Prologue

Dimensions: Another part of the galaxy that is a completely
alternate one to the original.  An example of that would be Earth. 
There have been many different dimensions surrounding it since the
beginning of time.  A completely parallel dimension would be that
of Jade.  A land were its ancestors had entirely given up on
technology to further that of magic, whereas Earth has done the
same with technology.  On Jade it's more of survival of the fittest. 
More gothic than that of Earth, the inhabitants have to kill to eat or
supply for their own well being, but in a more civilized manner. 
That's what's known on the Main Continent of Jade.  The more
unexplored areas are across the oceans where no ship is able to
cross, due to the inhabitants and/or the weather, and the constant
plasma storms which make teleporting impossible, but both ways
are still being worked on, on how to get across.  Other ships have
been able to travel across to the Unexplored East, and have settled
in there and started to populate.  Of course this was when some
people from Earth started to migrate over to Jade for colonization. 
The Unexplored was soon populated as the years went by, and
much information was sent over to the Main Continent, but today
are now considered as myths and fairy tales, even as one such
person is still considered one, Andreas Carn Galem.  A psychotic
man whose demon possession has kept him alive for 624 years.  He
has no emotion, no feeling of pain, and his 600 years of experience
have made him a very feared, but respected person.  When he turned
219 he learned that a supernatural being has placed that demon
inside of Galem to make him his Champion.  That same year the
Cosmic Circle had hand picked him out to search for the most powerful
artifact in their Universe.  To get this, he must find all fifty keys that
unlock the vault.  But others have learned about this, and have collected
keys of their own.  Galem's top competitor is a machine known as
Farchou, who has three of the keys in his possession,  Andreas has
32.  The Cosmic Circle has also given Andreas a ship to travel
between the dimensions to retrieve these keys.  If you are done
reading this, it means you have not gone blind like I did.

Chapter 1

	It has been two years since the last incident with the Acme
Zone had occurred.  Buster and Babs are still hoping that everything
has turned out okay, considering how bad the Chancellor was,
who had turned the Acme Zone into a wasteland, and the Empress,
who was just about as cruel as he was.  

Buster: "Ya know, Babs, I've been thinking."  He said as he sat there
on his couch in his burrow looking at Babs on the other side.

Babs: "Oh, really?  Trying something new I suppose?"  She
chuckled after saying that.

Buster: "No, Babs, I'm serious.  The Acme Zone was a completely
alternate world to this.  I mean, what if there were any other
different dimensions like this?"

Babs: "Don't worry about it .  I mean the incident with the Acme Zone
was all Monty's fault to begin with, and who is going to be skipping
from dimension to dimension on some type of quest and all?  And
above all, who's going to be coming here?"

     In the middle of space, a hole was starting to open. Not just any
old hole, this one was far too different.  There were swirls and lights
shooting out of it from all sides.  Then blasting out of it came this
small type of space craft.  Much like the shuttle craft on Star Trek,
but the matter/anti-matter engines were out a little further, the front
shaped like a bird and slightly larger.  Inside in the drivers seat sat
a large man about 6'2" with brown hair, a little long in the front
hanging in front of his right eye, a thin scar from the corner of his
left eye to the bottom of his ear, and leather studded armor with a
pair of large boots with crevices mainly for mud.  He sat there with
a metallic hand in his left hand hooking to the armpiece on his right
hand.  

Computer: "*We have cleared the portal, closing Star Gate*."

He got up went to the panel and pressed a button.

Man: "What type of galaxy are we in this time?"

Computer: "*We have apparently entered into a congruent
universe, however the damage that still remains on this ship has
caused a slight difficulty*."

Man: "What KIND of difficulty?" He looked at the flight panel a
little upset.

Computer: "*The damage on the engine has sent us into the
alternate universe of our desired destination.*"

Man: "Oh geez!"

Computer: "* This has given us an advantage, for I can easily trace
the key's location due to lack of subatomic interference.*"

Man: " But you said it gave us a slight difficulty.  What's so bad
about that?"

Computer: "* <Explanation Mode initiated> *.* Some of the keys,
you may remember, are divided.  This key has been divided and
sent to alternate dimensions to make it even harder for anyone to
retrieve it, like us.  The major problem we have is that I must be
repaired to go to the alternate universe to retrieve part of the
key.  We cannot open a magic gate straight to Jade and come back,
for the damage has terminated some of my memory and I cannot
reload this dimension's particle frequency again.* *<End
Explanation Mode>* I assume you must find out how to repair me,
Andreas."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In the Acme Zone, in what looked like a makeshift courtroom, 
standing before a pulpit of some type was the most person elected
to be the judge of this trial, Elmyra.  Standing before her were
three defendants, the Chancellor, the Empress, and the Technodyne.
The jury was a collection of survivors who had stayed out of the war
and had not taken either side, and Montegue Max.  Since Pluckton
was very fair and trustworthy, he was elected to defend the trio. 
The accuser was the leader of the resistance, Fifi.  

Elmyra: "Chancellor, you have been charged of murder in every
degree, starting a war that had no intention of being started,
rebellion of higher officials, and the almost complete extinction of
the dodo's.  How do you plead?"

Chancellor: "I plead innocent! "

Elmyra: "Empress, you have been charged with murder in all
degrees, continual attacks on the Chancellor which has cost the life
of many people, destruction of private property to further your
advances, but were never used, and complete insanity.  How do you
plead?"

Empress: "I plead innocent!!"

Elmyra: "Technodyne, you have assaulted resistance forces and
have taken the eastern part of the Acme Zone by force over the
Supreme Directive, while under insanity yourself.  How do you
plead?"

Technodyne: "I plead guilty."

Everyone looked at each other in amazement to hear that the
Technodyne would ever give up like that.

Technodyne: "I have seen my mistakes, am sorry for what I did,
and take whatever punishment you see fit," He was sinking his head
to the Chancellor's eye level and winked at both the Chancellor and
the Empress.  "And am willing to return all my factories and
machinery with the command codes."

Elmyra: "Very well then.  Empress and Chancellor we shall begin
you trial in half an hour."

Just as that was said, a large thwoom went screeching by over the
building, blowing the roof off to see a ship come flying blind
heading toward the south end of the Acme Zone.  Figuring to use
this as an alternative escape plan, the Chancellor had slipped out of
his cuffs, side kicked Shirley upside the head, took her keys and
freed the Empress who had started to take everyone out once
she was free.  The Chancellor then uncuffed Technodyne, who
grabbed the table and took out Fifi.  The Chancellor then picked up
the unconscious skunk and fled for the door, the Empress and
Technodyne not far behind.

Chancellor: "Great work, Tech.  I didn't know you were working on
that in prison."

Technodyne: "That wasn't my escape plan.  That was most definitely
someone else."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Chapter 2
Now things get bad

Andreas: "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THIS THING!?!
COMPUTER! I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU COULD LAND
THIS THING IN SPITE OF THE DAMAGE."  "And how did it
get messed up like this?  I thought I got it repaired." he thought to
himself.

Computer: "*Using your knowledge on most situations, it would be
wise to tell you that lieutenant Kanabee had attempted to repair me.*"

Andreas: "Kanabee??  Well that explains why we're in this alternate
dimension."

A few seconds later, the ship crashed into what appeared to be a
nuclear waste dump.  Andreas crawled out with a metal bar stuck in
his chest.

Andreas: "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
WHY KANABEE??????  WHY NOT THE LIZARD?????????

A light glowed from his right arm, and out came a little blue ball.

Prism: "Simple.  You were cursed by Skemec, you don't have a bit
of good luck, and you accepted this stupid job four hundred years
ago and got your right arm lagged off."

Andreas: "Oh, har har, it is to laugh.  You don't help me much. 
You just sit around inside my arm and insult me."

Prism: "I keep notes for you, fire up your magic energy blasts, and
be your extra eye, other than that, I can't do much else."

Computer: "*<Auto Repair System activated>*""Repair time
completed in one hour and thirteen minutes.*"

Andreas: "Well at least something good happened.  And thank God
Kanabee didn't sneak aboard this ship either!"

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Back in Acme Acres, Shirley is in one of her  meditation phases
again.  The next scene it shows is the ether plane, where it shows
her aura, which is about to get a suprise visitor.

AZ Shirley: "Shirl, like I finally found you."

AA Shirley: "Like, wow!  It's my counterpart from the Acme Zone.
So, like, how's it going over there, did you like get everything
straightened out?"

AZ Shirley: "No, we were, like, about to put the Chancellor and the
Empress on trial when we had an intruder come by in some ship
that shook the whole place up.  I'm knocked out right now and
should be waking up in a little bit so byeeeeeeeeeeeee.................*"

Shirley, now waking up suddenly herself is brought back into
reality.

Shirley: "Like, oh man.  We could be facing some more problems
again."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

In the Acme Zone, Andreas is still getting a look at the area about
fifteen feet from his craft.

Prism: "I'm just a ball of condensed ether, and I'M STARTING TO
GET A HEADACHE JUST LOOKING AT YOU!!"

Andreas: "Just pipe down or I'll make you stay in my arm for this
expedition."

Prism: "Why on Jade did you take this crummy job in the first
place?"

Andreas: "Because if wasn't undead I'd kill myself."

Prism: "You're not just a zombie, and you're still alive."

Andreas: "Look, I'm going to check on the center of that town, you
can come along if you want."

Prism: "Are you sure it's a wise idea to leave this -thing- here
unguarded?"

Andreas: "From the looks of this place, it's a wonder if anybody
would ever stop by to look at it.  Now, are you coming or what?
I could use your optical enhancers out there."

Prism: "All-right, I'm coming."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Down in the subway, the terrible trio make their way through the
tunnels with an unconscious hostage.

Empress: "Why on Earth did you bring her along??  A hostage is a
great plan, but why her over everybody else??"

Chancellor: "Simple, she is the leader of the resistance, her hand to
hand combat is not nearly as good as ours, and she still has no tail
glands to defend herself with.  Plus I have no intention of making her
a hostage in the first place."

Technodyne: "So this is supposed to be another great plan of yours.
I hope it's better than your last escape attempt back in our old
prison."

Chancellor: "Oh, it's much better than that.  I intend to take back
this land and make those traitors pay.  But first I'm going to need
both of you to cooperate with me to get this right."

Empress: "If you get all this land, what do we get?"

Technodyne: "Mmm..."

Chancellor: "Easy.  You two can have Acme Acres."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Shirley: "That's like what she said.  I think something very bad is
going on here, and that the Chancellor might try to take us out again."

The usual six of Buster, Babs, Plucky, Hamton, Shirley, and Fifi
are sitting at a booth at Weenie Burgers. (If look real hard you
might even find some meat in their food.)

Buster: "Well if this Chancellor is going to attempt to beat us again,
we'd better get ready."

Plucky: "But how do we get ready for them?  They'll just switch
places with us and take us out separately."

Babs: "Well at least they don't have any friends here that could help
them."

Shirley: "Yeah, I know, but what's really, like, bugging me is that
ship that came flying in.  It might cause some more trouble in this
whole episode."

Buster: "Let's just hope it's for the Chancellor."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Chancellor: "All-right, Tech.  We're here."

Technodyne: "We're at the waste dump."

Chancellor: "True, but there is also some working equipment here
to use to open a dimension gate."

As they started to look around for parts, the Empress took Fifi and
tied her up and hung her upside down from a metal support beam
hanging outside the tunnel entrance.

Technodyne: "Hey, check this thing out."

The Empress and Chancellor ran over to see what it was.  Lo and
behold, there sat Andreas' craft.  The Technodyne went over to inspect
it.  It was almost done with its self repair work, except for the fact that
there was still some damage to the outside hull.  The Chancellor went
inside to look around.

Chancellor: "It looks like the same craft that flew in over our heads
back at the courthouse."

Technodyne: "Yes, and it looks like I've got my work cut short
too."

Empress: "What are you talking about?"

Tech.: "Look at the engines, these thing are matter/anti-matter, you
can open all kinds of gates with these."

Chancellor: "Good.  Then lets get work."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Andreas is down an alley in the middle of town.  He is calculating
something on a piece of paper.  Prism is floating a few feet in front
of him, scanning the area with a soft light.

Andreas: "Ah-hah!  I think I've  figured it out now."

Prism: "Figured out what, how to get out of this job for the Cosmic
Circle?"

Andreas: "No, the dimension frequency for this realm and the other
one connected to it."

Prism: "So how did you figure it out?"

Andreas: "Simple, looking at the frequency from our world of Jade,
and the last one we were in, that dimension of giant rats, and to
some of the other realms I go to frequently, they have a subatomic
pattern which goes in order from left to right, bottom to top."

Prism: "So in other words, you don't know what you're saying again,
right?"

Andreas: "No, I serious about this one, and I think we can use a ring
gate to get to different realms without the use of technology."

Prism: "You're sick of that ship aren't you?"

Andreas: "I'm fed up with it!  I don't see how a gate can be opened
through a wire surrounded by some glass and how you can store
writing into a little piece of a substance called 'plastic'.  Now how
to channel in ether from the local deities and make an illusion of a
simple bullet (be-u-let) is easy."

Prism: "Words suddenly fail me.  Anyway, I think I found that key
fragment."

Prism then shapes into an arrow and points at the wall.

Prism: "It's suspended inside it.  It's going to be tricky getting it
out."

Andreas: "You always think so three-dimensional.  I prefer to take
the quicker and easier way."

Andreas then takes the brown leather glove off his right hand.  He
balls his hand up into a fist, and charge of energy comes blasting out
of it into the wall.

Andreas: "Never mess with the man who has the iron hand."

He then puts his hand inside the hole and starts pulling out brick
from inside.  Then he stumbles across the key piece and pulls it out.

Prism: "Wow.  I wish I thought of that,." he said as sarcastically as
he could. "By the way you never told me how you got your arm
chopped off.  I thought with that curse, you could heal up severed
body limbs?"

Andreas: "You know Kanabee?"

Prism: "Of course.  He's like your bad luck charm."

Andreas: "Exactly, and, well he came along with me on my first
trip against Farchou.  He had some type of device he fired at
Kanabee.  I was hoping it would finally kill him.  But noooo...
Kanabee had a silver tooth and it happen to ricochet off that and hit
my arm.  The pain was so unbearable I had to hack it off above the
elbow with sharpest object I could grab."

Prism: "Out of curiosity what was the nearest object you could
find?"

Andreas: In a very weak tone, "A lead pipe."

Prism: "OWW!!!  I bet that hurt!!"

Andreas: "Not really.  But I had the blue prints on Farchou's
assimilations of life forms and made a crude prosthetic arm out of a
magically enhanced bracer."

Prism: "Well lets get back to the ship and get out of here.  This
place looks a little deserted."

Andreas: "Prism.  It looks like the ship is coming to us."

Prism: "What the heck are you talking about now?"

Andreas: "UP THERE!!!"

The bird of steel had flown over the buildings above their heads.  It
was going faster than what Andreas normally flew it.  But Andreas
soon pursued after it.

Andreas: "WALL BOOTS, PLEASE DON'T FAIL ME NOW!!"

He jumped on the wall and started running right up the side of it
with no trouble at all.  When he got to the top he started jumping
from roof to roof, and having 600 years of monster combat
training this was no problem for him at all.  The ship got a little
lower and then Galem jumped at and got a chunk of metal and
clinched it with his iron hand.

Chancellor: "What the heck was that?!?"

The Empress had opened up the hatch and saw Andreas pull out his
sword, grab onto the wing and pull himself closer to the door.

Empress: "WE'VE GOT COMPANY ON BOARD!!!  AND HE
LOOKS LIKE HE WOULD EAT US BREAKFAST TOO!!"

Technodyne was sitting in the driver's chair.

Tech.: "No problem.  With this thing's accurate turning capabilities, I
can get rid of him with ease."

He then hit a pedal on the floor board and brought the ship to a
sudden halt.  Andreas went flying off with his hand still attached to
the wing.

*BOOOM*  Andreas was plastered up against the wall.  He fell to
the ground, and even though every bone in his body was broken when
he hit the wall, they were broken some more when he hit the ground.

Andreas: Mumbling to himself, "Well, at least it wasn't one of
Cauldrin's 'Death Wish' spells."

The ship slowly set down next to him, and the Chancellor poked
his head outside the hatch.

Chancellor: "Thank you for this marvelous piece of work.  You
helped us a great deal.  If you survive, we will come back to finish
you off."

Andreas: "If you could finish me off, I'd give you my treasure vault."

Chancellor: "Then you better go get it, if you ever get up.  HA
HA!!"

Just then the ship took off and opened a portal to Acme Acres.
Andreas just laid there waiting for his body to heal up.

Andreas: "I'm glad I took my serum before I left.  I'll probably be
healing for about three hours, so I'll just go to sleep."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Chapter 3
Getting ready for war

Back in Acme Acres, the portal had just opened and out came the
bird like ship.  The Technodyne was still studying the control panel
when he found what he was looking for.

Tech.: "Ah ha!  This thing also has a cloaking device on it.  This is
going to be better than I thought."

Chancellor: "Great now we head over to 154 East Clop St."

Empress: "What's there that we might need in our conquest?"

Chancellor: "When I was at my counterpart's home, I found
something- or rather someone- that could be a better help than
Monty was."

Empress: "Why didn't we go to him first?"

Chancellor: "He -um- had a slight mutation, but I think he should
have it fixed by now."

Empress: "What does he do that can help us?"

Chancellor: "He's a geneticist.  And can possibly help us with a
mind control drug.  That's why I brought 'Ms. Skunkette along."

Technodyne: "Anything I might be in service of?"

Chancellor: "I need you to go to the penitentiary and find this man."  He
gave Tech. a piece of paper.  "If what this computer tells us is true
about its owner, we will need someone crazy enough to take him on."

Empress: "Well we're here.  And what exactly is the name of this
geneticist?"

Chancellor: "Gene Splicer."
/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

At the Looniversity, Calamity was at his computer system when he
detected the portal opening.  His patented "Roadrunner" cameras
had caught everything on tape.  Immediately he called Buster.
There were two rings when there was an answer.

Buster: "Hello?"

Calamity, now remembering he can't talk, tries to answer back.

Buster: "Just kidding, I'm not home right now, but if you leave a
message, I'll get back to you."

Calamity was a little relieved about that and called Babs.

Babs: "Hello?" she said very sleepily.

No answer.

Babs: "If this is Furball, bang the phone down once, if it's Calamity,
bang twice.

*WHAM**WHAM*

Babs: "Calamity, if this isn't very important hang up, if it's life
threatening, bang again."

*WHAM*

Babs: "All-right,  I'm coming."

Babs walked outside, it was about 9:00 and she started to stagger
her way down the street when she came by the junk yard.  Then she
thought for a second and figured she might get someone who's a
little more of a night owl.  She walked over to an old car in the
center of the yard and knocked on the passenger door.

Babs: "Hello?"

Fifi had been sitting there reading one of her old love stories when
she looked out at the rabbit.

Fifi: "Ello Babs.  What brings you out here?"

Babs: "I'm a little tired and Calamity has some life threatening
news."

Fifi: "Theez ez terrible.  We must go see him immediately."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Empress and Chancellor walked in through the door to
Splicer's lab.  They saw him dancing to Weird Al Yankovic's song
"Like a Surgeon" with a hamster in his hand.

Gene: "Like a surgeon- cutting for the very first time. Like a
surgeon.  Got your kidneys on my mind. Like a -*

The Empress had apparently pulled the plug on his radio.  The
Chancellor, dragged the AZ Fifi by the tail into the room (She's awake
now) with a gun pointed at him.

Gene: "Oh now little kiddies, there's no need to get violent.  I just
got over our last incident together and-*

Chancellor: "Shut-up, Splicer!  We are not this Buster and Babs
you know."

Empress: "We are from the Acme Zone.  And right now, we need
your help."

Gene: "Well now, I don't trust most animals, especially not ones I attempted
to mutate.  What do you want from me?"

Chancellor: "We want you to design a mind control drug.  We
need it to be where the victim will not look like he's under its control."

Gene: "Gee now, that's going to be a little hard.  But I can get it
done, depending on what I get out of it."

Chancellor: "Simple you get our drug, you get to live, and to stay
out of our hair for the rest of your existence."

Gene: "Well now since you put it like that, MELVIN!!  SMASH
THESE RABBITS."

Melvin came staggering in, beaten up, bruised, and worn out.

Empress: "This is what we can do to your deadly mutations.  Don't
ask what we can do to you, Gene."

Gene: "All-right, I'll do it." he said nervously.

Chancellor: "Good.  Now we also brought you a test subject to
experiment on."

Gene: "Heh heh.  I would try, but don't have enough money to get two
gallons of tomatoe juice."

Empress: "THIS is the Fifi from the Acme Zone.  The Chancellor
had the glands from her tail removed when he came into power."
She gave the Chancellor a menacing look after she said that.

Gene: "All-right, but you're going to have to let me finish my work
after I get done with this drug."

Chancellor: "What were you doing in here in the first place."

Gene: "I was -uh- trying to get rid of my craving for bird seed."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Chapter 4
Family Reunion

Andreas woke up, a little stiff, with a Hamton pointing a laser right
at his chest.

Andreas: "Listen pig, I just got this armor patched up before I left
home, and I don't feel like sewing it up again."

Shirley: "Look, like, we don't know who you are, but your untimely
intervention let three of our worst enemies get loose."

Andreas: "I don't really care about that.  I'm about to go to the
opposite realm, get what I came to get, get my ship, and leave.
You won't see me again."

Hamton: "How do plan to get over to the other dimension?"

Andreas: "Magic," he said sarcastically, "I'll use magic."

Elmyra: "Magic is all make believe and doesn't exist."

Andreas tried to getup  when Hamton pushed his gun against his chest.

Andreas: "Go ahead and fire.  It won't hurt me one bit."

Hamton became nervous and fired, and blew a small hole right
through his chest.  A glob of blood was plastered against the wall.
Andreas grabbed the gun and threw it across the room.

Andreas: "DON'T YOU KNOW LONG IT TAKES TO SEW THI-"
he stopped to realize he had pointed his arm-piece at the pig and calmed
down. "Look, I'm a crazy, psychopathic, lunatic who has not one
bit of sanity left in my body and does not feel any pain from any
type of impact," <Andreas inhales> "and who doesn't know what he is
saying now because I am about to go another one of my ballistic
rages because -*"  He was cut off when Prism jumped his in face
and started yelling at him.

Prism: "CALM DOWN.  YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT
AGAIN AND YOU'RE SERUM IS RUNNING LOW!!  NOW
CALM DOWN!!"

Andreas: "Prism, take a note.  Remind me bring Fred or Earnest so
I can yell at someone human."

Prism: "Shall I file that with -A-HEM- putting an enchanted lock on
the wine cellar?"

Andreas: "Oh-no.  I forgot about Amouk.  Let's worry about that
later, and focus on the subject at hand."

Elmyra: "Uh- Amouk?"

Andreas: "He's an ogre that has a bottomless pit in his stomach."
He looked down at his severed hand again, "Look, my hand broke
off, and  I forgot to bring my emergency hook with me.  Could you
get my glove off for me?"

Montegue slid his glove off his hand and saw a small ring with three
gems surrounding it.

Andreas: "Now, get the ring."

Pluckton: "Um- what exactly do you plan on doing?"

Andreas: "As I said before, I'm getting my ship back by using magic."

Montegue: "Here's your ring."

Andreas took the ring and held it in front of his armpiece.

Andreas: "Prism, fire up ring gate and open door.  Necro pattern
jui-opl-tremv.  If you guys want to come along, you can."

Elmyra: "We might as well.  But one thing still bothers me."

Shirley: "What would that be?"

Elmyra: "When Buster and Babs came over, they were replaced
with their counterparts, the Chancellor and the Empress.  How
come it didn't happen this time?"

Andreas: "Simple.  That's the easiest way to keep a balance
between two planes.  The Bird of Steel works its way around that."

Elmyra: "Then what about your 'magic' gate."

Andreas: "When my ancestors migrated to Jade, the wizards
worked around that problem, and ever since then, that's how we've
used all our dimension gates.  So anyway, do you want to come or
not?"

Elmyra: "We'll have to stop them, especially with the Technodyne
aiding them now."

Everyone agreed to this.  Then lightning charges came out of the
armpiece and shot to the ring expanding it about eight feet in
diameter and suddenly engulfing all of them.

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Babs and Fifi came up to the steps of the Looniversity when Shirley
came out and ran into Babs.

Shirley: "BABS.  Like, I finally found you, or some junk."

Babs: "What's up, Shirl?"

Shirl: "I was like, coming home from Weenie Burgers down old
Clop Street.  I looked inside and, like, that Splicer guy had Fifi with
some kind of total negatory gunk and what not."

Babs: "Uh- Shirl.  Fifi is right here." Pointing to her. "She was at
home reading some magazines."

Fifi: "What are you saying, you saw moi?"

Babs: "Uh-oh.  Calamity called me earlier and 'singnaled' me that there
was some life threatening danager.  Maybe he can tell us what's
going on.

The three walked down to the laboratory.  There was Calamity with
all the moitors on, each with a different picture on them.  He rushed
over to all three of them and pushed them over to one of the monitors.
It was showing the space craft.

Shirley: "Uh-Calamity, like what's going on here?"

Babs: "Look at this picture.  Isn't that, the Chancellor?"

Calamity shook his head yes.

Babs: "Uh-oh.  This is trouble.  And that looks like Clop Street
right there."

Fifi: "Oiu.  They might have gotten that Splicail to aid zare terrible
plans."

Shirley: "Like, I think she means Splicer.  And I think they brought
back the Acme Zone Fifi and let ole' Gene experiment on her."

Babs: "But wern't we supposed to be replaced by them?"

Shirley: "We have to like stop the Chancellor, or he might try to wipe
us out again."

Babs: "All-right girls.  Let's go get 'em."

The girls left, and Calamity held up a sign that read: Thanks for
coming by.

*POOF*  Suddenly Andreas was standing in the middle of Weenie
Burgers with his allies from the Acme Zone.

Plucky: "Wow.  I just got hepped up on something, or am I really
seeing myself from the Acme Zone?"

Pluckton: "No it's us, Plucky, and without dimensional side effects."

Prism: "Andreas, I just found the ship."

Andreas: "Really? You tracked it that fast?"

Prism: "No.  It's sitting outside."

Everyone turned to look at the craft that had been sitting there for
only a few minutes.

Then the front door burst open and in came the Technodyne.

Tech.: "Hello all.  I was to get rid of most of you Acme Acres
creeps, and I figured this would be a better place than any to get rid of
all of you at one time with the 'Will Dizzy Eat It' night." Andreas
walked up to him and started looking around.  "And thank you very
much Mr. Galem.  You're ship is a work of art, and WHAT are
looking for?"

Andreas: "I'm looking for your pals who are going to keep me from
tearing you apart."

Tech.: "I know.  That's why I was sent to get some help.  I had to
get someone crazy enough to take you on." He turned his head and
looked outside."Take him out. He's fresh meat."

Crashing through the window there, stood Mr. Hitcher, with his
baseball cap, overcoat, orange high tops, chainsaw and hockey
mask, ready to kill.

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Back at Splicer's lab Fifi has now been injected with the mind control
drug.  The Empress is pleased now that the Resistance leader is
following her every command, and is waiting on the Chancellor to get
back.

Empress: "What the heck is taking him so long?"

Gene: "I don't know." He was chewing on some bird seed at the
time. "Fifi.  Get me that potassium benzoate."

The Chancellor came in the room with the Wolverine on his back.

Empress: "What took you so long?"

Chancellor: "You should try carrying this thing across the woods.
Well, Splicer does it work?"

Gene: "It works perfectly.  She responds to me and the Empress,
nyha ha ha."

Chancellor: "Why only you two?"

Empress: "You weren't here to put in the voice commands in her
head."

Chancellor: "Well Gene, shoot this guy up.  We're going to need all
the muscle power we can get right now."

Shirley, Babs, and the AA Fifi were looking in all of them.

Fifi: "Do you theenk we should get some help?"

Babs: "C'mon Feef.  We can handle it ourselves."

*Click*

The three turned around and looked at Melvin who was pointing
a shotgun at them.

Chancellor: "Well, well.  Look who has come to the party.  We didn't
anticipate any visitors this soon."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Chapter 5
Andreas' Biggest Battle

Hitcher swung his chainsaw.  Andreas quickly ducked under it, and then ran
at him, ramming his shoulder into his gut.  Hitcher kneed him in the
chest and beat the motor on his back.  Everyone heard a load crack
when he hit. As Hitcher was about to make another swing at him,
Andreas rolled over and pointed his arm at the maniac, firing his
usual energy bursts.  The shot hit the mask, breaking it off.
	AZ Shirley ran outside to the ship to see what she could do to
help.  The battle inside grew worse and worse.  Andreas, now with
some senses back in his head, put his wall boots to some more use and
threw Hitcher off guard when fighting from the ceiling. (Andreas is
rather used to this for he's done it for so long).

AZ Shirley: "There's got to be something in here to help that one
armed human."

She threw a small box inside the ship and looked around some
more.  She then looked outside to see his robotic hand clinched on
the wing.  Shirley managed to pry it off and ran inside with it.

Hitcher: "HEH HEH HEH HEH!!! You're gonna die here!!!"

Andreas: "Well I've always got more tricks up my sleeve."

He rolled the sleeve down his right arm exposing the crude bracer
that powers his hand.  He pushed three gems on at once, and a
rounded guard slid out at the wrist and a short fencing sword came
out the center where the hand attached to it.

Andreas: "En guard"

He went in for a trust, but it was deflected by the maniac.  Hitcher
swung his chainsaw, and it sank into Andreas lung by about two inches.
This didn't bother him though, and they kept on fighting, parrying each
other's attacks until Hitcher got a good back-swing and broke the epee
offthe bracer.  Using his arm piece as a shield,he blocked as much as he
could,trying to reach behind his back and get his legendary Scabbard.
About then, Shirley threw the hand at Hitcher, hitting him on the head.
Andreas grabbed it before it hit the ground.  He attached it to his
wrist and reached behind himself and pulled a magnificent sword.  Not
just any sword, this was a work of art, and the curve on it was set
so perfectly that it was used almost like a frisbee of some type.  He
swung it at Hitcher, chopping his chainsaw in two.  Placing the
sword back in its sheath, he grabbed Hitcher by the face with his
robotic hand and lifted him over his head.

Andreas: "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO PATCH
THIS ARMOR BACK UP YOU STUPID HOMICIDAL DEL-*"

Once again cut off by Prism.

Prism: "Calm down please.  I think you killed him already."

Andreas dropped him to the ground and saw that he was barely breathing.

Andreas: "He's not dead yet, and I'm not done yelling at him."

Prism: "Well your ship's about to leave too.  You didn't take care of
that giant bird."

AZ Shirley: "Don't worry, I put a tracking device inside of it, and now we
can follow him."

Everyone, now glad the fight was over, went to see who else came
from the Acme Zone.

Monty: "Why did my goody-twoshoes 'other' have to come along?"

Andreas went over to the nearest booth and plopped down in it.
He was almost exhausted.

AZ Elmyra: "What's wrong?  Are you feeling bad?"

Andreas: "I've never been so worn out in all my life," he said
breathing heavily.  "PRISM!!"

Prism then emerged from his artificial arm.

Prism: "Is something the matter?"

Andreas: "Do a body scan.  I can't tell if that maniac did something
to me."

Prism: "Mmmm...  You haven't had your serum."

Andreas: "What?!?  I took some before I left home."

Prism: "I know that.  I just found out that you got the wrong kind
going through your bloodstream."

Andreas: "What do you mean by that?"

Prism: "You got some of Carlos' anti-calcium medication."

Andreas: "What does Carlos need anti-calcium for?"

Prism: "Remember, he's been nothing more but research material."

Andreas: "So what does this anti-calcium do to me?"

Prism: "It's eating your bones right now.  Your arms and ribs are
broken in at least twelve places."

Andreas looks at the floor and gets his ring.  He places it on his right
hand and sends an electronic charge to it.

Andreas: "Prism, take me home."

The ring expanded and engulfed him like those giant rings do on
Sonic 3.

Buster: "Ho boy.  Looks like we're going to have to do this on our
own now.  Shirley, has your tracking device picked up the ship yet?"

AZ Shirley: "Like, its totally got them, Buster, and looks like they
stopped or some junk."

About that time, Calamity came running in, about to pass out from
all that running.  He gave Buster a note and dropped to the floor.

Buster: He read the note aloud.  "You've got to help the girls.
They went down Clop Street to Splicer's old lab.  I think they're in
trouble."

Plucky: "Oh-no!  I'm going to see Splicer again.  Last time he tried
to nab my noodle.  And if the Chancellor and Empress are over
there, I'd rather go to a little cemetary and bury myself."

Buster: "C'mon, Plucky.  Think about it.  You save Shirley, you
could be her knight in shining armor."

AZ Elmyra: "Well, let's get going.  The more we stay here, the more
time the Chancellor has to get ready."

As all the toons headed out to Splicer's lab, he was almost ready
with his little surprise.

Chapter 6
The Final Showdown

Buster, AZ Shirley, AZ Elmyra, Montegue, Monty, Plucky,
Pluckton, and Dizzy (who came along for the free snacks) came out
to Splicer's old house.  When they got up to the steps, the whole
walkway opened.  All but Monty and Pluckton fell in. 

Monty: "Oh geez!"

Pluckton: "Well then, Monty, it looks like we're going to have to
go in the back door."

Monty: "If you think I'm going in there, you've got another think
coming."

Pluckton: "Look, the Chancellor is going to wipe you out too
unless we can stop him.  And the best strategy to assume is that
everyone else is not coming out."

Monty: "All-right all-right, let's go, duck."

At the bottom of the landing, everyone got up, feeling a little groggy.
Babs came running up to them.

Babs: "BUSTER!!  Boy am I glad I found you!  The Chancellor
and the Empress got Shirley and the Fifis under some kind of mind
control, and they tried to kill me!"

Buster: "Calm down, Babs.  We'll find out how to fix that problem.
But first let's take out Splicer and the Chancellor."

Babs: "The Technodyne is here with them too.  He's got some kind
of artillery that could make the Death Star look like a moon beam."

Plucky: "This just gets better all the time."

*SNARL*  Everyone turned to look at the Wolverine standing
right behind them.  He looked a little hungry and from the looks of
the foam coming out his mouth, he was probably had rabies too.

Everyone ran like chickens with their heads cut off dashing down
the corridor. 

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Monty and Pluckton had come down a hidden staircase behind the
clock.

Pluckton: "How did you know that staircase was back there?"

Monty: "Well, this place looks like Bruce Wayne's mansion on the
inside, so I just took a shot."

They had come to the bottom to see the Technodyne working on
some type of cannon.  Shirley and one of the Fifis were helping him
get the pieces in place. 

Pluckton: "I don't believe it, they're helping him destroy our friends.
I can't believe they could betray us like that."

Monty: "You bird brain.  Gene Splicer is a geneticist.  He made a
mind control drug and has them in some kind of a hypnotic state."

*Click*  They both turned to see the AZ Fifi with a double barrel
shotgun pointed right at their faces.

AZ Fifi: "Move eet."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Everyone was still trying to outmaneuver the beast, but it was a one
way corridor and he wasn't really trying to kill them, just to keep
them going down the hall.  They were all forced to go through the
door at the end.  They all saw the Chancellor and the Empress in a
stance ready to fight.  The Wolverine was standing over them about
ready to chew their heads off.

Empress: "Down boy"

The Wolverine sat down on the floor.  Ready to spring into action
when notified.

Chancellor: "Well done now.  So, my other self, how's it been?"

Buster: "Couldn't be any better."

Chancellor: "Well I spent the last two months in prison until they
could figure out what to do to me.  Babs, take him out."

Buster: "What?!?"

Babs wacked Buster over the head, knocking him to the floor.  Buster
rolled over and looked up at her about to stomp on his face when AZ
Shirley grabbed her from behind.

AZ Shirley: "Like, what's the matter with you?  Why on Earth are
you doing this?"

Chancellor: "Simple.  She, and her friends, put their noses where
they didn't belong.  And if I were you, I'd calm down.  We have traps
all over this place, the Wolverine will eat you on my command,
three of your other pals ore under our control, and the Technodyne
had enough resources to make a weapon way more powerful than
his regular disrupter cannon."

Empress: "Splicer, Technodyne, show them what we've got!"

There was no answer for a few seconds.

AZ Elmyra: "So, this is what you've got?"

Chancellor: "Something's happened to them.  We're going to have to
take them out ourselves, Empress."

Just as he said that, a dark cloud started forming around the room,
lightning started shooting out all over the place.

Empress: "SPLICER!!  He's going to kill us too!!"

The lightning struck all of them.  They all were alive though, and
they looked at their new surroundings.  Splicer, Technodyne,
Monty, Pluckton, AA Shirley, and both Fifi s were there with them
in a cold and very dark room.  It was rather large too.

Buster: "Where the heck are we?"

Plucky: "I don't know, but I told you that this was getting worse all
the time."

They had heard some footsteps coming up to them.  They all
looked and saw two glowing eyes coming at them.  One red, the
other yellow.  A flash of light came behind it and showed the
outline of some of monster with wings and horns about a foot long,
and was shaped almost like a type of dragon.  Then some light
illuminated the room slightly, and there stood Andreas.  He had
some combat armor on that was more well patched and made him
look a little more menacing.

Andreas: "Hello, Chancellor.  Welcome to my world."

/////////////|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Chapter 7
HEH HEH HEH HEH

Everyone was astonished to see Andreas standing there, and at how
he got them here.  However, the Technodyne was not intending on
hearing anything else he had to say.  Tech. aimed his cannon right at
him, and when he was about to fire, there was a sawing sound and
the front half of it fell off right in front of him.  Tech. looked up to
see there was a nine foot monster that looked like lizard standing
over him.  He was nine-hundred pounds in weight and the plated
armor he wore weighed about the same.  He was holding a sword that
was about six feet in length, and was smiling at him.

Andreas: "I would like you to meet my most destructive lieutenant,
Me."

Technodyne: "You?"

Andreas: "Not 'U'.  ME!  Two letters, M-E.  That's him."

Me: "HELLO!" He said in a high pitched squeaky voice which just
about made the Technodyne go deaf.

Andreas: "This thing has single handedly driven me insane for the past 20
years.  He's the reason I now go on these ballistic streaks."

Empress: "So you two think you can stop us?  Ha!  We'll have
these girls kill themselves with a simple word."

Andreas: "Earnest.  Fix them." The lights slightly lit up some more.
There stood all of Andreas' senior officers.  A priest walked up a
little ways to them.

Earnest: "A-Jo-Plu- Ka!" And he thrust his hand out as a magic
vapor emerged from his hand.  It soaked into their heads and they
finally woke up from their hypnotic state.

Babs: "Oh, Buster, I'm sorry I tried to kill you." She ran over to him
and started hugging his neck.

Buster: "It's okay now.  Everything's going our way, finally."

Andreas: "Now then.  You are at my limited mercy.  We are in the
darkest section of my fortress.  This is a little area I call, 'THE PIT!
It's a little place of my own design.  I got the idea from Natasha
back in 1631, when she was queen of Earth.  Down there, I keep
the most horrible, disguising, bloodthirstiest, and the most hungriest
creatures alive.  And I've made it so that if anybody goes in, they probably
don't come out, and of the few that did get back out, most of them went
crazy as a result."

Technodyne: "And so what, are going to put us in there?"

Andreas: "No.  I'm going to let your *A-HEM* friends decide
that."

Plucky: "I think you should just put them in.  It would get them out
of our hair for keeps."

Andreas: "I think you're right.  OPEN PIT."

Some clinking sounds were going on all around them, and
somehow the floor opened up right under Andreas.  He clinched the
mouth of the hole with hand and pulled himself up.

Andreas: "Geez!  Who's at the controls?!?"

He looked over to the switches and saw a man with a silver tooth
smiling at him.

Kanabee: "Sorry boss!  It won't happen again!"

As he said that, a tentacle reached out and grabbed Andreas around
the neck.

Andreas (chokeingly): "Get it off!"

Me ran over to it and chopped the tentacle off along with some of
Andreas' hair.  He crawled out of the hole and Axel went to close
the hole from the controls.

Andreas: "I put up with this stuff all day long.  I have put up with it
for at least 20 years already.  I get to the point where what I say
makes no sense.  NOW GET THEM OUT OF MY FORT!!"

Earnest: "Yes sir, getting rid of them."

Earnest cast a spell and sent the Acme Zone cast back to where
they belong, and then he sent the others back to their own dimension.

Earnest: "You know, you shouldn't be bringing people back from
their dimensions.  It could cause some serious disturbances in the
alternate planes."

Andreas: "Fred?  What did I just say?"

Fred: "You told him to get them out of your fort."

Andreas: "But I wasn't done with my speech yet."

Fred: "It's best you didn't.  Besides, you've got a lot more to worry
about here than over there."

Prism: (thinking to itself) "Maybe I should tell him he forgot to get
the other key and his ship."

The End
(Not yet)

What possessed me to write this?  I have not the foggiest idea.  All
I remember is being chased by some demon through the woods after
I escaped Area 51.  But then I remembered I was chasing my tail.
