Chapter 6: A Deadly Comeback

As Frank returned to the zoo, he walked into his dad's office. He was typing on his laptop.

"I'm back with the two critters, Pop." Frank greeted.

"Excellent, son!"

"The Looneys had 'em da whole time… and unfortunately, Lola really didn't wanna give 'em up."

"Dat's what happens when you keep a precious animal that's meant to be loved, son. By the way, we just got a new addition to our zoo since you left."

"Really?"

"Yep. I have no idea what kind of animal it is, though."

"What does it look like?"

"He looks like a giant brown weasel with a curly, prehensile tail."

"That's called a kinkajou, Pop!"

"You know about them things?"

"Yeah. They're really smart animals. Smarter than dogs."

"Really? Well, there's a perfect addition for us. You should place him in the same cage as Tanka and Yarniki. He seems lonely in his own cage."

"Why? He feels left out?"

"Exactly. He has a problem fitting in with the other weasels and I think he needs to be wit someone who can talk to him… sorta."

"Okay. I'll name him Kazami."

Minutes later…

Frank walked over to the kinkajou cage and easily noticed Kazami. He saw him sitting in a corner all by himself. Frank really felt sorry for him and decided to set him in the cage with Tanka and Yarniki. He entered the cage and picked up poor Kazami and craddled him in his arms.

"Feelin' down, huh?" He asked Kazami. The baby kinkajou just looked up at him and frowned in response. "I see. Well, Tanka and Yarniki will make perfect friends for you, lil' fella. C'mon! I want ya to meet 'em." He walked over to Tanka and Yarniki's den and he saw the two playing with each other. Kazami watched from Frank's arms for a few minutes and suddenly smiled.

"They've been friends since they were born, so I know they'll be nice to ya. In ya go." Frank explained as he opened the cage and allowed Kazami to run inside happily and playfully tackle Yarniki. Frank chuckled at this display.

"Well, now. I knew he'd fit in somehow." He said to himself as he left towards his father's office.

Meanwhile…

All the Looneys and Kavasia were all watching a movie and having chinese food. Lola was very depressed after finally returning Sony back to the zoo. Kavasia noticed by the way she was eating. She was taking her time.

"Lola, cheer up. You'll be fine without Sony." Kavasia told her. Lola nodded.

"I know that, but I just feel so uncomfortable without him." She replied.

"Why?" Daffy asked. "He was justht a dumb tiger anyway."

"SONY WAS NOT DUMB!" Lola yelled as she slammed her plate on the floor. "How dare you talk about Sony like that!"

"Well, it'sth my opinion. At leastht I paid for you damn Playstation Portable!"

Lola had it up to here with Daffy's insulting beak. She was about to give him a good punch, but Bugs stopped her by grabbing her shorts from behind.

"Lola, don't start dis again. Rememba what happened last time?" He begged her in a calm voice.

"Sorry, Bugs." Lola calmed down as she sat back down next to Kavasia. "I'm just so depressed that I can't stand another word from Daffy's mouth."

"Ya know what? Maybe dere is a way to calm ya down…"

"What?"

"A nice, hot shower."

"Bugs…"

"C'mon, Lo. I'm bein' serious here! I'm just tryin' ta help you outta your depression. You could have Kavasia wit ya if dat'll make ya feel betta."

Lola sighed. She knew her Bugsy was a very understanding guy and she couldn't refuse to let his words keep her from destroying whatever reminded her of Sony. She had no other choice but to take her husband's words, for her sake.

"Okay, Bugs. I'll take a nice, long shower to calm my nerves. At least you let me have someone to talk to while I'm in there." She finally said as she stood up.

"Dat's betta." Bugs sighed with relief as he stood and walked up to her, looking deeply into her eyes. "I'm tellin' ya dis for ya own good. I hope you realize dat."

"I surely do, Bugsy." She replied in a seductive tone as she moved closer for a passionate liplock. Bugs wrapped his hands around her back while she wrapped her hands around his shoulders. Kavasia sighed at this passionate sight.

"This is exactly why I like Bugs so much. He seems so caring and full of life." She said to herself as she headed for the showers, waiting for Lola.

While Bugs and Lola were still in their kissing session, Bugs started being a little slick and slowly slid his large hands down from Lola's back to her ass. Her eyes grew wide and giggled as she closed her eyes again and savored Bugs' gentle massage. She moaned deeply as she felt this. Sylvester chuckled as he saw this.

"And I couldn't do any better." He muttered to himself as he took another sip of his soda.

Finally, after 10 minutes of kissing, the two bunnies finally released slowly and looked into each other eyes. However, Bugs couldn't stop massaging Lola's ass. She smiled as he continued.

"You're naughty, aren't you?" She asked in a sly tone. Bugs nodded as he licked his lips.

"As naughty as you want me to be, sweetheart." He replied in the same tone. "So, I'm guessin' dat you want some tomorrow night."

"Yeah… and I'll make the bed this time." She stroked under his chin sensually as she said this, then turned towards the showers with Kavasia. Bugs sighed as he watched her enter the room.

"Lola is really sometin', isn't she?" He asked in a dazed voice. Sylvester nodded.

"Asth alwaysth, Mr. Love Bunny." He replied in a sarcastic tone. Bugs chuckled at this reply as he sat next to the calm cat.

Meanwhile, in the shower room…

Lola was just getting her stuff from her locker while Kavasia was already sitting on a bench beside her.

"That was some kiss you pulled, girl." The purple raccoon commented. Lola giggled.

"Well, that shows you now much I love my Bugsy." She agreed. "You know, I never thought Daffy would be so unfaithful to animals."

"That bitch has some crazy sentimental issues, doesn't he?"

"Probably, but then again, it's pretty funny to see him pissed off like that."

"I get your drift."

Lola closed her locker and headed towards the showers. She undressed herself along the way and approached a shower stall and started up the warm water. Kavasia just stood by the wall near the stall.

"Do you still feel a little guilty about giving Sony away?" Kavasia asked. Lola nodded.

"Yeah." She replied as he lathered up her wash cloth with a bar of soap. "Knowing that he'll be alright with his crocodile friend, I shouldn't worry too much."

"I'm glad you just said that. Oh, and about your PSP…"

"What about it?"

"I just sent the money to SCEA and they're sending a new PSP to your P.O. Box along with the new copy of Darkstalkers Chronicle."

"Thanks."

"No problem. Actually, that fight you and Daffy had over that thing is exactly what he deserves for acting like a bastard."

"No kidding!"

Meanwhile, at ACME Zoo…

All the animals were fast asleep, including Frank and Tony. Kazami was asleep for a minute, but then opened his eyes slowly and shook Tanka and Yarniki until they woke up.

"C'mon." Kazami said in a Stitch-like voice. "We gotta get outta here and get ya back to Lola."

"Huh?" Tanka asked in a normal male voice. "But, Lola'll be fine without me. Her stupid-ass duck friend hates me!"

"So? Lola doesn't. She loves you with all her heart and besides, you told me that she was in tears when she had to give you away."

"Yeah, but…"

"Wouldn't wanna make her happy?"

"I guess."

"Okay, then. Yarniki!"

"Huh?" Yarniki asked in his Stitch-like voice as well.

"We gotta get moving if you and Tanka want to see Lola again."

"Oh, I wanna go back… but, it's not Lola I wanna see."

"What?" Tanka asked.

"I wanna see that purple raccoon friend she has. She's pretty."

Kazami and Tanka sighed in annoyance.

"Crocs!" They exclaimed in unison.

"Anyway, I know how to get out, but you two have to keep quiet."

Tanka and Yarniki nodded as they sliently followed Kazami to the cage exit. Kazami looked up at the cage bars and noticed a padlock on it. He couldn't use a key, so he had an idea.

"I'll just unlock it with my claw." He whispered. "Yarniki, give me a boost."

Yarniki allowed Kazami to get on his snout and slowly lifted him up towards the lock, having Kazami standing on the nose. Tanka was a little worried as he looked around the rest of the cage with his eyes.

"Are you really sure about this? It might come back on the news again if Frank finds us missing again." He whispered with a little worry. Kazami scoffed as he inserted a sharp nail from his finger into the keyhole and started unlocking it.

"At least, they'll understand why you escaped this time: to go back to Lola." He replied. "Just stay calm and follow me. I'm smarter than a dog, ya know."

"I'll have to believe him on that one." Yarniki agreed. "This weasel has what it takes to escape."

"That's what you think." Tanka remarked under his breath as Kazami finally got the lock bolted open and he slowly took the lock off. He tapped Yarniki's nose, telling him to settle him down. As soon as Kazami pushed open the cage doors, Tanka and Yarniki quickly ran out. Then, Kazami closed the door as he walked out.

"Hey, watch this!" Kazami whispered as he placed the unlocked padlock on his curly tail and slung it back on the cage, locking again in the process.

"Cool." Yarniki commented.

"Thanks. Now, I've seen these garage men take the trash out from that path over there." Kazami pointed to a passage with bushes on either side. "That's the quickest and safest way out."

"Are you sure we won't get caught going this way?" Tanka asked.

"Don't worry. Sure, I just got here, but I've seen it, okay? Before I came here, I saw a herd of zebras escape without getting caught. If they can do it, we can."

"You sound sure."

"Just follow me." The three snuck out the pathway and it led to a sidewalk in the city. Not many cars were out because it was late at night, so they were pretty much safe out of harm's way.

"Do you know where the gym is?" Kazami asked. Tanka nodded.

"Yeah. We just need to run down this sidewalk and then, there's a big brick building you can't miss. That's the gym." He replied. Yarniki was just sitting there watching them talk.

"Okay. Let's go." Kazami demanded as they ran down the sidewalk towards the gym, having Yarniki waddling awkwardly as fast as he could behind them.

Meanwhile, in the gym…

Bugs was nearly half-sleep when Lola came back with a bathrobe on, holding her towel and washcloth in one arm. He was laying in his sleeping bag, ready to snore when Lola tapped him on the shoulder, nearly startling him.

"I see there's a good reason why you said that you wanted some tomorrow night instead of tonight." She said as she placed her towel and cloth in the clothes hamper. Bugs slowly sat up and yawned as he rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes.

"Yeah, good reason." He yawned. "So, did da shower help?"

"A little. Thanks for suggesting that, Bugs."

"Don't mention it, Lo. My fatha always told me: 'When dere's sometin' botherin' ya, a nice hot shower can really heal ya.' He tells me dat all da time, even when I was just all alone."

"I'm sure he did." She stood up and walked over to her dresser. She was about to remove her robe, but she stopped for a moment and looked back at Bugs with a seductive smile on her face.

"Are you watching me?" She asked in a playful tone. Bugs just sat back and got comfortable.

"Mmmmmaaaaabye!" He sang out as he pulled out a carrot. Lola giggled as she placed her robe back on and pulled out her pajamas. Then, without looking back, slowly started taking off her robe, showing Bugs her bare back. He raised an eyebrow sexually.

"Awwww, yeah. Take it off, baby! Whoo!" He exclaimed. Lola heard him and just let the robe fall to the floor by her feet. Bugs' eyes bugged out as he saw this.

"Goddaaamn! Dis is startin' to look delicious!" He muttered seductively as he leaned back even farther.

Meanwhile…

Kazami, Tanka, and Yarniki were still running down the city limits. They stopped at where Tanka has explained, but the building wasn't there.

"What the f…! Where the hell is it, Tanka?" Kazami exclaimed in anger.

"I could've sworn it was right here! I know it's here! I just know it!" Tanka replied in a panicked tone. Yarniki just sat at the edge of the curb and stared at a big brick building right across from him and looked smug as he heard the two arguing.

"Look! I volunteered to help you two escape, including myself, and this is the thanks I get? What a bunch of bullshit!"

"Don't take it that way, man!"

"GUYS!" Yarniki yelled.

"WHAT?" The two yelled back in unison. Yarniki pointed to the building.

"It's across the street from here. We just need to cross the street and we're there." He replied. Kazami and Tanka blushed with embarassment.

"I hate it when you do that." Tanka muttered as he began to proceed across the street. Yarniki and Kazami then followed.

"Okay, I'll admit. You crocs can be quite sneaky when it comes to being in the streets." Kazami confessed.

"What can I say?" Yarniki asked sarcastically. Then, lights from a storage truck started to shine to the left of them, but they never noticed until they heard a truck's horn. They froze and turned towards the headlights and gasped.

"AHHHHHHHH!" The three screamed together as they quickly attempted to run across, but the truck was too fast for them and Kazami's tail got smashed by the wheels of the truck. Tanka saw this and ran to his rescue.

"Are you okay?" The white tiger cub asked. Kazami held his tail in pain as he spoke.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." He replied as he rubbed his tail. Yarniki ran back up to them in panic.

"Guys, we really should…" He was about to say before he was cut off by a Corvette's motor approaching. They reacted too soon and the car suddenly ran all three of them over, spewing blood from their mouths and was knocked out. The driver of that car was smashed into the front glass of his car and was knocked out cold as well. Minutes later, an ambulance and animal control arrived.

Inside the gym…

Most of the Looneys were sound asleep, since they couldn't hear the sirens wailing outside. Sylvester was still awake as he heard the sirens and walked up to the window to see what was going on.

"What'sth happening out there?" He wondered outloud as he looked out the gym's windows. He was shocked to see the accident outside and was even more shocked when he saw three animals, limping with unconciousness and with blood dripping non-stop out of their mouths, having some staining their fur, or in Yarniki's case, his scales. Sylvester covered his mouth in shock as he turned back around and headed towards his tent and laid down on his sleeping bag next to his son.

"Oh, my God! I justht hope it'sth gonna be on the newsth in the morning!" He whispered as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
