The Static Box

Chapter 2

The cat continues to push itself out of the TV, before finally succeeding and falling face first onto the floor; a loud THUNK! Could be heard. "Ugh- geez, you think after decades of getting anvils smashed onto your head you'd be numb to the pain by now..." the cat said as it got up and rubbed it's head; the kids still stood there, even more bewildered by the cat as it spoke. "Are- are you Kit?" Bonnie timidly asked, breaking the silence; Kit looked over at her, "well look at that, aren't you a smart cookie?" Kit answered in an almost condescending tone. "...How the actual hell did you get here?!" Leon blurted out; Kit began to scratch his chin and ponder for a moment, "well, let's see... you opened up the portal to the toon realm, I found a neat little hole just sitting on the ground... and now I'm here!". The kids continue to stare at Kit in confusion, before Gus decides to slowly approach him; he reaches his hand out to pet Kit on the head, "h-here, talking kitty..." he said, more curious than afraid. Kit grasps onto Gus' wrist before he could touch him, "touch me and you're toast, bub.", Gus squeaked before pulling his hand back.
"...geez, what's with all the ugly looks? y'all's are acting like I just killed the president!... not saying I couldn't kill the president, or wouldn't for that matter... but that's beside my point!"; Jessie looked at Kit curiously, "...what's that supposed to mean? You can kill the president?". Kit chuckled nervously, "well- I could kill the president- hypothetically of course via the power of- hey wait a minute, what year is this?" The kids all looked at each other, before looking back at Kit, "it's 97, why?" Sandy answered; Kit sighed in relief, "phew! 9/11 hasn't happened yet, nor Obama... thought I was going to be in deep shit for a second there..."
"Why would you be in trouble if it was September? What's an- Obama?" Gus asked. Kit facepalmed, "y know what-, forget what I said the past 5 minutes ago. All y'all need to know is that I can travel through time, and can kick ALL of y'all's asses in every timeline.". The awkward tension seems to die down at that moment. "You can kick all of our asses, eh? Betcha can't kick mine." Leon challenged as he smiled smugly; "oh? You're challenging me? Well, aren't you bold." Kit spoke as he bared his claws. Leon whipped out his BB gun and chuckled, "what're those things gonna do? That's like bringing knives to a gunfight!" He grinned madly. "Well you certainly don't know the power of toon force now do you?" Kit spoke in the same condescending tone he spoke to Bonnie; with a snap of his fingers, Kit disappears.
"Wh- what the- ...very funny! Why don't you come out of your hiding spot and fight me like a REAL MAN!"; just as Leon was demanding Kit to reappear, Kit taps Leon on the shoulder from behind, causing Leon to whip around and shoot right behind him. The BB embeds into Kit's head, though the cat doesn't seem to flinch, "y know, for a Texan, I was really expecting you to have a real pistol. This- now now this is just pathetic." He comments as he grabs the BB and flicks it at Leon's brace, causing it to clink. Leon's teeth clench in anger as he grabs Kit by the neck and attempts to strangle him; Kit pretends to choke, only to start yawning halfway through, "oh for Pete's sake, will ya hurry it up already? Ya can't kill a cartoon and that's that. Geez, are you more skull than brain or sumthin'?"; the other's start chuckling at Kit's remarks, causing Leon to grow embarrassed and eventually drop Kit completely, "w-whatever! Not my fault he won't die!"
"Ah c'mon, ya wanted a fight and I gave ya one. What? Not enough bite for ya?"
"Shut up! stupid cat... ruining all my fun..."
As Leon continued to mope around, a thought reoccurred to him; right! They were gonna recreate Treehouse Zombie Survivor! He had to get the others' attention somehow... he looked at the BB gun in his hand, before an idea sparked into his head; he aimed the gun inside of the garage and opened fire, shooting haphazardly wherever the gun went. Gus shrieks as a BB grazes his cheek; the others look over at him, before noticing Leon causing mass terror with his mock pistol. After getting their attention, Leon shoves the BB gun back into his pocket before taking a deep breath, "I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO!"
"...does he always yell like that?" Kit asks, "yes, yes he does." Nita answered; "ah, that explains a lot." He added. Leon "cleared" his throat, "anyways, here's what we're gonna do.", he pulls out his BB gun, twirling it around by the trigger; "we're all gonna make Treehouse Zombie Survivor real! I will be the Doomslayer, Sandy can be Duke Nukem, Nita can be the purple ball dude, and Gus can be a zombie because nobody likes him." Leon explained, "hey!" Gus cried out, "how come you get to be cool people and I have to be a zombie?!"
"Uh, because nobody likes you, like I said." Leon responded, rolling his eyes; Penny walked up to him and kicked him in the breadbasket while he wasn't paying attention. "That's a shitty plan! Half of us don't even have a thing to be!" She shouted at him as he was curled up on the ground; "you guys get to be zombies too-!" Leon muttered out as he heaved.
