KidsWBYungsta Presents KidsWBYungsta's Battle for the Animation Multiverse – Prologue: What's Going On in the Animation Multiverse?
KidsWBYungsta Presents KidsWBYungsta's Battle for the Animation Multiverse – Prologue: "What's Going On in the Animation Multiverse?"

Prologue: What's Going On in the Animation Multiverse?

Present Day: An Overview of Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

Within the Animation Multiverse, there was a main hub where all of the Toons in the Multiverse would often congregate and collaborate with each other. A hub where the Toons would be able to interact with each other and come together for special events. A hub that they would call a home that is an extension of their own home. A hub that is known as… 'Dubba City'.

Because of how rare it would be for most of the Toons to actually see each other because of how they come from different walks of life—and even different companies—most are unaware that there was a massive universe that brought them closer together than they would realize.

However, that would change on one fateful day where a group of heroes would band together and, despite their differences, unite to save the greater good of the Animation Multiverse from a League of Extraordinary Villains who would threaten the animated lives of all the characters who inhabited the Multiverse…


Future: A Mass Dystopia — The Dubba City Dystopia, Animation Multiverse

Usually, the Animation Multiverse, which served as the hub that combined the cartoon worlds of the Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney cartoons into one place, would have been bustling with bright, animated faces and an overall sense of enlightenment and entertainment. Whether it would involve a game of "Duck Season, Rabbit Season" between Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd or even the Warners finding their way through history and parodies of pop culture, there was always something interesting going on in the Animation Multiverse, particularly in Dubba City, which allowed the characters to coexist at any of the locations that were present.

However, this multiverse was looking more and more desolate by the minute because of some mysterious forces that were taking out the heroes—and even some of the villains—one-by-one. Although some would have assumed that this was the work of Strike, this did not look to be the case because whoever was behind this mess seems to have gotten a stronger grip on the Animation Multiverse compared to what happened with Strike and his takeover of CN City. Once this group's takeover of the Animation Multiverse was becoming more intense, this superteam of villains actually utilized robots to capture the Toons in Master Models and lock them in mysterious locations to create evil robotic duplicates that would populate Dubba City.

Despite the villains thinking that this would be an easy victory for them, they would be proven wrong as a few of the heroes were crafty enough to evade capture. However, their invincibility was short-lived as they would find themselves encapsulated by the villains, locked in a mysterious room where no one would find them. Well, no one except a certain vigilante black cat who managed to evade the robots that had captured the heroes of yesteryear.


Present Day: Aku's Mysterious Lair: Home of the League of Extraordinary Villains — ACME Space Station, The Reaches of Outer Space, Animation Multiverse

Using his katana, Geraldine, to slice and dice his way through the robots sent out to capture him, the black cat eventually found himself beamed onto a mysterious lair in space that had not been opened for years. Once he found his way into the building, he noticed that the building contained various cartoon characters encased in ice capsules. As the black cat made his way through the building to see who else was captured in ice capsules, his first thought was that Strike had somehow gotten his revenge and expanded his scope to eliminate every cartoon character in existence. However, the more he walked through the building, the more he realized that this was the work of a supergroup of villains who were more powerful than Strike combined.

Suddenly, he overheard a voice saying, "Well, well, well… I see that the robots are coming along nicely…"

The black cat gave a look of confusion as he said to himself, "Robots? Who would be thinking about robots at a time like this? Don't they already have their rogue robot minions around this dystopian land?"

Spurring the need to investigate, the black cat moved to where the source of the voice came from, peering through a window to see a green- and yellow-striped insectoid alien robot who was busy surveying the aforementioned robots, one of whom looked like a certain teenage robot girl. The alien robot gave a sly smile as she looked over at the creator of the robots, who was busy putting the finishing touches on a robot that looked like a grey rabbit. The creator then pulled off his protective mask to reveal himself as a anthropomorphic deadly viral pathogenic agent who was dressed as Neo from The Matrix.

The virus walked up to the alien robot and said with a smirk, "Oh, come on now, baby, you know how it is. Besides, it's about time that I finally got my payback on that Osmosis Jones. If he thought his first time trying to get rid of me was a challenge, wait until he sees the new and improved Thrax!"

The black cat's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the two robots that were constructed and the reference to Osmosis Jones. Before he could react, he overheard another voice, saying, "You thought you wanted to get your revenge on an old enemy? I've waited for the opportunity to destroy Ben Tennyson once and for all! From the moment I've finally gotten control of that blasted Omnitrix, I knew I had an opportunity to go on the full-fledged attack."

The source of the voice came from an intergalactic alien warlord and conqueror, who was the archenemy of the one named Ben Tennyson. As the alien warlord walked up to the virus and alien robot, he said with a devious smirk, "Who knew that the villainous supergroup would prove to make us a force to be reckoned with?"

"You're not kiddin', brother," another voice added, this time coming from a fat green alien who was smoking a cigarette. "My Moron Mountain amusement park was close to shutting its doors for good after my old minions lost to those Looney Tunes and Michael Jordan. Thanks to that sweet deal with Aku, I was able to destroy those pathetic Tunes and I even managed to destroy those Monstars!"

Before the black cat could react appropriately to the current situation, he saw four women walking up to the four supervillains who were talking among themselves. The first of the four ladies wore a golden fuku that resembled armor, matching boots and a golden headdress that had her long hair flowing; the other three girls were sisters, the oldest of whom had long white hair wrapped in a ponytail and dressed in all blue attire; the second of the three sisters had long brunette hair and was dressed in all purple; and the youngest of the three sisters had frizzy blue hair and dressed in all burgundy.

The black cat's eyes bugged out in surprise as he said to himself, "Sailor Galaxia and the Trix? What kind of villainous superteam is this?"

Once he put the pieces together, he gave a look of shock as he looked back at the characters that were encased in stone capsules and said, "Oh, man, I should've picked up on this sooner! Well, I guess that explains as to why this place has been feeling like a ghost town for so long."

While he was hoping to recruit the heroes from the past to help him save the future of the Animation Multiverse, he knew that it wouldn't be possible without crossing a few dimensions. However, he knew that he had the help of one of the heroes who managed to evade capture: The Grim Reaper. Hoping that Grim would come and help him in his mission, he used his dimensional watch to travel to the future to catch up with Grim and see if he could help him recruit the heroes that would be needed to prevent the bad future he saw of Dubba City, as well as preventing the villains ruling the Animation Multiverse with an iron fist.

Once the black cat made his way to find the Grim Reaper, an ominous figure watched him from afar, laughing evilly as he said, "Try as you might, foolish Mao Mao, but even if you try to rally the greatest group of superheroes to defeat us, just know one thing… your efforts might be too late…"


Future: Mao Mao's Secret Hideout — The Dubba City Dystopia, Animation Multiverse

Just as the villains were preparing to put their plan into action, Mao Mao made it back to the futuristic dystopia that was once Dubba City and rushed to his secret hideout, hoping to meet up with an old friend as he said to himself, "If those villains think that it's too late to save the Multiverse, let's just say that they have another thing coming…"

Just as he made his way into his hideout, he found himself encountering a silhouetted figure who was sharpening his scythe, possibly preparing for the inevitable that would come from the villainous superteam. The mysterious figure just looked at his scythe, then gave a sad sigh when he looked at the various pictures that were hanging up on the wall of the various cartoon characters that once inhabited the Dubba City area of the Animation Multiverse: one that involved the Looney Tunes posed together with all smiles, another involving the Eds (okay, mainly Eddy) swindling Billy out of his money on their latest scam, another involving Jenny Wakeman and The Powerpuff Girls stopping one of Mojo Jojo's evil plan, and one that had Yakko, Wakko and Dot looking over everything from the Warner Bros. Water Tower.

"To think that this was once a bustling metropolis… now nothing more than a desolate ghost town…" The mysterious figure said in a Jamaican accent.

"Geez, Grim, I thought you would've been happy to see such a desolate ghost town as this," Mao Mao quipped while giving a smirk, just as he caught up with the Grim Reaper. "In all seriousness, though, you've just been in here, sharpening your scythe? Isn't that thing already sharp enough as it is?"

Grim could only roll his eyes in annoyance as he said, "Listen, cool it with the jokes, Mao Mao, and just follow me on this: I've got to make sure my scythe is ready for whatever those blasted supervillains are going to throw at us!"

"Well, from what I just saw, it seems like there's going to be something bigger that's in store," Mao Mao explained. "I just saw that those villains were going to set up something big that will require even more than a mere scythe or even my trusty sword 'Geraldine'. Something tells me that this is going to require more than just the two of us…"

As Mao Mao rubbed his chin, thinking of a master plan, Grim could only raise an eyebrow quizzically as he said, "Just what are you getting at, Mao Mao?"

As Mao Mao continued his train of thought, the right idea came into his mind and, with the snap of a finger, he spoke with such confidence to Grim as he said, "Perfect, I've got it! Grim, you know how those villains came together to form their own superteam? Why don't we go and form our own superteam of animated heroes?"

Grim just stood there, dumbfounded at Mao Mao's suggestion, then he gave a heated sigh as he said, "Okay, Mao Mao, here's the thing: first of all, this is not Space Jam and we're not playing in a high-stakes basketball game against some superpowered aliens or anything like that. Secondly, where are we going to find any heroes on such short notice? Most of them had been taken out by the villains!"

"Not all of them, Grim," Mao Mao said as he pulled out a secret viary database to show the heroes he had in mind for this superteam. "You see, I had kept a database of some of the Animation Multiverse's most-invincible heroes and I think that they would be the right ones to help us in this battle for the future of the Animation Multiverse."

Grim took a look at the viary database Mao Mao had provided and took a look at some of the heroes that he had in mind. While some of the heroes Mao Mao had recommended would make sense for an adventure like this, such as Ben Tennyson, Jenny Wakeman and Generator Rex, there were some that he found rather… out of the ordinary, to say the least.

"Bugs Bunny?" Grim said in a surprised tone. "You really think that Bugs Bunny, a talking cartoon bunny, would be able to help us in this fight?!"

"What? Why are you getting worked up about this, Grim?" Mao Mao said, surprised by how indignant Grim was sounding at the moment. "Besides, I've seen Bugs accomplish such impressive feats over the years, whether it was taking on The Crusher in a boxing match, holding his own in a bullfight or even teaming up with Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player who ever walked the planet, to save the Looney Tunes world from a rogue group of basketball-playing aliens? I'd say he meets the qualifications of being a worthy asset to this team, maybe even as the team leader."

Before Grim could respond, Mao Mao stopped him in his tracks, adding, "Oh, and before you say anything about him being a talking cartoon bunny, I'd like to note that I never heard of a talking skeleton in the entire Multiverse before I met you, Grim."

Grim was going to respond with a comment of his own, but he felt that trying to argue with Mao Mao on anything would be a lost cause at this point. Just ask Biclops or Adorabat…

"Alright, Mao Mao, well, I guess I could see why someone like a Bugs Bunny or a Courage the Cowardly Dog would be worthy to the team, but what would Puffy AmiYumi or the Eds even do?" Grim asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mao Mao just shrugged in response as he said, "Eh, what can I say? We could use some comedy relief in some way, shape or form. Besides, if this battle ends up going down the way I think it will, I think we could say that we went out looney… sounds like something Bugs would've said, eh?"

Grim just rolled his eyes in annoyance as he closed the viary and said, "Listen, Mao Mao, I hope you know what you are doing with this superteam. Otherwise, the future of the Animation Multiverse will be all for naught, mon…"

Taking note of the reaper's dour mood, which was even more dour than usual, Mao Mao walked up and hooked up the viary to the bigger computer that was in the secret hideout, which gave a better, crisper look at the heroes needed for this adventure as he said, "Don't worry, Grim, old buddy… if everything works out like it should for this adventure, then the Animation Multiverse is going to be in good hands!"


KidsWBYungsta Proudly Presents:
KidsWBYungsta's Battle for the Animation Multiverse


KidsWBYungsta Presents KidsWBYungsta's Battle for the Animation Multiverse — Chapter 1: The Toons Are Captured!

Present Day: Aku's Mysterious Lair: Home of the League of Extraordinary Villains — ACME Space Station, The Reaches of Outer Space, Animation Multiverse

While the mysterious black cat had infiltrated this mysterious lair in the hopes of finding the Grim Reaper, the villains in this expansive location were all gathered in the mysterious building, looking at the various robot doubles with such pleasure as the deadly virus from earlier said, "Man, what can I say? That robot doppelganger looks like the splitting image of Jones himself. What I would give to see the look on his face when he comes face-to-face with this character in the present."

"Oh, come now, Thrax, you know this robot will be able to overpower that loudmouth white blood cell," the golden woman said as she put the finishing touches on a robot that looked similar to Sailor Moon. "Just like how this robot will be able to outsmart that dreaded Sailor Moon."

While the deadly virus and golden woman shared a laugh about finally overtaking their enemies in their present-day forms like they had supposedly completed in the future, the Trix were busy looking over the robot counterparts of the Winx, who were amazingly lifelike and comparable to their actual counterparts, but proved to be more agile and reflexive compared to the actual Winx. The oldest of the three sisters, Icy, was left in awe as she said, "Whoa, I can't believe they managed to pull off their likenesses so well."

While most of the villains were impressed by the designs and powers of these robot duplicates, Stormy slinked away and noticed some robot duplicates constructed for Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ami Onuki, Yumi Yoshimura, and Ed, Edd and Eddy. Although she assumed that the six characters would be nothing more than worthless comic relief, she felt that it would be easier to terminate them in the present as well, to avoid having any real challenges to stop their eventual takeover of the Animation Multiverse, so she proceeded to work out some design kinks, then she snuck them into the army of robot duplicates that were set to be "delivered" to their respective counterparts.

Just as Stormy managed to sneak her way back to where the other villains were without her sisters noticing that she snuck off, the leader of the group, the feared and revered Aku, walked up to the machine that would transport the robots to the present-day Animation Multiverse and said while giving off his signature laugh, "Well, let's hope that these robot doubles are able to complete their mission and destroy their accursed living, breathing counterparts, so we won't have to do the heavy lifting this time. I think it's about time to see how that accursed Samurai Jack would fare against a mechanical being that would match his own endurance!"

While the villains proceeded to train the robotic duplicates in order to prepare them for their impending encounter with their original counterparts, Aku started the machine that transported the robots into various cartoon universes, with the first one going to Looney Tune Land where it would find their first target: a certain long-eared grey rabbit who was the de facto leader of the Looney Tunes characters.


Present Day: Central Park — Looney Tune Land, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

While the robot traveled through the dimensional portal to meet up with its intended target, the intended target in question, Bugs Bunny, was engaged in yet another battle of wits with one of his longtime rivals and colleague in the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, Elmer J. Fudd. While he and Elmer had been busy filming the latest Space Jam movie, they had found some time to engage in some classic battles that not only harkened back to their heyday in the original Looney Tunes shorts, but also helped with them coming up with new concepts for the current Looney Tunes Cartoons content initiative.

While Bugs was running from Elmer's barrage of new weapons, he eventually took notice of the audience as he slid to a stop and said, "Eh, what's up, docs and doctresses? I'll, eh, be with you in a second, folks, after I finish with ol' Nature Boy here."

Suddenly, Bugs felt the presence of a long, curved blade near his head as he looked over Elmer Fudd, who was giving a menacing smile as he laughed and said, "Alwight, you pesky wabbit, I've finawwy got you where I want you!"

Bugs could only roll his eyes at the scene of Elmer trying to come off as even more threatening than he usually would be, so he pulled out a carrot and said, "Eh, what's up, doc?"

"What's up? I bewieve your wife is at stake, that's what's up," Elmer said as he moved the scythe closer to Bugs' head.

"My 'wife', you say?" Bugs said in an incredulous tone of voice. "Elmer, you know that I'm not married, right?"

Elmer looked incredulously at Bugs after he gave his response, then he fumed in annoyance as he said, "I didn't say your wife, I was talking about your life—your life will be at stake when I'm thwough with you, wabbit!"

"Ah, thank you for ruining the double entendre by resorting to explaining the joke, doc," Bugs said. "For shame, doc, hasn't your lifelong experience in cartoon comedy taught you anything?"

Elmer just stood there dumbfounded at how Bugs was questioning him on such a trivial manner as he looked up at the rabbit and said, "Well, see, I knew that, but—well, I was just twying to—I mean—"

While Elmer was trying to find a rational excuse, Bugs just walked away coolly while eating one of his carrots as if it was a banana as he said, "Good luck finding a clever comeback to that one, Lin-Manuel Miranda."

As Bugs laughed off Elmer's confusion, Elmer quickly realized that he fell for yet another one of Bugs' classic tricks as he gritted his teeth with such fierceness that some of them ended up crackling. Just as he pulled out his signature shotgun and decided to dispose of Bugs by "blasting him into smithereens" for his "wabbit stew", he stopped when he heard a loud zap from behind him. When he turned around to see a superpowered robot, he was left dumbfounded for a moment, then he gave a knowing laugh as he investigated the robot and said, "Well, Mr. Wobot, I can see that you may wook wike the wabbit, but you might serve as a worthy ally in my watest challenge against him. See, the way I figure it: if you and I team up to destwoy that wabbit, then maybe we could—"

However, before Elmer could finish his explanation, the robot ended up grabbing Elmer by his neck and said in a robotic voice, "Are you Bugs Bunny?"

"What? No, I'm Elmer J. Fudd! I'm a millionaire! I own a mansion and a yacht!" Elmer said, struggling in the robot's grip. "Now, put me down, you cwazy wobot! I'm not who you're wooking for!"

While Elmer was struggling to get anywhere with this random robot character, Bugs then came back on the scene to see what was going on with Elmer and why he decided to stop their current chase. Before he could ask Elmer any sort of question, he decided to switch gears and investigate this mysterious robot being, looking around for a bit as he said in a sotto aside, "Well, aside from the red eyes and the disturbing lack of a soul, I can tell that this robot is actually looking for me."

Upon completing this investigation, Bugs decided to give the mysterious robot a piece of his mind as he knocked on its head and said, "Hey, listen, buster, if you've come around lookin' for trouble, let's just say you've found it right here!"

Without even turning around to see eye-to-eye with Bugs himself, the robot could tell that Bugs had arrived just by the sound of his voice, so he threw Elmer away to the side in order to focus his efforts on completing his mission. As he did a clerical analysis on Bugs himself, the robot started going off as he found a clear match of the character he was looking for.

However, Bugs was unfazed by the wackiness of the robot as he rolled up his sleeve and said, "Listen, buster, I've got a full mind to break you apart one by one!"

Before Bugs could get into a fighting stance to battle this robot from galaxies away, the robot switched out his regular gloves for boxing gloves as he moved closer to Bugs and threw a punch, but Bugs managed to dodge out the punch right on time. Annoyed by this, the robo-Bugs proceeded to throw rabbit punches with the hopes of getting a clear shot in, but the real Bugs was just too fast for him as he managed to dodge every punch.

Bugs could only look at his robot doppelganger with a temporary look of shock, then gave a look of annoyance as he said, "Listen, mac, I don't know what your beef is, but I can tell you that whatever you are looking for, you won't find it around here!"

As Bugs turned away from the mysterious robot and began to walk away, the robot quickly caught up to him and grabbed him by his neck, saying in a threatening tone, "You don't understand, Bugs Bunny. I have been sent here to destroy you."

Bugs was taken aback by the robot's choice of words as he said, "Destroy me? Wait a minute, who the heck sent you down here to destroy me?"

The robot proceeded to produce a devious grin on his face as he said, "Does the name 'Mr. Swackhammer' ring any bells to you, bucko?"

"Swackhammer? Just what does that alien maroon have to do with—" Bugs said in a tone of light shock, then he just palmed his face as he said, "Oh, brother…"

Suddenly, the robot managed to grab Bugs by his neck when he was least expecting it, getting ready to crush the rabbit and bring him up to the villains as a worthy trophy. Of course, if there was one thing about Bugs, he was not going to go down without a fight… or at least without performing some of his signature cartoon trickery.

Soon, Bugs managed to get out of the robot's clutches and engage with it in a battle of wits in a manner akin to his classic cartoon exploits, though the robot proved to an even bigger challenge than Taz, Witch Hazel or even the Monstars combined. However, Bugs managed to tire the robot out and lead him to a trap of his own, where he would meet his end with a classic ACME-brand anvil that was being held by a tight rope.

While the robot was looking around the woods to find Bugs, the rabbit himself was hiding behind a tree with a pair of scissors, ready to cut the rope as he turned to the audience and said, "What can I say? It's always the suspense that gets me."

Once Bugs cut the rope, the ACME anvil slammed onto the robot, destroying him for good and ultimately preventing him from causing any further harm to any of the other Looney Tunes characters. As Bugs walked up to the anvil to investigate the damage, he coolly took a bite from his carrot and said to the audience, "Y'know, one day, one of these smart apples is actually going to invent a machine that could actually outsmart a rabbit."

However, just as Bugs was about to go on his merry way, he noticed that a portal mysteriously appeared up in the sky, so he proceeded to get into a battle stance as he thought that Swackhammer had sent another robot to challenge him for his freedom. However, once it became clear that the individual was not a robot, but another hero, he was surprised to see that it was a 16-year old male who had shaggy brown hair, a white hoodie with green stripes and a green number 10 on the right arm, brown cargo pants, and green and white sneakers. The 16-year-old eventually became aware of his surroundings as he dusted himself off and said, "Man, I never would've thought that the Omnitrix could glitch out like that, but—wait a minute! Where am I? What is this place?"

Just as the teenage male looked around the place, Bugs had disappeared for the time being, believing that the element of surprise would've been more appropriate for this new visitor to Looney Tune Land. All while Bugs prepared for the surprise, the teenage male tried to figure out where he was, while keeping a lookout for any suspicious activity that could've involved Vilgax. However, he suddenly found himself walking up to a "Duck Season" sign, giving a look of confusion as he raised an eyebrow and said, "Rabbit Season?"

Suddenly, just as he said "Rabbit Season", he overheard an ominous rumble from afar, which seemed to be coming from a moving dirt trail that was making its way towards the teenage male. The teenager had no clue why the trail was coming towards him, but he pulled out his green watch, the aforementioned Omnitrix, and looked for the right alien that could handle whatever was coming its way as he said, "Alright, I have no idea where you came from, but let's see if you can handle the power of—"

However, he was interrupted when it turned out that the moving dirt trail was none other than just Bugs Bunny making a grand entrance, popping out with a smile as he said, "What's up, doc?"

The teenage hero quickly stopped in his tracks when he saw Bugs popped out of his dirt trail, giving a confused, yet surprised look when he saw the Looney Tunes star and said, "Wait a minute, Bugs Bunny?"

"Eh, you were expecting, maybe, the Easter Bunny, doc?" Bugs said, raising an eyebrow. "I was halfway expecting another robo-maroon to be showing up around these parts, not another hero or anything like that."

"You don't say?" The teenage hero said, rubbing his chin. "You mean to tell me that there was suspicious activity around here?"

"I just had to dispose of a robot that was trying to destroy Elmer Fudd," Bugs explained, taking a bite from a carrot. "Apparently, that robot was sent by that Swackhammer maroon, but I had no idea how Swackhammer could've been able to construct a mechanical being like that… unless he happened to get in touch with some alien technology…"

The comment about "alien technology" seemed to pique the hero's interest as he turned to Bugs and said, "Wait a minute, Bugs, did you just say alien technology? Hmm… something tells me that this Swackhammer character might've gotten into contact with Vilgax and Aku."

Bugs was left confused by the hero's declaration as he raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, hold up there, doc… let me get this straight here… Vilgax… Aku… how do you know about this stuff anyway?"

"Well, for one, Vilgax is my arch-nemesis, and I wouldn't put it past him to do something like that," the teenage hero explained. "Besides, he and Aku had done something like this before, teaming up with Mojo Jojo and Mandark to take over the world with a bunch of robot doubles, but we were able to stop them at the nick of time."

"Interesting," Bugs said, rubbing his chin in intrigue, then he took notice of the Omnitrix as he added, "So, when you say 'we', are you referring to whoever else was involved on this adventure or are you talking about… that little device you got on your wrist there?"

The teenage hero realized that Bugs was talking about the Omnitrix, taking a quick look at the green watch until he said, "Well, actually, I did have some help from my Omnitrix here, but I also worked alongside other heroes in the Multiverse: Dexter, Samurai Jack, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and three other ones… let me see, I believe their names were Ed, Edd and Eddy, I presume?"

The names of the other heroes the teenage hero mentioned seemed to ring a bell in Bugs' ears as he said, "Huh, those names sound surprisingly familiar… hey, wait a minute, it's all coming together now! Aren't you that alien shapeshifting superteen, Ben Tennyson?"

Ben was surprised that Bugs picked up on those key details quicker than he had expected, saying, "Well, yeah… but…" then he turned away from Bugs as he said to himself, "Whoa, this is crazy… Bugs Bunny knows who I am?"

Bugs then popped up over his shoulder as he said, "Of course, I do, doc! I may live in a hole in the ground, but I keep up with most of the Toons around the world. Anyway, I couldn't help but pick up on you talking about a Multiverse because…"

Suddenly, Bugs stopped in his tracks as Ben raised an eyebrow and said, "What? What is it, Bugs?"

"Eh… I think it would be best if I told you about it later, doc," Bugs said, thinking about the multiple universes he became aware of throughout his own adventures.

However, just as they were making their way through Looney Tune Land, a mysterious beam of light appeared underneath them as Bugs said in an annoyed tone, "Oh, brother, not again!"

Ben could only look at Bugs and say, "Say, Bugs, do you know where this thing is going to take us?"

"Eh, beats me, doc," Bugs said, shrugging his shoulders before he addressed the audience in a sotto aside, "All I can say is… hold on to your seats, folks, because here we go again!"


Present Day: Alfea College The Realm of Magix, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

While Bugs and Ben found themselves being beamed to a mysterious area after taking care of the Bugs robot in Looney Tune Land, things were relatively normal at Alfea College in the Realm of Magix, the home of the famed Winx Club girls. However, two of the Winx girls, one of whom was a redhead who served as the leader of the Winx and the other was a brunette whose powers were connected to nature, were busy surveying the halls of their old stomping grounds.

Just as they were going to make their way back to their friends, the girls were stopped by an ominous visitor that happened to find its way into Alfea, causing the two girls to stop in their tracks when they heard a mechanical voice say, "Stop right where you are, you two. You both are just what our masters needed."

The redhead, Bloom, raised an eyebrow in confusion as she said, "'Masters'? Just what 'masters' are you talking about?"

However, the brunette, Flora, was moreso perplexed by the robot's sudden appearance as she questioned, "I think the most-important question is: just where did you come from?"

"My original whereabouts should not be of any concern to you," the robot said in a threatening tone. "Either you two are coming with me peacefully or I shall be forced to use force."

Bloom and Flora exchanged glances with each other, then they decided to switch into their Winx forms as they proceeded to do battle with the mysterious robot, but they were surprised when they noticed how much endurance the robot had, literally knowing their every move and being one step ahead of the fairies. The two Winx fairies were trying their best to keep up with the robot, but the robot was too skilled for their own good.

"Sheesh, Flo, this robot is more of a challenge than I would've expected," Bloom said, giving a knowing, determined look as she did a mental analysis of any of the robot's weak spots. "Hey, Flora, do you think that the robot has any weak spots you could think of?"

Flora also did a mental analysis of the robot in question, but she was interrupted when she felt a laser blast fly past her head, turning to see that it was another robot… one who happened to bear her likeness, but giving off a much more devious aura. This seemed to surprise the Fairy of Nature as she leaned towards Bloom and said, "Uh… Bloom, are you seeing this right now? That robot looks exactly like me!"

"What? That's crazy, Flora," Bloom said in a reassuring tone. "How could you think that—"

However, Bloom was interrupted when the first robot rushed up to her and gave a knowing look to the Fairy of the Dragon's Flame, saying, "Oh, I wouldn't write your little friend off so quickly, Bloom… after all, when it comes to us robots, I guess you could say that there's 'more than meets the eye'."

Just as the robot was saying this, it revealed its overall appearance as being an evil version of Bloom, striking fear into the heart of the Fairy of the Dragon's Flame, as she said sheepishly, "Well, I guess I shouldn't have underestimated you there, Flora."

"Gee, ya think?" Flora said in a slightly-annoyed tone, then she added, "Listen, let's not worry about that right now. Right now, we need to focus on how we're going to get rid of these robots!"

Just before Bloom could give her two cents on a possible game plan, she was interrupted by someone punching out her evil robot doppelganger, which surprised her as she said, "Wow, Flora, I never knew you liked getting your hands dirty in combat!"

Flora was confused by Bloom's remark, giving a confused look to her friend as she said, "Uh, Bloom… that wasn't me…"

"Oh?" Bloom said, raising an eyebrow in confusion before adding, "Well, who was it then?"

Soon, Bloom found her answer when she saw another teenage girl knock out the robo-Flora, causing her to crash into the robo-Bloom, thereby deprogramming them and stopping them from getting anywhere near the real Bloom and Flora. This teenage girl was of Asian descent and had flowing black hair with a red streak, a short-sleeved green T-shirt with red highlights and a red dragonfly in the middle, a pair of dark blue denim jeans, a pair of brown shoes with black soles, and a brown wristband with a large purple crystal on her left wrist.

"Whoa, I never thought that portal would take me to another universe after dealing with that robot, but I guess that—wait a minute, this isn't Orchid Bay!" The teenage girl said, taking a look at her surroundings. "Where am I? This place just looks so… magical…"

As the teenage girl tried to figure out her surroundings, Bloom and Flora walked up to her as the latter said, "You're in Alfea College, part of the Realm of Magix."

The girl turned to look at the two Winx fairies and raised an eyebrow as she asked, "'Magix'? Huh… that's interesting… I guess that explains all of the magical fairies and spells and whatnot."

"Um, excuse me?" Flora said as she walked up to the teenage girl, then she added, "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"

"Oh, well, my name is Juniper Lee, the Te Xuan Ze of Orchid Bay," the girl said, shaking hands with both Bloom and Flora.

"Nice to meet you, June," Flora said with a smile. "My name is Flora and this is Bloom, and we are… well, two parts of the Winx Club."

"Winx Club? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Juniper said, rubbing her chin.

Just as she was pondering this, however, her thoughts were interrupted by a mysterious beam of light appearing underneath the three girls, preparing to send them into a mysterious world where their skills would be used for a grander plot… as well as an unexpected reunion with a certain trio of witches for Bloom and Flora.


Present Day: Aku's Mysterious Lair: Home of the League of Extraordinary Villains — ACME Space Station, The Reaches of Outer Space, Animation Multiverse

With three of the many heroes captured, the villains were left in complete surprise that things were going so well, so easily. Although Icy was left confused by how none of the heroes ended up in their possession just yet, she was nonetheless pleased with how their eventual takeover would be such a well-deserved reward after years of her and her sisters having to deal with endless humiliation from the Winx.

Swackhammer was especially pleased at how he would finally get the one chance at destroying Bugs Bunny once he catches sight of that rascally rabbit in this future time, reeling with catharsis at the thought of getting his long-awaited revenge on the leader of the Looney Tunes.

Meanwhile, the other villains had already sent out robots to do battle with such heroes as Juniper Lee, Virgil Hawkins and Osmosis Jones, which ended with the same result as Bugs, Bloom and Flora. Aku could only laugh with sheer joy as he said, "Excellent! Now that we've gotten some of the easier heroes out of the way, we can finally capture some of the more advanced heroes! Queen Vexus, who do you think we should use to capture this, eh—what do you usually call that robot girl from your universe?"

"Oh, you mean that blasted XJ9? Ooh, I've been wanting to do this for so long!" Queen Vexus said as she looked through the minion selection, then she turned to Swackhammer and said, "Say, Swackhammer, what Looney Tunes villain do you know would be a formidable foe for XJ9?"

Swackhammer walked up to where Queen Vexus and Aku were standing, then he looked at the various characters and said, "Well, it might be my personal bias coming into play, but let's how she fares against a group of Instant Martians."

"Instant Martians? Swackhammer, you really think a group of Instant Martians would be good enough for XJ9?" Aku asked in a surprised tone.

"Hey, if they managed to give Bugs Bunny a good scare, I'm sure that robot girl would feel no different," Swackhammer said with a smirk as he lit up another cigar and nudged Queen Vexus, adding, "Go on, Queen Vexus, go ahead and try them out."

"Well, okay, Swackhammer, if you say so," Queen Vexus said as she proceeded to send the Instant Martians to Tremorton.


Present Day: Jenny Wakeman's House — Tremorton, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

While the Instant Martians were being sent to Tremorton on Queen Vexus' request, a teenage African-American male had made his way to Tremorton on his own mission to search for any suspicious activity throughout the Multiverse. This newcomer was not just a regular teenager, however, but was also the resident hero of Dakota: a hero that had an array of static-based powers that served to be beneficial to his battles against various villains while also dealing with struggles that not only affected teens, but also related to struggles in inner-city life. Of course, the static motifs seemed to come in handy when your name is Virgil Hawkins… or, better known as his superhero moniker, 'Static'.

Upon getting word of the rogue robots that had made their way into Looney Tune Land, the Realm of Magix, Bellwood, Orchid Bay and Echo Creek, Static decided to spur into action and do some investigation on what was going on. Beforehand, though, Static had to battle an evil robot counterpart of himself, which involved him utilizing some of his signature electric powers to destroy the robot. Just as he was going to make his way through the Multiverse, a mysterious portal appeared out of the blue and found himself sucked inside, which led to him showing up in Tremorton.

Despite that, Static had been able to arrive unscathed, hoping to continue the search of any suspicious activity that related to the robots that popped out in Dakota or any of the other universes. As he had flown over Tremorton, he said to himself, "Hmm… no suspicious activity here… maybe the whole robot thing was just an isolated incident."

Just as Static was looking for any strange robot activity in Tremorton, the teenage robot was busy talking on a cellphone to her friend, Brad Carbunkle, about what happened at school earlier today. Just as she was getting deep into the conversation, she heard a loud "BOOM!" from outside the house, which she usually would've brushed off as just a normal occurrence. However, she felt as though this was one of her enemies trying to get her attention, so she quickly got off the phone and started to investigate.

Once she flew outside to see the source of the explosion, she saw that it was actually a group of Instant Martians, causing her to raise an eyebrow and quip, "Instant Martians? What? Now, I have to deal with Marvin the Martian as a potential nemesis?"

The King of the Instant Martians walked up to the teenage robot and said, "Are you Jennifer Wakeman a.k.a. XJ-9?"

The teenage robot, who goes by the name of 'Jenny', just raised an eyebrow and asked, "Uh, yeah, who's asking? The ACME Instant Martian Committee?"

"Listen, let's cut the small talk, sister," The King of the Instant Martians said in an annoyed tone as he pulled out the Disintegrating Gun and pointed it at Jenny. "Are you going to come in peace or do we have to disintegrate you?"

"'Disintegrate'? What is this, an episode of Duck Dodgers?" Jenny said as she found herself dodging the blasts from the King of the Instant Martians.

One of the Instant Martians looked at Jenny in awe at her catlike prowess as he proceeded to walk up to the King of the Instant Martians and asked, "Great Sire, should we go ahead and come at the robot in full force to bring her to our leaders?"

The King of the Instant Martians balked at his request, but he felt that he had no other option as he said, "Well, I guess I have no other choice. Feel free if you want to, men, but I have a feeling this robot is going to be a lot tougher than I—"

"Alright, whatever you say," the Instant Martian said as he turned to his fellow Instant Martians and added, "C'mon, boys! Let's get this robot!"

The Instant Martians proceeded to rush at Jenny altogether as the teenage robot quickly turned one of her arms into a hammer as she said, "Well, I guess there's no better course of action but to 'batter up'!"

One-by-one, Jenny managed to knock out each of the Instant Martians, leaving them to fly away to who-knows-where as she proceeded to wipe the floor with them. Once she cleared out the Instant Martians, Jenny turned her arms back to normal as she was left in confusion, saying to herself, "That's strange. Who would randomly sprout a group of Instant Martians here in Tremorton? Maybe I should go to Mom and see if she knows what's going on."

Just as Jenny was about to walk into her house, however, there was one rogue robot that happened to come in with the Instant Martians and it was about to blast Jenny to smithereens, but, unbeknownst to Jenny or the rogue robot, a blast of static electricity came in and stopped the robot from bringing any harm to Jenny. However, the robot girl turned to see what the commotion was and saw that there was actually a robot that happened to be beamed into Tremorton with the group of Instant Martians. However, the robot was destroyed before it could even do battle with her.

"That was mega-weird," Jenny said in a slightly-surprised tone, then she added, "I wonder who came in and destroyed that robot."

Just as she made that statement, her question was summarily answered by Static flying in on his Static Saucer, who came and playfully noted, "Seems to me like you need a surveillance system around you at all times, huh?"

Jenny was surprised to see that Static had made his way into Tremorton as she walked up to him and said, "Whoa… Static, is that you?"

Static was surprised to see Jenny again as he said, "Wait, Jenny? Man, I didn't think I would be seeing you here! I didn't think I'd be seeing any more robots around here."

Jenny could only giggle in response as she said, "Nah, I already had to deal with some nuisances in the form of some Instant Martians. Hard to say where they came from, though… Anyway, what brings you here to Tremorton?"

"Well, based on that rogue robot I had blasted, checking to see if there were any more of those robot goons flocking around the Multiverse," Static explained. "I just had to dispose of one back in Dakota, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and check the other worlds for any suspicious activity… of course, that portal that popped out of nowhere did help with my travel somewhat."

"'Rogue robots'?" Jenny said, rubbing her robotic chin as she thought about any possible sources of the rogue robots, then the only possible suspect she could think of came into mind as she said, "Wait, don't tell me that Vexus came back into power on Cluster Prime!"

"Vexus? I don't think so," Static said, then he added, "But I wouldn't put it past her to team up with some other villains to set up some sort of multiversal takeover and trying to use those robot minions or whatever other goons they could think of to dispose of us."

Upon thinking of the random appearance of the Instant Martians, most of whom would usually be associated with Marvin the Martian, Jenny felt that Static's theory was plausible enough, seeing as how Vexus would find any way to have any sort of dominance among robots to turn them against the humans, but just before she could voice her thoughts to Static, a random portal appeared underneath them as Jenny said, "Uh, Static? Is this the portal you were talking about earlier?"

Static looked below himself and saw that the portal was about to send him and Jenny into wherever it was going, then he looked at Jenny and said, "That's the portal, but I don't know where it's going to take us!"

Just as Static and Jenny were sucked through the portal, Jenny did quip to Static, "Well, wherever it is, let's hope this ride through the portal isn't going to be as bad as Michael Jordan's was to Looney Tune Land!"


Present Day: The Freemans' House — Woodcrest, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

Shifting the focus to an affluent, tree-lined neighborhood, two African-American boys were watching TV with their grandfather inside a two-story house, watching a news story about some mysterious disappearances of various heroes in the Animation Multiverse. The oldest of the two boys had sported an afro, indicative of his 'Power to the People' nature akin to the Black Panther movement, and wore a short-sleeved beige button-up shirt with a white T-shirt underneath, blue jeans and black shoes, while his younger brother sported braids and wore a short-sleeved white shirt, black pants and white Reebok sneakers.

While the oldest of the two was trying to figure out the root cause of these recent disappearances, the younger brother just brushed it off by saying, "Man, I highly doubt those disappearances are even that serious. They probably got called to take part in some intergalactic basketball tournament or something."

The older brother looked at his younger brother, raising an eyebrow as he said, "Riley, have you been binge-watching Space Jam again?"

"C'mon, Huey, I'm being serious here!" Riley said to his older brother in a defensive tone. "Besides, it just seems so random that these guys are disappearing right out of the blue."

The boys' grandfather, who was busy balancing watching the news story and listening in on his grandsons' conversation, turned to look at Huey and Riley, saying, "I don't think this is for any basketball game, boy. I think some sinister forces are afoot."

"Huh?" Huey and Riley both said in confusion.

"Listen, I know this might sound crazy, but remember when Huey was talking about the impending end of the world?" Granddad said. "Now, take into consideration the brouhaha they were raising over the year 2012. I'm thinking that something serious is about to go down in the Multiverse."

"Granddad, you don't think that…" Huey said, trailing off at the last part of his sentence as Granddad nodded his head.

"Trust me, Huey, your granddaddy has seen some crazy things in his time," Granddad said as Riley interjected, "Yeah, because you took part in some of those things."

Granddad could only glare at his younger grandson as he said, "Shut yo' ass, boy!"

Suddenly, the Freemans heard a loud boom from outside, causing Huey to look up and ask, "What was that?"

"Probably Uncle Ruckus banging on our door again," Riley quipped.

"No, boy, there's no way in hell that could've been Ruckus banging at our door," Granddad said as he got up from his chair. "Probably one of those robot whatchamacallits."

Before Granddad could go up and answer the door, he was instantly stopped by Huey and Riley, the former saying, "Wait a minute, Granddad! I think it would be best if Riley and I get this one."

"Yeah, we can't risk you getting yourself killed by some butter-brained machine," Riley said as he and Huey rushed up to the door.

Once Huey and Riley answered the door, they saw one of Vilgax's robots standing at the door, sporting a menacing look on his face. The robot proceeded to pull out its weapons as it said in a menacing tone, "Well, well, well, two heroes for the price of one!"

Huey and Riley looked surprised for a moment, then they turned to each other and exchanged knowing glances as they walked outside, shutting the door behind them, and proceeded to do battle with the robot.

When the robot decided to charge at Huey first, the older Freeman brother managed to get out of harm's way with the quickness as Riley jumped up, ready to kick the robot's head in. However, the robot quickly grabbed Riley's leg and threw him away, but Riley managed to get back on his feet with ease. Once Riley looked up at the robot, he noticed that the robot and Huey were matching their best moves against each other.

While engaged in their intense battle, the robot was amazed by Huey's kung fu-like endurance, thinking to itself, "Man, this kid's more skilled than I thought!"

While the robot was distracted, Riley proceeded to rush up and sidesweep the robot with a kung-fu move of his own, causing the robot to slam to the ground. Looking up, he noticed that Riley was standing afar, looking innocent and cool-like, but he knew that it was the younger Freeman who pulled off the trick move.

Just as the robot was charging at Riley, Huey pulled out his electric glove that would serve the finishing blow to the robot. Once the robot caught up with Riley, it was surprised to see that Riley jumped up from his grasp and caught him in a chokehold from behind, calling out to his brother, "Yo, Huey, do yo' stuff!"

"With pleasure!" Huey said as he charged at the robot and punched it with the electric glove, electrocuting the robot and shutting down its power.

Unbeknownst to Huey and Riley, Huey's finishing blow ended up starting the robot's self-destruct system, which allowed the two brothers to run away from the robot as it blew up. Once they walked up to investigate the debris, Riley looked at his brother and asked, "Huey, where do you think this robot came from?"

As Huey investigated the debris, he noticed a label on the robot that had the name of "Vilgax", then he looked up at Riley and said, "Looks like this robot came from somebody by the name of 'Vilgax'."

"'Vilgax'? You talkin' about that weird squid dude that used to battle—Hey!" Riley began to say, then he was interrupted when he noticed that he and Huey were caught in a mysterious beam of light.


Present Day: Aku's Mysterious Lair: Home of the League of Extraordinary Villains — ACME Space Station, The Reaches of Outer Space, Animation Multiverse

The villains were left stunned by how fast the robots (or Instant Martians, in Jenny's case) were being defeated by the heroes, but they were smiling in confidence as they knew they found the right heroes that would prove to be a formidable challenge for their inevitable showdown. Aku could only question how some of the heroes ended up in other universes where the robots had appeared in, but was still pleased nonetheless as it meant that they would get more heroes even quicker than usual.

Aku looked back on the footage where Ben had apparently defeated his evil robot doppelganger before he had found himself in Looney Tune Land, surprising him for a moment as he looked over at Vilgax and said, "Well, Vilgax, I see what you mean when you said that Tennyson was smarter than he looks."

"See? What did I tell you?" Vilgax said as he walked up to where Aku was watching the different screens. "How did it go with your enemy, Samurai Jack?"

Aku gave an annoyed stare at Vilgax for a moment, then he got back to his old self as he said, "Same as it ever was."

"Oh, come now, Aku, don't start getting so melodramatic," Vilgax said in a reassuring tone. "Besides, for all we know, that samurai is probably being transported into our secret hideout, so that he and our other enemies won't get in our way when we prepare for our ultimate multiversal takeover!"

Aku proceeded to give a pleased grin in response as he said, "Yeeeesssss… maybe once we get what we need from those blasted heroes, our robot takeover could go on without a hitch in sight!"

Just as Aku was thinking of the endless possibilities that could come from a takeover without having to deal with Samurai Jack at every waking moment, he was interrupted by Thrax calling him from afar, saying, "Yo, Aku! I see that these heroes have vanished, but they haven't gotten here yet. I thought you were going to bring them up here, so we could use their power to take over the Multiverse!"

"Ah, Thrax, that's what I tried the last time Vilgax and I had a villainous superteam," Aku said. "I think it would be best if we utilized the element of surprise this time."

Thrax looked at the master shapeshifter for a moment, then he sighed as he rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever you say, man; as long as I finally get my revenge on Jones, I'm straight."

"Don't fret over it, Thrax, you'll get your chance to destroy that Osmosis Jones character," Aku said in a reassuring tone. "We're just waiting for the right moment to capture the heroes."

While Aku was pondering the various hypothetical scenarios about what could happen once they finally found the right moment to destroy their enemies, he was snapped out of his stupor by Icy's voice saying, "Wait a minute, why are there robots searching for Puffy AmiYumi, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Ed, Edd and Eddy throughout the Multiverse?"

"Huh?" Aku said as he walked up to where the Trix were looking. "What are you talking about, Icy? I don't remember sending any robots out to search for those characters."

"Well, who did?" Darcy asked in confusion, then she, Icy and Aku turned to see Stormy slinking back away from them while whistling sheepishly, causing her to sigh heatedly in response.

Aku just glared at Stormy, who could only give a sheepish smile in response as the shapeshifting master of darkness said, "Stormy… just what kind of trick do you have up your sleeve with this one?"


Present Day: Puffy AmiYumi's Tour Bus at ACME Stadium — ACME Stadium, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

Inside a colorful tour bus that was stopped near the Acme Stadium, two rock stars were preparing for their big concert later that evening, which would serve as the lead-in to another hip-hop concert that would happen afterwards. One of the girls was busy tuning up her red electric guitar while the second girl was practicing on the drums. The first girl had short purple hair that partially covered her right eye, while her right eye had mascara painted underneath, and she wore a short-sleeeved lavender shirt that had a skull in the middle, a black skirt, a pair of black boots with purple soles, and a black collar with spikes around her neck and wristbands on both of her arms. The second girl had long, pink hair with two buns on top, dark pink eyes with some eyeshadow, and wore a yellow-orange tank top, a white belt, a yellow-pink skirt, a pair of white go-go boots, and an orange-beaded wristband around her left wrist.

While the purple-haired girl was more blasé about the impending concert that was ahead of them, the pink-haired girl was in a more excited mood about the concert in question, saying, "Oh, Yumi, can you believe it? We're actually going to be leading into a all-star hip-hop concert featuring the best of the best."

"Aiya, I don't know what the big deal is, Ami," Yumi said in a slightly-annoyed tone. "We've headlined many other concerts before that featured other major names, so I don't know what's so different about this one. Did they even think of calling any real legends for this one?"

Ami responded by pulling out the poster for the hip-hop concert in question, which boasted appearances and performances from a wide variety of artists, ranging from the past and the present to the United States and the Motherland. Yumi could only roll her eyes as she said, "Well, I can see why the lineup would warrant excitement, but why are you so happy about it? It's not like we'll be able to stick around and see what's going on. You know how Kaz is about us continuing our tour around the world."

"I know, Yumi, but I'm just hoping that he'll make an exception this time," Ami said in a hopeful tone. "I really hope that I manage to get Snoop Dogg's autograph this time."

Before Yumi could respond to her friend with a snarky comeback, the two girls suddenly heard a knock at the door, causing the purple-haired girl to quip to her friend, "Well, Ami, I bet you that's ol' Snoop at the door right—"

Just as Yumi was saying this, she was interrupted by Ami rushing to the door of the tour bus right as she finished her sentence, "—door."

Once Ami answered the door, however, she was surprised to see that it wasn't Snoop, but a mysterious robot from who-knows-where that was at their tour bus. Ami was left confused about how to react as she said to herself, "I know that we ran into some aliens before, but a mysterious robot out of the blue?"

Yumi eventually caught up with Ami and saw the robot standing there, causing her to look at Ami and say, "Hey, Ami, are you sure that this isn't one of Kaz's crazy get-rich-quick schemes again?"

Unbeknownst to either Ami or Yumi, the robot was actually analyzing them to see if they were the heroes that its leaders needed for their big challenge. Although the robot felt that they would pose no threat to them on the same level as, say, Samurai Jack or Ben Tennyson, it felt that they would prove to be easy fodder for the villainous superteam, so it proceeded to get closer to the girls as it said in a mechanical voice, "Puffy AmiYumi, you two are coming with me to the dystopian future."

"Dystopian future? Who would want us in the dystopian future?" Ami asked in a concerned tone.

"More importantly, just where the heck did you come from, bub?" Yumi asked in an annoyed tone.

"Questions are of no importance to me right now," the robot said. "Now, are you two going to come quietly or do I have to mess you up some?"

Ami and Yumi exchanged knowing glances with each other, then Ami stood up with confidence as she and Yumi got into respective kung-fu stances and said, "I think you'll be surprised to learn that we're not as helpless as we look."

The robot could only laugh menacingly in response as it said, "Oh, really, two pampered rockstars daring to challenge me? What makes you two think that you could defeat me?"

Ami and Yumi winked at each other, then they proceeded to charge at the robot with their respective guitars as the robot only said in annoyance, "Me and my big, fat mouth…"

Soon, the robot and Puffy found themselves in an intense battle for their lives. Although the robot managed to hold his own against the two rockstars, Ami and Yumi surprisingly proved to be much more powerful than the robot had intended. After defeating the robot with ease, the two girls exchanged high-fives as they proceeded to prepare for the upcoming concert, but they found themselves being caught in a mysterious beam of light.

"Hey! What's going on here?" Yumi said in a confused tone.

"Wait, we defeated the robot! Where are we going now?" Ami said in a surprised tone.

"I don't know, but I can tell that things are going to get a lot stranger from here on out!" Yumi said as she and Ami were sucked through the mysterious beam of light.


Present Day: The Bagges' Farmhouse — Middle of Nowhere, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

Meanwhile, shifting focus to a house in the Middle of Nowhere, a pink dog was outside on the front porch, curled into a little ball and sleeping. However, he was awakened from his slumber when he saw a robot appear from out of nowhere. This robot was sporting a rather menacing look as it looked around, searching for its latest target until it locked onto the pink dog that was sleeping on the front porch.

"Perfect. Target Acquired," The robot said as he proceeded to walk up to where the pink dog was sleeping.

Once the robot started to walk up to the pink dog, the dog jumped up quickly and decided to warn his owners about the impending doom that was going to arrive on their doorstep. As he got inside, the dog came face-to-face with his owners: the first of whom was a kindly old woman with white hair and wore a light-green dress with a yellow apron on top, and black boots while the other was a cynical old man who wore a brown hair, green overalls with a beige button-up shirt underneath, black shoes and white glasses.

As soon as the pink dog entered the house, he started frantically speaking to his owners about what he saw outside, much to the confusion of his owners. The old man was annoyed by the dog popping up with another story as he said, "What is it this time, stupid dog?"

The dog proceeded to turn into the robot he saw earlier and mimicked how he was walking up to the house, then he turned back to normal as he warned them, "Don't answer the door!"

While the old man just brushed off the dog's explanation, the old woman seemed to understand what the dog was talking about as she said, "Hmmm, this does seem mighty strange, Courage. I didn't think we would deal with something like this again."

"What's—heh? You really believe that story about the robot, Muriel?" The old man said in an incredulous tone. "It's probably nothing. He's probably just seeing things again."

"It may be, Eustace, but Courage always seems to know when evil is lurking around here," Muriel said. "Besides, we have to be alert."

Suddenly, they were interrupted by a knock on the door as Eustace got up from his chair and muttered for a bit, then he opened the door and saw an alleged dog-sitter standing at the door. Eustace just looked at the dog-sitter up-and-down for a moment, then asked, "What's yer offer?"

"Pardon me, sir, but I couldn't help but notice that you and your wife own a cute, little pink dog that deserves a—" the dog-sitter began to say before being interrupted by Eustace saying, "We don't want any!"

Eustace proceeded to slam the door on the alleged dog-sitter, then the latter shouted from outside, "I'm willing to offer a million dollars if you allow the dog to stay with me in my care!"

Suddenly, dollar signs appeared in Eustace's eyes as he looked down at Courage, who pleaded for him not to give him up to the so-called dog-sitter, then he picked him up and re-opened the door, saying, "Here's the stupid dog, now where's me money?"

Soon, the dog-sitter pulled out a suitcase filled with millions of dollars and Eustace quickly yanked it out of its hands, then he mockingly waved at Courage, saying, "Have fun with the nice dog-sitter, Courage!"

Courage then turned to the audience and said, "I didn't think he even knew my name like that."

Courage then turned his attention back to the dog-sitter, but he knew that it was actually the robot in disguise. He quickly jumped out of its clutches as he looked up and said, "Alright, you may have been able to fool the farmer, but you don't have either me or Muriel fooled! I know exactly who you are and I know what I saw!"

"Well, I guess you're not as stupid as your owner claims you are," the dog-sitter said in a menacing tone, then quickly switched to its robot form. "But, hey, since you're just a little cowardly dog, this one should be an easy victory."

Courage knew that this robot meant business as it proceeded to pull out its weapons to fire at the pink dog. Now, if this robot was battling Samurai Jack, Ben Tennyson or Juniper Lee, the direct approach would make a lot of sense, but Courage was not known for being the physical fighter type, so he had to rely on his Bugs Bunny-like wits to outsmart the robot.

When the robot fired off its first round of rockets, Courage's eyes bugged out in shock as he shrieked and moved out of harm's way before the rockets could get to him. Before Courage could even get himself to a safe spot where he could come up with a plan, the robot fired another round of rockets at him, so he moved behind the chicken coop where he wiped the sweat from his forehead as he tried to figure out how he was going to defeat this adversary. Soon, Courage looked up and saw that the robot was already down to its last round of rockets, and that was when he got an idea of how to defeat the robot.

The robot was then surprised to see that Courage was running in circles around it as it proceeded to fire its rockets at him, but Courage proved to be too fast for most of them. However, he decided to give the last rocket a run for its money as he led the rocket all around the farmyard until he managed to get the rocket to destroy the robot. After finally defeating the robot, Courage just sighed happily as he was about to go back inside until he found himself being caught in a mysterious beam of light.


Present Day: The Cul-de-Sac — Peach Creek, Dubba City, Animation Multiverse

Finally, the last of the robots found itself in the city of Peach Creek, the home of three neighborhood friends who haven't a clue among themselves and often battle the problems of adolescence. The first of the three boys was the self-proclaimed "leader" of the trio, who had three long hairs sticking out on his head and wore a yellow short-sleeved with a purple collar and a red stripe on the left, blue pants and red shoes; the second of the trio wore a black ski hat, an orange shirt, purple shorts, red socks and blue shoes; and the the last of the three was the tallest of the trio, who had a buzz cut and wore a green jacket, a red-and-white striped shirt, purple pants and black shoes.

The three boys were busy walking around the cul-de-sac, enjoying the summer sun while the short one of the trio was thinking of something that could drum up some excitement in the cul-de-sac, much to the annoyance of the normal-sized one, who said, "Eddy, would you please remind me why you are still thinking about starting a scam at a time like this?"

"C'mon, Double D, you know we have to come up with something that will net us some extra cash for some jawbreakers," Eddy said as his eyes turned into dollar signs. "Besides, things have been pretty quiet since all of that drama that went down at Bro's house, so what's the harm in trying to make things exciting in tthe Cul-de-Sac again?"

"Eddy, I just don't know," Double D said. "I mean, you'd think you would stop with stuff like this after the infamous scam that got us chased out of the cul-de-sac for a while."

"Ah, you don't have to worry about that ever happening again, Double D," Eddy said with a smirk. "Besides, I'm positive Ed will make sure that everything will go down without a hitch. Am I right, Ed? Ed? Ed, where did—Ed, what are you looking at?"

The two Eds stopped to see that Ed was looking at a giant robot that was standing on the sidewalk, looking at them menacingly. Instead of reacting as any normal person would when confronted by a giant robot, Ed could only react in the best Ed-way he knew how:

"Whoa, too cool! That looks like the robot from my Rebel Robot Ranch comic book!"

Double D and Eddy caught up with their friend and saw the giant robot in front of them, which incited mixed reactions between Double D and Eddy. Double D was shocked to see such a robot in the cul-de-sac, but Eddy felt that they had found their latest moneymaker, his eyes turning into dollar signs for good measure as he said, "Sweet cha-ching! Looks like we found our newest cash cow, boys: the biggest robot the likes of which the cul-de-sac has ever seen!"

As soon as Eddy walked up to the robot and knocked on its body, the robot activated and looked down to see the three Eds talking with each other. Taking note of how Eddy was bragging about finding a new cash cow, the robot said in a booming, threatening voice, "Who dares challenge the great Armagedroid?"

Eddy was interrupted from his speech by this adversary as he looked up and said, "Hey, is that how you're supposed to treat your new managers?"

"'Managers'?" Armagedroid said in a confused tone, then he got back to his threatening mode as he said, "Foolish mortals! You dare to try to disrespect me?"

"Wow, Eddy, this robot is so lifelike!" Ed said excitedly.

"You said it, monobrow," Eddy said with a smirk, then he rubbed his hands greedily as he said, "Just wait until the neighborhood kids get a load of this guy."

While Ed and Eddy were busy brushing off the robot's threats, Double D felt that the robot was serious about challenging them as he tried to get his friends out of harm's way, pulling on their sleeves as he said, "Um, gentlemen, I think it would be best to get out of harm's way and avoid provoking this robot any further."

"Oh, come on, sockhead! Don't you get it?" Eddy said as he pointed at Armagedroid. "This robot is going to be our golden ticket to endless jawbreakers, brother. I can't wait to see the look on Kevin's face when he—"

Suddenly, Eddy was interrupted by Armagedroid again, this time from a blast from one of his arms. The Eds were left speechless by Armagedroid shooting at them as the latter said, "So, who wants to be the first one to do battle with me?"

The Eds just stood there, motionless for a few minutes, then they took a look at the junkyard as an idea came to Eddy's head, who wrapped the other two Eds in a huddle and said, "Hey, guys, I think I know how to defeat that blowhard robot once and for all. Remember that time that Dynamo whatchamacallit came into our universe?"

"I still question why we always end up getting the life-threatening robots entering our world and how we get roped into fighting for our lives," Double D said with a tone of concern in his voice.

"Ah, you worry too much, Sockhead. Besides, this one's gonna be more of a cinch than we realize. Anyway, here's the plan," Eddy said as he proceeded to whisper the plan to Ed and Double D, both of whom were nodding their heads in approval. "Alright, everybody knows what to do, right?"

"As much as I'll ever do, Eddy," Double D said.

"Not just ready, but I'm ready Freddy, Eddy!" Ed said as he saluted his friend with a smile.

The Eds proceeded to run away from Armagedroid, who chased after them as the boys led him to the junkyard. Double D quickly got into a crane operator as Ed and Eddy proceeded to lead Armagedroid to a location where Double D could drop the crane with ease. Once Ed and Eddy got Armagedroid to the center of the crane's path, Double D proceeded to drop the crane onto Armagedroid, deactivating him with ease. As soon as Double D got out of the crane operator, Ed and Eddy were celebrating their victory while Double D was trying to figure out how this robot ended up in their universe.

"Strange… why would another robot like this end up in our universe right out of the blue?" Double D said, then the situation dawned on him as he turned to his friends and said, "Gentlemen, you don't think that Aku and his League of Extraordinary Villains are at it again, do you?"

"What? Aku? Please, Double D, I thought we were done with that guy after what happened last time," Eddy said.

"I wouldn't be so sure, Eddy," Double D said, rubbing his chin. "I just have the sinking feeling that Aku and Vilgax might be out for revenge, but this time, they—Hey! What the?"

Soon, the Eds found themselves caught in a mysterious beam of light as Eddy said, "Wait a minute! I don't remember this being in the script!"

"What's going on, Double D?" Ed asked. "Are we traveling to the future?"

"I don't know what's going to happen, Ed and Eddy, but I have a feeling it will have nothing to do with time travel," Double D said as he and the other two Eds disappeared into the light, and traveled to a different universe.


Present Day: Aku's Mysterious Lair: Home of the League of Extraordinary Villains — ACME Space Station, The Reaches of Outer Space, Animation Multiverse

After the Eds got caught in the mysterious beam of light, the villains were watching their enemies floating in a portal to the dystopian future, with Thrax looking on and saying, "Well, look at that. Seems like our heroic challengers are making their way into the future right now."

Icy glared at Stormy for a moment, then she said, "Stormy, I'm still questioning why you thought it was a good idea to send robots out to capture Courage, Puffy AmiYumi and those Eds."

"Well, what else was I supposed to do?" Stormy said in a defensive tone, shrugging her shoulders. "Besides, I thought we needed some comic relief."

"I guess having Huey and Riley caught up in the crossfire wasn't enough for you, huh?" Icy said as she snickered for a bit.

Stormy proceeded to lash out at her oldest sister while Darcy just groaned in annoyance, having to step in and play the peacemaker between her youngest and oldest sister once again. The Trix's arguing seemed to have caught Aku's attention as he turned away from the computer screen and looked at the squabbling Trix, leading to the master shapeshifter to end their argument the best (and only) way he knew how.

"Cease this foolish arguing, girls!" Aku bellowed as he looked down at the two Trix, then looked back up at the screen. "At least we got the opportunity to take over their worlds and replace the citizens with the robotic counterparts. Once we finally destroy our blasted enemies, we will have nothing to worry about and we all will finally be victorious!"


Woo-hoo! The first chapter of the new-and-improved Battle for the Animation Multiverse is finally completed! Apologies for not including all of the battle scenes involving each of the main heroes, but the heroes themselves will eventually get their chance to shine in the later chapters. As mentioned earlier, this version is going to have a different style from the previous versions, but the overarching storyline should remain the same.

Anyway, it looks like Aku is trying his hand at creating a League of Extraordinary Villains once again, bringing Vilgax back into the fold while introducing new allies into the fold. While the villains are deadset on getting revenge on their sworn enemies and the Multiverse's most-powerful heroes, they probably didn't expect their robot minions to capture Courage the Cowardly Dog, Puffy AmiYumi or even Ed, Edd and Eddy! Hey, the more heroes, the merrier.

Also, you might notice that this version is more expansive compared to the rather short and choppy styling of the original, which might have had errors that I had overlooked because I was in a rush to get this first chapter out. Plus, it was fun for me to get an early start of what to expect from the character interactions throughout this fanfic (incl. some quick character moments with Bugs Bunny and Ben Tennyson, Juniper Lee, Bloom and Flora, and Jenny Wakeman and Static). Also, note how Jenny interacts with Static when he arrives in Tremorton—that might come into play for a future Static Shock-My Life as a Teenage Robot crossover set in the Animation Multiverse in the future…

What will happen when the heroes finally see the dystopian Animation Multiverse? How will Courage, Puffy AmiYumi and the Eds fit into this heroic supergroup? What do the villains have in store for the present-day counterpart of our heroes? "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
