Chapter Text
Wakko awoke to the smell of something burning, and when he opened his eyes, the floor around his bed was an ocean of flame.
"Wakko! Dot! Don't move! I'll come to you!" Yakko yelled, fire extinguisher in hand to combat the flames. He had a handkerchief over his mouth and nose to help with smoke.
The eldest Warner made his way through the room to them, holding out an arm to catch the two as they leapt from the bed.
"I'm scared!" Dot whimpered. Yakko pet her head before putting a blanket over their heads.
"It'll be okay, I'll get us out of here. You two start going for the door, I'll be right behind you. Just don't stop moving." As they walked, the entire tower started to creak loudly.
"What is that?!" Wakko cried, looking up from the blanket. Yakko pulled it back over his head quickly.
"Keep that over your head! And don't stop moving, it's nothing!" He snapped shakily, guiding them quickly, but carefully. Right as they reached the door, the tower started to tilt. The blanket slipped off as Yakko pulled them close. He knocked the door open, shoving something into Wakko's hand before picking his siblings up together.
The tower jerked back violently right as he was about to jump, knocking Yakko off his feet. As he stood back up, all three of them heard a sickening metallic crack. His eyes widened in complete horror, gripping them tighter.
"No matter what happens, I love you both very much!" Yakko gave each a kiss to the head, and without giving either a chance to react, threw them out the door just as the tower collapsed. Taking their brother with it.
The two younger Warners bounced onto the pavement with only a few bumps and bruises. When the tower landed, the whole ground shook. A bloodcurdling wail could be heard alongside the sound of sirens. Wakko glanced at Dot, only to realize it was coming from him. She pulled on her ears, entire body shaking with loud sobs.
"Wakko, where's Yakko?! He's gonna be okay, right?" She cried, grabbing onto her older brother.
He tried to move his mouth to reassure his baby sister, but couldn't stop screaming.
"Wakko! Wakko! Wakko!"
