| {Fade to later as three carts drive through the studio, which the good
guys are driving. Music much like the one from "Hearts of Twlight" is playing,
and the same voice from that ep is singing} Voice:{Singing}This, is the middle, is the middle of our story. The middle. The middle. Yakko: Boy, pretty refreshing to have an gag of ours not ruined. Buster: We must be pretty close to the studio by now, right Shirl? Shirley: How right you are, I can see that Speedy Gonzales has, like, gotten there already.{She sees a small figure, obviously Speedy, jumping far away}Heh, I actually figured that out with my smarts and not the stars, that's pretty cool. {The carts stop right in front of the studio from "Hearts of Twlight" now no longer looking like the jungle it once was} Mr Director: Ah, the memories of this old place, it could only be more nostalgic if my former worshippers were here, especially that creepy guy that looked like that crazy Hopper actor. Dot: This is probably the first time a Hopper lookalike hasn't appeared when we reference that movie. Let's go inside and not risk that changing. {They walk inside the studio, but it is completely empty} Pinky: Hello?{No answer}Oh, drat. Brain: Mad that Doom didn't answer? Pinky: No, because I didn't hear any of those echoes that sound so funny and scary, ha ha! Yakko: Oh Mr judge! We have what you want now, you can come and take them and let us get back to our joke filled lives! Voice: Good going, it appears we finally found something that you toons are good at other than non wholesome behavior! Slappy: Oh great, I'd know that critical tone anywhere. Hello Dr Laura.{Dr Laura appears} Dr Laura: Hello, destroyer of children's morals with your explosive problem solving tactics. Skippy: I'd watch it before she gives you an example of those tactics if I were you. Dot: Oy, don't tell us you're working for Doom, Doc. Dr Laura: I have good news, I'm not working for Doom.{Everyone sighs}No, I'm working _with_ him, not for him! And now see the benefits of joining forces with someone like him. Prepare to meet my...Burbank based ninja thugs!{The trademark ninja thug legion comes in} Axel: I guess the judge isn't as [bleep] original as he claims to be if he sent these [bleeping] thugs after us again. Dr Laura: Don't make that conclusion yet until you first see this.{The ninjas each pull out large laser like weapons}And second, stand still to witness what our new toys can do. {The ninjas aim their weapons, but before they shoot them, a shrill voice interrupts them} Voice: Mousies, there you are!{Elmyra rushes in}That game of hide and seek was fun, I can't wait to get home and play mousie paddleball, mousie slingshot, and air mice again!{She goes towards a frightened Brain, Pinky, and Billie} Dr Laura:{Dry}Dip her first, at least no one will miss her. {The three mice get free from Elmyra's grasp, but before she tries to get them back, a ninja fires his gun, which shoots Dip all over Elmyra. Of course she just stares vapidly, not knowing what this means, until she starts to fade away and then disappear. Everyone gasps and runs away except for Brain} Brain: Hmm, this is most confusing, one I could react happily that Elmyra can't take us back ever again, but I don't like to actually celebrate someone's demise, not even hers.{Sees the ninjas in front of him}And I can't decide on what to feel if I don't run before I join her! {He runs away. We now see everyone has split up. In one area, a ninja stands in front of the Warners} Wakko: Quick, what gags of ours haven't been foiled yet that we can use? Ninja: How about the one where your years of insanity permanently end?! Yakko: Ahhh...you know I'll bet you're a pretty good runner, why don't we run away right now so we can find out? {The three turn, but before they run they see a ninja right behind them and jump in surprise} Dot: Ahh, they got us with our most infamous gag!! Ninja: Hah hah, that was too great to resist! Almost as great as seeing the bosses congratulate us when we get rid of you three. Wakko: Why don't you take the suggestion my brother gave you a second earlier? Allow us to start that out for you. {They run. Nearby, another ninja has cornered Roger and Bugs} Ninja: Hmm, my friends over there are better at saying dramatic end lines before getting rid of the good guys, so I'll just end it for you right now. Jessica: Wait, Mr Ninja! Please spare my husband and his friends from being dipped...if you do I can make it worth your while.{Just then goggles are placed onto the ninja's eyes} Ninja: Ahh! Get that ugly woman away from me, get her away! Bugs: I never thought it would be possible, but thugs have actually reached an all time high in stupidity judging from his reaction towards her.{Brain climbs on the frigtened ninja's shoulder} Brain: And these goggles are the culprit! After they got put on they apparently replaced the critically acclaimed image of Mrs Jessica with an image of someone a million times ugler, so he can't be affected by her talents. Fifi:{Walking in}Don't worry, my friends, I shall create a, how you say, distraction to fix zhat problem in my own unique way.{She turns around and points her tail at the ninja like a weapon until Babs runs in} Babs: Fifi, wait! Remember the Horror of Slumber Party Mountain episode where your talents were thrown right back at you by "One Eyed Jack"? With these guys ability to turn around jokes at our expense, what's to stop him from doing the same thing? Fifi: Sacre blu, I'm zertainly glad you told me before I got started.{Looks at the ninja}Zhen again, I could be wrong on zhat last part. {We see a gas cloud hovering in front of the ninja, but he's wearing noseplugs, worse yet he then gets out a small fan, turns it on, and the cloud turns back on Fifi} Fifi:{Dazed}I have been skunked!{While she's almost out, the ninja gets out his gun, shoots it, and the Dip covers her and makes her disappear. Babs is outraged} Babs:{Mad}Okay, ninja boy, I suggest that after that dipicide of my friend, you call the cemetery for reservations before I do this!! {She jumps at him and before we see what she does, we go to Axel facing three more ninjas} Axel: Should I really be scared of you [bleepers] I'm not a cartoon, so Dip can't kill me. Ninja: We know, we know, but that doesn't mean we don't have other ways to take care of you! {Before they demonstrate what these means are, Miss Info walks by followed by the other H! stars like a tour group} Miss Info: Stay with me people, we're walking, and we're stopping at one of the many battle scenes in this formerly deserted studio. Next to me are three evil ninjas, who are facing very unlikely odds in their battle against one of the most famous movie detectives of recent years{Axel grins confidently}John Shaft! Axel:{Enraged}WHAT?!! You [bleep] crazy woman, I am not John Shaft, I am Axel [bleeping] Foley of the De[bleeping]troit police! Where'd you get the idea that I was Samuel L [bleeping] Jackson or Richard [bleep] Roundtree anyway?! Miss Info: Well, you're both black, and you both have very active potty mouths. Am I right in those "coincedences"? Axel: Well, I guess so, but.. Miss Info: Case closed then, Mr Shaft. All right, we're moving on people, we have several more battles to witness.{She and the others leave} Ninja: Wow, now there's someone with a few screws loose. Ninja 2: Maybe she's not that knowledgeable about movies to make that accusation about who he is. Ninja 3: She would have to be if he mistook him for Shaft, and frankly I'm offended that she could mistake that crazy guy over there for a great detective like him. {While the ninjas continue to debate and Axel continues to stew over that recent crack about him, three figures come up behind the ninjas, one much smaller than the other. Daffy ties up the first ninja, Speedy runs around the other ninja's leg and when he stops, they are tied together, while Slappy just blows up the last one} Axel: Oh, oh I get it, that case of mistaken identity was just a distraction to blow those [bleep] tasteless baddies up! I knew it all along, I mean who could possibly in their right mind not recognize who I am because I'm just as great as Shaft or all those [bleeping] knockoffs! And I know Slappy's probably going to say she'll send me to outer space with that kind of talk, so I'll just shut up now for once. {Somewhere else, two ninjas are calling out to Sylvester, hiding behind a crate} Ninja: Oh Sylvester, could you come out here, we have a special present for you, your favorite untasted meal of all time, the birdie!{He is holding Tweety in his fist} Sylvester: Oh please, I know your trick, once I come out and try to eat him you'll dip us both! For the first time ever, I'm actually not going to chase that bird. Tweety: That's not true, you've twied to not eat me before and it didn't work. I guess you puddy tats have no self control, we birds must taste pwetty good if you go through all that to catch me, and I must weally be delicious if you've still been trying for 50 years. Sylvester: That's right, you are! Aw, what the hey, if I gotta go, I'm gonna go on a full stomach! Tweety: I guess that kid isn't the only one who's got a big mouth. {Sylvester runs into view and the ninja lets go of Tweety, but almost immediately Sylvester grabs him} Sylvester: I did it, I did it, I'm finally gonna eat that bird, ah ha ha! Tweety: Um, you might want to look in front of you to prove that wrong.{Sylvester sees the ninjas in front of him about to fire} Sylvester: Suffering succotash, I live for chasing birds, and now I'm gonna die for chasing birds. Tweety: I think we all get the irony by now, puddy tat. {The ninjas shoot their Dip, covering them both, and they disappear. Nearby, another ninja corners Skippy, but before he can shoot his gun at him, Loud speaks} Loud: HEY MR NINJA, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE!!{The ninja comes toward him} Ninja: Hey, what was with the ear splitting yelling there, what do you want?! Loud: Oh, I just wanted to tell you that your former ninja master has just entered the lot, and he isn't too happy about your associating with evil people like this. He plans to give you quite a tounge lashing, I heard. Ninja: Oh great, after 10 years of worrying about this happening, it finally does just as I stop! Well, at least I have some time to think about some excuses to give to Mr Morita before I see him. I gotta get out of here before he sees me, bye!{He runs away} Skippy: Phew, thanks for saving me with that distraction. Loud: No problem. Say, I just realized, why does your voice sound familar to me though we've never met before, it almost sounds like the voice of a big brother. Skippy: Boy, that makes my discovery of your voice when you're not talking sounding like a little brother's all the more creepy.{While they're talking, another ninja comes behind them and prepares to shoot his gun. Charity notices this not too far away} Charity: Look out! {She runs towards the two and pushes them out of the way....but it's just as the ninja shoots the gun and by pushing them, she gets covered with Dip herself. Loud notices this just as she fades away and disappears. He can only sit there and look shocked at what has just happened to her. Dr Laura then comes back} Dr Laura: Okay, I think that's enough victory for one battle. EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING NOW!!{Everyone does} Yakko:{Out of breath}Pant, done with making our old jokes come back to haunt us? Dr Laura: Not quite yet, but there's someone that wants to talk to you before we use that joke up just like you always do. Let's go ninjas, best battle scene ever!{Dr Laura and the ninjas leave, and then Doom shows up and walks towards the exhausted toons} Doom: So, how does it feel to have your old as Father Time jokes help cause the dipping of your friends? It'll be even worse once they're permanently gone. Bugs: Permanently gone, you mean they're not already, they're still alive? Daffy: Wait a minute, Dip kills a toon, so how could it not have gotten rid of them?! Doom: First off, you don't need to disagree with everything the rabbit says. Second, it's an unfortunate flaw that my skills in making Dip have gotten rusty, so all that stuff was is prototype Dip, which doesn't kill, but sends the victim to a completely dark world to which there is no escape. But once I make the real Dip, they'll be gone soon enough. Babs: Too bad that ninja didn't tell me that before I gave him a free trip to the emergency room. Doom: But I prattle on, before we continue I just have to come over and officially greet my old "friends"{Goes over to Roger} Roger: Strange, I don't recall real friends dipping the friends they already have to a strange world, do you?! Doom: Heh, still as witty as ever, I see.{To Jessica}And I see that to the likely delight of every male in the world, nothing has changed about you, my dear. Jessica: I've acquired some tricks in the last 50 years, just continue to do stuff like this and you'll regret provoking me in doing it. Doom: I can hardly wait, and I can gleefully declare that the waiting to see my last old friend is finally over.{Goes to Eddie and speaks in the crazy voice he used at the end of Roger Rabbit}Hello there Eddie, did you miss me?! But then again you've done enough missing with your brother, don't you think?! Eddie: You know, there's only so many times you can reference tragedies like that until you pay for it big time by the hands of the target of those jokes. Right now you're 1 over that magic number! {He begins to rush towards Doom, but then Doom's left hand becomes a cartoon sword and he puts it right below Eddie's chin so he can go no further} Doom: I'm sorry, I happen to like living in the 21'st century. And I shall use more tactics like the one you just saw to keep it that way. Father Time: Before you do, could you answer the baffling question of why you're still trying to get rid of us even though we did what you asked for?! Doom: For two reasons. One, because first and foremost, I am a judge, and it's my job to dip the disobdient toons of the world. You are all members of that category, and I shall explain why. Warners, you've caused so much havoc not even the highest authority could take a bribe to pardon you, so you have to go. The squirrels have to go for their constant explosions of property and people. The three mice have tried to conquer the world, and doing it to make the world a better place is no excuse. And the Detroit cop goes for his out of control behavior and vulgar speech habits. Plotz: What about me and the director, what did we do?! Doom: Mr Director has to go for making a lot of bad movies that everyone except the French hate. And Plotz, well, I will admit that the things you've done to overpromote that Poke-something cartoon aren't too good, so that's why you're going away. Plotz: Hey, about 55-60% of those decisions about Pokemon weren't mine! Doom: Guilt by association, that's your crime. That's also why the Tiny Toons cast is going because of their association with the green duck. Plucky: Me?! What did I do, besides being hilarious and great?! Doom: I recall one time you helped a woman obsessed with clean, non violent cartoons suck the humor from everyone in ACME Acres in favor of boring, educational stuff. Though that admittedly is a good idea in some ways, sucking all the humor from everyone would have also been bad for evil toons like me, and even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be much of a victory to defeat bland, unfunny toons in our plans, would it? Plucky: Hey, it's those rabbits' fault, they had to go to Washington and make it a nationwide issue! Doom: Forgive me if I don't care. You're also guilty of having such a large ego, which is the reason the Looney Tunes gang has to go for associating with the black duck with a larger ego. Now, as for the former stars of Histeria, their crime is...{Loud grabs Doom by the collar} Loud:{Very low}Associating with me, the guy whose voice nearly led to a madman's hostile takeover of the U.S, right?! I just recently got over those accusations about me, and I'm not going through that again, and if you try, your voice while saying it will be the last thing you ever hear because of that and what you did to my girfriend! Doom: Fine, if you say so, I am well aware of your talents, and I won't awaken them by pressing the issue. Besides your friends' guilt by association charge was pretty obvious by me mentioning it twice before. Axel: Okay, we went through all the [bleeping] charges, now what's this so called second reason you have for rubbing us out? Doom: Because I am about to start a plan that will change everything you know and love forever, and I can't have you interfering once it is carried out. Eddie: And would you be so kind as to tell us what this plan is?! Doom: Oh no, I'm not making that mistake all villains in movies make, not until later. Besides, I think it would be a good chance to see if your detective skills aren't rusty by figuring it out yourself. But now I have to go and make sure you won't have much time left to do it.{Walks away laughing} Pinky: Aw, this story isn't fun anymore, this is almost as bad as seeing Kathy Glee leave Squeege, poit! Brain: I knew you had to work that in sooner or later, and now that you have, I can discuss our next course of action. Yakko: Which course, Augusta or Pebble Beach?{Pause with absolutely no one laughing}Hey, I needed to do something for laughs after that little speech. Brain: Yes, well, back to the plot.{Looks around to see if anyone's watching and then speaks}We came here originally to exact our latest plan of world conquest, and we rented a small lab to do it in. But now that our plans are shot, we will have to use that lab to hide in until we can figure out a plan to stop the judge and the ultra moral Dr Laura. Roger: Well, that should be effective, and with all the stuff you must have, it'll be funny to see Eddie's reaction to the futuristic devices you must have. Eddie: Again for those who weren't paying attention, after seeing Plotz's stuff earlier, nothing else could shock me more. But we should go to the big headed mouse's lab anyway to figure out what plan the judge is up to. At least he may be too busy working on it to bother us. {Back at Doom's hideout, Doom and Dr Laura walk in to the applause of everyone in the room, the Scientist, the agents, and the ninjas} Doom: Thank you all, our performance in that battle does deserve your praise. However that was only a battle, the war has probably just begun. Scientist: What if I were to tell you that it can all end very shortly with the devices myself and The Circle members have been discussing building? Doom: That boast has certainly got my attention, tell me more.{We see The Circle members on monitors nearby} Wally: Picture this, Mr Doom. With those toons' never give up attitude, it'll otherwise take very hard work to get rid of them. But what if we put metal collars on them that'll make them give in to us willingly? Doom: Didn't you already build collars like that when you finally captured the Brain? Big Guy: Yes, but that only paralyzed him for a while. The collars we're talking about can make it's wearer do whatever the man controlling them does, like oh say, walk into Dip and kill themselves? Dr Shale: That's right, we plan to put collars on all of them, and the Scientist will control them. And if he says that order my superior mentioned, they'll do it at the sound of his voice! Scientist: Meaning a quick and easy end to their potential meddling. Doom: Excellent, excellent, I knew I made the right choice in hiring you! Agent 1: Yes, this is fabulous. If he can make them do it tomorrow morning it would be the perfect way to start a perfect day, the day Phase 2 of your plan begins. Agent 2: Nice rhyming there to compliment the deliciously correct statement beforehand. Doom: Mr Scientist, how long exactly will it take to build these collars? Scientist: We've been going over calculations and parts for hours, with that in mind I can build the required amount by the end of the night. Doom: Good, because after you do you're going to find where they are, put the collars on, then... Scientist: Give them their last wakeup call? Yes, I know, as a scientist I am too an expert at saying those obvious end lines. However, unlike all the other ones, tomorrow morning this one shall actually come true.{Laughs ghoulishly} {Fade to later on at night inside what is obviously the lab Brain was talking about. The mice are making plans with Eddie watching them while the others are causing their usual havoc} Brain:{Calling out}Please don't break anything, this isn't mine and I have enough things on my mind without having to worry about paying the bills for that, thank you. Eddie: I must admit, there is a lot of fancy stuff you're worried about breaking. You know I found out about the movie about my first big adventure with the rabbits and Doom. Roger: Actually, it was only recovered home video from our real adventures which the creators updated for movie screens. Of course Zemenkis and his friends took the credit because everyone thought they did it themselves. Pinky: You, you mean they didn't?! Eddie: Well anyway, with all the stuff that's been going on, my life does feel like one big movie, and this is quite a little plot twist. You don't usually see detectives, of all people traveling through time in real movies. Billie: And now for the rest of this ordeal you'll probably be all amazed and confused about everything else done in the last 50 years that you haven't seen. Pinky: Yeah, that should be fun fun silly willy, troz! Eddie: The old fish out of water thing, huh? Well, that'll probably be true, I mean look at all this stuff you have, and is it really true that all these other whachamacallits were made in Japan like it says? Boy that country bounced back after the war, didn't it? But I don't want to spend too much time going over this stuff and forgetting to figure out how to get back at the judge. Brain: You may be able to do it in your sleep soon, because it looks like Speedy's done in the guest room.{We see Speedy standing in front of a door with the others watching him} Speedy: All right, senors and senoritas. Yakko: But Rita isn't here, luckily for you or she'd make you a Mexican dessert.{Again no one laughs} Speedy: You're getting worse with those jokes, Senor Yakko. Anyway, I finished the wooden beds so we can all get a good night's rest.{He opens the door to reveal several wooden beds and three rocking chairs}And some rocking chairs for the older tenants. Brain: Good, now you can rest, and tomorrow I'm teaching you brand new gags so as not to repeat what happened today, and to make sure that otherwise funny turn of events if it wasn't in a deadly situation doesn't get old too. Slappy: Trust me, you'll need plently of luck in fulfilling that mighty task. Brain: I know, but for now me, Pinky, and Billie will go back to our room out there to prepare for tomorrow. Pinky: Why, what are we gonna do tomorrow, Brain? Brain: The same thing we've done for two nights and hopefully will have to do for one more day. Try to stop Judge Doom! Sigh, that just doesn't have the zing that "Try to take over the world!" does. Billie: You know, it is pretty ironic that you always complain against old stuff when you use an old gag at the end of every night. Brain: I hate it when you corner me like that.{The mice and Eddie leave and close the door} Dot: All right, start fighting over which beds to sleep in....now!{Everyone jumps onto beds and fights for control of them} Jessica: Did you bring the the round steel wall to cover my bed so no one can come into it? Roger: Everytime we sleep in a public place, my dear wife.{While the wars continue, Father Time and Slappy are sitting in the rocking chairs} Father Time: Ah, for the overexuberance and possessive behavior of youth. These kind of things are like looking into a mirror of yourself at that age, though with me since youth was so long for, it's harder to remember. Slappy: Right, you keep droning philosophically about life, I'm going to sleep. Miss Info: Well these guys do have a lot of energy. But there's a little boy over there who's lost that very thing because of what happened today, and I'm going to see if I can get some back.{She walks to Loud who's sitting nearby not looking too happy} Loud: Oh, hello Miss Info. Miss Info: You're still pretty depressed about what happened to Charity today, aren't you? Loud: Well if you were as close to her as I am and had this happen, what else could you be?!{Pause}I'm sorry, it's just that all this is so upsetting, she's not gone, but who knows what's happening to her in that dark world Doom mentioned, and if we don't do something soon, he could very well get rid of her for good, and the others of course. Miss Info: I know, but I also know her well, and I know she wouldn't want you to stand here and mope. She'd want you to stand tall and do whatever you can to make what happened to her doesn't happen to anyone else here, and then soon enough you'll see her again alive and well. Loud: She would say something like that. Well, maybe I can get some relaxation and go to bed. Miss Info: Not over there, that area is a war zone, there's no peace or quiet anywhere. I'm going to sleep in one of those rocking chairs, and I think you should join me. Loud: Well, okay, you are good at putting me to sleep without boring me.{Miss Info sits on the last rocking chair and puts Loud on her lap} Miss Info: I do my best, and here's another example. Just think about what will happen when all this is over, you'll see her again and everything will be back to normal, or as normal as can be for us. There'll be no more worrying for you, it'll be total peace.{Loud begins to fall asleep}Right, that's exactly what I mean, just keep thinking about that moment in the future.{Whispering}Good night Loud, sleep well. Slappy: Hey, could you keep the sappy talk down a bit, I had too much of that happening when I flew over the cuckoo clock. Miss Info: Then you should be happy you weren't with us on our last big adventure, that was 100 times worse than this. Slappy: I'll go to sleep thanking myself for that. {Later on in the middle of the night, everyone is fast asleep. The door then opens a crack and the Scientist and several ninjas walk in, holding the metal collars mentioned earlier, some bigger than others. They go towards the toons and put them on their necks, of course there are nearly some mishaps in doing so. When they're finished, the Scientist takes out a remote, pushes a button, and the collars then turn invisible. He chuckles to himself as he and the ninjas leave} {Fade to first thing in the morning as the toons are waking up groggily} Babs: Boy, if it wasn't for this whole crisis thing and the fact that we should get up before the villains try something on us, I don't think I'd bring myself to get up for a week. Daffy: Why else do you think we were all fighting last night to get these things, this is almost as good as sleeping on water, but not quite. Axel:{Stretching}Ah, only 5 cricks in my bones today, that's a new [bleep] record. Hopefully we'll have other surprises today that won't be our last. {The toons walk out of the room and see the mice still working, and fully awake} Plotz: You're still working here, my goodness, do you three ever sleep? Brain: Well with all the thoughts in my head, usually for world conquest plans but today for our survival, who can sleep? I have other things to be concerned about than sleep.{A knock on the door is heard} Pepper: Looks like that knock on the door is going to be one of those things. Hey, maybe that's someone who wants to help us, let's see if it is! Bugs: That could also be one of the bad guys or girls, or it could be a good guy disgused as an evil guy, or it could be...{The door is opened and the Scientist comes in} Scientist: With this help of this handy lockpick, now you know it is a bad guy. Bugs: Say, haven't we met before? Daffy: Geez, don't you watch your own overrated cartoons, that's the scientist from that episode where you were trapped in a castle with that scary giant red monster that still gives me the creepy jeepies. Bugs: Oh, right. Say, you sound different than the last time we met, Doc. Scientist: Yes, the cult actor that used to do my voice died a decade ago, but now, much like that evil hamster in your Beanie Baby/D*sney story, I acquired a voice actor to do an accurate impersonation of me. It's not perfect, but it's the best I could hope for. Brain: Well I do compliment whoever it is for a not too bad impression of Mr Vincent Price. Buster: Wait, why are we standing around here talking, this guy was evil in the cartoons, so he must be another ally of the judge, right? Scientist: Let me answer that by solving the mystery of why your necks may be feeling funny. Yakko: Say, mine does feel strange, I almost feel like a horse pulling a carridge because we both have something on our necks. Scientist: A rather strange comparison, but it's about to be proven as the right one.{He pulls out the remote, pushes another button, and everyone freezes in place and looks like a zombie}Now, you are going to do everything I say, repeat that. Everyone:{Blandly}Now, you are going to do everything I say, repeat that. Scientist: I shouldn't be too surprised at that. Now, walk out the door, turn to the left, and walk 100 paces. {The toons walk out the door, turn and walk with the Scientist following. After they are out of sight, we see Eddie walking in, puzzled over seeing that no one's there, then he sees what's going on outside and gasps. Outside, they are still walking, and now we see not far away to the right, two ninjas are standing with a barrel of Dip} Scientist: All right, stop!{They do}Now, turn to the right and walk towards the ninjas, then stop again. {As they do, we literally go inside Brain's brain. It is obviously large, and then we see a miniature version of the Scientist standing on top of it} Scientist:{Now sounding like Peter Lorre}Hah hah hah, it's working perfectly! Me and the others that came from those collars are in complete control of these guys brains and are able to make them do everything our bigger self tells them! It's pure genius, but with me, why is that surprising? Voice:{Sounding exactly like the mini Scientist}It's pure genius, but with me, why is that surprising? Scientist: Hmm, I created an echo there, not bad. Voice: Hmm, I created an echo there, not bad. Scientist: Now that's strange, I didn't speak loud enough to make an echo that time. Voice: Now that's strange, I didn't speak loud enough to make an echo that time. Scientist: Okay, whatever's doing that, stop it. Voice: Okay, whatever's doing that, stop it. Scientist: I'm ordering you, stop it, you're driving me crazy!! Voice: I'm ordering you, stop it, you're driving me crazy!! {The Scientist screams at that, and now we go back outside to Brain, and we now see he no longer looks like a zombie, and that the collar on his neck is visible. He then sees what's going on, and then sees Eddie right nearby behind a wall. He runs away towards him unnoticed} Eddie: What's going on, why are they walking towards those ninjas and that barrel of Dip without putting up a fight, and why aren't you with them now? Brain:{Taking off his collar}It's because of these collars, that scientist put those on us and they're making us do whatever he says. Luckily the voice inside my head was able to drive the voice from the collar crazy and give me time to escape its control. And apparently my voice is good at impressions too. Eddie: Wait a minute, toons themselves did a lot of impressions in my day, but they did nothing compared to how many impressions you guys made in your shows. So since it's obvious impersonations have actually gotten better, especially since every celeb in Hollywood's in animation now, can you impersonate that guy? Brain: I believe so, the voice of a classic actor like Vincent Price is easy to do, but you didn't have to take that long to explain. Eddie: Well do it quicker than I explained it before those guys take their last bath! {We now see that the ninjas have spilled the barrel and there is a puddle of Dip in front of everyone} Scientist: All right, now for my final order, walk into the puddle now! Brain:{Voice exactly like the Scientist's}No, stop, back away from the puddle and don't walk in! {The toons back away just as they were about to walk in. The Scientist then sees Brain and Eddie} Scientist: What do you think you're doing?!{The ninjas then grab the two}Other than being held captive, of course. Toons, walk in the puddle!{Brain then bites the ninja and gets free} Brain: I'm showing you the consequences for having such an impersonable voice.{Impersonating the Scientist again}Back away from the Dip! Scientist: Walk in! Brain: Back away!{This continues 4 more times} Eddie: Getting dizzy yet, Mr ninja? Scientist: ENOUGH!! RUN INTO THE PUDDLE NOW!! {The toons run towards the puddle again and appear to be jumping in, but then they stop half way and crash into the ground, they no longer look like zombies and the collars on their necks are visible. The collars then fall off} Brain: Yes! Dot: Could someone explain to me why we fell on the ground? Brain: Those collars on the ground made you follow the Scientist's orders to go into the Dip puddle, but by my impersonation of him and by me and him fighting over what to make you do, there were too many orders for the collars to take at once and they overloaded, releasing their control over you. Plucky: And I know just how to celebrate this. Run away so they don't put us in by force! {The toons and human run away from the two ninjas and then go behind the left wall of a nearby studio} Plucky: Oh, thank you before I forget for saving us, Brain, it's so scary to think that I was this close to committing duckicide, it really is! Shirley: Bravery was never your major in life, Plucky. Yakko: Say, is there a movie filming here, because why else would Mr Director not be with us? Miss Info: That's the only other reason I can think of to explain why Pepper's not here too. Daffy: The fast rodent's gone too! Billie: Drat, they must have fallen into the puddle and we didn't see it because we were recovering from our own falls! Daffy: It's not fair, it's not fair, I wanted to get rid of that mouse, the joy isn't as great when someone else does it! Wakko: Is falling into the Dip the reason why Plotzie's gone too? {Back nearby the puddle, we see Plotz is still recovering from his fall} Plotz: Ow, my head hurts, I need some cream to make it feel better before I get out of here. Scientist: You want something to make you feel better before you leave us?{We see him holding the barrel of Dip}Here's a quick and effective liquid to fulfill that task! {He puts the barrel over Plotz and the next thing the others hear is Plotz's screaming} Roger: There's a b-b-b-bone chilling answer to that question.{Pause} Well, at least that proves I can pronouce b-b-b-b's as well as I can p-p-p-p's. {Total darkness now surrounds the scene until we see something fading into view, and that something is Plotz. He looks around in panic} Plotz: Now what's all this, where am I? Mr Director's voice: You're in the black world place because of the dipping and the not dying and the being with everyone else that got dipped yesterday.{The other victims of the Dip come into view} Plotz: That first part was fine without all that other stuff, sheesh, I can never get just a straight answer from you. Sylvester: This is certainly quite a way to go, there's nothing else to do except wait for whatever they're gonna do to us next, but luckily I, on the other hand, have a little friend here to keep me occupied.{Looks at Tweety} Tweety: You weally shouldn't still be chasing me, puddy tat, that's how you got here in the first pwace. Sylvester: If you'll just stand still, I can make sure I don't have to kick myself forever for that blunder by finishing what I started!{He chases Tweety} Fifi: Sigh, but for zhose of us zhat don't have urges to eat zhings, zhis is nothing but a place where all you can zhink about is zhe bad fate to come. Elmyra: Aw, is the poor stinky kitty bored? I know just how to fix that problem, come here and we'll play! Fifi:{Nervous}No zhanks, besides, wouldn't you like zhis little mousie instead?{Points to Speedy} Elmyra: A friend of my own mousies! I can play my games with him so that when I do get cranky big head and Pinky big nose back, I won't be out of shape to play with them! Speedy: I should be worried about this, but allow me to show you why I'm not.{He speeds away. Elmyra however runs after him} Elmyra: Come back, fast mousie, come back! Plotz: Well this is quite a way to go, trapped in here with a horde of crazy former employees, was I really that bad to deserve going like this?! Charity: So you're just going to mope and wait for them to dip us for real? Plotz: Yes, because there's no way out of this place and they obviously can get us from here, so what else can I do? I'd have thought you of all people would feel that way, Ms "I'm not happy" Charity: Yes, I would have, but I've been in problems worse than this to not be. Plotz: What could possibly be worse than this?! Pepper: Have you ever had to face an army in Washington D.C led by two maniacs who wanted to kill you because you loved their arch enemy, then have to go inside their giant spider and fight a destructive robot one on one to stop him from destroying the city, then almost die from it? She has. Plotz: Hmm, that does almost dwarf this by comparison. Charity: It does, doesn't it. So since I faced all those horrible things and lived, then obviously I and everyone else here can survive this too. There has to be a way out of here. Mr Director:{Serious}That was almost very inspiring, little girl, I only hope you're not desperate to leave here just so you can see your boyfriend again. Charity: That's only one big reason, like Plotz said they obviously can dip us for real in here, so we have to get out before they do. Mr Director: Good, I was just worried that if your loved one was here, you wouldn't be saying that stuff because at least if he was, you wouldn't have to face the additional pain of never seeing him again for all eternity and could at least be with him before the end came. Charity:{To Plotz}Does he always not make much sense like with that speech? Plotz: All I can say is, thank goodness you just met him now {At Kellner's office, Kellner, Sammy and Allen are discussing} Kellner: Just to be safe, let's think hard of an answer to this question. Which guards should we send to get the Pokemon out if Doom comes for them, our own guards, or the National Guard? Sammy: Even I have to admit you're being too nervous sir, I'm sure Plotz and the others have things taken care of. Allen: That's more impressive considering the fact that the last time he called us was the end of last night and that it's 1:00 PM and we haven't heard from him since. Kellner: You almost make it sound like you're trying to give me a heart attack worrying.{A knock on the door is heard}If this isn't a villain, come in.{The agent comes in} Agent 1: Hello, I'm Ken Stein. Sammy: Ken Stein, _the_ Ken Stein who guest starred on our former shows and has now gone on to host a game and talk show on Comedy Midwest? Agent 1: That's me, and as a former acquaintance of you people, I felt that I should be the one to tell you this news. It's about that situation you have with that recently no longer dead toon. Allen: Well, what's going on, where's Mr Plotz?! Agent 1: At the big exectuive office in the sky, I'm afraid. Him and most of his friends have been dipped, and the plans to dip the others and the Pokemon as well still stand. Kellner: This is a disaster! We'll have time to mourn for Plotzie later, but right now we have to prevent further misfortune, we have to save our cash cow! Agent 1: And I know how you can do it. I've arranged a special episode of my talk show "Turn Ken Stein Off", and that's because I would like you to be on it. Sammy: And what will that accomplish, get everyone on our side by pleading our case to the world and giving us more of a chance to avert this potential crisis? Agent 1: Who says network people have the brains of circus peanuts? Kellner: Yes, perfect, we'll do it! By the time Doom realizes what we've done, every kid in America will be begging their parents to go after him and stop his evil plot! Agent 1: And to begin the road to do that, I need you to put these blindfolds on. This is a top secret route to my studio, you need those so we can keep it that way.{He pulls out three blindfolds and the execs each take one} Kellner: Ha ha, victory is about to be snatched from the jaws of defeat for us, I've rarely ever been this happy! Allen:{With the blindfold on}Sorry, I can't really judge that for myself because I can only see black with this thing on. Kellner You're lucky I have happy thoughts in my mind to distract me from bringing up the use of those jokes. {Fade to the hideout as Dr Laura is waiting at the front door. The door then opens and the agent leads the blindfolded execs inside} Sammy: Can we take these off now? Agent 1: Go right ahead, I think you'll be surprised.{They do} Kellner:{Admiring the room}Wow, this is certainly an ususual look for a TV studio. Hey, and there's Dr Laura too! What are you doing here, are you shooting your sure to be highly rated TV show here too? Dr Laura: I'm just here to give you one of two surprises, Mr head of the studio that created those impolite and un family friendly toons. One, I'm currently involved in other projects, more, sinister projects, shall we say. Agent 1: And two, although the voice and look can fool people{takes off his disguse}I'm not Ken Stein. Sammy: Hey, an FCC agent, I remember you guys all too well from my previous association with you. Agent 1: Hello Sammy, good to see you again. But it may not be good for you to see me when you meet my new friend. Doom:{Walking in}How right you are.{The execs are grabbed by the ninjas}Mr Kellner, Mr Melman, Mr Allen, if you'll follow me I have an interesting proposal for you. {Outside the lot, our heroes are walking around} Daffy: Could you guys kindly refresh my memory as to what we're doing walking around? Eddie: We're looking for clues. Doom hinted to something big yesterday and he had to have left something that would hint as to what. Shirley: Gee, would that TV over there count as something to put under that category?{A TV is seen in the middle of the street} Annoucer:{V.O from the TV}We now return you to the middle of the climactic end speech of the program "The Past, Present, and Future of Animation" hosted by Steven Spielberg. Pinky: Ooh, can we take a break and watch this for a while, please? Brain: Very well, and thanks for not whining as much as usual.{The image of Spielberg comes on the TV} Eddie: So that's the guy who created most of you? Pretty strange looking for an animation genius. Dot: We know, but one good thing about being canceled is that he can't have the animators rub part of us out for a while for saying that. Spielberg:{In his trademark stutter}And so, animation has come a long way from crude drawings made by underpaid animators with nothing better to do to more superb drawings, and less work for those still underpaid animators with all the computer animated stuff we now have in our corner. But the future of animation is still yet to be determined. {At that point, Doom's voice is heard coming out of Spielberg's mouth like another dubbed in commercial} Doom: Or is it? Tonight at 7 PM that statement by Mr Spielberg will be proven wrong. And what exactly does that mean? Well, I just hope you like surprises, because you'll be getting one.{The TV goes off} Eddie: Just as I thought, he's playing with us by giving us clues to solve this with. We'll need to search around the entire studio again for any other hints on what's going on. Yakko: Yes, a chance to have some real fun again! This looks like a job for{He spins around and emerges wearing a detective's coat and hat}Hercule Yakko! Eddie: I thought I was the detective in this case. Yakko: Well, you need someone to help you and provide comic relief, it's how every situation like this works. Axel: Hey, why should you fill that void, I'm the [bleep] best detective here, but of course you would forget that with all the stuff you put me through! Roger: No need to fight, because none of you will partner with him. After his brother got killed by the judge, he swore never to have a partner again, don't make him go back on his word! Eddie: Shouldn't I have said that, because I'm the one that swore that. Roger: Well I figured that you should save your breath for all the clues you're hopefully gonna find, so why waste your time pouring your heart out when I can do it for you? Eddie: Toons, what can you do? All right, let's get moving with this search, again I'm hoping that the bad guys will be too occupied to bother us. {Back at Doom's hideout, Kellner and Doom are having a heated argument} Kellner: You can't make me do it! Doom: Oh, but I think I can rather easily. Kellner: Over my dead body you will! Doom: You know, a lot of deaths happen right after people say that. Sammy:{Whispering to Kellner}Sir, you've always been so afraid whenever he threatens to dip the Pokemon, right? Maybe you should give in before he uses that again. Kellner: Not anymore. I refuse to let that affect me because I can easily stop you from acting on that threat. I know everything there is to know about the Pokemon, my worrying about them has given me time to plan to get them out from your grasp easier, and I can beat you up to stop you because I have the motivation and rage on my side! You'll just be setting yourself up for pain and embarrassment if you act on that threat, so why bother? Doom: I knew the time would come when you'd be immune to that threat. So with that, I prepared a replacement ultimatum. {Behind Doom, a white curtain is covering something large, and the Scientist pulls it off to reveal a giant ray gun pointed at an open hole in the roof} Sammy: Oh, not the old destroy a city trick! Scientist: It's something worse than that for you. As we all know, the reason Pokemon is so beloved which has given you your precious money is because kids and toddlers love it to itty bitty pieces, to quote that red haired little girl. Wally:{On a monitor nearby with the other Circle members}But picture this. The reasons kids love it is because it's cute on TV and on merchandise, and because kids are so easily entertained. What if we were to make them forget those reasons? Big Guy: And this machine, when activated, will spread around the globe and make every kid in the entire world forget why they love that insipid program you were too lazy to create yourselves. Dr Shale: In short, if you don't agree to his demands, we'll make every brat in the world hate Pokemon, and all your green bills will be gone as quick as the time it took to make them hate it in the first place. But you can spare yourself that by giving in to the judge. Kellner: Oh, this is a lose lose situation, I don't want to have that happen or to let the judge win, but which one would be less worse? Doom: You can answer that by signing this paper, which will make my demands work and prevent your nightmare from coming true.{He pulls out a piece of paper} Allen: Sir, I would sign it if I were you, at least you could get out with what you want intact. Kellner: You're right, it would be less painful to get out while I have what I want than not get out and lose it all. All right, Doom, I'll sign.{He does} Doom: Good, this doesn't become official until 7 PM tonight, so you still have time to savor what you still have... which you'll do in here, under our guard, so you don't try anything funny. Take them to our new cell so they can witness our victory! Allen: Wait a minute, you can take Mr Kellner and Mr Melman away, but I want to talk to you for a moment.{To Wally}Unless you don't think this is the right time to tell him. Wally: With this bit of news, it's the perfect time. Doom: Tell me what, what are you and Mr Faust referring to? Take the other execs away while I get an answer from the other one.{Ninjas take Kellner and Sammy away} Allen: Actually, my job description isn't what you think it is. I work for people who are just as greedy, but a bit more evil, as hard as it is to believe. Let me take the time to explain with help from my employers on the monitor, and also explain just how you got here to begin with. Doom: Okay, I'm listening.{Allen and The Circle members smile with evil glee} {Outside, our heroes are still wandering around} Jessica: Well, it's 5:00 with 2 hours left until Doom's big plan, and we have little to go on except more videos, letters, and other trademark hints that don't tell us anything we don't already know! Axel: How uncharacteristic of you to make a [bleep] observation like that. Jessica:{Dry} Luckily for you, I'd rather not want to waste time arguing with you about that remark. Roger: Yes, a joke like that would normally lighten the mood, but sadly this is an exception, so in any case, how do we go about finding stuff that would help? Bugs: Easy, we stop searching for stuff on his plan and just try to figure out where his hideout is, if we find that we'll figure out the scheme. Daffy: For once, I'm getting pretty tired of complaining about your so called "greatness" which probably got reinforced with that idea, so I'll be quiet. So where is this hideout? Wakko: Obviously it's in the most cliched hideout possible, and there are lots of places on this lot that fit that. Pinky: Ooh, I'm getting hungry, can we take a break and go to... Brain: No! Do not reference that place, I want to keep the opportunity to go one story without it being mentioned! Billie: Actually that could very well be a good place for them to be hiding in. Brain: Could you say that and this time make a little more sense? Dot: Yes, she could be right! We've been to McDonalds so often that it's everything but a cliched hideout, and since they've been foiling our other traditions so often, they're probably hiding in one of them! Plus we can pester people there unprepared for our wackiness! Slappy: Aw rats, that's what I get for thinking that we had a writer who's actually original. Yakko: At least he knows when to set up some good fun. Come on, let's go to our favorite restaurant and meet up with our favorite acne covered employees, oh and also find out if the baddies are there. Brain: You go ahead, I'm staying here to see if anything new turns up in our search here. Pinky: But I thought you didn't want to go because you hated that place. Brain: If I went through all the reasons, it'd be 7:00 by the time I'm finished, so just go. {They do. A little later on Brain is standing in front of another studio as they come back} Wakko: Hah, you were right Dot, that was faboo to finally have some
pointless fun making the Mickey D's employees our..wait, what can I use to rhyme with
Mickey D's and employees? |
