Chapter 03: "A Meeting for the Ages"
A/N: Welcome back to the Sailor Space Jam, ladies and gentlemen! In the previous chapter, the Witches 5 and Kaolinite were already a step ahead of Bugs Bunny and the Sailor Guardians by seemingly capturing Bugs Bunny with relative ease and the hopes of actually defeating the Sailor Guardians! However, Bugs Bunny seems to have an idea of a special agreement for Kaolinite and the Witches 5, which seems to pique the interest of the girls in question. Meanwhile, Bugs sends a message to the other Looney Tunes and the rest of the Warner Bros. animated characters about a special meeting in the Town Hall that night, where Bugs will hopefully have an idea of a challenge for the Witches 5 that will ultimately determine the fate of the Looney Tunes characters and the Sailor Guardians. What challenge does Bugs Bunny have in store for the Witches 5? How will the Witches 5 respond to Bugs Bunny's challenge? Will the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians be able to put their talents together with the fate of the Tunes and the Guardians at stake? Well, let's "toon" in and find out right now, folks!

KidsWBYungsta Presents Looney Tunes & Sailor Moon: Sailor Space Jam! – Chp. 03: A Meeting for the Ages
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Warner Bros. Boardwalk / Bugs Bunny Boulevard – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
While Bugs Bunny and the Sailor Guardians were dealing with the presence of the Witches 5 and Kaolinite on the famed Moron Mountain spaceship, Babs and Buster Bunny were hanging out on the Warner Bros. Boardwalk, basking in the sights of Looney Tune Land as they were wondering what happened to Bugs Bunny earlier this morning. When they were at Acme Looniversity earlier, most of the prominent Looney Tunes were present in their classes—with the glaring exceptions of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. While Elmer eventually called to the school and confirmed he was dealing with a whopper headache after another encounter with a random spaceship that popped in from out of nowhere, they never heard anything about Bugs Bunny's whereabouts for most of the day.
"Babs, did you notice anything weird at Acme Looniversity today?" Buster asked.
"You mean, aside from the fact that Plucky was actually being nice to us without expecting anything in return?" Babs quipped while wiggling her eyebrows at Buster.
Buster just shook his head as he said, "No, not that—though I will admit it was pretty bizarre of the little green mallard—I was actually talking about the fact that no one had heard anything from Bugs since this morning."
"Ohhh … that's what you were talking about," Babs said while nodding her head. "Yeah, that is rather strange."
"Exactly my point," Buster said while scratching his head. "It just seems so out of character for Bugs to not call in to the Looniversity when he is either running late or if he is going to be absent from teaching the Wise Cracks class and he is going to leave a substitute in his place."
"Right, and he didn't even do that today," Babs said. "You don't think he ran afoul of those Nerdlucks again, did he?"
"Nah, I doubt it," Buster said. "Besides, they turned good and have been on good terms with the Looney Tunes and us Toonsters since the events of Space Jam. Besides, it's not like they have Swackhammer's influence to corrupt them like before."
"Well, if it wasn't the Nerdlucks, who else could it be?" Babs said as she rubbed her chin. "It couldn't have been the usual Looney Tunes suspects nor could it have been Mr. Plotz—though I wonder why that would've been a possibility."
"Hey, you never know … sometimes people would be desperate enough to resort to desperate measures," Buster said while shrugging. "That should at least why the Nerdlucks resorted to stealing talent from five NBA players to win that basketball game against the Looney Tunes."
Suddenly, Buster and Babs heard a voice say, "Actually, I think we have the answer of what happened to your mentor, Bugs Bunny."
Buster and Babs exchanged confused looks with each other as Babs said to Buster, "Buster, I know you just heard that, right?"
"Yeah, I heard somebody say what I think they just said," Buster said. "I think the real question is: Who just said they knew what happened to Bugs Bunny?"
"Look down here, Buster and Babs," the voice said again.
Buster and Babs then looked down to see Luna and Artemis, the cat companions of Usagi and Minako, respectively. Buster and Babs were surprised about their presence as Babs knelt down and said, "Luna and Artemis, where did you two come from and how did you know about what happened to Bugs?"
"Well, we actually arrived in Looney Tune Land a few moments earlier with the Sailor Guardians," Luna explained. "We had gotten word that the Witches 5 and Kaolinite were on the premises, trying to capture Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes characters for a character named … Swackhammer, I presume?"
"Oh, brother, I should've known Swackhammer was behind this scheme again!" Babs said while palming her face. "Doesn't that guy learn when to leave well enough alone?"
"Swackhammer? Wait a minute, why did Swackhammer decide to team up with these Witches 5 and Kaolinite characters?" Buster asked curiously. "How did Swackhammer manage to get those girls on his side for this endeavor?"
"Well, from what I can assume, the Witches 5 were planning on coming back for revenge against the Sailor Guardians and they weren't intending on engage on this mission," Artemis explained. "However, once they were given the opportunity, I could only assume the girls wanted to jump in with the delusion of defeating the Sailor Guardians for good."
Buster and Babs could only shudder at the idea as Buster said, "Sheesh, I guess these girls are dead serious about this thing."
"Well, is Bugs okay? What about the Sailor Guardians? Are they safe and sound?" Babs asked.
"From what I was told by Usagi, she, the girls and Bugs are all okay; Bugs is trying to negotiate with the Witches 5 about a challenge that will determine the fate of not only the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians, but also all of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters in this universe," Luna said.
Buster and Babs both gulped nervously as Buster croaked out, "Even … even us?"
Artemis nodded his head sadly as he said, "Not just you guys, but the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister."
"What?! Even the Warners?!" Babs said in a surprised tone. "Buster, this is serious! We've got to organize a town meeting about this!"
"Don't worry, Babs, I'm sure Bugs is going to organize a meeting about this tonight," Buster said to Babs, then he turned to Luna and Artemis, and asked, "Uh, Bugs is going to organize a meeting about this, right?"
"He was supposed to record a special message for all of the Warner characters at this moment," Luna said.
Suddenly, Buster's question would summarily be answered by a big screen television turning on to reveal Bugs Bunny on the screen, saying, "Attention, Toonsters: the Sailor Guardians and I are currently being held hostage by the Witches 5 and Kaolinite, who are said to be working for Swackhammer on Moron Mountain. Apparently, Swackhammer is back for revenge and he is trying to get us Looney Tunes characters to liven up his failing amusement park. Not only that, but he apparently wants the Sailor Guardians, the Tiny Toons and the Warners to join us as the new attractions for Moron Mountain. However, I am going to set up a challenge against the Witches 5 that will determine our fate. Be sure you all arrive at the Warner Bros. Pavilion at 7 o'clock sharp, so you will know about the grim situation that is upon us. Be sure to tell your fellow cartoon characters about this meeting because the fate of the Animation Multiverse is in our hands. Thank you."
"Well, Buster, I guess we know what we have to do," Babs said.
"You're right, Babs!" Buster said. "We've got to warn every Warner Bros. cartoon character we have ever known about this crazy revenge scheme by Swackhammer! If we don't, Looney Tune Land will end up becoming a tourist attraction on Moron Mountain … and, as for the Sailor Guardians, well …"
Buster just sighed sadly as he said, "I'd hate to know what will happen to them if the Witches 5 end up winning this challenge Bugs has in store for them."
"Oh, come on, Buster, don't think like that!" Babs said as she smirked and patted Buster's back. "If the Looney Tunes could win a basketball game against a group of superpowered aliens, what makes you think they won't defeat the Witches 5 and Kaolinite?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Babs," Buster said as he smirked back at Babs. "Besides, if there's one thing I've always known about Bugs, he's never backed down from a challenge, no matter how grim the situation is."
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Jimmy Butler's Home / The Burbank Serene Suburbs – Burbank, California
While the Tunes and Sailor Guardians were preparing for the big meeting at the Warner Bros. Pavilion, Jasmine was driving Jimmy to his home after the jam session on the Warner Bros. Studios lot. While Jasmine and Jimmy were having a friendly conversation, Jimmy quickly stopped Jasmine as she was getting closer to his house. As Jasmine slowed her Bugatti down to a smooth stop, Jimmy started to unbuckle his seatbelt as he said, "Thanks for the ride, Jazz."
"My name is Jasmine, Jimmy, you know that right?" Jasmine said, smirking at the basketball player.
Jimmy just smiled as he said, "Sorry about that."
"Oh, that's okay, Jimmy, I don't mind if you call me 'Jazz' because I believe you have a lot of charisma and you have got to be one of the most-charming players I have ever met in my first season in the NBA," Jasmine said, then she noticed Jimmy trying to open the door to her Bugatti. "Jimmy, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, I was listening to what you were trying to say to me," Jimmy said, then he looked at the door as he added, "I just thought you had already unlocked the doors."
"Oops! Sorry about that, Jimmy," Jasmine said as she finally unlocked the doors to her Bugatti and walked out to open the door for Jimmy. "I gotta tell you, I was so lost in our conversation, I guess I wasn't thinking straight like I usually do, you know?"
While Jimmy and Jasmine were both talking to each other, Jimmy's pet German Shepherd, Ace Charles, woke up upon hearing their conversation. As Jimmy got his stuff out of Jasmine's Bugatti, Jasmine took a look at Jimmy's house and said in amazement, "Wow … this is a nice house. This is such an awesome house! I've never seen anything like it … is that set up like a mansion or …"
Jimmy just brushed it off and said in a humble tone, "Nah, it's just a nice house. Thanks for the compliment."
"No problem," Jasmine said. "Is there anything else you need before I leave for the evening?"
Jimmy thought about anything else he needed before Jasmine left for the day, then he shook his head and said, "Nah, I think I'm good for the day. I think you need to go home and get some rest. I think, after that fall at the Warner Bros. Studios lot, you might need to get an evening of rest and relaxation yourself."
"You think so? Are you sure you don't need anything? I could stay around for a few more minutes and help around the house with something," Jasmine said.
However, Jimmy just smiled and said, "Nah, go ahead and get some rest, Jasmine. I think you did a pretty good job for your first day as my agent: you deserve a night to yourself."
Jasmine then smiled at Jimmy and said, "Thanks, Mr. Butler. Oh, do you need a ride for anywhere tomorrow?"
"No, I'm straight for tomorrow," Jimmy said with a smile. "I have my own ride for tomorrow's practice session. Tomorrow, I have to fly to Boston anyway to prepare for the game against the Celtics, so I might meet you up there."
"Oh … think you can handle that?" Jasmine asked while smirking at Jimmy.
Jimmy just smirked back at Jasmine as he said, "Come on, Jazz, you think I can't handle a simple drive to the airport in L.A. traffic?"
Jasmine just chuckled in response as she hugged Jimmy and walked to her car, waving at Jimmy and saying, "Alright, Jimmy, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright, Jasmine, I'll see you tomorrow," Jimmy said from afar as Jasmine started her car.
As Jimmy started to walk into his house, he suddenly heard Ace Charles barking at him as he darted out of his dog house and rushed up towards him. Jimmy put his hands up as he said, "Oh, come on, Ace Charles, not again! Don't do this today! I just—Whoa!"
Jimmy tried his best to stop Ace from licking all over his face, but to no avail. After a two-minute struggle, Jimmy eventually got Ace off of him, then he said, "You know, I'll never understand why you tend to do this every time I come home, but I guess I should never question a dog's instincts. Am I right?"
Ace Charles barked happily in response, then he ran back into his doghouse as Jimmy got up from the ground and dusted himself off. Eventually, he saw Cleopatra Williams, Freestyle Vibrations and Darius Magnificent walking up to him as he said, "Oh, hey, Freestyle, Cleo, Darius, what's up, guys?"
Darius exchanged high-fives with Jimmy as Freestyle Vibrations said in response, "How did the jam session go, Jimmy? I know you guys were playing your hearts out as usual."
"Oh, you know, just business as usual," Jimmy said with a smile as he shrugged his shoulders. "So, how was the basketball game today?"
"Well, from what I saw, our friend Duane went 2-for-5 on shooting today and he lost 32 points from his shooting percentage," Cleopatra explained.
"No kidding?" Jimmy said in a surprised tone.
"Yeah, so I think that puts him at a … .469 shooting percentage, so to speak," Cleopatra said as the group walked into the house.
Once the group walked into the house, Freestyle Vibrations walked into the house and turned on the television, noticing that they were talking about the New York Knicks' most-recent game against the Grizzlies, taking note of how the new Knicks team was starting to gel with their newest acquisitions. Freestyle called out to the others, "Hey, Jimmy, come here! They're talking about your former teammates on ESPN!"
Jimmy, Cleo and Darius all walked in to see what Freestyle Vibrations was talking about. Of course, it turns out the people on ESPN were talking about the recent performance of the New York Knicks after a season-opening loss. While they were praising the Knicks for their performance in the previous game, they also expressed concerns of rising tensions among the players due to Carmelo Anthony's role as the leading scorer. Jimmy seemed to watch this with interest as Cleopatra asked, "Did you guys ever get into any sort of personal fights regarding the roles of the players?"
"No … even worse, sometimes we'd threaten each other with early retirement or something like that," Jimmy said with a slight laugh.
"I think that, as long as Derrick stays healthy through the NBA season this time, the Knicks might turn into some true playoff contenders if they manage to keep everything together," Darius said to Jimmy.
"You think so? I might have to remind Joakim about that when they come back to Chicago," Jimmy said, then he picked up the remote and said, "Why are you guys deciding to watch this right now? How about a quick change of pace?"
As Jimmy started to change the channels, he eventually changed the channel to Cartoon Network, where a classic Wile E. Coyote-Road Runner cartoon was currently playing. Jimmy then placed the remote down as he said in a playful tone while walking out of the room, "There you go, the Road Runner. Beep, beep!"
After Jimmy left the room, the three teens were watching the Looney Tunes cartoon playing on the screen. In the following cartoon, Wile E. Coyote was busy carrying an anvil on a line-thin piano wire until the wire gave way to the weight of the anvil and carried him all the way down to ground level. The Road Runner ran up to Wile E., looking at him for a moment until he said, "Beep, beep!"
As the Road Runner ran off-screen, however, Yakko, Wakko and Dot quickly appeared on the screen as Yakko said, "Hey, wait a minute! Stop this cartoon!"
Once the Warner Brothers and the Warner Sister finally made their on-screen appearance, the trio was trying to catch their breath as the three teens were surprised at the presence of the stars of Animaniacs in a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon. Wakko then cleared his throat as he said to Wile E. and the Road Runner, "Listen, Wile E., Road Runner, we've got an Emergency Cartoon Character Union Meeting at the Warner Bros. Pavilion tonight. Bugs says this meeting is very important!"
The Road Runner nodded his head and said his signature catch phrase as he ran off-screen, leaving the Warners surprised as they tried to catch up with him and Dot said, "Hey, wait for us, Road Runner! Next time, learn how to hold your horses!"
Wile E. let go of the anvil and tried to catch up with the Warners and the Road Runner, not realizing that he was shot up into the air by the thin piano wire. After Wile E.'s sudden exit from the cartoon, there were no other cartoon characters on the screen, leaving the three teens in complete confusion.
"Dang, where'd they go?" Darius asked in confusion.
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – The Warner Bros. Pavilion – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
Meanwhile, back in Looney Tune Land, all of the Warner Bros. cartoon characters were gathering for the big meeting in the Warner Bros. Pavilion where Bugs Bunny would be discussing the grim situation at hand. Various cartoon characters of the Warner Bros. lineup, ranging from Foghorn Leghorn and the Tasmanian Devil to Slappy and Skippy Squirrel, were all arriving and gathering at the pavilion in droves. While Bugs and the Sailor Guardians were surveying the audience that was arriving, Sailor Moon looked on in amazement, seeing all of the different cartoon characters that were walking into the auditorium as she said to Sailor Mars, "Look at that, Sailor Mars, all of these cartoon characters all under one roof …"
"I see what you mean," Sailor Mars said to Sailor Moon, sharing a similar sense of amazement. "I'm surprised that all of these Looney Tunes are able to live regular lives outside of their work in these cartoons, especially considering that 90% of the time, they are trying to kill or just annoy each other."
"Maybe it's the case of them being actors and having the play the roles they are expected to play," Sailor Moon said in response.
"Well, if that's the case, I can say that they play their roles really well," Sailor Neptune said with a smirk. "Especially when it comes to Bugs and Elmer."
Although the girls thought Bugs was out of earshot, he overheard their conversation about how the Looney Tunes were living outside of their work in the cartoons. Before he could respond to Sailor Neptune's comment about his collaborations with Elmer Fudd, he and the Guardians noticed that Wile E. Coyote, correlating with a gag that occurred in one of his own cartoons, crashed through the roof of the pavilion and landed on the red carpet floor. The Guardians all winced at Wile E. landing on the floor as Sailor Venus added in a sympathetic tone, "Y'know, I honestly feel bad for that poor coyote. As if constantly getting humiliated by the Road Runner and having his experiments backfire on him weren't bad enough."
"I guess that makes two of us, Venus," Sailor Pluto said to Sailor Venus while placing a hand on her shoulder.
Just before Wile E. could get up from the ground, however, he was quickly stopped by Daffy Duck stepping on his nose, possibly out of annoyance for this Toon Meeting interrupting his plans for the evening.
"Alright, stop the music! WB's top-tier duck star coming through!" Daffy said in an annoyed tone as he was making his way to the stage, covered in a wide variety of bath garments. "Sheesh, it's getting to the point where a guy can't even get himself wet around here! Alright, Bugs, so what's the big emergency this time? Did those Nerdlucks come back for revenge or something?"
Everyone in the theatre looked up to the figures who were currently on the stage: the Witches 5, Kaolinite, the Sailor Guardians and Bugs Bunny, who was surprisingly not tied up in chains, compared to his previous encounter with the Nerdlucks that ended with him getting chained up. Although Bugs did feel suspicious about the presence of the Witches 5 and Kaolinite in the Looney Tunes' universe, he just played it cool like he would usually do in a dire situation like this and addressed the Tunes in the audience, "Eh, ladies and gentlemen, these rivals of the Sailor Guardians have arrived in our universe with an important announcement."
Bugs then passed the microphone to Eudial as he said in a snarky tone, "Eh, here ya go, Red Riding Hood."
The Witches 5 then pushed Eudial up to the microphone as Eudial turned to them and said, "Alright, alright, girls! Just settle down! Would you stop pushing me already?!"
Once Eudial finally made her way to the microphone, she cleared her throat and said, "So, you are all of the cartoon characters who managed to defeat those MonStars back in '96, huh? Well, keep this in mind, Tunes, we are nothing like those Nerdluck goofs you guys had to battle! In fact, we are way more effective than any of those guys combined!"
"Yet you couldn't stop yourselves from backstabbing each other at any given moment, which eventually led to you girls offing each other for no apparent reason," Sailor Jupiter whispered to her teammates, inciting light giggling from her fellow Sailor Guardians.
Eudial growled at Sailor Jupiter for her snide comment, but she continued addressing the Looney Tunes and the other Warner characters present in the Pavilion, saying, "Ahem … as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, we are the most-effective villains to have ever laid foot on Looney Tune Land! So, basically, what I'm trying to say is … you—all of you—are now our prisoners!"
Eudial's comments just incited nothing but dead and awkward silence among the Tunes that were present in the audience … that is, until the silence morphed into uproarious laughter from all of the Warner cartoon characters, which might lead to the implication that the Witches 5 might not be taken so seriously compared to the Nerdlucks. Much to Eudial's annoyance and the confusion of the rest of the Witches 5, the Tunes' laughter only implied that things were going to be no different this time around compared to 20 years earlier.
"What the—what are you all laughing for? I didn't make any jokes! Cease this laughter immediately!" Eudial said in an annoyed tone.
"Ooh, I guess we're in big trouble now!" Sylvester said in between the uproarious laughter from the Tunes.
Eudial was just flustered by how the Warner Bros. cartoon characters were not taking her threats against them seriously, so Cyprine decided to step up to the plate and get everything back on track as she took the microphone from Eudial and said, "Listen, you crazy cartoon characters, we are going to take you all to the Moron Mountain amusement park in outer space …"
"… Trust me, we're not foolin'," Mimete added without skipping a beat.
"… where all of you Looney Tunes characters and even the pathetic Sailor Guardians will all be the new slaves! You all be placed on display and serve as the entertainment for the amusement of the well-paying, money-earning customers," Cyprine explained.
However, the Tunes still would not take the words of the Witches 5 seriously as Daffy clutched his chest teasingly and said in a sarcastic tone to Sylvester, "Oh, brother, fear clutches to my breast!"
As Daffy and Sylvester started to leave the Pavilion following Daffy's punchline regarding the threat level of the Witches 5, the Tunes started to engage in even more uproarious laughter, much to the increasing anger and annoyance of the Witches 5 and Kaolinite. Suddenly, Yosemite Sam rushed up to the stage with guns ablaze, pointing his guns at Eudial as he said in a determined tone, "We ain't a-goin' nowhere!"
Eudial just rolled her eyes at Yosemite Sam's bravado as she pulled out her Fire Buster and inflicted a fiery blast on Yosemite Sam, burning the Looney Tunes' signature gun-slinger into a crisp! Yakko watched the scene in surprise as he said, "Wait a minute, I never knew they had those kinds of abilities!"
"Who would be that crazy enough to invent that type of technology for those vixens?" Slappy said in disdain, then she turned to the audience and said in a sotto aside, "As if I had to ask …"
"Our leader, Professor Tomoe, that's who! With some added assistance from moi," Kaolinite said as she and the Witches 5 pulled out their laser guns and pointed them at the Tunes. "Alright, you Looney Tunes, are you going to heed to our demands or will we be forced to use force?"
The Tunes all shot their hands up into the air—with Daffy even getting on his knees for good measure—which led to the Witches 5 and Kaolinite smirking deviously at each other as Tellu said, "Well, what do you know? This is going easier than I thought."
Suddenly, she felt a lemon meringue pie hit her on the back of the head, which caused Kaolinite and the rest of the Witches 5 to laugh at her, which in turn caused the Tunes to engage in more laughter upon seeing Tellu covered in said pie. Tellu just glared at the Tunes in the audience and said, "Alright, you screwball Toons, which one of you was the prankster?"
"Oh, Tellu," Sailor Mars said in a sing-song tone of voice. "I think you are going to find your answer right here, sister!"
Tellu then turned to see that Sailor Mars was the one who threw the pie at her, the pie in question being supplied by Bugs Bunny. Before things could lead to an all-out battle between the Witches 5 and the Sailor Guardians, Bugs just walked up to the Witches 5 and said, "Now, just listen here for a moment, doc, you may be able to get away with threatening citizens in your universe—at least until the Sailor Guardians manage to stop you anyway—but you can't get away with that here in Looney Tune Land!"
"Oh, really? What makes you think that?" Eudial said while raising an eyebrow.
"Well, if you had watched Space Jam, like Mimete here claimed, you'll know that the Nerdlucks were at least reasonable enough to let us defend ourselves by throwing down a challenge," Bugs explained.
"So?" Tellu said.
"So … the same rules apply here," Bugs said. "If you think you can take us down without a fight, you girls got another thing coming. Besides, you just can't waltz in here and hold us hostage, so we could bow down to Swackhammer; that would be bad. You ladies gotta give us a chance to defend ourselves! After all, it is a Warner Bros. tradition."
"Oh, yeah? Who says?" Eudial asked as she pointed her Fire Buster at Bugs' face, sporting a devious smirk and preparing to blast the rabbit to smithereens..
In response to Eudial's threat, Bugs just pushed Eudial's Fire Buster away from his face as he looked in his bag and tried to look for the book he had from 20 years earlier. Once Bugs finally found the book, he showed it to the girls, which said "How to Capture Cartoon Characters", instead of "How to Draw Cartoon Characters".
"There it is! The original book from 1996! Read it and weep, ladies!" Bugs said as he gave the book to Eudial.
"What the—let me see that book!" Eudial said as she grabbed the book from Bugs' hands, then she and the Witches 5 looked at the page Bugs turned to.
"'All invaders must give the Looney Tunes a chance to defend themselves'," the Witches 5 read simultaneously.
"Ugh, do we really have to abide by this stuff?" Tellu said with a groan. "It's literally a sticky note taped over a page of how to draw Bugs Bunny!"
"Well, it's in the rule book, Tellu," Mimete said.
"Alright, then, it is in the rule book," Viluy said. "Feel free to come up with a challenge since it is only fair."
"Wait a minute, since when are we known for playing fair with our enemies?!" Eudial asked in an annoyed tone.
Bugs then entered the backroom of the pavilion with the Sailor Guardians and some of the Looney Tunes characters as he said to the Witches 5 and Kaolinite, "Uno momento, señoritas! The Sailor Guardians and the Looney Tunes have to confer about this matter at hand!"
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – Backroom at the Warner Bros. Pavilion – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
Once the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians gathered in the backroom of the Warner Bros. Pavilion, Bugs Bunny entered the room in an outfit akin to a certain General George S. Patton with the American flag as the background while saying in a confident tone, "Alright, troops! It is for us to choose a battlefield that affords us to—!"
While brainstorming possible ideas for a challenge against the Witches 5, an idea came into Sailor Jupiter's mind as she raised her hand and said, "Hey, Bugs, I've got an idea!"
Bugs just smirked at Sailor Jupiter as he said in a half-sarcastic, half-playful tone, "Yes, Mistress Makoto?"
"How about we challenge them to a softball tournament?" Sailor Jupiter said.
"Wait … maybe we could have a swimming challenge," Yakko said as he rowled, then he and Wakko simultaneously said, "Hellooo, Swim Meet Babes!"
"A swimming challenge, Yakko? That's the best you could do?" Daffy asked in a tone that reeks of complete disdain.
Suddenly, Sylvester walked into the room and said, "Sufferin' Succotash! What's wrong with all of ya? Listen, I've got an idea for a challenge that I know those Witches 5 characters can't beat us in!"
"Alright, Sylvester, what did you have in mind for a challenge?" Sailor Moon asked curiously while raising an eyebrow.
Sylvester then pulled up a ladder from out of nowhere as he said, "I'm glad you asked, Sailor Moon! I say, we get a ladder, wait 'til the old lady's outta the room and grab that little yellow canary once and for all!"
Once again, Sylvester imagined himself sneaking into Granny's house and finally catching Tweety for the first time in all of his nine lives. Sylvester was breathing heavily as he imagined eating Tweety until Bugs walked up to him and patted his back, saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take a deep breath, Sly!"
As Sylvester nodded his head frantically at the rabbit, Bugs then walked up to Sailor Moon and said, "Alright, Usagi, you and your friends know more about these girls than any of us Looney Tunes do, so what can you tell us about these girls? Are there any weaknesses that we should know anything about or something we could use to our advantage?"
"Well, Bugs, there are some fatal flaws they tend to overlook," Sailor Moon explained. "Aside from the trend of backstabbing, the girls are all talk and no bite. They like to think of themselves as being the top of the class, but they are nothing more than a bunch of mean girls who just grow more and more arrogant by the minute."
"Basically, just think of Daffy when he became your biggest rival," Sailor Neptune said, pointing to the duck's direction, inciting mass giggling from her fellow Guardians.
Daffy could only look at Sailor Neptune with a glare of annoyance and say in a tone of disdain, "Do you get a rise out of just saying things that just fly over the heads of people? Huh, do you?"
"Oh, come on, Daffy, you know I mean that in a good way," Sailor Neptune said in a reassuring tone. "Besides, you and Bugs seem to be the closest of the Looney Tunes, just like Uranus and me."
Bugs and Daffy both looked surprised upon hearing Sailor Neptune's assessment of their relationship. Daffy was about to make an insinuation before Bugs closed his beak shut and said, "Don't make this even more awkward than it already is, Daff."
As Bugs made his way to a blueprint, which was actually a model sheet that consisted of concept art, that included pictures of the Witches 5, he told the group of Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians that were present in the room, "Anyway, the reason why I asked for extra information there, Sailor Moon, is because of one thing I learned after our battle against the MonStars: if you wanna know about the weaknesses of your opponents, you gotta analyze the competition!"
Once Bugs pulled down the blueprint, the other Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians gathered around to take a look as Bugs pulled out a pointer and explained to the group in the room, "Alright, so what are we lookin' at here? We've got a group of five evil girls from the Azabu-Jūban district who have some sort of personal animosity against the Sailor Guardians …"
"A group of girls who happen to be evil counterparts of the Sailor Guardians …" Daffy added.
"They don't seem to have a lot of strategies to their plans …" Sailor Mercury said while rubbing her chin.
"They seem to be shallow and self-destructive …" Sylvester said as his lisp unintentionally got into both Daffy's and Sailor Mercury's eyes.
"Plus, they would easily stab each other in the back if given the opportunity …" Sailor Venus added.
Once everything started to add up, the group exchanged devious smirks with each other as Bugs said, "You know what, ladies and gentlemen? I think I know what we're gonna do …"
Date: Monday, October 31, 2016 – The Warner Bros. Pavilion – Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
After their discussion in the backroom of the Warner Bros. Pavilion, Bugs, Daffy, Sailor Mercury, Sylvester and Sailor Venus walked up to Kaolinite and the Witches 5 as Bugs bounced a basketball and spun it around on his finger as he said with confidence, "Alright, Witches 5, after some much-needed discussion among the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians, we challenge you to a basketball game!"
"Alright, Bugs Bunny, basketball it is!" Eudial said.
"Basketball!" Tellu said excitedly.
"Oh, this is gonna be so cool!" Mimete said as she jumped up excitedly.
"Alright, this is awesome!" Cyprine said, then the excitement turned into confusion as Cyprine asked, "Wait a minute, what is basketball?"
"Good point, what is that?" Viluy asked.
"Beats me," Mimete said while shrugging her shoulders.
Bugs just raised an eyebrow as he asked the Witches 5 in a playful tone, "Oh, come now, girls, I'm sure you girls know a thing or two about basketball, right?"
"Well … actually, we know the basics of basketball in our universe, but we don't know how it's done around here," Eudial said. "Think you could show us a tutorial film that explains how?"
Bugs was adamant for a moment until Viluy said, "Come on, Bugs! If you want us to play fair with you and the Looney Tunes, you guys have to play fair with us! It's common courtesy!"
"Alright, alright," Bugs said with a sigh and a smirk as he called out, "LIGHTS!"
As the lights were dimming and the basketball film started to play, Foghorn Leghorn was trying to find a good seat in the pavilion while unintentionally blocking the view from the other Tunes present in the pavilion. Annoyed about how Foghorn was blocking the view of the other Warner characters, Slappy Squirrel then threw a bag of popcorn at the famed Looney Tunes rooster as she yelled, "Hey, Senator Leghorn, down in front!"
After Foghorn fell to the ground with a thud after being hit by the bag of popcorn, the Witches 5 and Kaolinite started to watch the basketball movie as the narrator said, "An exhilarating team sport that has grown rapidly in popularity over the decades is basketball. Unlike other professional sports, such as football and baseball, only five men can play on a team. It's such a fast-paced, razzle-dazzle game that requires quick wits and even faster reflexes! Here's how it's done in the professional ranks: the National Basketball Association … featuring the best players in the world!"
Both Eudial and Mimete's faces beamed with excitement and interest as they and the rest of the Witches 5 exchanged devious smirks amongst themselves, then Viluy said, "The best players in the world, huh?"
"That's what he said: the best!" Tellu said while nodding her head.
When Bugs turned and noticed the starstruck faces on the Witches 5, he was starting to have his suspicions about their ulterior motives for this new basketball competition. Bugs motioned to the projectionist to stop the basketball film as he walked up to the Witches 5 and said, "Hey, what's with the starstruck looks on your faces, girls? You girls aren't planning anything snakish, are ya?"
The Witches 5 all snapped out of their starstruck stupor as Eudial shook her head and said, "Huh? Oh, no, of course not, Bugs! It's just that it's so interesting to see how basketball has evolved to become one of the most-popular sports in the world."
Bugs just raised an eyebrow of suspicion at Eudial as he said, "Eh, if you say so."
"So, when do you want to engage in this basketball challenge?" Cyprine asked.
"November 15th," Bugs said with a smirk and a slight nod of his head.
"November 15th?" The Witches 5 repeated in complete bewilderment.
"Hey, that's going to be the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, so we have to celebrate the occasion in style," Bugs said while shrugging his shoulders. "Besides, this event is going to be a huge pop culture phenomenon, so we have to do our part to solidify that."
Bugs then stuck his hand out as he said with a smirk, "So, Witches 5, do we have a challenge or are you willing to back out and let us go free?"
After a moment of deliberation, Eudial finally stuck her hand out and shook Bugs' hand as she said while smirking, "Alright, rabbit, you've got yourself a challenge."
"Just make sure you Tunes and Sailor Guardians still have your basketball skills by the time November 15th comes around!" Tellu said in a mocking tone.
Bugs could only chuckle at this as he said in response, "Hey, I don't think you have to worry about our skills being fine-tuned for the upcoming basketball game. I think you should be more concerned about your skills for this basketball game."
While the Tunes walked away with the Sailor Guardians, laughing with complete exuberance, the Witches 5 and Kaolinite walked out of the Warner Bros. Pavilion while exchanging looks of annoyance among themselves. While they were walking to the spaceship, Cyprine looked at Eudial and said, "Eudial, what were you thinking?! Did you seriously tell Bugs that our basketball skills would be fine-tuned by November 15th?"
"Hey, cool it, Cyprine," Eudial said with a smirk. "Remember how the film mentioned that the NBA had the best players in the world?"
"Yeah …" Cyprine said while nodding her head.
"Well, why don't we go into the real world and see how those NBA players play the game?" Eudial said. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we … borrowed their talent for this basketball game."
"Wait … I think I know where you're going with this, Eudial," Mimete said as she smirked at Eudial. "You're telling me …"
"Yep, we're going to become the new basketball superteam that Swackhammer's ever dreamed of!" Eudial said as she and the girls ran into the spaceship. "Kaolinite, we'll drop you off back to the Death Busters headquarters, so you could find a way to communicate with Swackhammer. The girls and I are going to make our presence known in the real world!"
Kaolinite nodded her head and smirked at Eudial as she and the Witches 5 flew away from Looney Tune Land in their spaceship, hoping to make their way into the real world to see some of the current NBA games.
Well, what do you know? It looks like the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians have a new basketball competition set for the Witches 5 on November 15th, with the hopes that they will easily win this second installment of the Ultimate Game. However, the Witches 5 seem to have some tricks up their sleeves as they are starting to make their way into the real world … with plans on doing who knows what to the NBA players they come across.
The Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians think they have this basketball game in the bag and it will be an easy win, but what will happen once they become aware of the Witches 5's new strategy? Will they be able to defy the Witches 5 in this basketball game or will they go down in shame? Well, "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
