In case you were wondering...I didn't die. Sorry I couldn't update sooner...
The Cavalry
Inside the control room…
Bally was with the other scientists at the main control board. The scientists were getting rid of the virus that was planted in the machine by Lola. They cringed at the screens and typed constantly. They tried several programs and strategies, until finally there was some progress. Bally stood behind them, observing them.
"Progress report," commanded Bally
"The virus is almost completely deleted," answered a scientist
"How bad where the damages?"
"The collars made as of half an hour ago have all been destroyed, however the majority of the ones made before that time period are still intact,"
"Still not good enough…the big guy himself expects the last phase of the plan to be complete by tonight," she said, "and if we don't, it's my neck. And if I go, I'm dragging you all down with me."
The scientists gulped, and continued working rigorously. Just then the doors opened and Bugs emerged through the doors. He walked in like a robot, swift and rigid; he made his eyes glow red by simply rubbing his eyes beforehand. Eh, it's a toon thing…
"Hey? Aren't you supposed to be road kill?" asked Bally confusedly
Bugs made no response.
"Hmm, I guess you survived. That collar IS amazing," she concluded
She turned back and focused on the screens. Bugs was making his way towards the screens. When suddenly a large figure came onto the screen. It was large and shadowy. The silhouette was that of a man, but he had pointy ears at the top of his head. He then spoke.
"Ms. Purrson, what is taking so long?" it said in a deep, creepy voice that paralyzed the room
"Umm…we're experiencing some technical difficulties," she answered nervously
"Difficulties? You know how I feel about difficulties, Ms.Purrson…"
"Y-yes sir…"
"Who is that?" he said referring to Bugs, who stopped moving when all eyes were on him.
"That's our…test subject! See how he's controlled by the collar?" said Bally quickly
Then Bally took out the controller and pressed a button. Bugs did the first thing that came to his mind to protect his cover…. he did the Robot.
"Domo origato, Mister Roboto…Domo," said Bugs stiffly as he danced
Bally and the scientists looked confused, but that was short lived when the shadow spoke.
"Enough with the games Purrson! ALL OF YOU! GET THE PLAN UNDERWAY!"
All of the workers frantically went back to the computers and worked twice as fast.
Bugs stopped dancing, letting out an internal sigh of relief, and made his way towards the screen. Bally took note of him then approached him.
"I didn't tell you to dance," said Bally eyeing him suspiciously, "something must be wrong with you."
"Malfunction! Malfunction!" blurted Bugs suddenly
He spun around and slammed his fists onto the controls. He then ran all over the place, knocking scientist off their chairs and bumping into guards.
"Stop him!" yelled Bally, "he's out of control!"
The guards on the bottom level tried to stop him, but Bugs had other plans. Bugs did a spin change into his bullfighter outfit and used his cape to dodge a guard and make him run into another.
"Olé!" said Bugs as he swung his cape back around.
Then two others came at him so Bugs did another spin-change into his boxer outfit. He gave a right cross to one guard and a left uppercut to the other. Another guard came from behind Bugs; he jumped on him and had his head in a headlock. Bugs did all he could to shake him off, but in the guards' frantic attempt to keep hold, bit Bugs' ear. "Yeow!" yelped Bugs. Bugs took of his gloves and grabbed the guy and tossed him off. "No Tyson moves allowed!" yelled Bugs, "But The Rock moves are!" Bugs slammed him to the ground.
A group of three guards tried their luck against Bugs. Bugs did a spin-change for the third time. The guards stood in amazement as they saw Bugs turn into a French Can-Can girl. Bugs lifted his skirt and Can-Can kicked each one of them where it REALLY hurts. Their eyes bugged out and they collapsed to the floor. "Woo!" cheered Bugs as he did a high kick in a victory pose.
"Don't just stand there! Shoot him!" yelled Bally to the other guards
The guards in the uppermost level of the control room then took out their guns and were about to fire on Bugs when suddenly a surge of electricity hit the lights and they were all blown out.
"Hold your fire!" yelled Bally, "Turn on the generators!"
After a few seconds the lights came slowly back from the back-up system. The lights were dim, but enough to see around oneself. She looked around, but Bugs was gone.
"Where did he go?" she asked out loud, "guards! Search the facility!"
The guards within the room gathered their guns and ran towards the door. When it opened…
"Surprise!" yelled Lola as she did a flying kick towards the first two guards and the others fell back in a domino effect. She jumped over them and landed in the center of the room.
"What the…" muttered Bally as she saw Lola there. But that was all she could say before Lola gave her a right punch. She fell to the ground.
"You know, for the protagonist, you sure do a lot of unfair sneak attacks," said Bally as she struggled to her feet
"Me unfair? Oh, like you never kicked anyone when they were down…" said Lola folding her arms, "actually…now that I think of it… you haven't been doing much of your own fighting have you?"
"You're really getting on my nerves…" she said as she lunged at Lola.
Lola easily dodged her then kicked her down. Bally got up and tried again. This time she began throwing punches. Lola dodged and blocked a few while getting in a few punches of her own. Bally took the punches, but kept going at it. The fight was really one-sided…
"I can see why you have others fight your battles," said Lola putting her hands on her hips, as Bally was trying to catch her breath. Bally turned towards Lola, glaring at her constantly as she heaved.
"Grr…GET HER!" she commanded
Finally, the guards got up from their predicament and helped Bally in her fight. The first few guards tried to grab her, but Lola dropped to the ground and swooped kicked them. She then jumped up and punched the others coming her way. A few of the remaining guards decided to try a tackle, "2-42 3-19 hut hut!" they yelled. But Lola did some back flips to dodge their assault. She landed atop one of the large supercomputers, causing the would-be football players to crash their heads into it.
"That's why they wear helmets…" said Lola
The last of the guards pointed their weapons at her. She looked at them and showed no emotion in her expression, which made them nervous. Bally mistook it for shock.
"You have no place to go, its over!" said Bally feeling victorious
"That's what you think…" said Lola confidently
Lola took out strange weapons from the pouch on her belt. They were little metal spheres. Bally ordered an attack, but Lola easily dodged the bullets by flipping over their heads. While in the air, she threw the spheres at the computers. Upon contact, they dispersed surges of electricity. They fried the system, along with all the plans of the Iron Claw. The computers exploded and sparks were flying all the way to the ceiling.
"No!" yelled Bally as she shielded her face. Bally tried to stop her, but Lola threw one of the spheres at Bally's feet and it sent electricity through her body. The guards tried to attack, but Lola disposed of them in the same manner.
"I know you're shocked about the sudden turn of events, but I really have to be going now. Ciao!" said Lola as she ran out the door. Outside Bugs was waiting for her and they both ran together down the corridor.
Bally struggled to her feet and went towards a panel at the nearby wall. She lifted the covering and hit the red alarm button.
"Security Breech!" sounded the alarm.
Bugs and Lola were still running, trying to find a way out, when the white lights turned into red sirens. They finally found a door but as they came near it, a metal door swooped in from the opening above the doorway and sealed them inside. The sounds of footsteps were coming closer and faster towards them. Bugs and Lola kept running to find another way out. For all they ran, the exits were sealing up, trapping them inside.
In the Control Room…
Bally was monitoring the situation. She grinned evilly as she watched Lola and Bugs struggling to find an exit. Her expression soon changed when the screen changed its image, to that of her boss.
"Purrson! What's going on!" he yelled
"Uh…." She muttered wide-eyed
"Don't just stand there with your mouth hanging open! ANSWER ME!"
"The rabbits…. they…. she…. an Agent…" she said trying to explain
"PURRSON!"
"AGENT BUNNY OF THE FORCE CAME HERE AND DESTROYED EVERYTHING!" blurted Bally then quickly covered her mouth before she said anything else.
"You know how I feel about failure, Purrson…"
"But it wasn't my fault! It was all that Bunny's fault!" She said with tears swelling in her eyes, begging him to understand
"Cut the crap, Purrson. You know what…cut the whole thing. I'm scrapping this plan,"
"So I'm off the hook?" she said hopefully
"No. I'm destroying everything that has to do with plan 'Claw Collar'. And I do mean EVERYTHING!"
"Huh?"
The screen went black and in the center appeared in red, '5:00'.
The alarm voice then sounded, "Caution: Facility will self-destruct in five minutes."
The seconds started counting down. Then bellow the counter appeared a message:
Have a nice day, PurrsonBally backed away slowly from the screen, astonished.
"How dare he…" she whispered
Meanwhile…
Lola and Bugs were trying even harder to find a way out, since they heard that announcement of self-destruction. When they turned a corner, a whole group of guards was waiting for them. They fired upon our duo, so they hid back behind the corner.
"Cover me," said Lola
"Gotcha," answered Bugs
Lola jumped from out the corner and took some shots upon the group. Five fell to the ground. They fired upon her, then that was when Bugs shot back at them with his gun. The guards were soon out. Bugs and Lola made it past them, down that corridor.
2:46
When they continued running, they found a set of stairs. It went from the basement, all the way to the top of the building. The staircase itself spiraled within the circular shaped stairwell. Up was their best bet, so Lola activated her jetpack. Bugs held on to her and they both went flying up. There was a glass window at the very top, which looked onto the sky. That was their escape!
1:28
Suddenly, more guards appeared at the bottom. They began firing upon them. Lola spun around to dodge the shots while Bugs fired back on them. The guard's shots hit the glass and it broke. The pieces were falling down, but Lola hid underneath the stairs to avoid them. They reappeared from underneath and continued flying upwards.
Lola looked back, "Hey! Thanks for saying us the trouble of having to break through it!"
The guards then looked at each other, with a 'doh!' expression on their faces.
"Why the heck are we still here? This place is gonna blow!" said one of them finally realizing the bigger picture
They all ran for their lives.

Sections of the facility began to explode. Random explosions were overtaking the main facility. The heat was rising and the fires and explosions were spreading through the entire structure of the facility, causing a chain-reaction. Lola and Bugs narrowly escaped the flames and cinders as they emerged through their makeshift exit.
"Phew…" sighed Bugs and Lola as they looked back at what could have been their end
Then suddenly, mini-fighter jets appeared from the neighboring facilities. They were smaller in comparison to the other jets, and carried smaller artillery. Yet they moved as fast as normal jets. They flew towards them in battle formation.
"Oh, crud…" muttered Bugs and Lola simultaneously
They knew they couldn't out-fly a jet on the jetpack. They were at an obvious disadvantage. So they flew down towards the forest, hoping to lose them among the trees. The jets followed them, firing upon them. The plan, however, wasn't working. To their surprise, the jets were able to maneuver through the trees with minimal difficulty. They were still firing upon Bugs and Lola.
Once the trees became less dense, one of the jets landed a shot on Lola's jetpack. It caught on fire and they were losing altitude. Lola released herself from the jetpack just as the gasoline ignited. They crashed into the clearing; Bugs landed a few feet away from Lola. The mini-fighter jets reversed their thrusters and began to hover in the air. They surrounded above them in a circle closing off all means of escape. Bugs was the first to recover, he went over to Lola, whom also revived from the fall. They were on the ground, looking upon their capturers. They held each other, as they glared with worry at their capturers. It seemed like the end when suddenly…
A mini-fighter jet blew up and crashed to the ground. Suddenly the others gave off explosions and crashed to the ground as well. Bugs and Lola looked up even further. There was a sight for sore eyes! The Force had sent back up!
One of the jets landed on the ground, near Bugs and Lola. The cockpit opened up and the pilot emerged from it.
"DJ!" exclaimed Bugs and Lola
"Hey guys! Hope we're not too late…" he said looking around sternly, which is difficult since he has such a pretty boy face...
"No way, doc" said Bugs
"You're right on time!" said Lola
"Let's go foil their plans!" said DJ
"Eh, we did most of da foilin' already," said Bugs
"What? Then what're we gonna do with all these guns?" said DJ disappointedly pointing to the weapons on the jets
"Well…you can blow stuff up!" suggested Lola
"I love blowing stuff up! Yay! Let's go!" said DJ eagerly
DJ, Bugs, and Lola got into the jet. DJ adjusted the second seat, moving it further back, allowing a third seat to fit there. They got in, with DJ as the pilot, Lola in the second seat, and Bugs in the third. They then flew into the air. Then all the other Force jets got into formation. They flew towards one of the facilities and fired upon it. Personnel evacuated the facility as it was bombarded. Enemy jets were appearing everywhere, challenging the force. DJ flew his jet toward one of the facilities, armed and ready to fire.
DJ smirked evilly, well…more like the smile a kid makes when they're about to do the 'fatality' in Mortal Kombat. "You want some of this?" he said. He fired like a maniac and he most definetly hit his mark. The facility blew up and the flames went into the air. He brought up the jet to a hovering position over his little bonfire. DJ smiled, the kid just pulled off the code without missing a button. "Woo hoo!" yelled DJ. Bugs and Lola had sticks over the side, roasting marshmallows.
"He hangs out wit Daffy way too much," said Bugs
"Uh huh," said Lola as she blew out her burning marshmallow
Just then the Boss, that of the Force, appeared on DJ's screen.
"C'mon you three! Quit foolin' around! Finish the job!" he yelled
"Yes sir!" said DJ
The rest of the force destroyed the remaining facilities. Each of the islands of the archipelego had a large fire burning. The Force kept attacking until there was nothing left of the Iron Claw. When it was over, they gathered their bearings and headed back to the States.
"That was awesome!" said DJ
"Yeah, nice firing dere, doc," said Bugs relaxing in his seat
"Thanks!"
"What a relief that its over…" said Lola laying back in her seat
"Hey you guys, wanna hear some music?" said DJ
"Sure…" answered the Bunnies
DJ then put on the stereo. He played 'Imagine' by John Lennon. Bugs and Lola that it was weird DJ would play souch a peace-loving song after he…well you know. It was a pleasant tune until…
"Imagine all the people,
Living for today Ahaha," vocalized DJ, quite badly I might add.
Bugs and Lola cringed and slouched in their seats.
"It's gonna be a long flight…." they muttered
Meanwhile…in a Chuck E. Cheeses
Gladys had invited the kids to a whole day eating pizza and playing games. Fun grandma, dontcha think? Tanya was enjoying her third slice of veggie pizza, with Gladys sitting across from her. Sean had gone off on his own.
"Are you having fun?" asked Gladys to her granddaughter
"I sure am!" said Tanya before taking another bite
"I'm glad," Gladys then looked around, "have you seen your brother?"
"I..nn…ow" said Tanya with a mouthful
"Oreo? But we already bought some,"
Tanya shook her head. She swallowed the food in her mouth.
"I said 'I don't know,'" said Tanya wiping her face
"Use a napkin,"
Tanya took one and obeyed.
"I'll go look for him!" said Tanya getting up
"I'll come with you," said Gladys
"If I know Sean, he's probably at the arcade playing games without me,"
Which was exactly what the little gray rabbit was doing. He was playing 'Shoot the Hoops'. A crowd of children had formed around him as he played. He was concentrated on the basketball and the hoop. He looked up then down. Gripped the basketball then made the shot. Swoosh! He got another perfect score.
Gladys had a hard time keeping up with the agile little Tanya. She got separated from her and was looking for her among the racing games, where she had lost her. Tanya, on the other hand, had spotted her brother.
"Hey Sean, whatcha doin'?" she asked with a smirk as she snuck up behind him
Sean almost jumped. He turned around and saw his sister, grinning at him.
"I'm shooting baskets," he answered annoyed looking back at the hoop.
"Obviously," she said putting her hands on her hips, "grandma's looking for you."
"I'm almost done, I still have one more shot left,"
"Wow, did you win all of those?" she asked gazing at the baskets full of tickets.
"Yup, I'm gonna win that skateboard with the flames on it,"
"Awesome,"
"I just need to make this last shot,"
Sean got into position. The children around him grew quiet. He then exhaled as he released the ball. It went into the air and headed for the backboard. It bounced off the board and into the hoop.
"Yay!" cheered the children
"You did it!" cheered Tanya
Gladys faintly heard Tanya's voice in the crowd and headed in that direction, trying to get past all the commotion of the kids playing. Just then she saw a group of men pass by, dressed in black suits. She thought that was odd. She kept searching for her grandkids.
"Tanya? Sean?" she called out
She turned the corner at the Whack-a-Moles and found a basketball roll to her feet. She looked around and saw the hoops, the baskets with tickets, but no Sean nor Tanya. She looked around frantically. She caught a glimpse of the men in black suits walking out the doors with two children.
"Hey!" she called as she ran towards them
She emerged through the doors and saw a black SUV burning rubber as it exited the parking lot.
"NOO!" she screamed as she lost sight of the car as it turned a corner
"TANYA! SEAN!"
