DUAL FATES, PART 3

Bleeko’s Ascension, Sirrus goes Super Warner 3?

DBZ ANNOUNCER- Last time, on “Dual Fates,” Sirrus had just discovered, thanks to the help of his old friend, Hunter of the Road Rovers, what Blinko had meant by “a weight lifted from him.” It was confirmed that Blinko’s true energy was being blocked by a darker force, a sort of Hyde factor, but during his training, that side was lifted, and unlocked vast libraries of power, but in losing that evil, all Blinko did was create the most vicious enemy he’d ever have to face, Bleeko, a toon with sinister thoughts in mind, and horrific powers in hand. Blinko, however, following the Supreme Kai’s directive to go to Acme Acres, decided to see what was up, only to see the home of the Tiny Toons, completely in ruins. Upon investigation, Blinko saw the culprit, Bleeko himself, who promptly challenged him to a battle. However, this was one battle that the Ultimate Warner couldn’t win, as Bleeko had absorbed energy from almost every toon in Acme, and had grown stronger with each toon. After the beating however, Blinko was able to escape Bleeko’s clutches with an unexpected transformation to Super Warner, resulting in his collapse, after which, five mysterious shadows picked him up, to possibly nurse him back to health. Can Blinko stop Bleeko before his goal is reached? Find out now, on “DUAL FATES!”

WARNER LOT, AFTERNOON

Sirrus is in the middle of explaining what Hunter had told him about Blinko’s hidden abilities to his friends and family.

SIRRUS-...so basically, when the bad juju left Blinko, his true power burst through like the Kool-Aid Man.
MINERVA- Whoa! That explains it pretty well to me!
TRUDY- Me, too!
SLAPPY- Yeah, and thanks for translatin’ the science mumbo jumbo, so that us less scientifically intelligent could understand.

Sirrus spin changes into a British gentleman, and smiles.

SIRRUS- Not a problem, madam.

Slappy laughs a little at this.

SIRRUS- Anyway, I better find out where the Blinkster is. Trudy’s gettin’ awfully worried.

Just as soon as Sirrus was about to try and look for Blinko, a voice appeared in his head. Not only that, it appeared in every toon in the lot!

???- Listen, everyone! I have terrible news!
SIRRUS- Shepard, is that you?

The voice groans, exasperated.

???- Why is everyone confusing me for this Shepard person? I am the Supreme Kai! Now listen! I have news about Blinko!

The toons gasp!

YAKKO- Really?
DOT- Where’s our bro?
S. KAI- Right now, he’s unconscious in Acme Acres, after fight some toon that claimed that he was Blinko’s dark side personified. That toon is on his way here! He seeks to absorb the “three toons that can give him the strength to rule the world.” Does anyone have any idea who he could mean by that?

Sirrus thinks it over, but begins to realize who this evil toon meant!

SIRRUS- Oh, no! This can’t be good! I gotta warn the guys!

As Sirrus bolts to warn the three toons, we return to

ACME ACRES, AFTERNOON

In Acme Loo, Blinko is being tended to by the mysterious shadows that picked him up in the previous episode, who have bandaged his wounds, and kept him safe. Soon, Blinko begins to stir.

BLINKO- Ugh...Trudy, are you there? Was it all a dream?
???- If it were, would you be standing in what used to be Acme Looniversity?

Blinko rubs his eyes to see he is indeed in Acme Looniversity. Then he turns to see the shadows that picked him up, who are actually...

BLINKO- Buster? Babs? You’re all right?

Buster and Babs step out of a hallway, battered, bruised and disheveled.

BUSTER- All depends on what you mean by “all right.”
BABS- We’re not the only survivors of that renegade Warner.

Babs then points to three of the shadows, revealing them to be Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Screwy Squirrel, all disheveled, and badly harmed.

SCREWY- So, you’re Blinko, huh?
BLINKO- Yeah. That’s me.
SCREWY- Nice to finally meet ya, though I wish we would’ve met on better terms than this.
BLINKO- Yeah, you could’ve at least tidied up a bit.

Screwy gives his trademark Screwy Chuckle, getting the joke. Blinko smiles a bit knowing that Sirrus’ friend and mentor was alive and well. But then, he heard a soft weeping.

BLINKO- Huh? Who’s that?
???- Le weep, le cry, le sob! Le boo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Blinko turned to see a pretty, young violet skunkette, her fur dirty from sitting on the ground, her face buried in her hands.

BLINKO- My gosh, this situation must have you rattled worse than I thought. Hey, I know you! You’re Fifi la Fume! You helped me escape from Bimbette!
FIFI- Oui. But, you ‘ave come a tres mauvais time. I am, ‘ow you say, grieving ze loss of my little bacon of bits, Hampton!

Blinko looks a bit saddened himself now.

BLINKO- Hey, no worries, Feef! I promise, I’ll personally get Hampton back to his normal self in no time!
FIFI- Vous...vous mean, Hampton is not mort?
BLINKO- No, Fifi, just drained. Drained by that leech of a toon, Bleeko!

Babs fainted when she heard that name.

BUSTER- Hey, Blink! Ix-nay on the Eeko-blay!

Blinko blushes at this, embarrassed.

BLINKO- Sorry.
BUSTER- No prob.
BLINKO- So, how’d you guys escape from, um....you know who?

Buster then explained how Babs found an old hidden passageway in her locker, and Bugs, Daffy, Screwy, Buster, Fifi and her hid, till they were sure that Bleeko was gone. When they got out, they were greeted by the sight of their town demolished, and all their friends drained.

BLINKO- That monster has to be stopped!
FIFI- But, monsieur Blinko, ze one that can’t be named iz zo salement and sinistair! Do vous think that you can win against him?

Blinko looks at her, for the first time with uncertainty.

BLINKO- I don’t know, but I have to try at least. But I’m curious. Why did he come here? Why didn’t he try and take over the Universe, like all psychotic villains?
BUGS- I’m not sure. Ya see, he kept on talkin’ about three toons who could give him da power to rule dis world.
DAFFY- You have any idea who that could be?

Blinko began to think about this. Three toons who had that much power? Who could....oh, no!

BLINKO- He couldn’t mean....or, could he? I have to go!
FIFI- But, Blinko! Vous are no match for ze one called Bleeko!

Babs faints again.

FIFI- Oops. Pardonez moi.
BLINKO- I don’t care! I have to save them, now!

And with that, Blinko bolted and headed to Warner Bros. Studio.

WARNER LOT, AFTERNOON.

Meanwhile, the lot looks as fortified as a, well, fortress. Every toon is battle ready, for when this new toon shows up to try and absorb the three toons he needs. Sirrus shows up, dressed as an army general.

SIRRUS- All right men.

Sirrus then here’s a multitude of “AHEM!” from the female toons.

SIRRUS- Oh, sorry. I mean, “men and women.” The enemy will be upon us soon. From what we have heard from this Supreme Kai, this creature can match Blinko in power and absorb the power of other toons as well. Also, we now know the targets that this creature seeks.
SLAPPY (Dressed as a war marshal)- You mean you know! Who’s the toons that this nutcase is targetin’?

Sirrus then looked at Slappy.

SIRRUS- Think, Slappy. Who are the three most energetic, zany, and crazy toons that you all know?

They all thought, but then, Colleen instantly figured it out!

COLLEEN- The...the Warners?
SIRRUS- Bingo.

The toons gasped in horror!

HUNTER- I would not have predicted this!
SIRRUS- That’s why we must stop this monster, otherwise we will all perish! So, if any of you are not up for the task....then you can leave.

Blitz, Shag, Scooby, Shaggy and other cowardly WB toons decided to try and escape.

SIRRUS- But know this, that if you leave, you’ll be endangering not only my siblings, but yourselves in later days.
BLITZ- Oh, darn! I vas vishing he vouldn’t say zat!

The toons then returned.

SIRRUS- Alright, guys. You have your orders. Now, LET’S DO THIS!

The toons then cheered and readied themselves. Meanwhile, Bleeko was flying towards the studio at top speed.

BLEEKO- I can sense the three I need! They’re close by!

Bleeko then begins his descent. Meanwhile, Skippy, on top of a sound stage, spots Bleeko through binoculars!

SKIPPY- Incoming enemy! Man your stations!

The toons readied themselves for an intense battle. Sirrus was standing vigilant, ready to fight. Finally, as Bleeko neared the studio, Hunter and Colleen, manning (or dogging, whatever the case may be.) a pair of rocket launchers, ready their weapons.

HUNTER- Ready, Colleen?
COLLEEN- Let’s show this bloke what happens when you try to harm the friends of the Road Rovers!

The two open a fierce salvo of missiles, all hitting Bleeko directly.

HUNTER- All right!
COLLEEN- Scratch one blighter!

But before the two Rovers could leave the sound stage roofs, they heard a dark laughter, emanating from the smoke cloud that the missiles created. The smoke cleared, and they see Bleeko, completely unharmed.

BLEEKO- Fools! Do you honestly think that your weaponry can stop me? I am Bleeko Warner, the Ultimate Darkness!
HUNTER- Well, then, let’s get a little more high tech! Colleen, the Rover K-9 Cannon!
COLLEEN- Right!

Colleen pulls a remote from her belt and pushes a button, and Hunter’s sound stage opens, revealing a powerful, ultra advanced laser cannon with a dog’s head as the barrel worthy of M.i.B.

HUNTER- If this doesn’t stop him, I don’t know what will.

The computer acquires it’s target, and Hunter shoulders the cannon.

HUNTER- As they say in Mexico, “Hasta Lumbago!”
COLLEEN- That’s “Hasta Luego,” chief.

Hunter fires the K-9 Cannon, a powerful blue beam coming out of it, and Bleeko just stands there.

BLEEKO- Hmph. Fine then. Try this on for size!

Bleeko holds his hands in a Final Flash manner, and charges a mass of red energy, with black lightning surging though it.

BLEEKO- Good-bye, mutt! EVIL’S HOWL!

Bleeko then releases an energy beam of his own, intercepting Hunter’s attack, and stopping it cold.

HUNTER- Yet another unexpected twist! Bummer.

The beam grows closer, and closer, leaving Hunter with only one option, run. Dropping the cannon, Hunter used his super speed to bolt from his sound stage to Colleen’s and grabbed her, and bolted away, just as the attack hit, causing a massive explosion, destroying the gate and the sound stages.

BLEEKO- Fools. NONE WILL ESCAPE!

Bleeko then rushes into the studio, to destroy the two canines who attempted to stop him. However, he was greeted by an army of toons, ready to attack.

SLAPPY- GET THAT CREEP!!!

At this command, every toon charged in and began a massive assault! Slappy came in with a multitude of bombs, Pinky and the Brain were in an improved mech suit, designed for combat, Rita and Runt were dressed as an ancient gladiator, and her steed, and many more. Sirrus smiled.

SIRRUS- Looks like that jerk isn’t absorbing anyone for a while.

But Sirrus’ smile faded as he saw his ragtag army fall, blown away by the sheer force of Bleeko’s power.

BLEEKO- I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS GAME!!! IF THE WARNERS DON’T SHOW THEMSELVES BY THE COUNT OF THREE, I WILL DESTROY THIS WHOLE STUDIO!
SIRRUS- You’ll have to defeat me first, pal!

Sirrus transformed himself to Super Warner form, and charged in.

SIRRUS- You’ll never get my siblings!
BLEEKO- And who’s going to stop me? You?
SIRRUS- You got it, buddy!!!

Sirrus charges in, ready to draw first blood, but is instead knocked back by Bleeko’s fist.

BLEEKO- If that’s all you’ve got, I’m not impressed.
SIRRUS- Oh, just you wait, creep.

Sirrus begins to power up again, and his muscles grow slightly, his scales turn whiter, and his stripes become more silvery, while retaining some gold. Sirrus had ascended to Super Warner 2.

SIRRUS- Now the real battle begins!
BLEEKO- Very well. Let’s go!

The two charged in, and entered a fierce fist fight. Meanwhile....

SKY, AFTERNOON.

Blinko, still flying towards the studio, sensed a massive energy pattern, knowing it was Sirrus!

BLINKO- Whoa! Sirrus powered up? I guess my training for him really paid off! But, he’s still no match for Bleeko! I gotta get there and fast! Time for Hyperspeed!

And in Star Trek fashion, Blinko goes into warp drive, toward the studio! Speaking of which, Bleeko and Sirrus continue the fight, and Sirrus is still holding his own.

SIRRUS- I’d say you’re a good fighter, but then I’d be lying!
BLEEKO- I was just about to say the same thing.

Bleeko then charges another Evil’s Howl, but Sirrus charges a move of his own, comprised of fire, and energy.

BLEEKO- DIE NOW, LIZARD!!!

Bleeko fires his attack, but Sirrus smiles and thrusts his hand forward.

SIRRUS- I don’t think so. DRAGON FLARE!

A beam of fire shoots from Sirrus’ hand, stopping the Evil’s Howl, and pushing it back. Eventually, the two attacks hit Bleeko full force.

SIRRUS- Nice try, doofus.

But, when the smoke cleared, Sirrus saw, that though his clothes were tattered, Bleeko was still alive.
BLEEKO- Please. You call that an attack? I’ll admit that you were lucky to push my attack back, but that’s all it was...LUCK! Now, where are the Warners?
SIRRUS- I’ll never tell you! If you want them, you’ll get them over my cold, unmoving, limited animation body!
BLEEKO- If you mean, “Over your dead body,” I’ll be happy to oblige.

Now the fight turns to Bleeko’s advantage, as he charges in and pounds the living daylights out of Sirrus.

BLEEKO- Now...you....will...tell...me..where....they...are!

Sirrus, weak, but still strong in resolve, says only one thing.

SIRRUS- Never.
BLEEKO (Enraged)- FINE! I guess I’ll just have to destroy you!

Bleeko charges a small ball in his palm, but before he can use it, he’s stopped by a voice.

???- STOP!

Bleeko turns, seeing Yakko Warner, alone.

YAKKO- If you’ll stop hurting my sib, I’ll give myself up. No tricks.

Bleeko is a little confused.

BLEEKO- Really? No tricks?
YAKKO- None whatsoever.

Bleeko smiles and drops Sirrus.

BLEEKO- You’ve got a deal.
YAKKO- Okay, and a deals a deal. You dropped Sirrus, so I’m yours.
BLEEKO- Good. Now, give me your hand.

Yakko raises his eyebrow, and holds his hand outward, in accordance to Bleeko’s command. Bleeko latches on....only to receive an electric shock!!! Bleeko pulls his hand away in anger, showing Yakko with a Megavolt Buzzer.

YAKKO- Hey, I said no tricks, I never said, no gags!
BLEEKO- YOU! THAT’S IT!
SIRRUS- Way to go, Yakko!

Bleeko then grabs Yakko by the throat.

BLEEKO- Now, this won’t hurt a bit.

Suddenly, Yakko screams in pain, as Bleeko’s hand emits a powerful draining charge though his body.

BLEEKO- IT’LL HURT A LOT!
SIRRUS- No!

Sirrus manages to get up, but too late. Yakko is already drained completely, and thrown to the ground. Bleeko once again begins to transform, but this change is different. You can actually hear his heart beating, as his muscles pulse, his eyes turn bloody-red, his hair spikes up, and grows, and his ears slowly recede, becoming more wolfish. His armor strains to keep his growing muscles in, and his tail becomes bushier, and his teeth sharpen. All around him, the studio shakes, and he laughs cruelly. Then the transformation ends, leaving him with muscle like Arnold, 6 inches taller, and with a more wolfish appearance.

BLEEKO- My first transformation is complete! Now, all I need are two more, and I will be perfect!

Sirrus has had enough. He gets up. He just saw a Warner absorb his own sib, to grow stronger!

SIRRUS- I won’t let you....get away with this!

Suddenly, energy begins to whip around Sirrus’ form, as he grows a few inches himself, and his muscles grow bigger.

BLEEKO- Hmm?
SIRRUS- You’re going to pay for this!

Then, Sirrus’ body begins to glow, as his scales turn pure white, and his stripes become silver.

SIRRUS- YOU.....WILL...PAY!

Then, an explosion, and a shining light. Bleeko covers his eyes.

BLEEKO- What’s going on here!

Blinko feels the energy as well.

BLINKO- Whoa! Sirrus must be pretty ticked to get that powered up! He must be ascending to the next level!

Then, the light clears, revealing Sirrus, with longer claws, muscle that matches Blinko’s in Super Warner 3, and the head frills of an alpha Velociraptor.

BLEEKO- What? You’ve...
SIRRUS- Ascended. I am Super Warner 3 now, AND YOU’RE FINISHED!

DBZ- Now, the fight’s getting interesting! But can the new and improved Sirrus take on the stronger Bleeko, till Blinko makes it to the studio? Find out on the next episode of DUAL FATES!
