BlackLouie: Whoa! It's been years since I came into my fanfiction office. I wonder what I can do to continue this...
Plotz: Oh yes! Ralph! Make Salazar kill every character off before those pesky warners-!
Ralph: *Turns around to see me and then turns to Plotz.* Duuuh, Plotz! He's back!
BlackLouie: That's right, do you guys really want your asses kicked? This is my story, stop trying to end it so fast! Also, you don't know what's gonna happen next because this is not done!
Plotz: Oh no... We were trying to-!
BlackLouie: MARCH!
*Plotz and Ralph leave the room.*
Sorry that they tried to take over the fanfic again, I'm back and this time I'm going to try and update as soon as possible. It's 2023, so... I may have time to pick up on the slack for this story. After all, I did watch the episodes of Animaniacs again and re-watched the movie, hopefully my dialoge is better than last time with every character that is not an OC.
Enjoy the chapter! : D
In the deep forest...
Plotz and Ralph ended up following a whole bunch of footprints that seemed fresh. They both heard a bunch of dogs barking in the distance as Ralph made a run for it.
"Hey! Ralph you dope! Wait for me!" Plotz growled and tried to keep up, as they reached a small cave, Ralph took Plotz by the scarf of his green shirt and pulled him inside.
"Shhhh! Yous gonna make us get caughts by the dogs!" Ralph whispered as he made sure that his partner ducked down. As the dogs came closer, everything was quiet, the dogs were sniffing the air and the footprints that everyone left when Salazar took over.
Once Plotz heard them leave, he was the first one to peek out of the cave as Ralph clumsly pushed him out of it by mistake to get a look at the view as well.
"Ralph! You idiot! Do you wanna get us caught!?" Plotz looked at him sternly before taking the lead.
"Daaauuugh... Sorry, Plotz..." Ralph looked down at the ground before following the angry man, they both finally came up to a sign that read: Slump Town. They also saw a few of Salazar's guards asking about them.
"Uh oh! Not good, Ralph! Not good!" Plotz panicked.
"Duuuuuh... What's not goods?" Ralph wondered while looking at Plotz in a confusing way before the man spoke up again.
"We are wanted, it looks like they did find out that we ditched Salazar." Plotz's teeth chattered.
"Dooooh! I thinks we can talks it out!" Ralph cheered before Plotz grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to his level.
"No we can't! Salazar will have our heads!" Plotz argued as they planned to try another path that didn't have any guards or dogs in it.
"So, are wes going to find the warners?" Ralph asked as Plotz shook his head and reminded him.
"The warners are dead! Bobesca is dead and so is the king! What makes you think they survived from that awful bastard? Ralph, our only hope is finding Schwartz, she can help us! With her knowledge and help we can find others to rebel against this new king." Plotz answered Ralph's statement in full detail before turning upwards to see a group of men. They watched them from the bushes carefully.
"Mindol, do you have the lasso ready?" Griff asked the tall man who was on his horse. Mindol looked down at Griff and nodded as he answered.
"Oh, yes! My lasso is ready! Once we reach the girls, I will rope them over to us at full speed!" Mindol cheered as his horse ran ahead with Griff and his men following from behind.
Plotz and Ralph looked confused as the wondered about the girls he was talking about.
"Duuuuhhh, Plotz, what girls are the talking about?" Ralph wondered as he tried to get up and follow them as Plotz spoke up.
"I don't know but we better follow them, they could take us to Schwartz if that's the girl they are talking about. We might also have a lead on information that they can give us about the attack that happened at the castle." Plotz answered while carefully moving one foot forward incase Salazar's guards found them.
Once the coast was clear, both men ran behind Griff's team carefully and slowly in order to gather more information and the whereabouts of Ms Schwartz.
At the tower...
Yakko was almost finished with sitting up the plan to find their aunt Macy and Ms Schwartz while Wakko and Dot were asleep. Nakko and Rakko come in with tea that night.
"So, Yakko, are the plans finished?" Rakko wondered while looking over his shoulder.
"Yes, so far I think we should head north and get out of this town. If we stay here, we will never save our aunt or Ms Schwartz. She was such a great cook and a wonderful lady!" Yakko felt more determined than ever to get what was left of his family back.
"Nice! Tomorrow, I have planned for our ride to be here. Going on foot would take us too long." Rakko gave Yakko a smile as he went back down stairs with his brother. Yakko finally yawned and picked up Wakko as he placed the young warner on his bed and covered him up with blankets.
"Goodnight, Wakko, tomorrow we will find the rest of our family and take back Acme Falls from King Salazar. Even if it kills me." Yakko snickered a bit before heading to bed.
From the outside of the tower, Ralph and Plotz are searching around the area for a place to rest, they even found posters of themselves stating that they are wanted for stealing money as well as ditching the king.
"Oh great! Just great! I was right! They were posting things about us, Ralph! Do you know what this means!?" Plotz got into another panic.
"Duuuuuuuuuuh... It means... It means... It means that we are celebrating our own party?" Ralph guessed as Plotz pulled him down to his level again as they looked at each other in the eyes.
"No no no! It means that we are wanted, Salazar will have our heads, Ralph! Our own heads! Do you want to live!?" Plotz explained the situation again.
"Yes, I do wants to live!" Ralph nodded before they continued on.
"Well we better find a place to stop, following those brutes makes me want to take a nap." Plotz yawned before looking up at a large tower.
"Plotz, did yous find a place for us-?" Ralph cut himself off as he looked up at the large tower above a cliff.
"Ralph, this could be our hiding place for tonight!" Plotz jumped up in excitement as he didn't want to deal with Salazar anymore.
"What do yous means?" Ralph wondered.
"If we make this tower our own, we will be able to make as much money and make this town prosper!" Plotz was no longer feeling tired but more excited than ever as he ran up to the side of the cliff, looking for a way up.
"Duuuuh... Plotz! I founds a ladder!" Ralph pointed to it.
Plotz came over to the ladder and shoved Ralph aside.
"Move it! Rich guys first!" Plotz said in a hurry as he climbed up cliff, he looked down at Ralph who just stood there.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Get up here Ralph!" Plotz tapped his foot in the snow.
"Ooohs! Sorry Plotz!" Ralph hurried over to the ladder and climbed up, he tried not to look down as he felt so high up. Once he was on the cliff, he joined Plotz near the entrance of it.
As they both entered the tower together, they tip toed in, being careful as they kept watch for Salazar's guards. Ralph started to hear the sound of snoring coming from one of the rooms, he freaked out and screamed at Plotz.
"M-m-m-monsters!" Ralph hugged Plotz tightly as the short man could barely catch his breath.
"Ralph you buffoon! Stop making so much noise! If there was a monster, you would have seen it by now!" Plotz tried to keep the scared cop quiet.
"Sorry, Plotz, I duuuh... Don't feel comfortables in the darks..." Ralph shook like a lost puppy who had been abused.
"Oh quiet it down! I need to know if we are clear." Plotz whispered.
From the other room, Nakko yawned when he heard the sound of banging down the hall of the tower.
"Ralph you idiot!" Plotz noticed that the cop got his head stuck in a bucket when he tripped. He pulled it off on his own with a bit of help from Plotz.
Ralph sheepishly shrugged at Plotz with a small grin.
"Be quiet!" Plotz whispered as he heard the sound of footsteps getting closer to them.
"What's all the racket? Can't a guy get some sleep?" Nakko wiped his eyes with his arms and carefully walked down the dark hall near Dot's room.
Some of the light that beamed down from the night sky through the broken roof made the path a bit brighter. He noticed two figures from a short distance as they both came into the light fighting with each other.
"Who are you two and how did you get in here?" Nakko's voice caused Ralph and Plotz to slowly turn in the direction of the voice. Plotz began to fall on his knees and cry in a panic attack.
"Please! Please! Don't tell Salazar that we ditched the castle! I know we are wanted but please don't tell him! He'll have our heads! They have dogs on the search! Please hide me! Take Ralph, it was his idea!" Plotz begged the unknown figure while pointing towards Ralph who looked confused.
"Salazar? Guards? Dogs? In this area? I don't know what you're talking about, Salazar ain't here!" Nakko's voice seemed to calm Plotz down a bit as the men looked up at the black figure.
"Oh, well heh heh! If you're not sure who they are, they made us tax collectors of Acme Falls and we got tired of it, heh heh, you see-" Plotz was cut off by Nakko's voice again.
"Then why are you here? You sound like you work for Salazar." Nakko grumbled.
"We sort of do but we ditched him, right Ralph?" Plotz turned to look at the fat cop.
"Duuuuh, yes! Wes ran away from duh guards!" Ralph agreed with Plotz with a nod of his head.
"Hmmm... We don't have room to hide you two if that's what you were thinking, why don't you leave this tower and return to Salazar. Our mother was possibly killed because of your evil kind." Nakko growled before turning away when Plotz cried again.
"We can't go back! We ditched Salazar! His team of guards along with their dogs are on the loose! We are wanted everywhere! Please, you have to help us!" Plotz looked up at the figure while begging him.
Nakko let out a long sigh before turning back around, he reached out his hand towards Plotz who was still on the floor weeping.
"Stop crying, I will have to find a place for you in here." Nakko came into the light that beamed down on them that night.
"Y-Yakko? Is that you?" Plotz looked at Nakko with a surprised look.
"Yakko? No! I'm Nakko. I may look like Yakko but I'm one of Macy's children." Nakko replied swiftly while walking the two men down the hall.
"Oh... So Nakko, what do you in here then?" Plotz tried to lighten the mood.
"None of your business." Nakko grumbled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep. We just wanted to know." Plotz looked at Ralph for approval. Ralph was confused but gave Plotz a smile.
"Duuuuh, like he said." Ralph replied as Nakko face palmed and got out blankets for Plotz and his partner.
"You both will have to sleep near the fire place, there is no rooms available." Nakko turned and went back to bed for the night.
Plotz turned to Ralph as they both talked about what they planned to do once they were able to leave the tower. Nakko could barely hear them but he drowned out their laughter as he drifted into sleep.
The Next Morning...
Plotz woke up feeling the weight of his partner, Ralph. The cop fell asleep on top of him as Plotz shouted.
"Ralph you dope! Get off of me!" Plotz growled as Ralph slowly woke up and yawned before stretching and getting up from his spot.
"Duuuuhs? Plotz where are you?" Ralph looked around the room as he turned to see Plotz getting up slowly.
"I'm right here, you fell asleep on top of me!" Plotz growled at the tall fat cop.
"Doooh, sorry..." Ralph sheepishly grinned.
Suddenly, they started to hear voices.
"So sibs, what do you think of the ride that Rakko got for us?" Yakko was upstairs looking out the window of the tower.
"Faboo! It looks great! What kind of ride is it?" Wakko was now confused.
"It's a carriage, it's broken up but it will have to do." Dot answered his question as she let out a few hard coughs.
"Oh! I made some medicine for the trip!" Rakko commented as he zipped up his packed bag. Nakko was behind them.
"Oh, Nakko! Good morning!" Yakko came over to shake hands but Nakko pushed him away.
"What's with him?" Wakko looked at Dot but she only shrugged.
"Nakko is just being himself as usual." Dot walked over to the window and noticed a few guards outside near the broken carriage. Some horses were roped to it as they huffed and made noises every time the men walked around them.
"Hmmm... Whoever stopped here must have broken their ride." One of the guards grumbled.
"Well, it looks like we found nothing, again... What will Salazar say to us?" Another guard shook as the third guard grabbed the smaller guard and lifted him up.
"We won't give up until those two idiots are found! They stole money from Salazar and we will have their heads!" The guard dropped the other one into the snow.
As they all left the carriage where it was, the horses made loud noises again, getting the attention of Yakko, Wakko and Dot.
"Those guards must belong to Salazar! How did they know that we'd be here?" Dot asked while watching the guards leave.
"I don't think they know... They could be looking for someone else!" Wakko took out his gag bag and found some popcorn in it. Yakko rolled his eyes with a smile as he turned to Rakko.
"Rakko, is it time for us to leave?" Yakko asked as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Wakko, Rakko, Nakko and Dot turned around as they noticed two men.
"Oh, I hope I'm not-..." Plotz cut himself off as he noticed Yakko, Wakko and Dot. He ignored Rakko and Nakko as he slowly came over to them.
"Plotz, Duuuh... Oh..." Ralph also noticed the warners as he ran over to them.
"Is it really you three? Oh my! I must be dreaming! Salazar said that you kids were dead!" Plotz came over to Yakko and hugged him.
"Whoa! Easy Plotz! Easy! I thought you were with the king." Yakko looked at Plotz suspiciously.
"I was, but I ditched them! We ditched them!" Plotz looked back at Ralph again before turning back to Yakko and his siblings.
"So what brings you both down here?" Dot wondered, she grew suspicious of Plotz and Ralph's presence.
"Well, you forgot that we would always protect the village before Salazar took over the castle and killed your parents." Plotz admitted before looking at Ralph who explained why they came to Slump Town.
"I was dee uuuh, cop of the village but we were going to help yous guys out and get rid of the evil king and his mens!" Ralph explained their plan. Yakko paced around the room with his siblings copying him.
"So, you two came all the way out here to help us. Okay then, we are looking for some ladies we saw the other day, Nakko might have noticed his mother and I may have noticed Schwartz walking somewhere out of town." Yakko revealed their plan to Plotz and Ralph.
"You saw them?" Plotz was surprised.
"I said we may have, it was a bit dark that day so it was hard to tell." Yakko corrected him.
"Oh boys! Does this means we are coming with yous?" Ralph got excited.
"Sure, if there is room for you." Nakko chuckled before heading downstairs with his brother running behind him.
"Plotz, Ralph, just prepare yourselves." Yakko gave them a wink before heading downstairs with his own siblings.
"What is there to prepare, we didn't bring anything but the money we stole from taxing people." Plotz came up behind the warners as Yakko turned to face Plotz with a smile.
"Money, eh? You can buy yourselves weapons and other things for our trip." Yakko pointed to a few shops.
"Well... is 30,000 gold even enough?" Plotz counted the money as Ralph took out more money from his pockets.
"So that's where the money has been going!" Plotz gave Ralph an angry stare as Ralph turned away quickly and started whistling the Animaniacs main theme song.
"Plotz no need to be greedy, you and Ralph have the money to buy yourselves some things that we need." Yakko chuckled while pushing Ralph and Plotz towards the shops in town. They heard a few voices coming from the south.
"Ralph, easy now. We don't want to get caught." Plotz saw a few dogs and more guards.
"Quick Ralph! Into the shop!" Plotz pushed Ralph and himself into a store which sold guns and cannons. A woman was sitting at the counter, she looked badass with a mohawk running down the center of her head.
"Whaddya want?" She was polishing a gun with a soft rag, she gave Plotz a look while Ralph was eyeing one of the cannons.
"Hey, Plotz, look what I founds!" Ralph pointed at the cannons.
"Ugh... If it will get him to quiet down, how much for the cannons?" Plotz looked up at the lady.
"Hmmm... Those huge cannons over there? Those are 10,000 gold each." She looked down at Plotz while polishing the gun she held for 5 minutes now.
"Ah, I guess we will take three of them!" Plotz grinned as the woman came over to the cannons and took each of them off of the shelf. She was about to head outside with them as she turned to ask them a question.
"Where do ya boys want it?" She looked around and saw a broken carriage.
"We want them installed on the broken carriage, we are getting it fixed up." Plotz answered as the woman huffed and asked some of her co workers to carry the cannons to the carriage.
"You boys should pay me a tip for this." The woman grunted while moving the cannon she held to the left side of the carriage, Yakko and the other warners watched while eating popcorn.
"Wow, that is what he used the money for?" Rakko looked at the cannons.
"Yes, I guess they will have a lot of fun with those, I wish I had a cannon." Wakko pouted.
"Have you checked your gag bag?" Yakko poked at him.
"Yep! No cannons, but I do have a gun in it." Wakko reached into it and pulled out a huge gun.
"Whoa! Wakko, that is cool!" Dot cheered before letting out a few more coughs.
"Dot, I think you should take some medicine." Rakko poured some medicine into the cap of it and handed it to Dot.
"Aw... Gross..." Dot winced before taking a huge sip of it, she coughed and gagged.
"Sorry about the taste but you need to get better." Rakko's ears perked to the sound of men yelling.
"What in the world is happening?" Yakko looked up from reading a book that he somehow got a hold of and saw guards on the other end of town.
"Hey, Yakko, why are the guards chasing us again?" Wakko wondered.
"Sibs, let's go over to the carriage and hide, they must be looking for someone else." Yakko whispered.
"Nakko, are you finished with coating the wheels, it looks good enough." Rakko looked away from Dot for a moment.
"Rakko, Nakko! Hide!" Dot looked at both of her cousins. Nakko and Rakko exchanged glances before following Dot's orders. As they all hid in the carriage they noticed the cannons were installed on the sides of it with one cannon of the roof of it.
"Well, Plotz really made this a war carriage." Yakko joked and laughed. Wakko and Dot laughed along too as Rakko shushed them.
"Shhh! Guards remember! They can hear us as the snow carries our voices!" Rakko was worried.
"You worry too much, Rakko, they are no longer after us. They think we are dead." Yakko calmly relaxed himself on the wall of the carriage. Rakko looked at Nakko for some assistance with explaining their situation but Nakko agreed with Yakko.
"If Yakko thinks we'll be fine then we should take his word for it." Nakko replied as he heard more voices, it sounded like a male and a female's voice.
"This is good, definitely, definitely, good!" The voice cheered.
"Ugh, Runt... Where are we headed to?" The female voice asked him.
"Uuuuh... Rita, do you know where we are?" Runt asked his friend.
"Ugh, Runt... You got us lost again." Rita face palmed before turning around and seeing a broken carriage that was able to stand on all four wheels.
"Oooh! Do you see that Rita! A home!" Runt ran off with Rita holding onto his back tightly.
"Whoa! Slow down, we're gonna crash!" Rita pulled on Runt's ears and sent the cat flying into the carriage, she landed inside with a thud. Once she was able to clearly see, she could hear Runt calling out to her.
"Rita! Are you okay?" He barked.
"Yes, Runt! I'm-!" Rita looked up and saw the warners.
"Sorry for barging in like this, I thought this was a house for a minute." Rita quickly leaped out of the carriage and back into the snow with her huge dog friend.
"What was that all about?" Nakko was confused.
"I'm not sure." Dot was also confused.
"I wish we had a better out come." Rakko sighed as Yakko looked at his cousin with a bit of worry in his eyes.
"It will be fine, Rakko. Our parents may have left us but we are still together." Yakko gave Rakko a bit of pep talk.
"I guess you're right but still... We went from being almost royal leaders to just nobody within the week." Rakko replied.
"I know, but if we stick together and find the rest of our family, we can finally get Salazar." Yakko nodded and sounded determined as Plotz and Ralph were heard talking with the woman who gave them the cannons for 30,000 gold.
The horses looked back at Plotz and Ralph as the fat man took the upper deck of the carriage and held onto the ropes of the horses, he waited for Plotz to hop inside before getting the horses to take off. The guards were too busy talking to each other about Plotz and Ralph's whereabouts as Salazar finally came in on his black horse he stole from a poor man.
"So, any news about Plotz and Ralph? They stole my money and if they are still out there, you all will have your heads chopped off!" Salazar growled.
"Salazar sir! We didn't find them, our dogs have been sniffing out the area and we got close but there is no sign of them anywhere!" A blonde haired guard answered his question as he was slapped in the face.
"That's not the answer I wanted to hear from you Arthur! Where do you think they went then!" Salazar got in his face as another guard spoke up.
"We only see tracks that go to this town, there is nothing left." The other guard said as Salazar got in his face.
"So, Mario, you failed to find more evidence? Grrr... Back to Acme Falls with you and your puppies! I will have to get a bounty on them and do this myself!" Salazar growled at all of his men.
"Sorry sir..." A guard whimpered.
"And where is Yi'Lang?" Salazar asked Arthur.
"We haven't heard from him sir." Arthur answered.
"So Yi'Lang is gone..." Salazar leaped on his black horse and rode off.
"Those two will pay for stealing one of these days! And if they come back, their heads will be on a pike!" Salazar growled on his way back home at the castle.
Near The Deep Forest...
"Schwartz, do you know where we are now?" Macy asked her while she took a bit of out of bread they bought back in town.
"No, it seems like we lost the footprints back in town, I wonder if they are even alive." Ms Schwartz didn't want to believe Yakko and his sibings were gone. She then looked around and saw some men coming towards them as one of them had a horse.
"Ah! The girls that man must have been talking about!" Griff chuckled.
"Griff, don't you think this is dangerous!?" The smaller man said as Griff huffed at him.
"No, James, this is business!" Griff grunted as he signaled Mindol to use his lassos on the girls.
"Macy look out!" Ms Schwartz pushed her down as the rope missed both of them. The older lady fell on top of Macy.
"We gotta get out of here!" Macy grabbed Ms Schwartz and ran north, Mindol was close behind them.
"What's wrong ladies? Scared of being with us?" Mindol laughed as he tried to rope Macy but Ms Schwartz pushed her away again.
"Careful Ms Schwartz!" Macy cried as she got back up, only to be cornered by Griff, James, Lucky and Boosen.
"How about you come with us little lady and we will spare you?" Griff spoke.
"I will never come with you! I have children that I have lost! I rather be alone!" Macy growled.
"Alone? Who said anything about you being alone, you belong to us now!" Griff was about to grab her but he was knocked in the head with a whip as Macy turned around to see that Ms Schwartz stole the horse that Mindol was riding.
"What the hell!? Mindol! What happened to you!?" Griff asked in a panic.
"That older lady that we were also trying to catch, well... She's stronger than I thought!" Mindol coughed.
"Grrr! Those girls will pay for this!" Griff growled as Macy jumped on top of the black horse as she held onto Ms Schwartz.
"Sorry boys, but we will be borrowing this horse for a bit!" Macy waved to them.
"You girls haven't won yet! You'll soon be ours!" Griff roared in anger as he kicked Mindol in the butt.
"Get up! We have to get ourselves more horses to catch them!" Griff grumbled.
"Yes, sir." Mindol looked back at James and Boosen.
"We're coming." Boosen grumbled as Lucky was the last one who followed them. Griffed looked back as he saw the girls on the horse getting smaller and smaller.
"Man, they are smart. Griff, do you think we can take horses from the eastern village, most of them don't use the horses for anything anymore." Lucky asked.
"I don't see that being a problem. Once we are prepared, we will get those girls." Griff replied.
Towards The Edge Of The Deep Forest...
Macy and Ms Schwartz wandered around for a while, nearly getting lost.
"Do you think we can stop and rest now?" Macy asked Ms Schwartz.
"Of course dear, I will make a fire and cook us a meal." Ms Schwartz smiled as she started cooking.
"So where did you learn to fight?" Macy asked, wanting to know how she whipped Mindol.
"Oh, I have my ways. When Salazar attacked us, I used my skills to try and stop him but he was too much. Salazar is a strong man, he is also strong at heart but he's taken all of that and ruined everything." Ms Schwartz sighed.
"I know. I did fight him in a bar once. I was getting him back for what he has done. Just to know that my sister is gone, nothing will ever change that." Macy looked down at the ground.
"Macy, it will be alright, we still have each other, dear. I just wish the kids were okay." Ms Schwartz remembered how Yakko and his siblings used to make a mess in the castle. She even remembered Yakko when he was born and how the family would make history.
"I guess we should cheer up. We do have each other." Macy started to smile and hug her friend. Ms Schwartz returned the hug and they soon ate the meal that was cooked.
Before Macy could get up, she heard the sound of a carriage coming towards them along with voices and the sound of horses galloping through the forest.
"Macy, move!" Ms Schwartz pushed the older warner away as the carriage came into view, it was moving at full speed towards the camp site that both of the girls made. Inside of the carriage, Wakko cheered as Yakko looked out of the window of the carriage and saw Macy and Ms Schwartz.
"Whoa! Ralph! Slow them down! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yakko screamed.
Wakko and Dot covered their eyes as Rakko winced, thinking that they might hit both of the older ladies outside. Ralph forces the horses to come to a quick stop as they skidded to a halt, nearly missing the camp site and almost hitting Ms Schwartz.
"Why don't you riders watch where you're going? You could have-!" Ms Schwartz shouted only to notice someone with brown slacks getting out of the carriage. Plotz gasped when he noticed the older women and Ralph looked confused.
"Duuuuuuh, Plotz, whos is that?" Ralph pointed at Macy.
"That must be Yakko, Wakko and Dot's aunt! But why is she here? I thought Salazar said he killed her a while ago." Plotz wondered how she escaped so easily.
"I wish I knews but she's here." Ralph replied.
"Hey, what's going on?" Dot coughed as she saw Ms Schwartz and Macy. Rakko and Nakko peeked out of the windows and could not believe their eyes. Wakko was already hugging Ms Schwartz as Yakko came over to her.
"So, Ms Schwartz, it's been a while, how did you escape from Salazar? Wouldn't he be mad that you're no longer at the castle to cook for him?" Yakko asked her.
"He would be angry, but I rather he be mad. I won't cook for a crook." Ms Schwartz replied while patting Yakko on the head.
"No need to pat me Ms Schwartz." Yakko grinned while looking at Macy.
"Your aunt Macy has been worried about her children." Ms Schwartz looked at her until she heard more voices.
"Mother?" Rakko looked at Macy, tears filled his eyes and he couldn't stop crying.
"Mom..." Nakko whispered as Rakko pushed passed him and ran to his mother, he embraced her in a hug.
"Oh Rakko! I was worried about you boys!" Macy hugged her son.
"Mom! I'm so happy to know that you are alive! Why didn't you come and find us?" Rakko whimpered.
"I wanted to find you boys but when I was attacked, they ran upstairs, I thought your lives had been taken so I ran away from Salazar's men. I ran as far as I could." Macy cried as well.
"We missed you, mom." Nakko stood away from them as he spoke. Macy looked up from Rakko and stared at Nakko with a sad smile.
"Nakko, I missed you boys a lot. You both have done well to survive." Macy replied.
"We couldn't have done it without our cousins." Nakko pointed to Yakko, Wakko and Dot. Macy's eyes widened when she saw Bobesca's kids. She ran over to them and embraced them in a hug. The three warners were not expecting her to come over to them quickly.
"Aunt Macy! It was you that we saw in the dark one night!" Yakko smiled as Wakko didn't like how tight she was hugging them.
"Aunt Macy, can you put me down! I have lots of things to show you!" Wakko grabbed his gag bag.
"Sure, Wakko. Why don't we walk and talk along the way and you can show me what you got in that bag of yours." Macy chuckled. Plotz and Ralph sighed as the short man decided to stay in the carriage as he signaled Ralph for them to follow the warners, they were going to protect them.
"Hey, why are they following us, they didn't even help us when Salazar took over." Ms Schwartz was worried.
"Plotz and Ralph? They were sorry about what happened, so we let them join us." Yakko replied.
"Yakko, I don't think we should trust them, they forced me to stay in a locked room. The dogs they got kept me from helping out the king and queen." Ms Schwartz remembered the day when the dogs trapped her and she wouldn't open the door until everything was clear.
"Geez, Salazar needs to go down." Yakko rolled his eyes as Ms Schwartz nodded.
"I wonder how we will take back Acme Falls." Dot was trying to keep up with her family.
"I don't know, but we have to think of a plan. Wakko, do you have any ideas in mind?" Yakko looked down at his young sibling.
"I have a few ideas in mind..." Wakko gave his brother a grin before they all headed north.
At Scratchansniff's Cola Stand...
"Nurse... Zis is all hopeless! Zee warners are gone, Salazar is being harsh on zee taxes because of zos two buffoons thinking that they can leave withzout a warning!" Scratchansniff paced around his stand with anger.
"Well doctor, there is nothing more we can do. No warners, no William, no Bobesca or Ms Schwartz." Nurse replied as she sat down on a barrel and looked towards the orphanage.
"What? Zis it zos kids over zere?" Scratchansniff looked in the same direction as Nurse.
"Yes, those poor kids... Those taxes are not being funded to help them survive, if only we had enough room to take them into our care." Nurse huffed as she turned to the doctor.
"Yes, I wish ze would but ze don't have room for zhem." Scratchansniff admitted as he left his cola stand for the rest of the day.
"Where are you going doctor, what about the customers?" Nurse was worried.
"None of zhem will come, Nurse. It'z over." Scratchansniff gave up all hope as he walked back home.
"Scratchansniff..." Was the only word that escaped from Nurse's lips as she went back to the small hospital where her other friends were. Nurse turned to see Salazar again.
Salazar and the other guards returned from their hunt as they didn't find Plotz or Ralph.
"You guards are worthless! I'm beginning to think that is why the old king gave me much more than you!" Salazar growled at them.
"Then why did you make us attack them?" One of the guards fought back.
"Shut it, Mario! You will never understand! When a king tells you it's your turn to rule, then that's how it should be, screw the old tradition! I already came up with my own." Salazar walked back into the castle and the doors slammed shut behind him. The guards looked at each other.
"Hey, he's the king, we can't take away his power, we can get arrested." Arthur looked at Mario.
"Ralph was the village cop you idiot, Salazar has yet to appoint some new ones." Mario argued.
"Yi'Lang was going to be the new cop from what I was told, but he's been missing ever since that day when Salazar came back and warned us about Macy, the old warner we killed." Arthur looked at Mario.
"She escaped, didn't she?" Mario guessed.
"Yep, she must have." Arthur looked up at the sky, it started to snow again.
From the corner of the castle, two small mice were chatting. They came from the west, looking for a chance to take over Acme Falls.
"Gee, Brain, what are we gonna do tomorrow night?" The taller mouse with blue eyes asked in confusion as the shorter one replied to his question.
"The same thing we do every night, Pinky... Try to take over the world! And I know where we can start." Brain walked into the village with Pinky following behind him, they soon made their way to a horse stable.
"Ooh, Brain! I love horses! I didn't know they get this big!" Pinky jumped up in excitement.
"Pinky, this is not the time to be playing around with horses. We are just staying here temporarily until we can come up with a plan to take over the king's castle." Brain replied.
"Oooh, I wonder what living in a castle would be like." Pinky started to day dream about having lots of food.
"Pinky, living in a castle would make us rich, we would be honored by all of the people and they will do as we say!" Brain explained but Pinky was too busy petting all of the horses even the one that was white with blue eyes and gray hair.
"Hey, Brain! This one looks just like me!" Pinky hugged the horse.
"Pinky, stop fooling around and help me!" Brain took out a small box of tools.
"What are we doing now, Brain?" Pinky asked him as Brain smacked him on the head.
"Fool! We are making ourselves a mouse hole to live in, do you think we want people to notice we are here? Now start cutting us a mouse hole while I write down some blue prints!" Brain threw a tiny saw at Pinky.
"You got it, Brain!" Pinky ran over to the wall and clumsily made an opening in the wall, he nearly cut himself with the saw as he started to dance and swing it around. As he was about to fully turn around, he accidentally flung the saw towards Brain.
"Oopsie..." Pinky sheepishly looked Brain who ducked in time.
"Pinky, sometimes I want to leave you behind." Brain grumbled as he walked over to the hole in the wall and grabbed Pinky.
The horse made sounds at Pinky as the mouse tried to wave back but Brain dragged him into the hole even further.
"Pinky, stop being so silly and come over here." Brain growled. Pinky finally turned to him.
"Okay! Narf!" Pinky blurted out.
At The Edge Of Water Stone Creek...
"Mom, why are we stopping at this creek?" Nakko wondered.
"Because, I'm supplying us with water, if we are going to take Acme Falls back from Salazar, we need some water and food." Macy replied.
"We have all the food in Wakko's gag bag!" Dot looked back at Wakko, she coughed again.
"Dot... Do you need more medicine?" Rakko looked at Dot, he was still worried about her.
"No thanks, that stuff taste like garbage!" Dot gave Rakko a stern look.
"Hey, it helps though." Rakko shrugged.
"You kids have been through so much, I thought we'd never see you again." Ms Schwartz was still surprised that they've been alive all of this time.
"We have but we learned to survive." Yakko replied while playing with a paddle ball. He put the toy away and noticed that they were turning around.
"Are you sure that we are the only ones that can fight Salazar? Don't you all want to gather more people, mother?" Nakko asked Macy.
"We can fight them, we don't need anyone else." Macy replied.
"We can help too!" Plotz shouted from within the carriage.
"Plotz, since when did you ever help us? You made it clear that Salazar was fit to rule, you took people's money and you expect us to believe you?" Ms Schwartz huffed at him.
"I ditched Salazar! Ralph and I came out here because we needed some help! I can't stand king Salazar anymore!" Plotz finally admitted.
"Oh? Did he go after you too?" Ms Schwartz asked him.
"Yes, ask Ralph." Plotz pointed to his partner.
"Duuuuahuuah... Oh yeahs! They went after us with dogs!" Ralph was finally able to keep up with the conversation.
When they got back to Slump Town, they noticed two guards that didn't go back with Salazar. The captain of the guard and a small guard that saw tracks from the wheels of the carriage.
"Uh ohs! It looks like the search is not over yet!" Ralph commented.
"You think?" Plotz shouted from below.
"Calm down you two, it's not like they can see us in here." Ms Schwartz whispered.
"Just keep quiet." Macy covered Wakko's mouth as the young warner was about to burp.
"Uuuh... Aunt Macy, are you sure that we will be safe, fighting on our own?" Yakko asked her.
"Yes, we don't need anyone else to be involved." Macy replied.
"What about Nurse and Scratchansniff?" Wakko decided to cut in.
"I think we should keep them safe, we don't need them to fight." Macy answered.
"How do you know, mom? If we fight alone against all of Salazar's men, we will die." Rakko panicked.
"Brother calm down! We'll be fine!" Nakko huffed.
"Rakko, you worry too much! With my gag bag and all my gadgets we will take those evil guards down!" Wakko cheered behind his scared cousin.
"We are with you, Rakko." Dot took out a small box.
"What's in the box?" Rakko asked her.
"Oh, just my pet. I found him in the carriage." Dot grinned.
"I didn't notice a pet before." Rakko was now confused.
"That's because you didn't look hard enough." Dot gave him another grin before looking ahead to see Slump Town was gone as they passed it.
"I hope we finally get justice." Ms Schwartz looked at Plotz.
"I do agree, Ms Schwartz, I'm sorry that we didn't listen to you." Plotz finally apologized for the issue that he caused with her.
"I guess I can accept your apology Plotz, you were controlled by Salazar after all. I can't stay mad at you." Ms Schwartz smiled at him at last.
"Ms Schwartz, I will do all that I can to protect you." Plotz looked back at her with a smile.
"Awww... I love this..." Rakko clasped his hands together.
"You don't think they'll get married do you?" Wakko looked up at his older brother.
"Naaah! They are just trusting each other at last." Yakko turned away and waved his hand.
As soon as they reached the edge of Acme Falls, everyone got out of the carriage except for Ralph who was on the upper deck keeping the horses from moving any further.
"This is it. We must take back what we deserve!" Yakko shouted out as everyone cheered.
"Duuuuuahuuuh... Does this means that yous warners are the rightful, uuuuuh... Uuuuhh... Oh yeahs! Rulers?" Ralph asked them.
"Yes, we three are the rightful rulers Ralph." Yakko answered his question.
"And we will fight back with lots and lots of force!" Nakko growled.
"Easy, Nakko, don't over kill them." Rakko warned him.
"They must pay for what they did to us." Nakko grumbled as Rakko finally understood Nakko's anger.
"Are we all ready to take back Acme Falls?" Yakko asked everyone.
"I sure am!" Dot coughed, trying to keep her spirits and wits up high.
"Me too!" Wakko cheered as he took out his large mallet.
"You know that we were born ready." Macy nodded and Ms Schwartz agreed.
"We will do what we can to distract the guards." Plotz told Yakko as Ralph wasn't so sure about the plan.
"Duuuuuuuuah, but won't we gets killed?" Ralph asked Plotz.
"Ralph! It's called a distraction! We make a run for it while the warners sneak into the castle and take back the castle!" Plotz explained the plan.
"Oooh Okays." Ralph nodded as they rode into their old village.
At The Stables...
"Pinky, can you hand me a red marker?" Brain asked while Pinky was drawing all over himself with it.
"Oh! Sorry Brain, Narf! Here is the marker!" He handed Brain the used up marker.
"Thank you, Pinky." Brain snatched the marker away and tried to draw with it on the blue prints of the castle but it wasn't working.
"Pinky? What happened to all of the ink in this marker?" Brain hissed.
"Oh well, I was trying to dye myself red! Hahaha! Narf!" Pinky laughed as Brain smacked him on the head with the used marker.
"Next time you'll be knocked into next week!" Brain grumbled as he used a yellow marker instead.
"Oooh stars? Where are you? Narf!" Pinky was dancing around while feeling dizzy from the hit he took from Brain.
"Pinky, I think you should sit down before I give you another smacking." Brain turned to face Pinky again.
Pinky who was dancing all around finally fainted on the table.
"Oh boy, what am I gonna do with him?" Brain muttered to himself as he continued drawing out their plan for the next night.
In The Castle...
Salazar was appointing new village cops and a brand new role, the village protector. He was pacing around the men to see if they qualified for the jobs they wanted.
"Well men, most of you have failed me time and time again. I guess this is gonna be a tough choice." Salazar was scratching his chin, he wasn't sure who would make the best cop or the best protector.
"I guess Mario and Arthur can be the village cops and Mujori will be the village protector." Salazar said as most of them let out a sigh of sadness.
"Okay? Who else can do it any better? Most of you aren't even good enough to catch two men who escaped with my money!" Salazar hissed.
"We thought we'd get some more jobs to do is all, sir." A shy guard whimpered from the back of the crowd.
"Well most of you should have worked harder! You all will be guarding the castle at all times, alright? Now get out of my sight!" Salazar ordered as the guards turned and left the meeting room.
"I should get rid of this god awful chair! How did William get comfortable sitting in this meeting chair?" Salazar pushed himself backwards and scooted the gold and red chair in.
As he left the room, he looked towards his right to see everyone cheering outside. He ran up to the castle doors and opened them as light beamed through them. King Salazar awaited his worst nightmare.
