KidsWBYungsta Presents Looney Tunes & Sailor Moon: Sailor Space Jam! — Chapter 13: Witches, Intros and Shows Take One
Date: Monday, November 7, 2016 — The Schlesinger Gym — Looney Tune Land, Animation Multiverse
Back in the Looney Tunes' world, the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians were all leading Jimmy into the Schlesinger Gym, which would serve as their base for basketball tryouts and pactice in the following days leading up to the Ultimate Game. Once the Tune Squad entered the practice gym, Jimmy said to Bugs, "Listen, Bugs, don't get me wrong, I wanna help you guys train for this big game, but I don't know if my level of skill would be good enough for this game. Besides, I have a feeling that my timing would be all off."
"Eh, don't worry, doc," Bugs said in a reassuring tone, turning to Jimmy as he said, "We'll fix your timing around here. Besides, just check out our top-of-the-line sports facilities!"
However, Jimmy could only look around the gym and exchange a glance with Usagi as he whispered to her, "You wanna know what? I have a sinking suspicion that this gym hasn't been in use since 1996."
"Maybe I should've asked Bugs about the conditions of this gymnasium before we talked about these practice sessions," Usagi whispered back.
Daffy jumped up and held onto a basketball on one end of the court as he said to the group, "We've got hoops!" before falling to the ground with a thud.
Taz was trying to lift a pair of weights before toppling over from the heaviness, unintentionally hitting the Goofy Gophers with one end of the weights as Elmer added, "We've got weights!"
Sylvester walked over to one of the lockers and said, "We've got balls!"
Once the cat opened the locker, however, a variety of balls proceeded to bury him. Jimmy looked on incredulously and said, "Yeah, you sure do, but this place is a mess!"
However, Daffy just shrugged off his suggestion as he walked up to him and said, "Mess? You're worried about a little mess? Ah, don't worry about a thing, JB, there's nothing around here a little spit shine wouldn't fix!"
He then turned to the other Tunes and shouted, "SPIT SHINE!"
"SPIT SHINE!" Sylvester echoed as the other Looney Tunes and even the Monstars started spitting on the floor, aside from Bugs and Lola.
Jimmy and the Sailor Guardians all looked upon the Tunes and the Monstars in amazment, confusion and disgust. Usagi looked at her friends incredulousy as she said, "Listen, girls, don't get me wrong, this is a little gross … but why couldn't we do this to clean our rooms?"
Her friends proceeded to roll their eyes and sighed in embarrassment as Rei said to her, "Why would you think that this is a good idea, Usagi? This is just so unrefined!"
"Since when did you care about being so refined, Rei?" Usagi said in a faux-ladylike tone.
Usagi's joke only caused Rei to get up into her face as she said, "Hey, I've got to set high standards for myself, but of course, I wouldn't expect you to know that!"
While the Looney Tunes and the Monstars were trying their best to "spit shine" the Schlesinger Gym, Taz proceeded to grab two mops and did his signature spin, which allowed him to clean every single part of the gymnasium, allowing it to look as good as new! Jimmy and the Sailor Guardians were all amazed at Taz's efforts as he finished cleaning the gym and gave a smile, saying, "Lemony fresh."
The Sailor Guardians giggled in response as Jimmy gave a smile and looked around, saying to the Looney Tunes, "Man, you guys are nuts!"
Porky then said to the basketball star, "C-c-c-correction, we're the L-L-L-Looney Tunes."
Daffy then added, "… and, as such, the exclusive property and trademark of Warner Bros., Inc.!"
While Daffy was saying this, he held up his tail feathers and revealed the signature Warner Bros. logo on his behind, then he proceeded to kiss the logo on his butt. Upon seeing Daffy's little joke, the Sailor Guardians looked at each other for a minute, then they proceeded to laugh. However, the energy in the gymnasium started to become tense as they all heard a loud, rumbling noise coming from outside the gym. Much to their surprise, they saw Cyprine burst through a set of doors with a growl, then Eudial followed through with a roar of her own. After that, Tellu and Viluy broke through a different set of doors at the same time with Tellu saying, "Well, I'm here!"
Mimete simply flew through the doors as she said in a confident tone, "Hey, don't forget about me!"
However, she ended up slamming her face into one of the backboards on the court, then she reared back as she covered her face and said, "Ow! That hurt!"
Eventually, the Witches 5 crowded around the Looney Tunes, the Sailor Guardians, the Monstars and Jimmy, all grinning evilly at them. Jimmy still kept his cool as he asked, "Who are these girls?"
Bugs placed a hand on Jimmy's shoulder and said to him, "Well, eh, remember those evil witches I told you about, JB?"
Bugs stood down and pointed at them from behind Jimmy as JB looked back up at them and said, "Oh, I see."
Eudial proceeded to give Jimmy a not-so-friendly introduction to their crew, saying, "You remember the Death Lineup back in the '90s? Well, say hello to the Apocalypse Lineup, wussy man!"
"Wussy man," Tellu echoed with a devious smirk.
Jimmy walked a little closer to them as he echoed in surprise, "Wussy man?"
Cyprine proceeded to jump onto Eudial's back as she said, "Yeah, we're the Witches 5! W-I-T… oh, uh, never mind."
However, Eudial quickly cut her off as she turned back to Jimmy and said in a devious tone, "Well, now that you're down here, let's see what kind of skills you got, chump!"
Eudial proceeded to roughly throw a basketball at Jimmy before he threw it back at them as he said in a stern, but serious tone, "Listen, I'm not in the mood to play basketball right now."
As Eudial got the ball back from Jimmy, Tellu proceeded to mock him, putting her arm against her forehead dramatically as she said in a mocking tone, "I'm not in the mood to play basketball right now!"
The other members of the Witches 5 proceeded to laugh uproariously as Viluy jumped up and added, "What's wrong, big bad basketball star? Are you chicken or something?"
As Viluy walked around the gym for a bit, acting like a chicken, Foghorn Leghorn cut in and stepped up to Jimmy's defense, saying, "I say, I resemble that remark!"
Jimmy glared up at the Witches 5, pointing at himself as he said, "Are you callin' me chicken?"
"Yeah, you wanna make something of it?" Eudial said before she proceeded to grab Jimmy, adding, "You know what? Don't answer that, just get over here!"
Once she grabbed Jimmy, she proceeded to mold him into the shape of a basketball as she looked at the other members of the Witches 5 and said, "Here you go, ladies! Go ahead and take him!"
She proceeded to pass him to Cyprine, who dribbled him with lightning-fast endurance as she said in excitement, "Whoa, check it out, ladies! Watch the footwork going on here! Can you believe it?!"
Just as she passed the ball to Viluy, she left a trail of fire on the heads of Bugs, Usagi, Rei and Wakko as Viluy caught Jimmy and said, "Alright now, just get out of the way and no one's gonna get hurt!"
When she jumped up to the hoop, she dunked Jimmy Butler into the basket so hard, she managed to shatter the glass from the hoop in the process. As Jimmy screamed his way down to the floor of the gym, he bounced away for a bit before turning back into his normal self as the Witches 5 laughed and Eudial said to the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians in a mocking and threatening tone, "Hey, everybody! Look at your hero now!"
After Jimmy got back to normal, shaking his head to clear his vision, Bugs walked up to him and asked in a concerned tone, "You okay, doc?"
"Yeah, Bugs, don't worry about a thing," Jimmy said to Bugs in a reassuring tone, just as he started to glare back up at the Witches 5 while dusting himself off, "I've been through a lot worse than this. Listen, I don't care where you girls came from, but y'all making a big mistake!"
"Well, what's the big deal? You're all washed up anyway … Eraser Head!" Viluy said in a mocking tone.
"Eraser Head?!" Jimmy asked in an annoyed tone.
Suddenly, Chibi-Usa flew up as Sailor Mini-Moon, stepping up to Jimmy's defense, much to the shock of the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians, as she said, "He is not washed up! Jimmy's one of the best that ever did it and he's going to whup your butts on the court next Tuesday!"
However, Viluy didn't take Chibi-Usa's threat seriously as she just flicked her away, "Shut up!"
Soon, Chibi-Usa found herself hitting a wall and sliding to the floor, much to the shock of Usagi, who had to be held back by her friends to avoid any sort of serious confrontation before the Ultimate Game. Buster and Babs exchanged glances with each other as Buster looked at Tweety and said, "I guess Chibi-Usa knows how Tweety feels when he tried to defend Michael Jordan 20 years ago."
"I have a feeling this is going to be a lot more personal because Chibi-Usa is Usagi's—" Babs began to say before Buster quickly stopped her, sayimg, "Babs, don't spoil that detail! Think about the people who might not know about the Sailor Moon mythos!"
However, Jimmy still shared a look of concern as he walked up to Chibi-Usa and helped her up from the floor while she moaned, "Oh … my poor, little cranium."
"Are you okay, Chibi-Usa?" Jimmy asked as he pet her head.
Mimete looked over the shoulders of both Viluy and Tellu, and asked in a similarly-concerned tone, "Yeah, are you okay?"
However, she was quickly stopped by Viluy and Tellu, both of whom growled in annoyance as Tellu said, "Hey, what are you doing, Mimete?!"
"Did you forget whose side you are on or something?!" Viluy asked in a similarly-annoyed tone.
Noting the sense of annoyance between the two, Mimete just gulped as she sheepishly said, "Whoops."
Chibi-Usa looked up at Jimmy, teary-eyed, as she said, "You're not s-s-s-scared of them … are you, Jimmy?"
Jimmy got up and dusted himself off a bit more, clearly annoyed by the antics of the Witches 5 and how much they had been showing off during their introduction. He took one look at the arrogant looks of the Witches 5, then he looked at the concerned Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians, then he looked at the Monstars, who were growling at the Witches 5. Soon, he finally got up from the floor and looked at Chibi-Usa, who smiled back at him, as he said in a stern, yet confident tone, "Alright, enough foolin' around. Let's play some basketball."
The Looney Tunes all cheered and exchanged high-fives with each other as Usagi stood beside Jimmy and said, "We're not scared of anyone who feels the need to harm my future daughter to prove themselves as being tough … I know we already agreed to this, but we're more willing to step up to the challenge than ever before!"
Ami jumped in and said, "I'm not going to let the Moon Princess jump into this by herself! I'm in!"
Rei chuckled as she stood next to Ami and said, "Well, I guess I'm in as well. Y'know, girls gotta stick by each other."
"I'm in, too!" Makoto said in a confident tone as she stood on the other side of Jimmy.
"Why not? I'm always up for a challenge," Minako said as she stood next to Makoto.
The girls and the Looney Tunes looked at the Outer Guardians, Haruka raising an eyebrow as she said, "What? You guys know we're going to be helping you out as well!"
"Well, you sure didn't look like you were up for the challenge, doc," Bugs said in a playful tone while munching on a carrot.
However, Haruka could only roll her eyes while smirking at the rabbit, knowing that he was kidding around. Luckily, the Outer Guardians did show that they were up for the challenge to save the Looney Tunes from impending doom. The Witches 5 were baffled by the level of confidence the Tune Squad was exhuming as Eudial said in a mocking tone, "Aw, isn't that sweet? You pathetic Tunes and Guardians are going by the old 'strength in numbers' method and you think that is going to help you all out in the Ultimate Game?"
However, Nawt decided to prove his worth against the Witches 5 by saying, "Listen, how about you shut up and give me the ball? I'll show you what we're made of!"
The Witches 5 balked at the red MonStar's request, but they proceeded to chuckle as Eudial passed him the basketball while saying, "Oh, I can tell this is going to be good …"
Nawt just rolled his eyes as he turned his attention to the ball and his level of tenacity. He proceeded to perform a series of crossover moves with such ease before running up to the hoop for a super slam dunk. To his surprise, compared to what it was like when he turned back into a MonStar, he managed to make the slam dunk! Nawt started playing an air guitar with so much enthusiasm as he said, "Aw, yeah, baby! The Monstars are back in business!"
This time around, Usagi decided that she wanted to go up against one of the Witches 5, so she asked for Nawt to pass her the ball. As Nawt passed her the ball, Tellu decided to battle against her, saying, "If you thought that was so easy, let's see you do better, Moon Princess …"
As she and Usagi went out on the court, Usagi proceeded to dribble the all with ease, performing a smooth crossover against her, but it was all for naught as Tellu managed to take the ball away from, then performed a backwards slam dunk, smirking at Usagi deviously. After performing the backwards dunk, she roughly threw the ball at Usagi, saying, "So, what was that you were saying about this game being so easy?"
Usagi just shrugged her shoulders and played it cool as she smirked at her and said, "So? We still have a week's worth of practice ahead of us. I think I would be more worried about my cockiness instead of how I'm playing."
The other members of the Witches 5 just "oohed" at Tellu, who just growled a little bit, then she smirked at Usagi and said, "Listen, I don't have to worry about that anymore. With us witches united, we'll be able to crush your pathetic Tune Squad on the court!"
"Are you just going to brag all day or are you going to play some ball?" Usagi said in a defensive tone as she started to dribble the ball past her.
She managed to get past her quickly and was making her way to the hoop, but she found herself wrapped up by Tellu's electrocuting vines, giving her a shock to the system as Tellu stole the ball from her and made her way to the hoop to perform a slam dunk. As Usagi stood back herself, shaken but still mentally strong, she looked at Tellu and said in a defensive tone, "Oh, come on, Tellu! You didn't have to play rough! That's gotta be against the rules around here!"
Tellu just chuckled in response as she said, "Oh, please, those Tunes didn't say anything about playing by the rules when it came to basketball."
"Well, they—wait a minute," Usagi said as she turned to the other Guardians and asked, "Wait, don't you have to play fair when it comes to basketball?"
"I know there are rules when it comes to the NBA, but from what I have seen of how the Looney Tunes play basketball …" Jimmy said as he trailed off during the last part of his sentence, shrugging his shoulders.
"What? Are you trying to say that …" Rei said.
Bugs would summarily answer her question by sadly shaking his head, saying, "In our universe, anything goes, doc."
"You mean, anything goes … no matter how heinous?" Usagi said in a lightly-surprised tone.
"Like I said, Usagi, anything goes," Bugs said.
As Usagi sighed sadly, Tellu walked up to her, sporting a devious smirk as she said in a threatening tone, "Well, it looks like things are not going in your favor, princess. You still wanna play?"
Upon hearing Tellu's mocking laugh, Usagi just whimpered in response as she rushed up to Makoto and hid behind her, giving her the ball as she said, "Alright, Makoto, you go out there and play against her! She is your counterpart."
Makoto was surprised at first, then she just laughed in response as she said, "Don't worry, Usagi, I'll show this girl what I'm made of."
As Makoto stepped out on the court to battle against Tellu, she had good control of the ball, actually keeping Tellu on her toes with whatever move she might pull out of her bag. Before she could make an attempt to snatch the ball from her hands, Makoto just smirked and said, "Y'know, I'm actually into a girl who knows how to take charge in a situation …"
Suddenly, Yakko popped up and blew a kiss to the audience as he said, "Goodnight, everybody!"
Tellu was shocked by Makoto's surprising insinuation, causing her to back away from her for a bit as Makoto ran past her and perform a Michael Jordan-style slam dunk. While the other members of the Witches 5 laughed at Tellu's misfortune, the other Sailor Guardians burst out laughing at Makoto as Haruka said to her in a playful tone, "Well, Makoto, it looks like you lost another shot at love with that one."
Makoto caught up with her friends as she shrugged and said with a smile, "Eh, I wouldn't worry about that too much, ladies, I'll live … Besides, a girl like Tellu—she's not even my type. After all, that should teach them a thing or two about not judging us before the game. If anything goes for the Witches 5, anything goes for the Tune Squad!"
The Witches 5 could only glare at them as Eudial said to the others, "Oh, brother, let's just leave these losers alone. Let them go ahead and practice all they want, they're gonna need it in the end …"
As the Witches 5 left the Schlesinger Gym, Tellu turned to them and growled as she said, "Listen, Tune Squad, you better watch your backs …"
After the Witches 5 left, Usagi felt a little shaken by what the Witches 5 would do to them as she turned to her teammates and said, "Listen, Jimmy, please tell me that you have a plan for this."
Jimmy gave an encouraging smile in response as he told her, "Don't worry about it, Usagi. We still have a full week ahead of us, so a plan will come up soon. As of right now, we should focus on practice, so we could improve our skills before the Ultimate Game on November 15th."
"Whatever you say, o' fearless leader," Daffy said in a joking tone, bowing down as it led to laughter from the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians.
Apologies in advance for this chapter being shorter than usual, but this serves as a foreshadowing for what could be expected in the Ultimate Game in the later chapters. Anyway, three updates in one week? This is a real surprise! Back to the lecture at hand, this chapter shows off Jimmy Butler is going to settle into his role as the new player-coach / co-captain of the Tune Squad, but things seem to get off to an intense start when he finally sees the new and improved (not to mention super-powered) Witches 5!
Although it all seems like fun and games for now, the Tune Squad is going to have to buckle down and put in all of their blood, sweat and tears into becoming the most-unstoppable force on the basketball court! However, their power will be increased once they get their three new recruits while they are practicing for the forthcoming basketball game. Despite that, though, the Witches 5 and Swackhammer might have their own surprises up their sleeves once the night of the Ultimate Game rolls around.
Will the Tune Squad be able to get things together once they engage in their training for the Ultimate Game? What type of plans do the Witches 5 and Swackhammer have in store for the Tune Squad on the night of the Ultimate Game, depending on the outcome? What will the three new recruits for the Tune Squad bring to the table and will their power be enough to help the Looney Tunes and the Sailor Guardians? As always, "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
