A/N: Hello. I apologize fir these chapters arriving late, but I got a bit sidetracked. The important thing is, they are finally here. And also, seeing as Tom, Jerry, and Robyn are included and we all know what happened to Kobe, my friend bconfer368 suggested that I have them use either the sane pose or the same signature move as the late Kobe Bryant to honor him. I'm really trying my best to make sure that I honor him, but I'm just not definitely sure, so if anyone thinks that it isn't anywhere close to being similar to Kobe's style, please feel free to speak up and lend a suggestion for so that I may out it in. In any case, enjoy. :)

Chapter 16: The Ultimate Game
Back in Looney Tune Land, a sign that said, "Tonight, the Ultimate Game" hung up above the cars are in heavy traffic, especially Butch's car with the sign "Just Married" on it as the spotlights were shining around. Inside the dome, the Tunes were getting ready for the big game as Lola tapes her hand.
"Yes.", Lola spoke before Bugs put his shorts on, tied it up nice and tight, and made his tail come out from behind while Elmer tied a bandana to his head and growled, Taz had trouble getting his jersey on, spun around, and ripped it up with only half a little of it remaining, Sylvester and Tweety jump roping with the latter jumping off and putting on black lace on his face, and Robyn, Tom, and Jerry going over the game plan.
"Okay, so here's the game plan. They maybe bigger and more skilled then us, but size matters and we can outmaneuver them if we play it right.", Robyn stated.
"I like this game plan and seeing as Robyn came up with it, we have high hopes for this one.", Tom grinned.
"Yeah, 'cause Robyn's plan's always work. We can do this.", Jerry assured.
Meanwhile, Daffy put on an armor helmet and used random things around him.
"Just get out of my way.", Daffy spoke before the helmet closed on him as Michael put on his jersey, which said "Tune Squad", and then looked at his team.
"Ready?", Michael asked.
"Yeah! Yes!", the Looney Tunes cheered.
"Alright. We know the plan and we know the play, so let's kick these Monstars off of our planet.", Robyn spoke with determination.
"Let's go.", Michael spoke in agreement.
In the arena of the court, the crowd was cheering and booing as Mr. Swackhammer and his Nerdluck slaves arrived to watch the game with the former walking to his seat.
"Are these the best seats? I like 'em! Yes! I can see everything from here. Very good.", Mr. Swackhammer grinned.
At the announcement box, the announcer was asleep as Herbie and Bertie pulled the cord of the speaker and decided to do the announcing.
"Okey-doke, ready to go?", Bertie asked.
"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Riot!", Herbie responded before he cleared throat and then spoke in a sportscaster-style voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting lineup for the Tune Squad! Standing 2'4, the wonder from down under, the Tasmanian Devil!", Herbie announced as Taz appeared with two balls in his hands and hit them in the air before they landed in his mouth with the balls popping before he spun around the court as the crowd cheered.
"At small forward, standing a scintillating 3'2, heartthrob of the hoops, Lola Bunny!", Herbie announced next as Charlie the dog from the crowd passed the ball to Lola from the crowd before she caught it and dribbled it before launching it up with it landing on her finger before it spun around.
"And now, standing in at 3'3 and at 1 in., here comes the famous cat-and-mouse duo, Tom and Jerry!", Herbie announced as the two walked in with the basketball in Tom's shoulder before he then bounced the ball once and then spun it on his finger with Jerry doing the same thing for his basketball, which was small enough for his case as the crowd cheered.
"And next up, standing in at 4'5, weighing in at a decent 120 pounds, comes the magic animal girl with a heart of gold: Robyn Starling!", Herbie announced next as Little Quacker pointed to the basketball he wanted to give her before Muscles picked up the ball and then tossed it over to Robyn, who then caught it and dribbled as she hunched forward.
"I am ready to win this game and get back to doing cartoons.", Robyn grinned before Herbie announced Daffy next.
"At power forward, the Quackster of the Courts, Daffy Duck!", Herbie announced next.
"Thank you! Thank you!", Daffy thanked while running to the crowd, who was now silent with the crickets chirping, peeving the black duck.
"Very funny. Let's all laugh at the duck.", Daffy spoke sarcastically in disappointment.
"And at point guard, standing 3'3...4' if you include the ears, Co-Captain of the Tune Squad, the Doctor of Delight, Bugs Bunny!", Herbie announced as the crowd put on their Bugs Bunny wars and then cheered as Bugs popped out of the floor.
"Thank you! Thank you!", Bugs thanked as the crowd cheered while the Nerdluck slaves from Swackhammer's stand booed and jeered at Bugs.
"And now, the player-coach of the Tune Squad, at 6'6, from North Carolina. His Royal Airness: Michael Jordan!", Herbie finished up as the crowed cheered while Michael smiled and he ran in the court to his teammates before Swackhammer noticed him as he held one of his slaves in his hand.
"Who? Is he a Looney Tune?", Swackhammer puzzled confusedly.
"Uh, uh, well, perhaps.", the slave responded nervously.
On the court, Michael and the tunes formed up together and put their hands on top of each other while Jerry stands on top of Michael's with his hand on it as well.
"You guys ready?", Michael asked.
"I'm set to take the rack, Jack!", Daffy responded.
"Those Monstars will wish they've never been born!", Tweety added.
"Guys, let's just go out and have fun.", Michael responded.
"Michael's right, guys. It is important that we win, but we should also remember to have fun, too.", Robyn agreed.
"Yeah, it's just a game after all.", Tom added.
"Now let's go have fun and win this game.", Jerry finished.
"Yeah!", the Looney Tunes agreed before Herbie then announced the challengers.
"The challengers for the ultimate game, all the way from Moron Mountain, the Monstars!", Herbie announcer as the Monstars ran on the court as Michael looked on while Bang and Bupkus did a body slam, Pound thumped his chest like a gorilla, and Blanko and Nawt bumped each other's chest as the Nerdluck slaves cheer for the Monstars.
"Go Monstars! Go Monstars! Go, Monstars! Go, go!", the slaves cheered.
The crowd booed at the Monstars as Michael approached them while the spotlights turn off and the main ones turn on before Bang growled at him with Michael shaking his head.
"What are you looking at?", Bang asked before Pound growled at Taz making him gulp and faint.
Afterwards, Michael got into his position as Lola and Bugs ran into their positions while Blanko approached Michael as he gets into his position as well.
"Cool shoes.", Blanko chuckled before Marvin the Martian approached them with the ball as Blanko and Michael both looked at him.
"Ready?", Marvin asked before he threw the ball in the air with Blanko and Michael jumping up before Michael got it and hit it away from Blanko.
The game is on! Pound jumped up to catch the ball but missed it, before Bugs caught the ball and dribbled it.
"I got it! I got it! I got it! I got the ball! I got the ball! Yipe!", Bugs exclaimed as Bang backhanded Bugs, making him slide across the floor.
"Coming through, little boys!", Bang smirked as Michael saw Bugs hurt.
"Ooh.", Michael winced as Bugs was seeing stars.
Then, Pound got the ball, jumped up to the hoop, and slam dunked into it, making it two points for the Monstars.
"Way to go boys! Did you see the moves on that one?", Swackhammer cheered.
Then, Marvin passed the ball to Taz and he passed the ball to Michael, who ran for the hoop but Pound, Bang, Bupkus, and Nawt blocked his way as they started to taunt him.
"Come on, come on. Show me something.", Bupkus taunted.
"Whatcha got?", Nawt added.
Michael tried to shoot, but Pound kept blocking his way, so he passed the ball to Daffy, who caught the ball.
"Whoops!", Daffy spoke before Bupkus pointed at Daffy.
"The duck!", Bupkus shouted.
"Yeah, beat up on the duck man!", Pound agreed before Daffy got scared and looked around with the Monstars charging at him.
Without thinking, Daffy passed the ball to Granny, who was sitting on the bench with Stan before she caught the ball and gets surprised as the Monstars saw her and charged at her, jumping on Granny and Stan as Michael saw this with Granny getting hurt as a result.
"Oh, my.", Granny spoke dizzily.
"She was wide open!", Daffy spoke to Lola, who glared at him, shook her head, and walked away.
Meanwhile, Pound passed the ball to Nawt, who dribbled it.
Lola tried to stop him, but Nawt spun past her and passed the ball to Bupkus, who slam dunked, earning two more points.
This time afterwards, Michael had the ball as he ran through the court, dribbling before Nawt tried to block him.
"Watch the screen. Coming your way. Coming your way. Watch out!", Nawt spoke, blocking him.
"Come on, get him!", Bang spoke before he and Pound tried to stop Michael, only for him to jump and slam dunk, scoring the first points for the Tune Squad.
At Swackhammer's stand, the Nerdluck slaves were giving Mr. Swackhammer a massage and noticed that Michael scored as did their boss.
"How did he do that?", Swackhammer asked before slamming his fist down angrily.
Back on the court, the Monstars got the ball as Porky ran up to Michael.
"Er, n-n-n-nice shot, Mr. Jordan.", Porky congratulated in stammers as Michael saw Nawt with the ball.
"Hey, hey, hey, come on. Get back on defense!", Michael urged before Nawt passed the ball to Bupkus, who slammed it to the hoop, earning two more points.
"Way to go!", Mr. Swackhammer cheered.
"MJ! MJ!", Bugs shouted, passing the ball to Michael, who caught it before looking up to see the Monstars staring down at him.
"Red light!", the Monstars spoke.
"Feed me! Feed me!", Tweety spoke before Sylvester grabbed Tweety.
"Feed you? Feed me!", Sylvester spoke before putting Tweety in his mouth, much to Tom's chagrin.
"Sylvester!", Tom shouted before Michael passed the ball to Sylvester, hitting his stomach which made him spit out Tweety.
"Don't ever do that again. If we don't have five members on the team, then we forfeit the game and our freedom.", Tom warned.
"Oops. Well, I guess I'll try to remember that.", Sylvester spoke as Tweety landed on the ground.
"Bad ol' putty tat.", Tweety commented before Pound picked up the ball and ran to the hoop.
"I'll take that, thank you. Don't try this at home!", Pound shouted before he jumped up and slam dunked it.
Meanwhile, Foghorn was singing while dribbling the ball.
"I wish I was in the land of cotton.", Foghorn sang before Bang blocked Foghorn's way.
"You going somewhere?", Bang asked with a smirk.
"May I remind you, sir, that physical violence is patently against...", Foghorn began, but before he could finish, Bang leaned back and then roared while breathing fire like a dragon and burning Foghorn to a crisp.
"Did you order the original recipe or extra crispy?", Foghorn spoke, quoting the old KFC slogan before dissolving into ashes as Bang looked on, smiling meanly.
Then, Tom was dribbling the ball only to get stopped by Nawt.
"What's wrong, pussycat? Got your tongue?", Nawt mocked before Tom only glared and then ducked underneath him, puzzling the red monstar before Tom then dribbled the ball, spun back and then slam dunked the ball backwards in the air, scoring 2 points just before the buzzer went off and it went to the second period.
"Seriously? The cat did it, too?!", Swackhammer spoke annoyedly.
"Nice shot, Tom.", Robyn grinned.
"You're a natural.", Bugs added.
"Eh, I try.", Tom responded.
Meanwhile, Michael went to the bench to pick out another player as he looked around and picking one.
"Let's go.", Michael spoke to Jerry.
"Me?", Jerry puzzled before then realizing how serious it might be and decided to head over there in determination.
"You picked the mouse?", Stan puzzled before Jerry went up in front of Blanko.
"Alright, you guys. Let's have a fun game so we can all go home winners.", Jerry grinned.
"Uh-huh. Right, okay. Yeah.", Blanko spoke before he squashed Jerry with a basketball, causing the audience to gasp in shock and wince in pain.
Then, Jerry quickly reinflated and then buffed you're as he panted heavily and angrily.
"Huh?", Blanko puzzled before Jerry then grabbed him by the leg and started smashing him.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN PUSH PEOPLE AROUND?! WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?!", Jerry shouted angrily as he smashed Blanko repeatedly as if he were a rag doll before swinging him toward a hoop, scoring 3 points.
"I guess I should've warned them not to mess with Jerry like that, because only I can do that without making him mad.", Tom guessed.
"No. You think?", Robyn responded before Blanko fell down and was then getting banged against the pole.
"He's a monster, man! A freaky..., relentless..., monster! What do we...do?!", Blanko panickedto Pound.
"Relax, will ya? He can't keep this up forever.", Pound assured before Jerry eventually tired out as his body suddenly zig-zagged a bit before giving a puff and then shrank back to normal mouse size, relieving Blanko.
"Hey. All right.", Blanko grinned before raising his basketball.
"Uh-oh.", Jerry only spoke before getting squashed again, earning cringes and sharp inhales from Tom and Robyn.
"See? What did I tell you?", Pound smirked.
Then, Lola had the ball as she dribbled it to the hoop, but Pound and Bang got in her way.
"Try to get by me, doll.", Pound jeered.
"Doll?", Lola responded before she jumped up and dribbled Pound's face with her feet, making him Pound react in surprise upon seeing her slam dunk with Bang noticing this, too before she scored and the Tunes cheered for her, crowd or otherwise.
"Don't ever call me... doll.", Lola spoke while blowing her ears out of her face as Pound looked at her, dumbfounded.
"Nice shot!", Bugs spoke while high-giving Bugs.
"Thanks, Bugs.", Lola responded before Bupkus, confused, saw Michael blocking him.
"Hmm?", Bupkus puzzled.
"Where's your defense, boy?", Pound spoke before he grabbed and spun Michael around.
"I gotcha right here!", Pound spoke before Bupkus jumped up to the hoop.
"911!", Bupkus spoke before he slam dunked and earned two more points.
At Swackhammer's stand, his Nerdluck slaves served him food, although Swackhammer didn't notice, as he smiled and chuckled evilly from watching the Monstars score.
"Piece of pie? Pork chop? Some sorbet perhaps?", the Nerdlucks slave asked before Bang slam dunked the ball in the court.
"In your face!", Bang spoke as the crowd booed while the Monstars continued to score until the scoreboard on the Monstars' side went up like a casino machine and said, "Kinda one-sided, isn't it?" before Pound jumped up, letting out a yell, and made one more slam dunk before the time ran out as Marvin shot his laser gun.
"Half time.", Marvin announcer before he turned to see Sylvester coughing before noticing a literal hole in his chest as the buzzer went off.
"Holy putty tat!", Tweety commented, flying through a hole, before Sylvester felt annoyed.
Then, the Tunes get sad, thinking they'll lose, while Tom, Jerry, and Robyn were not the sort to give up easily as the Monstars celebrated their first half victory and high fived each other.
"Yeah man, we got it going. One more half.", Bupkis grinned.
"Right, man. We got 'em.", Pound agreed.
"Well, this isn't going according to the game plan.", Tom commented.
"Yeah. We're getting creamed out there and if this keeps up, we'll lose for sure.", Jerry agreed.
"Of course, they realize, this means war.", Robyn added.
"Moron Mountain, here we come.", Sylvester spoke sadly.
"We're gonna be slaves.", Elmer added.
"Come on, guys, keep your heads up, we got another half to play.", Michael assured.
As the tunes and Michael go to their locker room, though, Stan and Robyn stopped and saw the Monstars go to their locker room before they looked to see the Monstars going to their locker room and decided to see what's going on.
"Hey, Robyn, you coming?", Tom asked.
"Oh, yeah. I'll be there in a minute.", Robyn responded.
"Okay, don't take too long.", Jerry responded.
"Don't worry! I won't!", Robyn shouted in reply as Tom, Jerry and The Tune Squad go to the locker room leaving Robyn alone with Stan.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?", Stan asked.
"Yep. Time to see what these Monstars are hiding.", Robyn agreed.
A/N: Looks like both Robyn and Stan are having a peek to see how the Monstars came to be. Probably won't end well for them, but it won't end too badly either.
