Hello everyone and welcome to Chapter 5 of "Yakko's Date."

Not gonna lie, but working on "The Hero, The God, and The Tearful Farewell" was tough on me as it took a lot of time having to re-research info on Dragon Ball Super just to write some of the fight scenes, but I won't spoil what happened in that story. What I WILL tell you, however, is that there's a scene which featured two of my characters which leads in to this chapter.

Now keep in mind that this chapter will give a proper introduction to the villain of this story as well as the return of Baloney and Plotz. What happens next is going to be surprising. Also, don't be surprised if the Warners don't appear in this much. This chapter doesn't have much to do with them.

Anyway, enjoy and prepare yourselves: There's a LOT of action scenes and some language from the OCs.

Chapter 5: Project "Rocky"

1958, South Jersey….

Somewhere in an undisclosed location (which for some reason appeared as a castle on top of a hill surrounded by thunderstorms), several scientists began bringing in a vat as another one in particular, wearing goggles faced a group of lawyers, animators, and for some reason, 2 individuals hiding in the back of the laboratory, as he announced "Gentlemen…."

A female lawyer cleared her throat somewhere in the group.

The scientist rolled his eyes before adding "…and lady. Look and BEHOLD: The ink that created the Warner Siblings!" The scientists who brought in the vat began to pour into a tube that connected to a chamber as the scientist continued "In the 1920, we humans created the Warners with the intent to make cartoons, but instead they were too insane to control and were locked up. Yet, here we are now, preparing to play god once more." Pulling out a bottle of bleach from seemingly out of nowhere, he announced "I will attempt to use the ink to create a toon that's perfectly normal, and to make sure nothing goes wrong I will add bleach to it." The entire group seemed skeptical of it, as one of the two individuals in the back whispered to the other "Meh, what do you think doc? Too screwy to work?" The first, obviously Bugs Bunny asked the other as he began chewing on a carrot.

The other, a black mouse with red pants, yellow shoes, and white gloves, replied "Pretty much, ha ha."

As they spoke, the scientists stopped pouring the ink into the container as the one with the goggles began to pour some bleach into the container before stopping as he closed the bottle of bleach and threw it into a random corner. He then stated "And now, for the final ingredient: My own saliva." Everyone quickly became disgusted as the scientist with goggles spit into the tube, yet began fighting with the tube in an attempt to get it inside for several minutes before it finally did. "There, finally" he muttered, as he pulled the tube out before using a cork to close it. "And now, gentlemen and lady, watch as these ingredients create the perfect toon!"

Inside the container, rattling began to occur, as it began to shake violently. "Yes" the scientist said, looking on with excitement before shouting "YES" as a large hand shaped like an anvil suddenly punched right through the chamber. The audience began stepping back in fear while a toon began to rip through the steel while the scientist announced "GENTLEMEN….and lady….BEHOLD! My toon is born!" Looking at the toon who would be known as Rocky emerge without the crystals on his shoulders, the scientist announced "He is perfect. I shall call him 'Rocky' and he will be the first of many toons ever created by Warner Brothers and Disney to make us rich beyond belief." The scientist threw his head back and laughed as Rocky began to take his environment into consideration before stating "No."

The scientist stopped laughing.

Rocky, turning both of his hands into anvils, announced "You worthless humans think you deserve the joy of laughter. Instead, you deserve to suffer" as he began throwing his hands everywhere, destroying the entire laboratory while everyone began running for the exit while Bugs and his guest watched on as the scientist ran up to Rocky and said "Rocky, stop this. You will obey me. I am your master and you are my creation."

In return, Rocky simply grabbed him and threw him into the window that was conveniently built on the roof, as he crashed through it and was sent flying into the unknown while shouting "YOU ARE SO GROUNDED!"

Throwing the remains of his carrot away, Bugs got up and asked his guest "Shall we, Mickey?"

His guest, the legendary Mickey Mouse, sat up as he put on his infamous wizard hat from 'Fantasia' and replied "Ready when you are, Bugs."

2018, Acme Falls….

In the middle of the night, as Bugs slept, his cellphone rang. Bugs forced one of his eyes open as he slowly reached over to his phone before answering "Meh, what's up doc?"

"Hello, Bugs, ha ha."

Bugs, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, sat up and asked "Mickey? It's been a long time. I haven't heard from you since 1988. How have you been?" Bugs listened in as Mickey replied over the phone "Bugs, I wish I was calling you on better terms, but I have bad news: Rocky has escaped."

Bugs almost dropped the phone, yet asked "How long ago?" Mickey cleared his throat before replying "Not more than an hour ago, but from what I've heard there's more problems rising up. Apparently, Rocky took some of your old friends with him: Thaddeus Plotz and Baloney." Bugs sighed, using a free hand to rub his temple as he proceeded to get out of bed, but Mickey soon added "Oh, and there's one more thing. It seems someone got to us first before we could cover it up." Bugs, walking to his closet to grab a bag of travel clothes, asked "Who is it, doc?" Mickey shuddered before replying "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but from what I found out: That alien you told me who Slappy thinks is a toon, well he hasn't shown up but it turns out he has a sister, and she's there right now with some human." Bugs stops and blinks in confusion as Mickey continued "Don't worry. I have someone keeping an eye on things, but if they find out too much we'll have to intervene."

As Mickey spoke this, Bugs had already walked out the front door of his mansion, locked the door, and began his long tunneling journey towards Florida.

Meanwhile, in Downtown Miami, two individuals arrived at the sight of the destroyed bank while it was surrounded by police officers and "Caution" tape.

The first one, a human in his 50's wearing a black shirt and jeans with a brown trench coat, while a Winchester rifle was worn going over his shoulder and a sword sheathed to his left side, both with mysterious markings, walked up to the officers and told them "Evening officers." The police officers stationed there simply nodded before letting him and the second induvial, a humanoid pink bird wearing a white shirt and blue jeans while carrying a brown duffel bag. One of the officers looked at the two while asking "Hey, why are we letting them through? Far as I know, they ain't cops." Another one, raising an eyebrow, replied "No, but from what I've heard, they're from Big's family and they're the best at dealing with stuff like this." The other cops nearby gulped, fully aware of who Big was and what he and his family could do to anyone.

Especially to those who would hurt the innocent.

Meanwhile, once inside, the human named Carlos looked around and noticed untouched dust before stating "What a dump. This place doesn't look like it's been in use for some time." The other one, an alien named Little, looked at him and asked "What gave that away? The awful smell, the dust, or all of the above?" Turning to Little, Carlos simply raised an eyebrow before Little gave a small chuckle and said "I'm kidding. I can throw jokes around too, you know." This time, Carlos gave a small laugh before Little added "Also, remember to put your mask on. We don't want you getting sick again." Carlos rolled his eyes and sarcastically said "Yes, mom" before taking out of his pocket a blue surgical mask and putting it on over his mouth and nose.

The two soon noticed the open vault, the door on the floor in the direction of outside while dents were noticeable as Little asked "Here's a good question: Why would an old bank need a vault for? Wouldn't it have been emptied out and transferred?" Carlos nodded while replying "Technically yes, but emptying a vault and tearing down the door are two different things. In this case, whatever was inside wanted out" before the two walked closer to the vault itself and took a look inside. Carlos soon asked "Here's a better question: Who the hell uses an old bank as a prison?"

To their surprise, inside the vault wasn't money but a makeshift prison with several small empty cells and a destroyed cannister, seemingly ripped from the inside. Two of the cells, in fact, had their doors ripped open, one of them featuring uncuffed chains and a sign stating "Do Not Come Within 10 Feet."

"Who in god's name would do this?" Carlos muttered before realizing "And why is this room bigger than the bank itself?" Going inside and looking around, Little muttered "It's just like the Doctor's Tardis: Everything's bigger on the inside. Only problem is this doesn't look like advanced alien technology from another dimension." Taking a moment to sniff, Little soon added "Doesn't smell like it either. In fact…" Little stopped taking another sniff before adding "It smells like ink." Stepping inside as well, Carlos took a look around while stating "You raise a good point. There's no way this is alien; it looks too human. Plus, if this were from another dimension, there would have been signs of a tear in the multiverse decades ago, not months. All of this can only lead to one possible theory." Turning to Carlos, Little asked "Those would be…?" Taking one more look around, Carlos turned to Little and replied "Right now, someone's bending space and time in our dimension and using it to capture people, but who?"

Little shook her head, not sure herself, before stating "Maybe we should get some samples to analyze, just to be safe." Carlos tapped his forehead with a single finger before pointing to Little and stating "Good idea. Maybe there's a clue somewhere here that can tell us about our missing prisoners."

Meanwhile, the cops outside continued to guard the scene when two suspicious men wearing black suits, jackets, and sunglasses appeared. One of them apparently holding a suitcase. One of the officers noticed them and rushed forward, raising a hand towards them and stated "Stop right there. This is an active police investigation." The man carrying a suitcase, however, removed from his pocket a wallet and revealed something to the responding officer, stating "Sir, we're with the Department of Bank Safety. Move out of our way or we'll have to report you and your entire squad to the President." The cops began to back away, the responding officer asking "The President? You mean the President of THE United States of America?" They both nodded as the cops moved aside while the two men in black suits walked past them, the one with the briefcase hiding his wallet.

None of them noticed, however, that something was rather off about them. In particular, how different of a shade of color they were.

Having found a sign on one of the open cells, Little read the name "Thaddeus Plotz" on it and seemed confused. "Hey Carlos" she announced, turning to him apparently removing what looked like a piece of black slime from the container. Turning to Little, Carlos heard her say "We have a name of one of the prisoners: Thaddeus Plotz" yet he seemed a bit confused, asking himself "Plotz? Where have I heard that name before?" He shook his open thought away, telling Little "Well, I have some kind of sample from whatever broke out of here. Something very weird about it, though." Little began to walk towards him, as Carlos told her "If I didn't know better, either whatever broke out of here was some kind of alien, mutation, or some kind of unregistered species." Little crossed her arms while asking him "What do you think?" Carlos could only shrug his shoulders before replying "Honestly, I don't know, but I will tell you this: It's getting weirder and weirder with each new clue we find."

"Hold it right there!"

Carlos and Little soon turned to the door, finding the two men in suits as the one with the suitcase announced "We're with the Department of Bank Safety. Stop what you're doing and hand over all evidence immediately." Carlos and Little looked at one another before they rose their eyebrows and crossed their eyebrows while Little asked "You two do know we were called in, correct?" The man with the briefcase, however, ignored her by stating "You two have no right nor any clearance of any kind to conduct any investigation. Now hand over all evidence you have and…." He stopped before opening his briefcase and revealing sheets of paper, announcing "You two have to sign these Non-Disclosure papers which states you will not speak of anything that has occurred inside this building AT ALL. Failure to do so will result in your immediate arrest and transfer to our maximum prison."

Carlos and Little looked at each other once more before they threw their heads back and laughed.

"What's so funny?" The man with the suitcase asked, apparently upset as Carlos stopped laughing to reply "YE-No, that's not happening and that's for several reasons. For one, there is NO Department of Bank Safety." The two men began to sweat, Little beginning to notice something rather odd about them as Carlos continued "In fact, the safety of banks either falls on the banks themselves or depending on the severity of the situation, either the state itself or the FBI handle the situation. Also, by pretending to be of any official involved in a police investigation, even one as weird as this, IS illegal SIRS." Carlos ended that sentence by nearly hissing those word before adding "And by demanding us to sign off on some bogus Non-Disclosure agreements, you are not only interfering in our ability to determine just what happened here, you are breaking the law." Carlos finally ended his rant, his eyes becoming filled with rage, by stating "Oh, and finally, in case you don't know or you're just not aware, our family deals with any supernatural and/or paranormal events that occur either in or out of Miami, and for any bank that has a prison built with this much space inside a vault INSIDE a bank no less, that seems a bit strange, don't you think?"

By the time Carlos finished, they had suddenly disappeared, gone as if there was almost no evidence of them leaving except for the scorch marks on the floor.

"Huh?" Carlos asked himself, yet Little stated "Looks like they didn't like the idea of being outsmarted, but there was something very off about them." Carlos asked "Like what?" as Little replied "They smelled like ink."

Some time later, as Carlos and Little left with samples to analyze, the two men in black simply watched from the shadows as they left. "Oh, this is bad" the man with the suitcase stated while his silent partner simply began to shake. Pulling out a cellphone, the man with the briefcase began to call a number while muttering "The boss will not like this" as the phone rang.

"Hello, ha ha?"

"Good evening, Mr. Mouse" he stated before adding "We have another problem. It seems the human and 'thing' with him took samples from the secret toon prison. I think they're about to learn the truth."

What happened next was a series of curses never imagined from Mickey Mouse directed at both of them, the words too vulgar to put on this screen before he finally began to calm down several minutes later by stating "Now listen here you two and listen carefully: Bugs Bunny and myself are on our way to deal with the situation. While we're doing so, the two of you HAVE to repair the building and get out of town immediately. Do. You. Understand?" The silent one nodded while the other replied "Yes sir." On the other end, Mickey mouthed off "GOOD" before hanging up on them. "Oh, this is really bad" The man with the briefcase stated, while adding "Bugs Bunny is on his way here, and so is the boss. Rocky being out was bad, but this is worse." The silent one nodded, as the man with the suitcase began to pull out from his briefcase a full body suit, a hula costume, and a large paintbrush before taking a deep breath and stating "Well, here we go again."

At the same time, watching Carlos and Little leave, Plotz watched on from the rooftop of a building while Baloney began drawing on discarded paper plates and Rocky simply sat there, seemingly uninterested. "This is not the same world I was stripped away from" Plotz muttered, as he turned to Rocky and asked "What's going on? I thought toons were supposed to be separate from humans and either in Burbank or in Disney World." Rocky, however, rolled his eyes, as he replied "We've missed a lot in those years, Plotz. As far as I know, though, she might look like a toon but…" Rocky got to his feet and took in a deep sniff before announcing "She isn't a toon. Not at all."

Plotz seemed confused, asking out loud "How exactly does one look like a toon but isn't one?" Rocky simply shrugged his shoulders as he noticed how the cops were suddenly entranced by a hula dancer while another individual began to paint over the damage caused by Rocky. "Clever little toons" he muttered, before returning to the floor as he sat down and announced "For now, we'll wait. Then, once Bugs and Mickey show up, it's showtime." Plotz raised an eyebrow, as they suddenly heard Baloney announce "Does that mean we'll be making some new friends soon?" Both Plotz and Rocky groaned before Rocky replied "Yes Baloney, real soon" before muttering to himself "Why didn't I leave him there?"

Inside a private military base, Carlos looked through a microscope inside a laboratory while Little was nearby, leaning on a table while reading notes off a clipboard, as she said "So according to this, Thaddeus Plotz was the CEO of Warner Brothers until he disappeared in 1999, following the release of some film called "Wakko's Wish" and the cancelation of some show called "Animaniacs". No one knows why though, but according to rumors and get this: he was captured by toons and hidden away." Little began to chuckle at the notion, asking him "Can you believe this nonsense: Toons being real?", yet when Carlos turned to her his face was a mixture of grim and confusion as he said "I'm not so sure about that being nonsense. I've been looking at the samples we got from the bank and it makes even less sense than I thought possible." Raising an eyebrow, Little asked "How so?" Carlos sighed before stating "Basically, the sample I obtained is tainted ink." Little, confused, asked "Tainted ink?" as Carlos nodded while stating "Simply put: most of the samples we got from the bank were ink, yet the sample we got from the destroyed cannister was ink with unknown substances." Taking the remainder of the samples and putting them into a small case, Carlos stated "I'm going to have to do a more through scan to see just what we're dealing with, but something about this just seems confusing."

Taking the small case, Carlos opened a small metal door on the wall and placed the case in, closing it seconds later and locking it. His cell phone soon rung as Little asked "Expecting a phone call? Maybe from Sara, perhaps?" Carlos blushed, yet turned away as he said "I don't know what you're talking about." Little raised an eyebrow, yet said "Ok, whatever then" as Carlos answered his phone "Yes, hello?...Wait, what?...WHAT?...ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Carlos hung up as he began running over to his rifle and sword, quickly putting them on. "Wait, what's going on?" Little asked, as Carlos replied "That was the police from the crime scene. Apparently, everything was just rebuilt in a matter of seconds." Little, surprised, said "That doesn't make sense. How is that possible unless…"

She stopped, realizing Carlos had figured it out.

"Little" Carlos began, as he said "I remember now. I remember why Plotz sounds so familiar, and I know what's going on."

By the time morning came around, the bank itself was repaired without any apparent damage. The officers, previously guarding the area, had long since left. The men in black that distracted them had long disappeared.

Inside, as the vault door is finished being re-painted back onto the wall, a hole is dug up inside the main lobby as Bugs pops out and pulls out his travel bag, setting it next to the hole. "What's up, docs?" Bugs announced, as everyone inside the building turned to face him while he jumped out of the hole. "Welcome to Miami, Mr. Bunny" one of the employees announced, as Bugs pulled out a carrot of his toon space and took a bite out of it while whistling and looking around. "Nice jobs docs" Bugs said, as someone began painting the Warner Brothers logo next to the Disney one.

"Hello Bugs"

Turning around, Bugs found himself face to face with Mickey Mouse.

"Mickey Mouse" Bugs announced, adding "It's been a long time. How have you been?" Mickey gave a laugh before replying "Oh well, you know me Bugs, ha ha. New redesigns, new shows for kids and toddlers, new movies and we're still capitalizing on Marvel and Star Wars. Shame about Stan Lee, though." Mickey and Bugs brought their heads down for a moment of silence.

Meanwhile, somewhere outside, Rocky smiled as he could feel that Bugs and Mickey were together. Turning one of his hands into a bomb, he began to stretch it down towards the building while stating "It's time."

For Bugs and Mickey, their moment of silence ended when the front of the building suddenly exploded, sending people flying up against the other side of the building while Bugs and Mickey jumped into Bugs' previously made hole.

Up in the sky, as she began to fly back in the direction of the bank, Little noticed the cloud of smoke emanating from the area. "Looks like the prisoners are still here", she hissed before adding "Whatever we're dealing with wasn't trying to leave. It was setting a trap for the captors."

Little began to speed up towards the area, while at the same time in the streets a grey van began driving towards the area, Carlos at the wheel.

"So much for the insurance" Bugs muttered, climbing out of the hole as he began to see the destruction caused by the attack. As Mickey climbed out, he also looked around and pouted before stating "Minnie's gonna kill me. Donald probably too." Bugs nodded his head before suddenly pushing Mickey out of the way as an outstretched arm attempted to hit them, the hand replaced by an anvil.

"An outstretched arm?" Bugs asks himself.

"An anvil?" Mickey asked, apparently noticing this.

As the arm slammed into the wall once more, creating a hole, Bugs and Mickey crawled back while the arm recoiled back towards its source, disappearing in a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Was that Rocky?" Mickey thought out loud as the cloud disappeared, Rocky walking through the remains of the destroyed building. "Rocky, you're looking…." Bugs began, yet raised an eyebrow as he added "A bit different. When did you start watching those cheap Japanese monster movies from the 90's?"

At that same moment, somewhere in the oceans of Japan, one of the eyes of Godzilla began to open. Someone had dared to insult the king, and god help you if you angered the king.

Meanwhile, Rocky's right hand reshapes itself back into a hand as he crosses his arms and replies "Oh aren't you full of jokes today. It's been a long time Bugs and Mickey. Once upon a time, I was created to bring joy to the world, yet this world doesn't deserve such happiness. It's a sick world run by sick people, and we toons are the cure." Bugs and Mickey raise an eyebrow, confused, as Rocky continued "We toons are perfect in the best ways possible. We can reshape the world however we want and break the laws of physics without any repercussions whatsoever. We can reshape our bodies and live for years longer than any human ever possibly could." Mickey, however, coughed out the words "Bugsy couldn't", yet Rocky could only ask "What's a Bugsy?" before continuing on "Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: We toons are the one race of beings that can save the world by simply making humans either our slaves or…." Rocky stopped, before a dark grin appeared on his face as he added "We make them disposable."

"You're talking insanity, Rocky" Mickey stated, as he added "We're toons. We were created to bring laughter and joy to people, not death and destruction. We don't start wars with humans no matter what." Rocky, in turn, begins to change both of his hands into anvils as he states "Well maybe it's time we did. It's time humans understood WE are the superior race and it is OUR time." Leaning over to Mickey, Bugs whispered "Me thinks he lost it" while Mickey turned to him and said "I think he lost it a long time ago, ha ha." Rocky, however, began to show a vein on his forehead as he shouted "I'M NOT CRAZY" before he began to outstretch his arms and launched them at Bugs and Mickey, the former of which ducked down while the latter rolled out of the way as the anvils slammed into the walls once again.

Hearing the sounds emanating from the remains of the now-re-destroyed bank, Plotz tapped his foot on the floor impatiently while Baloney began pacing back and forth, a paper plate turned mask in hand, while wondering "Gee Mr. Plotz, what is our new friendly friend friend doing in there? It sure sounds loud." Plotz groaned, wondering to himself "Why did I get stuck with him?" while Baloney placed the mask over his face and told Plotz "I know, let's play the mask game." Plotz could only groan as Baloney began to dance around him while singing "I put on a mask, looky looky loo. I put on a mask…"

Baloney never finished, as the sound of a SWOSH was heard.

The very next second, Baloney was caught by Little and flown away from Plotz while a grey van pulled up and stopped, Carlos exiting the vehicle with a handgun aimed at Plotz. "Oh thank you kind sir" Plotz said, attempting to feign kindness as he added "That terrible monster was tormenting me with it's terrible singing and kept me imprisoned for over 20 years. Please help me get home. My family must be so sick and worried."

Carlos, however, noticed something a bit 'off' about Plotz as he said "Thaddeus Plotz, correct?" Plotz nodded, as Carlos continued "THE Thaddeus Plotz, missing CEO of Warner Brothers?" Plotz nods yet again as he replies "That is correct. Now please, can you help me get home?" Carlos, however, kept his gun pointed at him as he said "Before that, there's something I need to know though: How is it you look the same after 20+ years?" Plotz was apparently taken aback, not sure how to answer it before Carlos added "Fun little fact: you look the exact same as you did in the 90's cartoon 'Animaniacs.' So tell me, how is that possible?" Plotz began to sweat while tugging on his prison uniform.

At the same time, Little began flying Baloney up into the air, holding him by his back, while he began to laugh, looking up to say "Oh hi new friendly friend, what's your name?" Little, narrowing her eyes, replied "Don't tempt me to drop you" as Baloney suddenly tried to stretch his arms out and grabbed Little's left arm. Attempting to shake him off, Little shouted "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? GET OFF!" Baloney, however, ignored her as he laughed while fully grabbing Little's arm and forcing her to turn her entire body around, allowing Baloney to envelop her in a hug. "Something tells me my new friendly friend needs a hug." He announced, as he began to squeeze while trapping Little's arms in the hug. In turn, Little began to groan while stopping mid-flight and attempted to escape. "Aw, don't be like that new friend" Baloney said, pouting as he added "Everyone knows hugs make everything better."

BANG

Suddenly, a miniaturized explosion went off on Baloney's face, forcing him to release Little as she muttered "Thank you Carlos" while the two began to plummet towards the ground.

At the same time, Carlos smiled, apparently having pocketed his gun in favor of his Winchester rifle which had been aimed at Baloney.

At that moment, Little spun her body in a complete 360 before slamming her feet onto Baloney's chest and forcing them both to crash onto the ground, a large crater left as a result.

"Looks like he's done" Carlos said, watching as Little flew out of the crater before turning towards Plotz and said "Now it's your turn" before another crashing sound was heard, as a body flew out of the remnants of the bank.

As that fight scene occurred…

"Will you two just give up?" Rocky demanded, throwing his arms forward again while his hands, still in the form of anvils, were constantly hitting everything except their intended target as Bugs pulled out a mallet from his hammer space and began swatting them away, yet each one would hit a wall either to their left of right, causing more damage. Meanwhile, Mickey began to re-enter Bugs' rabbit hole, claiming he had "an ace up his sleeve."

"Meh, sorry mac" Bugs replied, continuously swing away as he added "Not interested in turning evil" while Rocky simply raised an eyebrow and said "Then I guess I'll have to make you change your mind" as the anvils suddenly changed their shape, becoming outstretched hands as they reached over towards Bugs.

However, to Rocky's surprise, chunks of the entire building began flying up into the air and hitting him piece after piece. "Ow, stop that" Rocky demanded, yet he couldn't tell just who was doing it before looking up and noticing a chandelier, Mickey on it and dressed in a red robe with a large blue hat. "Aw, not that again" Rocky muttered, as Mickey began waving his hands once more, directing flying debris towards Rocky who was forced to use his outstretched hands to now defend himself.

As for Bugs, putting his mallet back into his toon space, he pulled out in its place a rather large outstretched bat while dressing himself as a baseball player. "Now hitting for the toons, Bugs Bunny" Mickey announced, as Bugs spit in his hands and rubbed them together before grabbing the bat's handle and announcing "Batter up" as Rocky took noticed of this and said "Oh, you've got to be…"

He never finished, Bugs sending him flying outside where another battle was taking place.

Dropping down from the chandelier, Mickey quickly discarded his clothes in favor for what was underneath them: a black jacket with a black undershirt, red pants and his signature yellow shoes while now wielding the Star Seeker Keyblade. "You really think that's gonna be necessary, doc?" Bugs asked him, returning his bat and baseball uniform back into his toon space, as Mickey replied "Well, I didn't have it with us last time Bugs, ha ha. This time it should go a little easier."

Following Bugs outside to face Rocky, neither he nor Bugs had any idea just how wrong they were.

Sitting up, Rocky began shrinking his hands back down to a regular size as he shook his head and said "I hate it when he does that."

"My new friend plays rough"

Rocky groaned as he turned to his left and noticed Baloney walking towards him, a hand on his gut and the other holding the back of his head. "Oh, not you again" he muttered as Baloney asks "Can we play now?" Rocky was prepared to send him off when he stopped and began to give off a rather large evil smile, as he replied "Of course we can Baloney. In fact, I have the perfect game for us to play." Baloney, excited, began to jump up and down as he asked "Oh really? That's neato-completo. So what's it gonna be, hmm? Is it musical chairs? The pretend game? Hide and seek?" Rocky shakes his head before replying "Nope. We're gonna play a new game I just made up. It's called: Evolution!"

"It's over Rocky" Bugs announced, as he and Mickey exited the bank and began to walk towards the two. Rocky, however, didn't seem worried. In fact, he seemed calm.

"You asked before why I look a bit different than last time" Rocky stated, as he then said "Well, allow me to show you." He suddenly motioned to his right hand as the fingers changed to that of tentacles that slowly began to encircle Baloney. Surprised, Baloney asks "Hey, what are you doi…" yet he never finished as his mouth was tied shut while the remainder of his body was covered in tentacles before Rocky's right arm began to encase Baloney completely. "Sorry, couldn't hear you" Rocky stated sarcastically, as Bugs and Mickey could hear Baloney moaning for a few seconds before it became silent.

"Rocky, what are you doing to him?" Bugs asked, as Rocky simply smiled before replying "A lot of time has passed since we last saw each other, Bugs. I still remember what happened 60 years ago…"

Flashback to 1958…

Continuing where the chapter began, Rocky continued to lay waist to the lab before suddenly finding himself being trapped in chains. "Wha…what is this?" Rocky exclaimed before looking up and seeing Mickey in his costume from 'Fantasia', as Rocky growled before Bugs suddenly appeared dressed as an animal hunter and said in an Australian accent "Looks like this one's a fighter. Better lock him up." Grabbing Rocky in a comedic manner, Bugs threw Rocky back into his container before he and Mickey, in toon speed, quickly changed their clothes into that of mechanics, quickly repairing the holes on the container before covering it in extra chains.

Smiling, the two toons shook hands.

Meanwhile, inside the container, Rocky screamed in rage as he shouted "I'LL GET YOU TWO! I SWEAR! DO YOU HEAR ME? I'LL GET YOU BOTH AND YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU BOTH DESERVE!"

As he shouted, Rocky didn't notice at first the two small crystals forming on his shoulders.

Present, 2018….

"…..For 60 years, I was trapped in that container and each year the anger got worse. That anger, over time, it changed me. It made me stronger and more dangerous than ever, but that wasn't the best part. See, the best part was that my anger made me evolve."

As Rocky said this, his arm began to uncoil, as a sound inside began to growl.

"And the 2nd best part is that I can do the same to other toons" Rocky finished, an evil grin on his face as his arm finished uncoiling, revealing a tied-up Baloney now with a much darker skin tone and glowing yellow eyes. His smiling demeanor now gone, Baloney's mouth now spouted sharp teeth. Bugs and Mickey could only look on as Rocky's hand began to finish releasing Baloney.

At the same time, Carlos and Little looked on as she landed on the ground next to him. "Carlos, what is going on?" she asked him, yet Carlos couldn't look at her, he in shock, as he replied "It's what I feared couldn't be true, yet it is. The irredeemable truth that has been staring at us the whole time yet neither one of us ever considered it to be a possibility." Turning to face her, Carlos finally muttered "Toons are real." Little lightly nodded, yet turned around to see Plotz starting to lightly walk away. "Oh, no you don't" she announced, quickly running up to him and grabbing his collar. Forcing him to turn around, she demanded "Start explaining. NOW!"

"Baloney, sick 'em" Rocky announced, as Baloney roared before charging at Bugs and Mickey.

"Oh crud" they both muttered, as Mickey brought up his Keyblade to protect them from Baloney it was caught in between his teeth and pushed him back. Bugs, attempting to help, grabbed Mickey from behind in an attempt to push back yet instead the two were pushed forward towards the remains of the wall, crashing into it as Baloney pushed forward and began to increase the size of his mouth in a bid to eat them. "Impressed yet?" Rocky announced, as he simply watched on while Bugs and Mickey struggled while stating "I had to decrease his IQ and his ability to talk, yet in turn increased his aggression. Nice, isn't it?"

"Meh, something tells me we're gonna need a little help" Bugs groaned, as Baloney's mouth continued to increase until Mickey could no longer stop him from pushing back.

BANG

Being shot yet again, Baloney was sent flying a few feet aside, a small bruise on his head. Turning to the direction of the attack and found Carlos aiming his Winchester rifle at Baloney.

"Now what's this?" Rocky suddenly announced, turning his attention to the human, as he asked "A human with a gun? Do you think that scares me? Do you think I'm threatened by some pathetic with only one life to live and is as fragile as a piece of glass?" Carlos, however, narrows his eyes as he replies "Probably not. After all, I'm just a human with magical weapons. As for my daughter, however…." Carlos trails off, as Rocky suddenly found himself being punched by an unsuspecting attack from Little, sending him flying into a rising Baloney, slamming into him and knocking him back down. Carlos smiled, as he added "…she's all magic and all alien."

By that point, Rocky and Baloney both began to stand up, both beginning to growl in anger as Little landed next to Carlos and cracked her knuckles, as she stated "If you're not scared of him, you should be of me." Suddenly turning her attention to Bugs and Mickey, Little raised an eyebrow and said "This isn't even one of the weirdest things I've ever seen and yet this should be in the Top 5." Turning to the non-toons, Rocky pointed to them and announced "You two are about to pay a horrible price. Baloney, sick 'em." Baloney roared as he charged towards Carlos and Little while he turned to Bugs and Mickey, announcing "As for you too, it's time for me to show you what else I've learned to do."

"The first turn's mine" Little announced as she rushed towards Baloney while Carlos pouted and muttered "Aw man, I wanted to go first" before swinging his rifle back over his shoulder and unsheathing his sword.

Grappling with Baloney, Little began to push him back before letting him go and began to punch his gut several times, each one only causing the toon dinosaur to growl angrier as Little jumped up and swung fist onto Baloney's forehead, forcing him to fall onto the ground yet he quickly began to get up. As he did, though, Little span once more and kicked Baloney a few feet away into an abandoned car. Smirking, Little asked "Had enough?", yet Baloney just began to get up once again. Turning to Carlos, she walked to him and raised a hand, stating "Your turn."

His sword fully drawn, Carlos slapped Little's hand as he charged Baloney, who roared in rage and charged towards the human. In turn, Carlos swung the blade towards Baloney and struck his chest, causing sparks to appear from the attack as Baloney roared in pain and backed away. "Looks like magic weapons CAN hurt toons, huh?" Carlos asked, as Baloney noticed the would on his chest before he suddenly grinned and motioned towards his wounds. Looking in the direction Baloney stared, Carlos looked down and realized it that as Baloney groaned, then roared, in pain the wound began to heal. "Well…" Carlos said, surprised before stating "This feels like it's the 3rd time this year I've dealt with someone who can self-regenerate wounds."

As Baloney's wounds finished up healing, he began to increase the size of his head and mouth as he began to open wide and prepared to try and eat Carlos. However, as he attempted to close his mouth, Baloney found his mouth wouldn't as he noticed Little's arms outstretched and grabbing Baloney's jaws. "Nice try" Little said as she added "But you are not eating my family." Nodding to Carlos, Little asked "How about you give him a little indigestion?" as Carlos nodded before using a free hand to redraw his rife and aimed into Baloney's mouth, firing a few rounds into his throat before Little lifted Baloney up and threw him into the air. The two then watched on as Baloney roared one last time before he exploded, surrounded in a cartoon-like cloud before his body began to fall onto the ground.

"Nice shot" Little said, as Carlos told her "Nice throw" before reheating his sword.

"WHY CAN'T…"Rocky shouted, as his hands became wrecking balls and he began to swing them towards Bugs and Mickey, the latter who began to swing his Keyblade in an attempt to block the attacks, while Bugs pulled his mallet out of his toon space and began swinging away as well, both of them continuing to deflect Rocky's attacks while he shouted "YOU BOTH JUST GO DOWN?"

"AGAIN: NOT INTERESTED" Both Bugs and Mickey shouted, continuing to deflect Rocky's attacks while Bugs told Mickey "I've got an idea, mac. Give me a few seconds." Mickey turned to Bugs and asked "What did you have in mind?", yet Bugs could only wink as he threw his mallet back into his toon space before began spinning around before digging a hole and disappearing into it.

"JUST GIVE UP AND JOIN ME" Rocky shouted once again, as Mickey finally rolled out of the way and pointed his Keyblade at Rocky, firing a ball of light at Rocky's face which temporarily blinded him. "ARG" Rocky growled, as he suddenly felt a jolt and found himself being flown into a large magnet, his hands becoming stuck in the process. "AW, COME ON" Rocky shouted, enraged, as he asked "What kind of nonsense…"

He stopped, realizing his hands still in the form of wrecking balls stuck to the magnet as Bugs laid back on it while eating a carrot. "Seriously?" he muttered, as Bugs took a bite out of his carrot and says "Ain't I a stinker, doc?" with a smile on his face while he began to grab Rocky's arms and tie them to the giant magnet. "Looks like this is all wrapped up" Mickey announced as he walked towards Bugs, who finished by wrapping Rocky's arms into that of a bowtie before saying "And you are ready to go back to lock up" yet as Bugs soon turned to the individuals that were not toons, he said to Mickey "There's still one last loose end to tie up, doc. There's still those two to take care of." Mickey sighed, as he said "Much as I'm going to hate doing this, we've got to keep our secret alive."

As Bugs and Mickey began to approach Carlos and Little, Rocky growled as his hands began to turn back to normal while he muttered "Ok you two, that's it. No more mister nice toon. Now, we do this by force." As such, while Bugs and Mickey were preoccupied, Rocky began to use his outstretch his hands in an attempt to untie himself.

As Carlos and Little turned around to see Bugs and Mickey approach them, Carlos couldn't help but whisper to Little "I can't believe it. THE Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are real, AND here in front of us. This has to be one of the coolest things that has ever happened to us." Little, however, wasn't so certain as she told him "Carlos, I don't think they have any interest in giving you an autograph. Or even a thank you for that matter." Snorting such an idea, Carlos turns to Little and says "Oh, come on Little. It's THE Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, 2 legends from the world of cartoons that defined their generations." Suddenly noticing Mickey prepare to use his Keyblade, Little suddenly asked Carlos "Then why does it look like the mouse is about to attack us?" Carlos raised an eyebrow as he stated "Little, come on. I get toons inflict injury to others when physically provoked, but they don't usually…"

Suddenly, Mickey fired a ball of light at Little, who forced herself to jump back while Carlos looked wide eyes as he told himself "Ok, I was wrong." He soon saw Mickey charge him, as Carlos drew his sword and blocked Mickey's attack, announcing "I was very wrong!" Mickey continued to attack Carlos, swinging his Keyblade while Carlos began dodging his attacks left and right while adding "Toons are not cheerful! They are very angry, evil, little bastards!" The Keyblade soon struck Carlos' left shoulder, causing him to back off and use his right hand currently holding his sword to cover his shoulder in pain while Mickey gave a stern face and said "That language is unacceptable, sir. As an adult, you should know better than that." Groaning in pain, Carlos took a step back as he said "And as a toon, I thought you only fight if provoked. Instead, you're actually throwing the first punch. That's not the Mickey Mouse everyone knows." Mickey, instead, pointed his Keyblade at Carlos and said "Unfortunately, you and your female toon are too dangerous to be here and to tell anyone about us. So, the only way to protect our kind is to take her away and keep you quiet about it." Unfortunately for Mickey, Carlos began to growl as he pointed his sword and said "You know what? I don't give a damn if you're a toon but you won't kill me today because I'm fighting to protect my family and everyone in this city. And, as far as Little is concerned: She's is NOT a toon. She is MY DAUGHTER!" Carlos soon ran towards Mickey and swung away, Mickey blocking with his Keyblade as the two weapons clashed and sparked as a result.

At the same time, Little had already dodged Mickey's attack and prepared to fly towards him only to suddenly find herself being tied up with rope. "Huh? What is this?" she asked, only to look down and found Bugs tying the rope to a fire hydrant as he soon noticed the rope tugging. "Meh, looks like she noticed" Bugs said towards the reader. Looking up, Bugs then saw an upset Little, as he asked "What's up, doll?" Narrowing her eyes, Little replied by stating "You know what, I'm not gonna regret hurting you" as she began to flex her muscles in an attempt to break the rope, yet try as she might it would not break. Grunting as she continued to try, Bugs simply leaned on the fire hydrant and pulled out a carrot from his toon space, telling her "Nice try doll, but you ain't gonna get out of that anytime soon. Toon rope straight from the Acme Corporation." Little soon stopped struggling, as her feet grabbed the rope while she told Bugs "Well, in that case…" She trailed off, yanking the rope forward as it caused the fire hydrant to be uprooted from the ground and hit Bugs with a surge of water, sending him flying into the air. As he did so, however, a kick to his face from Little sent him crashing back onto the ground.

As all this happened, Plotz found himself handcuffed to a light pole all the while wondering "Won't someone please get me out of here?"

The sound of growling answered his question as he turned to find Baloney, bruised yet healing, coming towards him.

Plotz' eyes went wide as he muttered "Oh no" and just as quickly closed them, expecting the worse, yet instead Baloney went towards the cuffs and used his teeth to bite them off. Plotz could only watch on as Baloney spit their remains out of his mouth while he took a step back and quietly said "Um…thank you…Baloney." In turn, Baloney said nothing but gave a low growl of approval.

They both soon noticed Rocky had managed to free himself and enlarged his hands as they began to stretch towards Bugs and Mickey.

SPLAT

That was the sound Bugs made when he hit the ground.

SLASH

That was the sound made when Carlos managed to cut Mickey's shirt before he backed away and towards Bugs.

Once Little landed, Carlos proceeded towards her as he helped her out of the toon rope. "You ok?" Carlos asked her, as Little nodded before asking him "How about you? Your shoulder looks awful." Carlos could only grunt as he looked at it.

His shoulder was bleeding.

"You ok Bugs?" Mickey asked, as Bugs sat up and shook his head before replying "I've been worse. Plus, that girl's got a good kick."

"Are you two done yet?"

Bugs and Mickey turned to Carlos and Little, the latter having said that while the former was panting, trying to hold his shoulder as he said "This has to stop now. We don't need to keep fighting each other." Once more pointing his Keyblade at them, Mickey states "I agree: We can stop this right now, but you both have to agree to surrender yourselves to Toon Justice. We can't risk anyone outside of Burbank knowing about us. Heck, we already let that Joel Hodgson know, but he agreed to keep it a secret." Grinding her teeth, Little soon asked "Toon Justice? You call this justice?" She soon pointed out the damage in the area, announcing "This isn't justice! This is destruction that your kind caused just because you imprisoned members of your own kind and your need to keep toons as far from humans as possible. Do you want to know what that's done? Let me give you a hint: It's god-d**m-2018! We live in a world where humans live with monsters, mutations, and aliens. Hell, we can even marry other species, yet your kind thinks their better off staying hidden as far away from humans as possible, only existing in cartoons or comic books. So answer me this: Is that even living?"

Bugs prepared to open his mouth, yet Carlos cut him off, stating "Maybe the two of you should consider if it's time to start living with humans instead of keeping yourselves separated."

For the first time in this entire chapter, Bugs and Mickey said nothing. Instead, they just looked at each other and considered these words carefully.

Rocky, however, had other plans as his arms suddenly shot past Carlos and Little, grabbing Bugs and Mickey with his enlarged hands before pulling them towards him. Laughing out loud, Rocky announced "Oh, how I have been waiting for this day." Bugs and Mickey tried, yet as Mickey tried to point his Keyblade at Rocky, instead he began to notice how they were being brought to the crystals on his shoulders. "Rocky, what are you doing?" Bugs asked, still trying to get out yet it was no use: The constant battles of the day, plus the immediate travels they both took, finally wore them out as Rocky smiled before he replied "Oh I never did tell you what my new shoulders were for. Basically: They are for the both of you!"

To the horror of Carlos and Little, Rocky's crystals began to open up as they acted like a vacuum, sucking up Bugs and Mickey until they were trapped inside. As the crystals closed, Rocky laughed before announcing "I! HAVE! WON!" and started to undergo a change, finding his body surrounded in a dark glow. "What's he doing?" Little asked as Carlos replied "The same thing he did to that weird dinosaur: He's evolving."

Once the dark glow subsided, Carlos and Little looked at Rocky now wore a large black coat similar to members of Organization XIII with white gloves now on his hands, yet in his hands was Mickey's Kingdom Key D to his left, and Bugs' mallet to his right. His eyes now that of Bugs and his feet wearing Mickey's shoes. "At last" Rocky stated, adding "I am the ultimate toon." Hearing clapping, he turned to find Plotz applauding before taking a bow and stating "Yes, thank you. Thank you very much Plotz. If it wasn't for those idiots, we never would have met. Oh, I can't wait until we get to Burbank. Then the real fun will begin."

"HEY"

Hearing Carlos call him out, Rocky didn't bother to face him as Carlos attempted to reach his left arm over to grab his rifle, yet instead winched due to his shoulder injury. Little, on the other hand, cracked her knuckles, yet Rocky only said "You pitiful non-toons. You really think you can stop me, can't you? Yet, you can't. I now carry the power of two of the most respected toons of all time, and once I have what I want in Burbank, everything you know and love will change. I will take away everything you cherish and leave you with nothing but despair." Grabbing Plotz and placing a hand on Baloney, Rocky simply stated "Adieu fools, and farewell" before the three suddenly disappeared, gone due to Rocky's use of Bugs' toon speed.

"No" Carlos muttered before he dropped his sword and fell to the ground. "CARLOS" Little shouted, as she ran over to him to help him up, yet as she did she wondered "What did he mean about taking everything we love away?"

To Be Continued!

(Extra Segment)

"…And that's why the internet is just as good at finding stuff to watch as TV is" Yakko said, currently on a date with Minerva at the same café she would usually go for tea with Dot.

The two had decided on something small, eating a small meal before starting a discussion on which was better: TV or the internet. During the whole time, Minerva cupped her head as she listened to Yakko go on and on about how one affects the other, leading to…

"Hey, can we let the readers discover that for themselves?" Yakko asked the author, turning to the screen to do so.

Ok, fine.

Anyway, having a cup in hand, Yakko suddenly stopped, frozen in place as a chill went through his spine. Minerva had noticed this, asking "Yakko? Everything ok?", yet he didn't answer.

Instead, he simply dropped the cup onto the table as it's contents spilled over before muttering "Something terrible has happened."

Confused, Minerva tilted her head before Yakko quietly said "I don't know why, but something very bad is about to happen."

Yakko had no idea what was to come.

WOO! This took a while to finish, but this chapter is DONE!

First and foremost, Bugs and Mickey WILL return but not for a while. So, relax.

Second, Carlos and Little are 2 of my OCs, and I might bring them back for a later chapter (which will be Rocky's last, but we've still got a way to go for that). Hopefully, you enjoyed their appearance in this. If not, I do apologize (for the language as well).

Third, for those who read the beginning of the story, there's a character from another show that's hinted in this whole thing. If you know who it is, you might see him again in the epilogue. If you don't know, I'll tell you in the final chapter.

Finally, we've now got the ball rolling on the villain of the story. What this means for Yakko and Minerva will be revealed in a future chapter.

Anyway, I think this one was a BIT tense for an Animaniacs story, so next time I'll try to make it a bit funny before Rocky comes to Burbank. That being said, here's a hint for the next chapter:

HEY, KOOL AID!

Until then….
