A/N: And now this is where the winning shot was made by a good stretch in the basket. :)
Space Jam
Chapter 21: The Winning Basket/Swackhammer's Space Jam
This time, it's the Monstars ball as Marvin gave the ball to Bupkus.
"Now, let's all play fair. Here.", Marvin spoke before Bupkus took the ball and elbowed Marvin, getting ready for action.
"Yo, spaceman, don't choke now. Come on. Come on, come on.", Bill goaded as Bupkus got ready before Daffy put on a football helmet.
"It's gut-check time!", Daffy spoke before he jerked his legs back and forth like a bullet as Bupkus threw the ball to Pound before Daffy launched at him.
As Pound caught the ball, Daffy hit his stomach hard, causing him to drop the ball as Bang and Blanko watch the ball dribble to Bill.
"Oh! Nice strike, Daffy!", Robyn cheered.
"This must be mine.", Bill spoke before he started dribbling the ball as Pound pushed Daffy out of his stomach, holding it in pain.
"Whoo-hoo! This belongs to me. I'm going left! I'm going left!", Bill spoke before passing the ball to Michael with Pound going after Bill.
"Whoa! Don't ever trust an earthling!", Bill shouted.
"Nice pass, Bill! Keep it up!", Robyn cheered before Michael dribbled the ball, trying to get past Nawt.
He saw the time and they're at eight seconds left.
"Mike!", Lola shouted before Michael threw the ball to Lola, who dribbled it and quickly gets surrounded by Bang and Blanko.
"Get the rabbit! Get the girl!", Bang urged before Daffy shouted as he jumped.
"Come on! Come on! I'm open!", Daffy shouted before Lola passed him the ball.
"I'm o...", Daffy began before Bupkus hit Daffy with a backhand strike and reached for the ball.
"That's mine!", Bupkis spoke before Bugs grabbed the ball with his ears and threw it to Bill.
"Not today!", Bugs spoke.
"Hey!", Bupkus shouted.
"Whoo! Great job, Bugs! Keep it up!", Robyn cheered before Bill caught the ball with Blanko approaching him.
"Bring it on, dude.", Blanko goaded before Bill tripped Blanko.
"Whoopsie-daisy. Whoo-hoo.", Bill spoke excitedly before Bill passed the ball to Michael, who headed for the hoop.
However, Bang was running behind Michael as Pound came charging at Michael.
"You're mine!", Pound spoke before he and Bang growled as the former was about to grab Michael, but slipped and fell on the floor before Michael stepped on Pound's head, causing him to groan in pain.
Then, Michael quickly climbed up to Pound's butt and then jumped up and flew to the hoop as the crowd roared.
"Mike, I'm open!", Bill shouted before a shocked Pound saw Michael in the air.
"Never mind.", Bill retracted.
"Wow. I guess that's why they call him his Royal Airness.", Robyn grinned in awe.
Then, time slowed down as Michael flew to the hoop, getting ready to score before Bang and Bupkus roared, jumped up, and grabbed Michael, trying to stop him. However, it did not deter him as Michael began to stretch his arm, reaching for the hoop as he was preparing to slam dunk. Bang and Bupkus looked on in shock, knowing they're gonna lose before Michael slam dunked the ball into the hoop and the horn blew. Then, the crowd cheered wildly, especially the hospitalized Robyn.
"Whoo-hoo!", Robyn cheered before Swackhammer yelled in rage as the tunes cheered for their big victory of the game.
Bugs and Lola hugged each other and Bill laughed joyfully and ran to Michael, who Michael let go of the hoop and landed on his feet.
"The Tunes win!", Herbie shouted as the tunes ran up to each to other and gave each high fives and hugs while Pepe hugged and kissed Granny, puzzling her.
Meanwhile, Michael and Bill talked in private as the tunes celebrated their victory.
"That was a nice pass, man.", Michael grinned.
"That was a great stretch for the basket, too.", Bill complimented.
"You know, you really got some skills. You might be able to play in the NBA.", Michael grinned.
"Thanks, Mike. I'll probably quote you on that. But I'm gonna take this opportunity to retire from the game of basketball.", Bill refused.
"No. Come on.", Michael urged as he put his hand on Bill's shoulder.
"No! No. I'm gonna retire right now, and that's all there is to it. I'm gonna go out on top, undefeated and untied. That's the way it"s gonna be. You go on ahead and celebrate with your teammates.", Bill responded.
"No, come on and help us. Celebrate with us.", Michael spoke.
"I'd like to, but I have to ice down my knees right away, OK? They're starting to go.", Bill spoke.
"All right. Good-bye man.", Michael grinned.
"All right. See ya.", Bill spoke before walking away.
"Are you sure?", Michael asked.
"Oh, yes! Definitely sure. Definitely.", Bill assured before leaving the court.
"Well, goodbye, Bill Murray! You really did your part!", Robyn shouted.
"Yeah! Hopefully, we can see you again!", Tom shouted in agreement.
"I hope that, too!", Jerry added with a wave.
"Well, thanks, you three. Maybe I will come back and see you all again someday.", Bill grinned as he continued leaving.
Meanwhile, Mr. Swackhammer was furious with the Monstars for losing the game.
"LOSERS!", Mr. Swackhammer shouted.
"Sorry.", the Monstars apologized.
"Choke artists!", Mr. Swackhammer added.
"Sorry again.", the Monstars repeated.
"Wait 'til I get you back on Moron Mountain.", Mr. Swackhammer threatened as Michael walked over to the Monstars just before Swackhammer stomped on Bupkus's foot in anger, which caused him to howl in pain.
"All right. The party's over. Get in the spaceship.", Mr. Swackhammer spoke.
"Why do you take it from this guy?", Michael asked.
"Because he's bigger.", Bupkus responded, scared.
"He's bigger.", Pound added, raising an eyebrow.
"Than we used...to be.", Bang added, figuring it out slowly.
"Yeah, well that's just no excuse.", Tom retorted.
"You guys shouldn't even be following him.", Jerry added.
"You guys do know that you are much taller than him now, right?", Robyn smirked as she added on that.
Then, the Monstars finally realized that they're now bigger than he is.
"Wait a minute.", the Monstars spoke as they turned to Swackhammer, glaring angrily at him before Swackhammer felt something was not right.
"What are you doing?", Mr. Swackhammer asked nervously before the Monstars reached for him, grabbed him, and dragged him through the court.
"Come here!", Bupkus spoke.
"Hey! Wait! What are you dong? Wait! Let go!", Mr. Swackhammer shouted.
The Monstars ignored him, however, as Michael looked on with interest as Tom, Jerry, and Robyn snickered a bit while the Monstars laughed as they put Swackhammer in a rocket before Bugs and Wile E smiled.
Then, the rocket took off and headed for the ceiling as the Monstars waved good-bye to their new ex boss. Outside the arena, the rocket blasted through the ceiling and it headed for space as Swackhammer screamed while zooming fast and headed for the moon before landing on it.
Back in the arena, the crowd and the tunes cheered before Michael smiled at the Monstars.
"Had it in you all the time, didn't you?", Michael spoke proudly.
The Monstars smiled warmly and blushed in response as Pound smiled while shrugging, Bang pointed his chin while blushing and smiling, Bupkus smiled and wiggled his eyebrows, Blanko placed his hand on his face to hide his blush, and Nawt smiled, giving a thumbs up sign.
"Aww.", the Monstars spoke.
"Eh, it would've been better if you flattened him like you did to me, but eh, I'll take it.", Robyn grinned.
"One thing, though. Pass me the ball, Bugs.", Michael spoke before Bugs passed the ball to him and Michael turned back to the Monstars.
"You gotta give my friends their talent back.", Michael spoke, worrying the Monstars.
"What?", the Monstars puzzled.
"Do we have to?", Pound asked sadly, shrugging.
"Yeah, it's part of the deal, touch the ball.", Michael replied, nodding.
"Awww.", the Monstars spoke disappointedly before they sadly looked at each other as they don't know what to say but also knew they can't keep the talent forever, so they decided to return the talent.
"Oh, okay.", Bupkus sighed as he placed his hand on the ball while Bang and Blanko placed their hands on the ball.
"Uh, fair is fair.", Blanko added as Pound placed his hand on the ball, touching Michael's fingers while Nawt looks for an empty spot.
"There you go. Touch it.", Michael spoke as Nawt placed his hand on the ball.
As the Monstars were convinced, they touched the ball and began to shake and twitch. The talent began to leave their bodies and it went inside the ball before they start to shrink down back to their small size. Their jerseys, shorts and shoes are still the same size from their Monstar forms. They were small Nerdlucks again as they popped out from their jerseys.
"That was so much fun.", Bupkus grinned.
"I feel so insignificant.", Bang spoke sadly as Pound frowned while looking at his jersey.
"My clothes don't fit.", Pound stated.
"What a trip.", Nawt spoke before Blanko chuckled.
"I'm up for another one.", Blanko spoke.
"And now, you guys are free to do whatever you want.", Robyn grinned.
"Yeah, you can be your own aliens and do what you think you can do.", Tom added.
"Just so long as it isn't enslaving our people and making them be apart of an amusement park.", Jerry added.
Bugs, however, wanted to test them.
"Eh, I'm not sure, Robyn. I don't know if you guys are looney enough.", Bugs responded.
"Looney enough?!", Bang exclaimed before the Nerdlucks put on the Looney Tunes costumes acting like them, and being funny, even humming the Looney Tunes theme song as Michael and the tunes looked on before Nawt shot them and their eyeballs bounce on the floor as Nawt hopped twice.
Then, Stan ran in with Michael's basketball bag.
"Michael! Michael! Do you know what time it is?", Stan asked before Porky looked at his watch.
"Er, 7:15, er, 7: 15, er quarter past seven.", Porky responded.
"Exactly. You've got a baseball game in 5 minutes.", Stan added before Michael handed him the ball.
"Okay. Take this.", Michael spoke.
"Is it safe?", Stan asked, looking at the ball.
"Yeah. Put it in my bag.", Michael assured before Stan took the ball and put it in the bag while Michael talked to the tunes.
"I really enjoyed playing with you guys. You guys got a lot of, uh...", Michael began.
"Huh?", the tunes pondered.
"A a lot of, uh...", Michael continued, trying to figure out what to say.
"Yes?", the tunes asked.
"Well, whatever it is, you got a lot of it.", Michael finished before the tunes felt happy about what Michael said.
"All right, gotta go. And Tom, Jerry, Robyn?", Michael asked.
"Yeah, Mike?", Tom asked.
"What is it, Mike?", Jerry asked.
"Yes, Michael?", Robyn asked.
"Don't quit what you you love doin', alright?", Michael asked.
"Sure thing.", Tom agreed.
"Can do.", Jerry concurred.
"No problem.", Robyn nodded.
"Bugs?", Michael asked.
"Eh, Mike?", Bugs asked.
"Stay out of trouble.", Michael advised before walking away.
"You know I will. Come here!", Bugs spoke as Lola giggled before he grabbed Lola and kissed her on the lips, causing her to whoop joyfully and pull down the scene showing the Baron's field.
A/N: Looks like Bugs and Lola are gonna get busy real soon. Now, the next chapter is really short and not much is different, but the last chapter does have a somewhat different ending to it. And basically the same ending, too. This time around, after a short listen to "Hit 'em high", which I do like, Bugs and the others will start dancing and rapping to a certain song that I think yo may know well. :)
