I had posted chapters 1-4 on the jmmb, and then it dissapeared. Well, I finished chapters 5-8, and I will post the story in it's entirety (so far, 1-8) here for those who are forgetful. Please feel free to ask questions and give suggestions. Thanks.
---------------------------------------------
Chapter
1:
A
new beginning…
Three years has passed since the defeat of Devan. Jazz has
gotten his publicity, a good job as a Carrotus Defender, and A
family with his lovely wife, Eva. Their son, Razz, is only 16
months old. Jazz is in his room, resting, while Razz is resting
after a good meal. But Devan is outside of Jazz’s room
putting something together. Something Diabolical. It’s long,
Black, has many flashing lights, and a Blue-White liquid inside
of a tube. It looks like some kind of weapon. As Devan peeks into
Jazz’s room to see if the coast is clear, something odd
happens. Razz wakes up! He wakes and stares blankly into
Jazz’s room, as if something bad is about to happen. Devan
sneaks into the room, aims the gun at Jazz, Sleeping, and a Loud,
High-Pitched Squeal comes from within Jazz’s room. Then,
Silence. "I did it! I did it! I got rid of Jazz Jackrabbit!
Ha-ha!" As Devan celebrates, he then notices that Spaz,
Lori, and about Eight Guards stand in the doorway, Guns in hand.
Devan just has this icily looking Smirk on his face.
"Where’s Jazz?" Snaps Spaz as he grabs Devan by
the collar. "What did you do to him?" Spaz snaps again.
"Relax, Relax, Jazz’s fine." Devan says.
"Then why where you saying that you got rid of him?"
Spaz says.
"I did." Devan says, "I just moved him
someplace else."
"Where?" Spaz and Lori say.
"The third dimension" says Devan, with a chuckle.
"I know what you’re thinking, I’m lying. But no
matter how many Lie Detectors you hook up to me, they’ll all
say I’m telling the Truth. He is in the Third Dimension!
Although it was tough to do, I mean, it takes Neonious Ore and
Ice Ore to open a portal, and those are very unstable
elements…"
"Enough with the Tech-Talk, Just tell us how to get him
out." Lori says with a touch of attitude.
"Wow, this kitten’s got claws!" Devan says, and
then gets a Red handprint from Lori. "Now, as I was saying,
Ice ore and Neonious ore are VERY unstable. I had to get them
from the black market for Quite a price."
"How much?" Spaz asks.
"500 Ounces of Fire Ore EACH" Devan explains.
"Quite easy to get because it’s right next to my lair.
I mean, I do live in…"
"Please," Spaz says. "This is a family
game."
"Oh, yes, ahem, umm…where was I? Oh yes!" Devan
says. "It cost a pretty penny to get the required amounts
for three shots."
"And you used…" Lori asks.
"Two. I had the third just in case I missed Jazz with the
first shot." Devan answers.
"Well, we can go and get Jazz with the third shot."
Spaz says to Lori.
"Actually, no." Devan says. "The gun opens a
time rip for only Three minutes, and it’s a one way
trip."
"Is there another way to get Jazz out?" Lori asks.
"Well…Yes. Yes actually but I sent a robo-clone of
me to stop Jazz from coming back." Devan answers with a
quiet agitation.
"So? He can just defeat it. Can’t he?" Spaz
says.
"Well, that’s IF he gets that far. And the
Robo-clone is programmed to kill anybody with the last name of
Jackrabbit." Devan says, a little more agitated.
"I’ll make you a deal." Spaz says. "If
Jazz gets out alive, we’ll drop ALL charges against you. But
If he doesn’t, you go to jail for all the crimes you have
done."
"Deal," Devan says, "But you’ll need to
give me a day or two to get the Comm-Watches ready for
inter-dimension Communication.
Chapter
2:
The
Awakening
As Devan tries to deal his way out of jail time, Jazz, in the
next dimension, wakes up. "Where am I?" he asks
himself. Then he notices a note attached to his bandana:
Jazz:
Good to see you’re back to your senses.
You
Are now in the next dimension. Look around.
Looks
Different, eh? Look at your paws. It’s
different, again.
I have also provided your Gizmo gun for you to
fend for
yourself in this new territory. It’s new.
Sincerely,
Devan Shell
"Why that little turtle! I’m going to kill
him!" Jazz shouts. He looks around and finds a small
boulder. Jazz, angry as a wet hen, punches and shatters the rock,
no problem. He then takes all the little pieces and goes over to
the lake about ten feet away from him. He throws them into the
water, trying to pass the time. But as he shoots the rocks into
the water, he notices a secret passage in the lake. Jazz looks
around, making sure nobody was looking, he makes an arrow out of
the rocks he has left. Then he dives into the water to explore
the cavern. As he dives in, there seems to be a purple glow from
inside of the cave, like there is an air cavern inside.
"Curiosity killed the cat, but not the Rabbit!" Jazz
thinks to himself. As he enters the cavern, there seems to be
some kind of other rabbit. "Who are you?" Jazz asks the
stranger. The stranger, not saying a word, hands Jazz a laptop
computer, a backpack, and some kind of strange gun. The stranger
then turns around and takes a few steps toward the wall.
"Wait!" Jazz says. "What is all this stuff, and
Who are you?"
"To find out whom I am, turn on the laptop. The Backpack
will supply you with any extra ammo you need. The gun you have is
my prototype gun, The Flare. It will shoot out a bolt of fire and
destroy anything in it’s path." Says the stranger, then
turns around. He presses a button on some weird-looking TV
controller. As the button is pressed, a large, Purplish-Orange
circle, like a vortex. The stranger turns around, looks at Jazz,
and then bows in farewell. Then he falls back into the vortex,
then it closes before Jazz has a chance to jump through. As Jazz
walks away from the wall, he opens up the laptop. He turns it on,
and when it starts up, the background has but one word on it:
WULF
Chapter
3:
A
New Ally?
The next day, Devan returns to the Carrotus castle. Strange,
he is carrying a briefcase. It’s small, but large enough to
carry a bomb. The guards bring in the bomb-sniffers, a machine
that can tell what a container is carrying. The Bomb-Sniffer
reports that the briefcase contains an item that’s 50% Iron,
17% electric ore, 10% Fire ore, 12% Ice ore, and 11% Neonious
ore. Nothing harmful. He even opened the case and showed them.
"They look like watches." A guard says. Devan then says
that it is a watch. The guards let him pass, and he goes straight
to Spaz’s room. As Spaz grabs his gun, Devan says that he
comes in peace.
"I have taken your offer, and I will help you get Jazz
back. Truce?" Devan says, extending his hand for a
handshake.
"Truce. But you’re going to come with?" Spaz
says.
"Oh, good heavens no." Devan says. "That’s
why I’ve made these!" Devan then opens the briefcase,
showing Spaz three watches. "These are the Comm-Watches. I
made them for inter-Dimension communication. The three are for
all three Jackrabbits: Jazz, You, and Lori. By the way, where is
she?"
"Mall." Spaz says. Devan just rolls his eyes and
says "Women."
Eva walks into the room of Spaz’s and asks what Devan is
doing here. "Getting Jazz back, Sister-in-law." Spaz
says. Devan then says that he forgot his time-rifle, and his
server communicator. Devan then walks out and into his waiting
vehicle.
"Spaz," Eva says, "Do you think we can trust
Devan?"
"I wish I could give you an answer." Spaz answers.
"I really wish I could."
Chapter
4:
A
Blast from the Past…
At Dawn, Devan arrives at the front gates of the Carrotus
castle. He comes out, opens his trunk, and pulls out two
briefcases: One medium-sized, and the other large. The large one
is so big it has to be pulled on wheels. "Halt." The
guard says. "What’s in the briefcases?"
"In the large one is the Comm-Tech Server," Devan
says. "And in the medium one is my time rifle, but it needs
to be put together."
"Why may I ask you have your Time Rifle?" Asks the
Guard.
"To send Spaz and Lori into the Third Dimension to save
Jazz…"Says Devan. "I re-programmed it so that it
can send people inter-dimension." The guards let Devan pass,
and on his way in, he bows in respect to Eva as she passes by him
on her way to Razz’s room.
"Suck up." Eva mumbles.
"I heard that!" Devan says. As he nears Spaz’s
room, he hears Spaz and Lori talking about the trip.
"Lori, Do you think that Devan is legit on this?"
Spaz asks.
"I don’t know, but I can trust him as long as he
doesn’t make those comments." Lori answers. Devan just
snickers at that, but he can’t help it.
"I wonder what the Third Dimension is like…"
Spaz says
"I don’t really know, little brother." Lori
says. "But let’s find out Together."
"Together." Spaz says. Just then, Devan knocks on
Spaz’s door. "Come in!" Spaz says, so Devan opens
the door and comes in, briefcases and all.
"I thought I’d recognized that laugh." Lori
says, with a slight smirk on her face. Devan apologizes, and then
explains why he has come.
"I have brought the time rifle, and the Comm-Tech server.
Ready for the ride?" Devan says. Lori and Spaz both nod.
"Okay then, be sure to hold each other tight so you two
don’t get lost. I have it set for where I send Jazz. I have
also created a map of the Third Dimension, from my Robo-Clone.
Any Questions?"
Spaz raises his paw. "Are the watches Waterproof?"
Devan hits his head, and then reaches his arm into his shell. He
then pulls out a bottle, but it has a Tang-o-Spray candy label on
it. Devan says that it’s his secret waterproofing formula.
He just put it in there to keep it in his pocket. He then sprays
it on all three watches, all parts.
"All Ready?" Devan says. Spaz and Lori nod again.
Devan then points the gun at Spaz and Lori, who join hands. Devan
fires the gun, and the two are launched into the portal, as Devan
sets up his Comm-Tech Server. Lori and Spaz land in the same
place that Jazz did. Spaz and Lori then put the watches on, and
turn them on. The screen flashes "COMM-TECH v 1.9" a
few times, then goes to a slight static. After about twenty
seconds of static, a picture comes through. It’s Devan with
a slight smile. "I see it worked." Devan says.
"Now where’s Jazz?" Lori and Spaz just shrug.
"Okay, now look for clues. Devan out."
"Well, now what do we do?" Lori says, as Spaz looks
around. Then Spaz nudges Lori in the ribs and points at some
small, jagged rocks. They’re in the shape of an arrow!
"That’d be Jazz’s sign of where he’s
going."
Chapter
5:
Reunion
Jazz looks through the files on the laptop while Spaz and Lori
dive underwater. While they look through the water, Lori nudges
Spaz and points at the cavern, partially covered with reeds. They
go through and come out of the cavern. They see Jazz, sitting
against the wall. "Jazz! I’m so glad to see you!"
Spaz says.
"Yeah, great. Let’s get out of here so I can beat
that turtle’s bony Green Butt!" Jazz says to Spaz,
Clenching his fists. Jazz then stops when he sees that Spaz has a
small smug look like Jazz shouldn’t have said that.
"What? What are you looking at me like that?" Jazz
says, putting the laptop down. "What the heck are those
watches you’re wearing? Spaz, why do you have two of
them?" Just then Spaz turns the third Watch on and hands it
to Jazz. "What? What is…" Jazz says.
"Hello Jazz." Devan says on the third watch.
"Now, before you go bezerk, let me explain. I made a deal
with Spaz and Lori that if I help you get out Safe and Alive, All
charges are dropped. If you die, then I go to jail." When
Jazz hears this, he puts his Gizmo gun to his head. "Jazz,
Please! I’m telling the truth!" Devan pleads. Spaz and
Lori grab the Gizmo gun and puts to his side, near his holster of
Flare. "Jazz, Is that…Is that what I think it is?"
Devan says. "Is that…Is that Wulf’s Flare?"
"Wow! How’d you know?" Jazz says. Just then a
large hole in the side of the wall appears, just like the one
Jazz saw Wulf walk through. Out flies a medium-sized gun and
another backpack. After the backpack comes a letter. Spaz
Curiously grabs the items, and opens the letter. Devan then
appears on Spaz’s watch as Spaz reads the letter aloud:
To whoever opens this letter,
I, Wulf, have created a gun for one, Jazz Jackrabbit. Since he
must battle his way out of the Third dimension, I have provided a
new weapon. This weapon, the Electrobomb, will fire out a bomb
that will explode on contact. This gun also will shatter the bomb
and shoot the electric Shrapnel out of the gun. This I call
"Flak" mode. Since the bomb uses one charge per shot, I
have supplied with the gun fifty shots.
Signed,
Wulf
Spaz, after reading the letter, takes the gun regardless of
Wulf’s Wishes. "But he said it was mine!" Jazz
says. Then Jazz realized that he was already holding a new gun,
so Spaz should get one. "Okay, now let’s get out of
this ugly cave." Jazz says, as he walks toward the exit of
the cave.
Chapter
Six:
The
Trifecta…
After the reunion of Jazz with Spaz and Lori, they look
around. There is a small town to the left of them with windmills
on the outskirts. They walk toward the windmills, but then an old
woman waddles up to the trio with a backpack, a gun, and a
letter. She places them down to her left, and then she says
"Jazz Jackrabbit?" Jazz raises his paw.
"Here." The old woman says and walks away.
"Another gun?" Jazz says.
To who opens this letter,
I, Wulf, have created a gun for one, Jazz Jackrabbit. This
gun, called the Neon uses Neonious Ore, and uses three ounces per
two shots. I have supplied along with it approximately 3 pounds
of Neonious ore. Please give this letter along with the gun and
backpack to Jazz.
Wulf
"Lori?" Jazz says. Lori turns towards Jazz to listen
to him. "I want you to take it. I have one, and Spaz has
one." Jazz says. Lori nods and takes it.
While walking through town, two guards from the castle notice
Jazz and his siblings. They don’t worry about them, but then
they see their guns and their direction of movement. They
didn’t know but they where walking toward the castle gate.
The guard asks them what they where doing. "We’re
trying to find the way to the gate…" Jazz says, but
before he can say what he wanted to say, the Guard jumped to
conclusions and slapped handcuffs on them and stole all of their
guns, including Jazz and Spaz’s Gizmo Guns. "Great.
Just…Great." Jazz says as he is walked toward the
castle.
Chapter
7:
Jailbreak
"This is all a big Misunderstanding!" Jazz yells at
the guards as he is dragged by his arms to the jail cell. The
guards throw him in the cell, right between Spaz and Lori.
"Blast!" Jazz says as he pounds the wall. Lori sticks
her head out the bars, and looks into Jazz’s cell. She
knocks on the cell bars and gets Jazz’s attention.
"Jazz, do you have any Fire ammo?" She asks. Jazz
walks up to her and slaps her.
"Lori, They have our Gizmo Guns. Fire ammo will do no
good without our Gizmo Guns!" Jazz Rants. Lori knocks on the
bars again, and pulls her Gizmo gun out from under her skirt.
Lori then shows that she had her holster on under her skirt, and
Jazz has a small smirk. "Yeah, I always have 9 seconds in my
shoe as a backup for this kind of emergency." Jazz says.
Jazz hands the three pieces of ammo to her, and she loads it in.
She then melts the lock on her door, using up all 9 seconds of
ammo. She then pushes out the door and tiptoes over to the keys.
She silently steals the keys and gets Jazz and Spaz out of the
cells. They sneak down the quiet halls, and find a door with the
word "Barracks" on it. They unlock the door silently
and get their guns back. But when Spaz, being the Klutz he is,
Trips over boxes on his way out. The crash alarms guards and they
run to the barracks. The trio loads their guns quickly, and
prepare for battle. The guards burst in the Barracks, and they
leave because they think that nobody is in there, and the boxes
fell on their own. They walk back, and Spaz sneaks out and fires
a flashbomb. The bomb lands square in the center of the pack and
takes out ten of the guards. "Whoa! Nice shot, bro!"
Jazz says. They run the other way and see a garbage chute. They
want to get out as fast as possible, so they slide down it. As
they slide down, Spaz shoots another Flashbomb up the slide as a
precaution. Then it works. Three arms, two legs, an ear, and even
a leg come sliding down after them. They run into the forest and
away from the castle.
Chapter
8:
The
Fog
"Jazz!" Lori moans. "Where are we?"
"Well I have no clue, this fog is thicker than mom’s
stew!" Jazz replies. The then turns on his Comm-Tech watch
and calls Devan. "Devan, is there some sort of GPS in this
world?"
"I…I’m afraid not." Devan replies.
"But…One sec." Devan ducks under the table, as if
he’s getting something. He comes back up with a Cell Phone.
He dials a few numbers into the phone and puts it to his ear.
"Hey, Tubbs. Code 716 extension 53." He says.
"Area 83. Pass code is 93. Bring kit 7175. Got all that,
Tubbs?" He then closes the phone and then says to the Trio
"Can you stay in one spot for about an hour?"
"AN HOUR?" Spaz says, a little loud.
"We’re freaking out too much to stay in one spot for
more than a minute! How on earth are we supposed to stay for an
hour?"
"Occupy yourselves for that time." Devan replies.
AN HOUR LATER…
"How long has it been?" Spaz asks.
"Spaz, that’s the 188th time you’ve
asked that question!" Lori snaps.
"Um…Guys…" Jazz says. "I have good
news. It’s been an hour!"
"About time, too!" Spaz says. "My butt is
colder than a dopefish in space. My soul is dirtier than dirt. My
mind is wrecked more than a derailed train. I feel like I’m
in…"
"Spaz…please." Lori interrupts. "So,
Devan, Why the hour wait?"
"You’ll see…" Devan says, then
there’s a knock from the background. Devan looks out the
window and says, "Tubbs is here." Tubbs enters the room
with a large box.
"Here you go, Master Devan. The lab is still in tip-top
shape." Tubbs turns around and sees Eva in the doorway.
"Hello, beautiful." He says to Eva…Big mistake.
"Beautiful? Beautiful? You calling me Beautiful?
I’ll show you Beautiful!" Eva walks towards Tubbs,
seductively, then sucker punches him, square in the jaw.
"I’m taken! I am now Eva Earlong-Jackrabbit." She
hits him in the jaw again, and Tubbs dodges her third punch and
runs off toward the door. Eva chases him, and then there is a
large crash from the right. Devan just has that ‘ouch.’
Look on his face as he watches tubs get hit, and then thrown out
the window in the room. Eva then gives Tubbs a smug look and
walks off. She nods to Devan who still that look on his face.
"I…I’m in shock. I had no idea she could fight
like that! Even in high-heels!" Devan says to Jazz.
"I know. She can bench press 328 and can KO a rabbit that
bench presses up to 225. Isn’t that amazing?" Jazz
says, proudly.
"Well… I’ll send kit 7175. Just stay the night
where you are and the fog will clear up by morning." Devan
says, then loads a Time-core into the Time-rifle. He then fires
the box with the rifle and it appears between Jazz and Lori. They
set up camp and fall fast asleep, under the watchful eyes of
Wulf, who sits in a tree above the trio.
