Loonakids: Before and After
OK, this is the first in the spin-off series I said I might do for the kids. In this story, their parents' pasts come back to haunt them. I'll be working on these stories and we'll see how far it goes. Anyway, no focus characters unless Tech qualifies, which I doubt. Please read and review, no bad reviews, please, and I would like to say "thanks" to the 2 or 3 people who have reviewed my stories. Keep it up! Now, on with the story!
Chapter 1
Someone in a black cloak and brown hat, broke the glass on one of the displays in the museum. Whoever it was reached in and began to withdraw the jewel from the casing when they heard a voice behind them.
"Forgive me for stealing a line, but 'what's up, doc?'"
The cloaked figure turned to see 3 bunnies, 2 birds, and 4 coyotes, all of the age of 14, behind them.
The one who had spoken was the boy bunny, the second oldest in the group, wearing a yellow and black uniform. "Now I suggest you drop the diamond and get out." He took out a sword.
In response to this action, the cloaked person jumped into the air, doing a somersault before landing on the wall and then jumping off the ceiling and landing on their feet.
"Whoa, someone's been working out," the orange and black duck pointed out, holding up his hands as some of the objects around him lifted up and threw themselves at the figure. The person dodged them with extreme flexibility.
"So you want flexibility, eh?" asked the bunny with the sword, putting it back in his pocket, "I'll show you flexibility!" He reached his arm out and grabbed the person's foot, making them trip and drop their hat.
Before anyone could see even if the robber was a boy or a girl, the person did a cartwheel, grabbing the hat in the process and putting it on as the figure landed. At that, the cloaked figure took out several daggers in each hand and threw them at the group.
The youngest of the bunnies, wearing brown, held out her hand and a force field formed, blocking the daggers from making contact with any of them.
The youngest in the whole group, a purple coyote, turned into a tiger and jumped at the figure, slicing with his claws. The figure dodged that attack, too.
The eldest, a pink girl bunny, made a fire ball in her hands (or paws) and threw it at the still dodging cloaked person.
"What is up with this guy?" asked the eldest coyote, a girl in silver and black, "Down."
The group all ducked as the young coyote turned back. The daggers the figure threw this time all launched into the wall and implanted themselves there. When the group got back up, the figure and jewel were both gone.
"Let's go back to the folks," the other boy coyote, dressed in green and black, advised. The rest of them nodded and walked out, activating jet packs and flying off to a tall tower.
When they got there, 2 bunnies, 2 humans, a roadrunner, 2 coyotes, a duck, and a Tasmanian devil were all waiting for them.
"So how did it go?" asked the girl bunny, sitting next to her husband.
"Let me answer that question, Mom," said the brown bunny, walking into the bathroom and flushing the toilet before coming back, "That answer your question?"
"Eh, pretty much," said the guy bunny, putting an arm around his wife.
"That bad, huh?" asked one of the 2 human girls, with black hair.
The 9 anthros nodded.
"Don't worry," said the other human, with brown hair, "It will get better eventually."
"You just keep thinking that," said the green coyote.
"Hey, you've been going about it as the new Loonatics for 2 weeks, Ryan," the older male coyote added.
"Actually, we decided to call ourselves the Loonakids," said the youngest girl in the group, a blue coyote, "You get it?"
"Yeah, I get it, Sarah," said the male coyote's wife, "Did you really decide that?"
"We couldn't come up with anything better without coming up with an alias for each of us, OK?" the other girl coyote responded.
"You know, Kelly, you are psychic," said the brown bunny, "Are you sure you couldn't come up with something?"
"For the last time, Lucy, my powers don't way, remember?"
"Oh, right…Benny, what are we doing now?" the brown bunny, whose name was Lucy, turning to the yellow bunny as she spoke.
"How should I know, Cottontail?" asked Benjamin Bunny, using his little sister's affectionate nickname.
"Well, you are the leader, remember?" asked the pink bunny.
"You're the oldest, Nadine," Benny added.
"And, therefore, second-in-command," the pink bunny, whose name was Nadine, corrected.
"Wait a second," the orange duck interrupted, "when did we decide that Benny here was the leader?"
"On 2 occasions," said the silver coyote, whose name was Kelly, "1: when he took the original leader's uniform, and 2: last night when we changed the team's name and put into a vote each member's position. Benny's leader, Nadine's second-in-command, and Lucy and the 4 coyotes are the joint-commanding officers, otherwise."
"How come Robert and I didn't get a vote on who's important and who's not?" asked the duck, pointing to the red male roadrunner standing beside him.
"Um, Robert did get a vote," the blue coyote, whose name was Sarah, said, "He's the alternate officer or whatever."
"Well, then, how come I'm not allowed a vote about who's in this 'jury'?" asked the duck.
"Because you're not on the 'jury'," Kelly and Ryan said at the same time, laughing as soon as they were done.
"That's not funny," the duck mumbled, turning his back on them.
"It is from over here, Jack," said Nadine, trying hard not to giggle, but still holding a smile as she spoke.
The duck whose name was Jack walked over to the spot next to where Nadine was standing. "I still don't get it."
"Hey," said Lucy, holding out her hand and creating a force field which knocked Jack back onto the couch, "'Jury only' section." Benny smiled, but was smart enough not to laugh.
Jack held out his hand and threw 3 tomatoes, 2 apples, 2 oranges, and a banana at the bunnies from a basket on the table where the group was standing.
"OK, we get it!" Benny shouted, now covered slightly in tomato juice. Jack stood up. "You can be an officer."
"Thank you," Jack said, standing straight.
"Yeah, least important officer," Nadine said. All the girls, Ryan, and Robert burst out laughing at that. The purple coyote and Benny still only smiled and didn't laugh, but you could tell they were holding back.
"Still not funny!" Jack yelled.
"Eh, he gets it from his dad," said the silver bunny on the couch, "Ain't that right, Duck?" He turned to a dark-feathered mallard a few feet away.
Danger Duck had always wanted to be important when he was on the team. "Yeah, I get it, Ace. Some things never change."
The silver-furred bunny, whose name was Ace, got up from the couch and went over to the kids. "So, uh, what exactly happened?"
"No idea," Kelly said, "Somebody just broke into the museum and took some jewel."
"Do you know who it was?"
"No."
"Do you know if it was a guy or gal?"
"No."
"Do you know any information of any sort to help us figure out why they wanted that trinket?"
"Not really."
"Worst psychic ever," Ryan said, "Right, Michael?" He turned to the purple and black coyote next to him, the youngest in the room.
"I'm not getting involved," was the 14-year-old coyote boy's response.
"Hey, don't make me send some Ghosts to haunt you," Kelly said, making Ghost noises after she said it.
"Very funny," Ryan said, stepping back slightly, "I wouldn't be able to see or hear them, anyway, you know."
"True," Kelly said, "But I could and it would still be fun. Right, Sarah?"
"You're asking the wrong person," Sarah pointed out, "I can't see them either. Ask dad."
"No," the older male coyote said, "don't ask dad. I don't want to get involved either."
His wife smiled. "Same old coyote you always were, huh, Tech?"
The coyote named Tech smiled at his wife. "I guess so, Sophie."
"I can see where Michael and Sarah get it," said the black-haired human.
"It's funny, Wendy," the coyote named Sophie pointed out, "Jack has the same power you do, Nadine has your other power and she's not related in any way, and Lucy has a power that Lexi had temporarily." She gestured to the cream-furred female bunny sitting on the couch where Ace was.
"And Kelly has the same power Tech has which was always highly likely," the bunny named Lexi said, "And Ryan has his 2 other powers in a different form. And I'm pretty certain Robert has a more severe version of Duck's water power."
"I'm surprised no one got mine and Sophie's powers," said the brown-haired human.
"True, Daniella, very true," said Tech, "But, no one got Slam's or Rev's or Ace's either." Everyone in the room knew that Slam was the Tasmanian devil and Rev was the older male roadrunner.
"Regardless of our powers through inheritance, no matter how oddly the inheritance went through," Kelly said, "what do you think that guy…or girl…wanted with that jewel they took?"
"I don't know, but I smell a rat," said Ace, "There's something going on here."
On the other side of the planet of Acmetropolis, the cloaked figure arrived in a large, dark room and placed the jewel next to a few other items. "Soon, my plan with be complete and I can go back and correct the Loonatics mistakes, starting with the coyote in the year 2771." The figure pulled down her hood to reveal a girl of no more than 17 years of age. She had shoulder length black hair pulled in pigtails and eyes that glowed green. She waved her hand and a portal opened in midair, not a teleportation portal, but one to reveal what someone was doing somewhere else. Through the opening, she could see the group, the "Loonakids" and their parents, talking in the living room and messing with their powers, laughing occasionally at something they had said or done. "You won't be having fun soon. I'll be rid of you or my name isn't Macy Mastermind."
I hope you liked it! There will be another chapter and it will explain more about this mysterious "cloaked figure" named Macy Mastermind (I hope). Tell me what you think (no--well, you know the story)! I'll continue writing and hope that the story gets better. Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving and get a good Christmas (in a few weeks). More posts later!
