A lone shuttle traveled through space, invisible to the naked or clothed eye, and traveling solely on autopilot.

Inside the shuttle, Bugs sighed for the millionth time that day. Daffy was at it again, annoying everyone using his high-pitched voice accompanied by a lisp.

On the bright side, since the shuttle was cramped and small, all three assassins were in each other's line of sight. If anyone was indeed a traitor and tried something funny like contacting the Martian, the rest would instantly see it.

'Let me tell you guys a joke,' he said, 'Once there were two entities. Life and Death,'

The best defense was ignorance, so Bugs and Fudd kept their mouth's shut.

'So one day Life goes to this tree – although he was specifically told not to – and plucked some apples. One, two, three, four…all the way to ten. Naughty little boy, eh?'

The two other hitmen remained silent.

'So Life has ten apples, so he's walking around Super Powerful God World, boasting about how many apples he has. Then along comes Death.'

'Now Death, you see, was very hungry. So he approached Life and asked for an apple. Just one apple, he just needed a snack.'

'So the joke, or riddle, is, what happens if Death asks Life for one apple? What do you think will happen, eh?'

Bugs and Fudd remained stony faced, although Fudd looked a bit under the weather.

'Ah well,' Daffy didn't seem discouraged. 'If you're being so strung up about it, I won't tell you the answer!'

Fudd was looking more and more uncomfortable for some reason, and he suddenly took out a bottle of pills. The same pills Bugs had seen him take before the brawl with Tom and Jerry had started.

As Fudd downed the pills, Bugs noticed that color had returned to his cheeks. Clearly Fudd was suffering from a pill addiction of some kind.

Daffy saw it too. 'Let me tell you another joke. What's the similarity with pills and mothers? Elmer Fudd depend on them both.'

Bugs saw that a conflict could quickly escalate. Which was why he leaned forward and pinched a fleshy area on Daffy's neck. The duck slumped down unconscious.

'Thanks for the nerve pinch, wabbit,' Fudd commented. 'He was about to drive me crazy.'

Bugs frowned. Fudd actually thanking him? Fudd was definitely up to something.

Silence reigned over the shuttle.

'Hey, I just realized something,' Fudd said, 'Won't Mars detect us anyway with their radar thingies?'

'Nope,' Bugs reined in another sigh and gestured to the wall. 'There's a switch here that renders it invisible to radars and other de – '

Bugs stopped in mid sentence. The all powerful switch which rendered the shuttle invisible to radars was in the off position.

Fudd swore violently.

'It was in the on position when I came in,' said Bugs in a bemused voice. The shuttle was already within range of Mars's radar, and had probably already been detected. There was nothing for it.

Bugs flipped the invisible-to-radar switch to the on position(just in case) and gunned the throttle forward. All three hitmen were pushed back into their seats as the shuttle sped forward.

On Mars, a small black skinned creature wearing a white robe scurried to the temple. Making his way past the robotic guards, the creature knocked on the double doors of the throne room.

'Come in,' Marvin the Martian boomed.

'Sir,' the smaller Martian said. 'Our radars have detected a shuttle coming towards our planet. Closer observation reveals that this shuttle has come from Looney World.'

There was a dreadful silence.

'And right now the shuttle is coming here at full speed. They will land in about one minute.'

Marvin spoke. 'How many lifeforms are on board?'

'We detected four separate heartbeats, sir.'

'Four, eh?' Marvin remained silent for a while, then reached for the video screen by his throne.

The three hitmen landed on Mars.

Daffy slowly woke up and looked around at his red surroundings. 'Looks like we're here,' he said cheerfully..

'We all are,' Fudd replied. 'Some bastard offed the detection system, so Marvin the Martian knows we're here, so we better get moving.'

Together they ran towards the palace, where Marvin obviously was. The robot guards they encountered were easily taken care of by Bug's Eagles, Fudd's shotgun and Daffy's minigun(which really was mini).

They ventured inside the palace and emerged into a giant hallway. Now this was becoming literally a maze. In the hallway, there were various passageways trapdoors, and staircases leading in different directions. What this place really needed was a friendly map.

Unfortunately, there was none. Bugs turned to the others. 'Looks like this is where we split up.'

The others nodded, and set off in different directions.

Porky sat back in his chair, brooding. He had questioned his advisors and found airtight alibis. So now it was confirmed now that either Bugs or Fudd was a traitor.

A Mutt knocked on the door of the Global Mayor's office.

'What is it,' Porky barked, in a foul mood for obvious reasons.

The Mutt entered without asking permission. 'Sir, the weather forecast just came in. It's going to rain acid rain. Ph 0.1, it'll dissolve absolutely anything, sir. I advise warning the public immediately.'

'Obviously I would do that!' Porky snapped. 'I've been doing that every damn time! Now get lost!'

The dim-witted Mutt left. Porky immediately tapped a few buttons on his video screen and issued a real time video message to the local television stations, notifying them of the impending acid rain.

Porky's office itself was safe. The entire building was surrounded by a giant force field, which was replenished every day. Needless to say, the force field was pretty dang useful.

Suddenly the video screen burst into life. Marvin the Martian appeared on the screen.

'It's not the d-d-d-d-deadline yet,' Porky protested when he saw the Martian's angry face.

'I am aware of that. However, the fact that three of your assassins have landed on my planet trying to kill me accelerates things.'

Porky swallowed. The traitor had struck again, how he did not know.

'I am giving you one last chance. Call off your assassins and disarm all your missiles. In one minute. Or else…you know what will happen.'

The screen went blank.

Porky considered his options.

This was it, then. The Ultimatum. War or peaceful takeover by the Martians.

Porky decided it had to be war.

He had one chance. The Martian was anticipating his response, but Porky would surprise him by launching his missiles without any warning.

There was just one problem. His three assassins were on Mars. Should he warn them and tell them to get the hell out of there?

No. He already knew for sure one was a traitor. If he alerted the traitor, he would lose the element of surprise. Looked like Bugs and Fudd would just have to be another sacrifice.

He should warn Daffy though, that guy was safe. Porky dialed Daffy's phone, got no answer, and decided he couldn't wait.

Porky then opened the casing of his PANIC button, and, wasting no time in being dramatic, pushed the button.

The missiles were launched. In ten minutes, they would reach Mars. Porky sat back in his chair with deep regrets. Once the missiles reached Mars, Mars would retaliate. And that would lead to the bloodiest conflict Looney World had ever known.

Daffy Dodgers had turned off his cell phone, so as to avoid it ringing at inappropriate moments. He progressed deeper into the palace, talking to himself as he observed the maze-like structure.

Suddenly he saw a sign saying, 'THRONE ROOM'. Well, that was surprisingly easy. Daffy followed the sign and peered down the corridor.

There, in a big hallway, was the Martian. His golden back was turned towards Daffy, and he appeared to be staring at a computer screen.

He had just one chance. Daffy switched his minigun to grenade mode and aimed it at Marvin's head.

'What do you get when you fire a gun?' Daffy sniggered to himself as he pulled the trigger. 'Two people will go to Hell.'

NOTE: Thanks for the reviews!
