The Fall from Grace

by Cutie and the Beast

Set after Fear and Laughter in Burbank. The episode's filming has left Yakko scarred, and he finally realizes the producers don't care about him. In his blind rage, he releases chaos upon the world, in the order of Yakko's World. It's up to his sibs to bring him back, but will they be successful? Or will the world fall victim to Yakko Warner?

1. Chapter 1

He was fed up with it all. That episode had broken him, even if it was just an act. He refused to believe that the directors, producers, everybody on the team had agreed to treat him like that. He was worth more than that.

"Yakko?" Dot jumped up onto the couch next to her brooding brother. "Are you okay?"

Yakko forced himself up off the couch and into the kitchen. Leaning against the counter, he hung his head and stared solemnly at a spot on the countertop.

"Wakko snuck into the kitchen to grab a snack, but Yakko didn't look up. He gave no reaction, no smile, no light giggle, not even a hint of frustration at his brother's consistent eating. No, his face was blank, still staring at the countertop.

"Yakko? Earth to Yakko?" Wakko pulled out his mallet, and Yakko only responded after seeing the shadow looming above him.

"Leave me alone, you hear? I've just been through the worst filming of my entire life, and I can't do anything about it!"

"It was a rough shoot," Wakko admitted. "I'll be honest, Nickelwise scared me too. But it's okay, isn't it?"

"No, Wakko, it's not okay. The creative team is going to pay. Heck, the whole world is going to pay for laughing at my suffering." Yakko pushed his hands down harder on the counter before bouncing off and storming away.

"A storm cloud rose above his head as he walked through the tower, and it eventually overtook the whole interior. He could hear his siblings choking somewhere in the darkness, but he had stopped caring. Nothing would stop him from getting his revenge.

"Lightning cracked outside as he opened the door. He stood out on the balcony, overlooking the studio he had known and loved all his life. He had surveyed it many a time, but something about this was different. This time, there were no buildings, just a barren wasteland. He saw what he wanted to see.

Slowly, however, he began to see the studios, the sets, everything on the lot light up. The lightning illuminated each silhouette, and the thunder boomed and shook them all to life. He couldn't stand it anymore.

No more Mr. Nice Guy. He tugged at a string dangling in the air next to him, unleashing a torrent of anvils and mallets. He would no longer be using the pen and not the sword in a fight. No, the world was going to learn he was a threat.

Nobody messed with his siblings because they fought back physically. Now he would do the same. Yakko Warner would finally prove himself and show the world that he was a deadly force, and nobody could escape his wrath.
