To explain, there are separate stories for each chapter. Each chapter features a totally and completely different plot, having nothing to do with the previous one. In shorts, sometimes it will only centre on two to three characters, while the other ones are on break. I hope if anyone reads this, they will not get confused as they read on, so I hope you enjoy it. The first chapter features Duck and Slam at the grocery store, buying food for headquarters. It's a simple idea, but I will make an effort to add some humour and entertainment to it.

It was a sunny afternoon in the city planet of Acmetropolis. Streets were empty, sun was shining and citizens at home could relax, without worrying about the crime of the day. But, where were the Loonatics? Did something happen to them on their last battle, that none of them were nowhere in sight and not even on the streets? Of course not. You know the Loonatics; of course they were responsible and the most resourceful heroes in Acmetropolis. But, enough about that; let us see, where they really are. Two members of the Loonatics known as Slam Tasmanian and Danger Duck have decided to run a couple of errands. They stopped by the grocery store, to pick up some food, because Slam ate it all and they had no dinner. So, poor Duck had to be dragged by Slam, to get the grub, so there won't be any complaints about no food on the table. Though, things haven't been going so well for Duck; he started to grow impatient, the minute they both reached the salad section.

"Ow, Slam? You're stepping on my foot! There is only so much a duck could take," Duck complained.

Only a giant devil, with a hungry stomach and a guilty conscious looked away in utter shame. "Sorry," was all this big guy could say.

Duck didn't seem to care of how sorry his bulked up friend was. All he cared about was to pick up the essentials and get home quickly, to end the madness. Danger Duck is known as the spotlight hungry and the 'I'm better than Ace wannabe of the Loonatics.' He can't stand it when Ace Bunny gets all the recognition and action time, while he is standing there, feeling like a dope and isolated in some way.

Then, there is Slam Tasmanian. Not quite the action hungry kind of guy; but yet, the food hungry type of devil, who seems to be eating everything in the house.

Though, while Slam is just there, feeling clueless and confused, it just pains Duck for him to be the most mocked out of everyone. If Duck doesn't get the spotlight and the recognition; he gets the work and brand new regrets. But, Duck had no time to feel sorry for himself now; he had to go with the slugger, whether he enjoyed his company, or not. He suddenly bumps into a large cardboard box: Duck looks up, only to see several packages of raw chicken lying on top of each other, so a disgusted Duck picks up the chicken by the edge and pretends to examine the whole piece from afar.

"Hmm… a piece of blubber, with red stuff on it; how yummy. If this thing used to be a dog's chewing toy, I wonder what he does to the cats outside," Duck replies sarcastically, as he slowly places the chicken down.

Slam spots the chicken that was lying there; he licks his lips and is about to go for the entire box of raw chicken. "Mmm, chicken," he says happily: Slam dives into the entire box and takes a piece; he takes it out and eats the entire piece of meat and all that is left, is a bone.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't eat that!" Duck panics as he is watching Slam diving into the box again. The wide-eyed mallard quickly throws himself into the box and tries to help Slam. Unfortunately, the box begins to lose its balance and falls over, with packages of raw chicken on top of them. An employer walks by and is surprised to see Slam on top of Duck liking the chicken off of him, which made the employer think something else.

"Um, excuse me, but if you would like, there are some hotels around here, but we do not allow that kind of behavior in our store," the employer smiled weakly, but had a slightly frightened tone in his voice.

Slam and Duck, both got up and Slam was face to face, with a piece of raw chicken. With this, Slam hid himself and Duck pulled the chicken off of his head. When he did, Duck found that his head has turned into an oval. "How about some raw duck. Without raw duck; you're out of luck. Cluck, cluck for some raw duck," he replied dazed as he tried to regain his balance.

"Sorry, they don't usually cause so much trouble in a grocery store," a voice called out and grew closer. Slam looked in the direction on where the voice was coming from, as Duck tried to get up and follow it as well. He put his head back to normal size and glared at a yellow rabbit, with fleece pants and a pink midriff top.

"Oh, yeah… trouble," Duck commented sarcastically "What? Do you think I can't handle my own grocery shopping around here?"

"Very funny Duck," the rabbit named Mindy laughed. "I know you, of course. Doesn't everybody?"

"Look here, the last thing I need is your brother mocking me, while I need to tend to me duty. This superhero has better things to do, then to be a mommy of the house," Duck replied in a babyish voice.

"Don't worry, Duck. Ace is not here; I'm shopping alone this time," the yellow rabbit reassured him.

Duck gave a sigh of relief and continued in a rude manner. "So, what are you doing here?"

"I just ran out of food in the apartment and I came to buy some, how about you?" She asked him.

"I came here, because Slam has eaten everything and turned the kitchen into a pigsty-" Duck's speech was cut by Slam's angry grumble.

"Ygsdhu, hey!!"

But, after an impatient bird just looked at him, he continued the conversation, like nothing happened. "So I was forced to come here."

Mindy nodded her head like she understood. "Well, that's interesting; listen, I should probably get out of your way, I have a lot of things to buy and I need to get home soon." She waved goodbye and Duck waved back.

Slam went up to Mindy and gave her a hug, "yghhhsgu, I like you, too."

"Whoa there, Slam buddy. You're not hiding anything from the piece of raw chicken are you? Now let's go; my feet are killing me and I want to get home soon, so I can show Ace what for." Duck crossed his arms.

Mindy finally walked away and the two of them continued their journey.

Outside the market

There was a mysterious, masked stranger with a blue ninja outfit; who was on a high tech cell phone and he was standing on the rooftop.

"Well, so you see anything?" A guy from the phone spoke.

"Yeah, I see an orange duck with a big muscular guy, but the picture is all fuzzy on my binoculars," the masked stranger answered back.

"Are you kidding me with this? He snapped. "Keep looking you imbecile; there's gotta be a front door or something."

"A front door? Where am I supposed to find a front door?" The figure on the top took the binoculars away from his eyes and looked around in disbelief.

"Duh. Through the front; are you stupid or something?" Camera shows another masked stranger with another hi-tech phone, a green ninja suit and an angry look.

"Your lucky I'm five meters away from you pal, if not; I'd seriously come down there and kick your butt," shows first masked stranger with the blue suit.

"Who are you, Juniper Lee?" Shows stranger with the green suit

"Juniper who? The guy on the rooftop shrugs his shoulders

"Ugh, just keep moving!" The "boss" tells him.

The blue masked figure, known as Zero; soon turns off his phone and continues walking and looking around the view. He soon has a brilliant idea and snaps his fingers. "I know, I'll go in undetected; but I need some sort of disguise," Zero scratches his chin and finds a door by the corner of his eye. He turns around all at once, walking towards the door and opens it. He is disappointed to find only a small staircase, but no disguise. Zero walks down the stairs anyway and finds another door, instead. He opens it and finds an old baby blue janitor suit lying there. This pleases the clueless crook much to his liking, but he still doesn't have the slightest idea of how he will sneak in. But, in the meantime; he slips on the costume and continues walking, only to find a third door. Soon, there is a ring and Zero knowing that it is his phone; takes it out of his pocket and answers it. His face scrunches up in fear when you know who is on the other line.

"You idiot! Where the heck are you? I told you to just sneak in and snatch the product and get out of there; but I guess someone with your intelligence can't do something simple like that now can he?"

The boss hangs up and a very upset Zero gloomily places the phone back in his pocket. He finally has his plan ready and is willing to put it into action. The proud, but yet clueless thief goes back up the stairs and onto the rooftop. He places his backpack on the floor and takes out a few spy looking materials. He pulls out a rope, a black jumpsuit and an invisible shield. He slips on the stealth suit, ties one end of the rope onto a hook nearby and the other hand onto his waist. He saw a trap door and opened both sides slowly. Zero, then carefully moved near the open hole and slipped inside gently. While holding onto the rope; he jumped steps off of a long wall and landed from low height. Zero soon found that he was in the grocery store; so he hid his face in a clear bag of cotton balls, hoping that no one will see him.

Meanwhile

Duck and Slam were now in line to order some meat and Duck was tapping his foot, while Slam was licking his lips to all the different kinds of meat served there.

"What in the name of quack is going on here? Doesn't anybody know who I am? I am Danger Duck, that's who."

Duck stands up on the glass table and makes a loud and public announcement. "Hear me pathetic losers who came here to shop for your mommies…"

His speech was interrupted by a teenage boy who pushed his way and poked his way from the back of the line. "Pathetic losers? Is that why you're here?

Dick glared at him from the middle of the line and seethed, "you're despicable." Then he tuned back and continued his speech.

I am Danger Duck; the greatest crime fighter of all time and unless you would like to taste my wrath; as the most heroic and not to mention handsome superhero of Acmetropolis; I demand you serve me and give me my food right now!"

Duck folded his arms, only to hear the sound of laughter coming from the people in line. He opened his eyes; only to see others laughing up a storm, including Slam. Duck glared at the Tasmanian Devil, who soon looked guilty and shrugged his shoulders.

"Oooh, so you wanna get served, eh Dorky Duck?" Duck heard the boy from the back of the line.

"That's Danger Duck, so do me a favour snappy chappy and go watch the news," the mallard chattered back.

"Okay then, here is your food; it's called a knuckle sandwich, enjoy." The boy punches Duck, who goes flying into the meat machine and while the lady is cutting the meat; she accidentally cuts Duck. Duck comes out as the shape of a turkey roll.

Slam jumps over the table and takes the sliced up Duck and puts him into a sandwich. "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Take it easy there, big guy; I'm too handsome to be a knuckle sandwich." Duck tries to zigzag his way out of the knuckle sandwich and starts banging his head on the table to restore his head. He stops to see the lady looking at him gloomily, but she snaps at him sharply. "Hey, you crazy psycho path; no banging your head on the table; you're going to spoil the meat. If you really want to make your life a living poop; go over to the pickled olive section and close the door on your head a couple million timed. Otherwise, if you can't control yourself, I'm going to have to…"

"Have to what? Ask me to leave?" Duck interrupted

"First of all Scrooge, don't interrupt the worker" she continued, and secondly; it wouldn't be asking."

Duck finally restored his head; the clerk walks by, stops to sees this and shakes his head; "tsk, tsk, tsk. You just can't get enough can you, you sneaky devil you," then the clerk walks away and Duck looks from the lady all the way to him.

"Yeah, toodles, noodles," he calls out. "Come on Slam, were out of here," he gestures.

"Okay," Slam grumbles deeply and follows the steamed duck.

Meanwhile

Zero is hiding behind a counter and he takes out a large weapon from behind his back and sees Slam and Duck. He looks through the hole and tries to aim at Slam and Duck. So, just when he is about to shoot; Duck and Slam hear a loud scream from far away. Slam and Duck hurry and as they run, a huge, fiery bullet comes out and misses them completely. Zero looks away in frustration and follows the two heroes.

Slam and Duck are running and they see Mindy, being held up hostage by a stranger in a green suit with another weapon in his hand. The two of them are shocked to see this and they look at each other. The man takes off his mask, revealing his identity. His face was a much tanned brownish-orange color, with thick, black lining around his eyes, red lips and an scary expression on his face.

"You come any closer and she gets it," he yells and points at the frighten rabbit, as he points the weapon closer to her.

"Duck, Slam save yourselves; there's not much time left," she screamed as she tried to take the stranger's huge hand away from her mouth long enough.

Duck's eyes began to glow his usual orange glow and he looked up at the frightening and intimidating villain. "Alright, buster; release the rabbit, or taste the wrath of Danger Duck!"

All the villain began to do was laugh deeply and hysterically at the duck's comments and trying to be intimidating mark. Duck through a huge glowing egg at the crook, only turning him into a spiral that was disappearing into the blank. Instead, the blank turned into a pitch black background, with strong wind blowing things out of way. People began to scream and panic and fear for their lives, as this thief's taunting laugh says "I've done my job well."

Mindy was released free, but just simply terrified after one look of the dark. She grabbed Duck and Slam; and took them somewhere safe, where they weren't seen.

"Look, just save the people and yourselves; I'll be fine. I can protect myself, because my brother taught me some moves and I feel confident enough to stand up for this guy. Just do your job the way you usually do and just don't worry about me," Mindy panicked as her hair was blowing in the strong wind.

"Are you crazy? Its way too dangerous and I never thought I'd say this; but I have to save everybody. Even if it's another reminder of Ace Bunny," Duck explained. "Just stay here and don't move, okay? Promise me," he panicked.

Mindy sighed in disappointment, "fine, I promise," she said finally.

Mindy hid under a wooden box of vegetables and watching Slam and Duck from afar. Duck looked around the dark place and tried not to show that he was afraid. Slam clenched his fist and showed that he was ready for action. But, things didn't go so well because in fact; even though there was two Loonatics, the both of them were very frightened, just looking at that dark background. But, what frightened them even more was when they heard a very eerie voice. The voice tried to get into Duck's head first.

"Duck? Duck? Hello there, Duck. You know how to be ready for danger when it approaches, eh Duck?"

Then the voice started screaming that it startled Duck. "No, you can't because you're weak and insecure!!!"

The voice quieted down again back to its normal pitch, "you know that you are very insecure. You know that you have no confidents in yourself and try to hide it. You are not very sure of yourself and you wish that you were more like your leader."

As he heard this and shifted around quickly in panic; Duck was quivering and sweating bullets. But, it wasn't long until the voice reached Slam.

"Slam? Slam? Very strong aren't you? Well, you think so now; but wait until you meet another superhero who is bigger, meaner and stronger than you. The Loonatics would need you anymore. Oh no, Slam; they won't need you at all and neither will anybody else. You just want to prove that you are the best, when you are really the worst for thinking that way. It's never going to happen; you were never, you are not now and you will never be the strongest hero in Acmetropolis ever. You hear me, Slam? Never?"

The voice began to laugh as the two started quivering and shaking with fear. Then, it spoke again.

"You will never be great, you are too weak. You will never be great, you are too weak. You will never be great, you are too weak."

Soon, Slam and Duck started saying it gloomily in unison. "We will never be great, you are too weak. We will never be great, you are too weak. We will never be great, you are too weak."

Suddenly, Duck's eyes began to glow deep and dark red. He began to growl and gives an evil look. Then, he looked over and Slam's eyes changed into the most evil red color you'll ever imagine. The two of them began to growl and began to destroy everything in the store, people began screaming and running around in panic as the two of them reached for one separate group of cowering citizens. Mindy couldn't take it anymore; she just had to come out and show herself.

"Guys, snap out of it, you are under a spell. Please, you have to fight it!" She tried to convince them, but no luck.

"Go, destroy her now, my new minions," the voice ordered them.

Slam and Duck did what they told and headed toward Mindy very slowly, with their hands out, like vampires. As the two came closer to her, Mindy got more frightened and held herself. "No, please; you have to fight it! You have to fight it!"

The poor rabbit already had tears in her eyes welling down like a waterfall and when the two Loonatics finally reached her, Mindy ran back to the box and covered her eyes. But, to surprise; Duck and Slam glanced over and when the voice came out revealing himself, the two of them gave that figure one good kick, which sent him flying.

"Are you okay," Mindy heard Duck's voice and opened her eyes. She noticed that Slam lifted up the box and him and Duck were both standing beside her.

"But… how? I thought you…"

"What? No way," Duck interrupted. "When that jerk thought that he had hypnotized us, he didn't know that we were wearing these protective goggles that Tech invented for us. We knew that something would happen, so we took them just in case. I guess I should have told you earlier, but the main thing is; at least we are safe."

Mindy blew a big sigh of relief and hugged the two heroes. When she was about to hug Slam; he had her in such a tight lock that she couldn't breathe.

"Okay, Slam. She's had enough," Duck said as he tried to break them apart. "Now let's get home; it's too late to finish buying all of this junk, so I figure that we will order in. But, I have to see if it's okay with the Almighty fearless leader first," he continued with a sarcastic tone.

"Okay, well… thanks for saving my life, Duck. Maybe you're not so bad after all." When Mindy left, she gave Duck a small kiss on the cheek and Duck blushed.

After watching her leave, Slam then gave Duck a weird look on his face, as he saw the mallard still smiling. "ugdhcjhdusch?" He grumbled in puzzlement.

"No, I do not like her." Duck said in denial My heart belongs to no one, but Misty Breeze; shouldn't you know me by now?" He questioned rudely.

All Slam did was just shrug his shoulders and then, he followed Duck near the exit. When they got to the exit, there was a payphone and Duck took out a quarter and held it up slightly; to let the light shine on it.

"How 'bout it Slam, buddy? Egg rolls," he said as he smiled at his pal.

"Egg roll, egg roll, egg roll," Slam grumbled in excitement.

Duck put in the quarter and as the phone started ringing and Ace picked it up on the other line. "Hello, Ace; I was thinking of ordering out tonight. Yes, it's a long story and now I do not want to talk about it."

The End of Short 1

I hope that was a funny short story for you. Yes, it is hard to believe that it is called a "short story," because this chapter is quite long, but don't worry about that. Just tell me soon on what you think.
