Unbidden Family Reunion: An Ace Bunny Story

Crash

It started out as a usual mission. Zadavia called in about another villain trying to destroy the city and the Loonatics went out to stop it. But then things started to get weird…

"Great. And I have a TV show I wanted to watch!" Duck said, pouting in his chair on the ship. Everyone was sitting in their chairs on the ship.

"Get a grip Duck. At least he's away from the city." Lexi retorted as she typed a few things into a keyboard. "I've got nothing. Anybody else getting anything?"

Rev started talking very fast, "Nothing that I can see so far although it does seem a bit strange that he could just disappear off of out sensors like that I mean not everyone could do that and why do you think he lead us out here there's nothing out here but dirt dust and a few lizards There's nothing to steal or find out here unless you think dirt is something impor–"

"Rev, stop talking." Tech said annoyed. Sometimes that roadrunner could be so loud.

"Well we can't give up." Ace declared. "He's got to be somewhere. People don't just disappear." He was agitated. Everyone could tell, especially because he hit the arm of his chair.

"Nothing is showing up. Not even a lizard. This place is a lifeless dustbowl." Lexi said.

"Grahgetobefr!" Slam commented.

"You just ate!" Duck said. "Slam, you're despicable."

"Wait a minute; I'm picking something up on sensors." Tech said. He pulled up a picture on the main screen. It showed the desert. The group collectively turned to look and saw – nothing.

"What are we seeing exactly?" Lexi asked.

"Look at the very center." Tech commanded. And there in the center was a flicker of bright green. But as soon as it appeared it was gone.

"What is it Tech?" Ace asked.

"Well, I don't know." Tech admitted.

"You don't know?" Duck said incredulously. "That's a first."

"I don't think it was anything at all what else could it be besides a glitch in the system but is there any glitch in this system Tech?" Rev said.

"I guess there must be." Tech shrugged.

Ace shook his head. This team sure could be weird. He opened his mouth to say something when the ship rocked wildly. "Whoa!" he yelled as a second bump sent everyone out of their seats on top of Duck. Duck quacked out before he got squished.

Ace was the first one to the pilot seat. He tried to regain control of the ship but it was useless. "We're going down!" he called, confirming everyone's thoughts.

"We're doomed! Doomed!" Duck screamed.

Everyone else added to the yelling and screaming as the ship hurtled down to the ground and bounced a few times until it slid to a stop. The team disentangled themselves from the others and the random pieces of ship. They brushed themselves off. "Ifrat eglahwd Tech?" Slam asked.

"Over here." Called a strained and weary voice from a pile what used to be part of the ship. From underneath a large portion of roof green light flashed and Tech regenerated himself. "Ow." He rubbed his arm.

"What did we hit?" Ace asked.

"Something very large." Duck concluded.

"My baby!" Tech moaned. He sank to his knees in front of the largest piece of ship. "And I just upgraded it."

"So we're stuck here? In the middle of nowhere? This is wonderful." Lexi said sarcastically.

"Can you fix it?" Ace asked Tech.

Tech nodded. "Yeah, but we're going to need to pick up the rest of the ship first."

"Can't you just get it back with your powers?" Ace asked.

"No. It's too far apart. We're going to have to walk." Tech replied.

"Walk? Don't you have any of your gadget-thing-a-midgets-ma-bobbers??" Duck asked.

"Do I look like a hardware store to you?" Tech replied gesturing to the wreckage, "Does it look like I have anything?"

"No." Duck admitted.

"Then don't ask." Tech said angrily.

"Eh... what about the jetpacks Tech?" Ace asked.

Tech, as a reply, pressed a few buttons on his jetpack. There was a slight hum and then it exploded, leaving a pile of black dust and a few charred pieces of metal. After a few seconds the dust glowed green and Tech rematerialized in front of them.

"Twice in less than five minutes. That's gotta be a record." Duck laughed. Slam elbowed him in the ribs. "Ow! Ok, ok… jeez careful with the goods!"

"Tell me that's supposed to happen." Lexi said.

Tech growled under his breath, "Prey animals."

"Why don't I go and get the ship Tech? I bet I could get it all together in no time at all." Rev offered.

Tech shook his head. "You wouldn't be able to get all of it." The wind started to pick up.

"And we should try to find a better shelter. It looks like a bad storm." Ace said. So they started off. After every two miles or so another big piece of ship would appear in the distance, Tech would magnetize it a carry it along with them. The wind continued to howl around them.

After they had walked and flown a long way a green haze appeared in the distance. "Maybe that's what we hit." Rev commented.

Slam stared at the haze. "Makcletg!" He yelled and started to cyclone over to it.

"Slam wait up!" Lexi called after him. "It's not food!" The rest of the team followed her. Duck quacked out and appeared in front of Slam.

"And just where do you think you're going?" he asked.

Slam pointed at the haze. "Cool shade." Duck looked around at the haze. They were much closer and you could see inside of it were trees and flowers. It looked tropical… almost.

The rest of the team caught up. "An oasis?!?" Tech asked. "There's no way we hit that and crashed. He walked up to it. "But I wonder what this green haze stuff is… I've never seen it before." Tech put his hand up and touched it. His eyes widened in surprise.

"What is it Tech?" Ace asked.

"This is what we hit." Tech said.

Rev looked at the both of them. "So we hit an oasis it's better than if we were stuck in the desert with no water at least we have this green area it might be nice to relax and take a load off and who knows we might even meet some other people."

As if on cue a small girl approached them out of the trees. She was tan and had short gold hair. She looked no older than about 12 or 13. But she looked the Loonatics over as if she knew all about them. 'But a lot of people know about us.' Ace thought. She stared at Ace for a minute and then spoke in a high girlish voice. "How did you get here?" she asked.

"We were flying overhead and crashed. We hit your oasis thing and now we're stuck here." Duck said.

Lexi quickly stepped in front of Duck, before he could scare the girl away, and bent down to the girl's height. She was good with kids. "Hi there. We're the Loonatics. We were flying overhead and crashed. Could you tell us where we are?"

"You're in the desert. About 2,000,000 miles from anywhere, and about 1,999,000 miles from nowhere." She shrugged. "But why were you flying? You guys don't look like a research team." The girl put her hand to her chin.

"We were trying to locate a villain. Our scanners showed that he went out here." Tech said. This surprised everyone as Tech rarely spoke in front of strangers without being addressed directly.

"Cool. I bet you're tired. Why don't you come in and rest a while. I'm sure the Chief won't mind, I hope. And everyone else will be glad to see a new face." She turned around and gestured to them. "Follow me!" she said. "The Chief won't mind." She said almost to herself.

The rest of the Loonatics looked at Ace. He shrugged. "I guess we follow her. Is there really anything else we can do? Tech did we get all of the ship?" Tech nodded. "Alright so-"

"If you don't hurry up the barrier will close and you won't be able to get in!" The girl yelled. The Loonatics followed the girl into the forest. Each wondering how a forest could be in the desert and who this 'Chief' was.
