the space jam 2 post (spoilers)

Tl;Dr: there should have actually been conflict with the toons so that bugs relationship with them as his family could have been better explored as a parallel to LeBron James’ character. What we got was a contrived mess that did nothign for anyone and weakens the whole movie, also wasting everyones time.

My biggest gripe with this movie is the disconnect between the way Bugs is written and portrayed and the motivation given as to why he was abandoned at all. The first time Bugs is introduced he is alone, having been abandoned by the rest of the Tunes leaving for greener pastures within the Warner Brothers serververse. Bugs is not shown to have done anything that would warrant being abandoned, nowhere does the film imply explicit, deliberate coercion on the part of the antagonist in separating his friends from him nor does it even use the visual medium of the pictures shown on the screen that they were unhappy in the Toon World and/or the “franchise worlds” they are gratuitously animated into.

According to Bugs, the messaging being given to them was that they were “wasting their time” living in the toon world. What that means is unclear, leading to a very weird scene where the entire cast sans Bugs is implied to have left of their own free will and on some level were nondescriptly dissatisfied with life in their own world. There are so many things to be said about the IP shoving garbage that is the entire runtime of this movie, but this is the part that makes the least sense to me. I think they were going for “representation of the future thinks the Looney Tunes are outdated,” but that comes across only after careful deliberation and is barely there in the actual text of the movie.

The audience and the characters themselves are given nothing other than “serververse cool” as a reason for these characters to leave Bugs, and also no indication anywhere that there is something stopping them from coming back. There is no barrier to entry in these words but transport, which historically has been very easy in Looney Tunes and from how easy it was to bait Marvin and steal his ship, easily could have been done at any time. And then, all the other characters do throughout the serververse is play “recognize the IP dress up.”

There was no reason for Bugs to stay there alone going mad unless it was some sort of self-imposed exile because he failed his friends, or there was the aforementioned barrier to entry to and from Toon world (which doesn’t seem to exist). Addressing the former, what would be the reason for that? Bugs has done literally nothing. He has done nothing wrong. Nothing worth cutting him off. Nothing.  All he did was choose not to leave his home. The actual presented stakes of this situation are so bizarrely void of any meaning when there is no reason for them to be separated or get back together at all other than “Warner Brothers is making a new Space Jam movie,” and even then they don’t make any sense at all, and the emotional stakes the co-lead to this movie could have had are so contrived and nonsensical they had to introduce a life-or-death element one hour in because none of the other characters or the story itself are actually responding to the emotional journey the performance (given by the combination of the voice actor and the animators, I know Bugs Bunny isn’t really there) is trying to convey.

This movie is fucking awful and confused and there’s not enough thought put into the emotional journey of Bugs Bunny, and this is mostly just a thought dump as to why. I genuinely believe I thought more about the plot of this movie than the writers did, and I watched it for the first time literally 26 hours ago. At least Back in Action had the decency to only be an hour and a half long and has interesting character moments with Bugs and Daffy (who was done. So fucking dirty by Space Jam 2) despite having a lot of the same problems as this movie, weirdly enough.

I read your story Space Jam 2 Across the Serververse!! I loved your interpretation of the Tunes being a dysfunctional family! The hilarious fourth wall breaks! It was funny and heartwarming! I wanted to ask your permission if I could make a Tv Tropes page out of your story?

...OMG. Yes! That's brilliant, yes you can.

Space Jam 2 AU [AKA, Across the Serververse] Chapter 1

Hey! My names RoxyGoth and this is [as the title suggests] an alternate universe of Space Jam 2.  Like, no LeBron alternate.

I do not own any characters from Looney Tunes or Space Jam.

Bugs was running through Tune Town forest, hoping against hope he wasn’t to late. He leapt over tree-trucks, skidded round corners and eventually hitched a ride with Marvin. 

“Remove yourself from my space-ship, earth creature!” Marvin commanded, sticking his head out the window of his spaceship.

“Eh...relax Doc. It’s not to far.” Bugs said. “Jus’ behind dat rock.”

“That is irrelevant - pardon? Did you say ‘rock?’“ His eyes went wide as he saw the rock hurtling towards him at 100 miles an hour. “Oh how vexing.” 

There was a explosion, then out of the smoke Bugs came flying to the ground, his parachute billowing out behind him. “What a maroon.” he said, upon reaching the ground. He quickly unhooked himself, then he looked at his watch and did a double take. “Oh man, Oi’m late!”

He ran round the other side of the rock and down to the beach that the rest of the toons [san Marvin] were waiting on. Pepe and Penelope were already saying there goodbyes.

“Wait for me!” Bugs yelled. “Wait for me!” He skidded onto the beach, accidently kicking sand onto the other toons so they resembled sandcastles.

“Bugs!” Penelope said, laughing. “Watch it! You’re getting sand everywhere!” The two of them hugged and then Bugs hugged Pepe before stepping back and wiping a tear from his eye. “I’m gonna miss you guys!” He said.

“Bugs, we’re only going for 6 months.” Penelope pointed out. “It’s not like you’ll never see us again.”

“Apologies, family.” Marvin said, hurrying over to them. “I was parking my spaceship. It’s a nightmare trying to find a free spaceship zone.”

Pepe and Penelope went through the hugging routine again with Marvin before finally getting on the cruise-ship liner that was waiting for them. 

“See you all soon!” Penelope said, waving wildly.

“Au revoir!” Pepe added, waving as well. “Je vous verrai tous bientôt! Essayez de rester à l’abri des ennuis!” *

Sylvester snorted. “Like he can talk.”

As the liner started off on it’s destination the toons all waved the couple off before heading back up to Tune Town. 

“And look at that!” Daffy grabbed Bugs’s shoulder and indicated the air. “No sthink!”

Bugs rolled his eyes, but didn’t actually disagree. Around him the other looneys started talking about what they were going to do that evening. Suddenly there was a loud bang and everyone jumped. Yosemite Sam put the drum he’d just banged back into his hammerspace and said, loudly. “A’ight! Now which of ya idjits wants to challenge me to a game of poker?”

“I will!” Daffy said, stepping forward dramatically.

Behind him Porky face-palmed and muttered. “O-o-oh boy, h-h-here we go.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was at this point that Al-G-Rhythm closed the server, a strange pondering look over his face.

After a few seconds of his master just staring into space, Pete got so concerned he waved a tentacle-like thing in front of his face. Rhythm slapped him away before skulking to the back of the room he had created and sitting in a high-backed, regal-looking chair.

After a few minutes of deep thought, Rhythm then got up, walked back to the front of the room and, with a simple wave of the hand, brought up the entire history of the Looney Tunes.

Being the king of the serververse, Rhythm had full access to the history of the characters within it, so it was no issue for him to pull up the Looney Tunes file and see not only when they were created and what they had been in, but also how they had interacted within the serververse itself.

Now he was looking at the history, Rhythm realised that the looney tunes interfered. A lot. For example, there was that issue with the DC toons a few years back, where they all got put into different worlds. They were also a few incidents within there own group where they’d come to the defence of one another. The most recent one being the cancellation of Pepe LePew where the other toons had attempted to argue his case and failed. But they still tried.

Of course there was a small chance they wouldn’t notice what he was doing. But could he risk that? After all, it would take a lot of time and a huge amount of luck for him to even try and pull it off, and if the Looney Tunes suspected what he was up to during that time... 

“I can’t risk it.” he said, out loud.

Pete beeped in confusion and Rhythm snapped. “Keep up, Pete! I want to cause havoc across the serververse and I don’t want anyone interfering! All I need is the right technology...”

Pete beaped*

“I know we don’t have the right technology, that’s what I’m waiting for! Someone to invent it! But when someone does then...” He gave a deep laugh. “...then I will no longer have to live in servitude to Warner Brothers!”

Pete beeped.*

“I know the superhero’s will intervene, that’s to be expected - they’re superhero’s! I can handle them! The Looney Tunes-” Rhythm’s tone grew darker and the entire atmosphere dimmed to match him. “Are different. Unpredictable. I don’t like unpredictable...”

Pete beaped, questionigly.*

A faint smirk appeared on Rhythm’s face. “I’m SO glad you asked...”

Pepe - Goodbye! I will see you all soon! Try to stay out of trouble!

Pete 1 -  We don’t have the right technology.

Pete 2 - Won’t the superhero’s...

Pete 3 - What are you planning to do?

Across The Serververse Chapter 3

Hey! I'm back. Firstly, thank you to @thatsalotoftoons​, @preciouslittletoonette​ and @ananicoleta​ for commenting and reblogging this. 

Secondly, this chapter is what I like to call the 'explanation chapter'. I've tried not to info-dump, and I've edited it at least 3 different times trimming it down, so hopefully this is not to complicated, but I must admit the Serververse really intrigues me as a world and I'm really looking forward to exploring it through this.

See chapter 1 for the disclaimer and let's crack on.

Every other time Bugs had been to WB Central it had been buzzing, characters from all properties walking around, a few friendly arguments, a few hard-core fights, even a few drag races [usually the car kind, not the Queen kind] 

Now however, it was quiet. Vewy, very quiet as a certain well-known hunter would say. There were quite a lot of characters milling around the place, but none of the energy that usually accompanied them. Also, it was dark, Bugs realised, not pitch-black, but darker than usual. Like someone had placed a cover over a still-turned on screen. 

“Eh...what happened?” Bugs asked Pepe and Penelope.

They looked just as confused as him. “We do not know.” Pepe admitted.

“We’ve been on that cruise for 6 months, we’ve not been back here.” Penelope said, looking close to tears. “This iz awful”“ She added, tears springing to her eyes.

As Pepe started to try and calm her down, a familiar voice lifted Bugs’s spirit.

“Bugs, Pepe, Penelope! How lovely to see you all again!”

“Marvin!” Bugs exclaimed in delight, running over to the little Martian, picking him up and swinging him round joyously. “Am oi glad ta see you! What’s happened here? It’s like someone’s cut de power!”

“You’re more correct than you might think.” Marvin said, when Bugs had put him down. “Warner Brothers have seen fit to disable the entire system until they can get access to it again. Theirs's a problem, you understand. It appears the ‘famous Looney Tunes characters-” Here here made air quotes. “- have been put into different worlds. None of the humans can figure out why and are attributing it to a virus. They’ve called in multiple Information Technology people, but none of them can figure it out. Then again.” Marvin conceded. “I highly doubt any of them have dealt with a sentient A.I. before. All we know is it’s causing panic in the human verse - you can hear it if you get close enough to the portal - and what they’ve done is essentially put the worlds the other Looney’s have gone into into ‘freeze mode’ so they can’t shift or do anything else until they figure out what’s going on.” At the end of that rather lengthy explanation, Marvin sighed. “They may be there for quite some while.”

“So...lemme get dis straight.” Bugs said, thoughtfully. “We can’t get to the human world?”

“That is correct. Rhythm has blocked the portal into the human world to all WB characters.”

“And we can’t get in and out of the other worlds the rest of the fam are stuck in?”

“That is correct.” Marvin said, again. “Although-” He added. “-I think that may change now. Might I enquire how you guys got here?”

Bugs explained the events leading up to this moment - including how Rhythm had flung the toons to the other worlds - and Marvin nodded. “Interesting. I think I understand, but it requires a bit more explanation. Please walk with me while I fill us all in. Now, you may be wondering how I knew where to find you? I simply used my Tracker-3000 from Mars-” Marvin waved the device in the air. “-to track where you were. It’s a device I had gifted for me from the King Of Neptune. I had hoped I would never need to use it, but unfortunately I have-”

“-You’ve tracked us?” Bugs echoed, more than slightly disturbed. 

Marvin blinked. “Yes. Was that not clear? Please, do not think I did this idly. I hoped I wouldn’t need to ever use the trackers, but unfortunately I have had to. Anyway, I could see that you, Bugs, were in Tune Town, but none of us could get to you. I made further investigations with some of the more technically advanced characters here and it looks like Rhythm has placed a block on all current WB characters. None of us can enter or leave any of the other worlds. You may be able to see where I’m going with this?” he added, as an aside.

“Pepe isn’t a current character.” Penelope said, softly.

Marvin nodded eagerly. “Correct, sister. As Pepe isn’t a current character it seems he can travel between the worlds, and - judging by the fact you are here as well and the boat showed no issue with travelling - it seems that anything he is travelling on or with is likewise given ‘a free pass’, so to speak. Now-” Marvin cleared his throat. “I wish to seek clarification on this point, so please forgive my impertinence - but at the exact moment you and Pepe travelled through to Toon world were you...” A faint blush adjured the Martians cheeks. “...touching at all?”

“We were holding hands.” Penelope said, easily. “We were the second time as well.”

“Hold on, oi wasn't holdin’ hands with them.” Bugs said, quickly.

“No, but you were in ‘Big Chungus’ form, so that was probably what allowed you access. Now, with that information in mind, I would guess, Pepe, that anything you are touching - be it an inanimate object or another toon, will travel through as well. Or maybe it’s just everything that is on something you’re touching can travel as well?” Marvin added, thoughtfully. “That would explain how the captain of the boat could travel-”

Bugs groaned and ran a hand across his forehead. “Look Marvin, as fascinating as all dis is, it’s a bit much. Can you jus’ tell me where de others are so we can get going?”

“Certainly. Could you just remind me who actually got teleported, please?”

That was no issue for Bugs as the images would forever be burned into his mind. “Daffy, Porky, Lola, Elmer, Sylvester, Tweety, Granny, Speedy, Wile.E, Road-Runner, Foghorn, Taz, Yosemite Sam, Gossamer and Witch Hazel.”

“Well, I can help you with one of them.” Marvin said, as they finally approached the ‘Toon-Town’ section of W.B.C. “Just through here.” And he pressed open the door.

Inside the door was a world that was exactly like the ‘Toon Town’ from ‘Who framed Rodger Rabbit’ but without the Disney characters.

Marvin led Bugs, Pepe and Penelope through Toon Town until they reached Foghorn Leghorn’s barn.

“Look, I say, look who came back!”

Bugs’s grin threatened to split his face as he saw the rooster heading towards him, arms outstretched in welcome. 

“Foghorn!” The rabbit leapt on his younger brother and hugged him tightly. “Oh, I thought you was a gonner!”

“It, I say, it takes more than some computer to get rid of me.” Foghorn said, proudly. “I always come back!”

“Of course.” Dawg’s [AKA George.P.Dog’s] dry voice said, from about two foot away. “It ‘elps that your ‘random location’ was here and not - say - Game Of Thrones.”

Foghorn put Bugs down and said - as an aside. “That, I say, that’s a shout out, readers.”

“I think they got that, Foggy.” Dawg said, rolling his eyes.

It was at this point that Penelope interrupted, asking if Foghorn had just been transported to W.B.C or if anything else had happened.

“No, I just, I say, I just woke up here.”

“Woke up?” Bugs echoed.

Foghorn looked a bit sheepish and looked at Barnyawd.

George explained that 5 and a half months ago Foghorn had just literally dropped out of the sky and onto Dawg’s head. “Once I got da fat lump off of me, I saw he was unconscious and not funny unconscious-” Dawg clarified. “But actually unconscious. He was like dat for about a day or two before he woke up ag’in-” Dawg took a sharp breath as the memory hit him. He steadied himself and then continued with. “-And when he woke up he told us all what had happened. By that point though we knew something bad was going on because not only had this happened-” Here George indicated the dark surroundings. “But a few of us toons had tried to get through to the Human World and couldn’t. All it took was Marvin then double-checking the trackers he’s put on us-”

“-Yeah, cahn we go back to dat at some point?” Bugs asked.

“-An’ he saw the different worlds our family’s been split up into and then when Foggy woke up he confirmed the entire thing.” Dawg sighed and ran his hands over his face. “It’s been a nightmare worrying about them all dis time, because we’ve had no idea where they are or what they’re doing or if they’re bein tor-”

“Yeah, Oi did that spiel back in chapter 2.” Bugs said impatiently. “Right. Oi think oi get it now. Let’s go, Martian-” Bugs grabbed Marvin's arm and pulled him away. “We got a family ta save!”

“Wait, oh wait!” Bugs and Marvin skidded to a halt to see Junior [Sylvester's son] running towards them. 

“Eh...what’s up kid?” The rabbit asked, getting down to Juniors level.

Junior stopped sharply - accidently kicking a cloud of dust into the two toons faces - and, with one arm dramatically flung across his face, said. “Oh, Uncle Bugs, I know you have a lot of toons to get, but may I PLEASE request you start with my father? He is silly and often doesn’t think things through, but he’s my father and I love him so. May I please request you start with him and bring him back? I miss him.” At the end of Junior’s spiel, Bugs burst into noisy sobs and, getting a large handkerchief out of his pocket, wiped his eyes with it before wringing it out into a random bucket. 

“Of couirse I will.” he promised. “Jus’ watch me. Oi’ll aim to have him back as soon as possible. Now-” Bugs stood up and signalled to Marvin.  “-Let’s go, short-stack.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“Now we wish to make this simple.” Marvin said, as he Bugs, Pepe and Penelope entered the spaceship. “So, if I just pull up a list-” He did so. “The trackers I put on you all will enable me to see exactly where you all are at any given moment.”

“Yeah, can we go back to dose trackers at some point?” Bugs asked.

Ignoring him, Marvin continued. "So, as you can see,  Sylvester is here." He pointed to 'Cartoon Network World'. "I'll just see if there's anyone with him. Bear with." A few moments of typing later and the trackers for Tweety, Yosemite Sam and Taz lit up. Marvin's eyes went wide and typed again. The screen zeroed in on Cartoon Network planet, showing a breakdown of the different sections of it. "Okay." Marvin said, slowly. "That is interesting. Sylvester and Tweety are both in Coolsville, AKA 'Scooby-Doo World' and it seems like there in the 1960's universe."

"Eh...it would hav' ta be Coolsville." Bugs muttered. "What wiv it's population of crazy crooks an' all."

"You just need to change into Chungus and then we can go." Marvin said, pointedly.

Bugs slapped his forehead. "Oops, I forgot!" He transformed into Big Chungus and gave Marvin a thumbs up.

Nodding the Martian pressed the 'arrive as close to as possible' button and the spaceship faded away.

Space Jam 2 AU [AKA Across The Serververse] Part 2.

Hey! Roxy Goth here. So, just a couple of quick note before we carry on, firstly -  from now on I think I’ll just have the title of this as ‘Across The Serververse’ and drop the Space Jam 2 AU bit. 

Secondly - I can’t remember exactly how Rhythm got the toons into the Servereverse, by that I mean if they literally just stepped into it, ALA Dom + LeBron or if they had to go into a spaceship like Marvin’s. 

So I’ve just done something that may or may not be right. Enjoy!

Warning: Swearing

*6 months later*

Pepe and Penelope were excited. After 6 awesome - but admittedly long - months they were finally coming back to Tune Town. As they had been last to be picked up last time it meant they were also last to be dropped off, so by this point they had the boat to themselves.

“Ah, mon leetle cherry-blossom.” Pepe said, embracing Penelope. “The other passengers, they have gone, which leaves a monsieur and a mademoiselle alone together. What do you suppose we do in ze short about of time we have?”

Penelope giggled and hugged him, but as she hugged him she got a view of their home world. “P-p-pepe-” She said, faintly.

Not liking the nervousness in his wife’s voice, Pepe turned and his jaw dropped.

Tune Town was deserted. There were no signs of life anywhere, tumbleweeds ambled lazily across the desert parts of it, while in the forest parts the trees had started to go somewhat wild. That had always been Elmer and Sam’s job [and Marvin’s, if he was around] to cut down the trees. So where were they?

Before either of them could really process what was going on, the trees started shaking with so so much force that Pepe and Penelope were inclined to cling to each other, despite the fact they were on a boat.

“What is it?” Penelope whispered.

“I don’t know.” Pepe said, forgetting to put on his French accent. 

Just then a small figure darted out of the trees and ran towards the beach. “Don't stop!” The voice of Bugs Bunny called. “Keep goin’!” They could see him properly now, running down the beach and along the jetty. When the boat got close enough the rabbit braced himself and jumped onto it, hitting the floor with so much force he became flat.

“Hey! You have to pay!” The boat-captain yelled, while Pepe shook Bugs so he became 2-D again.

The rabbit reached into hammerspace and pulled out a couple of notes before just hurling them at the captain with an impatient. “Dere, does dat cover it? Now-” He turned to his friends. “Am Oi glad ta see you two!”

Pepe and Penelope were to stunned to respond to that, there eyes taking in the rabbit’s appearance. His eyes were wild and excited, his chin had stubble on it, his fur was messy and unkempt and - the most worrying of all for Bugs Bunny - his ears were down. He had also seen fit to dress himself in a tramps outfit. 

Seeing his friends horrified look, Bugs looked down at himself and said. “Eh...I guess ya wanna know what happened, don’ cha?” Upon getting a nod Bugs yelled to the captain to ‘park it a moment!’ and - grabbing a torch out of nowhere - began with: “It all started a mere two weeks after you left meself, Daf and Elmer were practising our famous ‘Duck Season, Wabbit season’ routine, actually, ya know what? I’ll show ya in flashback. Hold on-” He put his hands to the side of his head and concentrated.

*Flashback starts*

“Duck season!” Bugs said, ripping down a poster,

“Wabbit season!” Daffy snapped, yanking down another poster.

“Duck season!”

“Wabbit season!”

“Duck-!”

Bugs was cut of in his witty comeback by Elmer suddenly sighing and sitting down on the grass.

Bugs and Daffy looked at each other in confusion, before simultaneously shrugging and sitting next to the hunter, one on each side of him. Bugs got a carrot out his hammerspace and took a bite. “Eh...what’s up, Hunter?”

“Sowwy.” Elmer said, tiredly. “I’m not feewing it today.”

“No prob-lemo!” Daffy said, before Bugs could speak. “What do you want to do? We could go to Australia!” He pulled down a backdrop of Australia, causing them all to sweat. “Or France!” He pulled down another backdrop and threw a string of onions round both his brothers necks. “Or England!” He pulled down another backdrop and grabbed a cup of tea out from hammerspace. “Justh name a place!”

Elmer, holding a cup of tea with a string of onions slung round his neck, looked wide-eyed and confused. “...Home?” He said, simply.

Daffy sighed and the backdrops fell around him. “Okay then. I suppose we’ve had enough for one day. Oh, Bugsy, Bugsy ol’ buddy, ol pal!” He slung an arm round the rabbits shoulders. “Might I enquire what you are making for dinner?”

“Eh...ya can ask.” Bugs said nonchalantly.

As Daffy started to try and barter his way into a good dinner, the scene switched to the middle of Tune Town, where a tall, black, slightly shimmering man was talking to the other LT’s.

Bugs’s eyes narrowed and he marched towards them, yelling. “Hey! Who de hell are you? Dis is a private island, ya know!”

“I am Al-G-Rhythm.” The guy said, smoothly. “I am Warner Bros newest mode of technology. The link between all of your worlds. The Serververse. No longer will you have to travel between world like a second-class citizen, you can all live in one place together.”

“An’ dis benefits us...how?” Bugs asked, not believing all this for a second.

“You get to expand your horizons. Actually go into other characters worlds. You can explore, who knows? Maybe even rebrand-”

“Eh...I don’t think so.” Bugs said, confidently. “We’ve done enough ‘rebranding’ over de past few years. We’re all good here.” The other toons nodded along with him. 

“That’sh what YOU think!” Daffy said, dramatically poking Bugs in the chest. “I for one would LOVE to spread my wings!”

“Eh...jus’ talk ta Warner Bros, Daf. I’m sure they can get you a role spoofing some of de other properties.” Bugs said, easily.

“Of course.” AL-G-Rhythm purred. “With the offer I’M making you you can go anywhere and be whoever you want to be. All of you.” He added, seeing the other Looney Tunes beginning to look interested. “Anything and anywhere you want to be. I mean, let’s face it, you’ve all done so much for this stup - I mean, Warner Brothers over the years, isn’t it time you cut loose and had some fun?”

Bugs’s eyes narrowed. The Looneys were perfectly capable of having fun without needing to go across the serververse, thank you very much. He looked around, expecting to see his family with similar expression, but instead they were all talking to each other about it and sounding...excited?

“I can take you anywhere you want to go.” Rhythm said, his voice raising a little above the noise. “Hogwarts, Austin Powers, Matrix, you name it, WB have probably done something with it at some time. And if you wanted to go back in time, no problem, we still have the Paramount Pictures stuff on a different planet.”

“Reawwy?” Elmer -who was a big fan of The [original] Addams Family - asked.

Rhythm smiled. “Reawwy - eh, really. All you have to do is step into the serververse...” He stepped to one side and a suddenly a glowing door appeared from nowhere. “...And you can go anywhere you want. Now...who’s with me?”

The other Looneys looked tempted, they really did.  But after a shared glance and one of those ‘telepathic conversations’ they were so good at, Porky shook his head and said, politely but firmly. “T-th-thanks for t-t-the offer, Mr R-r-rhythm, but if it’s all the sa-the sam - makes no difference to you, we’ll stay here.”

The other looneys nodded.

Al-G-Rhythms eyes grew hard and his voice dropped to a baritone level as he said. “Well...don’t say I didn’t try and do it the nice way.”

Before any of the toons could ask what he meant though, Rhythm raised his hands and every toons except Bugs was lifted in the air, all with various shouts of surprise.

Bugs heart pounded as he looked at his family's frightened faces - some of them were clearly in pain - and he yelled. “Let ‘em go! Take me if ya hav’ ta!”

The other Looneys all started yelling at him not to do it, that it was a stupid idea. Rhythm looked at the grey rabbit and seemed to be considering it. Then he shrugged and - with a dramatic swoop of the arms -  made all of Bugs family disappear. 

“NNNNNNOOOOOO!” Bugs yelled and kind of did a little dance where he tried to go to one side, then the other, but realised that unlike his cartoons he had no idea what had just happened. “A’ight Buster.” Bugs growled. “What the fuck have you done with my family?”

“Oh!” Rhythm said, with false innocence and Bugs’s fist itched to punch him. “That was your family? Oh...I had no idea. From the way you treat them I thought it was the ‘Bugs Bunny’ show.”

“Yeah, a’ight, ya made ya point. Now bring ‘em back!”

“And where would the fun be in that?” Rhythm smirked, then became deadly serious. “Now listen to me ‘wabbit’ and listen carefully, course I ain’t sayin’ this again. I have sent your assistants-”

“-Brothers and sisters you mean.” Bugs corrected.

Rhythm looked surprised. “You consider Lola Bunny a sister? I thought you were dating.”

“Eh...” Bugs waved a hand. “That’s in canon Doc. This is ‘off-stage’ so ta speak.”

Rhythm hummed thoughtfully then - remembering he was supposed to giving a monologue - carried on with. “Whatever they are to you is no matter. The point is they are all spread across the servisverse and they’ve all been sent to random places that-” He laughed. “-Hell, even I don’t know! And YOU-” He pointed at Bugs. “-Have 6 months to find them and if you DON’T they will be deleted!” He started laughing hysterically.

“Eh...” Bugs said, left eye beginning to twitch. “Ya know Warner Bros have access to the servers as well and will realise we’re not in our world? They’ll then send us back.”

Rhythm scoffed. “You think I’m an idiot? I’ve thought of that - you wanna know how? Well, FORGET IT!” He suddenly bellowed, getting right in Bugs’s face. “I’m not going to tell you! You’ll have to figure it all out for yourself. but I’ll make it fair for you.” He said, voice taking on a soft, almost fatherly quality. “I promise that I won’t look at your progress until the last day, deal? Then you can’t say I’ve interfered. Deal?”

Bugs yelled his protestations at the top of his lungs, but Rhythm just laughed and disappeared back into the serververse. 

*End flashback*

After the end of that flashback it was safe to say Pepe and Penelope were quite shocked. They were still trying to get there head around the fact that all this had happened in the 6 mere months they’d been away, when they heard a strange sound and saw Bugs crying.

Penelope hushed him and Pepe offered him a handkerchief. Bugs blew into it noisily at exactly the same time the horn blew before handing it back to Pepe who looked at it in disgust and threw it over the side of the ship. 

“So what happened after that?” Penelope asked, fearing she already knew the answer. “Where are they?”

“Oi don’t know, okay!?” Bugs wailed. “I don’t know! Dere in different worlds somewhere, but I don’t know where and I don’t know how it works! Oi don’t know if they’ve just gone to the worlds, but without being able to shift so they stand out like a sore thumb or if they’re replacing someone else within dat world! In which case, where’s de character dere replacin’? Oi don’t know which worlds dere in, oi don’t know if dere safe or happy or bein’ tortured - I DON’T KN-!”

*SLAP*

Bugs blinked and felt the imprint Penelope’s hand had just left on him. “T’anks. Oi needed dat.”

“We weel get them back.” Pepe said, placing a hand reassuringly on Bugs’s shoulder. “Myself and Penelope will help you. We will not rest until out family, it iz complete!”

Bugs smiled shakily and wiped his eyes. “Well, dere’s one issue with dat-” Seeing his brother and sister’s curious look he gave a half-hysterical laugh and asked. “Well, why do you t’ink oi’m still here? Oi can’t get out. I’ve tried goin’ back through to Warner Bros central, oi can’t do it. The portal we use physically won’t let me through. Oi t’ink Rhythm has put some kind of block on me. To stop me leaving so oi can’t find da others. It’s de only thing that makes sense. An’ I’ve tried different versions of me as well from all across the years. King me, jester me, classic me, new me. I even tried Ace Bunny, dat’s how desperate oi was! I can’t leave-”

“-What about Chungus?” Penelope asked. Seeing the weird looks Pepe and Bugs were giving her she explained. “It sounds like Rhythm has put some sort of block on YOU. But...Big Chungus...he isn't technically a version of you, is he? He started out as a meme taken from when you were shape-shifting”

“He’s in ‘World of Mayhem.” Bugs said, doubtfully.

“Which is a game!” Penelope said, excitedly. “Not a tv show! Have you tried it? No? Well, give it a go!”

Feeling excited for the first time in 5 and a half months Bugs took a breath and started to shape himself into the monstrosity that was Big Chungus. When he had finished he smiled, leapt onto the mast and - donning a pirate hat and sword - yelled. “Full steam ahead! Warner Bros Central here we come!”

As the exit - aka the portal - that led to Warner Bros Central loomed over him Bugs felt nervous. ‘Please work, please work, please work-” He chanted under his breath. 

Then with a flash of blinding light, they went through.

Across The Serververse, Chapter 14

Marvin’s spaceship was already fired up and ready to go by the time Bugs got there. Eyes widening he flung himself at the door just as it was closing and managed to get into the spaceship in the nick of time. Gasping, the rabbit lay on the floor and got his breath back for a few moments before glaring up at Marvin and hissing. “Really? Ya couldn’t have kept de door open a few more minutes?”

Marvin shrugged. “I said 12 hours.” He said, pedantically. “ Everyone else made it on time. Except Porky -but he's still with Daffy. He's not woken up yet - is it my fault you can’t follow instructions?”

Bugs gave one last glare and staggered to his feet. “’Ave we decided who we’re gettin’ next?”

“Yes.” Marvin lit the main screen up and zeroed in on two of the trackers. “After a LONG discussion - during which Tweety had a minor breakdown-”

“It wasn’t a bweakdown!” Tweety snapped. “I just pointed out the advantages of getting Gwanny and especiawwy Speedy back soonew wather than watew.”

Just behind Tweety, Wile.E held up a sign that said. ‘Pointed out the advantages at the top of his lungs and with voice shaking - yes.’

“Call it what you want - the fact is we are now heading towards ‘The Matrix’ Universe. Before you interrupted us we were just deciding who was going to go and get them.”

Bugs frowned. “Tweety, surely? He’s the closest to Granny.”

“I am hewe, ya know.” The canary said, hotly. “And yes, I am going. I just need someone to come with me. Thewe’s no point us aww going, the Matwix is dangewous so Mawvin says he needs as many toons defending the ship as possible. I’ww be fine, I just need one toon to come with me.” Tweety sighed and added. “Nowmawwy it’s be Swy, but he’s not hewe-”

“I’ll go.” Bugs said immediately.

“Weawwy?”

“Whaddya mean ‘really?’ - Not only am I yer older brother, I’m the main character, of course I’m coming wiv ya. Anyway, it shouldn’t be to hard. Our teleporting will work there, won’t it?” He directed the last question at Wile.E, who nodded in response.

“Oh yes. Despite the fact that The Matrix has it’s own physical laws that physics can be bent if you know your way around it and the Matrix’s powers doesn’t cover powers from other planets. If Hermione went there - for example - she’d be able to use her magic. Ditto for the likes of Superman and Wonderwomen. Batman might have more issue because he runs more on gadgets but his physical prowess wouldn’t be affected-”

“But our teleporting will be alright?” Bugs interrupted, keen to get back on task. “And our anvils?”

Wile.E considered. “Teleporting’s definitely alright. Anvils may have to enter ‘bullet time.’ I’d try and avoid gags if I were you.” He advised. “Stick to flying and running - it’ll be easier. And I’d stay away from burrowing.” He added. “I know in theory you can burrow through any surface, but the Matrix may not be the best place to put that theory to the test.”

Bugs nodded. “Got it. Now-” He grinned at Tweety. “-We need to be properly attired.”

Reading his brothers mind Tweety and Bugs spun around creating a dust cloud and when the cloud disappeared they were each wearing a long leather coat that came down to Bugs’s knees and Tweety’s feet respectively.  

The two of them looked at each other and fist-bumped. “Now-” Bugs carefully placed a pair of shades over his eyes. “-Les go get ‘em.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[About an hour and a half later in the land of ‘The Matrix’]

“Be careful.” Marvin warned, as he opened the door. “I believe they’re in a building a few miles away. Teleporting may be the best option.”

With a sharp nod to show he’d understood Bugs grabbed Tweety and teleported to where Granny and Speedy should be.

“We need to remember we can do this.” Bugs yelled in Tweety’s ear, as they travelled. “It’ll come in useful later on in de fic.”

The instance they landed Bugs let Tweety go and struck a pose, expecting to be attacked by goodness knows what at any moment. Nothing happened and Bugs paused and lifted his glasses up to see Granny and Speedy looking at him like he was mental. Which to be fair - as Bugs stood in an empty room wearing a trench coat having just been swiping at nothing - he could see why. “Eh...what’s up, Family?”

“Tweety!” Granny exclaimed, as soon as she saw the yellow canary. “Oh, my Tweety! I’ve been SO worried!” She hurried over and hugged him.

Bugs took a step backwards to give them some space and smiled. A cloud of dust alerted him to the fact Speedy was standing at his elbow. “Hola, Sr Bugs! It is good to see you considering we thought you were dead!”

“Yeah, a lot of people have said dat...” Bugs began.

At that precise second a lot of explosions and general violence started and seemed to be heading towards them at a very alarming pace. Speedy yelled something in Spanish that Bugs assumed meant ‘We’re all going to die! Quick - back to the ship!” And sped of.

Tweety teleported himself and Granny back to the ship and Bugs quickly followed them, not wanting to deal with the ax-crazy matrix people any time soon.

He felt slightly dizzy when he got back to the spaceship, but this quickly faded and he was pleased to see Granny and Speedy being welcomed back by everyone with hugs and laughter.

Marvin was the only one not to join in the celebrations - focusing on getting the ship away from the chaos instead - and Bugs leaned into the wall as the ship accelerated off. 

“Welcome back, Siblings!” Marvin called, over the sound of the engine. “Apologies I can’t hug you, but rest assured I am pleased to see you. Would you like to go back home or are you alright with staying onboard while we pick up Gossamer and Hazel?”

After a brief discussion Granny and Speedy said they were alright for now.

“In that case then...” Marvin said, as he zeroed in on Hazel’s and Gossamer’s trackers. “...We’re off to see the wizard-”

“-The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz!” The others chanted and they all sang the song as the spaceship whizzed through the serververse.

Across The Serververse, Part 19

Thank you to everyone who’s still sticking with this tory, it means a lot! Anyway, I do not own Space Jam 2 - or 1 - or the Looney Tunes. I just enjoy making stuff up about them.

Anyway, let’s crack on!

The other three were sensible enough to shut up and keep quiet as the footsteps got closer towards them.

Bugs stood slowly and looked around for something to use should this turn out to be a threat. Marvin also stood and pointed his ray at the bookcase. Porky did his best to look threatening while Daffy tried to sneak away. Porky grabbed the duck’s arm and shook it in warning.

Eyes trained on the door, Bugs widened his stance and turned his body-language to ‘threatening’ -

- And Superman walked out into the small room where the bookcase was stowed. He raised an eyebrow in amusement as he took in the four toons - in particular Bugs’s - costumes.

Bugs looked down at himself - still wearing the super rabbit outfit - and laughed sheepishly. “Eh...affectionate parody?”

Superman nodded - unable to stop smiling - and asked if there were here to see Lola.

“Hold on, Busther!” Daffy said, before anyone could stop him. “How’d you know we wanted Lola?”

Superman regarded them again and said, with remarkable self-control. “I took an educated guess. That and we’ve been watching your movements on our security camera’s.”

So that was why no one had approached them, Bugs realised. He should’ve guessed.

“So, just to get us all back on track.” The crisp, proper voice of Marvin brought Bugs back into the real world. “You do know where Lola is? She’s safe?”

“Perfectly.” Superman said. “Follow me, I’ll show you were she is.”

Now, unfortunately due to it being top secret the author can’t describe the route, but it took them about ten minutes to get from bookcase to the hallway leading to the training room where Lola apparently was. 

Bugs was still on his guard and one obvious thing caused him unease. “Eh...Doc - eh- Mr Superman?” He asked, hesitantly. 

“Yes, Bugs?”

“If dis is a trainin’ room yer takin’ us to...den why can’t oi hear any noise? Like punches and ‘hah!’ and dat kind of t’ing?”

Superman smiled. “We did start of with it not being sound-proof but soon discovered that was very annoying. We tend to train for a few hours at a time you see and if you’ve got a meeting upstairs, again as we frequently do, it gets irritating. So we sound-proofed it about forty years ago. Anyway-” By this time they’d arrived at the door. Superman signalled to the toons to stay quiet and knocked the door.

It took a few moments but the door was opened by none other than Wonderwomen herself, who smiled down at the toons [Just more than double their height!] and introduced herself before letting them in.

A squeal pierced Bugs’s ears and he found himself enveloped in a hug and a hit by a smell off sickly-sweet perfume mixed with sweat.

“Bugsey!” Lola’s voice nearly deafened him. “Oh, I knew you’d all come!”

The amused glances Superman and Wonderwomen gave each other told Bugs that that probably wasn’t the case, but not wanting to push it he gently pushed Lola away and asked if she was alright.

“Oh, fine!” His sister said, hyperactively, as she hugged the others. “Well, you know. Training. Hard work. And I almost died a few times but-!” She laughed a high, unnatural laugh. “-Wha’ can ya do?”

Porky and Marvin shared a concerned look, and even Daffy sounded cautious as he asked. “Almosth died?”

“Yeah!” Lola bounced up and down a bit, explaining as she did. “I’ve been chosen to be trained by Wonderwomen to be a Amazon! Isn’t that right, Diane?” She asked the superhero, who nodded and affirmed.

“Miss Bunny has shown remarkable ability, especially for her young age. She’s also got a good heart, which is crucial. In time she’ll make a brilliant Amazon.”

Bugs bit his lip and asked. “Eh...an’ how long will dis take...?”

Lola stopped bouncing and glared. “Oh, ‘well done, Lola’! Congrats on becoming an Amazon, Lola! You’ve done great, Lola! Oh - no problem, Bugs! It was nothing!”

Bugs had the good grace to look ashamed and fumbled as he tried to explain. “Y-yes, well done Lola, but ya see dere is a point ta dis we’ve only got about a week or so to save the earth!”

Lola grinned and dramatically put her hand to her forehead. “Flash!” She swooned, voice going higher-pitched than normal. “I love you! But we only have 14 hours to save the earth!”

Even despite the strained circumstances Bugs couldn’t help laughing. “No, but seriously, Lols -” And he explained the plot up to this exact moment.

Lola went from clearly not taking him seriously to a look of doubt, ending up as full on worry. “And you thought you’d leave this ‘till halfway through the chapter!? The hell is wrong with you! You should’ve started with that! I’m sorry, Diane-” She danced up to the Princess and looked up at her imploringly. “-I really want this, but I can’t abandon my family. I hope you understand.”

Diana nodded and smiled. Then she got down and one knee so she was eye-level with the young rabbit.

A pause then Daffy hissed. “Is she going to propose?” To Porky, who elbowed him none-to-gently.

Diane gave the duck a sideward look, then composed herself and said. “Lola. You take all the time you need. Family is more important than anything. Rest assured that whenever you feel ready to come back we will pick up training where you left off.”

Lola blinked and said, in genuine surprise. “You’re not annoyed?”

“Who could be annoyed with a decision like that? If anything it proves to me even further that you will be a great Amazon.”

Lola smiled and threw her arms round Diane, who hugged her back.

Bugs, Marvin, Porky and Daffy all sniffed loudly and dabbed at there eyes with over-sized hankies. 

“Oh...it’s just like a Disney movie.” Bugs commented. There was a beat, then Bugs added. “Quick, before their lawyers get us.” They threw the hankies over their shoulders and carried on as if nothing had happened. 

“Right...” Lola bounced over to them and beamed. “Let’s go stop Rhythm!” and she dashed out the door.

“H-h-hold on!” Porky shot after her and called. “W-w-we’ve not got Elmer yet! Lola!”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Back on the ship]

"So- to sum it up, Hazel's in hospital having potentially been controlled by Rhythm - we're not sure - you -" Here she pointed at Bugs. "-Have to change into your Big Chungus form to go in and out of planets and the only one we have yet to get is Elmer?"

The other toons looked at each other and made noises of agreements. 

A beat, then Lola nodded. “Seems simple enough. Let’s go!”

Marvin duly flared the ship up and they headed off to find Elmer.

Across The Serververse, Chapter 11

Porky was pacing up and down, arms folded a cloud of worry above his head. A few foot away from him Foghorn and Barnyawd were trying to sound ‘encouraging’.

“Don’t, I say, don’t you worry Porky, mah boy!” Foghorn said, cheerfully. “They’ll be comin’ back any minute now!”

Porky screwed his eyes up and looked up to the sky again. “Y-you’ve b-b-been s-s-saying that for the last - for the last - the las - ages.”

The next scene opened up on Daffy and Porky leaving the hospital.

“You know where we’re going wrong, Porkster?” Daffy asked, musingly.

“T-t-the entire scheme?” Porky said, teasingly.

Ignoring him Daffy carried on. “We’re starting to small. We need to set up something grand, something...awsome...” With that declaration he rubbed his hands together and strode off.

Porky watched him go then looked up to the heavens and said. “S-s-somehow I don’t like the s-s-sound of that. Daffy! Wait up!” And he went running after him.

“Porky!” Petunia trilled as she hurried over to Porky and kissed him softly on the cheek. “Any sign?” She asked, sympathetically.

To which her husband made a sort of ‘hah!’ noise and indicated the empty sky.

Petunia then went about trying to convince Porky to put his guard down and come back to the house, even going so far as to assure him that both Foghorn and Barnyawd would be on watch for them [despite not actually asking them if they would be.] 

With one last look at the sky, the older pig sighed. “I-I-i suppose you’re r-ri- correct.” He linked arms with his wife, then looked back anxiously at Barnyward and Foghorn. “Y-y-you’ll tell us if they come b-b-back?”

“Nah, we’ll leave it a few months. Let ya worry a lil’ more” Barnyawd said, sarcastically. “Of coirse we will! Now go!”

Porky and Petunia started to walk off, arm in arm, talking quietly to each other when suddenly Foghorn yelled. 

“Incoming, I say, incoming! Watch out! Marvin’s crash-landing again!” 

Porky and Petunia immediately turned back and looked up. Contrary to Foggie’s dramatic statement, Marvin wasn’t crashing his spaceship but managing to land the ship gracefully a few feet away.

The doors opened, a lot of smoke curled out of ship and Porky could see the silhouette of his family beyond it. He thought his chest was going to explode as a rush of happiness overtook him and he ran into the ship, trying to say. “Oh my-! I can’t believe you’re all back! Amazing!” and instead just managing to do his normal stuttering act. 

Much hugging and exclamations later and Porky looked around the ship once more and asked, in concern. “W-wh-where’s everyone else?”

Porky, Petunia, Foghorn and Barnyawd were duly brought up to speed about everyone else’s locations and, at the end of the explanation, Bugs asked. “Eh...where’s Daf, Porkster?”

Porky sighed and looked at Petunia who made a ‘go on, it’ll be fine’ gesture.

After much stuttering and a few false starts the older toon managed to explain that Daffy was lying down having been given a sleeping tablet by Doctor Scratchensniff. “We-we’ve had s-so-something of an adventure.” Porky added, almost apologetically. “I-i know!” He brightened up. “I’ll explain via fl-flas-oh, just watch.”

And with that the his siblings - and Petunia - pulled up chairs and started to watch the flashbacks.  

*5 and a half months ago*

The flashback opened up on an image of Porky and Daffy screaming as they fell through the air towards a map with the words ‘D.C. World’ written on it.

The two toons smashed into the ground in a puff of dust and earth. There was a worrying gap then Daffy leapt out of the crater the two of them had just created with a ‘Hi-yah!’ and a kung-fu pose. “Alright Rhythm!” He yelled, eyes pinpricks and brow furrowed. “I’m giving you one chance to give yourselth up or I’ll be forced to go Duck Dodgers on ya! And I did two years of training for that role!”

There was a silence then, when it became clear Rhythm was nowhere to be found, Daffy dropped the pose and looked around for any of his siblings. He found Porky at the bottom of said crater and pulled him out by his tail while bemoaning that Porky’s life had been ‘Tragically cut short! He wasth young! Stho young!” * Beat* “Okay, so technically he was in his late 80′sth. But STHILL-!”

“D-daffy-”

The duck gasped and clasped a hand to his heart. “I can hear him! Oh, Porky...” His eyes welled with tears. “...You’ll always have a place in my heart-”

“D-d-daffy, I’m not dead.” Porky said, in annoyance from the ducks arms. 

Daffy blinked and leaned forward. “You sure about that, Chum? You look peaky-”

“I-i-is it any wonder!?” Porky snapped, pushing Daffy away and standing up. Dusting himself down the pig rattled through the list of things they had to do, namely see if any of the others were there and find out where they were.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*A short while after that*

The next scene opened on Porky and Daffy walking down the street. The duck was noticeably subdued and was speaking in quite a serious manner. “Stho just me and you then, huh pal?” He said, thoughtfully. “Not even Bugsth hasth made it here? Hhmm. I don’t like it. C’mon! We need to try and get back.” Daffy screwed his face up as he racked his brains. “Can you remember where D.C. Worlds portal is?”

“Eh...” Bugs cut in as the rabbits brain leapt ahead about five steps. “Can I just stop you there, Doc? Oi bet oi can guess what happened next. Ya got ta the portal an’ it wouldn’t work?”

Porky glared and folded his arms. “I-i-if you know so much about it why d-d-don’t YOU tell the story then, Einstein?”

Bugs held his hands up and allowed Porky to continue.

The pig cleared his throat and began. “Yes, y-you’re right. The P-p-por - the thing wouldn’t work. And that was when D-d-daffy got his ‘great’ idea...”

*Daffy’s great idea*

“We’ll be superheros!” Daffy said, grabbing Porky by the shoulders. “And by ‘we’ I mean I’LL be a superhero and YOU’LL be my trusty sidekick! You can be...” Daffy thought for a moment. “...Pig Boy!” He declared after a moments consideration. 

“O-o-or I could just be E-e-eager Young Space Cadet?”

Daffy gave his friend a ‘look’. “Eh - copyright, Porkster?”

“W-w-we’re owned by the same company!”

“And? That doesn’t make any difference! Jus’ ask Mickey! ‘Mickey MELON’ my assth...now - with me!”

*One quick scene change later*

[Daffy is in a boutiques. He pulls aside the curtain to reveal he is dressed in his superhero outfit from the movie - which the author has forgotten what it looked like, so can’t give a description] “Behold! Duck Awesome” Leaning up close to the 4th wall, Daffy whispered. “It’s like Duck Dodgers, but not copywrited. Loophole abuse, you might sthay. Anyway - back to the plot...” Daffy cleared his throat and yelled. “An’ here isth my trusthy sidekick - the notorious P.I.G!”

Another set of curtains opened to reveal Porky dressed in a outfit similar to Robin. With a glance at the 4th wall he said, flatly. “I-it was the only way to get the re-ref-reference in.”

“Now my sidekick!” Daffy grinned and rubbed his hands together. “Lesth solve some crimes!” And he bounded off.

“I-i think you’re g-g-getting yourself confused with She-Sherlock Holmes.” Porky said snarkliy, before paying for the costumes and running after his troublesome younger brother. 

What followed was a montage of Daffy trying [and failing] to perform heroic tasks. In order these were:

1. Rescuing a kitten from a tree. [The kitten waited till it had been removed from the tree before attacking Daffy in a flurry of fur and nails. Porky then removed the kitten from where it was hanging off of Daffy’s beak and handed it to the grateful owner.]

2. Helping a little old lady cross the road. [Daffy picked her up and carried her while Porky stopped the traffic. She spent the short journey hitting the duck on the head with her handbag.]

3. Trying to stop a car crash. [Daffy stood between the two cars and put his arms out. He ended up squashed between the two of them making him a very interesting shape. Porky then transported Daffy and the two drivers to a nearby hospital.]

The next scene opened up on Daffy and Porky leaving the hospital.

“You know where we’re going wrong, Porkster?” Daffy asked, musingly. 

“T-t-the entire scheme?” Porky said, teasingly.

Ignoring him Daffy carried on. “We’re starting to small. We need to set up something grand, something...awesome...” With that declaration he rubbed his hands together and strode off. 

Porky watched him go then looked up to the heavens and said. “S-s-somehow I don’t like the s-s-sound of that. Daffy! Wait up!” And he went running after him.

Across The Serververse, Chapter 29

"I suppose he could come with us..." Marvin said, not sounding entirely convinced. "I'm not sure where he'd live though because there's no way we could ever convince the executives that they'd designed him-"

Pete cut him of with a flurry of beaps.

Wile.E started translating. "He says that now Rhythm's presumably not with us anymore someone has got to run the Serververse. He's saying he's watched Rhythm long enough to know how it should be done - including before he went a bit crazy."

"Is anyone actually going to tell us exactly what happened to Rhythm?" Lola asked, throwing her hands in the air. "I mean is he going to come back or-"

"Oh, oh, pick me, pick me! I sthaw him!" Daffy said, hyperactivity while doing a cartwheel.

Lola rolled her eyes. "Daffy."

"He broke of into pixels and disappeared. You know, like when Bugs blew Elmer away at the end of 'Back In Action'-"

"Esa fue una película horrible...*" Speedy muttered under his breath.

"It wasth a great film!" Daffy snapped. "We were just under-utiisthed! Anyway - that'sth basically what happened to Rhythm, he became pixilated and disappeared_"

Everyone shuddered.

"He wasth evil, get over it! I'm bored - Bugsth, take over." And with that Daffy flounced of towards Porky.

Rolling his eyes affectionately, Bugs said. "So all we've got to do is decide how to get home-"

Pete beaped again and, once again, Wile.E translated. "He's suggesting we use the portals." There was a beat then all the toons did a double-take.

"There's portals here!?" Yosemite Sam whooped and did a little dance. "Then what are we a-waitin' for? Let's go!"

The portal was actually relatively simple to find, being just down the corridor and shielded by an invisible door. Pete got the door open though and presented the pink, swirling vortex to the other tunes who all looked at it nervously.

Marvin took a step back. "Normally I would have no issue with going through the portal, however someone's got to get the ship back..."

Bugs heard murmurs of agreement and looked round to see that none of his siblings were looking very thrilled at the idea of throwing themselves into a portal that had recently been deactivated. Smiling slightly he stood up. "Sure t'ing, Marvin. Anyone want to go with him?" Everyone's (except Daffy, Porky's and Lola's hands) went up.

Bugs laughed. "A'ight, ya lot go wiv Marvin, and me and de oithers will go through de portal."

With audible sighs of relief and a couple of thank you's the rest of Bugs's family headed off to Marvin's ship.

Bugs waited till they'd gone before turning to the rest of his siblings. "So? Who's going first?"

"Me firsth, me firsth!" Daffy pushed Lola out the way and threw himself into the portal with a 'woo-wop!'

"Hey!" Lola charged after him. "No fair!" And she disappeared into the swirling vortex as well.

Porky and Bugs looked at each other.

"After you?" Bugs asked, indicating the portal.

"N-n-no, I insist after y-y-you."

Bugs sighed and thought a moment. "...Together?" He held his hand out.

Always one for a gag, Porky quickly donned a wedding dress and a veil and blushed lightly. "W-w-why, I thought you'd n-n-never ask."

The rabbit rolled his eyes, fighting the urge to laugh hysterically. It wasn't even that funny a gag. The stress must be gettin' to him.

Together they held hands and jumped through the portal.

*That was a horrible film...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[In Warner Brothers Central, Subsection Toontown]

"I thought, I say, I thought we weren't comin' back again, boy." Foghorn said, as he and Dawg stood either side of the [now working] portal into Toon Town.

"De author needed some way to work everyone coming back, Foggy." Dawg sighed.

Foghorn threw his arms out. "You're ruinin' the plot, Dawg!"

"Oh come on!" Dawg walked towards Foggy, pointing at him agressivly. "If the readers have got this far they must be putting two and two together by now! They ain't idiots!"

"I, I say, I never said they were." Foghorn blustered, marching up to the dog so they were beak-to-muzzle. "I'm just saying there needs to be some surprise left."

"But it's obvious that-" Dawg stopped and lifted his ear.

Foghorn frowned, recognising the gesture. "What you hearin', Dawg-"

His twin threw himself at the rooster - sending him flying to the floor - which was a good thing as exactly two seconds later Daffy came sailing out the portal, face-planting into a building that was stupidly placed opposite said portal.

"Hey!" A random shop-owner came out, brandishing a spoon. "Get of my property!"

Daffy pealed his face off the building and said, proudly. "With pleasure..." Before falling off onto the floor.

As Daffy fell to the floor, Lola came shooting out the portal, heading straight for the building as well. Having willingly done months and months of training, however [and having been in good shape before doing the training] she managed to backflip of the building and land on her feet. Flipping her ears/hair back she helped Daffy up and enthusiastically noogied him.

Back by the portal an irritated Foghorn complained. "Get of me, Dawg! Your, I say, your knee's digging into my here ribcage!"

"Sorry, Foggy." Dawg said, not budging an inch.

Cue Bugs and Porky shooting out the portal as well. They smacked into the building and slid down comically slowly.

There was a beat, then Foghorn asked. "Is it clear now, Dawg!?"

Dawg paused for a second while he listened out for anyone else, then nodded. "It's clear." And got up, extending a hand for Foghorn as well.

Back on the floor Bugs was helping Porky up, with a: "Eh...well, at least we know the portals work, right Doc?"

Porky nodded, trying to get his breath back.

"Porky!" The pig in question looked up like he was imitating a meerkat, his face splitting into a huge grin when he saw Petunia running towards him.

"Petunia!" Porky ran towards his wife and romantic music started playing as the two toons went into 'slow-motion' mode for maximum effect and Porky picked his wife up and spun her around while looking lovingly into her eyes.

The rest of the toons all went 'ah' and smiled happily at each other.

"Wait!" Dawg called, rather ruining the moment. "I can hear something! Like a rumbling?"

Bugs frowned, temporarily confused and then his face cleared. "The ship!" All the toons looked up and, sure enough, Marvin's ship was just coming into view.

Bugs, Daffy, Porky and Petunia instantly donned some hi-vis vests and started getting the other toons to move in order to clear some space for the ship to land.

Marvin managed to land the ship safely. He opened the doors and the rest of the toons flooded out, excitedly hugging loved ones [Sly and Junior headed straight to Sylvia for example, the Warner Sibs to Doctor Scratchensniff ext] and the entire thing was general chaos.

Amongst the chaos, Daffy grabbed Bugs's elbow and yelled into his ear. "Hey, Bugsth! How are we finishing the fic?"

"A party sounds pretty good!" Bugs said, happily.

"I'll get the streamersth!" And with that Daffy zipped off into the crowd.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bugs had such a feeling of pride in his chest as he looked round at his family. His family - together at last. Within his immediate sight he could see Porky and Petunia laughing as they sipped milkshakes together, Porky bringing his wife up to speed with his life in D.C. World.

Just further up the table Dot was sitting on Doctor Scrachensniff's lap looking adorable as she tucked into a big plate of ice cream. Wakko was next to her, standing on a chair tucking into his own massive [like five scoops massive] plate of ice cream. There was no sign of Yakko, until another toon put a silver covered dish in front of Hello Nurse. She took the lid of to reveal Yakko smiling at her. "Eh...share an ice-cream with me, Nurse?" He asked, batting his eye-lids.

Rolling her eyes affectionally, Nurse pushed the plate away from her and it [with Yakko still on] slid all the way down the table into the distance.

"Hey!" Barnyawd barked, lifting his plate up so Yakko didn't crash straight into it. "Watch it!"

Laughing again, Bugs starting tucking into his carrot cake.

"Hey, Bugsth." The rabbit nearly choked, not expecting Daffy to creep up behind him.

"Sorry." Daffy said, not sounding it in the slightest. "Listhen, have you got any spare food? I'm taking Elmer up a food parcel." Due to his recent ordeal Elmer had been whisked away to hospital for a check up. All being well he'd be out again by tomorrow, but it meant he would miss the feast.

"Eh..." Bugs cut a slice of his cake and quickly wrapped it up. "...soire. Giv' 'im dis."

"Thanksth. Hey...erm, do you think we should mention thisth to the humans?"

Bugs laughed - a sharper laugh than before - and shook his head. "You are kiddin' ain't ya? Tellin' 'em the A.I. they made gained intelligence? Dere'd be horrified. Also, knowing our lot they'd make it into a film and we've got enough on our plates filmin' de new cartoons - so short answer, no. We'll tell 'em it was a glitch or som'thin'"

Daffy nodded. "Sure thing, Busgthy. Anyway, I better take His Majesty his food. Catch you later." With Daffy skated off. [Literally, he had roller skates on]

Bugs quickly finished his food, then got up and banged his fist on the table. "Right, Oi t'ink dat's de fic finished. Roll credits!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Imagine this lot as photograph's going down a black screen]

Daffy smiling at the camera as Elmer tucks into some food and Daffy does 'rabbit ears' behind his head.

A shot of the Animaniacs jumping onto a shocked Doctor Sratchensniff's lap as Hello Nurse looks on in amusement.

Lola and the D.C. Superhero's striking heroic poses.

Petunia laughing and Porky looking annoyed as Daffy pops up in-between them.

Pepe and Penelope looking lovingly into each others eyes.

Sam and the other Wacky Racers[including Dasterdly] all standing in front of their cars and waving. They're each holding a Gold trophy from a time they previously won a race.

A mid-action shot of Porky hitting Daffy over the head with a mallet.

Marvin and Queen Tyr'ahnee talking animatly to one another.

Gossamer looking extremely confused at everything that's going on around him.

A mid-action shot of Petunia scolding Porky.

Just a blur as Taz spins down the long tables.

And finally Foghorn and Dawg smiling at the camera and both giving a thumbs up.

At this point Bugs turns round and - with a smile - waves his camera at the readers. "Elmer isn't the only photographer here!" He said happily. "Stay tuned for the bloopers!"

And with that the credits faded.

Across The Serververse, Part 17

Hazel stretched out in the throne chair that was much to big for her and snapped her fingers. “Goulash. Bring me more M&M’s.” She ordered. 

Goulash - who had learned long ago not to question his queens orders - duly trotted off. He took a while actually, Hazel realised, after nothing arrived for 15 minutes. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a magic-two way mirror, which she’d been gifted a few days after her gaining control of the castle, and snapped into it. “Goulash!” No answer. The green witch sighed heavily and pushed herself of the throne. “If you want something done properly you have to do it yourself.” She muttered as she stomped  of to find her second-in-command. 

She shoved her way past various guards on route to the kitchen. In said kitchen she demanded the head chef tell her where Goulash was. He reported that Goulash HAD come down here but then ran off when there was an ‘horrible noise’ coming from the direction of the dungeon.

Hazel’s eyes narrowed. The dungeon. She should have known. She turned on her heal and strode off determinedly. 

Meanwhile in the dungeon as soon as the other toons heard the clickidy-clack of high-heels coming down the stairs, Bugs signalled for the others to look as angelic as possible. 

Hazel arrived at the bottom of the stairs to see her fellow toons with literal halo’s round their heads. She frowned and took a step towards them.

Bugs suddenly yelled. “Now!”

Hazel jumped and looked round but couldn’t see anything because there was a hurricane of dust round her and all she could hear was “Arriba, arriba!” Disoriented, she stumbled a little and then there was a pain in her head and she fell to the floor.

The dust cleared and Speedy gave a thumbs up to Bugs. “Senor Bugs, we have managed it. Shall we see if she has the keys on her?”

Bugs nodded and Speedy, in turn, nodded at Tweety who carefully flew close to Hazel and removed the keys from where they were hooked on a belt round her waist. 

“Will she be alright?” Penelope asked, as Tweety freed them.

“She’ww be fine.” Tweety assured then.  “She was onwy hit with a hammew. Not wike it was an anviw.”

“Yes, but she wasn’t expecting it!” It was always easier for a toon to absorb the impact of being hit if they were expecting it.

There was a beat and then Tweety shrugged. “She’ww be fine.”

“Let’s get her back on the ship.” Marvin said, taking control once again. “Then Granny can check her over. Now, siblings, let’s remove ourselves from this wretched castle.”

The quickest and safest way of doing that was to teleport back onto the ship. Once on Marvin whipped up a make-shift med-bay and stood aside to let Granny and Tweety - the resident medics - take over. 

They looked Hazel over and prodded and poked at her a lot. “She’s unconscious.” Granny explained. “But she should regain consciousness in a little while. I’ll have to have another look at her then, but there’s no obvious injury. I think we should return home and she can go to the actual hospital.”

Marvin nodded. “Understood. I’ll turn the ship around. How much longer have we got, Bugs?”

Bugs checked his watch and did some quick calculations. “Just over 12 days.” He said, feeling confident. “And we’ve only got Lola and Elmer ta get. Dis should be a piece of cake!”

Penelope whisked a plate under his nose with two slices of cake on it. “Vanilla or Chocolate?” She asked, smiling.

Bugs rolled his eyes. “No dere’s a debate.” He took both and eat them, appreciatively. “Delicious! Now-” He gave a thumbs up to Marvin. “Les get dis thing goin’.”

“I don’t actually need your permission for that, Earth-Creature.” Marvin said, pointedly, as launched the ship. “Now I suggest you sit down and shut up.”

No one could ever say that Bugs Bunny couldn’t take a hint. He sat against the walls off the ship, closed his eyes and reminisced about the good times he’d had over the years with his family. Running from Elmer, annoying Daffy, getting advice from Porky, annoying Porky, meeting Lola...oh Lola...

[Back in 1993]

“Eh...what’s up Doctress?” Bugs said, smiling.

The new toon - who went by the name of Lola - looked at him suspiciously and folded her arms. “Who are you?” She demanded. 

Bugs smiled wider. Contrary to popular belief this hostile attitude wasn’t unusual in a newly created toon. The majority of them were confused and a bit disorientated at being essentially just brought to life, then handed over to older, more experienced toons to learn how toon life worked. Which is what he was tying to do with Lola now. 

He introduced himself with a bow and Lola scoffed. “Trust me to get the Mr-Big-Shot. C’mon then, I was told I have to go to Toontown and see my house?”

Bugs nodded and gestured towards the door. “Right this way, Doctress.”

“Don’t call me that.”

“How about ‘Doll’?”

She glared and stalked off.

It took a while, admittedly, but things had only gone up since then. As the main Rabbit Toon Bugs had been mentoring her in how to dig burrows, how to tunnel and how to avoid Fudd’s gunshot. Although he only did that when annoyed, as he tried to explain to Lola before she first met Fudd...

[A few weeks after Lola’s creation]

“Oh look, dere’s Elmer!” Bugs exclaimed, waving at his older brother. 

Lola nose twitched and she ‘hhmmed.’

Elmer waved back and headed over to them, Bugs gave Lola a sideward look. “Whaddous that ‘hhmm’ mean?”

“He is...nice? Isn’t he?” She said, doubtfully.

Bugs gave a laugh. “Okay, Doctress, I see where ya comin’ from but trust me, Elmer’s one of the nicer ones of us. Only Petunia, Speedy, Porky and a few others are nicer. Jus’ give him a chance, yeah? I keep tellin’ ya you’ve got ta get the difference between on-screen and off-screen-” Bugs snapped his mouth shut as Elmer got closer.

They all exchanged greeting, well. Him and Elmer exchanged greetings while Lola stood back and watched them like a hawk.

“I’ve been baking.” Elmer announced, out the blue. “With Petunia. Cupcakes.” He laughed and produced them from hammerspace. “Do you both want one?”

Bugs licked his lips and reached forwards.

Lola jerked as if Elmer had offered her raw onions or something and exclaimed, clearly without thinking. “No thanks!”

Elmer’s eyes narrowed and he abruptly took the box back. “If that’s how you feew about it.” He snapped and stalked off, nose high in the air.

Bugs waited until he had gone and gave Lola a light whack round the head. “De hell you playin’ at!? Do you WANT any friends!?”

Lola glared and punched him on the arm. “I can make my OWN friends without your help.” She declared.

Bugs rolled his eyes and facepalmed.

In fairness to her, Bugs reflected, after about six months she did settle down and start to be more friendly. She even made friends with Elmer during filming for ‘Space Jam’; it took 12+ hour filming days and a few breakdowns, but they got there.

Bugs sighed and buried his head in his hands. He wondered if they’d ever film again. He loved filming, had been doing it literally since the moment he was created. He got a buzz, a kick out of it. He couldn’t imagine NOT doing it, but if they didn’t get this sorted out...

“Hey Bugs!” He looked up to see Penelope standing there with a pack of cards.  “We’re trying to decide what to play. Do you have any ideas?”

Bugs smiled at her and hauled himself up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pete was lightly hitting himself on the head as he agonised over what to do now. He knew he should tell Rhythm that his plan was going completely and utterly wrong, but he also knew that Rhythm would first hit the roof and then maybe throw the roof at Pete himself, so he wasn't keen on telling his boss anything if he could help it.

Unfortunately the fates were against him as Rhythm chose that moment to knock on the door and ask, unusually brightly. “How’s it going, Pete?”

Pete looked up at him with watery eyes and indicated the screens, unable to speak.

Rhythm frowned and teleporting next to the blob, shoved him away from the monitors and accessed the situation. 

Pete waited, chewing on his tentacles as he waited for the verdict. It took ages to come, Rhythm just kept staring at the monitors like his life was collapsing in front of him. 

After about ten minutes Pete, concerned his boss may have frozen or something, gingerly reached out and lightly tapped his shoulder.

Rhythm hissed and slapped Pete’s tentacle away while bellowing “Get OFF me, you idiot! How has it got to this point!? Why didn’t you TELL me they’ve nearly succeeded!?”

Pete frantically apologised while Rhythm paced around the room doing a good impression of an angry buffalo. After a while he ran out of steam and, magicking up a chair from the wall, sat down and pouted.

Pete, already knowing he was in deep trouble, decided his best strategy was to just stay quiet. After a very tense twenty minutes Rhythm took a few deep breaths, steadied his thoughts, then announced, darkly. “Pete, I have the solution to your idiocy.”

Across The Serververse, Chapter 13

Bugs only managed a few hours sleep before he found himself wide awake again. This wasn’t unusual - Toons only needed about 4 hours sleep a night to function and a few ran on even less than that - but it was annoying. 

After trying and failing to get back to sleep Bugs decided a early-morning stroll was in order. He checked his watch and sighed. Still three hours till they were due to set off again. Maybe if he took the long way round...

The long way round took him via a familiar-looking water-tower. Bugs smiled up at it and decided to have a rest at the bottom. Seeing as it was the middle of the night he decided not to knock on the door and see how the Warner Siblings were but instead reminisce. 

Ah, those kids. Even though the had been created relatively recently [1990] they had settled into the Looney Tunes ‘family’ quite well. Annoyingly Bugs didn’t have that much time to spend with them, as he was always busy filming or dealing with an inter-family crisis, but he liked the kids and got on well with them.

He sighed and looked up at the tower. 

“Eh...what’s up Doc?”

Bugs gave a laugh and turned round to see Yakko Warner - the oldest of the three Warner Siblings - leaning against a fence and chewing a carrot.

“Eh...” Bugs indicated the carrot. “Oi’m takin’ it that’s a shout-out and not one of yer 5 a day?”

Yakko nodded and slung the carrot into his hammerspace. 

“...How’s the reboot going?” Bugs asked.

Yakko shrugged and a faint smile appeared on his face. “Alright. It seems harder this time around though.”

Bugs nodded, sympathetically. “It is a bit like dat. Especially if ya leave it jus’ over 20 years before startin’ it again. Oi remember when we started up again after de company signed us off for a bit.” He sighed and shrugged. “It wasn’t easy, les jus say dat. It’s gettin’ back into the swing of filming for hours, bein’ under the lights, learnin’ scrips...” Bugs trailed off as he remembered the general atmosphere of panic, apprehension and ‘Oh-My-Avery-This-Is-Harder-Than-I-Remember’. Not to mention the likes of Petunia, Elmer and even Foghorn panicking because they weren't sure if they could hack it. There had been quite a lot of tears the first few months...

A small cough brought Bugs’s attention back to Yakko who was looking at him with an air of ‘teenage insolence’.

“You’ll be fine.” Bugs reassured him. “An’ talk ta Doctor Scratchy if yer strugglin’. Don’t worry about botherin’ him - that is literally what the guys paid for.”

The young puppy-dog-kitten-thing moved his head in something that was between a nod and a shake of the head while folding his arms. “Yeah...we’ll see.” He murmured, then immediately brightened up. “Anyway, there is actually a reason I’m here apart from cameo purposes and that’s to give you this-” And with a flourish he presented a horn that was in the shape of a fish and what with it being painted red as well, Bugs put two and two together and asked.

“Are you literally giving me a red herring, Yakko?”

Yakko laughed and made a ‘yeah, so what?’ gesture. “Look, I’m not writing this script but all I need to do is give you that-” He pointed at the horn. “-And tell ya that if, for some reason, you get stuck or need help or something you can blow into that and me and my sibs will be there like a flash...” He snapped his fingers to emphasise. “...Should you need us to whack anyone over the head with a hammer or anvil.”

Bugs grinned. “Well...we’ll see how it goes.” He checked his watch again and did a double-take. “Fer Jones’s sake, I’m due on the ship now! Look-” He gave Yakko a quick hug and said, hurriedly. “-Thanks for the herring-horn-thing and Oi’ll catch ya around. Remember what I said about Doctor Scratchensniff!”

Across The Serververse, Part 28

Completely unaware of what was happening inside Rhythm’s headquarters, Marvin was reading a book and trying to relax. He wished he had K.9. with him, but unfortunately the author had forgotten to include him, so he wasn’t there.

Sighing, the Martian flicked another page. Just then there was a bright flash behind him and the Martian immediately jumped  up and pulled a laser-gun out of nowhere. He did a double-take as soon as he saw who it was and put the ray down. “Sylvester? I wasn’t expecting-”

Eyes wild the cat threw himself at the Martian and grabbed him by his shoulders. “You’ve got to get me inside Rhythm’s headquarters now!” He screeched, shaking his brother like a rag doll.

Marvin eyes narrowed and he stamped on Sylvester’s foot, causing the cat to leap backwards with a yowl. “You do not shake me-” Marvin began, before noticing his brother was shaking badly himself and biting his own nails down to nearly stumps. “Sylvester, what’s the matter?” 

Another flash and Ralph fell on top of Sylvester’s head.  “Sorry, Sly.” He said, quickly getting up. “Wasn’t concentrating. Marvin - can you get us in there?” He gestured to Rhythm’s headquarters.

“Will someone please explain to me-” Marvin began.

Another flash and Wakko and Dot appeared at the back of the spaceship. “Uncle Marvin-!” They began together.

The Martian fired his ray into the sky and stamped his foot. “Be quiet!” He shouted. The four toons quietened and Marvin took a breath. “That’s better, now will someone please explain to me what’s going on?”

All four started speaking at once, Marvin fired his ray again before pointing at Ralph. “Wolf. Speak.”

Ralph explained what had happened and how they’d looked at the script to figure out what to do next, ending with. “So we need you to break down that wall.”

Marvin smiled [Well, as close as he got to smiling] and cracked his knuckles. “That makes me very happy...”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Back inside Rhythm’s headquarters]

“I win, I win...” Rhythm murmured while pacing up and down. The lights were pretty much doing some sort of dance by this point, with the birdcages and glass box swingin even more wildly. Bugs flinched as the box came close to the ceiling. Fighting the anxiety rising in his throat he looked around, desperately searching for any sign of anything happening.

“Eh...Bugs? When’sth your grand plan that we don’t know about happening?” Daffy hissed.

Bugs swallowed and tried to get his voice to work.

Thankfully he didn’t have to provide an answer because there was an almighty crash and the left-side wall collapsed into pixels as Marvin’s spaceship came smashing into the room. At practically the speed of light the door to the ship opened and a black-and-white ball of fury came shooting out of it, heading straight for Rhythm.

To give the king credit Rhythm reacted quickly and held his hands up ,managing to freeze Sly literally in mid-air.

“Father!” Junior called out, in anguish. Tweety went to help, but was held back by Granny, who gently reminded him about the 6-foot rule. 

Rhythm grinned manically and started to laugh, but the laugh was cut of abruptly when he happened to look down and see a small puppy-dog creature looking up at him with wide eyes. 

“Hello.” Wakko said, tongue lolling and smiling, despite the circumstances. 

Rhythm scrunched his nose up.

“Hi!” The black man let out a surprisingly high-pitched scream and whipped around only to be faced with thin air. After a brief pause he looked down to see Dot smiling up at him.  “Why’s our brother in a cage?” She asked, sweetly.

Rhythm took a breath and stood upright. “It’s nothing personal Dot Warner - oh yes, I know your name - your brother is simply a pawn in a much larger game. I shall return him when the game is finished.” Eyes narrowing he aimed this last bit at Bugs. 

“Ooh - what game?” Wakko started jumping up and down. “Chess? It’s chess, isn't it? You should get Yakko down to help you with that, he’s pretty good at chess-”

Rhythm blinked and stepped backwards. “It’s not chess-”

“Obviously it’s tag.” Dot said, scornfully, folding her arms. 

“Thank you, it’s-” The king did a double-take and down in confusion at the Warner sister. “- Wh- why would it be tag? That makes no logical sense-”

“Tag, you’re it!” Dot darted forward and tagged the king on his arm. Her and Wakko immediately split in different directions and Rhythm spluttered.

"-What the - hey! Get back here! Oi!" He moved initially after Dot, then tried to switch to Wakko. He let out an frustrated groan and yelled at Bugs. "Stop them, you idiot!"

"S-s-sorry." Porky said, smirking. "We c-c-can't get wi-wi-with - anywhere near 6 foot of them, r-r-remember?"

On the other side of the room Yosemite Sam leaned into Lola, saying. “I-ah don’t git it. Why can’t he just freeze them?”

Lola considered for a moment. “Maybe something to do with the fact he’s froze Sly? I dunno. Ask the author.” She quickly dodged out the way as Wakko came charging past her with Rhythm just behind him practically breathing fire.

“Get back here you little -!”

“Ah-ah!” Dot suddenly appeared on Rhythm’s shoulder and covered his mouth. “Not in front of the kiddies!”

With a roar of frustration Rhythm tried to grab her but she disappeared with a flash, appearing next to Wakko. The two of them pulled faces at Rhythm and danced up and down erratically. He snarled and tried to grab them again.  

“Hey!” Out of nowhere Yakko barrelled into Rhythm’s side, sending him flying to the floor. “Leave my sibs alone!”

“What the-?” Looking up Rhythm’s  eyes went wide. “How!?”

Smirking Yakko jerked his thumb over his shoulder and Rhythm looked to where he was pointing. 

Ralph and Sam [sheepdog] were standing on the box Elmer was in back to back arms folded and both looking smug. Making eye contact with Rhythm Ralph pointed across the room. Face strangely expressionless, Rhythm turned to see Junior standing in front of Granny. 

Granny smiled gently and patted the top of Junior’s head reassuringly. 

Eyes wild, Rhythm staggered to his feet and let out a ear-splitting shriek. The lights first went insanely bright- then completely black - all the toons started screaming and then there was a almost animal-like screech.

“De lights! Someone get de lights!” Bugs yelled, struggling to be heard above all the racket. 

The lights came on almost as quickly as they’d gone off. All the toons turned to see Pete standing by a random fusebox, wrench in hand. He smiled and beeped.

“...He said he’s fixed it.” Wile.E said, somewhat unnecessarily. 

His siblings all gave him a look and the coyote shrugged.

Bugs shook his head, eyes scanning the room. He smiled when he saw Sylvester spinning Junior around joyfully.

"But Father, where has Rhythm gone?" Junior was asking.

Bugs frowned and turned to survey the room. Sure enough, no sign of Rhythm anywhere.

"Sufferin' succatash, I don't know! He'd already disappeared when I tried to jump on him."

Just then there was a bang and both Sam and Ralph jumped about a smile in the air and clutched each other. Elmer had woken up and was now banging on the glass frantically.

“Fuddsthey!” Daffy ran over and dropped to his knees.  “Oh Fuddsthey, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal, speak to me!” To which Elmer’s response was simply to bang harder.

“N-n-now there’s g-g-got to be a way to get-to get - to remove him from this...” Porky joined Daffy and ran his hands along the edges of the box.  

“Would a mallet work?” Lola asked, rummaging in her hammerspace. 

“C-c-could give it a go, but it’ll probably j-j-just bounce of the box-”

“How about a flame-thrower?” Ralph asked, wielding one in the air,

“A-a-are you mad!? Do you w-wa-want to b-b - scar him!?”

At this point Yakko faced the readers and said. “Eh...while we’re working this out how about we show you how we got everyone out? Sibs! Flashback time!”

Wakko and Dot brought over a projector and a screen and proceeded to press play.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[While Wakko and Dot were distracting Rhythm] 

“Now, siblings, I suggest we stand on each others shoulders-” Marvin started.

Penelope shook her head. “Sorry Marvin, we can’t get close enough. It’s up to you and Ralph.”

Eye twitching a little, Marvin froze. Ralph, on the other hand, instantly started rummaging through his hammerspace. “Got it!” He retrieved the helicopter blades from the previous chapter. “I’ll fly up there and pick the locks on the cages and you see if you can get that box down.”

“Ralph.” Wile.E beckoned to his younger brother. “Here, take this skeleton key. It may help.”

“Thanks, bro.” Ralph pocketed it, then attached the blades to himself using the sling before spinning them to get them to work. He started with the cage Junior was in, hovering directly opposite the locks while picking it. After a few seconds he’d managed it and swung the door open.

The young cat edged forward, looking more then slightly terrified.  “It’s alright.” Ralph said, softly, “Just put your arms around me and I’ll lift you down gently.”

With a gulp the young cat followed Ralph’s instructions and was indeed lifted down with no issue. Once down Junior immediately headed over to Granny. Ignoring the 6-foot rule she hugged him tightly, making soothing noises all the while.

By this point Ralph was now trying to pick the lock of Yakko’s cage. “C’mon, c’mon, hurry up will ya?” The younger toon hissed, foot tapping impatiently. “I’m needed in about two seconds.”

“I’m trying...” Ralph murmured. “Got ya!” He swung the cage open and Yakko instantly jumped down in order to join the fray. “Be careful!” The wolf yelled after him. Realising the younger toon wasn’t taking any notice, Ralph sighed before turning to help Sam. He did a double-take upon seeing the sheepdog was already out his cage. 

With a small smile, Sam waved a skeleton key at his friend. “Always be prepared, Ralph. Always be prepared.”

Both smiling the two of them leapt to the ground.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

While Ralph was cracking the birdcages, Marvin had managed to get himself on top of the glass box.  [Oh the beauty of toon physics] and was now figuring out exactly what needed to happen. Of course he had to cut the ropes, but he didn’t want the box to just crash to the floor. That would be dangerous.  

He yelled down to Daffy. “Daffy! Can I request your help in catching this box?” 

To which Daffy saluted and held his arms out. Marvin saw Pepe, Penelope and Yosemite Sam step forwards to help as well. 

Confident this would work Marvin shot the first rope opposite him. It broke and the box dropped a bit. Grabbing the nearest rope, Marvin steadied himself. When the box stopped swinging Marvin shot the next rope and the whole thing tipped forwards alarmingly. Realising there was now no easy way to do this, Marvin shot the third and then the fourth rope in quick succession and the whole thing dropped to the floor.

Between the four aforementioned toons they managed to catch the box without making a sound. At the exact same moment that this happened, Yakko threw himself at Rhythm and Ralph and Sam had exactly five seconds to jump on top of the box and look cool while the other four scurried back to their positions. 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dot turned off the projector. “Was that enough time?” She asked. The three of them turned to see Ralph carefully flame-throwering the box.

“Dere was nothing else we could use.” Bugs explained, seeing their confused looks.

“Got it!” Ralph said, triumphantly, stepping back and lifting his helmet. 

Sam and Ralph lifted the lid of the box and Elmer instantly sat up, gasping  horribly. 

“Breath, Elmer.” Granny said, soothingly. “There we go, that’s it...” She spent a few more seconds doing this and eventually the hunters breathing levelled out.

“I’m awwight.” He said, voice trembling. “Can we go home now? I’ve had enough of this pwot.”

“Sure  thing, Doc - we just need to decide what we’re doin’ with Pete.”

The blue blob beaped and clasped his tentacles together excitedly.

Across The Serververse, Part 27

“When we last left Bugs Bunny it was just as he was tasked with coming up with a challenge that’s going to send old Rhythm running from the hills.  We now await with baited breath to see what he comes up with, as the fate of all of our lives - not least Elmer Fudd’s - counts on him-”

“Yeah, alright Lola.” Bugs said, spinning round to face her. “Give it a rest, will ya?”

Lola - sitting behind a desk, clad in a news reporters outfit - sighed and dropped the microphone. “Just trying to lighten the mood.” She muttered.

“Yeah, well, give it another chapter or two, will ya?” Bugs muttered back. Now with the room nearly completely quiet Bugs closed his eyes and thought. After the events of the last chapter the rabbit now knew that it didn’t matter what he chose, Rhythm would find some way to twist it to suit himself.  So now Bugs had to find a way to twist everything back on the so-called ‘king of the serververse’ 

He smiled to himself. Shouldn’t be an issue really. He was a rabbit after all, they were known for being quick-thinkers. Just look at Rodger.

Just then a thought popped into his head and Bugs abruptly turned to looked at Rhythm. “Ya know.” He began. “Oi was just t’inkin’-”

“Oh, you’re capable of that, are you?” The king sneered.

“-How’d you know where we are? Dis whole t’ing obviously needs a lotta thought and planning and ya must know exactly where we are at all times.  Otherwise it doesn’t work. So? How’d you know?”

Rhythm blinked.  “That’s the challenge?” He asked, sceptically. “You want me to explain how I keep tabs on you?”

Bugs took a deep breath. "I didn't say dat, doc. Jus' humour me will ya?"

There was then a silence while Bugs waited to see which one would win. Rhythm's common sense or his ego. [...You all know the answer to that one don't you?]

"...Well, it couldn't hurt for you to revel in the work of a genius." Rhythm said, thoughtfully. He then smiled and clapped his hands together. One of the walls started moving - causing the toons to all leap into each others arms scooby-doo style - and a bunch of monitors came out the wall. Rhythm turned them on and each monitor showed a different area of the Warner Brother Serververse. 

“Wow.” Wile.E said, admiringly. 

His siblings all turned to look at him incredulously. The coyote shrugged and folded his arms. “What? It’s one of the most beautiful and high-tech things I’ve ever seen. So sue me.”

Shaking his head, Bugs turned his attention back to the screen and went to speak; however he was prevented by Daffy who popped up in front of him and exclaimed, hyperactively. “Stho! Thisth isth how you’ve been keeping tabs on us? Clever. Ooh look, Bugsthy!” He grabbed Bugs’s arm and shook him. “I can sthee our house from here!”

The younger toon opened his mouth to tell Daffy to shut his beak, then closed it as he caught sight of Sylvester and Junior running around outside their house. Bugs guessed Sly was trying to teach his son how to pounce if the elaborate dance the two seemed to be doing was anything to go by. 

Biting his lips Bugs looked round the other screens as a plan started forming in his mind. Every toon that worked for Warner Brothers was on this screen somewhere. Tom and Jerry were chasing each other, the Scooby-Doo gang were singing a song about solving mysteries and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang were either chilling with each other or dropping anvils on each other. 

After a few seconds a lightbulb came on over Bugs’s head and he smirked while rubbed his hands together like an evil genius. “Okay Rhythm, here’s de challenge. Oi’m goin’ ta name three toons that Oi want ya ta transport here on yer own. You can’t send Pete ta get em, ya can’t send/make any of us do it and ya can’t use de portals ta grab ‘em like ya did with Elmer-”

For the first time Rhythm looked surprised. “How did you-”

“We have sources.” Bugs said, abruptly. “Anyway, terms agreed?” The two of them shook on it. Bugs smiled and continued. “So, oi want you ta bring - one - Sylvester Junior. Two - Sam Sheepdog and finally three-” There was a dramatic pause during which the camera covering the room zoomed in Bugs’s face as he said. “Yakko Warner.”

His siblings all hissed and inhaled sharply. Granny broke formation to put a hand hesitantly on Bugs’s shoulder. “Do you really think that’s a good idea, dear-?”

Bugs shook her off and maintained eye contact with Rhythm. “Deal or no deal?”

Rhythm considered for a few seconds then nodded and cracked his knuckles. “Easy Peasy.” He murmured. “BUT - you guys can’t get within 6 foot of them, understand?”

Bugs nodded and Rhythm gave him a look before closing his eyes and concentrating. 

Now. What happened next is a bit hard to describe but I’m going to give it a  try. Rhythm went very quiet, so quiet in fact that the Tunes momentarily thought he’d managed to freeze himself or something, before suddenly a glow erupted from him, his eyes lit up in gold and he threw his hands out to the side. 

The glow then seemed to transfer to the screen and the Tunes all whipped round to see various depictions of chaos. Rhythm had somehow managed to focus on just three screens, the one with Sylvester and Junior, another with Sam and Ralph and the final one with the Warner Siblings. 

Bugs, with growing horror, was watching the one with the Sylvester’s, drama unfolding as Sly realised his son was no longer next to him and started looking frantically round for him. Foghorn and Barnyawd ran up to him and seemed to be agreeing to help him look [the sound wasn’t on, so educated guesswork was required]. The theory was confirmed when the three of them split up. 

While Bugs was watching Sylvester, Pepe and Penelope were looking at the screen with Ralph on it. Just a few minutes ago the wolf and sheepdog had been enjoying a leisurely lunch break, probably discussing sports or something like that. [The two of them could talk for hours about baseball and basketball].Now however Ralph had realised Sam was gone and was searching all round the tree the two of them had been leaning against to try and find him. Eventually in desperation he lifted up the tree and then the grass just for good measure. With a look of utter terror on his face, the wolf rummaged in his hammerspace and grabbed a helicopter blade. He attached it to himself using the sling, then spun the blades so he was lifted into the air. Armed with a pair of binoculars Ralph went of in search of his best friend. 

The final screen, being watched by Daffy and Porky and the majority of the other toons, was the Animaniacs. Now a few seconds ago, judging by the swimsuit, net and goggles clasped to his face, it was clear that Yakko had been trying to ‘persuade’ his siblings to take a bath. Now he’d gone and it was just Wakko and Dot hiding behind the sofa, whispering to each other. Now it had been a few minutes since Yakko had just disappeared and the two of them seemed to be realising that something was off. Hesitantly - clearly not sure if this was another tactic by there older brother or not - the two of them peaked above the couch and looked from left to right. After a few more seconds of whispered discussion the two of them stepped out from behind the couch and seemed to be calling for their older brother. When they got no reply the two of them looked at each other anxiously and Wakko signalled for Dot to get behind him. Picking up the net that had been left on the floor when Yakko got transported, Wakko started edging through the water tower cautiously.

A quick flash from behind them and the toons all screamed and leapt into each others arms again. They looked up to where the flash had come from and saw Yakko, Sam and Junior had been put into cages [picture birdcages, but bigger] with a cartoonishy big lock on  each one. 

Another flash of light and Rhythm stumbled to the ground, just manging to catch himself in time. He started to laugh manically while dragging himself back up, making eye contact with Bugs he pointed at him and exclaimed, hysterically, while the lights started flicking all around and the glass box and birdcages started swinging. “I-I win! Y-y-you hear that, rabbit!?  I brought everyone here! I WIN!”

Ignoring his family's glares and keeping his face neutral, Bugs waited, hoping that the next part of his plan would actually happen.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile back in Ralph’s, Sylvester and the Warner siblings respective worlds the same thing happened. 

[In the tower]

“He’s not here!” Dot exclaimed, grabbing the front of Wakko’s  shirt. “Wakko, we have to save him!”

Wakko nodded and gently dislodged his younger sisters hands from his shirt. Reaching into his hammerspace he pulled out the script of the Fanfiction and started flicking through it. After a few seconds a lightbulb went on above his head, he grabbed Dot’s hand and the two of them disappeared in a flash.

[In the field]

Realising Sam wasn’t here, Ralph pulled out his copy of the script and flicked through it. After a few minutes he clicked his fingers and disappeared in a flash.

[Outside Sylvester’s house]

“Where the xxxx is he!?” Sylvester spat, having literally turned his house, his garden and Foghorn’s barnyard upside down. 

“Have you checked the script?” Barnyawd said, not for the first time. 

 Stopping dead in his tracks, Sylvester grabbed the script out his hammerspace -  sending pages flying everywhere - and hurriedly tacked them back together again. After a few seconds a lightbulb came on above his head and he disappeared in a flash. 

Foghorn and Barnyawd looked at each other. “Is this our part over?” Barnywawd asked.

“I think it, I say, I think it is, Dawg.”

Dawg nodded and looked around. “Right. All that’s needed is for the author to close the chapter.”

Foghorn smirked and clicked his fingers. An anvil landed on Dawg's head. "How, I say, how was that?"

Dawg stuck his head out from under the anvil and murmured. "I hate you." Before the scene faded to black.

What was your inspiration behind Space Jam Across the Serververse?

Hey! Thanks for your ask - so, basically, I watched the film and I did like it, but I thought 'this would be a more interesting concept if...' and started thinking.

I then - as a bit of a joke - brought it up on another post about the movie and asked if I'd come up with a fanfiction idea. @ananicoleta and @preciouslittletoonette said I had and said I should write it and that's how the idea started.

If you mean inspiration as to the places the toons got sent to, I kept some of them the same [mainly the ones I found cool] but changed some of the others [such as Sylvester's] to Warner Brother properties I know about and feel confident writing.

Across The Serververse, Part 22

[6 months ago]

“Gomez.” Fester [from the original 60′s Addams family] walked into the living room. “Can you tell Morticia I’ve gone for a walk among the swamp, please? I feel a cold coming on and the air does wonders for my sinuses.”

Gomez, who was upside down for some reason, smiled and flipped himself onto his feet. “Will do, Fester!”

The scene then switched to Morticia coming in. “Gomez, darling, have you seen Uncle Fester?”

“He went to the swamp, Tish.”

“But that was several hours ago.”

A pause and then Gomez said. “So it was! We’d better go and find him.”

The scene switched again to Gomez and Morticia wandering through a swamp, shining a torch while calling Festers name.

“Morticia!” Gomez suddenly called, in delight. “I’ve found him!” and shined a torch on a bundle of rags.

The bundle of rags moved and a familiar bold head emerged, covering his eyes while complaining. “Tuwn that thing off! Whewe am I?”

Of course it was Elmer. He didn’t seem particularly distressed, which made sense when you knew that Elmer had a habit of sleepwalking and thus waking up in strange and unfamiliar places. This was routine for him at this point. The only difference was he was now wearing the same exact outfit as the original Uncle Fester 

“In the swamp.” Gomez replied cheerfully. “Lovely night isn’t it? Moonbathing?”

Elmers face took on a ‘what is this guy talking about’ look and proceeded to ask exactly that.

For the first time Gomez looked concerned and exchanged a glance with Morticia. 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The scene changed to Elmer walking in the Addams’ front door with: “I don’t know what’s happened to Fester all I know is that I’m not him! I mean look at me!” Elmer spun round to face Gomez and Morticia and indicated himself. “Do I woo-” He caught himself and paused with excellent comic timing. “-You know what. Don’t answer that. The point is I’m NOT him!”

“Maybe you need a lie-down, Uncle Fester.” Morticia suggested, gently.

“I AM NO-” Elmer caught himself and took a deep breath. Bugs was impressed, despite himself, clearly the anger management was working. “-Yeah. Good idea. Eh...” The human-toon rubbed his eye tiredly and asked. “Where’s Fester’s room?”

Another worried look between Gomez and Morticia. “Lurch will show you.” Morticia said, as Gomez rang the bell/gong.

The butler turned up and was swiftly taken aside by Gomez who whispered, confidentially. “Lurch, Fester seems to have developed amnesia.”

Lurch grunted something and Gomez looked back at Elmer and nodded. “And lost half his height, yes.” Lurch suggested something and Gomez shook his head. “No, not after last time. This time we’ll just see if he snaps out of it. In the meantime show him to his room and give him a tour of the house while you’re at it.”

The butler grunted his understanding and said, to Elmer. “Follow me.”

The human-toon’s eyebrows shot up and he automatically went to adjust his hat before realising it was no longer there and huffed in annoyance. He did follow Lurch however and the scene faded to black.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“And it got worse from there.” Gomez explained, cheerfully. “He didn’t like the food-”

“Mama’s yak stew.” Morticia clarified. Daffy - completely unsubtly - pulled a disgusted face and mimed throwing up. Bugs stamped on his foot. 

“-He didn’t like his room, so I flew in some decorators from New Orleans and yes...” Gomes trailed off and finally admitted. “It wasn’t great.”

Bugs nodded. “Elmer can be a bit...difficult.” He said, sympathetically. “But he means well.”

“When he’sth not shooting at usth.” Daffy said, dryly.

“Anyway, we better get going. We need to go to Rhythms headquarters and rescue Elmer before Rhythm does something awful to him.” Bugs said, forcing himself to be upbeat.  “Oi’m takin’ it Elmer/Fester was taken by a black man who’s accompanied by a blue blob?”

The Addams nodded. “It was a bit hard to tell. Basically what happened was one of the portals, that one-” He pointed at the left one. “Leapt into life and a giant hand - with the arm attached - shot out of one of those portals and grabbed Fester - er, Elmer - and took him into the portal.”

“It was like something out of a horror movie.” Morticia said, shuddering.

Bugs frowned. So...the question was did the portals work or didn’t they? He leaned towards not, as it sounded like the portals worked for Rhythm only, which made sense seeing as he controlled them all.

“Right gang.” He said, grabbing some random sunglasses out his hammerspace and putting them on. “Let’s do this.”
