In Search for Tweetums Part 2
As Deuce headed back to Planet Blanc in the dragon ship with his robo-army, Tech updated Ace on the situation with Deuce, while Ace and the others searched throughout Blanc for Tweetums.
The five Loonatics and Sylth Vester were following clues that the robo-Tweetums left them. The first stop they came to was a land with a ring of stones where the first clue was carved in alien writing that said "What's black and blue and red all over?" The answer turned out to be a newspaper. As Duck picked up a rolled up newspaper nearby, it triggered a booby trap that dropped red-orange slime on him. However, Ace discovered that the newspaper Duck found turned out to be a map to find the real Tweetums.
The group followed the map that took them to an underground tunnel, trying to navigate through a network of tunnels. Duck impatiently teleported into a tunnel and stepped on a pressure plate that causes him to get squashed by falling rocks.
But as they made it to the end of the trail, they found a marked door and panels of levers meant to open the door.
Robo-Tweetums: This is it, Sir Duck. Isn't it wonderful?
Duck: So where's the doorbell?
Robo-Tweetums: You have to figure out which lever to pull. Go on, Sir Duck. Do the honors and pull.
Duck: Ohhh, no you don't! I ain't falling for that one again. After you big guy, I insist.
Sylth Vester: Not me! You do it!
He pushed Slam towards the panels so he could do it. Slam picked a lever that makes rocks fall, but instead of hitting him the rocks fell on Duck and Sylth Vester instead. But the lever caused the door to open.
Ace: Way to go, Slam!
Lexi: Good guessing!
As the two rabbits and the devil walked inside, Rosie, who had been concerned about the pain Duck was going through on their quest, inspected the pile of rocks trying to see if Duck and Sylth were ok, which they were when they popped out of the rock pile.
Duck: Very funny.
Sylth Vester: I know how you feel.
Rosie: Are you boys ok?
Duck: (sarcastic) Yeah, I'm fine.
Sylth Vester: (sarcastic) Never better.
Lexi: Hey guys, get a load of this.
The underground room was Tweetums' back-up throne room, where another throne sat high above a tall staircase.
Ace: So exactly where is the bird of the hour?
The throne chair spun around and there sat the real Tweetums, holding his royal scepter and singing to himself, while two egg-bots with women's clothes and black ponytails each gave him a tray with beverages with straws for the canary to drink.
Tweetums: (singing) I'm a sweet Tweetums hiding on Planet Blanc. My kingdom in trouble I'm one on my bank. I'm small and so cute…(drinks beverage)…and that is that. But at least I'm safe from that ol' putty tat.
Frustrated, Sylth marched up to the staircase where the throne and Tweetums were.
Sylth Vester: Grrr! That's it! Kiss your royal butt goodbye!
But he stepped on a trap door and fell in; disappearing from sight, but a splashing sound was heard beneath. Rosie was only one concerned when Sylth fell through the trap door, but right now, they needed to keep Tweetums and the royal scepter safe.
Tweetums: Well, I left you plenty of clues, Sir Duck. You sure took your sweet time getting here.
Ace: So, are you just another decoy, or the real McCoy?
Rosie: His eyes are blue, guys. He is the real Tweetums.
Tweetums: In the feathers. I knew this would be the one place where the bad, bad men would never find me or the royal scepter. In the wrong hands, the royal scepter can be very, very dangerous. The scepter is the key to wormhole central.
The canary used his magic scepter to show holographic images of places on Blanc where wormholes appeared. Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice.
Optimatus: Loonatics. Thanks for leading the way. Too bad you won't be staying.
At the throne, Optimatus came up from the trap door, holding Sylth Vester, and flung the putty tat at the Loonatics' feet, where Rosie helped him stand up.
Ace: What, and miss a fine little swa-ray like this? Wouldn't think of it!
Optimatus: Not for long. Deuce!
Deuce: (enters) I hope you don't mind, but I brought along a few guests.
There was an explosion on in the walls and ceiling, and Deuce's robotic army came charging into the throne room, and surrounded the Loonatics, Sylth Vester, and Tweetums.
Sylth Vester: Suffering Succotash!
Commercial break at this point.
Ace: Looks like this party is getting a little lop-sided! Guardian Strike Sword, its show time!
Deuce: Techno-soldiers, obliterate them!
The robot soldiers fired their laser guns, but Ace sprung forward and used his sword to bounce the laser blast off the sword and into the robot, causing it to explode. Two robots fired towards Sylth Vester, who used his wrist chains to cause the laser blasts to defend himself. One of the robots head-butted into him, knocking him down.
Slam grabbed two robots and spun in a tornado and threw them to the side. The other robots were beating Sylth, but the tuxedo cat shoved them back, then raced forward and kicked into the robot, destroying it. He stood proudly on the broken pieces.
Sylth Vester: That's more like it!
Three more robots came flying down on Sylth to attack him, until Rosie leapt high into the air, decapitated one robot's head off, sliced the second robot in two halves, and dismembers the third robot, all with the use of her electric razor sharp claws. Rosie landed back onto the ground beside Sylth, who was stunned by her actions.
Sylth Vester: Not bad for a girl.
Rosie: Thanks. You're not so bad yourself. (mutters) I can't believe I said that to him. Well, maybe he isn't such a bad guy after all.
Meanwhile, Duck had gotten zapped while trying to put Tweetums in a safe distance out of the fight. When Duck got shocked, he accidently knocked the royal scepter out of the bird's hands. After Ace sliced two more robots with his sword, he went after the royal scepter and picked it up for Optimatus could grab it. But Deuce had grabbed hold of Tweetums and threatened him with a laser gun.
Deuce: Hand over the royal scepter!
Ace looked at the royal scepter, trying to decide what he should do.
Tweetums: No, don't do it!
Deuce: I'm waiting for an answer!
Now Duck really had a dislike for Tweetums, but when he saw Tweetums was in trouble, he became concerned.
Duck: (gasps) Hey! Deuce, please don't hurt mustard beak!
Deuce: The royal scepter or else!
To save Tweetums, Duck grabbed the royal scepter from Ace and rushed over to Deuce and Optimatus to make the trade. This really surprised Ace, Lexi, Rosie, and Slam. But when Duck handed the scepter to Deuce and tossed Tweetums over to Ace, Optimatus trapped Duck in a force field to take them with them as "an insurance policy."
As the robots led Duck away, one of them blasted the ceiling of the cave to bury the Loonatics, Sylth Vester, and Tweetums as Duck looked back towards his friends in dismay. When the dust cleared, the bad guys and Duck were gone, but the good guys were ok and Slam popped out of the pile of rocks.
Ace: Slam, you ok?
Slam: Uh-huh!
Rosie: Sylth and I are ok too!
Lexi: Maybe I can blast us out.
Using her brain blast, Lexi tried shooting pink lasers at the cave in, but the when she did so, the entire room shook and some rubble came down. Sylth quickly shielded his arms around Rosie when some rubble came falling close towards her, as Rosie stared up at her protector in bewilderment and amazement.
Ace: Better halter the brain blast, Lex. This place could come down at any time.
Rosie: I just hope Duck is ok.
Little did they know that Deuce had backstabbed Optimatus and put him in a bubble that contained his powers. Deuce then switched Duck's force field out for handcuffs that neutralized his powers.
Back underground, the Loonatics, Sylth Vester, and Tweetums were sitting around, as if waiting for someone to come and rescue them. Tweetums was pacing back and forth, Ace and Slam sat on the rocks, Lexi took a little nap, Sylth was leaning against a larger rock yawning, and Rosie sat beside Sylth falling asleep.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from the ceiling. Everyone looked up and a drilling machine created a hole in the dirt wall. Two glass lids opened up, and Tech and Rev popped out.
Ace: Tech! Rev! You guys are a breath of fresh air!
Rosie: Are we ever glad to see you guys!
Tech: We locked onto your tracking signal and got here as soon as we could.
Rev: If it weren't for the law of physics, which has nothing to travel faster than the speed of light, we might've gotten here even sooner.
Tweetums: You must stop the bad, bad men, Ace, and save my friend, Sir Duck.
Sylth Vester: Hey, Chicken Fricassee, it's over! They got the royal scepter.
Tweetums: True, but the royal scepter don't work without the royal jewel. I gave it to Sir Duck when I knighted him. I couldn't chance it falling into the wrong hands.
Ace: Where is the missing gem?
Tweetums: Safely around Sir Duck's neck.
Lexi: But Duck is in the wrong hands!
Tweetums: That's why you must stop them from reaching wormhole central before it's too late!
Tech and Rev hopped down and rushed over to the group, where Rosie gave them a quick hug, happy that they came to their rescue, while Sylth gave a small jealous expression under his helmet.
Ace: Lex, Slam, Sylth, Rosie, your with me! Tech, Rev, keep an eye on our royal majesty!
Meanwhile, Optimatus was held captive until Zadavia appeared, freeing him, with her fully restored powers. He protected her from two robots by blasting them before they could shoot her. Zadavia explained that she escaped her imprisonment from Deuce and stole back the cosmic guitar that contained her powers. But Deuce had caught her and opened a bay door that sucked her out into the void of space. However, Zadavia still had the cosmic guitar and was able to restore her powers in time. Both siblings decided to team up and stop Deuce from plunging the universe into chaos.
At the core of the planet where grand central wormhole was located, the Loonatics and Sylth Vester arrived to find a very, very large army of techno-soldiers led by Deuce, all ready to deploy.
Ace: So this is grand central wormhole. Gang, better keep your eyes peeled. We seem to be one nut job short.
Lexi: Looks like we got here just in time.
Deuce: I'm afraid time is something you've run out of. Now step aside.
Ace: I'm afraid we can't do that. Guardian Strike Sword, attack!
Slam, Rosie, Lexi, and Sylth rushed forward beside Ace, and got into fighting positions.
Deuce: Techno-soldiers, destroy these pests once and for all!
Everywhere, the robots aimed their guns at the anthros. Two robots tossed a captive Duck at the center of the circle towards his friends. The Loonatics and Sylth Vester were completely surrounded by an army of thousands of armed robots, but they were ready to fight.
Commercial break at this point.
Deuce: Obliterate them!
A massive battle breaks out. Robots fired all their laser guns at the Loonatics and Sylth Vester. Duck was still handcuffed and he had to dodge the laser blasts.
Duck: Hey guys, a little help here!
Slam used his tornado power to demolish the robots, Lexi and Ace combined their powers to destroy the robots before the robots could hurt Duck. Rosie zapped a blue lightning bolt at the handcuffs that held Duck. Now free, Duck's eyes glowed as he chucked up two flaming orbs. Ace took out his sword and slashed several robots, but there was still more robots shooting at them.
Lexi: Ugh, there's too many of them!
Ace: We've been in tight situations before, Lexi! C'mon!
In the fight, a robot grabbed Ace by the leg and spun him around a circle for a second, then tossed him onto Lexi, bumping into her, and accidently throwing her off the edge. Lexi grabbed onto the ledge and hung on for dear life as a couple robots approached her, guns aimed.
Lexi: Ace, help me!
Ace saw the danger Lexi was in and he quickly came to her rescue, slicing some of the robots into pieces with his sword, and then grabbed hold of Lexi's wrist before she lost her grip.
Ace: Hang on, Lex!
But there were still some robots Ace didn't slice as they pointed their guns at the two rabbits. Suddenly, out of nowhere came a thundering sound and a rainbow energy appeared. Zadavia flew up and used her powers to blow away most of the robots, also saving the Loonatics from harm.
Ace: Zadavia, glad you could make it. (notices Optimatus) But I'm a little worried about the company you keep.
Deuce: (grins) Zadavia.
Zadavia: I told you your disloyalty would be your undoing!
Brother and sister team got into fighting positions.
Deuce: How sweet. Siblings fighting side by side. Techno-soldiers, destroy them!
With that, the robots fired again, but with Zadavia and Optimatus joining the fight, the robots didn't stand a chance. Sylth Vester was busy fighting some of the robots and did a little dance while putting his fists up, saying the same line the Cowardly Lion would say.
Sylth Vester: C'mon, c'mon! I'll pulverize you! I'll…I'll…
But the robots dog piled on him. And soon, the others were over powered as well. The robots had gained the upper hand.
Deuce: Any last words?
Duck: I got a few. Only I'd have to wash my mouth out with soap afterwards.
Rosie: Well I got something to say to you, Deuce. You are a lousy ex-general who's completely out of his mind when he wants to start a war throughout the universe!
Deuce: (frowns) Such a smart mouth for a girl who's so mild. How about I dispose of you first?
Two robots pointed their laser guns at Rosie, ready to fire. Sylth could see that Rosie was in trouble, and he had to save her, so he did something that was gonna coast him his friendship with her.
Sylth Vester: Oh, Mr. General Sir, do you think you can let me and Rosie go? We're both not really with those do-gooders.
Deuce: And what do you offer me in exchange?
Sylth Vester: I happen to know that the scepter won't work without the royal jewel. And Duck is wearing it around his neck.
Duck gasped with surprise and looked at the necklace that he wore. Rosie gazed at Sylth in shock and disbelief as the two robots dropped her to the ground, sparing her.
Duck: So my neck was really on the line when it was on the line.
A robot picked up Duck and carried him over to Deuce, who yanked the necklace off Duck's neck.
Ace: (to Sylth) Blabbermouth!
Rosie: (distressed) Sylth…why did you…
Deuce opened up the tiny locket and took out a small purple jewel. When he placed the jewel in the scepter, it began to glow. At that moment, a large ship appeared with a canary's face on it.
Ace: Well, look who's here? His Royal Majesty!
Little Tweetums came riding in a little chariot driven by two egg-bots, and wearing a battle uniform.
Tweetums: I order you to drop your weapons and surrender at once!
Deuce: And who's going to make me?
Tweetums: Just little old me…and me army of egg-bots!
A whole army of egg-bots came flying out of the ship, followed Tech and Rev,
Tweetums: My good friends have retro-fitted my servant bots with special armor.
Tech: Made of the strongest ally found this side of Andromeda.
Rev: Or the other of Andromeda for that matter, if Andromeda had sides which it doesn't, which has a spiral shaped galaxy with many light years wide, and also as M31 and NGC 234.
As the egg-bots attacked and destroyed the techno-soldiers, the Loonatics were able to fight free and gain the upper hand this time. Realizing he was losing this battle, Deuce tried to make a run for it.
Ace: Cover me, Lex! Looks like the man of the hour is trying to duck out of his own party!
Deuce tried to run, but Ace was following right behind him. Deuce tossed several explosives at Ace, causing the rabbit to fall. When Deuce tried to reach the portal hub, he accidently bumped into Rosie and she fall flat on her back.
Deuce: You just keep getting in my way, don't you? But not this time.
He reached down and yanked her up by the hair, then put her in a hammerlock, and his left arm tightening around her neck to choke her. Deuce knew that Ace would keep following him, so he decided to use Rosie as a hostage to make his getaway. When Ace recovered, he saw Deuce drag Rosie and the scepter towards the portal hub.
Deuce: Universal Portal, I command you to open! NOW!
The energy beam from the scepter opened up a bridge for Deuce to run through. Once inside, Deuce put the scepter into the compartment that activated the portals.
Ace: Guardian Strike Sword, attack!
Seeing Ace come in, Deuce took out his sword and pointed it at Rosie's chest.
Deuce: Drop your sword, floppy ears, or mittens here will never meow again!
Rosie: Don't give in, Ace! It might be a trick to-
Deuce: Shut up!
Although he didn't want to, Ace had to drop his sword to keep Rosie safe.
Ace: You wouldn't wanna leave before we had a chance to say goodbye.
Deuce: No, it's I who will be saying goodbye to you, rabbit! Permanently!
Since Deuce was distracted, Rosie sank her teeth into Deuce's arm, causing Deuce to yell in pain. Then he violently shoved her towards the portal compartment, where Rosie hits her head and loses consciousness. Then Deuce did a summersault in the air towards Ace, and clashed swords with him.
An energy beam hit the green glow on top of the portal compartment, causing the entire sphere they were standing on to move in a different direction and shoot a green energy beam through the core of the planet. But Ace and Deuce still kept on fighting. When Ace briefly looked around, he became dismayed to see that Rosie was nowhere in sight, for she might've fallen off the sphere of the portal, but he then went back on concentrating his fight with Deuce.
Ace: I see you still have the old moves working for you!
Deuce: And a few new ones that you haven't seen!
He punched Ace right in the face, sending the rabbit to tumble backwards. Ace looked at the portal compartment and an idea came to him.
Deuce: Once I assemble a new army, I'll be back!
Ace: Ha! I don't think so! Looks like you bought yourself a one way ticket…
Rosie: To a cold lonely party of the galaxy!
That voice took Deuce off guard that when he turned around; Rosie lunged at him and slashes his right arm, causing Deuce to drop his sword. Then Ace used his laser vision to strike at Deuce and send him tumbling down into the heart of the portal. Ace and Rosie rushed toward the portal while Deuce looked at around and realized where he was.
Ace: Deuce, we got you right where we want you! You are banished from Planet Blanc forever! I call upon my Guardian Strike Sword! NOW!
Together, Ace and Rosie grabbed hold of the sword's handle and jabbed it into the royal scepter that was still inside the portal compartment. It unleashed a powerful beam of energy of yellow and blue surrounding the two anthros, and activated a wormhole that pulled Deuce right in, sending him somewhere far away into the galaxy. The power from that also activated a type of EMP that took out the techno-soldiers and egg-bots.
Out on the planet's core, everyone was covered in dirt and ashes from the fight. Techno-soldiers were scattered everywhere and the egg-bots dropped to the ground.
Duck: Not bad for a day's work. Taking out the trash is my favorite chore. (sees Optimatus) Oh, it looks like I missed one bag of crud!
Zadavia: No Duck! Optimatus had changed. It was the thirst for unlimited power that corrupted him. Now he must learn to use his powers to be a better leader.
From the pile of robots, Sylth crawled out.
Sylth Vester: Zadavia, I've completely changed too.
Tweetums: Sorry, but you've been a bad, bad putty tat again. I have other plans for you.
Meanwhile, Lexi, Tech, and Duck entered the portal hub and were shocked to find Ace and Rosie still leaning over the portal compartment with the Guardian Strike Sword still inside. Smoke was rising up from their bodies and both looked extremely exhausted.
Lexi: Ace! Rosie!
Ace and Rosie gave their friends weak smiles, and then both collapsed. Lexi rushed over to Ace's side while Duck and Tech ran over to Rosie's aid.
Lexi: Ace, are you ok?
Ace: (weakly) What's…up…Lex?
Lexi smiled and sighed with relief. Then, she leaned downward and gave Ace a small kiss on the cheek. Tech lifted Rosie in his arms while Duck was massaging her head.
Duck: That's some bump you got there, toots. Does it help when I rub it?
Rosie: (weakly) No…it only hurts when you…rub it.
Duck: (draws hand back) Oh! Sorry.
Lexi: Duck, give me a hand with Ace!
As Duck helped Lexi carry Ace, and pulled his sword out of the portal compartment, out of the portal hub, Tech carried Rosie in his arms towards the waiting bridge of portal.
Rosie: (weakly) We won…didn't we?
Tech: (soothing tone) Yes, we won.
Tech smiled lovingly at the young jaguar, and planted a little kiss on her forehead.
A little later, when the mess was cleaned up and everyone had cleaned themselves from the dirt and ashes on their bodies, a couple of Tweetums' working egg-bots carried a tied Sylth Vester towards the dragon ship so he could go back to jail.
Sylth Vester: Suffering Succotash! Chicken Alfredo, you're despicable!
Rosie was saddened to see Sylth taken away, but a part of her felt angry that Sylth had told Deuce to how to use the scepter, and saying that she and him were not really with the good guys. She began to think maybe he was a bad guy after all. Her thoughts were interrupted when Zadavia made a announcement.
Zadavia: Congratulations Loonatics. Before I leave you, I want you to know that it's been an honor working with all of you, even you Duck.
Duck had been picking at something in his ear until he heard what Zadavia said to him, causing him to give her a bashful smile. But Ace and the others seemed saddened that Zadavia was going to leave them.
Ace: Are you sure about this, Zadavia?
Zadavia: Yes. The time has come for me to return to Freleng with Optimatus. It signals a new beginning. Until now, you've been heroes in training. You must now rise to the next level and become guardians of the universe.
Ace: Guardians of the Universe? I like the sound of that. Maybe we should make Planet Blanc our new HQ, since it is the center of the universe.
Lexi: And with the wormholes, we can be anywhere we're needed in a flash.
Slam grunted happily in agreement.
Tweetums: Oooh! Isn't it wonderful? That means my good friend, Sir Duck, will be able to protect me now and forever!
Knowing what Tweetums was about to do, Duck put on the helmet from his silly knight costume, just as Tweetums whacked the royal scepter on his head, although it gave him a slight good protection from getting whacked on the forehead like before.
Duck: AH! You're still despicable.
The lid of the helmet fell in Duck's face, and everyone else just laughed.
But what no one noticed was that far out in the distance, a familiar spaceship that resembled a car hovered close by near Planet Blanc. Inside the spaceship, a familiar evil figure watched the heroes from his small screen panel. When the figure shows his face in the light, he was none other than Swackhammer, the CEO of Moron Mountain, now dressed in intergalactic emperor's clothing. Swackhammer grinned evilly at the tiny screen.
Swackhammer: Go ahead, laugh all you want. Soon, you fools won't be laughing then for what I've got planned for you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
End of Season Two.
I'll be leaving for a wedding so I won't be able to finish this up, nor will I know how long I'm gone. But I'll give you some of the details of season three, until I've decided to change it to a movie. Swackhammer, an old enemy from the Looney Tunes' past, has somehow returned and is about to make life a living hell for the Loonatics and those close to them. New members aka descendants of other Looney Tunes will join the Loonatics, including Sylth Vester and Tweetums. Rosie will be the main protagonist of season three, and new characters will be introduced like Rosie's older brother Eddie, descendant of Jimmy Jaguar. And for further notice, it will be slightly dark, yet a lot of romance between the teammates.
