~~"BEHIND YOU!!" His siblings shouted. He started to turn before something smacked him over the head, unconsciousness taking hold of him. The last thing he heard was his sibs screaming for him.
Wakko put his mallet back in his hammerspace and lifted his unconscious brother. Dot grabbed his legs and they hoisted him above their heads. Their legs did the usual cartoon blur and they zoomed down the stairs. They placed him on a couch, procured by Wakko's gag bag, and kept their flashlights on the stairs.
"Wake up Yakko and we will turn that person up there into our special friend," the young Warner sister stated, gaining a nod and smile from her brother. Dot pulled a bucket of ice water from her hammerspace and dumped it on Yakko.
He jumped up and flailed his arms, "Dot it is two in the morning let me sleep!" After his out burst, his eyes focused. He looked around and realized his surroundings, his ears perking a slight bit. "This isn't the water tower."
"No, it isn't. But do you want to help us make a special friend?" With the words out in the universe, a loud screech played from an upstairs room. All 3 sets of ears twitched in disapproval at the loud noise. Yakko adjusted his belt and walked to the stairs, looking up into the darkness.
Wakko inched closer and started pacing at the foot, keeping the flashlight at the top. Dot soon followed after, Yakko's eyes following every movement of theirs. He let out a sigh and joined them, leading the pacing with all their flashlights turned towards the stairs.
"Hup, 2, 3, 4! No one's getting through these doors! 5, 6, 7, 8! Gonna ask Cindy Crawford for a date!" He chanted, causing some rustling and creaking to answer him. A loud crash followed after, stopping them in their tracks.
"Didn't you already ask her? I thought she said no," Wakko muttered, completely ignoring the loud noises. Dot stifled a giggle, her hand over her mouth.
Yakko glared in their direction, "that won't stop me from asking her." A single flashlight rolled down the stairs, clunking after every step, and landed at their paws. He gently padded it with his left foot, gaining a shock before the light flickered off.
"Must be out of batteries. I think I have some," the middle Warner reached into his gag bag, throwing out "useless" items. Another couch, a bedside table, a calculator, kitchen knives, Elvis Presley, a teapot (which shattered on impact), Micheal Jackson, and finally a new package of batteries.
"What kind of batteries do you like, hmm?" Yakko asked the flashlight, unscrewing the top to have a pair of D batteries meet him. He dumped the contents on the floor and looked at his siblings.
Wakko tried opening the package but his gloved hands had trouble gripping the sides. A small growl escaped him as he reached into his hammerspace, pulling out a chainsaw. Dot stood back, watching her brother struggle with normal human things.
"Whoa! No chainsaw! Put it back! Now, watch and learn, Wakko," Yakko took the battery pack out of his brothers hands. He started to rip off the plastic, a thin layer of cardboard still stuck on it. Discarding the back panel, he dug a finger into the layer of cardboard allowing a hole.
"I wanted to open it!" Wakko whined, earning an eye roll from Dot. He bounced toward his older brother, reaching for the package. He bumped into Yakko, causing his fingers to fumble, which made him drop the package and flashlight. Dot aimed her light towards her brothers before the batteries shocked out.
"Wakko! Use your flashlight!" Dot yelled into the darkness. Wakko stumbled with the illuminating stick, trying to turn it on. After a few minutes of the fumbling, the light flickered on. He flicked it around the room, only being able to catch Dot. He turned around and Yakko was nowhere to be seen.
"Y-Yakko?! Where did you go? If this is a prank, it isn't funny!" Wakko called out, pulling Dot close to him. He glanced at the stairs, aiming the light towards it. With no trace of his brother, he pushed his sister forward slightly.
"Where is Yakko?" Dot whispered, their paws silent on the wooden floors. His tail quivered in between his legs. Wakko had never been used to being the brave one, the one who has to protect his younger sibling. Yakko had always taken charge in that aspect, keeping all three of them safe from aanything.
"He disappeared. I don't know where he went," his strangely Liverpudlian accent shook with fear, Dot clinging onto his sweater. They inched to the stairs and walked up, the boards creaking with every step. Dot leapt to the top, Wakko close behind. He handed the flashlight to her and pulled out his mallet.
They walked side by side, hearing their footsreps creak with every step. Each door they passed, as well as checked, was locked. Upon reaching the end of the hall they found no trace of any unlocked doors or their brother.
Screams. Loud banging emanated from the door at the end of the hall, the door they stood in front of. The voice was familiar but there was no way to reach him. The screeching grew louder until they couldn't take it anymore. Wakko swung his mallet into the door, watching it splinter in half.
Yakko was seen, cowering in the corner. Nothing else was present in the room, just Yakko and moonlight. They inched forward, flicking the light on their brother. A whimper escaped him.
"Yakko?" Dot's voice was quiet and fearful. He rolled over and faces them, his eyes were terror filled and droopy.
"Run," he rasped, scrambling to his feet. His pants were torn slightly and he held himself against his ribs. Wakko walked up to him, wrapping one of his arms around his brother and taking his brothers arm around his shoulders. Yakko was limping and leaned on his brother for support.
"Here, take the flashlight," Dot handed the light to Yakko, who took it in his shaking hands. Dot reached into her hammerspace and pulled out her own mallet. She lead the way, the rest of the Warners were following right behind.
The floorboards creaked underneath their paws, a small splintering sound coming from some of them. The creaking got louder, as well as the splintering noise, until the floor beneath their paws snapped and they fell through
