-Prologue-

It was a relatively quite week in Acmetropolis. Crime was low, no alien invaders, the super villains would still be in prison for at least a few days before breaking out again. It was the perfect time for Ace and Lexi to get married. Or, so they thought. But all of that changed when there was sudden knock on the door. Ace was on the training room. Slam of course was in the kitchen, eating chicken wings too loud to hear anything. Rev was visiting his family. Tech was too busy in his lab, too far away to hear it. Duck was too busy trying to Scratch Jason's eyes out for taking the remote before he could turn it to Misty Breeze, and Jason was too busy trying not to get mauled. But Lexi heard it and after a few moments, opened the door to greet a small beagle on a black suit, but was interrupted by him.

"Excuse me," Said the Beagle urgently. "Does an Ace Bunny reside here?"

Suspicious if this was another conspiracy to make them postpone the wedding, Lexi was prepared to interrogate him but Ace had just finished training and entered the room in time to hear the question. "I'll take it Lex!" Ace called as he walked toward her, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before turning to the beagle. "Nei, sup dog."

The beagle pulled a note pad and a pen from his jacket before asking, "Are you Ace Bunny?"

"Dat's what I'm told."

"Your mother's maiden name was Sarah D. Hare?"

"'Less I hoid wrong."

"Your the eldest son of Charles M. Bunny?"

"Pretty sure I wasn' adopted."

"You were born at the Merriam Hospital in 2749?" In his mind Ace began to think of why this Beagle was asking him all of these questions when a flood of realization swept over him.

"I've been drafted." Ace summarized. Weird, he never even knew there was a war.

Lexi gasped and hugged Ace tightly before pleading, " No! You can't take him, he's already fought enough for the time being! Plus, he's injured! Ace, show him all the wounds you got from the last mission-"

"No-no-no, you misunderstand. I represent the law firm of Grant & Ripley."

'Hmm. Maybe all my enemies are suin' me for assault an battery.' Ace thought.

"Mr. Bunny, I am merely trying to establish your identity."

"...Well don' keep us in suspense, why?!"

"Well, if you are Ace Bunny you may hear something of great interest to you."

"An' what exactly will I hear dat'll be of such great interest to me?"

"Well, you may be; mind you I say may, be heir of a large estate... At least twenty million." But everyone heard that. Slam dropped his chicken. Tech accidentally wired his new machine wrong and it exploded in his face. Duck quit mangling Jason and quacked over to the door. And Jason caught his breath his breath before stumbling to the door. The beagle handed Ace a small card and said, "You may expect to hear from us in a few days." And left. Ace intensely looked at the card before turning toward Duck and Jason.

"A'ight, which one of you tought of dis?"

Duck threw his hands up. "I wouldn't pull a joke this big! Somebody might drop dead!"

*COUGH* *COUGH* "Did he just say what I think he-" *COUGH* "Said?" Tech asked as he walked towards the group and looked at the card.

Ace answered, "Twenty million... It must be a joke." He summarized.

"Well, he sounded truthful." Lexi interjected.

"Yeah, but I dunno anyone who would leave me ten dollars, let alone twenty mill."

"Hey look," Duck said as he ran his thumb over the card. "It's engraved!"

"I've heard of Grant & Ripley, it's a reputable firm! If they even bothered to search for you on your first day back from Blanc it must be legitimate!"

"Yeah... Yeah, ya right. Then it must be true... I'm millionaire! Lex, Lex I'm a millionaire! Look at de card, it's engraved!" He said ecstatically. "Woohoo! twenty million dollars... Wait, what am I gonna do wit twenty million dollars...?"
