Chapter 17

The Tasmanian devil stood noblely, holding the metal bar over his head. He then threw the bar behind him so he wouldn't hit anyone in front of him, although it did damage a set of empty seats behind him. But he didn't seem to care about that. He was then surrounded by different anthros in different coloured uniforms.

"Are you okay?" the devil asked them.

"We're fine thanks to you." Lexi smiled.

"You must be our next partner!" Rev gushed out as the Tasmanian devil stared in confusion.

"What!?" A voice bellowed from no where. "I thought I got rid of you, you Twisted beast!"

Everyone turned around to see a man in a black business suit, standing in one of the emergency exit doors.

"So you're the one who made the roof collapse!" Ace shouted as the man gave an evil laugh.

"The one and only!" the man praised himself. "Anthros are nothing but pests! They don't deserve to live amongst a civilised, human society! I only took the dumb animal in so I could prove that anthros are nothing but freaks and monsters on two legs that should belong in a zoo!"

The Tasmanian devil shuddered and then collapsed onto his knees. But the man just grinned.

"Don't listen to him!" Lexi consoled the devil. "He's trying to put you down!"

"Poor deluded fool." the man shook his head. "It's obvious that the animal can't even fend for himself anymore against mere words to reflect reality."

"Well reflect this!" Ace shouted as the red laser blasted from his eyes.

The man somosaulted from the door and in front of the ring on his feet. The laser then hit the exit door from where the man stood.

"You forget." the man spoke. "I am the manager of a selection of wrestlers, which means I'm bound to be a professional at taking you down."

Duck then appeared out of no where on top of his shoulders and covered the man's eyes with his hands.

"Ha! Didn't see that didn't you?" Duck smirked.

But the man grabbed Duck's arm and threw him into one of the corner posts of the wrestling ring.

"If it's man to man combat you want, I'm game." Ace frowned as he charged at the manager and tried to knock him over with a roundhouse kick. The manager deflected it as he tried to lay punch on the rabbit.

Slam still shook on the spot as he reflected upon what was said about him. The man's words kept echoing in his head as Lexi tried to snap him out of his trance. He then looked at the two fighting each other. Slam clenched his fists as he stood up.

"Stop it." he murmured.

The manager heard this and smirked as he and Ace locked hands trying to push each other over.

""What did you just say?" he growled.

"Stop fighting now." Slam said louder.

The man then pushed Ace over and held him in a head lock.

"Well were you trained to fight as well? You're being very hypocritical about this." 

Slam raised his arm as the ground started to rumble.

"STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!" he screamed.

Suddenly, a small breeze was felt and then it turned into a huge gust, forming itself into a tornado. Pieces of the rubble started to swirl around the room. By now, the gust was so powerful that no one apart from Slam could stay on their feet. Rev, Lexi, Ace and the manager swirled around the room at a rapid speed. Duck managed to wake up from unconciousness, but then he had to immediately hold onto the corner post he rested against. He saw the others flying around the room with any lack of control. Duck pulled his arm out with his hand open.

"Everyone! Grab my hand!" he shouted as Lexi grabbed Duck's hand first. The Ace and the man and Rev grabbed onto the other side of the post later on.

"We have to stop him from tearin' the place apart!" Ace bellowed through the gust. "He'll destroy it otherwise!"

"But how do we do that!?" Lexi shouted. 

"We have to tell him to stop!" the man bellowed. "Slam! Stop this now!"

"I can't!" he screamed as hot tears ran down his face.

"Wait!" Ace spoke up. "What if Rev tries and use his speed to slow the storm down!? If he can get down to the ground, and run the oppisite direction, then he should be able to slow the gust down!"

"It's worth a try!" the man said.

Rev wasted no time to pull himself down to the ground. Once his feet touched the ground, he immediately started sprinting the oppisite direction. The others watched his run around the room. They noticed the gust was dying down. The gust turned into a breeze as the Tasmanian devil stood in the centre shaking. He then lowered his arm and opened his eyes and looked around the area of which the gust took place. The manager then approached Slam in a terrible manner.

"Do you realise what you just did!?" he screamed as Slam cowered. "You almost killed me!"

"Hey!" Ace snapped. "That's no way to treat anyone! Just because he's not a human, doesn't mean that you can take advantage of him and bully him!"

"You're just being a bully!" Lexi added.

The man growled but then he felt a pair of metal cuffs behind his back. He looked behind him find Rev giving him a cheeky wink.

"And not only that," Ace continued. "You are under arrest for attempted murder and arson."

After the police took the manager away, Slam stared down at his hands as the super heroes approached him.

"You okay Slam?" Lexi asked.

The Tasmanian devil looked at her and then stared back down at his hands again.

"What did I do?" he murmured. "I didn't have powers before."

"Well, we're not sure ourselves. All we know is that we have to find our partners who have similar powers to us." Ace explained.
 
"You're just one of them." Rev grinned.

"Me?" Slam pointed to himself in confusion.

"You can join us if you want." Lexi said. "We could do with someone who can lift hundreds of times their weigh."

Slam glanced at the ruins of the super dome. And then he looked back at the others.

"Wrestling season probably won't be on for a while. Okay."

Slam brung his arm out to shake hands with Ace. But Duck shoved himself in front of the rabbit.

"I'll shake his hand if you don't mind." Duck said as Slam squeezed his hand.

Duck screeched as he quickly pulled his hand away from the devils hand. He looked at his throbbing hand and tried to take the pain away by waving it about.

"Did I mention I get a tight grip when it comes to hand shaking?" Slam giggled.

"No. You forgot to warn me." Duck mumbled in a grumpy tone as the others laughed at his throbbing hand.

Slam has a crushing hand shake! I always thought he had a gentle touch with friends.

Nasty anthro-prejudiced wrestling manager man!

Yay! Can't wait for Tech's entrance!

So Rev and Tech already knew each other? Lot's of people have theories about that (I don't have a theory. I just think it would be cool if it happened
YAY!!! New chapter! I love how this is going!

Chapter 19

"Tech?" Rev spoke in suprise as the coyote turned his head to him.

"You gotta get out of here! This robot is malfunctioning!" he growled as he tried holding back the robots arm with the mysterious force he was using.

"But-"

"Just go! I can't hold him much longer!" the coyote repeated.

His arm flinched. Rev nodded his head as he got up and ran away before Tech could drop his arm and dodge the robot's blow. Tech gave a yelp in pain as the claw on the robot sliced his skin, causing a cut that ran down the top part of his right arm. He grabbed it as the blood trickled down his arm. Ace turned to see the coyote in pain.

"Tech! Get out of here! You'll get yourself killed!" Ace shouted as he ran up to him.

But he stopped immediately when he saw a green glow around the coyote's cut. The cut then started to disappear into his arm and before Ace knew it, it had completely healed up as though he wasn't injured in the first place. Tech looked at his right arm in amazement and then looked up to the robot. Tech raised his arms and concentrated really hard as his hands glowed green. The robot then started to flinch and gave spasms all over it's body before collapsing into a pile of broken metal. Everyone gazed in amazement. Tech's jaw dropped. Suddenly Rev ran up to him and wrapped his arms around his body.

"We did it!" he cried as the rest of the group gathered around the coyote.

"You were amazing!" Slam smiled.

"Yeah! We finally found our last partner!" Rev gushed. "Now we can combine our powers to save the city and the world! And we'll be a terrific team and-"

Tech pushed Rev away from and stepped back.

"Look. I really appreciate the fact that I helped you stop the robot from destroying this place." The coyote spoke. "But the thing is, I'm not joining anything."

The group's smiles dropped into an expression of shock.

"Why not!?" Lexi enquired. "You have powers just like us! Surely you have to agree!"

"Well I prefer to work alone." Tech answered back as he started to walk away.

Rev then grabbed the coyote's right arm and pulled it back a little bit.

"Please Tech! You saved my life! I want to repay my debt to you! Please!" Rev cried.

Tech fiercely pulled his arm out of Rev's grasp.

"Just leave me alone!" he barked and he walked out of the room, leaving the roadrunner to fall down onto his knees, with his head hung low and tears trickling down the sides of his beak.

"Why?" he cried. "Why won't he join us?"

Ace put his hand on Rev's shoulder and gave a stare of empathy at him.
___________________________________________________________

It had been a day since they met Tech and a neutral atmosphere was filled in the room. The only thing that could be heard was the conversation on the television being watched by the odourless expressions of Duck and Slam sitting on the sofa. Ace had just come out from the training room as he rubbed a blue towel all over his sweaty neck. He looked up to see Lexi staring out of the window as though she was in a trance. He approached her as she turned her head to see him.

"You okay?" Ace asked.

Lexi nodded her head.

"I can't believe it." she started. "He seemed so serious. And that seriousness has hurt Rev pretty bad."

Ace was about to open his mouth when they both turned to the sound of the door closing and Rev appearing with a big red bag in his hand. The two rabbits approached him with worried expressions on their faces.

"Rev? Why aren't you in your uniform?" Ace asked.

"And what's in the bag?" Lexi said. "Shouldn't you be doing your one 'o' clock run in the city? You always do that around this time."

"Yeah." Rev sighed heavily. "I'm gonna stay round my parents for a while."

"What!?" Duck ran to the roadrunner as Slam was catching up with him. "You mean you're quitting the team!?"

"You can't do that!" Slam added.

"Is it about Tech not joining the team?" Ace interrogated.

Rev hesitated and then opened his mouth.

"Look. I don't want you guys to be let down because of the way I'm feeling. I don't want to see you guys sad. I just wanna get away for a while. That's all. I'll see you later then." Rev pressed the button and the elevator opened as he stepped in.

"But Rev!" Lexi whined.

But the elevator doors closed and started to go down. Dumbfounded faces sread across the HQ in an unsettling atmosphere.

END OF CHAPTER 19.

Chapter 21

Rev looked up at the ceiling while he lied on his bed in his bedroom. His blank face covered the expression of sadness. It covered his shock of the coyote's harsh words, playing in his head over and over again.

"I'm not joining anything."

"I prefer to work alone."

"Leave me alone!"

The roadrunner continued to stare at the ceiling until he heard the door bell ring. He jumped from his bed and ran to the front door. He opened the door to reveal two rabbits, a duck and a Tasmania devil giving him some cheesy smiles.

"Hey Rev." Ace greeted Rev. "Are you okay?" 

Rev's eyes were wide open.

"Yeah. But what are you doing here?"

"We were just wondering whether you needed cheering up." Lexi smiled.

"Thanks guys. But I just wanna be by myself for a bit." Rev smiled weakly.

"What!?" Duck snapped. "We made the effort to come here to cheer you up and you're saying that you want to be alone for a bit? You're just being ungrateful!"

Slam looked around and spotted a red button on the wall of the house.

"Oooh. What does this button do?"
 
"No!" Rev cried. "Don't push that button!"

But Slam pressed the button and the water sprinkler splashed the water all over everyone including Rev. Everyone tried to sheild themsleves from the water with their arms. But they were already soaked to the skin with the water form the sprinkler. Rev panickly tried to turn the tap off as the water continued to soak everyone.
________________________________________________________

"We're really sorry Rev." Lexi apologised as she stepped into the room, buttoning up a light pink nighting gown.

"We didn't intend to stay this long." Ace added as he pulled down a dark green T-shirt.

"That's okay." Rev reassured them. "My parents have gone away on a weekend trip and won't be back until Monday. And my little brother has gone round a friend's house so they won't be back for ages. So you can borrow their clothes until your uniform gets dry."

"Well, at least the clothes fit fine." Duck tried pulling down a yellow T-shirt.

"We'll just wait until the uniform dries and then we'll go." Ace said.

"No. Please stay." Rev begged. "I don't wanna be by myself all weekend."

Ace looked at a pillow on Rev's bed and then he gave a devilish grin.

"Oh Duck." Ace sang.

Duck turned his head around. Suddenly a pillow smacked on his face. Duck pulled the pillow from his face and frowned.

"What did you do that for you idiot!? I'll show you how to play hard." Duck roared as he threw the pillow at Ace.

Ace ducked as the pillow hit Lexi.

"Right! You want to start something? I'm game!" she barked as she threw a pillow which hit Duck again.

Rev then zipped out of the room and then sprinted back into the room with more pillows in his arms.

"Pillow fight!!!" he screamed as he threw the pillows at the rest of the gang who were on the bed.

Pillows started to fly across the room in all different directions. Laughter and giggles filled the air as each person hit anyone they can with pillows of all different colours and sizes. Suddenly, white fluffy feathers burst out from some of the pillows, as they floated all around the room. Eventually, the feathers covered the room like snow in a winter wonderland, as Ace, Lexi and Rev panted hard.

"That was fun!" Lexi giggled.

"My arms are so sore. I can't hit anything anymore. How are Duck and Slam?" Ace gasped.

"They're so worn out, they've gone to sleep." Lexi smiled again.

Rev turned to the two rabbits.

"My mom is gonna kill me when she finds that some of her pillows are ruined!" Rev gasped.

"Oh. Well Ithought we over did it a little bit." Ace giggled as Lexi and him burst out laughing.

"You come here and break the sprinkler and ruined some of my mom's pillows. So I just wanna ask you this:" Rev looked sternly but then smiled. "Why did you really come here?"

"Because we wanted to see you smile again Rev. Slam and Duck did too." Ace smiled back.

"When you were sad, we were so worried about you. I would have never been able to imagine you so sad unless we actually see you that way. And that makes us sad too." Lexi added.

Rev gave a deep sigh and turned his head back at the two rabbits.

"I'm sorry I made you guys worry." Rev apologised.

"There's no need to apologise Rev." Ace said. "Everyone goes through that stage now and again."

"No." Rev disagreed. " I wanna make it up to you. I'll make you some hot chocolate with the cream and marshmallows on top. My treat. Won't be a mo!"

Rev walked out of the room, leaving the two rabbits to smile cheerfully.

"You know, it's good to see him happy again." Ace said. "I like it when he's this way. It sort of puts me at ease."

Lexi giggled.

"Yeah. When you're having fun with other people, the problems just like the feathers, just float away."

"Yeah." Ace yawned. "I'm feeling tired. I'm gonna get some sleep. Night Lexi."

"Night Ace." She whispered after Ace closed his eyes.

She gazed down on Ace and gave a smile. Suddenly, her ears pricked up as she looked out of the window.

"Something's out there." Lexi thought as she borrowed a pink dressing gown from the bed.
_______________________________________________________

Lexi wandered outside in the night, looking around.

"I have a very bad feeling about this." Lexi whispered.

Behind her, the bushes rustled. Before she could spin around, a pair of arms grabbed her from within the bush. They wrapped arroun Lexi's waist. Lexi screamed as the figure stepped in closer to her body.

"My my, what a pretty girl I see." the figure spoke as Lexi struggled to escape from their grasp.

"Let go of me!" she spoke through her gritted teeth.

"Hmm... maybe you could come in some form of use." the figure said again.

Suddenly, an orb smacked into their face. A yellow and white substance ran down the villain's face. They looked up to find Ace, Duck, Slam and Rev standing before him.

"Let our friend go!" Rev shouted.

"You think words are going to make abide by the laws of animals? Pathetic." the figure gave an evil grin.

"You better let her go before I make you let her free." Ace growled as he whipped out the Guardian Strike Sword.

The villain dropped Lexi to the ground.

"So you have the sword now? Shame it couldn't be in more capable hands." the villain sneered. "Looks like I'll have to deal with each of you, one by one. Starting off with your coyote friend, Tech."

"No!" Rev cried.

But before he could run after them, the figure droped a smoke bomb, causing black smoke to rise. The anthros choked on the smoke before Slam used his tornado powers to clear the air up. By the time everyone stopped choking,  the villain was no where to be seen.

"He's gone." Duck frowned.

Ace picked Lexi up.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." Lexi replied.

"We have to find the villain fast." Ace proclaimed.

"What about Tech?" Rev cried in worry. "He going to be in real danger. We have to find him before that guy does."

"It's okay Rev. We'll find our friend." Ace comforted him.

"Or should we say, our partner." Lexi smiled.

END OF CHAPTER 21. OOOOH!!! I'M SO EXCITED AND I'M THE AUTHOR OF THIS STORY! FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IN CHAPTER 22!

*ahem*
AAAAUUUGH!!!!(random outburst)
I *heart* this story.
I'm having a feeling that my 2 fav Loonatics had more in their relationship than just knowing each other. Unles..
*snaps fingers* I've got it!!! Tech isn't joining 'cause he doesn't want to be with Rev 'cause he's a roadrunner!!!
I got it wrong, didn't I?
This is so annoying. I signed up for this thing in school where I can't talk all day. *is sad* Anyhoos, loving this!!! Can't wait for Chapter 22!

They're all Techies! Mwahahahaha! But one little point: Ace didn't know about the his sword's powers until the "Secrets of the Guardian Strike Sword" ep! Still, good chappie! They're all one big happy crime-fighting family now! He! He!

Um... No. He was just a random character I made up and just thought he would be good in the story. So I guess that answers your question. And hopefully I would be able to put up the last chapter of this story so I can get it over and done with.

And they're not Techies. They're just glad that Tech's finally joined the group.

Finally! It's here! Chapter 23! I would like to take the time here upon saying thank you to everyone who's been there for me. My family, friends and everyone here on LUO, Devianart and Fan Fiction.Net. I really appreciate you guys making me feel the way I feel today. Without this site, I'd probably be searching for my identity amongst the world today. And now without further a do, chapter 23!

Chapter 23

The six heroes entered into the head quarter's doors. Tech wandered around the room, overwhelmed at the sights he never seen before.

"Wow! This is amazing!" Tech exclaimed as he fiddled, stroked and pressed buttons and switches on the electrical appliances and gadgets. "And I have so many ideas on so many inventions I can invent here!"

A bleep was then heard in the meeting round which everyone heard.

"I think Zadavia wants us." Ace said as the others including Tech, followed him into the meeting room, where a holographic Zadavia stood at the centre of the table where six chairs surrounded it.

As everyone took their seats, Zadavia looked down on all of them and smiled.

"So everyone is here then?" she asked.

"Everyone?" Tech looked around. "Um, not being rude but may I know who you exactly are miss?"

Zadavia turned to the coyote.

"My name is Zadavia." she answered. " You must be the one who was looking for the answer to the mystery of the meteor landing."

Tech's eyes opened wide.

"Y- yes. I'm Tech." he replied back.

"But now everyone here is together, I will explain to you why you are here." the woman started as she held some images up on the hologram. "You all know that the day you fell into the coma, was the day the meteor landed. That meteor came from a wormhole in space that opened from another realm. The size of it and the speed it was going could have destroyed the whole planet, wiping away the living existance."

"But it didn't." Ace spoke up. "Why didn't it destroy the earth?"

"It was quite fortunate that I was there to stop a catostrophic event like that happening. I used my powers from a location in space so the meteor would not kill off all life. But I was unable to stop the radioactive effects from spreading across earth."

"The radiation that caused us to fall into that coma?" Tech asked.

"Correct." she continued. "The comatised state you was put under was my doing too."

"What!?" Duck screeched. "Why the hell did you do that when we could have been conscious after the meteor struck!?"

"It was because the development for your powers is a slow and painful process. If I kept you conscious, you would have been in all sorts of pain and I did not want to see you suffer. So the only way for the DNA to get used to the radiation was to put you to sleep until your powers have been fully developed into your body."

"Woah! Back up!" Lexi interupted. "Powers? Those powers came from the meteor crash?" 

"Indeed. If you are interested in what powers you weild then I shall tell you." Zadavia turned to Lexi.

"Lexi. You have the power to make the destruction of something in your imagination become reality. And those sounds that you could hear but no one else could? You also have sensitive, amplified hearing, enabling you to hear the most silent of sounds from miles away."

Zadavia then turned to Slam.

"You have strength that is hundreds, even a thousand times more powerful than you had before Slam. And you also have the ability to turn yourself into a tornado as well as creating some."

She then faced Rev.

"You can run faster than the speed of sound and you have a Global Positioning System implanted into your mind. That could come in use Rev."

She then looked at Tech.

"Tech. You are able to control the element of metal. And you also have self molecular regeneration and can heal yourself from physical damage that has been inflicted on you."

Tech looked on his right arm.

"That's probably how that cut I got disappeared." he murmured.

"And what do I have then?" Duck interrupted impatiently.

"Since you're so keen Duck," Zadavia said. "You can conjure up orbs that contain substances that could bring harm to your enemies or just give them a refreshment. And you can use quantum teleportation for short distances."

"Quantum what?" Duck sounded confused. "I know! I'll call it Quantum Quacking! Much better if you ask me."

Zadavia rolled her eyes as she finally turned to Ace.

"Your eyes are able to produce an infra red laser blast that can cut through a metal wall. Your eyes can also be used so you can see more than what anyone else can see. And your martial arts that you've already learnt could prove useful to you."

Ace nodded his head. But Duck noticed the sword on Ace's belt.

"Hey, what's this?" Duck asked as he pulled the sword from Ace's belt.

"No!" Ace cried. "Give it back!"

Duck teleported far away from him so he could have a closer inspection.

"So where did you get it from then? You didn't have it before you even came to this building." Duck interrogated.

"That is a weapon that only the leader can use." Zadavia frowned at Duck.

"What!? Leader!?" Duck sqealed.

"I have been looking at each of your performances during your missions. And I have found that Ace would be more suited to that particular role." Zadavia explained.

"Me?" Ace pointed to his chest in confusion.

"I believe that during time, you will lead your team into a battle that you will win and create salvation for people, or lose and the universe could be destroyed. Only you can face that destiny Ace." She said.

Ace looked at the rest of his team mate's faces, staring back at him. Duck then gave a deep sigh and threw the sword back to Ace.

"Here. I wasn't planning on using it anyway." Duck grumbled.

"And one more thing," Zadavia spoke up. "I think it would be appropriate if you had a team name. I can keep calling upon you and not know what the group name is."

"How about the Duck Heroes?" Duck grinned.

"Well not all of us are ducks here." Lexi frowned.

"Aaw! Come on!" Duck whined. "It's a good name. Only an abosolute loon would think that Duck heroes isn't a good name!"

"Hmmm... the Loonatics." Ace stroked his chin. "I like it. The Loonatics. Just like our ancestors."

"Like the Looney Tunes? I think that's a good name." Lexi nodded her.

"I like it too!" Rev piped up cheerfully. "It has a nice ring to it!"

"All those in favour of the Loonatics, raise your hand." Tech smiled.

Everyone raised their hands, with a reluctant Duck slowly raising his hand last.

"Fine. But only because I couldn't win this round." he snorted.

"So, the Loonatics it is." Zadavia agreed. "And I will give you a brief on your first mission. There is a bank robbery going on at the Acmetropolis bank. You must catch the two men causing the crime. Good luck. Zadavia out."

And the hologram disappeared, leaving the Loonatics to stand from their seats.

"Okay. You heard the boss." Ace gave a determined smile. 

The others smiled back. 

"Lets jet!" Ace ordered.

THE END. YAY! THE END! I THOUGHT I'D NEVER FINISH THIS FAN FIC. AS I SAID, I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR BEING THERE FOR ME ONCE AGAIN! I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BEING HERE. THANK YOU!
