Just An Experiment

Chapter Forty Nine: Yakko takes Action! Right?

"...wha..." Yakko didn't know what to say. "The kid? Aroma's kid?"

"Aroma's kid and your kid. You've gotta quit calling it just her kid." Warner replied. "It was your kid, Yakko! Tiger is The Tiger! He went back in time and stole the power within Tiger. All he had to do was earn the boy's trust. If Tiger trusted The Tiger more than the voices inside of him, his power would want to open up to him instead. After all, it was still Tiger." He shook his head sadly. "Tiger kidnapping himself. Can you see how the rip occurred now?"

Yakko stayed quiet for some time. He didn't know what to say or how to feel. The little warner had been The Tiger?

"Alright, Yakko. Now, let's talk about this changing time thing." Warner smiled. "Every time I do something with the past, the rip gets bigger. Then, Waryes changes it back, making the rip even bigger."

"...then what can we do?" Yakko was finally listening to reason. "I can't just leave everyone!"

"They will be fine for now," Warner assured him. "What you need to do, is get Tiger back to his little warner self again. You do remember he is fifty now, right?"

"Huh? Oh yeah." Yakko nodded his head. "He's not a little warner anymore."

"You're right. You will make him a little warner again though. You have to," Warner said. "And, like I said before, you have to save The Tiger. Like it or not, he is still your son."

"I was his pet for so long." Yakko just didn't want to accept it!

"Listen, Yakko! This is important! If you only change Tiger, you are still gonna lose," Warner warned him. "It's all or nothing. Time is running out, literally," Warner said sadly. "I haven't even told Hope just how hopeless everything really is."

"What do I do though?" Yakko whined.

"First, you're gonna need help." Warner started.

"Okay. Send me to that 1943 time!" Yakko grinned. "I'll get Dot and Zenny's help!"

Warner groaned miserably. He thought he was getting it. Oh well, explain it one by one then. "No way, Yakko. You'll change things. The moment your kids came back in time, all of your new actions up until I interfered have been incorporated. You can't take Dot or Zenny or you'll erase someone."

"Erase someone?" Yakko frowned. "How is saving Dot gonna erase someone?"

"Mikey..." Warner grinned. "Is Samantha and Scratchansniff's son."

"What?!" Yakko's eyes grew wide! "Are you kidding me?! The lady who helped us out? Who stayed with Dot? How? How did she even end up there?"

"She was testing a bolt. They test everything in those facilities," Warner said casually. "They sent her to 1943 that way. She met Scratchansniff and they had a little spat. Dot couldn't help it, she had to get involved." He chuckled. "They get the two back together and Mikey is conceived."

"Huh? But...wait, okay. Now I'm confused," Yakko whined loudly. "He was already born in the future before it was changed again, right? Am I messing up?"

"No, he was conceived the first time without Dot or Zenny's interference," Warner admitted. "But the moment they stepped into the past, things changed. Even if they didn't know it, they somehow contributed to the breakup. Now, they have to fix it. If they don't, Mikey will be erased. Ergo, your children will not be with him and they would have been there for The Tiger to take." He held his hand up cautiously. "One word. One wave. Everything influences the past. You have heard this before. Every action causes an equal and opposite reaction." He chuckled. "Welcome to Time Travel! Try not to erase yourself. That's kinda catchy! That could be a slogan."
