Times Sacrifice

"Come on boys pull!" Foghorn said they had managed to get Bugs back on their tug of war side.

"NO if I can't have Daffy then you will have to fill in!" Rufus shouted wildly as he began clawing at Lola's leg making her cry out. The pull was slowly becoming stronger as the Tunes began slipping, it wasn't long before Lola's hand slipped out of Bugs'.

"No!" they both cried, Daffy had seen this from his position, he couldn't let this happen, he pulled himself closer to the wall before propelling himself towards Lola pushing her out of the way as she landed through the wall on the other side, he hoped he had not hurt her but he couldn't see any other way, he looked to the portal, his fate.
He was surprised when he felt someone grip his wing.

"Bugsth?" he shouted seeing who had caught him.

"Hold on Daffy!" Bugs called as his grip tightened around the ducks arm, but the pull was become stronger and more incessant now that Rufus had been sucked through, the Tunes were losing ground as they were all pulled closer to the hole. Daffy closed his eyes before staring into Bugs'.

"Bugsth let go!" he called knowing that if they didn't they would all be pulled in.

"What! NO!" Bugs shouted in replied furious that Daffy would even suggest it, as his grip tightened again making Daffy wince. They were still being pulled closer and now Bugs was struggling to keep his feet on the ground.

"BUGS HOLD ON!" the others called to the rabbit.

"Thisth wind isth ri-ri-ridiculesth!" cried Slvester.

"Hold on ya stupid Duck!" shouted Sam being the only one other the Bugs who could hear what Daffy was saying over the wind.

"We're slipping!" commented Wile E.

"Guys pull harder!" cried Foghorn feeling himself slid forward a couple of inches.

"We're trying!" could be heard from some.

"Well try harda!" called Sam looking over his shoulder as he continued to pull on the rabbit's stomach.

Daffy looked at Bugs with a sad look.

"Bugs it's ok," he said with a smile, Bugs' eyes widened as he felt Daffy's grip loosen.

"Daffy don't you dare!" he screamed back, Daffy just smiled as his hand fell through Bugs' grip, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bugs cried as Daffy was being submerged into the green light, "DAFFY!"

"It's ok Bugs, it's ok before I go I just want you to know, you're my best frie..." Bugs heard in his head before the duck was fully submerged, the wind lessened as the portal closed with a small pop, the Tunes fell from the loss of wind.

Bugs landed on his knees, tears began to make their way down his face before he madly began pounding the floor in anger and grief. Sam put his hand on Bugs' shoulder.

"That Duck was a mighty brave duck, he did that for us," he said as he looked towards where the portal had been, a silence filled the group as they mourned their friend.

"Sniff sniff, hey does anyone else smell smoke?" Wile E said after a while, it was then that the Tunes noticed the fire.

"FIRE!" they cried as they scrambled to get out of the house, Foghorn running over to Lola picking her up before he made his way out, Sam stopped as he saw that Bugs made no move to leave.

"Again, I let him down again," Bugs whispered knowing that Someone was watching him.

"You didn't rabbit, he saved us," Sam said from behind Bugs, "You're letting him down now by just sitting here," he continued, "Come on ya stupid rabbit," he said with a sigh as he pulled his colleague up and began guiding him out of the house.

They exited the house, shortly afterwards Lola awoke she wish she hadn't once Bugs filled her in, just like the rest of them she was blaming herself, what ifs were bounding around their heads and as if to mock them the storm passed letting the sun bathe the world in warmth and sunshine.

A fire engine could be heard in the distance, the Tunes looked to each other, Daffy told them it would be ok, and Bugs knew that the duck didn't want them moping about, besides hadn't Lo promised something about an orphanage, yeah she had he remembered. He looked to the sky a sad smile on his lips, they had survived but survival had come at a hefty price, one that none of them wished to pay again, they would carry on with their lives, Daffy had made sure to that, it would be ok eventually but for now they mourned the loss of a friend, wondering if they would ever see their little black duck again. They would be sure to always remember him.

Daffy's head was spinning, he had let go of Bugs' hand and was pulled into the portal, inside was a whirling vortex, Daffy felt sick and dizzy before he suddenly felt cold, very very very very very cold, he opened his eyes and all he could see was whiteness, his energy was draining from him and he shut his eyes he didn't know where he was all he knew was that it was cold, he felt his heartbeat slow down from the arctic weather he clenched his hand a smile was on his face, he was going to die, but he had saved his friends.

The next time Daffy opened his eyes it was accompanied by a major headache, he didn't know where he was the last thing he remembered was saying good bye to Bugs and then white, just an endless void of white. He look at his surroundings, defiantly not where he had been, the room he was in looked like some kind of sci-fi stage set, a whoosh noise came from his left as someone entered, it was a man that seemed to have a big light bulb on his head. Strange.

"Ah you're awake, well welcome Duck Dodgers to the 240th ½ century."
