"How did Eric get us out of that station?" asked Clive. "Eric said he couldn't use his magic powers up there."

"Well, I don't know," said Eric. "Maybe I – "

"Was Eric leaving it to the last minute to give the readers a tense and excited moment?" asked Clive.

"Something like that," confessed Eric. "But I haven't forgotten our friends up there. Once we make it to Nymther's throne room, we'll defeat him and save everyone in here, everyone up in the sky and everyone on this planet. And maybe even the whole universe."

"Good plan," said Clive. Then she looked around. "Where is this place?"

"I'd say we're at the giant gates of Nymther's kingdom," replied Eric, "the crown jewel of the Acme Underworld."

They were standing in front of the giant metal gates in a dark environment. They walked to them. Then Clive suddenly stopped and shivered.

"You all right, Clive?" asked Eric.

"C-C-C-Cobra S-S-S-Snake!" yelled Clive.

Eric turned around to find nothing. "I see no snakes," he said. He turned back to the big gates only to see a huge cartoon cobra in front of him! There was a whole line of cobra snakes coming towards him.

Clive was backing away from another group of cobras. She had no weapons to defend herself from them.

Eric pushed his hand out and the cobras were pushed away, but more cobras kept coming towards the two. Then the wizard's left foot trod on something. He hoped it wasn't a snake, which thankfully it wasn't. It was a wooden stick. He picked it up in his right hand and closed his eyes. He opened them and he now held in his right hand a huge wooden staff! He pointed his staff at all the snakes and they all vanished into darkness.

"Where did Eric get the staff?" asked Clive.

"I made it myself," replied Eric. He touched the top of his staff and a light came out. He shone it onto the darkness and there stood the queen of the cobras.

"The Cobra Queen!" cried Clive.

"Well, well, well," smiled the Cobra Queen. "You two did very well with defeating my cobras, but that won't get you through the gates."

Eric began talking in some sort of strange language. It made the Cobra Queen cower to the ground.

"Parseltongue!" cried Clive. "The snake language from Harry Potter."

"No one threatens Her Majesty!" cried the Cave Guy, knocking Clive down. The alien glared at the monster and then she looked down to see some rope in front of her.

The Cave Guy ran for Eric, but the rope was tied around his legs. The monster fell down and he saw Clive wrapping rope around his body. "And no one threatens Clive's partner!" she snapped. Then she turned around and above her stood Candle Jack!

"Eric, Clive needs pie!" Clive shouted. Then her hands, now wearing oven gloves, were holding a nice, steaming, delicious pie. "Um… bad guy wants pie?" she said to Candle Jack.

"Yes, I do!" cried Candle Jack.

"Then go get it!" Clive threw the pie into darkness and Candle Jack followed. Then – CLANG! Clive picked up the candle the supernatural being had dropped and used it to walk into the darkness and saw him in a cage.

Meanwhile, Eric was still speaking Parseltongue to the Cobra Queen.

"All right! I'll do it!" she snapped. "Just stop!"

Eric stopped. The Cobra Queen got up and she went to the control pad. She typed in the numbers and the gates started to open.

The first one to greet Eric and Clive was Longhorn who charged for them. The heroic duo moved aside and the bull kept running until his horns got stuck on a wooden plank on the rocky wall. He tried to pull himself free, but he couldn't.

"What's going on?" shouted the Lobe, as he came through the door. Then he saw all of his allies defeated. "Who's the cause of all of this?"

"Us," smiled Eric, as he wriggled his finger and the Lobe was wrapped around in rope and tape around his mouth. "See if you can out of that, genius!"

Clive tied up the Cobra Queen in ropes. Eric went to her and put his hands on the ropes. The Queen was now in chains. "Try to get your snakes to chew you of this, Your Majesty," the wizard smiled. Then he turned to his alien friend. "Let's go, Clive."

"Eric, why are these Freakazoid villains in this Looney Tunes story?" asked Clive.

"I suppose it's just because Freakazoid was created by the people who made Tiny Toons and Animaniacs," replied Eric.

Eric and Clive went through the doors.

"They can't have escaped!" Nyhth yelled at everyone on EWE. "We all made sure that this sky station was impossible for him to escape, didn't we?

"Yes, sir," said Field Marshall Jengheng. "We are all wearing ours M.I.P.s."

They all showed Nyhth their M.I.P.s. The demigod grabbed Jengheng's and studied it. "These are not the M.I.P.s!" he shouted. "These are cardboard-made lookalikes! Who did this?"

He looked at the Neos. They seem as puzzled as he was. Then he turned to the prisoners who were all chained up.

"I have all the Looney Tunes and Tiny Toons chained up, haven't I?" said Nyhth. Then he realised he had two toons working for him. He looked ahead to see Elmer and Sam near the RELEASE THE PRISONERS button.

"Fudd! Sam!" shouted Nyhth. "Neos, seize them!"

Elmer and Sam were caught by two soldiers each.

"Hey, get yar no-good mitts off me!" shouted Sam.

"Be vewy cawefuw!" shouted Elmer.

"Where did you two get the courage to face me?" shouted Nyhth.

The two looked behind them. Nyhth looked ahead to see the Major pressing the RELEASE THE PRISONERS button. The toons were free, but also very confused as the Neos.

"Major, what have you done?" shouted Jengheng.

"Accomplishing my mission," said the Major.

"What mission?" asked Bugs.

"The mission Eric gave me!" replied the Major.

"You joining the wizard who blew up our planet?" asked Jengheng.

"Eric did not blow up yer planet," snapped Bugs. "I were dere! He saved all de people and helped dem escape, while ya just let Nymther destroy it!"

"How dare you accuse Nymther in front of Nyhth!" shouted Jengheng.

"You still speak fondly of the wizard who's was responsible for kicking you out of our movie studio?" asked Sylvester.

"Well, I'm still a little mad," said Bugs, "but he's still on our side."

Jengheng turned to the Neo Army. "As for you pathetic lowlifes, once you guys are pushing up daises along with these toons, I'll be having my own planet. No, my own galaxy while Nymther is the ruler of the entire universe."

Then he saw he was greeted by guns held by Neos, Elmer and Sam.

"De only think yer ever gonna have is shackles around yer hands," said Bugs, putting them on Jengheng.

"So what about all that chasing me and my pals?" Buster asked the Major.

"We were putting on an act," replied the Major. "We spotted you but Eric and his friends didn't have all the Orbs so we had to buy them time and fool Nyhth and Nymuch."

"Well, I sure as the Acme Underworld will not, I repeat, not be fooled by you pathetic, useless and unfunny toons ever again!" shouted Nyhth.

The Neos aimed their guns at Nyhth, but the demigod, with his big, powerful mouth, just blew them away. He gave chase to the toons.

"Oh, aren't you a pretty witty mermary wormary?" smiled Elmyra.

She was looking at an angry Dia who was wearing a baby hat and had a pacifier in her mouth. She spat it out.

"Hey, Elmyra," she said. "You see these chains around my hands? Do you think they look cute on me?"

"No."
"If you use those keys in your hand to free me," Dia went on, "I might look prettier."

The confused puppets were watching her. "What is she doing?" asked Danny.

"Shush!" whispered Shou Off. "She knows what she's doing."

Elmyra freed Dia, who took the baby hat off.

"Thanks, El," smiled Dia. "Hey, I bet you're tired and exhausted from looking after me, aren't you?"

"I sure am," Elmyra yawned.

"Then why don't you take my rock here?"

"Okay." Elmyra sat down.

Then Dia hoped to the little girl's ears and quietly hummed Old MacDonald Had a Farm causing her to sleep. Then she put the chains on her.

Then the mermaid put her jetpack on, picked up the keys and freed the puppets. "All right, guys, let's go," she said.

"What about the old toons?" Choc asked.

Dia looked at the chains around the old toons and saw there was no keyhole. Then Danny wasted no time freeing them with his axe.

"Mind giving me and my Honey a ride, horsey?" asked Bosko, as he and Honey jumped onto Sweet Corn.

"Got room for one more?" asked Beans the cat, as he got on.

"No more room," croaked Sweet Corn, as he slowly walked carrying the heavy weight of Bosko, Honey and Beans the cat. "This horsey is a fully packed-up horse."

"What about us?" asked Foxy. Then he, Roxy and Goopy were all picked up. They were riding on Shou Off's back as the dragon was flying in the air.

"All right, everyone, follow me," Dia whispered. The toons and the puppets followed the hovering mermaid away.

Then Nymther came back in the room. He was shocked to see that all the prisoners have escaped and the guard was asleep in chains. The god growled angrily. "Elmyra!" he screamed.

Elmyra woke up.

"Where are the prisoners?" Nymther roared.

"I don't know," Elmyra said. "They escaped."

Nymther sighed and marched off.

"Hey, what about me?" asked Elmyra. "How am I gonna get food and water if no one feeds me? Wait a minute. That makes me the pet. I don't wanna be the pet!"

Chip was only a mile away from Iguaza Falls. The talking ship muffled talked behind the tape around his mouth. Zack was still unconscious.

"Well, it's been a very exciting trip," said Nymuch, "but I'm afraid you two will have to continue without me. I have a business meeting to attend to with my dad."

He started to walk away, but then he bumped into Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner.

"Bored, already?" said Yakko. "Why, you haven't seen the best part of this tour yet."

"Who are you guys?" asked Nymuch.

"We're the Warner Brothers!" cried Yakko and Wakko.

"And the Warner Sister!" added Dot.

"Oh, really?" said Nymuch. "And what is the best part of this trip?"

"This really cute branch," said Dot, holding a branch that can from the trees. She waved it on Nymuch's face and he screamed. He took the prickly balls off his face.

"No, it's this really big rock here!" exclaimed Wakko. He held a big rock up above him and he slammed it on Nymuch's head.

"No, it's this nice, strong rope of ivy!" Yakko said proudly. Then he wrapped the demigod in it.

"Hey, guys," said Zack, who had woken up earlier and had watched their actions. "I'm really pleased to see you guys, but we have about twenty seconds maximum before we go over. And don't forget to save this ship."
"All taken care of, Zacko," smiled Yakko. He whistled.

About three dozen grapple hooks were hooked on Chip's bow and the ship was dragged away.

Zack saw the hooks came from four more carrack ships the size of Chip.

Yakko and Wakko took the rope off Zack so quickly that he span around like Taz. "Thanks, guys," their friend said.

Dot pulled the tape off Chip's mouth. The ship gasped for air. Then he saw the other ships. "Hey, it's my family, Zack!" he cried.

Zack looked at the other ships. "I do see the resemblance. And I see the names – your dad, Sir, you mum Madam, your siblings Cool Dude and Hot Boat. And, for some time-travel reason I'm presuming, the Histeria! gang are there."

He wasn't wrong. Father Time and his Histeria! crew were on Chip's family.

"Oh, son, you're alive!" Madam shrieked very happily.

"I see you've been a very busy ship," said Sir.

"It's been so long!" smiled Chip. "I'm very pleased to meet all of you, except you bro and sis – "

Cool Dude and Hot Boat acted like they didn't give a flag.

" – but how did you guys get here?" finished Chip.

"I'm freaking out!" Zack knew that voice. Then the door that led to the galley opened and Freakazoid came out.

"Boy, is it hot in there?" shouted the superhero. "This ship needs some sort of air conditioner in there." Then he saw his best friend. "Zack!" He ran to him, picked him up and hugged him. "Where have you been, buddy?"

"I've missed you, too, Freaky!" squeaked Zack.

"What about us?"

When he was dropped, Zack saw all his Animaniacs friends coming to him and greeting him.

"Where have you been, Zack?" asked Skippy Squirrel.

"Long story, Skip," said Zack. "I'll tell you later." Then he saw Skippy's aunt Slappy. "Here for a new cameo, Skippy?"

"Nah, the studios promised me ten thousand dollars more if I get a bigger part in this second part of the story," moaned Slappy. "Besides, this world needs a little old fashioned cartoon violence, not these cartoons they show these days."

"Where have you been, Mr. Nice Cop?" asked Marita.

"We haven't seen you pass our house for quite a while," said Flavio.

"Been on some sort of special mission," replied Zack.

"Where have you been, Mr. Policeman?" asked Mindy.

"Been on a mission, Mindy," replied Zack.

"Why?" asked Mindy.

"Because the world is in danger."

"Why?"

"Because some evil god is taking over the world."

"Why?"
"Because he doesn't like anyone having freedom."
"Why?" Then her dog Buttons picked her up. "Okay, I love you. Bye-bye!"

"I've missed you, too, pal," said Zack, patting Buttons on the head. Then the dog took Mindy away.

Runt the dog jumped on Zack and licked him. "Hey, have you missed me, Zack? I've missed you. Yep, definitely missed you."

"Is the rent too expensive, Zack?" said Rita the cat.

"No, it's not that," said Zack. "Remember all those stories I told you about my mermaid girlfriend – "

"Hey, what about us?" shouted Pesto. He, Squit and Bobby were in a birdcage. "Can't you see us?"

"Yes, I can," said Zack. "I'll free you guys in a minute."

Then Zack noticed a cartoon chicken dressed in a sailor suit. "Ah, Chicken Boo," he said.

The chicken started to walk away, now his true identity was discovered.

"Hold on, mate," said Zack, grabbing Boo's wing. "I'm not going to kick you off my ship just because you're a chicken. Please to have you with us." Chicken Boo moved on.

Then Zack bumped into the Mime, who was pulling invisible ropes to sails. "Keep up the good work, mate," Zack smiled, patting him off the back and walking on. That pat made the Mime let go the 'ropes' and a real sail fell on him.

Then he bumped into Mr. Skullhead. "Sorry, mate," he said. Then he saw him wearing a life jacket. "Wearing a life jacket in this blustering wind?" said Zack. "Good idea."

Then Mr. Skullhead didn't have his life jacket on and he was flying a kite. "Flying a kite in this blustering wind?" said Zack. Then Mr. Skullhead was blown off into the sky and was zapped by thunder. "A very bad idea!" Zack declared.

Then Chip's captain went to the helm. "Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?" he cried to everyone.

Freakazoid, the Animaniacs and the Histeria! gang gave him his attention.

"Thank you," said Zack. "Now can someone please tell me how you guys got here?" Then he bumped into another man. "Sorry, mate." He turned back around and then he turned back to see the man was a live action man with a scruffy beard.

"Who are you, mate?" Zack asked.

"Be slow with him, mate," said Nell's voice. "That Martin Freeman looking fella's from Renaissance Irleand. He doesn't speak modern English."

Zack turned around. "Nell?"

Then Nell the flying dolphin flew down to Zack. "Hi, Zack. Guess I have some explaining to do, huh?"

"A lot, actually," said Zack. "And make it quick as you can."

"Well…"

After Nell flew away from the island of Magink, she hadn't flew very far when she heard a noise and turned around to see the Epics now in their true God forms has captured her friends. She knew she had to get help. She got out a flipper-full of purple powder that Eric gave to her in the Deep-Sea Hunger Games. She threw it all over herself and, when the cloud around her cleared, she saw she was on some sort of docks.

Nell turned to face a sign. "'CORK DOCKS, IRELAND, 1588'," she read. "Perfect!"

No one seemed to notice a tiny flying dolphin around the docks. Soon Nell found what was looking for. She saw Chip's family. Sir and Madam were upset.

"Excuse me, Sir, Madam," said Nell. "Why are you upset?"

"Our oldest son has been taken away!" sobbed Madam. "He was taken by pirates."

"I can help you guys get to him," smiled Nell.

"You can?" asked Sir. "How?"

"Well, first of all," said Nell, as she flew around freeing Chip's family from the docks, "I'm gonna need all of you." Then she tied ropes from Sir's mast to Madam's mast. Then she flew to Hot Boat and Cool Dude. "Wherever you like it or not."

"Hey, get this rope off me!" yelled Hot Boat.

"If Chip's a big, strong boat, what does he need us for?" moaned Cool Dude.

All the boats' ropes were wrapped around Sir's mast. Nell went to Sir's helm and she took the whole fleet.

"Hey!" cried a male voice. Nell turned around to see a live-action man with clothes full of clothes and a scruffy beard walking towards her.

"Martin Freeman?" Nell looked at the man. "You must be his great great great great great great great grandfather."

"I am the slave of the Cork Docks master," said the man, "and it is my duty to take all these ships back to – "

Then he and Nell saw a bunch of kids roaming around the ships.

"Hey, buddy, you got any gun powder?" Froggo asked the slave.

The slave took out a gun powder bottle. "Make sure you don't sink the ship with this, kid," he told Froggo as he gave him the bottle. "My master would – "

"Don't worry," said Froggo. "I know all the risks. Everything will be all right." Then he left.

Then Nell and the slave met Aka Pella. "Wow, these ships on the waves are wilder than the biggest rollercoaster in the world!" she cried.

"And that will make you feel even sicker, won't it?" moaned Charity Bazaar. Then she went to Sir's aft side and put her head over to the sea.

Then Loud Kiddington did the same about six feet away, but he made a louder noise. Then he stood up. "GOSH! I REALLY NEEDED THAT!"

"Hey, waiter!" Nell and the slave turned around and saw the World's Oldest Woman sitting on a deckchair. "How about some lemonade with ice?"

"No lemons on this ship, Ma'am," Nell told her. "And no ice."
"Hey, guys," said Toast. "You guys know where the Spa is?"
"These ships are warships, mate," said Nell. Then she thought of something and gave him a whip. "Give this to someone, tell them to do your back and you'll have a great back massage."

"Thanks, doll," said Toast, walking away with the whip.

"Wow, I'm on four famous ships!" roared Pepper Mills. "Oh, can I have your autograph, Captain, please?"

Nell thought Pepper had really lost her marbles this time not even realising the slave was not even a historical celebrity, but the slave signed her autograph book anyway.

Pepper read the signature. "Hey, you're not Captain Jack Sparrow!"

"I'm not even a Captain, young missy," said the slave.
"And these ships aren't the Black Pearl or the Flying Dutchman or any of Sparrow's ships either, Pepper," Nell said.

Pepper walked away.

"Who are all these people?" asked the slave.

"It's the Histeria! gang," replied Nell. She turned around to see Father Time and Big Fat Baby. "Interesting battle coming up, Father Time?"

"Yes, we're going to see the Irish defend themselves from the Spanish Armada," replied Father Time.

The slave put his hand up. "But my master wants these ships – "

"You have a choice, mate," interrupted Nell. "Go back to your cruel master with these ships and get no reward or come with us and you'll be free as a bird."
The slave went to the helm. "To Spanish Armada?"

"YEAH!" shouted Loud.

Chip's family had left Cork and everyone saw the Irish ships fighting the Spanish Armada.

While Miss Information was explaining what happened in the battle as everyone watched, Nell got out some more magic powder and threw it to the ground.

"… so the Irish defended themselves from the Spanish Armada and went to Iguaza Falls…" Then Miss Information stopped as everyone realised where they were.

"How did we get here?" asked Father Time. "And what are we doing here?" Then he turned to the live-action slave. "Where's your flying dolphin friend?"

"She's not my friend!" snapped the slave.

"Nor ours either!" snapped Pesto's voice. They turned around to see the Goodfeathers in the birdcage.

"What are we doing here?" asked Squit.

"Get us outta here!" yelled Bobby.

Then Mindy passed through them, followed by Buttons. They turned around to see the Animaniacs characters appear one by one. The last character to appear was Dexter Douglas.

"Oh, man!" moaned Dexter. "What happened?"

"That's what I wanna know!" snapped Dr. Scratchansniff.

"What happened to us?" asked Rita.

"I don't know, Rita," said Runt. "Definitely don't know."

Everyone asked themselves that question. Then, out of magic, Nell appeared and everyone turned around to see her.

"What are we all doing here, young missy?" asked Hello Nurse.

"Is this some sort of 90s cartoon reunion?" asked Yakko.

"Are we planning to sink all the Disney Cruise Lines?" asked Dot.

"Look starboard," Nell ordered. So they did and they saw Chip and someone they knew.

"It's Zack!" cried Hello Nurse.

"What will we do?" cried Minerva Mink.

"Well, I'm freaking out!" yelled Dexter, turning into Freakazoid.

Everyone was panicking. Then Wakko went to one of Madam's cannons and got inside it. Yakko and Dot followed him.

"What are you doing, Wakko?" asked Yakko.

"Saving my buddy from going over the waterfall," replied Wakko.

"And just how do you think you're gonna do that?" asked his elder brother.

"I was hoping someone cold fire me across."

"No problem," said Nell, lighting the tails of Yakko and Dot with a flaming torch. That caused them to scream and jump of Sir and land on Chip. Nell lit Wakko's cannon, sending him to Chip. He landed next to his siblings.

"That was some ride!" he exclaimed.

"Shh!" whispered Yokko, pointing to Nymuch who was next to Zack.

While the Warners went to take care of Nymuch, Freakazoid addressed the crew. "Okay, Ten-hut!" he cried.

Everyone stood to attention, except Runt. "Ten huts? Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Where are they, huh?"

"Just get in line," whispered an annoyed Rita, dragging him into line.

"What are you guys waiting for?" the superhero went on. "Zack's in danger, so let's grab as many hooks as we can, throw them to Chip and drag them back. Move!"

And everyone went to find ropes with hooks. Then they threw the hooks to Chip and pulled him in.

"And you're much up-to-date, mate," smiled Nell.

"Well, thank you," said Zack. "Each and every one of you. We'll get off back to Burbank, California and I'll try to get your shows back on the air. I'll fall in my knees in front of Spielberg and beg him to…"

"Zack, what about your friends?" asked Hello Nurse.

"You guys are my friends," said Zack.

"She meant your fantasy friends," said Slappy.

"He's met them and their reunion wasn't what he'd hoped it would be," said Nell. Then she turned to Zack. "Don't do this mission for them. Do it for these guys and their fans and the entire planet and universe."

"Why don't you get their fans to help you then?" moaned Zack.

"You can't let your Asperger Syndrome get in your way now of all times!" snapped Scratchansniff.

Zack turned to face him. "My what?"

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with his butt," Yakko pointed out.

"And he's a vegetarian," added Dot.

"And he's not wearing a dome," added Wakko.

"There you go, Doc," said Zack.

"It's true," protested Scratchansniff. "That's why you're behaving odd… in a good way. It's a form of autism."

Zack was so confused.

"Let me try," Hello Nurse said to the doctor. "Autism is just something some people are born with that makes them think more different than most people and difficult to talk and understand, which is probably why you feel better with us toons and wizards and mermaids than live action people."

"This is making me feel good," said Zack.

"But it hasn't stopped you from everything you've done in your life," the nurse went on. "If autism is one whole tree from root to top, Asperger Syndrome is just like one leaf's worth. And that's what you are."

"So, come on, mate," said Rita. "Don't stop here now."

"No, don't stop," agreed Runt. "Definitely don't stop."

Zack turned away and looked ahead out to sea. He couldn't decide what to do.
