REVIEW RESPONSE
PurpleCobra247: Thanks for the suggestions. It seems unaminous as to what Bugs will be. I'll have to decide on Lola for myself as I've been given two possibilities.
Nightw2: I alrready knew what Jess would be but thanks for the suggestion anyway as I wasn't sure about Zach. The skills you suggested seem quite logical. You'll see what I decide on in a later chapter.
Mimic12355: Thanks for the suggestions. Glad you like the story so far.
Marih Dimitri: When you said Wile E should have the Hachet works, what do you mean by that as I'm not sure? Thanks for the suggestion anyway and glad you like the story.
Rock Raider: Hmm, a Timesplitters cameo. Interesting. I'll certinly think about it. Thanks for the idea. I do have the first 4 chapters written already (including this one and the chapter I already posted) so it won't be in those chapters.
A/N: Ok, a lengthy chapter here, but it's necessary, as I need to explain where everyone ended up. Oh, and I'm using a different measuring system to what you may be used to. Just to give you an idea on the conversion, 1 metre is roughly 3 ft and 4 inches. Hope that eases any confusion you might have. Over the next few chapters, I'll be introducing the important people, mostly the ancestors of the Looney Tunes.
Where are we?When Bugs woke up, he found himself in the middle of a desert. There were a few cacti and a few rocks around. Bugs had a look around and saw that Lola and Jessica were near him, which made him give a huge sigh of relief. He was relieved that his family were all with him, but nobody else was with him. This made him worry for a bit. He was in an unknown area and only his family were with him. He grew worried about his friends but he didn't worry about his enemies, as he knew they could handle themselves. To an extent, his friends could look after themselves as well, especially Tweety and Daffy. This didn't stop him worrying about Porky and Foghorn Leghorn. He looked up at the sky and saw some birds flying overhead. He assumed that they were vultures and looked at Lola and Jessica. Jessica was waking up but Lola wasn't. Bugs knelt down and began shaking Lola on the shoulder. She eventually woke up and looked up. One of the vultures above was diving. She rolled out of the way and the vulture crashed head first into the ground. Jessica was now fully awake and was eyeing the vulture that had crashed. On seeing that they were awake, all the other vultures had fled. The only remaining vulture was the one that had crashed into the ground. It was slowly regaining consciousness. When it finally woke up, it looked around and looked at the three rabbits. It had fully come round. The vulture had black feathers and an orange beak. It was only slightly taller than Jessica but smaller than Bugs and Lola.
"Err, ok you lot, come quietly and I won't hurt you." The vulture said.
"Eh doc, it's three against one. Do you have a chance?" Bugs asked.
"Err, I could beat you all."
"Somehow, I doubt that." Lola replied.
"Err, doubt if you wish. But I'd suggest that you come with me."
"Why?"
"Err, otherwise your child will be badly hurt." Jessica prepared for the possibility that she might have to fight this vulture. Lola didn't want anything to happen to her daughter but she also didn't want to comply with this vulture. Bugs didn't know what to do. It wasn't his style to give up but he wanted to protect his daughter.
"So err, what do you do?" The vulture asked.
"I don't even believe that you'd hurt a young girl." Lola said.
"Err, you sure about that?" Jessica braced herself when she heard the vulture's response, and just in time as the vulture gave Jessica a sharp kick. Because Jessica had braced herself, and because of her physical strength, she was pretty much unaffected by the kick. The vulture, however, was shocked. His kick did almost nothing to Jessica but it had strained his foot. To him, it was like he had kicked solid rock. He pulled his foot into his hands and began hopping on the spot. Bugs and Lola smirked to themselves in amusement.
"He sprained his foot while kicking a little girl." Bugs joked. Jessica just kept quiet about her physical strength and just rubbed her arm, pretending that it was hurting a little.
"Heh, if this vulture can't hurt Jess then what chance does it stand against us?" Lola asked. The vulture began to panic.
"Uh oh." The vulture muttered.
"Now doc, perhaps you could help us. Is there a town nearby?" Bugs asked. The vulture just pointed in a vague direction before flying away. Lola was looking in the direction the vulture pointed while Bugs was with Jessica.
"Are you ok?" Bugs asked.
"Fine. That vulture wasn't very strong." Jessica replied.
"It was probably a youngster."
"Oh, why was it attacking?"
"It probably thought we were dead while we were lying on the ground."
"Oh. But where are we?"
"Wish I knew."
"Guys, shouldn't we go towards where that vulture pointed?" Lola asked.
"Sure, we aren't going to get anything done by sitting around here." Bugs replied.
Sylvester, Penelope and Sylvester Jr. woke up in the middle of the desert as well, but in a different area to where Bugs, Lola and Jessica were. The area they were in was right on the edge of a canyon. There were a few cacti and some rocks around. There was a stream at the bottom of the canyon. The canyon itself was about 200 metres deep. The first to awake was Sylvester. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the canyon. His fact turned white with terror and he retreated slowly so he was no longer in danger of falling. He also pulled Penelope and his son away from the chasm to make sure they couldn't fall when they woke up. He then had a look around the area. He couldn't see anyone around other than his son and Penelope. As he watched, Penelope regained consciousness. She sat up and immediately clutched her chest.
"Penelope, are you ok?" Sylvester asked.
"I think…there's something…in…my chest." Penelope replied. Her voice was very weak, almost as if she was getting less air.
"Will you be ok?"
"Don't…know." Penelope's face then cringed in pain. She was holding her chest even tighter.
"What is it?" Sylvester was getting incredibly worried about Penelope. She was clearly getting worse.
"It's…moving." Penelope's face then began turning blue and she began choking. Thinking quickly, Sylvester went around to Penelope's back and wrapped his arms around her. He then gripped his hands together and squeezed his hands into her chest. He squeezed hard to try and force whatever was stuck in Penelope's chest out of her body. After a few squeezed, Penelope finally coughed up what was in her chest. Penelope then fainted in Sylvester's arms due to lack of air. Sylvester held onto Penelope and looked at what she had coughed up. He was shocked to see Tweety and Aaooga climbing to their feet. They were gasping for air and were sweating, as if they had been in somewhere very hot. Sylvester eventually figured out that they were in Penelope's chest, but was unsure as to why they were in there.
"Tweety, Aaooga, what happened?" Sylvester asked. Tweety looked up at Sylvester.
"I don't know for certain. Last I remember was waking up on some dark and very hot room." Tweety replied. Penelope eventually woke up. Her face had regained its normal colour, much to Sylvester's relief. She looked down and saw Tweety and Aaooga on the floor. They were now standing up and looking around.
"Where did you two come from?" Penelope asked.
"I think they were stuck in your chest." Sylvester replied.
"What?" Everyone else asked in chorus.
"I don't understand myself, but they may have been inside you. That would be why you were having difficulty breathing." Aaooga eventually figured out what had happened.
"I've got it. I think that when we arrived here from Wile E's time device, me and Tweety were teleported inside Penelope's lungs." Aaooga said.
"Typical Wile E mistake." Tweety muttered. They then realised that Sylvester Jr. was awake. He was looking down into the canyon that they were near. Tweety flew in front of him, partly to get his attention and partly to prevent him from falling off the cliff.
"Are you ok?" Tweety asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Sylvester Jr. replied.
"But where are we?" Sylvester asked.
"Wish I knew." Penelope replied.
"Pop, look down there." Sylvester Jr. Called out. Everyone looked down the canyon to see what Sylvester Jr. had seen. He had seen what looked like a small town at the bottom of the canyon. It was out of focus but it could still be seen, but only just.
"I think we should go down there and see what's there." Penelope suggested.
"But how are you three going to get down there?" Aaooga asked.
"We can fly down but we're not strong enough to carry you down." Tweety added.
"Don't know. We'll need to think about it." Sylvester replied. He sat down to think but as he sat down, the portion of the cliff that he, Penelope and Sylvester Jr. were on collapsed without warning. Tweety and Aaooga could do nothing but watch in horror as Sylvester, Sylvester Jr. and Penelope were carried down the cliff on a rock that was sliding down the cliff at high speed. They flew after them as fast as they could but were unable to catch up to them. When they eventually reached the bottom of the canyon, they found Sylvester Jr. and Penelope sitting on the rock they were on. The rock had stopped right at the edge of the bank, not quite in the river but very near. Sylvester Jr. was in Penelope's arms and shaking. Sylvester was nowhere in sight. Tweety and Aaooga went over to where Sylvester Jr. and Penelope were and landed on Penelope's shoulder.
"Are you guys ok?" Aaooga asked.
"I'm still alive." Penelope replied.
"I'm very shaken." Sylvester Jr. added.
"Where's Sylvester?" Tweety asked.
"I don't know. I had my eyes closed the whole time out of terror." Penelope replied. Tweety then heard some paddling from the river. He had a look and saw Sylvester in the river, holding onto the bank trying to pull himself up. He eventually succeeded and was sitting on the bank breathing heavily, a mixture of relief, exhaustion and shock.
"Are you ok Sylvester?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sylvester replied.
"Ok, now that we're together, we need to find the others."
"Well perhaps they may be in town."
"Ok, let's have a look."
Wile E coyote woke up and found himself in a cave. He had no idea where he was but he looked around in his surroundings. The room he was in had a brown vanity desk in the corner. It looked custom made of Cactus skin and stones. He was on a bed made of rocks with a mattress made of the inside of a cactus. It was rather comfortable despite the material. There was a duvet made of vulture feathers. The pillow his head was resting on was also made of vulture feathers. His surroundings were completely unfamiliar. He sat on the bed that he was on and began thinking, trying to figure out where he was. He had a good idea of what had happened. He realised that the time machine he and Calamite had made had been activated somehow. While he was thinking, he heard the door leading to the room he was in open.
"Oh, you're awake." A feminine voice coming from the door said. Wile E looked towards the door and saw a coyote in the doorway. She was wearing custom made clothes made from cactus and feathers. She was carrying a tray with a mug and a plate. The coyote came over to Wile E and gave him the tray. The mug contained ordinary water while there were scorpions on the plate. Wile E looked at what had been offered to him. He was hungry and the scorpions looked tasty. They had been thoroughly cooked and the venomous stingers had been removed.
"Erm, thank you." Wile E said. He hesitantly took the tray and sipped the water in the mug.
"Are you ok?" The coyote asked.
"Where am I?"
"You're in my house. I found you unconscious in the middle of the desert."
"Why thank you."
"Anyway, why were you in the desert?"
"It's a very long story."
"I've got time." Wile E sighed and began explaining to the coyote about what had happened. By the time he had finished, the coyote seemed to understand what had happened but she seemed unsure of the finer details. Wile E had completely finished the food and the drink the coyote had given him.
"So, you're from the future are you?" The coyote asked.
"Yeah, that's the basis." Wile E replied.
"Well, I'm sure that your assistant will be able to fix that time machine and take you and your friends back home."
"I'm sure he will."
"Oh, I just realised that we aren't acquainted with each other."
"Oh yeah, my name is Wile E coyote."
"Pleasure to meet you. My name is Wendy Coyote."
When Foghorn Leghorn regained consciousness, he found that he was in a tent of some kind. The tent had a very small entrance and there was a dream catcher in the doorway. He was lying down on what felt like a bearskin rug. The tent was also decorated with a mixture of human and animal scalps. The sight sent chills down his spine. He could also see horns made into flutes. He looked around his area and eventually saw Miss. Prissy lying down next to him. He shook her on the shoulder to wake her up. She quickly woke up, still a little weary. She looked around the room and eventually saw Foghorn Leghorn next to him.
"Where are we?" Miss. Prissy asked.
"I have, I say, I have no idea."
"We're no longer in Wile E's lab, that's for sure."
"I wonder if someone activated the time, I say, time machine."
"Probably." The tent was suddenly opened. They turned and looked towards the entrance and saw a black skinned human at the entrance to the tent. The human was wearing a loincloth covered in what looked like bear fur all over his body. His face was pierced with small stones and he had surprisingly long hair. The human spoke to them in a language that Foghorn and Miss. Prissy couldn't understand.
"Err, what?" Miss. Prissy asked. The Indian looked at them with a puzzled expression. He then realised something and hollered outside the tent. Within a few seconds, a second Indian entered the area. This one looked very similar to the first one except that he had lighter skin and shorter hair.
"We see you're awake." The other Indian said.
"You understand us?" Foghorn asked.
"Yes. I'm the chief's translator. My name is Rising guide Bull."
"And who is the other person."
"He is the chief of our tribe. His name is Blue Sun. Our tribe is called the Igaguri tribe."
"My name's Miss. Prissy. This is my partner Foghorn Leghorn." Miss. Prissy introduced.
"It's a pleasure, I say, it's a pleasure to meet you." Foghorn added. Rising guide Bull translated what Foghorn and Miss. Prissy had said into Blue Sun's ear. Blue ear then replied in his own language.
"Blue Sun is asking what you two were doing in the middle of the desert." Rising guide Bull said.
"It's a very long and complicated story." Miss. Prissy replied. Even so, she and Foghorn Leghorn explained the situation as best as they could.
"You were right, that story is long and complicated."
"Do you have any idea where our friends might be?" Miss. Prissy asked.
"There is a white man settlement to the south. Try asking around there."
"Ok, thank you for your help."
"May the bulls guide you to a safe passage."
Daffy woke up in the middle of the desert. When he looked around, all he saw were a few cacti and some rocks. There was a very light breeze and the sun was blazing down on him. He looked around and saw that Porky pig and Zach were near him. He rubbed Porky on the shoulder to wake up. When Porky woke up, he was surprised as to where they were. He didn't recognise the area at all.
"Wh-wh-where are we" Porky asked.
"Wish I knew. This place is completely unfamiliar." Daffy replied.
"Do you think the time machine was sw-sw-turned on?"
"It might have done. No other thought comes to mind."
"So, what do we d-d-do?"
"I dunno. Perhaps ask someone for directions."
"Who'd be in the middle of th-th-nowhere?" When he said this, Daffy saw a cloud of dust heading towards them at high speed. He watched as the cloud of dust came towards them and then suddenly stopped. When the dust cleared, there was a blue and purple bird standing in front of them. It was a bird that Daffy thought he recognised.
"Roadrunner?" The bird gave Daffy a puzzled look. He then blew a raspberry and looked at them. The raspberry woke Zach up. He looked up and immediately saw the bird.
"Roadrunner?" Zach asked.
"I don't be-be-think that he's roadrunner." Porky replied
"Then, who is he?" The bird held up a sign that said 'Who are you?'
"My name's Daffy and he's called Porky." Daffy said. The bird nodded and then held up a sign that said 'My name is desert burner (spedibous birdious).'
"Ok, where about's are we?"
'In the middle of nowhere.'
"Are there any settlements nearby?"
'Indian camp to the west and a town to the south.'
"Can you show us to the town then?"
'Ok, follow me.'
"Ok, th-th-thanks." Desert Burner nodded and sped away to the south, leaving a trail of dust and a line of footprints for Daffy and Porky to follow.
"Never ask a roadrunner to be your guide." Daffy muttered. Zach just laughed a little as they chased after desert burner.
On their way to the town the vulture had directed them to, Bugs, Lola and Jessica passed through a narrow area of the canyon. They were keeping close to the wall to avoid the stream. While it wasn't very wide, it was surprisingly deep. There were a few plants around but not much else. Jessica was clinging onto Bugs' shoulder, which made it a little bit harder for him to keep his balance. Lola was holding onto him to help out. The path they were walking on was so narrow that they could only go in single file. Jessica was constantly looking overhead and seeing vultures flying above them. She was a little worried that one would dive at them like the one earlier. The group kept on moving as best as they could and eventually, the path widened. When the path widened, the group saw a large gap in the side of the cliff. The just ignored it and continued on. The path was steadily growing wider and wider as they walked forward. Eventually, Jessica jumped down from her father's shoulder and walked with them. As the path got wider, they were then confronted by 4 human looking figures on horseback. They were all dressed in black and smoking cigars. The horses were draped in black robes and were also black. They also had necklaces with skull decorations. They all looked fearsome but Bugs, Lola and Jessica showed pretty much no fear. Bugs pulled out a carrot and started munching casually.
"Eh…what's up docs?" Bugs asked.
"What are you doing here?" One of the humans asked.
"Trying to get to a town."
"So you thought you'd come through this neck of the desert eh?"
"You know another way?"
"You don't want to know what we do to trespassers."
"Why?" Lola asked.
"You're pushing your lucky missy." The rider lashed out with a whip but aimed it at Lola's foot. The whip struck the tip of her shoe and split the end.
"Hey! These are my favourite shoes!" Lola protested. The rider then lashed at Bugs and took the carrot he was munching out of his hand.
"Hey doc, give me the carrot." Bugs said. The rider scoffed and put the carrot in his pocket. He then gave one more lash at Jessica. The whip struck the bow that she was using to hold her ears down. The bow broke and fell to the ground. A sudden gust of wind blew Jessica's ears to the side. Jessica grabbed what remained of her bow and looked at it. It had been ripped clean in two and was now completely useless. Her eyes were close to tears.
"That was my favourite bow." Jessica moaned.
"Consider that a warning Rabbits. Next time we won't be so nice." The rider said. He nodded at the others and they all rode off, still with the carrot that Bugs had. The group just stared at the horsemen intently as they rode away. When they were out of sight, they all looked at each other, then back at where the horsemen had gone. They were all showing a very evil glare.
"Of course…" Bugs began.
"...You realise…" Lola added.
"...This means war!" Jessica finished.
A/N: I deliberately left out people like Elmer Fudd as part of the plot. They'll appear in a future chapter. For now, please review. The western style fighting won't start for a while. And who were those guys Bugs and his family ran into? All will be revealled.
