REVIEW RESPONSE
Rock Raider: I like that kind of attitude. It probably wasn't hard to guess the identity of the spirit as only one appeared. On a different note, sorry I took so long to read your Animaniacs fic.
PurpleCobra247: The thing about Sleety is that he doesn't really have any morals. Being a vampire, he's heartless, as are most criminals. Think the Joker from Batman. As for the possession, keep reading, you might be surprised. Then again, you might have guessed if you re-read the story, the others have.
Nightw2: Glad the scene was intense enough. That 'Contract requirement' joke just came to me while I was typing up the chapter. Sleety is avoiding all the over the top death traps is because stealing the obdy won't work so well if the body is already dead so he needed everyone alive, plus he's sick enough to wait for Tweety so he can kill them in front of him.
acosta pérez josé ramiro: I guessed that you'd guess that. Don't' worry about your computer troubles, I have them as well. I'll think about your other spin change suggestions although in my opinion, I don't think Batduck would be a good idea. As for Egghead the alchemist, I was well aware of the procedure of turning gold into silver, having read Harry Potter and the Philosiphers' stone as well, and he's the only person intelligent enough to do it (He's smarter than Wile E coyote in many respects as he doesn't order from ACME). I like how you compare Sly Jr, Jessica and Zach to Buster, Babs and Plucky. I can see the resemblance in their friendship.
The ultimate power
Everyone was looking in horror in the air at the spirit that Sleety had ordered to possess Tweety. Sleeyt was smiling with glee looking at Tweety, who had closed his eyes and was waiting for the possession. Everyone watched for a few minutes, except those who were fighting the Zombies and Egghead, who was desprately mixing chemicals together with his chemistry set. Must of them were looking at the spirit, who was not moving despite Sleety's order. Sleety realised this and turned to the spirit.
"Are you death? I SAID POSSESS TWEETY!" Sleety shouted. Tweety opened his eyes, wondering what was going on. He then saw that the spirit was not moving at all.
"What's going, I say, what's going on?" Foghorn asked.
"Any ideas?" Plucky asked, looking at Shirley. Shirley looked at the spirit for a minute and then realised what was happening.
"That spirit doesn't want to harm Tweety." Shirley said. Sleety didn't hear this and was getting angrier.
"WHY AREN'T YOU OBEYING ME!" Sleety shouted.
"Why isn't the spirit obeying Sleety?" Bugs asked.
"Whoever it is, he or she cares for Tweety." Shirley replied.
"Trina." Aaooga muttered. Sleety was now glaring at the spirit.
"WHY ARE YOU BETRAYING ME?" Sleety asked. He left himself open for a fraction of a second, which was all Shirley needed to hit him with an energy bolt. Sleety was knocked to the floorbut quickly recovered. However, Sylvester was given enough time to force his way past the zombies and cut the vines holding Tweety down.
"There you go." Sylvester said. Tweety lookked at him and smiled.
"Thanks Sylvester." Tweety replied. The spirit in the air then took on Trina's form. Tweety saw this and smiled.
"She still cares about me." Tweety muttered. Trina's ghost flew towards the ceiling of the chamber. Sleety looked over and glared at Tweety.
"Since my attempt at possession failed, I'll just have to kill you." Sleety said evilly. He charged at Tweety at full speed. Tweety jumped out of the way and started flying. Sleety looked up and glared at him.
"Sylvester, help distract the zombies. You need to protect Egghead Jr." Tweety ordered.
"Right." Sylvester replied, running back into the fray to battle the zombies. Tweety flew towareds the ceiling, with Sleety in pursuit.
"You heard him, let's get these zombies." Buster added, spin changing into his swordsman attire.
"I'm with you." Babs replied, spin changing to look like Buffy, the vampire slayer.
"Who are you meant to be?" Sylvester Jr. asked.
"Call me Babsy the vampire slayer." Babs replied. Aaooga then took to the air.
"Where are you going?" Penelope asked.
"To help my husband." Aaooag replied, flying towards Tweety.
"Well, good luck." Daffy said.
"Just keep those zombies away from Egghead." Aaooga replied.
"What can I do? I'm only a child." Zach complained. Jessica went up to him.
"Zach, if we ever want to get out, we have to fight the zombies, even if we aren't very strong." Jessica said.
"Wow, we have a strong willed daughter." Bugs muttered. Shirley was getting impatient.
"Is everyone finished with the chatter yet?" Shirley asked, zapping one of the zombies. To her surprise, the bolt was strong enough to disintergrate the zombie.
"Wow, I didn't realise I was THAT strong." Shirley remarked.
Egghead Jr. was still mixing potions with his chemistry set. He created a strong acid from his potions, which he used to cut out a fragment of stone from the floor. He picked up the stone and then scribbled down a long series of calculations on several pieces of paper. The notes were titled "Philosiphers' stone". Foghorn, who was right in front of Egghead, glanced over at the notes. He picked up one of the papers and looked at it.
"Hmm, wonder what a Philosiphers' stone is." Foghorn muttered to himself, putting the paper back down. Turning around, he came face to face with a zombie. He looked offended and began lecturing the zombie.
"You not coming closer." Foghorn declared. "Back in my day, we left people, I say, we left people alone if they were working. I was brought up right. If my daddy said leave me alone, I left him alone. No constant interrupting from me, nosiree." He continued to lecture the zombie, who was now swaying from side to side," Look at me when I'm talking to you," Foghorn scolded the zombie, "Why people today can't ignore workers is beyond me. You sir, have got a tremendous, I say, tremendous ammount of gall to interrupt some delicate work like this guy's doing. Like I said, it never happened back in my day." He pushed the zombie as he was lecturing it. The zombie then fell backwards and the impact knocked its head off. "Humph, lecturing that boy was like a broken pencil, no point to it." Foghorn muttered at the headless zombie. Egghead Jr. ignored this commotion and continued working with his chemicals.
"Boy, any idea howmuch longer you'll need?" Foghorn asked. Egghead Jr. looked at him and shool his head.
"Are you anywhere near done yet?" Foghorn asked. Egghead shook his head again.
"This is going to be a long evening." Foghorn muttered.
Tweety was in a aerial battle with Sleety. Tweety and Sleety flew into each other and exchanged punches then retreated. Both of them were getting worn out, sut Sleety had a nasty glint in his eye.
"You fight well Tweety." Sleety commented.
"I won't let you dominate the planet I love." Tweety scolded.
"Such brave words from a mortal." Sleety remarked. Tweety looked anxious.
"Does that mean you've been holding back?" Tweety asked.
"Of course it does." Sleety replied. As he said this, he created an energy bolt and fired it at Tweety. The bolt hit him in the chest and sent him plummeting to the ground.
"NO!" Aaooga shouted. She was able to catch Tweety before he hit the ground. Tweety was still conscious but badly wounded. Sleety smiled and came down.
"Aaooga, I'll live, don't worry." Tweety reassured his wife.
"Not so, one more energy bolt will finish you off for good." Sleety said. He prepared another energy bolt and held it out.
"Any last words before I kill you for good?" Sleety asked evilly, unaware that Jessica had escaped from the fray and was watching in terror. Tweety saw Jessica and smiled to himself.
"Yeah, I do, but not for you." Tweety replied. He then turned his head towards Aaooga.
"Aaooga, I'm sorry I have to say goodbye to you so soon after our marriage. I have no strength left to fight." Tweety said. Aaooga nearly started crying.
"What should I do?" Aaooga asked. Tweety motioned her to come closer. She did so and Tweety whispered into her ear.
"Play along, I'm just stalling for time." Tweety whispered.
"Ok." Aaooga whispered back.
"Aaooga, I know you'll find someone else, no matter how long it will take." Tweety said. Aaooga sucessfully feigned crying.
"Why can't I die with you?" Aaooga asked.
"Because I want you to carry out my last request." Tweety replied.
"Which is?" Aaooga asked.
"To make sure Sleety is stopped. Tweety replied. Aaooga collapsed on to Tweety's chest. While this was going on, Jessica was creeping up behing Sleety.
"Have you made your piece yet?" Sleety asked. Aaooga got off Tweety while feigning tears.
"Yes." Tweety replied.
"Then it's time to…" Sleety began before being tackled by Jessica. The energy bolt he had created dissipated and Sleety was pinned to the floor.
"Time for you to die?" Jessica asked. Sleety glared at her.
"How can something so young be so irritating?" Sleety asked. Tweety was able to stand up with Sleety still pinned.
"Thanks Jessica." Tweety said.
"No problem." Jessica replied. Her concentration dropped and Sleety was able to fire an energy bolt at her. She was knocked back and badly hurt.
"You meddler." Sleety said. He turned back to Tweety.
"Now where were we?" Sleety asked evilly.
"Go, I don't have the strength to fly." Tweety said to Aaooga.
"But what about you?" Aaooga asked. Before Tweety could answer, Sleety fired an energy bolt at both of them. However, the bolt was interecpted by a fast moving mist, which turned out to be Trina.
"Trina?" Tweety asked. Trina was shaken by the attack but, because she was already a ghost, she was unharmed.
"Ghosts are vulnerable to energy attacks?" Aaooga asked.
"Seems so." Tweety replied.
"What is going on? Why is this ghost which I brought here disobeying me?" Sleety asked.
"Because this is the ghost of my ex, and she still loves me." Tweety replied. Sleety glared at him.
"What!" Sleety shouted.
"You heard him, although she's dead, she still loves Tweety and doesn't want him to lose his life to you." Aaooga replied
"You could say that she has unfinished business." Tweety added.
"DAMM! LOVE GETS IN MY WAY AGAIN!" Sleety shouted. He was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Love defeats him?" Lola asked.
"I don't get it." Plucky replied. He was then suddenly pinned by a zombie.
"PLUCKY!" Shirley shouted. She fired an energy bolt at the zombie that was pinning him. To her surprise, this one was more powerful than anything that she had ever used, creating a blast of light that disintergrated all of the zombies.
"Wow, you can do that?" Melissa asked. Shirley was contemplating something in her mind.
"I now know what the ultimate power is." Shirley said.
"The ultimate power?" Bugs asked.
"It's said to be something more powerful than any type of magic and has the power to defeat anything." Shilrey replied.
"And you now know what it is?" Sylvester Jr. asked.
"Yes…love." Shirley replied. Zach then noticed something about Sylvester Jr.
"Sylvester Jr, open your mouth again." Zachh said.
"Erm, ok." Sylvester Jr. replied. He opened his mouth and Zach had a look inside. He was both shocked and happy about what he saw.
"You fangs are gone." Zach said. Sylvester Jr. put his hand in his mouth and felt around. Indeed, he had no fangs.
"This means I'm no longer a vampire!" Sylvester Jr. shouted. Everyone then turned to Egghead Jr. He was now holding a red stonethat was giving off a warm glow.
"What's that?" Daffy asked.
"I think that's…a Philosiphers' stone." Shirley replied.
"You made that?" Bugs asked. Egghead nodded.
"Now we can create silver." Shirley said excitedly. Egghead held up a fragent of silver shapped like a dagger.
"He's way ahead of you." Zach chuckled. Jessica then came over, seemingly unharmed by what Sleety had done to her.
"What's all the excitement about?" Jessica asked.
"We can now defeat Sleety." Bugs replied. Jessica looked at the silver dagger that Egghead Jr. had created. She quickly grabbed the dagger by the hilt.
"Where are you going?" Buster asked.
"To give this to Tweety." Jewssica replied. She ran past Sleety, whoo had been blinded by the flash of light, and went up to Tweety and Aaooga.
"Egghead did his job." Aaooga said. Jessica gave the dagger to Tweety.
"Tweety, it's down to you now." Jessica said. Tweety took the dagger.
"Thank you, now to end it." Tweety replied, taking the dagger. He then went over to Sleety, who had just regained his eyesight. Tweety hit him on the head with the hilt of the dagger and knocked him to the floor. Tweety then sttood on Sleety's arms and pointed the dagger to his face.
"Not again, why can I not defeat love?" Sleety replied.
"Because love is the ultimate power." Tweety replied. With that, he thrust the dagger into Sleety's head and kept it there until he died.
"Finally." Jessica said in relief.
"I don't think it's over." Shirley said, pointing to the body. A mist was coming out of it. It took the form of Sleety's ghost.
"It's not over yet, I'll just take a body." Sleety shouted. He then flew into Jessica's head.
"NO!" Lola shouted.
Everyone was now staring in terror at Jessica. She was on her knees ohlding her head and screaming in pain.
"Uh oh, Sleety's trying to possess Jessica." Tweety said.
"Is there anything we can do?" Lola asked.
"Not really, if the possession suceeds, we're doomed." Aaooga replied. They watched as Jessica struggled with her own head. Inside her mind, Jessica was fighting a mental battle against the vampire who was desprately trying to take a hold of Jessica's body.
"Grr, this is harder than I thought. How can a child have such strong will?" Sleety asked himself as he tried to possess Jessica. Jessica was feeling unbearable agony in her head. She felt like she was going to explode but she dared not to give up. She had so many thing on her mind. Her family, her friends, her secret crush on Zach and memories of everything Sleety had done all gave her the will to keep control of her body. Eventually, to everyone's amazement and relief, Sleety was forced out of Jessica, who then fell to the floor.
"GRR! She's too strong!" Sleety scolded.
"Jessica beat him?" Bugs asked in amazement.
"Love has defeated me again." Sleety muttered.
"What does that mean?" Aaooga asked. Before Sleety couuld reply, he felt unbearable agony in his own head. Everyone looked around and saw Shirley holding her arms out and sweating heavily.
"What are you doing?" Plucky asked.
"I'm trying to send him to the void!" Shirley replied, still focusing on Sleety's ghost. Sleety was struggling but he didn't have love on his side. Shirley was powered by her lovew with Plucky and she eventually suceeded in opening a hole into the void.
"CURSE YOU ALL! WHEN YOU COME HERE I SHALL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!" Sleety shouted as he was sucked into the hole. As soon as he was gone, Shrley closed the opening. Sylvester went over to Sleety's lifeless body and picked it up.
"And to make sure you don't come back." Sylvester sais. Everyone around him nodded and Sylvester then ate Sleeyt's corpse.
"It's finally over." Tweety said with a huge sigh of relief.
(A/N: Whew, what a long chapter, Hope you enjoyed it. Only one more chapter to go. I was tempted to leave you with a cliffhanger but I decided not to because I didn't want to have any fight scenes in the final chapter. Anyways, please read and review.)
