Even with the terrible twins out of the mansion, life on the Isle of Epic was like they were still there.

"Eh, I had more pleasant times with Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd than 'ere," Bug moaned, dusting the hallway with his sorcerer friend. "No offence, Eric."

"None taken, Bugs," said Eric. "I actually agree with you. Sam and Elmer would make much better company than Jack."

"ERIC!" shouted the booming voice of Jack Epic.

Eric and Bugs looked down to the ground floor where Jack was waiting.

"What?" Eric shouted.

"My computer has broken down!" shouted Jack. "Go to the computer room and fix it!"
"Since when do you work with computers?" asked Eric.

"Just get over there and do it!" shouted Jack, walking away.

Bugs turned to Eric. "We ain't gonna do it, are we, doc?"

"Not for him," Eric told him.

Eric, Bugs and the servants went to the computer room. It was a small room with a large metal something that looked like a cooling tower with wires being connected to the walls instead of using steam.

"What's so special about this salt pot?" asked Sweet Corn.

"This 'salt pot' is the power supply that powers not only this island, but this entire planet," Eric told him.

Choc surveyed it. "This technology looks like the CGI army's type."

"That's because it is," Eric said. "Ever since they crash-landed to Earth about half a century ago, Jack spared their lives and offered them a place to live, as long as they help him rule the world. Movies, TVs, phones, Internet, Wi-fis, take your pick. Jack bought them and updated them with this power because this stuff is what people love and he thinks it gives him power. Giving us earthlings this technology was obviously the cake."

"Those CGI people gave us cakes?" exclaimed Trolley. "Wow!"

Eric ignored him. "Now, come on, guys. I need some volunteers quickly."

"I'm in," said Bugs, walking to him.

"Count me in," cried Danny walking to him.

"Will you require any means of transport?" offered Shou Off.

"No, they won't, Shou Off," said Eric. "Sweet Corn, do you mind going?"

"Am I a flying horse?" Sweet Corn went up and joined them.

"Doc, you ain't comin' with us wherever dit dis we are goin'?" pondered Bugs.

"I have to stay here so things don't look too obvious for Jack," explained Eric. "You'll be all right when I teleport you to the CGI people's planet." Then he turned to the power supply. "Open sesame!" At the bottom, a tiny door opened. "Get in, you three."

Bugs, Danny and Sweet Corn crouched and squeezed in. The door closed behind them. Then bright lights shone in front of them and they felt like they were shooting up like a space rocket. Then everything stopped and the door automatically opened. They walked out and saw they had just walked out of metal crate.

"That's one small step for rabbit," said Bugs.

"One giant leap for dwarves," cried Danny, jumping over Bugs.

Sweet Corn jumped ahead of them both. "And four hooves for unicorn… kind-ish?"

"Nah," said Bugs and Danny together.

The sky was pink as a pink rose with dark green clouds. It was hanging over the mega city. It was full of buildings – all made out of glass. The pavements and roads felt they were made out of rocks instead of tar. But that didn't bother the cars as they were hovering above them. And the people were walking just fine. These CGI people not only included humanoids, but it also included furry creatures, scaly creatures, bird-like creatures and even robots were walking like citizens. They were all wearing clothes. Everyone was busy walking and minding their own business that no one noticed three black hooded covered-up figures walking by them.

"Lucky these robes were in the garbage nearby, I suppose," moaned Danny.

"Oh, come on, they aren't bad," said Sweet Corn. "I imagine this is up Dark Robes's street."

"Eh, wish this Orb were up this one," said Bugs.

"Three aliens want help?" asked a female voice.

They stopped and turned around. They were in front of a completely covered up building.

"Look below," the female voice ordered.

They looked down and saw a CGI black woman behind bars that was lying on the pavement.

"How can a prisoner like you help us?" Danny demanded.

"Because Clive knows three guys are aliens," said the woman.

"Clive?" cried Bugs. "Clive who?"
"Clive Boun, at three guys' service," said the woman, putting out her hand through the bars.

Danny and Sweet Corn were unsure about shaking it, but Bugs was brave enough to shake it and it felt all right.

"So three guys want to find the Orb of Selflessness?" said Clive. "If Clive helps three guys out, will three guys promise to get Clive out of here?"

"Yes!" cried Sweet Corn straight away.

"Why did you agree quickly?" asked Danny. "She could be leading us into a trap."

"What's the worst that could happen?" asked Sweet Corn. "If we do, Eric will come and rescue us!"

Bugs ignored their arguing and walked to Clive. "Since we made a promise, doc, where is dis Orb?"

"The Orb is on the top of the Mount Myjast," Clive told them.

"Mount Myjast?" laughed Sweet Corn. "More like 'Mount, my a – "

"It's very tough," Clive went on. "It's in a private area. A sort of, how do Earthlings say, National Park. Three guys can't use a hovering car even if they stole on and tried to sneak above them. It's well guarded."

"Well, how do we get there, then?" asked Bugs.

"Roll up! Roll up!" cried a robotic voice on a microphone. "Step right this way for a tour of the planet Hopcon. See the beautiful seas, skies, forests and mountains untouched by Neomaverks."

"Neo-what?" cried Danny.

"I assume it's de name for these CGI humanoids," thought Bugs. "Now let's get on board."

They turned and followed where the robot was announcing. They saw a queue on boarding a metal ship that looked like a double decker bus on the back of an eagle. They joined the queue, but they were the last three. They tried to get on, but the bus was full already.

"We need to get on this bus, guys!" snapped a panicking Danny.

Bugs looked around and finally had an idea. "Follow me, guys!"

Soon the ship lifted and took off. It was in the air and sailing through the air smoothly, except for the three stowaways on top.

"I don't feel good," moaned Sweet Corn.

"Join the club!" snapped Danny.

"Hey, guys, chill," said Bugs.

"But how?" yelled Sweet Corn and Danny together.

"With these cool drinks." The grey rabbit took out some water bottles that appeared to be bought in the cool section of a supermarket. He chucked them to his friends. They quickly drank it and they were chilled – and shaking!

"Ain't I a stinker?" he said to the audience.

The bus was hovering above the sky. They saw some incredible sights on the way. There were giant mountains that looked exactly like Earth's, only they were the shapes of trees and bushes. The forests of trees and plants looked like bowling pins with branches coming out of the pins. And the seas were darker than the drains on Earth that it looked like it was…

"Spilling oil!" snapped Danny. "What kind of sci-fi planet is this? Not even a pre-schooler would believe this."

"And this," said the announcer on the bus, "is the most famous mountain on the whole planet of Hopcon – Mount Myjast!"

Bugs, Danny and Sweet Corn leaned over on the side of the bus and saw the most beautiful sight on the planet – a giant mountain that was as large as Earth's Everest, only it had a large balcony that was like a white half-moon on its neck.

"This is our stop!" cried Danny, jumping on Sweet Corn.

"I know you're made of wood," moaned Sweet Corn, "but you're still a heavy dwarf!"

"Hop on, Bugs," Danny said.

Bugs jumped on behind the dwarf.

"Cowabunga!" screamed Danny, as he pulled the reins and made Sweet Corn jump off the bus. Sweet Corn and Bugs screamed, while Danny was 'yahoo'ing all the way down! They were getting closer and closer to the balcony, but they missed it. Finally, Danny got out his axe. He stuck it into the mountain.

"Wow! What a ride, hey?" the mad dwarf exclaimed.

"Yeah, except we are fifty miles under the balcony!" snapped Sweet Corn.

"Well, we didn't have any parachutes and, if we hit the balcony, we'd be painted all over the balcony," Danny said. "Besides, I happen to be a faster climber. Let me show you."

Danny climbed the three of them up and it took them about…

"Thirty seconds!" exclaimed Danny.

"Probably because de editor used fast motion to make it look possible," said Bugs.

The alien trio were now on the balcony. It was all white from the edge to the room it led to. Inside the room was a giant bowl of water and above it was the Orb!

"You guys go get it," Danny ordered. "I'll be on guard."

Sweet Corn lifted Bugs up with his nose. The grey bunny reached for it. He also got it when –

"Wanna touch it?" said a powerful voice. Bugs gasped and fell into the water. He, Sweet Corn and Danny looked up to see a white Neomarvek in black robes and with a gold chain around his neck with a crystal on it.

"Thanks for the cover, Dwarf Brain!" Sweet Corn snapped at Danny.

"He just came in like a ghost," said Danny.

"Eh, what's up, doc?" asked Bugs, as he climbed out of the water.

"How did you get here? And why are you here?" asked the Neomarvek.

"How about asking de question, 'Who are you?' to us?" suggested Bugs. The Neomarvek didn't. "Oh, well. I am Bugs Bunny, King of de Planet… eh…"

"Well, King Bugs Bunny of the Planet Eh, I am President Dobt," said the Neomarvek. "I rule everything and everyone of Hopcon. What brings you here?"

"I was hopin' we could build a truce – and a bridge too – between our two planets," said Bugs.

"Oh! And you thought we could do that – by stealing my Orb?" shouted President Dobt. "Guards!"

Behind them, about a dozen guards, wearing the same suits Jack Epic's Neomarvek Soldiers wear, pointed their guns at Bugs, Danny and Sweet Corn.

"Three aliens arrived here and jumped on the most secret spot on Hopcon and has arrived with no gadgets, no weapons and no allies to – "

"Surprise you?" said Choc, holding a sword that shone green.

"Is that supposed to be a lightsaber?" asked Danny.

"No," replied Choc. "It's supposed to be like Frodo and Bilbo Baggins' sword, Sting. Only it flashes green instead of blue." Not only that but it also sang Message in a Bottle by Sting the singer. "Ha, ha, rip off," moaned Choc sarcastically.

Trolley appeared behind the guards and knocked them down with his cane like bowling pins.

Dobt tried to run away from this "alien attack", but he was trapped in a ring of fire coming from the mouth of Shou Off. Dobt looked around to see if there was a way out. There wasn't but he wasn't alone. "Hello, Mr. President," Eric Epic grinned.

"Eric Epic?" cried Dobt. "The evil son of Jack Epic? He warned me about you, so I've come prepare!" Behind his back, he got out a metal stick with red electricity glowing spear heads on each end. He struck for Eric, but the young wizard lifted his hand and the spear was out of Dobt's hand. It turned into a metal chain and it wrapped around Dobt.

"If I was evil, Mr. President," said Eric, "I would take you out and you wouldn't know it."
"Where would you take him out to?" asked Sweet Corn. "A Bistro restaurant? A movie theatre?"

He and his friends laughed at this.

"Maybe you're just trying to trick me," said Dobt. "Just like how your kind stole the powers from the God of Magic, Nymther! I know what you're trying to do and you can't have it, even if you try to destroy this planet. Which is probably what you're doing."

"What are you talking about?" Eric felt a little rumble.

Shou Off was forced to cease fire.

"Shou Off, get up in the sky and tell me it's not true!" Eric ordered.

The dragon flew up out and saw the mountains were falling down. "It's true, Eric!"

Eric didn't know what to do.

When everyone was witnessing the dramatic event, Dobt wriggled himself free out of the chains. "I'm going to get out of here and let you die in your own evil scheme." He walked away.

"You've got some talk about evil, walking away and letting the people you rule to die," said Eric.

The President stopped and looked at Eric.

The pink sky and its green clouds were vanishing like ghosts. The sky was all space and stars.

The oceans and the seas were draining. The trees and the bushes were being chopped down not by an axe or a chainsaw, but by some fuzzy grey figures. They had no arms, no legs and no facial features.

Now every Neomarvek on the planet was gathered into squares in the capital city of Seup. They were lying on the floor and coughing.

"Citizens of Hopcon, we computer viruses mean you no harm," said the chief of the fuzzy creatures know as computer viruses, "but this entire thing is for one wizard to turn himself in and bring the Orb of Selflessness with him."

"Okay, I'm here," cried a voice. The Chief computer virus turned around to see Eric Epic walking towards him. Bugs and the servants were also with him.

"And here's de Orb." Bugs produced the Orb in his hand.

"Give it to me!" ordered the Chief Virus.

"Not until you let those Neos go!" Eric yelled back.

"I do not take orders from anyone who is not an Epic!" the Chief snapped.

"I am the adopted son from Jack Epic!" shouted Eric. "That makes me an Epic and I order you to stand down!"

"You are not one of his blood sons," said the Chief. "You have no power over us. Now give me the – "

"Go ahead, Bugs," Eric sighed.

The grey bunny chucked it to the Chief.

The Chief inspected it. "Wait a minute! This Orb is…" He threw it down to the ground where it smashed into tiny glass pieces. "…a glass ball with a forty watts bulb in it." He turned back to Eric, not noticing some wriggly things coming out of the broken pieces. "Where is it?" he demanded.

"Up your nose, probably," Eric laughed meanly.

"Kill all those Neos until he takes this seriously!" the Chief ordered the other viruses.

Then he was groaning. All the other viruses were groaning.

"Why am I groaning?" yelled the Chief. "And what are these worms doing here?" Around all of him and the viruses were green techno worms.

"They're a little present from Eric," said Bugs.

"You've given them computer worms?" exclaimed Trolley.

"Yep, the worms are spreading around the viruses giving them tapeworms," smiled Eric.

"Tapes? You mean, you use these worms as measuring tapes?" asked Trolley.

"If you think this is going to make us stop," groaned the chief, "it won't! Master is preparing something worse than this!"

"What?" Eric demanded.

The chief tried to resist the pain, but he couldn't. "He's planning to rip this planet and all the people! I don't know how he's doing it! Honsetly!"

"Well, that's the reason why I gave you the worms," said Eric. "Thank you for cooperating." He wriggled his finger around and the viruses went down a big hole.

Bugs was confused. "Did ya just – "

"Nope, I just sent those worms through a wormhole to a virus-ish planet for them to live on," Eric told him. "And it's galaxies away so they won't cause any harm." Then he turned to the audience. "Now this is how you get rid of computer viruses, kids."

"Do they still have the worms?" asked Choc.

"Well, every planet needs a worm to help the environment, don't they?"

Then the whole city rumbled and rumbled more than before. The buildings, the trees and the mountains were being pulled up to the sky and into a black hole!

"How could Jack create such a black hole?" thought Eric.

Then the streets and the skies were also being pulled into the black hole. The Neos screamed their heads off and began to run, but Eric put his hand out and everyone froze like statues. They couldn't move

"Everyone, please remain calm," said Eric. Then he whistled like an air raid siren and about a dozen grey ships – in all shapes and sizes – similar to Battlestar Galatica's Colonial ships appeared above them. They hovered above them. A blue light from the biggest one shot down and landed on the floor next to Eric. The light grew to be a hologram of President Dobt.

"Mr. Epic, there are only five hundred seats on each ship," Dobt told Eric.

"There's no way we can save all 7.8 billion Neos!" Danny pointed out.

"There is one way," said Eric. Then he put scratched his chin as he thought. "7.8 billion times five hundred equals…"

There were more ships in the sky than there were stars in space.

"…enough ships," Eric finished with a satisfied smile.

One by one, all the Neos were teleporting off the planet like mad.

"We've got everything, Mr. Epic," Dobt reported to Eric. "We've got all the Neos, including the animals and the prisoners."

"Help! Help!" cried a female voice.

"Clive!" cried Bugs, Danny and Sweet Corn exclaimed. They had forgotten all about it.

"Mr. President, take off!" Eric ordered. "We'll find our own way out."

"Thank you, Mr. Epic," said Dobt. "And I hope someday you will – will – will – " His hologram was going static and it went off completely.

"Right, guys, time for you to do your part of the deal," said Eric, running to the prison.

"Eh, ya knew about dat?" asked Bugs.

"You think nothing happens to you without me knowing?" said Eric. "I know Danny can't really climb mountains in thirty seconds. It was the editor using fast motion to make you look good."

"Or embarrassed, looking at it that way," moaned Danny.

Eric and his friends ran to the prison and saw the cell Clive Boun was in. In his hand a bowling ball appeared and he threw it to the bars. CLANG! All the bars were clear. Eric and Bugs helped Clive out.

"Clive Boun at wizard's service," smiled Clive, as she was free.

"Eric Epic," Eric said. "Hey, how do you know I'm a wizard?"

"Well, Clive's not stupid," snapped Clive. "Clive saw Eric do his spells to free her out of here."

"And me too!" cried a voice that everyone knew very well. The figure climbed out of the cell.

"Marvin the Martian!" everyone cried.

"Everyone knows Clive's cellmate?" cried Clive.

"How did ya get 'ere?" Bugs yelled at his old foe.

"I crash-landed here," said Marvin, "then I was arrested not because I was different, but because I crash-landed on a farm and destroyed their house. Why are they complaining? No one was killed and all the trapped animals were free.

"Anyway, thanks for freeing me and in the nick of time, too." Marvin got out a remote and pressed it. His green ship hovered above him and beamed him up. Then the ship took off! But Eric and his friends were not a bit surprised, as they knew Marvin wasn't the most generous alien in the universe.

"Maybe he'll save us one day in the future when all hope appears to be gone, which is not today," thought Eric. Then he turned to Clive. "Clive, do you have a ship?"

"No," replied Clive. "And judging by how much of this planet we have left – " Which was only half. " – the closet we have to a ship is – "

"A junkyard!" moaned Danny. "Why it's always junkyards?"

But Clive was right. If there was ever a place to a find a ship, with only about an eight of the planet left, it would be the junkyard.

"I "assome" the plan dis to find broken ship pieces and we built dem together to build a space ship," said Bugs.

"Nope," smiled Eric. "That's too obvious. All we need is…" He bent down and picked up something. "…this!"

"An uncompleted wooden… wood?" Danny laughed his head off. "It ain't got no engines."

"It doesn't even have a nose!" pointed out Choc.

"Maybe it could get away with lies unlike Pinocchio," Sweet Corn chuckled.

Eric rubbed his hands on the wood and it turned into a space shuttle.

"That's great, Doc," said Bugs. "But it's like a toy space shuttle."

"Well, just hop in," said Eric.

Bugs still couldn't understand him, but he was his new best friend and he trusted him. He hopped over the space shuttle and, very strangely, he was in the cockpit. "Start the engines, Bugs," a large Eric commanded through the windscreens. The grey rabbit did.

Back on the outside, Eric ordered his friends, including Clive to hop in the shuttle. They thought he was crazy but they did. Finally, the wizard jumped in and they were flying away into space, with the planet and the black hole solar systems behind them.

"Mission accomplished everyone!" Eric cried happily. "We're alive, we escaped an exploding planet and we saved an entire population!"

"We didn't get the Orb, though," moaned Trolley.

"Didn't we?" Eric reached into his pocket and pulled out the Orb.

"How did you get it?" asked Choc.

"It was Tricky Spell No. 12," Eric explained. "It was so tricky I didn't know I could do it, even though I did. But I couldn't do it without any of you guys. And that includes you, Clive."

"Thanks, Mr. Epic," said Clive.

"So what did you get arrested for?" he asked.

"Clive was an orphan from the age of seven and she was living on the streets," said Clive. "Then, one day, when she was seventeen, Clive was walking in the Ghulanger Forest and then she saw something. A giant metal boiler from Planet Earth! Clive went for a closer look and saw it was actually a machine Jack Epic made that could create a black hole. It was just powering but Clive decided to try to deactivate it, but she was taken by soldiers. Clive tried to tell everyone that it was Jack, but no one would take a Neo's word against the word of Jack and Clive was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment. For five years…"

"Guys, I hate to interrupt but we got incomin'!" cried Bugs in the cockpit.

Everyone looked through the cockpit and saw a missile coming! There was no way of avoiding it and no way could Eric do a quick spell.

Clive looked at the computer. "Impact in five… Four… Three… Two… One…"
