Disclaimer: Loonatics, Looney Tunes, and Duck Dodgers characters are all property of Warner Bros., and I, unfortunately, am not making a dime off this piece. Ambassador Johnson is a hybrid creation (I think), since she's my character who's sort of based on one of WB's character prototypes, which they effectively ditched. But I must give credit to WB to avoid a lawsuit. All other characters, however, are my property and shall remain mine unless WB contacts me with an offer to buy them off of me (not bloody likely to happen, but a girl can dream, can't she?).

Warnings: some violence, some OOCness, and original characters. Rating might do up with content in future (remains to be seen).

This is my first Loonatic fic (can already hear the groans from the LT forum while dodging flying vegetables), and it's a slight crossover with Looney Tunes and the Duck Dodgers series. In case you've never seen either, I'll answer any questions as they arise. Otherwise, there are sites which can give you the basic rundown. For the sake of my fic, some facts will be slightly skewed. For example, Daffy Duck and Duck Dodgers are usually considered separate characters with Daffy as an actor playing the role of the other. In here, they are considered the same person.

Prologue

Flipping through the channels, the figure had stumbled across a news station that was showing yet another crime scene starring Earth's latest super heroes.

"In latest news, the super hero team known as the Loonatics have apprehended yet another villain. . ."

"Figures. Seven hundred years of progress and over 15,000 channels and there's still nothing good on television." The man watched as a yellow and black rabbit with sharp, pointed fur was being interviewed alongside a black and orange duck.

Snarling in disgust, the viewer continued to channel surf . Unfortunately, he forgot he wasn't the only one in the room.

"What are you doing!" A stern female voice interjected behind him. He found himself sinking into his chair.

"I was just-" he managed sheepishly.

"Change it back!" How was it that even as equals, she always managed to order him around like an underling?

"All right, all right," he finally consented wearily, and turned back to the news station.

". . .saving Acmetropolis from utter annihilation."

"I still don't understand what's the obsession with these things," he cocked a curious eye as he watched the team of multi-colored zoo animals wave to the cameras.

"You know the reason."

"Doesn't mean I have to like it," he pouted and crossed his arms.

"No one's asked you to like them," his partner snipped back at him. She paused for a moment as she observed some replayed footage of the creatures battling their latest foe, and she found herself unconsciously shivering.

"They are rather creepy looking, aren't they?"

"You really think they'll go for it?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know what to expect. But I don't see any reason why not to at least make an attempt. We have nothing to lose."

"Just so long as none of them linger around too long." That much she agreed with him on. Unfortunately, she was no soothsayer and couldn't tell what would be necessary in the future.

"We'll see."


Just a teaser there, folks. Lame title, I know, but titles aren't really my forte. Please read and review. Any constructive criticism will be appreciated.

And thanks to matn90, who explained to me what a "city-planet" was! Basically from what I got, Acmetropolis is just one big city that encompasses the planet Earth. I suspect that there are no longer countries or other cities in the traditional sense, and I'm assuming that the mayor is the overall leader.
