Sapphire A. Star · Star Seeker

Ok, this is bad, really really REALLY bad.

(Goes into hibernation while waiting for the next chapter).

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

Thanks soo much for the reveiws! To tide you over until I get the next chapter up (which could be a while) I shall give you a little 'sneak peek'

------------------------------

Cassidy glanced over at Duck, her eyes shining mischieviously. "Do you like my sister?" She questioned.

Duck mocked innocence. "Of course not! I mean, yeah, I maybe.... I kinda.. like her.. but NOT LIKE THAT!!!" He stammered.

Cassidy smiled widely. "You like her, like her, don't you?!"

"No!"

"Yes you do!"

"Who does what?" Lexi asked as she walked into the med-lab, carrying more glasses of water.

"Duck has a crush on my sister!!!" Cassidy called out in a sing-song way.

"CASSIDY!" Duck yelled.

Lexi glanced at Tech. "Ace said when he came in here, she was passed out."

Tech sighed, smirking a little. "Yeah, she was. Sometimes she can be like Rev, huge energy spikes..."

Lexi giggled as she and Tech watched the mallard and coyote fight. "At least they're feeling better.."

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

I totally agree with Alex. GET THAT CHAPTER UP! *gets hit by another brick*

OK! I JUST LOST IT!

*throws a brick and they avoid it*

By the way, did 'Kim Possible: A Sitch In Time' inspire you to do this 3-part story?

OK. Now your just putting even more presser on Cassidy. Not everything has a deadline. If you let her take her time, the story will be finished.

dehsaelnucitanool · Beast

how is it putting more pressure? She's got years to finish it.

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

LOL.

I love you guys.

Seriously. XD

Don't worry, IceGirl, deh's just supporting me in his/her own special way.

See, like me, I support people by going crazy hyper on them. XD

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

Chapter 1: "Honorary Loonatic"

"What's up with 'em doc?" Ace asked as he walked into the med lab. Cassidy was awake now, and was sitting cross-legged on a med-lab bed, wearing a thick green sweater and drinking a glass of water. Duck was sitting on another bed, also drinking water. Maria was standing beside him. After gaining permission from her father, Maria joined the Loonatics on Acmetropolis, and was helping Tech look after Cassidy and Duck.

"Their conditions are improving rapidly. Duck's almost back to normal, but Cassidy's still a little bit weak." Tech replied, walking up to the leader.

"What exactly happened to 'em?"

"It was using their powers more than normal. Duck's body became dehydrated because he was focusing on his water eggs, while normally the 'eggs'
are random."

"Hmmm." Ace said, nodding to show he understood.

"I noticed something strange with Cassidy, though. Even when her powers are not activated, they are always working, keeping her warm. As a result of that, she has a higher body temperature than anyone else at all times. When she uses her powers extensively, her body gets used to even higher temperatures. When she suddenly loses those powers, or runs herself right out of energy, as in this situation, her body becaomes cold, even though she has a normal body temperature."

"Explains the sweater." Ace noted. "How's Maria doin'?"

"She has been very helpful to me. Right there, ready to help when I ask." Tech smiled a little. "Just like her sister."

"I have to say, those two are the most backwards sisters I've seen. The youngest protecting the oldest, the oldest taking after the youngest..." Ace chuckled. "Oh.. I almost forgot.." He walked towards Maria. "Hey, Maria, your father wants to talk to ya."

Cassidy raised her eyebrow at her sister. "Father won't leave you alone, either?"

Maria giggled. "Yep. I better go talk to him."

Ace faced Cassidy and Duck. "I'll check on yas again in a while, okay? Now, lay down before ya pass out..." He said, smiling at both of them.

Duck mocked insult. "Me? Danger Duck? Pass out? I might feel sorry for myself, but ducks do not pass out!" Cassidy noticed him give Maria a wink.

Maria giggled. "I'll be back in a minute!" And with that, she left.

Ace rolled his eyes at Duck and followed Maria out of the medlab.

Cassidy glanced over at Duck, her eyes shining mischieviously. "Do you like my sister?" She questioned.

Duck mocked innocence. "Of course not! I mean, yeah, I maybe.... I kinda.. like her.. but NOT LIKE THAT!!!" He stammered.

Cassidy smiled widely. "You like her, like her, don't you?!"

"No!"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"Who does what?" Lexi asked as she walked into the med-lab, carrying more glasses of water.

"Duck has a crush on my sister!!!" Cassidy sang out.

"CASSIDY!" Duck yelled.

Lexi glanced at Tech. "Ace said when he came in here, she was nearly passed out."

Tech sighed, smirking a little. "Yeah, she was. Sometimes she can be like Rev, huge energy spikes..."

Lexi giggled as she and Tech watched the mallard and coyote fight. "At least they're feeling better.."

.PINK TRIANGLE.

Once Maria was finished trying to convince her father that she and Cassidy were alright, Ace called up Zadavia, and the two discussed the recent events.

"Zadavia, I am really sorry for lettin' the villains get away."

"Do not worry, Ace. Your first priority was rescuing Maria. At least they did not manage to take the Guardian Strike Sword as well."

Ace nodded slowly. "I just wish we knew where they are know...."

Suddenly, a blinding flash of light appeared from behind Ace. The light slowly dimmed, revealing Future Ace and Future Tech.

"We don't know where they are, but we do know where they are going." Future Tech announced, walking up to Ace and Zadavia's hologram.

"You see, Zadavia, they are Tech and I from the future... and.." Ace tried to explain, but Zadavia held up her hand, signalling Ace to stop.

"I know. You're not the only ones who they have visited." She stated.

"Tech managed to track them using some sort of device to search for energy from the statue." Future Ace explained. Future Tech looked at him. Future Ace shrugged. "Thought I'd save some time in explainations."

"If my calculations are correct, and they always are, the villains are planning on using the statue to go into our individual pasts, to try and stop us from becomming the Loonatics." Future Tech said.

Ace nodded understandingly. "And we've got to stop 'em before they get too far!"

"Use the watches we gave you. They will enable you to move as fast, if not faster, than the villains." Future Tech paused. "But be careful. Any tampering with the devices or the past itself could cause the time stream to collapse."

Ace blinked. "Can I get a translation?"

"The world as we know it will cease to exist."

"Ohhhh...."

.PEACH TRIANGLE.

"If they are right, and if the villains manage to beat us again, they have the ability to change anything and everything." Tech stated. Ace had just finished filling the others in on their newest mission. "Anything could happen.... Duck could be adopted by criminals... Ace could have been seriously injured while doing stunts.... Cassidy could end up growing up on Sari as a princess..." His voice trailed off. They all knew what he meant. Both he and Cassidy exchanged fearful glances. Although Tech would do anything to give Cassidy the family she never really had. He didn't understand, however, that he already did, quite a while ago.

"This could be our last chance to get back at those villains!" Ace shouted enthusiastically.

"Right!" Everyone shouted back, including Duck and Cassidy.

"Woah up there, you two." Ace said to Duck and Cassidy. "You guys are still pretty weak. You're staying here for this round."

Cassidy and Duck opened their mouths to protest, but Ace's stern look cut them off, no words needed.

"Ace? I'll keep an eye on them if you want me to." Maria offered.

Ace smiled at her. "Thanks, Maria.. And I'd also like to give ya this.." He handed her a wrist communicator, exactly the same as the ones they used, only peach colored.

"Wow. Thanks Ace." Maria said, smiling widely.

"No problem. Consider yourself an honourary member of the Loonatics." Ace nodded. "Since you've been helping us out so much." He then turned to Tech, Lexi, Rev, and Slam, who were waiting for him. "Let's jet!

When the others left, Cassidy and Duck sat down on the couch, unsure of what to do. Maria offered to get them something to eat, and Duck asked for a sandwich. As Maria walked off to the kitchen, Cassidy noticed Duck smiling widely. Cassidy giggled mischeiviously. "You so have a crush on her!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"DO NOT!"

".................."

"Do too!"

"CASSIDY!"

(END CHAPTER)
Very short, I agree, but I'm still working on fight scenes for the next chapters.... ENJOY!

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING, CASS! I was starting to get worried. Great chapter as always.

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

-------------------------
Young Zadavia stared wide-eyed at the girl who just saved her. "Who are you?"

"I can't tell you that." Lexi answered. "What I can tell you is that you need to get off of Freleng!"

"But, why? Shouldn't I stay here and help you?"

"No! You can't do that! You have to go to Acmetropolis!" Lexi blurted.

"Why Acmetropolis?"

"Because, when you get there, you will have the opportunity to change the lives of seven different people, not to mention help save millions of others."

The young princess blinked. "Me?"

Lexi nodded. "Yes, you must leave! Hurry! Get to your ship! We'll hold these guys off."

Younger Zadavia nodded. "Alright, I'm in." She stood up and took off towards the ship. Suddenly, and glowing rope caught and wrapped around her tightly, tripping her.

The Loonatics gasped. "Zadavia!!"
----------------------------

Alex Bunny · Anthros

wooooo sounds exciting

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Sounds and looks interesting, Cass. I can't wait to read the rest.

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

I must point out that all the dates are estimated. I am guessing based on my belief that in the present (year 2774) Ace is 23, Lexi is 22, Duck is 22, Rev is 21, Tech is 24, Cassidy is 23 and Slam is 25. So, they're all about the same age. And yes, Slam is the oldest in my world! XD

I also must point out that, due to my weakness when it comes to fight scenes, most battles in this part will be short ones. BUT! Lots of secrets will be revealed! I promise!
Chapter 2: "And So It Begins.."

Date: 2770 (est)

Location: Freleng

.Zadavia's POV.

What happened to him? Why was he suddenly thinking like this?

The answers to these questions I was not sure about. Some said becoming the ruler of Freleng went to his head. Others said he was being controlled by an outside force. Others said his mind just snapped.

Whatever the cause of his strange behaviour, I had to help him.

The eyes of the head council were locked on him, watching his every move.

"...We must go and seek out these new planets and then, counquer them all!"

My eyes widened with horror. None of the roumors were true. I could tell that he meant what he said. His mind had not snapped, and he wasn't being controlled.

How could he do this to me?!

A fire of anger burning inside of me, I cut him off. "No!" I shouted. "My brother calls for a perpetual war! One that will bring shame to our planet and our people!"

My brother glared at me, his eyes burning with anger. Silence fell as the council discussed quietly amongst themselves our point of veiws on the subject. Finally, they looked up at us.

"Zadavia is right." Said the council leader. "Optimatus, will we hear no more talk of conquest."

I gazed at Optimatus in concern, but he only turned away from me.

And that's where it began.

Now I must run from him. Run from one of the people I could have depended on to help me.

He has already taken the council hostage. Now he is after me.

I tried to rescue them, tried to stop my brother, but my efforts were in vain. He would not stop until I was under his control.

So I must escape from Freleng.

I paused in my running and pressed myself against the side of the ship I was hiding behind. He was here, I knew it. I peeked around the side and could see no one. Deciding to get out while I could, I continued to run.

"Zadavia!" He called after me.

I stopped and turned to face him.

"Why are you running from me? Your own brother?" He pretended to be innocent, but I knew better.

"Because you are not the brother I knew!" I returned, firing my powers at him.

I did not mean to hit him, only to distract him while I escaped. Suddenly, a bright light blinded me. At first, I thought my brother had caught me, until I realized that he, too, had been blinded by the strange light.

.Normal POV.

A large wormhole-like portal appeared, then disappeared, leaving behind eight people, Optimatus, Andrew, Duece, Sypher, Mallory, Weathervane, and Pinkster.

Young Optimatus stared at them. "Who are you?!" He demanded.

"Don't worry, " The older Optimatus said. "We're the bad guys." His hands glowed as he prepared to fire at young Zadavia.

"Gotcha!" Came a female voice. A bunny anthro, dressed in a pink and black battle suit, grabbed Zadavia's wrist and pulled her around to the back of the ship before she got blasted.

Meanwhile, another rabbit came flying from out of nowhere, and pinned down Duece. "Move out, Loonatics!" He shouted.

Andrew glared at Tech. "Where is my sister?" He questioned, smirking.

Tech growled and kicked him in the stomach. Picking him up by the collar, he returned the glare. "If you dare to come near her again, you can be sure that I will kill you..."

"Don't be so sure, Tech..." Behind him stood Mallory, pointing a large gun at him.

With his back still facing her, Tech smirked. "Alright, Mallory, you win.." He feinged innocence. Unknown to Mallory, Tech activated his powers, then turned around quickly, ripping the gun from Mallory's grip.

Mallory was not pleased. "Aurgh! You have gotten the best of me for the last time, dog!"

.GREEN TRIANGLE.

Young Zadavia stared wide-eyed at the girl who just saved her. "Who are you?"

"I can't tell you that." Lexi answered. "What I can tell you is that you need to get off of Freleng!"

"But, why? Shouldn't I stay here and help you?"

"No! You can't do that! You have to go to Acmetropolis!" Lexi blurted.

"Why Acmetropolis?"

"Because, when you get there, you will have the opportunity to change the lives of seven different people, not to mention help save millions of others."

The young princess blinked. "Me?"

Lexi nodded. "Yes, you must leave! Hurry! Get to your ship! We'll hold these guys off."

Younger Zadavia nodded. "Alright, I'm in." She stood up and took off towards the ship. Suddenly, and glowing rope caught and wrapped around her tightly, tripping her.

The Loonatics gasped. "Zadavia!!"

Slam lept forward, tornadoes flying at Sypher, who was holding the rope. Luckily, in his rush to rescue young Zadavia, all the villains were sucked into Slam's tornado.

Tech grabbed young Zadavia's arm and magnetized himself to the ship to keep her from being trapped, as well.

"Good work, Slam!" Ace cheered as Slam dumped the villains, excluding young Optimatus, several meters away.

Tech released young Zadavia. "Hurry! You have to leave!"

Young Zadavia smiled at them. "Thank you. I will not forget your kindness." And with that, she took off into the ship.

Tech glanced at Ace in alarm. "Cheif! He won't be close enough!" He shouted, pointing at young Optimatus, who was several feet away from them.

Ace nodded to Tech, then faced young Optimatus. "Hey, Opto-dude! You're little sister's getting away!"
Young Optimatus glared at Ace, then took off towards Zadavia's ship.

Ace faced the team. "Come on, gang, let's go home."

And we all know what happened when the team left.

.BLACK TRIANGLE.

Date: 2774 (Present-Day)

Location: The villain's secret lair

"Well, that was embarrasing." Weathervane stated flatly.

"I can't believe we let them get us like that! They were down two people and Heidi's sister!" Mallory added.

Optimatus glared at them, silencing any more complaints.

Andrew just smirked. "The next one should be easy. We can hit at least two birds with one stone."

"Oh! I felt my little baby sister kick!"

(END CHAPTER)

Who is next on their list? Any guesses?!

RE: Time Race Part Two: Past (Chapter 2 is FINISHED!!! 8D)

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Nice. I don't get the last line though.

Sapphire A. Star · Star Seeker

Nice work Danielle. But i don't get the last line either.

dehsaelnucitanool · Beast

currently reading this on fanfiction.net. i'll leave a reply here once I'm done.

ok

positives: love the new chapter. and you have me confused (and interested). I have no idea who the next person (people) is. plus, at least you have battles. Loonatic story without at least one battle = not that interesting.

negatives: yeah your battles kinda suck...

-- Edited by dehsaelnucitanool at 06:18, 2008-10-24

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

Deh: LOL... your last sentence made me laugh! XD At least you're being honest, that way I can 'hopefully' get better at them.. XD

Since the next chapter is kinda 'special'..... BIG SNEAK PEEK!!!

---------------------------------------------

"Oh! I felt my little baby sister kick!" A young coyote anthro squealed in delight. Her forget-me-not blue eyes were half-hiden under her blonde bangs. The rest of her hair was pulled back in a ponytail that bobbed up and down as she jumped excitedly.

"Let me feel!" A younger, male coyote insisted. His dark, almost black, brown eyes were hard to find under the mass of dark brown fur that hung in his face.

An older, female coyote laughed and stroked the boy's head, bringing the hair up and out of his eyes. "Andrew, I do believe it is time for you to get a haircut."

"But, Momma! I like my hair like this!" The boy protested.

"To the point where you'll start running into things?" His mother returned.

The young girl giggled. Andrew shot her a look. "It's not funny, Maria!"

"Now you two, no fighting!" A much older, male coyote entered the room.

"Yes, Father." The two children replied meekly and scrambled up on to the couch with their mother. Maria snuggled up to her, placing a hand over her large belly. "When is she gonna come out?" She inquired.

The mother laughed. "Maria, you are much too impatient, love." She said. "The baby will come out when it is time."

"And if she's anything like you, Rose, she'll come out only when she wants to." The father added.

"Oh, Johnathan!" Rose giggled, blushing as he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

------------

Tech grabbed Cassidy's arm. "Cheif!" He called out to Ace. "I'm getting Cassidy out of here. She doesn't need to see this..."

Ace nodded and joined the Sarians in battle.

Tech pulled Cassidy away and pressed a button on his uniform. They disappeared then reappeared in the Loonatic's ship.

"Are you okay, Cass?" He asked. Cassidy didn't reply at first. Her eyes were wide, staring unblinkingly. Tech hugged her. "I'm sorry, Cass.... I couldn't let you see it.."

She snapped out of her trance, and returned Tech's embrace. "I don't want it to happen, Tech. I don't want her to die..."

"I know. But it had to happen. Otherwise you wouldn't be here with us..."

Cassidy sniffed, letting go of Tech a bit. "You're right. But still..."

Tech pulled her closer. "I know... no one wants to lose anyone special to them... But everything will be alright..." He lifted her head so his eyes locked with hers. "I promise."

.BLUE TRIANGLE.

Their muffled footfalls echoed through the silent halls. Their hearts pounded loudly as they kept running. That's all they could do.

Maria glanced up at her mother, her blue eyes wide with fear. "Momma? Why are they chasing us?" She asked.

Rose clutched the little bundle in her arms even tighter to her body. "I'm not sure, love, just keep running.."

-------------------------------------------------------

............. *runs from Cassidy*

Sapphire A. Star · Star Seeker

Looks 'special' alright. Hope to see it soon.

dehsaelnucitanool · Beast

cool. well I guess that answers who's next on the list...

look on the bright side, you're not alone. every single fanfiction battle I've read is pretty lame. I don't know if it has to do with the writers or the fact that a battle is cooler seen than read.

-- Edited by dehsaelnucitanool at 09:27, 2008-10-25

Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

Sorry I didn't read earlier! It's getting cool!

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

CassidyCoyote · Techie 4 life

Now, after I post this chapter, I must hide from Cassidy.... She doesn't like this part. XD

Chapter 3: "Trail By Fire"

Date: 2751

Location: Planet Sari...

"Oh! I felt my little baby sister kick!" A young coyote anthro squealed in delight. Her forget-me-not blue eyes were half-hiden under her blonde bangs. The rest of her hair was pulled back in a ponytail that bobbed up and down as she jumped excitedly.

"Let me feel!" A younger, male coyote insisted. His dark, almost black, brown eyes were hard to find under the mass of dark brown fur that hung in his face.

"Oh, Johnathan!" Rose giggled, blushing as he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

.PEACH TRIANGLE.

Date: 2774

Location: Loonatic's HQ

Tech blinked sleepily before completely opening his eyes. It felt like it had been months since he had a good night's sleep. He smiled as he gazed down at Cassidy, who was fast asleep in his arms. He nudged her gently. "Yo, Cass.. Wake up.." He whispered.

Cassidy gave a small moan and just snuggled closer to him.

Tech sighed. "Cassidy, you are the worst person to try and wake up!" He muttered. "Now, wake up or I may be forced to use extreme measures.." He chuckled, wriggling his fingers.

Cassidy's eyes shot open and she nearly jumped out of bed. "I'm up! I'm up!"

Tech laughed. "Works like a charm."

A few minutes later, both coyotes were in the main room of HQ along with Ace, Duck, and Slam. Rev was cleaing his room and Lexi was in the trainer.

Zadavia's hologram appeared. "The Future team has just contacted me. The villains are on the move again."

"Where are they now, Zadavia?" Ace asked.

Tech was busy at the pop-up computer, typing away.

"Planet Sari." Zadavia answered.

"I just found out when...." Tech was just about to finish his sentence, but he cut himself off, glancing in Cassidy's direction in worry.

"When?" Ace persisted. He bent to the coyote's eye view and read the computer screen. He, too, became silent.

Cassidy gazed at them in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

Ace cleared his throat. Tech glanced at him nervously. "Uh... It's the year 2751....It's the day of the attack.."

"Oh," Cassidy said, nodding slowly. She was unsure of how to react.

"Cass.." Tech began.

But Cassidy cut him off. "Guys.. I know you're worried about me, but you don't need to be! I can take care of myself."

Ace nodded understandingly. "Of course..."

"As all of you know, you must be extremely careful." Zadavia warned. "If anything major is changed, it could mean chaos in the present. Good Luck!" And with that, she disappeared.

.YELLOW TRIANGLE.

Date: 2751

Location: Planet Sari

Lexi peeked around the corner carefully, making sure she couldn't be seen. She turned back to Cassidy, Rev, and Slam, who were with her. "Coast is clear right now, guys. Get ready." All four of them were in disguise as Sarian gaurds, so they wouldn't be noticed.

Rev, too, took a quick peek around the corner, where King John, Queen Rose, little Maria, little Andrew, and three-week old Cassidy were. He glanced back at Cassidy, grinning. "I gotta admit, you were pretty cute back then! By the way, did Tech ever get to see that baby picture of you your father brought with him to show us?"

Cassidy blushed. ".... Yeah, he did..."

"Grabulaba like your mom." Slam added, having looked, as well.

"Yeah, you look exactly like your mom... except you have brown eyes like your dad." Lexi agreed.

"Hey, you guys in position?" Ace's voice came over the ear-peice communicators they were wearing.

"Ready, Ace!" Lexi called back.

"Good." He turned to Tech and Duck, who were right behind him. "Now all we gotta do is wait..."

Inside, Tech was worried. He wondered if it was a good idea to bring Cassidy with them. Sure, she was tough, but he thought this might be too much for her to handle.

Suddenly, the room went dark, Rose and Maria screamed in fear as the lights went back on, revealing dozens of cloaked and armored men, the Starzians.

John growled loudly at the intruders. Maria and Andrew huddled close to Rose, who was holding the three-week-old baby girl in her arms.

"Rose.." John whispered. "Take the kids and run, I'll be right behind you."

Rose looked at him in shock. "John, I.."

John cut her off. "Go! I know what I'm doing!"

Rose nodded bravely. She tugged on Andrew and Maria's shirts, snapping them out of their trance-like state of fear. "Come, we must hurry.." And with that, the three took off running.

"Move out, Loonatics!" Ace called into the communicator. He, Duck and Tech went to work at taking down the Starzians.

Lexi, Rev, and Slam also followed Ace's lead. Cassidy began to, but froze. Something was wrong... Someone was here who wasn't supposed to be....

She quickly whriled around, and found herself face-first with Andrew. Not little four-year-old Andrew, but older, evil Andrew.

Cassidy growled. Andrew smirked. "Come back for some more?"

Cassidy didn't reply. She had had enough of him. She struck out with her fist, aiming for his chest area. Andrew dodged her, then grabbed her wrist and threw her to the ground.

Cassidy was in a daze, confused. She weakly tried to sit up. But Andrew was no longer hovering over her, but instead it was Ace.

And he didn't look happy.

"You know our main concern is protecting your family, not going after your foe who happens to be your older brother." He stated firmly.

Cassidy opened her mouth, then closed it. She glanced down at the floor in shame. "I know.. I'm sorry Ace.."

Ace's face softened a bit, and he held out his hand to her. "Come on, let's go..."

Ace led the team as they followed the rest of the gaurds in pursuit of Cassidy's family's chasers. When they rounded the corner they saw the other gaurds fighting off the Starzians. They saw Rose hide Maria, Andrew and baby Cassidy and counter attack the Starzians.

Tech grabbed Cassidy's arm. "Cheif!" He called out to Ace. "I'm getting Cassidy out of here. She doesn't need to see this..."

Ace nodded and joined the Sarians in battle.

Tech pulled Cassidy away and pressed a button on his uniform. They disappeared then reappeared in the Loonatic's ship.

"Are you okay, Cass?" He asked. Cassidy didn't reply at first. Her eyes were wide, staring unblinkingly. Tech hugged her. "I'm sorry, Cass.... I couldn't let you see it.."

She snapped out of her trance, and returned Tech's embrace. "I don't want it to happen, Tech. I don't want her to die..."

"I know. But it had to happen. Otherwise you wouldn't be here with us..."

Cassidy sniffed, letting go of Tech a bit. "You're right. But still..."

Tech pulled her closer. "I know... no one wants to lose anyone special to them... But everything will be alright..." He lifted her head so his eyes locked with hers. "I promise."

.BLUE TRIANGLE.

Their muffled footfalls echoed through the silent halls. Their hearts pounded loudly as they kept running. That's all they could do.

Maria glanced up at her mother, her blue eyes wide with fear. "Momma? Why are they chasing us?" She asked.

Rose clutched the little bundle in her arms even tighter to her body. "I'm not sure, love, just keep running.."

The three turned several corners, then Rose stopped. She knelt beside Andrew and Maria, and handed Baby Cassidy to Maria. She then turned to face Andrew. "Andrew. You are a very brave boy, I know that.... I need you to protect your sisters while I help your father. I need you both to be very brave for me, alright?"

Andrew and Maria nodded silently.

Rose kissed their foreheads. "I'll be back, I promise." And with that, she ran out, eyes and hands glowing light blue.

Andrew and Maria huddled together, scared out of their minds. Just then, three-week-old Cassidy woke up, and looked up at Maria in confusion. Maria managed a weak smile, hoping to keep her little sister calm.

Unfortunately, it worked too well, and she began to giggle. Maria held her tight, whispering, "Hush...Shhh.."

But the baby's giggles were loud enough to be heard by the Starzians. Several of them surrounded the brother and sisters, waiting for the perfect moment to attack.

Suddenly, they stopped moving, they seemed to be like statues. King John appeared from behind them, rubbing his hands together. Andrew and Maria instinctively ran to him, hugging his legs tightly.

John picked them both up. "It's alright now... they're gone..."

Andrew perked up. "Where's Mother?"

John's face fell....

.RED TRIANGLE.

Ace, Duck, Lexi, Rev, and Slam reappeared on board their ship. Tech was at the computer, and had been watching them through the monitor. He turned around. "How'd it go?"

"The Starzians were defeated..." Ace began.

"All thanks to Yours Truely!" Duck added, taking out his mirror and glancing at his reflection.

Lexi, Ace, Rev, Slam, and Tech rolled their eyes at the same time.

"Where's Cassidy?" Lexi asked, looking around.

"Restroom, why?" Tech answered.

Lexi, Rev, Ace and Slam exchanged worried looks.

Tech was confused. "Did I miss something?"

"There's something we wanted to tell you..." Rev started, talking unusually slow.

"Yes?"

Lexi took a deep breath. "Cassidy's mom... wasn't exactly killed that day...."

WHOA! Talk about a big cliffhanger there! Nice job! UPDATE ASAP!

dehsaelnucitanool · Beast

ok, don't have time this morning to read, cuz of school, but I just wanted to ask. is the title supposed to say "trail by fire" cuz I at first read it as "trial by fire" which works pretty good (note: I haven't read the chapter yet), but "trail by fire" also works. so just asking.

SNEAK PEEK!!!
-----------------------------------------

A young roadrunner walked patiently beside his parents. His legs ached to run, but he stayed by his mother's side. The boy's feathers were purple and blue, and his eyes were deep green, sparkling with excitement as he saw the other kids run and play in the park.

"Careful, Harriet.." The boy's father spoke softly to his wife as she attempted to sit down at a bench.

The little boy looked at both of his parents with hopeful eyes. Harriet giggled at her son. "Yes, Rev, you may go play now..."

Rev smiled and ran off as fast as he could go. He loved it! He felt as though he were flying, which was not possible for his species.

Suddenly, he really was flying! He tripped over something, and went tumbling across the grass. Rev rubbed his head and looked around to see what he tripped over. His eyes found a young male coyote anthro. The coyote fumbled around, searching for his glasses that had fallen off.

Rev quickly picked the coyote's glasses and handed them to him.

The coyote rubbed the lenses with his shirt and then put them on. He blinked a few times. "Uh... thanks..." He gave Rev a lop-sided smile.

Rev smiled back. "You're welcome. I'm Rev. What's your name?" He asked.

"Tech. Tech E. Coyote."
