KidsWBYungsta Presents Looney Tunes & Sailor Moon: Sailor Space Jam! – Chapter 24: Something Looney This Way Comes
Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 – Moron Mountain Intergalactic Universe / Swackhammer's Main Office – Moron Mountain, Outer Space
While the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn were fretting over their long-suffering future on Moron Mountain, and while Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus were going to deal with whatever dastardly deed Swackhammer has up his sleeves, the remaining members of the Tune Squad (Jimmy Butler, the remaining Sailor Guardians, the Monstars and the Sailor Starlights) had finally arrived on Moron Mountain. Once they landed in the parking port near the entrance of the amusement park, the group got equipped with their weapons as Jimmy looked at his teammates and said, "Alright, everyone, this is it: looks like we have another challenge on our hands because not only do we have to save the Looney Tunes and the captured Sailor Guardians, but we also have to stop Swackhammer from conducting whatever dastardly scheme he has up his sleeves. Does everyone know what the plan is?"
"Right!" The Monstars, Sailor Guardians and Sailor Starlights all said in unison.
Jimmy gave a smile in response as he proceeded to walk out of the spaceship and near the entrance, hiding behind some big rocks while gathering the rest of the team into a huddle. Jimmy then whispered, "Alright, here's the drill: Sailor Star Fighter, you and the other Starlights are going to lead Pound, Bang and Blanko to where the Looney Tunes and Sailor Guardians are, and try to free them, then Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus will come in and lead them into the spaceship. I'll go with Bupkus, Nawt, Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto to find Swackhammer and stop him—though I have a sinking feeling that he might have Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus in his clutches …"
Sailor Neptune quietly fumed with anger as Sailor Venus said, "Uh, Jimmy, before we engage in the final battle with Swackhammer, shouldn't we all put our energy into finding the Looney Tunes first?"
"Of course," Jimmy said as he nodded his head. "It might be tricky to find out where Swackhammer has them, so we have to be careful. Oh, and keep a sharp eye out for those SwackBots … those guys could be trouble."
The group all nodded in agreement as they proceeded to walk into the amusement park. However, Nawt quickly took note of the surveillance camera that was near the entrance, so he pulled out a can of black spray paint, quietl snuck up to the camera and quickly sprayed the black paint on the lens. He caught up with the group as he said with a smirk, "Gotta keep a close eye out on those surveillance cameras as well. One false move and who knows what will happen!"
"Nice work, Nawt!" Sailor Mercury said as she and Nawt exchanged high-fives.
While the group made their way through the entrance, they were amazed at how Moron Mountain managed to pull itself together and actually come up with new rides and engaging attractions, even though Swackhammer had failed at capturing the Looney Tunes after the original Ultimate Game. Bang was impressed as he said, "Wow! I guess things finally turned around for Moron Mountain since they left all those years ago, huh?"
"Yeah, maybe if Swackhammer had focused more on being a reasonable amusement park owner instead of endlessly chasing the money trail, this place would've been even bigger than what it is right now!" Bupkus said as he took a look at one of the roller coasters.
While the rest of the group was similarly amazed, Sailor Star Maker tried to get everyone back on track as she said, "Listen, I don't mean to hastily change the course of the conversation, but where are we going to find the Looney Tunes and the captured Sailor Guardians?"
Nawt looked into his backpack and said in a confident tone, "Say no more, Sister Star Maker, say no more! I'll figure this riddle out in a jiffy!"
As Nawt dug through his backpack to find his contraption, he finally pulled out the old-school Moron Mountain map, which actually had all of the different park areas and locations labeled for their own convenience. Nawt then turned to the audience and said, "A bit too convenient, I know, but what the hey? I gotta improvise somewhere!"
While looking at the map, Nawt tried to find an area where Swackhammer would usually keep the star attractions, but he had a tough time deciphering the map because of its age. While he could've easily pointed out the location had the park used its original layout, the layout of Moron Mountain had changed so drastically that it would be impossible to point out any sort of former location. Eventually, Nawt remembered something that Swackhammer used to do for star attractions, looking up at Pound and said, "Hey, Pound, do you remember what Swackhammer used to do when he had bought some new star attractions for the park?"
"Yeah, I think he always kept them in a secret storage room that contained tons of cells," Pound said, scratching his head. "I just wonder where that room is …"
Suddenly, Blanko smelled a particular skunk scent in the air as he said, "Hey, dudes and dudettes, I think we might have our answer over there!"
As Blanko led the group to where the secret room was located, they eventually stopped at a door that had a sign that said "Moron Mountain Secret Storage: Park Personnel Only—No Soliciters Allowed! Yes, We Do Mean You!". Blanko could only roll his eyes at the sign placed on the door as he said, "Typical Swackhammer …"
"Well, this must be where he has the Looney Tunes!" Sailor Mars exclaimed as she rushed up to the door and grabbed the handle, pulling on it hard to open the door, but it was to no avail. "Come on, you stupid door! You gotta open up sometime!"
"Sailor Mars, it's no use!" Sailor Star Healer said as she ran up to Sailor Mars and pulled her by her waist, trying to stop her from continuously pulling at the door. "That door is locked! There is no way we could get in there!"
"What are you talking about, Sailor Star Healer?" Sailor Mars said in shock. "There's gotta be a way we can get that door opened! Besides, all of our friends are in there!"
Suddenly, Sailor Jupiter walked up to the door, pushing Sailor Mars and Sailor Star Healer away as she said in a playful tone, "Please, ladies, why don't you let a pro show you how it's done?"
Once Sailor Jupiter walked up to the door, she crossed her arms over her chest with her index and pinky fingers extended, then the lightning rod extended from within her tiara, crackling with electricity. Suddenly, lightning started raining down from the sky, surrounding her rod until she extended her arms and sent it towards the door, all while calling out, "On behalf of Jupiter, I call upon the forces of thunder and lightning to vanquish this evil!"
After making this declaration, the lightning bolts proceeded to hit the door, causing it to fly off of its hinges and land on the floor with a loud crash. While the rest of the group stood there motionless, surpised, yet amazed by Sailor Jupiter's attack, Sailor Jupiter just winked at them with a smile as she said, "Told ya I could do it. Come on, let's go!"
Unbeknownst to the group, however, three of Swackhammer's SwackBots had heard the commotion as one of them said, "What the heck was that?"
"I didn't think they were calling for a thunderstorm this evening," another of the SwackBots said.
However, the leader of the SwackBots knew that something was amiss: there was rarely any weather on Moron Mountain, seeing as how it was in outer space, and lightning does not just randomly pop up like nobody's business … unless it was used as an attack! The leader turned to his comrades and said, "That sounded like those Tune Squad chumps, trying to rescue their friends! Listen, you two go up there and destroy them! I'll stand here and guard the slaves with the other guys."
The two SwackBots nodded their heads as they tried to catch up with the source of the explosion. Once they had finally arrived, they noticed that the door was already destroyed and began to analyze the destruction for any possible clues as to who could have done this. Suddenly, a box of dynamite had popped up next to the cyborg, then the fuse was lit and it eventually blew up, causing the SwackBot to break down to a heap of scrap metal. As if on cue, the group broke out of their hiding spot and looked at the SwackBot, with Jimmy commenting, "First, it was the Star-Borgs, now he decided to build SwackBots …"
Jimmy just shook his head in disdain as he turned to his teammates and said with a smirk, "You'd think he would have learned by now."
Before they could proceed to defeat the remaining SwackBots and rescue the Looney Tunes, Jimmy said, "Alright, remember the plan. Sailor Starlights, you girls lead Blanko, Pound and Bang to where the Looney Tunes are being held; Inner Guardians, you girls stand near the door to help the Looney Tunes to safety; and Bupkus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto, Nawt and I are going to have a talk with Swackhammer …"
Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2016 – Moron Mountain Secret Storage – Moron Mountain, Outer Space
As everyone nodded their heads in agreement, the Sailor Starlights proceeded to lead Blanko, Pound and Bang down the lower areas of the secret area, hoping that they will find the room where the Looney Tunes are currently being held. Just as they went down there, they were stopped by two of the other SwackBots as one of them said, "Not so fast! You are going to pay for what you all did to our friend up there!"
However, Bang stepped up to the cyborg with no fear as he cracked his fists and said while sporting a smirk, "Oh, yeah? That's what you think, you overconfident cyborg!"
As Bang started charging at the SwackBot, the cyborg's eyes widened in shock when he saw the most-aggressive of the Monstars ready to throw a debilitating punch at him, to which Bang did as his punch was so hard, it caused the cyborg to blow up into a million pieces, shattering pieces of metal everywhere. As Bang wiped the sweat from his forehead, Blanko walked up to him and said with a smile, "Wow, nice punch, dude."
"Thanks, Blanko, I try," Bang said with a smirk.
The Sailor Starlights and the three Monstars continued their search for the secret room containing the Looney Tunes until they came across a room that was guarded by the leader of the SwackBots, which only caused Sailor Star Healer to groan in despair as she palmed her face and said, "Oh, great, just what we needed: yet another SwackBot! How are we going to get inside with that bag of bolts guarding it?"
An idea then came into Pound's head as he pulled out an ACME-brand laser gun and said, "Just leave it to us, ladies. The guys and I will distract him while you girls free the Looney Tunes and the captured Sailor Guardians."
As Pound shot at the SwackBot, causing him, Blanko and Bang to run down the hall as the SwackBot gave chase, the Sailor Starlights nodded as they proceeded to make their way into the secret room. Once they stopped at the front of the door, Sailor Star Maker pulled out a lockpick and used it to unlock the door. After she managed to unlock the door, the girls entered the room and saw the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn locked in cages and chains, some of them crying, others passing the time with some card games or sleeping.
However, once they saw the Sailor Starlights enter the room, all set to rescue them, their looks of fear and despair instantly turned to unadulterated joy. When Sailor Star Fighter walked up to the cage where Bugs and Lola were located, Bugs jumped up and said in a surprised tone, "Sailor Starlights! How did you girls find us?"
"The Monstars helped us out and they led us up here," Sailor Star Fighter explained. "We had a feeling that you guys would all be in here."
Lola just sighed sadly as she said, "Well, it's a blessing that you guys managed to find us, but there's a bit of a snag: there's no way we can break out of these cages."
Sailor Star Maker then pulled out a decrypter card, sticking the card into the slot of the lock as she said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, Lola, I got this."
Sailor Star Maker proceeded to use the card to find the numbers used to unlock the cage, then she entered the code into the keypad and the cage opened, freeing Bugs and Lola as the former said, "Well, what do you know? We're finally out of those cages!"
Lola ran up to Sailor Star Maker and hugged her as she said with a smile, "Oh, thank you, girls! I knew you and the others would come back to save us."
"Aww, thanks, Lola!" Sailor Star Maker said, smiling as she hugged Lola back. "Besides, it's not like we were going to sit around and let Swackhammer force you guys to serve as the entertainment for his Moron Mountain amusement park. We also wanted to return the favor for letting us help you guys in the Ultimate Game tonight."
Sailor Star Maker proceeded to unlock the locks on the cages with the decrypter card until all of the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn. Sailor Star Healer looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Well, it looks like everyone's here, so—wait a minute, where's Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus?"
"The last we saw of them, Swackhammer had taken them to his secret laboratory, so he could take away their powers in order to create a powerful intergalactic basketball superteam that could take over the NBA!" Sailor Mini-Moon explained frantically.
The Sailor Starlights all gasped in shock as Bugs jumped up and said, "Listen, you girls go ahead and find the other Monstars, so you can get the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn up to the spaceship. I gotta go find the others and make sure they don't get caught by Swackhammer."
Just as Bugs left the secret room, the Sailor Starlights followed his orders as they led the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn out of the room. However, just as they went outside of the secret room, Sailor Mini-Moon had other plans as she decided to sneak away to catch up with Bugs, hoping to reunite with Sailor Moon. As she saw the rest of the Looney Tunes leaving with the Sailor Starlights, Sailor Saturn looked over at Sailor Mini-Moon and said, "Sailor Mini-Moon, aren't you coming?"
"I'm sorry, Sailor Saturn, but I … I … I can't!" Sailor Mini-Moon cried as tears started to well in her eyes. "I have to find out what happened to Sailor Moon! I just can't deal with the fact that she could be dead trying to defend us from Swackhammer's abuse."
"Sailor Mini-Moon, Sailor Moon is not dead and neither is Sailor Uranus," Sailor Saturn said in a reassuring tone. "They are only being held hostage by Swackhammer and, besides, Bugs said he was going to catch up with the others to make sure that they defeat Swackhammer in a timely fashion, so—"
"I know, but that's not enough!" Sailor Mini-Moon exclaimed, then she backed into the wall and slid to the floor, burying her face into her arms as she said, "I'm sorry, Sailor Saturn, but I don't want to deal with the burden that I was unable to rescue my new friends from impending doom because of the fact that they were forced into becoming attractions for a greedy business executive's amusement park!"
Sailor Saturn knelt down next to Sailor Mini-Moon, then she gave her a hug as she said, "Sailor Mini-Moon, I understand how much pressure is weighing on you for this, so if it is that important to you, then … I guess I will accompany you."
Sailor Mini-Moon instantly shot up and gave a shocked look at Sailor Saturn, saying in a tone of disbelief, "Really, Sailor Saturn? Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, you have a chance to be safe with the Looney Tunes and the others."
"Listen, it's a risk I'm willing to take," Sailor Saturn said, giving a reassuring smile to Sailor Mini-Moon as she added, "Besides, I don't want to see anything bad happen to you either."
Sailor Mini-Moon got choked up with emotion when she heard Sailor Saturn's statement, then she jumped up and hugged her tightly while crying as she said with a smile, "Well, if that's the case, Sailor Saturn, then let's go save Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus!"
Well, I guess things are starting to look up for the Tune Squad at last! Phase one of their plan was a success: saving the Looney Tunes, Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn from the secret room while also defeating the SwackBots to good effect! However, they can't celebrate too quickly because they still have to rescue Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus from being used as pawns in Swackhammer's evil scheme, so Bugs decides to accompany the team of Jimmy, Bupkus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Pluto and Nawt to battle Swackhammer.
However, while the Tune Squad is slowly getting their reunion together, Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus are still being held hostage in Swackhammer's secret laboratory, with no clue as to what has been happening to them and what Swackhammer plans to do with their powers when it comes to his latest basketball-themed scheme. Luckily, the Tune Squad is coming to the rescue as fast as they can — at the very least, with some extra help by their side.
What will happen to Sailor Moon and Sailor Uranus once they become aware of Swackhammer's nefarious scheme? Will the Tune Squad make it to Swackhammer's secret laboratory and rescue the two Sailor Guardians in time before their powers start to get drained away? How will they react when they notice that Sailor Mini-Moon and Sailor Saturn accompanied them for this part of the rescue mission? Well, as always, "Stay Tooned" for the next chapter to find out, folks!
