I was watching a preview of the film Batman Begins when I had this idea. It's a kind of Parody of Batman. Try and keep an open mind about this. Depending on how well this goes, I may make a small series. Again, no flames please. First, I must say that I'm not a true Batman fan. I just watch some of the films and cartoons every now and again. I have no ideas for my other fics at the moment.
Disclaimer. The Looney Tunes belong to Warner Brothers, not me. I'm not completely sure who owns Batman, not that he's going to appear. I think he bleongs to Warner Brothers as well.
An old legend
A long time ago, the city of Looniville was plagued by an onslaught of evil. Criminal gangs were all over the city claiming the city as their own. The streets were never safe and the police could not cope. The city was plunged into chaos and all hope of a peaceful town seemed all but nothing, until one day a figure appeared in the city. Standing 2ft tall he was only the size of a young rabbit, but looked more like a fox than a rabbit. He was dressed in a black outfit that covered his body completely, preventing identification. The only part visible were his eyes. Even the tail was covered in the black robe. One by one, using incredible acrobatic skills, fighting techniques and unknown gadgets, he defeated each band of gangsters and brought light to the city. Because of a fang design on the robe, he was known as FoxFang, the Knight Toon. When light had been completely returned to the city, he left, promising to return if darkness ever came back. The figure's identity was never discovered. 300 years have passed since then, and darkness has never returned, neither the Knight Toon, FoxFang.
"Maybe, but how can one person defeat all those gangsters?" Jessica bunny asked herself. She was in the Looniversity library reading a book called 'old cartoon legends'. It was only to satisiffy her boredom. It was the lunchbreak and, as normal, there was nothing to do. She was only 6 years old but was able to understand more complicated words than anyone else of her age. However, she insisted that she stayed at the grade suitable for her age as she didn't want to miss anything. Besides, she had friends in her current grade, including Daffy and Melissa's son, Zach. She looked at the clock.
"Another half an hour before lessons start again." Jessica said. She then let out a loud yawn.
"Whew, glad tomorrow is the start of the summer break." Jessica said in relief. She was rather tired from the year. She was going on a holiday to Jamaica with her parents Bugs and Lola during the summer. She was incredibly excited as they planned to swim with the dolphins there, something she's wanted to do for 2 years. Zach came up to her and sat next to her. He was a brown rabbit with a black face and orange feet. He looked really silly so everyone except Jessica nicknamed him 'the ugly duckling'.
"Jessica buddy." Zach said cheerfully. Jessica looked at him.
"Hi Zach." Jessica replied.
"What's wrong?" Zach asked.
"Tired, but who isn't." Jessica replied with a giggle. Zach noticed the book in Jessica's hands.
"What's that?" Zach asked. Jessica looked at the book.
"It's a book on old cartoon legends." Jessica replied. She pointed to the page she was reading.
"What are you reading about?" Zach asked.
"Some guy known as the FoxFang." Jessica replied.
"Who's he?" Zach asked.
"Our town's equivelent of Batman." Jessica replied.
"Sounds cool." Zach said.
"I suppose he is." Jessica replied.
"Hey, what have we got next?" Zach asked.
"We've would have Tweety for our lesson on outsmarting our enemies but I remember he said we'd be having a special lesson since this is the last day." Jessica replied.
"I like surprises." Zach said.
"And Tweety's are always good ones." Jessica added. She then looked at the clock.
"We'd better get going, the lesson will start in five minutes." Jessica said.
"Right behind you." Zach replied. Jessica put the book she had back on the shelf and they walked together to Tweety's class.
In an old warehouse in the centre of town, a group of people were plotting. They were a group of gangsters who had just moved into town. They were masters of hostage scenarios and were clever enough to fool even the best detectives. Ironically, they were born in Looniville. They were planning on their next crime.
"Who in this town shall we hold to ransome?" The leader, a large black wolf, asked.
"Well, it needs to be someone big and famous so we can offer a large ammount of money for their return." A thug suggested. This thug was also a wolf, but was white instead of black.
"Any famous people live here?" The leader asked.
"A whole group apparently." Another thug replied. This one was also a white wolf.
"Who is the most famous?" The leader asked.
"That would be Mr. and Mrs. Bunny." The first thug replied.
"Bugs and Lola bunny to be exact." The second thug added.
"Then there's your target." The leader said.
"What about the FoxFang legend?" A third thug asked. This thug was a brown wolf.
"I don't believe in those legends. And even if he did return, I doubt he'd be a threat." The leader replied.
"Ok." The thug replied.
"Where are our targets?" The first thug asked.
"Right now they'll be in the looniversity. Sneak in and take them!" The leader ordered.
"Yes sir!" The thugs replied. They left the warehouse and went to a black BMW outside the warehouse. The leader came out.
"I expect them to be here by 8:00 tonight." The leader instructed.
"Yes sir!" The thugs replied.
"And leave this ransome note somewhere where someone will find it." The leader instructed, giving them a slip of paper.
"Yes sir." The thugs replied. They drove off towards the looniversity, unaware that a small mouse with a mexican hat had seen everything and heard every word. The mouse was Speedy Gonzales.
"Uh oh, I better warn Bugs and Lola." Speedy said to himself. He ran as fast as he could to the looniversity.
Lola was in the principle's office having a chat with Bugs. They had no lessons to teach for the rest of the day so they had a bit of time to themselves.
"Looking forward to Jamaica?" Bugs asked.
"Yep, and Jessica will be as well." Lola replied.
"We'll have a whole week there to relax and have a good time." Bugs said.
"And no Elmer Fudd to bother us." Lola added.
"Yep." Bugs replied.
"When are we leaving again?" Lola asked.
"In 3 weeks time." Bugs replied.
"I hope Jessica enjoys her time at the circus." Lola said.
"Same here." Bugs replied.
"Shame we can't go." Lola said.
"Who says we can't go?" Bugs asked. Lola smiled.
"Good idea, that way we can head straight home with Jessica." Lola replied.
"It would be a brilliant idea." Came a voice from the room. Bugs and Lola looked and saw Speedy Gonzales standing in the doorway.
"Hi Speedy." Bugs greeted.
"Hello Bugs." Speedy replied.
"What did you mean by what you said just then?" Lola asked.
"You're in danger." Speedy replied.
"Huh, who from?" Bugs asked.
"Some kidnappers are after you two to hold for hostage." Speedy replied. Lola gasped.
"Are you sure?" Lola asked.
"Very sure. They're on their way here now to come for you." Speedy replied. Lola looked at Bugs.
"What do we do?" Lola asked. Bugs smiled.
"We go to the circus so the kidnappers look stupid." Bugs replied. Lola smiled.
"Good plan." Lola said.
"Speedy, can you tell Tweety and Aaooga and tell them we'll be going on the trip to the circus with them?" Bugs asked.
"Sure." Speedy replied.
"But don't mention any of this hostage threat to anyone." Bugs instructed.
"Ok." Speedy replied. He sped off to find Tweety and Aaooga.
When they reached the classroom the rest of the class was already inside. Jessica walked in first, Zach following. Tweety hadn't arrived yet so the class was waiting patiently.
"Welcome ugly duckling." The class chanted. Zach turned red with anger.
"Will you stop calling me that!" Zach shouted.
"Perhaps you shouldn't have been born such a strange colour." Sylvester Jr. replied.
"Easy for you to say." Jessica snapped.
"Ohh, don't get defensive of your boyfriend." Sylvester Jr. replied sarcastically. The rest of the class started laughing. Zach and Jessica looked offended, but didn't blush.
"WHAT! We aren't dating!" Jessica shouted.
"Jessica and Zach, sitting in a tree." The class began to chant.
"Stop that!" Jessica shouted. She felt her eyes fiolling with tears. She wanted to cry but she felt people would lose respect for her if she did. Despite her complaints, the class continued their rhyme.
"K, I, S, S…" The class continued but before they could finish everyone was interrupted by a very loud wolf howl. Everyone look and saw Tweety with his wife Aaooga in the doorway.
"We could hear you from the other end of the corridor." Tweety scolded. The whole class looked at them.
"We know that the final day of the year is a time for jokes and pranks, but that's too much." Aaooga added.
"We're in trouble now." Sylvester Jr. said in a worried tone.
"But we'll let you off this once." Tweety said.
"One last thing, accusing people of dating like the way you did isn't very polite." Aaooga added.
"We're sorry." The whole class replied.
"Very good." Aaooga said.
"Now for that surprise I promised you." Tweety said.
"There's a minibus waiting outside to take us to the circus that arrived yesterday." Aaooga added. Everyone cheered.
"A trip to the circus, wow!" Jessica squealed.
"It was your father's idea." Tweety said.
"Daddy comes up with the best suggestions." Jessica replied.
"Are we going to stand around here all day or are we going to see this circus?" Zach asked.
"You're right, let's go." Jessica replied.
"Come on everyone." Tweety said. He and Aaooga lead the group to the waiting minibus. When they got there, Bugs and Lola were waiting for them.
"Hi kids." Bugs greeted.
"Hello principle Bugs." The children replied. Jessica went up to her parents.
"Mum, Dad, what are you doing here?" Jessica asked.
"We're coming to the circus with you." Lola replied.
"And we'll go home together once we get back." Bugs added.
"Nice." Jessica said.
"Bugs, why did you decide to come on this trip?" Tweety asked.
"We can't say." Bugs replied.
"Why can't you say?" Aaooga asked.
"We just can't." Lola replied.
"Ok." Aaooga said, slightly suspicious.
"Is everyone ready?" Bugs asked the kids.
"YEAH!" The kids shouted back.
"Ok, let's go." Lola said. Bugs got in the passenger side while Lola got into the driver side. Tweety and Aaooga made sure all the kids were buckled in safely and the group drove off to the circus.
A few minutes after the group had left for the circus, the black BMW that the thugs were in arrived at the looniversity. The three thugs got out of the car and went into the main hall. They went up to the receptionist, who was Miss Prissy.
"Guys, let's play it casual to avoid arousing suspicion." The first thug whispered.
"Right." The others whispered back.
"Lady, can you direct us to the principles office?" The first thug asked Miss Prissy. She looked up at the wolf.
"Go straight down the hallway, turn left and it's on your right." Miss Prissy instructed.
"Thank you maam." The thug replied. They walked down the hall, turned left and found the principles office.
"Ok, when we find Bugs, we force him to tell us where his lady friend is then we go and grab her." The first thug whispered.
"How do we do that?" The third thug asked. The first thug pulled out a knife.
"Fear is a killer weapon." The first thug replied. He put the knife away and they opened the door and looked inside.
"Come in." A voice from inside said. The thugs entered the room and looked towards the desk. They didn't see Bugs Bunny, they saw Daffy Duck.
"How may I help you?" Daffy asked.
"We'd like to speak to the principle." The first thug replied.
"Bugs isn't on the grounds right now. I'm the deputy principle" Daffy replied.
"Do you know where he went?" The thuf asked.
"Nope, sorry." Daffy replied.
"What about Mrs. Lola Bunny?" The second thug asked.
"She went with him." Daffy replied. The three thugs looked at each other.
"Thanks anyway." The first thyug said.
"Sorry I couldn't help." Daffy rpelied, clearly not realising who he'd spoken to. The thugs left the room.
"The boss isn't going to like this." The first thug said in annoyance.
(A/N: Well, there's the first chapter done. I won't say who FoxFang is, you're welcome to guess though. On a similar note, I'm a bit stuck for names of the gangsters. Any ideas would be appreciated. The names won't affect how the story progresses. Hope any Batman fans who read this don't get offended.)
