Chapter 6: Meeting the Family

(Just to warn you, a character from Animaniacs is making a special and permenent appearance as well in this chapter. Enjoy!)

After Lola and Jason packed and left for Japan, the three brothers of Tahitii were in charge of taking care of him. Terrance sat next to Tahitii in his healing bed while L.Z. and Razzby were reading a book on dragon legends. They were smiling as they were reading, wishing that someday their brother would make the entry in the book.

"Boy. Reading this book can make you anxious about Tahitii, huh?" L.Z. sighed.

"Yeah. Wait 'til he makes the cut. He'll be more famous than Spyro." Razzby agreed. Terrance looked at his unconcious tailless brother with a passionate smile. He loved his unique brother more than anything. His thoughts were soon interrupted by Wile E. entering the tent.

"Hey, guys. I just discovered something." He said as he walked in.

"What is it?" Terrance asked.

"I studied in a dragon legend book that dragon tears have the power of resurrection."

"Have you told that to Furball yet?"

"Why'd you ask?"

"Because his brother, Steve, is still in the hospital. Maybe we can visit there and sample one of my tears and give it test."

"Good idea. How about we go now?"

Meanwhile, in the plane to Japan…

Lola was sitting near the window with a disgusted look on her face. Jason just walked out of the lavatory in the back of the plane, groaning with sickness and holding his stomach.

"How could I forget that Jason gets airplane sickness?" She asked herself as she pulled out a barf bag fron the back of the seat in front of her and handed it to Jason as he sat down.

"Thanks." He groaned as he held on to the bag. "You do know that…?"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. How could I forget?" Lola replied, resting her head in her hand. "We'll be in Japan in an hour. Hang in there."

"A'ight." After that statement, he vomited in the barf bag again, disgusting Lola even more. She pulled out a pair of headphones and her CD player walkman and turned on her favorite music mix CD for the rest of the flight.

Back at the ACME Hospital…

Wile E. walked in with Terrance in his arms. He walked up to the information desk.

"Excuse me. Do you know which room Steve Catt is in?" He asked.

"He's in room A23, sir." The female nurse replied.

"Thank you." He went to the A hall and walked down there until he found A23. He opened the door and found Steve in the hospital bed with three doctors around him. As he walked in, he saw somebody that he didn't expect to see.

"Minerva Mink?" Wile E. asked. Terrance's eyes went wide as he saw her. She was dressed in a yellow t-shirt with blue jean shorts and a green vest. She was sitting right next to Steve.

"Hey, Wile E.. Why are you here?" She asked.

"That's the question I should be asking to you." Wile E. replied.

"Steve's a good friend of mine. Who's that little guy in your arms?"

"This is one of Tahitii's brothers, Terrance."

"Hey, Terrance. Can I hold you?"

"Ohhhhh, yeah. Sure, you can, baby." Terrance replied sexually as he hopped out of Wile E.'s arms and ran up to Minerva, leaping into her arms on the way. As soon as he did, he got himself comfortable in her lap, purring deeply.

"Aw, look at you. You must be lucky to have a brother that's so… legendary." Minerva said seductively, stroking his face at the word "legendary".

"Yeah. Lucky I came and lucky I shall leave." Terrance sighed as he drooled on the left corner of his mouth with a smug smile on his face. Wile E. shook his head in dismay as he sat next to Minerva.

"Terrance, remember your dragon tear sample?" He asked.

"OH! Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! Right-right-right! I'm goin'! I'm goin'!" He lept out of Minerva's arms and ran up to a doctor, tugging on his white jacket.

"Yes?" The doctor asked.

"I would like to do a dragon tear sample for Steve."

"Aren't you one of Tahitii's brothers?"

"Yeah. Wile E. just read that dragon tears have the power of resurrection."

"Well, is that so?" The doctor picked up Terrance and walked up to another doctor. "How about we do this dragon's tear sample and try it out? He says that his tears can resurrect dead people."

"Really? Let's try it." The second doctor replied as he walked with the first doctor with Terrance in his arms into another room and closed the door. Minerva giggled as she saw Terrance's sly smile as the doctor walked in.

"He's got a major crush on me. Anyway, do you know where Lola is?" She asked Wile E..

"She went to Japan with her old friend, Jason." He replied.

"Jason's back! Wow. Haven't seen him since the 1st grade. He was the cutest boy in the school when we were in high school. Why is she going to Japan anyway?"

"She and Jason are looking for a mate just right for Tahitii."

"Well, I'll wish her the best of luck."

Meanwhile, at the ACME Santuary for Wild Animals…

Kevin was locked away in a cage similar to an animal shelter. He growled at every guard that walked by and he was getting angrier and angrier by the minute. A creature similar to Sandslash, except he was green with purple spikes on his back, had hands, and turquoise eyes, was in the cage next to him to the right side. He was smiling at Kevin's fury.

"I like you, man." The creature said to Kevin in a deep male voice. "You must be jealous about Tahitii. Ya know, being a livin' legend and all."

"Hell yeah, I'm jealous! Tahitii's my youngest brother and a living legend. I'm so pissed at him I could just rip his ass up right now!"

"I'm jealous myself that he had to be called a legend. Why in the hell is he called a legend?"

"Two things: he's tailless and he has supernatural powers unlike any other superhero."

"Figures. Maybe I can support you, man."

"Really? You wanna be on my side?"

"Yeah. We'll team up together to get rid of Tahitii."

"Cool. By the way, what's your name?"

"Zamondo, but you can call me Z."

"Nice to meet ya, Z. I have a good feeling that we're gonna make a good team."

After that statement, they looked at each other and chuckled devilishly in unison with evil smiles on their faces.

Later, at the Kyoto Airport…

Lola walked out with a clothing pin on her small pink nose, carrying her luggage. Jason came out 2 minutes later after a few other passengers came out covering their noses or gagging. Jason sighed with relief as he came up to Lola with his luggage in the lobby.

"Are you better?" Lola asked with annoyance.

"Yeah. What's with the attitude!" Jason asked back.

"I can't believe you did that just now. I mean, sure, we ran out of barf bags, but that didn't mean that you had to puke right in the aisle before you reached the lavatory."

"Sorry, Lola. I just can't get used to ridin' in a damn airplane! You know that!"

"Next time, I should bring my own statsh of barf bags. Anyway, now that were here, we might as well start looking."

As they walked through Kyoto and found a hotel, they decided to find someone who knows about what kind of dragon Tahitii is. They happened to come across an adult Kyoto Dragon, which happened to be Tahitii's father, Havino.

"Excuse me?" Lola started. "Do you know what kind of dragon of Tahitii is?"

"Well, Lola Bunny. It's nice to meet you!" Havino greeted. "Oh, and yes. I do know what kind of dragon Tahitii is. You know why?"

"Why?"

"I'm his father."

"(gasp) SHIT! Anyway, let me chill. Hold on. Jason, can you take over for me while I keep myself from collasping?"

"Yeah." Jason replied. "You're Tahitii's daddy fo' real?"

"Yes. The name's Havino. Do you know where my beloved sons are?" Havino replied.

"They're in California with us, including Tahitii."

"What happened to Kevin?"

"That motherfuckin' son of a bitch?"

"He was there, too?"

"Yeah. He's actually plannin' to murder Tahitii."

"WHAT?"

"It's true." Lola agreed. "Kevin and Tahitii had a brawl earlier and if Jason didn't come at all, Tahitii could've been seriously wounded by then."

"So, Tahitii's okay?"

"Yeah. He's healing right now as we speak. Now, about what kind of dragon he is…"

"He's a Kyoto Dragon. Why'd you ask?"

"We're looking for a mate specially made for Tahitii. Do you know if there's any around?"

"Sure. Just hop on my back and I'll fly you to my homeland, Kyoto Meadows."

Meanwhile, back at the gym…

Razzby took over Terrance's watching duty as he sat next to his unconcious and tailless brother. Minutes later, Furball walked in with a concerned look on his face. L.Z. was still reading the dragon legends book as this happened.

"Hey, Razzby." Furball greeted.

"Hey." Razzby greeted back. "What's up?"

"I'm just chillin'. I hope Terrance got your brother back to life."

"I hope so, too. You know why?"

"No."

"Because he's the only piece of family I've got." At this point, the blue kitten counterpart of Sylvester began to cry. L.Z. reacted to this and gave him a hug.

"Don't cry, Furball." He said calmly. "I'm sure he'll turn up soon."

"I hope so."

Meanwhile, back at the hospital…

The doctors came back out of the room with Terrance running out by their feet. He lept back into Minerva's arms and got himself comfortable. Wile E. shook his head in annoyance as he stood up and took the beaker full of Terrance's tears and fulled up a plastic hospital bag with a skinny tube connected to it and Steve's arm. He activated the dispensing of the tears and watched with anxiousness with Minerva and Terrance.

"I sure hope Wile E.'s a real genius." Terrance prayed as he curled up in a ball on his back in Minerva's lap.

After about 30 minutes of waiting, there was a signal in the heart meter. The three of them and the doctors smiled as he saw Furball's only brother and family wake up from the power of Terrance's tears. As soon as he sat up, Terrance flew up to him and landed on his lap with a smile.

"Wile E.'s a genius! I knew it! Won't Furball be happy to see you?" He said excitedly. Steve rubbed the orange dragon on the head as he stayed quiet, for he was still a littlt too weak to talk.

"I'm guessing his vocal chords aren't fully healed yet." Wile E. predicted.

Meanwhile, back at the Animal Santuary…

We find that the bars are cut and blood was splattered almost everywhere with dead, sliced up guards on the ground. Kevin and Zamondo were standing outside the santuary with evil smiles on their faces. Zamondo had a small sword in his hand and it was stained with blood dripping off.

"I love a good slicing moment." He said to himself as he cleaned off the blood. Kevin was sniffing around, searching for Tahitii.

"I bet he's still unconcious from that fight we had." He said to Zamondo. "Since there's no use in killing Tahitii, I'm guessing that we'll have to kill who he loves most: Lola Bunny."

"Good idea, but I heard that she went to Japan. So, out of luck there."

"Damn! Then, we'll wait 'til she comes back. We just need to find a secret hiding place until then."

"Good idea."

Later, at Kyoto Meadows…

Havino arrived back in his homeland with Lola and Jason on his back. He walked into his cave where Gina and the two other brothers of Tahitii: Toby and Jeramy were relaxing together by the small pond and waterfall.

"Wow. We actually get to meet Tahitii's family." Lola said to Jason, who nodded in agreement.

"This is my wife, Gina, and my last two sons: Toby and Jeramy." Havino introduced as Lola and Jason got off his back.

"Pleasure to meet you. What are your names?" Gina asked.

"I'm Lola Bunny and this is my friend, Jason. " Lola introduced. "And these two must be Tahitii's remaining brothers." She kneeled down towards the two dragons and they fell in love.

"Do you know where Tahitii is?" Toby asked in a Stitch-like voice.

"He's with us… in California. Safe and sound… and away from Kevin."

"Kevin? What's he doing with Tahitii!" Jeramy asked in a furious tone.

"He's plannin' to kill him!" Jason replied.

"WHAT?" The dragons exclaimed in unison.

"Yeah. It's true. But, don't worry. Jason has him locked up in his own prison where he belongs." Lola replied.

"But why would Kevin wanna kill Tahitii?" Jeramy asked.

"Because he's a living legend. That's why."

"He's jealous?" Toby asked. Havino sat down in thought before he spoke.

"Maybe it was our dinner a few nights ago. I punished Kevin by not letting him have supper before bedtime because he insulted Tahitii. Maybe that's the purpose for being jealous." He explained. Gina nodded in agreement.

"Those were such foul words coming from that black dragon!" She agreed. "Shouldn't you stop him?"

"Me and Jeramy will help." Toby suggested.

"Good idea. We could use more dragons against one." Lola agreed. "Don't worry, Havino and Gina. Your 6 boys… or should I say 5 will be okay."

"When you do succeed, can you bring them all back safely?" Gina asked.

"Yeah. Won't we, Lola?" Jason replied.

Lola remained silent as she simply nodded with tears in her eyes and walked off with Toby and Jeramy walking beside her. Jason, Havino, and Gina looked concerned at this.

"What's wrong with Lola?" Havino asked.

"She suddenly became very shallow." Gina agreed.

"You probably won't believe this, but Lola has deep and tender feelings for Tahitii." Jason replied. "Somehow, she doesn't want Tahitii to come back to ya'll. She'd rather keep him as a pet for life."

"Oh, dear."

"Well, tell her this for us: She can keep him as long as she keeps full responsibility for him. He can be shy at times. We'll surely miss him." Havino suggested.

"A'ight. Thanks. I tell her." Jason replied. "See ya."

(Sorry I took so long. School is really keeping me busy.)
