Ch.4: Toon Tragedy
"Run for your lives!" yelled Plucky as he, Tina, and Bugs dashed out of the Warner Brother's Studio.
Toons walking around outside stopped in confusion when they noticed the trio sprinting for their lives. Just what the heck was going on?
The answer came just seconds later, as an array of dark, black tentacles sprouted out of the main office, and the fearsome form of a demonic human sprang out into the light.
"Hahaha!" the creature laughed.
"Aaahhh!" screamed the Toons, and started running in fright.
"Who is that creep?" shouted Tina.
"I don't know" said Bugs " but I suggest if we want to live to find out, we have to continue to …Ruuunn!"
"Bugs!" shouted Tina and Plucky in shock, as they watched the cartoon rabbit get pulled up rapidly by the sinister villain.
"You'll die first," said the villain to Bugs.
"Let him go you creepy thing!" said Lola, suddenly charging in with a motorcycle.
Speeding at nearly two hundred miles an hour, Lola jumped off one of the studio's rooftops, and sprung up to grab Bugs away from the villain's vise. However, even after he was saved, Bugs still had to survive the impact when he and Lola crashed into the water tower.
"Uh, thanks," said Bugs as he got up.
"No problem," said Lola, fainting to the ground.
"You guys okay?" asked Tina, as she and Plucky ran up.
"We may be" said Bugs " but the others aren't. That rejected she-devil is going to tear the whole place apart,"
"What does she have against toons anyway?" asked Plucky.
"Psstt!" hissed a voice from nearby, making the toons turn " if you want the answers, you'll have to follow me,"
Not one to distrust a voice that suddenly came out of nowhere, Bugs urged the others to follow until they ended up in the publisher's office.
The publisher had approve any cartoons before they were ever shown to the Warner Brothers. It was a surprise to Bugs that the publisher's office was so clean and organized, considering the number of cartoons they did.
"Open that cabinet," said the mysterious voice. There was still no body to be seen.
Bugs immediately reached for the cabinet to the left, then the voice shouted again.
"The other one stupid!" said the voice, and the rabbit corrected his mistake " The answers you need are in there,"
Pulling the file out of the right cabinet this time, Bugs looked down to discover the same name that been underlined in Daffy's address book; Morgan Alice Deadra.
Curiosity peaked, Bugs opened up the file and began to read.
"Morgan Alice Deadra. Occupation: Hollywood Agent
Client: Daffy Duck
Note: Fired when trying to kill her client over an unknown dispute. Has disappeared from the entertainment world."
" Boy this sounds like another ex-wife story," said Tina.
"Are you sure we can trust that mysterious voice?" said Plucky " it could have just been pulling our leg,"
A lightning bolt suddenly came down and struck the little, green duck, burning him where he stood.
"Basic rule of thumb Plucky" said Bugs " never underestimate the power of a mysterious voice,"
"I'll make a note on that," said Plucky, picking himself back up.
"Why is this Morgan guy so mad?" said Lola, looking out the window " If she's mad at Daffy, why attack us? And how the heck did she get those powers?"
"We'll have to save those questions for later" said Bugs " right now we need to stop her the whole place is destroyed,"
"And how are we going to do that?" asked Tina.
"With a little help from our friends," said Bugs.
Outside, the chaos had increased, as a demonic Morgan terrorized and eliminated each toon that got in her path. The subtle plan of taking over Warner Brothers had gone down in flames, now it was time for the direct approach.
Quivering with a small gathering of toons that hadn't been erased yet, Yosemite Sam sat cowering, praying that they would come out alive.
"You think she'll find us?" said Sylvester.
A black tentacle suddenly came crashing down, crushing their van cover.
"That answer your question," said Sam, and immediately went screaming with the rest.
"I say we need a miracle to save us now," said Foghorn.
" Hey, Miss tall, dark, and ugly!" shouted Bugs, standing confidently on a nearby rooftop " Why don't you bring your tantrum up here,"
"You're no match for me alone rabbit" said Morgan as she stampeded her way towards Bugs " get ready for your last prayer,"
"Uh, don't think so" said Bugs " 'cause this time I called in some help,"
With that said, an army of Disney characters suddenly appeared to help their fellow rivals in their time of need. Even their villains had come to join the fray.
"Charge!" shouted Bugs, and the whole army attacked at once.
The demonic Morgan was instantly taken aback from being overwhelmed by such numbers. There seemed to be no end to the rumbling sea of toons.
The Beagle Boy family instantly took hold of the villain's tentacles and pinned them down to the ground, while Darkwing Duck's group and the rest of the Disney armada focused their attacks on the villainess herself.
Screams echoed from Morgan's mouth as she was electrocuted, clawed, and shot to oblivion. Only a few minutes into the struggle, the villain was brought down, begging to her knees.
Everyone cheered when they had her pinned, but Bugs knew that the fight wasn't over until Morgan was gone for good.
Luckily, for everyone in the crowd, Quackerjack and Paddywack had the perfect solution.
"It's playtime!" said Quackerjack, turning the handle on a copy of Paddywack's jack-in-the-box prison.
Once the song was finished, the jack-in-the-box's lid flipped up, and a vacuum of air came out, sucking the villainess inside to be trapped for eternity.
Darkwing Duck took the box from Quackerjack and handed it to Bugs as the rabbit finished climbing down from the roof. Relieved that the chaos was finally over, the surviving Looney Tunes came out of hiding and excitedly gave their thanks to the Disney stars.
During the celebration, Bugs looked solemnly at the trapped villainess he now held in his hands. Something still didn't sit right in his mind.
The battle may have been won, but Bugs could tell that the fight wasn't over. How did a normal human like Morgan gain the power to turn into someone like this? And what did she do to Daffy?
No, the battle wasn't over yet, this was just the beginning.
