"GRRAAAHHH!"

SMASH

The ridiculously oversized bone saw hit an innocent computer console, chopping it in half and causing the circuits to spark and smoke. Yakko had successfully destroyed the malfunctioning console after the camera attached to Ralph had lost connection. What footage he could make out from the feed was filled with static and had the resolution of a potato. His frustration reached its peak when the footage cut out entirely. Thus, he took his anger out on the console.

Wakko and Dot had been watching his temper tantrum the whole time. Dot spoke up after his rage faded, "You good?"

Yakko slung the saw over his shoulder, smiling as if he hadn't just massacred a piece of machinery for malfunctioning, "Yes. I'm better now."

"Well now we definitely don't know what Ralph is up to." Dot said, rolling her eyes.

"Ah, that's no big deal!" Yakko replied, casually waving the saw around as he spoke, "He'll come back if he values his life."

"Aww but now we can't see who he's gonna bring back!" Whined Wakko, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

Yakko approached his brother, gently poking him in the chest, "Which is why you're going to go look for him and bring him back!"

Wakko seemed excited at this idea, "Oh boy! That sounds exciting!"

"Exactly!" Yakko pointed to the hall leading out of the laboratory, "Now go fetch!"

Wakko barked and ran off on all fours. Yakko returned to a desk next to the ruined computer console, picking up an old rotary phone and dialing a number.

"Who you calling?" Asked Dot.

"Our investor." He answered, "We need new equipment," He glanced down at the destroyed computer still sparking at his feet, "Desperately."

Dot suddenly appeared in front of her brother, slamming the rotary phone down and distracting him from his dialing, "Want me to go haunt him like we did last time? That's way more fun than a dumb business call!"

Yakko picked up the phone again, waggling a finger at his sister, "No, no, no. We should be professional about this." He dialed the phone again, put it to his ear, and waited for the call to pick up.

"Hello?" A man's voice answered.

Yakko wasted no time making sure the malice in his voice was heard, "Hey skinbag. You owe us some dough."

The man started to sputtering, "I-... Mr. Warner, I just paid you last week! I-I-I'll see what I... Can do I just... Um..."

Yakko put the phone on his shoulder, using his hands to tinker with a piece of sliced computer, "In other words, you want me to cancel that order for Warnerium injections and have us come pay you a personal visit instead?"

"No no! Goodness no! I need those desperately! I made the mistake of waiting to order more and I'm starting to feel sick..."

"Then pay us for another shipment. Or I'll ship your body to the cemetery."

The man on the other end audibly gasped, "N-n-no! I'm sorry! I'll send my assistant to meet you as soon as possible! When are you available?!"

"Tomorrow night. After the studio closes. Sound Stage 13."

"Yes Mr. Warner. Right away Mr. Warner. The money will be there, I promise."

"For your sake, I hope it is."

Yakko hung up the phone, his intimidating scowl morphing to a happy expression in an instant, "That went well!"

Dot laughed, seemingly overjoyed, "I could hear him shaking from all the way over here!"

They both giggled nefariously. After their laughing fit, Yakko stood up and approached the shelf, full of jars of Warnerium, both liquid and solid forms. He reached for one of the jars labeled "Gross back spike Warnerium." He studied it carefully, shaking it in the jar and peering closely at it.

"Ew, why are you messing with Wakko's Warnerium?" Dot groaned, sticking her tongue out in disgust.

"I want to test this on whatever specimen Ralph brings back." He explained to her, "Ralph and the other experiments have all suffered from destabilization, meaning I had to stitch them back together when their bodies started falling apart. Not only that but they make such a mess with that crummy old Warnerium leaking out of them all the time."

"And?" Dot asked, "How is that any different than it coming out of Wakko? It's still gross."

"Ah, but it grows out of Wakko as a solid. I put forth to you, sister sib: what if the Warnerium that passes through the system of a toon is purer in its chemical makeup and-"

Dot snored loudly, interrupting her brother's scientific spiel. She was fake sleeping to annoy him. This caused him to cross his arms angrily.

"Oh suuuurrre... But when you go on a rant about ghost stuff, you expect me to listen!"

"I wouldn't have to rant about ghost stuff if you just fixed my stupid body to be cute enough!"

"Hey guys! I found Ralph!"

Interrupting the two siblings' squabble was Wakko, bringing back Ralph. Ralph had a human woman's body slung over his shoulders. The body wasn't moving or fighting with him.

Yakko groaned, "Ralph, what did I say? Bring back an ALIVE specimen!"

Ralph whined a little, but Wakko cut in for him, "No no, wait until you see who he got! You're gonna be really excited!"

Wakko pushed Ralph over to one of the tables. He gestured for Ralph to put down the body, which he did. As Yakko and Dot laid their eyes on their new specimen, they gasped.

Dot covered her mouth in shock, "That's Nora Norita! The CEO!"

Yakko turned to Ralph, smiling an unnaturally large smile, "You managed to get the CEO? How?"

Wakko answered for Ralph, "He said he found her in the parking lot, walking to her car. No one was around so he knocked her out. That's when I found him and brought him back!"

"The CEO..." Yakko breathed, "I wasn't expecting nabbing someone that important. If we toonify her... The whole studio will be in pure chaos!" This prompted him to give an evil cackle, "Quick! Strap her down before she wakes up!"

Wakko strapped her to the table she was laying on. Yakko ran and got his tools, as well as the jar of "gross back spike Warnerium" and set it next to the table. He rubbed his hands together with excitement.

"Oooh I can't wait to test my new hypothesis on such an exciting subject!" The crazed joy in Yakko's eyes was evident as he panted at the thought.

"Oh oh!" Dot piped up, rummaging through one of the filing cabinets, "I have a good model sheet we can use!" She pulled out a sheet with a cartoon character design on it and handed it to Yakko, "Can we turn her into proto-Dot? Please please please?"

Yakko studied the model sheet. He stroked his chin and turned the sheet on its side, "Hmm... I'm not sure if the body parts will line up correctly..."

"Pleeeeeaaaaasse?" Dot begged, giving her best puppy eyes.

Yakko relented, "Alright alright, fine. Just for you, sister sibling."

Dot cheered, twirling her ghostly form around with glee, "Yay!"

As Yakko set the model sheet down, Nora coughed. She slowly opened her eyes to her surroundings.

"Wh... What's...? Where am I...?" She asked, her voice weak and frail.

The Warners gathered together and loomed over her threateningly, "Hellooooo!"

Nora yelped and tried to jump away, only to find herself strapped down to a steel table, "Wha-?! What is this?! What's going on here?!"

"You're in the Warner Brother's-" Wakko started.

"-and Warner sister's!" Dot cut in.

Yakko continued, "Official toonification laboratory! You're our next lucky experiment!"

Nora glared at the puppy boy who was far too close to her face, "Is this some kind of sick prank?! Who are you?! Where is this place?!"

"Our names aren't very important." Dot answered her.

Yakko gave an evil chuckle, "You likely won't remember them when we're done with you!"

"We're gonna turn you into a toon!" Wakko finished, happily jumping around.

Nora stared at them for a moment, her brain slowly connecting the dots, "Wait... You're..." She glanced to the side and screamed, seeing Ralph standing there, staring blankly at her, "What is that?!"

"That, dear Nora," Yakko said, a proud smile on his face, "Is the beautiful result of toonification! And it's going to be what you become shortly!"

Nora's expression turned to one of horror, "What?! You're...! You're the ones responsible for all the disappearances, aren't you?!"

The three puppy kids giggled maniacally.

Yakko answered her, smiling viciously, "We're not ones to brag but..."

"It was us!" Squealed Dot.

Nora struggled hard against her restraints, now panicking, "You little monsters! You're the reason I can't keep this studio's reputation clean! You're why everything's gone wrong!"

"And we won't stop until this studio goes up in flames." Yakko replied, his look shifting to one of anger. He put on his goggles and pulled out his ridiculously oversized bone saw, "Now hold still. This is going to hurt a lot."
