The Final Battle

It was morning. The sun shone upon the little camp. Bugs and Lola were asleep in each other's arms. Bugs was the first to awaken, with his arms wrapped around her. He kissed her forehead to gently waken her. She stirred then opened her eyes.

"Mornin' sunshine," whispered Bugs

"Morning Bugs," whispered Lola

"How you feel?"

"I feel divine,"

"Me too," (See Crymsyn, she didn't break him!)

He planted a small kiss on her lips.

"But we have to keep moving," said Bugs

"Aww, do we have to?" moaned Lola

"Yeah, we gotta reach Hamota in time for the follow-up attack on Sam,"

"Fine," she mumbled

They got up and got dressed. Copper awoke soon enough. Bugs mounted Copper and helped Lola up to sit behind him. They galloped beside the river on their way back to Hamota.

Meanwhile…

Sam was back at his office. All of his men were recovering from the previous battle. Most of them were injured. Sam, on the other hand, was plotting.

"Those Fighters…" grumbled Sam, "They had that ambush planned. Well, two can play at that game. They think I'm down and out, but they have another thing coming. Canasta! Smith!"

Canasta and Smith rushed in at Sam's command.

"Yes sir?" they asked simultaneously

"Roundup the troops, we have to find the Fighter's new hideout!" commanded Sam

"But Mayor Sam," said Canasta, "We can't fight, we're all tired out."

"We can't go on," added Smith

"What did you say?" grumbled Sam as his anger was rising. He jumped up and grabbed them by the collar of their shirts. They toppled over and Sam glared at them dead in the eye, which made them shiver with fear.

"WE ARE GONNA GET THOSE VARMINTS EVEN IF WE HAVE TO BURN THIS WHOLE TOWN DOWN!"

"Consider it done Mayor Sam!" they said together

"That's what I thought," said Sam letting go of them and therefore making them fall. Sam stormed out of the room and addressed his men that were in the building.

"Men! We have to strike back! Those varmints wont get away with what they've done! We move out at high noon and tear this town apart!" yelled Sam

His men didn't like the idea, but they had to do what they were told.

Elsewhere…

Sylvester and the Freedom Fighters were resting back in Hamota. They were preparing for the next attack.

"I hope those two are alright," said Sylvester concerned about Bugs and Lola

"I'm sure they're o-o-o-alright," said Porky

"I should've gone with them, I should've…"

"Hey their h-h-h-alive and well!" interrupted Porky as he saw Bugs and Lola coming down river. The Fighters cheered as they arrived to the tribe. They dismounted Copper and were well received by the Fighters and the Hamotas.

"What happened? I saw you escape towards the canyon, with some guys on your tail. How did you two escape?" asked Sylvester

"Dose guys were chasing us up da canyon. Dere was did tree on da canyon wall, so Lola shot at it with her rifle until it fell. Dat blocked da path but Canasta and Smith were still on da chase. We reached da top and made a run for it. Den all of da sudden I see a ledge and I try to stop but we fall in and splash into da river at da bottom. We were tossed around in da rapids,"

"Oh my!" said Petunia

"What happened next?" asked Sylvester

"The water was fierce and getting faster and faster. Then we realized that it was a waterfall. We went over the falls. Thankfully we survived, as you can see. We walked downriver then set up camp. In the morning we continued the journey back here," continued Lola as they looked at each other because of the 'detail' she left out.

"Well I'm glad your safe," came a voice from the crowd. Lola turned around to see who it was.

"Pa!" she exclaimed. He came to her and hugged her.

"Pa, I'm sorry," she pleaded

"Sorry? For what?" asked Pa

"I let you down. Because of me, Dark Rider can no longer exist,"

"Lola, Dark Rider was just symbol. And you defended it well. No matter what happens to Dark Rider, what he or she stands for will live on. I'm so proud of you!"

Lola smiled and hugged him. "Thanks Pa,"

"Bugs, we have to mobilize now. We have to strike now that Sam's weak," said Sylvester

"You're right," said Bugs

They both stood in front of the Fighters.

"Listen!" said Sylvester "This is the decisive battle! It's now or never! We have to win our freedom. Men what say you!"

"Down with Sam!" they yelled

"We move out at high noon!"

"Yeah!" they cheered

The Freedom Fighters were prepared. They were armed and ready to go into battle. Bugs, Sylvester, Lola and Pa were with their horses, leading them. Bugs was cleaned up and wearing his usual apparel. Lola was going as herself rather than Dark Rider, wearing a brown leather tunic, a red headband, her black pants and boots. Sylvester was wearing a hat, brown pants, a light green shirt, a brown vest and boots. Pa was wearing his Dark Rider apparel minus the mask. Porky and Petunia approached the Fighters.

"W-W-We are honored to have h-h-h-assisted with the f-f-f-resistance," said Porky

"On behalf of the Hamotas, we present you with these Hamota Feathers," said Petunia placing a feather on Bugs' hat and Lola's headband

"These f-f-f-feathers were worn by the b-b-b-greatest warriors of the Hamotas. It is a g-g-g-great honor to be g-g-g-issued one," explained Porky as Petunia placed feathers on Sylvester's hat and Pa's hat.

"Thank you," said Bugs as well as the others. They mounted their horses.

"Hiyah!" they said in unison. The horses whinnied and galloped to town, followed by the Freedom Fighters on their horses.

It's high noon at Sherrock…

Sam and his men assembled at the town square. The people hidden in their homes saw the militia there and knew something terrible was going to happen today. Sam stepped up to speak to his men.

"The plan is very simple, that even you idiots can follow it. We search every home, every barn, everything until we find a lousy Fighter. We capture them then exterminate them once and for all. Understand?" yelled Sam

"Yes sir!" yelled his men

"Good…mwa ha ha!" laughed Sam

"Don't even tink about it…" came a voice from afar

Everyone's attention was brought towards the source. It was Bugs on his horse looking onto them from a hill.

"You! You're alive!" yelled Sam while giving an evil glance at Smith and Canasta

"It's over Sam," said Lola as she appeared onto the hill beside Bugs

"You too!" blurted Sam

"We can do this the easy way," said Sylvester as he appeared next

"Or the hard way," continued Pa as he appeared after

"It's your choice," added Bugs

"You think that you four can defeat my army! Ha!" yelled Sam as his men looked ready to fight

"Perhaps you didn't hear us clearly," said Bugs.

Sylvester gave a whistle and the rest of the Freedom Fighters appeared on foot behind them.

"So it's a fight you want, eh? Then that's what you're gonna get! Hiyah!" yelled Sam as he led his army into a run towards them.

Bugs then led the others into a run against them. The two titans clashed against each other and the battle commenced. There were gunfights and old school butt-whop going on everywhere. Even though Sam's men were tired, they had greater numbers then that of the Fighters. There were men falling on both sides. It seemed that Sam's men had the edge.

Sylvester was taking on two enemies. He dodged one then struck the other with his fists. He started clawing and fighting anyway he could. He was able to knock one of them out, but the other kicked him to the ground. He took out his gun and was about to fire when someone rushed and slammed him to the ground, knocking him out. It was Sheriff Daffy!

"Thanks!" said Sylvester

"No problem," said Daffy, "Sam must go down!"

"What makes you decide to help us now?"

"He owes me two weeks of pay!"

Sylvester shook his head. Suddenly one of Sam's men tried to attack Daffy from behind but then someone hit him on the head with a wooden crate. It was Melissa.

"Hey there boys," she said

"Whoa mamma!" said Daffy with hearts in his eyes.

"So, are you guys just gonna stand there or what?" said Melissa, "Go!"

"Yes mam'!" said Sylvester

"I'll go anywhere with you!" said Daffy with drool coming from his beak

"Save the mush for later, Daff!" said Sylvester as he pulled him away

"Call me baby!" he yelled as he resumed the fighting alongside Sylvester

Pa was up against three enemies. They had him surrounded. Pa was unarmed and injured in the arm because he was shot there by one of his attackers.

"What's the matter Granpa? Can't move your arm?" asked one of the guys

"The old man must be headed towards his grave," added another

"Then lets help him get there boys!" yelled the third

The first one lunged at him, but Pa dodged him and kicked him in the back, throwing him to the ground. The second tried to punch him but Pa blocked with his good arm and kneed him in the gut. The third tried to throw several punches and he hit his mark. Soon enough the other two recovered and were able to join the fight by holding Pa down. Pa was getting severely beaten until…ZOOM! Someone came and hit them at incredible speeds. The three guys were dazed for a moment and looked around for their attacker. Then Roadrunner revealed himself and this time hit them again as he zoomed past them again. Next thing they knew a brown fist came into each of their faces knocking them out. It was Wile E. Coyote! Wile E. then helped Pa up. Pa was worn out.

"Thanks," said Pa as he winced in pain

Wile E. nodded in response. He helped him into a house where he would be out of harms way. Then he went to Roadrunner.

"Let's call a truce. Let's help these rebels defeat Sam. The sooner the battle ends, the sooner we can resume our schedule!" pulled out Wile E. in a sign. He and Roadrunner shook each other's hand/wing and went as allies into battle.

The fight was going on and on. The townspeople were watching helplessly from the sidelines. Until one of them just couldn't take it anymore. He came out of hiding and ran to the hangman's platform to gain the townspeople's attention.

"Why are we just hiding awound like mice. We should be fighting for our fweedom! Are you with me?" yelled Elmer Fudd

"Yeah!" yelled the people as they came out of their hiding places. They all rushed with out with their weapons and joined the fight.

"WHAT!" yelled Sam as he saw the townspeople joining the fight. Which then greatly evened out the armies. "NO MERCY!" yelled Sam as he commanded his troops to fight on.

"We can't anymore Sam!" yelled one of his men

"We can't win! We have to retreat!" yelled another.

"RETREAT? OVER YOUR DEAD BODY!" screamed Sam

Some of Sam's men ignored his orders and retreated anyway. They were going to escape when they stopped at the edge of town. An entire Hamota army was blocking their path. In the front was Porky in his warrior dress (as in outfit, not a skirt!). He gave a mean yell.

"At-at-at-CHARGE!"

The Hamotas came into the fight with their hatches, bows and arrows. The addition of the Hamotas tipped the scale in favor of the Fighters. Sam's militia was losing badly.

Bugs and Lola had their hands full. After defeating dozens of enemies, they were facing off Canasta and Smith. Canasta chose to fight Bugs while Smith was against Lola. Canasta tried several punches but Bugs kept either dodging or blocking his attacks. He was tiring him out until Bugs came at him with punches of his own. He threw the punches really fast and knocked Canasta to the ground. Meanwhile, Smith and Lola were in a fistfight as well. Smith threw some punches and landed a few. Lola retaliated by a left hook and a right uppercut on the chin. She then followed up with a kick in the gut then another kick to knock him to the ground. It seemed to be over, but they both got up and looked more determined than ever. Bugs and Lola looked at each other then nodded. The rushed together towards them as they rushed towards them. Then Bugs grabbed Lola's hand and swung her in towards them. She kicked them each in the chest then landed on the ground. Then Smith recovered and tried to punch Bugs, but he blocked him. However Canasta kicked him, breaking through his block. They both attacked Bugs together. Lola then grabbed their heads and knocked them together. That gave them massive headaches. Bugs then jumped up and kicked them both. Bugs and Lola came together and slammed Canasta and Smith to the ground, rendering them unconscious. With those two down and the rest of his army defeated, it seemed like it was over for Sam.

"Where's Sam?" asked Lola

"He's gone!" said Bugs

Just then Porky came to then on a horse. "He's g-g-g-escaping that way!" said Porky as he pointed towards Sam riding his horse up the canyon.

"Not if we can help it!" yelled Bugs and Lola together. They whistled for their horses and immediately Joy and Copper came onto the scene. Bugs and Lola swung onto them at once and chased Sam up the canyon.

"Yikes that was sc-sc-sc-freaky! They did that to-to-to-simultaneously!"

They dashed up the canyon side by side. Sam was way ahead of them, but not out of sight. Bugs and Lola were gaining on him. They reached the top and followed Sam on the road, never letting him out of their sights. They were careful about the river this time. They rode further upstream and the river was getting wider. As they chased they soon heard a train whistle. They looked across the river and up ahead they saw the steamer heading in their direction. It was going to cross a bridge then cross in front of them. Sam saw this as well and made his horse go faster. He was going to cross the tracks and lose his pursuers. Bugs and Lola sped up as well. Sam made it across the tracks in time before the train reached the bridge. Bugs and Lola were coming in close. The train was halfway on the tracks when Bugs and Lola were just feet away.

"We're gonna make it!" yelled Bugs

"We're not gonna make it!" yelled Lola

They had to decide fast. Soon it will be too late to do anything. Should they pull on the reigns or kick with their spurs? It means life and death.

"AHHH!" they yelled together

Dontcha just hate cliffhangers?
