Jack Rabbit, Second Series #6, Siblings- Separated! Friday, 02-Jun-2000 08:06:44
Jack Rabbit, Second Series #6, Siblings- Separated! Outside of the White House, where the army, navy, national guard, and airforce continue to pile gold up for the Devil Doctor, and other troops march the female human sacrifices towards where the large Makluan known as the Devil Doctor waits, there seems to be a figure, crouched down. She's waiting. It has been crazy for Jackie Roberts these last couple of days. First her twin brother, the only member of her family left except Aunt Maybe, died. She donned this absurd costume and swore to avenge her brother. She became the new JackRabbit, changing the name to Jackie Rabbit. She then went back to her home in GothamMetropolos York to prepare her war on crime in Parodopolos. When she tried to return to the city she found it gone. There was only a gulf where once her brother's favorite city was. She went back to her apartment only to find that every one in the city was mesmerized by some Dragon guy who's set himself up in Washington. So she did what any self respecting new hero on the block would do, she went back to bed, rocked in a fetal position repeating over and over, "WhydidJackhavetodienow?Stupedalieninvasions,dragonpresidents,vanishingcitys,IDONTNEEDTHIS!" That's when the strange British man in the dirty trenchcoat with the cigarette touched her shoulder. "YAAA!" she screamed. "Now miss, that's no way to treat a guest." "WHAT GUEST? You're an intruder! GET OUT!" "Now, now Miss Roberts, I'll be leaving. Just wanted to return this to you." And with that the Englishman hands a picture of Jackie and Jack on the boardwalk to her. He then turns around to leave. She's stunned to see the picture that has been missing ever sence she arrived on the bus outside that old clock repair store. The owner of the shop wasn't there when it happened so he had no idea where her picture was. She calls out to the shady Englishman, "Hey, where did you get this? Who are you?" Not even turning around the man replies, "Con Jonstintine, madam. Your answers lie in Washington." So here she is, crouching, waiting for something. Now as the endless supply of human sacrifices march past, she cant help but realize something must be done. That's when one of the soldiers turned and hit two other soldiers over the head with a rifle. She knew an opportunity when she sees it so she jumped into the fray. Bouncing off, or to be more precise, into the soldiers sence she cant quite master her powers like her brother could. "Hey! Jackie Rabbit! Thanks for the assist!" yells the man as he takes out a few more troops. "No problem, but.. How did you know my name?" she shyly asks, realizing how hansom he is. "My boss, the Lurker told me you would be here." Comes the reply as he cracks heads. She doesn't know what to make of this guy. Tall and handsome, as well as friendly. He must be very strong sence he's lifting these men without sweating. She can't help but think that if they get out of this mess she will ask him out. Her hopes are dashed as a hundred men surround the pair. She's tired. After all the jumping and kicking and scratching with her claws, she realizes she needs a break. He doesn't even seem winded. The troops aim there weapons, ready themselves, and fire and earth smash into everybody as the SPUD vehicles that she didn't even know were there detonated all over the White House lawn. The man helps her up, out of all the unconscious bodies, to her feet. She sees the Dragon rage in anger while the SPUD helicarrier land. She waits with her new friend while the Devil Doctor attacked the ship. She just stood there in silence, watching as events transpired. The appearance of the two women, then the hero called Visionary. The swallowing of Visionary, the death of the Devil Doctor, and the cry of "Aaaghhhk!" from inside the dragon. Realizing that it's all over, she leaves. She has a lot to think about. Maybe it's time for her to make her first appearance to her brothers friends. Before she leaves to think it over, she realizes that her new friend has disappeared. The Lurker's fortress, in another dimension: "She did well my master. It won't be long before she volunteers for duty." Comes the voice of her strange benefactor. The Lurker just sits and listens, nodding in approval. "Fine, keep an eye on her Kirk." The screen blanks out while the Lurker swivels around to face another of his servants. "Ah, Dr. Imodium. My servant at StarTrekish Labs, have you finished Project: Visionary yet?" Dr. Imodium replies, "Yes my master. Visionary2 is ready to meet the Lair Legion leader. He will find this android most useful during the times to come. He does everything Visionary does, but this time it works! He also has the genus brain ingrams you gave me to use." The Lurker smiles and thanks his servant, thinking to himself, "Good. Now the legacy of Visionary5 begins!" A veiwscreen blinks on, revealing a Burger Queen employee. The pimple faced kid begins, "Master, the people are rioting here in Parodopolos! They just realized were on another planet." Calmly the Lurker replies, the heroes will calm things down soon enough Lee. Wait and see." Parodopolos, home to heroes, average Joe's, and Lizard foes. The last part does not belong. Of course right about now the hero known as JackRabbit could refute that a bit. He's just been hit by large, powerful tails full of electricity. The electro-tails pack quite a punch, throwing Jack back into some trash bags. "Whoa! Guess I'm more out of it then I thought! Better get with the program Bunny-boy!" he thinks to himself as he leaps in the air. Somersaulting over their heads he lands between two lizard-men. Lucky for the Laughing Lapine, these reptiles are pretty dumb. The first one sends out a bolt of electricity, shocking the other into unconsciousness. "Great! Now he's not gonna take you anywhere anymore!" A quick kick to the abdomen of the next lizard-man, thowing it back into a dumpster. Jack barely has time to think as the third lizard-man jumps on him, scratching and trying to bite Jack. Jack Rabbit rolls with the creature, then once on top, bounces up. He ricochets off a wall, two dumpsters and back towards his foe. His foot aimed in a proper Karate motion, he smashes the lizard-man down, hard. He ties them up with some twine, all the while realizing the sounds and smells are all wrong. He hears people screaming in panic all over the city as well as the sounds of hundreds of house pets barking, meowing, or whatever to give voice to the chaos. The sounds of a sea splashing on a side of the city where there should not be a body of water, and then he hears the sounds of what sounds like a thick tropical rainforest in the distance. Even the big volcano inland makes a churning sound that at the moment he can't recognize. He leaps up to a roof, only to be amazed at the sights. He can't help but notice the green dawn and the big pink nebulas in the sky. "This explains a lot." Jack says to himself, "we've moved! And here I thought I was going crazy." Jack then bounces down to the sight of a riot as lots of crazy people swarm a local Burger Queen to stock up on food. He notices a woman in black and white holding back the hordes of people with some kind of Spank Ray power. He lands beside her. "Need some help cutie?" he asks. "Call me cutie again and I'll turn my inborn Spank Ray on you Rabbit Man! And yes, I could use a hand. Names Phantom Ghostgirl, and your that 21st hero Rabbitman, or something." She replies. "Ouch! You wound me m'lady! I'm JACK Rabbit. What's going on here?" he asks. "I'll tell you hero! Miss Tachsmaster is right! You guys ARE menaces! Let us pass! Thanks to you super types, the city is trapped here! We need to get food!" yells an irate man. A crossbow fires an alien looking arrow right beside the man's foot. Everyone looks up to see a man in red and green with big gray wings and a helmet that looks like a pigeon, that is if the pigeon had been drawn by Joe Kurburt. " Return to your dwellings or I'll be forced to aim higher human!" Jack calls out, "Pigionman! Glad to see you! You changed the style of your helmet! It looks cool!" Pigionman stares at Jack with confusion, "I do not know you human. Have we met?" "What? But, you… I… huh?" responds the Rabbit. "Guys, nevermind that. We've got a whole city to calm down." Shouts the exasperated former future hero. "Yes, "answers Pigionman, "I am a policeman on my home world. You people must listen to me. We are looking out for your best interests!" "Listen to bird-brain here! Everybody please disperse!" yells Jack. A kiddy meal box bounces off the Lapine hero, followed by other junk as the crown gets angry. Suddenly a dark shape appears in front of the new heroes. "Stop it…now!" comes the dark reply to the mob. The mob quickly disperses at the sight of the Darkknight. The other three heroes are left in awe. To be continued. ag |
