I must commence with this story now. So grab some popcorn.. oh, and grab your friends to join you! :D I look forward to other readers, so por favor!
Third Person POV:
Bugs looked down on his clipboard, gnawing on the pencil he was holding in his other hand. He glanced up at Bupkus with a questionable look. "So, eh, you sure all this is necessary?" Bupkus growled, angry at the fact that Marie was also kidnapped besides Kari and Elise. "Trust me, if we're gonna find that miserable waste of mother's love, the ship will need as much tuning as possible. He isn't someone to take lightly."
For the past seven hours, the Tunes and Monstars have been keeping their hands full by loading the ship with as many utilities as possible, ranging from tracking devices, ACME explosives courtesy of Wile E. Coyote, and reprogramming of the offense operating system that has been installed by the Monstars since the ship was made, but have never really been used.
Wile was dragging a huge box full of firecrackers and fireworks, along with some Roman candles towards the cargo bay of the ship. Bupkus and Bang were in the process of framing the entire ship with armor, while Pound was adjusting the settings within the ship, programming its defense mechanisms and logging on all of it's radars.
The girls asked if they could do anything to help, but were told to stay put. Lexi and was busy trying to comfort Nada, who was a bit traumatized by the negative turn of events. Mika and Maddie were complaining and retaliating as to why they couldn't come along with the others to save their friends. Daffy and Sylvester did their best to reason with them, but were more concerned with having their heads bitten off by the two angry girls.
"Whadda ya mean, we can't come? We're a part of this now, too! This is bogus!" Maddie shouted, crossing her arms challengingly.
"Well, let's put it this way, you're girls and-" Daffy was cut off as Mika leered in with and angry flare. "Hold up, duck! So the reason you guys won't let us come along is cause we're women? We fought for our rights- no, our fore-mothers fought for our woman's rights, and there's no way in hell we're gonna stay put while you guys go all macho and fight the battle! Uh-uh! Fool, we are coming, whether you like it, or not!"
Sly clutched onto Daffy in a scared hug, and Daffy reciprocating the action. "These girls are a lot more scarier than they look." Sylvester whimpered.
The black mallard shuddered. "No kidding."
Hale walked up to the two angry girls and made his own attempt. "Look, I know you girls mean well, but we can't afford to have any more situations like with what just happened. I'm sorry, but you'll only get in the way of our rescue mission."
Mika was about to go all out, and Maddie jumped in to hold her back. "WHAT! So we're obstacles? Boy, I oughta-"
Lexi came in as soon as she saw the commotion and intervened. "Hale's right."
Hale gave a surprised glance at Lexi, while Mika and Maddie were gawking at her like she just lost her mind. "Say what? Traitor!" Mika scowled at Lexi. Maddie raised a brow, as if asking Lexi if she's sure.
Lexi turned to face Hale. "Don't worry. You make a point. We would only get in the way, so we'll stay put. Just please be careful."
Hale gawked at her for another moment before knocking out of his stupor. "Oh. Okay. Thanks, Lex. I'm glad you understand."
Nodding, the blonde girl turned to her female companions. "Well, let's go home, gals!" Maddie pulled Mika along with them, the dark skinned girl still seething at the entire turnout.
Nada got up and went to join them as they gathered near a tree, out of earshot and sight from everyone for the time being. "I'll go find Blanko and wish him goodbye and good luck."
Before she could even hesitate on making a move, Lexi pulled her and kept her in place. "We're not heading home."
All three girls gawked at Lexi with flabbergasted looks. Mika was about to shout a snark reply, but had Lexi's hand cover up her loud mouth. "Keep it down. I only said what I said to Hale so he would get off our backs, as well as the Tunes and Monstars. We're going with them."
Maddie's brows were raised with surprise and awe. "But how are we gonna pull that off? The Tunes and Monstars are surrounding the entire area of the ship!"
Lexi shook her finger in the air, a sly grin crossing her features. "But not the cargo bay area. The only one who's handling that area is Wile. We can sneak in there when he's not looking." She let go of Mika's mouth, who was giving her a bewildered look. "But that's where the explosives are! How can we guarantee that we won't get blown into smithereens!"
Lexi shoot her a look of annoyance, causing Mika to back down a little. "Look, it's the only chance we got if we want to help save Kari and the other two! It's either that, or we stay here. Take your pick!"
The girls glanced among one another curiously, then Nada stepped up with a confident smile. "Count me in. Sorry, but I kinda feel responsible for all this mess. So I want to do what I can to make up for it!"
Maddie chuckled and slapped Nada on the back. "Now that's what I'm talking about! Let's make that Swackhammer mulch!" The three looked over at Mika. Lexi offered up to her dark friend. "Whadda ya say, Mika?"
Mika shook her head and smirked, placing her hands on her hips. "Y'all just a bunch of crazy people. Hell yes! I'm coming along too!" The girls then began to silently make their way towards the area where the cargo was being loaded. Once there, they saw Yosemite helping Wile out with a large crate that seemed to be containing a missile. As they were moving the crate, the corner of it got stuck in the ground.
"Dang nab-bit! What in tar-nation?" The little cowboy looked down and saw the corner of the box digging into the ground. Wile looked and noticed it too, grimacing. Both Tunes bent down and tried to lift up the heavy box from it's stuck position in the ground.
Seeing this as an opportunity, the girls snuck by the two completely unnoticed. Once they managed to get to the far end of the cargo bay, they found a large area that wasn't occupied by boxes and crammed in there. Lexi got the girls in, making sure that their hiding spot wasn't easily visible from the loading dock and then went in to join her friends.
At last, Yosemite and Wile managed to lift the box up from the dirt dune and continued their task of carrying the box into the bay.
"There. That's the last one! Now we can shut this thing and go get ourselves inside with the others." Wile nodded at this and the both made their way to board onto the ship.
Bugs noticed them coming his way and approached them. "Hey, docs. Ya finished loading all the ammunition?" Yosemite gave a hefty reply, while Wile puffed out his chest proudly. "Ya darn right, we did! Now can we get on this stupid thing? The sooner we leave, the sooner I can use my pistols!"
Bugs nodded and allowed them passage. He glanced down at his clipboard, reviewing the list that was written on the paper that was fastened to the board. "Now let's see here: dynamites, check. ACME rocket launchers and missiles, check. Roman candles, check. Fire crackers and extra Fourth of July junk, check. Well, we got our ammunition!"
The hare flipped the page over to read the passengers list that he also prepared, just to keep track of who was going. "Alrighty then, let's see who we got here: Me, Lola, Daffy, Taz, Sly, Tweety, Witch Hazel, Wile, Yosemite, Elmer, Pepe, Porky, Foghorn, Roadrunner, Pound, Bang, Bupkus, Blanko.."
"Hey, Bugs!" Looking over to see who called him, he smiled and waved over. "Hey there, Blanko! How come ya ain't on board?"
The tall blue alien frowned slightly. "I was looking around for Nada, but I can't find her anywhere. Have you seen her?" Bugs shook his head apologetically. "Sorry, doc. Can't say I have. I think Hale told her and the girls to skedaddle since they're aren't supposed to come along. Guess you must have missed her." Blanko hung his head in sad disappointment. "Oh... Okay, then."
He started making his way aboard the ship to join the others, allowing Bugs to continue his list. "Okay, now Blanko's on board. Now all's left is Nawt and Hale. Wonder where they are?"
"Where who are, Bugs?" The rabbit turned to see the two he was looking for walking over towards him. "I was talking about you two. Everyone else is on board and ready to go."
Nawt smiled at the gray hare. "We were discussing about what tactics we should go over for when we arrive to Moron Mountain. Knowing how Swackhammer is, it isn't gonna be an easy fight."
Hale nodded. "Yeah, we got to be prepared for anything. Good thing we packed up, huh?" Bugs tilted his head in confusion. "Eh, I know I shouldn't pry doc, but uh, do you have any idea how to get to Moron Mountain?"
Nawt nodded his head. "The GPS system has Moron Mountain's coordinates gridded in, so it'll be a cinch. I'm just hoping that it'll be easy in and out."
Bugs nodded back in understanding. "So, shall we board on so we can hit the road? If we dilly dally any longer, it'll be more danger for Kari, Elise, and Marie."
Hale pounded his fist again in the palm of his hand. "I'm ready. Let's go!" Nawt gave a small vengeful growl and started walking into the ship. Once they got in, Bugs motioned for the two to go take their seats while he went to join Daffy, Bupkus and Pound, who were in the front piloting the ship. Bupkus flashed on the intercom, telling everyone to take their seats as they were about to take liftoff.
Bugs and Pound took control of the main controls, while Bupkus and Daffy were logging in information into the monitors, setting the coordinates of Moron Mountain's location and preparing to engage the ships battle mode.
Hale sat in the front row with Nawt, Bang, Blanko and Lola. Lola patted his hand. "Don't worry, Hale. We'll save them." Nodding, Hale had only two things in mind: saving his sister, cousin, and Elise and stopping Swackhammer once and for all.
Feeling the ship's engine humming and vibrating, everything was now set for take off! Initiating the final phase of departure, Pound pressed a few buttons and dials, and pulled a huge lever. "Blasting off!"
The ship lifted up and shot into the air, breaking through the thick atmosphere and into deep space.
