I thanked banjkazfan at the start of the last chapter, but I must mention that the other ten or so authors of Animaniacs fanfics over the last year or so played a big part in keeping my interest, most notably The Island Hopper.
Oh, I just thought I'd mention that I own all of the characters. Yup, Wakko, Yakko, Dot, and even Stephen Spielberg. I created them all. Rolls eyes. In other words, this is on Personally, I don't think I need to mention that I don't own the characters, because if I did it would be on The show's creators, producers, and even writers don't post their ideas here! Yet…. Picks up phone, tries searching the internet for writer's phone numbers. nyways, end of ramble.
After more than a year, I've had time to realize I should have come up with better names for the characters, but it is way too late for that.
Now let's see, I need a title for this chapter and I'm too lazy to continue being creative with them…how about…
Killed By Death!
It's not an accurate title, but it's what I was listening to.
Vakko felt a rush of fear come over him. Dottie knew that Xakko was contained within him. 'How could this be possible?' he thought. He then remembered that she had said that she had gotten the tranquilizer drug from Witches, Doctors, and Witchdoctors, Inc. If she was there, she had possibly had access to the record of Xakko's mind being transferred to Vakko. What Vakko didn't know was that Dottie also had Xakko's suspended-animation body with her, in the hearse outside. (((A/N: She stole it from the owner of Witches, Doctors, and Witchdoctors, Inc. What else would a guy like that drive?)))
Spurred on by Dottie's voice, Vakko felt the presence of Xakko try to communicate with her. Vakko realized that Xakko was trying, in vain, to inform Dottie of Dot's activity. Of course, Xakko could not completely come through and talk to Dottie, but his attempt caused an unexpected subconscious move from Vakko. Since Xakko was thinking about Dot, Vakko briefly shifted his eyes towards her door before he realized what he was doing. Dottie noticed this and looked Dot's way. Vakko and Dottie could see Dot's legs sticking out of the doorway, and she was clearly not moving. Vakko cursed under his breath.
"You're pretty stupid to have looked that way," Dottie said. "If Dot had managed to get into her room, I may not have been able to stop her from calling the cops."
Vakko cursed under his breath again, and Dottie heard him say something about Xakko.
"Oh, so Xakko did that, did he?" she said. "Sounds like you didn't get the most potent spell there was at Witches, Doctors, and Witchdoctors, Inc. I assume that has something to do with the reason you are tied up?"
"Nope. Tripped on a pile of rope and ended up this way."
"Right."
"It's a possibility."
"Moving on…" Dottie said. "I wouldn't want my Xakko to feel any pain, but I have a feeling that you won't cooperate and come along with me…"
"You got that right," Vakko said in agreement.
"Fair enough, I guess we'll have to do this that hard way," Dottie said, producing a funnel and plastic tubing. She shoved it down Vakko's throat, much to his discomfort, and held it in place using duct tape (((A/N: The handyman's secret weapon!))) She then screwed the top off of two of the tranquilizer darts and poured the contents down Vakko's throat. After a few moments, he was limp. She then poured down just enough of a wake-up chemical so that Vakko could enter REM sleep instead of being totally unconscious.
Dottie leaned down close to Vakko and spoke to him. "Xakko? Come back to me, my Xakko."
His eyes slowly opened. Dottie was pleased to see that they were red. She leaned down and kissed him, but only for a second as he bit her lip so he could talk.
"Are you just going to stare at me and gloat about your handiwork, or are you going to untie me, you bitch?" Vakko's body said in Xakko's voice. Dottie produced a knife and cut the knot. While doing this, she described he theory and her plan.
"Come on," Xakko said once he was fully untied. "We have work to do. Only one. They could possibly find a way to help each other if we take them all."
"Which one?" Dottie asked.
Xakko thought back (chapter 17 of 'I think it's a clone now') to his comments: "You'll see. And just to let you know, I'm coming after you first, Wakko."
He gave an evil grin. "I made a promise. And I intend to keep it."
Xakko leaned over and picked up Wakko. He smiled as he walked out of the tower with the unconscious Warner brother. If all went as planned, Wakko would be dead within two hours.
