Disclaimer: Okay, I left everyone in suspense long enough as to when I'll have the KH crew prove Dot's innocence. Netflix subscription and starting a new job at Toys 'R Us aside, this chapter deserves completion. In this chapter, you'll see some other Animaniacs favorites (not all, but a fair amount) who all lead Sora and company to important parts of the story. Enjoy!
Chapter seven: Proving Innocence (or how I was forced to be a detective so no one would be executed)
Out in a suburban area in Burbank was a neighborhood. A particular house was white with a red roof, and red roofs over the front porch, a picture window on the side and over the back door. There were also red flaps on each window. Two of the windows were in front and five on the side including the picture window, plus a circular window right below the houses roof. There were two paths leading to the black bar gate in the front yard and a back door amongst the large white piquet fence surrounding the lawn. In that lawn was a doghouse, also white with a red roof.
Beside the doghouse was the dog, which was now sleeping. He had orange brownish fur all over him, except for a brown spot of fur from his lower back reaching to a stripe on his tail. Yellowish tan fur ran from his snout, down his stomach and to the underside of his tail. His paws were also yellowish tan, his ears were brown with pink insides, and had a black nose. As the name written on the doghouse implied, his name was Buttons. Unlike most of the animals in the world of Animaniacs, Buttons was a non-anthropomorphized animal that couldn't talk or walk on his hind legs most of the time.
At the big tree amongst the yard was a little girl laughing and playing in her blue harness. She had blue eyes, blond hair and wore a white t-shirt with purple overalls, white socks, and shiny black shoes with a belt strap on them while the upper part of her feet were exposed. Her name was Mindy Sadlier.
Mindy looked to the other side of the yard beyond the black bar gate. On the sidewalk stood a pink box, "Present!"
Sora, Daffy and Porky were walking down the same sidewalk looking for clues to prove Dot's innocence. Porky noticed a pink box on the ground and picked up to observe it, "N-n-n-now who would just leave a box like this in the middle of the street?" he opened up the lid and noticed something peculiar, "S-s-sora, D-d-daffy, get a load of this."
Sora and Daffy looked in the box along with Porky. Then the three looked at each other wide eyed and asked in a baffled unison, "Footprints in a box?"
Sora took another look and snapped his fingers in realization, "Bulls eye! I recognize the shape of the prints. It's just like the Heartless! I bet the rest of the evidence is in pink boxes like this one."
"That's one down and we got three more to…more to…" Daffy couldn't finish his sentence as she sneezed. The sneeze was so hard that it blue the box out of Porky's hands. Miraculously, the lid got back on it during the force of the sneeze and it landed in a newspaper van.
"Present," Mindy ran over to the newspaper van but couldn't reach out of the gate because of her harness. She pulled as hard as she could but couldn't get any further. She lifted her arms out of the harness and slipped out of it so she could now get to the box, "Present."
Sora whipped his hands as some of the sneeze got on them, "Ew. Cover your beak next time."
Porky handed Daffy a tissue to blow his nostrils, which the duck promptly did and threw the tissue over his shoulder. Porky looked to his left to see where the present left and gasped at what he saw next, "D-d-don't look now, but our present and a l-l-little girl are about to get a ride!"
Buttons' ears pointed up higher than they usually did in one of those wild takes. Buttons cringed his teeth at the thought and started whimpering. Whenever he got left alone, Mindy would find something and chase it, usually escaping from her harness and the yard. Buttons would follow her since she was his responsibility, however, Mindy would often walk into dangerous areas and would usually have danger just barely miss her or Buttons would save her. Too bad for Buttons he often received the brunt of the danger, leaving him in great physical pain. Ironically, Mindy would make it back to her home unharmed, but Mindy's parents would scold Buttons if anything bad happened. Nonetheless, he had a job to do and ran out of the yard to the van.
Daffy motioned to the boys, "Quick, grab them!" The trio hurried over, but was too late as the driver of the van closed the sliding door, got back in the vehicle and drove off. Buttons came to a screeching halt to the street, so he could swerve and start chasing. Sora, Daffy and Porky stopped at the corner and Porky called out for a cab, "T-t-taxi!" Just before Buttons could run out of the way, a taxicab came and drove right on top of him! Sora, Daffy and Porky got in the back of the car and Porky pointed to the van, "F-f-follow that van!" The cabbie nodded and did as the pig told. What was left when the smog cleared was a flattened buttons with tire marks on his fur. He popped back to shape, shook off the feeling and gave chase.
Inside the van, Mandy was about to grab the box, but the turn to the next street caused her to fall and the box to roll around, "Present!" the van came to a stop and the paperboy got out of the ride, opened the sliding door and took a stack of papers with him to make more deliveries. Mandy found the box again and was about to reach it, "present!" but accidentally kicked it and it ended up the basket of a bicycle that someone rode down the sidewalk! Mandy got out of the van and continued to follow. Soon, the taxicab stopped behind the van, but Buttons didn't stop quick enough and ended up squashed against the glass of the rear windshield! This made Mandy giggle, "Silly puppy," and she went back after the box.
Sora's group got out of the Taxi and he paid the cabbie, "Here you go, sir. This munny should do as a fare," afterwards, they continued their pursuit.
Further down the sidewalk was a handyman pulling on a rope. On the other end of the rope was a safe being hoisted upwards.
The bicycle with the box went passed the handyman, but Mindy stopped to look at the man work, "Hello, Mr. Man. Whatcha doing?"
"Lifting this safe up," the handyman replied.
"Why?" Mindy asked curious.
"Because it's too big and heavy to get through the door," answered the handyman.
"Why?" Mindy repeated.
"The picture window on the second floor can open and I can get it in the house that way," the handyman pointed out.
"Why?" Mindy said again.
The handyman grew irritated at this point; "I don't work at the safe manufacturer, so how should I know?"
"Okay, I love you, buh-bye!" Mindy then left.
"Nice kid," the man simply said. He then realized what he said, "What am I saying!?" he let go of the rope while he was in his state.
Sora, Daffy and Porky ran by, but just when a recovered Buttons came by as well, the safe landed right on him! The safes combination lock turned a few times and the door opened to reveal Buttons with a large lump on his head and a black eye fall to the ground.
The bicycle rider came to a stop and saw the box in his basket, "How did this get here?" he tossed the box aside, to which it landed on the road.
Mindy finally caught up with the box and picked it up, "Present!" but quickly got taken by Daffy.
"I got it!" Daffy declared.
Before he, Sora and Porky could celebrate; a large eighteen-wheeler truck came down the road, blowing its horn. The trio screamed in alarm, Sora picked up Mindy and they all ran. Buttons was about to catch up to them when they all ran past making Buttons spin around like a whirlwind. Buttons was so dizzy; he didn't react to the trucks horn and got hit by the front of the vehicle, taking him for a ride. Sora, Daffy and Porky kept running until they dodged to the left, landing on the sidewalk and letting the truck pass. They all panted to catch their breath.
Sora whipped the sweat from his forehead and saw where they were, "Hey, we're right back at the house where we found the pink box at."
"Isn't that convenient?" Daffy asked sarcastic. He handed the box to Porky, took Mindy out of Sora's hands and put her back in her harness tied to the tree, "That'll hold ya!" he marched back out of the yard to his friends, "Now let's find the rest of that evidence."
A dazed and roughed up Buttons stumbled back into the yard causing Mindy to giggle again, "Buttons look funny," Buttons plopped to the ground feeling he may need to consider another career.
A little later, Sora, Daffy and Porky were searching in the woods. Suspicious to them was one of the trees that had a mailbox next to it, a stoop, and a blue door with a red roof over it and two windows both with red flaps, a red shade roof over them and a blue platform, possibly for putting plants. One window was on the right side and one was further up indicating it was a two-story house.
Sora scratched his head when he saw the strange tree, "Never seen something like this before. I guess this is what you call a literal definition of a tree house," he knocked on the door to see if anyone was home.
After a few seconds of waiting, a squirrel opened the door. By the look of her posture and her carrying an umbrella like a cane, one could tell she was middle aged or a tad elderly. She had gray fur all over and white fur from her eyes to her stomach, plus white fur under her big, curly tail. She had pink nose, buckteeth, pink skin in her ears, blue eyes with her lids covered in purple eye shadow, and wore a green derby hat with a yellow strip and a yellow flower hanging out of it. Her name was Slappy Squirrel, a retired Hollywood animal star.
Slappy sounded cranky when she talked, "Yeah, what is it you want?"
Sora cleared his throat before explaining, "We're looking for a pink box with something inside and were wondering if you seen it."
All Slappy did was respond in sarcasm, "And I'm wondering if anyone's seen Rocky the Flying Squirrel in the past decade! What's it to ya?"
Porky looked at Daffy perplexed, "B-b-but Rocky and Bullwinkle aren't in this story."
Daffy put his index finger to his beak and shushed to Porky, "You trying to spoil things for the folks at home?"
Porky looked at you, the readers, in realization before apologizing, "Sorry."
Not paying any attention to that, Slappy continued, "What would this pink box look like anyway?"
Sora looked away when something caught his attention and he pointed, "It looks just like that."
Out in front of the three and Slappy jumped a smaller squirrel that was a young boy. He was brown furred with tan fur from his cheeks down to his stomach as well as under his also big, curly tail. He had a pink nose and buckteeth just like Slappy. His name was Skippy Squirrel.
"Aunt Slappy!" Skippy declared in a childish voice, "Take a look at what I got!" Sora was indeed correct; Skippy had in his hands a pink box just like the one Sora and co. found before, "I found this box in the forest! Can I keep whatever's inside?"
"You mean to tell me you bought that box all the way here and you don't even know what's inside?" Slappy asked, no idea as to why her nephew would.
"I wanted to make sure you thought it was safe. I'm just a kid," Skippy replied.
Slappy looked to you, the readers, "He's got me there since he's doing the responsible thing, I guess," then she bent down to Skippy's level to get a better look, "Alright, let's see what you got," Skippy opened the box and a strange aroma came out. It was so strong that Skippy's face turned green and he held his mouth ready to throw up. He dropped the box as he ran inside to the bathroom. That wasn't the only effect the aroma had, as the leaves on Slappy's tree fizzled in decay and several birds and tree animals feel out, hitting the ground with loud thuds. Slappy covered her nose in disgust, "Holy Toledo! That stinks worse than any movie starring the 3 Ninjas!" she put the lid on the box and handed it to Sora, "Here's what you wanted, kid," and she shut the door fast.
Daffy, Porky and Sora stared at the house confused for a second and then to the box. Sora opened the lid and all three of them took a whiff. They quickly plugged their noses with their fingers.
Daffy looked to you, the readers, and talked with a very low, baritone voice, "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Ugh! What is that smell!" Sora asked grossed out by what he just sniffed.
"M-m-most likely the stench of the Heartless," Porky assumed.
Sora closed the box so they wouldn't have to smell that anymore. Moments after, in the same woods, they found a large log that had a red door on the end. The door had two little windows on it and a gold doorknob. On the branch was a lantern for light in the night and there was a stovetop on the log most likely for cooking or the fireplace. There was also a mailbox with the name "Minerva" on it.
A woman's voice could be heard inside singing, "It's not pretty being me/just try it and you'll see/it's harder than you think/to be a gorgeous mink/"After walking down the path, Sora's group stopped at the door, which Daffy knocked. Whoever was singing stopped
And opened the door, "Who is it?"
Daffy greeted, "Excuse me, ma'am, have you…" he stopped when he saw who he was talking to and suddenly got love stricken in a daze, "…been on a date lately?"
The resident of the home was a tall Mink. She had white fur from her head to her toe, a bushy tail that was as blond as her hair, turquoise eye shadow and long eyelashes, and pink skin inside her ears…not to mention a knock out figure covered in a red dress. This was Minerva.
Daffy leaped in the air with hearts forming in his eyes, making the familiar "Aooga!" sound. He did his hopping around routine, "Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo! Woo, woo hoo hoo!" leaving imprints of hearts on the grass.
Porky and Sora stared at their friend baffled. Porky decided to take it form here, "W-w-what my friend was trying to ask was…" As soon as he laid eyes on Minerva, his head took the shape of a wolf's! "Howooooooooooooooooold is she?" and panted dog like with a long tongue. Then he ran around in circles barking.
Sora frustratingly grabbed both his friends and pulled them away from the foxy Mink. Once they were a good distance away, Sora sternly spoke to the Looney ones, "If you guys can snap out of it, we got a mission to do, remember?" Daffy and Porky shook their heads to snap out of their romantic foolishness as Sora continued, "She's just a mink! A rather attractive one, but a mink nonetheless."
"Okay, Buster," Daffy replied in a daring tone of voice, "Let's see you talk to her."
Certainly, Sora would have no problem doing so, but then a thought had come to his head in the form of a thought bubble (due to the world's physics, of course). He imagined himself trying to talk to Minerva, but that he would go into similar spasms similar to what Porky and Daffy had done, such as throwing the Keyblade at a tree and it carving the tree into a heart shape! Or even doing a "whoo!" strut similar to Ric Flair, the famous wrestler. The thought bubble popped.
Sora covered up his uneasiness by making a suggestion, "Maybe we should think of something else," in his mind he thought, "Something that doesn't involve me making a fool out of myself."
Meanwhile, Minerva was powdering herself while looking into a compact and sounding a bit snobbish about the behavior she witnessed from the pig and duck, "Can't a girl take two steps without a boy gawking with no control? It was also rude of them to leave like that," she overheard a whistling sound and turned around. To her surprise, a male Mink with 1950's style hair and a leather jacket was standing behind her. As irony had it, she began to uncontrollably gawk herself, "Humana, Humana, Humana!" was all she could say before her body melted like liquid until she was reduced to a puddle. Unbeknownst to Minerva, the male mink was nothing more than a cardboard cutout placed there to discract her, for while she was in her moment, Sora, Daffy and Porky took a peak in her house.
Sora pointed to a desk with a mirror and some make up on it, but that's not all that was on there, "Over there! Another clue,"
Daffy handed Porky a decoy box that looked exactly the same as the boxes they already collected and went over the plan, "Remember what I told you. Grab the box, leave this in its place and get out of here. We'll whistle if we see the mink come back."
Porky gave Daffy the thumbs up and went inside while Sora and Daffy waited patiently for him to come back. Sora leaned back on the log with his head resting on his hands. Daffy casually looked at his hand, in sort of that bored like motion. The look on his face grew impatient as he looked back at the house, tapping his foot. He didn't think it would take this long.
Porky finally came out with the clue, "Sorry. Had to use the b-b-b-w-washroom. Oh, that reminds me!" he handed the clue to Sora before going back inside. A toilet flush was heard causing Daffy to roll his eyes.
Sora opened the box to take a peak. He saw a squiggle kind of line inside, "This looks like the antenna we saw on the Shadows. Now for that last clue."
Time passed as they looked for the last clue, which was in the park where people were walking. A narrative voice, sounding similar to Ray Liotta, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted be a watch bird. Obviously, it's the watchmen of birds. Only the most trusted of the feathered clan were considered worthy of such responsibility to survey the city and keep an eye on the most important of items. Bobby, Pesto and I were given a job to prove our worth. What an honor."
A male pigeon was who gave the narration. He had gray feathers on his head and neck, plus three gray tail feathers and a gray stripe on his white wing feathers. He had light gray feathers on the rest of his body, plus tan feathers on his stomach, and he had two claws on each foot except for the usual three. His name was Squit. The pigeon next to him had his eyes closed, turquoise feathers on his head down to his neck and as well as his three tail feathers, plus a gray body of feathers. Like Squit, he had tan feathers on his stomach, a gray stripe on white finger feathers, and two-clawed feat. His name was Bobby. The third pigeon in the group had a different color for each of his eyes. You know, a case of heterochromia. His body had sky blue feathers, purple feathers from his head to his neck and three purple tail feathers. Like the others, he had a gray stripe on each white feather finger, tan feathers for his stomach, and two clawed feet. His name was Pesto.
The birds were watching over and squawked at the people walking by, though no one paid attention really.
"Hey!" shouted Pesto, in his Joe Pesci tone of voice, "Keep your eyes off the goods! Yeah, you better walk!"
Bobby did the same, in a Robert DeNiro kind of tone, "You heard the bird. Forget about it. You ain't getting nothing."
As that went on, a bush was seemingly walking on it's own! Familiar feet of webbed toes, pigs' feet and yellow shoes could be seen under the bush along with familiar voices talking.
"You can't be serious, guys," Sora's voice whispered inside, "People would notice if a large bush was out of place while being somewhere it wasn't before."
Porky's voice then whispered, "It was either this or w-w-we dress Daffy up in a p-p-pigeon costume to distract those birds."
Daffy's voice whispered in refusal, "And there's no way I'm dressing like a hot date for some birdbrains!"
They stopped when they got close enough and Porky's hand reached out to grab the pink box and their final piece of evidence. Just as he touched it, he could feel three beaks peck against his skin, "Ouch!" and he leaped out of the push during the yelp. When he landed, he examined his hand, to see his fingers all red and swelling up and down. He looked to you, the readers, "Ferocious, isn't it, f-f-folks?" Sora and Daffy came out thereafter, knowing the jig was up.
Bobby was the first to confront, "You peaking at our box?"
"Who, us?" Porky asked.
"I don't see anyone else," Bobby replied looking over his shoulders, "You peaking at our box?"
Sora bent down to the pigeons level and told them the situation, "We kind of need that box. It's important we get what's inside it."
Pesto stuck his thumb out and pointed away, "Get lost! We ain't giving this box for no one."
Daffy got right in Pesto's face, "Tough guy, eh?" he rolled up his sleeve, "I guess we have to be tough back."
Squit put his hands between the two and pushed them back, while Bobby tried to stop it before it began, "Hey, cool it! Both of you."
Daffy rolled down his sleeve while Squit explained, "Guys, it's not our call. It's the boss who…"
He stopped and the Goodfeathers all gasped as said boss waddled in on the scene. He was morbidly obese, with a strip of white hair over his gray-feathered head. His tail and wing feathers were also gray, while his body had white feathers and his eyes were closed. Like the other pigeons, he had tan feathers on his stomach and two clawed feet, which he stuck out one for the three Goodfeathers to kiss simultaneously. He spoke in Sicilian mumble that no one could understand.
Except for Bobby, who translated to Sora's group, "The Godpigeon wants you to state your business."
Sora bent down to he Godpigeon's level, "Please, sir. We need whatever is in that pink box. It's urgent."
The Godpigeon observed Sora and his friends for a second and talked back to three Goodfeathers, which Bobby had to translate again to our heroes, "The Godpigeon says you can have it IF you can entertain him."
"Is that all? I'll give him something to tell his grandkids about!" Daffy offered, though a bit arrogantly, "Music maestro!" and from parts unknown he was tossed a hat and cane. The hat he put on his head, and then he began doing a soft shoe dance to the song 'tea for two'.
Sora crossed his arms, again in disbelief at what he was watching. He thought to himself, "Who gave him that hat and cane? For that matter, where did the music come from?"
Daffy finished the dance with a pose. All for nothing it seemed, for the Godpigeon didn't even crack a smile. Daffy frowned while beginning to walk away, "No sense of taste," but didn't see where he was going and his bill hit a lamppost.
Sora gasped, "Daffy, are you okay?"
Daffy pushed himself away, though his bill was tilted up, making him look like he did in his short film Robin Hood Daffy. Sora began to laugh, as did Porky. The Goodfeathers all laughed hysterically. Daffy looked at them unsure what they were laughing. When he realized his beak was out of place, he put both hands on it and pushed pressed it back so that it pointed forward.
The Godpigeon also laughed at the predicament, said one last thing to Bobby and waddled away. Bobby translated once more, "The Godpigeon says you boys can have the box and it's contents."
Sora smiled as he grabbed the box, "Alright!" the trio then left, Daffy muttering in irritation to himself.
Squit felt happy over this, "I guess it pays not to be so selfish, eh, guys?"
Pesto misheard that, "What did you just say?"
Squit reiterated, "I said I was glad we weren't selfish."
"Selfish?" Pesto got in Squit's face, taking what he said the wrong way, "Do I look like a crustacean? Am I some clawed invertebrate that digs in the sand here to amuse you?"
Squit worryingly shook his head, "No, no! I'm not saying that!"
Pesto turned away as if he cooled down…only to lose his temper and jump at Squit, "That's it!" The two got into a puff cloud with noises of fighting heard from it. Bobby laughed as he usually did when this happened, which was very often.
Sora, Daffy, and Porky made their way back to the court room when they heard a familiar voice, "You decided to find all the pieces. Good job."
They turned to see Rita and Runt. Sora responded, "This is sure to be enough to save Dot."
"Dot should be safe. She's definitely safe," Runt said in his goofy way.
Rita however, disagreed, "I wouldn't be a hundred percent on that, kid. Maybe Dot's innocent, but what would you think about yourself?"
Sora didn't enjoy the sound of that, "What are you saying?"
"You'll find out soon," Rita then took out a piece of paper that was rolled up, "Here's the big prize I promised earlier," she tossed to Daffy.
Daffy caught the paper, "Thanks," Rita and Runt took their leave while Daffy unrolled the paper. His eyes widened at what was strung on it, "Arrows!" he felt the tip of the arrowhead. It was cold, "Blizzard arrows!" he snapped off an arrowhead and handed it to Sora.
"Ice power, huh?" Sora asked as he looked at it, Daffy nodded to Sora, putting the arrows into his inventory for future use. Sora put his spare arrowhead in the same slot of his Keyblade that he put the fire arrow in. Now he had the power of ice magic.
Back in the courtroom, the intermission was now over with the court case ready to continue. Ralph the guard spoke to Mr. Plotz, "Duh, Sora, Daffy and Porky has just come back, sir."
Mr. Plotz looked at his watch, "Hm, and with a few seconds to spare," he grabbed his gavel and hammered the sound block, "The case will continue."
Dot, who had fallen asleep in the cage, woke up at the sound block noise, "Keep it down, will ya? I need my cutie sleep."
Sora, Daffy and Porky entered the room with all the boxes they found and approached Ralph, "You's three ready to give evidence to Mr. Plotz?"
"Yes, sir," Sora answered.
Ralph pointed to the podium, "Counsel, uhhh…stand up!"
With Sora on the podium and Daffy and Porky now amongst the jury, Plotz addressed the Keyblade carrier, "I gave you enough time. Let's see what you found," Sora presented the four boxes he and his friends recovered. WB security took them and placed them in front of Mr. Plotz on a table for him to observe, "Well, well, you did find a lot. I'll give you that. However, I have my own evidence," he snapped his finger and the guards put another pink box on the table, which added the count to five.
Yakko popped up from the table, grabbed all the boxes and moved them quickly like a Three Card Monty dealer, "Round and round and round it goes. Where it stops nobody knows!"
Plotz slammed his gravel against his desk angrily, "Enough of this horseplay!"
Yakko looked at a random horse that was next to him, "Sorry, Mr. Horse," The horse left with it's head down.
Plotz was more than frustrated at yet another Warner trick, "How are we to tell which evidence is which now?" a light bulb literally lit up above his head, then he pointed at Sora, "You! Pick one of the boxes and have it opened. It will determine the party's guilt or innocence."
"What?" Sora exclaimed in shock, "It wasn't exactly easy to collect them all."
Plotz shouted, "No objections! Question my authority again and you'll be the first executed! Choose one box and only one!"
Sora looked to his friends. They were just as shocked as he was. Porky sighed, "B-b-better just choose a box."
"And you better pick the right one!" Daffy yelled in alarm.
Sora replied sarcastically, "I don't know your faith in the system, but some faith you have in me," In all honesty, Sora hoped he picked the right one, too. He observed all five boxes. It was not easy since all five of them looked alike, "I'll use that one," he pointed all the way to the left, "The one on the end."
Plotz smiled in confidence, "No second chances."
Sora was certainly concerned. If he picked the wrong one, he and his friends could be in a lot of trouble. Not to mention Dot would remain guilty. He gritted his teeth, but made it his final decision, "I want to use that one."
Plotz ordered, "Then open it so we can see who's responsible."
Sora carefully took the lid off the box he chose. Out of it grew an image of a Soldier Heartless that soon disappeared. This left Plotz speechless on what to say, "What in the name of Humphrey Bogart was that?"
Sora pointed to the box with a smile of triumph, "THAT was your evidence," he turned to the jury, "People of the jury, that creature you just saw was the real culprit. I vote that Dot be found innocent."
Plotz couldn't believe this. He stood there and let himself look foolish in front of people. He grew so angry that his face turned red, took a coffee mug in his hand and crushed it.
Yakko commented to Wakko, "There goes the deposit we put on that cup."
Plotz slammed himself on the desk while going on a tirade, "I'm the CEO of the studio! Says in article catch 22: Anyone who won't respect the authority of the boss is a guilty party by default!"
Daffy and Porky jumped out of the jury and took a stand against such abuse of power. Daffy especially, "Plotz, you've lost your mind!"
Ignoring Daffy, Plotz gave his orders to the guards; "Apprehend them at once!" Trap doors opened underneath the floor and got rid of the benches for the audience and the jury, along with the people with them!
A tower then came out of the floor, which Ralph pulled on a lever to raise Dot's cage upward as well as put a red curtain over the cage. Dot was heard from behind the curtain, "Who turned out the lights? Turn on the light!"
Plotz signaled to several WB security guards with nets in their hands and executioners armed with axes, who all surrounded Sora, Daffy and Porky. The trio got in fighting stances with their weapons drawn.
"Guards!" shouted Plotz, "Don't let them near the tower, or your contracts will be terminated!"
Sora gave a wicked grin overhearing that, "Big mistake, Plotz!"
The group split up so they could divide and conquer. Daffy did his hopping routine to avoid getting caught in the nets. He jerked his head left as an axe swung by, then to the right as another axe came down, then ducked (no pun intended) away two more axes. The axes got caught in the wall when they hit. The executioners tried pulling them out, giving Daffy the chance to pull out an ice arrow in his bow, aim it and with a pluck, ice crystals formed out, hitting the executioners, who then shivered. Daffy stuck his bow in one executioners stomach making him keel over and then he stuck it in the other executioners gut and hit him in the back. A guard came from behind and caught him in a net! Daffy was caught off guard at first, but with his hand free, he grabbed the handle, ran backward and pushed the guard against the wall hard. He then spun with the handle out, hitting two guards.
Porky got into stick fights with the net guards. He blocked one shot at capture, spun his staff around the net handle, stuck his staff in the ground, tipped the end back and released it, which hit the guard right in the face with a hard smack. Two guards brought down their nets that Porky blocked with the staff, three times. On the fourth time, it got into a struggle. Porky swung his staff down to get the nets off, and then brought back up and hit one guard away, but the second guard moved away from the next shot. The guard brought down his net. Porky responded by placing his staff upward again, causing the net to get caught on the end of it, then placed it back up and hit the guard square on the forehead.
Sora had three with axes to contend with while they stood between him and the tower. One of them brought down his axe, that Sora clashed with the Keyblade. Sora swung his blade and clashed with another axe. The third one struck at Sora, who dodge rolled away, and the axe hit the ground leaving a mark on the floor. The same man swung his axe up, and clashed with the Keyblade being held vertical. The two others clashed back and forth with Sora, at one point Sora held his Keyblade sideways to block both axes at once. The third man charged at Sora, but Sora jumped over him slashed one of the men coming down, turned around when he landed to slash the other, and gave a horizontal slash at the last one.
The guards have all been laid out. Now Sora turned to the tower and slashed at one of the cranks about ten times until it broke. Plotz put his hands on his cheeks with a look that asked why this was happening. He took out a small gong and hit it with his gavel. This snapped the guards and executioners out of their slump.
Plotz spat, "I'm not paying you to lay around. Get them!"
The guards saw Sora, Daffy and Porky hacking away at the other cranks of the tower. They grabbed their axes and nets and stalked toward them. The trio saw this and grew concerned. They each got into a duel with a group of guards, luring them away from the tower. They all got caught in a struggle with the guards and executioners trying to push them away, but kept getting pushed back. Daffy jumped away and slid on the floor with an arrow set up. He let go with a fireball hitting one of the cranks. He had to roll away with axes coming down at him, but managed to get up
Seeing attacking the tower from a distance as a good strategy, he called to the Key wielder, "Sora!"
Sora caught on right away, and pointed his Keyblade. The men thought he was pointing at him when he was really aiming at the tower; "Fire!" a fireball hit the other crank. An executioner swung his axe, but Sora bent his legs down to avoid and fired another spell at the crank. Sora found a guard to his left and a guard to his right about to catch him, but he dodge rolled away. All the guards caught in the nets were each other rather comically. Sora fired at the crank a couple times after.
Daffy jumped away from a net, aimed an arrow while in the air and shot the fireball right at the crank, "Hoo, hoo!" he hopped away in his usual loony way from an executioner chasing him. When he got to the other side, he thrust himself away from an axe swing, slid on his stomach, and shot another fire arrow, hitting the other crank.
"Help!" Porky yelped.
Sora and Daffy saw their friend in trouble, surrounded by guards. Daffy stuck his fingers in his bill and whistled. The guards turned around, allowing Porky knock them down with the staff. An executioner came in toward the pig. Porky maneuvered away from the axe and brought up his staff to block, but when the axe hit, it got stuck in the staff! Porky and the executioner kept pulling back to get their weapons loose. At one point, Porky slipped under the legs of his opponent. The executioner managed to pull out his axe and Porky stood back up and hit the end of his staff in his opponents back. What he didn't see was another axe man was right behind him, and he stuck his tip under Porky's shirt, lifted him up and stuck the axe against the wall, leaving him to hang.
Daffy and Sora were about to run in to help their comrade, but were stopped by the other guards. More executioners slashed at them, but while Sora blocked them with his blade, Daffy kept getting hit with his feathers being cut off at each turn, "My feathers!" Daffy alarmingly shrieked watching his feathers float to the ground. Then a guard caught him in a net and hit the duck against the wall hard. Daffy slid down the wall in pain, caught like an animal (which he was).
All Sora could do now is contend with the rest alone. He pointed his Keyblade out and performed his new spell, "Deep Freeze!" he chanted.
Ice crystals shot out, hitting the guards, once again causing them to shiver. Sora turned away and hoped he could get back to hitting the tower, however, more executioners and guards were right there. Sora clashed with two axes, got caught in a net, but ripped out of it with the Keyblade. Another axe was about to be swung, and Sora tried blocking it, but the axe hit the black of his left hand instead causing him to scream and clutch it. He looked at his hand and saw his glove ripped up and a red scratch. Unfortunately, he dropped his Keyblade, but didn't realize until he saw another axe being swung, and he was about to clash again noticing he was defenseless. His arm then got slashed, leaving another red scratch. He even got slashed at his face, with a cut right across his cheek. He stumbled to the wall, and his opponents stuck the needle part of the axes through his clothes (above his shoulders) and pinned him against the wall.
Plotz smiled feeling it was finished, "Good work, security. Now for their sentencing,"
Daffy heard that and held his neck in worry, but then stood up, "Oh yeah! That's what you think!" He tried to run, but the guard holding the net he was under kept holding him back. Daffy stuck a fire arrow in his bow, shot it, and the net burned to smithereens. Plotz's jaw dropped right down on his desk at this sight.
It was only the beginning. Sora stuck his hand out to where his blade was. The Keyblade disappeared and reappeared in his hands like it had before. He hammered the axes until he was loose. Porky put his staff vertical, stood it on the floor and pushed up while loosening his shirt off the axe tip. He slid down the staff and now our Trio was free! Daffy and Sora then shot fire at the two cranks, burning them down. Plotz was ripping his wig off in so much frustration.
Plotz decided to get involved physically, throwing his gavel at the heroes. They all dodged so it would miss, and, to add insult to injury, Sora threw the Keyblade straight at Pltoz, hitting him on the noggin. Plotz's eyes went googly, seeing little Yakko's, Wakko's, and Dot's running around his head until he fell backwards out of his chair. The guards and executioners quickly ran over to check on him. With the opposition distracted, Sora (who picked the Keyblade back up), Daffy and Porky hacked away at the tower. A part of the roof busted off and bits of munny fell out of it, prompting Daffy to take his eyes off his task.
"It's mine!" Daffy declared, "Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!"
"What's gotten into him?" Sora asked Porky before hacking away again at the tower.
Porky answered, "Th-th-the power of riches I suppose."
Another chunk of the roof was broken off, with more money dropping and Daffy scooping it up, further proving Porky's point. Sora gave one last hit to the tower. Now destroyed, the harness carried the cage holding Dot back down.
Plotz recovered from his state, shaking his head vigorously. He was even unhappier at Sora for hitting him, even though he himself threw the gravel first, "Why you…" before he could finish, he heard the sound of a curtain falling. It was the curtain falling off the cage Dot was in. Plotz looked and saw that the cage was empty, "The cage is empty!"
"Gone?" popped Yakko and Wakko from behind Plotz, scaring him out of his seat. They searched the cage all around, but no sign of their sister.
"You think she escaped?" Wakko hoped.
"On a cage with no padlock? How does that make sense?" Yakko responded, "If anything made sense, that explains our paychecks," Wakko got behind drums and did a rim shot, ala stand up comedy.
Sora, Daffy and Porky walked over to the cage, just as confused over Dot's disappearance. All Daffy could measure up was, "No sign of breaking out, no marks on the bars if she slipped out. There's only one other possibility. While we were fighting she was…" Daffy looked at you, the viewers, and the 'web cam' did a close up, "Kidnapped!" he spat a bit, and then took out a towel to wipe the saliva off the screen.
Plotz was simply furious, "You call yourselves security?" he yelled at the guards.
"Duh, it was in our job description," answered the oblivious Ralph.
"Just go and find who's responsible for this!" Plotz demanded, "I don't care how!"
Yakko appeared in front of the guards, "In that case, they'll do it our way. We'll find our sister if it takes us a lifetime, or takes us an eternity, or if it's a never-ending story!" he chanted melodramatic. He then calmly asked Wakko, "Seriously, how many sequels did that movie have?" Wakko just shrugged.
The guards all separated, and the Warner's left as well to search for their sister. Sora's group decided they should do the same thing, all sighing in distraught that they have to solve another mystery. Sora drank a potion to heal his scratches. Then he muttered, "Here we go again."
The trio all walked out with their hands in their pockets beginning their search for the missing Warner Sister. On the way, a ball bounced down their path, with a familiar face running out their way, "Ball! Ball! Get the ball!" it was Runt fetching the ball and he grabbed it with his paws.
Panting her way to the mutt, was Rita, "Boy…talk about having a ball," she looked over her shoulder to see Sora, Daffy and Porky walking her way, "Well, hi again, boys. What can we do for you?"
"Not so fast, my fine, furry feline," Daffy talked suspicious, "Dot has gone missing and we should be asking you if either of ya have seen her."
Runt gave a goofy look, trying to think of an answer. He replied simply, "Nope, but we did see shadows. Definitely, definitely shadows!"
This caught the group's attention. Porky asked, "W-w-which did they go?"
No sooner did he ask, a music cue hit and Rita began to sing, "Does it really matter/if it's this way or that/the shadows have it mixed up, down, left, right and all the way back/go forward in the city where a building looms/you'll find shadows all over in an upside down room/"
Sora was beginning to enjoy her singing the more Rita did it, "What a gifted cat, but gifted as it is, we got a job to do. Let's go find that room, guys."
Daffy and Porky nodded, walking off with Sora, but not before the ball rolled over to Porky's leg and he picked up, "You want your b-b-ball back?" Runt panted and wagged his tail happily and excited, "G-g-go get it!"
Porky threw the ball far. Runt proceeded to give chase, "Ball! Oh boy!"
Rita grabbed Runt's tail and her armed stretched as she spoke to you, the readers, "Any of you have a dog like this?" before she got pulled away.
Back with Sora and crew, they walked awhile down the streets trying to find the building with this "upside-down" room. On their way they found something good and something bad. The good thing was some lost Smurfs. Sora pointed them out, since his friends had not seen them yet. Daffy picked up the Smurfs that they found and put them on a little scanner device that beamed them back to their rocket. The bad thing was, you guessed it, more Heartless.
Sora and Daffy weren't worried, though. Their new spell gave them a trick up their sleeve, especially against the red nocturnes. Sora yelled, "Take that!" the ice crystals took out the Shadows and Soldiers instantly.
Daffy did the same with an ice arrow to the red nocturnes, quick and easy. However, there was one Heartless left and it was a big one!
"W-w-what is that?" Porky pointed out.
His friends saw what he was pointed at. It was a Heartless with a large round girth waddling towards them. Sora answered, "Large body."
Daffy looked at Sora in a double take, "How did you know that?"
Sora took out a blue print just like the one Porky had earlier that taught him how to dodge roll, "I'm using my new scan ability, and this big guy will take a lot of hits before he ends up like the other Heartless."
As they were talking, they didn't realize that the Large Body had jumped up next to them. When it came back down, the impact caused a shockwave, knocking the trio back until they hit the ground. They groaned as they cautiously got up, all glaring at the Heartless. After regrouping, they all charged at it, prepared to strike. Only when they struck, their weapons all bounced off the Large Body's stomach. This left them in a bind of how they were going to slay it now.
The Large Body leaned back, and leaped forward at the group. Daffy jumped away and Sora dodge rolled, but Porky couldn't run fast enough and got caught in the body slam. The Large Body got back up, revealing Porky on his back in the ground. Porky got up leaving an imprint of his body in the cracked street. He used his staff as a stand to stay on his feet since he could barley stand after that one.
"Porky!" Sora handed Porky a potion to drink.
"Th-th-thanks," Porky said grateful. He drank it and was ready again to continue.
Daffy readied a fire arrow and shot it at the Large Body. A last resort to try and inflict any harm to the creature. It hit, and the Large Body stumbled back. Sora's eyes widened seeing that. Using his scan ability, he noticed some if its energy was now gone.
"Daffy, keep using your arrows!" Sora signaled.
Daffy nodded and reloaded his bow. Sora unleashed a couple fire spells at the Large Body. Unfortunately, his Keyblade then left nothing but a bit of steam while he tried again, "Out of magic again?"
The Large Body swung its fists at Porky, who blocked each swing with his staff. On the second block, he spun to it's back and hit it in the back.
Sora's scan saw more energy being depleted, "That's it! We gotta attack it from behind!" he then ran up to the Large Body and slashed its back three times.
Porky charged at the Large Body's back and hit it with his staff while Daffy hit it with his bow. The Large Body then began to glow with an aura, stomping its feet in what one could assume was anger. It faced the group and charged with its gut straight out, hitting the group straight on. Little did it realize, Daffy had an arrow ready as he was soaring, shot it and it hit the Large Body, making it vanish from existence.
Daffy didn't see where he was headed and hit the side of a building, slid down the wall and fell on his stomach. Sora and Porky managed to get back up off the pavement and helped up the little black duck. Daffy was in a daze and began to sing off key, "It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell/"
Sora shook Daffy in hopes that he would come to, "Daffy, snap out of it!"
Daffy grabbed Sora's hands now out of his daze, and put them back at Sora's side, "Enough with the maraca bit."
"L-l-look," Porky pointed at a door that had a sign on it.
Sora read the writing, "To the upside down room," he looked back at his friends, "That must be it," He opened the door and they all went in.
The room was appropriately named. Sora, Daffy and Porky now found themselves on the ceiling of Acme Labs!
"What kind of crazy room is this?" Sora asked baffled, "We're up, but we won't fall down."
"This is enough to have Sir Isaac Newton roll around in his grave," Daffy commented shaking his head.
Porky tapped on his friends' shoulders, "There's r-r-Rita again."
Sure enough, he was right. The cat and Runt were near a lamp. Rita spoke, "You found me, but the shadows are still hiding."
"Oh boy!" Runt clapped, "Hide and seek! I love that game."
The misunderstanding made Sora and his friends quirk their eyebrows. Rita paid no mind to it and instructed the boys, "If you want to find the shadows, you'll have shine some light on the situation."
Sora spotted something, "Not for them!"
Heartless had appeared in the room, drawing the group into another battle. Red Nocturnes charged up their power and shot two fireballs at the group. Sora reflected one fireball and Daffy dodged the other, fired and ice arrow, and the nocturnes dissipated. A Soldier tried to scratch Porky, but the pig hopped up on his staff to dodge, but another soldier did its midair cartwheel kick at the staff, knocking him down to the floor…uh ceiling. Daffy shot a fire arrow and burned one Soldier. Porky got up and when the other Soldier scratched again, Porky blocked it, hit the Soldier with one end of his staff and then slid on his feet, thrusting the other end of the staff into the Soldier, knocking it down and then stuck the staff in it, defeating it.
Sora was surrounded by Shadows, all of which went into the ground and scrambled. Sora waited patiently, and then when the time was right, he put the tip of his Keyblade on the surface, used the strength of his arms to swing his body around the blade, and slid right toward a Shadow with his weapon out, colliding it with the Shadow. One Shadow formed behind him, and one formed in front of him. Sora jumped up, put his foot on the head of the Shadow in front of him, jumped off, turned around in midair and struck his Keyblade from above at the Shadow behind him. He gave a good horizontal thrust, sending the Shadows all back to oblivion.
All that was left was the lone Large Body. Remembering the strategy from last time, the group was ready. The Large Body jumped up and hit the ground, causing a shockwave. Sora jumped over that, got behind the Large Body and gave three good thrusts to its back. Daffy ran up to also attack, but the Large Body swung its arms and backhanded Daffy making him stumble, then punched Sora, sending him back a few feet. Daffy regained himself and hit his bow against the back of the Large Body. Porky charged at the Heartless and gave a good hit to its back as well, but now the Large Body was glowing the familiar aura. It ran at the group, but Sora came in and hit its gut. The Large Body stumbled back and just stood there scratching his head, wondering what went wrong. The group too advantage and finished it off.
"Glad that's over. Now for that light," Sora jumped up on the lamp and twisted the light bulb in it until it lit. He had to cover his eyes because of the brightness.
Runt commented, "The room still looks a bit dark. You should definitely make it brighter."
Daffy wondered, "So now what?"
Rita instructed, "Just turn on one more lamp. Nothing to do it but to do it."
Sora hopped up another lamp and twisted the bulb in. That did the trick.
"There you go, kid," Rita acknowledged and began to walk away with Runt following, "Now that the lights are on, the Shadows should come out of their hiding place. That place is this room, but elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they went after that mouse cage. I know I would," she licked her lips at the thought of a mouse dinner.
Sora pondered at the statement about the mouse cage, "Unless the Heartless are after Pinky and the Brain, why would they go after that cage?"
Porky changed the subject, "F-f-first let's figure out how to get back on the floor."
"Over here! I found a shortcut," Daffy signaled. He lifted open the cover to the airshaft and the group went in.
Fortunately, they found themselves back right side up on the ground, now it was off to get back into the laboratory, in hopes that the Shadows Rita kept mentioning would be found.
That gave a thought that popped in Sora's head, "Wait a sec. Remember back in Traverse Town? There was a giant Heartless that was the main boss, right?"
Porky indeed remembered, "W-w-what are you saying, Sora?"
"Who do you think is behind Dot's kidnapping?" Sora indicated.
"The Heartless most likely. Then there must be another Heartless master," Daffy assumed.
Their answer was soon to be found out, as they entered Acme Labs, right side up this time, and spotted Rita and Runt on a desk.
"Come on up boys!" Rita called out, "It's a nice view from up here."
The trio did so, climbing up the drawers and the desk chair up to the desk where the cat and dog duo stood. Once there, Sora asked them, "Okay, so where are the Shadows?"
"Oh they'll be here soon," Rita then pointed up, "If you're not ready for trouble, you better be."
Out from the ceiling, something jumped down the floor; over the desk Sora's group was (leaving them staring in awe at what they were witnessing) and landed on its legs. It was a big replica of the famous Warner Bros. Studio water tower only this one was alive! Its front legs reappeared on its sides, with hands popping out. It drew out a large sword and removed the WB symbol off to use as a shield. Shocker of all shockers, in the WB logos place was a Heartless symbol!
Porky and Daffy couldn't believe their eyes, "That's the master?"
Sora drew out the Keyblade, "Never thought I'd have to fight against big corporation."
The battle had begun! Daffy shot a fire arrow at the tower, but it got blocked with the WB shield. The tower brought its sword down at the group, which made them jump in opposite directions and on other sides of the sword once it hit the desk. The tower brought the sword up and brought it down again. Sora clashed with it, sending the strongest force he's felt yet through his body. Sora slipped his blade out and clashed again. Porky knocked the sword away with his staff and collided it with the WB shield.
Daffy hooked the string of his bow on the shield, allowing himself to be lifted up. He climbed on the shield and leaped into he air. He shot an ice arrow out as he came down, and then a fire arrow. Both hit the tower square on the roof. The effect caused a splash of water to form and Daffy landed on the tower, slid down thanks the water, leaped off and landed back to Sora and Porky. Sora gave Daffy a high five for that cool stunt. It was too soon for celebration, for the tower stabbed its sword into the desk! Another near close call for the trio, too close if the looks on their faces weren't a giveaway.
The tower swung his its sword horizontal three times, forcing the group to jump over each swing. It then banged the handle of the sword on the desk, missing all but Daffy, who was pressed hard against the pavement (not in a cartoon-y way). This left Sora and Porky to work alone. Sora got his magic back from fighting earlier and held the tip of his Keyblade out.
"Burn!" Sora chanted.
The tower brought up its shield to block the fireball, but didn't count on Porky using his staff as a poll vault and headed straight toward its front end. He spun around like a helicopter while in the air, and hit the tower itself several times before floating gently down like a real helicopter would and feeling a bit dizzy. Porky was losing his balance and didn't realize he was right on the edge of the desk.
"Porky! Look out behind you!" Sora called.
Porky fell off, but caught the edge with his free hand. Now dangling, Porky looked down and knew since he was now much smaller, it was a long way down, so he quickly tried to pull himself up. The tower had other plans however, and banged its fist against the desk, causing it to shake and Porky to fall not to the floor, but in an open drawer that had been left open. Thank goodness for him, but now he realized Sora was left alone. He put his staff up and climbed up it to get back to higher ground.
Sora gulped. His friends were out of the equation for the time being and had to fight the big monster by himself. The tower and Sora got into a duel, clashing back and forth. Sora dodge rolled away from a slash and struck the towers hand. The tower shook its hand, trying to relieve the scratch, but dropped the sword in the process. Sora tried an ice spell, but once again got blocked by the WB shield. The tower bent down to grab its sword, giving Sora an opening. He ran to the end of the desk and jumped off, landing on the platform that surrounded the tower. Then he slashed at the Heartless symbol, and then leaped again giving a slash uppercut and a slash coming down as well. The tower had enough and keeled over, allowing Sora to jump back onto the desk.
Porky managed to get back on the desk and ran over to the still fallen Daffy.
"D-d-daffy!" he gave the duck a potion to drink.
Daffy was still awake enough that he slowly drank the healing liquid, though some of it spilled. He felt energized again and sprung to his feet, "Thanks a lot," he thanked his friend.
Noticing the keeled over tower, the two Looney Tunes joined with Sora and hacked away at the tower. Sora did slashing combos, Daffy fired his arrows and Porky hit with the quarterstaff. It only lasted a few seconds, for the Tower got up to its feet and was now getting angry. With its hands empty, it used one hand to take off the roof like it was a hat and reached in with the other hand, pulling out an anvil.
"That was…" Sora paused at a loss for words at what he was seeing, "…Unexpected."
The tower dropped the anvil above the group, who all moved away with the anvil making a loud clang when it hit the desk.
The tower took out another anvil and dropped it near Sora, who dodge rolled away. Porky ran away as he could, but stopped when an anvil fell in front of him. He ran the other way, but stopped again when another anvil dropped in front of him. Daffy saw a shadow overhead and yelped when a big anvil was falling. Sora pulled the duck away with the Keyblade and the anvil missed.
"Why do I always get the big ones?" Daffy groaned.
The tower put the roof back on its head. Sora held the Keyblade up so the notch was aiming for the tower and threw it right at the Heartless symbol. A direct hit made it keel over again. He picked up the blade and the trio ran to it, doing another hack and slash routine as much they could. The tower stood up again and picked up the sword and BW shield. It angrily hammered the shield on the desk, causing the group to leap away. Then it hammered the sword in the same fashion. It went back and forth with this, forcing the trio to constantly move. It put pushed its shield on Sora and pushed him against the wall. When the shield backed away, Sora feel on his knees, but put his hands out in front of him on the ground so he could get himself back up, but now slowly.
Sora, Daffy and Porky all were beginning to feel tired, but then Porky thought of a strategy. He swung his staff, but the shield blocked once again. Daffy and Sora wasn't quite sure what their swine friend was doing. Porky looked back at them and tilted his head toward the tower. Daffy and Sora didn't get it at first when they looked at the tower, but when they looked at their weapons; they looked back at each other with cocky smiles. Daffy loaded a fire arrow in his bow, Sora pointed his Keyblade out and they both shot a fire spell at the same time at the tower.
That double hit finally did it. The tower began to shake uncontrollably, dropping its weapons and its arms retracted back into front stands. A heart flew out and the Heartless symbol disappeared, putting the WB symbol back where it belonged. Sora and friends panted with their time to rest. They succeeded in ridding another world of Heartless. An accessory called the Irift's Horn dropped out.
"Hoo hoo! Goodies!" Daffy grinned, snatching their prize for the defeat of their enemy.
"Enough with that noise!" said a voice from behind. The group turned to see the Brain in his cage with a large pen in his hands writing on a paper, "How can a mouse concentrate on a written test that will get him his law degree?" he tried writing again, but nothing came out of the pens tip, "Pinky, more ink!"
"More ink, coming up, Brain!" Pinky laughed. Too bad he knocked into the inkbottle and tipped it over. Ink spilled all over the paper ruining the Brains hard work.
"No!" the Brain shouted in alarm, "I can't present my test like this!"
Pinky, unaware of the fact, clapped his hands with glee, "Oh, an ink blot test! Let me guess."
The Brains eye twitched as he stalked toward Pinky with his arms out, ready to do something very physical and painful. Good thing for Pinky, Sora got the Brain's attention.
"Hey, it was an accident. I know the paper looks bad now, but don't do anything you might regret," Sora pleaded to the mouse.
The Brain sighed in defeat. He couldn't bring himself to do it to Pinky this time, even if he was an annoyance. After all, he does consider him a friend. Perhaps his only friend in the world, "Maybe Harvard was too sophisticated for this mouse's taste. Come, Pinky," the Brain opened the cage door for he and Pinky to step out, "Let's find the liquid white to clean up the cage. Then we'll prepare for tomorrow night."
"Why?" Pinky asked, "What are we doing tomorrow night, Brain?"
The Brain looked back with that determined yet sinister looking eye, "The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
A chorus was heard as the mice left, "They're dinky/they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain/"
"Of course!" Daffy shouted. He was in an outfit similar to M. Bison, the boss from the Street Fighter games. He looked to you, the viewers and said, "My little tribute to the Nostalgia Critic," he removed the outfit back to his other clothes, "I didn't like working on Space Jam either."
All of a sudden, something amazing happened. The keyhole in the lock of the cage began to glow. Sora and his friends looked at it with astonishment. Sora's Keyblade began to shake in his hand, "Ah!" The key shaped sword pointed to the Keyhole and shot out a beam of light at it. When the beam hit, a noise was heard and the glow disappeared.
Daffy stood there with a blank stare at his friend, "What was that all about?"
"Not exactly sure," Sora wondered, "But did you hear that sound? It's like something locked and closed."
Out of the keyhole dropped a little piece of what looked like a part. Porky recognized it, "A piece of the r-r-rocket ship! Though this one is n-n-not like the others."
Daffy picked it up and put it in his pocket, "No worries brother. It's in my care now."
Rita and Runt peered over the desk at the group. Runt was amazed, "Wow! You guys were really heroic. Definitely heroic."
The group looked back at the strays. Rita then told them, "Like he said, good job on getting rid of those monsters. Too bad Dot wasn't here to see this. Last I saw of anything, she went out of this place and with the shadows into the dark. Better luck next time, fellas."
The duo walked away, leaving Sora to sulk, "Aw, man. This sucks! All of that and Dot's now gone."
Daffy put his hand on Sora's shoulder, "Guess that means there's nothing more for us here. Let's get us back to our regular size and get back to the ship. With the way the Heartless are, we're sure to find Dot in one of the other worlds."
Sora cheered up a bit, "Good point. Thanks, Daffy."
Porky looked to you, the viewers, "S-s-sorry to end this on a down note, folks. Here's something t-t-to end on a smile."
He brought down a black screen. An announcer said, "It's mime time," at a park in the middle of the city, a mime with white face paint, a red nose, a candy cane stripped shirt, red suspenders, black pants and big shoes walked in and rested his arm on an "invisible" desk as only a mime can. The announcer continued, "Today on Mime Time, playing an imaginary piano," the mime nodded and began moving his fingers like he was playing the song 'the entertainer'. Even piano music began to be heard, but on the last note, a real piano fell on the mime! The scene faded while the announcer said, "The end."
And that will also end the chapter. I apologize for taking so long, but I think my writing juice is back on the table. Hope you liked this chapter and it was worth the wait. I'll be back soon with another chapter on this and maybe a new chapter on another story or maybe even a new story, so you guys have plenty to look forward to. Until then, glad you enjoyed the trip through the world of the Animaniacs.
