			Chapter One: Prologue
     A rainy, gloomy day in Acme Acres. The day started off with a cloudy overcast. It was a Saturday, and Buster was bored and everyone else seemed to be engaged in some other activity. Buster flipped on his T.V. and let out a sigh of boredom.
     "This couldn't be more boring," Buster said, flipping through the channels.
     The incessant clicking of the remote control was starting to irritate him.
     "I have to find SOMETHING to do!" Buster exclaimed.
     Buster had been receiving busy signals from Babs' house all day. He once again picked up the receiver of the red phone on the wooden table beside him and tried again. He still was unable to get through.
     "Okay, that's it. I'm going over there," Buster said. He slammed down the phone, and a small ring came out when the plastic receiver hit the base at a high speed.
     He flipped the switch and shut off the T.V. Nobody else was home, so Buster just left the house silently.
     The rain outside continued and thunder struck. Buster climbed out of his burrow in the forest and headed off.
     Buster arrived at Babs' burrow, which is similar in appearance to his. Buster knocked on the ground next to it.
     "Hey, Babs! You in there?" Buster yelled.
     "Just a second," he heard her say. She poked her head up out of the hole and said, "Hey, Buster. Can't talk now. I'm doing spring cleaning. I'll call you later. See ya," Babs said.
     Then, she slipped back down into her home, with Buster standing there, annoyed, in a rain storm that was steadily increasing.
     "Oh, great. I'm bored, and now I'm soaking wet. Could this get much worse?" Buster said to himself.
     He then began to make his way back.
     As he proceeded away from Babs' home, he walked by another burrow. He peered \inside out of curiosity. He couldn't see much of anything. He thought it was probably the rain in his face, but he could've almost sworn that there was no bottom to this burrow, and it just went on and on.
     Buster leaned in close, and suddenly, something struck him in the back of the head. He was pushed over into the hole.
     As he fell into the hole, he saw what hit him. It was a silver, broken mirror. It came from Babs' spring cleaning (she usually just tossed old things out the front door, and this one flew a bit too far).
     Suddenly, during the perilous descent into the unidentified burrow, a flash came from above. Lightning shot into the hole, and reflected off the silver mirror. Small bits of glass flew everywhere as the mirror got a large, lightning-bolt shaped crack down it.
     All that could be seen from the surface was a small, translucent blue flash of light. A small sound that couldn't be heard above the rain was created from the blast. Nobody was around to witness it. Buster didn't know what it might do or where it might lead, but he was about to find out.
			Chapter 2: The millennial fair
     The loud pops of fireworks being shot off, balloons were being released into the air, and a loud cheer was heard.
     A somewhat old woman rabbit crept up the old wooden stairs of the two story house near the fairgrounds.
     She stepped into a bedroom, flipped on the lights and yelled, "Hey! Wake up, sleepy head."
     When that didn't work, she walked back downstairs.
     A loud air horn blasted from the bottom floor, and Buster shot up out of bed.
     The woman headed back upstairs, and said to Buster, "You finally got up. I thought you might end up sleeping through the whole millennial fair!"
     Buster got a perplexed look on his face.
     In a tired voice he muttered," Millennial fair? What are you talking about?!? "
     The woman laughed.
     "Oh, you're so tired, son. It's the celebration for the year 1000, and they're holding the fair. Also, on this date, the kingdom of Acmia beat the evil wizard in a war," she said, chuckling throughout the sentence.
     The woman walked back downstairs. Buster looked thoroughly confused, thinking that either he or that woman had gone insane.
     After pulling himself together, Buster stumbled out of bed and thought to himself, "What happened?"
     Buster went over to the mirror and saw himself. he was in a blue suit with something tied around the bathrobe resembling piece of clothing.
     Next to the hideous orange wig was a sword.
     "A sword? What do I need that for?" 
     It took a couple of minutes before something hit him.
     "Hey, did that woman say the year 1000? Ahh!!!" Buster screamed to himself.
     Buster took a second and absorbed the shock. However, he tried to think about where he came from. Nothing came to him. He did seem to know about the place he was now in. His life in this new place seemed to come to him all at once.
     He was calmer now. Buster stepped over to the sword hanging on the wall and put it in his hands. He stood over by the mirror. He glanced around to make sure nobody was looking. He posed a little, looking somewhat intimidating with his sword.
     He heard somebody walking up the stairs and quickly threw his sword down.
     "Buster, were you ever planning to get going? What are you waiting for? Me to take you? I thought you were too old to be seen in public with your mother," the woman said as she emerged from the staircase.
     Buster picked up the sword, put it back in a holster on his clothes and rushed downstairs.
     He ran out the front door and peered at his surroundings outside. It was full of open area. There were a few forests visible, a majestic castle beyond a large ground of trees on a mountain, the fairgrounds, and some stores.
     Buster apprehensively emerged from the doorway and began to proceed towards the fairgrounds. He figured if he was going to have to be in a strange place, he might as well have some fun. And, the place was seeming less and less strange and seemed just like home, even though in the back of his mind he knew he came from somewhere else. He just didn't know where.
     Buster walked over the gorgeous green, grassy landscape. It took only a brief walk to reach the fairground.
     He reached the fairground and saw a plethora of booths, games, activities, and food.
     He rushed in and looked around. There was so much to do. He looked at all the different activities there were.
     Buster saw a food stand almost immediately. He saw them serving carrot juice and dashed towards the stand. As he darted through the incredibly crowded fair grounds, he fell flat on his face. He looked over and saw he ran into somebody.
     "Hey, watch it, bub!" she yelled.
     A pink rabbit in a white, casual dress and a beautiful silver pendant lying next to her.
     Buster walked over. She extended her hand to let Buster help her up, but Buster walked past her and picked up the pendant.
     "This thing could be worth money," Buster said.
     "Hey, you jerk. Give me that back!!" she yelled.
     "Oh, sorry. Didn't know it was yours," Buster said. 
     "Yeah, so can you give it back to me now?" she asked.
     "No. You get up and get it from me," Buster replied.
     "You're supposed to be a gentleman and help me up!"
     Buster smirked and nodded his head no. The girl yelled in frustration and got up.
     "You're not very good at being a gentleman, are you?" she asked in a very annoyed voice.
     "Why should I be? I don't know you. Say, who are you anyway?" he asked.
     She frowned and reluctantly said, "Babs Bunny."
     Buster thought for a moment and wondered why the name sounded so familiar.
     "I'm Buster Bunny," he replied.
     "No relation," they both said.
     They then gave each other a puzzled look and wondered how the other knew that.
     Buster began to walk away.
     "Hey, you owe me!" She yelled at him.
     "Okay, what do you want?" Buster asked.
     "Well, how about you show me around here. I don't come to this part of town that often," Babs said.
     She began to follow him. The two walked around the fair grounds. Several white rock pillars, statues, and trees were around on a gray stone ground and opened gates separating segments of the festival.
     The two decided to take in some of the exhibits. They saw a soda guzzling contest in the far eastern corner. They saw the people taking part. Two people belched at each other after they drank large amounts of soda.
     "Hey, that looks like fun!" Babs yelled. Buster looked confused.
     "So now you drop your snob attitude," Buster said.
     "Shut up and watch me kick these other drinkers butts!!!" Babs exclaimed as she ran over.
     The reigning champ was her competition. they gave each other cold stares and heard the words, "Ready.....set......go!!!!!! "
     The two started and Babs  got off to any early lead.
     Buster was realizing why soda drinking was not a spectator sport. Babs was winning, but coughed and slowed down. she lost.
     "Better luck net time, little girl!" the man said.
     Babs got an angry look in her face and drew an electronic crossbow from her belt.
     "Where'd you get that?!?" Buster asked.
     "Protection, and shutting up idiots," Babs replied.
     The man was just about wetting himself and said nothing else.
     The two headed over to a stage near the center of the fair. They saw a woman on the stage, fighting herself and talking to herself. When she began to argue with herself, Buster and Babs began to walk away.
     "I hate one woman shows," Babs said. Buster nodded in agreement.
     Somebody ran up to Buster and said, "Your friend, Calamity, has finished his invention. Come and see."
     Buster shrugged and headed to the north area of the fair. He saw an elaborate setup with heavy machinery and complex - looking electronic devices. Next to Calamity was Wile E. Coyote.
     Calamity held up a sign saying, "Hey, Buster."
     Before Buster could reply, Wile E. began to talk.
     "Hello, simpletons and welcome to my son's and my wonderful invention show. I am super genius Wile E. Coyote and this invention was thought of by me, and I was the brains behind it. Oh, yeah. Calamity did some stuff, too."
     "I have a question," Buster yelled out.
     "What?" Wile E. asked, annoyed that somebody interrupted.
     "What does it do?" Buster asked.
     "Well.....uh....." Wile started to sweat.
     He knelt down and asked Calamity what the machine does. Calamity wrote it down and Wile E. read it.
     "Huh?" Wile E. asked.
     Calamity hit him over the head with the sign.
     The device had two identical pods five feet away from each other. One had a switch on the side, and the other had something on top that looked like a satellite dish.
     Calamity pointed to the pod with the switch. Buster walked up and stood on it. The sign above them said, "Telepod."
     Calamity pulled the lever. A blue electric burst enveloped Buster. A loud screeching noise and Buster reappeared on the other pod.
     "Wow! That looks like fun!" Babs exclaimed.
     She ran over, the pendant around her neck bounding as she walked.
     "Uh....are you sure you want to try it?" Wile E. asked.
     "Of course!" Babs replied.
     "Well, it's just....we don't know if it works ALL the time. And....I don't think you should try it...." Wile E. said nervously.
     "I'm sick of people telling me what to do. You can't tell me if I can use it or not!!"
     Babs then ran up to the pod with the switch on it and said, "Hey, you! Throw the switch!!!"
     She stood, ready to be transported to the other pod. The power came on. It took  few seconds, buzzing as it revved up.
     "Here we go," Buster said.
     A small electric current pulsated from the base of the pod. It continually increased in size. Babs held her breath a little.
     An electrical current caught the pendant around her neck and began to glow. A light ring sprung off of it. Then, a double one. More and more flashed off. Nobody knew what was happening.
     Then, after colors matching the TTA rings exactly came off of the pendant, a white flash of light came off and Babs disappeared, leaving only the pendant remaining on the pod.
     "What was that?" read a sign Calamity was holding up.
     "It was the rings around the Tiny Toons logo. Warner Bros. must really be getting cheap with their special effects," Buster commented.
     Calamity nodded his head.
     "I'm going after her. Get ready to throw the switch!" Buster proclaimed.
     Buster then dashed up to the gray pod with the blue floor and yelled, "Go!"
     The switch was thrown and then the same thing happened.
     Nobody knew where the two had been transported to, or if they had just disappeared and faded into nothing. This time the pendant went with the transportee. Buster had secured it more tightly than Babs had. It was obviously the key to whatever the machine was doing.
     Calamity left to decipher another way to create the pendant effect. Wile E. headed home, wanting nothing to do with the possible impending lawsuit that could come from this machine. All the fair was a buzz about this mysterious occurrence.
     Where had Babs and Buster gone? The answer was one nobody would believe if you told them.
			Chapter 3: The Queen is Gone
     The multi-ring shaped portal created opened up on a steep cliff. He looked around and began scaling down the side of the tree - filled mountain side he was on.
     His descent down the mountain side was quick. He reached the bottom and observed his surroundings.
     "It looks just like the last place, only older," Buster said.
     He looked around and said, "I'd better start looking for her."
     He walked into the cafe in the area.
     "Hey, anybody seen a girl in a white dress? She's a pink rabbit with purple bows on the end of her ears. Anybody seen her?"
     Nobody replied.
     Buster sat down at a brown, wooden table.
     "My brother's in that army fighting the psychic wizard, Shirley Magus. She can turn you boring with a single blast. Her deadliest attack gives you a sudden urge to watch the Weather Channel!" a man at the table said to Buster.
     Buster replied with, "What a horrible fate!"
     The man left and Buster thought to himself, "What's wrong with our writers? This story line is a bit predictable, isn't it? Evil wizard kidnaps damsel in distress? When does this get creative?" A lightning bolt zapped next to him.
     "I think I should stop making comments about the staff working on this show," Buster said.
     A man close by said, "Hey, kid. You planning to battle Shirley Magus' army or what? I see that you've got a sword there. Are you a good swordsman?"
     Buster decided a little white lie would hurt nothing, so he said, "Yeah, I'm an expert."
     The person said back, "Then you should help up in the battle. Come by the castle later and we'll sign you up to the army."
     Buster's eyes grew wide and he shouted out, "WHAT? I'm not joining your army!!"
     The man said to him, "Then that means you're on Magus' side and we'll have to execute you with the guillotine!!!"
     Buster then said, "Oh, the army is what you want me to join..."
     Then he let out some nervous laughter and continued with, "I thought you meant the.....uhh.....never mind. I'll be at the castle in two hours."
     Buster had no plans of sticking around in a strange era, but he thought still having his head attached might help him to get home.
     Buster asked the question that would make him seem like the stupidest person in the building, "Hey, where am I?"
     Everybody in the cafe heard.
     The answers ranged from, "Are you drunk or something." to, "How dumb are you?"
     Buster looked angrily and exclaimed, "JUST TELL ME WHERE I AM!!!!!!!"
     The whole place replied, "Acmia Kingdom."
     Buster then asked, "What year?!?"
     The whole place burst out in laughter.
     Buster then mumbled to himself, "Great, I'm in a  strange place. What happened to that millennial fair I was at?"
     The guy next to him said, "Millennial fair? Has Bob been serving alcohol to minors again, or are you just dumb? What nonsense!!!"
     
     Buster left, frustrated. He walked into a store adjoining to that facility and yelled out, "What year is it?!?"
     The building looked frightened.
     The shop manager said, "Please.....sir.....calm down....it's 600...now leave without hurting anybody..."
     Buster walked out of the store, stood still for a second and then exclaimed, "What!?! 600?!! AHH!"
     Then he paused and commented to himself, "Man, I really have to stop these delayed reactions."
     Outside, he overheard two people talking.
     "I heard the Queen has finally returned home. It's about time. The King was going nuts!"
     One person said, "Yeah, I wonder whatever happened to her in the first place. When they try to find out, all she does is ramble on about some millennial fair and something about a creep with blue fur."
     Buster ran over to them and asked where he could find this person.
     "She's a Queen, so wouldn't it make sense to look in the castle, smart guy?" the man replied.
     Buster peered over and saw the castle which looked just like the castle from 1000 A.D.
     Buster had to head through the dense forest in front of the castle. He entered it and saw the dense foliage and heard a howl.
     "What was that?" He wondered to himself.
     He passed over through a few trees and saw three things in the ground. One yelled and showed large white teeth. They were mushrooms looking ready to attack.
     Buster pulled out the sword he was smart enough to bring with him. He got ready to attack, but tensed up. He got nervous. The animated mushrooms had a chance to attack, but couldn't reach Buster.
     After a little while, Buster noticed this. He stood back and made faces at the creatures.
     "Ha ha!" Buster laughed at them.
     The enemies flashed their large, perfectly white teeth at him.
     "How do these things get a dentist out here? They're teeth are perfect!" Buster said.
     He then took the sword and slashed at them. He missed, but they stopped trying to attack.
     Buster made it through the rest of the forest without anything happening. He arrived and started to push on the gates, but they wouldn't budge. They were large, wooden and full of nails.
     "Great! How do I open this door? I guess I'll have to use force!"
     Buster then attempted to plunge his sword into the door. It didn't go, and the force of the swing caused Buster to shake and dent his sword.
     "Uhh...sir? Look over there," a guard near by said.
     He looked over and saw a large door with a handle on it that said, "Welcome to Acmia Castle."
     Buster walked over, turned the brass handle and walked in. A Purple carpet with gold trim sat on the floor and two guards met him at the door.
     "What do you want shrimp? To beat us up with your bent sword, or are you one of Shirley Magus' troops or something?"
     The other guard laughed and said, "Hardly. He never would have made the cut. Hey kid. Show us you stamp collection. Ha ha!"
     Suddenly, from the next room, somebody yelled, "Stop at once!"
     "Queen Leene!" the two exclaimed.
     A young woman emerged from two wooden doors up a flight of stairs and said, "This gentleman is an associate of mine."
     "But there's something odd about him!" one of them said.
     "You dare to defy me. I'll have your heads for this!!!" she yelled.
     "Forgive him. He's an idiot!" the other one said.
     "Duh," the Queen remarked.
     "Pardon, madam? Duh? I've never heard this before," the first guard said.
     "Who cares? Shut up and let him through!" she ordered.
     The two obeyed and Buster was let in. The woman looked oddly familiar.
     Buster walked up the stone stairs and entered the throne room. As Buster entered the room, the chancellor, who was consulting with King Acmia XXI, left the room, grumbling to himself.
     The king said, "you, funny looking boy. I heard you saved my beloved Queen Leene."
     Buster said back, "Huh?"
     "Well, I must thank you. But, can you tell me what happened to her? She's been saying allot of odd things. she described my crown as "cool" and asked where something called a CD player was.  She also seems to know nothing about the coral pin, something she guarded with her life. Can you explain?"
     Buster shrugged his shoulders and said, "nope, sorry. I don't know what happened, but I'll go talk to her."
     Buster then began to look around for where this queen might be.
     "CD player? How would anybody in 600 know about stuff like that?"
     He asked somebody where the queen would be.
     "She's up those stairs," the man said.
     Buster looked over and saw a small staircase.
     "You mean those?" he asked.
     "No, right next to those," the man said.
     Buster glanced over and saw stairs that seemed to go incredibly high into the air. The last stairs he could see were covered over in clouds.
     "Oh, great," he said.
     Buster walked over and started walking. Two hours and several large foot pains later he finally made it up. 
     A guard stood there and said, "the queen awaits."
     Buster asked him, "Hey, how can you stand coming up all these stairs all the time?"
     The man said, "I usually use the elevator, sir."
     Buster looked over and saw an elevator.
     "Now why didn't I notice that before?"
     Buster walked into the queen's quarters.
     A maid nearby said, "YOU saved our queen? You don't look tough!"
     Then Buster said, "I'm tough. I'll beat Shirley Magus' army myself!"
     The maid smirked and said, "Right."
     Then she walked over and stomped on his foot. Buster jumped around in pain, holding his foot, and the maid left.
     "Ah, there you are," the queen said.
     She was turned facing away from Buster looking at the window.
     "Come nearer, sir," the Queen said.
     Buster walked closer.
     "What's going on?"
     Still facing the other direction, the Queen said in a very deep voice, "Luke, I am your father. Ha ha ha!"
     Then she turned around.
     "Fooled ya', didn't I, Buster?"
     Buster then looked at her. It was Babs.
     "It's me! But everyone here calls me Leene!"
     "I'm so relieved you're here. I needed somebody to show off all this wealth and fame to. And, somehow I knew you'd be foolish enough to follow me here. Thanks for coming."
     Suddenly, the room darkened, and a spectacular green light flooded in through the windows.
     "Wh....what's happening? It feels like....I'm being torn apart!!!! Ahh!!!!!!"
     She screamed and then a brilliant white light poured in. She disappeared, and a librarian reappeared that looked like her.
     "What happened?" Buster asked.
     "Nothing. I am feeling fine. Fig bar?" she asked in a monotone voice.
     "Oh no. What's going on?"
     Buster then rushed down the elevator.
     He saw Calamity Coyote at the bottom holding up a sign that said, "Buster, did you find that girl?"
     Buster replied, saying she's been transformed from herself into a boring librarian.
     "Just as I thought," a sign Calamity held up read.
     He then handed Buster a computer print out explanation. Buster read it over. It said that Babs descended from a long line of wacky queens of Acmia, and somebody came to protect her. But, history has changed, and the wacky female leader of Acmia has been mentally reprogrammed to be boring. This causes all of her descendants to be boring as well. The kingdom grows sick of reading, "War and Peace " as a law, and having Al Gore's birthday as a holiday, so they overthrow the kingdom. The queen is kicked out and becomes the boring librarian of Acmia, and so do all people in the family line after that.
     "Wait, if she came from a line of queens, then doesn't that mean she is really supposed to be...."
     Calamity then held up a sign that said, "She's really Queen Barbara Anne Bunny."
     Buster then figured it all out. The real queen was kidnapped for the reprogramming, and when Babs showed up here, they thought she was back and all things returned to normal. The mental reprogramming is successful and all the queens become boring, allowing the royal family to be kicked out and the chancellor's family to take over rule of the kingdom.
     They knew what they had to do. Save the real queen Leene and return Babs to her normal, comic self.
     Calamity, armed with a small weapon, joined Crono in his search for Babs. They both had suspicions about the chancellor.
     They asked around about the chancellor, who mysteriously took off as soon as Buster arrived in the kingdom.
     When asked about the chancellor, one of the cooks at the castle said, "He's a good man. Why, he goes to the cathedral everyday."
     The two rushed out of the Kingdom and towards the cathedral to the east.
     Beyond a lavish green, dense forest to the east was a beautiful cathedral. It had red brick and allot of stain glass on it. The two approached it and heard strange music coming from inside.
     They came inside and saw several people in odd costumes dancing. They listened for a moment and heard evil, demonic music: disco!
     "Wow, we must really have come far back in time. This ancient ritual is called disco."
     Calamity snickered, and one of them turned around angrily.
     "You laugh at our culture and our customs. We will distroy you!"
     The woman who talked was old. Maybe 60 yrs. Or so they thought. All the people in the cathedral took of their odd costumes, which consisted of afros and sequin jumpsuits. When they revealed their true forms, it was astonishing. They were actually hideous creatures in fluorescent pink dresses.
     Buster and Calamity fought them off. Or so they thought.
     "That was easy," Buster remarked.
     Just then, they started hearing odd music from behind them.
     "......burn, baby burn.......disco inferno...."
     They turned around expecting another fight when they saw somebody break through the door and knock it down with a sword.
     "Thou art lettest thy guard down and thee lettest thy enemy in to distroyeth....."
     And then Buster interrupted the newcomer, saying, "Does this have any point, or were you just planning on rambling on in old English for a while?" Buster asked.
     "Oh, right. Sorry. Thou, my name is Sir Plucky. I have come to rescue thy queen from the perilous clutches of....whoever got her."
     Buster looked skeptical.
     "Are you sure we can trust you? You look kinda like those freaks we just beat up," Buster said.
     "I assure thee, I am not one of those freaks you beat up," Plucky said.
     He was wearing a green cape with red armor. He had a broad sword in a holster on him.
     "Thou art look like a creature from the army of thine ultimate evil, Madam Shirley Magus," Plucky said.
     "Hold on a second," Buster said.
     He pulled out a blue book with the words, "Script for Chrono Toon " written on it.
     He flipped through the pages and said, "Just as I feared. Plucky rambles on and on like this for the whole episode."
     Plucky said, "Now, we must headeth offeth to find the damsel in distress!"
     Without looking, Plucky stuck his nose high in the air and ended up walking right into the wall at the back of the cathedral.
     "Maybe you should try finding a door before you go charging through," Buster said.
     "Oh, great. How am I supposed to save her if we can't even find her?" Plucky asked.
     Plucky sat down next to the organ and banged his head off the keys. They heard a tune play and suddenly a door opened in the wall.
     "Maybe you will be helpful after all," Buster said. "You seem to be good at using your head, anyway." 
     The three of them slipped in through the door. They emerged in a room with a series of doors and red carpet lining the whole place. They also saw several disco balls on the ceiling and could hear the same kind of strange chanting as when they encountered the last monsters.
     "Uhh...Buster. Is this really a good idea?" Plucky asked nervously.
     "We have to save the kidnapped Queen," Buster said.
     "Why?" Plucky asked.
     "I don't know. That just seems to be how this kind of story always goes," Buster replied.
     They proceeded through the hidden section of the temple until they reached a dead end.
     "Great, where do we go now?" Buster asked as he stood before a brick wall at the end of the clandestine area of the cathedral.
     "Oh, greateth!" Plucky exclaimed. "We commeth all this way and thou art becomes lost upon the end of thee cathedral!"
     Then, Plucky hit his head into the wall, and it opened up.
     "You must have the hardest head in the world!" Buster said.
     "Oh, shutteth up," Plucky replied.
     They walked in and saw the chancellor from before standing behind a desk, with Queen Leene standing there.
     "Prepare yourself!" The chancellor yelled at the Queen.
     He then called in a group of lawyers, eighth grade geography teachers and Bill Gates impersonators. Then he pulled out a video tape labeled, "The best of Oprah Winfrey." It was going to be the most horrifically boring display possible, and Buster had to stop it for the future of humor in Acmia.
     Buster drew his sword, Calamity his small gun, and Plucky a sword.
     "Thou art gonna be sorry!" Plucky exclaimed.
     All the boring people summoned by the chancellor ran for their lives. Plucky lept onto the desk and slashed the videotape into small bits.
     "What are you doing?" The chancellor asked angrily.
     "We're here to save the Queen's sense of humor!" Buster said vehemently.
     "I'll show you little punks!" The chancellor yelled. "True form change!!"
     He began to recite YMCA and suddenly, he became a large yellow mass with an afro that reached seven feet into the air.
     "This might be the scariest thing I've ever seen," Buster said.
     "You've seen nothing yet!!" the creature said.
     The door sprung open and several animate afros slid across the floor.
     "Wow, I'm soooo scared of thee," Plucky said sarcastically. "What, is thy hair going to beat us up or what? Ha ha ha!"
     Plucky scoffed at him.
     The hair showed large, white fangs and growled.
     "Oh, great. Carnivorous hair pieces!" Buster said.
     Buster then got an idea. He pulled out a bottle of ACME hair gel, which scared away the afros.
     "No!! My beautiful children!" The creature exclaimed.
     Buster then held his sword to the neck of the beast.
     "What are you gonna do, take my head off?" asked the creature.
     "No, there are censors watching. I'm just gonna do this," Buster replied, then picked up one of Calamity's signs and hit the beast over the head with it.
     It knocked him out and Buster took the Queen and began to leave.
     A murmuring could be heard from a box in the corner.
     "What was that?" asked Buster.
     Plucky ran over to the box and opened it. The real chancellor was inside.
     "It was horrible!! He played disco records all day long!! I'm glad it's over," the real chancellor said.
     "It was I who has saveth the from thine foe, the evil grip of the evil creature that attacketh thee!" Plucky told him.
     The chancellor walked over to Buster and quietly asked him, "Is your friend always this melodramatic?"
     Buster nodded yes.
     It was true. Whenever Plucky said one of the lines in old English, he over did it by allot.
     The group of them headed back to Acmia Kingdom.
     "How can we ever thank you?" the king asked," you saved the Queen twice and exposed the fake chancellor."
     "We could useth money!" Plucky said.
     "Shut up!" Buster said.
     Plucky said, "Looketh, Buster. I'm going to leave. I have disgraced thy kingdom by letting the Queen get captured. Good bye."
     Plucky then headed out of the castle.
     "I'm so glad he's gone," Buster said.
     "Hey, I heardeth that!" Plucky yelled from outside the castle.
     Calamity and Buster took the elevator upstairs and ran into the room where Babs was to see if they could recover the future.
     They walked in and saw a white light shimmering in the center of the room.
     When the light dispersed, Babs was left standing.
     "What are you all staring at?" Babs asked.
     "Just tell me one thing: do you have a sudden urge to read the phone book?"
     Babs replied, "Only if I'm ordering a pizza or something."
     Buster breathed a sigh of relief. They had prevented the anti-amusement disaster from occurring. At least, this one.
     "I think we have to go back to our right time now," Babs said.
     "Sure thing, Babs, or should I say Princess Barbara Anne Bunny?"
     Babs' face grew read and she yelled angrily," DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT!!!!!!"
     Buster squirmed a little at the sound of her rage, and then said, "Well, why did you lie about who you were?"
     "Because I hate titles ( especially my full name ) and plus, would you have shown me around the fair if you knew who I was?" she asked.
     "Of course I would have shown you around the fair. I just would have made you pay for everything if I knew you were royalty."
     Babs frowned at Buster, and then the two began to head back to their own time.
     The reached the mountain where they originally appeared in this era.
     "So how do we get back?" Buster asked Calamity.
     Calamity pulled out the time device, flipped a switch and a replica of the rings on the Tiny Toons logo, which Calamity called a gate, opened up. Calamity gave Buster a written explanation about the gates, saying that they could only appear in certain areas.
     They went through the gates, and they passed through a swirling, colorful, gravity lacking environment which was the inside of the gate.
			Chapter 4: We're Back
     The reappeared in the machine at the millennial fair. Nothing seemed to have changed.
     "I have to return home to modify the telepod," read a sign Calamity Coyote held up.
     "See ya', Calamity," Buster and Babs said.
     The two sat there for a few minutes before Babs finally said something.
     "Well, aren't you going to take me home?" Babs asked.
     "Yeah, sure," Buster replied.
     The two left the fair. It seemed to be the same day as when they left for 600 A.D.
     The two headed to the castle and when they opened the door to the castle, they were immediately intercepted by guards.
     "Princess Babara Anne Bunny, you've returned!" One guard said.
     "Don't call me that!!" Babs yelled back.
     A chancellor, looking suspiciously like the one in 600, said, "So this is the fiend who kidnapped you!"
     "Kidnapped me?!? What are you talking about?" Babs asked.
     "Security!! Arrest this man!" The chancellor yelled.
     "Stop at once. By order of Princess Babs!"
     They didn't listen. They took Buster to the jail cell.
     "Buster!" She yelled.
     Buster didn't react.
     "I'll see you in a while," Buster said.
     Babs ran up to her royal chamber.
     She began to wonder to herself, "Why isn't he taking this seriously? He could be executed....or worse!"
     Buster sat in his cell awaiting a trial thinking, "This is just one of her jokes."
     He was wrong.
			Chapter 5: The trial
     Buster waited in his cell for a few days, and the feeling of reality began to set in. He knew this was no joke conjured up by Babs in her spare time. It was the real thing.
     The day of the trial arrived. Buster was brought, handcuffed, into the courtroom.
     The chancellor introduced Buster's lawyer to him, Concorde Condor.
     "Could you have stuck me with a worse lawyer? " Buster asked.
     The chancellor, who assigned the lawyers, laughed.
     The courtroom had a navy blue floor, a stained glass window at the back, a large area for seating a jury and spectators. 
     Buster was waiting in the court room for the other lawyer to be brought out.
     The chancellor came out with a suspicious looking lawyer with him. Slicked back black hair that looked like it had more grease than a McDonald's kitchen. A small mustache and stripped blue suit. He looked like a mobster in a bad suit.
     The lawyer approached Buster at his seat in the courtroom.
     "I will read off the charges to the court now. Rudeness to a princess. Making a member of the royal family crack a smile. Using a technology and not letting the royal family take credit for it. Distruction of disco hair pieces and accessories. Possession of a large, ugly wig. Associating with a mute coyote. Buster's lawyer, what response do you have to these charges?"
     Concord replied, "A, hyuk. Nope."
     Buster covered his eyes. He couldn't bare to watch the proceedings. He began to consider an insanity plea for letting this lawyer represent him.
     The case continued.
     "Did Buster kidnap the princess, yes or no?" the lawyer asked.
     "A, beats me. Don't no. Nope. Nope," Concorde replied.
     Buster couldn't believe it. He could've done a better job himself. He also thought Plucky would have done a good job at being a lawyer because he was so long winded and with all that old English he would confuse the jury and cause an endless supply of mistrials.
     After about half an hour, the lawyer began to cross examine Concorde.
     "Have you ever done anything illegal? Did you attend law school? Do you realize if you didn't that it's a felony and you'll be thrown in jail for the rest of your life? Are you in this country legally?"
     Concorde, knowing nothing about legal process, did nothing to object this questioning. He just kept stuttering and not giving any real answers, so he left the courtroom screaming. The lawyer smirked.
     The case ended about an hour after it started. The jury found him guilty, and Buster was handcuffed again.
     Babs rushed in through the door.
     "Stop!" She yelled.
     "Sorry, hon, but this is way more important than you," The chancellor said.
     Babs yelled in frustration as Buster was dragged away.
     "Hey, watch the ears!" Buster said as they pulled him across the floor.
     Within a few minutes, Buster was inside a prison cell. Next to him was a tin cup with some water inside of it. He poured a little of the water on the floor. It began to glow green.
     "Hmm. Usually when the water looks like nuclear waste it's a good idea not to drink it," Buster said.
     Buster looked beyond the cold steel bars sealing off the cell from the rest of the prison confine. He saw two guards standing there.
     "Warner Bros. must be paying millions for extras to play all these guards," Buster said quietly.
     One of them must have heard him, because he yelled in, "Hey, shut up! We aren't extras!"
     Buster thought that this one must be kinda irritable. He got an idea. He ran over to the tin cup and back to the bars. He began hitting off the steel and singing out of tune.
     "You moron! You're to inept to even annoy a guard properly. Here, I'll show ya how it's done," the hypercritical guard said.
     He then unlocked and opened the cell door. He took the cup from Buster and started hitting it off the wall.
     "You got that?" the one guard asked.
     "Not quite. Maybe if you demonstrate with your other guard over there," Buster said.
     He called the other one over and they both started hitting the wall. As they were doing this, they were too distracted to notice Buster slipping out the door.
     "Heh heh heh. What morons," Buster muttered to himself as he walked out.
     To his pleasant suprise, there was almost zero security around. In one room he passed through, a bunch of inmates were throwing a party. They sprayed champagne everywhere and shot off fireworks. A few stole guards uniforms. All the cells were unlocked, with only a sign there saying, "Please don't escape without the express written permission of the king - signed, the management."
     "Minimum security wing," Buster said.
     He walked through, avoiding the drunk people and other various inmates who fell down.
     The exit was in sight now. He had stepped outside and across a blue stone bridge was an entrance back into the castle, where the prison was attached.
     As Buster began to cross to freedom, a sound came from above him. It was an ACME helicopter, piloted by Calamity.
     "Calamity, you showed up!" Buster said.
     Calamity was losing control of the helicopter. He crashed it into the side, but he was okay. Just a lot of black soot and was a little beat up. Nothing he'd never felt falling off a cliff before.
     The two of them began to run when they heard somebody yell, "There he is!! Get him!!!!"
     Buster and Calamity looked over to see that it was the chancellor and a few more guards.
     "You didn't think you'd get past me that easily!" The chancellor said, "Get the dragon tank!"
     Suddenly, a large metallic dragon appeared out of nowhere.
     "Ha ha ha!"
     Buster and Calamity both tried to hit it to no avail.
     "How do we kill it?" said a sign that Calamity held up.
     Buster got an idea. "I know. Hold on a second."
     Buster ran back into the prison area, and he heard a person in a cell groaning immensely in pain.
     "Did you drink any of that water?" Buster asked.
     The person nodded yes.
     "Were you planning to finish it?"
     The person screamed and handed over the cup.
     Buster rushed back upstairs. He threw the cup full of water onto the dragon tank.
     "No!! Not the water!! Fix the tank!!!" The chancellor yelled.
     Him and three guards began to run towards the tank, but Buster tripped them and they all fell into the hole created by the crash of the helicopter.
     They were hanging there now, gripping each other for dear life, making a perfect bridge over the hole.
     Buster walked over them towards the door, but paused for a moment.
     "So, chancellor, you can't move can you?"
     He yelled up scornfully, "Don't think you've won yet!" Buster laughed. He grabbed a feather and began tickling the chancellor's nose.
     "Stop....ha ha.....that.....ha ha....or...ha ha.....I'm going to....ha ha ha...fall to my doom....ha ha ha...." the chancellor said.
     Buster stood over him, staring, hoping he might fall, but eventually, he left.
     When he and Calamity got inside the castle, they were met with an onslaught of security.
     Buster and Calamity made a run for the door, but were trapped. Just then, Babs came in.
     "Stop right now!" Babs yelled. Just then, the chancellor made another appearance.
     "Don't listen to her! Listen to King Acmia!" The chancellor said.
     The King said, "Barbara Anne, you have to follow the rules that come with being royalty. No having fun. No friends. Nothing."
     Babs said, "Don't call me by my full name!!!!! And, I don't have to listen to you!!! I'm leaving!!!"
     Babs then headed for the door with Calamity and Buster. They ran into the forest outside the castle ( it was the same as in 600 A.D. ) and headed left while the guards persued them.
     As they ran, Calamity tripped over a rock. "Oh no, what are we going to do?" Babs asked.
     Calamity picked up the gate opening device, which got jarred loose when he fell, and pressed a switch on it. A gate opened and they were pulled through.
     "They just.....disappeared!" the chancellor exclaimed. Without any explanation they were gone. The chancellor couldn't explain how he let them get away.
			Chapter 6: Beyond the Ruins
     The gate opened up inside a small room. The three of them fell about six feet to the ground.
     "Oww! Calamity, can't you do something about the landings?" Babs asked. Calamity held up a sign that said, "No."
     Buster looked around. "Hey, where are we?" Buster asked. He looked at the walls. they were made of a kind of metal they'd never seen before.
     Calamity held up his watch. Under year it read " 2300 A.D. "
     "Wow! We've gone to the future! Let's see how advanced everything turned out!" Babs said excitedly. They all rushed for the door.
     Their excitement quickly turned to a  depressing awe. They stepped outside and saw a vast wasteland. Sands blew everywhere. No sunlight was making it through. A few domes could be seen, as well as the remains of what used to be civilization.
     "I guess that Y2K thing did more damage than we thought," Buster said.
     The three began to head for a dome in the south. Maybe they would find somebody alive. They didn't know what happened between 1000 and 2300 to do all this.
     The three headed across the dark, desolate wasteland and reached a dome in the south with a big sign outside that said, "Party Dome."
     "Party dome? This sounds promising," Babs said. The three opened the door and saw a room with no light and several tired, hungry and sick people scattering the floor.
     "Wow, talk about false advertising!" Babs remarked. The three walked around the dome and discovered most of the people were alive.
     "Hey, what happened?" Buster asked. 
     A man with a brown, torn up and dirty robe looked up from the ground and said, "Where have you been the last three hundred years? The world as we knew it was torn apart."
     "By what?" Buster asked. "I can't really explain it," the man replied. Babs asked him, "Hey, why do you call this place the Party Dome?"
     "It stands for Painful Anguishing Ransacked Torn Yielded dome," the man replied.
     "Ohh. Lively," Babs said sarcastically.
     "So what do you do all day?" Buster asked.
     " Sit here and discuss poetry," the man said.
     "Ugh. How awful," Buster said.
     "What do you do for food? I don't see anything to eat around here," Babs asked.
     "We use that over there," the man said, pointing to a machine in the corner, "it has two flavors. Mush and gruel. Gruel is a special treat."  
     Buster, Babs and Calamity all consulted in the corner, where the people in the dome couldn't hear them.
     "You guys, we have to do something about this," Babs said.
     "I think we were better off in 1000 A.D. where the whole Kingdom wanted to kill us," Buster said.
     "Well, maybe if we went to another time and brought them some food. Or found another gate and find out what happened," Babs suggested.
     "All right, let's start looking for other gates in some of the other domes," Buster said.
     The device Calamity invented to open the gates could also detect them, so they would know if they came across one.
     They all decided to leave the gates and risk crossing the ruins to find another gate.
     The group stepped back outside the dome, the sands and wind blowing ion their faces. It was frigid cold outside with no sunlight getting through. There was also no way to tell what time it was.
     They passed through an area full of old metal and broken machines to the north.
     "Hey, look at all this stuff. It must have been great while it worked," Babs said.
     "For all we know it was programmed to kill people," Buster replied.
     They heard a whirring sound coming from a little ways away.
     "What was that?" Babs asked. All three of them looked over and saw several light blue robots with one long eye and some yellow lines on them coming towards them.
     "Uh, I think it was those, Babs," Buster said.
     "Well, what do we do about them.?"
     Calamity held up a sign that said, "Run!"
     They all complied with the sign. They ran away from the robots, who gave chase. By the time they cut off their pursuit, the three of them had ended up in front of another dome.
     "Look, another dome," Babs said. There was no sign on this one. The three of them walked inside and saw almost the same thing as the last dome.
     "Wow, another party central," Babs said sarcastically. All the people were huddled around.
     "How did you people get here?" one person asked.
     "We just crossed the ruins over there," Babs said.
     "Wow, some people actually crossed the ruins!" A man yelled. Within seconds the entire population of the dome was crowded around.
     "I've got some bad news," one person said, "our food machine is still broken and the guy we sent to the basement hasn't returned with the food yet."
     Buster and Babs looked over and saw an opening in the ground, and they saw a ladder leading into a dark basement.
     "We'll go in there and get your food," Babs said.
     "We will?" Buster asked.
     "Yes," Babs said and she hit Buster in the head a little.
     "Ow, fine we'll go down there," Buster said.
     The three of them proceeded down into the bottom of the dome. "Yikes, it reeks down here," Babs said.
     "This smells worse than Elmur Fudd's class," Buster said.
     "Who?" asked Babs.
     "Never mind. It would take too long to explain," Buster replied. She shrugged her shoulders and they kept moving on.
     They saw a door at the end of a long, dark and narrow hallway. "The food must be behind there, you guys," Babs said. They walked in and suddenly a security alarm began blaring.
     "Warning! Intruders!" the security system said.
     "Hey, who're you talking to? Nobody's around to hear you," Buster said to the security system.
     "Okay, the stress of having to save all these people from starvation must really be getting to you, Buster. You're talking to a security system," Babs said.
     "Just look," Buster said. The device seemed confused. "You see, if devices really have advanced this far, then they'd also have to be smarter. Smart enough to realize it's a waste of energy to call for help if nobody's gonna hear you," Buster pointed out.
     They were headed through the next door when the security system fired off a shot. It hit Calamity, singing him from head to toe. "Ow!" said a sign Calamity held up.
     Buster drew his sword. "What are you going to do? Slice up the security system's weapons?" asked Babs.
     "No," Buster said. He walked over to the wall and swiped at it, then pulled a switch. "Why not just shut off the power?" He asked. The system shut down immediately.
     Finally, they made it to the food storage area. Or, what's left of it anyways.
     "Peew. this reeks worse than the rest of this place," Babs remarked. Looking around in the cold, dark and desolate room, they saw a substantial amount of rotted food, and one dead body.
     "Well, that explains everything. Why there's no food. Why that guy never returned. Everything except for what happened to this place," Buster said.
     They looked around for any salvageable items to return to the main floor. All they found was one lowly seed. "Wow. A seed. We went all the way down here for a seed," Babs said sarcastically. 
     "Well, maybe it could frow here," Buster said optimistically.
     "Right. You mean from the wonderful sunlight rays coming through the never ending cloud cover and sub freezing temps or off the fine cuisine the people here enjoy?" Babs said, killing any optimism.
     They took it anyway. At least it was something. Then, they decided to head out. On their way back to the exit, they flipped the power back on. A noise came from the wall next to them.
     "What was that?" asked Babs.
     "I don't know. It's too dark. I can't see  a thing down here!" Buster said. Calamity walked over to the wall and suddenly all the lights turned on.
     "Wow, Calamity, how'd you do that?" Buster asked. He pointed to the light switch on the wall. Buster frowned.
     On the wall was a computer with a flat screen and control panel. Calamity walked over and it turned on.
     "Let me guess, another on switch?" Babs asked. Calamity nodded his head no and pointed to several switches and dials on the wall.
     As the computer loaded, a sign came on saying, "Windows 2300."
     "In all this, Bill Gates is still making money off the same thing," Buster groaned. A small sign on the side said Intel Pentium 45, 45000 MHz.
     It turned on and played a video clip immediately. It said, "Record of the Day of Cencos."
     "What's a Cencos?" Buster asked. Babs, sitting with a bag of popcorn said, "Would you shut up? I'm trying to watch the movie!"
     It began with a shot of 1999. 1999 was still the future in the dimension where Buster ended up when he fell down that burrow.
     Several domes, like the ones here, only not partially distroyed, were shown. Large expanses of highway and high tech buildings and vehicles flashed across the screen.
     A loud rumbling sound began. A small hole in downtown Acmia was opened. A voice yelled from below, "This area does not promote educational T.V. or PROPER VIEWING HABITS!!!!!!"
     Then, as if out of nowhere, a hideous, disgusting, appalling creature emerged from the merky, hot depths of the Earth: The T.V. Censor woman!
     "I am Cencos and you will submit to QUALITY PROGRAMMING!!! HA HA HA!!"
     The people all screamed in horror. Buster, while watching the video said, "Oh no. This woman came to wipe all good T.V. off the face of the map."
     A man in the video yelled, "Never!!! We'll never watch your quality, educational programming!!"
     The woman let off a demonic laugh and said, "Then you will suffer like the young minds of America!!"
     Then, the visions began in all the heads of the people of the world. Some were forced to read the names in the phone book and memorize them. Others had to watch "Quality " television all day.
     It drove the population mad. The first thing Cencos wanted to go in the raid against real entertainment by this vile creature was Tiny Toons. That alone drove most of the population to the brink of insanity.
     People tried to distroy the vile fiend as it distorted the television waves with explosives and firearms, but nothing worked. And, to make things worse, they ended up blowing most things to smithereens.
     The giant censorship monster began to trample entire cities. "Die, entertainment, die!" She cried as she went.
     She reached the Warner Bros. Lot, where certain people had no idea what was going on.
     "Hey, what's up, Doc?" Bugs said as the forty foot overcast shadow came over the area. The giant creature gave off a growl and trampled Bugs. Or so Cencos thought.
     Bugs wasn't distroyed, though. Nobody knew what happened to him after he ducked and avoided certain doom.
     Most of the original Loony Toons cast were moribund. Cencos, armed with tape after tape of warm, educational family T.V. and other vast forms of demonic powers, would attack their WB luxury suites first.
     Next came the Animaniacs. "He he he," she laughed and then stomped them over and over again.
     To finish them, an anvil storm flew from the sky to wipe them off the face of the Earth.
     "It's the end of the world!" Yakko cried. These were his last words as Cencos distroyed him and the rest of the cast of Animaniacs.
     The anvils ( yes, she did realize the irony in the most commonly used WB gag to distroy them ) ripped through the water tower hideout of the Animaniacs faster than the iceberg through the Titanic. It toppled to the ground with almost nothing left of it. It was in ashes.
     Slappy was next to meet her ill - fated demise. Her tree residence was quickly scorched.
     The Brain, while attempting to figure out what to do to escape, was blown up along with Pinky.
     It was Armageddon on the Warner lot. Steven Spielberg was nowhere to be seen ( rumor had it he finally realized they should make new episodes of Tiny Toons and he went to work on them ) and it was like a nuclear warzone.
     Why all the Distruction only to control the airwaves? Warner Bros. would keep her from this control, and the rest of the world chose to fight rather than lose all entertainment. It was their choice, but the world would pay for it.
     Within an hour, the Warner Bros. studio was gone and took all characters and shows, except Tiny Toons, with it. The cast of Tiny Toons was spared to this point. 
     "Now to distroy the real threat to boring, non - entertaining programming!"
     She looked all over for the cast of Tiny Toons, who she thought was
the biggest threat to her new world plan. But, they were nowhere to be found.
     The lot was wrecked. The whole world was trampled. Some entire continents couldn't withstand even being stood on by the villainous Cencos. They sunk immediately.
     The video ended. All three people stood there, stunned.
     "I'm really glad we missed it when that happened," Babs said. Buster nodded in agreement.
     Dispite not knowing of Tiny Toons, they all knew they were toons as opposed to humans, and that this being was clearly out to wipe all toons of the face of the planet.
      But, neither Buster, Babs or Calamity made any mention of Tiny Toons. Nobody seemed to know where they all actually came from.
     They would all remember soon enough, but for now, they were caught up in this world. A scorched Earth to correct. Several cameos still to encounter, and a very long way to go.
     After this video, the group emerged out of the basement of the dome.
     "Did you find anything?" Doan, the head of the dome asked.
     "Just this," Babs responded. She handed him a seed.
     "Do you really think It'll grow in a place like this?" Doan asked.
     "You have to try," Buster said. They decided to plant it.
     Buster, Babs and Calamity all left. They headed south and found the Ham dome.      "What do you suppose we'll find in there?" Babs asked.
     " I don't know, but I suppose we should look.
     They entered another bland looking dome. "This era really needs a new decorator," Babs commented. Buster nodded in agreement.
     They went inside and saw a broken machine with a person - like shape in the corner.
     "What's this?" Babs asked looking on it. It had a pig's face, a metallic body, and a helmet. It didn't seem to be working.
     Calamity walked over to it, and held up a sign saying, "It's a beat up humanoid robot." Buster and Babs exchanged confused glances.
     "I can fix it!" said another sign from Calamity.
     "Are you nuts?!? It might attack us!" Babs pointed out.
     Calamity nodded his head no. "I'll re-program it," stated another sign from Calamity.
     Calamity got to work on it. How he knew how to fix something 300 years in the future was beyond everyone else.
     "It's fixed," explained Calamity via writing. They turned it on. It started to whir and some sparks flew.
     "Good morning," Babs said to it. It's arm spun and turned into something.
     "He's got a gun!" Babs exclaimed. The three got scared, but upon closer inspection, it was a vacuum.
     "Good morning, what is your command. I'm your Robo - maid," it said.
     "Nice going, Calamity. What do we need with a cleaning bot?" Babs asked.
     "This is Babs, I'm Buster, and that is Calamity. He repaired you," Buster said.
     "Understood. Mr. Calamity repaired me," the robot said. " Calamity will do," a sign read from Calamity. 
     "Impossible, sir. That would be rude. Now, what do you need cleaned?" the robot asked.
     "I hate formal titles," Calamity explained it writing.
     "Me too," Babs said.
     "Yeah, Princess Barbara Anne," Buster said, snickering.
     Babs scowled at him. "Don't call me that. You either, metal head, or you'll be shut off like that," Babs said angrily.
     "I think he needs a name," Babs suggested.
     "Name? Uh...my serial number is R66-Y44WB544120," the robot explained. "Isn't that good enough?"
     Babs said, "No way. You need a real name. How about....uh....Hamton?" she suggested.
     Hamton agreed. " I am Hamton. Data storage complete," Hamton said.
     "You know, we really need to liven this guy up," Buster said.
     "Hey, Hammy, why aren't there any people here?" Buster asked.
     "Who?" Hamton asked.
     "Hammy.....it's just a different way to say Hamton. Just answer the question," Buster said.
     "I don't know. There used to be people here. I'll tell you, cleaning up the dust in a sunless, heatless scorched world is not an easy task. And talk about hard, try finding dust remover, and...."
     "Uh, never mind!" Babs said, interrupting him.
     "How'd you guys get here?" Hamton asked.
     "We came from a time warp in 1000 A.D," Babs said. "We found you while looking for a gate out of here."
     There was a door behind Hamton, but it was locked.
     "There's a door behind you we can't open. You think you could help us out?" Buster asked. Hamton walked over to it and drew a mop. "It's stuck. The computer control for it has something sticky spilled on it. I'm out of Mr. Clean, so I can't do anything about it," Hamton said. "If we go to the janitor dome to the north, we can find the cleaning supplies."
     "You'd go to get if for us?" Babs asked, optimistically.
     "You think I'm insane? You're coming with me," Hamton said.
     "Darn, I was hoping he'd fall for that," Babs said quietly.
     "Somebody has to stay behind," Hamton said.
     "Why?" Babs asked.
     "Because some Robots are slobs, and we have to make sure we get it open as soon as we can scrub the computer control," Hamton said. They all agreed Calamity would stay back ( except for Calamity, of course ).
			Chapter 7: The Factory ruins
     Hamton, Buster and Babs headed north to the Janitor dome. They got inside and a voice said, "Identification, please." Hamton drew a broom, and it was scanned by a computer on the wall. It had an I.D. number on it, and a small ring proved the acceptance by the I.D. checker.
     All of them headed inside. Several closets were locked. "How many different cleaning devices do you need in here?" Babs asked.
     "We need to be ready for anything," Hamton replied.
     They tried opening up the closets, but they were locked. "There's another computer around here somewhere. Let's look around," Hamton suggested.
     This whole dome was suprisingly untouched. I guess Cencos must've thought that this placed posed absolutely no threat to her idea of a boring, monotone existence ( which was true. It didn't ).
     "I can't wait to see what I'll find in all these cleaning closets!" Hamton said in anticipation of undoing the locks. Babs gave him a strange look.
     They headed through the expansive, heavily maintained and very neat and clean dome.
     Finally, the three reached the control panel. Hamton pulled the switch and an alarm sounded.
     "Warning! Security system gone haywire! Cleanliness breach! Shutting down immediately!!!" The three began to rush out of there.
     "What's going on?" shouted Babs. 
     "I don't know. It must've detected excessive dirt!" Hamton replied. Red lights flashed everywhere, as the three ran as quickly as possible.
     On their way out, they were intercepted by several purple versions of Hamton, only without the pig faces.
     "Distroy the dirt bringers," they cried.
     "No, you can't. these are my friends!" Hamton said. They pushed him to the floor.
     "What are you doing?" Hamton asked.
     "You're defective. You're associating with the unclean ones. They bring dirt and germs," the robot said.
     "What're you talking about?" asked Hamton.
     "You're malfunctioning!" They shouted.
     "I am?" asked Hamton.
     "Affirmative," they all replied.
     "A defect.....I'm a defect..." Hamton said in a low, depressed voice.
     "Have you forgotten our mission? Distroy dirt and dust at all costs," one robot said. "You shame us. You must be distroyed!" another cried out.
     They all pounced on him and began to attack. "Come on, Buster. Hamton's getting whipped out there!"
     The two rushed over to help, but Hamton said to them, "No, stop. These are my brothers."
     "Talk about a dysfunctional family," Babs remarked. The other robots once again commenced a brutal assault. There was nothing Buster or Babs could do. Finally, they threw him down a chute labeled, "Laundry Shaft."
     "Hamton!" Babs yelled. "Now to take care of intruders," one said. They all pulled electric mops from their arms and began their clean/attack sequence.
     "You cocky boxes of bolts! You'll never get away with this!" Babs said. Buster picked up his sword and pried up a piece of the floor panel. Below the dome was the outside, with dirt on the ground.
     Buster and Babs exploited their biggest fear: being messy. Instead of throwing at them, they threw it on the walls. The robots overloaded trying to clean it fast and exploded.
     Babs rushed over to the laundry chute and yelled down, "Hamton!" Hamton was able to make it back up, but he was trashed.
     "What do we do? Hamton got creamed!" Babs stated. They decided to take him back to Calamity. They dragged the body back over the ruins.
     "Can you repair me?" Hamton asked while Calamity opened him up.
     Calamity said nothing. "You're trying to save our world, aren't you?" Hamton asked.
     "I don't know how far we'll get, but that's the plan," Babs said.
     "What're you going to do after you get fixed?" asked Babs.
     "Plans for the future?" Hamton asked.
     Babs came over, this time in an Ed MacMahon costume, saying,"This is the lifestyles of the rich and robotic. Tell me old chap, what plans do you have for the future?" She asked in her best Ed impression voice.
     "I don't know. I guess go with you guys," Hamton said.
     "Mahvaloues!" Babs commented," I wish you metallic wishes and cybernetic dreams."
     The next day, Hamton was all done being fixed up. " Wow, Calamity, you're amazing!" Babs commented.
     Calamity located the gate. On their way there, they encountered a large stretch of highway.
     "What do we do here?" Buster asked. robots came out and surrounded them. "Great, there's a bunch of them!" Buster exclaimed.
     Just then, they heard, "Beep, beep."
     " It's....the BIRD!!!!" they all yelled simultaneously.
     Beeper, wearing black sunglasses and a blue jacket came out. "Beep Beep!" He said. Hamton translated.
     "He says if you want to make it across, you have to race me, on that bike over there." The four of them looked over and saw a run down tricycle.
     "Oh, great!" Buster said. they all got ready to race. Beeper got off to a dominating start, Beeping at them in his most mocking tone.
     "Is he laughing at us?" Babs asked. 
     "It's best if I don't translate what he said!" Hamton replied. Beeper was inches from the finish line, and the four of them were inches from the starting line.
     "I have an idea!" Hamton said. He fired off soapy water towards the finish line. Beeper slipped, fell off the track, and the four just walked the distance of the highway.
     There, they found a gate. "Hang on to your shorts, cuz' here we go!" Babs exclaimed.
     "Uh, Babs? Most of us aren't wearing any," Buster pointed out. Calamity opened the gate, and the ground was teleoprted through.
			 Chapter 8: The end of time
     They appeared again in a room with a bridge attached. It has wooden fences around and blue and black clouds floating around.
     "Where are we?" Hamton asked, cowering away. 
     "Calm down. I see somebody over there. Let's ask him," Buster said.
     "Ah, guests," the old man in the room said.
     "What do you mean guests? And where exactly are we?" Babs asked.
     "Why, the end of time, of course!" the old man said.
     "Oh, of course, the end of time. How silly of me," Babs said sarcastically.
     "All time travelers wind up here. Now, where are you from?" he asked in a shrill voice.
     "We're from Acmia Kingdom, 1000 A.D.," Buster said. "I'm from 2300," Hamton said.
     "When four or more beings step into a time warp, the conservation of time theorem states that they will turn up at the space time coordinates of least resistance. Here." Babs looked confused, as did the rest of them but Hamton.
     "Disturbances in the space time continuum," the aged man continued, "have been happening a lot lately. Far too many folks just pop in here everyday. I fear something is wrong with the very fabric of time."
     "Which means one of us has to stay here," Buster said. They all pointed at Calamity, who didn't want to travel in time anymore anyway.
     Large pillars of light acted as gates in this room, so any time could be accessed.
     The old man looked at Buster. "I know you from somewhere," he said.
     "Where?" Buster asked.
     "All of you. you're from Acme Acres, 1990. Buster, you left there just hours before the coming of Cencos, the evil T.V. censor would've distroyed you!" The old man said.
     "Wow. What did I do there?" Buster asked.
     The old man said, "Don't remember, eh Doc? Well, we can fix that!" He hit Buster over the head with his short, wooden cane. "Remember anything?" he asked.
     Buster remembered the beautiful realm of  Acme Acres. He remembered Tiny Toon Adventures. He knew, but nobody else did.
     The old man called him over. "Listen, Buster. Keep a lid on things. You've all ended up here for a reason. You know what's going on but nobody else does. Keep it that way. If you can fix everything, then everyone will return to normal in your REAL time, 1999. But, if not, then the entire cast of Tiny Toons will be stuck flipping through time periods and making bad cameos," the old man told him in secrecy.
     Bugs went on to explain to him that when Buster jumped into the gate in 1999, the whole Tiny Toons cast was spared for a reason. And now Buster knew what that was.
     The group of them was about ready to leave, when the old man yelled to them, "Hey! Don't be in such a rush to leave. Speak to the man...er....um..thing in the room behind me."
     Buster shrugged his shoulders and led Hamton and Babs into the room.
     In the middle of the room was Gogo Dodo. "Greetings, time travelers," Gogo said greeting them.
     Babs squinted her eye and asked, "What exactly is it?"
     Buster replied, "It's a dodo."
     "Those are extinct," Babs replied.
     "Well, talk to it!" Buster instructed.
     Babs walked over and began talking. "So...uh...thing....say, what exactly are you anyway?"
     "Like your blue friend over there said," Gogo replied," I'm a Dodo. The last one."
     Gogo was sitting in the middle of a dark room with a brown stone floor and just pitch black around it. A very dismal place.
     "So, why did we have to come in here?" asked Babs.
     "Well, if you must know, to defeat Cencos, you need REAL tooniness. Like this," Gogo said as he walked up to Buster and hit him over the head with a hammer.
     "See? He got hurt. Real Toons aren't supposed to have that happen. Example," Gogo said, doing the same thing to himself with the large wooden hammer, only he split into a bunch of smaller Gogo's.
     "See? You need this kind of power to beat Cencos. Here, let me give it to you!" Gogo said. The room lit up. Suddenly, they all felt as if they could fall off cliffs or get slammed into the wall and nothing would happen.
     Gogo said, "Want to try it out?"
     "How?" Buster asked. 
     "On me, of course."
     "You're just a little thing though," Babs said.
     "Try it," Gogo instructed.
     They finally agreed. "Before we start, you each posses a special kind of toony power, and as you get stronger, they'll get better. Buster, you're lightning. Babs, your water. Hamton.....you're wind," Gogo told them.
     "Why am I wind?" Hamton asked. 
     "Because that's the only thing associated with a vacuum cleaner I could come up with," Gogo said.
     They finally began. Buster tried out his new lightning ability. A small jolt of static electricity came out of his finger. "Joy. What unimaginable power," Buster commented sarcastically.
     Hamton tried wind. All that happened was a small dust buster came out of his hand and pulled the umbrella off Gogo's head.
     "I'll thank you to leave that alone!" Gogo said. He then came over to Hamton and ripped it off the end of the dust buster.
     "Come on, you guys. We should be able to tear apart this pip-squeak!" Babs said. Gogo smirked and watching seconds, he was forty feet high.
     "This is what happens when you actually learn to use this stuff," Gogo said.
     Buster walked over to Gogo and hit him with the end of his sword. Gogo shrunk back to size.
     "Now you're getting somewhere," Gogo said.
     "Hey, what time is it?" Babs asked. Gogo showed his watch spinning around quickly. He pulled out another one with ice covering the face. "Hmm. My watch is frozen," Gogo commented. Finally, he pulled out a third one, which didn't move at all. He opened up the back and saw a little headstone inside. "Dead battery," Gogo commented. The three left the room and went back to the old man.
     "I know you kids must be itching' to rip back and forth through time, but you have to go back to 1000 AD. The longer you're here, the more you're going to get on my nerves....uh. I meant the less chance you have of fixin' the past. See ya," The old man said.
     "Is it just me," Babs began, "or is that old guy's voice REALLY familiar?"
     Buster said back," I think I've heard it before. I wonder where..."
     They walked over to the glowing pillars in the corner. The one with 1000 A.D. written next to it was the one Hamton, Buster and Babs exited the end of time in.
     This gate was not as smooth a ride as the others. They bounced back and forth off objects from different eras. Through this gate they saw Elvis float by.
     "Hey, aren't you supposed to be dead?" Buster asked.
     "Like anybody ever believed that I was dead," Elvis replied. Buster just kept on floating away with the others in the gate. Elvis said, "Thank you. Thank you very much," as the toons headed for the year 1000.
     The three of them were dropped about ten feet to the ground when the portal opened.
			Chapter 9: The village of Loons
     "Ow," Babs remarked. The three of them pulled them selves off the ground and surveyed the area they appeared in. It wasn't Acmia.
     "Where are we?" Buster asked.
     "The Village of Loons," Babs replied, "this whole place went to war with Acmia in 600 AD under the control of Shirley Magus. They lost, and now they worship her and her servant, Fowlmouth Ozzie."
     The three of them walked through the town. It had lavish green tress, beautiful grass, a monument to Shirley Magus in the center, a few clouds drifting by overhead and somehow it still had an eerie feeling to it.
     The three of them were approached by two Loon residence. "Like, listen here dudes. The people here like totally hate Toons, so like watch your backs, 'k?" Buster nodded yes, and the Loons left.
     "Why did they want to help us? Loons hate Toons," Babs said.
     "And more importantly, why did they talk like that?" Buster asked.
     Hamton offered a reply. " According to my computer records, their leader Shirley Magus made that the official language of the Loon people," Hamton said.
     "Well, I'm not talking like any airhead," Babs said.
     All the Loon people had long hair, talked like airheads, and were taught about Auras, previous lives and other supernatural stuff. All by the order of their leader 400 years ago.
     "Look Babs, we can blend in if we just talk like them," Buster said.
     Hamton interrupted, "Hey. You know that stuff Gogo taught us? Well, according to my data banks, all Toons lost these powers, but Loons still posses it, because Shirley Magus revived this art."
     "So, if they know we're toons, we get fried," Buster said.
     "I'm not giving up my self-respect and dignity to look like one of these freaks!" Babs exclaimed.
     "Well, even if you did, our hair isn't exactly Loon regulation."
     The three got wigs. Buster had a large purple wig, Babs got a yellow one, and Hamton put a feather duster on his head. "Okay, now we'll look and sound dumb," Babs said.
     The two people who talked to them before came back to talk to them. "Hey, like what's up, you guys? Nice duds. There is like this total freak in the south. He's like a toon like you guys. You should totally talk to him and some junk!" The Loon said.
     They entered an item store to buy supplies. "Like, we totally need supplies and some junk!" Babs said, sounding a lot like Shirley.
     "For sure!" The clerk said. She handed her the list of what they had.
     They bought a few necessities: Food, water, Babs got make-up, Hamton bought Mr. Clean.
     They then walked to the south and found the hut of Dizzy the Weaponsmith.
     "I've got a bad feeling about this. Something tells me that somebody who's dizzy shouldn't be using too many weapons," Babs said.
     They walked in anyway. They saw a purple hairy thing in the corner chomping down a sword. He had a dark blue hat on and swords all over the room.
     "Mmm. Guests!" he exclaimed. " Me sell you weapon?" he asked.
     "Uhhh. no thanks," Buster replied.
     "You no buy weapon, Dizzy get angry! Very angry!" His eyes began to look furious. "Okay, settle down. I"ll but a weapon from you," Buster said.
     Buster pulled out his wallet and pulled out a handful of money and handed it to Dizzy.
     He noticed something. The money in the wallet wasn't depleting at all. It remained full. "Babs, check this out!" Buster yelled to her.
     "Wow, that's amazing!" Babs said after a demonstration. They also noticed something else about the never ending currency: it all had pictures of Gogo on it.
     "Well, not too many other people are going to accept this money, so we might as well buy a lot here," Buster said. They all bought upgrades for their current weapons, except Hamton who couldn't find a cleaning store.
     "Dizzy happy you buy weapons," Dizzy said, and he whirled around the room in a tornado.
     "Now that's a vacuum cleaner!" Hamton exclaimed. They three of them exited the building. Nearby, a huge cave was carved in the face of a mountain, with a small wooden sign next to it with the words, "Hiccups lair. Stay out!" painted on black paint.
     "You think we should go in there?" Babs asked.
     "Look at the alternative," Buster said. Somebody had told that they were Toons, and a mob it was beginning to gather to get them.
     They all elected for the cave. They walked in and heard a faint sound of Hick ups in the distance. The cave itself was maybe 7 ft. high, with torches all over the wall, a wet ground and water dripping from the ceiling.
     "Wow, all the conveniences of home," Babs said sarcastically.
     They headed through the first door within the cave and saw a stream. "We might as well jump in. We don't want to hang around these Loons too long," Buster said. Before they could jump in, one giant hiccup rattled the whole place.
     "What was that?" Babs asked frantically. It caused a cave in, covering this area of the stream. A giant blue creature with long, yellow, pointed claws came down from a hole he hick upped in the ceiling.
     "Die...*hick*......Loon......*hick*.....enemies!" It yelled. It then trampled over Buster, leaving him as flat as a pancake.
     "Ow," Buster said very calmly. Buster popped back up immediately. He walked over and hit the creature over the head with the butt of his sword, making it dizzy and confused.
     "Buster, how come you never use the blade of your sword?" Babs asked.
     "Because the censors are watching," Buster replied.
     Hamton used his wet/dry vacuum power to pull water from the few cracks that still reached the stream below, pulled up ice cold, dirty water and sprayed him with it.
     It seemed to be fazed. The three were about to pass by when it re-gained it's senses.
     "Thunder HICKUP!" It exclaimed. It Hick upped loud enough to cause the whole cave to collapse.
     Buster, Babs and Hamton were caught under the pile of rubble, with just the ends of their mouths sticking out.
     "Babs, don't you think he should move all these rocks off of us?" Buster asked.
     "Yeah, in a minute. I haven't slept in days," she said. Buster pulled the rocks off him, as did the other two.
     One of the rocks Buster threw off himself made a crack in the ground near where the mountain used to be. The stream still flowed below it.
     Just before they were going to leap, Hamton said something, "Shirley Magus, according to my memory banks, created Cencos is the middle ages to control all entertainment and therefore the minds of everyone. We could use the gate at the fairground to get to the middle ages and find her!" Hamton suggested.
     "Come on, guys!" Babs said. They all lept in as the Loon mob approached.
     They were carried down stream towards Acmia, bumping into rock after rock on the way.
     They finally ended up in Acmia near the fairground. The three plowed through, knocking down the costumed racers and several booths. The tiger display booth was unfortunately one of the ones knocked down.
     The animals were about to pounce when they suddenly heard somebody say, "Here kitty wiities!" They all ran back to their cages.
     Buster, Babs and Hamton climbed back on the metal Telepod with the blue bottom, pulled the switch, and were back on their way to 600 A.D.
			Chapter 10: The hero appears!
     They appeared on the Cliffside of 600 A.D. in Acmia. They plummeted a few hundred feet before landing with an imprint on the ground.
     "We're back," Babs said. They all headed south for Acmia Cafe. They opened the wooden, creaky door and came inside. A fireplace was lit and people sat around ordering.
     "I want a double decaf late' with 1/8 smooth foam, 2/19 hard foam, 22/3478 fat free and with a touch of half sugar free sugar....to go!" The man ordering said.
     They talked with the people in the Cafe'. "What's up?" asked Buster.
     "Haven't you heard? The legendary hero has appeared! Now Shirley Magus' army has no chance!" The man proclaimed.
     Babs was relieved, saying,"Great. Now if we go back to the village of Loons, we don't have to talk like freaks!"
     Another person in the cafe told them the hero went off to meet with the king.
     "I think we should go meet this legendary hero," Buster said. They all concurred and proceeded north towards Acmia Castle.
     Buster walked in the castle doors. As he made his way up the stairs covered in the majestic purple carpet, the chancellor yelled to him, "Sir Buster! The legendary hero has finally appeared! He just arrived to meet the king!"
     "Who's this legendary hero they all keep mentioning?" Buster asked.
     "According to my memory banks...." Hamton began, but Babs, with an angry look on her face, said, "We know where you get your stupid information!!! Stop saying according to my memory banks already!!!!!!!!"
     "As I was saying, a legendary hero was prophecized to come and save the kingdom of Acmia, but never did. I guess history changed," Hamton finished.
     The group of them headed up to visit the king. " Please, come in, Buster," a maid waiting at the door to the king's quarters said.
     "He's very ill," she said. Buster ran over to talk to him.
     "Oh, Buster. I've let down my kingdom.....hack....cough....wheeze.... since we can't locate Cyrus, our hope rests on the boy who has the hero medal. He searches...hack....cough... wheeze.... the southern continent for the sword to defeat that vile Shirley Magus.... hack... cough.... I think it's the end for me partner.... hack...." Babs pulled out an Academy award and handed it to him.
     "Thank you. I'd like to thank the Academy, and....oh, right. I'm supposed to be dying," the king said.
     "Where do they find these actors?" Buster asked himself.
     "We should go find this legendary hero. Maybe he'll take care of Cencos for us," Babs said.
     "According to...." then Babs scowled at Hamton. "Never mind..."
     First, they headed for the kitchen. They sat down at the table yelling, "We want food!"
     The chef pulled them into the kitchen. " Hey! We've got a real hero now! He don't need you weirdoes! Here, make yourselves useful," the chef said as he slammed a box of old food at them. " Give this to the guards. Actually, we don't need them anymore either!" The chef pontificated.
     "Do we look like delivery people?" Buster asked.
     "Yes,  only you don't get tipped!" The chef said. They decided to bring it to the guards anyway. They were told to take it to the bridge and deliver it.
     When they reached the bridge, things looked grim. The guards were low on food and getting beaten badly in battle.
     "Sir Buster!" One yelled when they arrived. He handed them the food. They all tasted some.
     "Ugh!" one yelled.
     "This is appalling!" Exclaimed another.
     "Well...uh....this is what Shirley Magus has done to our food supply. We have to get back at her!" Buster said. That didn't rally the troops very well.
     "Okay, we'll get back at her. You guys sit here and rest," Buster said. The three headed over the now fixed bridge to confront Shirley Magus' army for the first time.
     A soldier rushed in from further up the bridge. "Sir! Shirley Magus' troops have just broken through our defenses!"
     "Stop sniveling," replied the Knight Captain. "You're a disgrace to the Knights of the Square table! Buster here will take care of 'em!"
     "I will?" Buster asked.
     "Yes!" The Knight captain ordered.
     Buster, Babs and Hamton all crossed the bridge. They saw a creature in a white robe and with green gloves on. it yelled, "Hey you *** I'm Fowlmouth Ozzie, and nobody is gettin' over my ****in' bridge!"
     Ozzie summoned some of Shirley Magus' deadliest creatures: the broken crystal bulbs. Hamton pulled out a brook, and they ran away.
     Fowlmouth Ozzie retreated. They persued him to the end of the bridge.
     "That's it! Now you're finished!" he yelled.
     "What? What are you gonna do?" Buster asked.
     Babs began a Clint Eastwood impression, "What are you gonna do, punk? Huh? What are you gonna do? Go ahead, make my day!" Then, she flipped back to normal.
     A giant assemblence of several broken crystal bulbs came at Fowlmouth Ozzie's command. "Go my children!! Distroy these ****!!!!"
     Fowlmouth Ozzie retreated, leaving only Glassor ( the glass creature's name ) and the three of them..
     The three of them needed a plan. "Hey, what's the most common cartoon weapon?" Babs asked.
     "A cliff?" Buster suggested.
     "Dynamite?" Hamton chimed in.
     "No. A mallet! It would smash this guy to bits! But, where do we get one?" she asked.
     "Why get one? Thanks to Gogo, we can just pull one out!" Buster said. They all pulled them out and smashed it. It was defeated.
     The three were across the bridge no worse for wear. They headed for an inn to rest. People all around the south end of Acmia were talk about how an epic battle would begin and the hero would save the kingdom.
     After a night of rest, they went to the elder of Acmia's house. "Only the Masatoon sword can beat Shirley Magus and only the hero can wield it," he explained.
     "So where is this legendary hero?" Buster asked.
     "In the south," the elder replied.
     "We are in the south," Buster said back.
     "Uh...oh yeah..." the elder stuttered.
     "I thought you were the elder because you're wise," Buster said.
     "No, I'm the elder because I"m old," the elder replied.
     They headed further south to the town of Porre and into a weapon shop.
     A man in the weapon shop said, "I'm going to use this armor and fight Shirley Magus!" He then charged off, but ran into the wall, making a huge hole in it.
     "I hope that wasn't the legendary hero!" Babs exclaimed.
     They went into the cafe. A man told them, "Hey, the other day an ugly creature came through mumbling about a contract dispute and the masatoon. That sure was an ugly duck!"      
     "Ugly duck? That must be Plucky!" Babs shouted.
     Another person in the cafe said, "I can't believe that ugly runt Tata is the legendary hero!"
     "Tata?" all three of them said at the same time. They headed for the house of Tata. It was a two story wooden house. Tata's father was inside. He yelled, "I can't believe my son is the legendary hero! It must've been all that Kellog's cereal! High in fibre, and loaded with protien!"
     "What are you talking about?" Buster asked.
     "Now that my son is the hero, he does more product endorsements than Michael Jordan ever did!"
     Tata came down with Nike clothes on, Kellog's cereal, the Microsoft logo on his hat, and about twelve other endorsements.
     This made them all sick. " This guy is supposed to be saving the world and instead he's doing Nike ads?" Buster said as camera crews walked in through his doors.
     They all walked away, when an alarm went off on Hamton's head. " Warning! Warning!" he yelled.
     "What is it?" Babs asked.
     "A warning alarm on my head!" he replied.
     "WHY is it doing that?" she asked. " Detecting extreme amounts of dirt in...there!" Hamton explained. He pointed to a forest. He led the charge into it.
     They got inside and fell into a hole, discovering Plucky living down there.
     "Plucky! Where have you been?" Babs asked.
     "Contract holdout. I want the Masatoon sword and a signing bonus, and they shalt not give me it, so I'm sitting this episode out!" he said.
     "But the king is hurt and Shirley Magus is attacking!" Babs said.
     "Thy king is hurt? I see. Sorry, that t'isn't quite funny enough to get me to come back. Please be on thy way. Plucky then turned around and faced the wall.
     "Buster, we need to get him back under contract!" Babs said.
     "I know. But how?" he asked.
     "Find the sword!" Babs said. " You're right. Let's ask around. Maybe somebody knows how to get it," Buster said. The three of them rushed out.
     The group of them heard the people talking, saying, "Tata has headed up the Denadoro mountains."
     "Buster, let's go find this kid and see where this hero is going," Babs suggested. They reached the mountains as saw Tata running for his life.
     "You guys better get outta here while you can!" a frantic Tata said. "Those monsters are just too much for me!" And with that Tata ran off the mountains, fearing for his life.
     The group looked up and saw a small mouse sitting on a small cliff side. "Yeah, intimidating beast," Babs said sarcastically.
     The three of them exited the mountain side, knowing now that this legandary hero was really fake.
     "Great, what are the people here gonna do now?" Babs asked. " We just have to find the real legandary hero," Buster said calmly.
     "Oh, is that all?"
			Chapter 11: Tata and the Duck
     "Well, where do we start looking for this thing?" Babs asked.
     "Well, that kid was going up those mountains. Why don't we?" Buster asked.
     "Might as well. We've got nothing else to do," Babs replied.
     Buster walked up the mountain side, and Babs decided it was too tiring to walk and made Hamton lift her up.
     They reached the top of the cliff and saw an animal sitting by the cliff side.
     "Mountains are pretty," the creature said.
     "That's nice. Can you tell me if anybody else is up here, like any hero type people?" Babs asked.
     "Mountains are pretty," the thing said again. Babs stared at it very annoyed.
     "Let's try this one more time. IS ANYBODY UP HERE?" Babs asked.
     "Mountains are pretty," it said again. Babs got mad and kicked it. It fell off the cliff and got splattered on the ground. "Eeew," Babs said after she saw the end result.
     The group of three kept climbing and reached a cave at the top of the mountain.
     The three of them walked in and saw two children inside a cave. One child said, "I'm the wind....woosh...."
     Babs asked him, "What are you doing up here?" He said nothing.
     The two of them looked beyond the child and saw a sword on top of a platform.
     "That must be the the Masatoon!" Babs exclaimed. They all rushed towards it.
     The kid lept out in front of them. "Are you here for the Masatoon?" the child asked.
     "Of course!" Babs said.
     "Thought so. Hold on a minute..." and the kid left for a second.
     He came back with his brother.
     "What is it Toon?" the one child asked the other.
     "There here for the Masatoon?" the one asked. the other nodded yes.
     "Not again!" he said. "So, you want the Masatoon. What fools! You need knowledge, wisdom and power to get the sword!" the one said. "Toons are so silly. It's how you use the sword that's important...not who uses it."
     The two stood close together and became dual creatures. "Prove yourself!" the one yelled.
     Babs pointed to the wall and said, "Look over there!"
     "What is it?" the two said as they turned around and looked at the wall.
     Buster grabbed the sword and said, "Yoink!" Then the three of them dashed out of the cave and down the mountains.
     "Wow, they really do posses the power and wisdom of the ancient wise ones," one said. The other nodded in agreement.
     The three of them reached the base of the mountain and examined their sword.
     "Hey, this thing is busted!" Babs said.
     "Who cares? Maybe Plucky will take it anyway," Buster said. They brought it to Plucky.
     The entered the forest and went into the hole where Plucky was.
     "I told you, get me the sword or I walk!!!" Plucky said on the cellphone he was talking on.
     Plucky turned around and saw Buster, Babs and Hamton standing there. "I told you I'm not coming back until my demands are met!" Plucky said. They handed him the sword.
     "Woo hoo! The sword!!!" Plucky said. He looked down at the sword and said, "Hey! Wait a minute! It's broken!" Plucky said," come back when it's fixed!"
     "How do we get this thing fixed?" Babs asked Buster.
     "We'll take it to Dizzy the weaponsmith," Buster suggested. They all went through the portal and via the end of time ended up in a house in Loon Village in 1 000 A.D.
     "Like hello and some junk!" Babs said.
     "You're so totally lame. You're like totally fake!" the people replied.
     "Totally get 'em and some junk!" they said. The three ran away and went to Dizzy's dewelling.
     The entered and saw no one inside. "Hey, where's Dizzy?" Buster asked.
     There was a note on the table: "Sorry, me on road selling weapons. Eat yummy food. Come back later - Dizzy."
     "What!?! That hairy idiot is gone when we actually need him?!?" Babs yelled angrily.
     They headed back to 600 A.D. to go and try to convince Plucky to rejoin them.
     On their way back to Plucky's hideout in 600 AD, they came across Tata's house. The three walked inside and Tata was standing there.
     "You guys from the mountain, come here!" Tata explained to them, "I found this. It got dropped by some mouthy Duck in a cafe," and he handed them a gold medal."
     Take it. I'm no hero," Tata said. Tata's father came in and said," Scoundrel! I knew this was a scam!"
     The three of them left. "Maybe Plucky will take this medal. It's gold," Buster said. They took it to Plucky.
     They came down the rope ladder with the shimmering golden object. "Why are you back?" Plucky asked. the gold caught his eye. "Gold! Gold!! Woo hoo! Forget the dumb sword, I want that!!!"
     Buster told him, "All you have to do is come back and we'll give it to you."
     "Thou hast convinced me to return," Plucky said.
     "Where do we go from here?" asked Babs.
     "We need to defeat Shirley Magus to stop Cencos from ever existing," Buster said.
     "To beat thy enemy, Shirley, thou art needeth thee sword Masatoon," Plucky said.
     Plucky opened up a small box in the room and handed them the broken off piece of the Masatoon. "Here," Plucky said.
     Hamton looked at the object. "Something is written on it," Hamton said.
     "What does that say?" Babs asked. It was several strange characters written on a sword.
     "I'll translate," Hamton said. " Heigh......neiche..... fny.... cruh..." Hamton said.
     "You can read it?" asked Babs.
     "No, I'm clearing my throat," Hamton said. Babs looked annoyed.
     "It actually said this: y.... z..... z..... i.... d...." Hamton said.
     "Yzzid? What's that?" Babs asked.
     "It's Dizzy backwards. We have to go see Dizzy," Buster said.
     "Dizzy? That guy in the loon village?" Babs asked.
     Plucky told them, "You guys go and get the sword, 'cause thou art need a  new contract."
     Buster said," I thought you were going to come back from the gold," Buster said.
     "Changed my mind. Get the sword," Plucky said.
     "Is he really worth it?" Babs asked.
     "No, but we need to beat Shirley Magus, so I guess we need the sword anyway. Plus, we could use a human shield," Buster said. The two chuckled and left to go see Dizzy.
     After a trip through the gate and to another gate, they ended up in Loon Village and left to see Dizzy.
     They walked to Dizzy's home. The old painted sign had been replaced by a sign where all the letters were cut out of magazines. They came inside and saw Dizzy.
     "You back. Want to see me collection?" Dizzy asked.
     "No, we need you to fix this," Buster said, handing him the sword.
     "Ohh. Pretty sword. where you get it?" Dizzy asked.
     "Why's your name engraved on the sword?" Buster asked.
     "It.... long story," Dizzy said. " You want to hear story?" Dizzy asked.
     "Not really," Buster said.
     Babs elbowed him a bit in the side and she said, "Sure."
     Dizzy explained that they needed dreamstone to fix the sword. "I have no data of such a rock," Hamton said.
      "You no find anymore," Dizzy said.
			Chapter 12: The Rare Red Rock
     "Where could we go that far back to find this red rock?" Babs asked.
     "Let's ask the old guy in the end of time," Buster suggested. They went in the gate and headed for the end of time. Like everytime they entered the gate, they saw the rings like around the Tiny Toons logo and the trip within it was blue.
     They came up to the old guy at the end of time, who was asleep. "HEY OLD GUY!!!" Babs yelled in his ear.
     He was awaken, his head spinning and ears ringing, he asked, "What do you brats want?"
     "We need to find some dreamstone," Buster said.
     "You can find it in the prehistoric era," the old man said.
     Buster, Babs and Hamton headed to the corner and entered the gate to the prehistoric era.
     The old man sat there, trying to get back to sleep, and thought to himself, "I don't know if they'll find any or not. I just wanted to get rid of 'em."
     The three of them landed on the edge of a cliff and fell down, splattering into the ground. They pulled themselves together.
     "Is anyone else noticing a disturbing trend about where these gates open?" Babs asked.
     They looked around and saw green, scaly creatures running around. "Half Toon, half dinosaur," Hamton said. A group of them surrounded them and were about to attack when a green cloud came around them.
     A sour smell knocked all the attackers out. "Ze stupide lizaards!" the voice said in a heavy French accent.
     "Who is THAT?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know, but her power is very useful," Hamton said.
     The strange woman took the creatures away with the foul scent to finish them when more came to attack. Hamton pulled out his vacuum and switched it to push and blew them away.
     The strange girl came back. "What the heck is she?" Babs asked. The girl had gray animal skins on and a large, puffy tail. She was purple all around except for white on her torso and face.
     "I wouldn't upset her," Hamton said, "she looks like a skunk."
     "We're not looking for a fight," Babs said. She rushed up to Buster and pushed him up against the cliff.
     "Ze trois of you are strong. What is your name?" the girl asked.
     "Buster," He replied.
     "Buster? Tres manufique," she said. " I am Fifi," she said in a strong French accent.
     Fifi examined them all. "Where are you from?" Fifi asked Buster.
     "Way after the day after tomorrow," Buster said.
     "You are tres funny," Fifi said.
     "You come to ze village. Ve talk and eat escargot. Dance! Eat! Fun for me es vous!"
     "We'd love to but we have to find dreamstone," Babs said.
     "Stone? Ve have plenty of stones. You come with me, I'll show you ze rocks," Fifi said. They began following her to her village.
     On their way to her village, Buster asked Babs, "Hey, Babs. How come she's talking so strange?" Buster asked.
     "She's talking an ancient primitive language, French," she said.
     "Wow, this culture must really be underveloped,"Buster said.
     In the town, there were French signs everywhere. There were small huts everywhere. There was absolutely no technology anywhere. A sign around there said, "Downtown Montreal."
     They followed Fifi into her hut. " Welcome to mon maison," Fifi said. "Ve vill have party."
     They were brought to an open area and they stood on a stage next to Fifi.
     "Listen! Zese are new friends," Fifi said. "This iz strong man, Buster. Amis de Crono, Hamton et Babs."
     "Oui! Oui!" the gathered group said.
     People began to play drums in the area. "Buster, manger, danser, et chanter!"      Buster asked Hamton, "What did she say?"
     "She said eat dance and sing," Hamton replied.
     "These ancient civilizations really talk strange," Buster commented.
     After about half an hour of listening to terrible music, Babs said, "this is worse then listening to John Tesh in concert!" Buster nodded in agreement.
     On a table was a bowl. "Hey look, food!" Buster said excitedly. Babs and him walked over to it.
     "come on, try some Pois dans l'eau!" Babs said.
     " What's that?" Buster asked.
     "Peas on water. Are you rabbit or mouse? Eat it all in one gulp!" Buster took the bowl and downed it.
     Babs chuckled. "Burrp," Babs belched out. Buster walked away after that.
     "Buster, you try les special soupes? Tres bien!" Fifi said. " Fifi fight ze reptiles. They're leader, Azala, tres mal! All people in ze village fight. We must go to ze Luruba villae to fight ze lizards."
     A few more moments passed. "Buster, you search for ze red rock. I am ze strongest in this village, so it is moi rock! You vish to challenge Fifi? You vin and I vill give you ze rock!" Fifi said.
     Fifi and Crono had a soup eating contest. Buster defeated her.
     "You may have ze rock," Fifi said. After all that soup, Buster fell asleep. He awoke the next morning with nobody else around but Babs and Hamton.
     "Babs, you really acted weird last night," Buster said.
     "What are you talking about? I was a perfect lady last night.... so why does my stomach hurt so much?"
     After a second of looking around, Babs exclaimed, "It's gone! The gate key is gone! We're stuck here!"
     There were footprints all over the ground, which they all assumed were left by the thief.
     The three went and talked to Fifi. "Huh? Buster, you are up already?" Fifi asked, followed by a long, sustained yawn.
     "Sorry to wake you up, but we've been robbed!" Babs said.
     "Robbed! Ze thief! Ze scoundrel! Ze fiend!" she said. "It must have been ze reptiles. Buster come with me, and ve vill find ze reptiles."
     Hamton came with them, as all the prehistoric soup left Babs feeling ill.
			 Chapter 13: Footsteps! Follow!
     Fifi led them to a forest south of their primitive village of Montreal. In the forest, they saw Kino, a person who attended the party last night and who didn't feel too pleasant about newcomers.
     "Kino, vat did you do?" Fifi asked him. He said nothing. "Tell me now!" Fifi said, pointing her tail, ready to spray her foul and deadly smell.
     "Ok, I vill tell you everything. I took Buster's stuff," he said.
     "Vy did you take his stuff?" Fifi asked.
     "I like you best, Fifi, but vu like Buster! I don't like Buster!"
     Fifi sprayed him a little with her awful, wretched scent. "Ugh! I have been sprayed!" he yelled.
     "Where is ze item?" Fifi asked. 
     "Ze lizards took it!" Kino replied.
     "Sacre bleu! We must find them!" Fifi exclaimed.
     Kino was sent home and Buster, Hamton and Fifi followed the lizard footprints which were left in the light colored dirt around the flourishing green trees.
     The forest was one big maze. "How are we going to make our way through here?" Buster asked.
     "Leeve it to me!" Fifi said. She pulled out her skunk tail and sprayed it everywhere. All the trees wilted, making the path easy to see.
     "Buster," Babs said.
     "What?" Buster asked.
     "That must've been how that area in our time got cleared out and died!" Buster never though of it like that. How a lot of what they were doing now determined what the future looked like.
     No matter the destruction to the forest, the three made it out of the forest and found the reptile lair. It was a caved cut out of the rockface of a short mountain in the dead center of the forest.
     "Zere it iz!" Fifi said. "Ze reptile lair!" The three walked inside and saw several torches lining the wall. The band of three walked into the next room and suddenly were surrounded by lizards.
     "Get zem!" Fifi commanded.
     Buster struck one with his sword, but it only shattered the sword. "Uh oh," Buster said. The sword was fine again moments later, but they needed a plan.
     Fifi tried spraying, but to no avail.
     "Ze lizards must be beaten by thundaire!" Fifi said. Buster pointed his finger and decided to try the electricity ability granted by Gogo to him.
     He thought it would be the usual small charge, but he was wrong. It was a huge bolt, and as it fired, pushed Buster to the ceiling. He was slammed into several hard rocks by the force of his own power, but it fried the lizards.
     "Tres manifique!" Fifi said.
     "Oww," Buster commented. The three of them had to proceed through a few more rooms, distroying lizards and fighting their way through.
     For the next few attempts, Buster's bolts only pushed him back to the wall and didn't slam him into the wall.
     Finally, they reached the end room. The lizard king, Azala was standing asking himself, "Could the apes have made something this advanced?"
     Azayla turned around and noticed them standing there. "You don't look like this Toon here," Azayla said.
     "Give us the key back!" Babs ordered.
     "No, tell me about it first," he said. They refused.
     "Fine, I wasn't planning to give it back anyway!" he said. Buster fired a few bolts. Nothing happened. Azayla began to laugh. As he cackled, Fifi fired her disgusting scent into the air, and Ayazla passed out.
     The three walked over and picked up the gate key. Then, they all headed back to Montreal.
     "You're leaving?" Fifi asked.
     "Yeah, we have to go. Thanks for all your help," Buster said.
     "I am zorry for stealing ze key," Kino said. They forgave him, and headed back to the gate. The three lept into the familiar mode of transportation.
			Chapter 14: The Masatoon!
     The group of them finally had the rock to get the Masatoon fixed and get Plucky to rejoin them. They headed back to Dizzy's house.
     They walked in tired and still a bit sick from the bad soup. "Dizzy, we found the dreamstone," Buster said.
     "You find stone? I repair Masatoon!" Dizzy said. He took the sword downstairs. Calamity Coyote, who decided to accompany them for a while, aided in the repair of the sword.
     Dizzy was asked by a sign, "How are we gonna fix it?"
     Dizzy replied with," You work on dreamstone. Me work on sword."
     After hours of work and Calamity getting a huge buzz off way too much coffee, it was done. The sword was handed over to them.
     "How odd," Hamton said. "My sensors are picking up...spiritual energy!"
     "That be everything," Dizzy said.
     "Buster, let's take the Masatoon to Plucky." The group left Dizzy's hut with the intent of finally ending this stupid contract dispute with Plucky.
     On their way to a gate to get to the time Plucky was in ( Dizzy was in 1000, and Plucky was in 600 ), Babs said, "Don't you think it's dumb that Warner Bros. gives Plucky a new contract and everything he wants while we are left walking around here doing all the work and we get nothing?"
     " I don't like it, either," Buster said. "On the other hand, if we don't beat Shirley Magus and stop Cencos, there will be no WB to pay us!"
     Calamity went back to the end of time while Buster, Babs and Hamton all reached Plucky's forest hideout in 600 A.D.
     Plucky, as before, was on his cell phone with his agent. "You're back!" he said suprised when Buster, Babs and Hamton emerged from the ladder.
     "Look, we got you your stupid sword, and the gold medal. Will you come back now?" Buster asked.
     "You did all that for me?" Plucky asked. Buster nodded yes. Plucky broke out laughing. "I always knew you were a sap!" Plucky said between spurts of hysterical laughter.
     After regaining his composure, Plucky said, "Yeah, I"ll come back, for I must defeateth thy sworn foe, Shirley Magus and revenge Sir Cyrus, a truly noble warrior!"
     "I definetley didn't miss the way he talks in this episode while he was gone!" Buster said.
     They decided to rest in Plucky's hideout that night. He had moved several beds, a T.V., a Playstation and a computer in there.
     "Were you planning on living here or what?" asked Babs.
     "Of course not. I was just making it a little cozier," Plucky replied.
     That night, Plucky remembered something. the screen got somewhat blurry around the edges and the color was faded in this memory. It was what most cartoon characters feared: A flashback!
     It began with Cyrus, Plucky's old friend in the castle.
     "Cyrus, are you leaving?" asked Queen Leene. " Yes, it's time we took back the hero medal  from the Frog King. and I'd like to see the mythical sword for myself!" Cyrus said.
     The king protested, saying, "But the kingdom needs you!" Cyrus said something as he walked out, "As long as there is life in these bones, I will return."
     On his way out, the Knights of the square table wished him a safe journey. Cyrus then came to the front door of the castle, where a young enthusiastic Plucky waited for him.
     "Pardon the delay. shall we be off?" he asked.
     The Queen stopped them for a second before they left to say, "Plucky you be careful, too."
     "Be sound of health, your majesty," Plucky replied. Plucky was only 10 at the time, and he's 14 now.
     The two reached a battle point in the forest. After spending hours fighting off waves of attacks, they met up with the frog king.
     "So, you want the badge of courage? Well... come and get it if you can!" Cyrus struck it and it lived, but surrendered the coveted item.
     Later on, the two reached a mountain summit. Shirley Magus, with long purple hair and red, demonic eyes was waiting with loyal servant Fowl Mouth Ozzie. Cyrus was without any weapons.
     Plucky was weak from fighting their way up. "Cyrus...I'm... a goner...." Plucky said. "
     Plucky, escape while I keep them at bay!" Cyrus ordered.
     "You like totally better worry about yourself and some junk!" The evil Shirley Magus said. Her voice was not that of the Shirley the Loon we're all familiar with. This voice was deeper and more evil sounding.
     "Go, Plucky, go!"Cyrus yelled. " Like, this is no time for cheerleading.
     Plucky, who seemed to instantly dawn a cheerleading outfit, said, "Oh, darn," in frustration. There went his most brilliant plan to escape this fight.
     Cyrus charged after Shirley Magus, but she sent out several beams of electricity from her hair. It killed Cyrus. His last words were, "Run, Plucky!"
     Plucky was left all alone to confront Shirley Magus and Fowlmouth Ozzie.
     "What's the matter, kid? Aren't you going to try your luck?" Fowlmouth Ozzie asked.
     "Like, does the cat totally have your tongue or what, kid?" Shirley Magus asked.
     "How about it Shirl? Can you change this kid into something more ****ing pleasing?" Fowlmouth Ozzie asked.
     "Let's change him from this honorable knight into a greedy, sarcastic, selfish brat!" Fowlmouth Ozzie suggested.
     "Like, why do we need another copy of you? Duh!" Shirley Magus replied. she laughed, but made the changed and sent Plucky hurdling off a cliff.
     The flashback ended. "Four years hath passed," Plucky said.
     "That explains why you turned out a selfish, annoying, greedy and immature brat. It was because of demonic forces! Isn't that great?" Babs asked.
     "Oh, just wonderful!" Plucky replied sarcastically.
     They all prepared to set out to fight Shirley Magus. "Though we may fail....let us goeth to the layer of thee Shirley Magus, for if we meet certain doom, we shall have died with honor!" Plucky declared.
     "Where does Plucky get all these medieval expressions from?" Babs asked.
     Plucky pulled out a huge dictionary labeled," the big book of Irritating and overused medieval expressions."
     They decided not to travel all together ( actually, WB only wanted to pay to have three characters on the screen at any one time ). Buster, Plucky and Babs all traveled to Shirley Magus' lair together. It would be a hard journey, but they needed to make it, and not just to fill air time.
     Buster, Babs and Plucky emerged from the place where Plucky had been hiding. A green forest with dense foliage and several large, old trees surrounded them.
     "So, how do we find Shirley Magus?" Buster asked Plucky. " I don't know. Let's look around," Plucky replied.
     The three of them wandered around for hours. Nobody knew how to get to Shirley Magus' lair, and it led them to a dead end.
     "Great! We can't find the villain! Now how am I going to get rich and famous off of this?" Plucky asked angrily.
     The three of them had ended up at a large wall.
     Once again the screen got somewhat blurred and the color faded. Time for another flashback.
     Plucky remembered being really young and a group of boys chasing him. "Get back here!" one yelled.
     Plucky kept running and eventually ran into his friend, Cyrus. "What's going on here?" Cyrus asked.
     "They're after me!" Plucky exclaimed," I don't know why!"
     One of the chasers said, "He stole my wallet!"
     Plucky laughed nervously and handed it back. The group of chasers left, and Cyrus, who was only twelve at this time ( Plucky would have been about 4 ) began telling Plucky how he'd have to grow up one day. I guess that day hasn't come yet.
     Plucky then flashbacked to a later time. Him and Cyrus were both a bit older now.
     Cyrus told him, "Hey, Plucky. I've been thinking about becoming a knight."
     "Are you insane?!?" Plucky asked," you'll get killed!"
     Cyrus looked at Plucky angrily and said, "Thanks for your vote of confidence." They stood silently for a moment before Cyrus asked, "Why don't you join, too?"
     "I don't think I'd make the cut," Plucky said.
     "Sure you would," Cyrus said. "Just come to Acmia Castle tomorrow morning at nine and..."
     Plucky interrupted and said, "Tomorrow at nine? I don't want to wake up by then!"
     "You'd make lots of money," Cyrus said. Plucky's eyes suddenly lit up. He decided to enlist.
     He then remembered Cyrus' death again. He remembered after being thrown of the cliff by Shirley Magus, something landed next to him. Cyrus' golden medal. The same one Buster gave him so he would sign a new contract and get back in this episode.
     The flashback ended, and Babs said, "Hey, Plucky. Judging by these flashbacks you keep having, Shirley Magus really didn't do anything to you.  You were always lazy and greedy. Isn't that great?"
     Plucky, looking annoyed said, "Makeseth my day" in a very sarcastic manner.
     "Handeth over the Masatoon!" Plucky ordered. Babs handed him the sword.
     "What are you planning to do with that?" Babs asked.
     Plucky thought for a moment, looking as if he was posing for a camera and plunged the sword into the wall. The Masatoon was Cyrus' sword, and it was what got Cyrus to be rich and famous. Plucky hoped it would do the same thing for him.
     "I taketh the sword of Cyrus, and hopeth that it can bring me the wealth and fame it brotteth him!"
     Nothing happened with the sword. Plucky kicked it, annoyed. "Oww!" Plucky exclaimed, holding his foot in pain, "Isn't it supposed to do something? Like, tell me how to find Shirley Magus or something. Come on you dumb sword!!!"
     The sword began to glow. A translucent blue light was shot out of it, and the wall opened.
     They walked in and saw a dark cave with a few lit torches and bats flying around everywhere. Plucky grabbed one of the torches to light their path through the cave.
     While walking through the cave, a few hideous green creatures approached them.
     They were pretty short. Plucky, snickering, walked up to him and hit him with the Masatoon. The sword rattled and shook and Plucky started vibrating. Buster grabbed his arm and stopped the shaking.
     They tried a different method. Babs fired off a stream of water. Before, it was just like a small water gun when she fired it, but all of their powers had increased.
     After Babs fired this water, Plucky stood there with his jaw open all the way to the ground. Buster walked up and lifted up his jaw back up to the rest of his face.
     "How'd you do THAT?" Plucky asked.
     Buster told him," we'll show you later."
     They reached the end of the cave. Once they exited, they saw a large, dark structure. It had a statue of Shirley Magus herself on the top of it. All of this building was made of bronze colored stone. Bats surrounded it.
     Babs, suddenly looking like a real estate agent, commented in a southern accent, "Isn't it just so cozy? All the comforts of Transylvania."
     Turning back to normal, Babs said, "Who are we going to fight, Shirley Magus or Marilyn Manson? This is the weirdest place I've ever seen!"
     The front door had an odd, black welcome mat that said, "Welcome to the site of your death.
     "Wow. Very welcoming. I guess no girl scouts come around here selling cookies," Babs said.
     "'Tis the slightest bit odd," Plucky said.
     They opened the door to a highly terrifying sound. They could hear Barry Manalow emanating from within.
     "This place is too wierdeth for me, I'm going back," Plucky said. Babs grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
     "You're the guy who wants to beat Shirley Magus so much, remember?" Babs asked.
     "Oh, righteth," Plucky replied, disappointed that he couldn't get out of this that easily.
			Chapter 15: Shirley Magus' lair
     The inside had only very small lava lamps lighting up their path, and they were more distracting than anything else.
     The floor, wall and ceiling were all dark blue. Crystal balls were at the end of every banister on the stairs within, and the haunting music continued to play.
     The three of them walked up the first small flight of stairs. They creaked as they walked up.
     "Good thing we left Hamton at the end of time. These stairs could go at any minute. Imagine if we had brought him!" Babs said. Buster frowned, pretending to defend their portly, cybernetic friend, but couldn't help but laugh a little at it.
     After three or four more sets of stairs, they were met by Fowlmouth Ozzie. He was wearing a large white robe and his red mohawk-type hairdo was still there.
     "Ha, you little ****! You're really gonna get you *** kicked now!" Fowlmouth Ozzie. The group looked on angrily at him.
     Fowlmouth Ozzie snapped his fingers and said, "Hey! Rhubella! Hurry it up!!"
     Rhubella rat followed came out from a door behind Fowlmouth Ozzie.
     "Yeah? Whaddaya want?" she asked, with a cigarette in her mouth.
     "Beat these guys up!" Fowlmouth Ozzie ordered. Fowlmouth then left the room.
     "It's a..... hey, Babs, is that a guy or a girl?" Plucky asked. Babs looked closely for a moment.
     "No idea," she replied. Rhubella's face got red and incensed. She pulled out a giant cigarette.
     "Let's see who's laughing in a minute!" she cried. She raised her hands in the air, and the volume on the horrific music got louder.
     Buster, Babs, and Plucky all knelt down, holding their ears in pain. Rhubella than fired thick smoke from her oversized cigarette into the air, causing the three of them to cough madly.
     "Got any bright ideas?" Buster asked between cough spurts.
     Babs got up for a moment, thanks to the help of ACME earplugs to tune out the dreadful music, and suddenly was dressed as a police woman.
     "Excuse me, sir... or ma'am," she began, "this is a no smoking area." Rhubella gave her a peculiar look, and then took another puff from the immense cigarette.
     "Maybe I didn't make myself clear," Babs said. She took a no smoking sign and hit Rhubella with it.
     Just then, Roderick showed up utilizing the same cigarette attack.
     "Do I have to send you to jail, son?" Babs asked. 
     "Jail?" Rhubella and Roderick asked nervously. Babs nodded yes.
     "Wait, I'll stop," Rhubella said.
     "Me, Too!" Roderick said.
     "You just get outta hear before I write you up," Babs said. Rhubella and Roderick ran very quickly out of there.
     "She's got no guts," Babs commented. Now the first real threat of this towering structure had been passed.
     Fowlmouth Ozzie came out of the room behind them, saying, "Hey , Rhubella you finish...." Then he looked and saw the three standing there, and he said, "Oh, ****!" He then fled quickly.
     "Should we run after him?" Babs asked.
     "Why? It's not like he'll ever fight back," Buster replied. "He's all talk and no action."
     "But the talking itself is pretty nefarious," Babs commented. The others nodded in agreement.
     They walked into the room behind them where Fowlmouth Ozzie has gone.
     In the next room, they saw Hamton, Calamity, Buster's mom, and Plucky's agent all standing there.
     "What're you guys doin' here?" Buster asked.
     Buster's mom stepped forward and talked to him, "You despicable little brat! Children this vile deserved to be punished!" She then transformed from Buster's aging mother into a hideous monster, still in the dress.
     It growled at Buster, standing only inches away. "Hey, you forgot to shave your legs," Buster told it. The thing looked down and saw it was wearing a pink dress with hairy legs.
     "How embarrassing!" the creature exclaimed as it ran out of the room.
     The next one to deal with was Calamity.
     "Calamity, why are you here?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know," Calamity said back.
     Buster aimed his finger and fired thousands of volts into him.
     "Buster! what are you doing?" Babs asked.
     "That's not Calamity," Buster said. He walked up to the zapped body and pulled back the mask, "see?"
     "How'd you know?" Babs asked.
     "Calamity never talks," Buster said.
     "Really? I never noticed," Babs replied.
     They looked on at the remaining people. They looked authentic, but the group had picked up on the fact that they were all phonies, except for Plucky.
     Plucky's fake agent began to say, "I don't want any commission. I got you a big contract on that sequel to Titanic. All you have to do is come with me."
     Plucky began to follow it. Buster and Babs both quickly pulled Plucky away from the slick haired, black suited agent.
     "Plucky! He's not real!" Buster told him.
     "But, what he said sounded so wonderful!" Plucky argued in a voice higher than usual.
     In a second, Plucky snapped out of it and the creatures ran for their lives.
     Another door appeared in the back of the room. A red carpet led to it.
     The three of them walked through the large, wooden door. The next room had a staircase that seemed to reach up around a hundred feet.
     "Great, look at the size of those stairs!" Babs complained.
     The three of them walked over to the stairs. They took a few steps and suddenly, the stairs behind them began to collapse.
     "Hurry!" Buster yelled. The falling stair was always the one right behind them.
     On their frantic dash up the stairs, Plucky tripped.
     "Plucky!" Babs yelled.
     Suddenly, the stairs stopped falling right before they got to the one Plucky was on.
     "Wait a second," Plucky said as he pulled himself up and walked to the next stair.
     When he reached the next stair, the one behind him fell. Plucky chuckled a little. It was a stupid trap that couldn't really pose any danger.
     They climbed all the flights of stairs and saw a large door with the words, "Keep out!" posted on it.
     "Yeah, Shirley, like that's going to keepeth me from slaying thee!" Plucky said, standing on his tip toes and with one finger in the air.
     He reached and turned the knob, receiving a huge electric shock.
     While Plucky was being zapped, Buster opened the door and he and Babs walked in.
     "Coming, Plucky?" Babs asked. Plucky stood there, singed and covered in black soot.
     "Oh, sure. Just letteth me starteth to breathing again," Plucky replied.
     Plucky dusted himself off and followed those two into the next room.
     It was empty. Just like nearly every other room in the lair.
     "Great! Thou art hast traveled all this way to find a dead end!" Plucky said in frustration.
     Babs, now looking like Sherlock Holmes, said, "Oh, Pluckson. Simple deduction tells us that she isn't going to just let us into her hiding spot. Why, I say we search for clues and...ahhh...."
     Babs had accidentally stumbled upon a trap door. She fell and a loud crash was heard on the main floor.
     Buster and Plucky shrugged and jumped in after her.
     When they all reached the botoom, Babs said in obvious pain, ".... elementary, dear Watson...... "
     They all recovered from their fall momentarily, but there was absolutely no light on the room.
     "Buster, do that strange lightning thing and get some light in here," Babs said.
     Buster fired off a small shot, but it accidentally hit Plucky.
     "Improveth thy aim," Plucky said.
     Buster tried again, and the small flash revealed an image of somebody standing in the room with them. Within seconds a light was flipped on, and they saw who the person in the room with them was.
     She was taller than Buster. She had long purple hair, a purple dress and large, blood red eyes. It was Shirley Magus.
     She wasn't looking at them. In fact, as far as anyone could tell, she didn't know anybody else was in the room.
     "Like, all might and cool stuff knowing Cencos. Totally change this world and some junk," Shirley Magus said.
     Small, blue fires appeared in a circle around her. Shirley Magus levitated.
     She hummed for a moment before Plucky yelled at her, "Shirley Magus, I haveth something for thee. For thy evil deeds mustn't go unpunished, and thou art must pay for thy evil crimes, and I must go forth and..."
     Shirley Magus interrupted him with, "Like, do you ever shut up?"
     Plucky pulled out a banana peel and said, "I shall slay you with this!"
     Shirley Magus laughed.
     "Sorry, wrong weapon," Plucky said, embarrassed.
     Plucky frowned and held up the Masatoon.
     "Like, you have that totally dumb sword," Shirley Magus said.
     Plucky responded with, "Ha! This dumb sword is going to do you in!"
     Shirley snapped her finger and suddenly, gained control of Buster's arm. She forced Buster to fire lightning at Plucky.
     "Like, even your friends don't like you," Shirley said, followed by demonic laughter.
     "I have an idea," Plucky told Babs while ducking away from Buster.
     He walked over and hit Buster across the face.
     "Come on!" Plucky said.
     Babs walked over and they both pummeled him madly.
     "Ow!" Buster said as they tried to get him to regain control oh his limbs, "Why don't you hit Shirley instead?"
     Plucky replied, "Yeah, I never would've though of that!"
     Plucky walked over with the Masatoon sword and said, "No more shall thy cause pain upon the citizens of this land, for I..."
     And then Plucky was interrupted by Buster yelling at him, "Shut up and use your sword!"
     Plucky finally was quiet, drew his sword and swung. He missed entirely and was sent flying by the force of his swing.
     Buster, who finally regained control of himself, said, "Plucky, what are you doing?"
     "Sorry, Buster, I've never actually tried hitting anything with this before," Plucky replied, pulling himself off the ground.
     Shirley Magus was cackling at their blundering efforts. Babs walked over to her and said, "Like, your hair is totally messed up. Maybe you should go fix it."
     Shirley's hand formed into a mirror, and a snake came out of her mouth to fix her hair.
     "I think she could use a breath mint," Plucky commented.
     "Like, my hair is totally fine," Shirley Magus said. "Now, you must like totally pay and some junk."
     Babs looked scared for her life at the approaching demonic loon.
     Shirley Magus walked over to her and played the evil Barry Manalow music from before in her ear.
     "No! No!" Babs exclaimed.
     The music was utterly horrible. Babs was virtually paralyzed with fear and disgust by the terrible sound.
     Buster tried to zap her with the electricity bolts Gogo endowed him with, but when he fired it, Shirley pulled out her hair dryer. It intercepted the blast and suddenly switched on.
     As the battle progressed, a crystal ball in the back of the room was growing. Inside the ball, images of "quality" television flashed. This was the device being used to call on the despicable Cencos.
     Shirley levitated Buster into the air and began slamming him into the ceiling repeatedly.
     "Thou art shall perish!" Plucky declared while he charged at Shirley Magus and slashed her with the Masatoon.
     Shirley Magus' eyes became a darker shade of red.
     "Like, you will totally die for that!" she said in a deeper tone than usual.
     She attempted to lift up Plucky, too. All of the sudden, Babs recovered from the music. A small vision of Gogo appeared in front of her.
     "Use your greatest fear against her," Gogo advised.
     Babs thought for a moment, "Hmm.... greatest fear..... greatest fear.... whoa! I've got it!"
     Shirley was weakened from the shot of the Masatoon. Buster fell from the ceiling and splatted on the floor.
     "Buster, come here!" Babs ordered. "Plucky! You, too!"
     The three converged for a moment, and within seconds a horrifying, shrill voice was heard.
     "Ohh..... the cutie wootie loonie is evil weevil and cutsie wootsie!!!"
     Suddenly, Elmyra came out, her arms extended.
     "AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Shirley Magus screamed.
     She ran away in fear with Plucky, Buster and Babs all laughing hysterically.
     "Babs, how'd you know what would get rid of her?" Buster asked.
     "Gogo told me to summon my greatest fear," Babs replied.
     The ability to bring on a toons greatest fear and utilize it as a weapon came from combining power. Buster and Babs had the power given to them from Gogo, but Plucky didn't. If he had, and they combined them, the consequences could've been devastating.
     In her running for her life, Shirley Magus ran into the enlarging crystal ball in the back of the room. It shattered.
     "No!!!! Like, look at what you've done!" Shirley shrieked.
     "Ooh. I think I should leave," Elmyra said, and then she retreated from the room.
     "Hah! Thy evil scheme foiled by the great Plucky..." Plucky said, getting angry looks from Buster and Babs,".... oh, right. And, uh... friends..."
     A large swirl appeared from the shattered crystal. All the small, blue flames in the room disappeared. The room became one large blur.     
     "Is it Cencos?" cried Babs.
     "Like, this is totally bad karma. Like, Cencos buddy. Stay asleep!" Shirley Magus said.
     "What are you talking about? Didn't you create it?" Babs asked.
     "Like, you're so totally out of it. I only summoned it and some junk," Shirley Magus told Babs. "He lives in the planet like absorbing energy and gaining some cool powers"
     "So he wasn't born in this period?" Buster asked.
     "Whatteth is going oneth?" Plucky asked.
     "Enough with 'eth!'" Babs said.
     A gate opened as the blurred room shook violently.
     "It's a huge gate!" yelled Buster.
     "Like, if you people would've totally stayed at home...." Shirley Magus began.
     It was too late. The room fazed out and they were all pulled in. A loud sound, like the gritting of enormous teeth were heard.
			Chapter 16: The terrible dream
     The ring of the bell at the millennial fair was heard.
     "Buster! Buster! Wake up Buster!" Babs said.
     Babs walked up and said, "Buster, shouldn't you go to work? We can't just leach off my parents all our lives. Go get a job!"
     "Go, husband dear!" Babs ordered
     "What? We're married?" Buster asked.
     Babs nodded yes.
     "AAHHH!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
     Buster awoke in the prehistoric era with Fifi standing above him.
			Chapter 17: Forward to the past
     "Iz ze strange rabbit awake yet?" she asked.
     Buster nodded yes.
     "Fifi?" Babs asked.
     "I had un strange dream. I went to ze mystique mountain and found you all hurt," she said," I carried you back to ze hut."
     "Magus!" Plucky said.
     "Mmm. Ze duck looks like he would make exquisite Duck a l'orange!" Fifi said.
     "Don't even think about it, sister!" Plucky said.
     The three of them recovered for a moment.
     "Shirley Magus said Cencos was developed in the distant past," Babs pointed out.
     Fifi left the room. It was a prehistoric hut with sabretooth tiger rugs.
     Buster, relieved to discover that what he originally awoke to was only a dream, decided the three of them should rest for a moment. They all ended up sleeping twelve hours, with Plucky snoring loudly the whole time.
     They awoke to Fifi saying, "We must distroy ze lizards! Buster! Help us to wipe out ze lizards!"
     Buster agreed, and the three headed north. In the Laruba Village ruins to the north, they were told Fifi's friend, Kino was missing and probably taken by the reptiles.
     Fifi was standing in the ruins, being lectured by an old man.
     "This is all your fault!" he said.
     "Sacre bleu! It's no my fault ze lizards followed moi," she said.
     "We need to distroy ze lizards!" he said.
     "We need un dactyl to stop ze lizards!" Fifi said.
     Fifi explained her plan ( entirely in French ) to go to the Reptile Lair and destroy them, but they needed a dactyl to do that.
     Buster, Babs and Plucky, not having any clue what she was talking about, followed her to where she was supposed to pick up her dactyls.
     "Where is thou going?" Plucky asked.
     "Uhh.... " Fifi stuttered. She didn't think they'd go along if they knew where they were actually going, "Uhh..... Euro Disneyland."
     They all suddenly looked nauseous, but agreed to go anyway.
     They flew the dactyls to the lizard lair. Plucky had a very difficult time steering his. It kept tipping over.
     Fifi began to set down. It was a pitch black cave surrounded by only rock.
     "You know. they're both bad, but I think the American one is better," Buster said about it.
     "You guys, I have lied to vu. Zis is not Dizneyland. This iz the retile lair," she said.
     "Why didn't you just say that? It's a lot less frightening than what you suggested," Babs said.
     They set down their large, brown birds and walked inside.
     The lair was large and metallic with large spikes coming out of it. It looked to be way ahead of time, considering this was 65 million B.C. and the pre-historic era.
     The inside had bones lining every wall, and torches lining the way. Guards could be seen everywhere.
     "How do we get past them?" Babs asked.
     "Leave it to moi," Fifi replied.
     A translucent green gas seeped forward with a long hissing sound. It knocked all the guards in the room out cold.
     The four of them proceeded forward. They encountered two large dinosaur skulls: one open and one closed.
     "Do we have to go through those?" Babs asked.
     Fifi nodded yes, and the four of them all climbed through. As Plucky made his way through, the jaw closed. The others kept walking.
     "Hello? Little help here?" Plucky asked.
     Babs chuckled, and Fifi walked over and pulled it off of him.
     The next room had a jail with several toons in it.
     "Fifi! Save them," Babs said.
     Fifi walked over and pulled the bone bars apart, and the prisoners ran off.
     On their way out, the prisoners all trampled Plucky, and his beak got kicked across the floor.
     Plucky, beakless, got up and picked it up. He placed it back on and they got going.
     "She must work out," Plucky commented. Buster nodded in agreement.
     Next to the jail was a staircase leading to the basement. Some guards were on the stairs, and once again, Fifi subdued them with her unique skunk abilities.
     They reached the bottom of the stairs and saw another jail. Inside of it was Kino, a member of Fifi's village they encountered before.
     "Fifi!" Kino yelled.
     "I will save you," Fifi said.
     Fifi ripped apart the bars and Kino ran out.
     "What happened to ze others?" Kino asked.
     "They all escaped before," Fifi replied.
     "What will you do here?" Kino asked.
     "I'll handle this one," Plucky said." We must put an end to the evil tyranny of the oppressing, menacing and rather unattractive lizards, for thy country is not free, thy children will be ruled by thy evil, scaly masters, thy..."
     And then Buster interrupted him, "Thy beak never seems to shut up. Come on everyone."
     "I will come with you," Kino said.
     "No. You go back, and if I die here, you become chief of ze village," Fifi said.
     "Wait! Can't I go back and rule your village?" Plucky asked.
     Everyone frowned at Plucky, and then Kino headed back.
     As Kino was leaving, he pulled open the closed dino skull from before, and this time, Plucky made sure not to get caught in it.
     They came into a room with a brown carpet in the middle that resembled a burlap sack, and two switches on either side. Also in this room, lizards were approaching them.     
     Plucky, trying to run away, fell and tripped one of the switches. A trap door opened and sent them falling into a dark void. Plucky walked over to the other switch and pressed it, but nothing happened.
     "I have an idea on how to work the switch," Babs said.
     Babs walked up behind Plucky, pushed him, and he fell into the switch, sending the closing lizards on the other side plummeting into the ground.
     "How'd you come up with that idea?" Buster asked.
     "These were designed for use by heavy lizards, so it would take a lot of force to use them. So, you push him into it, he falls, and it goes," Babs explained.
     There was a door located across from where the trap door opened, but they couldn't reach it now.
     "Great, now what do we do?" Plucky asked.
     "I have an idea," Buster said. "Plucky can fly, can't he? He could carry use across!"
     They all hung onto Plucky's thin, yellow legs and he barely got airborne.
     "I don't think .... this is ..... the best.... idea!" Plucky said, struggling to fly.
     After a few minutes, Plucky cleared the hole and everyone got off of his legs, but Plucky fell into the black hole.
     "Ahhhh!" He yelled as he plummeted downwards.
     A smack against a cement floor was heard.
     "Plucky, are you okay?" Babs asked.
     "I've fallen and I can't get up!" Plucky said.
     The three of them came down and rescued their fallen feathered friend. He was covered in bandages and was sent back to the end of time to recuperate.
     With Plucky temporarily out of commission, their chances were looking worse to defeat the lizard horde ( even though without Plucky, an argument could be made for their chances improving ) .
     They saw a huge metal doorway which Fifi pryed opened.
     They walked inside and through a few more cold, lifeless rooms until they heard a tremendously loud stomping.
     All three of them turned around and saw a giant, pale lizard.
			Chapter 18: Unnatural selection?
     "Well, well. Out for a little stroll, are we?" the enormous retile said.
     They all prepared to fight it. Buster came right up to it and shocked it.
     "Owie owie ow!" it said in a very nasal voice. "Stop it with the violence!"
     Buster looked puzzled.
     "I wasn't going to fight. I was just going to throw you into a black, bottomless pit, and now you, Mr. Blue haired insensitive man have to do this...."
     "Hey, Babs," Buster said quietly," I think this dino is afraid of us."
     "Either that or he's one of the geeky rejects from Jurassic Park!" Babs replied.
     Babs, looking like a psychiatrist now, came up to him and in her best Freud accent, said," what you are suffering from is hypertherminiatical polymonframicyzelic syndrome!"
     "What does that mean?" the lizard asked.
     "We must treat you very quickly. It is a condition where you are caused to wimp out at the first sign of trouble. To cure it, you must run away in fear," Babs said.
     "How will that cure it?" it asked.
     "Because, you will get the fear out of you. Now, run around the Lizard Liar, yelling and knocking down everything you can find," Babs said.
     "Thank you, doctor," it said, running off.
     Babs, out of her impression, said, "This is great. Now he's gonna knock this whole place down!"
     "That's great Babs, but what do we do if we're still in here when it crashes down?" Buster asked.
     Babs shrugged and said," I don't know, but we'd better get rid of the Lizard's Leader and get out of here fast!"
     They walked through a few more generic rooms and got rid of several more guards with Fifi's odor and finally, they reached the end of the lair.
     The lizard king was named Azayla. He was about seven feet tall, green and had blue gills coming out of the side of his head.
     "Who are these toons and what are they doing here?" he asked.
     "The name's Bunny. Babs Bunny," Babs said.
     Azayla got up from his throne made from what looked like a dinosaur's spine and yelled, "Guards!"
     "There aren't any guards around to hear you!" Babs said.
     "Fine. We'll finish this today. Will it be the lizards or you foolish and goofy toons running the world?" Azayla asked.
     "Us, of course," Buster said confidently.
     "You? You idiotic creations. You only do dumb things, say dumb things, act foolishly and make me sick! I hate toons!" Azayla cried out.
     A loud roar came from one room the back wall.
     "Hear that lovely voice? You'll soon become the best of friends," Azayla said.
     Azayla fled through a secret door in the back wall, and the three toons followed him.
     They reached a bridge and saw Azayla standing on top of a red triceratops.
     "Get 'em!" Ayazla yelled.
     The triceratops jumped and shook the entire bridge.
     Buster tried his bolts of lightning. Nothing. Babs tried water, but nothing happened. Even Fifi's stink did nothing.
     "Ha, ha, ha! You can't even scratch me!" Azayla said.
     Suddenly, something dawned on Buster.
     "I've got a plan," Buster said.
     "Do you know how sick I am of this repetitive script? Every few seconds somebody is saying, 'I have a plan'!" Babs said.
     "He hates toons and what they do, right? So, all we have to do is act as toony as possible!" Buster suggested.
     Babs pulled out a mallet and nailed Buster over the head with it. Buster dropped an anvil on her.
     "Ahh! Stop! What are you doing?!?" Azayla shouted.
     Buster pulled out some dynamite, and it exploded. the two were left only covered in soot, and they just dusted themselves off.
     "And now for the grand finale...." Babs began.
     Just then, the bridge they were on shook violently, but not because of the triceratops.
     "Looks like somebody is taking your medical advice," Buster said.
     Right after the words left Buster's mouth, they fell. The bridge collapsed brick by brick, leaving them plummeting to the ground.
     They landed in small, manhole cover like shapes, but just shook it off.
     That finished Azayla. Another toon stunt, and he couldn't take it. The lizard lair was in ruins now. Nothing remained. Azayla said one last thing.
     "Soon, a great fire shall distroy the land, and the burned out plain shall freeze, and a great ice age shall begin. And, you idiotic toons will wish you'd died with us lizards!" Azayla said.
     By this time, the lizard population was without leadership, without anywhere to live, and people and toons ruled the land. Ayazla knew that something comparable to the toons wiping out the dinosaurs would happen to them, but said nothing. That thing is Cencos.
     Just then, a huge fireball hurdled towards the Earth, visible through the sky and seen over all the high mountains.
     "We're all gonna die!" Babs exclaimed.
     Just before it hit, Kino showed up with the dactyls they flew in on, and saved them.
     "Cencos is coming, we've got to hurry!" Buster exclaimed. They all got on and flew out just in the nick of time.
     "In French, Cen mean censor and cos means big, ugly and boring," Fifi said.
     "Really?" Buster asked.
     "No, I just had to think of a way to explain the name," Fifi said.
     As they flew away, Buster pointed out, "Through no fault of Shirley Magus does Cencos exist. Cencos would've wiped her out like every other toon on Earth. Cencos fell from the sky, here, in ancient times.
     "Cencos is huge! How are we gonna fight her .... it... you know what I mean," Babs said.
     "I don't know. We'll find a way. Eventually," Buster said.
     "We should go to where Cencos fell," Fifi suggested.
     "Left unhurt, it will be able to get beneath the Earth, and just when toons have reached their strongest point and WB dominates, she'll strike," Babs said.
     There was still allot of this pre-historic wonderland left existing. Cencos hadn't distroyed anything yet.
     Buster swooped down on his dactyl and landed.
     "Buster, what are you doing?" Babs asked.
     "In the future, maybe somebody can make some money off of this," Buster said.
     He took a sign, and painted the words "Jurassic Park" on it.
     "What kind of an idiot would think he could make money off of that?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know. Maybe it could be a park full of dinosaurs, I don't know," Buster said.
     He climbed back on his dactyl and they continued their flight to find where Cencos landed.
     They looked down and saw a huge hole dug in the surface of the Earth.
     "Oh, no! She must already be under there!" Buster said.
     The three of them sped down to the surface and investigated. There was a gate like the ones used to change times, and entered.
     "Buster, Cencos just entered here and a gate was formed. When Shirley Magus has summoned Cencos, a huge gate formed. Do you think she's the cause of the gates?"
     "Seems like it," Buster said.
     They came out in a cave with rocks everywhere.
     "Where are we?" Babs asked.
     "Where is zis place?" Fifi asked.
     "I don't know. Let's go find out!" Buster said.
     They came out in a brutal snowstorm. The prediction of a dying Azayla had come true. The ice age was the time they entered.
			Chapter 19: The magic kingdom
     The toons all donned heavy winter clothing and headed out. It was a total white out, with snow covering just about everything.
     A few trees still lived, and a lot of mountains were around. They looked around for hours to find some sign of civilization to no avail.
     The walking in the snow was tiring them out.
     "Buster, I don't think I can walk in this anymore," Babs said.
     Buster reached off screen and pulled Byron Basset on.
     Within seconds, Byron was leading them around in a dog sled with only one dog.
     "Can we go skiing?" Babs asked.
     "Where are you going to get skis here?" Buster asked.
     Babs shrugged her shoulders, glanced forward and saw a cave.
     "Buster! Stop! There could be people in there!" Babs said.
     Buster pulled on the leash attaching Byron to the sled. The three of them got out and walked into the cave.
     They walked inside and saw gold lines walls with a large red symbol in the center of the room.
     "What is this place?" Babs asked.
     "Good thing Plucky isn't here. He'd try to take these walls home with him," Buster said.
     Babs wandered around in the room and accidentally stepped on the symbol in the middle of the room, and a red beam came down and pulled her up.
     Buster shrugged his shoulders and stepped on it as well, and Fifi followed.
     They all landed on a patch of land with no snow, green, flourishing trees and a town with a sign that said, "Enhasa."
     Babs walked around for a second, looked over the edge and said, "Buster, you'd better come look at this."
     Buster came over and peered over the side. This was an island suspended in mid air. Buster yelled in fear.
     "Do you think we're dead?" Babs asked, frightened.
     "No, we didn't float away with angel wings and a harp or anything, and I don't see any halo over your head. This is definetley not a cartoon death," Buster said.
     Confused, they all walked into the town. It was entirely indoors. They saw a few book shelves, a few plants, a ton of odd looking people, and many staircases.
     "Wow! Talk about a swanky lifestyle!" Babs commented.
     Buster walked over to a creature in the room and said, "We're kinda lost. Can you tell me where we are?"
     The funny looking creature, who was skipping around the room and had a bald, pale head with large beady eyes and no nose, said, "This is the eternal Kingdom of Lola, where dreams can come true! But, at what price?"
     The thing then disappeared very abruptly.
     Puzzled by what just happened, Buster, Babs and Fifi continued on.
     Buster noticed a large desk in the room with a friendly looking receptionist at it.
     "Hello? Can I help you?" she asked.
     This desk was blocking access to the rest of the room.
     "Can we get by to look around?" Buster asked.
     "Do you have a reservation?" she asked.
     "No," Buster replied.
     The friendly smile turned dreadful and she yelled in a very demonic tone, "THEN GET OUT!!!!!"
     Buster backed off for a moment, and tried again.
     "Can I help you?" she asked.
     "Can we be let into this place?" Buster asked.
     "Do you have a reservation?" she asked.
     "Yes, I do," Buster said.
     "What's your name, sir?" she asked.
     "I.... don't have one," Buster said.
     Babs pulled on his ear and away from the receptionist.
     "You idiot! I don't have one?" Babs asked scornfully/
     "Sorry, it was all I could come up with!" Buster said.
     The woman interrupted their argument.
     "Mr. I don't have one, we have a reservation listed for you. Come right in!" She said, "This is Enhasa, in the magical kingdom of Lola. We find truth in the bliss of sleep."
     "So you get to be rich and lazy?" Buster thought to himself," Plucky's gonna be mad when he finds out he missed this place!"
     In the main part of this beautiful structure, with wonderful tiles, golden railing and silver staircases, they overheard somebody mentioning, "A north palace which is sealed by a mysterious energy, and even we, the enlightened ones, cannot open it."
     Babs asked, "The enlightened ones? What do they mean by that?"
     Buster walked over to one of the bookcases and grabbed a book called, "The enlightened ones."
     "It says here," Buster read, "that people and toons have been banned from the palace of Lola, and only enlightened ones can enter. An enlightened one is defined as one possessing super human or super toon powers of a destructive nature."
     "So, we're enlightened ones?" Babs asked.
     "I guess so," Buster replied.
     The three of them began heading up one of the majestic silver stair cases, and a small girl ran into them.
     She had long, purple hair, a purple dress, and a small cat with her. She said nothing after bumping into them, and kept on walking.
     "What's her problem?" Babs asked.
     "Like, the black wind totally howls," the little girl said while walking away.
     "One among you will like totally perish and some junk," she said.
     "Listen you little brat!" Babs yelled at her.
     The kid ran away.
     "Is it just me," Babs said, "or was that demonic valley girl speech oddly familiar?"
     They continued on. They entered a room with a man in bed and a couple of other people.
     "Isn't it great," one man was saying to another, "How Queen Lola rules this kingdom from the north palace, and we can just sleep our days away?"
     The other man replied, "Yes.. but I wonder what's in that north palace. I bet there's a key to it in another palace, but entrance is strictly forbidden."
     A walk around this whole area showed Buster, Babs and Fifi a person going on and on about a blackbird ship of some kind, a person wondering if he was a bowling ball dreaming of salami, and somebody else wanting herbal tea.
     "This place is really freaking me out," Babs said.
     "There are other towns above here. Ask somebody how to reach them," Buster suggested.
     Babs asked, and they were lead to a transport device like the one used to get up here in the first place.
     When they were in the transport room, the person who showed them it said, "See that green button over there?"
     "Yeah," Babs said," let me guess. I push that one!"
     Babs walked over and hit it.
     "No! That's the one leading back to the surface!" the person exclaimed.
     They landed back on the snowy ground, but in a different area than before.
     The transporter areas were called skyways. Another short walk around revealed another skyway that the three of them traveled in.
     Like before, they were transported up by a beam of light. This time, they were on a continent above the last one. It had a waterfall draining onto the surface and several indoor cities and caves.
     The first city they entered was call Kajar. It was a lot different than the last one they were in. It had gargoyle statues and the walls were white and the ground was covered in wood and green carpet.
     The man at the door said, "Welcome to the magical city of Kajar, where we do experiments for Queen Lola."
     An older person was standing, reading a book and saying nothing.
     Babs crept up behind him and yelled, "Hey, buddy!"
     The man jumped, went through the ceiling, and came back down.
     "What is it?" he asked, angrily.
     "What're you reading about?" she asked.
     "I'm reading on how you can combine the Rainbow shell and the sun stone to create incredible weapons and items, but only the guru of life has the skill and elemental power use is forbidden," he said.
     "Boring!" Babs said.
     "Wait, Babs," Buster said. "If we could use this power, maybe we could stop Cencos."
     Babs looked out the window of this place and asked, "What's that on the southern continent?"
     A person came up behind her and answered with, "That's the sunkeep. A sun tone, once the source of the world's power, was kept there. But, when we began using our new energy source, we just sealed it like the northern palace. They say we don't need the energy from the tired, old planet."
     They walked around and heard somebody ask them, "Do you know Stephanie? We've been seeing a lot of her lately. Her only friend is that cat of hers. I wonder what tempest rages in her."
     "That sounds like that purple haired girl we saw before," Babs said.
     "Hey, does Stephanie talk by saying like all the time?" Buster asked.
     "Yeah," the person replied, "and she always mentions junk for some reason."     
     "I think we saw her," Buster said.
     "She's one of the heirs to Queen Lola. The other is Schala. Like her mother, Schala came out a stunning rabbit with extreme power, but Stephanie somehow ended up a loon and has an evil quality to her."
     In another room, a discussion of inventions was being held.
     "The ocean palace is behind schedule," one person said, "but when it's done, it will be truly magnificent. Imagine, a palace underneath the waves!"
     "They're even letting the earthbound ones, the humans and toons, work on it. I guess they do have a use after all," another one chimed in.
     Babs was itching to get at them for that comment, but restrained herself.
     People in here discussed the blackbird airship and how wonderful its flight was, and how the great inventor Belthsar built it.
     "All these inventions," Buster thought, looking around the technology filled room, "and Calamity is nowhere to be seen."
     After learning all they could, Buster, Babs and Fifi headed over to the next indoor city. This was Lola palace itself. It was five times the size of all the other cities.
     "Wow, think of the rent on this place!" Babs exclaimed.
     They entered without anybody trying to stop them. It had a different atmosphere than the rest of the places.
     "Welcome to Lola palace, the center of Lola kingdom, making this the center of the universe," a man said when they walked in.
     "Whoa, these people don't have too high an opinion of themselves, do they?" Babs asked sarcastically.
     They walked around, and while they explored, a large blue fat thing came up to them and asked, "Could you scratch my back for me?"
     Buster got a frightened look on his face and drew his sword.
     "Buster!" Babs said. "Don't use that to scratch his back!"
     "Then you do it," Buster said.
     "No, it asked you!" Babs said.
     Fifi sighed, walked up and scratched it.
     "Thanks, I'll repay you later," it said.
     They continued wandering around.
     Somebody said to them, "Lola's aide, Montana, was in charge of the Ocean Palace until some traveling prophet took over, and Montana is not too happy about it. I'd stay away from him."
     "Don't worry," Buster said," I wouldn't go near Monty anyway!"
     Another person in this great structure with golden carpet and stone stairs and walls, said to them, "Bugs, the guru of time, has been working on some deserted island. He's making something called a Chrono Toon, or time egg or something. But, nobody has seen him in ages."
     Buster decided they all could use some rest. The three of them headed for what looked like a sleeping area, but instead discovered the royal bedrooms.
     They walked in with Stephanie yelling to her sister, "Schala!"
     "You're back, Stephanie. Is something wrong?" Schala asked.
     "Like, this bad wind stuff. It's totally messing with my karma," Stephanie said.
     "You feel it, too? Don't worry, it'll be all right," Schala sai. "Now hold onto this."
     "Like, what is it?" Stephanie asked.
     "It's a kind of amulet. If something happens, it'll protect you," Schala replied," I wish I could stay with you always, but mother had other plans."
     "You mean like Lola? She is totally like not our mother and some junk. She totally looks like her, but her aura is way off," Stephanie said.
     Just then, somebody came into the room and said, "Schala, The Queen asks for your presence at the ocean palace immediately."
     Schala left, and Stephanie said nothing. Buster, Babs and Fifi quietly followed them. They walked down a long, narrow hallway to a black door with a crest engraved on it.
     Schala held up a pendant to open it. Babs walked up to the door and held up her pendant, but it didn't open.
     "Great, now how do we get in?" Babs asked.
     "I'm sure if we look around we'll find something," Buster replied.
     They walked around and came to a door adjacent to the one with the sealed door. It had the words, "Mammon Machine" printed on it.
     They opened it and saw somebody pacing around in the hallway.
     "What's wrong?" Babs asked her.
     "That traveling prophet. His aura is so full of hatred and sorrow. He'll destroy himself and those he loves," the woman said.
     The three of them continued walking down the long, narrow hallway with a blue carpet and several brass statues.
     "Well, this is an upbeat place," Babs commented.
     They reached the end of the hallway and heard a woman say, "Oh, more people have come to see the Mammon Machine. Feel Cencos' power as she comes to cleanse this world of all evil. I feel faint, and yet excited!" the person said.
     "Some people are apparently very easily entertained," Babs commented.
     "This person's dillusional," Buster commented quietly.
     "Well, if this machine has something to do with Cencos, we'd better investigate it," Babs said.
     They crossed through the next door, and inside was a huge machine.
     It was gold, with green gems placed all over it and some red ones. It was hovering over a metallic circle and a huge light beam stayed around it.
     "Is that the machine?" Babs asked.
     "Of course," a man in the room said. "If the Mammon Machine here can be moved to the ocean palace, we can get all the energy we need from Cencos! The dream on eternal youth and life is now possible, and Queen Lola will reign forever! "
     Several other people were in the room as well.
     "Dizzy, who opposed Lola's plans has vanished. You're not thinking what I am are you?" one person said.
     "Well, I heard anyone who opposes Lola, not just the Earthbound ones, vanishes," another said.
     Buster asked somebody in the room, "How does this thing work, anyway?"
     "The three gurus made the machine from the red rock of the royal family. Dizzy, who studied much about Cencos, was in charge of the plans, but disappeared..." the person replied.
     Babs began to walk towards it, as if it were hypnotizing her. She tripped and the pendant fell in the machine.
     "My pendant!" she cried.
     The pendant was not distroyed, but it began to glow luminously. She quickly reached in and pulled it out. It was still glowing.
     "Babs, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Buster asked.
     Babs nodded her reply yes, and the three of them ran towards the sealed door.
     Babs held up the pendant to the door, but nothing happened
     "Maybe you need a password," Buster said.
     "Open sesame," Babs tried. Nothing.
     Babs walked up and kicked the door, and then threw her pendant at it.
     "Great, how do we open this stupid thing?" Babs asked.
     "Try the door bell," Buster said pointing to a small button next to it.
     She walked up and pressed it. The words, "Mon - ey " were heard as it rang.
     A small sign next to the bell said, "Installed for Montana Dalton."
     A small device popped out of the wall and scanned the pendant. The door then opened.
     The three of them went through the previously sealed door, and saw Schala, a man in a black cloak and wearing a large, black hat, a short guy in an Armani suit with a sword and over - gelled hair, and a tall female rabbit with a frilly dress and a blue piece of head gear with spike - like points coming out of it. It was Queen Lola.
     "Who are you? How did you get in here?" Lola asked.
     The man in the black cloak, who identified himself as a prophet, said, "Your majesty, these are the evil doers I warned you of!"
     "How dare you oppose me!" Lola screamed. "You foreigners are worse than the gurus!"
     "I'll take care of them your rich and extravagant highness," the short kid in the corner said.
     "Who are you?" Buster asked.
     "I"m Montana Dalton, you're worst nightmare," he said.
     "I wouldn't argue that," Buster said.
     "Hey, shut up!" Montana said.
     "What are you going to do?" Buster asked.
     "I"ll show you...." Monty began.
     Without warning, everyone in the room disappeared and a large, golden face appeared with four foot long fangs, two arms and tentacles coming out of it. It floated in the air.
     "It's ugly," Buster said, "but it still looks better than Monty!"
     Fifi said, "Suck stench swine!"
     She fired her awful aroma into the creatures nose, and it perished almost immediately.
     All of the people in the room before reappeared.
     "No! You killed my golem! That thing cost me $12, 000! I blew my whole allowance on it!" Monty yelled. "You'll pay for this; nobody makes a fool of Monty Dalton!"
     "Except for himself," Buster said.
     "Yeah, except for himself... hey, wait a second!" Monty said.
     "Enough!" The queen yelled.
     A blue beam came from her hands and suddenly, Buster, Babs and Fifi couldn't move.
     "Don't worry. You won't die .... immediately that is!" Queen Lola said in a devious tone. "By the time we're through with you, you'll beg us to end you're suffering!"
     The three of them were knocked out cold. They awoke above a metallic circle like the one on the Mammon Machine. Actually, it was the same one. The Mammon Machine was gone.
     Inside, they were being forced to watch PBS.
     "I can't take any more of this!" Babs screamed in horror.
     "I know. We've only seen five minutes and already I wish it were over!" Buster said.
     Suddenly, Stephanie and Schala walked in the room.
     "Like, these people are total losers. What're you like, gonna totally do, Schala?" Stephanie asked.
     "Let's rescue them," Schala suggested.
     Buster, Babs and Fifi couldn't move. They were trapped and being slowly destroyed from the inside by Cencos, armed with quality television.
     "Like, that is totally bad karma. If they escape, you'll totally be in trouble and some junk," Stephanie argued.
     "Don't worry about me.  They just might be able to save the gurus," Schala said.
     She walked up to the machine and flipped a switch. The images turned off and the three toons fell to the ground with a large crash.
     "It was horrible!" Babs exclaimed.
     "Are you all right?" Schala asked.
     "I think we're comedically scarred for life," Buster said.
     "Listen, you've gotta escape from the palace right now! And if you can, save Dizzy, that whirling purple garbage disposal," Schala said.
     "Why? What happen to ol' Diz?" Buster asked.
     "He was sent to the mountain of woe for opposing Lola," Schala said.
     Just then, the door flung open and somebody said, "No, I can't allow that." It was the prophet from before.
     "Your meddling tires me. You'll... just have to disappear!!" the Prophet said.
     "You mustn't!" Schala said.
     "Like, totally stop!" Stephanie said.
     "All right, I'll spare them, but in return, Schala, you will cooperate!" the prophet said.
     "How'd you get here?" the prophet asked.
     "I'll show you," Buster said.
     The three of them led him to the gate where they came through.
     "So you came in through here," he said.
     "Schala," the prophet said, "after I throw them in, seal the portal shut."
     "No!" Schala said," you can't make me!"
     "Obey me," the prophet replied, "their lives are at stake."
     "I.. oh all right," Schala said.
     Buster, Babs and Fifi were sent through the portal, and Schala sealed the gate shut.
     "Please forgive me," she said.
     The three of them took a familiar trip through the gate, and came out back in the pre-historic era. The time of the ice age they just emerged from was 12,000 B.C.
     "Something smells fishy," Babs said.
     "Why? Fifi hasn't attacked anybody in a while,"  Buster said.
     "No, not that. They took energy from Cencos, but she didn't get weak," Babs said.
     "On a completely different subject," Buster said, "remember the crest on the door we opened with the pendant? We've seen allot of those before. On doors in just about every era, and on boxes, too"
     "You're right," Babs said, thinking back to times when they encountered doors with small signs on them reading, "Sealed by a mystical energy."
     "It iz time to depart," Fifi said.
     The image of the same sealed door came to Buster and Babs' mind. It was one where they had found Hamton in 2300 A.D.
     "Where do we go from here?" Babs asked.
     "Hey, kids," a voice yelled. "Why do you think I keep putting these images in your mind? Go to that door in 2300!" It was the same voice as the man at the end of time.
			Chapter 20: Break the Seal!
     Right by the gate they just traveled through, which was located where the old lizard lair was, the dactyls they flew in and awaited them. They took them and flew to the gate leading back to the end of time. From there they could reach 2300.
     They arrived at the end of time and ran over to the old man.
     "So you went to the land of magic," the old man started. "Now that the pillar of light is sealed, you need a new way to get through time. Somebody was working on a device like that. He called it the wings of time. Sorry to say he went a tad psychotic spending so much time doing research. He could be behind that door in 2300."
     "Buster," Babs said, "while we're here, we should take Fifi in to see Gogo. Maybe she could get some of these powers."
     "What about Plucky? He wasn't here when we first got them," Buster pointed out.
     "Do we really want to give Plucky power like this? It could be really dangerous in his hands," Babs said.
     "Good point," Buster said.
     The three of them walked into the door where Gogo was.
     "It's about time I got another cameo!" Gogo said.
     "Can you give Fifi magic, too?" Babs asked.
     "Sorry, but she existed before magic did. Not to call you old or anything," Gogo said.
     "Oh, so you can't give her any power?" Buster asked.
     "No, sorry. Looking for any fight practice?" Gogo asked.
     "No thanks," Buster replied.
     "Any time, friends. Remember, I'm the master of war!" Gogo told them as they were leaving the room.
     The three of them re-entered the room with the magnificent blue pillars of light that brought them to various eras in toon history as well as toon future.
     Buster, Babs and Fifi all entered the pillar with the small sign labeled "2300" next to it. They noticed more pillars leading to more times that they had visited (12,000 B.C. for example) has appeared.
     The three of them jumped in and entered the familiar portal.
     "Wheneth are thou art going to taketh me?!?" Plucky yelled to them as they left.
     The three landed in the same murky, dreary, dark and highly unpleasant surroundings of the very bleak future they had encountered before.
     "So where's this door the old guy was talking about?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know. Maybe that roadrunner we raced before would know," Buster said.
     "You mean Beeper? I don't think he'd be too happy to help after what we pulled in the race," Babs said.
     "We have to try anyway," Buster said.
     The three of them left to where Little Beeper usually hung out. They arrived and saw the red and orange roadrunner, with his pitch dark sunglasses and leather jacket standing there conversing with one of his robo pals.
     "Hey, Beeper!" Babs yelled from a few feet away.
     "The cheaters have returned," the robot said.
     Beeper turned to them, flashing a non-discript facial expression at them.
     The area was rocky and desolate like most of this bleak future, but it had one large stretch of highway Beeper used as his personal race course.
     "Look Beeper. Do you know anything about a sealed door?" Babs asked.
     Beeper just nodded his head no.
     Buster pulled out a handful of money.
     "Now do you know anything about a sealed door?" Buster asked. It was still the Gogo money from before.
     Beeper leaned his head towards Babs' pocket.
     "What's he want?" Babs asked.
     "I think it's that mirror your carrying," Buster said.
     Babs looked at. Something she never noticed before was wrong with it. It has a long crack along it resembling a lightning strike (remember the prologue).
     "What happened to this?" Babs asked.
     "I have no idea," Buster said, lying.
     "Well, if he wants it, he can have it," Babs said. "What would I want with a broken mirror anyway?"
     Buster thought to himself, "It may be important in sending me back to Acme Acres when ( or rather, if ) we can beat Cencos."
     Buster took the mirror and gave it to Beeper.
     "Beep beep," Beeper said.
     "It means follow me," the robot said.
     The followed Beeper across the cold, lightless and windy ruins of the future to an unnamed dome.
     "Thanks for your help," Babs said as they reached the door.
     Beeper just walked away, admiring himself in the cracked mirror.
     They walked inside and saw a metal door with small blue bits of light scattered on it.
     "This must be the door. Get the pendant," Babs instructed.
     Buster pulled it out and threw it at the door. The door shimmered with a brilliant light. Buster and Babs donned sunglasses to deal with the intense light.
     Eventually, the door crumbled to the ground and the three of them walked inside.
     They came inside and saw a large box sitting in the corner. Babs walked up and opened it.
     "What is it?" Buster asked.
     "Martha Stewart's recipe for minute rice," Babs replied.
     "Great, we travel over the cold, harsh ruins and find the most useless possible thing," Buster said frustrated.
     The walked back outside and saw another dome close by.
     Inside, there were people all huddled around one of the sealed doors.
     "Clear!" one person yelled.
     They all stood back as a huge dynamite blast rocked the dome, but did nothing to the door.
     "You have no food, but yet you have dynamite?" Babs asked puzzled.
     "Of course we do. What good animated creation can't have dynamite whenever they need it?" one person in the dome replied.
     "You mean you guys are toons?" Buster asked.
     "Some of us. But, with all these years of not putting that fact to good use has made most of us just blend in with people," one replied.
     "Well, of you can do that, than maybe you could create some sort of food," Buster said.
     "What about pies? Cartoon characters always hit each other with pies," Buster suggested.
     They tried it, and it actually worked. They could create pies out of nowhere. No more relying on the machines for subsistence.
     This had also brought fourth a new, startling fact. Toons over time, without putting what makes them different from people to use, lose it and become just like people.
     Buster walked up to the door, threw the pendant at it, and the same shimmering as before illuminated the entire dome. It opened.
     Inside was a ladder to the sewer. Babs walked over and looked in the hole.
     "Hmm. They couldn't have just made this trip easy on us could they? We would have to climb all the way through the sewer," Babs said, annoyed.
     "Stop whining and climb in," Buster said.
     They all headed down and saw two frogs in the corner.
     "Hey, somebody's coming. Let's go!" one said.
     "Talking frogs?" Fifi asked.
     "Maybe it's all those chemicals that get dumped in the river," Babs said.
     "That's great. Plucky can dress up as the Toxic Revenger later and do something about it. Right now, just get down here," Buster said.
     The sewer did have a few lights feeding into it. Also, there were some locked doors and small metal grates used as bridges.
     They ventured down until they reached one of the locked doors.
     "What do we do here?" Babs asked.
     They attempted to knock it down, but to no avail.
     Buster tried knocking.
     "What are you doing?" Babs asked.
     "Maybe those frogs will answer," Buster suggested.
     After a while, nobody replied. Just then, they saw the two sentient frogs they had encountered moments ago heading this way.
     "Quick, hide," Buster said.
     They all gripped to the metal grate bridges and hung from the bottom. The problem with this was they all hung right below each other, so Fifi was holding Babs' legs and Babs was holding Buster's.
     "I do not want to fall in ze water!" Fifi said as she hung mere inches from it.
     Buster glanced up and saw the frog open the door. Buster darted up to get inside before it locked again and Babs and Fifi fell in the green, possibly toxic liquid.
     "Buster!" Babs yelled.
     Buster dashed over and wedged his sword in the door, and then came back and pulled Babs and Fifi out.
     Babs and Fifi, not being overly amused about being dumped in toxic water, figured turnabout was fair play and heaved Buster into the water.
     The three soaking and foul smelling heroes went through the previously locked door that the sword has successfully held open.
     They saw a large snail talking with a fly.
     "They'll be here in a moment. Three really ugly suckers, boss," the grotesque fly said.
     "Imagine the audacity! Walking through the sewer like they own the place! We'll show them!" the snail said.
     Immediately, it turned around and saw Buster, Babs and Fifi standing there. Nearby was one of the frogs.
     "I'll teach you to roam around in my sewers!" The snail yelled.
     Buster grabbed one of the frogs and held the sword to his neck.
     "One false move and froggy boy is history!" Buster threatened.
     The frog began to sing, "Hello my baby, hello my honey..."
     Buster immediately threw it into the putrid water and pointed his sword at the snail.
     "Go ahead, do your worst!" the snail said.
     "Parents may want to get their kids away from the T.V. for this one," Babs said.
     Buster attempted to slice the snail, but it just went through.
     "Ha! You clean surface dwellers can never match up to the power of dirt and grime!" The snail yelled.
     Babs pulled out a stick of deodorant and said, "Let us through or you'll smell so much like alpine breeze you'll think you've actually showered once in your life!"
     "NO!!!!" the snail yelled, fleeing for cover.
     "Babs, why do you carry around a stick of deodorant?" Buster asked.
     "Think about how much time we spend with a skunk," Babs replied.
     They reached the exit to the sewers now. Next to their exit was another titleless dome.
     The three of them walked inside and saw a strange, blue creature standing in front of a machine. It was asleep.
     Babs walked right up to it and nudged it on the shoulder. Nothing.
     "HELLO!!!!" Babs yelled in its ear.
     "Please, do not disturb my slumber," the thing said very calmly.
     Beyond the blue creature was another one of the sealed doors, which the pendant made quick work of.
     Behind the door lay an empty room. As soon as the three walked in, they saw some shimmering blue spots on the floor that were quite large.
     One began to speak. "To those who opened the door... I am Belthasar, the Guru of reason. I once lived in the kingdom of Lola.  A great disaster, probably one of Lola's bad hair days, threw me into this era. To my suprise, Cencos exists here, and, I suspect in other periods as well. Eons ago, Cencos descended from the heavens. Burrowing deep into the world's core, she began to plot against entertainment in all forms. She thought it would be easy, until the ex factor was discovered. That being animation. By wiping out things people used to find entertaining, like reading for example, she grew stronger and stronger. But, since she could not destroy animation, she could not gain the control she wanted over everyone's minds, so she changed from her original plan and decided to do it by any means necessary," the blue light flash said, followed by it disappearing.
     They walked over to the next one. Cencos disappeared briefly when she was summoned by the great wizard and psychic who lived in Acmia in the year 600. In 1999, Cencos finally destroys animation and nearly wipes all toons off the face of the Earth. She reigns high atop death peak in this area. She continues to replicate and grow like a giant parasite, she consumes all entertainment, leaving our world boring and hopeless," the blue dot said, followed by it, too disappearing.
     The next one said, "I'm growing old here, and before I pass on, I want to safeguard my data with you regarding my ultimate creation," and then it disappeared.
     The next one told them that only by mastering time and the essence of being a toon could they defeat Cencos.
     The final one, which lay by another sealed door, told them that the odds would be against them, but that they are true heroes and the world was in there hands.
     "Good thing Plucky isn't here to heat that," Buster said." It would inflate his already swelling ego."
     The spot continued, saying, "Go into that last door and take my final creation. The wings of time." It then faded.
     They walked over and in familiar fashion, the door opened.
     Inside, they saw a vehicle with a price tag on it and a salesman in a horrid orange sport coat next to it.
     "This is Time Machine Bob's bargain days," he said.
     "Didn't you die eating a bucket of live scorpions in 1991?" Buster asked. "And weren't you selling bikes back then?"
     Bob ran off, and Buster ripped off the price tag.
     "This moves through time?" Buster asked.
     It was white with a sleek design and a bubble dome cockpit with three seats. It also had a golden antenna coming out of it.
     Somebody walked in and handed them the keys. It was the sleeping creature from before.
     "Scared you didn't I?" the creature said. "It's me, Belthasar. I copied my memories into this thing. Here's the manual to the ship."
     It handed Buster a manual that was a few thousand pages long that weighed Buster down so much it flattened him.
     Buster barely managed to pull it off him and asked, "Can't you just explain the gist of it to me?"
     "Very well," Belthesar said, "you punch in the time and hit go."
     "Why did we need that huge manual then?" Babs asked.
     "To up the price tag, or course," Belthasar said. "Make it seem more complicated than it is."
     "What do you call it?" Buster asked.
     "You name it. Wings of time sounds too long," Belthesar said.
     "How about Babs Bunny 1?" Babs asked.
     Buster nodded no with a large frown on his face.
     "I called it Epoch originally," Belthesar said.
     "Fine, we'll go with that," Buster said.
     They got in. Babs ended up in the driver's seat. She hit the take-off button.
     Babs punched in the time 1000 A.D. and they were off.
     It was like a roller coaster. It was incredibly fast.
     "This is great!" Babs yelled as they jolted through time at a leisurely 300 mph.
     Buster and Fifi were nearly being crushed by the pressure. They eventually landed in 1000 A.D. and quickly discovered it could only jump time and not be driven like a car around to anywhere
     They landed just inches from crashing into the side of a mountain.
     "Smooth landing, Babs," Buster commented.
     "Hey, at least we didn't crash," Babs replied.
     They looked around. Nothing had changed.
     "You would figure with all the paradoxes we must've created SOMETHING would've changed," Babs said, sounding somewhat disappointed.
     The three of them, feeling like they needed a rest, headed for the closest town to them.
     This time period was by far the most pleasant of any of them. It always seemed to be bright and pretty upbeat in 1000 A.D.
     The three of them sat down in a restaurant to get something to eat, and overheard the townspeople talking.
     "Have you heard about that mayor?" one person began.
     "Yeah, he's the greediest guy I've ever met! How'd we end up electing him anyway?" the other person said.
     Babs turned to Buster and said, "Maybe we should go an set this guy straight."
     "Why?" Buster asked. "This has absolutely nothing to do with us."
"Has that ever stopped us before?" Babs asked.
     Buster nodded his head no and the three of them left and ventured into the mayor's house.
     The inside was just a regular home, but the conversation was anything but pleasant.
     "Ha ha!" one person yelled from the next room. "I have so much money I don't know what to do with it all!!"
     Buster walked over to him.
     "Hey, dumb looking poor kid. I'll give you $10 to act like a chicken," he said.
     "Hmm," Buster wondered.
     Babs came over and stepped in front of Buster.
     "Babs, we should bring Plucky here," Buster said.
     "Why?" asked Babs.
     "Plucky would do anything for money. It could be good for a laugh," Buster explained.
     The three began to walk out, and heard the kids discussing how much they hated their dad, the mayor, and how in love he was with money.
     Babs got a small tear in her eye and said," Buster, we have to do something about this... sniff...."
     "All right Babs. I promise we'll do something about this guy. But, later okay?" Buster said.
     They headed back to the Epoch and sat down for a moment.
     "Buster?" Babs said. 
     "Yeah?" Buster asked, half asleep in the passenger seat of their wings of time.
     "With this thing, maybe we could get back to queen Lola's palace and still stop Cencos," she said.
     "We'll go after I get some sleep," Buster said.
     "Like how much?" Babs asked.
     "Six, seven..... sixteen hours...." Buster said, dozing off.
     "We can't wait that long!" Babs protested.
     Buster was asleep now, his snoring filling the Epoch.
     It was about three o' clock in the morning. Babs flipped the on switch inside the Epoch.
     She punched in 12000 B.C. and it began to thrust forward.
     The incredibly fast movement of the Epoch woke Buster up screaming, his heart beating out to six feet in front of his chest.
     "Ahhh!!!! What are you doing?!?" Buster asked, scared out of his mind.
     "We can't waste anymore time!" Babs said.
     Buster couldn't fall asleep again after a scare like that, so he just patiently waited as he watched time go backwards right next to him on their way to 12000. The Dark Ages.
     The Epoch landed in the middle of a blizzard ( what else was new? It's an ice age ) by a couple of mountains in 12000.
     "Great, we missed the palace. Now we're stuck down here!" Babs complained.
     "Babs, remember how we originally got to Lola's castle? We took the skyway, not a gate. We can still get up there!" Buster said.
     The three started to run, but realized it was hard to run in five feet of snow and got their faces planted in it.
     "Where's Byron when you need him?" Babs asked.
     Suddenly, the sound of a dog could be heard and the basset that guided them through the treacherous snow previously came to their aid.
     They rode him back to the skyway, and he once again left.
     "We had to be nice. He doesn't get many cameos," Buster said.
     In the skyway, they stepped on the red surface that transported them before. Nothing happened.
     "Let's head to the end of time," Buster suggested.
     "Why?" Babs asked.
     "Because, a certain number of appearances is in that guy's contract," Buster said.
     They made their way back to the Epoch and went to the end of time once again.
     "Hey, what's up, Doc?" the old man said as they arrived.
     "Old guy, he finished the wings of time!" Buster exclaimed, out of breath from running over.
     "Well, Doc, put it to good use. Take it to the land of ancient magic," the old man said.
     "Do I know you from somewhere?" Buster asked the old man. He was offered no reply.
     The three of them boarded the Epoch and set course once again for the dark ages. They ended up landing right next to a cave they never noticed before.
     "How come we keep missing all these locations the first time, and then seeing them on the second trip?" Babs asked.
     "Because the writer keeps forgetting to include stuff," Buster replied.
     "Who's this writer you keep talking about? I've gone along with these strange jokes because I thought they were funny, but they don't make sense to me. A script. A writer. What does any of that have to do with us?" Babs asked.
     That may have been the moment it really sank it. Weeks later and about eighty pages, Buster finally felt there was no Tiny Toons. But why had Babs gone along with all this stuff before, mentioning scripts and cameos herself? A part of the old Babs must've still been there.
     Inside this cave was a series of vines and ladders with people pacing around inside.
     "Welcome to Algetty, the realms of the earthbound ones," the man at the entrance said.
     People around the town were saying how there people were taken to the ocean palace but never seen again.
     Another person said that Miss Stephanie had even greater power than Schala. Hard the believe with the considerable age difference. They also said that Stephanie must be using Schala and the queen to get to Cencos.
     There was a back exit to this cave, but it didn't lead outside. A small sign next to this exit said, "To beast's nest. Enter at own risk."
     Buster and company began to walk outside when a man in a suit came up to them and said," I represent the earthbound ones as their attorney. Please sign this waver giving them no legal responsibility for you entering the nest."
     Buster pulled out a pen and attempted to write, but the pen appeared to be bone dry.
     Buster shook the pen, with the tip pointing in the direction of the lawyer. Ink sprayed out all over the lawyer.
     "Ooops. Sorry," Buster said.
     The lawyer just frowned and said nothing. Buster, Babs and Fifi proceeded into the nest.
     In the next room, two rather sizable lizards approached.
     A short Japanese man ran out and yelled, "Ah! Godzilla! Godzilla is attacking the village!!!" His mouth moved for a couple of seconds after the words came out, like an old moster movie.
     "So this is when they made all those bad movies," Buster commented.
     The three of them quickly subdued the beast and continued on.
     Beyond the simple creature was a chain that lead diagonally upwards for a very long distance.
     "Better start climbing," Babs said.
     Buster got on first. None of them had the balance necessary to stand for the climb, so they slid with their legs on either side.
     The sound of Buster repeatedly saying, "Ow " the whole climb was the most revalent thing heard.
     Their climb up led to a large floating rock attached to the chain.
     "Do you think this is the mountain of woe the Guru was banished to?" Babs asked.
     Buster looked at it. People were being forced to listen to Barney tapes and watch PBS. The sounds of people moaning in pain could be heard. This was clearly the mountain of woe, inspired by Cencos and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
     A small computer-controlled radio greeted them as they entered.
     "Welcome to the mountain of woe," it said in a bright, cheerful voice. "Please have a horrible and soul-crushing stay!" And then it left.
     They looked at their new surroundings. The winds and snow were not as strong as before, but they were still a force to be reckoned with up here.
     "Guru! Guru!" They yelled as they walked up. No reply.
     More chains could be seen and they had to make an even tougher climb than before. It was not something they looked forward to, but they had to in order to get to Lola and stop Cencos before she even began.
			Chapter 21: The guru on Mt. Woe
     Buster, Babs and Fifi all gripped their arms together tightly and fought against the wind the entire climb.
     On the way up, they were attacked a few times by a few vicious birds and things. One in particular was agressive.
     It hovered around Buster's head as he proceeded up a chain.
     "Get away you dumb bird!" Buster said, swatting at it.
     It got a stone cold glare in its eyes and it pecked him.
     "Ow!! Get off!!!" Buster said. His hand slipped and he was now hanging upside down from the mountain of woe 20,000 feet in the air.
     Buster raised his hand and fired lightning. Once again, his power had matured without his knowledge and it was a huge yellow dome that formed around the bird. It zapped it and the corpse flew thousands of feet to the ground.
     "Whoa! Buster! How'd you do that?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know. I guess that power must've gotten better again," Buster said.
     They continued upwards and found some more solid ground. About five minutes after the attack, they heard a splat on the ground.
     "Eeew!" they all said at once, knowing exactly what it was.
     The trip took a long time. Finally, once last mountain was reached. They climbed up the chain and it got darker.
     "Hmm," Babs thought for a moment.
     She climbed a few inches down. It got lighter, so she climbed back up and it got darker.
     "Cool," Babs remarked.
     "Stop messing with the sun and let's get doing!" Buster said.
     Up the final chain they saw a large block of ice.
     "This must be where ze guru is imprisoned," Fifi said.
     The clock began to glow, then disappear.
     "Buster! Look!" Babs said.
     A huge gargoyle looking creature broke through the ground and stared down at them.
     "What is that?" Buster asked.
     The creature picked up what looked like a building and crushed it in the palm of his hand.
     "Did you see that? It just crushed an office building in it's hand!" Babs said.
     "Wait a minute," Buster said, "since when do they have offices in the dark ages?"
     Buster walked up to the wreckage and examined it.
     "This building is paper!" Buster said.
     They took a closer look at the thing and saw strings coming out of all it's limbs.
     A faint voice was heard yelling, "Go, Gargantua, go!"
     Buster looked at this being and saw it was plastic. He melted it with the lightning bolts.
     The wreckage of the creature fell back into the hole it made, as did the man who held it on the string. The ice block re-appeared, and then disappeared again.
     Inside was Dizzy.
     "Dizzy Devil?" Babs asked.
     "Me escape! This place horrible, but Dizzy party now!" Dizzy said.
     "How are you Dizzy?" Buster asked.
     "Me Dizzy, but me never met you before," Dizzy said.
     "I guess not. Not yet, anyway," Buster said.
     "You tell me about Ocean Palace!" Dizzy demanded.
     Buster explained the plan about tapping the power of Cencos.
     "Cencos evil! Queen Evil! Dizzy make Queen pay!!!" Dizzy said, about to spin into his havoc-wreaking tornado.
     "What do you know about the Mammon Machine?" Babs asked.
     "Mammon Machine make Queen crazy with power!" Dizzy said." Spirit stolen by Cencos."
     Just then, a loud rumbling was heard and the mountain began to shake.
     "The mountain's collapsing!" Babs shrieked.
     The four of them fled. Back in the earthbound town below, somebody yelled, "Elder! The mountain of woe is collapsing!!"
     They all looked above and saw the mountain of woe break off from the chain and then crash into the icy cold ocean.
     Back in the village of the earthbound, the four from the mountain had arrived safely.
     They explained to the earthbound elder that Cencos sleeps underground taking the life out of the planet.
     "Dizzy leave something out," Dizzy said. "If Mammon Machine brought close to Cencos, she might wake up. We must hurry before too late!"
     Just then, a man ran in and said, "Elder! Schala is here!"
     "What? Schala's here?" Buster asked.
     "Miss Schala, why have you come to such a miserable place?" the elder asked.
     "Stop degrading yourself! We enlightened ones were once the same as you," Schala said. "The only difference is that we are under Cencos' control..
     Stephanie was also there, and said, "Like, what a totally filthy hole."
     "Dizzy," Schala said, "after the mountain of woe fell, I knew I would find you here."
     "Is safe to leave palace?" Dizzy asked.
     "It no longer matters! The ocean palace is operational!" Schala said.
     "It's all over!" Babs cried in an over-dramatic voice," we're all going to die in a world of boredom and...... EDUCATIONAL TV.V.!!!!!!!!!!"
     "Calm down, Babs," Buster said.
     "Relax. Without me, the Mammon Machine will not work, and I have turned my back on that evil," Schala said. "And I have opened the Skyway. Hurry! We must stop ..... my mother...."
     Somebody walked in the room and said, "Why don't we keep it right here."
     Everyone in the room and saw Montana Dalton walk in.
     "Monty!" Schala yelled.
     "Do you know how much it's costing to keep your stupid skyway open?" Monty asked.
     "I don't care!" Schala said.
     "We need you at the Mammon Machine, and time is money!!!" Monty said.
     "Leave her alone!" Dizzy said.
     Monty laughed and said," Ah, the purple hairball speaks!"
     Monty then drew his money rifle and said, "Quiet, you poor purple floormat!"
     Then, Monty fired hundreds of coins into Dizzy. He fell down groaning.
     "Oww!" Dizzy exclaimed.
     "Schala, you're going to come with me and do whatever I say! Ha ha ha!!!" Monty cackled.
     "Schala!" Stephanie yelled.
     Monty shot Stephanie with his coin rifle and said, "All the Queen's children seem to have a problem with authority, don't they?"
     Monty and the royal children disappeared suddenly.
     "Why would Monty waste money on shooting someone?" Babs asked.
     Buster walked over and looked at the coins left from the shots.
     "It's Canadian money. Worthless stuff," Buster said.
     Dizzy seemed all right.
     "We save Schala before too late," Dizzy said.
     The village elder walked over and said, "Impossible! Even though it's coming from the great, wise Dizzy Devil."
     Buster laughed and whispered to Babs, "How much more underdeveloped could this culture be?"
     "If the Queen is allowed to fulfill her scheme, all life is doomed to boredom and slavery!" Babs said.
     "We're willing to challenge the queen!" Buster said.
     "You've done so much for us, and we don't even know your names!" the elder said.
     "Don't worry about a thing. We'll take care of it," Buster said.
     "Take this," Dizzy said.
     He handed them a red knife, which he said was made from the same stone as the Mammon Machine, and told them they could obliterate the machine with it.
     They left the safe underground village and headed for the reopened skyway. They arrived there and stepped on the platform and began their ascent into the heavens to battle the despicable queen Lola and stop Cencos from ruining the entertainment world as we know it.
			Chapter 22: What lies beyond?
     Exactly like before, they traveled until they reached the top of Lola's floating continent and came face to face with her palace once again.
     They re-entered and nobody seemed to remember them from before.
     They rushed into the Queen's chamber only to see Monty at the throne.
     "Those idiots!" Monty grumbled to himself," why is that prophet allowed inside while I'm stuck on guard duty?"
     Buster then said, "Oh, Monty!"
     "Ha! There you are!" Monty exclaimed. "Found you!"
     "What are you talking about? We broke in here!" Buster said.
     "Well, whatever. When I destory you no money losers, I'll change the story so I found you!" Monty said.
     Monty challenged them to a fight. He drew his money pistol and aimed.
     "You're history, losers!" He exclaimed.
     Buster batted back the barrage of coins, and they hit Monty in his round face.
     "You morons! Hitting me with my own money! How dare you!" Monty yelled.
     Buster pointed his finger and aimed for Monty's safe in the corner. The dome of electricity enveloped it, and it was destroyed.
     "No!!! My money!!!! Why couldn't you have just taken me?" Monty cried.
     Dalton disappeared, leaving a gate behind.
     "Do we follow him?" Babs asked.
     "Sure. I've wanted to finish him off forever," Buster said.
     This gate behaved differently, because it was not a time portal. It brought them in a transparent stream of light into a dark area.
     This place has metal walls and dark floors with several statures around.
     "Where are we?" Babs asked.
     "The undersea palace," Buster replied.
     "How can you tell?" Babs asked.
     "Look over there," Buster said, pointing to a sign on the wall that read, "Welcome to the undersea palace, the birthplace of the end of the world."
			Chapter 23: Cencos Beckons     
          As soon as they entered the room, Toon from Masa and Toon, the creators and living embodiments of the Masatoon sword, said to the three, "The black energy grows. Something scary is walking up." He then disappeared, and the building shook violently.
     In the main room of the ocean palace, Queen Lola said, "Schala, raise the power of the Mammon Machine to its limit!"
     Schala did nothing and said nothing.
     "You dare to disobey me?" the Queen asked, very perturbed.
     "All right, mother," Schala said.
     She stuck her hands out and a glowing red light emerged.
     "Oh ... what splendor! The incredible power of Cencos!!" the Queen exclaimed.
     Schala moaned in disgust.
     The prophet looked at her with a cold gaze.
     Back where Buster and the others were, they were occupied fighting off the security machines.
     Slowly, they made their way through the undersea palace.
     "Is it just me," Babs said during a battle," or is this fighting and walking getting really repetitive?"
     "That's why the author doesn't bother to describe it in detail. It's boring," Buster said.
     One battle they encountered had a pink and blue robotic fly. Buster struck the pink one, and it sent a vibration back up his sword and did no damage to the fly.
     Babs struck the blue one and it disappeared.
     "My poor husband!" the pink one said. It cried and then exploded.
     "Some people take being single a lot worse than others," Babs commented.
     They continued forward until they found a staircase with Masa standing on it.
     "The ancient red rock has been passed down through the ages. From it, a magic pendant and a knife were made. We embody Dizzy's second biggest dream, second only to the ultimate party, within the knife. Now hurry! If you're planning to confront the Queen, we're counting on you!"  Then, he disappeared and the palace shook once again.
     Back at the core, the Queen said, "Ahh, I can feel it. The pulse of eternal life! Of complete control!! Ha, ha, ha!"     
     Schala was on the floor, crying, saying, "..... Dark force!!! ...... wild energy!!!! ..... Aughhh!!!!!!!"
     The Mammon Machine began to glow red.
     "The Mammon Machine is too dangerous!" one of the human workers in the ocean palace said.
     Lola fired a beam into him and he disappeared.
     "Mother!" Schala yelled.
     "Don't stop, Schala!" Lola said. "We're almost there!"
     Buster and the others headed down several long stretches of stairs and hallways before they reached an elevator.
     "What's this here for?" asked Babs.
     Buster stepped on it, and it jolted downwards. The others followed.
     As Buster was being pulled down, his neck stretched ten feet and got snapped back into place.
     The three of them screamed as the expeditious elevator descended them into the dark floor below.
     "Where do you think this thing is taking us?" Babs asked.
     "Down," Buster replied.
     "Well, duh, but what do you think is down there?" Babs asked.
     "Don't know. Guess we'll find out," Buster said.
     On their way down, red lights began to flash on their way down.
     "Warning! Warning!" A robotic voice blared down the elevator shaft.
     Buster drew his sword and looked around.
     "What's happening?" Buster asked.
     "Warning!" the voice repeated. "You are our one millionth intruder!"
     Suddenly, tons of confetti began to float down onto them.
     "One million intruders? They must not have good security here," Buster said.
     The multi-colored confetti was getting thicker.
     "Buster," Babs said," I don't think this is such a good thing."
     "How so?" Buster asked.
     "Notice how you can't see anything through the confetti," Babs pointed out.
     "Uh oh," Buster said.
     The three of them huddled together at the center of the elevator platform. This elevator was not enclosed. It was completely exposed in the shaft.
     Buster drew his metallic sword, Babs held her crossbow vertically, and Fifi protected her face with her tail.
     They saw a small, red shot fly by them. The walls began to fire off shots.
     It escalated. The shots came fast and furious. The three ducked as low as they could to avoid the fire. The confetti still blocked their vision from all sides.
     Finally, the platform stopped moving. They hit ground, and the small bits of paper stopped raining on them.
     "Is everybody all right?" Babs asked.
     She walked off the platform and surveyed the troops.
     Fifi seemed okay. Buster was singed from head to toe.
     "Are you okay?" Babs asked.
     "No ...... problem.... " Buster said slowly.
     Buster just shook off the singes and they advanced forward.
     They passed through another door and into a room with floor only surrounding a glowing, yellow center. There was no visible path across.
     "Where do we go now?" Babs asked.
     "Maybe we could swim across ze goo," Fifi suggested.
     "I don't think so, Fifi," Buster said. "One big rule when you're attempting to save the world. Never swim in the unidentified liquid found in the bad guy's hideout."
     "Anymore rules we should know?" Babs asked.
     "Yes, and there all here is Buster's Guide to Saving the World," Buster said, waving a red notebook in their faces.
     Babs swatted the book out of his hand and into the peculiar liquid. It dissolved instantly.
     After a few minutes of searching, they found a switch. When they pulled it, a bridge formed across the liquid.
     They darted across it, weapons in hand, ready for whatever may lie ahead of them.
     Unfortunately for them, all that lay ahead of them was the men's room.
     Buster began to walk in, but Babs pulled him back.
     "Buster, where are you going?" Babs asked.
     "We've been walking around for weeks without a break," Buster said, "and this is the first men's room we've seen the whole time."
     "It doesn't take much to fascinate you, does it?" Babs asked.
     Buster walked in and saw a hole cut in the ceiling.
     "Babs, Fifi, get in here," Buster said.
     "We're not going in there," Babs protested.
     "It iz how you say .... filthy!" Fifi added.
     "Just come on," Buster said.
     The two came in and saw this hole in the ceiling. Inside of the corridor was a trail of change.
     "Monty must've gone through here," Buster said.
     "Wow, your powers of deduction are amazing," Babs said sarcastically.
     The three climbed through this corridor. At the end, they fell into a room where Montana Dalton was standing with his back turned.
     "So you made it this far," Monty said.
     "What? You thought the dumb confetti trick was going to stop us?" Buster asked.
     "No. The dumb confetti trick was to annoy the save the trees foundation by wasting a lot of paper. I assumed one of you would've been dumb enough to swim in that hot goo back there," Monty explained.
     Fifi blushed a little and struggled out a phony laugh.
     "What did I tell you about the guide to saving the world?" Buster asked.
     "Oh, shut up!" Babs told him.
     "This is it, dumb rabbits! THEY will take care of you!" Monty said.
     Montana fled, saying, "Come on, golden twins!"
     Within seconds, giant versions of Ted Turner and Donald Trump emerged from the ground.
     "I told you they would kneel before me one day," Monty said.
     Monty had now completely left the room.
     "What do we do? They're plated in gold!" Babs exclaimed.
     "Don't worry. I have a plan," Buster said.
     Buster took a coin out of his pocket and through it back in the opposite direction.
     The two giant rich men saw it and immediately persued it. They broke down a few walls and eventually landed in the hot liquid.
     A scream, mixed in with the words, "Give me my penny!" could be heard from room over.
     Monty walked back in.
     "You beat the golden twins? But, they were so rich and powerful! How did losers like you beat them?" Monty asked.
     "We took advantage of their best personality traits," Buster replied smugly.
     Suddenly, the room shook and a brilliant red light surrounded them.
     "What's this strange force?" Monty asked. "Could this be, Cencos energy?"
     They all looked ahead at the door to the next room.
     "I've got a bad feeling about this," Buster said.
     "All my work will be in vain if I don't become the richest person in the world!" Monty yelled.
     "So that's why he's actually working for once," Buster said. "To get rich off the queen."
     The red light ceased to exist.
     "This is your lucky day," Monty said, followed by another hasty departure.
     They chased Monty into the next room, but he got away.
     In the next room a strobe light flashed and a round blue creature stood before them, exactly like the one they encountered in 2300 A.D.
     "This is the hall of the Mammon Machine." the thing said. "Now is the time to turn back."
     Then, the blue creature held out a tin can with a label reading,"tips" printed on it.
     "I'll give you a tip. Get lost," Babs said, pushing it aside and continuing down the hallway.
     At the end of the hall, they saw six humans, two toons, the prophet, Stephanie, Schala, and the vile Queen Lola standing there.
     "We're not letting you to meddle with Cencos!" Babs proclaimed.
     Schala turned around and noticed them.
     "You're.... alive!" Schala said.
     The Mammon Machine began to glow. A beam of energy attacked Schala.
     "Help me!" She yelled.
     "Schala," the prophet said.
     "What are you doing Schala? I need your help up here," Lola said.
     "Buster! Use the old man's knife to stop the machine!" Babs suggested.
     Buster pulled out the red knife and hurdled it at the Mammon Machine.
     It stabbed into the Mammon Machine. On inspection of the knife, they discovered it was the Masatoon. This must be how it broke in the first place.
     "My beautiful Mammon Machine!" The Queen yelled.
     "It's like, coming.... " the prophet said quietly.
     "No, stop! The sword can't stop it alone!" Schala said.
     The charges continued. The room became pitch white. Nothing could be seen through the impenetrable light.
     Suddenly, the light dissipated and before them stood the ultimate horror. The bane of toon existence. Cencos.
     She was just as they had seen in the video before. Seven hundred feet tall or so, a neon pink dress, hair in a bun, wire glasses and long plastic earrings. She was horrible.
     "Ahhh!!!! We're all gonna die, or end up on PBS!!!!!!!" Babs yelled in horror.
     "I represent HCACH," Cencos yelled.
     "Is that pronounced like ...... hick .... ack or what?" Buster asked.
     "Silence!" Cencos yelled.  "It means hideous creatures against cartoons
and humor!!!!!!!!"
     "What are you gonna do with us?" Babs asked, shaking nervously like she was in the arctic in a bathing suit.
     "You don't know what you really are. One of you has the knowledge of why you are the ultimate threat to my plan, and now you must pay for interfering and being so ..... WACKY!!!!!" She snarled.
     A rain of anvils began. Hundreds of thousands of anvils covered them, driving them further and further into the ground.
     "HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!" Cencos cackled.
     She assumed she had finished them off. Little did she realize all that anvils could do to a toon was end up giving them bandages or misplace a body part or something. Nothing fatal. She just hadn't adequately researched the topic.
     Once again the white light returned, and suddenly the prophet appeared.
     "It's like, totally show time," the prophet said.
     The prophet removed the dark cloak that had covered it all this time to reveal Shirley Magus underneath.
     "I've like totally been waiting for you, Cencos and some junk," Shirley Magus said.
     "I totally swore a really, really long time ago that, like, I'd totally destroy you and some junk," Shirley Magus continued.
     Suddenly, Queen Lola appeared and said, "Ha! A false prophet. You will be just another snack to the great Cencos!"
     Schala then appeared and said, "Mother, stop!"
     "Schala go to your room!" Lola said.
     "No!" Schala resisted, "This power can only ruin!"
     "Get away from here Schala!" Lola ordered." The almighty force of Cencos lives in us. You are a part of it. Not like these lowlifes who rely on cheap toon gags or humans that rely on toons for entertainment. If you try and stop me, I will distroy like the freaks you aided previously."
     Shirley Magus lifted up the barrage of anvils to reveal holes hundred of feet deep.
     The area they all appeared in was odd. Cencos existed there, and the ground looked like spinning water, but kept changing color and was solid.
     "Come, false prophet. Feel the power of Cencos!" Lola said.
     Cencos pulled out a collection of infomercial tapes and said, "Buy! Buy!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!"
     Shirley Magus collapsed and fell into one of the holes.
     "Foolish loon," Lola said.
     Suddenly, a blue light was emitted from Cencos. Buster, Babs and Fifi were removed from the deep holes in the ground.
     "Shirley Magus! I thought we killed you!" Babs yelled as she awoke.
     All three of them could hardly stand.
     Buster got up and walked towards Cencos, who Queen Lola was perched atop of.
     "I have to beat the villain ..... I'm...... the hero of this...... episode!" Buster yelled.
     Buster kept approaching Cencos. The might censorship woman flashed red eyes and seized Buster with a beam that began to lift him up.
     "Buster! Get out of there!" Babs yelled to him.
     "Buster!" Fifi yelled.
     Buster couldn't escape now. Cencos had captured the ultimate threat to her plan, and could now do anything she wanted to with him.
     Buster suddenly disappeared. It looked as if he disintegrated right before their very eyes.
     Everyone but Buster re-appeared inside the Mammon Machine room.
     "I like can't beat Cencos!" Shirley said.
     The room was shaking violently.
     The palace was underwater and crumbling.
     "How do we escape?" Babs asked.
     "The last of my pendant's power will save you," Schala said.
     Schala pointed her arms and sent Shirley Magus, Babs, and Fifi back to the surface.
     On the snowy surface, Cencos emerged and began releasing her rage. She attacked the whole planet, claiming to be cleansing it of wackiness.
     She destoryed Lola's kingdom, which debris flew from and the whole thing crashed.
     The earthbound ones were struck by a tidal wave and hid in caves.
     Pieces of the world lay scattered everywhere. Cencos had come out nearly 14,000 years early and ripped the ice covered planet to shreds. It was time to pick up the pieces. With or without Buster.
     Babs and Fifi awoke inside a cave.
     "Buster!" Babs yelled as she woke up.
     The elder of the village of the Earthbound ones came in and said, "You're awake."
     "What's going on?" Babs asked.
     "You were delirious," the elder replied.
     "Buster! What's happened to Buster?" Babs asked.
     "We found no one else," the elder said.
     "I can't believe it! Buster's dead!" Babs said.
     Babs got a stunned look on her face. It was hard to deal with the fact that your leader had met his untimely demise at the hands of the mortal enemy of civilization.
     "Where are we?" Fifi asked.
     "Earthbound village," the elder replied. "This place is the only refuge after Cencos struck."
     "It is how you say .... a pity," Fifi said, reffering to Buster.
     "Where's Dizzy?" Babs asked, pulling herself together a little bit more.
     "When the disaster struck, Dizzy tried to save Stephanie from a black portal, but he was also dragged in," the elder replied."
     "Where has Schala gone?" Babs asked.
     "I don't know. Nobody has seen her since," the elder said.
     "Where's the Epoch?" Babs asked.
     "Your ship is quite sturdy and safe. It's like it followed you here," the elder said.
     The elder gave them the pendant that belonged to Babs, but Buster carried around with him.
     "Take all the time you want. I'll be in the commons," the elder said.
     The two sat down.
     "How do you get over this?" Babs asked. "I was just getting to know Buster. He was a bit cute, in a sick way."
     Suddenly, they heard somebody talking outside.
     "Alas, Buster twas a great soul. Pity that he died in the prime of life," Plucky said.
     Plucky walked in.
     "Plucky. What are you doing here?" Babs asked.
     "I hast discovered the tragedy that hast grief stricken thee. I hast commeth to offer my assistance," Plucky said.
     "Well, for starters, let's go see what the elder's doing at the commons," Babs said.
     The three walked out of the village and into the commons. Several people were scrambling to locate loved ones, and looking for shelter.
     Some of the magic users were around, saying things like, "How can I live in a world without magic?"
     The elder asked them, "All rested up?"
     "Yeah," Babs replied.
     "I see your loud mouth friend found you," The elder said.
     "Hey, shutteth up!" Plucky ordered.
     "Now, bow and pay homage to our new leader, because he is the richest man in the world now, Montana Dalton!!!!!!" the elder said.
     "What?!?" Babs asked, confused.
     Monty came out with a crown on his head and scepter in his hand.
     "That's right," he said, his golden tooth shimmering.
     "How you HE be your leader?" Babs asked.
     "You there, ugly, poor, pink rabbit. What's wrong? You're lucky to be alive!" Monty said.
     "Why is HE your leader?" Babs asked.
     "Because," Montana answered, "the old crone and the pesky gurus are gone. I now rename this place the kingdom of Montana Dalton!!! Now you must obey me!!!!!"
     "I'm not going to obey you!" Babs yelled.
     "Hmm. That vehicle of your must be outside. It's just like the one Belthasar was building. I've decided you don't deserve such a wonderful toy. Only rich and powerful people like me can have it!" Monty said.
     "You can't take the Epoch!" Babs said.
     "Guards!! Arrest them!!! They could start a rebellion or something, and the last thing we need is people thinking for themselves," Monty said.
     Arnold the pit-bull came out and hauled them away.
     They were knocked out and awoke in a jail cell. They could hear the hum of an engine.
     Suddenly, they remembered seeing an airship attached to Lola's kingdom. This must be it.
     There was a ladder with a sealed door above them.
     They realized their equipment was gone.
     "We've been robbed!" Babs yelled.
     The money, the weapons and everything else was gone.
     "We have to get out stuff back, and kick Monty's butt!!!" Babs said.
     Babs charged for the door, but got flattened against the titanium.
     "Okay, new plan," Babs said, her voice muffled from the pain of running into a titanium door.
     "Plucky, you're a bad actor," Babs said.
     "Hey, no I'm not!" Plucky said, protecting his fragile ego.
     "Then prove it! See that window in the door? Go act sick right in front of it," Babs said.
     Plucky walked right up to it and began coughing.
     "Oh," Plucky moaned," it's going ...... Huh ....... dark ........"
     A guard looked in.
     "Hey, what's wrong with him?" he asked.
     "He's sick. Montana fever. You see, Monty doesn't bathe so he carries around a lot of diseases. Who knows which one Plucky has contracted," Babs said.
     The guard opened the door and ran in. Babs hit him in the back of the head, and he fell unconscious.
     "Okay guys," Babs said, "here's the plan. Get our stuff back, and beat up Monty."
     They left out the door and saw security robots everywhere and tons of doors.
     "Where do we go from here?" Babs asked.
			Chapter 24: The new King
     They walked into the room outside the cell. There was a window that confirmed they were inside the blackbird.
     "Great, how do we find our stuff?" Plucky asked.
     "Here's an easy way," Babs said.
     She spun around for a second, and suddenly was dressed like a banker.
     "Help!!!! The bank had ripped Monty off for ..... THREE DOLLARS!!!!" Babs yelled.
     All of the security rushed for the door to go to the bank. They ended up throwing themselves out of the plane looking for the bank.
     "Good work, Babs," Fifi said.
     They looked around at the now depleted of security facility.
     In various rooms, they found their equipment thrown around on the floor next to some spilled Pepsi and a half eaten cheese sandwich.
     "You would think people who work for somebody so rich would have more class than this," Babs commented.
     Finally, they came across a treasure chest. Plucky dashed ahead of the others and opened it.
     Inside was all of their money. Plucky began stuffing it down his armor.
     "So what's in there, Plucky?" Babs asked.
     "Nothing," Plucky replied.
     Babs walked up to him and saw the money.
     "Heh heh, guess I was wrong," Plucky said with a guilty look on his face.
     They searched for Montana for about an hour before they finally came across something.
     On the upper floor of the blackbird, there were several steel grates that allowed you to peer into the rooms below.
     They looked down and saw Montana with a few workers standing next to the Epoch.
     "What is he doing to our ship?" Babs asked.
     "Shh!" Fifi quieted.
     "Hurry up and add the weapons to this thing, and improve propulsion. Come on! What am I paying you for?" Monty shouted.
     "Actually, sir," the worker said, "you're not paying us."
     "And if you don't pick it up I never will be," Monty said.
     Plucky pulled out the Masatoon and tried to break the grate, but it didn't work.
     "We have to find a way around," Babs said.
     "Yeah, but how?" Plucky asked.
     Babs pointed to a vent above them.
     "Oh, no. I'm not crawling through there," Plucky said.
     Within two minutes the three of them were crawling through the vents to get to Monty.
     "According to my calculations," Babs said a couple of minutes after they started, "we should be over him right now!"
     Plucky cut a hole for them to go through. They climbed out and found they were on the broad, teal wing of the blackbird.
     "Niceth goingeth," Plucky said.
     "Look!" Babs shouted and pointed.
     They saw the Epoch flying out.
     "It works! It works!" Monty yelled as he flew it towards the blackbird.
     "It's the Epoch!" Babs said.
     "It's not the Epoch! It's the Aero-Montana imperial!" Monty said.
     Lasers began to fire out of the ship, narrowly missing Babs and company.
     Babs bounded onto the Epoch, Plucky flew over, and Fifi just leaped. They all landed on the front of the Epoch.
     "Going somewhere?" Babs asked him.
     "Get off of here!" Monty said.
     "No!" Babs said.
     Monty pulled his coin gun out and said, "Fine. I'll just shoot you off!"
     Babs reached over and grabbed his wallet.
     "Ha! Now I can kill your only friend!" Babs said.
     "Like your only friend got killed?" Monty said.
     Babs got an intense look of fury in her eyes.
     "You ***!" Babs said.
     She threw his wallet off of the Epoch.
     "My money!!!!!" Babs yelled.
     "Why don't you follow it?" Babs asked.
     She grabbed Monty by the back of the neck and hurled him off the Epoch to the ground thousands of feet below.
     "Remind me never to make you mad," Plucky said.
     The three climbed in.
     "Do you think he changed the controls?" Babs asked.
     Plucky tried a button. It fired lasers into the blackbird.
     "I would say so," Plucky replied.
     Plucky hit another button. They gained control of flight.
     They watched as the blackbird, the last remaining piece of the kingdom of Lola, crashed and burned in the ocean.
     They landed the Epoch near the village of the earthbound, which was renamed the last village.
     "Dead or alive," Babs said, "we have to find Buster."
     They walked into the commons, where the general consensus was that Monty got what he deserved.
     A woman stood next to a seed and said, "Hey, you people. What do you think I should do with this seed: burn it or plant it with hope?"
     "Sister, can't you see thou art busy?" Plucky said.
     "Plant it," Babs said.
     "You're right," the woman said. "Who knows? Maybe it will save the environment some day."
     They went over to walk to the elder, but somebody came rushing up to them and said, "Hey, you guys. Some strange lady with purple hair and red eyes came looking for you."
     The three looked at each other, and then asked where they went.
     "He's up on that hill over there," the person replied.
     They went up the hill and just saw a blue, glowing dot.
     "Greateth! We came all the way up here for this?!?" Plucky asked.
     Plucky began stepping on the blue spot.
     Just then, Shirley Magus appeared.
     "So, it's like totally you," Shirley Magus said.
     "Magus! We meeteth again!" Plucky said.
     "Like, check it out. Everything's at the bottom of the sea," Shirley said. "Like, the kingdom is totally gone and some junk."
     "So what?" Plucky asked.
     "I once lived there. I was a totally different person then. I even had like a totally different name," Shirley said.
     Suddenly, the screen got blurry. Time for another flashback.
     Shirley remembered being at the Mammon Machine with a rabbit named Bugs and Dizzy Devil. They both got banished for being toons.
     They also accidentally banished Stephanie through the gate.
     The gate brought Dizzy to Loon village. The next gate brought Bugs to the end of time. Stephanie was brought to 600 A.D.
     The flashback ended.
     "Like, in case you totally didn't figure it out," Shirley said, "I was like, Stephanie."
     "Well, duh," Plucky said.
     "I totally want revenge on Cencos for making the gate that sent me to 600 A.D." Shirley said.
     "How ironic that like the same thing that forced me out of this kickin' place would like totally bringing me back. Being from the future, I totally made the queen believe I was a prophet," Shirley said. "But like Cencos is totally powerful. If you oppose her, you will most definetley end up like your friend, Buster."
     "You dareth to insult him?" Plucky said.
     "He's totally gone. Play with fire, get burned," Shirley Magus said.
     "Shirley Magus, hold thy tongue!" Plucky said.
     Shirley reached her hand inside her mouth and pulled on her tongue.
     "Not literally, you lunatic loon!" Babs said.
     "Do you totally wish to fight or what?" Shirley Magus asked.
     "No. Beating you up won't bring back Buster," Babs said.
     The three headed back down the hillside.
     "Like totally wait!" Shirley yelled.
     "What dost thou want?" Plucky asked.
     "I want to go with you," Shirley told them.
     "Perish the thought, scoundrel!" Plucky said.
     "There just like, might be a way to bring him back," Shirley said.
     "Nonsense," Plucky replied.
     "Bugs, the guru of time knows how to restore like totally lost or misplaced streams of time," Shirley said.
     "I guesseth we have no choice. Let us taketh the loon with us, and go see Bugs," Plucky said.
     The four of them strapped themselves in the Epoch and set it for the end of time.
			Chapter 25: The time egg
     They began to lift off into time when suddenly, the ocean began to ripple.
     "What's going on?" Babs asked.
     "Like, the ocean palace has risen," Shirley said.
     "We'll come back for it," Babs said.
     They shot through time and ended up at the end of time.
     "Bugs!" Babs yelled.
     "Hey, where's the blue furred kid?" Bugs asked.
     Babs explained what happened.
     "Oh, that's terrible," Bugs said," I have nothing to help but a song."
     "On top of all this, don't sing!" Babs pleaded.
     "I wish I could help, kids," Bugs said.
     "Like, only the guru of time can help us now," Shirley said.
     "Who are you?" Bugs asked.
     "I'm like Shirley Magus, the evil wizard and some junk," Shirley said.
     "Can you help us find the guru?" Babs asked.
     "I've heard of him, but what do you want with him?" Bugs asked.
     "We've heard he might be able to bring back Buster," Babs said.
     "To bring back lost loved ones and friends..... isn't that what everybody wants? I had friends once. There was Daff....."
     And then Plucky interrupted with, "We'd love to hear about the good old days, but we don' t have time right now."
     Babs, Plucky, and Shirley were about to leave, with Fifi staying due to the three person rule.
     Right before they climbed in the Epoch, Bugs yelled, "Hey!"
     "What is it?" Babs asked.
     "Take this with you," Bugs said.
     He handed them an egg.
     "What do we want with an egg?" Babs asked.
     "It's a time egg. Let's call it the Chrono Toon. It's pure potential," Bugs said. "By unleashing a specific course of events, it can have a powerful effect on time. Just ask the guy who made the Epoch how to use it. It may or may not work, but the Chrono Toon gives you the possibility of bringing Buster back."
     They once again were about to leave when Bugs said, "Hey! I never told you my name! How did you figure it out?!?"
     "Like, it was totally easy. A dude named Bugs got lost in time, and you're like totally the guru of time, who was Bugs," Shirley said.
     "Whatever," Bugs said.
     The man who made the Epoch was in 2300 A.D.
     They set course for 2300 and landed at the dome where the man who made the Epoch was. Hanging right above was the ocean palace, which existed in this time as well.
     "What is that thing doing here?" Babs asked.
     "It's following us," Shirley replied.
     They once again ignored it and found Belthasar inside the dome.
     Babs explained the situation to him.
     "On death peak, you will find the power to restore life," Belthasar told them."  And you also have to have a clone identical to that person. Only then can the Chrono Toon work," Belthasar told them.
     "I know just where," Babs said.
     Babs and the others hopped in the Epoch and took it to 1000 A.D.
     "Like, slow down! Where are you taking us?" Shirley asked.
     "To get a clone," Babs replied.
     They landed at the Millennial fair and Babs rushed inside.
     At one of the tables they were selling a life-sized Buster Bunny plush.
     "I don't know why they sell exact replicas of Buster," Babs said, "but they do."
     She looked at the price tag. It cost more than they had, since the wallet with Gogo money was gone.
     "How do we pay for it?" Plucky asked.
     Babs ran over to the freak show and pushed everybody else out of the way.
     "Ladies and gentleman!" Babs yelled across the fairgrounds. "See the most amazing tricks in the world!"
     Babs fired ice at Plucky. The crowd cheered.
     "Only $5 a seat!" Babs yelled.
     Hundreds of spectators gathered around.
     "Babs," Plucky whispered, "what are you doing?"
     "This is the only way to get money, so sit here and participate!" Babs told him.
     Babs, Plucky and Shirley stood atop a wooden stage, watching people give off their money to see what has become like second nature to Babs and Shirley, but Plucky still didn't get.
     "Now, let the show begin!" Babs said.
     Her real intent was to gain enough money to get the Buster, but she also relished the experience of being on stage.
     "Now, for my first trick," Babs began, "how many of you have drinks that could use some ice?"
     People murmured to each other, and five or six people put their hands up.
     "Excellent," Babs said.
     She raised her pink, furry arms. Her hands began to glow blue. An arctic winds was heard, and ice was summoned. Huge blocks of it fell on people's heads like hail stones.
     "Ah .... he he he.... wasn't that a great trick?" Babs asked the thoroughly annoyed crowd who was just pelted with blocks of ice.
     "Boo!!!!" They all yelled.
     "Hey! Shutteth up!!!" Plucky yelled
     "How many of you find this duck irritating?" Babs asked.
     Almost the whole crowd put their hand up.
     "Good. Shirley, care to accommodate the audience?" Babs asked.
     Shirley's eyes flashed a deeper shade of red, and a black sphere enveloped Plucky. He disappeared.
     The crowd began to cheer, and throw tips at the stage.
     "Shirley, where'd you send him?" Babs asked.
     "Like, he's totally still here," Shirley said.
     "What are you talking about?" Babs asked.
     "He's like just invisible, but he thinks he's gone, just like these people," Plucky said.
     Shirley walked over and punched some air.
     "Ow!" Plucky said," who did that?"
     "I did," Shirley said.
     "I thought I was gone somewhere else. I can only seeth darkness," Plucky said.
     Shirley removed the spell, and Plucky was visible
     "Whoah. My head spinneth," Plucky said.
     "Now," Babs said, "suppose you were low on batteries."
     "Ahh!!!! What will you do?!?" Someone in the crowd shrieked.
     "Not to fear," Babs said.
     Babs picked up a cell phone, and handed it over to Shirley.
     "Shirley, show them how to deal with this problem," Babs said.
     Shirley ripped the batteries out of the back and held the phone in her hand. Her palm began to glow a huge electrical surge was released. The screen on the phone lit up, and the sound became loud and deafening.
     "Turn it off!" Babs yelled.
     "What?" Shirley asked over the unbearably loud noise.
     "Turn it off!" Babs yelled.
     "I like totally can't hear you. Let me turn it off," Shirley said.
     Her hand flashed red and she blew up the phone.
     The ringing in their ears stayed for few seconds.
     The crowd started yelling for their money back.
     "Like, no refunds!" Shirley yelled.
     The crowd got ready to storm the stage.
     "Like, stand back!" Shirley said.
     They didn't listen.
     "What do we do now?" Babs asked.
     Shirley's eyes flashed red again, and she said," Like, you totally asked for this."
     Suddenly, Sneezer appeared. Shirley rubbed a feather in front of his nose.
     "Ah .... Ah..... choo!" Sneezer blew the whole crowd away with one allergic blast, and then disappeared.
     Babs began to count the money.
     "One hundred...... two hundred...... three hundred..." Babs counted. " Three hundred and fifty. Is that enough for the Buster?" Babs asked.
     "Like, I totally don't know," Shirley said. "Since I've like never seen any of this stuff for sale in years, so you might get totally ripped off for it."
     They walked up to the vendor, and Babs said," Give me that Five foot Buster."
     The man said, "That'll be six hundred dollars."
     Shirley's eyes flashed red and she discharged thousands of volts of electrical energy into the vendor.
     Covered in soot and black from head to toe from the electrical blast, the man gasped out, "Okay ..... I'll lower...... the price..... just give my heart a second.... to start beating ....... again...."
     Eventually, the man recovered enough to sell them the Buster for $200.
     They took the Buster and ran back to the Epoch.
     "Come on! We can get Buster back now!" Babs said.
     They set the digital control panel to go to 2300 A.D. and they were off the try to revive Buster.
     Their ship landed at Death Peak in 2300 A.D., were they were told Buster might be revived if they had the clone.
     Death Peak was a mountain the size of Mt. Everest. The violent snow in this world seemed to be isolated only to this one location. Strong winds below down and only two trees could be spotted.
     "Does that look safe to you guys?" Babs asked.
     "Hah! I laugh in the face of danger!" Plucky said.
     Plucky began dashing up the mountain. After about ten feet, the winds blew him back, smacking him into a rock next to where Babs and Shirley were standing.
     "Plucky, are you all right?" Babs asked.
     "Little help here," Plucky said.
     Plucky was flattened like a pancake to the wall.
     "How do we get up there?" Babs asked.
     A small creature came running down death peak.
     "To climb death peak, you must solve this difficult riddle," the small creature said.
     Babs grabbed it by the neck and said in an intimidating voice, "Tell us how to get up there or I'll break your legs."
     The creature got petrified by fear and was unable to say anything.
     "Shirley, do something about the ice and snow problem," Babs said.
     Shirley's hands began to glow red and she fired a huge fire wave up the rockface of the mountain, causing all the snow to melt.
     There was, however, a problem. There was so much snow that suddenly melted that a huge wave of water came at them.
     "Surf's up!" Babs yelled as she got on the water with a surfboard.
     The other two were soaked from head to toe with freezing water, and not looking too pleased.
     "Now that the snow's gone, we can fly the Epoch up to the top of the mountain," Babs said.
     They climbed in their wings of time and ascended from the bottom to the top of the mountain.
     At the top, there was one bare tree along a thin, narrow extension of rock.
     "So, this is the summit of Death Peak," Babs said.
     Plucky began to speak, "We ask for your strength. They who fear'eth the night and stand 'gainst the darkness."
     Plucky pulled out the Chrono Toon. The pendant began to react. Small beams of energy came off of it and onto the Chrono Toon. The Chrono Toon shattered.
     "It broke!" Babs yelled.
     "'Tis folly.... to hath traveled so far," Plucky said.
     "Don't be sad, Plucky. That isn't going to bring Buster back to life," Babs said.
     "Buster! Come back!" Babs yelled.
     Suddenly, the sun dimmed over. The three of them were transported back to Cencos and the solid, glowing water - like substance on the floor.
     All of the people were petrified. It was the moment right before Buster died.
     "This is freaky, you guys. Nobody's moving," Babs said.
     "Like, only we can move," Shirley said.
     In this horrible scene, they could see Queen Lola standing atop Cencos with Buster being annihilated. Schala sat next to the foot of Cencos, with frozen images of Fifi and Babs there.
     Babs walked up to the frozen Buster.
     "Let's just exchange this Buster doll for the frozen real Buster," Babs said.
     Babs pulled the frozen Buster away and threw the plush in.
     "This place is weird. Let us withdraw quickly," Plucky said.
     The four of them were brought back to death peak. Next to the lone tree, the petrified Buster fell next to the tree.
     The three watched and wondered if this Buster was going to come back to life.
     "Wow, what a headache," Buster said.
     "Buster! You're alive!" Babs exclaimed.
     Buster stood up dazed and confused.
     "What happened? I feel like I've been gone forever," Buster said.
     "We'll explain later. You're really lucky, you know that?" Babs said.
     "Thy friends are loyal and true," Plucky said.
     "What is Shirley Magus doing here?" Buster asked.
     "I'm like, helping you guys beat of Cencos and some junk," Shirley replied.
     "Wow, I must've been gone for a long time," Buster said.
     They got in the Epoch and prepared for takeoff.
     "Buster, this thing can fly now!" Babs told him.
     "What? No! I don't want to fly!" Buster said.
     "Why not? It's quicker than walking," Babs said.
     "No way! Let's just go to the end of time," Buster said.
     Babs, annoyed that Buster didn't want to see the new capability of the Epoch, set course for the end of time.
     They landed there and Buster ran over to the old man.
     "What's up, Doc?" he said.
     "Bugs! It's you!" Buster said, sounding overjoyed.
     "It's been me all along," Bugs said.
     "You know who he is?" Babs asked.
     "Of course! He's a legend! He's my idol!" Buster said.
     "Well, kid. You know they don't know why, and I'm no idol anymore. You have to change all that," Bugs said.
			Chapter 27: The fated hour
     "By now, kids, you have to know that you are the only hope of defeating Cencos. There are many ways to get to her. For one, you can go to that bucket of there. Jump inside and you'll be brought to Cencos. Or, go to December 1st, 1999. The day of Cencos with the wings of time. Or, go to the black omen, which is the ocean palace floating in the air," Bugs said.
     "We should go! Now!" Babs said.
     "Wait, Babs," Buster said, "there's allot we could do to save the world while we can. Make it a better place," Buster said.
     "The kid's right," Bugs said. "Why, in the middle ages, a woman's sheer determination brings a forest back to life. A fugitive, Fowlmouth Ozzie, remains alive in the same time. Beat him and change the future. There's a task you can do in the future where machines originated. And, there's a very special stone that can shine it's light from the distant past to the far future. There's a ghost of a lofty knight in the middle ages who haunts the present. There's something in the middle ages that sparkles like a rainbow."
     "Well, who's going to go this time?" Buster asked.
     "How about, me you and Plucky?" Babs suggested.
     "Perfect," Buster said, "something tells me this is who should be going to do this anyway."
     They dashed over to the wings of time.
     "Wish us luck!" Buster said to Bugs.
     "You don't need it," Bugs said.
     The Wings of time left in a flash for 600 A.D. They would begin tweaking the future from there.
     "You need a miracle," Bugs said after they were gone.
     Their Epoch landed them in the middle of a desert in 600 A.D.
     "So, where do we start? We certainly have a lot to do," Buster said.
     "Well, I see a house over there. Let's go look inside," Babs said.
     The three walked in. The house had a sign outside that said, "Fiona's villa."
     "Hello?" Babs said as she opened the door.
     "Yes?" Fiona asked.
     "What are you doing out here, in the middle of a desert?" Babs asked.
     "Well, I'm trying to restore this forest. There used to be one here, but something stops it from growing," Fiona explained.
     "Sorry lady, but we can't helpeth you. We are searching for a giant business lady who intends to wipe out entertainment as we know it," Plucky said.
     "Plucky, unless you want to people to think you're insane stop explaining our mission," Babs told him.
     "Oh, right. Sorryeth," Plucky said.
     The three of them left.
     "I wish we could have helped her out," Buster said.
     "Yeah, considering all we've helped to destroy it would be nice to do something positive for a change," Babs said as they proceeded through the desert back to Epoch.
     "Well, I thinketh, ahh......." Plucky yelled until he fell in this hole in the middle of the desert.
     "Plucky, are you all right?" Buster called down the hole. No reply.
     "We'd better follow him," Babs said.
     Buster and Babs jumped down to follow them.
     Down inside the cave, there were patches of quicksand among large areas of regular sand. The walls were dark, and the room was dimly lit.
     "What do you suppose hollowed this place out?" Buster asked.
     The room began to shake.
     "I have a feeling we're about to find out!" Babs said.
     Suddenly, a giant scorpion stuck it's head out of the ground and snarled.
     "Ahh!!" All three of them yelled.
     "What do we do?" Babs asked.
     "I have an idea," Buster said.
     He reached down and pulled out a huge can of raid.
     "Raid: kills bugs dead!" Buster said.
     "I didn't know Raid was sponsoring this episode," Babs said.
     Buster laughed. He then sprayed the huge can into the face of the overgrown scorpion. It growled. Another two shots to the face and it died.
     Around the corpse, they saw ripped up portions of trees and other various plants.
     "That must be what was ripping up the forest," Buster said.
     The three returned to the surface and walked back to Fiona's home.
     "Fiona! We found out what kept ripping up the forest," Buster said.
     "What was it?" she asked.
     "Some kind of scorpion," Buster said.
     "Well, now at least I can start planting it again, but it will be hard without any help," she said.
     "Well, how about mechanical help?" Buster asked.
     "Sure," she said.
     "I know just the guy. Hold on a minute," Buster said.
     He dashed out the door, through the desert and to the Epoch.
     Buster said to himself," Hamton would be perfecto for that job! It's not like he was going to get back in the episode any time soon anyway."
     Buster got to the end of time where Hamton waited with Calamity and Shirley, the cast members who currently weren't doing anything.
     "Hey, Hamton," Buster said, "I've got a job for you."
     "Am I finally going to get to do something again?" Hamton asked hopefully.
     "Yes, come with me," Buster said.
     On the way back to Fiona, Buster explained the situation to him.
     "You brought me back in time to do gardening?" Hamton asked.
     "Yeah," Buster said.
     "All right!! Woo hoo!" Hamton exclaimed.
     "Glad you like it," Buster said.
     They arrived at the small, one story house in the forest.
     "Fiona, here's the perfect bot for the job," Buster said.
     "Hi. I'm Fiona," she said to Hamton.
     "I'm Hamton, and I'll be assisting you in re-growing the forest," Hamton said.
     "Excellent. Thanks, Buster for all your help," Fiona said.
     "Any time," Buster replied.
     Buster, Plucky and Babs walked back to the Epoch.
     "I wonder if they'll be able to make that forest grow again," Babs said.
     "It'll take hundreds of years. There's no way we'll ever know," Buster said.
     "Wait. Let's just warp to the future and check!" Babs suggested.
     They set it for 1000 A.D. to see if they had in fact changed anything.
     They arrived above where the desert was. It was flourishing with trees and plants of all types.
     "We did it!" Babs yelled.
     "We really didn't do anything. Hamton actually did the work," Buster reminded her.
     "So what? We brought him there, didn't we?" she asked.
     "Yeah, you're right," Buster said.
     "Where to next?" Plucky asked.
     "Maybe we should find Hamton," Babs suggested.
     "Does that mean we have to fly?" Buster said.
     "Yes!" Plucky and Babs yelled at him.
     Buster shut his eyes as they began to move forward.
     "I hate flying, I hate flying," Buster said under his breath as they accelerated in the Epoch.
     Babs, impersonating a tour guide, said, "On your left you will see Acmia castle. On your right, you will see the Millennial fair. And, behind you, you will see a cowardly blue rabbit who isn't afraid to save the world, but is afraid of flying in the Epoch."
     Babs asked, "Hey! What's that?"
     It was a building they had never noticed before. It was exquisite looking.
     "Set us down there," Plucky said.
     They landed right next to it. There was a sign engraved in gold saying, "Shrine to Fiona and Hamton."
     "Hamton gets a shrine? What about me? I want a shrine!" Plucky said.
     "Quiet, Plucky," Buster said.
     The three opened the door.
     "Welcome, friends to the shrine of Fiona and Hamton," the receptionist said.
     They peered up at the front and saw Hamton standing there. He was shut off.
     "We need to get him working again," Babs said.
     Buster went back to the end of time and got Calamity to come to the shrine.
     "Even Calamity doesn't get why Hamtom gets a shrine," Babs said.
     Calamity opened up Hamton's back and began to adjust some wires.
     After five minutes, Hamton's eyes open. He yawned.
     "How long have I been asleep?" Hamton asked. "Two, three hours?"
     "Two hundred years," someone in the shrine replied.
     Hamton's eyes grew wide. A small hatch in his chest opened to reveal a coffee maker. He guzzled a ton of coffee.
     "Let me show you guys around the forest we planted," Hamton said.
     They brought Shirley and Calamity Coyote from the end of time to go see it. They figured Hamton may not do anything else important the rest of the journey, so he should have his moment.
     He walked them in. They couldn't believe it. It was full of the thickest, bushiest plants they had ever seen.
     After a short walk through, Babs said, "Wow, Hamton. I'm impressed. How did you get it to look this good?"
     "By doing nothing else for two hundred long, tedious years," Hamton replied.
     The forest featured several different types of plants, animals and other stuff.
     By the time they had reached the center, the sun had descended and the night arose.
     "Do you think we should head back?" Babs asked.
     "No. All the freaks come out at night," Buster said.
     "You mean a rabbit with a sword, another with a crossbow who's really a princess, a mute guiness Coyote, a robotic pig, a demonic queen and a duck that only talks in old English isn't a bunch of freaks?" Babs asked.
     "I brought a few tents with me," Hamton said.
     "It's warm enough in this clearing here. Let's just go to sleep," Hamton said.
     The group of them lay each a few feet apart in a moderately sized clearing, all asleep. Except for Calamity Coyote.
     Calamity was still wide awake, and not because of the snoring of Plucky. It was because of something he was remembering.
     They hadn't taken a trip to Calamity's house so they didn't know that his mother had her legs crushed in a machine years ago.
     The screen blurred in familiar flashback fashion.
     It was seven years ago. A machine set up by Wile E. Coyote. He left it unattended for a few minutes.
     "Calamity, what does this thing do?" his mother asked.
     Calamity shrugged his shoulders.
     This device had a conveyor belt attached to what looked like a phone booth with a heavy piece of machinery in it.
     Calamity's mother walked up to it and pressed a red button with the words, "Do not touch" printed on it.
     The machinery began to make a loud noise and the conveyor belt, which Calamity's mother was standing on, began to move.
     She tried to run off the platform, but slipped.
     "Calamity! Stop the machine!" She shrieked.
     Calamity ran over and pushed the stop button.
     "Please enter password," the machine said.
     Calamity's eyes grew wide. He didn't know it. His mother was pulled in and her legs were mangled by the machine before it shut off.
     The flashback ended. Hamton woke up and noticed Calamity still awake.
     "What are you still doing up?" Hamton asked.
     "Couldn't sleep," read a sign from Calamity.
     "Why not?" Hamton asked.
     Through signs Calamity explained what happened.
     "I have an idea," Hamton said. "Why not use Epoch and change all that?"
     Calamity seemed to like the idea. He pulled out the gate key and punched in a combination.
     "What are you doing?" Hamton asked him.
     Through written words, Calamity explained he made a modification to the gate key to allow him to transport anywhere with the gate key at any time.
     A gate opened and Calamity walked inside. Hamton followed.
     They came out in Calamity's living room right before it happened.
     Calamity saw a younger version of himself walk down the stairs. His mother was about to hit the switch to start the machine.
     The older Calamity ran over and unplugged the machine. Nothing happened when his mother hit the switch. History had been changed, and Calamity couldn't help but wonder if there would be any subsequent alterations to the present.
     The two of them journeyed back to the clearing in the forest.
     "Calamity! You did it!" Hamton said.
     "Let's see if it worked," said a sign from Calamity.
     The two crept out quietly. It was about three in the morning now, and Calamity had been instructed to wake them up at seven. He figured nobody would wake up while they were gone and that four hours was sufficient time to go to his house and check.
     "Do you really think it worked?" Hamton asked as the two walked through the forest.
     Calamity nodded yes, and held out a picture of the Epoch.
     "You want to fly the Epoch there?" Hamton asked.
     Calamity nodded at him, confirming what the photo suggested.
     The two reached the Epoch.
     "Uh... Calamity. Do you know how to drive this thing?" Hamton asked.
     Calamity nodded his head no.
     "I think I should go back," Hamton said.
     Hamton then began to walk back into the forest, but Hamton pulled him back towards the Epoch.
     "You're still coming," the sign from Calamity read.
     Hamton sighed and got into the leather seats inside the Epoch.
     Calamity investigated the control panel, and Hamton shut his eyes and ducked down in the back seat, hoping to live through this and wondering why he didn't have the guts to go back.
     Calamity flicked the on switch and all the lights on the controls of the Epoch lit up. The headlights flashed into the forest and the sound of the engine starting was tumultuous.
     The ship took off. Calamity tried to steer the ship and it began spinning around, and switching altitude unpredictably.
     "Calamity, turn it off!!!" Hamton yelled.
     Calamity ignored this warning and kept flying.
     Eventually, Calamity deciphered the control panel to a certain extent and they were on their way to Calamity's house.
     Hamton did not look up once as they soared towards Calamity's small sub-urban dwelling.
     To the pleasant suprise of Hamton, Calamity made decent landing next to Calamity's residence.
     Calamity ran inside and upstairs. To his pleasant suprise, his mother was not in her usual wheelchair. She was up and walking around, perfectly mobile.
     Something else was also different. Calamity noticed that she was standing there adjusting mechanical inventions. She never used to do that.
     Calamity ran upstairs and saw Wile E. doing nothing.
     "Shouldn't you be inventing something?" asked a sign Calamity held up.
     "No, Calamity. After my conveyor belt compressor failed because somebody unplugged it while it was on, I lost my will to invent, remember?" Wile E. asked.
     Calamity got a stunned look on his face. His mother had become the inventor and Wile E. lost his inspirational because of what he did. The reactions of what they did in the past began to shine through into the present.
     Calamity wasn't going to go back in time to try and fix this. He figured this result was better than the alternative.
     There was a question that Calamity could not have though of. In the time where they really came from, but only Buster knew of, Looney Tunes came as the inspiration for Tiny Toons. Would the alteration of Wile E. Coyote's personality affect this time? If it did, would Calamity have been made differently? The answer to these question would be some time off, but they were important.
     Calamity checked his watch when he and Hamton got back outside of Calamity's house. six thirty.
     "We've gotta hurry!" Hamton said.
     The two rushed back inside the Epoch, flipped it on and headed back for the forest.
     When they got over the previous landing spot, it donned on them that they couldn't walk back in time.
     Calamity aimed the weapons cross hair at the forest and was going to clear out a landing spot.
     "Calamity! No!" Hamton yelled.
     Calamity reached for the fire button, but Hamton pulled him off.
     "You can't ruin two hundred years of work!" Hamton said.
     The two wrestled back and forth. They ended up crashing on a button and release the top hatch.
     To end their fight, Hamton pushed Calamity out of the top and he fell a hundred feet to the ground.
     "Sorry," Hamton yelled.
     Hamton hit the automatic landing button ( something Calamity overlooked before ) and ran into the forest. He found Calamity, bound in bandages, lying there.
     Hamton picked up the reprogrammed gate key and sent Calamity back to the end of time, then left and woke up Buster, Babs. Shirley, and Plucky.
     The four of them yawned and stumbled up off the ground.
     "I hate mornings," Babs said.
     Within a few minutes, Hamton was cooking breakfast on the microwave attached to him, Babs was in a bathrobe doing her hair and Buster was drinking coffee.
     Shirley wasn't doing any of the usual first thing in the morning things. She was levitating and chanting.
     "I thought I wasn't a morning person," Buster said.
     After an hour or so, Shirley was released from this trance and they were ready to plan some course of action.
     "We'll do one more thing before we go and fight Cencos," Buster said." Defeat Fowlmouth Ozzie in 600 and see if that changes anything."
     "What about all that stuff Bugs told us about?" Babs asked.
     "We don't have time to do all that," Buster said.
     "Are we ready to go yet?" Babs asked.
     "Yeah, I think we are," Buster said, "Everybody ready?"
     Plucky nodded yes, but Shirley said, "Like, I totally want to go back to that end of time place for a spell. See ya."
     Then, Shirley Magus disappeared and left four of them.
     "Drop me off at the end of time," Hamton said.
     Babs, Buster, Plucky and Hamton climbed into the Epoch. Their first stop was the end of time, where Hamton got off.
     "Good luck you guys," Hamton said.
     Buster waved good bye and they were off.
     They landed in 600 A.D. right outside Shirley Magus' old lair.
     "What are we doing here?" Babs asked.
     "Where better to look for Shirley's old henchman than inside her old lair?" Buster asked.
     Suddenly, a puff of smoke appeared and Shirley Magus came out of nowhere.
     "Like, I know where Fowlmouth Ozzie totally is," Shirley said.
     "Where?" asked Babs.
     "I'll show you like, where," Shirley said.
     She led them around the back of the forest. There was a large sign labeled, "Back door. "
     "This is like totally my secret back door," Shirley said.
     "Oh yeah, how secret," Plucky said.
     Plucky walked over and turned the doorknob. It shocked him. Then, the door opened and several weapons fired off, narrowly missing him.
     "Not that. Like, here's the door," Shirley said.
     They saw a door only inches high.
     "How do we get in there?" Buster asked.
     "I don't know. Like, I never had to use it before," Shirley said.
     Buster ducked down and peered inside.
     "I can't figure out how to get through here," Buster said from the ground.
     Plucky backed up, ran forward and kicked the bent over bunny in the behind. It pushed him through the small door.
     "Now you go," Babs said.
     Babs did to Plucky what Plucky did to Buster.
     Shirley said, "Llike, Babs. I can just transport you through the wall."
     Shirley and Babs used Shirley's dark magic to pass through the solid object and inside.
     In the first room was Fowlmouth Ozzie.
     "Oh ****!!!" Ozzie exclaimed.
     Shirley's eyes turned redder than usual, and a dark shadow enveloped Fowlmouth Ozzie.
     "You ****ing traitor!!" Fowlmouth Ozzie yelled as he was transported away into the blackness.
     "Where'd you send him?" Babs asked.
     "To a horrible place, where like the soul is deprived for all eternity," Shirley said.
     Shirley had sent him to Al Gore's house.
     "So, what now?" Babs asked.
     "I think we all know where he have to go," Buster said.
     "Why do we have to fight her now? Can't we just stay here a while?" Babs asked.
     "No. This story is at page 119 and I think it's gone on long enough," Buster said.
     "Fine, but shouldn't we all say good-bye first?" Babs asked.
     "Yeah. I'll take you to your castle in 1000 A.D. to say good - bye," Buster said.
     Shirley was nice and transported Buster and Plucky out, too this time. They were all going to say their farewells before they went to challenge Cencos.
     They went back into the Epoch and set it for 1000 A.D. In a flash they were right at Acmia Castle. they landed and Babs ran inside.
     "Princess Barbara A.... I mean Babs, you've returned," the guard at the door said.
     Babs and the others were immediately met by the chancellor at the door.
     "Princess, I have some terrible news for you," Babs said.
     "What is it?" Babs asked.
     "The King. He's being charged," The chancellor said.
     "For what?" Babs asked.
     "That's beside the point, but the trial is starting and he has no lawyer," the chancellor told him.
     "I can be his lawyer," Buster said.
     "You? Ha!" the chancellor laughed.
     Buster was lead into the court room. It was the same one he had been tried in so long ago.
     "Your honor," Buster said to the judge," what is the charge facing my client?"
     The judge shrugged his shoulders.
     "That isn't the point!" the chancellor said.
     "How do you have a trial without a crime?" Buster asked.
     The chancellor hissed.
     "You know, monsters just aren't as clever as they used to be," Buster said," I know from experience."
     Buster drew his sword and pointed at the chancellor. This supposed chancellor removed his mask and ran away.
     "Buster, how did you know?" Babs asked.
     "Without their mastermind after Shirley being alive, they had no leadership and grew dumb," Buster said.
     The king was relieved, and invited the three of them to come have dinner with him.
     Babs explained to her father, King Acmia, the situation. Sort of. She didn't go into the gory details, but she did say she'd be leaving for a while.
     "So this is good-bye?" the king asked.
     "I think so. Not forever ( at least we hope not )," Babs said.
     "Very well. I can't stop you from living your life," the King said.
     Babs hugged her dad good-bye, and then left for the Epoch.
     Their next stop was Buster's house to say farewell to Buster's supposed mother.
     They arrived there and Buster walked inside.
     "Buster, where have you been? Aren't you supposed to go to school or something?" she asked.
     "Do you see ACME Looniversity here anywhere?" Buster asked.
     "What are you talking about?" she asked.
     "There's not time to explain, but I don't think I'm ever coming here again," Buster said.
     "You're never coming home?" she asked.
     "No, I'm never coming back here," Buster said.
     His mother fainted. She was out cold.
     "Buster, why did you tell her such a horrible thing?" Babs asked.
     "I can't explain," Buster said.
     "You've been saying that a lot, Buster," Babs said.
     "If I told you, it would sound really dumb," Buster said.
     "Try me. You think two rabbits, an egotistical duck and a demonic loon trying to save the world from a giant censorship woman doesn't sound dumb?" she asked.
     "Fine, I'll show you," Buster said.
     They climbed into the Epoch and Buster set course for September 1990 and the day Tiny Toon Adventures premiered.
     "Don't say I didn't warn you," Buster said.
     When the flash of the Epoch switching times was finished, all they saw was a sign saying, "This time under construction. "
     "Great, it's broken," Buster said.
     They headed back for 1000.
     "Anybody you want to say good-bye to, Plucky?" Buster asked.
     "No one deserves the truly great honor of seeing the end of me but... me!" he said.
     "Whatever. Everybody ready?" Buster asked.
     "Yeah, we're ready," Babs said.
     "Shirley!" Buster called.
     Shirley appeared in the back seat of the Epoch.
     "You ready?" Buster asked.
     "Like, totally," she said.
     "Then, we're going to the black omen to challenge Queen Lola, which will lead to Cencos," Buster said.
     The Epoch was set in flight. The black omen that had followed them was existent in this time as well.
     They brought the Epoch in next to it.
     "Ready?" Buster asked.
     They all nodded yes.
     Buster pulled the stick labeled," park" on the Epoch. It froze.
     They all walked off of it and onto the long narrow platform leading to the inside. They walked along it and in a large door.
     In the first door they saw Lola standing at the end of the room.
     "It's too late. The time has come," Lola said.
			Chapter 27: The final Battle
     "No it isn't," Buster said.
     "Here she comes!" Lola yelled.
     Suddenly, a white light enveloped the room and they were brought the Cencos. The background was familiar.
     Lola laughed as the seventy foot tall being stepped up and peered down on them.
     "Lola!" Cencos bellowed," you have become a threat to quality education!!!"
     "No... I'm on your side!" Lola yelled.
     "Silence!" Cencos said.
     Cencos lifted up one giant foot and crushed Lola. Lola became like gum on Cencos' foot.
     "Now for you. Your true destinies can be averted and the only threat left to me will be eliminated!" she yelled.
     "Cencos, I have like totally wanted to tell you off for ruining my life and some junk," Shirley said.
     "We shalt defeat you!" Plucky declared
     "And what are you going to do to stop me?" Cencos asked.
     Buster looked up in awe.
     "I have an idea!" Buster exclaimed.
     "What is is this time?" Babs asked.
     "Look at her glasses. They're about twenty feet thick!" Buster said.
     "So?" Babs asked.
     "My lightning. Those would act like a magnifying glass!" Buster said.
     He aimed his hands and fired. The giant bolts got magnified and fired into her eyes.
     The seventy foot body collapsed and the head fell off.
     "Is it over?" Babs asked.
     "I wish it were. We have to go inside," Buster said.
     They all reluctantly walked inside the decapitated body and saw the inside was all mechanical.
     At the very center stood a six foot tall version of the seventy foot tall Cencos.
     "Fools," she said.
     "Give it up," Babs said.
     "Never! I suppose you haven't figured it out yet," Cencos said.
     "What?" Buster asked.
     "Why I let entertainment, and toons specifically, exist for so long," Cencos said.
     "Because you couldn't stop them?" Buster asked.
     "No. I created them all to weaken the knowledge and will of people. But, it seems to have empowered them. I figure it is time to harvest the weak minded humans and annihilate the toons," she said.
     "Never! We toons have gained purpose beyond you to just use us to weaken minds of people!" Buster said.
     "We entertain. We give meaning to otherwise dreary lives!" Babs said.
     "Silence!" she yelled.
     They could feel the massive power within. She still had all the capabilities from before.
     "Madam, you will be stopped!" Plucky said.
     "How?" She asked, snickering.
     Buster pulled out a portable T.V. Tiny Toons was on.
     "That's how!" he yelled.
     "No!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled out," not that!"
     "Yes! That!" Buster said.
     Cencos' head exploded and the structure crumbled.
     Buster and company ran out and got back in the Epoch. They watched the destruction from a distance.
     Lola was killed in the crumbling. The black omen disappeared. Cencos was gone, and Buster could go back to 1999 where he belonged. He could return home where Tiny Toons existed and his friends were like they always had been.
			     Chapter 28: Return to the way it was
     Buster set the Epoch to go back to the end of time. He walked over and talked with Bugs.
     "It's finally over. Can I get back now?" Buster asked.
     "Yeah, but remember. You created an immeasurable number of paradoxes. A lot of things in your time may have changed, or nothing at all may have changed," Bugs said.
     "So there may be no Tiny Toon Adventures?" Buster asked.
     "I can't answer that question," Bugs said. "But maybe I'll still get to be a star."
     Buster loaded everyone into the Epoch and prepared the return them to their homes here. If all worked out, their homes would once again be Acme Acres.
     Their first stop was 1000 A.D. Acmia castle.
     Buster landed and Babs stepped halfway out.
     "I guess this is good-bye," she said.
     "Don't count on that," Buster said," we'll see each other again."
     "Until then," Babs said.
     Buster and Babs smiled at each other, and Babs walked into the castle with tears coming to her eyes.
     Next, Buster let Calamity off. He never said a word, but did hold up a sign that said, "Good - bye."
     Buster set it for 600 A.D. right outside Acmia Castle and let Plucky off.
     "Shall I see thee again?" Plucky asked.
     "Maybe," Buster said.
     Plucky walked inside, ready to dispense a distorted tale of his adventure where he acted as the hero to anybody willing to listen.
     Buster then set course for 2300 A.D. To his pleasant surprise, this future had been changed for the better. There was no Distruction and everything remained intact. The day of Cencos never happened.
     "See ya, Hamton," Buster said.
     "Good-bye Buster," Hamton said.
     Hamton ran inside a dome there. They were all working and full of life now, unlike before.
     Shirley got herself home. Now, Buster needed to find his way back.
     Buster headed to the end of time and consulted with Bugs.
     "Bugs, how do I get back?" Buster asked.
     "You need what brought you here. It seems worthless, but holds a value to somebody," Bugs said.
     "Plucky?" Buster asked.
     "No. The mirror you gave to Beeper. He has it, even though time has changed," Bugs said.
     "Thanks Bugs," Buster said.
     "See you in class Monday morning," Bugs said.
     "I wouldn't miss it for the world," Buster replied.
     Buster ran back to the Epoch. In the future, Beeper gave him back the mirror.
     "Here goes nothing," Buster said.
     His hand lit up and lightning fired into the crack. The world around him began to spin, and a brilliant white light was seen.
     Buster woke up, dressed in his normal clothes, and feeling like his normal self outside the Warner Bros. studios.
     "Hey, Kid. Wake up!" A security guard yelled.
     "Where am I?" Buster asked.
     "WB studios," the man replied.
     "What year?" Buster asked.
     "1999," the man replied.
     "Is Tiny Toon Adventures.... existent?" Buster asked.
     "Of course. Everybody loves Tiny Toons," the man replied," it's the highest rated show on T.V. And, you must be Buster Bunny! You're my hero!" he said.
     "What about Looney Tunes?" Buster asked.
     "Oh, yeah. Old man Bugs, He could learn a trick or two from you," the man said.
     "And Animaniacs?" Buster asked.
     "What?" the security man asked.
     "Animaniacs? Other Spielberg cartoon with ugly, irritating dog - looking things for stars?" Buster asked.
     "Never heard of it. Sounds dumb though," the security guard said.
     Buster dashed to Acme Acres and looked around. The burrow was intact. Acme Looniversity was fine. Everybody seemed normal.
     "Did I just dream all that time travel stuff?" Buster wondered as he sat in his bed that night.
     A knock came on the side of the burrow.
     "Who could that be?" Buster wondered.
     He ran up and saw a package waiting for him.
     A note attached read, "Thought you might need this in case we ever have to do this again - Bugs."
     Buster opened it. It was his sword.
     "I knew I couldn't have dreamed it," Buster said.
     He hung the sword on the wall, and thought for a while.
     "Only one thing changed. Animaniacs no longer exists. Who cares? Everything important is fine. Tiny Toons is still on. Bugs is still himself. All my friends are what they were before. Everything worked out. I'm just a little scared by Bugs saying I might have to do something like that again one day."
     Later on, Buster realized that the powers he had were gone. He didn't mention anything to anybody, because he knew they wouldn't know anything about it. He only discussed it with Bugs once or twice, and the eerie thought remained that one day he may have to go back through time and do it all over again with different villains and a new story to unfold.
