Suspects
Permalink   


I started writing up this idea i wanted to do for Tech, where i put him in a set-up situation and he has to solve a mystery while avoiding capture by the other Loonatics. I think what i've written so far may come across as a bit 'Batman'-ish, but i'll let you all see whether you think that 's a good thing or a bad thing. For once, i decided to post up a story here in the LUO fanfiction forum rather than on ff.net first. See what response is like. Anyway, here's the prologue opening.

Suspects - Prologue

1:00 AM at the Acme bio-chemical labs. Indoors, two security officers are patrolling the grounds of the facility in their nightly rounds with flashlights. Outside, a shadow of a sleek figure blends into the over-casting shadows of the building. The mysterious figure slips into the labs stealthily through a small air vent tunnel. Back inside the labs, the two patrolling guards cross paths on the corridor of the fifth level. 

“Very quiet tonight wouldn’t you say Bill?” one of the guards chats to the other. 

“What are ya talking ‘bout Jeff? It’s quiet every night.” Bill replies leisurely to Jeff.
 

Suddenly, the sound of a dropping object from further along the corridor interrupts the evening silence surrounding the two guards. 
 

“What was that?” Bill voices. “Came from over there.”
 

“Let’s check it out.” Jeff advises, waving Bill to follow him.
 

The two guards swiftly make their way toward the source of the sound. Their flashlights reveal a small intricately-designed metal cylinder lying on the floor.
 

“What the…?”
 

Before the guard can complete his question, the lid of the small device bursts open and instantly a grey gas is emitted into the air. The two guards start coughing violently as the gas infiltrates their lungs. They fall to their knees as they begin losing consciousness. Very quickly, the small quantity of noxious gas disperses into the air, and a shadowed figure leaps down from above somewhere. The mysterious intruder steps into the dim lighting as he walks past the collapsed guards. Jeff manages to look up for a moment at the intruder. 

“Pleasant dreams gentlemen.” the familiar well-spoken voice of the intruder utters.
 

“Te…Tech E. Coyote! Uhhh…” 

Jeff, the guard, finally passes out, with the coyote’s diminishing form as the last thing in his vision before he does so. Tech continues to stroll down the corridor in full view of security cameras, which follow his movement toward a sealed room with a warning sign on it. Tech pauses at the security-locked metal doors, apparently studying them for a moment. Then he pulls out a small electronic gadget from a pocket and holds it up to a number-pad by the side of the metal doors. The gadget expels a connecting wire, which attaches itself to the number-pad and starts running codes through it. A few seconds later, the metal doors open for him. Tech walks inside, straight toward a small square metal platform in the centre of the room. Again, Tech’s security hacking gadget opens up the platform for the waiting coyote, and a cylindrical canister painted with bio-hazard warnings emerges. Tech grabs the canister with a satisfied smile, then heads out again to make his escape from the labs.

And here's:

Chapter 1

The next day at Loonatics’ HQs, Ace, Lexi, Duck, Slam and Rev are relaxing in the living room when a call from Zadavia comes in.
 

“Loonatics, we have a very serious problem.” Zadavia announces to the five immediately gathered Loonatics. “Where’s Tech?”
 

“Busy-away-as-usual-in-his-lab,-he’ll-be-up-in-a-minute-he-said,” Rev replies.
 

As if on cue, Tech enters the living room at that moment. 

“Sorry, I was finishing up on a certain project. What’s the problem this time?”
 
The rest of the Loonatics looked to Zadavia expectantly. There was a tense pause before she spoke again. 

“You’re the problem Tech, there are police charges on you.” 

All the Loonatics fell into a stunned silence. Tech stared dumbly at Zadavia’s hologram. 

Duck laughed. “Ohohohoho! Heh, for moment there I thought you said that Tech was in trouble with the police boss-lady! Hahahahahahaa! So what was it you really said?” 

“You heard me correctly Duck. Tech, the Acme police department are demanding your immediate arrest as we speak.” Zadavia announced seriously. 

Tech managed to recover himself from his stunned disbelief. 

“On what charges?” he immediately demanded. 

“You’re wanted for intrusion onto prohibited premises, robbery and assault. Last night, ‘you’ were seen at the Acme bio-chemical labs stealing a highly dangerous chemical!” Zadavia replied in an almost accusing tone. 

“Impossible! I was here all last night!” Tech protested.
 

“It’s gotta be some kind of mistake Zadavia!” Ace spoke up. 

“They have solid evidence of your involvement in the robbery last night Tech.” Zadavia continued firmly. “Security cameras caught you in the act, and two security officers saw you in person!”
 

“What?!” Tech cried in disbelief. 

“Well…I didn’t actually see Tech around last night…” Lexi slowly admitted. 

“Nuh-uh! Me neither!” Slam grumbled too. 

“Aaannd-quite-frankly,-Tech’s-one-of-the-few-people-in-this-city-that-is-knowledgeable-enough-to-possibly-fathom-any-use-for-a-hazardous-chemical-from-the-bio-chemical-labs!” Rev added grimly. 

Ace and the others nodded in confirmation to this as well. 

“I was in my lab last night! Oh come on!” Tech cried. “This is ridiculous! You don’t really think ‘I’ would do anything like that do you?!” 

“They have you on camera Tech.” Ace replied slowly in a pained tone. “Hard to beat the evidence of your eyes.” 

“I’m telling you all, I wasn’t at the bio-chemical labs last night!!” Tech shouted in anguish. 

“Easy Tech, just settle down!” Lexi tried to calm him. 

“Tech, listen, we’ll look into this in more detail I promise! But for the time being I think it’d be best if you cooperate with the police and turn yourself in.” Ace insisted. 

“Agreed Ace. Tech, we mustn’t agitate the police any further. If indeed you are innocent, it shall be proven.” Zadavia affirmed.
 

“You have to let me help in the investigation! You’ll need my skills and observations!” Tech asserted desperately. “You might miss something important. You won’t find out the truth without me!”
 

“No Tech. The police would not allow a suspect’s involvement in the inquest. It’s best if you stay out of any potential trouble and where the police can monitor you.” Zadavia reasoned sternly.
 

“You mean in incarceration!” Tech coldly responded. 

“Tech, don’t make this any more difficult.” Lexi calmly tried to plead.
 

“Just come quietly with us Tech.” Ace firmly instructed in a low tone, taking a step forward.

Cool. I can't wait to read Chapter 2 and find out who is behind it. My guess is that someone might have made a clone of Tech.

Your wait ends here Xtream!

Chapter 2

Tech glanced around himself at all his advancing team mates. He couldn’t afford to be removed from the field now, he needed to personally look into this case! His reputation was at stake! At that moment, Tech made a fast decision in his mind.

“Forgive me.” he uttered under his breath.

Tech speedily activated his electromagnetic powers and aimed them downwards toward the metal floor.

“Whoah! What’s he doi…”

Duck was cut off abruptly as the floor started vibrating unsteadily then shook violently, causing Ace and the others to lose their balance and fall over. Tech seized his opportunity for escape. He ran past the others and out the sliding living room doors. Ace and Lexi scrambled to their feet first.

“Quickly! Cut him off! Don’t let him get to the hanger exit!” Ace ordered.

“I’m more worried about him getting to his lab!” Lexi urgently alerted.

Soundless gasps formed on all their lips at the thought of the coyote’s weaponry arsenal stored in his lab. They raced to stop Tech. Rev speeded ahead of the others first, heading to Tech’s lab. Just as he neared the lab doors, he saw Tech dash in.

“Security lock-in procedure 04! Activate!” Tech commanded to his lab’s computerized systems.

Rev accelerated to reach the lab doors before they slammed shut, but unfortunately, he was a split-second too late and smacked right into them, beak first. The road runner rubbed his painful beak.

“Unlock-the-lab-doors!” Rev ordered out loud.

“Access denied.” their HQ’s computerized voice responded defiantly.

“But-it’s-real-important!-C’mon-let-me-in!”

“Access denied.”

Rev made a mental note to attempt to alter the base’s pre-programmed security lock procedures later.

Locked inside his lab, Tech rapidly scavenged through his various inventions until he found an adequate weapon. He lifted up his gluco-gel gun and wordlessly readied it for firing. He heard the others assembling right outside the lab doors.

“Tech! Come out of there now or we’ll have to break our way in!” Ace threatened at the top of his voice from outside.

“And don’t you dare touch anything in there y’hear!” Duck added as an after-thought.

Just as Ace was about to blast the lab doors down with his laser vision, he and the others were completely taken by surprise when the lab doors, ripped loose by Tech’s enveloping electromagnetic green energy, rushed forward, slamming right into them and pushing them back against the opposite wall behind them. The metal doors then fell flat onto the floor in front of them with a loud thud. Tech leaped out with his gluco-gel gun and aimed it at his stunned team mates.

“Sorry guys.” Tech offered minimally.

He fired rounds of encapsulating gel at Lexi, Rev and Slam, trapping them in gelatinous cubes and effectively immobilising them. Duck teleported out of the way just as a round of gel was about to hit him. Ace charged toward Tech, intending to tackle him to the floor, but Duck re-materialised above Tech then, conveniently allowing the coyote to take a step back and push the falling mallard forward right into Ace. The pair fell over backward. Tech then sprinted off toward the vehicle hanger.

“Tech stop!” Ace shouted, pushing a nervously grinning Duck off him. But the imperative order fell on deaf ears.

Ace got to his feet and started cutting through the gel trapping Lexi with his laser vision. Rev was vibrating his body at superspeed, generating enough heat to melt through his gel. Duck jumped up on top of Slam and grabbed a hold of his head protruding out from the gel cube. He then teleported Slam out of it.

Tech reached the vehicle hanger with all the Loonatics’ hover-bikes. He mounted his vehicle and slid on his riding helmet.

“Priority 1! Zoomatrix general user override! Security lock-out 0 for units 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6!” Tech ordered aloud to the other 5 hover-bikes.

There was an acknowledging beep from the other 5 vehicles. Ace and the others ran in in time to see Tech take off, swiftly driving out through the open exit on his hover-bike.

“After him!” Ace barked.

But as the others tried to mount their rides, sudden jolts of electricity from the bikes forced them to back away. 

“He’s-overridden-command-of-our-bikes-and-locked-them-down!” Rev reported despairingly. “No-way-no-how-to-get-them-to-work-now!”

“Well can’t you just ‘override’ Tech’s override?” Lexi asked Rev.

“Hey,-he-mostly-designed-and-built-these-vehicles-by-himself!-He’s-obviously-programmed-them-to-prioritize-responding-to-his-overriding-commands!-That’s-Tech-for-yer!”

Ace let out an exasperated groan. Tech had been well-assisted by his technology. “We’ll have to find another means then to resume the chase! We can’t afford to have Tech running around loose in the city!”

Are you sure Tech's really so 'good' Akira? He! He! He! He's a clever one indeed!

And i'm glad my Rev line amused some of you, i was trying to put a bit of humour in there amidst the action.

I'm glad that the action in my story has you feeling 'involved' kaejae! That's a real compliment for me! It means my writing is achieving one of its desired effects on a reader! Yey! But, you think it's a bad thing that Tech's getting away? It's a good thing i say! A good thing!

Awesome story. =D
I just have a question... since when does Rev have a hoverbike?
Seems to me that he usually just flies or runs.
Not that it really matters. But I just thought I'd ask, anyways. :3
So, um, keep up the great job.
I'm looking forward to your update. ^ ^;

Here's chapter 3 comin' atcha!

Chapter 3

Tech’s heart was pounding heavily in his chest and the adrenalin rush was still heightening his senses. He drove through quieter parts of Acmetropolis to avoid attracting possible police attention.

“I got to find out what exactly’s going on!” Tech determined to himself. “But first, I have to get out of sight.”

Tech started heading further out into older, derelict areas of Acmetropolis. He eventually reached an obviously aged and littered stretch of street enclosed between worn, broken buildings, a remnant of Acmetropolis’ long-gone past. Tech halted his bike as soon as he approached a certain spot on the old street. A scanner device beneath him activated and scanned his body. A portion of the street suddenly slid open in front of him, revealing a small runway that led further down beneath the street level.

“Home sweet home version 2.0!” Tech smiled to himself. “Glad I decided to construct an alternative base of operations for myself.”

He entered onto the runway and the street top closed shut above him again to re-conceal his hideout. Automatic lighting switched themselves on as Tech drove further under street level. Finally he came to a stop when he reached a clearing, formerly an old, out-of-use underground station, where a pre-set laboratory and work station now was assembled. Tech dismounted his bike and removed his helmet, then made his way to a large computer interface.

“Now to make sure I’ve covered my tracks.” he murmured to himself as the sophisticated computer flickered into operation.

“User confirmed. Welcome back Tech E. Coyote.” the computer voice reverberated.

“Computer, initiate defence settings. Radar-block field dampers, anti-hacker firewall and tracking-inhibitor cloaking.” Tech instructed. “This place must remain hidden.”

“Defence settings activating.”

“And this underground location plus the security net should be sufficient to render my brain patterns undetectable to Rev’s GPS.” Tech assured himself.

Back at the Loonatics’ HQs, Ace turned to Rev. Rev was standing with his fingers to his temples in concentration, performing a telepathic GPS scan of the city for Tech.

“Well?” Ace queried.

“That’s-really-odd,-I-can’t-find-him-anywhere!-Not-a-trace-,-not-a-hint,-not-even-a-whiff-of-Tech!-Nothing!-It’s-like-he’s-not-even-on-the-map-anymore!” Rev informed somewhat perplexed.

“And city-wide scans picked up nothing either.” Lexi added, wondering herself.

A transmission call came in from Zadavia then.

“Unfortunately, my scanners have turned up empty as well. Tech is nowhere to be found.” Zadavia informed. “This has been most distressing behaviour from him.”

“People don’t just disappear into thin air,” Duck stated, “except for me of course ‘coz as we all know, I’m the master of ‘quacking’!”

The others rolled their eyes, unimpressed at Duck’s self-indulgent comment.

“He’s gotta be hidin’ somewheres.” Ace deduced with a hand to his chin in thought.

“A likely presumption Ace.” Zadavia agreed. “He can’t stay hidden forever. Keep searching for him until you do pick up some sign of him. Zadavia out.”

Zadavia’s transmission ended.

“I hate to say this guys, but I’m starting to actually believe that Tech ‘did’ break into Acme Bio-Chemical labs last night.” Ace confessed in a disappointed tone. “I mean, he seems to be going to an awful lot of trouble to avoid us.”

The others remained silent, looking at the floor beneath their feet. What could they possibly say to their leader’s valid point?

Back in the underground lair, Tech continued to watch his computer screen intently at a news broadcast.

“In a shocking discovery, late last night, one of the infamous Loonatics, Dr. Tech E. Coyote, was caught on camera breaking into the Acme Bio-Chemical labs. He was witnessed by two security officers on patrol in the compound at the time whom he assaulted with knock-out gas. He left the labs with a canister of, as we have learnt, a bio-hazardous chemical known as M-14.”

Tech’s eyebrows raised at this. “M-14?!”

“Police have been unable to locate the coyote inventor and are currently still searching the city for him. We have heard from the Loonatics’ leader, Ace Bunny, that he and the other Loonatics are also searching for the elusive Dr. Coyote. So has one of Acmetropolis’ greatest minds finally snapped?”

Tech turned off the news broadcast, reluctant to listen to anymore.

“Mutagen-14,” Tech remembered aloud, “the Acme Science Council’s controversial attempt at a ‘cure’ for people that were affected by the meteor’s radiation a year and a half ago! But I thought the project was terminated.”

Tech rubbed his chin in thought, then began tapping away at the computer’s keypad. He successfully hacked into the Acme Science Council’s computer records and searched for information on the M-14 chemical. A page of information came up. Tech’s eyes skimmed across the lines as he read through it.

“I thought so, the ACS terminated further research on the M-14 experimental mutagenic formula 6 months ago, a year and 3 months after I contributed my ‘DNA Stabilizer’ device to the project….”

Tech stopped as memories of a past time rose in his mind that he would have rather not remembered for the slight feeling of shame it brought with it. He sank into quiet reflection as he looked down at his green palms for the brevity of a moment. Then he pushed his personal memories aside and continued with his investigative line of thought.

“But who would know enough about it to want to steal it? And more importantly, why?”

Tech paused in silent consideration for a minute.

“I have to check out the labs for myself.” he decided. “There might be some clues my ‘impersonator’ left behind.”

With that conviction, Tech stood up from his seat by the computer and walked over to the right-side of his lair. He approached a containment tube housing an impressive battle exo-suit creation of his. He pressed a button on a remote control, and the mechanical, metallic dark blue suit responded by taking clunky robotic steps toward him.

“Guess I have a chance to finally field test my Upgrader Battle-Suit 8200.”

Tech couldn’t help beaming at the prospect of trying out his, as yet, untested invention.


Whew! Finally finished writing up this story! So there should be more frequent updates from now on! I think Tech turns a bit OC-ish in the end tho', don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'll let you readers judge.

So whoever has M-14 must want to destroy the meteor powers, but why frame Tech?

Tech didn't do it! He's innocent!  Nice going with the secret base BO. I like that technological touch.

Yes, the seondary base of operations, all part of my attempt to make Tech more cool! But i could also see Tech being the type of genius that would have put in place back-up resources like that in case of emergencies.

Yeeessss, Tech can do anything! I think i may be creating some parallels between Tech and Batman here. He's got the brains afterall! Where would the others be without his genius?! And there's so much more Tech coolness to come! Stay tuned!

And don't be too hard on Ace, he's only trying to do what he thinks is best for the safety of all.

Mallorey? She will be mentioned, that's all i'm telling ya!

Mallory does seem like a likely candidate.
