Everybody knows the legendary Looney Tunes; Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, the Tasmanian Devil, Lola Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, Roadrunner etc. And even if it was millions of years they're never forgotten. Especially considering their descendants; the Loonatics. But we're not going to talk about all of them just a couple of them, or more specifically Tech E. Coyote and Rev Runner the descendants of Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. You see, back when the Looney Tunes were alive, Wile and Roadrunner were the best of friends. However Wile feared he might hurt his friend because of his instinct to eat roadrunners. So he made an invention that will take away that very instinct. It was risky and could possibly kill but he was willing to take that chance if it means protecting his friend. It worked, and better than he could image for descendants also don't have this instinct. Almost a century later the coyotes no longer have a desire for roadrunner meat. However not all roadrunners believe this and still fear them. But it didn't stop Tech and Rev from being friends just like their ancestors.
"Ouch! Stupid wires!" a male teenage voice is heard from a room. In that room lives the younger brother of Rev Runner, Rip Runner. It was a typical teenager's room; rock band posters on walls, dirty and/or clean clothes all over the place like there was a bomb. The works. Rip is at his desk working on some sort of a machine. It looks like one of the old cameras that uses a stand when some ones not holding it. Rip was working on the wiring, but it kept shocking him for the past hour and he's feeling like just throwing it to the wall and give up. However he was determined. Since Rev would be too busy with his superhero duties to help the family business it's up to Rip to take the torch. That is if his invention works the way he hopes. After the Robo-Amigo incident, Rips been working it so he won't be a disappointment to his parents.
However, lately he's been having some trouble with his machine. Not once. Not twice. But thrice did it broke down today. Rip groaned after another spark danced on his hand. He decided to go ahead to call Rev to come and help him, and hopefully he'll bring Tech. If there's one thing he and Rev have in common is their liking to the green coyote. In fact Rip idolizes him. His parents didn't know of course. However that will change thanks to his invention. That is, again, that it will work. He knew Tech helped his older brother but didn't say anything about it.
It took them a couple hours, for they were in the middle of fighting against Mastermind, to get there. Of course Mr. and Mrs. Runner were happy to see their son again, but not so much to see Tech again. In fact they glared at him but he just brushed it off.
Rip put his machine on the coffee table and revealed it to them. "Oh-wow!-That's-a-pretty-cool-gadget…What-does-it-do?" Rev was the first to comment with his super speed talk. Rip fidgeted for moment while he answered, "I can't tell you, it's a surprise." Ralph raced to him, "Well-whatever-ti-does-I'm-sure-it'll-be-good-for-the-market.-Good-job-son!" He patted his youngest son on the back for emphasis. However, it was a little harder than he intended for it knocked Rip into the machine and pressed a red button which turns it on. It rattled for a second then a blue beam shot out of the lens and hit the person right in front of it, which happens to be Tech. He howled in agony for it felt like his molecules are being taken apart and put back together. It was only a few seconds before it finally stopped.
The roadrunners were frozen in shock before Rev ran to his friend and helped him up. "Tech-are-you-hurt?-Oh-what-am-I-saying-of-course-you're-hurt!—I-mean-you-were-SCREAMING-in-pain-like-you're-being-torn-apart-and-" Tech interrupted him so he can breathe, "I'm fine. Nothing like painkillers and regeneration can't help." Rev gently took him to the couch so he can rest. As soon as the pain subsided, Tech took a look at the machine but kept his distance and tries not to touch it in case it happens again. Judging by it, he can tell it was supposed to have a mental effect but it wasn't wired right. "What WAS it supposed to do?" Tech turned to the machine's inventor. Rip looked down at the ground like it's the only thing he can look at. Just when he was about to ask again Rip finally answered; "It was supposed to make roadrunners change their minds about coyotes being bad when it's obvious they're not. It was mainly for Mom and Pop with their coyote issues." Rip looked back up to their eyes to try and find some sign of what they're thinking, "Go ahead, laugh, I know you want to."
Rev put his hands on Rip's shoulders to make sure he has Rip's full attention. "No-we're-not-going-to-laugh.-If-anything-that's-not-a-bad-idea.-I-mean-I-can't-believe-we-never-thought-of-this-before.-If-it-can-make-roadrunners-change-their-minds-imagine-what-else-we-can-do-with-it!" Rip let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. "That's great and all but what about Tech? The machine wasn't finished and it's a prototype. There's no telling what would happen." Everybody in the room can see and hear the worry coming off of him. Tech took a step forward but kept his distance knowing that the parents are still wary of him, "Whatever happens we can fix. If something weird is happening, we can come back and fix this. Besides, after everything that always happen to us I'm sure it's not bad."
Tech will soon learn to eat those words in the morning.
