Toon town: the crossroads between fantasy and reality
It is a dark and stormy night but in Toon town not everything is what it seems as it is part of toon world created for toons to live. Instead of rain it is raining cats and dogs in a manner of speaking in the sheer craziness that is in this place. A silhouette of someone is walking a dark alley behind the buildings of toon town and then looking up at one of the windows is a silhouette of a woman a female human based toon a sneering smile formed upon the face of the mysterious figure and kept on walking.
Inside an apartment two famous toons are inside, the human based toon puts on a red dress and have red hair with large breasts that move when she walks. It has been five long years of peace in which the Judge Doom incident is behind them and she just wanted to spend time with her husband. Her name is Jessica Rabbit and wife of Roger Rabbit.
"Honey bun I got a special surprise for you," said Jessica
What? A surprise for me," said the voice from the next room "Oh boy I wonder what it could be."
Roger Rabbit comes jumping in and sees his wife Jessica looking radiant as ever as his tongue hands out as he is drooling and his eyes bug out, along with that his heart is racing and melts on the floor for a moment until he brings himself up as he smiles and hops over to his wife.
"You look as beautiful as the day I married you," said Roger
"Oh you say the sweetest things," said Jessica "Let me give you some pie"
"Oh boy pie," said Roger
Roger Rabbit calmly goes over to his wife and then suddenly shots are heard in the background in taking them both by surprise. Then there is silence as Jessica is shocked in looking at her husband who appears to have two gun shots to his chest. Surely a gun cannot harm a toon and then she gasped as Roger dissolved into nothingness as if he was never there to begin with, only dusty remains of his. How did this happen and who did this? She smelled a strange smell.
"No…it cannot be," said screamed Jessica
"Oh but it is my dear," said a voice from out of the shadows
She gasped as she seen the figure in the shadows and this figure is dressed like Judge Doom. Impossible Doom is gone and dead.
"Doom," snarled Jessica
The figure walked out of the shadows and has a gun pointed at her but not an ordinary gun, a foul smell came out of it that almost….almost smelled like dip, her heart raced as that is only substance that can kill a toon.
"Your not doom," said Jessica "Who are you?"
"You have no idea," said the figure "I will allow you to remain alive; I do need a witness after all."
"Son of a bitch" growled Jessica
Jessica snarled and reached for her gun as she was about to fire, only to find the figure has vanished. Then she is hit in the back of the head as she sees stars, in which she stumbles hard to the floor. She tried to get up as she is kicked repeatedly upon her sides and looked up to see the figure staring down upon her.
"Why…." She asked
"You're the message," said the figure as he landed a hard stomp to her face "And consider this sent, good day to you."
The figure vanished leaving Jessica alone; despite being a toon she is throbbing in pain and reached for the telephone.
Los Angeles 1952: Thirty Minutes later
In a small place a telephone is ringing and ringing nonstop as it is pouring rain outside as two people are in bed and are suddenly awoke by the ringing sound of the telephone. The man in bed started to groan and get up as he makes a big yawn and walks over to the telephone, then grabbing it and putting the phone up to his ear. The man is kind of short and hefty with balding hair.
"Yeah, what" said the man
"What" said the man as the voice on the other line spoke to him!
"No!" gasped the man "I will be right down and yeah I will be on the case,"
He hangs up the phone in utter shock upon his eyes as he walked over to get his clothes from the closet and puts on his detective like outfit. The woman in bed got up and went over to him as she has a concerned look in her eyes considering she is his wife now and hasn't seen him like this in awhile.
"Eddy, said the woman "What is it?"
"Roger was killed," said Eddy "By someone dressed like Doom, Deloris,"
"My god what are you going to do," asked Deloris
"Get on the case," said Eddy "I'll talk later,"
Eddy Valiant went over to his drawer to get his gun and some bag of jelly beans, and then he puts the jelly beans in his pocket, along with his gun into his holster as he puts on his hat. Then kissing his wife he goes out the door to investigate this matter and to him this is personal as a sheer look of determination is upon his face. In which the door slams behind him leaving his wife Deloris alone to worry for his safety.
Los Angeles 1952 Two weeks later
Two weeks have gone by since the murder of Roger Rabbit at the hands of someone dressed as Judge Doom as it has toon town on edge and so is Los Angeles. Despite the best efforts of Eddy Valiant he couldn't find the one who looked like Judge Doom as wanted posters are posted all over Los Angeles and Toon Town. But two more toons have been killed in the same style as Roger as someone had witnessed the killing of Betty Boop
She was the original sex queen of the cartoon world and Porky Pig a cartoon with a slight speaking problem. No one knew who would be next as the toons were scared, but some of them are brave enough to continue their cartoon work. One toon is walking down the street in which the sun has gone down and he is dressed in a sailor costume, he has a bloated face, squinting eye and bloated forearms with a tattoo of an anchor he is Popeye the Sailor.
"I am popeye the sailor man," spoke Popeye "I am strong to the finish, because I eats, me-"
He stopped himself and noticed something that just opened down the street. It looked like a circulation of light and stepping out of that light is Gordon Freeman. The one-free-man looked at his surroundings for a moment and realized he is in the 1950's and by the looks of some of the palm trees he is in Los Angeles California. He used his suits scanner to pick up any Combine activity, after a minute or so there is no activity whatsoever.
Gordon decided to check out the 1950's Los Angeles and started to walk down the street until he came upon something odd, at first he blinked at what he sees as it looked like a cartoon of a sailor and Gordon stopped to see it is the cartoon character of Popeye the Sailor Man. What the hell? A cartoon walking around in a reality based environment and he sees the Sailor walking towards him mumbling and grumbling.
"Hey, you," said Popeye "The toon killer, put them up." Popeye puts up his first and dances around Gordon
"I know who you are," said Gordon "But Toon killer I don't think so,"
Popeye starts to punch upon Gordon's armor as the hits don't hurt the one-free-man, but Popeye's hands are throbbing in pain as it might have not been a good idea to hit Gordon's armor and the cartoon blows upon his hands a bit. Until Gordon grabbed him by the collar and throws Popeye into garbage can. As the toon is stuck in the garbage can!
"Guess now you are living in a garbage can," said Gordon
Gordon Freeman calmly walked away in wondering what Popeye the sailor man meant by Toon Killer and to his discovery he found a wanted poster with his face on it. What the hell? Gordon never been in this dimension before and so that means someone else a version of him self is running around. Perhaps he will get to the bottom of this and went to go seek answers in Los Angeles.
Two hours later
Eddy Valiant has gotten a lead as Popeye was attacked by the Toon killer and is lucky to be alive, Jessica Rabbit also heard of this as well and went searching for the killer of her husband, and she didn't give a damn about being a toon or doing her job as a cartoon. People did take notice how brokenhearted she had become and is currently hunting for this killer.
Gordon Freeman came upon a hidden place within this dimension called Toon Town full of cartoons from the 1950's, he wondered who created this place and how did toons come to be in the first place in a form of living along with breathing. Perhaps Walt Disney is behind this or some other unforeseen force at work that is not the Combine.
He found himself walking in Toon town and walking to his left a long bearded man shows up with a bald headed man as well, Gordon recognized them as Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd, the one-free-man knows these characters were voiced by the infamous Mel Blanc the king of the voice actors.
"Say your prayers toon killer," said Fudd pointing his toon gun at Gordon
"Yeah what he said" said Sam
"Look why don't you two losers get lost and besides it's not wabbit season," said Gordon
"It's not," said Fudd
"Nope it's Yosemite season," said Gordon
"Then that means it's Fudd season," said Sam
Then they started to argue as Gordon moved away from these two idiots, suddenly he hears a sound and large shadow looms over him as Gordon muttered under his breath "Shields" as a large anvil came down upon him with a hard crash that bounced off his shields and landed nearby causing dust and debris to fly everywhere. A white and gray bunny eating a carrot came out of no where and smiled. He is bugs bunny
"Aren't I a stinker," said Bugs
"No, no your not," said Gordon
"What, but how," said Bugs "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you," he puts on some glasses
"Actually yes," said Gordon
Bugs Bunny tried to run away as Gordon kicked him squarely in the butt in which the toon is sent flying off in the distance and Daffy Duck saw what happened to Bugs in the background as he laughed and laughed in which finally someone had put Bugs Bunny in his place. Gordon kept on walking and noticed a gang of toons lead by Mickey Mouse as these Toons are Disney characters, Donald, Goofy and a couple of others he does not recognize.
"Look we don't want any trouble toon killer," said Mickey
"I can't believe I am being threatened by Mickey Mouse," chuckled Gordon "And I am not a toon killer, I don't even know how to kill a toon, so just back off and I will find the real killer."
He glared at them and the Disney Toons backed off, but of course Peter Pan showed up and flying around with a stupid smile while holding a little knife in hand and Gordon just rammed his fist into the face of Peter Pan as he is knocked silly as birds are chirping above the cartoon's head. Gordon is getting annoyed at this and kept on moving until he sees a swirling like a tornado but only as large as a human and it stopped as he has a pretty good idea as in who?
The Tasmanian devil stopped and glared at him mumbling away in utter nonsense trying to scare Gordon. But he took out his gun and fired above his head, the devil just laughed but then looked up to see a piano and then with a loud crashing sound the piano falls on top of the Tasmanian devil that looked almost very comical. Gordon continued to move on.
Elsewhere
Woody Woodpecker had just come to Toon town to get away from Los Angeles a bit and is perched in a toon tree and spots a person dressed as Judge Doom so quietly he decided to follow the person until Superman dropped out of the sky to confront the person and demanded him to surrender until the person takes out a gun and fired at the cartoon version of Superman and Woody watched in horror as Superman is dissolved into nothing until he is a pile of dust.
"Stop right there Toon killer," yelled Valiant
"Too late Eddy," smiled the man
The person dressed as Judge doom runs away as Valiant pulls out his gun and fired a couple of rounds, two rounds missed but the third one strikes the person in the shoulder. But the person kept on moving and Eddy Valiant gave chase and a gun battle occurred back and forth between the two.
Also Elsewhere
Gordon Freeman is walking an alley way of Toon town as he is alone and decided to do a log of this.
Freeman's Log
I arrived in this dimension to find no Combine influence or activity but I have discovered Toons along with humans living together it is the 1950's of Los Angeles California. I have gathered that I have been mistaken for a Toon killer, I don't know how it is possible to kill a toon and yet someone named Roger Rabbit was killed by this toon killer. I will learn more as I will search for this killer.
End log.
"You son-of-a-bitch," spoke a voice behind him "You killed my husband,"
Gordon looked and noticed a large breasted Toon female pointing a gun in her hand, tears rolled down her eyes and she has a furious look upon her face. Gordon wasn't intimidated at all and this must be the wife or ex-wife of Roger Rabbit. Seriously he is one lucky guy.
"I didn't do anything," said Gordon
"Die," said Jessica
Jessica Rabbit fired one shot after another at Gordon, but what little did she know is that Gordon has his shields up and the bullet's bounced off of his shields and this left the Toon female in utter shock at this, but kept on firing despite her weapon being empty.
"Jessica watch out," said Eddy "The toon killer is coming towards you,"
"What?" said Jessica "The toon killer is right here,"
Eddy Valiant is shooting at the person with the Judge Doom clothing as both of them have taken cover, but Jessica looked confused as two toon killers are here and Eddy noticed this as well. Although, the person is unaware of Gordon Freeman's presence, at the moment!
"Well, well," said the person "Eddy Valiant and Jessica….good, I have done my damage"
"If that guy is not the Toon killer," said Eddy "Who is the guy dressed as Judge Doom,"
"Not like that will matter for much longer," said the person "My brother was a fool,"
"Your Judge Dooms brother," said Jessica
"Right on the money you worthless whore," said the person "Call me Judge Death and I shall bring death upon Toon town."
He rips off his mask that has a face that looks like Gordon Freeman and he has a toon face now and holds the dip gun in his hand as he smiles a bit.
"You're just as sick as your brother," said Eddy
"How observant of you," said Judge Death "Behold the sky as I drop the dip bomb upon this worthless place,"
A toon like B52 flies in the sky overhead of Toon Town
"My brother will be avenged," said Death "It has been nice knowing you,"
The dip gun is fired at Judge Death and he dissolves into nothing but dust, then the B-52 toon plane flies high enough and drops the bomb. The Toons are awe and in shock as the bomb is heading towards Toon Town.
Gordon Freeman springs into action and creates a small portal right at where the bomb is and is completely gone as all the toon lives have been saved. Jessica Rabbit and Eddy Valiant look at Gordon as the other toons came on the scene to see the rubber mask right besides the dust of once it was a toon.
"So does that mean I am not a toon killer," said Gordon
"No," said Eddy "But you might want to make a statement to the cops,"
"My husband has been avenged," said Jessica
"I'll pass on that," said Gordon "They wouldn't believe me anyway,"
Gordon Freeman then walked away as he activated a portal and simply vanished long with the portal leaving the human and numerous of Toons to look on as they are getting all the answers now.
