Chapter 6: Mistrial of the Century
The next morning after Sora, Daffy, and Porky had breakfast; they went through the doors to the exit of Traverse Town and boarded the rocket ship. Sora was not only excited that he was going to travel to other worlds, but the fact that he was going to do so in a spaceship. Yes, most children have at least one point where they pretend they're astronauts or a science fiction hero. Here, Sora is going to live it.
Sora came in the cockpit with much enthusiasm, "Wow! This ride is awesome! I feel like a kid at space camp."
"D-d-don't count your stars until it's dark. We still have to bl-bl-blast off first," Porky reminded the key wielder.
Sora rubbed his hands together as he sat in his seat, "Then let's hit the road!"
"Roads?" Daffy simply smirked as he set up for take off, "Where we're going we don't need roads."
"Wait a minute!" Sora interrupted before Daffy could pull the lever, "Where's Penny?"
"Here I am!" Penny's voice answered, hurrying in the room, "Sorry if I overslept. I didn't expect you in so early," she explained as she sat in her desk chair.
Daffy shook his head in a sigh, "Kids. They think they can sleep all day," nevertheless, Daffy put his hand on the lever until realizing he was about to pull it backwards again, "No! No, not twice in the same week," he pulled it forward and the back of the ship ignited. Everyone held on to their seats as they took off at such speed before slowing down. They were now in space.
"Look outside, Sora," Penny pointed out the window.
Sora looked in awe at the wonders of inter-dimensional space, the place he and his friends might have eventually found if their trip ever happened.
"This is incredible!" Sora exclaimed, "Look at all the stars. It's beautiful," however, his feelings soon turned to sorrow, "But, Riku and Kairi aren't here to see this."
Porky tried cheering Sora up, "Aw, they'll en-j-j-joy it whenever we f-f-find them."
"Oh yeah," Sora chuckled.
Daffy turned on a monitor and looked at the worlds visible on the map and had two choices to make. He decided they'd go to the one on the left first, "In several minutes, we shall arrive to our first destination."
Everyone sat back in their seats and waited patiently. Sora decided to enjoy the scenery while Daffy and Porky concentrated on driving and navigating and Penny did a bit of finishing touches on her journal. As Bugs Bunny said in his letter, all these stars made up many different worlds. Sora's anticipation grew as he wondered what the first world they visited was going to be like.
About half way there, a red light flashed in the room with an alarm sounding off.
"Cadet, what's going on?" Daffy asked out loud.
Porky looked at the radar and pointed to a few blips, "We g-g-got Heartless ships approaching, sir!"
Out the window, Sora saw that indeed, spaceships with the Heartless symbol were aiming to attack them, "I didn't know Heartless could fly rockets."
"There's still a lot we don't know about the Heartless yet," Penny replied.
Daffy tightly held the controls, "Buckle up, crew. It's chase scene time! Music, maestro."
He turned on the radio and the song playing was "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. Daffy activated the turbo rockets and sped up so the Heartless ships could play catch up. Sora, Penny and Porky held on to their seats and braced for any impact.
Kenny Loggins sang, "Revvin' up your engine/Listen to her howlin' roar/Metal under tension/Beggin' you to touch and go/"
Daffy saw some asteroids nearby and tilted to the left and right to evade them and hoping the Heartless would crash into them.
The song continued, "Highway to the Danger Zone/Ride into the Danger Zone/"
The ships avoided the asteroids at first, but Daffy saw one up ahead and gave a grin. He led the ships straight after him and when the time was right, he tilted the ship upwards and flew over the asteroid. One ship took the bait and crashed right into the rock, exploding upon contact with ship parts and broken rock flying everywhere.
More with the singing, "Headin' into twilight/Spreadin' out her wings tonight/She got you jumpin' off the track/And shovin' into overdrive/"
Daffy looked down and saw some surface covered in grass. It was time to go into phase two and he flew right toward the field.
"Highway to the Danger Zone/I'll take you right into the Danger Zone/"
The ships were right on the tail of our heroes' rocket. Daffy was descending at a good speed and right at the last second, ascended upward. One of the ships wasn't quick enough to react and crashed right into the surface flipping until it was torn apart.
"You'll never say hello to you/Until you get it on the red line overload/You'll never know what you can do/Until you get it up as high as you can go/"
Daffy got back to his original position of the rocket and saw some rings up ahead, giving him another idea. He flew through a ring on the right while the Heartless followed him through it, and he then went through one on the left, but when he got to one in the middle, he got as close to the top he could get without scraping the top of the rocket. One of the enemy ships was too high up and crashed right into the top of the ring, exploding and cracking part of the ring off.
"Out along the edges/Always where I burn to be/The further on the edge/The hotter the intensity/"
Some objects that looked like panels came into view up ahead, which gave Daffy more time to play "crash dummies" with the Heartless ships.
"Highway to the Danger Zone/Gonna take you right into the Danger Zone/Highway to the Danger Zone/Right into the Danger Zone/"
Daffy flew the ship over one panel looking object and under a second one. On the third one, he patiently waited for the right moment. Once he got close enough, he spun the ship out of the way making the others go "Whoa!" one of the ships didn't see it coming and flew right into the panel/object, destroying it. Now just one more ship to contend with.
Highway to the Danger Zone/Gonna take you right into the Danger Zone/Highway to the Danger Zone/Right into the Danger Zone/"
The final ship flying went to the side of the rocket and bumped into it on purpose to try and send it off course. Daffy grew irritated at that and rammed the ship right back. Daffy did a loop de loop so it was now above the enemy aircraft. He activated the landing gear, causing the wheels to drop out and hit the Heartless ship, which caused it to catch on fire and it descended into oblivion.
"Highway to the Danger Zone/Gonna take you right into the Danger Zone/Highway to the Danger Zone/Right into the Danger Zone/"
The resulting explosion of the last Heartless ship caused everyone in the ship to cheer. Daffy gave a look of victory and superiority as the song faded out.
"Everyone doing okay?" Daffy checked on the group.
"Terrific, Mr. Dodgers," Penny gave the a-okay sign.
Sora simply chuckled, "I can't wait to do that again!"
A few minutes of peace had passed before Porky spoke up again, "World d-d-dead ahead, sir!"
"I'm not blind, Cadet. I can see it," Daffy spat in annoyance. The world itself was covered around with what looked like a Hollywood studio. A water tower on top surrounded by buildings, a park area near some woods and a suburban neighborhood, "Now let's land this baby."
Before we get back to our friends, a narrator had an announcement, "It's now time for another Good idea, Bad idea. Good idea…"
Mr. Skullhead, a mute skeleton wearing a blue suit with a matching derby hat, walked up to an autograph-signing table. The narrator continued, "Getting an autograph from Arnold Schwarzenegger."
Arnold readied the pen and asked Mr. Skullhead, "Who do I make this out to?"
"Bad idea…" the narrator began, "Trying to get an autograph from the Terminator."
Mr. Skullhead showed something to sign to someone who looks like Arnold, but it was his robotic counterpart from the movies. The T-100 picks up Mr. Skullhead by the shirt collar and asks, "Are you Sarah Conner?"
Mr. Skullhead held up a sign that said, "Oh no!"
"The end," concluded the narrator.
Back with Sora and company, they were about to step off the ship. All except for Penny who informed them, "I have camera set up in my computer book that will be able to follow where you move. It'll help me keep track of everything while you're exploring."
"Roger," Sora gave the thumbs up. He and the Looney Tunes stepped off the ship and closed the door behind them.
"Anyone else n-n-noticed we parked on the edge of a cliff?" Porky asked while looking behind him.
"So what if we did?" Daffy asked back, "It's not like…"
"We got off on the wrong side!" Sora freaked.
All three friends looked down and screamed that they were floating in midair.
Daffy looked to you, the readers, "Oh no!" and held up a sign reading "Not again" before he, Sora and Porky all started falling. Their hats, or necklace in Sora's case, spun in the air for a minute before falling back to their respective owners.
Daffy took a rubber balloon out of his pocket, blew into it and tied a string around the end. Porky saw what the duck was doing and grabbed him, catching Sora's hand and they all fell much slower than before.
Just when things were looking up, Sora brought up something, "Hold on. Helium makes a balloon float. Not carbon dioxide."
After he said that, the balloon deflated even though the end was still tied. Daffy glared at Sora, "Rule number one. Real physics and Looney Tunes physics do not mix."
The trio fell again at a fast pace, screaming. Thankfully, Porky also had an ace in the hole. Smiling, he revealed a parachute on his back. Unfortunately, when he pulled it, all that came out was silverware making his face go back to freaking out. Down below, a black hole widened in midair and the group fell in it. It was still just lit enough to see each other. What caught them by surprise was the fact they started to float down at a slower rate.
As they started to lightly descend to the ground, Sora just had to comment, "I don't know what to make of this. First we're falling, now floating."
"The only way to fly," Daffy answered twirling around as they went down.
"At least the w-w-worst is over," Porky put his hands behind his back and rested one leg over the other, "It's all downhill from here, or in this c-c-case, down to the ground," he joked.
World number one: The World of Animaniacs
A minute later, they all came down to the bottom where a room was. Daffy landed on the couch with a picture hanging on the wall behind it and a side table to his right with a plant on it. Sora landed on the couch that had a window behind it, with curtains, and a coffee table in front. Porky on the other hand landed stomach first onto the receptionist desk since he wasn't paying attention. Sora laughed while Daffy put his hand over his eyes in distraught. Porky opened his eyes to notice someone pass by him. He, Daffy and Porky watched as a tall, thin, bald man wearing thick glasses and psychiatrists white coat ran and panted in a panic over the red carpeting.
"Oh dear! Oh my! Oh dear me! I'm very late!" the psychiatrist, known as Dr. Otto Scratchansniff, panicked. He spoke in a thick Austrian accent, "Last time I use a clock I got a discount store. Mr. Plotz will surely have me work twice as hard with only half pay!"
Daffy was the first to speak about the Doc, "Wonder where peanut head is going?"
Sora got off the couch to call out to Scratchansniff, "Excuse me, sir! I have a question!"
Scratchansniff shook his head no, "No, no, no, no! No sessions! No questions! I'm late for a very important date!" he stopped running when he caught on to what he said, "I can't help but think I read that in a book before," in the end, he just shrugged it off, "Oh well."
Porky didn't understand since it was still daylight outside. He could tell by looking out the window, "B-b-but don't people go on dates at n-n-n-in the evening?"
"A court date! A court date!" Scratchansniff confirmed, "Now no more small talk! Goodbye!" he ran into the other room.
Sora, Daffy and Porky went after him and went inside the next room, the laboratory. Sora was a bit confused though as to why the doctor would go inside a lab if he's supposed to be on his way to court. Sora observed the surroundings of the lab, "This doesn't look like a court to me. It kind of reminds me of my science classroom though. Blacktop tables with built in lighters, Bunsen burners with test tubes filled with liquid, except the lights were in tube bulbs instead of being in regular lamps hanging off the ceiling.
Meanwhile, Daffy took a beaker filled with liquid in his hand and sniffed the substance.
Porky felt a bit weary about his friend doing that. Could have been a chemical for all they knew, "I d-d-don't think you should be doing that."
"Alright then," Daffy handed Porky the beaker, "Drink it."
Porky's hand shook nervously before taking the beaker and slowly drinking the liquid. At first nothing happened, but a puff of smoke appeared and he changed into Richard Karn!
Daffy motioned his eyes up and down at his friends transformation, "You put on more weight?"
"Show me put on more weight!" announced "Richard". He pointed to the wall expecting something to happen.
Daffy looked at you, the readers wondering what that was about and then he looked at another test tube of liquid. He drank it and another puff of smoke appeared, transforming him into Tim Allen!
"Today, we're doing our salute…" both "Tim" and "Richard" now "Al" did a salute while thunder noises sounded, "To tools used in the laboratory. Al, hand me a flammable chemical."
"Al" shook his head, "I don't think so, Tim."
In another puff of smoke, Daffy and Porky returned to their original selves, left confused over what just transpired. Sora was too busy looking for Scratchansniff to notice his friends being foolish. The strangest thing was Scratchansniff was nowhere to be found. Sora just couldn't understand it; he knew he saw him come in here. People just don't vanish into thin air like that. While scratching his head thinking, Sora finally found him, but was wide eyed and didn't believe what he saw.
"You guys should probably see this!" Sora called to Daffy and Porky.
The two animals came to Sora's side to see what was up. Sora pointed and there was Scrachansniff. There was only one problem; he was now only a few inches tall and running across the table into an electrical outlet that opened like a door!
Sora put his hands on the table and got a closer look at the outlet, "I don't get it. How did he get so small?"
"Or maybe the question is are you too big?" A voice asked him back.
The trio looked down to where the voice was coming from. Two rodents were inside a small cage. They had tan hands and feet, white fur, pink skin in their ears and red noses.
Our heroes almost jumped in a startle. Sora quirked an eyebrow at the fact he found more talking animals.
"Talking lab rats?" Daffy asked in disbelief.
The smaller of the two rats with the larger head and a tail bent like a staircase, which spoke earlier, told Daffy in an Orson Welles deadpan voice, "No. We are genetically enhanced mice. My name is the Brain, and this is my associate, Pinky."
Pinky, the taller of the two rats with a straighter tail and an overbite, waved and spoke in a Cockney accent, "Oh, I love meeting new people, I do," he laughed, "Narf!"
Sora never heard of such a word before, "Narf? What does that mean?"
Pinky thought about it, "Well, it's kind of like Poit or Zort!"
Almost made Sora wish he hadn't said anything, "That's what I get for asking something ridiculous."
"P-p-pardon us, but we were following a psychiatrist looking man in his way to court," Porky explained.
"Court?" the Brain got a devilish smile with an idea, "Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering."
"I think so, Brain, but just because Han didn't shoot first doesn't make me hate the special editions," Pinky said off topic.
The Brain angrily grabbed Pinky by the nose and pulled it down so their eyes were right across from one another, "No, Pinky! Our plan for world domination!" he pulled back on Pinky's nose and let go, ricocheting back to Pinky's face, "I shall disguise myself as a lawyer and work my way up the latter until we get a case taken to the highest Supreme court! For he who controls a court of law, can eventually control the world!"
"Egad, Brain! Brilliant!" Pinky clapped his hands overjoyed, but stopped in realization, "Oh, wait. No. No. Won't you need a diploma from law school first?"
"That shouldn't be too difficult to acquire. My intellect can surely handle any test including one on law and justice," Brain picked at the lock of the cage door with a paperclip and unlocked it to open.
Mice that were trying to take over the world seemed farfetched to Sora, Daffy and Porky, especially the last two who thought they'd seen everything. Daffy pulled out a sign showing a picture of a screw and a baseball indicating he sees Pinky and the Brain as screwballs. Nevertheless, Sora needed to ask them one last thing.
"Before you go," Sora put his hand in the way of the two mice, "What do we have to if we want to be small?"
The Brain pointed to a table with two bottles on it, "There's a shrinking potion on that table. It'll make you as small as a mouse…so to speak," he turned his attention back to his comrade, "Come, Pinky! To Harvard!"
Music started to play after he said that. It was the anthem to Harvard usually played by the band during football games. As it turns out, it was simply Pinky playing lots of instruments ala a one-man band.
The Brain turned to Pinky annoyed, "Stop that, Pinky, or I will have to hurt you."
Pinky stopped playing, "Sorry."
Back with our heroes, Porky and Daffy didn't want another poof experience with drinking formulas so they said to Sora in unison, "You drink it first."
"Okaaay," Sora of course being oblivious to what happened between his friends.
He drank what was in the bottle then handed it to Daffy, who drank as well, then to Porky who drank last. After a few seconds, they all began to slowly shrink down until they were the size of a rodent. Everything in the room now was gigantic or oversized due to them being as small as they were.
"N-n-now I know how Micro-Machines feel like," Porky mentioned.
Daffy was walking, but stopped when he saw Sora and Porky weren't following him, "What are you waiting for, an invitation?"
Sora had his arms crossed and talked sarcastically, "You plan building stairs, an escalator or just an elevator?" he pointed up for his friends to see that it was a long way up now to the table where Scratchansniff was. At their current size, it would take a long time to get up.
"Neither," Daffy smirked rolling up his sleeves, "Hold on," he told Sora. Sora held on to Daffy's back and started flapping his wings to try and fly up. He had a bit of trouble, but managed to get off the ground flapping his wings, "Grab on, cadet."
Porky saluted, "Y-y-yes sir!"
Porky grabbed Daffy's legs and lifted Porky up. He flapped hardest he could and it looked they were going to make it up, but it was not to be as he panted and sweated from the weight Sora and Porky combined.
They started to descend back to the floor pretty fast and Porky got worried, "D-d-don't look now, but I think we're landing. W-w-w-w…" they hit the floor with all of them on their stomachs, "…oh my."
Sora, who was still on Daffy's back, stood up and helped up his friend, "Not used to carrying passengers, are you?"
Daffy dusted himself off, "Well, I'm a duck not a carrier pigeon."
Porky rested his chin on his hand and tapped his fingers frustrated, "N-n-now what?"
Sora began to wonder about another way they could go after Scratchansniff, then it occurred to him, "If one outlet led to the court room, maybe…" he saw another outlet at their level and walked over. Seeing it was more horizontal, he deuced that it would open like car trunk. He put his hands on the bottom and tried lifting it, but needed some help, "Come over here and give me a hand."
Daffy and Porky jogged over and they all lifted together. The outlet snapped out of the wall and the trio all backed as they got it open. Successful, they all went into the opening in hopes of catching up.
In the dark, white letters with red and blue highlights that red Warner Bros started lighting up as a narrator announced, "In the world of Hollywood pictures, humor is separated by two different types of comedy. One that involves dialogue jokes, and others that involve slapstick cartoon like jokes. This is a story about the latter," the Law & Order chong chong noise rang.
In a courtroom, an audience is sitting patiently for the session to start. WB security surrounded all the exits. One of the guards was carrying a wooden crate into the room. He was wearing a blue police uniform and was a rather large man with a five o'clock shadow of a beard. His name was Ralph. He put the crate down on the floor and opened it with a crowbar.
"Duuuuh, take cover people!" He warned in a voice that resembled Lenny from the novel Of Mice and Men.
Ralph ran to the side, and out of the crate bounced three puppy-looking animals with black fur, white faces, white feet and red noses and wearing white gloves. The tallest one was male and wore tan slacks with a yellow belt in it. The second male was wearing a red cap, sky blue turtleneck, and no pants. The third one was a girl wearing a pink skirt and a yellow flower tie in her ears.
"We're the Warner Brothers!" Announced the boys Yakko (the tall one) and Wakko (the one with the hat)
"And the Warner Sister!" added the girl known as Dot.
The siblings all did a little dance as they began to sing together, "There was a tallest Warner bro, and Yakko was his name-o/Y-A-K-K-O, Y-A-K-K-O, Y-A-K-K-O/"
Yakko sang solo, "And Yakko is my name-o!"
They sang in unison again, "And he had a little Warner Bro, and Wakko was his name-o/W-A-K-K-O, W-A-K-K-O, W-A-K-K-O/"
Wakko finished, "And Wakko is my name-o!"
Before the next verse could start, Yakko spoke up, "Stop! Stop the music!" the music ran slower like a tape recording until there was silence, "I just realized Dot has only three letters, this song needs five. Of course we could…"
Dot new what her brother was about to say and interrupted in a threatening tone, "Call me Dotty and you won't like what'll happen when we get home."
Yakko retorted that with a wisecrack, " We already have to see what you look like in the morning."
Before a sibling argument could ensue, Dr. Scratchansniff ran into the room and stopped to catch his breath "I need to get in better shape," he panted.
Wakko took that a bit too literal, "How about a circle?" he turned his body into what was to resemble a hula-hoop and rolled around until he toppled. He got back up and morphed his body again, "Or a triangle?" he indeed was now a triangle, took a little stick and rang himself like the musical instrument. One more time, he morphed, "Or a polygon?" he looked similar to a computerized version of himself.
Scratchansniff corrected finally corrected Wakko, "No, no. I meant running shape."
Dot raised a question, "Is that what they mean by running circles around the competition?"
Scratchansniff grew impatient as he always did with the Warner sibs, "I don't have time for this!" he looked at his watch again and freaked, "No time! No time! I'm late! I'm late!"
Wakko looked at Yakko and Dot, "Where have we heard that before?"
The trio all rubbed their chins in thought as the music from Final Jeopardy played. When the music stopped, they just shrugged it off.
Sora, Daffy and Porky all walked into the room soon after.
Sora was just as surprised as anyone, "That doctor led us right into a court."
Daffy rubbed his hand with glee, "Oh, boy! This ought to be interesting!"
Porky found an empty row and sat down followed by his two friends.
Scratchansniff made the announcement to the courtroom, clearing his throat. He read his announcement off a piece of paper, "Your attention please! The case of the Warner Bros. Studio versus the Warner Sister, Dot, is now in session!"
Dot gasped in shock, "I'm the one on trial? What did I do?"
In kid like brotherly fashion, Yakko and Wakko taunted Dot's misfortune in sing song-y voices, "You're in so much trouble."
Dot quickly protested, "I'm innocent, I tell ya! The only thing I'm guilty of is being so darn cute."
She made a cutesy face causing the people of jury go, "Aw," all Yakko and Wakko could do is roll their eyes.
Scratchansniff continued his announcement, "All rise for the C.E.O. of Warner Bros. Studio, Thaddeus Plotz, presiding as judge."
Everyone including Sora's company stood up. Walking to the judges stand was a short man with a girth of a stomach, though not as big as Ralph, and was bald with only a strand of white hair going around the back of his head. He wore a blue business suit, white shirt underneath, red tie, gray pants and black dress shoes. When Mr. Plotz sat down, he took the wooden gavel and hammered the sound block on his desk.
"Everyone, please take your seats," Plotz ordered. All but the Warner sibs took their seats, which he was quick to point out, "That includes you three."
Yakko joked to the C.E.O., "You didn't say Simon says."
Plotz had no time for jokes and sternly demanded, "Just please find your seats!"
Yakko, Wakko and Dot again took the literal road, searching around the room calling for their chairs like they were lost dogs, "Chair? Here boy! Where are you?"
Plotz gritted his teeth while a vein could be seen throbbing on his forehead. He took his aggression by hitting the gravel on the sound block and yelling, "Order! Order!"
Wakko thought that meant an order of food, "I'll have two patties with nice, soft, warm buns."
Yakko took his brothers sentence as something else and blew a kiss to the jury, "Goodnight, everybody!"
Ralph grabbed all three sibs by the ears and dropped them into their chairs.
Plotz took a deep breath to calm down, "Thank you, Ralph."
Ralph felt flattered and smiled while holding his hat, "Aw, don't thank me. It's my job."
Plotz turned his attention back to Dot and her brothers, "Now I'm sure you're wondering why you three are here today."
Dot was in a brides maid dress, "Because the wedding got postponed?"
Yakko had a yarmulke on his head, "Our cousins bar mitzvah is next week?"
Wakko revealed Bingo markers in his hands; "I'm too early for Bingo night?"
Plotz decided it was time to persuade the people in the room, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do not be fooled by the over cuteness of Dot. She is unanimously the guilty party involved in this scandal."
Wakko couldn't understand what Plotz is accusing Dot of doing, "What's the charge?"
Yakko put on a brimless hat with a see through green brim and started adding on a calculator, "Add up each of our salaries, take into account our savings, plus the credit cards, plus Animaniacs merchandise," Yakko showed the number to Wakko, who whistled at seeing a large number. Yakko nodded, "You're not just whistling Dixie."
Scratchansniff spoke up, "Now, children, I'm sure Mr. Plotz has a good reasonable explanation for his accusation. Don't you, sir?"
Plotz nodded, "Indeed, Scratchansniff," then he shouted, "She and her brothers are responsible for all the other ruckus that happens around the studio! Who's not to say Dot was also the cause of the crime?"
Dot looked at you, the readers and asked, "You call that explanation reasonable?"
Mr. Plotz finished his rant to relax, "Nevertheless, I must hear what the defendant has to say in her defense."
The Warner sibs were now wearing Football gear. Yakko spoke like the team captain, "You heard the man, we're down, but we're not out! Remember that the best defense is a strong offense. We hit the play off, and when they least expect it, BAM! We kick it right out of the park. Let's go!"
They put their hands over the others and chant together, "One, two, three, break!"
Mr. Plotz put rested his chin on one hand and tapped his fingers against the desk. He was not amused at all with the antics of these unknown species, "Are you finished?"
Yakko, Wakko and Dot said innocently, "Yes, Mr. Plotz."
"Good," Plotz pointed to Dot, "I call Dot Warner to the stand."
Dot walked up to the stand and took her seat. Wakko came to her sister with a book of law for her to put her hand on. She lifted her other hand as Wakko did the standard procedure, "You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?"
Dot made a peace sign with her fingers, "Scout's honor."
Wakko motioned to his brother, "Okay, brother, you're up."
Yakko jumped on the banister and put his index finger on Dot's nose, "Where were you on the night of July sixteenth?"
Dot responded back with a question of her own, "July sixteenth nineteen forty-seven, July sixteenth nineteen sixty-nine, July sixteenth nineteen eighty-five? Give me a hint here."
Yakko removed his finger from Dot's nose and responded calmly, "I can vouch for you on all of those. I was there," he then went back to being serious, "Sister Dot, is it true that Mel Gibson has threatened a lawsuit against you?"
"Is that what the paper was? I thought it was a marriage license," Dot giggled. Indeed, she had a celebrity crush on the movie star.
Yakko looked over the paper and looked it over, "Invasion of his privacy, the taking of personal belongings to sell over the internet, and always following him so stalking," He brings Mel himself into the room, "Don't take my word for it. Ask him yourself."
Dot's eyes filled with hearts and she melted into a puddle at the sight of her favorite film star. She quickly recovered and gave the Warners signature howl, "Hellooooooooooooo Nurse!"
All she got in return was a bullet shot that disintegrated the flower in her head. Mel pulled back his Beretta 92F, "…Has just been revoked."
"Get him out of here!" Plotz yelled at security.
"Do I still get my million bucks?" Mel asked Yakko.
Before Yakko could answer, Plotz yelled at him more impatiently, "NOW!"
Mel ran toward the exit, "Okay! Okay! #! "
Plotz gave a glare to Yakko, "This case has nothing to do with a lawsuit!"
Yakko's eyebrows raised, "Really? This could have been the pilot to a new show, celebrity court!" he whispered to you, the readers, "Don't get any ideas if you decide to go to Hollywood," he ripped apart the paper in his hand and threw it in the air, "Forget everything I just said."
Dot got just about fed up with this whole thing revolving around her for something she allegedly didn't do. The worst part being she doesn't even know what she did! "I protest! I'm as innocent as a newborn baby. C.E.O. of the studio or not, we're all in agreement that it doesn't mean you can boss around like a meanie mc-loudmouth."
"Quiet!" Plotz shouted so loud that it caused a gust of wind to blow against Dot's fur. He slammed the table with his fists in anger, "You dare question my authority?"
Wakko interjected, "That depends. Can we double dare you back?"
Continuing with the celebrity feel, game show host Marc Summers was behind the "Double Dare" stand on the side of the room, "Now worth eighty dollars or you can take the physical challenge."
Watching this made Sora almost speechless on what to say. Just one world visited and he already couldn't believe what he was witnessing, "This has to be the kookiest trial I've ever seen."
"If you think this is nuts, you should see what lawsuits get carried around nowadays," Commented Daffy, "All these kids doing lethal stunts, blaming video games and TV, but do the parents punish them for what they did? No! They grab the first lawyer they find so they don't have to take the blame! Believe me, with what lawyers get paid, that's an easy day at the office."
Sora scoffed, "What a bunch of idiots," getting back on topic with the court, he felt he and his friends need to do something, "If Dot claims she didn't do anything, maybe we should help her out, guys. The judge isn't giving her a fair trial."
Daffy and Porky glanced at each other with a worrying look on their face. Porky had to say something before Sora did something without thinking, "We c-c-can't do anything, Sora. We're not from this world, so it's against the rules to m-m-m-…"
Daffy jumped in to finish his friends' sentence to stop the grunt/stutter, "Meddling!"
Rules? What did they mean there were rules? Sora continued to find out; "You guys didn't tell me earlier that there were rules. Why can't I get involved?"
"It's like this," Daffy began, "Imagine introducing concepts to another world where an outsider's physics don't apply and pandemonium happening all because there's something they wouldn't understand, something they couldn't understand, things they shouldn't understand."
"M-m-mankinds fear of the unknown," Porky added.
Sora nodded in understanding, "Okay, that would be bad…obviously," he then sighed in disappointment. It wasn't like Sora to sit around and not help out a person in need. In fact, it was one of the reasons he makes a lot of friends. He thought to himself, "Great, the girl's about to be sentenced and I can't do anything about it."
The sentence came sooner than expected with Plotz being the judge, "Has the court reached the verdict?"
Wakko snatched a rope tied together in a noose from one of the jurors, "Either this is part of the execution, or it's a hung jury," he then slurped the rope like spaghetti and ate it.
"Then I'll decide the verdict," Plotz offered, "The court finds the defendant, Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo Besca the Third, guilty above all!" Dot's jaw dropped straight to the floor, seriously. Her jaw stretched so long it landed on the floor. Plotz resumed what he was saying, "On the crimes of assault and battery, as well as an attempted theft of my heart."
That last part caught the attention of Sora, Daffy and Porky. Sora gasped, "You hear what I heard?"
Daffy responded, "I think it just became our business."
Plotz pointed at Dot, "Her punishment is to be erased from existence!"
Executioners entered the room all carrying large pencils to do the job. Erasers were one of the few things guaranteed to kill a cartoon character such as Dot.
Dot and Yakko embraced each other and cried, "We want to stick together!"
Wakko grabbed Scratchansniff by the collar feeling hysterical, "You're the pee-psychiatrist. Do something!"
Scratchansniff put Wakko down and felt very sorry for him. Even though the Warner sibs were annoying with their antics, they weren't bad children and he was sort of their father figure, "I'm sorry, Wakko, but this is out of my control."
"Hold it right there!" called out Sora. He and his friends ran down the isle to stop the erasing from happening.
Plotz put his hands on the desk and sat up to get a closer look at the trio who was interfering with the sentencing, "What is the meaning of this?" Sora, Daffy and Porky all stopped to face Mr. Plotz. They could tell he was upset, "Go back in your seats and don't interrupt the court again!"
Sora was the first to speak up in defense, "Excuse the interruption, sir, but there's been a misunderstanding with this whole case. We know who the real culprit is."
Porky nodded in agreement, "W-w-w-we certainly do, and that culprit is the heart-" he quickly covered his mouth with both hands, catching himself before he made a grave mistake.
Sora looked back at Mr. Plotz and pointed at Dot, "As I was saying, the Warner Sister isn't the one you're looking for."
Dot cracked a joke, "I didn't even know I was lost."
Sora snickered a bit, "Okay, now that was funny. You're Daffy."
Daffy got in front of Sora, "No, I'm Daffy!"
Wakko took it from there, "And I'm Wakko, and that's Yakko."
Yakko looked over the Looney Tunes, "Hey, the two of you look familiar."
"I should, you t-t-tried untwisting my tail many times," Porky reminded them bitterly.
"So what's your name, kid?" Dot asked.
"It's Sora," Sora introduced.
"Ahem," Mr. Plotz cleared his throat and got back on topic, "I hate to tell you this, but you speak nonsense, young man. Have you any kind of proof to what you claim?"
Sora was at a lost for words right there and felt embarrassed. Plotz caught him red handed, or empty handed in this case "Uh…oops."
Ralph the Guard showed off his watch to Mr. Plotz, "Uh, sir, I thinks you should see the time."
Plotz groaned that he'd have to postpone the execution for a bit, "Drat it! Put her in the cage so she can't run away."
Ralph obeyed and put Dot a cage, which upset her, "Can't I at least get one with a view?"
Plotz talked to Sora and his group, "Since you three are convinced that Dot isn't the culprit, I'll give you just twenty minutes to find evidence, no matter how big or small and bring it back here when you're finished or else."
Porky was curious, "P-p-perhaps I shouldn't ask, but or else w-w-what?"
Pro wrestling star, Bret "Hitman" Hart was in front of guillotines, electric chairs, torture tables, "Or else prepare to be excellently executed."
Sora gasped at the sheer thought of having to be sentenced like that while Daffy gulped.
"Oh! Or else that!" Porky understood though he wished he didn't asked. Nevertheless, he motioned to his friends, "C-c-come on, l-l-l-let's go."
Sora, Daffy and Porky exited the room and Plotz addressed the jury, "Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a twenty minute recess."
"I call first dibs on the slide!" Yakko thought it meant recess like in school.
"A tire swing, that's for me!" Wakko joined in.
Plotz put his head on the desk and put his hands over it (his head), "Talk me down, Scratchansniff, talk me down."
"It'll be over soon, Mr. Plotz. Just keep reminding yourself of that," Scratchansniff told him in a doctor to patient sort of way.
Back outside, Sora, Daffy and Porky took a pause for a moment to discuss their unfortunate predicament. All they wanted was to find their missing friends and now they're caught in the middle of a trial when they weren't originally involved. They knew for sure that the Heartless were somehow the ones behind this, but they didn't know which one since they knew there was more than one kind. Was it worth risking an unnecessary execution for?
Daffy played the blame game, "This is all your fault, you know."
"This is my fault!?" Sora asked appalled.
"Glad to see you agree with me," Daffy smirked. He felt he let Sora walk into that one. Sora however had a sarcastic look on his face. Daffy argued his reason as to why, "You know that you could have thought a bit more of what to do before giving in to your chivalrous impulse!"
Sora pointed the finger right back at Daffy and argued, "Hey, I'm not the one opened his big beak and said that it officially became our business!"
The argument probably would have continued, but Porky tried to get back to the task at hand, "P-p-pardon me, but we only have a short am-m-m-m-limited time to find some evidence, or…" he made a slashing gesture with his thumb against his throat, making a scratching noise with his voice.
Suddenly, they heard a noise in an alleyway between two buildings. Deciding to investigate, they got out their weapons and crept slowly into the alley. While they had not seen any Heartless as of yet since they got in this world, neither of them wanted to take any chances in case they were attacked. Observing their surroundings, there was no sign of the creatures of darkness, but more noise coming from trashcans in front of them. The noisemakers were nothing more than a cat and dog.
The dog had tan fur, light brown hair, floppy ears that were dark brown like the spots on his back (including one big spot), a black nose, white fur from his cheeks trailing though his stomach Also white was the tip of his tail, and paws and he a bit of an overbite like Pinky. The cat had gray fur, a small pink nose, pink skin could be seen in her ears, eyes with emerald irises, white paws, and white fur also from her cheeks trailing to her stomach and on the top of her tail. They were Rita and Runt, a mismatched pair of strays.
Daffy grew angry with the two for making them think they were the enemy, "Who do you think you are making all that racket?"
Runt didn't realize the question was rhetorical and gave an answer, "Oh, my name is Runt, and this is my friend Rita. We're definitely Rita and Runt. Definitely."
Rita licked her paw and groomed her fur a bit like a cat would do, "Nice to make your acquaintance."
Daffy looked at the pair and felt a bit of irony, "Hey, Sora, look at that. A cat and a dog getting along."
"A cat?" Runt quickly got angry and growled, "Where's a cat? I'll pulverize it! Wherever it is," the problem was Runt didn't know what a cat looked like and thought Rita was also a dog herself.
Rita took it in stride and said to the trio, "I won't tell him if you won't."
The boys all looked at one another with expressions on their faces that asked the other to make sense out of the situation. It's not often cats and dogs got along, but to have a dog not even know what a cat is, that's just unheard of.
"Rita, why does Dot have to get erased?" Runt asked with sound of sorrow, "We both know that she's not guilty."
Sora took the opportunity since he found two who also knew that Dot was in trouble for nothing, "That's what the two of us are out here to find. Tell us who the culprit is!"
Rita turned her back to the group as music started to play, "Kid, you got a lot to learn about pets. We see everything that happens from the doorknobs down, but we don't everything to people. All the answers, the guilty party and us pets lay low in the darkness."
"But this is important!" Sora insisted. He wasn't about to be executed for this.
Rita sang a few notes about the culprit, "There is none left in the city, they've all said goodbye and they're gone/but they left behind four boxes filled with evidence you could find one by one/three should give you no trouble, you could collect in the pop of a bubble/but trying to get the fourth box may not be as fun/if you manage to get them, I could give a little reward/nothing to big or too small just something you could afford/so, go, look, there's…still…tiiiiiiiime/"
Sora commented once the music stopped, "That's actually a bit helpful and a rather catchy song, too."
"Aw, Rita does the best singing," Runt complimented, "She should continue singing when we find a home."
"What do you think, kid?" Daffy asked Sora, "You think we can trust their words?"
"I may not know a lot about trust since I've had it bad with past owners, but I can trust one thing. Trusting you boys can decide amongst yourselves."
On the decision end, the trio was willing to take any help they could get. Sora waved bye to Rita and Runt, "Thanks a lot."
Porky added, "And g-g-g-good luck finding yourself a home."
Sora, Daffy and Porky left the alley leaving Rita and Runt to themselves.
"Those were a swell bunch of guys. Definitely, definitely swell!" Runt said in his demeanor.
"Yeah, well, let's get out of this dump and find some real food," Rita picked up a fish skeleton and was disgusted, "Yuck! Smelly and no meat, a lose/lose combination."
Meanwhile, Porky and Daffy took a cigarette break while talking with Sora about how they were going to find the evidence.
"F-f-four different pieces of evidence to find. W-w-which one should we look for first?" Porky asked his friends.
Daffy took his cigarette out of his mouth and blew some smoke, "Who cares? Let's just find one and get back to the courtroom. TP said he'd be happy with at least one."
Sora shook his head, "No, I say we have a better chance at proving Dot's innocent if we find all four pieces."
"If we go for finding all f-f-f-four of them, maybe we should split up to cover more g-g-g-g-more space."
"That would be a great way to get lost, Porky," Sora disagreed, "We got to stick together while we're on this mission."
"And besides," Daffy interjected, "This world is a pretty big one. We could easily get lost."
Not wanting to waste the time they had left, Sora ushered that they should leave, "Well, that settles it for me. Let's see what we can find."
Porky's started shaking nervously and pointed behind his friends, "S-s-s-someone already found us!"
Daffy and Sora turned around to see that Heartless have indeed invaded this world like they've done others. Shadows formed from the ground and Soldiers appeared with them.
Sora got into a fighting stance ready to swing the Keyblade at any that got in his way, "You guys are in a lot of trouble now."
Porky puffed his cigarette, put it on the ground and stepped on it to put it out before picking up his staff. Daffy already had his bow ready, so he taunted the heartless by taking his cigarette and flicking it right in a Soldiers face. The Soldier screeched at the burn as it rubbed its face getting the ashes off. While it was distracted, Daffy set a fire arrow in his bow and shot it at the same Soldier. A direct hit brought it down in flames. Sora, knowing now he could use magic, smirked and pointed his Keyblade right at the Heartless group, gripping the handle with both hands.
"Fire!" Sora declared.
A fireball quickly formed at the tip of the Keyblade and shot right out as fast as any ammunition being shot out of a conventional weapon. Sora fired rapid shots at a Shadow, hitting it and burning it at the third shot. A Shadow leaped at him ready to claw his skin. Sora used his knew dodge roll ability to evade the attack and when he got up, shot a fire spell, defeating the monster instantly. One more Shadow formed into the ground and sneaked behind Sora before going solid again. Sora had a feeling there was something behind him and quickly pointed the Keyblade at the Shadow, shooting it with a fire spell and destroying it.
"See ya!" was Sora's last words to the monster. He could definitely get used to this magic part of fighting.
"T-t-take that!" Porky shouted at a Soldier as he did a wind up and slid with his staff out in front, knocking the Heartless back.
The Soldier put his claws down at Porky, connecting with his quarterstaff. The two were in a small struggle until Porky pulled it down and gave a thrust of the middle right at the Soldiers jaw. The Soldier was knocked on it's back, but got up and did its dash spin kick right at Porky. Porky brought his staff up and the Heartless foot landed on the staff and was now a little heavy for Porky to handle as he kept moving to keep his balance. The Heartless kept trying to scratch Porky's face while the pig moved his feat very fast backward. He ducked his head forward and now had the staff on his shoulders as well as the Soldier. Porky turned his staff around so it was in front of him and when the Heartless put its claws on the staff, Porky flipped it over off his shoulders and slammed it hard on the ground.
The Soldier had little time to react the next time it got up, as a fire arrow from Daffy got it from behind and it burned into ashes. One more Soldier to content with. The Heartless clawed at Daffy, but he jumped away and readied another fire arrow. He shot it, but the Soldier did its flip kick to not only dodge the arrow, but also try to hit Daffy. Daffy luckily jerked his body left for the Soldier to miss. He took out another arrow, but yelped and ducked away as the Soldier tried to attack again. Daffy ran enough so he had enough space but not so far away that he'd have a bad shot and readied his arrow. He aimed at the charging Soldier and released his projectile, with a burned Heartless to show for it.
The group felt triumphant thinking that was the last of them until Sora got shot from behind by a fire spell, which caused him to yelp. He bumped into a wall and felt the hard bricks against his back.
"Ouch! Who did that?" he saw a new kind of Heartless he had never seen before.
The Heartless were the Red Nocturne. A red, flying Heartless that charged up fire spells and shot them at unsuspecting victims.
"Well, there's a big surprise!" Daffy said sarcastically.
The Red Nocturne was not alone and two more flew next to it. They charged their fire spells and we aiming right for Daffy and Porky. The two tried to run, but they each got a shot right in the tails.
"YEOW!" Porky screamed. He hopped around like mad with his tail cooking his little curly tail.
Daffy put his pointer and index fingers on his tongue, rubbed some saliva on them and pressed them against Porky's tail, extinguishing the small flame.
Porky sighed with relief and turned to his friend, "Thanks."
"Naturally," Daffy then felt something strange and sniffed the air, "Hey, you smell something still burning?" he took a good whiff and got a worried look on his face, "Oh no, it smells like…" he turned around to reveal his tail did catch a flame as well, "Tail feathers!" he hopped around while patting his hand against the fire to put it out. Seeing a puddle of water nearby, he quickly sat down in it. Steam came out of the put out flame as Daffy sighed with relief.
"Will you two quit fooling around?" Sora asked impatient.
"Who's fooling?" Porky and Daffy asked in unison.
Five Red Nocturnes all surrounded the three fighters.
"We got the wrong arrows and magic for this job," Daffy pointed out.
"Simple problem solver. We do it melee style!" Sora instructed.
Each of them charged at their new targets. Sora jumped up at one Red Nocturne and gave it an uppercut slash with one hand. The Heartless spun in the air fast when it got hit. Sora landed on the ground and slashed at the Nocturne again only for it to fly higher up and got behind Sora. He quickly looked behind him to see it charge up another fire spell. When the fireball got shot at him, he jumped over it. The Heartless charged up another shot and fired. Sora ducked under that one and ran at the Red Nocturne who charged up another shot and fired. Sora knocked away the fireball with his Keyblade, jumped in the air, and slashed the Heartless several times ending with one spin slash to finish the job and send the Heartless back to where it came from.
Daffy was caught between two Nocturnes. He detached his bow and spun it around like nunchaku. The Heartless both charged up their blasts and fired at Daffy, who whipped his bow to deflect one fireball back with one end of his bow, and then the other fireball. Then he swung the bow part at the Heartless, knocking them back several inches. Daffy swung his bow like a whip at one Nocturne, but it flew above so Daffy would miss. Knowing that it would be behind him now, Daffy swung the bow backward and the string wrapped around the Nocturne. Daffy gave pulled the trapped Heartless right into the other Nocturne, colliding on target. The Nocturnes were not finished however. One charged up a shot while the other tried to bump Daffy with its lower body. Daffy dodged underneath, and when the fireball shot out, he jumped while facing the one that tried to bump him and hit it to finish it off and then spun around quickly, doing the same to the other Heartless.
Porky was running from the two Nocturnes he was trying to fend off. Two fireballs were shot to which Porky leaped over one and then the other. He saw two cinderblocks on the ground and wedged his staff between them. Both were heavy enough that he could bend his staff back a bit. When the Heartless got close enough, he let go and the staff whacked them right in the faces. Porky took the staff back out and got into a stance. The Nocturnes put Porky in-between them. One got ready to fire and then the other one. Porky had enough time to deflect one fireball with his staff and then turn around and deflect the other. He slipped off part of the sidewalk and nearly fell, but he stepped into a puddle. The Heartless fired another shot, but he moved and it disintegrated into the water, emitting steam. Seeing that made Porky know just how to seize the moment by waiting until both Nocturnes were close to him. Once they were he leaped into the air and swing his staff twice, hitting each of them to the ground, onto the puddle. Both screamed out in pain as steam filled the air and they returned to the darkness.
The boys waited a minute for any more attacks. When there were none, they put their guard down.
Daffy wiped his hands clean and began walking, "Well, that's that. Huh?"
What made him stop was the appearance of more Shadows and Soldiers.
Porky looked to you, the readers, "P-p-pardon me, but have you ever had to deal with someone who won't leave you alone?"
Sora remembered what he was told in Traverse Town, "Leon was right. The Heartless will just keep coming after me," he pointed his sword at the creatures, "All of you scared of this?" he tried to shoot another fire spell, but nothing happened, "Hey, how come it's not working?"
Daffy had to inform the boy of how magic works, "I forgot to tell you. Magic is very limited in its power. You'll have to keep drinking ethers if you want to recharge it, but don't feel discouraged. The stronger you get you'll become more reliant on your own to earn back power."
"So this fight is the perfect way to build it up!" Sora grinned.
A Soldier started the fight by doing its dashing spin kick right toward the Keyblade master. Sora held up his Keyblade and the foot and sword collided into a stand still. Sora pushed back and tripped the Heartless, brought his sword up while it was on the ground and then down, clanging against its armor. A Shadow kicked Sora right in the face. He held his jaw, allowing the Soldier to get back up. Sora ran at the shadow, got on top of its head, leaped off and gave a three-way air combination to the Soldier. Turning around the face the shadow, he slashed at it only for it to form into the ground. With a bit of time on his hands, he took a bottle of ether out of his pocket that he got from the item shop. After drinking it, he waited for the shadow to form back, and then he put the Keyblade under it, flung the Heartless into the air and fired his spell to finish.
The Soldier head butted Sora, catching him off guard and having him land in a sitting down position. He got up and ran dashed at the Soldier to give it a taste of it's own medicine. Sora jumped, put out his left foot and kicked the Heartless in the chest. The Soldier hit the wall hard and collapsed face first onto the ground. It got up only for Sora to horizontally slash it. The heartless dissipated soon after.
Daffy reattached his bow so he could fire his arrows again. A Shadow leaped and tried a slash at the beak. Daffy quickly backed away and continued to back away as the Heartless continued to swipe at him. Daffy saw a loose sewer lid right underneath him and put it up as a shield. The Shadow scratched his claws against the hard metal and the resulting sound was like nails on a chalkboard to which Daffy grinded his teeth at the horrible sound.
"Time to put a lid on this!" Daffy shoved the Shadow into the manhole and placed the lid back onto it. He put his hands to his beak and shouted at the fallen shadow, "Get it? Put a lid on?" A shadow back raked him causing him to walk forward while holding his back, "No sense of humor," he groaned in pain. He stood his bow on the ground to point at the Heartless with an arrow ready to strike. One release later and the monster burned to dust.
Porky had three Shadows to contend with. He ran with his staff out like a pole, placed into the ground and thrust himself up against a building, followed by him putting his arms and legs around the staff and sliding down. Once to the ground, he lifted his weapon up and swung it horizontally, hitting two Soldiers in the face. The third Soldier kicked Porky's skull right against the wall. He was dazed for a few seconds, but shook it off. He got up and put his staff up on his shoulders. Spinning around and around as fast he could, he acted like a spinning top hit the three Soldiers down one by one. Porky got so fast that his Staff almost acted like a fan. It was as sharp as one; too, it looked like because when the three Soldiers got up, they were each torn to shreds by the wooden weapon. Porky finally stopped spinning and was stumbling around all dizzy.
"We better go find that evidence before while we still have time," Sora said in a rush. He and Daffy ran down the streets with Porky following suit like a dizzy kid who just got out of a spinning ride. Only a short amount of time left remained. No time to lose or they could lose their heads over this. That is, if the Heartless didn't do so first.
We shall find out next time.
In my closing statements here at the end, I'd first like to grant a thousand apologies to all the patient people who have read this story and still kept it in their favorites. A year I feel is too long to wait until putting up a new story, much less a new chapter. It wasn't that my creative juices weren't flowing, but laziness and the will to continue a particular story when you're focused on another project really gets one distracted. That being said, I took careful approach when dealing with this chapter over the past several days and with me having the Animaniacs sets on DVD not only brought back a lot of memories, but also helped a great deal for me to do these characters justice. My friends whom I previewed this to loved the jokes and action and I hope you do to, but I'll wait for you all to say that in your reviews. Stay tuned if you haven't seen your favorite Animaniacs character yet, I guarantee some familiar favorites will appear. TTFN! Ta, Ta for now.
