CHAPTER 9: IMPOUNDED (PART 2)
"Wakko…Wakko…WAKKO WAKE UP ALREADY!"
Wincing at the loud shriek to his ears, Wakko began waking from his groggy state. He groaned slightly as a dull throbbing awakened in his head as he tried opening his eyes. Wakko could feel he was being lifted up by both arms and maybe by two different people. Allowing himself to be pulled up he wobbly got to his feet.
"Gods is he that weak?" A deep liverpool accent, even deeper than his, muttered loud enough for Wakko to hear.
"Gekko cut the guy some slack." Another feminine voice called out, but it didn't sound like Dot's. "He just woke from a tranquilizer dart."
A low growl came from Wakko's left. "Hey so did I and I don't see any of you giving me special treatment."
"The only special treatment you need is a smack upside the head." The feminine voice retorted.
Wakko winced as the grip on his left arm tightened.
"You're just asking for it aren't you sis?" The accented voice snarled.
"Quit using my brother as your stress ball and help me get him to that chair!" A voice to Wakko's right ordered.
Yep that's Dot alright. Wakko thought.
He was a jolted from his small daze as he felt himself being dragged and then placed onto a hard seat. Wakko slowly shook his head and then opened his eyes. He squinted against the light in the room before finally getting his eyes to open. His gaze first landed on his concerned sister.
"You okay Wakko?" She asked.
"Uh yeah...I guess so." He rasped out.
"Good." She said before then punching his arm.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Wakko complained feeling more awake as he rubbed his arm.
Dot scowled. "For nearly scaring me half to death! You wouldn't wake up!"
Someone to Wakko's left scoffed.
"Not the most scariest thing out there."
Wakko glanced to his left and felt his eyes widen. In front of him was a toon that looked so much like him, it was like looking in a mirror. Well if the mirror could change the clothing of your reflection and make them shoot back a mean grin as you looked towards them.
"That bed hair for example could make grown men cry." Gekko sneered.
Wakko looked up and saw his fur was in a tangled mess. Giving the toon a glare for his comment, to which Gekko just smirked at, Wakko took his cap off and fixed his hair. As he put his cap back on he watched as another toon came up from behind Gekko. Wakko was able to take in how much this girl toon looked a lot like his sister Dot before she then smacked the back of Gekko's head.
"OW!" Gekko yelped.
Wakko leaned away from the toon as he made a deep and threatening growl emit from the back of throat and then got in the toon girl's face.
"What is your problem?!" He demanded.
She grinned batting her eyelashes at him.
"Now big brother are you going to get mad at this face?" She asked sweetly.
Gekko scowled getting further into her face. "That 'face' is the perfect example of the butt end to a bad joke!"
She dropped the act and scowled back. "I can say the same for your sense of humor."
She pushed her brother to the side and he backed off looking pretty ticked off. Gekko made strangling motions behind her back and she looked back as he then huffed and crossed his arms.
"Shayna if you weren't my sister I'd pound you." Gekko threatened.
Shayna grinned. "As if you'd do such a thing. I'd win that match with one hand tied behind my back."
"You little-" Gekko cut himself off and then seethed in his own anger. Stuffing his hands into his jacket pockets he stomped off grumbling the entire way.
As Wakko watched him go off he then took in his surroundings. He made a face.
When did we get pulled back in the Baloney show?! Wakko thought in horror seeing the place around him.
It took him five seconds to realize that this was not, thankfully, Baloney's show. The place looked a lot like it's set though. The walls were painted with bright yellow as a band of pink went across the middles of them. Unlike that set for the show this place had a giant ball pit in the middle of the room with two swings above on a bar. To the right Wakko could see two separate beds. One was covered in purple sheets with a giant fluffy pillow on the bed frame as the one a few feet away was covered in green sheets and for some reason was covered in robot parts. That's where Gekko stomped off towards and snatched a lone robot toy sitting on the bed. The toon had begun tampering with the robot until he stopped and looked back to see Wakko was watching. Wakko looked confused as the toon smirked in his direction. Gekko pointed to Wakko before pointing to the small robot. Placing both hands on the ends of the toy he then broke it in half with a mad grin.
Wakko gulped. Gekko snickered loudly before tossing the broken robot behind him.
"Just ignore him."
Wakko looked to the direction of the voice and saw Shayna giving Gekko a glare. He scowled and then turned his back on her putting his attention towards the robots on his bed. Shayna returned her gaze to Wakko.
"He's just a jerk most of the times." Shayna remarked.
"No really?" Dot drawled. "I thought he was just the most splendid guy ever."
Shayna scowled. "Hey you can't call him a jerk! Only I can do that!"
"Mind lowering the volume?" Wakko asked as he rubbed his aching ears.
"Oh sorry." Shayna apologized seeing Wakko wince. She frowned. "Headache?"
He nodded and she gave a nod of acknowledgement. "Don't worry about it. It goes away."
"Oh so you comfort the freak, but not your own brother?!"
"SHUT UP GEKKO!" Shana shrieked glaring in her brother's direction.
"MAKE ME!" He yelled back.
Shayna growled, seething in anger before then crossing her arms. "Not worth my time."
"Wimp." Gekko muttered loud enough for everyone to hear before going back to his robots.
"I'll repeat what I said before." Dot began. "He's a jerk."
"He's not a jerk!" Shayna protested. "Just stubborn."
"Why do you defend him?" Wakko asked looking to Gekko. The toon in question was grumbling angrily while dismantling the robots he had with him. Once again catching Wakko's gaze, Gekko glared at him and then crushed the robot head in his hand.
"He's so mean." Wakko rasped hoping that little robot head wasn't supposed to be him.
Shayna crossed her arms and scoffed. "Gekko's just venting. It'll pass."
"What's he so mad about?" Dot asked.
Shayna wrinkled her nose in dislike. "...it's not important."
Wakko then realized something. "Wait...where's Yakko?"
Dot's eyes then widened in realization. "Where is Yakko?"
"Probably far from you losers."
Wakko and Dot both snapped their heads to Gekko's direction. Under their glares he snorted.
"Hey if you can't handle the truth then don't ask." Gekko said. He began twisting a robot arm piece onto the body of the robot in his hand. "I bet that brother of yours is off somewhere having the times of his life and letting you two rot in this cell."
Gekko chuckled dryly. "Life just sucks doesn't it?"
"Gekko." Shayna warned.
"Yakko wouldn't do that!" Dot protested.
Gekko scoffed. "You see him here?"
Before Dot could say a thing he smirked. "Didn't think so...some brother-"
"Gekko!"
Gekko shot a glare to his sister. "What?! I'm just being realistic here and they should know that shouldn't they?"
"Know what?" Wakko couldn't help, but ask. Although he felt like he wouldn't like the answer.
That got Gekko to look at him. A mixture of disgust and a small amount of pity showed on the toon's face. Gekko snorted and returned his gaze to the robot in his hand.
"That your brother's never coming."
"What?!" Wakko and Dot shouted in disbelief.
"Better believe it and don't you dare Shayna try and prove me wrong!" Gekko said cutting a glance to his steaming sister.
"Gekko you really are a jerk! A stupid pig headed jerk!" Shayna yelled.
Her voice tainted with anger. Wakko could've sworn Gekko winced at her yelling, even for a split millisecond showing hurt on his face before switching to a murderous glare. Gekko abruptly stood from his bed and stomped right over to Shayna.
"Oh so now I'm the jerk?!" Gekko yelled right back making Shayna inch back. "Tell me right now what makes me such a jerk. Go on and tell me!"
"That you don't trust our brother! You don't trust Zekko!" She shot back instantly anger burning in her eyes.
Wakko and Dot stared at the two realizing the name Shayna had said. They were talking about that other toon. The one they had seen trying to lunge himself at the police chief before getting hit with one of those darts. That was their brother?
Gekko only grew more angry. "And why should I?"
"He's our brother Gekko." Shayna hissed. "He cares about us!"
Gekko looked at her like she was crazy and then laughed darkly. "Cares? He cares?!"
"Yes he does!" Shayna yelled back trying to defend their brother.
Gekko scowled. "He doesn't care Shayna. So why the hell should their brother-" He pointed to Wakko and Dot. "-be any different?!"
"Don't you use that language with me!" Shayna scolded.
"Hell with it!" Gekko shouted stomping his foot. "I can say whatever I want and I don't need to listen to some stupid eleven year old who still believes precious brother Zekko's gonna be the knight in shining armor and take us from this damn place! I WON'T HAVE IT!"
Gekko snapped his head from his seething sister to Wakko and Dot.
"And you two..." He chuckled darkly and dryly. "Enjoy the rest of your lives here because no one's leaving and if you think that brother of yours is coming…."
He shook his head laughing as it was some sick joke. "...you guys are more crazy then we are."
Gekko's laughter dried up and he stuffed his hands into his pockets. As he walked away he only sneaked one glance to Shayna. His look of anger faltered for a second. Shayna's eyes were welled up, but no tears were breaking free. Gekko looked like he would have stopped, but then his expression hardened and he resumed his walk to the far side of the room, away from everyone.
"Wakko…"
Wakko turned and saw Dot looking at him. There was this fear on her face that he didn't like the slightest bit.
"...Yakko's coming right?" She asked timidly.
Seeing her like that Wakko reached out a hand for her to come closer and she did. Dot didn't hesitate when Wakko pulled her into a hug. She only returned it.
"He'll come. " Wakko reassured her. "Gekko doesn't know Yakko like we do. He'll come."
Dot nodded and hugged Wakko tighter. She hadn't like what Gekko said. Neither did Wakko. As the two hugged in silence Shayna glanced at them. The only emotion on her face was of longing. She turned her glassy eyes towards her brother. He was climbing up the bar above the ball pit. With a swing of his legs he hung upside down on the bar facing the wall and not any of them. Shayna sighed with a shaky breath. Gekko only did that when he was upset. It happened so often now she wasn't sure if her brother was there anymore. Instead this quiet and emotionless toon stood in his place. Tightly closing her eyes, holding her enclosed hands to her chest.
"They better be right…" Shayna whispered, hoping their fate would not follow the one Gekko had already put himself towards.
A life of solitude.
Will the Warners ever get back together? Is Gekko right about what he said? Can this simple questionnaire gain reviews?! Until next time your Queen has spoken and she's left the building! Bye! :)
