"Ohhhh!" Dia groaned.

The mermaid's head was swimming with dizziness, but she wasn't underwater when she woke up. Her eyes saw giant red rocks. She looked around to see she was in a volcanic environment and it was as large as the Sahara desert.

She tried to move, but her hands and tail were chained up to a wall. She saw she wasn't the only one. Trolley, Shou Off, Choc, Danny and Sweet Corn were chained to the same wall she was on. They were unconscious.

"Guys," she whispered. "Guys, wake up."

"Up already, Diamond?"

Dia looked ahead to see Nymther ahead.

"How do you like my kingdom?" he chuckled. "I haven't been here for six millenniums, but it's still the loveliest place on Earth."

"Great for an underworld," scoffed Dia.

"I'm going to redecorate the whole planet with this," boasted Nymther.

"When you say 'I'm going to'," Dis smiled smugly, "I think you mean your minions will."

"Yes," nodded Nymther. "Would you like to meet them?" He clapped his hands.

"All right, we're coming!" shouted a male voice.

"Keep your shirt on!" shouted a female voice. "Or whatever you're wearing."

Then Dia was surprised to see Nymther's slaves coming towards them. "Bosko? Honey? Beans? Foxy? Roxy? Goopy Geer?"

"Surprised?" asked Beans.

"How did you guys end up here?" asked Dia. "Especially you, Foxy, Roxy and Goopy, after all Buster and Babs did for you?"

"Well, Nyth here kidnapped us after that Tiny Toons episode," said Foxy, "and – "

"He tricked us," said Bosko, putting his hand around Honey.

"He said this job would be the career of our lives – " said Honey.

"He thought I belonged here all because of that Animaniacs episode I appeared in," moaned Buddy.

"Enough chit-chat!" snapped Nymther. "We have so little time to take over this enormous planet! Now come on! Get to work!"

The slaves moved away.

Nymther turned back to Dia. "You're probably wondering what I did with your friends. Let's find out."

He sat down on his giant lava stone throne and got out a remote. He pressed it and a rock wall split into two and moved like curtains at a movie theatre. It revealed a giant movie screen and it was turned on. It showed Zack unconscious and wrapped in rope around Chip's mast.

"How is it going, Nymuch?" asked Nymther. He had a phone on his throne.

Dia turned to see Nymuch steering Chip's helm. "So far, so good, my Lord," Nymuch reported. "ETA to Iguazu Falls: ten minutes."

"Iguaza Falls?" Then Dia gasped, realising what this means. "Of course, what more painful way to kill one of my best friends than a dangerous waterfall?"

"What to know about your other best friend?" smiled Nymther. He pressed his remote.

The screen changed and revealed Eric.

An unconscious Eric slowly opened his eyes and quickly woke up to see where he was. He saw that he was in an environment surrounded by metal walls. He looked up to see a glass dome revealing a blue sky with white clouds.

He tried to move, but saw his arms were wrapped with another pair of hands in ropes.

"Easy, Eric," said Clive's voice.

"Clive?"

"Yeah, it's Clive." The Neo rebel was the one whose hands were tied with Eric's. "Where are we?"

Eric and Clive slowly got up.

"Well, judging by the metal walls," said Eric, "and the glass dome above us showing the sky – "

"And the trap door we are about to go over!" Clive saw the traps doors on the floor they were on flapping up and down. They stopped.

"I'd say we're in some sort of hovering station in the sky," Eric concluded. "What else do you see?"

"Clive sees the Looney Tunes and the Tiny Toons up above us," replied Clive, looking up.

Eric looked up to see Clive was right. The Looney Tunes and Tiny Toons were all on a balcony and back in chain shackles and balls.

"Hey, what's going on here?" asked Daffy.

"Why are we in c-c-c-ch-ch-ch… shackles?" asked Porky.

All the toons were questioning each other about where they were and what was going on. Except one group who shared a ball.

"A – A – A – " L'il Sneezer had tiny shackles on his tiny hands, feet, tail and even his tiny neck. "I'm – I'm all – aller – "

"You're allergic to chains, we get it!" snapped Sweetie. "That's why you're the only one with a neck chain, so you can't sneeze."

"Don't give up hope now," said Mary Melody.

"Meow?" asked Furrball.

"We have Eric and Clive down there," said Mary. "They'll come up with something."

Meanwhile, Eric and Clive still hadn't moved. "Eric got any spells to get us out of here?" asked Clive.

"I've tried," said Eric, "but I'd say this place is immune to my magic. What about you, Clive? You got any gadgets?"

"Not a one," said Clive.

Then a giant door opened and out came Nyhth, who held a microphone.

"Hello, toons, wizards and aliens," said the stop-motioned demigod. "Welcome to the EWE!"

"Lemme guess," said Bugs. "Epic Wrestlin' Entertainment?"
"That's correct," smiled Nyhth.

"You're right," said Melissa. "Ewe, indeed."
"You guys are in for a real treat today," Nyhth went on. "We are going to see the alien, who betrayed her own species and her own planet, and the wizard who risked his friends' life for a failed attempt to be with his girl. Do you guys have anything to confess?"

"Clive has nothing to confess and Nyhth knows it," Clive replied.

"What about you, Eric?" asked Nyhth. "Don't you have something to tell Bugs before you die?"

Eric just remained silent.

"What is it, Eric?" asked Bugs.

"The reason you got kicked out of Warner Bros. and the Acme Loo," said Eric, "was because it was my birthday that day and my present from the Epics would be to… remove you from your studio."

All the toons gasped.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" demanded Lola.

Eric just couldn't answer. He turned his head away.

"Well, to get this story going, you can now all enjoy watching them get what they deserve," said Nyhth. He clapped his hands and moved out of the way. He went into an elevator that took him to a grand white platform. He sat on a comfy black leather sofa. "Oh, and before I forget, those trapdoors aren't manual control. They have a mind of their own."

Then the giant doors opened.

"Gossamer?" exclaimed Clive.

Yes, it was the giant red Gossamer. He came towards Eric and Clive. As he roared in Eric's face, the wizard just blew in his face and Gossamer fell down.

"Phew, when did you brush last, Goss?" Eric joked.

"What good's that going to do to the red guy?" asked Daffy.

"Ladies and gentlemen," said Eric to the audience, "welcome to Eric and Clive's guide to defeating cartoon monsters. Rule number one: Always be on an alert."

"Rule number two," said Clive, joining him. "Never be too eager to rush the opponent. Clive knows Vin Diesel said it's rule number one in The Pacifier, but in this case – "

Gossamer got up.

"Rule number three," said Eric, "for a surprise attack, let your opponent come to you – "

"Then let the partner kick him away," Clive finished, as she back flapped over Eric and kicked Gossamer back behind the closing giant doors.

"I have, I say, I have to admit they're good," said Foghorn.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Taz nodded.

"But dat's only de 'irst' one," said Bugs.

The doors opened and through the darkness came huffing and puffing and growling sounds.

"Toro," said Eric and Clive together.

Toro the bull came out and snorted at his opponents.

"Hey, pal, you see any red?" said Eric, as he and Clive walked backwards.

Toro looked around. He looked up and the only red thing he saw was Buster's red jumper. He ran to the column under the blue rabbit and stretched up like a dog and snorted.

"Great thinking, Eric," said an unimpressed Buster.

Toro kept snorting and snorting up to Buster.

"Hey, Toro!" cried Eric. "If you like Buster's jumper, check this out!"

Toro turned around and saw Eric and Clive were standing in front of a wall full of red. The bull growled and charged for them. The wizard and the alien hopped out of the way. The bull crashed into the wall, which caused Nyhth's balcony above to crack and fall down.

"Rule number four," said Eric, "find your opponent's weakness and use it to trick him or her to crash."

"Cause the boss to fall out of his chair to gain bonus points," added Clive.

"By the way," said Eric, "I think this is better than any of Buster's guides."

"Hey!" yelled Buster.

"And Clive thinks she's both suffered and succeeded more than Babs ever did in Buster's guides," said Clive.

"In your dreams, Clive!" snapped Babs.

Nyhth picked himself out of the rubble. "Very clever, you two," he sneered. "Now try to smart your way out of this."

He clapped his hands out and moved out of the way. The gates opened and out came Hugo the Abominable Snow.

"Hey, Hugo, isn't it a little too warm for you here?" asked Eric.

"As long as I got you two wonder dolls to play with," said Hugo, squishing Eric and Clive, "I'm happy."

"Clive bets Lola's glad she's not in her place!" squeaked Clive.

"And I bet you're glad you're here and not there, eh, Diamond?" Nymther grinned.

Dia just glared at him.

"Well, I need to go and work on my plans for taking over the world," the god said. "But I won't leave you alone, because I don't trust you guys not to escape." He whistled and a little girl came to him.

Dia was shocked. "Oh, my god! Not Elmyra!"

"Ooh!" exclaimed Elmyra Duff. "Are these cute cuddly wuddly animals for me to love and play with?"

"They are, my dear," smiled Nymther.

The first creature Elmyra hugged was… Dia!

"Why do you want me, Elmyra?" asked Dia. "I may not be human but that does not mean…"

"What a pretty, witty mermay wormy," said Elmyra, not listening to the mermaid.

"Well, one good thing is that little brat isn't hugging me," said Danny.

"Yeah, I'm glad she's not hugging me, too," said Sweet Corn.

All that puppets agreed.

"Thanks a lot, guys," squeaked Dia, as Elmyra was hugging her by the throat.

Back on the sky station, Eric and Clive, still tied together, were in safe in a corner and happy.

"Enjoying yourself, Hugo?" asked Eric.

Hugo was now hugging a tied-up Crusher, a tied-up Arnold the pit-bull and a tied-up Dwayne Johnson. "Oh, boy, I'm the luckiest person in the world," the monster smiled.

The toons cheered Eric and Clive.

"Not strong enough to wriggle yourself out of a cartoon character, DJ?" teased Eric.

"Warner Bros. is paying me five hundred thousand dollars for this cameo," moaned Johnson.

"Enough of this!" screamed Nyhth, as he went on the platform where the toons were. "Shield us!"

The toons saw giant glass being wrapped around the battle arena.

"What are you going to do to us?" Lola asked Nyhth.

"Not to us," Nyhth answered. "Them!" He turned his face to the control box which was operated by Neo soldiers. He nodded to them.

Eric and Clive were the only ones left on the platform.

"What does Eric think is going to happen?" asked Clive. "The trap doors are closing and Nyhth and the toons are protected by glass."

Eric looked up and saw a wave of grey gas coming towards them. "I think we're doing a scene from the Bond movie, Goldeneye."

"Eric means the scene where Boris Grishenko gets frozen by a wave of liquid nitrogen?"

"That's the one."

"What are Clive and Eric going to do?"

"I don't know," replied Eric, still looking at the wave coming towards them.

They couldn't hear the toons shouting to them. "Run! Get away! Save yourselves!" they yelled.

"Save your breaths," Nyhth told them. "You're going to need them later."

All they could do was watch Eric and Clive get covered up by liquid nitrogen, if they were brave enough to watch.

Nyhth checked his watch.

"Okay, stop," he said into his microphone. "Fudd, Sam, bring the frozen bodies to me."

The toons opened their eyes to see Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam, wearing tight gas suits, walked into the battle arena and went into the gas.

"There ain't no smarty-pants wizard or dat-gum alien in here!" moaned Sam.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Nyhth.

"He's wight, sir," reported Elmer.

"Operator, vent the gas!" Nyhth yelled in his microphone.

The gas was vented and no one could see a trace of Eric or Clive.

"Where are they?" yelled Nyhth.
