"We've been walking for miles and miles," moaned Eric, as he and Clive walked through a path through the red rocks.
"Clive thinks there's some sort of trick going on," said Clive.
"Or maybe there must be like a secret door somewhere in the room," suggested a cartoon man wearing a military suit.
Eric thought his head was too small for his body.
"Why are you telling us that, Brain?" asked Eric.
"Who?" said the man. "My name is General Buddy…"
"Boots?" Eric and Clive heard that squeaky voice come from the man's body.
"No, Pinky!" snapped the man.
"Well, General Buddy Boots No Pinky," said Eric. "This is supposed to be your idea of taking over the world – by taking over this underworld?"
"No, I am just a military general trying to save the world from all this evil," said the man.
"So people will worship you for that?" Eric lifted his hand up and the Brain's head and body was out of his cartoon body model. Clive ripped the suit off and found the Brain's associate Pinky. Soon both lab mice were hanging in the air. They were trapped in a lab mice cage that was smaller than the one from Acme Labs. There was so little room and no door for them to escape.
"Sorry, Brain," said Eric, "but the world shouldn't be ruled by anyone; no matter how clever or popular or good your intentions are. Then he managed to fit the small cage into his pocket.
"Oh, it's so dark and gloomy, Brain!" cried Pinky.
"Cage it, Pinky!" yelled the Brain.
"'Cage it'," laughed Pinky. "That's a good one, Brain!"
"That wasn't a joke!" snapped Brain. "And get off me!"
"Let's sit on that rock and think," said Clive. So she and Eric did. Then the rock slumped down and the duo fell backwards and into darkness.
"Clive, are you there?" Eric asked. It was all total darkness and absolute quiet. "Clive?"
Then the lights shone on him. Then more lights shone everywhere. After Eric put his hand over his eyes, he could just see through the shining brightness. He saw he was on some sort of grass and all around it was nothing but grey rocks and a soccer net.
Then something hit Eric's face. He saw a soccer ball roll away from him and towards Roderick Rat, Danforth Drake and other Perfecto Prep players.
"I suppose I have to play soccer with you guys to get through to the next stage," said Eric.
"Correct, Epic," said Roddy. "You also have to beat us."
"Which you're not gonna do," added Danforth.
"Why, what sort of cheats you got this time?" asked Eric.
"No cheats, this time."
The Perfecto Prep moved aside to reveal a live-action soccer player who was wearing live action Perfecto Prep soccer clothes.
"Benedict Cumberbatch?" Eric scoffed.
"It's David Beckham," said the soccer player. "Mr. or Captain Beckham to you!"
"This is your soccer coach?" Eric asked.
"Like I said," said Beckham, "no cheats; just hard work. Now take yourself to that goalpost over there."
Eric looked at the goalpost. "But there's only me and one goalpost vs the school with the biggest cheaters ever and Mr. Who-Thinks-Soccer-Revolves-Around-Him…"
"And don't think your own magic powers will save you," said Danforth.
"Right, let's play!" yelled Beckham.
Eric quickly ran to the soccer net. He quickly noticed he didn't have his staff in his hand.
He saw Beckham running with the ball. The soccer player kicked the ball to Eric's goalpost, but Eric caught it with his hands. The sorcerer kicked it over the Perfecto Prep players, except the elephant who whacked it back with a tennis racket.
Eric hung onto the post like a monkey and used both feet to send the ball back.
Roddy caught the ball and kicked it back to Eric, who use karate moves to defend his goalpost.
"Beckham, it's time," said Roddy.
Beckham got out a remote and pressed it. Soon everyone and the goalpost were floating in the air.
"What is this, anti-gravity soccer?" asked Eric.
Then Roddy kicked the ball and it went into the goalpost.
"See? Now that's cheating," Eric said to the audience.
Then another ball was shot.
No mallet, no dynamite, no tar, no anvil and none of Sneezer's sneezes could stop Nyhth chasing them through the sky station.
"Let's spilt up!" ordered Bugs.
"Okay!" the toons said.
Nyhth saw them split up and vanish without a trace. He walked casually.
"All right, you no-good losers," said Nyhth. "I've got my eye out for you."
"You haven't because we're hiding!" shouted Daffy.
"Shh!" yelled the other toons.
"I meant I'm on the alert for you," explained Nyhth.
In front of him, there was some green rope lying at the bottom. It was between two columns and at each one half of the Tiny Toons held an end.
"Okay, here he comes!" cried Plucky.
"Shh!" whispered Buster. "Not yet, Duck!"
Nyhth came closer and closer to them.
"Steady, guys," whispered Buster. "Steady…"
Nyhth was just a step away from the rope.
"Now!" shouted Buster.
The Tiny Toons pulled the rope up but then they were dragged towards Nyhth.
"Did you tiny fools think I'm stupid enough to fall for that old trick?" asked the demigod.
"RUN!" cried Plucky.
And the tiny toons did. But Fifi fell down from a little bump on the floor.
Nyhth hit the columns as he passed them. One of them began to fall down and it was heading for Fifi!
The purple skunk shut her eyes. Then she felt like she was pushed away and she didn't get crushed by the columns. She woke up and found that she was well away from the column, but sadly it couldn't be said the same for –
"Hamton!" cried Fifi. She ran to him and tried to push the column away, but it was too big. "Hamton? Can you hear me? Hamton?"
The little pig was unconscious.
"No," sobbed Fifi. "Le boo! Le boo hoo hoo hoo!"
Clive groaned as she woke up. She could see nothing except darkness. She reached for her pocket and got something out that shone very brightly. Then Clive moved backwards and the light went dimmer.
"Hah! Fooled the audience!" she said to the audience. "It's only the flashlights from the keys from the landspeeder Clive used to own before she got framed."
She used it around the room and found a light switch. She turned it on. The lights were turned on and the room was revealed to be a control booth with a chair and a desk with a movie editing system.
Clive looked through the window and looked down to find Eric trying to stop David Beckham and Perfecto Prep scoring a goal into the net. Then she looked down at the controls.
"Piece of cake!" Clive smiled. "No easier than that. A crumb of biscuit."
She sat on the chair and started to meddle with the controls, but then her legs were all manacled and so were her arms. The chair turned around on its own. She saw the female Perfecto Prep students in front of her.
"Rhubella Rat. Margot Mallard. Giselle. Unnamed hippo. How are female Perfectos gonna beat Clive the poor alien up?"
"By singing in your ears," replied Rhubella.
"Four snotty selfish spoiled teenage brats singing in Clive's ears," scoffed Clive. "What could be worse?"
Then footsteps in the background could be heard. The Perfecto students turned around.
"You're late!" snapped Rhubella.
"Well, I apologize for making sure my singing was perfecto!" snapped a woman who came out of the darkness.
"Oh, great!" moaned Clive. "Mila Kunis as Victoria Beckham. What are the girls gonna sing – a Spice Girls song?"
"Yo, I'll tell you what I want what I really really want," sang Victoria Beckham.
"So, tell me what you want what you really really want," sang Rhubella.
"I'll tell you what I want what I really really want," sang the hippo.
"So, tell me what you want what you really really want," sang Giselle.
"I wanna, huh, I wanna, huh, I wanna, huh, I wanna, I wanna really really really wanna zig a zig ah," sang Margot.
Clive couldn't escape the chair or the Perfectos' non-perfect version of Wannabe.
The alarms were wailing by the time Dia and her friends reached the hallway. They took a breather.
"We can't keep this up forever," panted Danny.
"We need a place to hide," panted Roxy.
"You're right," agreed Dia. "And here is the perfect place."
The puppets and the toons saw behind Dia was a sign that said 'TREASURY'. They all went into the treasury room where was all full of red-gold coins, sticks, plates, and rings.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" shouted a voice. Dia quickly picked up some coins and turned around to see Montana Max who was sitting at a table.
"I was way behind my taxes," said Dia, showing Monty the coins, "but I think I've caught up."
"Well, pay up!" shouted Monty.
"Guys, pick up any bits of treasure," Dia whispered to her friends. Then she hovered to Monty's desk and dropped the coins.
"Next!" shouted Monty.
One by one, the toons and the puppets dropped coins on Monty's desk and moved to Dia.
The last one to pay up was Trolley who dropped something on Monty's desk that wasn't coins.
"What's this?" asked Monty. "A golden brush?"
"Dia told me…"
Then Trolley saw Dia putting her finger on her lips.
Then she, the toons and the puppets each held up a sign for Trolley, which he read, "…that… this… golden brush… is… worth… about… one… hundred… bucks."
"Is that so?" Monty pondered. "Okay, get out now."
Trolley left.
"Drool brain," laughed Monty.
"Who is?"
Monty looked up to see Nymther staring angry at him. "Who's the drool brain? The troll who's just escaped through that door with his friends…" The god pointed to an open door that was on the left. "…or you for letting them go."
"Uh-oh," said Monty.
Nymther picked up the spoiled brat. "Get after them and bring them to me dead or alive or not only will you lose your money, you will lose your life."
"You mean, take my home away?" asked Monty.
"No, I meant putting your body with my coal and firewood soup," replied Nymther. "Now move!"
Monty quickly ran through the door.
Nyhth went through more corridors. Then something hit him. It was an empty bucket. Then he felt like a bag of rocks hit him. He looked up to see it was some of the toons on top of a balcony who were throwing things at him.
The demigod just scoffed, walked under the balcony and, with all his strength, knocked the pillar holding it. He walked away.
The balcony started to rumble and started to head down. All the toons cleared, except Shirley who started to fall down with the balcony. Then her wings were picked by a green wing. She looked up to see it was Plucky who was grabbed her with one wing and with the other was holding some rope. Then he spun around upwards and placed her on the edge. Then the rope snapped and Plucky joined the falling balcony.
"Plucky!" cried Shirley. She hovered down to the rumble where Plucky was laying unconscious. "Like, don't leave me, Plucky!" she sobbed.
"Come back here, all of you!" yelled Monty as he chased Dia and her friends.
Dia and her friends ran as fast as they could to get away from the spoiled brat, but they were out of breath.
"Hey, check it out!" cried Bosko.
They all looked to see they were on the edge of the cliff and next to it was a red steel track. Then a mine train rollercoaster came and stopped.
"All aboard!" cried Dia as she got into the engine, while the toons and puppets got into the mine carts.
"Ha, gotcha!" yelled Monty as he ran for them.
Dia meddled with the controls and the rollercoaster took off, leaving the little brat behind.
Monty growled. Then he had an idea. He whistled with his fingers and on the track came a green tank without the caterpillar tracks. The wheels were connected to the track. Monty got in the tank gun, put on an army hat and laughed evilly. "They're all cannon fodder now!"
The tank gun moved along the track.
"So where we going, driver?" asked Goopy.
"To get out of this underworld, if we can," Dia replied back.
Sweet Corn sighed comfortably. "Well, I think it's all gonna be a smooth ride from here on – "
Then an explosion hit the wall near them. They all looked behind see Monty in his tank following them. Then the mine train fell down as the track fell down to a sheer drop.
"You were sayin'?" asked Danny.
"I said, 'I'm gonna kick you in the face with my two back legs if you don't shut up!'" snapped Sweet Corn.
"No, that's not what you – " Then his face was all covered in unicorn shoe marks.
Victoria Beckham and the Perfecto Prep choir were still stinging Wannabe.
"Hey, stop, girls," said Victoria. "Stop."
They stopped and saw Clive unconscious in her chair.
"We've done it!" cried Margot.
"That's one poor slob down," said Giselle.
"Let's go check on the boys," said Victoria.
They pushed Clive away and looked through the window. They saw David Beckham and the Perfecto players keeping on scoring and scoring goals, leaving poor Eric to nearly falling flat to the ground.
Then the girls felt their legs getting hit and each were forced to fall down on chairs. They were then manacled into them. Clive stood before them.
The girls were confused.
"But how – "
"How did – "
"You're – "
"This 'poor slob' as Victoria Beckham and the Perfectos puts Clive used her little pin hidden in her shoe - " Clive pulled her shoe up which shot the needle pin like Rosa Kleeb's knife shoe. " – to free her legs from the manacles which Clive was then able to free the manacles from the arms and then get more chairs to trap you all. And now it's the boys' turn."
Clive pushed Victoria and the Perfectos away, went to the control panel and fiddled with the controls.
Back above the soccer field, Eric had already given up. He saw the scoreboard and it said Perfecto Prep 500 – 12 Eric Epic.
Roddy kicked the soccer ball again and then everyone fell down to the ground. Eric saw the ball coming towards him and he stopped it going through. Then he saw his staff in front of his legs. He kicked the ball away and picked it up.
"What are you doing?" asked David Beckham. "You can't use that!"
"You can't use anti-gravity to win a soccer match," said Eric. "But you did anyway, so I'm gonna use this anyway."
Eric aimed his staff at the scoreboard and it now said Perfecto Prep 0 – 24 Eric Epic.
"Now that's so unfair!" screamed David.
"Actually, it is," Eric retorted. "You scored nothing while I saved about twenty four goals… not by cheating of course. And, as for you cheaters…" He aimed his staff at David and the Perfectos. A white glow took over the field and then it fainted. David and the Perfectos were wrapped in soccer nets and were hanging from the soccer net. Victoria and the female Perfectos were there with him.
Then Clive climbed down with rope from the control booth. "Did Clive missed anything?"
"Only a thank you for turning the anti-gravity system and the magic immune system off," smiled Eric. He turned around to see a door opening. "We're only one room behind the throne room."
"Wait!" cried Clive. "Before Clive goes, she has to…"
She snatched Victoria's microphone.
"Slam Ruby's body down," sang Clive, as she slammed on Rhubella's body. "And wind it all around." With her feet, she twisted the rat's body.
She repeated the chorus and did the same treatment to Margot and the other female students.
Eric did the same to Roderick, Danforth and the Perfecto players. Then, at the same time, Eric and Clive did the Beckhams.
"If you wanna be my lover," sang Eric and Clive together. "Not!"
Clive threw the microphone on Victoria's head. Then she and Eric turned around and headed out.
Soon Nyhth hadn't walked far by the time he found Buster.
"I'm here, Buster!" Nyhth shouted.
Buster tried to hop away, but Nyhth was always behind him.
By the time the blue rabbit reached the battle arena, he was out of breath. Then he was covered by the demigod.
"Well, Buster Bunny," smiled Nyhth. "You're quite a legend, aren't you? Trying to be a hero, escaping the wraths of Montana Max and Elmyra Duff and winning the heart of that pink rodent friend of yours. And now trying to stop gods like me and my father and brother from taking back what belongs to us. Well, all I can say is… you've tried."
The demigod got out a mallet. Buster tried to move but he was blocked off by Nyhth and the tight walls near him.
Nyhth lowered the mallet towards Buster. The blue bunny closed his eyes. Then – WHACK! Buster opened his eyes to see he was unharmed. He looked ahead to see some toons fighting Nyhth. Then he looked down.
"Babs!" he cried, running towards her.
He picked the unconscious Babs in his arms. "Babs, can you hear me?"
Babs coughed quietly and barely opened her eyes. "First time you called me that in a long while."
"Babs, why did you do that?" asked Buster. "Was it because you felt like you didn't have enough heroic moments in this story?"
"Yes," said Babs. "It's because I felt like I didn't have – No! It's because I… can't… live without you… and I… I love… love…" Then the cute pink bunny closed her eyes again.
"Come on, Babs," said Buster. "This joke ain't funny."
But Babs didn't open her eyes. Now Buster was really worried. "Babs? Babs?"
The toons tried to hold Nyhth down, but he was too strong and he sent them flying across the room.
Then an explosion came from behind him and he saw a spaceship that has crash-landed here. The ship's door opened and Marvin the Martian came running down the ramp.
Nyhth ran to him, but Marvin fired his bubble gun and the demigod was now imprisoned in a huge big bubble.
"So why have ya decided to come back?" an angry Bugs asked the Martian.
"After I left the exploding planet," said Marvin, "I regretted leaving you and your friends behind so that's why I decided to come back and help."
Everyone just look at him in not-very-impressed way.
"All right," Marvin sighed. "How about I take you all down to Earth in my spaceship?"
"All right," Bugs sighed.
As everyone headed towards Marvin's ship, the whole sky station shook and the ship fell out into thin air. There was a gap where the ship stood. Everyone ran for it, but it was blocked off by metal boxes and staircases.
"What's happenin'?" cried Daffy.
"You think you've won?" said Nyhth through the bubble. "My father controls this station and now he's bringing us to him!"
The toons gasped.
BOOM! BOOM! KA-BOOM!
Monty was still in the tank and still firing at Dia and her friends in the rollercoaster.
"Does this guy ever run outta ammo?" asked Danny.
"Not as far as I can see or remember watching him when I was very young," replied Dia.
"Look!" shouted Honey.
Everyone saw a sign that said 'TRACK'S OUT! BUT NOT THE LIGHTS'.
"Yeah, that's really helpful!" moaned Dia.
Then they saw there were only about a few tracks left.
"Shou Off, can you take us down?" asked Dia.
"Not all in one go," replied Shou Off.
"Well, take everyone… apart from me," Dia ordered.
"WHAT?" The puppets and the toons couldn't believe what they heard.
"You're not the heaviest here," said Foxy.
"It's the fat dwarf here!" laughed Roxy.
"Hey!" snapped Danny. "It's not fat! It's strength!"
"Someone's got to drive Monty off course," said Dia. " And I have the jet-pack, remember? Shou Off, take them now! That's an order!"
Shou Off grabbed everyone, put them on his back and flew off. The trucks were now being shot off and Monty's tank had now caught up with Dia's engine.
"Time to fry you now!" Monty laughed.
Dia turned around and saw the end of the tracks. She turned on her jet-pack, but it was empty. She pressed the ignition button loads of time, but it still wouldn't work.
Then she felt like she was going upwards. She heard Monty screaming. She turned around to see a screaming Monty and his tank falling down towards the ground.
Dia turned around to see she wasn't on the train any more but on a magic carpet. The carpet took her down to the ground where Monty in chains and the puppets and the toons were waiting. As she landed, she saw two more figures waiting for her.
"Clive!" she cried.
"Hey, Dia," smiled Clive.
Then she turned to see the other person. "Eric!"
She jumped up on her wizard friend's body and they embraced.
"I'm so sorry, Eric," she sobbed quietly. "I was so – "
"Shh!" whispered Eric. "I understand. I'm just so happy to see you again."
"Me too," Dia smiled.
"Uh, guys?" said Clive. "Clive hates to interrupt Eric and Dia, but Nymther is coming for us!"
Everyone looking to see Clive was right.
"Run!" yelled Eric. All the toons and the puppets ran with him.
"Hey, what about me?" yelled Monty.
"Time for you to meet your fate, Monty Python," said Dia, as she flew off to join her friends.
Nymther approached Monty. "Does this mean I having a ten percent pay cut?" the brat chuckled nervously.
Eric, Dia and their friends kept running and running until they came to a dead end.
"Anywhere we can go?" asked Bosko.
"No, we're on the highest floor of this underworld," said Shou Off, flying above everyone.
"And we've searched every room there is," added Sweet Corn.
Eric looked at the wall. He pointed his staff at the wall. He closed his eyes and groaned and then he stopped. "This whole place is immune to magic," he sighed.
"But is it to my axe?" Danny walked to the wall and tried to break it down, but his axe got shattered to pieces.
Trolley picked up a giant rock and tried to bash the wall down with it.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Nymther's voice.
Everyone turned around to see the god of evil approaching them. "You all had your fun now. Why don't you give in now?"
"Never!" exclaimed Eric.
"Maybe this will change your mind." Nymther moved out of the way and a little screen on the wall showed the Looney Tunes and the Tiny Toons trapped on the EWE sky station hurling towards Earth in flames.
Eric saw Nymther moving the sticks of a remote with his thumbs. "Let them go!" shouted Eric.
"Surrender your staff, Moran, or your friends will meet their doom!"
Eric sighed and headed towards Nymther.
"Eric, what are you doing?" asked Dia.
"Eric knows even he does surrender his staff, Nymther will never let the toons go," added Clive.
"What choice do I have?" asked Eric. He walked forward, got on his knees and held out the staff. Nymther's hand reached for it and was about to take it.
