"What?" Zack couldn't believe his eyes.
Out of the tunnel shot up a little blue rabbit dressed in a tuxedo. "Help! Help!" he cried.
Behind the rabbit was a giant metal machine that represented a giant mole with a vicious face and sharp claws. It charged for the rabbit, but it was greeted by water. The water was coming out of a hose pipe that was held by Zack. The machine went into sparkles and collapsed to the ground. Some CGI soldiers ran out of the machine. Zack aimed the hose at them. The soldiers dropped their weapons and put their hands up.
"Hi, guys," smiled Zack smugly. "Go back to your leader and tell him that Zack is back!"
The soldiers quickly pressed a button on their left arm and they teleported away like Power Rangers.
Zack turned to the blue bunny. "So, what happened, Buster?"
"The name is Bust," replied the blue rabbit. "James Bust."
Zack didn't buy that. He walked behind the bunny. "So, Mr. Bust, you wouldn't happen to know where Buster Bunny is, would you?" He stripped the tux off and the blue bunny was wearing his red jumper.
"All right, you got me, officer," sighed Buster.
"No, he hasn't!" cried another voice. "Don't worry, Buster! We'll save you!"
Zack and Buster looked up to see Plucky Duck and Hamton Pig in the sky charging for Zack in kung-fu style.
The policeman grabbed the legs of Plucky and Hamton. "And who are you guys suppose to be?" he asked them.
"I'm Chatter and this is my Chinese friend, Gee," Plucky replied.
"I didn't choose that name," explained Hamton. "We're spoofing Rush Hour."
Zack let go of them. "So the main male characters of Tiny Toons are here. Where are your girlfriends?"
The boys gave an I-don't-know look. Then Zack could smell something. He followed it to three rusty upside-down barrels, which were standing on a plank. Zack stamped the other end of the plank, sending the barrels over. They landed next to the boy toons. Out of the barrels appeared the main female characters of Tiny Toons Adventures. They were dressed in Charlie's Angels uniforms.
"Thanks for releasing your odor, Fifi," smiled Zack, walking to them.
"I am, how do you say,sensation de faiblesse," moaned a purple skunk with a French accent.
"Where are we?" asked the pink rabbit in a Jaclyn Smith voice. Then she turned to Zack. "You're going down!"
"Cut it out, Babs," scoffed Zack. "You haven't even got a vocal fold of Jaclyn Smith."
"Isn't the docks, like, supposed to be supervised by highly trained people?" moaned a blonde loon.
The pink rabbit turned to Buster. "Look here, Buster Bunny!" she snapped. "I always said your goofing off would get you into trouble, but this – "
"That wasn't him!" cried Zack. "It was me. And I take it you girls are a squad called Bunny's Angels? Let me guess your identities." He turned to the white loon. "Shirley the Loon." He turned to the skunk. "Fifi La Fume." Then he turned to the pink rabbit. "And last, but not least, Babs Bunny."
The girl toons got out of the barrels. Babs charged for Buster. "All right, Buster! It's time you told everyone what's going on! You've been avoiding us for a very long – "
"Babs, you're still, like, a fair distance away from him," Shirley pointed out.
Babs stopped and saw that she was right. She was moving her legs, but it was like she was on a treadmill. Everyone was confused, but this reminded Zack of his best friend, Eric Epic the sorcerer.
"Maybe I can't do this alone," thought Babs. She turned to her friends. "Maybe if we go together, we can find out what's happening. Come on!"
They ran to Buster, but they were pushed back into thin air as if they had stepped on a mine.
"Any explanation at all, Shirley?" asked Babs.
"There must be, like, an invisible force-field protecting Buster that he has just found," Shirley thought.
"Look!" exclaimed Hamton. Everyone saw that Zack walked behind Buster and lifted his red jumper off. It was revealed that on the blue bunny's stomach was the shape of an orb.
"Just what is so powerful about a tattoo?" asked Babs.
"Well, the fact that it's not a tattoo, but a magic orb and I'm immune to it, in case any of you was wondering," said Zack.
"How are you immune to magic?" asked Plucky.
"I had a friend who taught me about stuff like this and how to avoid it," explained Zack.
"And that's where I'm going," Buster told everyone. "I have to deliver it to a wizard." No one really believed him. "I know you wouldn't buy that, if it didn't even cost a penny, so I posted my latest cartoon on Youtube."
Zack got out his phone and tapped on his Youtube app. He clicked on New and top of the list was Buster's Guide to Stealing.
The other toons gathered around Zack as he tapped on it.
The cartoon started. Buster appeared out of his hole. "Hiya, Toonsters," he greeted. "So you want to know about stealing, do you? Well, here's rule number one: Don't do it! Just be grateful for what you've got. Don't let the new expensive stuff get the better of you. Don't let the look of people who seems to have a lot of better stuff than you take over your mind! And don't let anyone talk you into it!"
Then a green flash appeared next to his hole. Out of the smoke appeared six characters. They looked familiar to the Looney Tunes, only more futuristic.
"Nice time jump, Tech," smiled the male rabbit called Ace Bunny at the coyote.
"Well, if I do say so myself," said Tech E. Coyote, "I think I did excellent for the first test."
"Especially since I don't know why we had to come here in the first place," moaned the duck known as Danger Duck.
"We're here because a wizard from the British Isles will make a big mistake by trying to get rid of his magic, but instead he will release it into the world," said the female bunny called Lexi Bunny. "That's where the magic monsters from our time will come from and we will never defeat them unless we find the secret orb – the Acme Orb."
"Well, we only have thirty minutes to find it and take it before we are forced to return to our time," Tech pointed out.
Rev Runner, the road runner-like creature, spotted Buster next to his hole. He speeded to him. "Hey-kid-you-wouldn't-know-where-the-Acme-Mountain-is-would-you, huh?"
Buster had to take a few seconds to catch what Rev said to him. "Yes, I do," he finally replied. "Follow me, you guys, whoever you guys are."
"We're the Loonatics, kid," Ace told him. "We're from the future and we're in kind of a hurry."
Buster led the Loonatics to the mountain, which was a five-minute hop. They were on a ledge of a hill opposite to it. At the bottom of the mountain, there were CGI soldiers patrolling it. They had a large CGI machine drilling through the feet of the mountain.
"How do we get past them?" asked Ace.
Slam Tasmanian muttered a few words, but the other Loonatics disagree with him.
"The moment you show them your presence, Slam," Lexi said, "they will come on top of you."
"Then we must come on top of them," thought Duck.
"Just how do you suppose we do that, Duck?" asked Ace.
"This!" Duck vanished.
"No!" screamed Ace.
The Loonatics looked down at the CGI soldiers at the bottom and they were getting pushed down. Then Duck was seen lying on the floor both by the Loonatics and the CGI soldiers.
"Whoops! I must have hit my invisible pack by mistake," said a sheepish Duck.
"What-do-we-do-now?" asked Rev. "All-our-covers-have-been-blown!"
"And we have only fifteen minutes left," Tech pointed out.
"What we could distract the soldiers away from the mountain, while one enters it and find the orb," suggested Lexi.
Ace turned to Buster. "Hey, Buster, the legend says if you do this job, you will get the greatest reward of all time."
"The coolest video game ever?"
"Hmm, maybe. But if you do this job, you will save the world and become a hero."
"Okay, I'll do it," Buster said. Then he turned to his 'Toonsters'. "Now, Toonsters, if rule one doesn't work, here's rule number two: Make sure that no one is around where you want to steal. Like these bad guys the Loonatics are clearing away for me."
The Loonatics was busy getting the soldiers to chase them.
"Rule number three: When the coast is clear," Buster went on, waiting for a giant tidal wave to past, "go for it!" The blue bunny jumped down to the ground and entered the mountain where they had been drilling.
Buster grabbed a lighting torch and walked through the mountain.
"Okay, rule number four: Be on the alert for traps," Buster told the Toonsters. "You may never know what may happen."
He stopped and looked like he was groaning. "Oh, I don't feel good," he moaned. "I'm going to – " It looked like he was going to gag, but instead he let a great big burp. "It was a gag after all, get it?" he chuckled. "But even that is unpredictable."
He entered the middle of the mountain and found a shiny white orb on an altar with rocky stairs. He tip-toed over the slates, walked on the steps steadily and slowly and he checked no one was around to see what he was doing. He reached for the orb and then everything went white and everything went clear again.
A confused Buster looked around to see that everything is the same. He looked under his shirt and saw that there was an orb shape on his chest. "Now that's weird," he muttered. "I like weird."
He walked down the stairs and began to walk back out, when the ground was shaking. He turned to see a CGI metal mole machine appearing from the ground.
"Rule number five: If someone does see you, RUN! Or, better, HOP!" Buster jumped into the ground and started running underground. The nose on the machine was a digger drill and was chasing him.
Buster's phone rang. He answered it. "Hello?"
"Buster, tell me you have the orb," Ace said on the other side.
"I do, Ace," said Buster, "and they're chasing me!"
"Tech, can we do something?" asked Ace on the other side.
"Sorry, Ace, we have about ten seconds left," sighed Tech. "When we get back, it will take me a couple of hours at least to get enough power to come back here."
"Sorry, Buster," sighed Ace. "You're on your own now. You must take the orb to the wizard. It's thought to be around near the British Isles. We'll be back whenever we can. But, in the meanwhile, good luck!"
Buster's phone went dead. He focused on his digging his way out. He quickly turned to his Toonsters. "Rule number six: Let no one else know about this!"
Then the cartoon ended.
Zack turned to Plucky and Hamton. "How did you guys become involved in this?"
"Well," began Plucky, "there were those CGI soldiers that were attacking our school and I was the only one brave enough to – "
"Plucky!" warned the other toons.
"Hamton, in your own time," Zack said.
"When is it my time?" asked Hamton. "It's half past four."
"I meant please tell me the story as soon as possible," Zack explained.
Outside the Warner Bros. studios, the place was busier than ever. But if you were to ask anyone who was the busiest, they would say themselves, especially Plucky Duck and Hamton J. Pig.
"Hamton, where's my lemonade?" snapped Plucky. "I ask for one only thing from my personal assistant, while Daffy asks me for a lot of things."
Hamton quickly gave him a glass of lemonade. "Gee, I thought you would be happy," Hamton said. "You're working with your idol, you're his assistant and you're getting in the scenes with him."
"Hamton, my faithful assistant, I am happy," smiled Plucky. "The only thing is that Shirley isn't interested in me anymore! I invite her and introduce her to my new rich apartment but it doesn't interest her! I need a vacation."
"This is only your second day," Hamton told him.
Then below them a large rabbit tunnel passed through. "Keep breathing! Keep breathing!"
"Gee, that sounded like Buster," said Hamton.
"That blue long-eared rodent is trying to steal back his glory? Forget it! It's my turn now!" shouted Plucky. "I've waited for so long and worked so hard for this. Nothing's gonna make me wanna change my mind."
"Hey, Plucky, I've waited two hours for a coffee!" Daffy called from the studio. "I want a word with you in five minutes."
"Oh, dear!" cried a panicking Plucky. "I'm going to be told off. There must be something else we can do to avoid him."
Hamton was already on his bike, following the rabbit tunnel. Plucky, on his bike, overtook him. "I'll lead!" the green duck snapped.
Then they followed it until they came to the docks…
…and Zack knew the rest. Then he turned to the girls. "All right, let's hear the ladies," he said.
"Well…" began Babs.
At the Acme Park, Babs was reading and Shirley was mediating. "Oh, what a loon I am," she chanted.
Babs put her book down. "Oh, our afternoons used to be fun," she moaned.
"Well, we only live, like, once," Shirley said. "So I said we should move on. And we did. Although I do miss Fowlmouth and Plucky trying to compete over me. Now Plucky thinks he's so such a big shot because he's an assistant to the new star of Warner Brothers, Daffy Duck."
Then Fifi came to them. She looked worn out and in a mess. "Bonjour, les filles. Sorry I am late."
"What's happened to you?" asked Babs.
"Oh, I am…" Fifi tried to think of something. "How do you say… Great!"
"Are you sure, like, your new famous and handsome boyfriend hasn't been dancing you so much that you're bruised and hurt?" Shirley asked.
"No, I have finally found my true love," said Fifi. "I am dating le plus célèbre skunk dancer on the planet, Alex Jackson."
"Just because he's a blonde skunk doesn't he's your true love," Babs pointed out.
Fifi got angry. "What do you mean by zat?"
"I just meant by the… blonde bit," Babs said.
"Oh, you got right to tell me about my true love when your relationship with Buster is troubled," snapped Fifi.
"You know what he did!" Babs snapped.
Then they were all in the air and back on the ground, landing on a giant rabbit tunnel.
"Help! Help!" cried a voice.
"Buster?" Babs was surprised. "What's he doing now?"
Shirley put her head on the tunnel. "According to what I can hear under this tunnel, it's a digging machine like digging very fast. It's probably chasing Buster or whoever it is."
"Well, count me out!" snapped Babs. "Nothing is going to make me wanna go after – "
"Ohh, three cute girly curly pets for me to take home to hug and kiss and love you!" cried Elmyra Duff from the other side of the park.
"On the other hand," said Babs, looking at her left hand. "RUN!" She jumped into the tunnel, followed by Fifi and Shirley.
Elmyra tried to jump in, but it was blocked off and she felt her head.
"Oh, I hit a metal pipe," groaned Elmyra.
"…and then we finally came here and we sneakily dressed up as – " Babs stopped when she saw that everyone was asleep. She screamed very loudly, but no one heard it because a cruise horn took over the screaming.
Zack and the guys woke up. They saw the cruise approaching the docks.
"That's the ticket!" Buster exclaimed, walking to it. "I just go on the cruise and get to British Isles and – "
He was caught off by Babs. "You're not going anywhere, mister! Not without me!"
"And just who put you in charge?" snapped Buster.
"Yeah, I agree!" said Plucky, putting on a captain's hat on. "Sailing ships through rough seas are my speciality."
"You can never totally find your way from school to your house!" pointed out Shirley. "My powers will get us there in no time."
"How about givin' a skunk a chance?" snapped Fifi.
Everyone was arguing, until they noticed the only one who wasn't was Hamton. He was just standing there looking at them.
"What?" he asked. "I don't wanna be a leader."
"Then you get to pick one," Buster told him.
"Okay." Hamton looked around and pointed his finger out. He moved it along. "I pick… Sergeant O'Marrows!"
Zack was walking away. Then he stopped suddenly. He turned to face them. "Oh, no," he said modestly. "I couldn't."
"You're a police sergeant, aren't you?" asked Hamton.
"Do you not mess your home country?" asked Fifi.
"I'd say you're so totally have leadership skills just by looking at you," Shirley pointed out.
"All right, here are my qualifications," Zack said, as he got out the papers.
Babs, wearing her glasses and putting on an unemployment agent's suit, took the papers and read them. "Wow!" she exclaimed. "An all A+ student from high school. And what a Harvard man! Degrees from Law School, Business School and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Oh, and it says here that you were part of Harvard's football team and you beat Yale for three years. You're hired!"
"Okay," said Zack, "but I just want you guys to know that I'm not one of those protagonists that pretends to be a hero and later reveals to be a fraud. We're not going to have that kind of story."
The toons nodded, agreeing to that.
"Now let's get on this cruise!" Zack ordered, leading them.
They were walking to the cruise when a hurrying man bumped into Zack.
"Careful, mate," said Zack, as he helped the man up.
"I'm sorry, mate," said the man, looking at Zack.
Zack couldn't believe his eyes. "Are you Johnny Depp?" he asked. "Where are you going?"
"Well," said Johnny Depp. "I was supposed to take a cruise, although I'm not sure which one is which."
Zack looked ahead and saw that there were now two cruises standing there. Both captains were standing out there. They looked very much like Johnny.
"Hi, Mr. Depp," greeted the captains.
"Which cruise are you taking?" asked Zack. "The Disney Cruise Line or the new Warner Bros. cruise?"
"Let me just check my tickets," said Johnny.
The captain of the Disney Cruise wearing a uniform that looks a lot of Johnny's character, Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, walked to Johnny. "Mr. Depp, my ship can offer you cheap food and the most exotic location you can go to, under the command of Captain Jack Sparrow XII, which is me. Savvy?"
"Cheap?" cried the other captain. "On my cruise you get a lot of free food and less strict rules. And I bet that the Warner Bros. Cruise under the command of Captain Mack Burrow, which is Moi, can go even further than Disney can. Suvvy?"
"And what's your name, sonny?" asked Captain Jack. "And where are you planning to go to?"
"My name is Zack O'Marrows," replied Zack. Then he turned to Johnny. "I was born before your Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Johnny, so don't think I got the name from you."
Johnny sighed. "Why is it always Captain Jack Sparrow? Am I being type-casted?"
"No, you're not," said Buster, who has dressed up like Edward Scissorhands. He hands even had scissors like Edward. "Meet Buster Scissorhands."
" Prepare to face the wrath of Babsy Todd " sang Babs, dressed as Sweeny Todd.
Johnny sighed. He turned to Fifi. "What?" she asked. "I am, how do you say, gulping grapes."
"What's next?" muttered Johnny. He saw a dark coat walking around with no head and duck feet underneath it.
"Can you see my head?" asked Plucky's voice through the coat.
Johnny then turned to see Shirley dressed in green clothing a green hat. "I am so Peter Pan," Shirley told him.
"I didn't play Peter Pan," Johnny told her. "I played his author in the movie Finding Neverland."
Johnny then turned to Hamton who looked like a man in a suit with scruffy hair. "Who are you suppose to be?" he asked the pig.
"I'm just showing respect to a great movie director, Jim Curtain," Hamton told him.
"More like making fun of one of my best friends," moaned Johnny.
"Come on, guys," Zack called to the toons. "We're getting on the Warner Bros. cruise." The toons came to him. "This one should get us to Europe and then we'll decide what we do from now on then."
"Pleasure you guys could become our new stewards and stewardesses," smiled Captain Mack. "Under the command of our new chief steward, Zack here."
"Come on, guys," said Zack. "We've got a lot of work to do. We are cleaning every room on every deck."
"WHAT?" The toons couldn't believe what they heard, except a happy Hamton who loved cleaning.
Captain Mack walked on the ramp to his ship. Zack turned to the toons. "Sorry, but, A, this is the only cruise going near the British Isles, B, we'll be look less suspicious and, C, this will be fun. It'll be like James Bond or something like that." The horn went off. "Come on, they'll be setting off soon."
Hamton walked first on the ramp, followed by Shirley, Fifi and Plucky. The bunnies were the last, who were looking annoyed at each other.
"Ladies first, Barbara Ann," said Buster.
Babs glared at him as she stomped forward. Zack didn't like seeing his two favourite Tiny Toon characters treating each other like this, but then he thought this was their business and, as long as it didn't interfere with the mission, it would be best not to interfere it.
Then the cruise sailed off into the sunset.
