Chapter 7: New Minions of Scourge

The playtime has been fun, but soon it came to an end...because Xion is now in bed, sleeping with her toys tucked in next to her. Mickey, Minnie and Figaro woke up right near her, with the male mouse commenting, "I had a dream that Tommy was still a kid, and he owned many of the mutant toys Melvin had, and all of us had various misadventures with those toys."

After making sure that Xion is still sleeping, the trio carefully slipped under the covers, and begins walking off. Xion stirs, moving an arm and forcing them to freeze, legs in the air. Luckily, the girl went back to sleep. The toys quietly tiptoe across the bed and look around. Now, if only to find some way of knowing where they are and how to get back to Tommy's.

Figaro meows quietly, motioning to Xion's backpack that is hanging over the door handle. He and the mice pushes a chair to the door which Mickey uses to climb up, lifting a scrap to find an address.

"1124 Sycamore." Mickey whispers to Minnie, finding the address.

"Right, now we just..." Minnie said quietly, planning on finding Tommy's address from here.

"Suffering Succotash!" A familiar voice exclaims, making the three toys turn to see Xion's toys watching, along with Sylvester the one who spoke, from the bed. "What are you three doing?"

"Are you sneaking for a bedtime snack?" Phobos ask hopefully. "If so, get something for me!"

"No, I don't think they're going for a snack, Phobos." Ben said to Phobos in concern. "We're toys so we can't eat. They do don't look happy..."

"Ben's right. Listen, Minnie, Figaro and I has to get out of here." Mickey explains to the toys. They gasp in surprise and concern. After all that great time of playing with Xion today, their new friends wish to leave?

"Wait, you want to leave?" Wing ask in worry.

"But didn't you three have fun today?" Ben10magician ask in concern.

"Don't y'all like us anymore?" Apple Bloom ask in sadness, giving out a cute eyes that could melt someone's heart if that's the case.

"Oh, it's not that we didn't have any fun...and we like you all. You gave us more fun than we had in years." Minnie explains to her new friends with a sigh. "We don't have anything against Xion, she is a great kid, and we enjoyed having fun with her and you all."

"The truth be told, we belong to someone else already." Mickey explains as he held up one of shoes, showing the name 'Tommy' on it.

"Who's 'Ymmot'?" Ben10magician ask confused as he looks at the name, probably because of the fact that it's upside down.

"I believe it's pronounced 'Ym-mot'." Sylvester said to Ben10magician quite clearly.

"No, no, it's upside down." Furball explains to his mentor, pointing out that the name is upside down.

"He's right, it's actually 'Tommy', Mickey, Minnie and Figaro belonged to a boy named Tommy." Namine explains clearly to Sylvester as to what the name is.

"As in Tommy Pickles, that Tifa knows very well." Hooded explains as to which Tommy that Mickey is referring to.

"Yes, we've heard of Tommy Pickles of years past." Luna said, recalling the name of Tommy Pickles. Turning back to the newcomers, she ask, "And you wish to return to him, correct?"

"Yes, Princess Luna. Tommy will be going to college soon and we have to get home." Mickey explains to Luna that he, Minnie and Figaro must get back to Tommy's place before he leaves.

"Where's home?" Speedy ask curiously, wondering where the mice and cat lives at.

"It's on Oak Street 267 Oak. Any chance you guys got a map?"

"Listen, everyone, I know you are all sad that they want to leave, they understand that. But they must return to their true owner. It's important." Hooded explains clearly to his friends who look sad. They of course all understand the predicament.

"Hmm, well, if our new friends wishes to return to the boy that they still care for, then we shall do our best to help them get back." Celestia said as the other toys nod in agreement.

"Yes, we're on it." Namine said to her friends with a smile. "Wing?"

"Right, I'll make sure Tifa isn't using the computer and get it ready to go." Wing said with a small smirk.

Mickey, Minnie and Figaro gave happy smiles. Their new friends are willing to help them get back to Tommy. They will be back home in no time at all!

-------------

Meanwhile, the scene changes from peaceful times to hard times...As it shows Bugs cringes as the sock is pulled off his head. Not just with the rabbit, but with Penelope, Daffy and Porky too as the space toys find themselves in a storage closet tied to four toy chairs opposite of north, south, west and east with an overhead bulb hanging over. The captors are nearby, as if either to torture or interrogate these toys, or maybe even both.

"Nice job rabbit, now look at what you got us into?" Daffy remarked off in seeing what trouble they got from following this rabbit into unfamiliar territory.

"Bu-bu-but Daffy, it wasn't his fault!" Porky pointed out to say this in Bugs's defense.

"Bugs, if you got a plan to get us out of here, now be a pretty good time to spring into action." Penelope issued off to her friend to help them out.

"Brother, I've seen films with this action, they'll torture us...with what horrors, it is best to be left unsaid." Daffy expressed in feeling that the horrors awaiting them are best left unspoken.

"Release us, you jerks! I want to talk to Scourge!" Bugs demands angrily to Newt's group.

Starscream smacks Bugs as he snaps, "SHUT UP!"

"Okay, I'm shuttin' up! Why should I continue to blabber when I'm told to shut up? I'm not the kinda guy who don't know when to stop."

Starscream smacks Bugs again while yelling, "Shut up shuttin' up!"

"Silence, Bugs Bunny and whoever the rest of you are!" Newt snaps at Bugs and pals sternly. "We'll be the ones who decided when and where you can speak to Scourge...and you don't so..." The guy was about to lose the deal that these toys won't see the hedgehog running this daycare, but...

"Newt?" A familiar voice was heard across the room sounding surprised. The group of captors and captives turn to see Scourge, opening the door, coming into the room while looking surprised upon seeing what's going on. "What is going on here? Why is this toy bunch all tied up for?" Scourge asked off in not understanding this display of rough housing.

"Would you believe they invited us to play musical chairs?" Daffy remarked off to joke this whole scene.

"He got out somehow, Scourge! Him and his squad pals! We were about to..." Newt was explaining about Bugs and his team that got out of where they were placed before about to teach them a lesson until this interruption...

"Got out? About to...no, no, no, this isn't how we treat our guests, you know that!" Scourge exclaims slowly in surprise in realizing what this scene was telling him as he came over to Bugs & his pals' aid. Course Scourges' boys just groan when the old hedgehog begins untying the space rabbit toy. They were about to get to the best part too! "Dear goodness, and of all the wild pranks." Soon Bugs and friends were released, allowing the rabbit and pals to get out of the chair. "There, you're freed now. Sorry about that. My boys tend to do that, even to newcomer toys from time to time. Back in the day, it was a fun prank, but kinda grown out of it. So what brings you out here?" Scourge explained off them understanding motion of what has happened here was something he doesn't do while wondering what brings this group here.

"Well doc. as it turns out...we're here about a mistake." Bugs was slowly glaring angrily at Newt in not letting this memory slip while getting down to business.

"A mistake? Whatever do you mean?" Scourge asked off in what this space rabbit was talking about.

"Those kids in the Caterpillar Room that you sent us and our friends to?" Penelope spoke out in getting straight to business about their problem that seems to be maintained.

"Right! They are not age-appropriate for us! They are all destructible and unable to know how to play with toys like us...and brother, I've seen things no duck should ever in a toy's life see..." Daffy explained forth in making this stated claim of being handled by such rough kids.

"So we came to revalu-at-t-t-te...We respectfully ask that we be transfer to the Butterfly Room." Porky was trying to state a change of location.

"Ah, say no more, say no more. I know where you're going at here." Scourge respond to Bugs and friends in hearing their words, gesturing happily. "Your request is granted." He stated this that the simple solution shall be done.

"Wait, but Scourge..." Newt begins to say in concern, but Scourge cut him off.

"Now pipe down, Newt! This toy has shown initiative, leadership! Heck, I think we found ourselves one good keeper! Everyone, hear that? We got a keeper!"

Scourge held up one of Bugs's arms as if he's became a champion.

"A keeper? But Scourge he got out, I'm thinking Starscream didn't make sure all exits were closed!" Newt said not liking the idea of Bugs being named a keeper over breaking a law.

"Indeed but I think Starscream did so to prove that he is worthy, right Starscream?" Scourge said smiling.

"Oh...y-yes exactly...let's go with that..." Starscream said nodding.

"Why don't you head back to the Caterpillar Room, we'll finish up here" Scourge said and Starscream nods quickly, leaving the room.

Most of the gang cheers wildly while applauding. Looks like they has found a new toy for the Butterfly Room. Now Bugs looks speechless, which the others shared, a while ago, these guys (minus Scourge) were about to do something terrible to Bugs and his squad, now they're acting like he's their new friend with special members included.

"We're moving you up to the Big Leagues now." Scourge said off this as he smile while placing an arm around Bugs' shoulder. "You can have anything you want from now on, I guarantee it."

"Anything we want? Does this include meeting pretty ducks that will like me?" Daffy asked off in cashing in on a golden opportunity.

"May-may-maybe I could meet someone too!" Porky spoke out in also asking for something to.

"Settle down you guys, we're just got out of a pickle here, remember?" Penelope stated in not forgetting how Newt and the others may have done something to maybe fool Scourge into putting them in a toddler room in the first place.

"Penelope's right, but this is still good news. For a minute, we almost thought an evil ploy was under foot." Bugs stated off with a smile over the matter. "Well Scourge, we'll get the rest of our pals now, I'm sure they will..." But before Bugs could finish, something cut him off.

"Hey now. Hold on there. No offense but I'm afraid the invite is for you only, and your space buds too. Those Caterpillar kids will need some toys to play with and your friends are the likely candidates to do so." Scourge stops Bugs sentence in wanting to take the rest of his friends out of that room to, as the invitation was meant for those here.

"As-say-say, say what now?" Porky yelps in having heard this out of nowhere.

"Now wait a second, my pals don't belong there! Scourge, you gotta know that!" Bugs was speaking out in trying to say he can't just forget his pals to stay and be mistreated.

"Neither do most of us, but you see, our room is only for toys who are special and, well, don't take this the wrong way, but your friends don't fit in that category." Scourge said with a sad sigh, making Bugs frown a bit.

"But surely you’re not saying that our friends aren't 'special' to belong in the Butterfly Room or to insult them, so to speak." Penelope asked off in hoping that isn't what is being discussed here.

"Of course not. But for the good of our community, we also ask that the newer toys, as well as stronger ones deal with the hardships that the rest of us can't deal with anymore. And you see, those kids need some toys to play with. You wouldn't want to make them sad by taking your friends out of there to leave them with nothing, would you?" Scourge spoke off in mentioning this wisely old hedgehog view that old toys that can't withstand such things, they need help from newer toys to make the children happy.

"Well gee doc, guess I never thought of it like that." Bugs said in thought and concern. If Scourge said that it wouldn't be fair to take the other toys out of the Caterpillar Room and keep kids from playing with something...every child has to have something to play with.

"Then you see what one must do." Scourge stated in knowing that his point was made clear.

"Sorry doc, I'm gonna have to refuse. Your offer sounds great and all, like a dream come true...but our friends are like our family. We can't be separated no matter what." Bugs firmly spoke in being honest about what they must do to stick with the rest of Tommy's old toys.

"Bugs, are you nuts....think about it....this means more toddler terror!" Daffy spoke off in shock of what the rabbit was saying.

"An-an-and would you want them to learn what horrible thing you did to be mad at you?" Porky asked Daffy if he was alright in making such a gamble choice of good life and friends.

"Well....okay, fine, I suppose I rather not lose the only friends I had over the years either." Daffy sighs off in defeat to give in here.

"We hope you understand our reason Scourge, we don't wanna do something out of being selfish against our own family." Penelope stated to explain this to the old hedgehog here.

However, none of Bugs's group noticed that Scourge's smile fades, being replaced by that of dark & upset expression of his nature. It's as if the word 'family' has upset the guy for some unknown reason.

"Oh, a family bunch, eh? Well, I understand, completely now." Scourge said as if accepting Bugs refusal at first. Then he said sharply to the other toys here. "Put him and his pals back in the Time-Out Chair!" He gave off the orderly without blinking an eye.

Without warning, Big Fat Baby grabs Bugs, slamming the Rabbit toy back into the Time-Toy chair, much to his horror. Then the other toys quickly caught Daffy, Porky and Penelope off guard to be put back in the same spot.

"What's going on?" Porky asked off surprised by this action.

"Scourge, we thought you would understand the refusal!" Penelope asked off in what was the meaning of this.

"Alright docs, what are you doing with us now?" Bugs demands this off as Big Fat Baby ties him back up. "Let go of me and my team, Scourge!" The brave space rabbit snapped in demand.

"Sorry, but you're too good to let go easily. I guess we will have to do this our way. Which when I said I stop doing such old pranks...I found something better to do." Scourge issued off with a sly cruel grin. "Get...Marvin the Martian." Newt nods of in hearing the order as he whistles suddenly, as if summoning someone for their evil work.

"Found it!" Someone is heard speaking from a shelf above the bad guys a while later. A row of files are cluttered as a black bowling head toy with a green tot and gladiator helmet guy appeared who was known as Marvin the Martian.

"Wait, you have a Martian in this library?" Daffy asked a daffy question here which was ignored.

Marvin toss the small booklet down to Scourge. The green hedgehog opens the booklet and looks through it with Bugs and friends watching nearby in horror. It's the Instruction Manual for the space rabbit. What was Scourge and his pals going to do to Bugs?

"Let's see...Accessories...Maintenance...oh found it; 'Remove screws to get access to battery compartment...'" Scourge read the thing in finding what he wanted to know.

Big Fat Baby then pushes Bugs down to hold the rabbit while his back is exposed. Bender then took out a screwdriver electrical toy while coming over.

"One drill bit, coming up!" Bender issued off to say, as he uses the screwdriver to remove the screws from the rabbit toy's panel, making him scream in alarm.

"Oh my, oh dear me, oh my!" Porky yelps in watching what was happening thus far.

"Stop this, what are you going to do to him?" Penelope snapped off in not understanding this torture method.

"Now...'to return your Bugs Action Figure to its original settings, simply set the switch from 'Play' to 'Demo'...'" Scourge said this off with a cocky expression as he reads from the instruction booklet some more before nodding.

Taz opens the panel and finds the mode switch which is on 'Play' mode. The Tasmanian Devil nods in finding this as he reach for the switch, ready to push it to 'Demo'.

"This is horrible...despicable...it can't get much worse." Daffy expressed the horror of this act, can things be any worse for them?

"Oh goody, I found the other three manuals too!" Marvin the Martian spoke out in showing the same story manuals...for Daffy, Porky, and Penelope: much to their own horrors.

"Mother...." Daffy expressed new feats of horror on his face.

"Not to worry, Bugs, you won't remember a thing once we're done here. And the same could be said for your space pals too." Scourge mentions this off as a bright side of things.

"Oh no Mac. Not that. No, no, no!" Bugs exclaimed off, as he struggles in Big Fat Baby's hold in terror. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" We hear the rabbit's voice in his final moment.

This was just before Taz flips the switch on Bug's mode compartment, all of the Space rabbit's world went black. And soon a dark shadow overcame Daffy, Porky and Penelope as they stared in silent horror when they too...followed in the same path...

-----------------------------------

The rest of Tommy's toys sat near the Caterpillar Room door in concern. Bugs and his team has been gone for a long time now. Where could they even be? Suddenly, a far off distant scream is heard, making them turn in alarm.

"Wait a second, what was that?" Lola asked off in sounding worried.

"Sounds like...it's coming from the hall!" Iago exclaimed off in where the sound came from.

"You don't think something happened?" Spike asked off in feeling concerned now.

"Man, if only we could see." Oswald stated that they wish they could see what was happening.

"Let me see what it was, my eye can help." Daisy said off in offering to help here.

Daisy goes to the door and removes her remaining eye. The female duck hold it under the door, sweeps the thing back and forth to look in the hallway outside.

The toys gather around Daisy Duck in hoping she can tell them what was happening. Unknown also felt concern, believing if what they get was something bad, he may have to go off to help save Bugs and friends.

"Did you see anything?" Lola asked the duck if she could spot anything.

"No...just a dark hallway and..." Daisy answers off to say, as all she could see is a dark and empty hallway. Suddenly the duck toy gasps as a vision of the owner she and her friends soon appears over the dark hallway. "Wait, hang on, I see Tommy!" It's true, she was seeing the boy they belong to.

"Wait, what?" Lola asked off surprised to hear this.

"That's impossible!" Donald exclaim in shock and disbelief. The other toys can't believe it. How could Tommy be at the daycare? The whole place is closed and locked up for the night!

"No, I see him...in his room!" Daisy exclaim in realization of what was happening. "Of course, my other eye! It's the one I left behind!" The mother duck lost her eye and is seeing through it again.

"That would make sense, you are looking at where both eyes show you what they see, even when further apart." Nicole stated a theory of what this moment explains something of seeing Tommy out in the bloom.

Apparently at this moment, Daisy Duck is seeing Tommy through the other eye which she has lost in his room before the gang came here earlier. The duck toy focus to see clearly what is going on.

----------------

We now see, from Daisy's eye's POV, a bunch of college boxes piled up by the open door. Tommy himself is carrying another box, preparing for college most likely.

"Very weird. He's packing up and..." Daisy explains to her voice while the scene plays out. Suddenly she notices a familiar dog sniffing under the bed and right towards the eye, blocking her view. "Uh oh, here comes Spike, the dog I mean! Go on, get out of the way, move," The duck was scolding even though she's not there personally.

The dog Spike yawns and turns as he leaves, allowing Daisy to see better; the duck toy will continue to speak of what she sees.

"All right, much better. This will help me see more." She now sees Tommy looking in the attic via the ladder, looking around in concern. Deedee appears, Daisy continues the talk. "Tommy is now is in the hall, looking in the attic. I see his mom. Wait, why is he so upset?" The duck girl ponders this in confusion.

As said, we see Tommy looks worried as he gestures to his mom, as if saying 'I left my toys right here'. Deedee shrugs as if having no idea what her son is on about. Frustrated, the boy picks up a trash bag as if explaining something. The woman suddenly looks shocked to gasp lightly as she realized something, making her hands fly to her face in guilt. Tommy slaps his forehead as he realizes that his mom has made the biggest mistake ever without checking.

"Oh my word, not good, this is terrible!" Daisy exclaim in horror and realization of what she saw. From the reaction Tommy and Deedee showed can only mean one thing and it involves her and her friends!

Things go blank and wobble from Daisy Dick's vision from her other eye during the time; but she saw what she needed to see...

-------------------------

Daisy Duck was seen putting her eye back in her head while everyone was hearing the toy out. "You guys, Tommy is looking for us; he really is!" She explained to the others grimly of the shocking news.

"Wait, so Tommy is looking for us?" Lola asked Daisy Duck in shock and surprise.

"Why would Tommy be looking for us, his toys that he threw out?" Oswald asked off in not truly getting this.

"Unless...he never wanted to throw any of us out at all! This evidence proves what happened was a simple misunderstanding." Nicole issued off in seeing that from Daisy Duck, she help unraveled a mystery about what happened to them.

"So then, Tommy does want us! Oh boy, oh boy, I just knew it!" Willie laughs happily as he grabs a duck triplet, dancing with him like a happy toy.

"So that means Tommy really did mean to put us in the attic! All along!" Daisy Duck exclaimed off in more realization and guilt over this news.

"Gawrsh! Then Mickey, Minnie, Unknown were telling the truth!" Goofy exclaimed in sadness and guilt over this discovery.

"It was said that you would learn the truth to know the hard way, the boy would never forsake any of those he loves." Unknown stated off to mention here.

"Wow, that's deep thinking there." Pinkamena responded to what their friend said.

Pretty much, the toys that were in denial were now feeling guilty. All this time, Tommy was intending on putting them in the attic and they thought he was tossing them out! Worst yet, Mickey and those that knew the truth this whole time tried to explain, but the gang has chosen not to believe them. What bad friends they turned out to be.

"Holy quackers." Donald said with a groan of guilt coming over him.

"And to think, you didn't believed him." Iago snaps at Donald in accusation over who's to blame.

"What! Bwahahahah....You didn't believe him first, birdbrain!" Donald went into a feat of rage of being given the blame.

"We gotta...we gotta go home." Lola exclaim in determination of what they need do. "To think Mickey and Minnie were right to the end before heading off. Tommy still cares for us all along." She couldn't believe how wrong they were.

"Well better late than never." Applejack honestly stated this off of the case.

"Yeah, now we know that Tommy is one loyal pal." Rainbow Dash issued off to say this.

"I think some those here need serious apologia afterwards." Rarity pointed this off to the others.

"Later, right now, we need to focus on getting back home from Sunnyside Daycare before Tommy leaves for college." Twilight issued this off in what they must do next here.

"Right, let’s go!" Pinkie Pie cheered in seeing it's time to make their move to leave...

Suddenly a door opens with light spilling. The toys turn, expecting Bugs and the Looney Tune squad to return at last. Instead, there's actually Scourge, coming into the room with his gang: Rhino, Taz, Bender, Ursula, etc.

"Eep!" Fluttershy yelped from this surprise to his, they all thought Bugs group came back, but it wasn't them.

"Oh, it's only you, Scourge!" Lola exclaim in relief upon seeing Scourge, a toy to reason with.

"Greetings to you all, everyone. How are you all this evening?" Scourge asked with a pretend smile to the toys during this moment.

"Um, okay…I guess.” Golden Heart responded, but Gold Wing seem to let off a light growl, feeling something was off about this whole thing.

"This is perfect that you're here." Lola said with a smile, as she goes to Scourge with her friends following. "Have you seen Bugs's group or did he talked to you yet?" She asked that the rabbit she loves & those with him have yet to return.

"You don't say." Scourge slyly spoke off in feeling this was a surprise info to him.

"We do, but there is another pressing matter to get done." Unknown spoke off in being serious, but also felt something off with this chance of meeting the old hedgehog now.

"Right, there's been a mistake! We aren't supposed to be here after all! We got to leave right away!" Daisy pointed off to exclaim to Scourge about how serious things are.

"Wait, leave? Why would you want to? You all just got here!" Scourge exclaim in pretend surprise to hear this suddenly. "And it's probably a good thing you all came here too. With how many volunteers we lost to the little ones, we need some new ones. They sure love the newcomers like you, am I right?" The old hedgehog was trying to state off the needy help with his bunch for the toddlers to play with.

"Love? Give me a break, you dumb palooka Scourge!" Donald exclaim to Scourge angrily as if speaking to someone who doesn't seem to care about the toys' situation. "We got chewed, kicked and drooled!" He pointed off all of the things they experienced.

"Look at what those kids has done to my pulse!" Daisy exclaim angrily as she shows her chewed pulse. "I can't go on like this and lose another! We want to leave right now!" The female duck pointed out.

"Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that." Scourge said in amusement as he bends down to look at the other small toy group members. "Unfortunately, there's one thing that I've yet to tell you about Sunnyside: no one ever leaves, which means none of you are going anywhere." The sly old hedgehog stated this off that once a toy checks in, they don't check out.

"What!" The pony gang exclaimed in shock to hear this out of nowhere.

"What? Not going anywhere? Who do think you're talking to? I won't stand by to be treated like this! So I demand more respe..." Daisy of course didn't get the chance to finish as the bored Scourge grabs her mouth, pulling it right off and cutting her off. The good Guys looks shocked at what he just done; that was enough to earn some stern stares from some of them.

"Ah, much better. Peace and quiet without ducks yapping off all day." Scourge remark cruelly, as his henchmen snicker evilly. The good guys couldn't believe what they're hearing. The green hedgehog who was kind to them before, but now he's acting like a tyrant who doesn't care for them.

"Hey, no one takes my gal's mouth but me! Now give it back you furry air freshener!" Donald exclaim furiously as he tries to get the mouth back from Scourge, though the evil hedgehog holds it above him, taunting the duck toy by playing 'Keep Away' with him before Donald finally grabs the thing back. Lola has had enough of this as she heads for the door.

"Come on, he isn't worth it! We're going home!" Lola exclaim sternly to her friends.

"Whoa, missy! Perhaps you didn't hear me from before. You are not going anywhere." Scourge reminds Lola sternly about not leaving this place.

"Oh yeah, who is going to stop us? You?" Lola challenged off if this old hedgehog was gonna stop them from leaving.

Lola yelps as she almost collide with someone in her face. The girl looks up and saw, to her surprise and happiness (at first), Bugs Bunny who came out of the shadows, glaring at her and the others. Their friend is safe! Of course, they don't seem to notice that his glare is a nasty and blank one, also coming from the shadows was the rest of the Looney Tune Squad.

"Dugh looks guys; it's Bugs and our pals, you're back! I'm so happy!" Willie exclaimed to say as he rush over to Bugs, ready to hug him. But without warning, the Space rabbit takes his carrot saber out and makes a sound as if ready to attack.

"Uh, Bugs?" Spike was slowly about to ask what was going on until...

Suddenly without warning, Bugs tackles Willie, knocking him to the floor, much to the shock of the others. What is he doing?

"Secure the giant!" Bugs gave the order to his team mates.

"Roger!" Daffy, Porky and Penelope come over to help pin and tie up Willie with rope.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lola exclaimed off to Bugs in shock and disbelief, why was he doing this?

Bugs didn't answer the question there. Instead, he leaps and attacks the others, knocking them around and to the floor, not giving them all a chance to talk or fight back. Daffy leaps over to pin and tie up Oswald when he saw the black duck caught him. Porky and Penelope used a giant toy net to capture the ponies group that tried to get out, but couldn't somehow. Unknown took the moment to slip into the shadows while Nicole tried to follow. All while Scourge looks on at the fight and struggling, giving out an evil grin. What he and his gang has done to Bugs and his team was a success.

"Hey Bugs, wahahoooh!!" Goofy exclaim to say as Bugs grabs the dog slinky toy by his bottom and slams him to the floor.

Soon all the gang are on the floor, taken down and stunned. The Space rabbit and his team stood on top of them, saluting Scourge of all people.

"The resisting prisoners are disabled, Commander Scourge!" Bugs exclaim to Scourge sternly as if he's a minion who has done a mission for his superior.

"No way, Bugs, what are you doing?" Lola begins to ask Bugs this question, still stunned over what happened. Why did he attacked her and the others? They are his friends, he should know.

"Be quiet, minions of Swackhammer! As of now, you are prisoners of the heroes of Toon Town!" Bugs sternly interrupts the girly rabbit with this statement.

"Dugh, Swackhammer??" Willie asked off in shock and disbelief.

"Toon Town?" Donald Duck asked off dumbstruck over this.

"Hoo boy." Iago groans in realization of what's going on. Bugs's strange behavior could mean only one thing: he thinks he's a space hero from his show again. Somehow, Scourge has done something to the space rabbit and then tricked Bugs into thinking that his old pals are his enemies!

"Nice work, Bugs. Lock them all up good and tight." Scourge gave out his orders to Bugs with an evil grin.

"Yes, sir!" Bugs exclaim with a nod to his commanding officer.

"You three, take the Lynx girl to Marvin, she can use an upgraded personality adjustment." Scourge stated off in narrowing his eyes to where a certain Lynx girl was trying to slip unnoticed, but failed.

"Nicole, run for it! Don't let him catch you!" Pinkamena yelled out to have their friend getaway.

Nicole was trying to get away until Daffy cornered her, then Porky and Penelope cut her off on all escape paths.

"End of the road for..." Daffy never finished as he felt a karate chop n the back of his neck.

"Hugh!" Penelope yelped before she and Porky got knocked off their legs to fall forward.

"Wh-wh-wh-what just happened?" Porky asked off lost in what hit them.

"I...happened." Unknown appeared from the shadows with his glowing eyes.

"Woah, looks like we missed hood boy there, I got this, team!" Bugs issued off in seeing they forgot one prisoner, time for him to get to work.

But soon Unknown grabs Nicole's right wrist, then ran towards Bugs....then did a surprising leap across which sent them even over Scourge and his gang to see the two toys run off.

"Hey, he escaped!" Rhino issued off in seeing Unknown leave.

"And with that computer connecting Lynx girl too!" Ursula issued off in who else fled the scene here.

"Wow, him and Hooded are fast runners!" Taz pointed off in knowing that Unknown moves just like Hooded who was also a mysterious toy that only visits.

"Great, just great...we got a runner. Two runners." Bender rolled his eyes to remark what has happened.

"Don't worry, we'll find them...we always find those that try to leave...but never succeed." Scourge stated this in being calm over the matter that happened.

"But Scourge, he could prove more difficult them the space toys." Newt stated off to say this.

"You three, bring in those two the first moment you find them and you will be given a promotion." Scourge spoke to Porky, Daffy and Penelope in what he can give to those who find those two toys.

"Yes sir!" Daffy, Porky and Penelope saluted in hearing this and they begin their chase.

"Bugs, round up these other prisoners for further orders." Scourge turn to Bugs, the stronger member of the Looney Tune squad to get the other toys here that was kept under wraps.

"You got it doc!" Bugs saluted in having received his orders.

The scene blurs out here as Lola, the ponies and the rest of the gang are seen being taken to...well, we shall soon find out.

----------------------------

A while later, Bugs and Scourge's gang are forcing the toys into wire-mesh cubbies in the room to uses as prison cells. Taking a chance that Bugs team mates were off searching for Unknown and Nicole, Lola decided that she isn't going to go down that easily. She quickly fights back, taking down Rhino and Bender.

However, Lola yelps as Ussula grabs her from behind and throws her in a wire cubby, shutting it while remarking this. "Going somewhere, bunny girl?" Seeing that Lola wanted to go, but now can't it seems.

Lola looks frantically right now as she reaches through her 'cell' to Bugs's shoulder while claiming this. "Bugs, please! We're your friends!" She tries to get Bugs to listen to her, he has to…he loves her.

Instead, Bugs swats Lola's hand away while remarking the matter. "Nice try, Doll, but I am not falling for any of your deceiful lies! You all lost, your two cohorts abandoned you, plus I will not be fooled by your bewitching good looks." The rabbit girl looks shocked and hurt by her love's choice of words; while having overlooked being called a doll here. "Okay, as awkward as that seemed, why did I address a prisoner as good looks?" While Bugs was walking away, he was uttering these words to himself.

Big Baby meanwhile grabs Daisy Duck and prepares to take her to a cubby.

"Hey, you Big Dumb Baby! Get your hands off my Daisy!" Donald angrily intercedes at yelling at the huge baby. Course, Big Fat Baby was angry about the male duck's choice of words, he puts Daisy down and grabs the insulting one. "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me, you drooling stinking palooka!" Donald was snapping off that now he was being mishandled here.

"Wait, Big Fat Baby!" Scourge exclaims to say this as he steps in, having a sinister idea. "I think that duck needs to learn some obedience training. Take him to...the Sandbox." Big Fat Baby nods in hearing that order as he carries Donald away.

"Where are you taking me? Let me go, you palooka! Bad baby, bad baby! Bwaruahahaaahh....." Donald was losing his temper while Big Fat Baby takes the duck out of the room to ignore the protests and insults.

However, a familiar Mink toy has chosen this time to see how her friends are doing, looking confused as to what's going on at this time.

"Newt, what's going on here?" Minerva Mink asked off to Newt nearby in concern. The male newt toy gasps in alarm upon seeing the mink girl. He didn't want her to see what's going on around daycare!

"Minerva! I thought I told you to stay at the Dream House!" Newt exclaimed to Minerva Mink in concern, wanting his girlfriend to leave and avoid seeing things that could make her more upset. He put his arm around Minerva, trying to lead her out of the room before she gets caught up in this.

"Wait, what are you doing to my friends here?" Minerva demands more than she asks.

The mink girl toy turns, just in time to see Bender tossing a duck triplet into a cubby before Taz slams it shut. This upsets her more, she was also upset when the Mane Six, Spike and Golden Heart's group were thrown in cubbies too.

"Hmmph!" Outraged, Minerva Mink slaps Newt's arm away and storms off to join her friends.

"Should have expected much, partner." Applejack stated off to the guy.

"Yes, seeing her friends are being kept like prisoners is a horrible act." Rarity stated off to lecture Newt.

"What kind of a place is Sunnyside anyway? I'll tell you what it isn't. It's nothing more than a prison." Pinkie Pie spoke off in mentioning this off here.

"Even we know Minerva won't be comfortable in the Butterfly Room knowing that her friends are suffering like this!" Fluttershy stated off in knowing how things were gonna be here.

Newt tries to grab Minerva Mink while saying frantically this to her. "Minerva, wait!" He doesn't want the girl he has fallen in love with joining her friends in captivation! "You don't understand what Scourge would do to you if you choose this!" He doesn't want Minerva to face the tortures that the rest of Tommy's toys (minus Bugs & his team) will be facing from now on.

"Get your hands off of me, jerk, as of now, we're done for!" Minerva Mink snaps off to say as she stalks off. Newt looks devastated at first, but sees her walking back to him. At first, he thought that she has changed her mind, making him smile a bit. "And give me my scarf back!" Minerva snapped off to say this suddenly.

Newt yelps in pain when Minerva yanks the scarf that she has given him off his neck very fast. A while later, the toy cross her arms as she is slammed into a cubby, now a prisoner. But the mink girl doesn't care anyway.

Scourge, after making sure that all the toys are locked up and tight, spoke to the brainwashed Bugs Bunny. "Okay Bugs, inform our prisoners of our overnight accommodations, would you?" He wants everyone to know what is gonna go on here.

"Yes, sir!" Bugs exclaims to say.

Upon hearing that Bugs was to read out the overnight rules, Starscream comes with a pad and hands it to Bugs. "Here, this has all the rules of this place on it because I doubt you know them off the top of your head."

"Thank you robotic jet thing." Bugs said taking the pad and salutes him before proceeding to begin reading out the rules as he pace past the toys, each trapped in a cubby, as if like a drill sergeant. "Listen up docs, all of you! Prisoners will sleep in their cells! Any prisoner caught outside his or her cell will spend the night in the Sandbox!" Bugs issued off the order of how things will go and what happens to troublemakers.

--------------

Outside in the playground, Donald was seen being carried to a covered sandbox which Big Fat Baby is taking him to. The big baby opens the lid of the thing before tossing the duck toy into the sandbox itself.

As Donald reaches out while begging for mercy, we hear Bugs continuing. "Roll call is at dusk and dawn! Anyone who misses that will spend the night in the Sandbox!"

Big Fat Baby makes a funny face as he closes the lid, trapping Donald in a box of sand and darkness.

Back in the Caterpillar Room, an impatient Lola watches while Bugs continues the rules.

"Next up for you laughing boys and girls. Prisoners will not speak unless they are spoken to! Anyone who speaks back will spend the night..." Bugs was about to repeat this statement again until...

"...in the Sandbox, we get the idea!" Lola snaps angrily at Bugs’s repeated rule overview. It seems like every punishment to breaking the rules is spending a night in the Sandbox. The gang gets the idea alright.

"Oh, well aren't you a smart little doll behind bars?" Bugs turned to stare with an upset look in seeing how Lola was talking back to him.

"Here's something else, call me a doll again and I'll show you my angry side." Lola snapped off to say this in wanting Bugs to watch out for her.

The space rabbit had enough of Lola dissing him, he charges at her as if about to attack the girl, but Scourge stops Bugs in time with a calming hand.

"Hold it, soldier, at ease. They are neutralized, not a threat. But I must warn you, don't listen to a word that they say. Those villains will say anything to make you doubt yourself." Scourge warns Bugs to settle down and to keep a level head to not get caught up by the prisoners here.

"Why would he say we lie?" Fluttershy asked off puzzled by that claim with a worried tone.

"Ah'm no liar!" Applejack protested to say this.

"It must be the flaw that every Space Ranger toy like Bugs Bunny have which involves them thinking that they're the real thing." Twilight explained off the case of what was going on here.

"You mean like with the other Bugs Bunny?" Rainbow Dash asked off in recalling a second Bugs Bunny they met.

"We called him Bugs II for easier reminder." Pinkie Pie stated in knowing about the event Mickey got take by Cartman to be sold in Japan.

"So then Scourge must know that the others convinced our Bugs here that he's a toy and that they may try to again." Rarity stated off in knowing what Scourge was up to which kept Bugs from listening to them.

"I guess he has us figured out." Spike shook his head at how things are looking for them.

"Do not worry, Commander! Any doubt that I used to have got pounded out of me at the Academy!" Bugs exclaim sternly to Scourge in being serious. "Even my own squad mates won't be taken or fooled by the loose prisoners still at large." He explained off that even Daffy, Porky and Penelope won't be fooled so easily by criminals.

Scourge nods in liking Bugs response as he got onto a podium of ABC blocks, jovial and relaxed.

"Listen up, all of you. We got things that we do here at Sunnyside! If you start at the bottom and pay your dues...well, life here will be a dream come true!" Scourge explained how things work, start at the bottom, work one way up, simple.

"Agh, who are you kidding? Those rules mean nothing when getting broken or humiliated by kids who don't know how to take care of toys?" Goofy asked Scourge off angrily on the subject.

"Well I'm sorry, no one say that living here at Sunnyside will be easy." Scourge said with a cruel chuckle that this was the hard fact of life. "However, if you break our rules, step out of line and try to get out of here early? Well, let's say you will end up hurting yourselves, just like a few certain pals of yours did earlier." He motioned off darkly in what will happen if anyone tries to go against their rule policy.

"Forget, we know that Unknown is the best at being kept hidden and out of sight, you'll never catch him or Nicole!" Oswald protested to say in knowing who the evil hedgehog was talking about.

"Oh, I know the hooded one is good, and he be perfect to get under our control, same with the Lynx girl...but sadly, I was referring to...other players." Scourge remarked off to say this in what he was originally talking about.

Then without any warning and to the trapped toys' horror and shock, Scourge takes out a familiar something out to Tommy's toy group: Mickey's glove and Minnie's bow which was tossed onto the floor, causing them to slide over to Lola's cubby. They all gasp upon recognizing the objects in question.

"Mickey! Minnie! What did you do to them?" Lola demands to Scourge in shock and anger, what did he do to their friends that were gonna head home?

"Let's say that even those mice found out that that getting out of here isn't so easy." Scourge remarks to Lola with a cruel grin off his face.

Of course, no one really knew the hedgehog was lying. One of his men has found the stuff outside the daycare entry, while figuring those toys escaped, but the prisoners don't need to know that. All Scourge needs is the right motivation to convince Lola's group to not try to escape or else.

"You won't break our spirits, buster!" Pinkamena snapped off against this foe that they won't give up without a real fight.

"Oh, I think I will, especially, since you all have returned to be given another lesson." Scourge spoke off in sounding like he has already won now.

"You remembered us, but it's been years since we escaped from here!" Golden Heart yelps in having heard this while Gold Wing screech at the enemy behind bars.

"Let's just say, acting if orate can be my specialty." Scourge pointed off in having made himself seen unsure of re bearing those that got out, it was the perfect ploy to lower an enemy's guard.

Everyone else was stump, so Goldie, Pinkamena and Gold Wing were prisoners here and go out....talk about late warning notices that would have been helpful about now.

Now Scourge goes back into his truck bed that his cronies, minus Bugs, are waiting in. Scourge then taps his cane while announcing this to the bunch. "Well, I suggest you all get a good night's rest! You got a full day of playtime tomorrow!" The guy mentioned this off in what this bunch of jail toys will undergo for more toddler endurance training.

With that, Scourge chuckles off as he and his goons drive off. Bugs Bunny was left behind as he stands guard over the 'cell block, preparing to do anything should his 'enemies' try to make a break for it.

Lola and her friends grasps the bars of their 'cells' in sadness. They are now prisoners of a mad rogue hedgehog in a daycare center, Bugs thinks he's a real Space Ranger who now believes that his friends are his enemies, the rest of the Looney Tune squad also believe they are enemies and are hunting Unknown and Nicole, worse.....it looks like Mickey, Minnie, even poor Figaro are gone, possibly destroyed.

Why didn't the gang chose to leave Sunnyside Daycare when they had the chance to? Everything goes dark now...as this will be a sad life for the gang to live through as prison toys under a tyrant's rule.

Author's note
Oh no. Bugs and his Looney Tune Squad pals are now working for Scourge, and the others are prisoners! In the next chapter, as Mickey, Minnie and Figaro works on getting home, they discover the truth about Scourge, and his tragic past. Read, review and suggest.

The opening has a reference to the series of Toy Story shorts that used to air on ABC during commercial breaks, called Toy Story Treats, and it featured Sid's mutant toys in them, as if they were owned by Andy, even though it's not a canon series.

The "shut up" bit is a reference to the Bugs Bunny short, "Fair-Haired Hare".
