Back in the dungeons Sylvester was still trying to pick the lock.
"Come on you no good cat! It can't be dat hard!" yelled Sam
"Yeah, well I don't sthee you tr-tr-trying anything," replied Sylvester.
"Oh where is dat wascally wabbit when you need him?" cried Elmer.
"G-g-g-got any thr-thr-threes?" asked Porky.
"Go fish," replied Foghorn, "Got any, I say got any aces?"
"Blahaba!" cried Taz throwing his cards down.
"Now Taz it's just a game," scolded Wile E.
"Blahbababla," said Taz crossing his arms and turning his back on the game.
Rufus was seething, he had just come from Daffy's cell to find that the duck had disappeared. In his hand he held the remote to the collar he had placed on Daffy, he smirked as he turned the dial up to 1/3 of its power, he reframed from pressing the on button, choosing to watch Daffy suffer.
Daffy silently gulped from his hiding place from around the corner, he had seen Rufus coming up the stairs, his feathers stiffened as he caught sight of the remote, he let out the breath he hadn't realized he was holding as Rufus put the wicked device away walking off down the hall.
Daffy stood still, behind him were Lola and Bugs, he waited for a few minute before crossing the distance between the hallway and the basement stairs with the others hot on his trail. He slowly crept down the stairs. Once he reached the bottom, he waited for the others to catch up.
"Daff, you sure day are down 'ere?" asked Bugs looking around the creepy place. Daffy didn't answer instead his attention was draw to a room with a piece of cut rope hanging from the ceiling, on the floor he could see blood and vile, Lola walked over to the duck, looking in the direction he was looking at she gasped.
"Daf is that where..." she asked trailing off.
"Yep, come one they're down here," said Daffy walking on.
"Shhh guysth sthomeone's coming" whispered Sylvester to the others as he moved away from the door.
"Ah I wonder what da guys are doing," a voice said.
"BUGS!" the captives called recognizing the owner of the voice.
"Ok you were right day were here Daff," he said looking behind him.
"Daff? Bugs, Daffy's dead," whispered Wile E sadly.
"Dead am I? Well then I guessth you don't need my help," said Daffy coming into the view of the others along with Lola.
"DAFFY!" cries of joy echoed around the dungeon.
"Sth'up guysth, and before I let you out, I'm injured be carefull Arghhhhhh!" he cried as he was enveloped in a huge group hug from the captives who were let out by Bugs.
"Ok, ok I get it, you missed me."
"Daff, we are so sorry that we left you..."
"Oy not this again, look abracadabra you're forgiven," Daffy said as they released him
"Go-go-go-good enough for me," said Porky smiling.
"Come on letsth get out of this creepy place," said Daffy walking back to the stairs again he stopped as they past his cell.
"Don't worry Daf we won't let him hurt you any more," said Lola giving him a hug from behind.
"Thanksth Lo," said Daffy walking on with Lola by his side before he stopped and entered the room to get something, Lola went in with him and looked over his shoulder at what he had picked up.
"Wow," she said
"Yeah, it'sth the orphansth that I help out with, they gave it to me for my birthday," said Daffy admiring the picture, "Listen Lo, if anything happensth to me, you guysth gotta help these kidsth," said Daffy with tears in his eyes.
"Daffy we are all getting out of here, and when we do, we will all go to help you with these kids," said Lola as Daffy looked to her before putting his photos back in his feathers.
"What was dat about rabbit?" Sam asked Bugs.
"Dat was where Rufus kept Daf and..." he trailed off as the others confused faces changed to that of realization at what their friend had been put through. Mutterings of when I get a hold of him could be heard through out the room.
"Ah Daff, I say Daffy boy, I picked this up for you!" called Foghorn walking over to Daffy, Daffy looked shocked as Foghorn presented the katana he had taken.
"My-my sword? I thought I had losth it forever," whispered Daffy taking a hold of the sheaved weapon. "How? Where?" he asked.
"I found it in the armoury, for some reason I felt as if it... belonged to you," said Foghorn, he smiled as Daffy smiled and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank you, my teachersth gave me thisth, thank you stho much," said Daffy crying as memories of his lost family came to mind.
"Aww shucks it was nothing," said Foghorn as the group continued walking to the stairs.
The gang froze once the reached the top of the stairs, for there standing in front of them was Rufus along with his servant, who was glaring at Daffy with barely, concealed rage behind them stood Rufus' time machine.
"Well well looks like the gang's all back together, now, I have decided your fates," Rufus said coldly as he eyes up the individual toons, "Daffy I want you to suffer for what you have done, you will watch your friends die slowly, and then using the power of time you will become immortal, so you can forever suffer alone," said Rufus as he indicated to his time machine.
"You'll never get away wit dis Doc, will stop ya," said Bugs standing forward.
"So I see we'll have to do this the hard way," said Rufus bringing out a remote from under his clothes, Daffy's eyes widened as he pressed the button.
"Gah!" cried Daffy as his collar activated.
"Daff!" cried Bugs as he went to his friend.
"Uh uh I wouldn't do that if I was you rabbit," said Rufus as he turned the dial to halfway.
"Argh!" screamed Daffy as he fell to his knees, gripping the collar around his neck, the gang stood stock still, each looking towards the duck who was twitching in pain with heartbroken faces.
"That's better don't you think Doc?" said Rufus mocking Bugs.
Bugs scowled towards the squirrel before looking back to Daffy. Daffy was struggling back to his feet, his breathing was heavy, Rufus scowled before turning the dial up more.
"NoARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Daffy screamed as he fell back to his knees. Rufus laughed at the withering Daffy, Lola felt tears fall down her furry cheeks, as she watched on she turned her head.
"Watch Lola!" cried Rufus turning the dial up a bit more.
"Ngh, stop," Daffy said as he struggled back to his feet. "I...I...Won't...Let you...Hurt them."
"Oh and just exactly what are you going to do to stop me, you're pathetic," Rufus retorted with a sneer.
Tweety who was flying high above his friends was out of view from the bad guys as he flew above them.
"My friendsth will help me," said Daffy looking up at Tweety with a grin.
"And how do you expect your friends to help you this time, didn't they leave you to die in that car, wasn't it you who said friends don't leave friends," said Rufus with a laugh making all the Looney Tunes over come with guilt.
"Tell me, what do...Y-you Kn-kn-know about da... Looney Tunes?" asked Daffy gritting his teeth.
"Looney Tunes? What's so great about a bunch of toons," Rufus replied not caring.
"Asth Bugsth...Once told the...The nerdlucksth...Not justh anybody...'an be a Looney Tune," replied Daffy.
"Daf save your strength," said Bugs in a worried voice as he watched his friend struggle. Daffy shrugged off the concern taking a step forward. At Rufus' uninterested look he continued.
"Yo-you don't get it...Do you? We aren't just your average toons, we were drawn crazy and guess what... we fight crazy, NOW TWEETY!" shouted Daffy as Tweety dropped a safe on top of the unsuspecting villain. Daffy fell to the floor coughing as Bugs and the others ran to his side.
"Guysth...Get outta here...Thisth fightsth j-j-just stharted," said Daffy looking to his friends.
"We ain't leaving you again Daff," said Bugs pulling Daffy to his feet.
"Bugs we need to get that remote and turn that collar off!" cried Lola.
"You shall pay for attacking my master," said Albert.
"Oh yeah! Well I want a rematch!" shouted Lola flexing, Daffy looked to Lola worriedly.
"Lo...La," he said before his legs gave way, lucky for him Bugs hadn't left his side and was there to help balance him.
"Guys where's da remote?" asked Bugs holding Daffy.
"Rufus must still have it," replied Wile E. Pointing to the safe.
"Bugsth...Keep an eye...On Lola," panted Daffy leaning on Bugs. Bugs nodded and pulled Daffy to help him sit against the wall, Bugs could see that the mallard was still hurting because of the collar turning around he looked back in time to see Lola be thrown backwards.
"LO!" he called out to her.
"I'm ok Bugs, get Daffy out of here!" she called back. Bugs nodded, he went to pick Daffy up.
"If you pick me up making me abandon my friendsth Bugsth I will never forgive you," Daffy said in a serious voice as he ignored his collar, Bugs looked to Daffy shocked, he stopped could he really put Daffy through the guilt that they went through, he sighed and reluctantly nodded at Daffy.
Bugs turned around and noticed for the first time that only him, Daffy, Wile E, Lola and Tweety were the only Tunes in the room, the others have left them, he felt betrayed, had the others really just left them? Like he had left Daffy.
