OK, guys! First of all, here is the full summary:

Brylee Bunny is a million things. An adopted daughter. An adopted sister. An aspiring musician. An aspiring photographer. A diabetic. An outcast. A…superhero? Brylee is thrust into a new life; a life where she has superpowers and she, along with her adoptive brother Ace and five other individuals, save the world from evil on a daily basis. How will she adapt to her new life? Especially when it brings up even more questions about the family who abandoned her?

Obviously, I own nothing except for Brylee.

ENJOY!

or not…

This will be a long one.


A lot can change in 14 years.

It has been 14 years since Brylee was born and her mother left her with another family. She always knew she was adopted. She was a human with an anthropomorphic bunny family.

She certainly didn't need other people making snide remarks about it, though.

Some major events have happened in her life. When she was two, her adoptive father was taken from their home and was never seen again. Even to this day, they have no idea why. Police have tried everything, but it was as though he disappeared without a trace. In the end, they have given up and had him declared dead.

When she was four, she was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Fortunately, it has become manageable. It comes down to her diet, exercise, monitoring her blood sugar and making sure her insulin pump is set up correctly. The hard part was affording it when she was younger. Her mother's job paid well, but not that well. A group people considered to be a gang ran the community she lived in. They didn't smuggle drugs, launder money or take part in any human trafficking. Instead, they were like Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. They took care of their own. They helped pay Brylee's medical bills and made sure she had everything she needed to manage her diabetes.

When she was twelve, her adoptive mother died. It was a car accident; the police had said when they came to her house to deliver the news. She was driving home from a local clinic where she was volunteering her services as a midwife when someone ran a red light and drove off after the accident. She died upon impact. That was the only good thing Brylee and her brother, Ace, could take away from the whole thing. She didn't suffer. Two days later, they learned that Ace was to be her legal guardian. He was only 18, just got out of high school and was working as a stunt rabbit at a film studio. But he made everything work for them. He made sure there was food on the table, clothes on their back, Brylee got a good education at Acmetropolis High and her diabetes remained under control.

Then almost a year ago, not long after Brylee had turned fourteen, her life changed in a different way. A meteor hit Acmetropolis and released a strange, but powerful radiation. It changed everything for everyone. The planet was knocked off of its original axis. It was supposed to destroy the planet – it was large enough to – but for some reason, it didn't.

Instead, the radiation gave Brylee, Ace and five other individuals strange superpowers. A woman named Zadavia found them and banded them together to be a team – a team of superheroes to defend Acmetropolis from anything and everything.

So this became Brylee's new life. She moved to the 134th floor of the towers with these people, began attending Acmetropolis High via correspondence and joined what became known as The Loonatics.

She wore a black uniform with the triangle on her chest like her teammates. But each teammate had a different colored triangle. Brylee's triangle was white. Ace said it represented her powers. She could produce beams to do anything she wanted and those beams were bright like the light. Her uniform also had special modifications made to it to accommodate her insulin pump, a necessity to her life. Her blonde hair was always up in a ponytail – it would be more practical, she said. Her eyes, which were blue when she was born, changed to green, as her genetics dictated.

"Brrr, now that is cold!"

Brylee looked up from her book – Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for her honors literacy class – to see Tech E. Coyote, one of her teammates, examine the pizza Rev Runner, another teammate of hers, had just brought over for him.

Tech is a coyote, who is a lot like his ancestor Wile E. Coyote. Only…he doesn't blow himself up as much as his ancestor did and doesn't have Wile's obsession with chasing roadrunners across the globe. However, if Tech did accidentally blow himself up, it wouldn't have caused that much of a worry. One of Tech's superpowers is molecular regeneration, meaning that Tech could heal himself from any injury (unfortunately for him, the power still didn't stop him from feeling the pain associated with the injury). His other power was the ability to create magnetic pulses, which would allow him to levitate metallic objects, scramble electronics and create barriers. Something else that wasn't considered to be a superpower was his superhuman intelligence (mainly because he was already highly intelligent before the meteor hit). He was responsible for creating the team's weapons and other objects and sometimes; coming up with something that potentially saved their lives in the field. His uniform triangle is green, which also matched the color of his powers.

Rev is a roadrunner who is super fast just like his ancestor Road Runner. Rev's velocity is clocked at 9887.9 metres-per-second, faster than even Road Runner himself. He can also fly without a jet pack unlike the rest of the team. He can also track down anyone with his sixth sense: global positioning. As much as Brylee loved Rev, however, his rapid speech sometimes confused or annoyed the others. Rev was also a genius in his own right – but he wasn't on Tech's level. His uniform triangle is red, since it can represent speed.

Tech took a bite out of his pizza, which was frozen solid, and snarked to Rev, "Where did you get it?! Iceland?!"

"Actually…no," Rev began before launching into one of those rapid and unnecessary explanations Brylee saw coming, "I just picked it up from the pizza joint downtown, which I must say is abnormally cold for this time of year. But if you really liked the pizza from Iceland, I could go get some and be back in 4.2 second, which, of course, is just an estimation because you never really know about traffic."

Brylee had to laugh slightly as she saw Tech shove the frozen slice into Rev's mouth. The banter Tech and Rev have shared since they met is highly amusing. It almost resembled the rivalry their ancestors shared. Only, they didn't try to kill each other every chance they got.

"That was one of those questions that didn't require an answer," Tech muttered as Rev walked away and Tech tapped the frozen pizza with his finger.

Suddenly, Tech turned his head in the direction towards their team leader: Ace. Whenever Ace wasn't saving the world or training, he could be found meditating on that hovering disc with the sword he was given resting on his hands. To Brylee, Ace had changed since the meteor hit and they joined the Loonatics. Sure. Ace still loved a good joke as much as his ancestor Bugs Bunny did. However, he was also more serious. Brylee suspected it was because of the amount of responsibility he had thrust upon him.

"Hey, Ace!" Tech called.

Ace opened one eye and saw what Tech wanted him to do.

"On it, Tech," Ace smirked.

Within moments, lasers were shooting out of Ace's eyes and melted the ice that encased the pepperoni pizza. That was one of Ace's powers: Infrared laser vision. Brylee learned early on when they were first discovering their powers that she did not want to be on the receiving end of one of Ace's laser blasts. Especially when he was still trying to control his powers, like everybody else had to. Accompanying this power was optical enhancement, allowing him to see better than everybody else here. However, in battle, he preferred to fall back to his martial arts rather than his powers.

"Extra crispy," Tech said happily before politely offering, "Pizza, Duck?"

Now Brylee liked Danger Duck. She truly did. They could relate sometimes. However, there were times – more often than not – where he could be annoying. He is very boastful and tries to say he is better than everyone at anything, which leads to some hilarious moments when he did try to 'walk the talk'. He keeps saying that he will one day be the leader of the Loonatics. However, he does tolerate Ace's leadership. He keeps boasting about his powers, which are the ability the produce 'eggs' filled with random substances and teleportation to short distances. He also tries to reinvent himself to get him noticed to Zadavia and to be better than everyone else. Right now, he had tied a piece of material to him like a cape and was looking at himself in the mirror while trying to think of a new name for himself.

"Are you kidding?" Duck scoffed at Tech's offer, "I've already had my protein shake. It's vitally important to maintain a superhero physique because you can't afford to be flabby when you're the Duckinator!"

"Yesterday, you were calling yourself Super Duper Duck," Brylee pointed out, sliding a bookmark to mark where she was up to in her book before closing it, deciding she wouldn't get anymore reading done for the time being.

"Yeah, well, it wasn't quite rolling off the tongue," Duck shrugged in a dismissive manner, "Besides, I need a name that will fit on the costume."

"How about…?" Ace trailed off, pretending to be thinking about it before saying, "Duck?"

Duck just deadpanned at Ace and said in a sarcastic manner, "Very funny."

That was something else Duck inherited from his ancestor Daffy Duck: his sarcasm.

At that moment, Brylee heard the sound of the door whoosing open and music. Loud music. She didn't need to turn around to see who just entered.

Lexi was someone Brylee got along with extremely well. It might be because Lexi was the only other female on the team and as Lexi said when they first met, "Us girls should stick together!" Lexi is Ace's second-in-command. She is a bunny like Ace and is the most beautiful person Brylee has ever met. Very much like her ancestor Lola, Lexi is very conscious about her appearance. It was something that Brylee couldn't help but envy. She could make a potato sack look beautiful if she wanted to. Lexi is considered to be the most agile and acrobatic member of the team, thanks to her history with gymnastics and cheerleading. She is known as the eavesdropper of the team, because one of her powers is super hearing. She could hear anything and everything – even a high-pitched dog whistle. Another one of her powers was brain blast – shooting psionic energy from the top of her head between her ears, which were upright and tied together with a green ribbon. Very much like with Ace's laser vision, Lexi's brain blast was something she did not want to be at the receiving end of. According to Duck – who is at the receiving end of them frequently – they hurt.

"Tech!" Lexi began as she removed her earphones, "Did you order more than one pie?"

"No. Why?" Tech inquired as he munched happily at the pizza slice.

"Because Slam is in the house!" Lexi answered, the pink circles travelling up her ears to signify that her super hearing was in use.

As if the words had conjured the man himself, Brylee heard the chime of the elevator and the sound of Slam's grumblings.

Slam couldn't speak English that well, but Brylee had no trouble understanding him. Brylee considered Slam as the muscle of the Loonatics because of his powers. His strength was something he inherited from his ancestor, Taz. But the meteor seemed to increase his strength to abnormal abilities. He can also produce tornadoes with different functions, including suction mode. In his thunder mode, he can launch small electric tornadoes and can generate flame through fiction.

Slam also loved his food and sometimes, eating with him was not pretty. However, Slam was always considerate of Brylee's needs because of her diabetes. He always left food for her and it was always something she was able to eat – even if he was in one of his crazed moods.

Nothing could get between Slam and his food. So everyone was surprised when he came in slightly frozen. The last they had heard, a heat wave – not a cold wave – was going through Acmetropolis. Temperatures were meant to be at triple digits. Not below zero. When she coupled that with Tech's pizza being delivered mysteriously frozen, she knew something was up.

Then she heard the familiar beeps.

Everyone turned around and saw the holocom come to life with Zadavia's image. Her white blonde hair was being blown up by an invisible wind underneath her. Her eyes were white all over, so Brylee could not say what colour her eyes were.

"Loonatics, we have a problem," Zadavia began.

Immediately, Brylee knew that another mission was on the way.

"You've got that right, Zadavia, I'd say we've got a serious problem," Ace remarked.

Ace and Brylee rubbed a circle through the condensation to look out the window. Ice was beginning to form all over the city, covering the buildings and freezing everything in sight.

"Well, there's something you don't see everyday," Brylee remarked dryly.

Within moments, everyone was in the conference room in their designated seats. On the screens surrounding them, they saw the cause of the mass freeze in Acmetropolis.

A massive iceberg had emerged from Acmetropolis Bay and as it made landfall, the intensely cold temperature of it froze everything within the general vicinity.

"Eh, what's up, Zadavia? Certainly not the temperature!" Ace cracked.

"So far, nobody can figure out where this iceberg came from," Zadavia began as her hologram reappeared, "I don't have to tell you what will happen if the temperature keeps dropping."

"I knew it!" Duck sighed before saying something that made Brylee want to face palm, "We're gonna lose cable again."

Brylee didn't face palm as she thought she would. Instead, she slammed her head against the table at Duck's overall annoyance.

"OK. Maybe I do have to tell you!" Zadavia snapped, causing Duck to lose his cocky manner.

Brylee decided to beat her boss to the punch, "We could be heading towards an ice age we had 117,000 years ago."

"Oh great. Those winter sweaters make me look chubbo," Lexi moaned.

Brylee had to agree with Lexi. The winter sweaters weren't the most flattering pieces of clothing anyone could find..

"When the meteor hit Earth, your superpowers weren't the only after-effect. This iceberg could be related," Zadavia suggested.

"I think we can handle one iceboig," Ace smirked.

"Acmetropolis is counting on you to take care of this," Zadavia said to the team firmly before disconnecting with a final, "Zadavia out."

"When she goes out, where does she go? The movies?" Lexi guessed.

"Maybe she monitors the city for more missions," Brylee suggested, "It would be the more logical solution."

"Tech, we'll need some toys to melt this ice cube," Ace said to the resident inventor.

"Excuse me, chief. They're not toys. They're precision handcrafted alloy instruments," Tech corrected, clearly annoyed by the fact that his inventions were dismissed as nothing more than toys.

"We'll take those too. But foist, the toys!" Ace decreed.

When everybody walked into Tech's lab, they were aiming to get big guns. Instead, they got little circular discs and they didn't know what to do with them.

"The Retro Fire Master Blaster. Hold it in the palm of your hand. Squeeze twice and…," Tech trailed off.

Rev was often the guinea pig concerning Tech's inventions. So it came as to no surprise that Rev was the first to activate the Retro Fire Master Blaster. When he squeezed twice with the palm of his hand, a massive gun appeared and turned on. The gun took up nearly the entire length of his arm.

Slam, who wasn't necessarily the sharpest tool in the shed, had trouble working the weapon. He kept tapping at it with his finger before dropping it and standing on it. Unfortunately, him standing on it acted like squeezing it in his hand and the gun appeared and attached itself to his leg.

"Uh oh," Slam grunted.

Brylee immediately knew what was coming next. The gun fired, but didn't stop. So it acted like a rocket, sending Slam flying all over the lab. Everybody ducked whenever Slam came close to colliding with them.

"Uncurl your toes! Uncurl your toes!" Tech yelled over Slam's screams.

Slam did just that and ended up falling to the ground. Slam cheered as he held the small disc in his hand. Brylee just hoped he didn't activate it again before they needed him to.

"You've gotta love the toys!" Lexi smirked.

"Time to crush some ice! Let's jet!" Ace said.


Whenever Ace said 'Let's jet!', it meant suit up and get ready to go out to battle. Within moments, everybody was racing to the launch pad and grabbing their jetpacks (except for Rev, who didn't need the jetpacks to fly). The good thing about the jetpacks was that Tech designed them to look like backpacks. They attached like backpacks too, with the shoulder straps and the extra straps that ran across the top of their chests and wrapped around their waist for extra security.

They were powerful too, but made for a smooth flight. Brylee enjoyed flying with them.

Within moments, everybody had flown to the iceberg.

"Would you look at that thing?! That's gotta be the biggest iceberg I have ever seen! This is a doozy! Are you sure we put enough juice in the blasters, Tech? Not that I doubt your expertise or anything. But that is one giant-!" Rev began rambling.

"Yo, Rev! Watch where you're talking!" Brylee called after him.

Rev finally turned his head towards the direction he was flying and realised that he was about to crash into the iceberg. Fortunately, he redirected his flight path and flew upwards to join the others before he could.

"OK. What wise guy moved Mount Everest?" Tech joked.

Tech's joke was a valid assessment of the iceberg in Brylee's eyes. The iceberg certainly did look like the iconic mountain everybody always desired to climb. Well, it didn't have the height. But it was close enough.

"Alright. Snow cones for everyone. Set blasters on thaw!" Ace instructed.

Within moments, everybody had the small discs in their hand and they squeezed them twice. The gun appeared and took up most of their arms. As they hit the guns, they began firing the blast that was designed to hit the iceberg. Everybody was hitting the iceberg at different points, hoping to melt the giant structure.

Ace was the first to stop firing as his blaster was about to run out of juice. To Ace's annoyance, the blasters did not have an affect on the ice. The blast didn't even chip it.

"No dice," Ace grumbled before calling, "OK! Cease fire! CEASE FIRE!"

Everybody obeyed his command without hesitation. They were just as annoyed about the fact that the blasters didn't even leave a dent in the iceberg.

"How can my Retro Fire Master Blaster not work?" Tech asked in disbelief.

Something that Tech was not used to was his inventions not working the way they were supposed to. Sometimes they would work, but not the way he designed them to. Sometimes, they weren't powerful enough for what they needed. Or sometimes, it just would not work at all.

"It's OK, Tech. This is why we have a Plan B," Brylee pointed out.

The gang of seven put the small discs in their pockets before heading down to land. Ace landed first, before being followed by Tech and Rev together and finally, Slam, Duck, Lexi and Brylee landed together in a group.

"You're on, Slam, buddy!" Ace smirked.

Slam certainly did not need to be told twice. He reached across him and snapped back rapidly, activation his tornado power. She saw spouts of fire coming from the tornado. He flew up towards the iceberg and flew around it rapidly, causing the iceberg to slowly melt. Brylee felt both the water at her feet and heard the beeps of the temperature gauge on the building behind her begin to climb above the minus digits.

"OK. What did he have for breakfast?" Brylee asked rhetorically.

Around her, she saw the ice begin to melt off of all the buildings and the people. The man and his dog that was peeing next to a streetlight resumed their business. The kids who were playing in the pool began splashing about once again.

"Glorified Zamboni! Chipping ice isn't a superpower! Quacking is a superpower!" Duck scoffed, "Observe!"

'This will be good,' Brylee thought to herself with a smirk.

Brylee was not disappointed. Duck got into position and 'quacked' away, as he liked to say. However, Duck can only teleport short distances and sometimes, he has no control over where he ends up.

This time, he ended up inside the iceberg.

"You can stop observing now," Duck said, trapped between two layers of the ice.

When Slam zoomed past in his flame, Duck fell into the shallow pool that was beginning to form around the slowly melting iceberg. Eventually, when Slam melted the iceberg to a reasonable side (which, for them, was not as big as before), he stopped.

"Good guys: one. Mother Nature: nothing," Ace remarked.

Steam was coming off Slam as he crouched on all fours in the water, panting with his tongue sticking out. Brylee had to laugh in her head at how much Slam resembled that pet dog one of her neighbors owned when she first started school.

She would have laughed out loud rather than in her head if it weren't for the fact she felt sorry for the poor guy.

"Hold on, Ace," Lexi suddenly said, "Mother Nature might be done. But I'm picking something up."

"Perhaps a high-pitched dog whistle," Duck drawled.

Lexi's super hearing was highly sensitive and could pick up just any sound. Duck's tongue-in-cheek comment had happened a few times before, particularly when Lexi – along with the rest of the team – was going through an adjustment period where she got used to having powers and learning how to control them.

Then Brylee heard the rumbling and the sound of the iceberg breaking apart. The chunks of ice falling away created small waves as they landed in Acmetropolis Bay. Fortunately, the waves weren't big enough to roll over the retaining walls that blocked the water's access to the city.

But when they saw the big Viking-like ship emerge from the mist, a lot of them began thinking that they would have rather have to deal with the tsunami instead.

The door that was positioned in the neck of the dragon-like structure opened and multiple figures jumped out, landing in front of him.

"Robot Vikings?" Brylee said in surprise.

The figures standing before her were, for a lack of better description, robot Vikings. They had the same design as some of the Vikings Brylee had heard about in her childhood stories. Big. Strong. Helmets with horns on them. Carrying an axe or a sword. Even the armor was almost accurate.

All that was missing was the beards.

"Boy, are you guys lost?" Ace drawled.

Another Viking finally joined the rest. It wasn't hard to determine he was the leader. The Chieftain, as he would be referred to if they were genuine Vikings from the Viking era. He was considerably larger than his companions. His armour was a different colour. His sword was noticeably larger than the other weapons.

"What's up, doc?" Ace said.

"I am Gunnar," the leader, Gunner, introduced himself.

"Gonna what? Go to a Viking Convention at the Civic Centre?" Ace joked.

If there was something Ace inherited from Bugs Bunny, it was playing with his adversaries before he finished them. The only villains he didn't do this with were the ones who actually had the potential to be a threat to Ace and anyone on his team.

However, Gunnar and his 'clam members' were the type of people where if someone told them a joke, it would fly right over their heads.

"No! We are here to take over your world!" Gunnar corrected.

Brylee had to admit. It was hard to take their intentions seriously. They were Robotic Vikings, after all.

"You frosted flakes might as well go back to where you came from. Because this is a no-invasion zone," Ace smirked.

"We will conquer your world by any means necessary," Gunnar proclaimed.

"No you won't," Ace taunted.

"Yes we will!" Gunnar said firmly.

"No you won't," Ace repeated.

"Yes we will!" Gunnar snapped.

"Yes you will," Ace smirked, knowing what would happen next.

"NO, WE WON'T CONQUER YOUR WORLD!" Gunner roared, falling right in Ace's trap.

"Have it your way," Ace shrugged.

"Oh, I will enjoy crushing you, rabbit!" Gunnar snarled.

As he said those words, Gunnar lowered his sword, intending to split Ace in half. Ace, known for his fast reflexes, was quick to flip out of the way, his eyes glowing yellow as he drew out his own sword.

"Oh yeah. Like that's ever gonna happen," Ace scoffed.

The others wisely decided it was the best idea to let Ace and Gunnar battle this out. Normally, Gunnar's massive size would give him an advantage against considerably smaller opponents. However, Ace is a gifted swordsman. He was able to give as well as he received. He did just that as he blocked each of Gunnar's blows and made a few attacks of his own in retaliation.

Eventually, Ace jumped over to where his teammates were standing.

"I could keep this up all day," Ace shrugged.

"Taste my cold steal!" Gunnar cackled.

What they did next was one of the last things Brylee expected them to do. Then again, Gunnar and his army were no ordinary Vikings. Gunnar pressed a button hidden in the hilt and his blade began to cackle and charge as though it was a weapon preparing to be fired.

In a way, it was.

"Time to chill out, bunny!" Gunnar snarled as he fired the substance from his sword.

"I don't think so!" Ace shouted as he fired his laser vision in retaliation.

Usually, when the two different temperatures interact, something interesting happens. When hot air meets cold air, it creates a low-pressure weather system. When hot water combines with cold water, they balance each other out so they are the same temperature.

When Ace's hot laser vision and Gunnar's cold blast from his sword combined, they clashed like what happened when Voldemort and Harry Potter duelled in the books Brylee read with her mother when she was young.

"HAMMERS OF FROST!"

The difference between the Harry Potter novels and the reality in front of them is in the Harry Potter novels, Voldemort never got his Death Eaters involved in his battles with Harry directly, preferring to battle Harry by himself, while Gunnar wasn't above using his soldiers to bring his opponents to a disadvantage to allow him a victory.

Gunnar's soldiers pressed a button within their hammers and slammed the heads into the ground. Ice escaped from the hammers and spread across the ground, covering it in a slippery film.

"Ace!" Lexi cried as Ace lost his footing because of the ice.

Something that amazed everyone there – maybe even the villains themselves – was the fact that even as he lost his balance and slid backwards into his teammates, he never broke concentration.

Slam was quick to race forward and support his leader, due to him being the strongest one there. Tech and Brylee knelt beside Ace, holding his arms, while Lexi, Duck and Rev supported Slam so he wouldn't lose his footing himself.

"Their weapons seem to be charged with a sub-zero thermal liquid solidification energy that when fired, can freeze…!" Tech began explaining.

"I think he's got that part figured out, Tech!" Brylee drawled.

Ace didn't say anything in response. Brylee had said it for him. And she was right. He had that part figured out.

Since Ace was too busy battling Gunnar and the other Loonatics were busy supporting him, none of them noticed that the other Vikings had surrounded them and began firing their sub-zero thermal liquid solidification energy at them.

Until it was too late, that is.

Everybody winced and braced themselves as the ice began to surround them. Ace, however, wasn't one to give up that easy and he continued his battle with Gunnar until the team was completely consumed in a cavern of ice.

The Vikings deactivated their weapons when the Loonatics were completely encased in their igloo-shaped structure. There would be no way to break out of that.

"Let's put this city on ice!" Gunnar cackled.

Gunnar and his fellow Vikings charged into the city, intending to conquer it the best way they know how.

Freezing everything in their path.

They left the Loonatics encased in their igloo-shaped structure. They figured that eventually, they would die of hypothermia and there would be no one left to stop them.

What they didn't know is the individual powers the Loonatics possessed.

Duck teleported himself out of the structure and onto the street, clutching himself as he shivered, desperate for warmth.

"OK! I'm out! I'm out and I'm safe! Which is of number one importance. No need to worry about me! I'm…," Duck trailed off as he realized that while he was out, his teammates were still trapped in the ice, "Hello? You still in there? Well, I think that puts me in charge."

Duck cried out in surprise when he heard and felt the rumbling around him. Immediately, he raced towards the structure that trapped his friends inside. However, he got knocked back when the structure shattered and exploded. Slam pounded at the ice from the sides while Brylee shot at the top with her beam from the inside of the structure. Their combined efforts shattered the structure around them, allowing them to be free.

"N-n-n-nice work there, guys!" Ace stammered as he shivered.

"Thanks, bro," Brylee panted, quickly checking the insulin pump Tech built into her uniform to make sure it wasn't damaged. Though, since the pump Tech built her was stronger and able to withstand more damage than the pump she had before the meteor hit, she doubted it was.

"I would have busted you guys out if you had just given me time to think!" Duck snapped.

"We had seconds. Not hours, Duck," Ace retorted as he walked away.

"I liked you better as a snow bunny," Duck grumbled.

The Loonatics began walking through the streets of Acmetropolis. There was no one in sight, and as they took in their surroundings – everything, from the ground they're walking on, to the top of the tallest building – was covered in a layer of ice.

"I like what they've done to the place," Ace joked.

"Snow drifts are very trendy this year," Lexi remarked.

She pointed to a nearby building and a walkway that was so frozen, icicles were hanging from them. When they looked around, they saw a lot of other buildings that were in the same condition.

"Huh. That sounds like Zadavia's ring," Ace suddenly said.

Brylee began to wonder why Ace would suddenly say something like that. Then, she heard the familiar beeping that indicted Zadavia was trying to call them. Brylee traced it to a local ATM machine. When they were out in the field, Zadavia had been known to somehow hijack any form of technology to contact them, from holocom booths to those big screens people love using for advertising their products.

Brylee hit the purple button on the multicoloured ATM keyboard and answered the call with a, "Hello?"

"I guess you know by now that these are no ordinary Vikings," Zadavia observed as her hologram was projected in front of them.

"Yeah. They don't even sound Scandinavian!" Ace cried.

"I believe the iceberg slipped through one of the inter-dimensional portals that opened up after the meteor hit. These mutant techno-Vikings must have been frozen inside in an ice storm in their own dimension," Zadavia speculated, "But now that these Vikings are here in Acmetropolis and have been released…"

"They can freeze the world so they can take over and not have anyone stop them!" Brylee cried out in realisation.

As she said this, Vikings were going around the city freezing anything in their path, from innocent bystanders walking on the footpath to groups and families travelling in cars.

"Precisely. But now, you have bigger problems," Zadavia said.

The team was about to press for more information. But, they found they couldn't as a sudden blast destroyed the ATM they were using as a communication point and knocked them for a doozy.

"I didn't get the last part. What are the bigger problems?" Duck asked.

"I think I can take a guess," Brylee remarked, pointing behind her.

The ship the mutant Vikings arrived on has come to life, shooting ice balls in the shape of cannonballs from the mouth of the dragonhead mounted on top of the mast. With one particular ball, everyone sprinted out of the way.

Except for Duck, who teleported out of the way.

They watched as the dragonhead turned in various directions and fired the ice balls at different areas in Acmetropolis. Each area that was hit by an ice ball was frozen solid.

"If their trail leads into the city, what are they doing back on that boat?" Lexi asked.

"Maybe they didn't want to miss the dinner show: Gunnar on Ice! Let's jet!" Ace cried.

"Right!" Duck raced forward, eager to lead the takeoff, "Ready, team?! One! Two…"

Duck encountered a problem when he pressed the button on top of the handle to activate the jetpack. The rockets fired for a short amount of time before they shorted out.

"Three," Duck finished lamely.

Fortunately, this didn't turn out to be another embarrassing moment for Duck. Everybody's jetpacks were not working.

"Looks like the ice short-circuited our jetpacks!" Ace cried.

Suddenly, all eyes were on Brylee, who seemed to follow everyone's train of thought. If their jetpacks short-circuited due to their time trapped in the ice, her insulin pump could have been compromised. As a type one diabetic, Brylee could not go for extended periods of time without insulin. Of course, the length of time varied for each person and the severity of their condition, but they noticed that Brylee could not go for more than a couple of hours at the most.

"I checked my pump when we broke out of the ice. It's fine," Brylee reassured them, "Tech, do you have a back-up?"

"Glad you asked," Tech smirked.

Tech then took out a remote and pressed the small red button on it. Within seconds, seven high-tech motorcycles appeared from the horizon and stopped in a perfect line in front of them. Ace immediately raced to the first motorcycle on the line and slid on the yellow helmet.

"Let's show these Vikings how to fly!" Ace cried as he zoomed off.

Everybody else hopped onto their individual motorcycles, slid on their helmets and took off after him.

The rims on the rear wheel detached from the wheel as the front wheels spread out. Rockets and hover stabilizers appeared underneath the motorcycle, giving it the ability to fly.

All seven Loonatics drove to the edge of the pier before they flew over. But they didn't crash into the water. Instead, they took off.

On the ship, a group of Vikings were going around freezing anything that wasn't covered in ice.

"The bunny is back," one of the Vikings sneered.

Knowing that they will never take over Acmetropolis with the Loonatics in the way, they decided to shift their attentions to stopping the heroes in their tracks. So instead of firing their ice balls at random places in the city to freeze, they instead began firing their ice balls at the Loonatics.

Each Loonatic manoeuvred their motorcycle effortlessly to avoid the ice balls. Except for Slam, who was standing up and punching the ice balls away.

Duck didn't move out of the way fast enough and the ice ball grazed him. More specifically, his motorcycle did. Lexi happened to be flying by when this happened and was able to help him by using her brain blast to break the ice. With the ice shattered and his movements less erratic, Duck flew next to Lexi and said,

"Daredevil Duck thanks you."

"Pick a name already, would ya?!" Lexi called to his retreating form.

By this point, Brylee was annoyed with just flying around letting the mutant Vikings use them as moving targets.

And she made sure to make that sentiment known to her brother,

"How long are they going to let them use us as moving targets?!"

"Until they run out of spit wads. Which is right….now!" Ace answered as the two looked back and saw that the Vikings have, in fact, run out of ammunition, "Let the fun begin!"

"Aye aye, skipper!" Brylee joked with a salute to accompany.

"Loonatics, unite!" Ace called to the other Loonatics.

The seven Loonatics resumed their flying formation and flew towards the city, away from the Viking ship.

One Viking cackled, "Look at the cowards run!"

"With them gone, no one can stop us!" another Viking sneered.

The Vikings thought they could make a clean getaway. That they could continue with their plan to freeze the world to make it easier for them to conquer.

That is, until they saw a bright light flash from the horizon and their adversaries speeding towards them in a boat.

Ace, Lexi and Rev stood at the front of the ship while Slam, Brylee and Duck surrounded Tech, who was in the driver's seat.

"Tech, you've outdone yourself," Ace declared.

"You can say it. I'm a genius," Tech said smugly.

"Launch the torpedo!" Ace ordered.

Tech pressed a button on the console and within moments, the seven heroes saw the familiar ripples that came from a tornado speeding through the water heading towards its targets.

"So long, ice geeks!" Duck cried.

The Vikings haven't made it easy for the Loonatics to fight them when they first arrived, and they certainly weren't going to start doing that when their plan was in motion. Rockets on the underside of the ship activated, lifting it out of the water and away from the torpedo, which continued on without hitting its target. Wings appeared on each side, allowing the massive ship to glide through the sky.

"Raugh raugh raugh!" Slam grunted, pointing to the ship.

"Yeah, Slam! We didn't see that coming!" Ace agreed with Slam's intelligible statement.

"Flying Vikings?!" Brylee said in disbelief.

"They won't be flying for long," Tech smirked.

Ace smirked at the resident genius on the team. He follows the coyote's train of thought, and he loved what was going to come next.

Tech pressed another button on his console and the tornadoes attached to the ship's hull activated and began lifting the boat out of the water like rockets. Before long, they had caught up with the Viking ship and were flying above them.

"Tech, take them out!" Ace ordered.

"Engaging the cryonic destabilising gravity discs," Tech nodded as he pressed a button.

The disc dispensary on the starboard side of the ship began to spread outwards to drop the discs on the designated target. The only problem was the mechanism was frozen and only worked partially.

"Now!" Ace yelled, meaning that he wanted Tech to fire them.

"Something's wrong with the mechanism!" Tech realised as he kept pressing the buttons, "They won't respond!"

"I'm on it!" Brylee called.

"Be careful, Bry," Ace warned.

She fired a beam from her hand and the initial firing destroyed the ice, but didn't detonate the discs. Using one hand, she created a barrier around the discs while using her other hand to create a beam to carefully push them into the barrier. With both hands, she levitated them up and directed them over the Viking ship, where she deactivated the barrier surrounding them and let them drop.

"Anchors away!" Lexi joked.

Tech's cryonic destabilising gravity discs did the job they intended them to do. They detonated upon impact with the Viking ship, casing the ship to crash into the nearby pier before coming to land in the water.

"I love those explosions!" Ace cheered.

Slam cheered and pulled Brylee into a near-bone-crushing hug, signifying that he thought she did a good job with how she fired the cryonic destabilizing gravity discs.

However, when they landed on the ship, they began to suspect that everything was not what it seemed.

"With their ship down, do you think the big freeze is over, Tech?" Ace asked as he, Brylee, Lexi and Tech stood over a fallen Viking.

They watched with interest as the Viking they were standing over lost its white and blue colour as it deactivated for good and turned a dull red all over.

"All of their power must come from the horns on these helmets," Tech observed, detaching the Viking's head from his body to prove his point.

"Anyone else on board, Rev?" Ace inquired.

Rev raced around the ship in a quick check, responding to Ace's question as he did, "Let's have a look. All clear forward. All clear port, starboard, bow. No Vikings and no spit wads. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm."

"Where did they go?" Brylee voiced the question everyone wanted to ask.

"First we see them. Now we don't. This game of battleship was all a distraction," Ace proclaimed, "Hey, Rev. Can you give me a read on them Nordic nut jobs?"

Rev did not respond to Ace's request verbally. Instead, he chose the physical form of expression. His eyes glowed red as his internal GPS locator began to work on locating the mutant Vikings. When he did, he used the triangle on his uniform to project their location to the other Loonatics.

"They're heading for the Planetary Power Grid!" Lexi cried in horror.

"That must have been what Zadavia was trying to tell us!" Ace realised.

"Not to alarm everybody. But if they freeze the city's power core…," Tech began.

"Everybody's going to have one bad case of frostbite," Brylee finished Tech's train of thought with a slight drawl.


As the team was coming to the realisation of the Viking's true motives, Gunnar was leading his remaining Vikings towards the Planetary Power Grid. With ease, Gunnar stepped on the security gate designed to block access to the grid.

"The power core is ours! Our mission cannot fail!" Gunnar decreed as he used the powers in his sword to blast the doors.

With the door down, Gunnar and his Viking army marched into the building. Standing in the centre of the room was the core that powered the whole city. Their target.

"Let the ice age begin," Gunnar sneered, "Set your weapons on maximum freezing!"

The Vikings slammed their weapons to the ground. Very much like it did during Gunnar's encounter with Ace, the ice began crawling across the ground, freezing everything in its path. It then began climbing up the powerful structure.

Not even something as powerful as the power core could withstand the ice.


Around her, Brylee noticed that everything was going dark. Looking ahead, she saw the tower, something that usually was a bright beacon from a distance, was as pitch black as the rest of the city below her.

"They got the core!" Brylee called to her brother.

"We have a certain amount of time before the damage becomes irreversible," Tech pointed out, "If we can unfreeze the core in time, we can save the city."

Brylee decided she could believe Tech. In their short time together as a team, they have come up against worse and they've managed to save the city before. She was more than certain that they could do it again.


The Vikings were continuing to freeze the power core that was still fighting. However, the core wasn't powerful enough to sustain the city.

"Eh, what's up, hornheads?"

When they heard the voice, the Vikings turned to the entrance in alarm.

The Loonatics were standing there, ready to fight them to save the city. They had thought that their plan to lead the Loonatics away from the city would work.

They were beginning to realize that they had underestimated their foes greatly.

"FREEZE THEM!" Gunnar roared.

"You've picked the wrong planet to invade, pally!" Ace decreed.

And with those words said, the battle had begun.

Ace leaped up and flipped over one of the Vikings that were charging at him. Smirking he turned around with his laser vision activated.

"Come on, you overgrown trashcan. Show me what you got," Lexi challenged.

The Viking seemed to accept the challenge and approached the young bunny. Lexi had anticipated this move. After all, these Vikings enjoyed a good challenge. But they certainly didn't enjoy a quick defeat. That was what happened to this particular Viking. All it took for Lexi to defeat him was a single brain blast to the chest.

Some people would say that two against one would be an unfair fight. Particularly if the team of two was significantly larger and stronger than their single opponent; like what was happening in the case of Duck and two Vikings. But Duck had an advantage of his own.

After pretending to cower away from them in fear, he teleported out of sight. Immediately, the two Vikings began looking around for the mallard. That is, until Duck appeared on top of the power core and knocked one of the Vikings down. When Duck looked behind him, he saw one of the Vikings about to fire his weapon at him. Knowing what was about to happen, Duck teleported away and the Viking he originally knocked down was frozen in his place.

"Come on, come on! How hard is it to deep fry a duck?!" Duck tormented as he threw eggs in the faces of two Vikings who were approaching him.

Blind, the two Vikings continued to run forward with their hands out, aiming to grab Duck. What they didn't know was that Duck had once again moved out of the way and they did not find out until they collided with one another.

Brylee and Tech were looking around, ready to attack a Viking that charged at them. They stopped walking backwards when they collided with each other.

"Hey, Tech. You have a way to turn the tables in our favor?" Brylee asked.

Normally, some people would have a problem with what Brylee was doing. Some people would say that Brylee was usurping the leadership from her brother. However, there were times where it amounted to something good. Besides, Ace was busy battling another Viking.

"I'll reprogram them! Just keep them busy!" Tech instructed.

"With pleasure," Brylee smirked.

Two Vikings approached them at that moment and went to strike at them. Brylee and Tech had quicker reflexes and managed to dodge the attack from the axe and hammer. Brylee used her beams to blast one of the Vikings; specifically towards its head. She used enough force to knock the Viking's head from its body, but not enough to damage the head. Tech grabbed the head and immediately went to a place where he could work.

"Bro!" Brylee called as she landed next to her brother, "We need to keep them busy! Tech's got a plan!"

Ace nodded and called to the other Loonatics, "Get them to use their freezing powers!"

Lexi was the first to catch on to the plan and taunted the Vikings as they repeatedly attempted to freeze her with their weapons, "Nope! Sorry! No dice! Your turn, Slam!"

Slam smirked, eager to get some action, and aimed his garbled speech at Gunnar.

Gunnar immediately understood what Slam said, and he was insulted, "You dare?!"

Slam activated his tornado powers and charged at the techno-Viking Chieftain. Roaring, the two charged at each other, eager for the confrontation to come. There was a bright flash as the two opposing elements collided. Slam's fire met Gunnar's ice. Unfortunately for Slam, Gunnar's powers were much stronger and he soon found himself beginning to feel overwhelmed by his enemy. Before long, Slam was knocked into a wall.

Another Viking decided to try and attack one of the Loonatics. He decided that his target shall be Lexi and that he will do it by doing the less noble option: attacking from behind. Lexi heard him coming and managed to dodge the attack.

"Tech, in position!" Ace called to the resident inventor as he was surrounded by a group of Vikings, "Please tell me you're almost ready!"

Tech didn't even lift up from his work of reprogramming the Viking's head as he answered, "You can't rush genius."

"No. But you can give it a swift kick in the can," Ace retorted as he began attacking the Vikings, "One Viking bites the ice! And another!"

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU, BUNNY!" Gunnar roared.

Gunnar aimed his weapon at Ace and fired, hoping to freeze the bunny again. Ace anticipated the attack and dodged, forcing the ice to freeze the ground instead.

"Bry, would you like to do the honours?" Ace smirked.

"Don't mind if I do," Brylee responded with a smirk.

Consuming her whole body in a beam, Brylee lifted herself up and charged at Gunnar feet first like a missile aimed for an enemy aircraft. The beam dissolved right at the sound of the impact to the centre of Gunnar's chest, charging into him.

"GOT IT, ACE!" Tech called over Gunnar's screams as he connected the head to the power point.

Mere seconds after Tech said those words, Gunnar collided with the power core. The resulting electrical shock was hurtled towards the nearest suitable circuit: Tech holding the Viking head connected to the control system for the power grid. Tech grimaced as he knew what was coming next was going to be painful.

Tech's cries of pain filled the room as his body and the Viking head was consumed by the electrical charge. The Viking helmet worked as a conduit feeding the electricity to various other points, including the remaining Vikings. Their energies immediately struck the conduits for the power core, shattering the ice that encased it and recharging it. Before long, all the conduits were recharged and the power core returned to life. Consequently, the blackout around the city ended.

"WE DID IT! IT WOIKED!" Ace cheered.

"The energy from the Vikings has recharged the power core!" Lexi said happily as she knelt beside Brylee, who had fallen to the ground after pushing Gunnar into the power core.

Everyone in the room was happy about the success of the mission…

Well, almost.

"Aw, Tech! I was just about to let them have it!" Duck moaned.

"Talk about taking one for the team," Tech grumbled.

Duck looked around, trying to figure out where Tech was. Then he saw the Viking helmet he had used to repower the power core lying on the ground. When he lifted the helmet, he saw that the electrical charge had turned Tech into a smouldering pile of ash.

"Tech?" Duck said in surprise, causing the coyote to whimper in response.


A few hours later, everything was back to normal at the Loonatics' headquarters. Ace was once again meditating with his sword in his hand. Lexi decided to jump into the beanbag that was next to Brylee and help her with her history homework when she noticed the youngest Loonatic was struggling slightly. Duck was, once again, in front of the mirror posing and trying to come up with a new name,

"Thunder Duck. Dazzling Duck. Dancing Duck. Super Duper Duck."

Tech meanwhile, had unfinished business with a pepperoni pizza he ordered. He placed one of his devices in the middle of the pizza and watched as it sliced the pizza pie into eight even slices. The device then lifted one of the slices out of the box and offered it to its inventor. Tech happily accepted the slice and began munching on it. He did love pepperoni pizza.

Apparently, so did someone else in the team.

"Pizza…"

The rumbling could be heard around the room as Slam came charging in, eager for a slice of pizza. All Tech had to do was point as Slam and his device charged at the Tasmanian Devil. To Slam's surprise, the device clamped itself around his mouth. He pouted, realizing that he would not be able to eat some of Tech's pizza.

"Uh-uh-uh, Slam," Tech chided, causing Slam to growl at the coyote.

The dilemma was forgotten momentarily when they heard the familiar buzzing. Everybody gathered around the projector in front of the television when Zadavia appeared before them.

"Loonatics, I just had to personally say to each and everyone of you job well done. The Ice Age is averted, the mutant techno-Vikings destroyed and Acmetropolis is safe," Zadavia decreed, "Thanks to you, Ace, Rev, Lexi, Brylee, Slam, Tech…"

Duck stood there, waiting for his name to be called by Zadavia in her praise. To his surprise – and disappointment – it never came.

"Good work, team. Zadavia out," Zadavia ended the call before disappearing.

"That's it? How could she forget me? I was standing right here!" Duck cried.

"Don't worry about it, Duck! You were fantastic!" Lexi praised.

"Oh yeah. Heroic," Ace nodded in agreement, although the joking tone was in his voice.

Duck scrawled and marched past his teammates, muttering, "Nobody disrespects this Duck."

"Yes?" Zadavia said once Duck activated the hologram again, knowing what was coming.

"Hello, Miss Zadavia. Duck here. I was wondering… Didn't you forget something?" Duck asked with a smirk.

"Oh yes. I suppose I did," Zadavia nodded before making the smug look on Duck's face disappear, "No more memos about changing your name. Danger Duck is self-explanatory and easy to remember. Request denied."

Brylee had to snicker at the exchange. She loved it whenever Zadavia shattered Duck's delusion of grandeur. In fact, she loved it when anything shattered his delusion of grandeur. If there was one thing the mallard needed, it was lessons in humility.

"Brylee," Zadavia began, successfully earning the teenager's attention, "Encasing yourself to battle Gunnar the Conqueror was a wise choice. However, if you wish to try and fly, I would wait for more stability that can obtained through practice. But keep up the good work."

"Thanks, Zadavia," Brylee nodded before the communication disconnected and the teenager noticed Duck scrawling next to her, "Well, look at the bright side, Duck. It's better than what she called you when we first got together."

"Fine," Duck sighed, "Danger Duck. I can live with that."

"Good! Because we like it too!" Ace decreed.


Meh. But you know, I'm just starting out doing this sort of thing again. I'm a little rusty.

I actually have something important to say. On a few of my stories – particularly Strange Beginnings – I've noticed that some anonymous viewers have been saying some pretty mean stuff about either myself or some of the others who post a review. Some of those include suggestions that either myself or other reviewers commit suicide. This is something I cannot condone. And unfortunately, since the reviewer is anonymous, I cannot report the reviewer to the website. I can remove the reviews. I cannot stop the reviewer from posting whatever he or she wants. But there is another thing I can do.

I have been forced to start moderating these anonymous reviews. If I deem the content to be inappropriate, they will NOT be seen. I actually remember a time where you can disable anonymous reviews altogether. Now, don't take any offense to this. Like I said, I love a lot of them. But…WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING REMOVING THAT OPTION?!

I actually wish it was by someone who was actually using an account because it's easier to report to the website and you can actually block the account.

Sorry for that little rant there. But it was something I had to get off my chest. I was actually a victim of bullying for a really long time – including some incidents where the person bullying me was one of my teachers – and this is something I take personally.

Oh! Updates are gonna be slowing. I'm back at uni now. I would have had this up sooner. But I couldn't get it to upload using Safari for some reason. Thank God I also downloaded Google Chrome onto my Mac.

BYE!
