CHAPTER 7: CHAOS, MAYHEM, AND CONFUSION
"He's gaining! He's gaining!" Dot yelled at the top of her lungs.
The three Warners were in the streets of Burbank running from none other Ralph the guard. Yakko looked back at Ralph.
He turned to the readers. "Well that's a first-"
THUD!
Screeching to a halt they all look back. Poor Ralph had crashed right into a pole. With a dazed expression he then fell backwards with another loud thud making the Warners cringe.
Yakko shrugged. "I stand corrected."
With a burst of speed they rushed off before the big guy could wake up. They hurried down several blocks before making a sharp turn to their left behind a building. One by one their heads poked out looking back and forth for Ralph, but he was nowhere to be seen. They then went back behind the building. Yakko turned to Wakko and Dot with a smile.
"Looks like we finally lost him."
Wakko then pulled out an empty bag labeled candy. "Can we go to the candy shop? I'm out."
Yakko put a hand to his chin in thought. "Well if we push back seeing Da Vinci and come back for the seven o'clock show at the theaters ahhhhh then yes!"
Wakko was going to shout for joy, but something rather loud interrupted him.
BOOM!
The Warners shook as the ground rumbled due to the noise. After they gained their balance they looked to each other.
"What was that?" Dot asked.
Yakko tapped is chin in thought. "I think it's-"
BOOM!
The second time the noise went off it seemed to be even closer than the first and shook the ground violently. The Warners fell to the ground due to all the rumbling and in the distance they heard faint screaming and hysterics. Yakko shook his head of the daze.
"If I'm not mistaken that sounds a lot like explosions."
Wakko looked to him. "What makes you so sure?"
"After Slappy's rampage it's not that hard to forget what five tons of dynamite sounds like." He said matter of factly.
"Oh yeah. I remember that day." Wakko said in realization. He then held onto his ears with a grimace. "I had ringing in my ears for two days."
Dot huffed. "If only Slappy hadn't destroyed the shopping malls."
At that another explosion rang out. This one was much closer. Once the shaking of the ground stopped they got to their feet. There were confused looks on their faces as they heard laughter in the distance. They turned to each other shrugging and then zoomed to the scene.
Only getting two feet onto the new street where the explosions had taken place did they screech to a halt. The entire block was in utter chaos. Numerous stores had their windows blown from the inside while others remained as rubble. Thick smoke hung in the air making the Warners cough as it reached over to where they stood. As Yakko waved away the smoke from him, his ear perked up.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
No need to be told twice what that was! Without another thought Yakko quickly dropped him and his siblings to the ground. The building next to them exploded with glass shattering onto the pavement below and random bricks flying here and there. People who were still around began screaming and running off the scene. When the explosion had passed Yakko lifted himself up shaking off the pieces of rubble that had fallen on him.
"Everyone alright?" He asked.
"I will be when you stop crushing me!" Dot yelled under the weight of her brother.
Yakko rolled his eyes. "Well that answers my question."
The Warners got to their feet dusting off the soot and piece of rubble off them. At the sound of laughter they looked up. Through the thick smoke and among the panicking people did the silhouettes show through. Once the smoke cleared enough for the figures to be seen did the Warners look in shock.
Emerging from the smoke came a laughing Zekko, a grinning Gekko, and sweet smiling Shayna. Not that the Warners knew though. Zekko looks to his brother slapping him on the back.
"Now that was the best I've seen from you little bro!" Zekko exclaimed.
Gekko smiled widely twirling a stick of dynamite in his hand like a baton. "All in a day's work."
Shayna gave a cough swatting at the lingering smog. "Ugh, couldn't your work be a little more clean?"
She made a face. "Coughing is not adorable."
Gekko scowled stuffing the dynamite stick inside his jacket.
"You call that face adorable? I've seen more beauty on a fire hydrant." He sneered with a grin.
Shayna shot him a murderous glare. "You. Take. That. Back!"
Gekko got in her face and smirked. "No."
Zekko stepped in between them looking annoyed. "Alright enough you two. I didn't break us out to be snapping at each other's necks ya hear?"
Gekko and Shayana huffed crossing their arms.
"Yeah." Shayna said half heartedly.
"Fine." Gekko said with a frown.
Zekko rolled his eyes. "Wonderful cooperation you guys."
He toon then looked to his right where he did a double take. A grin creeped up on his face.
"Well, well...we've got company." Zekko sneered.
"Huh?" Gekko and Shayan said.
Soon all three toons were looking in the same direction as Zekko. There was surprise on the younger toons' faces seeing who was yards away. Just the same, but in shock, were Yakko, Wakko, and Dot looking in their direction. Wakko's gaze was locked on the toon look alike, Gekko, who in return morphed his surprise expression into a sinister grin.
"Oooh. Looks like the harvest is ready for the picking." Gekko chuckled deviously. "I'm always up for some fresh meat."
Dot's gaze locked onto Shayna's. The little toon then turned her surprise into a smug smile.
"Not even half as adorable as I am. That right Zekko?" She asked sweetly looking to her older brother.
Zekko's own gaze was locked onto Yakko's. Zekko had a mad grin on his face, eyes shining in some unknown light.
"My dear Shayna, there is no one as adorable as you are." Zekko said addressing his sister.
He then turned his gaze back to Yakko, a wild smile creeping on his face. "I can't wait to see how this will turn out."
WHOOOOOP! WHOOOOOP!
At the sound of police sirens did all the toons snap their attention to the source. From around the corner of the block did police cars come rushing in.
Zekko scowled. "Oh! These guys ruin everything!"
Gekko tugged on his brother's sleeve. "They're coming this way!"
Zekko realized the same thing. "Oh shoot! Run!"
Grabbing hold of both his siblings hands, Zekko rushed off as the police cars were gaining. With the help of toon speed did the three toons get a head start and zoom off. The Warners quickly rushed to the sidewalk and watched as the three toons zipped by with the police on their tails.
"Who are those guys Yakko?" Wakko said still in surprise at the beginning chase.
"No idea Wak, but…" Yakko looked off to the distance where the chase was beginning to go out of sight. "...unless we want answers we might have to go after them."
All in agreement they zipped off after the police chase.
Zekko, pulled both Gekko and Shayna through the on going traffic, easily dodging the speeding cars and walking pedestrians on the streets. Horns honked at them and people shouted, but Zekko barely paid attention to any of that. His focus was getting them away from those police. Sure with a couple toon tactics here and there they could slip by, but he wasn't risking the chance of getting caught.
No way I'm letting that happen. Zekko thought determined.
As Zekko looked behind him, he scowled seeing the police force had been joined with more squat cars. Holding onto his sibs' hands tighter, he put on another burst of speed and like a blur they zoomed through traffic.
A officer from inside one of the cars saw this. He brought the radio to his mouth.
"We need back up!" He yelled into the radio. "Cut the criminals off at the other side! I repeat we need back up!"
Zekko turned hastily to another corner before screeching to a stop. Both Gekko and Shayna bumped into him when he did. Before them police cars were racing down the street towards them. Zekko took a step back before sharply turning around, running with his sibs in toll. No sooner did he get three yards forward he screeched to a stop more police cars had blocked the other side of the street. Zekko looked around for another way out, but both sides were filled with police cars.
They had been cornered.
Almost all at once did multiple policemen come out of their cars and several were armed pointing their weapons at the toons in case they tried anything. As this happened did the Warners arrive on the scene and were pretty shocked to see all these police on the scene. That and the fact they looked ready to shoot at the toons they had cornered. From another police car did a man, who looked to be the chief of the police force, came out and have a megaphone in his hand. Lifting it up to his mouth it squeaked a bit before his voice came booming out.
"Zekko Warner you and your siblings are under arrest. For the destruction of multiple buildings and influencing havoc among the citizens of Burbank you three are to come in quietly with us."
Zekko let his siblings go and crossed his arms, grinning. "Now aren't we being a bit much?"
The toon then pulled out a tea pot and cup. He poured some tea into the cup smiling smugly.
"Why don't we talk about this over a small cup of tea. You seem like a reasonable man." Zekko quipped taking a sip.
The chief didn't look pleased. "This can go either way. I suggest you chose the easy way."
Zekko threw the cup behind him where it landed with a crash. Making the tea pot disappear he then smirked at the chief.
"Then you must be out of your mind." Zekko said giggling. "And they call me crazy!"
Shayna and Gekko both grinned as Zekko laughed in his maniac way. In this moment did several things happen. One the Warners looked to each other shocked at the fact the chief had used their surname when addressing the toon they assumed was Zekko. Another thing was the chief only frowned. He then glanced over to one of the squat cars which had another officer preparing what looked to be a tranquilizer gun. Once the officer had it ready he aimed towards the toons, waiting for the signal. The chief nodded before facing the toons.
"Then you leave us no choice." He said through the megaphone.
Zekko had stopped laughing and looked at the chief smugly. "Oh no choice is that right? Such a cliche threat there chief. Surely you could do better than that-"
"OW!" Gekko shrieked.
Abruptly stopping in the middle of his sentence Zekko, along with Shayna looked to their brother. Face fixed into a grimace, Gekko then lifted his tail to face him. At the end of it was a dart with a pink fluffy end.
"Ooh..." Gekko moaned. "...that's not gooood…."
"GEKKO!" Both Zekko and Shayna shouted as their brother swayed and crumbled to the ground.
Before either could get to him, the chief signaled the officer and he let out another shot. Shayna shrieked as the next dart hit her leg. Zekko quickly caught her before she fell to the ground.
"Shayna wake up!" Zekko frantically shouted as his sister then fell unconscious.
Anger then boiled in Zekko. With rage shining in his eyes he shot a murderous glare to the chief. Even the chief back away seeing this. At that step back did Zekko break out into a wild smile.
"Never a good idea to move away when in the line of fire chief." Zekko snarled grinning like a madman.
When it looked like Zekko would pounce at the chief the officer with the tranquilizer gun quickly shot out another dart. Zekko hissed falling to his knees. He gripped the side of his arm feeling it getting heavier with every second. He turned and saw the dart sticking out from his arm.
"Oh no…" Zekko groaned as his vision went black.
The toon crumbled to the ground along with his already unconscious siblings. As soon as the three psychotic toons were down did the officers hurry to get the toons under arrest. The Warners watched with shocked eyes as all this went on. None of them could think why this was happening, but they didn't need to. Before anyone could do a thing to stop what happened next the officer with the tranquilizer gun saw the Warners. Thinking they were with the psychotic toons he did exactly what he did with the others.
"OW!" Wakko shouted.
"OW!" Dot shrieked.
"OW!" Yakko yelled.
They all looked to see a dart had been shot into their arms.
The officer looked to his partners. "There's three more over here!"
None of the Warners could avoid the overwhelming effects of the darts. Each of them fell to the ground unable to make sense of what was going on. Wakko and Dot soon fell unconscious, Yakko was the last one to fall. As he began to pass out the last thing he saw were the rushing officers at them and those three toons being dragged away as well. Then everything went black.
NO! What is going to happen Warners? Will this turn out alright? Will Wakko ever get his candy bag refilled?! So please review and until next time the Queen has left the building! :) Bye!
