Zodiac Chase

[weaselsrock]

Yep, that's Megavolt.I wonder who the other Zodiac Animals are?

[julayla]

Yeah, looks like things are starting to get more interesting. Keep it up!

[Veggirl]

Well then, here is the next chapter!

Chapter 6

Evening was coming into Toontown. A black van drove near a huge mountain and stopped. The weasels got out from the van and looked up.
“So...this is the hideout?” Psycho said. Smart Guy nodded. “Seems like it.”
Kovu leapt out from the back of the van. “Come on guys! Lets go!”
Smart Guy grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. “Not yet, kid! You have to stay here and guard the van while we go in.”
Kovu glared at him. “What can I do there?”
“If something seems fishy, honk the horn.” Smart Guy told him.
Kovu sighed. “Okay, fine!” He stalked back to the van. Hester got out from the van and went over to the weasels. “Ready for this?”
The weasels nodded.
“Well then, come on!” Hester said, going off. The weasels and the cat went near the mountain and came upon a small vent. Greasy got out his switchblade and pried the vent open. Smart
Guy was about to go in when Hester stopped him. “Cats first!” He padded into the dark vent.
Smart Guy frowned. “Hmph! Cats first?” He growled as he followed. The vents were dark and smelly inside. They went up higher and higher, until they were above the ground.
“Lucky for you guys, you have me around.” Hester said. “Cats can see better in the dark.”
“Well whoopee for you!” Wheezy growled. “How long do we have to crawl?”
Hester then made a signal to stop. “We’re near a vent above a hall that leads to the prison cells.”
He announced. “Greasy, switchblade!” Greasy shoved over to the front of the line and pried the vent open once again. Hester looked down at hallway. He twitched his ears. “No one out there.
C’mon, lets go.”
The weasels and the cat dropped into the hall and went around the corner where they bumped into two of the pirates. They stood there, thinking of a plan. Suddenly, Psycho grinned and
began to clap his hands. Wheezy began doing the same thing. To the pirate’s amazement, they began to do-si-do with them. Wheezy began to sing.

“Well, swing to the left and swing to the right,
Do-si-do all day and night!
Turn your partner, give a shout.
Swing your partner and knock him out!”

Wheezy and Psycho swung the two pirates toward each other. They were knocked out in two minutes flat. Smart Guy prodded them.
“Good, that should keep them asleep. Now onto rescue Roger.”

[julayla]

Hooray! Looks like they're almost to Roger! I hope they get him out of there in time.

[weaselsrock]

Can't wait for the next chapter!!

[Veggirl]

Well of course! Here is the next chapter.

Chapter 7

Roger sat on the cell bed, rocking back and forth. “Okay Roger old pal, what do you do now? Escape, that’’s it. But how?”
“Meal time.” The guard said, going over to the cell door with some carrot sticks. Roger went over to the cell.
“What’s a guy like you doing here? Why not go with the other pirates?”
“I’m the cell guard.” The pirate said. “No plane.”
“Well if you let me out, I can get you one.” Roger offered.
“Really?!” The pirate said, eyes widening.
“Sure!” Roger said. “Just get the keys and let me out!”
“Okie-Dokie!” The pirate said, racing away.

Hester poked his head out from the corner. He ducked back. “Guard coming! Get ready!”
Stupid raised his baseball bat, ready to strike. The guard came around.
WHACK!
The guard fell to the floor, unconscious.
“Good job Stupid!” Smart Guy said. “Now we gotta stash the stiff into the closet!”
Greasy, Wheezy and Stupid dragged the unconscious guard to the closet while Smart Guy, Psycho and Hester went over to the cell door.

Roger stood ready near the doorway with a metal pipe. “All right Roger,” He told himself. “Once he opens the door, whack his head, then run like crazy!”
The door open.
“Well Roger, we finally found you and——”
WHAM!
Roger dropped his metal pipe and raced off, out of the pirate’s lair, and into Toontown and racing towards home.
“That’s the last time anyone else is gonna call me——”
Roger skidded to a stop. “Guys?!”
Roger raced back, out of Toontown, into the pirate’s lair and back into the cell room.
Roger stared at them. “Is that really you?!”
Smart Guy sat up, rubbing a bump on his head. “Who do you think it was? The pizza man?!”
Roger walked over to them. “Sorry! I thought you were the pirates!”
Wheezy went over to Roger. “Now Roger, we need to get outta here, so get into this sack.”
He held open a gunnysack. Roger looked at him. “How is it going to help us?”
“We’ll dress up as pirates and pretend you and Hester are our valuable treasure.” Smart Guy explained. “Now get in.”
“Are you sure?”
“‘Course I’m sure! Now get in!”
Roger shrugged. “O-kay.” He crawled into the sack. Smart Guy tied it up.
“Okay Hester, you’re turn.”

[julayla]

Looks like they rescued Roger! Hooray! But I have a bad feeling about the next chapter.

[Cobrawolf]

Yay.

[Veggirl]

Here is the next chapter!

Chapter 8

Smart Guy lifted his eyepatch from his left eye. They were near the pirate’s cavern where the pirates were gathered around to listen to Don Karnage’’s plan. He looked over at his pirate gang.
“Ready?”
They all nodded. Slowly, they stepped in.
“Now all my pinheaded pirates,” Don Karnage announced. “Ratchet had finally made a successful machinery to capture the zodiac animals! My fellow pirates, I present...” He
uncovered the machine. It was a huge machine with a front like a needle and great wires. The pirates did sounds of ooh and ahh.
“The Zodiac Catcher 300!” Don said. “All thanks to Ratchet and ‘Machinery for Dummies.”
“But what are we gonna do with the animals, boss?” Mad Dog asked.
"Are we going to rob them?" Dumptruck asked.
"No, no, no!" Don Karnage snapped. "We are going to plunder them!"
"But wait," Dumptruck said. "Aren't we robbers?"
"No we are not robbers!" Don Karnage said. "We are pirates! PIRATES! PIRATES! PIRATES! How often do I have to remind you?!"
Don Karnage raced over to the furnace and lit it up more.
He slammed the oven door shut and casted a long shadow over the light and began to sing.

I am a pirate!
I am a pirate!
Suave and dashing, sabers flashing,
Bodies crashing, molars gnashing!
What a pleasure,
Seeking treasure!
All the stealing, and concealing,
And the keeling, what a feeling!
Ah-ha-hah!

Take the sky by thunder!
(Thu-under!)
It is so wonderful to plunder!
(Plu-under!)
When a village needs a pillage,
And my pockets need a fillage,
You know what I'm saying?

We are pi-rates!
Sky pi-rates!

The weasels tried to escape through a side door but were caught in the dancing. What else could they do? They had to dance along. Mad Dog began to sing. After that, Dumptruck.

Just think of all the people we can cheat!
What a great career,
As a buccaneer!
It keeps us in the air and off the street!
Off the street!

We are pi-rates!
Sky pi-rates!
We're as good at being bad as bad can get!
And the biggest prize,
Stands before our eyes,
To capture all those pretty talismans
Talismans!
Talismans!!
Talismans!!!

"One more time!" Stupid cheered.
There was silence.
“Wait un segundo!” Don Karange said. “Only I am allowed to say, ‘One more time!’”
Mad Dog pointed at Stupid. “It was him Captain! I heard him! Him! Him!”
“Bring them to me!” Don snapped. “I will teach them what to say!”

[julayla]

All right, I love the way you parodied the Air Pirates song (sorta) and lol on Stupid wanting to sing it once more. Anyway, I have a bad feeling about the next chapter.

[weaselsrock]

That song is pretty catchy!!

[Veggirl]

Here is the other chapter! One more chapter, and the story will be finished.

Chapter 9

The weasels were pushed towards Don. Don Karnage glared at them.
“Nobody but I, say ‘One more time’ during my song! Well, what have you’ve got to say for yourself?!”
Psycho spoke up. “Well uh Captain, we just——”
“Uno momento!” Don Karnage said. “You are the weasel that destroyed the talisman! Which means these pinheaded fake pirates are your amigos!”
Smart Guy’s sack began to move.
“Hey Smart Guy, can I get out now please?” Roger poked his head out.
Don’s eyes widened. “They’re stealing the rabbit talisman! Get them!”
Smart Guy threw Roger into the air. “Run Roger! Get out! Get away!”
Roger landed on the hard floor. He looked up. The pirates were surrounding him! Roger jumped up and ran. His feet were like a blur as he raced in circles, zig-zags, up and down to confuse the pirates. Hester scrambled out from his sack and raced toward three pirates. He skidded in front of them and got out his bat. He began to chant and wave his bat slowly.
“Perros malos, vayan ya! Perros malos vayan ya!”
The pirates blinked at him, then burst out laughing.
“Haha! Look what that cat is doing!”
“Ha! Who does he think he is? A magician?”
“More like a clown!”
Hester narrowed his eyes and chanted louder.
“PERROS MALOS, VAYAN YA! PERROS MALOS, VAYAN YA!”
The pirates laughed and took a step toward Hester. Suddenly, a black figure came swooping down from the ceiling. The pirates were knocked out as Fidget landed on top of them. Hester
blinked.
“Fidget! You can fly?”
Fidget tested his wings. “Sure feels like it! Maybe your potion worked Hester.”
Hester grinned at the small magic bat. “And maybe also my magic spell.” He raced over to another set of pirates.
The weasels were back to back with each other facing the pirates.
“There’s too many of them boss!” Psycho said. “What do we do?”
Smart Guy glared at the pirates. “We go down like true soldiers! Now lets go boys!”
The weasels yelled and were about to leap in when suddenly their black van came zooming into the room. Kovu poked his head out from the window.
“Did somebody called a van or what?”
“Kovu!” The weasels said.
Kovu waved. “Come on guys! We gotta go now!” Roger raced into the van and got in. Hester and Fidget raced over and climbed in behind Roger. The weasels raced toward the van.
“What about the machine?!” Psycho shouted.
“We’ll deal with it some other time!” Smart Guy said. “Right now, we gotta escape!”
He leapt into the driver’s seat and turned the wheel. The van screeched into a U-turn and drove out of the cavern.
“Turn right around that corner!” Kovu said. Smart Guy turned the wheel to the right.
“Straight ahead, there’s the exit!” Kovu said.
“Hold on guys!” Smart Guy said. “Here we go!”
He slammed onto the pedals. The van lurched forward and crashed out of the pirate’s lair.

[weaselsrock]

Kool!!Fidget can fly!!!Can't wait for the last chapter!!

[julayla]

Hooray! Fidgit can fly and they have escaped. Great job on this!

[Veggirl]

Here's the last and final chapter. ;D

Chapter 10

Stupid poked his head out from the window and looked up at the sky.
“Duh...boss?”
“Yeah?” Smart Guy said, concentrating on the road.
“There are pirates up in the sky! They’re following us!”
There was a sound of bullets and a bunch of holes appeared on the van.
“They’re shooting at us!” Roger yelped.
“Just calm down!” Smart Guy said. “We’ll make it!”
“But the valley is like miles away!” Kovu said. “By that time, we’re gonna be pirate’s meat!”
Smart Guy gripped the steering wheel tighter, racking his brain for a solution. Then, an idea came up.
“Roger!”
“Huh?”
“Roger, we need to use your speed powers to make it to the valley.”
Roger’s eyes widened. “You mean I gotta get out and run?!”
“Hey, you have the power of speed!” Greasy said.
Roger gulped. “Well...”
There was another blast of bullets.
“All right all right!” Roger yelped, climbing into the back. From the mirror, Smart Guy saw the back doors open and Roger poking his head out. Then, gripping the back bumper, Roger leaped down onto the road and began to run forward. Smart Guy felt himself thrown back as the van lurched forward. His eyes watered and he felt the wind blow through his face as the van went like a cheetah. Suddenly, it lurched to a stop. Smart Guy looked around. They were in a grassy compound with mountains all around them. Above, the sky was filled with clouds. To the far right was a lake and to the far left was a huge tree with fruit. Smart Guy looked at Hester.
“Are we safe?”
Hester nodded. “The valley is too far up for the pirates to follow. Plus, can you hear any planes?”
Smart Guy tilted his head to one side. “No, I don’t.”
“There you have it!” Hester said. “We’re perfectly safe!”
The weasels got out of the van and went to the back. Roger was leaning on the van, panting.
“Good job Roger!” Psycho said. “We got away from them thanks to you!”
“Yeah.” Roger panted. “Gee, that was the fastest I had ever ran! I need a rest.”
And with that, he fell on the grass.

Smart Guy flipped through the log book two days later. He stopped at Roger’s page and frowned at the photo of him. He wrote down:

ZODIAC ANIMAL: Rabbit
TOON: Roger Rabbit
POWER: Super speed
SAFE: Yes

Hester then came stalking in the room.
“I just checked on Roger a little while later.” He said. “He’s racing all over the valley trying out his new power.”
“You sure that valley is safe, Hester?”
“Of course I’m sure!” There’s lots of fruit trees, a lake with clean water, plus mountains all around the valley. Roger will be perfectly safe.”
“But what about Jessica?”
“No to worry. We will allow visiting time. Somewhere between three to six. Oh, and Roger is already testing out his new powers by running laps around the valley.”
“They gotta practice their powers?”
“Yeah. The more they practice, the more they get better at it.”
Smart Guy nodded.
“That sounds good.”
“One more thing!” Hester said. He then swiped a paw over Smart Guy’s ear.
“Ow!” Smart Guy yelped.
“Get searching!” Hester said. “You guys still have 11 more Zodiac Animals to find in all of Toontown!”
Smart Guy groaned.

THE END

FOR NOW.
