A package arrived at Babs' burrow that was addressed to Babs. The pink rabbit took the parcel into her bedroom and opened it. She pulled out a strange video game console that had eighteen controllers.
"Nice!" She exclaimed. "My Superbly Netting Enjoyable Software video game console came! I gotta tell Buster about it."
Just as Babs picked up her phone, her mother's voice came chiming into her room.
"Babs, hun." She said. "Another package came for you!"
She threw the box onto Babs' bed. As Babs went to open it, Buster emerged from the box.
"Hey, your new game console came!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's what I was about to tell you." Babs informed.
"I have a better idea." Buster informed. "Let's tell the reader three stories involving us and video games."
"Yeah!" Babs agreed. "Like that one time we found that strange game console that jumbled our eye sights."
"That's level one for this chapter, folks!" Buster informed. "The Cyber Girl!"
(The Cyber Girl)
Calamity was writing an application on piece of paper. After he finished writing it, he kissed the paper and placed it into an envelope. As he walked to a post office, he walked past Buster and Babs.
"Hey Calamity, whatcha got there?" Buster asked.
"It's an application to try out a new gaming console from a company that made our games." Read the sign Calamity held up.
"You mean the one with the fast blue creature who isn't Buster?" Babs asked.
"No, the one with the guy in red and blue clothing." Read the sign Calamity held up. "They're making a unique video game console and I want to test it out."
Three days later, the Tiny Toons were having lunch at Weenie Burger.
"So then I said, that's not a walrus, that's a carrot!" Buster laughed.
Nobody else found it funny. As Buster wiped the laugh tears from his eyes, Calamity walked over with a box and placed the box on their table.
"It came!" Read the sign he held up. "The Cyber Girl!"
"Cyber Girl?" Read Plucky. "You mean you got yourself a computer girlfriend?"
Calamity shook his head, and took the system out of the box. The Cyber Girl looked like a pair of Virtual Reality goggles except they had legs for standing, was dark blue, and had two controller inputs (along with two controllers of course).
"This is the console?" Hamton asked. "It kinda looks like VR glasses with legs."
Calamity dumped out the box, and out came various game cartridges for the console.
"Cartridges?" Babs inquired. "Where do they even go?"
Plucky examined the system and found the cartridge slot. The games go into the front of the system.
"The front?" He inquired. "Why not the top?"
"Like, so who is gonna test the system first?" Shirley asked.
Calamity picked up one of the game cartridges, that of a baseball game, and plugged it into the system. He took one of the controllers and plugged that in too. He then put his eyes to the eye slots. Around fifteen seconds into playing later, he removed his face from the system. His eyes looked round and bulbous, and they were changing all sorts of colours.
"I now have a splitting headache." Read the sign he held up.
"Hey, there's a boxing game!" Buster announced.
"I wanna try it!" Plucky exclaimed.
Calamity gave a humourless expression as Buster and Plucky plugged in the boxing game cartridge into the Cyber Girl. As the two played the game and Buster was winning, Plucky leant forward towards Buster's head, and began biting his ear just as Mike Tyson bit Evander Holifield's ear. This prompted Buster to put an actual boxing glove and with one swing being a left hook, Plucky was launched through the ceiling.
"Buster Bunny wins by knockout!" Babs announced in a referee-like voice.
"Dizzy want try this!" Dizzy exclaimed grabbing the Cyber Girl.
"Try not to eat eet!" Fifi yelled.
"Dizzy just want to play it!" Dizzy protested.
He put his eyes to the system with the intent of trying to play a ninja game, and approximately five seconds later, he screamed and ran away with his eyes on fire.
"Let's do a montage." Read the sign Calamity held up.
Fowlmouth came and tried to play a cooking game, only to run away after fifteen seconds yelling out every choice word imaginable, Fifi and Shirley tried to play a two-player tennis game, only for Fifi to release her odour and Shirley's aura to come and cover Shirley's eyes within less than one minute, Little Beeper tried playing a track racing game only to run away from the system only three seconds into playing (he was running twice as fast as he ever did), Lil Sneezer came over wanting to test it, and tried playing a castle explorer game, only to reveal that he is allergic to virtual reality, letting out a sneeze which sent the system flying away, and it took the Tiny Toons seventy minutes to find the console.
"Who haven't we had try the system yet?" Plucky asked.
"Oooh, the aminals have a new toy!" She-who-shall-not-be-named exclaimed. "Can I play too?"
Buster, Babs, Plucky, Hamton, and Calamity looked at each other with scheming looks. They pressed Elmyra's head and eyes against the Cyber Girl, causing Elmyra to scream five seconds in.
"This burns my eyes!" She screamed.
After another five seconds, Elmyra's entire body was set ablaze. She ran off screaming and crashed into Montana Max's limousine after it came back from Disneyworld.
"Well, it's been established that this thing is a piece of junk!" Plucky exclaimed.
"It's too dangerous to be released!" Hamton added.
"We need to do something about this!" Babs added. "Something that'll send a message to the company it came from!"
"What can we do?" Buster asked.
A lightbulb shone on top of Calamity's head.
"I have an idea." Read the sign he held up.
Seconds later, the Cyber Girl was strapped to tons of dynamite, which exploded in tons and tons of explosive glory. Just after it exploded, Calamity gathered the remains of the Cyber Girl, placed them back into the box they arrive in, and attached the note to the box which read:
"It was delivered to me this way!"
"That's the end of the first level, folks!" Buster informed.
"Now it's time for level two!" Babs added. "And in case you're wondering, there are no powerups for this game of a chapter, unless you count reading the stories at all as a powerup, that we do."
(The Not-Lame Game Tournament)
The Tiny Toons gathered in class, as Bugs Bunny has announced something amazing for that day. Plucky was preparing to hurl his entire textbook at Hamton's head and blame it on Dizzy, when suddenly Bugs came into the room.
"Alright students, it's time for my announcement." He proclaimed. "Today, there will be no lessons!"
The entire classroom erupted in cheers from the students.
"I wasn't done yet, docs!" Bugs yelled out.
The students stopped celebrating and returned to their seats.
"Because we're all going to the arcade!" He added.
The cheering from the students became louder than their previous cheering.
"Hey!" Bugs bellowed. "Quiet!"
They stopped cheering again.
"We're going to the arcade because there's going to be a video game tournament." Bugs added.
Yet again, the students started cheering, even louder than the last two cheers combined. Bugs, who was getting visibly annoyed, got out a megaphone and bellowed into it:
"KNOCK IT OFF!"
There was silence in the classroom.
"The game you will all be playing is Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, as an arcade version was released in ACME Acres." Bugs explained.
He expected the students to start cheering loudly again, which they didn't. Bugs figured that they were going to let him finish, and carried on.
"The grand prize for the winner is a cookie jar filled with double chocolate chip cookies." Bugs finished. "They get to keep the jar and all the cookies inside."
You can guess what happens next. The cheering could be heard fifty meters from ACME Looniversity. Bugs looked like he was about to explode in fury. He dragged two oversized speakers into the classroom, plugged a microphone into them, got out the same megaphone, and bellowed at the top of his voice:
"STOOOOOP IIIIIIIIIIIT!"
Windows were shattered, feedback echoed through the halls, and there was a ringing sound in the ears of the students.
"For all you readers reading this, there are two reasons why it's that game being played." Bugs explained. "One is because RedHood123 suggested it long back, and because Tiny Toons aired on Nickelodeon in the past."
So the Tiny Toons were taken to the arcade. The cookie jar was locked away in a glass container. It was tall and brown and had a cookie symbol on the front. The Tiny Toons, Plucky especially, started salivating at the thought of all the cookies inside the jar.
"How many cookies are in that jar?" Buster asked.
"About as much cookies in that jar I'm guessing." Hamton replied.
The Tiny Toons each selected who they will be playing as. Buster chose SpongeBob, Babs chose Patrick, Plucky chose Leonardo, Hamton chose Michelangelo, Shirley chose Sandy, Fifi chose Helga, Furrball chose Aang, Dizzy chose Garfield, Sneezer chose Ren & Stimpy, Sweetie chose Reptar, Elmyra chose Lucy Loud, Montana Max chose Shredder, Gogo chose Zim, Calamity chose Danny Phantom, Little Beeper chose Korra, and Fowlmouth chose Powdered Toast Man.
"I have a title for the winner of this tournament!" Babs announced. "The crazy cooker cruncher! Nice alliteration, huh?"
"Good luck to Furrball!" Penelope cheered.
The other Looney Tunes looked at Penelope.
"What?" She replied, defensively. "He's my adopted son."
The first matchup was Plucky going against Sweetie. Sweetie had an idea in her head and giggled before executing it.
"Plucky, if you win, it'll prove that you're really a selfless guy who doesn't care about the rising friendship between Furrball and Shirley." She giggled.
Plucky completely removed his hands (or wings) from the controls, allowing Sweetie to take the win.
"Haha, thanks for the free win, ya bozo!" Sweetie jeered.
The next matchup was between Fowlmouth and Little Beeper. What Fowlmouth didn't account for is that not only was Little Beeper a fast runner, he was also a fast video game player as well. Little Beeper won the game in fifteen seconds, causing Fowlmouth to steam out of the arcade, spewing out cuss words in fury. The next matchup was between Elmyra and Gogo. Elmyra realised that Gogo wasn't moving Zim.
"Why aren't you controlling your alien-head character?" She asked.
"Because I'm controlling you." Gogo smiled.
Gogo was using a separate controller to control Elmyra into first losing the game, then walking her back to her house, handcuffing her to her bed, and leaving a note next to her reading "Do not release me or give me any animals."
"She's out!" Gogo announced, sounding like a baseball umpire.
The next game was between Fifi and Hamton. While they were playing, Bupkus was glaring at Hamton from across the arcade, which put Hamton off his senses. Fifi ended up winning in the end. The next was between Buster and Montana.
"You may as well give up now, Monty." Said Buster. "I'm a protagonist, you're the antagonist. Period."
"That's where you're wrong, rabbit!" Montana cackled. "Because I'm rich, and rich people always win!"
"I must be rich then." Buster replied. "Because I already won."
Montana looked at the screen and saw that Buster won.
"How is that even possible?!" He yelled.
"A magician never reveals their secrets." Smiled Buster.
The next matchup was Furrball and Calamity. While they played, Calamity thought to himself. Furrball has been through a lot of bad memories throughout his years, and he's fighting for his new adoptive mother and his rising friendship with Shirley. Calamity decided to do a noble thing and allow Furrball to win. He'd wait until after the tournament to tell him. The next game was between Dizzy and Sneezer.
"I'm allergic to playing video games." Sneezer informed. "Ah... ah... AAHHH... CHOOOO!"
With one sneeze, Dizzy was sent into a wall, which caused Sneezer to win.
"Gesundheit." Dizzy said.
Next was between Babs and Shirley. Whenever Shirley took the lead, Babs tried pulling funny faces to distract Shirley, but Shirley ignored them, and ended up winning.
"Aw nuts!" Babs exclaimed.
The qualified winners were Buster, Furrball, Little Beeper, Shirley, Sneezer, Gogo, Fifi, and Sweetie. The next matchup was between Fifi and Sweetie.
"Fifi, lookout!" Sweetie exclaimed. "Elmyra is behind you!"
Fifi screamed and ran around the arcade while Sweetie continued playing and won. The next matchup was between Buster and Furrball.
"You're probably gonna let me win." Furrball informed.
"Why would I do that?" Buster asked.
"Because you'd rather eat carrots than cookies." Furrball explained.
"Point well taken." Buster replied.
Needless to say, Furrball ended up winning. The next matchup was between Gogo and Sneezer. Sneezer was going to sneeze again but Gogo used a "Sneeze Blocker" to stop Sneezer from blasting him into the wall like he did with Dizzy. Because the sneeze was held in, Sneezer's body inflated until it was round like a ball. Gogo removed the blocker, and Sneezer took off like a deflated balloon. The next matchup was between Shirley and Little Beeper. Shirley, aware of Little Beeper's speed, used her psychic ability to slow down time and take the win.
"Like, not even speed can match my abilities or some junk." She proudly announced.
The final four were Furrball, Sweetie, Shirley, and Gogo. The next matchup was between Furrball and Sweetie. Sweetie tried distracting Furrball using various methods such as pulling funny faces, tugging on his tail, and whispering white lies into his ear. As Sweetie tried to tell Furrball that Penelope was secretly an alien, Furrball ended up winning because Sweetie wasn't actually playing.
"What?" She yelled. "How did I lose to Furrball? HOW?!"
"Probably because you spent less time playing and more time trying to put me off." Furrball replied.
Sweetie steamed with anger before flying out of the arcade. The next match was between Shirley and Gogo.
"Face it, Gogo." She said. "Not even your wackiness is a match for my psychic abilities or some junk.
Shirley wasn't even touching her controllers. She was controlling her character via her psychic abilities. Gogo tried controlling Shirley like he did Elmyra, but her aura took Gogo's controller and broke it in half, allowing Shirley to win.
"It would've been wackier if you stood on your bill." Gogo shrugged. "And I don't mean that bill you're standing on."
Gogo pointed at the floor, showing that Shirley was standing on a bill from a restaurant. It was from when Buster, Babs, Plucky, and Hamton went to that fancy restaurant in "Life in the 1990's".
"Like, talk about a strange appearance." Shirley stated.
The final matchup was between Furrball and Shirley. Furrball was visibly unnerved by the matchup. Their bonding has been flourishing quite a lot the last few weeks, even before Penelope adopted him, and Furrball was worried that this matchup may break that bond.
"Furrball, I can tell you're uncomfortable going up against me." Shirley informed. "But I don't want you going easy on me or some junk. It's only a game."
"Hehe, Shirley going against her boyfriend." Dizzy snickered.
"He's not my boyfriend, Dizzy!" Shirley snapped, her face turning crimson. "He's just my friend who is a boy!"
"Then why you two kiss before during stream?" Dizzy laughed.
"Because you told us to!" Yelled Shirley, steam coming out of her ears as her bill became redder than blood.
"But me saw you two kiss after that time as well!" Dizzy cackled. "During your birthday!"
Shirley took out a frying pan from behind her back, and smacked Dizzy on the head with it. Dizzy was flattened underneath the pan as a result. Furrball watched in astonishment. Getting on Shirley's nerves is a no-go in his book. The blue cat and the psychic duck played the game normally until they both were on high damage. Furrball executed a special attack, thinking it would just knock Shirley off the platform and that she would get back on it and win, but it ended up knocking her off the stage entirely, causing Furrball to win.
"Shirley, I didn't mean to do th-" Furrball protested nervously.
He was cut off by Shirley placed her index finger on Furrball's lips. She then leant forward and whispered in a somewhat loving voice:
"I let you win."
Furrball felt butterflies in his stomach, he felt lighter than usual, and his cheeks felt like they were about to burst like over-inflated balloons. He was snapped out of his trance by Shirley levitating the cookie jar into his hands.
"Go ahead and take the first cookie, Furrball." Shirley replied, winking at Furrball while making sure no-one saw her do so.
Furrball opened the cookie jar, and discovered to his surprise, that the jar was empty.
"Hey, where are all the cookies?" Furrball asked.
"I didn't eat them!" Hamton protested.
"Me neither!" Added Dizzy.
"Then who did?!" Demanded Plucky.
The Tiny Toons heard a crunching noise coming from the janitor's closet. They opened the door and saw DiamondPickle994 eating the cookies.
"DiamondPickle994!" Buster gasped. "How could you?!"
"Sorry, guys." Apologised DiamondPickle994. "You know I like cookies."
"But why didn't you just go to the store and buy some cookies?" Babs asked.
"Two reasons." DiamondPickle994 explained. "One is because the store doesn't sell these double chocolate cookies, the other is so I can be a part of this story."
"We're gonna have you thrown in jail for this!" Plucky yelled.
"Or, we could all share the cookies." Offered DiamondPickle994.
The Tiny Toons discussed it with themselves quietly so DiamondPickle994 couldn't hear them.
"Alright, let's share those cookies!" Hamton exclaimed, excitedly.
"Like, I'll get the milk!" Shirley added.
"Ees zhere more cookies?" Fifi asked.
"More than enough for us all." DiamondPickle994 replied.
"Oh boy!" Furrball exclaimed.
"And let's add worms to them!" Sweetie added.
Everyone looked at Sweetie.
"What?" She protested. "I'm a bird!"
And so, the Tiny Toons and DiamondPickle994 all shared the cookies. During their cookie crunching, Hamton let out a loud belch which echoed throughout the arcade. Everyone stared at Hamton who was chuckling with embarrassment.
"Sorry." He chuckled.
"Time for the final level of this chapter, Toonsters!" Buster informed.
"Say, where are the cheat codes?" Babs asked.
Suddenly, a lot of cheetahs ran past them.
"I said cheat codes!" Babs yelled. "Not cheetah codes!"
(The Great Gory Game)
School was out for the day at ACME Looniversity. Buster, Babs, Plucky, and Hamton went over to the video game store.
"So, remember what we agreed on." Buster spoke out. "We can either buy games we want with our own money, or we can combine our allowances to buy a video game we can all share. Emphasis on the word: share."
Buster was looking at Plucky the entire time he was talking.
"What are you looking at me for?!" Plucky demanded.
"That's exactly why." Babs replied. "Now let's go and get some games."
The four Tiny Toons went into the arcade. Buster checked the handheld games section, Babs checked the game accessories section, Hamton checked the normal console section, and Plucky examined the regular games section. While he was examining it, he came across a game titled "Grizzly Gruesome Gunners". It was a shooting game where you face against many zombies, mutants, aliens, creatures, and other things like that. It comes with first, second, and third person viewing, and even VR compatibility to make it feel like you're in the game. It comes with lots of gore, violence, swearing, and lots of things in games for mature players.
"This game is... perfect!" Plucky exclaimed.
"Uhh, Plucky?" Hamton inquired. "Do you see the age rating?"
Hamton pointed out that the game is rated M.
"The workers won't let you buy it, your parents won't let you play it, and even then, do you have eighty dollars?" Hamton continued.
Plucky's jaw touched the tips of his web feet.
"Eighty dollars?!" He exclaimed. "Jeez, why is it so expensive?!"
"Well, basically all mature games are expensive nowadays." Hamton explained. "The newest Kortal Mombat game is fifty dollars."
Plucky couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Hamton, do you see what we've got to do?" He asked. "We've got to get this game!"
Hamton shook his head.
"Oh no, I'm not taking pet in any schemes you may have!" He said. "Besides, I'm already buying something."
Hamton produced a Y-Box Two from behind his back and went to checkout, leaving Plucky visibly enraged.
"With the readers as my witness, I will have Grizzly Gruesome Gunners!" He proclaimed, loudly.
A store worker was standing behind Plucky, having heard what he was yelling. Needless to say, Plucky was thrown out of the game store.
"This means war!" He seethed.
Plucky tried drawing a fake ID with a Andy wrapper and a couple of crayons, but the store worker wasn't that dumb and kicked Plucky out of the store again.
"Perhaps I should've used sandpaper." Plucky said to himself.
Plucky then tried dressing up as the store's manager and ordering the cashier to sell the game to Plucky, but the actual store manager walked in after a bathroom break, and they both kicked Plucky out of the store, which resulted on Plucky flying further than the last two times, causing him to land into a mine field and it cost one hundred and fifty dollars for Plucky to get treated for his injuries.
"Next time, I'll try dressing as the store manager's mother." Plucky sulked.
Plucky plotted to tunnel under the store and take the video game from below, but the shovel he was using collided with a big rock which shattered the shovel before Plucky could even get close to the store's flooring, he tried disguising himself as an adult by using a pair of stilts and a trench coat, but he wasn't good at using stilts and fell to the floor, snapping the stilts on half in the process, he even plotted to use the same Time Machine from "A Ditch In Time" to travel to the future to find his older self and convince him to buy the game, but before Plucky could even activate it, Buster and Babs came out with baseball bats, and smashed the Time Machine into small pieces.
"What did you do that for?!" Plucky demanded.
"Do you remember what happened in A Ditch In Time?" Babs asked. "Do you honestly think we'll let you use this or any other Time Machine after what happened there?!"
Plucky came across some of his mother's clothes at home, and got another idea. Using his mother's clothes, makeup, a wig, and his mother's purse, Plucky disguised himself as his own mother, and tired to buy the game that way.
"I'd like to buy this game." He said, trying to imitate his mother's voice.
Just when it looked like he was finally about to get the game, Plucky's actual mother came into the store because that's where her sister worked, and saw Plucky dressed as her trying to buy the game. Owner of the game Plucky was not, grounded for a week he most certainly was.
"I knew I shouldn't of fallen asleep during Bugs' dressing in drag lesson!" Plucky scoffed, angrily.
After Plucky's week of grounding was over, he sadly wandered the streets of ACME Acres. He could think of nothing else than the thought of him not owning the game. Suddenly, he happened to glance across the street, where Montana Max was walking while holding a copy of, you guessed it, Grizzly Gruesome Gunners. Plucky darted over to Montana Max in the blink of an eye.
"How did you get that game?!" He asked.
"Do you have any idea how rich I am?" Montana replied. "It only took me forty thousand dollars to convince them to let me buy it. And before you ask, you can't buy it! I don't lend things to anyone, especially not ducks who steal my credit cards!"
"You're right." Plucky replied, slyly. "I only borrow games from cool people. I don't borrow games from people who wish to be poor and care about animals and even Elmy-"
"Take it!" Montana yelled, shoving the game into Plucky's hands in the middle of his sentence.
Plucky didn't need to be told twice. He dashed home with the exact running speed of Little Beeper, and started the game without even saying hi to his parents when he got home.
"Hehe, there is no horror I cannot handle!" He cackled to himself. "I watched about every horror movie there is!"
Only three minutes into playing the game, Plucky's face looked like he just saw every horrifying thing imaginable at the same time. His eyes were wide, his bill was so agape you could drive a train though it, his body was trembling to where feathers started falling out, and he was barely moving. He didn't even get so much as a wink of sleep that night. The next morning, Plucky went to school with red eyes from lack of sleep.
"Hey Plucky." Hamton said. "Guess what my Uncle Stinky got me for my birthday."
When Hamton produced a copy of Grizzly Gruesome Gunners, Plucky screamed like a crazy banshee and ran off in the opposite direction, much to Hamton's confusion,
"What it something I said?" He asked while shrugging.
Gag credit: Video Games provided by "Mom's bank account".
Gogo appeared in the rainbow circle.
"It's been surreal." He said before pressing a button on a remote which made the screen go blank.
Okay everyone, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the next chapter will be the final chapter for this series. The good news is the series will be going out with a bang, because it'll be the students of ACME Looniversity going against Perfecto Prep in a massive final showdown being a marathon of sports in the style of the Olympics. It will also feature original characters on the Perfecto Prep side, one of them being a character from the past of one of the ACME Looniversity series. See you for the finale of this series, Toonsters!
