Ditto!

I apologize in advance for the REALLY bad poem.

Chapter 2: Seven Little Anthros

'Eight Little anthros walking in the garden
one runs from the begonias, and then there were seven.'

The Loonatics (and Zadavia) are waiting for the boat that takes them to ACME Island at Acmetropolis Harbour. As usual, Duck was complaining.

'When is the boat gonna get here?' whined Duck 'I'm dieing from frostbite here!'

'The boat will be here soon Duck' soothed Lexi 'And anyway, once we get on the boat, we have a long ride to the Island.'

'But I'm freezing! And I'm hungry! And I'm-'

The other Loonatics roll their eyes as Duck complains.

'I'm glad I brought earplugs.' muttered Daphne.

'Dheio me too.' replied Slam.

After a few minutes, the boat arrives.

'Finally!' shouted Duck 'The captain is NOT getting a tip for being so late!' He then ran onto the boat.

The others rolled their eyes again and followed him. The captain came out of his cabin and talked to them.

'Hello' said the captain 'I am Captain McLate.(sorry, couldn't resist) I will be taking you to ACME Island, then picking you up after the weekend.'

'You're not staying on the Island?' asked Ace.

'No, of course not.' said Captain McLate as he walked towards the cabin and started up the boat 'Only the invited guests are allowed on the Island.'

'Do you know if the secret admirer is there yet?' asked Zadavia 'I'd hate to think we're the only ones there.'

'I'm not sure.' replied the Captain 'The owner of the Island-your secret admirer-said that she was going to the Island in her own boat.'

'Oh, perfect. She's probably never gonna show up, so we are going to be stuck there alone, with no cable.' complained Duck.

Yes, they roll their eyes.

'Well, we're about a quarter of the way to ACME Island. I suggest you get some rest. It's quite a hike to the manor house.'

The Loonatics take the Captain's advice. Duck has a weird dream.

Duck's dream
(The sentences in speech marks are voices that Duck hears) 

'Eight little anthros
Seven little anthros
Six little anthros
Five little anthros'

Duck sees Daphne, Ace, Lexi and Rev disappear.

'Four little anthros
Three little anthros
Two little anthros'

He then sees Slam, Tech and Zadavia disappear.

'One little anthro'

Duck then sees himself, with a scared expression on his face and a someone leaning over him.

'And then there were none. *evil laughter*' 

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'Duck? What is it? Duck? Duck?'

'Huh?' Duck opens his eyes and sees the other Loonatics crowded around him. 'It was just a dream?'

'What was just a dream?' asked Lexi.

'I had a weird dream.....where I kept seeing you disappear....and a voice was saying 'eight little anthros, seven little anthros, six little anthros....'

'Eight little anthros? Now where have I heard that before?' mused Daphne.

'Land ahoy!' the Captain suddenly shouted.

The 'Tics stop staring at Duck like he's crazy and look at the Island that they were approaching. It looked just like Rev had described it.

'Well, here you are.' said the Captain 'The manor house in right in the middle. Just follow the path.'

'Thanks Captain.' said Ace, taking the bags out of the boat.

'No problem. Just remember to be here at the end of the weekend. If you're not, you're stuck here for another week.'

'Okay, we'll remember that.' said Tech, taking his bag from Ace.

'Good. Now goodbye, I'll see you at the end of the weekend.' as the Captain spoke, he started up the boat and started sailing away.

The Loonatics then turned and looked at the path that snaked its way to the house.

'Sjoi long walk.' said Slam.

'No-it-isn't!-I-can-get-there-in-2.3-seconds!-Watch!' Rev then zoomed up to the house. The Loonatics could see him waving.     

'Well, that's great Rev but not all of us have super speed.' muttered Daphne as she started walking up the path. The other 'Tics followed.

One long walk later.

'What-took-you-guys-so-long?' asked Rev. Seeing the glares from his teamates, he shut up.

The Loonatics walked into the house. It was decorated in early 27th century decor.

'Wow, this place is amazing!'said Lexi 'It must be five storys high!'

The Loonatics explore through the house, until they find the dining room.

'Aww, how CUTE!' said Daphne, looking at the figurines on the table. There were two bunnies, a duck, a coyote, a road runner, a tasmanian devil, a dingo and a human the looked like Zadavia.

'Guess they must be us.' said Ace.

'No way!' said Duck 'I don't look like that!'

'Sorry to tell you this Duck, but you do.' said Tech.

'No I DON'T! I'm WAY more handsome than that!'

The Loonatics roll their eyes.

'Calm down Duck.' said Zadavia 'They're just teasing you. Let's all explore the gardens. If what Rev said was true, they must be beautiful.'

The Loonatics walk outside and see the gardens.

'Wow-this-is-beatiful-I've-never-seen-so-many-flowers-in-my-life!-It-must-cost-billions-to-keep-the-gardens-so-well-kept!' said Rev.

'Djiof flowers pretty.' said Slam.

'Yeah, they are Slam.' said Lexi. She then noticed that Daphne had kept her distance. 'What's wrong Daphne?'

'They're begonias. The whole garden is filled with begonias.' said Daphne

'So?' asked Duck 'It's not like you're allergic to them or anything.'

Daphne glared at him before replying 'Actually, I am. EXTREMELY allergic. I'm gonna go inside. I don't want to end up with purple spots all weekend.'   

'Suit yourself.' said Ace, as the other 'Tics walked through the begonias. Daphne glared one last time at the offending flowers, then turned and walked back inside.

After walking around for an hour, the 'Tics decided to go back inside.

'Shsfojf Slam hungry!' said Slam.

'Okay, we'll go find Daphne then have lunch.' said Ace 'I wonder what she's been doing to keep herself occupied?'

'Probably exploring the basement.' said Duck. The 'Tics stared at him. 'What?'

'How do you know there's a basement?' said Lexi 'You've never been here before.'

'No, but places like this ALWAYS have basements.' replied Duck as they walked into the dining room. 'And she's probably just decided to explore it.'

'Sometimes Duck, I can't understand how your mind works' said Tech.

'Was this here before?' said Zadavia, pointing at some writing on the wall.

'No, I don't think so.' said Lexi 'What does it say?'

'Eight little anthros walking in the garden,
one runs from the begonias and then there were seven.' said Zadavia.

'Funny, Daphne's allergic to begonias.' said Ace 'And she avoided them by going into the house.'

'Oh, whatever.' said Duck 'So a weird poem has a reference to begonias.' He then went to the table and looked at the figurines. 'Hey, wasn't there a dingo figurine here before?'

'Yes Duck, there was.' said Lexi coming over. 'Why do you ask?'

'Cause there's not one here now.' said Duck, pointing at the figurines.

The other 'Tics looked at the figurines. All that remained of the dingo figurine was the legs, where it had been snapped off the base.

'Wait-a-minute!-We-can't-find-Daphne,-a-weird-poem-with-a-reference-to-begonias,-her-allergies,-appeares,-the-dingo-figurine-is-snapped-off-'

'Someone besides us is on this island.' said Tech 'And that person made Daphne disappear!'

End of Chapter 2.

You are allowed to brick me cause of the bad poem.

I knew I shouldn't have done Duck's dream. Oh well, too late now!

Chapter 3: Six Little Anthros

'Seven little anthros playing in the basement,
one falls through the floor and then there were six'

'We're gonna DIE!' yelled Duck, running around in crazed circles. 'We're gonna get picked off one by one by the other person on this Island, until only I'm left!'

'Er, how do you know it's gonna be you, Duck?' asked Ace.

'Because the handsome hero is ALWAYS the one left alone!' cried Duck.

The 'Tics rolled their eyes, as Duck continued to run around and scream.

'Duck, put a sock in it!' said Zadavia 'We have bigger problems than ones your oversized ego can think up! We have to find Daphne.'

'Awww, do we have to?' said Duck.

The other 'Tics glared at him.

'Okay! Okay! We'll look for her! Sheesh, can't you take a joke?' said Duck.

'Okay team.' said Ace, taking control 'We'll split up into two groups. One group will search the house, one will search the gardens. Tech, Rev and Slam, take the gardens and Lexi, Duck, Zadavia, we'll search the house. Keep your eyes peeled for Daphne or her kidnapper. Alright?'

Each 'Tic nodded, then Tech, Rev and Slam walked out into the gardens.

'How are we gonna search this house?' asked Duck 'It's huge!'

'Simple Duck, Lexi and Zadavia are gonna search the top half, and you and me are gonna search the bottom half. Is that fine with you girls?'

'Yeah Ace.' said Lexi 'We'll meet you in the middle when we finish searching.'

The girls climbed the stairs to the bedrooms, while the boys climbed the stairs to the lowest part of the house-the basement.

'It's amazing.' said Ace.

'What's amazing?' asked Duck 'It's just a basement.'

'No, you said there was a basement, and you were right!'

'Very funny.' replied Duck.
   

They then turned on the light.

'Ew, gross!' said Duck.

The basement looked like it hadn't been used in years. There was dust and cobwebs everywhere. A particulary big spider was sitting on a web a few inches from Duck's beak. And the worst part? A big rat scurrying across the floor.

'For once I agree with you Duck.' said Ace 'This place is disgusting!'

'Do we have to search in here?' whined Duck 'It's dirty!'

'Yes, we do Duck.' said Ace 'Daphne might be down here, remember?'

'I say we let her stay here! I'm leaving!' Duck turns on his heel to walk out. He then falls flat on his face.

Ace shakes his head before replying 'You're pathetic, you know that?'

'That's funny, thats what Daphne always says.' said Duck

'Bye Duck.' said Ace, walking down the stairs into the basement.

'Wait, you're not leaving me here all alone!' cried Duck

'You're the one that wanted to leave.' replied Ace

'But...but....' whimpered Duck

'You're either leaving, or coming. What's it gonna be?' asked Ace, as he stopping at the bottom of the stairs.
 
'Okay, I'll come!' said Duck running down the stairs.

'Good.' replied Ace. Stepping onto the basement foor. 'I'm glad that's sssssseeeeeeeeettttttttttttllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'Ace?' yelled Duck, as he stopped running. When Ace stepped onto the basement floor, the rotten wood had collapsed under his weight. Duck slowly creeped towards the hole. 

'Ace?' called Duck, staring into the pitch black hole. He got no reply.

'Now what do I do?!?' thought Duck 'Ace is probably hurt at the bottom of that hole, I'm in a dark, spooky basement, and someone we don't know is picking us off one by one! Wait a minute, I'll just go and get Lexi and Zadavia!' Duck ran out of the basement to the part of the house they agreed to meet at.

Somewhere under the house...

'Ace? Ace? Can you hear me? Ace?'

Ace groaned and opened his eyes. They first thing he saw was a dingo looking at him with a concerned look on her face. Ace blinked and rubbed his eyes.

'Daphne?'

End of Chapter 3. 
 

And then there were six! This is getting exciting. Who is kidnapping the Loonatics I wonder?

LOL!

Sorry I haven't updated for a while! I had a science assignment to finish.

Chapter 4: Five Little Anthros

'Six little anthros looking through the halls,
the vampire bats appear and then there were five'

'Ding ding ding ding ding! We have a winner!' said Daphne

'Funny, Daphne. Real funny.' replied Ace as he sat up and looked around. They were in a dark room with a high (wooden) ceiling, supposedly underground. It was as bad as the basement, minus the rats. 'Where are we?

'How am I supposed to know?' asked Daphne 'But we're still on the Island, and underground. A secret passage, maybe?'

'How did you know that?' asked Ace

'I read a lot of mystery books.' replied Daphne

'Right. Moving on.' said Ace 'Did your mystery books tell you how to get out of secret passages?'

'Yeah, but since we're in a secret passage with no doors, how are we gonna get out?' asked Daphne

Ace took another look around the room. There were no doors, just solid rock walls. There was a bookcase on one, and a table against another.

'Is that food?' asked Ace, looking at the table.

'Yeah. Help yourself. This place made me lose my appetite.' replied Daphne, casting a dissaproving glance at the dirty room.

'Nah, I'm not hungry.' replied Ace 'But for some reason I'm tired.'

'Really? That's weird. After you fell in here, you were asleep for a while.' said Daphne

'Yeah, weird.' said Ace, stifling a yawn. 'If you don't mind, I'm gonna sleep for a while.' He then closed his eyes.

Daphne shook her head and walked over to the bookcase. She pulled out a book and blew the dust off it.

''101 tricks to teach your pet dog.'' read Daphne. 'Oh, funny.' She replaced the book and pulled out another. She sat down and started reading.

Meanwhile, Lexi and Zadavia were waiting for Ace and Duck to meet them.

'Where are they?' asked Lexi 'It doesn't take this long to search the house!'

'Calm down Lexi.' replied Zadavia 'Maybe Duck's whining is slowing them down'

'That's Duck for ya.' said Lexi. Her ears glowed pink 'Do you hear someone running and screaming like a maniac?'

Lexi and Zadavia glanced at each other before saying 'Duck'. Right on cue, Duck came careening round a corner and into Zadavia.

'Duck.' said Zadavia 'You better have a REALLY good reason for this.'

'Basement! Rats! Lots of rats! Ace! Hole! He fell! He fell I tell you! replied Duck

'Um...again,..but...different?' asked Lexi. Duck calmed down and repeated it.

'We were in the basement and Ace walked down the stairs and fell down a hole!' said Duck

'Ace fell down a hole?' asked Zadavia. Duck nodded.

'Yeah! And it's a big hole!' 

'Okay Duck, show us the hole.' ordered Lexi

'Yes ma'am!' said Duck, saluting and walking towards the basement. Zadavia and Lexi rolled their eyes and followed him.

'Well, that was a productive afternoon.' said Tech sarcastically as he, Rev and Slam walked into the house. 'We looked all through the gardens and there was no sign of Daphne, or her kidnapper!'

'Oh-cheer-up-Tech!' said Rev 'Maybe-the-others-had-better-luck.'

'I guess you're right.' replied Tech 'Okay, what do we do next?'

'Djenaeihf hungry!' said Slam

'Okay Slam' replied Tech 'We get something to eat, then meet the others.'

They headed off towards the kitchen. 

'So Duck, Ace stepped onto the basement floor and then he fell through it?' asked Lexi

'Yep. And for once its not my fault!' replied Duck. Lexi and Zadavia rolled their eyes and kept walking. Duck suddenly stopped and they ran into him.

'DUCK!' they both shouted 'WHY DID YOU STOP?!?'

'I hear something!' he said 'I'm surprised YOU can't, Lexi!'

The girls stopped and listened. 

'Hey, I can.' said Lexi 'It's funny I couldn't hear it before...'

'It sound like its coming from there' said Zadavia, pointing to an air vent. Just as she finished talking, the vent opened and hundreds of bats came flying out. 

'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' screamed all three. The bats swarmed towards them, and they closed their eyes and tried to swat the bats away. Then, the bats flew away. Zadavia and Duck opened their eyes and looked around.

'Where'd Lexi go?' asked Duck.

End of chapter 4.

LEXI IS GONE.....now lets see if I can see hows next. thinking.....thinking.....thinkig....Ow! head Ack! Thats it a head ack!! next is Rev!!!

Lovely chapter Daphne! Really great!!

Indeed!!

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!! Now it's Duck, Zadavia, Tech, Slam and Rev left!

I'm not trying to spoil the story, but would it be funny if after everyone's gone apart from Duck, he finally gets taken into a room when the lights come on and he finds that everyone is celebrating his birthday or something? That would be funny.

Where is Daphne?
