AS WE LEFT OFF IN THE CARTOON OF CHIP & DALE’S RESCUE RANGERS
Cut from the case, Kurama and Raven decided to pursue the mystery of the Blade Children…well, not that mystery. They actually went off to pursue the mystery of the disappearance of Ditz and his information in the Cartoon Cops files. Although they did not understand the chipmunks’ language, they received a typed mixed up message but it was whisked away by unusual weather.
*Professor Nimnul’s theme plays as Kurama and Raven chase after the flying note. The note swirled down an alley and disappears from site as they entered the narrow passage. They look up and down, left and right. Out of the corner of her eye, Raven spies a curious site inside a window. Kurama follows Raven towards the window; they both look in to find storm clouds churning*
INSIDE {after the churning clouds dissipate}
Nimnul: *recited as if he practices this monologue after every time he has robbed a bank with his weather machine and will continue to spout the same speech after every successful subsequent weather-style robbery* Oh, dear! How shall I ever top this incredibly devious plan? *giggles* Using weather to commit robberies it truly my most amazing feat of all. *pushes tape deck button that starts to play the sound of applause* Please, please. Hold your applause. Hold your applause.
*Raven pushes the stop button*
Nimnul: *turning around* Hey you’re not suppose to hold it when I say to! *sees Kurama and Raven* Huh?
Raven: So sorry. You shouldn’t say things you don’t mean.
Kurama: We’re looking for information if we could have a moment of your time.
Nimnul: Huh? Well… *starts throwing rugs and boxes over weather machine* OH! I don’t know anything really! Especially if it has to do with strange weather or bank robberies *standing in front of machine as if to hide it* Nope I wouldn’t have any idea!
Kurama: We were only wondering what sort of information you would have on your co-star, Ditz.
Raven: He’s an orange alien blob.
Nimnul: Aliens? So you’re not here to arrest me? *side note* Shwew, that’s a relief *out loud* In that case, I can’t help you; I’ve never seen any aliens. Although, if you are wondering about the so-called alien with a green head on top of this *strikes a(n unattractive) beauty pose* strapping figure…the records for that case are filed and closed.
Raven: -_- This cartoon just keeps getting weirder.
Kurama: So you posed as an alien before, but never actually seen any?
Nimnul: *hopping angry* What sort of insane mad genius evil scientist do you take me for? A pesky fly had stolen my body! *standing proudly* I only carry out brilliant schemes!
Raven: *sarcastic* Right.
Nimnul: I do! But those pesky rodents always ruin things! Ohhh! They get me so mad that when I see them, I don’t even acknowledge I know they know what they are doing, which I learned the time I was their size and could actually understand what they were saying.
{Sidenote: or whoever wrote this episode failed to incorporate Nimnul’s changed feelings from the episode he is referring to}
Kurama: Could you please inform us about being able to communicate with the Rescue Rangers?
Nimnul: I told you! It was when the pesky fly stole my body! Where do you think my head was? It was on the body of that pesky little fly!
Raven: *sarcastic* Oh of course. And how did he steal your body?
Nimnul: He was flying around me while I was trying to make a phone call with my brilliant device and he was transported through the phone with me where we came out with our bodies switched!
Kurama: Then there is a way we could communicate with the Rangers.
Raven: May we borrow that telephone device of yours?
Nimnul: HA! Good luck. When those rotten rodents sent me to 911 after we all got our bodies back, the police confiscated it, and it’s locked up under tight security!
LATER STROLLING THROUGH THE PARK
Raven: Well this approach doesn’t seem to work.
Kurama: I wouldn’t worry about the security; I am a master thief after all.
Raven: Stop trying to impress me! We are wasting too much time here. I think we should go to Demon World while Ditz is at large. When he was pretending to be your friend, he said there was something strange going on there; I believe that is the closest thing we have to a real clue right now.
Kurama: *saddened* Or a trap. Then again perhaps we could find the real Hiei and he could aid us. He has a Jagan eye that would be capable of locating Ditz.
IN DEMON WORLD
Kurama: *to a random demon* Pardon me, have you noticed anything strange happening around here?
Random Demon: Maybe I have, maybe I haven’t. What’s it worth to you?
Raven: *uses powers to pick him up by the throat and let him dangle in the air*
Random Demon: Okay okay, lemme down lemme down, I’ll tell you everything! *is released* whew! *breaths* eh, like I was saying, there’s been some wild campaigning going around trying to get demons to join this fanatic group. They’re all about promising power and granting special abilities, but smart ones like me are holding back because they gather in this tower but there is yet to be seen one demon coming back out.
Kurama: That would explain why there were no demons in the Human World while we searched for Hiei there. I’d wager every lower-classed demon went running at an offer like that.
Random Demon: Yeah, a lot of those weak fellas *trying to look tough and forget Raven embarrassing him so* were sure eager at a chance of power…It sure seems like a lot more went in than the tower would be able to hold.
Raven: Can you tell us where it is located?
Random Demon: *points* It’s about straight that direction for around 10,572 km They call it the Tower of Terror.
Kurama: Thank you. You have been more than kind to inform us.
*Kurama and Raven take off in said direction*
Random Demon: That was a pair of crazies if I ever saw one!
AFTER A PAINSTAKEN JOURNEY TOWARDS THE TOWER OF TERROR
Kurama: There is the tower.
Raven: The air seems to change about here…what is it?
Sesshomaru: Miasma.
Kurama: You do not appear as if you belong here, where are you from?
Sesshomaru: A series by the name of one whom I wish not speak.
Raven: Then what brings you here?
Sesshomaru: Around the Feudal Era of Japan, a rumor is rustling about demons joining a cult that will grant them power. Many demons from my series have come to join, but I am merely inspecting to see if this will pose a threat to my power over there.
Kurama: This is strange if they are bringing in characters from other cartoons.
Raven: What do you suppose “they” are doing?
Sesshomaru: It seems as though the promised power is granted by becoming one as a result of combining all the individual powers. Just how Naraku likes to make a new body for himself.
Raven: Perhaps we need to look into this “Naraku” character. Perhaps he employed Ditz to help spread rumors by impersonating influential characters…like how he tried to get you here in the form of Hiei.
Kurama: I suppose that’s plausible, but if Naraku is doing this, why is he choosing here to do so. It would be more convenient for him to stay in his own territory.
Raven: Perhaps he is trying to hide it from his enemies there, or his plans are bigger than taking over there but rather taking control of all the cartoons.
Kurama: Or perhaps this Naraku isn’t involved at all. Which means that either the master mind coincidentally works after the same manner as Naraku, or he knows of Naraku and is modeling after his tactics to throw us off the scent. Either way, aside from recruiting demons from many different shows, this anime is the only cartoon that he is affecting right now.
Sesshomaru: If this force does not come into my territory, then it is no concern of mine. *turns and leaves*
Rin: I’m right behind you Lord Sesshomaru! ^o^ Hee hee!
Jakken: Well, even with all these weak demons from all the cartoons combined, it would be no match for Lord Sesshomaru! Isn’t that right My Lord! *looks to see costars gone* Wait! MY LORD! I’m coming! Wait for me!!!
Raven: This is very strange indeed.
Koenma: *narrating while preview clips of next episode flash across the screen and happy preview music bounces in the bg* Well forget everything you’ve seen with YuYu Hakusho up until now! Even if we are in our own Demon World’s setting, demons from all over the Cartoon Realm are appearing! Kurama and Raven seem to have come far since they were no longer officially on the case. I only wish that I knew who Sally Sue got to replace them. Hm, maybe she’ll ask me, then I could be rewarded with lots of yummy pradingoms! And George won’t get any of them! *George: Aw, Koenma Sir, that’s so mean!* Ahem, well There is a chance that Hiei is in this Tower of Terror, along with a few other surprises to spice things up! And I’m pretty sure this time it will be the Real Hiei, unless Ditz is having a party impersonating all these different characters just to play with Kurama’s and Raven’s minds. I wonder if he can multiply himself and do multiple impersonations at once. OGRE! Put that down and I can turn in the information to Sally Sue for a pradingom or two! Well you know the happening place to be now, so be sure to tune in next time and find out on YuYuuuu…um…Cartoon Cops Dateiiiiii …or are we calling this Kurama and Raven? I GIVE UP!
