Retnuh was cutting through trees like butter with his knife. He was dastardly searching for Buster and Babs.
"Here, bunnies!" He called. "Don't ya wanna see your mommy and daddies more?"
The two rabbits could hear his calling, but didn't go near him. They just moved further and further away until eventually, they could hear him anymore.
"Buster, why don't he throw something heavy at him?" Babs asked.
Buster was too overcome with emotions to respond at first.
"B-Buster?" Babs inquired.
"Babs." Buster said, finally. "I found out recently that my parents were murdered. How could that possibly put me in a looney mood?"
Babs didn't know what to say. She didn't want to risk upsetting Buster even more than he already was.
"But.. we've got to keep going." He continued. "We'll find a way to clear our names. Maybe if we go to the Warner Brothers headquarters, the people at WB could vouch for us."
"That's a great idea." Babs replied in a reassuring voice. "But with our boat destroyed, what are we going to use?"
They noticed a large tank nearby. It would be perfect for defences against everything including Retnuh. They got into the tank and tried to start it, only for the engine to constantly make spluttering noises.
"How do you start this thing?!" Buster exclaimed in agitation.
He pounded on the controls of the tank, causing them to speed backwards. Babs looked out of the tank and saw that they were fastly approaching a cliff. As Babs started screaming, Buster looked out, saw the cliff, and started screaming as well. That was when Babs got an idea. She took a hold of Buster's arms and started spinning her ears like helicopter blades. She managed to safely airlift herself and Buster out of the tank just before it went off the cliff.
"Who even leaves a tank out in the open?" Babs asked.
The two rabbits were enamoured in the breathtaking view.
"That's a lot of trees." Buster commented.
"Hey, I know how we can get our minds off what we found out." Babs informed. "If we don disguises, we could have a bit of fun in various places. Although we'll need to disguise ourselves so that even Retnuh won't be able to recognise us."
"I've got an idea." Buster informed as Babs flew down to the ground via her ears.
Once they have landed, Buster spun around and was wearing the same drag attire he wore in "Two-Tone Town".
"Now you try." He said.
"What am I supposed to wear?" Babs asked.
The two rabbits pondered between them. As they pondered, various seasons passed. Autumn, snowfalls, rain showers, intense heat, until finally, it came to Babs.
"I know!" She said.
She spun around and was wearing her attire from "The Amazing Three".
"I mean, not much people recognised me when I wore this." She explained.
"Perfect." Buster replied. "We'll be two young women looking for a good time around the areas outside of ACME Acres."
The two, on their way to the WB headquarters, came across a town where the residents were more than welcoming. What they thought was two beautiful women were actually two rabbits in disguise.
"May we do anything for you two gorgeous women?" Asked one of the restaurant owners.
"Well, me and my good friend... erm... Barbara here we're looking for somewhere to rest our feet." Buster said in a fake feminine voice.
Babs wanted to tell Buster not to call her that but knew that she couldn't blow their cover.
"That's right, Betty." Replied Babs, who was also speaking on a fake feminine voice.
The people of the town accommodated them with massage chairs and a smorgasbord of food. Just as the two were enjoying themselves, they heard a wolf-whistle. The whistler was none other than Retnuh himself.
"Hello, ladies." Retnuh greeted, growling in a romantic way.
Buster and Babs could feel the sweat dripping from their heads and going down their bodies.
"It... it's him!" Babs whispered to Buster.
"Just keep up the act." Buster whispered back, as Retnuh walked towards them.
"Have either of you ever been with a hunter?" Retnuh asked, romantically.
Neither Buster nor Babs knew what to say. What neither of them realised is that their sweat was melting their makeup.
"Oh... erm..." Said Buster, trying hard to stay talking in his fake feminine voice. "We were... busy with the... mile high club?"
"How about you hang out with me and I can show you how I make attractive women take a shine to me?" Offered Retnuh, grinning as he was discarding the toothpick in his teeth and replacing it with another one.
At this point, the two rabbits were sweating so much that their makeup completely melted from their faces and leaked down their outfits to the floor.
"Aw man!" Buster groaned. "This is dry-clean only!"
Gone was Retnuh's romantic tone, now he was talking like he just scored big.
"Gotcha now, bunnies!" He exclaimed. "Thought you could lead me on like that?! Well Retnuh here knows his ways around tricksters!"
He lunged at the two rabbits, who hopped over him and ran out of the town just before he could grab them.
"I'll get them!" Retnuh said to himself. "Then they'll end up like their mommy and daddies."
Meanwhile, the rabbits ran at least fifty miles from the town, and were on the brink of collapsing from exhaustion. Retnuh must be the most dangerous and ruthless threat either of them have ever faced. More than Gene Splicer, more than Gotcha Grabmore, and without any exaggeration, even more than Montana Max.
"Babs..." Buster panted. "What can we possibly do?! This is Retnuh! The deadliest toon hunter and killer that ever there was!"
"Get a hold of yourself, Buster!" Babs yelled, slapping Buster across the face. "We're going to solve this! We're gonna go to WB headquarters, and they're going to help clear our names!"
"What is even the point of that anymore?!" Buster yelled. "I mean, it's not like the studio is up ahead!"
Just as Buster made his reply, they happened to glance at a nearby building which happened to be the WB headquarters.
"Well whatta ya know?" Babs shrugged. "Come on, Buster."
Buster, who was still overcome with grief and shock, picked himself up and walked with Babs into the building. But once inside the studio, the place was deserted. In one of the hallways was a room that read: "Special room for Buster and Babs!"
"Look, Buster!" Babs exclaimed. "They made a room for us!"
"Hold on, Babs!" Buster interjected. "The place is deserted and that room has a label that wasn't there before. Doesn't that sound a bit suspicious to you?"
"You're exaggerating." Babs shrugged. "Now come on, who knows what's in that room."
"Babs, seriously!" Buster replied. "We should look around the place to see if anyone is here."
"How about this?" Babs replied. "Why don't you look around the place while I..."
Babs gave the impression that she was going to finish her sentence, instead she just farted into the room.
"Babs!" Buster yelled, before sighing in exasperation. "I guess I could look around to see if anyone's here."
As Buster searched the building, Babs examined the room. There was a large and wide table and empty chairs. In the middle of the wide table was a large revolving chair that was facing the opposite direction.
"I've been expecting you, Babs." Said a familiar voice.
The chair spun around, revealing Steven Spielberg in the chair.
"Steven!" Babs happily exclaimed, leaping onto Steven's lap.
"How's my number one pink bunny?" Steven asked.
"We've been framed, Steven!" Babs exclaimed. "We've been framed for ruining the peace between Disney and WB and now Retnuh is hunting us down and he's trying to kill us!"
"Oh, I know all about that." Chuckled Steven, much to Babs' confusion. "That's why I made this room for you and Buster."
Babs was about to ask what Steven meant, when Steven stood from the chair and revealed himself to be Retnuh disguised as Steven! Babs was just about to call out to Buster when a thick wooden baseball bat switched her lights out.
Meanwhile, Buster was still looking around the building for other people.
"Come on!" He called out. "This isn't hide and seek!"
Suddenly, he heard muffled yelling coming from a nearby supply closet. He opened the door and saw, much to his horror, WB employees tied up with duct tape covering their mouths. He removed the tape off one of them.
"Retnuh did this!" The worker exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Buster panicked. "BABS!"
Buster dashed into the room Babs went to to discover Retnuh hurling the unconscious Babs into a helicopter.
"Come and get her, bunny boy!" Retnuh goaded, leaping into the helicopter.
As the helicopter flew away, Buster leapt out of the building and gave chase. When Babs woke up, she was tied up with her body in a burlap sack with her head sticking out.
"Good, you're awake." Retnuh said, sinisterly. "I have a bit of news to tell ya, Barbara Ann? I'm the one who framed ya! I disguised myself as the pair of ya and vandalised those Disney headquarters so I'd have more of a reason to hunt ya down! But not to worry, I'll sing you a song to soothe your pain!"
Retnuh got out his guitar and began singing Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. And Babs didn't enjoy a second of it.
Prepare for a lot of stuff in the next chapter.
