Insanity Chapter 19: Welcome to Wackyland
The Tom and Jerry Crew looked around. As mentioned in the previous chapter, they could see nothing but black and white environments. They continued to creep through the black and white forest. For a few moments, nothing really happened. Then suddenly, they heard a large roar and suddenly a giant creature came out of the trees, gnashing its fangs.
Jerry clung to Tom's leg. Butch jumped in Spike's arms. Tyke simply looked at the odd creature with a curious look on his face. The creature itself looked bizarre. For all intents and purposes, it was a bird. But it looked like a bird who had been drinking Dr. Jekyll's monster formula and taking steroids. Suddenly, just when the creature looked like it was going to eat them, it suddenly smiled and skipped away, singing a merry tune.
Looking at each other, the Tom and Jerry Crew knew they had to get out of here. But how?
Suddenly, they heard the sound of a plane.
"Tell me that's what I think it is." Jerry said, looking to the side.
"It's a plane." Butch said the obvious as they watched a plane crash nearby.
"Come on. Someone might be hurt. We need to be nice and help them." Tom said as he ran off. The others followed him. They continued to run until they came to a clearing. Just like Butch said, it was a plane, and Tom was already helping someone out of the plane. But the person himself was what shocked the Tom and Jerry Crew.
"I don't believe it. Porky Pig?" Jerry said as they walked up to the plane.
"Th-th-th-the Tom and Jerry Crew? What are you guys doing in Wa-wa-wa-wackyland?" Porky asked as he jumped out of the plane.
"Two psychotic madmen captured us and sent us to another dimension. You know, the usual." Jerry said.
Butch scratched his head.
"But wait, how are you here in the first place? Did you get your hands on a dimensional portal or something?" he asked.
Porky shook his head.
"Oh, we're not in another di-di-di-di, another universe. We're in Africa. I'm here because I'm hunting the Do-Do Bird." Porky said.
Jerry scratched his head.
"You mean like in that cartoon you made a long time ago? I thought the dodo bird didn't exist in real life." Jerry said.
"Th-th-th-that's what I thought too. But recent studies have claimed that the do-do bird that appeared in my cartoon might actually exist in real life. So, I'm here to see if the dodo bird really exists." Porky said.
"Well, we're trying to get back home. Since you say that we're not in another dimension, that means that Dick and Larry's so-called 'dimensional portal' was a total screw-up. So, if that's the case then we'll just take your plane and fly back to our country." Butch said.
"B-b-but that's the only plane I have. If you take it, I'll be stranded here." Porky said.
"Not my problem." Butch said.
"Butch, I'm surprised at you. We can't just leave him." Jerry said.
Tom spoke up.
"Yeah. We should stay and help him find the dodo bird."
"Besides, I want to see if the dodo bird really exists too." Spike said.
Butch threw his arms in the air.
"Oh, fine. Fine. But how are we going to find this 'dodo' bird. We don't even know what the blasted thing looks like." Butch said.
"I do. Here's his photogr-gr-gr, his picture." Porky said as he held up a picture of the dodo.
"Wow, he looks just like he does in your cartoon." Jerry said.
Tom had a smile on his face.
"Well, then let's get going. It will be nice to go on an adventure with my best friends." the cat said as he continued to walk.
Porky stared at Tom with an unreadable expression.
"Is this T-t-t-tom? Why is he acting so... nice?" Porky asked.
"We hit him with a ray gun that a scientist invented. But it turns out that we made a big mistake. It was wrong of us to change Tom like we did." Jerry said.
"Oh, what a nice thing to say." Tom said.
Porky scratched his chin.
"A scientist? Would you be referring to Jacob N-n-n-n, Jack Nobody?" Porky asked.
"You know him too?" Butch asked.
"That's nice." Tom said.
"Y-y-y-yeah. I know him. And if you regret your decision so badly then why don't you change him b-b-back?"
Butch and Jerry looked surprised.
"Um, we can do that?" Jerry asked.
"Well, yeah. All you have to do is hit him with another ray beam and he will be back to normal." Porky said.
Butch took out the ray gun.
"It's that simple? Well, here goes."
Tom looked worried.
"Wait, what's going on?"
Butch shot Tom with another blast of the ray gun, and suddenly, Tom started to glow. He fell to the ground unconscious. Butch, Jerry, and Spike looked at Tom with worried expressions.
Was he...?
Suddenly, Tom opened his eyes with a great big smile on his face. The others groaned when they saw that they failed. But then that smile slowly turned into a frown. Tom got up and looked around with an unreadable expression. Then he saw Butch holding the ray gun. He rolled his eyes.
"It's about time you changed me back. I was getting sick of being so sweet." Tom said.
"HE'S BACK!" the others cheered.
Tom looked around.
"Where are we again? Oh yeah, the so-called Wackyland." he said.
"Yeah, now that you're back, we need to find the dodo bird and get back to our country." Jerry said.
Tom got up and nodded, dusting himself off.
"Well, then let's go, you walking bags of pig-filth. That bird isn't going to find itself."
Butch smirked.
"Yeah, he's back. Only Tom could come up with such rude and vulgar insults." he said.
Tom gave him a glare that told him that he was treading on dangerous ground.
"Clamp it. I'm not in the mood."
With that, the Tom and Jerry Crew plus Porky began their journey to search for the mysterious dodo bird. Suddenly, they seemed to have made it to civilization. The gang stepped closer to get a better look. The scene in front of them was at 10-times wackier than most Saturday morning cartoons.
They saw a flower with an actual head, and said flower was playing his nose as if it was a musical instrument. They saw a stick figure walking with an umbrella, but instead of keeping him dry, water poured through the umbrella somehow, keeping the stick figure soaked. The strangest thing was that it wasn't raining. They continued to look around and they saw people walking on their hands, a tiny critter wearing a hat that was 20 times larger than his own body, a man with three heads, and a round ball with legs and a face.
"This can't be happening." Tom said in despair.
"These people appear to be even loonier than we are." Jerry said, astonished.
"Let's ask one of them if they know where the d-d-d-d-dodo bird is." Porky said.
Spike looked around.
"Hey, let's ask that guy. He looks a bit sane, at least." Spike said.
He was pointing to a calm looking creature with a trumpet for a nose. The gang walked up to him.
"H-h-h-h-hey. Do you know where I can find the dodo bird?" Porky asked.
The creature smiled.
"The dodo is in Wackyland." he honked through his trumpet-like nose.
Jerry smiled, trying not to lose his temper.
"We know that, but where can he be found, specifically?" he asked.
"The dodo is in Wackyland." he honked again.
"Yes, but where in Wackyland?" Butch said.
"The dodo is in Wackyland." he honked again.
"You said that three times already. Are you going to tell us where he is or not?" Tom said, fed up.
"The dodo is in Wackyland."
Tom drop-kicked the creature, and the poor thing was knocked into the distance.
"Well, he was of no help." Butch said.
Jerry looked around.
"Let's keep going." he said.
The gang continued to walk forward. They walked and looked around. Tom was walking faster.
"That stupid bird has got to be around here somewhere." he said.
"Patience, Tom. We'll find it." Jerry said.
"Well, we'd better find it soon. I don't plan on spending the rest of my day searching for a bird that might not even exist." Tom said.
Tom and Jerry picked up the pace. Porky struggled to keep up with the Tom and Jerry Crew as they continued to blaze forward. Acting in 'Tom and Jerry' means you get to build up leg muscles and walk faster. Porky unfortunately, didn't act in said show, so he was starting to sweat a bit. Suddenly, Tyke started barking like crazy. Tom covered his ears.
"What's gotten into you, mutt?" Tom asked.
"I think he found something, or someone, that can help us." Jerry said, pointing to a strange looking figure, holding a sign that said, information about the Do-Do.
Tom rolled his eyes.
"Finally." he said.
Butch and Spike walked up to the guy. Porky was right behind them.
"Hello there, kind sir. I couldn't help but notice that sign you're holding there. Do you really have information on the Dodo?" Butch asked.
The fella nodded his head, his pupils continued to move around wildly. Porky smiled.
"Quick. Tell me. Where does he live. What's he like? Where did he go? Which way?"
The figure pointed in every direction.
"Thataway!" the guy said.
"Well, at least he's saner than everyone else here." Jerry said.
Tom shook his head.
"I don't have time to waste talking to idiots." he grabbed the figure by the neck, "Tell me where this blasted bird lives or I'll-"
Butch pulled his brother off of the figure.
"Please. Let me handle this, bro. So, we're trying to ask nicely. Do you know where we can find the dodo bird?"
The figure smiled insanely as he opened a door out of thin air. A sign said, 'To the Dodo.'
"Um, thanks." Spike said.
Porky looked at the portal.
"We're supposed to j-j-j-jump through that? I don't know. It looks dangerous." Porky said.
Jerry waved his arm dismissively.
"Oh, pshaw. What could be dangerous about jumping headfirst into a swirling black vortex that glows?"
With that, the headstrong mouse jumped into the portal, followed by Tom, who was followed by the others. Porky shrugged and jumped in after them. Suddenly, they found themselves in front of a gate. There was a wall, surrounding the gate, telling the crew that this was the only entrance to... whereever the heck this was.
Suddenly, lights came on, and words appeared on the gate as if it was a screen in a movie theater.
"INTRODUCING" the gate said.
Apparently, the gate could talk. This was new.
"IN PERSON."
The gate suddenly opened up to reveal a large castle.
"THE DO-DO"
They watched in astonishment as the castle's door opened, and a large bird exited with a boat. The bird was a strange looking one. He had a small tiny umbrella on his head, a head that was shaped like an ice cream cone, and a body that looked like an upside down umbrella. The bird tossed out an anchor, causing the boat to sink to the bottom of the river. Apparently, the dodo didn't care. He continued to walk until he reached Porky and the Tom and Jerry Crew.
"Wow." Jerry said, "Seeing the dodo in person is kind of cool."
Butch scratched his head.
"It kind of looks like a turkey who swallowed an umbrella."
Porky leaned forward, looking excited.
"Are you really the last of the dodos?" Porky asked.
The dodo glared and got in Porky's face.
"Yes, I'm really the last of the dodos."
Then, he jumped on Porky's body and began to dance, knocking the poor pig to the ground. Then he smiled at the others.
"Glad to meet you, partner. Put her there." Dodo said, putting his hand out for Tom to shake.
The cat rolled his eyes and shook the dodo's hand, only to get electrocuted by a joy-buzzer. The cat fell to the ground, electricity coursing through his body.
"Agh, for that you will suffer!" Tom said as he got up and ran to him, only to get tripped by the dodo and he fell into the river. The others gaped as Tom splashed through the surface of the water, narrowing his eyes at the bird.
"I don't like you." Tom said, glaring at the trickster bird.
"Hey, no one treats Tom like that but me." Butch said angrily.
The dodo kicked Butch in the gut, and dashed off. Jerry looked around for the bird, but he was gone. But then the bird appeared behind him and he honked through his nose. Jerry was frightened and he jumped into the water with Tom. Spike tried to punch the bird, but the bird jumped up, bounced off of Spike's head, and bounced away.
"Hoo-hoo" he said repeatedly, as if he was a psychotic version of Daffy Duck.
"L-l-l-let's get him." Porky said.
The gang ran after him, attempting to chase him. Being the fastest, Tom and Jerry managed to catch up to the dodo and they cornered him in front of a wall. But then the dodo just ran up the wall as if he was Spider-Man, and he ran down the other side.
"How did he do that?" Jerry asked.
"C'mon. We'll take a shortcut and cut him off." Tom said.
Meanwhile, Spike and Tyke were also looking for the dodo.
"That jerky bird's around here somewhere. If you see him, yell." Spike said.
Tyke nodded excitedly. He looked around and narrowed his eyes, searching for the bird. But then he saw something even better.
"CHILIDOG!" Tyke said.
Indeed, there was a chilidog floating in mid-air. Tyke, having an incurable obsession with the food, ran up to the floating chilidog, only to have it snatched from him by the Dodo, who ate the chilidog and licked his lips.
Tyke, seeing this tragedy, began to cry. That was his chilidog. His beloved chilidog. That bird stole his chilidog.
Something within Tyke snapped.
No one took Tyke's chilidogs away from him.
No one.
Tyke growled with anger. He gritted his teeth. His head was steaming. He was so angry that his eyes were red. The bird, sensing that he had made a huge mistake, ran off. The dog chased after him with a speed that could match Superman's.
The bird pulled a brick wall out of mid-air and he held it in front of Tyke. The little puppy wasn't stopped as he just ran right through the brick wall, smashing into the bird, and slamming it into a tree. The impact was so hard that the tree fell down on top of the bird. Angrily, Tyke picked up the tree and tossed it into the sunset as if it was just a pencil. Tyke knocked the dodo bird high into the sky until it was out of sight.
Spike seeing this, smiled and patted his son on the head.
"That's my boy."
Meanwhile, the bird was flying through the air.
"Mental note: never take chilidogs away from the young one. He'll kill you for it."
The bird continued to fall until he was close to the area where Butch and Porky were searching.
"He's got to be cl-cl-cl-clo-, he's got to be around here somewhere." Porky said, narrowing his eyes.
Suddenly, the bird landed on Porky. He was dazed for a moment. Tyke packed quite a punch. Then he looked around and saw Butch and Porky. He smiled, grabbing a pencil and drawing a door out of thin air. The dodo opened said door and walked inside, disappearing.
Butch ran up to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't budge.
"This bird is starting to get on my nerves." Butch said.
Suddenly, the dodo appeared and used a pencil to draw a stick of dynamite above Butch's head. The cat never noticed as he was too busy trying to open the door. The dynamite's fuse continued to burn down until...
BOOM!
Butch fell to the ground, coughing up smoke.
"Ow. It's a good thing us cartoon characters are durable. That explosion would have killed me otherwise." Butch said.
The bird continued to jump around. Porky chased after him. Suddenly, the bird drew an elevator and hopped inside. The elevator flew up into the sky.
"Oh great. N-n-now what?" Porky asked.
Butch pointed to some nearby buttons.
"Maybe we can call the elevator back down."
Butch pushed the down button and the elevator floated down from the clouds. It landed in front of Butch. The doors opened, revealing not an insane dodo bird, but a stick of dynamite.
"Oh, nuts."
BOOM!
Tom and Jerry, following the sound of the explosions, closed in on Butch's location. Spike and Tyke weren't far behind. Jerry was panting.
"My goodness. That's bird's more slippery than a bar of wet soap." Jerry said.
Suddenly the dodo-bird appeared again. Jerry chased after it, but the bird threw a bar of wet soap on the ground, and Jerry slipped and smacked right into a tree.
The dodo-bird then hopped into the elevator again, and the elevator rose up into the clouds. The Tom and Jerry Crew craned their bodies backward in order to get a better look. Suddenly, the dodo-bird fired several slingshots that hit them in their faces and caused them to flip onto their stomachs.
The dodo floated to the ground cheerfully. Tom growled in anger.
"That's it. I've had enough of this madness. I'm going to kill this bird!"
Tom meant that literally. Taking out a laser gun, he aimed it at the bird's face. He pulled the trigger, but instead of a laser, flowers were shot out of the gun instead.
"What the? Flowers?" Tom asked, looking at his gun in shock.
"The whole world's going soft." Jerry noted.
The dodo suddenly swiped the gun from Tom's hand and aimed it at the cat. Tom smirked.
"Go ahead. Fire. Like flowers could ever harm me." he said.
The dodo fired, but this time, the gun actually shot a laser beam that fried Tom's face. The cat screamed in pain and jumped in a river to cool off his face. The bird cheered and hopped away, leaving the others gaping.
"I don't know who's more dangerous. Tom or the bird." Jerry said.
Spike looked at Tom, who was climbing out of the water.
"From the looks of Tom, probably the former." he said.
Tom had never looked angrier than this. That bird had crossed so many lines that it must have had a death-wish.
"That's it. No... more... mister... nice guy." Tom growled angrily. Everyone else took several steps back as Tom walked up to them.
"Huddle up everyone. I've got a plan. No dumb bird is going to get the best of us." Tom said with a smirk that promised dark things in store for the dodo-bird, who at the moment was walking happily. He continued to walk until he heard a sound.
It was the sound of a newspaper boy. The bird turned to see several newspaper boys holding up some newspapers.
"Extra! Extra! Porky and the Tom and Jerry Crew catch dodo. Extra! Extra!"
The dodo looked shocked and watched the six newspaper boys hold up their papers.
"Extra! Porky and the Tom and Jerry Crew catch dodo."
The dodo looked at them in shock.
"What's that? How? Where? When?"
Tom smirked through his disguise.
"Now."
Porky took a hammer and smacked the bird on the head. The bird fell unconscious. Tom grabbed the bird, and smirked. He turned to Butch with a sickly sweet smile.
"Brother, call our mother back at the farm and ask her if she would like a pet dodo-bird." Tom said.
"You want to send the bird back to the farmhouse? But that's where the Triplets live. You know what they do to pets." Butch said.
"I know." Tom said darkly, "For once, those brats could serve a useful purpose."
Butch shrugged and whipped out his cell-phone, hoping that he would get reception out here in the heart of Africa.
Spike looked around.
"Please tell me we're about to go back home." he said.
Porky shook his head.
"Nope. Now that I'm done hunting down the dodo-bird, I have to hunt down the l-l-l-loch-ness monster. And you're coming with me." he said.
"WHAT?" Spike yelled.
"I'm jo-jo-jo-jo, I'm just kidding. We're going home." Porky said.
Tom rolled his eyes and the crew made it to their plane. Taking off, the gang headed back for their country. They only made one stop to drop off the bird at the Cats Farmhouse. Ariel opened the door and took the bird in the house. No one knew what would become of the dodo-bird, but judging from how the triplets were looking at the bird with evil grins on their faces, it couldn't be anything good.
Later, Porky dropped off the others at the Tom and Jerry Mansion. They looked happy to be back home to their mansion, where there were two statues of Tom and Jerry, an outdoor pool, and fire coming out of the windows.
Wait, fire?
"Curses! I left the oven on!" Tom said as he ran up to the mansion.
Jerry sighed.
Looks like everything was back to normal.

A/N: So, just what do the triplets do to pets?, you might be wondering. Well, I'll leave that to your imaginations.
Anyway, I don't know when I'll update again. But don't worry, this fanfic is really the only one I'm officially working on. Really. All my other fanfics are on (hopefully temporary) hiatus. This is my only fanfic that's ongoing.
Isn't that interesting?
