Daffy got up and ran to his friend. He turned Metra-Bugs over on his back.
Lowering his head to his chest, left sided, Daffy checked his heart rate and found that he was still alive. He sighs in relief.
"Oh, thank god." He reassured himself not just because his friend was okay, but that he was still alive.
Right now, Metra-Bugs was unconscious as Daffy decided to leave him be not to let Kudrow's guys notice anything. But before he went, he took off his long tan coat, revealing him in his police uniform, and placed it by his friend's side.
"Just in case you're in the nudies, bub." He said as he ran to the door of the corridor.
Int. Corridor
Daffy sprints towards the elevator, went inside, and elevated to the 11th floor where the cell room is.
Int. Control Room
"Metra-Bugs, respond. Dammit, respond!" Kudrow barked before throwing the intercom in anger. "SHIT! Send the troops down there and apprehend him! I want to know what the hell happened down there!"
"Yes, sir." The technicians said, unison as they typed on the console.
Int. Lobby Room 2
Metra-Bugs laided motionless on the ground on his back with his right eye closed. Throughout the visor on his left eye, his systems program started showing flashing.
...Systems Deactivated...
...Primary Program Shutting Down...
The visor soon went blank.
Suddenly, for some reason, the armor started to glow a bright red and black color before the entire armor vanished instantly. Bugs Bunny was back to normal as his eyes twitched before it opened halfway.
Int.
In the 2nd shaft, a few guards wearing shielded helmets were inside armed with SMG tazer rifles as they waited while soft saxophone music play on the radio.
Int. Lobby Room 2
With his hand shivering, Bugs slowly grasped for Daffy's coat. Then, reach to the back of his neck. With a swift yank, the silver-mech was removed from his neck. Bugs bared his fist tightly, crushing the silver beetle to bits.
Bugs stood and puts on the coat over his naked body as the elevator dings followed by footsteps in the distance. Bugs' back was to the door as the double door opened. Bugs had a stern look on his face as the guards exited the corridor.
(Insert Metallica's "I Disappear" music)
As soon as the guards caught sight of someone in a long tan coat, they got on alert, aiming their weapons at the figure.
"Freeze!" One of the guards said
Bugs turned halfway to the guards, giving them the surprised look as Bugs twitched his whiskers.
"Eh...what's up, doc?"
"Take Fire!" One guard shouted
As they fired, Bugs sprinted to the left as the projectiles impacted with the pillar and wall missing Bugs.
Bugs leaped to the wall.
While the guards moved away from the door firing at him, Bugs side-walked the wall, laser trailing him along the way, and flips off it, landing on his two rabbit feets.
Hey, hey, hey
Here I go now
Here I go in to new days
Upon landing next to the door, Bugs dashes towards the 1st guard in a burst of speed, avoiding the laser projectiles heading his way.
Hey, hey, hey
Here I go now
Here I go into new days
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Here I go into new days
Before the 1st guard could blink, Bugs appeared in front of him and grabbed the rifle before throwing the butt of it to the chin of the helmet and slamming the barrel to the glass of the helmet, shattering it and front kicked the guard to the ground.
Bugs threw down the rifle as the other guards aimed in his direction. Bugs noticed and was bug-eyed.
Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no mercy, ain't mercy left for me,
Hey, hey, hey
Ain't no mercy, ain't mercy left for me,
The guards fired as Bugs leaped and forward-flipped in the air, evading the projectiles. He lands next to the 2nd guard and before he could turn to Bugs, the rabbit grabbed his rifle with both hands and forcefully threw the guard's entire body to the side, snatching the rifle from him at the same time. The 2nd guard collided with the 3rd and 4th guard, knocking them down.
I'm pain, I'm hope, I'm suffer
Yeah, hey, hey, hey
Ain't no mercy, ain't no mercy left for me
Bugs ducks just in time from the projectiles firing at him. While crouching, he turned, aimed, and fired the rifle at the 5th guard by the pillar. The projectile impacted sending the guard against the wall, sizzling with electricity.
Do you bury me when I'm gone
Do you teach me while I'm here
...just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Bugs rolled out the way before a projectile fired on the ground, missing him.
Bugs rolled to his feet and knee before aiming behind him at the 6th guard and fires. The 6th guard evades by the pillar as the projectiles make impact with it.
Bugs quickly hid by a pillar from projectiles fired from the 6th guard and got out from the other side, firing on contact with the 6th guard, getting him to the ground engulfed in electricity.
Bugs raced from the pillars towards the door before projectiles trailed his movement. Throwing down the rifle, Bugs leaps in mid-air, arms spreaded out.
(Music Abruptly Stop)
(Slow-Motion)
As the projectiles passed Bugs' body from head to toe, two clip mags slid from Bugs' tan coat sleeves. Thrusting his arms forward, he throws the clips towards the two guards that are by two pillars firing at him.
The clips hits and tumbles onto the ground.
(Regular Motion)
Bugs rolls to the ground next to the door to the corridor and pressed a button on the panel. The double door opened as Bugs quickly gets in and pressed a button to close the door.
(Music Fades)
Int. Corridor
Bugs ran quickly down the corridor to the elevators.
Int.
As he entered the 2nd shaft that leads straight up to the control room, Bugs pressed buttons to close the door and go to the upper floor that leads to the control room.
Int. Lobby Room 2
The 3rd and 4th guards were semi-conscious as the last two guards approached slowly to examine the clips on the ground. Then, they noticed a red blinking light of the clip and were shocked.
"Oh, shit!" One of them said
Int.
In the elevator, A muffled explosion echoed and the elevator softly rumbled a bit getting Bugs a little off balance before quickly regaining his stand. He smirks.
"Heh, heh. Ain't I a stinker?"
Int. Control Room
Kudrow and the others took notice of the muffled explosion.
"What was that?" Kudrow asked
The technician typed on the console, activating a different camera in the 2nd lobby room.
Kudrow was looking through a different monitor for a camera in Lobby Room 2. On the screen, lots of smoke was blocking the front of the camera before it cleared up seeing the guards dazed up with their suits torn and ripped from the explosion. The guards collapsed to the ground as Kudrow grits is teeth in anger.
Int. Cell Room
(Alarm Blaring)
In the cell room, a few guards were walking pass the cell blocks due to the alarm.
Lindsey and Sandy took notice of this as they approached the bars.
The guards approached the two elevators as they stopped in front of them.
(Elevator Dings)
As soon as the elevator on the right opened, the guards saw the sight of Daffy Duck, who lifted his grinning face at them.
"Surprise!" He shouted
Before the guards could react, Daffy aimed his two handguns at them and fired at two guards. As soon as the two guards were down, he crossed his arms shooting the other two guards behind them with electric projectiles. He kept firing at them with electricity til they were stunned down and on the ground.
Daffy blew smoke out from the tip of the guns, twirls his guns in hand and holsters them.
He started hopping over the guards towards Lindsey and Sandy's cell.
Lindsey and Sandy noticed the quietness and before they could react, they saw the sight of Daffy, who smirked.
"Guess who, girls!"
"DAFFY!" They both shouted in excitement
They both got up as Daffy swiftly yanks the cell open only to be hauled down by the two giarls hugging him to death.
"Whoa! Take it easy!"
"Oh, we're so glad to see you!" Lindsey said
"Me too, sister! Can you let go before my ribs are crushed?"
They both let go immediately as Daffy breaths heavily.
"Sorry." Lindsey apologized
"Don't worry." Daffy said
"Where's Bugs?" Lindsey asked
Daffy paused.
"Probably on his way to the control room." He said, truthfully because he could sense Bugs' movement from his location. "Let's go."
Lindsey and Sandy follows Daffy to the elevator passing the stunned bodies on the ground. One guard started to raise up but Lindsey kicked him in the face, rendering him back unconscious.
"That's for telling me to shut up."
"Come on!" Daffy said as they continued to the shaft.
