This story was originally archived on Lori Central, but seeing as that site's gone down for a bit, I thought I'd repost it, sans all the stupid errors that were made when it was originally posted on The Rabbit Hole. I've also touched it up with a few minor edits here and there, but the story is basically intact.

Basically, this was my take on Lori's origins, and why we didn't see her in the original JJ2. Also, if it looks like I'm dissing Spaz, I'm not. Again, it was just my take on things. Also, it's the only fanfiction I ever actually got around to finishing, so you can infer what a lazy guy I am.

So, without further ado, I present...

The Invention: Chapter 1

Jazz checked his gun, and cocked it. He looked around the big rock he was hi ding behind. A single schwarztenguard was patrolling back and forth in front of Devan Shell’s latest invention, which looked like a rough dark gray semi sphere with a computer screen in the middle. A young rabbit had spotted the thing and told Jazz about it. Jazz, knowing Devan was up to his old tricks a gain, set out to put a premature end to what was probably Devan’s latest scheme.
And now here he was...What the heck, thought Jazz, just do it and get it over with. He leaped out from his hiding place and fired at the schwartzenguard . The schwartzenguard whirled around in surprise, just as the bullets hit and found their mark. The schwartzenguard staggered, and then fell to the ground, dead.
Jazz snickered. That had been too easy. He walked up to the machine and prepared to destroy it. Suddenly, a beam shot from it and engulfed Jazz in a red sphere. "What the heck?!" said Jazz. Then he realized it had been a trap. A bunch of
turtles and lizards leaped out of the surrounding bushes and yelled, "AH-HA!"
Jazz looked around, and recognized one turtle among the rest.
The one with oversized glasses.
Devan Shell himself.

The Invention: Chapter 2

"Very clever, Devan," said Jazz. "Obviously you wanted me to come and try to destroy your machine."
"Of course, after all, I knew you would come and try to put this to a- what should I say?- premature end." Devan said, with an evil smile. "Don’t copy the author, Devan," said Jazz. "It makes the story look bad." "Well, excuuuuussse me!" said Devan. He walked up to the machine and typed in "INITIATE SCANNING PROCESS". Then he pressed the EXECUTE button. A beam from inside the sphere overlaid Jazz with a virtual square grid. "What are you doing to me?!" said Jazz, scared out of his wits. "It’s simple, really," said Devan, pushing up his glasses on his nose- whoops, sorry- beak. "I’m scanning all your habits and traits into the computer here." Unreadable amounts of information filled the computer screen. "What are you gonna do?" said Jazz. "Make a clone of me?" "Close, but no carrot," said Devan, snickering. Finally, it was done. The force-field sphere ceased to exist, and Jazz dropped to the ground, slightly dizzy.
"Huh? Wha-? You’re letting me go?" said Jazz, confused. "Yes," said Devan. "That is my mercy on you. But hear this, this will be the last time I show you mercy. Now go."
Jazz looked at Devan, then at the machine.
"Don’t even think about it," said Devan. "This invention is made of a new me tal that none of your ammo can damage."
"Well, I can at least do THIS!" Jazz yelled, firing two RF missiles at the ordinary glass computer screen. The missiles easily pierced the glass and detonated inside the machine.
WHA-BOOOOOOMMM!
"AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" yelled Devan in anger. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MONTHS IT TOOK ME TO PERFECT THAT INVENTION?!?!"
"Oops, guess I’ll be going now. See ya!" Jazz Jackrabbit ran off, back to Carrotus Castle. The turtles and lizards began to pursue him.
"Don’t bother," said Devan, regaining control of his temper. He pulled a CD from the wreckage. "At least we have this."
"Uh, boss," said one of the lizards. "What good is that going to be?" "If everything goes like I want it to, this will be the key to Jazz Jackrabbit’s ultimate humiliation and destruction!"
Devan Shell laughed, an evil laugh that echoed throughout the forest, all the way to Jazz’s ears and to Carrotus Castle.

The Invention: Chapter 3

It is a week later. Nothing has been heard from Devan in that time, but the Jackrabbit brothers (Jazz & Spaz) kept watching out for him-or whatever his latest scheme might be. Jazz had also told the rabbit king, queen, and his wife Princess Eva about what had happened.
"You sure it’s not a clone, bro?" said Spaz, while they were out patrolling for the umpteenth time. "For the fourteenth time, Spaz, I told you he said close but no carrot." said Jazz, a little irritated.
Then a bright thought struck Spaz. It wasn’t often this happened, since Spaz was slightly retarded. "Maybe," said Spaz, "maybe he’s putting your traits and his traits together to make a whole new...uh, living...er...thing."
Jazz turned to his brother. "You know," he said, "I hadn’t thought of that. But wouldn’t he need some organic-I mean, living or used-to-be-living material to,uh, put the traits in?" He was obviously trying to put it in terms Spaz would understand.
Spaz shrugged. "Maybe that’s why we didn’t heard from Devan in a while. Guess he’s still looking—" "HEEELLLLP!" screamed a female voice about a half-mile away. "OH NO!" yelled Spaz, who immediately tore off in the direction of the scream. Jazz followed, wondering why Spaz was so panicked, and heard him yell "No t her! Not my girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend?" said Jazz, just catching up with Spaz.
"You remember the yellow bunny I met at your second wedding?" said Spaz. "Oh yeah, I think so," said Jazz thoughtfully. "Lemme guess, that was her screaming, right?"
Spaz didn’t have to answer. The two soon stopped in a field of flowers, and just above them was a heli-lizard, holding a yellow lop-eared bunny with buck teeth and freckles. She looked at them with hope and fear in her eyes. Spaz growled. "Put her down," he said.
"Yeah, Devan doesn’t need to use my brother’s girlfriend in his sick twisted experiments," added Jazz.
"Oh, this is your girlfriend?" said the lizard, looking at Spaz, who just nodded. "I’m sorry, but, orders are orders." The lizard dropped a bomb right in front of Jazz and Spaz, who got blown back- hard- into a big rock nearby . As they lost conciousness, they could the yellow bunny screaming,20 "Spaz! Jazz! Help meeeee..."
