Chapter 9: Explanation

Very soon, all the Kamen Riders, Agents Maltese & Asami, the veteran Looney Tunes and Tiny Toons gathered in the Den-Liner. Gogo Dodo, Shirley and the Warner siblings had their injuries bandaged up by Hello Nurse, Granny and Fifi. "Coffee anybody?" asked Naomi, offering some cups of coffee.

"Thanks," said everybody. Fifi, Fleur, Pepé and Penelope's coffee was French roast.

"So who's the dragon kid?" asked Buster.

"I'm Tadashi, an expert gamer and a huge fan of the Kamen Riders," said Tadashi.

"You know about us?" asked Hongo.

"Yes, cause you're fiction in our dimension. It seems sometimes, whatever is fiction is this world may be real in others," said Tadashi.

"And who are you two?" asked Babs.

"Agent Asami," said Asami.

"And I'm Agent Maltese. We were sent to investigate the recent kidnappings. And it seems you Kamen Riders know who's behind it," said Maltese.

"We do," said Hongo.

As Takeshi Hongo was explaining, he showed holographic images of what he was explaining. "The one behind it all is the terrorist organization, S.H.O.C.K.E.R. They started wanting to conquer the world we come from. But now, they seek to conquer the multiverse. S.H.O.C.K.E.R. specialize in creating their soldiers by turning them into cyborgs or monsters called kaijin. They'll also force human scientists into working for them. To tell you the truth, I became a Kamen Rider because I was kidnapped and turned into a cyborg. They tried to brainwash me too," said Hongo.

"Let me guess, sahmetheeng went, how you say, wrahng," said Pepé.

"Yes. One of the scientists betrayed S.H.O.C.K.E.R. and freed me before the brainwashing could be completed. I fought the organization to bring it to its knees. At one point, they created a second Kamen Rider to try to defeat me. Hayato here that is. But he too was freed and we fought together. But no matter how many times we destroyed S.H.O.C.K.E.R., the organization keeps rising again, stronger than before. But now, this newest incarnation of S.H.O.C.K.E.R. has merged with the remains of other evil organizations and species our successors fought. They include Destron, the Government of Darkness, Geddon, the Garander Empire, Black Satan, the Dogma Kingdom, Jin Dogma, the Badan Empire, the Gorgom, the Crisis Empire, the Grongi, the Unknowns, the Mirror Monsters, the Orpenochs, the Undead, the Oni, the Worms, the Imagin, the Fangires, the Dopants, the Greeed, the Zodiarts, the Phantoms, the Invess, the Roidmudes, the Ganma, the Bugsters, Faust, the Time Jackers, Rogue Humagears, the Megiddo and most recently, the Deadmans," said Hongo.

"So, why is S.H.O.C.K.E.R. kidnaping toons, doc?" asked Bugs.

"And why did that creepy Shadow Moon guy kidnap the former chairperson of Adults Against Funny Cartoons?" asked Gogo.

"We're not sure. Which is why my partner, Philipe is doing special research to find out," said Shotaro.

And indeed Philipe was. He had access to the Gaia Library, a special library consisting of books that contained knowledge of the whole Earth. He was currently surround by several books. "Keyword, S.H.O.C.K.E.R.," said Philipe. The amount of books were reduced by a lot. "Keyword, kidnappings," said Philipe. The books decreased in number again. "Keyword, toons," said Philipe. The books decreased until there was only one left. Philipe grabbed the book and began to read. His eyes widened in horror. For the information in the book horrified him. "I got to tell the others," said Philipe. Philipe arrived to the Den-Liner cafe car.

"So, Philipe, did you find out what S.H.O.C.K.E.R. is up to?" asked Shotaro.

"Yes. And you're not going to like it. Especially you toons," said Philipe.

"What's not to like?" asked Daffy.

"You see, S.H.O.C.K.E.R. came to Acme Acres cause they were called on by Dr. Gene Splicer," said Philipe.

"Dr. Gene Splicer?!" asked Bugs.

"I remember that nut job!" said Babs.

"Apparently, he wants S.H.O.C.K.E.R. to help get revenge on his enemies. But in exchange, he must swear allegiance to the organization and unlock the secret to a toon's tooniness. For they're especially intrigued by you toons' ability to cheat death," said Philipe.

"Cheat death?" asked Gentaro.

"If any of you ever watched our cartoons since in your worlds, we're probably fiction, some of out death defying feats include surviving a fall from a high cliff. Wile E. here is the master of it," said Bugs. Wile E. Coyote blushed in embarrassment.

"Toons can also survive bomb explosions, getting crushed by heavy objects such as pianos, safes and especially anvils," said Plucky.

"Yes. And it's you cheating death is exactly why S.H.O.C.K.E.R. are kidnapping toons. So they kidnapped the former chairwoman of Adults Against Funny Cartoons cause she once built a machine to drain toons of their tooniness to make them civilized. They want her to rebuild the machine so that they can drain the kidnapped toons' tooniness and use to create new soldiers that have the same physic defying abilities you have," said Philipe.

"But if we destroy the machine, the toons' tooniness will return to them like before, right?" asked Buster.

"Wrong. S.H.O.C.K.E.R. wants her to rebuild it so that the machine will drain every single drop of a toons' tooniness. And when that happens, the victim dies," said Philipe.

"WHAT?!" asked all the toons.

"And they'll feed the dead toons to some of their monsters. Even if we destroy the toon kaijin and the machine, the tooniness won't be able to return to its original hosts since they'll be dead," said Philipe grimly. Everybody gasped in horror when they heard those words.

"Sacrebleu!" cried Fifi.

"Zat's terreeble!" said Penelope.

"If those toon kaijin are created, they'll be invinci-ci-ci-ci . . . unstoppable!" stuttered Porky. Petunia clutched the arm of Porky.

"And the only thing that can kill toons, which is dip, has been destroyed along with the one who created it," said Lola.

"Like, we have to stop them," said Shirley.

"I managed to write down the names of some of the toons that were captured," said Philip. He showed everybody his list. They saw Elmyra and T.I.N.O. were on the list.

"Do we have to rescue those particular toons?" asked Plucky.

"Look, I know some of them are jerks, but getting killed by S.H.O.C.K.E.R. is beyond what they deserve," said Philip.

"Where is S.H.O.C.K.E.R.'s located?" asked Asami.

"It's located in a desert outside of town," said Philipe.

"Then we better summon the other Riders and amass an attack on the base," said Yusuke.

"We're coming too," said Bugs.

"No. It's you toons that S.H.O.C.K.E.R. wants. Have you not understood that they want to kill you for your tooniness?" asked Hongo.

"Yes, but this is our home. And we toons must fight to show them that we will bot be pushed around," said Bugs.

"Besides, the Roadrunner and I along with our protégés know the desert more than any toon," said Wile E. Coyote. Hongo sighed in defeat.

"Okay. But you must follow our lead once the battle begins," said Hongo.

"You got it, amigos," said Speedy.

The toons and the Riders now know why S.H.O.C.K.E.R. is kidnapping toons and they must unite to stop them. Next chapter, the Riders and toons not just prepare to fight, but the enemy starts to drain the tooniness of the toons they captured . . .
