FanFic:Yakko Warner: Space pilot

This is "Out-of-Character"- which means I will not be acting as Gunant Breh here.
This is a fan-fiction story that is a crossover with the cartoon show, "Animaniacs." And seeing as it's one of my favorites, and that I also like GOF, I've decided to twist these two series together.

I own none of these characters-- neither the ones from GOF or from Animaniacs.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Unexpected developments
Yakko pulled out his iPhone, and opened Galaxy on Fire 2.

"I really wish this game was real-Minus all of the pirates, of course."

And little did he know, this wish was about to be granted.

He had built a spaceship by himself, based on the Veteran from his favorite game, but much smaller, and with orange paint, and blue and yellow stripes.

Yakko even put a Terran Space Fleet insignia on the left wing,for good luck.

As Yakko began thinking all of this, he saved his game, and put the iPhone in his pocket, and climbed into his spaceship.

Just then, his siblings, Wakko and Dot, came rushing out of the door.

Wakko was first to speak.

"Is that a real spaceship? Can I fly it? Is there food in the back?" he squealed.

"Can I paint it pink? Can I put flowers on it?" Dot asked.

"Eeehh.... No,  but you can both fly with me! Wakko, you get in the turret seat. Dot, sit next to me."

Yakko's siblings excitedly jumped into the tiny little spaceship, filling it up to the brim.

As the mini-Veteran lifted off and broke through the atmosphere, Yakko heard a loud thump, and a sputter.

"That didn't sound very good..." he thought to himself.

"Yakko, what was that noise?" Dot asked.

" I don't know, but I didn't like it." Yakko replied.

Just then, the ship stared shaking and was surrounded by a globe of light.

"Uh-oh...Not this! " Yakko said worridly.

The light dissipated and the ship vanished into the unknown.

Chapter 2: Deja Vu
The mini-Veteran warped back into existance at a nearby space station, was spinnig wildly out of control, and was on fire.

"Computer, where are we? Set a course for that space station!" Yakko yelled.

"Yakko, what's happening? Where are we? Are we going to die? I'm to cute to die!" Dot cried.

"Autopilot engaged. Setting course for Kaamo space station. Co2 scrubbers failing. Engine shutdown." the ship's computer robotically announced.

"Kaamo? Oh-great...I hope....Mkkt....Bkkt...Isn't..." Yakko passed out along with his siblings.

--30 minutes later--

Keith came out of his station, and noticed a peculiar ship floating around.

"Hmm? What's this? It looks like a Veteran, but it's only half the size, and it's got a different paint job, yet it still has the Terran insignia on it! This kind of reminds me of how I ended up in Var Hastra... I should take this thing in!" Keith said under his breath as his tractor beam picked up the tiny ship.

When he docked, and opened the mini Veteran's cockpit, Keith found that the pilots didn't belong to any other species he had ever seen.

Right at that moment, Yakko awoke. "Uhh.... My head... Huh? Keith? But I thought Mkkt Bkkt--" Yakko was stunned at seeing his favorite space hero in person.

"No, Mkkt Bkkt doesn't own this place anymore. It's mine now. Say, what's your name? And what species are you?" Keith asked.

"My name is Yakko Warner, and the little girl next to me is my sister, Dot, and my brother Wakko is in the turret. And my species? Nobody really knows-- In fact, even we don't know what species we are! But I do know that we're cartoon characters, I'm just not sure what kind." Yakko replied.

Chapter 3: Where's the Fourth Wall now?
"Oh...I'm sorry, Yakko, my head hurts from trying to understand all of this... I thought cartoon characters were fictional!" Keith added.

"Well, I thought you were fictional! You see, back in my universe, you're the main character in a video game called "Galaxy on Fire" and that's how I knew your name, because I've beaten the game." Yakko retorted.

Keith was speechless, so he changed the subject to avoid looking stupid.

"How did you get that ship? It looks like a Veteran, but it's too small!" Keith asked.

" I used the Veteran I had in the game as a basis, and built my own version, with my own paint job. I put the Terran Fleet insignia on there for luck, not because I served in the Space Fleet." Yakko answered.

"So, how did you build it? What type of engines did you use?" Keith responded.

" Well, in my world, spacecraft aren't anywhere near as advanced than they are here. The farthest we've gotten is a manned mission to the Moon. I know, it's pathetic." Yakko added.

" You must have been in the 21st centry then. That's a very long time ago. It's the 37th centry now, and any engines you used on your ship would be very primitive compared to any that you see here." Keith was stunned..

"Yeah, they were rocket engines. Very primitive compared to the ones used in the game... And speaking of engines, does mine still work? And, if it doesn't can it be replaced with a more "Modern" engine?" Yakko asked.

Just then, Dot woke up, holding her head. "uhhh...What happ- Hellooo, Nurse!" Dot howled as she melted.

"I'm pretty sure cartoon characters are supposed to melt like that?" Keith asked.

"Yeah, it's something we do a lot, usually when we're bored, or if we see someone attractive--and I think Dot likes you, by the way..." Yakko answered.

Chapter 4:A good footing
"Well, I'm much too old for her by the looks of it... How old are you, anyways?" Keith asked again.

"I'm 11, Wakko is 7, and Dot is 5. All three of us are very flirty though, so that's why Dot was hitting on you." Yakko replied.

"Anyways, about that engine... It seems like it still works, but it's probably not in good enough shape to survive using a jump gate, let alone a Khador drive. So I'd replace it, or get a new ship if I were you. I should have a ship that will fit you guys until yours gets fixed... And by the way, what do you call it? It isn't a real Veteran, is it?" Keith added.

"I really haven't come up with a good name for it... I just call it the mini-Veteran...I think I'll call it the "/Ranetev/", which is an anagram of "Veteran"." Yakko answered.

"That's really creative, I never would have thought of it!" Keith replied.

"I have my talents." Yakko gloated.

The hatch on the turret opened up, and Wakko jumped out.

"Woah, this place is FaBoo!" Wakko exclaimed.

"It's my space station. If you guys don't mind, I could let the three of you stay here until you get a good footing." Keith replied.

"Good thing, because we don't wear shoes!" Yakko joked, as he lifted up his foot.

"Well, the "No shirt, no shoes, no service" law that you had everywhere back in your universe doesn't well apply here, as there are species who actually enforce public nudity, like the Bobolians. I'm pretty sure that the NS3 law was put into action to contain diseases...But seeing as it's the 37th century and there's a cure for almost everthing, this rule became redundant eventually...Not that it matters, because most clothing-wearing species act like it's still in effect anyways..." Keith explained

"Is there a cure for the common cold? Because then it wouldn't be very "Common" anymore..." Wakko asked.

"As I said, there's a cure for almost everything, and the only known diseases with no cures found are caused by inter-species mating." Keith added.

Chapter 5: Replacement ship
Wakko walked over to a nearby box, and a tenticle reached out and tried to grab his foot.

"Eew! What's in that box?" Wakko cringed.

"Oh, that's just a crate full of Rare Animals." Keith replied.

"And by the way, guys... I think I've found you the perfect ship- It's my old Velasco that I've given a Terran Space Fleet paint job. The Space Fleet should mistake you for me if they see it, or at least know you're on their side." Keith said.

"How many seats are there, and does it have a turret? Wakko loves blowing stuff up." Yakko added.

"It's got four seats in the front, and a turret." Keith replied.

"Yay! I get to blow things up! Shooty shooty time!" Wakko exclaimed.

Yakko grabbed his brother's shoulder.

"Ah-ah-ah, bro, not yet... I need to set some rules first." Yakko said.

"Okay..." Wakko replied.

"If you see any ships that have green or yellow dots over them on the radar, don't shoot at those, they're the good guys. The bad guys had red dots on their ships. Also, only shoot when I say, "Fire at will". and stop when I say to, OK?" Yakko explained.

Wakko nodded, and jumped into the turret.

"Okay, guys, I'll follow you in my Gryphon." Keith said as he jumped into his ship.

Chapter 6: A giant battleship...Great...
As the pair of ships left the station, they noticed there was a Nivelian Battlecruiser waiting outside.

"Oh,great. Just what I need, a giant battleship.

The massive craft spat out several groups of Aegirs and Daces, with a Salvéhn at the head of each.

The Salvehns' turrets aimed for the two ships.

"Engage your booster! They'll shoot us down!" Keith yelled as the boosters ignited and his Gryphon went screaming passed.

"Wakko, you see those blue ships? Shoot 'em down! Try to hit the fat ones with the turrets as many times as you can!" Yakko yelled as he started his booster.

A Dace broke off from its formation and began to chase Yakko.

"Say bye-bye, you hunk of junk!" Wakko said sinisterly as the turret opened fire, pummeling the Dace with laser energy.

The Dace's engine exploded, and it spun out of control and collided with an asteroid in the distance.

The Salvehn used a booster, and its turret aimed for Keith, but a mysterious, orange, war-torn Salvehn with the Mido emblem fried it before the turret could finish turning.

"Get a signature on that ship! It's not a normal Salvehn!" Keith exclaimed.

Yakko locked onto it and...

Chapter 7: Intrusive ally
"It's Gunant."

"What the hell is he doing here?" Keith yelled.

Gunant's turret targeted a nearby small asteroid, and fired.

The asteroid was knocked back by the laser and penetrated the Nivelian formation,  smashing 5 unlucky victims.

Out of nowhere, a small missile rocketed from between Keith and Yakko, and went into the hangar of the cruiser.

A huge explosion sounded, and dozens of ships, weapons, and pilots were thrown into space.

"I kinda feel sorry for the guys who died in that..." Yakko said.

"Well, they've got another thing coming from me!" Keith added.

A large, fat missile dropped from Keith's ship.

"Keith T. Maxwell to Gunant Breh, and Yakko Warner: I just launched a nuke into their hangar, GET OUT!

Gunant and Yakko engaged their boosters and zipped across to the asteroid field.

A massive, epic explosion spread from inside the cruiser and ruptured it.

"We won't be having any more trouble from them, now will we?" Keith asked.

"Uhhh... Keith, I think there's another ship after you..." Yakko added.

The flaming, mangled Nivelian ship tumbled over and crashed into an asteroid.

"I thought I'd seen enough of those pieces of junk!" Keith shouted.

"Well, there's going to be more... So, for now, why don't we just go back to the station?" Gunant asked.

"Eehhh, Keith, I think Gunant's right. We need to rest." Yakko affirmed.

"Agreed. Let's dock and get some rest." Keith added.

Chapter 8:Buskat rush Wakko
When they docked, Keith said "Mkkt Bkkt's room is still here. But, you should never go in there, and I'll show you why."

The Warners followed Keith to Mkkt Bkkt's room, and as the door opened, the three siblings ran in before Keith could hold them back.

"Hey, mister, what is this red stuff?" Wakko asked.

"No, Wakko don't eat that! It's-" Keith hollered.

But it was too late.

Wakko burped loudly and started jittering so much he could barely stand still.

"Bzzzt! Kpow! Rrrttt! PPbbbhhtt! Crackle! Zort!" Wakko fizzled.

"Eeh, Keith, even Wakko isn't this crazy.. what happened to him?" Yakko asked.

"I'm afraid he found some Buskat that Mkkt forgot to clean up..." Keith replied.

"But I thought it was just a spice! How could it make him act like this?" Yakko added.

"The "Spice" form of Buskat is from weaker stars, like the one Earth orbits.

Stellar-mass Red Giants throw it into space in their solar wind." Keith answered.

"So, you're saying Buskat is actually solar particles from a dying Sun-mass star?" Yakko askked.

"The spice form is... But the form Wakko ingested was a much more potent type... We'll have to lock him in a cage made of spaceship armor to keep him from destroying anything, and I'll have to get... the thing...from the guys..." Keith groaned.

Chapter 9: The Cure
"Oh, no.... you don't mean-K'mirkk Toad Mutagen, do you?" Yakko gasped.

"Unfortunately, yes, I do... Luckily, the Vossk have eliminated most of the pirates in their systems and have tightened safety laws ten-thousand fold. We shouldn't see a single thrown-together, pirate piece of crap in their systems, so it should be a lot easier, even though we're going to have to get Vossk ships, weapons, and signatures." Keith replied.

"I bet you're sick of posing as a Vossk, aren't you?" Yakko asked.

"You bet I am. All the things I've had to steal, hack, and all the people I've had to blow into smithereens with their own weapons... It makes me sick! I don't neccisarily like the Vossk, but what I dislike even more is when I have to attack them and steal things from them over stupid crap like testing the K'suuk. It makes me just as bad as them, and they really are justified for hating me."Keith explained.

"Well, we could just wait for him to become sober again, if you don't want to do the Vossk any more harm..." Yakko replied.

" I know there are some Vossk who are at least able to talk with me.. Like the guy who sold me the Mutagen the first time... I hope he's still there! That Vossk merchant is your little brother's only hope! Off to Me'enkk!" Keith announced.

The three jumped in there ships, and took off, leaving Wakko in the T'yol cage.

When the ships approached the station,there was a Vossk battlecruiser standing guard over the enterance.

"Great. We'll have to fly around it!" Keith said.

Yakko and Keith split their formation and went around the beastly ship, and it did not notice a thing.

When they docked, there was a shadowy, pointy-headed figure in the corner.

Chapter 10: An old friend
"Come back for more?" the figure asked. It was the Vossk merchant from before.

"Yes. I need your help-- You see, I didn't tell you this, but Mkkt Bkkt used to own a space station, and I bought it from him... Apperently, he left some Buskat behind in his room, and my friend Yakko, here, has a brother, named Wakko... Anyways, Wakko swallowed the Buskat and we were wondering if we could ask for your help to cure him." Keith asked.

"Remember what I said- Don't use the booster or- KABOOM!!! and stay out of trouble or-BANG!" The Vossk merchant warned.

"You should have brought Wakko to the station on your way... If you did, then you wouldn't have to carry it all the way back..." The merchant pointed out.

Keith facepalmed.

"Ugh! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, yeah, because we had to lock him in a cage made of your empire's strongest armor, otherwise he would run rampant and destroy everything." Keith replied.

"Well, ye be a foolish or crazy man, carrying this stuff off of the station..." the merchant giggled at how appropriate this line had been at both times.

"Is there any way to keep it stable so I can use a warp drive?" Keith asked.

"Hmm.... I think there may be a way, but you'll need to find a cryogenic refridgerated crate to keep it stable." The merchant added.

"Were are we going to find that?" Yakko asked.

"I think you should look at Kappa, in the Union system. They just got a new shipment of cryo-crates. Come back when you get one. I'll still be here." the merchant answered.

"Alright. Thanks for your help." Yakko added.

"Be careful...And, you're welcome..." the merchant replied.

Chapter 11: Kappa Konundrum
Keith and Yakko warped to Kappa, and unfortunately for them, there were pirates.

"I'll take care of the pirates! You go in and get the crate! " Keith ordered.

Yakko obeyed, and used his booster to get past the pirates, who Keith was shooting down one per second.

When Yakko docked, he jumped out of the ship, and started running straight for the shop.

However, a Vossk walked out of a doorway in front of him, and he couldn't slow down fast enough.

"Oof! Come here, you! Nobody runs into me and gets away with it!" the Vossk yelled.

Yakko, now with an angry Vossk chasing him, thought that he would die trying to save his brother.

He was running so fast, that everyone in the station stopped what they were doing, and watched him.

Soon, the only sound in the station was the sound of Yakko's feet and the footsteps of the angry Vossk warrior.

The shop was only a few dozen yards away.

I can make it, Yakko thought.

A cruel twist of fate had Yakko trip in an energy cell laying on the floor, and he slipped and fell on his behind.

The Vossk had caught up with him.

"What do you think you're doing, running in to Vossks, boy?" the angry alien demanded.

Yakko was scared speechless...

But then, he remembered the energy cell...

Chapter 12: Energy Cell, I see you!
In a choice that saved his life, Yakko picked up the energy cell and threw it in the Vossk's face, and it broke.

" What the Hell is wrong with you? You're lucky I have four eyes, because you just poked two of them out!" the Vossk roared as he pranced around, trying to get the glass out of his eye.

Yakko took the chance and bolted off before the angry alien man could give chase.

He quickly approached the counter.

"I'm looking for a Cryo-Crate. Do you still have any?" Yakko asked the shopkeeper.

"Yes, what size?"

"A 1-ton crate wll do." Yakko replied.

"That's 350$." the shopkeeper added.

Yakko handed the money, and picked up the crate.

Luckily for him, the Vossk whose eyes he had poked out was in the space lounge, drinking away his pain.

As for Vossks, telling the authorities about assault is a sign of weakness and dishonor, there were no cops to worry about.

He somehow felt sorry for the Vossk man; As if he were a casualty in a pointless, bloody war; He didn't deserve to lose half of his sight.

He decided to make amends with the Vossk, even if it meant his death.

Yakko put the crate in his ship, and walked into the Space Lounge.

The Vossk was in the far corner, glass shards and blood spots on the table, resting his face on a washcloth.

Yakko meandered his way in between all the different people and aliens, and reached him.

"Hello, I know you're probably going to kill me for talking to you after what I did, and I wouldn't blame you, but I'm very sorry that I poked half of your eyes out. I'll pay for any medical bills for you, and if you want to stay with me until you recover, I'm fine with it." Yakko calmly explained.

Chapter 13: Unusual honor
The Vossk looked up at him.

"I've never seen anyone of another race be so kind to a Vossk... It makes me want to cry, how repitent you are for wounding me... That is very honorable, and honor is more important to us Vossks than our own lives are.

It means a lot to me that a non-Vossk would be so honorable and courageous about his misdeeds... And just for that, I forgive you. My name is Bakst Tarsk, and you can trust me from now on." Bakst replied.

Yakko was stunned at how kind Bakst was, even after he'd nearly been blinded.

"Take this map as a sign of our new friendship." Bakst said, as he handed Yakko a map with co-ordinates to a system which he had never found.

"Where is it a map of?" Yakko asked.

"It's a map of my my home system, W'medda... It's a separatist Vossk system that is run by a republic. People are very friendly there-- but the jumpgate does not link to the Vossk Empire. It only links to a a certain Nivelian system... I try to be friendly, but sometimes my temper takes control. It's a Vossk thing, we all become very rude and destructive when we get angry. But I'm trying to control it, and I think yo've tought me a lesson I'll never forget: To forgive your enemies, then they become the best friends you could have." Bakst sobbed.

"You can come with me, and we'll see what we can do about those eyes." Yakko said.

"I am not worth your trouble, I found out why you were rushing, I heard you talking to the shopkeeper...

You were trying to save your brother, and now because of me wasting your time, he's probably dead, and I've dishonored myself... I am worthless now." Bakst pouted.

"It's OK... Honor can be renewed, it's not unfixable, just like a jammed auto-cannon... It takes work to fix, but it's possible." Yakko reassured him.

"How do you suppose I do that? There's no way I can..." Bakst replied.

"You just did-- You gave me a gift and expressed your gratitude for showing you what it means to be a friend, even though I nearly blinded you for life... You could have strangled me and killed me, but you didn't- you took the honorable path, and forgave me for something that was unexcusable." Yakko explained.

"Cheer up, my new friend, there's a whole universe out there, waiting for you to make something out of yourself. And you're off to a good start." Yakko added as he patted his friend on the back.

"Follow me to my ship, and you can stay with me." Yakko said.

Bakst nodded, and Yakko helped him into the ship.

Chapter 14: Friendly Vossk?
When they took off, Keith was waiting for them.

"Yakko to Keith- I've got a friendly Vossk on board, I hurt him and now I've got to do the right thing and pay for his hospital bills!" Yakko explained.

"What? A Vossk? Friendly? Can I speak to him?" Keith asked.

"Hello? My name is Bakst Tarsk, and I'm the Vossk that your friend speaks of.

Let me explain what happened: He was running through the halls to get to the store, and ran into me when I came out of the restroom. My temper got the better of me, and I chased him... He tripped on an energy cell, and I was about to grab him, and he threw the cell at my face and destroyed two of my eyes... But he taught me a lesson- that it is not honorable to fight, but rather to forgive those who hurt you. And I do try to be conversible, usually, but, like all Vossks, sometimes my anger overtakes me and I go into a fit of rage. Your friend had the courage and the heart to apologize to me in the Space lounge,knowing fully that it could lead to me becoming enraged and killing him... and he said it to my face, at that... And he promised to help me through what I had caused, and taught me the true meaning of honor." Bakst explained.

"That's a really...Touching story... I wish I was in the station to have seen it, but too bad for me, because I was busy fighting these pirates the whole time theis happened, right?" Keith asked.

"Unfortuantely, yeah, you were. And we need to get the mutagen, fast!" Yakko declared.

"The K'mirrk toad Mutagen? We'll explo--Oh, nevermind, I guess that's why you got the Cryo-Crate I saw you carrying, isn't it?" Bakst asked.

Yakko nodded and they warped back to Me'enkk.

Chapter 15:Quick thinking
Keith climbed out of the ship, and Yakko got the Cryo-Crate.

And the merchant was still there, just like he said he would be.

"I told you I'd still be here." the merchant said.

"We need to get this stuff in the Cryo-Crate, quickly!" Keith replied.

"Be careful- don't drop it- or BOOM!" the metchant yelled.

The Mutagen box slid into the Cryo-Crate perfectly.

Yakko put the lid on, and tightened the knob, and it made a hissing noise.

Keith payed the merchant, and the two got back to their ships.

When they docked at Kaamo,  Yakko saw that Wakko had thrown up everywhere and bent the pars open on the cage.

"That's just great. Where did he go?" Yakko asked.

" To Hell if I know..." Keith replied.

Unknowingly to them, Wakko was hiding behind the ship.

He crawled out from behind it and ran towards the edge of the hangar.

"If he's in a Buskat rush, he has no way of knowing he'll run out of the force field and die in space!" Yakko yelled, and zapped his brother with an EMP Luna that he wired to the wall.

Wakko lay on the floor, temporarily paralyzed.

"How did you mount that EMP blaster to the wall?" Keith asked.

"I used a screwdriver and pulled a panel off, then unplugged the wires connected to the weapon jack and attached them to that light switch, so it would shoot if I flipped the switch." Yakko explained.

"I can't... Just...Brilliant! That was a stroke of genius!" Keith hollered as Yakko rolled his brother over and Keith poured the Mutagen into his mouth.

Chapter 16: the Terrible Taste
Wakko's eyes lost the vainy, bloodshot look, and he stopped jittering.

He tried to spit the horrible Mutagen taste out of his mouth, but it didn't leave.

" That stuff tasted terrible! I don't even want to know what it was, because it would probably be too gross for even someone as disgusting as me to eat it!" Wakko gasped, pulled out his tongue and started rubbing it, as if he thought the taste would come off.

"Wakko, now you know better than to just eat things you've never seen before, right?" Yakko asked his brother.

Wakko nodded, and Dot cringed and threw up in her mouth.

"I hope you've learned a valuable lesson, Wakko. You shouldn't eat things for shock value anymore--There are things in this universe that you really shouldn't eat..." Yakko added.

"By the way, Keith, I want to show you the game I was talking about." Yakko said as he pulled out the iPhone.

He unlocked it and tapped the GOF2 icon.

Keith watched in amazement, he had his own video game.

"Do you want to try it? After all, you'll be playing as yourself... And you can side with whoever you want." Yakko added.

He handed the iPhone to Keith...

Chapter 17: Your own hero
"Wow... This is amazing! What is the company that made this game? It's probably not still around, is it..." Keith asked.

"Unfortunately, I'd doubt it. This game was written in 2009, and if it's in the 3600's it's ancient history by now." Yakko sighed.

"I'll leave you with the game, me and my sibs are going to become pilots, like you!" Yakko added.

Yakko dismantled the Ranetev's tail, and took the engine out of a present that a certain Midorian had given to Maxwell.

Keith heard the noise and looked up.

"What are you doing to Betty?" Keith asked.

"I'm reusing her engine in the Ranetev." Yakko replied.

Maxwell fell over laughing.

"Y--hahhaha-you're not going to---are you? that won't--HAHAHA -- you anywhere!" Keith banged his fist on the Targe shield sitting next to him, laughing like crazy.

"You might as well (laughter)  this shield with you-- It'll protect you from the evil space dust!" Keith hollered as he picked up the Targe shield and threw it in the Ranetev's cargo hold.

"Hey, what are you doing? I don't want that peice of junk! You keep it!" Yakko shouted.

"Come on, guys, let's go and find something to do. Keith, I can see you enjoy that game. Just keep on it and we'll find something out here...

Yakko and his siblings jumped into the tiny little ship, and it shot off, leaving Keith alone.

"I nope they don't get into any trouble..." he mumbled under his breath.

Chapter 18: Of all the rogues...
The Ranetev's drive charged up, and a bright rip tore through space, then the ship slipped through it.

The same tear appeared in space near  W'medda, and Yakko found Bakst's home system in trouble.

The Nivelians were helping the Vossk Republic fight the Empire.

"I don't know what to do, we attacked the Nivelians before, so won't they attack us?" Yakko asked his brother.

"We should get Keith's autograph!" Wakko responded.

Yakko snapped his fingers.

"Wakko, you've given me an idea!" Yakko announced, as he quickly Khador-drived to Loma.

When they arrived, Yakko shut off the turret so Wakko couldnt shoot the pirates.

But he said nothing about it.

"Welcome to Loma! If you want it, we probably have it!" the pirate boss announced.

Yakko payed the pirates as everyone else without a ship made of mirrors would do.

"You can enter Loma, but don't do anything stupid, OK?" the pirate boss asked, not expecting an answer.

When Yakko docked at the station, there was a mysterious figure at the door of the Space Lounge.

Yakko locked down the ship so that his siblings couldn't get hurt.

"Well, look who we have here! You're a little guy, aren't you?" Mkkt Bkkt taunted as he picked Yakko up.

"I know who you are, Mkkt Bkkt, and I'm one of Keith's friends- so unless you want to hear from him, put me down, now!" Yakko demanded, as the burly Multipod listened to his request.

"I'm sorry for the trouble. I've never seen a being like you before-- I was just curious as to who you were." Mkkt explained.

"I'm actually a cartoon character... That's the closest thing to my species, because nobody knows what we are, neither me, or my siblings." Yakko replied.

"You have siblings? Where are they? And if you're a cartoon character, why aren't you on a screen?" Mkkt asked.

"I got here the same way Keith did- a hyperdrive malfunction. Except, Keith got sent 35 years into the future, I got sent into another universe, where the one we are in now is just a video game." Yakko added.

Mkkt Bkkt had no idea what to say to this, so he just walked backwards to his ship, one step at a time, and rocketed into the ship, and shot off into the distance.

"I guess I stumped him!" Yakko gloated to himself as he went up to the shop and got a Nivelian Signature.

Chapter 19: Chaos at S'poon, part I
Yakko warped back to W'medda, and Bakst had followed him in a purple Na'srrk, with a mini-turret mounted on top.

They went to planet S'poon.

"Bakst? I see you knew I wanted to help you! Come on, let's save your friends!" Yakko confidently said to his friend.

" I came as soon as I saw you leave Kaamo." Bakst replied.

Yakko unlocked the turret.

"Wakko, the blue ships are the good guys now.  Leave the purple ships, and the blue ones, alone. Shoot at the green ones." Yakko ordered.

"Aye,aye, captain bro!" Wakko saluted as his turret aimed at a Sk'anaar and shot its turret off.

The angry pilot turned as hard as he could, attempting to crash into the Ranetev.

A Hatsuyuki shot a missile at the Sk'anaar, which went right into its engine, making the gunship explode from inside.

The Nivelian forces were advancing alongside the Vossk Republic, and the Empire was mustering all that it had.

Luckily for the Nivelians, backup was coming.

The triple entante pushed back the struggling empire,and the Nivelians were chipping in their part, too, bringing in massive battleships and carriers, and  even the Mido were helping-- by redirecting asteroids into the Imperial Vossk cruisers.

"Bakst, I'm going to attack this battlecruiser, can you cover me?" Yakko asked.

Ships were bursting into flames and exploding, and lasers and missiles were flying everywhere.

"Okay! I'll distract them so you can take it down!" Bakst holered over the sound of his engines.

Chapter 20: Chaos at S'poon, part II
Yakko flew behind the massive ship and launched a nuke up its tail pipe.

The explosion obliberated one of its wings and shut the other engine down, but the turrets weren't damaged.

Yakko looked behind, and noticed he also demolished dozens of Imperial Vossk ships.

Just then, a ship appeared from the jumpgate.

...Pzzzzzt!

It was Maxwell!

"Yakko, Bakst, we need to work together if we're going to save this place!" Keith ordered.

A green Vossk station was looming outside the battle.

"The Vossk Republic makes all of their ships purple, and their stations blue! This is an Imperial station!" Yakko hollered as several Battlecruisers surrounded the station and began opening fire upon it.

A ring of light formed around the space station, and a huge beam came from it and cut two of the cruisers in half.

" Holy shit! What the Hell was that? We need to destroy it!" Keith exclaimed as Yakko launched a Liberator at the laser barrel.

The explosion bent the barrel, and it could no longer fire properly.

Just then, a wormhole appeared, and a black Taipan flew out along with a whole squadron of Voids.

"Great. I thought I'd seen the end of these guys! Corny, what the flipping heck are you doing?" Keith demanded.

Chapter 21: Unexpected allies
"(Void Language)!"

"I hope he's on our side..." Keith muttered.

The Void fighters began attacking the Vossk Empire's forces.

One last ship came through the wormhole.

It was a Void Gunship with 3 turrets.

The monster ship activated its booster and quickly sank behind the Empire's lines, where it caused an amazing world of hurt.

The three turrets were almost like demons, destroying and ravaging everything in their path.

"(Void Language!)"

"I think he's trying to tell us the turret ship's name... Lemme translate... Hold on." Yakko said as he scanned Corny's ship.

"He's saying, "I call it the Hydra!" I guess because the hydra has more than one head, and that ship has more than one turret..." Yakko added.

The Hydra was tearing apart all of the ships that even came close to it; It literally was like a demon, for it had no mercy, and was obliberating every ship unfortunate enough to be seen by it.

"(Void language!)" the Hydra pilot announced.

"We will have our vengance!"

A trio of H'soc fighters tried to sneak up on the Hydra; That turned out to be a vey bad idea, because the Hydra poked holes through them before they could even open fire.

All three ships, tumbled and exploded.

Chapter 22: New friends
The Vossk battleships began to advance again, and the modified K'saar freighters with L'ksaar turrets were moving into the Nivelian front, and the Nivelians became desparate trying to hold them back.

"Bakst, aim for the turrets--not the freighters! Without the weapons, they're useless and defenseless and we can just capture them when the Space Fleet cleans this mess up." Yakko explained.

Bakst did as told, and began shooting the turrets off of the freighters, while Yakko himself was busy disabling the battlecruisers.

An Aegir and two Kinzers flew upside Yakko and entered formation with him.

"Oh, so you guys want to help me? Well then, let's go!" Yakko cheered as he and his wingmen flew into the hangar of a Vossk carrier and began punching holes in the ships before they could leave.

Maxwell, on the other hand, was busy using small nukes to strip the armor off of the cruisers, making a signal so friendlies would avoid the explosion.

Soon, 7 of the 16 cruisers were bare and exposed, as if they were naked.

The Nivelian and Terran ships began shooting at the defensless behemoths and the lasers went right into their fuel tanks...

The massive skeletal ships exploded and left bits of metal and plastic everywhere, as well as leaving seven huge empty spots where they once were.

The explosions damaged several of the fighters as well, and they rolled over and blew up.

"We've got to push them out of this system!" Bakst ordered his friends as they engaged.

A H'Soc flew past Bakst, and crashed onto one of Yakko's wingmen.

Yakko turned his head, and saw the two ships hit each other and explode.

He had a stunned, speechless look on his face, as he realized that the Nivelians that are around now have nothing to do with the ones who activated Ginoya.

Chapter 23: The big guns
"No....No..." Yakko mumbled, realizing one of his friends was dead.

The Aegir and the other Kinzer continued to fly with him.

His turret aimed behind him and shot down a K;suuk that was gunning for him.

The other ships split off and began attacking the turrets on the freighters.

"We've got reinforcements!" Keith announced as Gunant and a few other Midorians flew up into the battle.

Asteroids were flying inwards and slamming into the Vossk cruisers, chipping off huge peices of their armor.

The turrets could barely do anything to stop this.

Gunant's Salvehn dropped a small ball behind it, which turned out to be a turret.

The little turret was holding well on its own, blasting the Imperial Vossk ships and causing explosions everywhere.

"That's a pretty effective weapon. I should get some of those!" Yakko commented on the turret's ability.

"I have a ton of them back at my station... I don't think you noticed them, though..." Keith added.

A whole wave of Vossk Republic ships entered the battle-- along with 5 more cruisers-3 Republic Vossk, 2 Nivelian.

A series of smaller battleships with large turrets also entered the battlefield, along with Sk'anaar-like ships with no lasers.

The Sk'anaar look-alikes branched off and began shooting missiles at the Imperial cruisers, and the Hydra was still eradicating everything in its path, along with 3 other Void fighters that were chasing together after a gun-freighter.

The VoidX trio destroyed the turret on top of the freighter, and then the freighter itself, which released several smaller ships when it exploded.

The mini-ships were extremely fast, and nothing could hit them, not even the Hydra.

"How are we going to hit those?" Keith demanded to know.

"We should shoot get them to chase the Hydra-- if they're following it, they can't dodge the turrets." Yakko replied.

The Hydra's pilot, somenow knowing what they said, attracted the attention of the mini-ships, and the three turrets ripped the tiny ships apart.

Chapter 24: The Banhammer
The Imperial station off in the distance tipped over, smashing an unlucky victim, and exploded.

The cruisers continued to exchange lasers and fighters, and it was clear there was a stalemate.

A Republic cruiser and an Imperial cruiser were circling tightly in the middle of the fight; as if they were sharks surrounding a boat.

These two ships, Yakko thought, were the most important thing in the battle-- It was obvious that they both had extra armor and turrets, and even primary weapons, however as they were circling, they couldn't hit each other with those.

The turrets on both ships shot at each other, and there seemed to be no end to the battle...Until the unthinkable happened.

A huge explosion occured on the other side of the S'poon's moon, causing said moon to fall.

"Everyone we've got to get out of here--NOW!!" A Vossk commander roared over the radio.

"We can't let them melt this planet over!" Yakko yelled.

Yakko thought quickly, remembering that a certain weapon could disturb a planet's gravity.

"I hope this works..." He mumbled to himself, remembering that his siblings were on board; thoguh he was thankful that Dot was sleeping.

Yakko put a restrainer on Dot, so her neck wouldn't break, and activated the booster, pulling the lever so far that it clicked.

The ship began to move faster and faster towards the moon; and by now, the battle was already in the distance, and as the Republic forces were leaving, along with their allies, the Imperial ships were still firing.

Yakko, praying as he did it, pressed the button...

Chapter 25: Ban circumvention
He shut off his engine, as the fat missile sluggishly passed him.

It exploded off in the distance, and the moon stopped moving...

The battle was still going on in the distance, and the two cruisers were still circling ever tighter,

The fighters on both sides were scoring kills, and it seemed that the ones which had turrets did the best.

The Imperial forces were being pushed back, finally, as the Republic ships were chasing them away.

The Mido ships hovering just outside the fight were still throwing asteroids on top of the massive cruisers.

The Terran cruisers were smaller and faster than the Vossk ones and have destroyed several of them.

The battle seemed like it was wrapped up.

The Imperial ships were fleeing and the cruisers were being damaged heavily.

One final nuke, launched by Maxwell, caused the Imperials to give up.

Although, this didn't keep them from being shot at...

Soon, all that was left were the cruisers, which were nearly stripped of all their turrets, and the Nivelian cruisers and fighters began to board them.

The Nivelians and Imperial Vossk began to fistfight and exchange gunshots.

The Nivelians have already captured one of the cruisers, and hijacked it, shooting at the others with missiles.

As the Nivelians overtook the Imperial cruisers, the battle was just about finished.

"We've got an entire cruiser defecting! We need to shoot it down!" A Vossk Imperial commander barked over the radio.

The Hatsuyukis and Night Owls in the Nivelian hijack team were too small and fast for the Vossk turrets to hit, as they gracefully and beautifully dodged the lasers, like elegant swans.

They spun, looped, and rolled, making the Vossks even more angry at their arrogence.

The tiny ships landed inside the cruiser and quickly busted down the door to the cargo bay, and opened the ramp, sending all of the other ships, feul, weapons,and food were spat into space.

Another cruiser turned green on Yakko's radar.

"Eeehhhh...Anyone else think that the Nivelians can hold out on their own?" Yakko asked.

"Yeah, I think they can just shoot the others down now that they've stolen a cruiser." Keith responded.

"Keith, Yakko, can you help me with something? I need to shoot down a small ship that has large turrets on it, and I can't get close enough!" Gunant asked.

Yakko and Keith found this ship, and it was fighting with the Hydra, and it seemed that the two were evenly matched.

Chapter 26: Hydra vs. Hydra
The Hydra aimed for the engine of its Vossk counterpart and let it all loose.

The resulting explosion sent the Vossk Hydra spiraling out of control, but it slowly managed to correct itself, and rose back up.

"(Void Language)!" the Hydra pilot screeched in frustration.

The Hydra pilot was clearly getting angry at how resilient the Vossk ship was; It was almost as if he were cursing when he yelled.

The Hydra launched a missile backwards and it hit the Vossk ship right on the canopy, and the explosion destroyed the lower part of the ship.

As the carcass fell down to the planet, the turrets were still shooting.

"Even if they're still firing, there's no way that ship will survive re-entry into S'poon's atmosphere... It will burn up." Yakko explained.

Just as he said, the destroyed ship caught fire on the bottom, and the turrets bursted like bubble wrap; Then, the ship itself was ripped apart into flaming shreds, and exploded.

"(Void language)!!" the Hydra pilot retorted, as if he were saying, "Good riddance!"

The battle was finally over.

"Thank you all for helping me defend my home system... That is very honorable..." Bakst announced.

As everyone was returning home, Gunant asked " Hey, Yakko, do you want me to teach you how to mine plasma?"

"I'm willing to learn how... I'll be glad to come with you." Yakko replied.

Keith came along with them, as they warped to Var Hastra.

Chapter 27: Plasma practice
The tear appeared in the sky, and the three ships popped out.

"Alright, Yakko... Follow me." Gunant instructed.

"We need to go to the station and get some ionizing missiles first. We'll also need a plasma collector and a filter. These aren't that good, but they'll do for now."

As they docked, Gunant mounted the missiles, the filter, and the plasma collector onto the Ranetev.

"We need at least 15 of these. If you run out of them, you can always find more." Gunant added.

The two left the station, and Yakko followed Gunant to a gas cloud.

"When you see the cloud, fly up to it, and launch the missile when you're close enough, but don't get too close!" he explained.

"Now, after you launch the missile, stop your engine and use the plasma collector to gather the solidified plasma." Gunant added.

When the cloud was close, Yakko launched the missile and stopped his engine.

Wakko, however, protested to having the turret removed.

"Wakko, you'll have to stay in here with Dot for now... I'll let you beck in the turret when we're done with this." Yakko said to his brother.

"I want the turret...It was fun!" Wakko pouted.

Yakko climbed into the plasma collector and gathered the plasma spheres.

Wakko mumbled to himself and complained...

As Yakko climbed back into the ship, Wakko accidentally kicked him in the face.

"Watch where you're putting your feet, bro! You hit me in the face..." Yakko groaned.

"I'm sorry, Yakko, I didn't mean to.." Wakko replied.

Yakko took control of the ship again.

"Get it all?" Gunant asked.

"Yup. Every last bit of it." Yakko replied.

"I want you to know, there are 4 types of plasma: The green plasma is found here in the Mido Confederation, the blue plasma is found near Aquilia, the purple plasma is near Pascal Inartu, and the red plasma.... It's dangerously volitile, and might explode if you put it under too much stress... If you still want to know where to find it, it's dep in Vossk territory." Gunant explained.

"I'm lucky I won't need to worry about collecting the red kind... Is this stuff dangerous if consumed?" Yakko asked.

"Of course it is--It's plasma, and it's extremly hot!" Gunant answered.

"I wanted to know because I was afraid Wakko would swallow it." Yakko added.

Gunant was laughing over the radio.

" You're a funny one, you are... Especially your brother! He's hilarious!" Gunant said as he continued laughing.

"Hey, Gunant?" Yakko asked.

"Yes?" Gunant replied, supressing giggles.

"Do you mind going on a mining trip with us to the W'medda system?" Yakko added,

Chapter 28: Asteroid mining
"Okay, now that the fighting's over... Which planet?" Gunant asked.

"S'koonk. There's plenty of ore there, because it's actually not a planet, it's a large asteroid, and they let you mine there if you pay a fine. The W'meddans made a lot of money off of their mining industry there... That's why a few of their systems have multiple stations, and also why their tech levels are so high." Yakko added.

"I think I saw it in the distance when we were fighting... It had a couple of moons... Do the moons have stations?" Gunant asked again.

"Not that I know of-- So far, I've never seen a moon with a station, much less an asteroid... This would be the first time I saw an asteroid with a station, much less with 3 moons." Yakko answered.

"I'll come along, too. I'm interested in this, I've never seen an asteroid like that either." Keith added.

The three ships tore a rip in the sky, and fell through.

The three arrived at S'koonk.

It was a very big asteroid, and Yakko was astonished.

"So, where should we start?" Yakko asked.

"Well, first we need to pay the fine so we can mine from the asteroid..." Gunant replied.

Dot woke up.

"Huh? Where are we, Yakko? " Dot asked her brother.

"We're at S'koonk, it's a large asteroid that we're going to mine from" Yakko answered,

Yakko payed the fine and landed on a nearby tiny asteroid.

"I'm not going to mine this little guy, I'm going to pick him up and bring him to the station--They let you sell small asteroids." Yakko explained.

"That's a good idea..." Gunant added.

Wakko was busy playing Angry Birds on Yakko's iPhone, so Yakko had no reason to worry about him complaining because the turret was removed.

Dot was watching him, as Yakko carried the small asteroid over to the station and landed.

"Alright, sibs, I want you to help me carry this asteroid into the station so they can give me a price," Yakko said.

"Okay, but can I eat it afterwards?" Wakko asked.

"Wakko, we went through this before--No, you can't." Yakko replied.

"Aww.... I wanted to..." Wakko added.

The three got out of the Ranetev and opened the cargo bay, pulling the space rock out of it.

A Vossk miner walked up to them.

"I see you've got an asteroid... Mind if I study it and give you a price?" he asked.

"Okay, sibs, let's sit it down so he can take a look at it." Yakko instructed.

Wakko and Dot gently let the rock down, and the Vossk scanned it.

Chapter 29:Untold riches
"Hmm... I think the three of you are going to have a bigger ship soon! This asteroid is filled with diamonds and platinum! You've hit the mother lode! Let's see, if it's a 72 ton asteroid, diamonds are worth 2000$ per pound, and platinum 10,000$ per pound... You're off the charts! It's 1,728,000,000$!" the miner gasped.

"It's the most beautiful asteroid I've ever--...." The miner fainted from surprise, and fell over with a loud thud.

"I hope he's OK..." Wakko said.

"I'm sure he is, but we need to get him somewhere where he won't get hurt." Yakko affirmed.

The three siblings picked up the miner, and brought him to the Space Lounge.

Just then, he woke up.

"Uhhh... What happened?" he asked.

"You drank too much and passed out!" Wakko lied.

"I must have drank an enormous amount of alcohol then, because us Vossks are very resistant to it..."

"Want me to show you?" the miner replied as he picked up a glass of Ni'mrrod Muck.

"Eeehhhh... No, thank you- I'm not 21 and--" Yakko was cut off when the miner poured the drink into Yakko's mouth.

It was quiet.

Chapter 30: Drunken lullibies
"Yakko, are you OK?" Dot asked her jittering brother.

Yakko said nothing, but stood there, vibrating.

"W-w-hat was that noise? I see a flock of b-birds out there! Let's-s go catch 'em!" Yakko yelled incoherently.

"Yakko, we're in space, there aren't any birds out there!" Wakko attempted to explain.

"Yabba-Dabba doo-dah!" Yakko splattered as he flipped over the table in drunken rage and attempted to run off, but in alcohol-induced clumsiness, stepped on his foot and fell over.

"Ahh, who ne-needs ya anyways." Yakko mumbled as he got back up.

He scrambled to his feet and begam snatching people's drinks and pouring them all over himself.

"It's r-raining! Get  an umb-*burp*-rell-ll-a!" Yakko splattered.

He flipped over another table, and a Vossk walked by and yelled "Put the table back! You'll have to pay for it!"

There was a missile hung up on some hooks, and Yakko pulled it off and ate it.

There was a muffled explosion sound, and Yakko quickly ballooned and burped up fire and smoke, setting the highly flammable boozes on fire. The glasses busted, sploshing boiling alcohol everywhere.

"I l-l-love peppers...and Laffy...and PEPPERS!" Yakko gagged on the smoke as he yelled this.

The miner facepalmed.

"What have I done..." he mimbled.

Yakko ran towards the exit.

He vomited on the floor, and then ran off, outside the Space lounge, and Gunant, who conveiniently happened to be there, grabbed him.

Yakko was squirming and kicking his feet.

"What's wrong with you, Yakko?" Gunant questioned his drunken friend.

Wakko and Dot ran up to him, along with the miner.

"He's drunk. I gave him a sip of Ni'mrrod Muck, and even though it was barely a teaspoon full, he got drunk from it. I didn't know that...Whatever species he is... was so sensitive to alcohol." the miner explained.

"You know how strong Vossk boozes are... You should have known that a Toon like him would become extremly intoxicated from even a small amount." Gunant scolded.

Yakko bit Gunant's arm, and ran free.

"Ouch! That hurt... We've got to catch him!" Gunant said.

The group chased after Yakko, and he tried to get into the Ranetev, but because he was drunk, he couldn't figure out how to climb in.

The miner, and Gunant both snatched Yakko.

"We've got to tie him up intil he becomes sober again, because Vossk liquor is very strong." Gunant instructed as Wakko and Dot tied up their brother's feet and hands.

Gunant picked up the struggling Toon and put him in the cargo hold.

"How are we going to soberize him? Just wait?" Gunant asked.

"Unfortunately... Do any of you others know how to fly a ship?" the miner asked.

"I do, but I don't think that Yakko's siblings can... Gunant answered.

Gunant, Wakko, and Dot jumped into the ship, and Gunant found there was barely enough room for him.

His Berger Cross Special was waiting in the hangar.

Chapter 31- What fourth wall?
Yakko had fallen asleep in the back of the ship, still drunk.

"Do you think I should take him back, or not?" Gunant asked Wakko.

"I don't know... I've never seen anyone drunk before." Wakko replied.

There were a series of thumps reverbirating through the ship.

Muffled yelling was heard from the back.

"I think Yakko's having a nightmare or something." Wakko said.

The ship landed on S'koonk, and the cargo door opened---

Yakko suddenly popped up in front of the whole scene, as if walking in front of a TV someone was watching.

"Woah,woah woah- Hold on a second, here! There's no air out there, I'm gonna die!" Yakko yelled.

"Get back in the frame, Yakko! We need some of that fourth wall still standing!" Keith hollered.

Yakko made a pouting face and marched off, grumbling to himself, and the scene resumed.

Gunant and Wakko slipped into spacesuits and lifted Yakko up; carrying him outside.

He began to choke.

"Ack---Hhuhhhh---Uuuhhh...." Yakko groaned.

The two gently placed him down, and he woke up.

"Wha--Ecckk!!" Yakko tried to talk but he quickly realized there was no air, and Wakko and Gunant carried him back on the ship, closed the door, and engaged the cargo bay scrubber.

Yakko was gagging on the newly found air, which was mostly helium, with a small amount of oxygen.

He was breathing heavily, but managed to regain his breath.

"Why-w....Why did you do that? I could have died!" Yakko cried.

He looked at his brother.

"Wakko... You could have killed me, bro! How would you live with yourself if you killed your best brother buddy?" Yakko was pooling up tears in his eyes, and fast looked away, wiping his face with his arm.

"I'm sorry, Yakko...I...I just.... I heard... That was how to un-drunk someone... I-I didn't mean to scare you!" Wakko pouted.

"It's OK, bro, I know you had a reason.." Yakko replied with a squeaky voice.

"Your voice is funny!" Wakko shouted as he started laughing.

Yakko started bloating.

"Helium this thick in the air makes us Toons sick... We  inflate.... I don't know if I'll be able to fly the ship like this." the squeaky-voiced Yakko added.

Just as he said, Yakko bloated like a balloon.

"You look silly! I'm gonna tako a photo!" Wakko giggled as he pulled out a camera from nowhere and took a picture.

Chapter 32- The mirror
"I look weird, don't I? I wish I had a mirror..." Yakko said squeakily.

Wakko pulled out a mirror from behind his back that was way too big to have fit there.

"Here, bro. Don't laugh yourself to death!" Wakko chuckled as he showed his brother how silly he looked.

"I look like a monster! I can't go in the station like this! My hands are big enough for me to cover up my head! And I'm bloated! My feet are so huge that someone's bound to step on them!" Yakko cried.

"Chill, bro! All you have to do is wait! although, there will be a bit of permenant swelling left over from this, mainly on your paws and your hands, it's not much, and it should be hard for anyone to see!" Wakko replied.

"Yakko, are you going to be OK? You seemed a bit crazy in the Space Lounge..." Gunant added.

"I was drunk, Gunant. Those Vossk beers...They're so strong that a couple drips of it rose my BAC to 2.7!" Yakko affirmed.

The scrubber replaced the helium with oxygen and Yakko's hand bloating went down enough for him to fly the ship again.

"Phew...I can fly the ship again... But what are we going to do about my voice and those paws?" Yakko asked.

"I don't know, but at least you can fly your ship again." Gunant replied.

Yakko climbed into the pilot's seat and lifted off, heading for the station.

When they docked, Gunant jumped out of the Ranetev and went into the Berger Cross Special.

"I'll be seeing you three later-- I've got to meet back up with Keith so we can mine more ores!" Gunant announced.

Yakko stepped out of the ship, along with Wakko and Dot.

"I hope nobody mistakes me for a huge-handed, helium breathing sasquatch..." Yakko mimbled.

"It's OK, bro! Let's go to the bathroom, maybe you just need to potty!" Wakko added.

Yakko clumisly followed his brother, but his huge feet were slowing him down.

"I'm coming, Wakko, but I feel like I'm wearing boots made of lead!" Yakko hollered, groaning each time he lifted a limb.

When they finaly got to the restroom, Wakko took a needle, and poked both of Yakko's hands with it. There was a hissing sound, and the helium escaped into the air, as his hands returned to normal size.

"Wakko, that was genius!" Yakko congratulated his brother.

"Now, your feet!" Wakko giggled as Yakko put his paws on the changing table, and Wakko poked them both.

The helium excaped, and Yakko looked normal again.

"Thanks, bro... Now, we need to get out of here before we both end up the same way again!" Yakko said.

Chapter 33- the R.E.D Menace
The sibs left the restroom, and entered the Ranetev.

A fat, red ship rocketed by.and shook the whole station.

"What was that?" Wakko asked.

"It was a Teneta R.E.D... And I don't think that it was being flown by its normal pilot." Yakko replied.

The Teneta shot down a K'saar freighter outside the station.

Then, seven other ships came in after it.

"Let's go after these guys!" Yakko shouted as he mounted the turret.

"Yay! I get to use the turret again!" Wakko cheered as he jumped in it.

The ship lifted off, and the Hydra blasted past Yakko.

"What's he doing here?" Yakko asked.

"(Void Language!)" the pilot growled.

The Hydra's 3 turrets aimed for the R.E.D, but the Teneta's turret aimed back, and destroyed one of the Hydra's turrets!

Yakko was speechless.

"How did he do that? This thing was unstoppable last time we saw it!" Keith yelled.

Two other ships tried to get behind the Hydra...

The Hydra shot them up, but their thick armors protected them from having holes punched in them the way the other ships did.

The Hydra aimed for the turrets of the other ships, and blasted them off.

An explosion sounded, and the Hydra shook as a mine exploded next to it, destroying a turret.

The Hydra was surrounded by an impenetrable shield and docked at the station.

"(Void Language!)" the pilot panted as he climbed out.

"What are you saying?" Yakko asked the pilot.

The pilot pulled out a tablet and was poking the screen franticly.

He then turned it around and showed it to Yakko.

"We need your help. This group of ships has been attacking us all of the time and destroying our stations! The Voids that you knew, they were pirates, and we hated them much as you hate your pirates. But, the Hydra, my ship, is in terrible shape, and needs new turrets." Yakko read from the screen.

"I don't know how to help you unless you give me a blueprint..." Yakko replied.

The Void pilot erased the message, and typed a new one: "I have sent the blueprint files to your ship's computer, as well as a signature. Make use of it, and if you see bandits, the signature will make their ships appear white."

Yakko climbed onto the Hydra and dismounted the crippled turrets.

"I'll fix these for you... Meanwhile, you can take these Matador AT-64 auto-turrets... They're auto versions of the turret on my ship.." Yakko huffed these words as he picked up the heavy turret and the pilot helped him mount them.

Yakko quickly looked outside, and saw another Hydra, on fire, with its turrets destroyed. The R.E.D closed in on it and rammed it like road kill...

Chapter 34: The R.E.D Menace, Part II
The R.E.D slammed into the flaming Hydra, ripping such a large hole in it that it tore into smithereens and exploded.

The small bits of it still intact had the turrets on, firing despirately and the R.E.D, which pulled up sharply, and did a corkscrew, as the turrets sat ablaze from firing with no cooling system, and melted as they were still shooting.

"I don't know what's more relentless, that Teneta or those turrets!" Wakko shouted.

The Void pilot held up the tablet again: "My name is Zss'kt. I am a high-ranking pilot, a war hero of my sector. I am seeking another war hero... Do you know where he is, and who I am talking about?"

"Yes, I do... He's the very one who saved my and my siblings from dying..." Yakko replied.

Keith's Gryphon flew in and landed right next to the Zss'ky's Hydra.

"Who? What? Huh? A Void? He's the Hydra pilot?" Keith asked.

"Yeah, and he can write in English, which you probably call Terran by now... He just can't speak it." Yakko answered.

The R.E.D turned around.

"Oh, shit..." Keith gulped.

A large, fat missile dropped from the R.E.D and headed towards S'koonk.

Everyone braced for what was about to happen.

Even Zss'kt knew that his life was in danger.

"Everybody, GET DOWN!" Keith yelled at the top of his lungs as the hangar clamps locked the ships down and everyone hid in their cargo holds.

A loud, and undeniably epic explosion tore through space like a hungry giant.

S'koonk shattered and 2 of its moons were sent flying away forever.

The other one was vaporized.

All of the small asteroids were thrown against the station, hitting the walls like the blows of a warhammer.

An asteroid flew punctured the windows in the space lounge, decompressing the whole area as the airlock emergency doors fell down to keep the air inside.

The doors fell so fast, they broke the sound barrier.

Ppmmfff!!'

The loud Sonic Boom rocked the whole station even more as asteroids continued to smash everything outside.

Chapter 35: Veteran of War
An unlucky ship used its booster  in an attempt to get to the hangar, but was severly damaged by a tiny asteroid pulverizing its engine, and its turret exploded.

The flaming ultimatum ship managed to crawl its way inside the hangar, but not without a great cost.

Its cargo, spilled into space and was lost forever.

All 480 tons of it.

"What a waste of perfectly good medicine, water,food,organs,implants, and spice!" Yakko yelled as the crippled Veteran entered the hangar.

"He's comin' in too hot! He's gonna crash!" Wakko screamed.

As he said, the Veteran landed lobsidedly, lost a wing, sat fire all over the ground, and rolled on its side as it bumped into the back of the hangar and skidded to a halt.

The cockpit hatch exploded, and the pilot climbed out.

"Old Faithful! She's ruined! My ship... No...My girl's...Gone..." The pilot was down to his knees, banging his fists on the ground, crying.

Keith patted him.

The pilot turned around, and nearly fainted when he realized who he was looking at.

"K-K-Keith T. Maxwell? I never thought I'd see you in my life!" the pilot gasped.

"I can help you get a new ship..." Keith said.

He pulled out Yakko's iPhone and used it to transfer 1,750,000 credits to the unlucky pilot's account.

"I've transferred credits to you so you can buy a new Veteran...

Wait, why don't you get a Rhino, dissassemble the Veteran, and carry it to a repair center so they can rebuild it?" Keith asked.

The pilot snapped his fingers and Yakko went up to the wrecked ship, flipping it back over, and, with the help of 3 Vossks, carried the wing back to the rest of the ship, careful to avoid the fire strewn on the ground.

Chapter 36: The Void Empire
"We need to get to the Void empire, then we can make more of those turrets..." Yakko anounced.

Zss'kt nodded.

The R.E.D and its friends seem to have left, feeling that the asteroids have caused enough trouble on their own.

The four ships lifted off, and ripped a hole in the sky, then slipped through.

They arrived at Zs'pp.

The Void station was surrounded by fighters.

"They must have tightened security since the pirate attacks... And that's a good thing!" Yakko said.

"Yeah, because the pirates were always annoying!" Keith replied.

Yakko set the autopilot to the station, and Keith began mining asteroids.

When Yakko landed, Wakko and Dot climbed out along with him and Zss'kt landed too.

Zss'kt handed Yakko a small, purple device.

"What does it do?" he asked.

Zss'kt began typing on the tablet again, and held it up.

"It's a translator. Press the button on the left to translate Void to Terran, and the button on the right to translate Terran to Void." the tablet read.

A group of 3 Hydras flew by along with 2 VoidXs.

Yakko pressed the button on the translator, and stuck it over his mouth.

"We have a turret blueprint, and we need parts, here is the list. Do you have anything we could use?" Yakko spoke this but it came out as Void.

Yakko quickly tapped the other button, and the merchant began talking.

He said "(Void Language)", but it came out as "Yes, we have the items you need, but not enough. You might have to keep looking unless you can find someone in the Space Lounge."

A small freighter flew up behind Yakko and sucked up the ingrediants with a laser, sending them back to S'koonk station.

The tiny robo-ship shot off, and dissappeared with a twinkling light.

Chapter 37: Honor is hard
Soon, a Void cargo ship arrived with the turrets.

Yakko and Zss'kt then mount them onto the Hydra.

All of a sudden, however, things take a downhill turn...

A blood red hole rips through the sky, like the claw of a wolf, and the R.E.D and its wingmen spew out.

An alarm starts to go off.

"They're here! We can talk later, all units to your positions!!" A Void commander yelled over the station's intercom.

The three siblings climbed into their ship and took off, and were met by Keith's Gryphon.

"You take down the wingmen, I'll get the R.E.D!" Keith ordered.

Yakko affirmed, and rolled off, chasing one of the ships.

Wakko aimed the turret at its engine, and let loose, blowing out the proppulsion system, and making the ship's engines shut off, rendering it unable to turn or slow down.

"Finish him, bro!" Yakko commanded his brother.

Wakko nodded, and blasted the Teneta into shreds.

The other 6 ships were fighting with the Hydra, and there seemed to be an equality between them- The Hydra was holding its ground, but so were the others.

One of the ships suddenly bursted into flames, and collided with its friend, before breaking apart and exploding.

The victim of the collision was still flying, but it was doomed anyways-- one of its wings, 2 engines, and a primary slot were destroyed along with the turret and 3 secondary slots.

The flaming ship was leaking propellant in a trail, and it seemed as if it were blood.

The wounded Teneta shut off its engines, turned around, and broadcasted a surrender beacon.

"He's surrendering. We should escort him to--" Yakko was cut off by the R.E.D blasting the traitor to pieces as the cockpit of the crippled ship detached and rocketed off towards the station.

The R.E.D did not want the defector to survive.

Its turret mutilated the defensless escape pod, and all was quiet.

Chapter 38- An old enemy
"That pilot had just surrendered." Keith said to the R.E.D pilot, with a stiff rage in his voice.

"You are the same as you've always been, Maxwell! You will never change!" the pilot said, and Keith was astonished to find out who it was.

"I thought you were dead! I shot you down 35 years ago! How did you survive, and why are you doing this?" Maxwell demanded.

"It does not matter, for you will die now, just like you should have three and a half decades ago!" Vlad retorted.

Yakko rolled the Ranetev over and the turret shot in front of one of Vlad's wingmen.

The lasers went right into the cockpit, and there was a puff of smoke and flame, as glass bits trailed off from the ship and a figure floated out.

The ship, unguided and dangerous, kept going, its turret still shooting.

It impacted with a nearby asteroid, and the rock bounced off and fractured as the crumpled ship flipped around and exploded.

The Ranetev turned around again, and launched a missile at the other ship and, to his surprise, the chubby Teneta dodged it!

The fat ship got a lock on Yakko and blew out one of his engines.

The shield injector that Keith snuck on board sent a lightining bolt towards the attacker, and zapped it dry.

Yakko's shield recharged and the other ship self-destructed.

"There's 3 wingmen left!" Yakko announced.

Then...

Pzzzttt!!

Chapter 39- A Family Reunion
A Berger Cross Special and a red Salvehn appeared from the jumpgate.

"We'll help you! You did some heroic deeds back there in Ginoya and me and my father have come to repay you!" Gunant IV said.

The two ships branched off, and Ginant IV's turret  was unlike any that Yakko, or Keith for that matter, had ever seen.

"Gunant 4, you don't mind me asking what type of turret that is, do you?" Yakko asked.

"It's a prototype of the Skuld turret. It's much more powerful though, and they decided to water it down because they felt it was too dangerous and unfair." Gunant 4 explained.

The little turret was shooting holes through the remaining 3 Tenetas, and they soon tried to escape via jumpgate, but not before Vlad shot one of them down.

"Do not flee from the battle! You are cowards to do that! Stay and fight!" Vlad roared at his henchmen.

"You certainly have no idea of how to properly lead a squadron! Shooting down your wingmen when they're trying to get their ships repaired... Dispicable!" Yakko snapped at Vlad, having had enough of his betraying his squadron.

"Who are you? You have no right to tell me how to lead a squadron! They need to be honorable and being a coward is certainly not that!" Vlad replied as Yakko blew up his engine.

The R.E.D's heavy armor was blocking most of the lasers, so the group concentrated on his engines.

A tiny explosion sounded in Vlad's cockpit and burned his arm.

"Shit! My autopilot's ruined and secondary systems are down!! " He yelled to himself.

The other two wingmen slid downwards from above, and stood in front of Vlad's escaping ship like iron gates.

"We'll have to deal with these first!" Gunant exclaimed as he began shredding the Tenetas apart.

Keith used his Raccoons to destroy their turrets, and Gunant 4 was attacking their bellies while Yakko went for their cockpits.

The two ships were twisted into tattered shreds by the massive amount of lasers pulverizing them.

Suddenly, a black Inflict twinkled into exsistance.

"Thought you'd start this without me? I'm stunned!" the pilot said.

"Mkkt Bkkt? What the Hell are you doing here?" Keith was dumbfounded.

"Helping you kick this guy's can!" Mkkt replied.

The black Inflict shot a laser unlike any Keith had known. It was a disc- shaped beam, and was incredibly fast.

The R.E.D bursted into flames.

Gunant 4 closed in and shot a stream of solar pellets at Vlad.

The plasma smacked the ship like a whip, and scorched it badly, the gamma radiation damaging the hull.

Gunant Breh and Keith followed, and both launched missiles at the escaping ship, bits of armor being blown off and nearly hitting them.

Chapter 40- Menace no more
By then, Vlad's Teneta R.E.D was exposed and almost all of its armor was gone.

There was no way he'd be able to enter an atmosphere without burning up.

Gunant 4 and Mkkt Bkkt fired relentlessly at the naked Teneta; and a huge explosion appeared from the side of the ship.

It was nearly disintegrated from the blast.

The armor plates below the cabin slid back, and the cockpit section of the ship slipped off and began flying away.

Yakko was going after him, MD12 blazing.

"What are you doing? I've surrendered!" Vlad said upsetly.

"You shot down your friends when they surrendered, so why shouldn't I treat you any different?" Yakko responded, as he blasted Vlad's escape pod to bits.

All was quiet.

Chapter 41- Mystery ships
As the group turned back towards the station, two certain ships were found floating among the asteroids.

"Huh? What are those? How did they get here?" Yakko asked.

"I think that the ship on the left is a Hawk-class fighter... But the other one, looks like a modified Phantom...How can we carry these ships back to Kaamo?" Keith replied with a question.

"I think I can help you with that one. I've got an asteroid clamp back at the station, why don't we go get it?" Gunant added.

The four ships tore a hole in the sky and fell into it.

When they arrived, they found the jumpgate was being overwhelmed by incoming ships.

Ppppzzzztt!!

Ppzzzztttt!!!

It spat out two Nivelian fighters; However, they did not attack.

Pzzzt!

Ppzzztt!!

Out came a freighter and three more fighters.

Hold on, everybody! I don't think they're here to fight!" Yakko announced.

The freighter hovered next to the station and linked to it; Shuttle bots were going to and fro, carrying boxes and crates.

"Maxwell, is that you? I haven't seen you in a very long time..." the freighter pilot asked.

"Krant? The same thing could be said of you! Anyways, I came here to collect an asteroid clamp belonging to my friend in the Berger CrossXT that's flying alongside.

We found two ships in orbit of a friendly station, and we wanted to pick them up with the clamp." Keith explained.

"That's not really very safe-- it could damage the ships to pick them up with a clamp designed for asteroids. Show me the system, and I'll pick them up for you." Krant replied.

Krant's freighter and his escorts followed the group through the jumpgate, which by now was ready to overload.

Ppzzzzztttt!!

The jumpgate exploded shortly afterward.

The three ships landed at Z'ssp.

"This looks like a Void system! They're not friendly, are they?" Krant asked.

"Actually, yes, they are. The Voids, that were raiding the rest of the galaxy were Void Pirates! If you do see those Void bandits again, they'll look white." Yakko explained.

The Nivelian fighters broke off.

"Hey, are these the ships you were talking about?" A Hatsy pilot asked.

"Yes, those are the ones. The one on the left is an at least 35 year old predecessor to the Inflict fighter, and the other appears to be a heavily modified Inflict." Krant analyzed.

"Actually it's not an Inflict, it's a modified Phantom... The Phantom itself, is a modified version of the Hawk, which is the ship on the left." Yakko explained.

Chapter 42- Yakko's lost love
Yakko flew up to the ships, and scanned the Phantom XT.

"42 tons of Towels?" Yakko said, confused.

The freighter beamed the two ships in and sucked them up.

Inside the freighter, a Nivelian walked up to the Hawk and opened its cockpit.

A being similar to Yakko, but female, was inside the ship.

"This is Misho Randall. The pilot appears to belong to Yakko's species. It's a female." Misho radioed.

"Roger, I'm coming." Krant replied as he set the freighter on autopilot to the station.

Yakko's Ranetev loomed above the freighter and docked onto it.

He quickly climbed out of the Ranetev and his siblings followed him down the blocky, spiral ramp, to the cargo hold.

"This floor is cold, my feet hurt!" Wakko whined.

"Calm down, bro, you'll be fine!" Yakko replied as the three exited the cargo hold, and saw the Hawk.

He jumped, and nearly fainted when he saw Laffy in the cockpit, being dragged out.

She was laying on the floor, with several Nivelians trying to wake her up.

Yakko ran as fast as he could to his love...

He kneeled down, and lifted her head.

"Laffy, are you OK? Talk to me! " Yakko cried.

Laffy's eyes slowly opened.

"...Yakko? Where am I? I was trying to get to a station called "Eden Prime..." but I see that I made it to a place that's far better... I never thought I'd have seen you again, but I'm glad I did!" Laffy whispered, as Yakko bent down and kissed her.

"Look, I really don't want to bother you two since you've not seen eachother for 35 years, but that other ship needs our attention." Misho pushed.

"I'll take a look at it." Laffy responded as she got up, and pulled the hatch off of the Phantom XT's cockpit. (!)

And inside it...

Chapter 43-Slippery slug
...Was a Bobolian.

"Trillyx? Why aren't you in jail?" Yakko asked.

"What the Hell are you anyways? You look like a Terran infant's drawing!" Noid spat.

Wakko jumped onto the Bobolian, and put a sloppy kiss on his face.

"Did ya miss me?" Wakko laughed.

Trillyx shook Wakko off and retorted "I don't even know who, or what, you are!"

A Hatsuyuki docked with the freighter and a Nivelian cop jumped out.

"It's about time we found you! Time to get back to your cell!" he said.

The man grabbed Trillyx and dragged him off.

"I'll get you for this! I'll get you all!" Trillyx screamed as he was shoved into the ship's tiny cargo hold.

"Looks like he got stomped!" Yakko giggled.

Laffy looked up to him.

"I want to be a pilot like you, Yakko! I swear I'll follow iin your footsteps, even if you turn terrible!

The only problem is, I don't like hurting people... I'm a pacifist, and I don't want to kill anyone, even criminals. They may be evil, but they're still people..." Laffy said.

"I've got a solution-- You could use EMP weapons! There are all sorts of them, and I think they'd fit you perfectly!" Yakko replied.

" What do they do?" Laffy asked.

"EMP weapons electrocute the ship's computer so that it is paralyzed and becomes harmless, and it can't hurt the pilot either.... So, unless you care about the ship too, then they're perfect. Of course, you might want to carry extra weapons too, just in case..." Yakko added.

Chapter 44: Pacifist preaches PWNage
Suddenly, a large explosion rocked the freighter.

"Woah! We've gotta get to our ships! I equipped 3 EMP lasers to your Hawk, Laffy! Hurry up and get in it before this freighter blows apart and we suffocate!

Everyone scatters to their ships, and as Yakko and his sibs climb into the Ranetev, he attempts to start the engine but it doesn't ignite.

"Shit! The engine must be out! We'll have to leave her behind!" Yakko yelled in frustration.

A nearby docked ship saved the lives of the Warner sibs.

"Don't worry, Yakko! You can save her later!

Laffy's Hawk was the first ship to escape, and she lit the booster, rocketing ahead into the swarm of pirates and Imperial Vossk ships.

Her EMP lasers fired, arcing lightning into an unlucky pirate, and the electricity ricocheted off and jumped from ship to ship, paralyzing all of them.

" Whoa-ho-ho, look at my girl kickin' ass!" Yakko cheered.

Yakko's ship undocked just as the frieghter exploded, and a cloud of Nivelian ships came in from far away.

" Yakko to Keith, Gunant, and Laffy: I'm reading a cloud of Nivvy ships in the distance, mostly Dace and Hatsuyuki." Yakko announced.

"I'm breaking off!" Laffy replied as her ship spun over, sparkles flying everywhere.

A missile fired from her ship and pummled the Imperial cruiser.

It went into the hangar and incapacitated all of the ships.

A green rip appeared in the sky, and Gunant 4 shot out, booster engaged.

"Thought you'd kickass withou me, dad?" he said.

The group of ships aligned with the cloud of Nivelian ships and all Hell broke loose.

A Pirate Cruiser came in through the jumpgate.

" How the Hell did that mostrosity fit through the jumpgate?" Gunant 4 shouted, as the beastly ship fractured into 5 smaller ones.

"What the-? I've never seen anything like this before!" Yakko added.

Keith came in from behind, with a dozen Void fighters and 3 Hydras.

"I'm here to help too! Now that we're all teamed up, what are we after?" Keith asked.

Chatper 45:False enemy
The massive Allied cloud of ships headed for the Void planet down below where a skirmish was visible.

The atmosphere of the planet began pounding against them.

"Everyone, angle you ships' noses up to 45 degrees and keep it there! If you don't, you'll fireball!" Keith screamed.

As the fire engulfed the bellies of the ships, a massive explosion was heard from behind.

A massive group of Void Pirates (Virgo)  flew out of the explosion, and began ripping the Nivelian ships apart.

"Look at them, flying out of a mushroom cloud like a bunch of badasses!" Yakko yelled.

The explosion caught up to most of the escorts, and dozens of Nivelian ships bursted into flames and fell into the ground, leaving burning, irradiated streaks in the dirt.

Laffy couldn't bare to look; Tears filled her eyes as she turned back towards space.

"Laffy, what are you dong, babe? The fight's over here!" Yakko said gently.

"I can't watch so many people die helplessly.... I just can't take it! I'd rather turn back!" Laffy cringed at all the death and destruction going on around her.

"Girl, you don't have to hurt anyone-- the weapons I gave you can't hurt a fly... The only thing they hurt is the ship, not the pilot.." Yakko added.

"Guys, I'm turning back. Me and Laffy are going to have some long-needed quality time together." Yakko aannounced as he and his wife turned around and warped out to Kappa.

When they made it, Laffy was first to talk.

"So, the Nivelians aren't the real enemy here, are they?"

"No... They aren't. You saw how they tried to help us; How they supplanted our force with such a large number of backup fighters.

Chapter 46: Nostalgic retreat
It was nighttime on Kappa, and Yakko and Laffy splashed down headlong into the waters of the planet.

"Does this remind you of anything?" Yakko asked.

"Why yes, it does!" Laffy replied.

The two ships glided down towards an underwater station.

A large fish passed by.

"Ooh, did you see that? It looked like an angler fish!" Laffy said.

"I believe it was... Those fish aren't really anything too mean, they won't hurt us unless we shoot at them." Yakko replied.

A submarine exited the station and floated by.

" Hey, you know that those ships can only last for so long underwater, right? You'll need submarines or water shields if you want to stay under!" the pilot said.

"Well, me and my wife here just wanted to have a night out-- We weren't planning on staying for a long time..." Yakko answered.

The two ships docked at the base.

As Yakko climbed out, he twisted his ears together and wringed water out of them.

"So, Laffy, why don't we hit the lounge? I heard they have stuff there that we can actually drink!" Yakko asked.

" Yeah! Let's go!" Laffy cheered.

The two entered a long, cylendrical plexiglass hallway with the fish visible through them.

"Look at all of the cute little fishies! I wish we could keep one!" Laffy squeed as a school of tiny fish swam by them.

Laffy and Yakko turned around and kept walking.

A large Nivelian was blocking the doorway.

"Excuse me, sir, but me and my wife want to go inside this lounge. Will you please let us through?" Yakko asked.

"Why should I do that? You look awfully young to be hitting the Lounge, much less having a wife! And she looks only a little older then you are! I'm afraid I can't let you in." the burly Nivelian replied.

"I was born in 1986! I think I can go in the lounge if I want, given that it's 3624!" Yakko added.

The alien moved out of the way.

"Sorry to keep you out, senior citzen- wannabe!" he scoffed.

"Yakko, I'm confused... How can you be 11 if you were born in 1986? You should be like, 24 or something." Laffy asked.

"Eeehhh, Stable time loop. It's really hard to explain. It has to do with us being Toons, and we age based on how well known and respected we are.. So, if you're rarely known, but widely respected, you'll age slower than if everyone knew you but hated you... Of course, it's best to be bothe well known and wel respected, that pretty much makes you immortal-- I mean, look at Bugs and Mickey-- they'd bothe be in their last days if they were humans, but because they're famous Toons, they're still teens." Yakko explained.

"My brain hurts... I think you blew a fuse in my head." Laffy fizzled.

"Might I suggest drinking it away?" Yakko asked.

Laffy looked at him, and smiled warmly.

There were a pair of Vossks arm-wrestling in the corner, and Laffy's eyes were plastered to them.

Neither contender seemed to be slipping, and they looked to be evenly matched.

Then, an Octopod walked up to them, grabbed both of them by their hands, and shoved them over with a singly flick of a tenticle.

The two Toons were amazed at the strength of the Octopod.

He turned around and said to Laffy, "Hey, you're cute! Wanna go with me?"

"I'm already married, I'm sorry... Yakko here is my only love!" Laffy replied.

Laffy knew about how Octopods can attract females of any other species, but even their powerful attraction cannot break the love of Yakko and Laffy.

Chapter 47: Titanium love
"You should come with me! He doesn't really love you!" The Octopod growled.

The love between the Toon couple was like a Titanium support beam, unbreakable, no matter what the strain, and not weak, no matter how crippled.

"You should **** off!" Yakko roared as he slashed the Octopod in the face with a double fist punch.

The Octo was knocked back a metre and collided with a trio of tables, spilling booze everywhere.

"You shouldn't have said that. Nobody talks to Okkt Pxst like this!" Pxst yelled as he got up and threw a bottle at Yakko.

He caught the bottle mid-flight, spun it around in his hand, and threw it back.

The booze rocket was barreling towards Pxst, and it hit him square on the face and shattered, sending glass bits and beer all over him.

"You know what? I've had it with you!  You're going to--" Pxst was cut off when Yakko double-fist punched him in the back of the neck and knocked him out.

Everyone on the station, including the Nivelian from outside, was staring.

Yakko looked towards the crowd, unable to explain how he had punched out an Octopodbare handed.

"How...How did you DO that?! You don't look strong at all!" the Nivelian guard gasped.
