Chapter 1
Acmetropolis: a futuristic city in 2772 where humans and Anthropoids lived together in harmony. But one day, a meteor from space strikes Acmetropolis and knocks it completely off of its original axis. However, instead of destroying the planet, the impact of the meteor and its resultant shockwave gives off supernatural cosmic energies that give some inhabitants superpowers while incapacitating others in its wake. Among them are five special Anthros who were given superpowers to combat evil and call themselves "The Loonatics".
Ace Bunny is the adroit and quick-witted, action-driven leader who galvanizes his crew for each mission. His main weapon of choice is a collapsible sword. His power is laser vision that shoots out lasers from his eyes.
Lexi Bunny is the Second-in-Command and cousin of Ace. She possesed tremendous aerial agility and the ability to shoot "brain blasts" from the top of her head with some form of telekinesis.
Rev Runner is the speedster of the team and does everything fast, even the way he speaks is fast. His powers include Sonic Speed, with the ability to run at a velocity of 9983.03, Flight and a built-in mental Global Positioning.
Tech E. Coyote is the super smart genius inventor of the team. He acts as the team's source of various crime fighting gadgets and vehicles, typically as the situation requires. The meteor's energy gifted him with magnetic manipulation powers as well as the ability to regenerate his body after being disintegrated or suffering injury.
Lastly, we have Slam Tasmanian: the group's muscle-bound heavyweight, thanks to his Superhuman Strength. His powers allows him to either shoot out tornadoes or spin so fast that he became a tornado.
That should be all of the members... Wait, I think I'm missing someone. Oh yes, we have one last member to introduce.
And he is... Danger Duck: the spotlight hungry, egoistical member of the Loonatics. He boasts teleportation powers (called a "quantum quack" but simply called "Quacking" by Duck himself) and the ability to toss magical energy spheres (often referred to as "Eggs") that can either usually expose or materialize other things upon explosion. This effect has ranged from creating orange juice, to tar, to large boulders, to simply explosive eggs.
Now that is done, let's get on with our story, shall we?
In the Far East of the city stood the famous Acmetropolis Music Company, a place where many music were produced and loved by every one in Acmetropolis, even Lexi Bunny. And this is where we'll meet our heroine of this story.
"If I told you once, I told you a thousand times! I WANT MY LATTE HOT!" a man in his early twenties shouted across his office at the attendant boy who had apparently delivered an already cooled down latte drink to him.
No, he's not the hero. I did mention "Heroine", did I?
"I-I'm sorry, sir! But the cafe you told me to go to is a mile away from here and-" the attendant was cut off.
"That is no excuse! I'm demoting you back to props duty! Now beat it!" he then dismissed the boy as he sat back down in his chair and pressed a button on his phone. "Trinity, in my office now!"
Two minutes later, a ligeress with white and blue streaked hair came running into the office. There's our heroine now.
"Yes, sir. Did you call, sir?" the Anthro asked.
"Ah, Trinity, my dear. I want you to go downtown and get me my latte." the director said.
"The usual hot chocolate mocha latte, right? On it!" the ligeress saluted before running out of the office, barely listening to the whispers in the office.
"Geez, Mr. Mark sure likes Trinity a lot." one whispered.
"Well, she is the fastest in getting the boss his latte without cooling it." another replied.
"I wonder how she does it. I mean, the cafe is almost a mile away from here."
Trinity sighed as she stopped in a secluded spot and faced the wall before placing her hand on her shadow and closing her eyes. When she opened her ruby-red eyes, she found herself in an alleyway. She checked if the coast is clear before emerging from the dark portal she had came through and walked towards the cafe across her.
As she entered the cafe, she was greeted by her best friend since middle school, Penelope Skylark the Roadrunner, much like one of the Loonatics, Rev Runner but her neck was smaller than his and her head was a bit bigger and rounder. She's about the same height as her and Lexi Bunny and has a brown ruffled spiked bang in the front sticking up but bending down. She had her crested hair in a ponytail, it spiked down in the color indigo. Her tail feathers spiked down also and in indigo too. Her beak was a pale-yellow. She also had large browns eyes, with long lashes.
"Hey, Tri!" Penelope chirped as she saw the feline walking in before zooming out from behind the counter to hug her. "It's so good to see you again."
But unlike Rev, Penelope talks normal instead of talking in hyper speed.
"It's good to see you too, Penelope." the feline Anthro giggled before walking to the counter where the fowl zoomed back in.
"The usual for your boss man?" Trinity nodded and Penelope quickly got to work while the feline looked around the cafe. It then came to her surprise to find the Loonatics hanging in the same cafe as well.
The crimefighting team was her all-time favorite superheroes, especially Ace. She blushed a tint of pink when she saw him smiling and teasing the duck of the team but was snapped out of her daydream when Penelope returned with the drink.
"Thanks, P. See you this weekend!" the feline waved and was about to walk out when Duck appeared in front of her.
"Hey, doll. I was seeing how you've been checking me out just then. And I know you thought how handsome I am, huh?" the duck boasted as Trinity blushed in embarassment but to Duck, he thought it was because she had been busted for catching this ducky eye-candy. The rest of the team had walked over as they shook their heads at Duck's antics. Sometimes he can get so full of himself.
"I-I'm sorry b-but you've mistaken. I-I wasn't-" Trinity stuttered but was cut off when Duck stopped her.
"Say no more, my feline chickity. I would be glad to accept your confession of your love for me but I have my eyes on someone else. It is a shame to break a feline beauty's heart such as yourself." Duck dramatically said.
"Can it, Casanova!" Lexi chastised the bird before turning to the feline anthro. "Sorry about him. He's always like that."
"I can live with that. Besides, I've heard about Danger Duck's... weird behavior so I was expecting something else but that was new." Trinity replied. "I'm Trinity Pride. You must be the Loonatics, right? It's so cool to actually meet you guys face to face. I've always loved your crimefighting adventures."
"Why, thank you, Trinity." Lexi thanked.
Trinity then checked her watch, "I better go. My boss is waiting for his latte and he can get a little cranky if it turns cold."
"We can take you there but where do you work?" Ace asked in his brookyln accent. (I cannot get his accent right so just imagine it.)
"I worked in the Acmetropolis Music Company."
"Isn't-that-on-the-far-east-of-the-city?" Rev said, which trinity nodded.
"I know that place! That's where all the cool music are produced, right? I just love all of their music, especially Melanie Fox! She's a real canine when it comes to pop music!" Lexi squealed.
"I happen to be Miss. Fox's attendant." Trinity said, causing Lexi to go starry-eyed.
"Seriously? No way, I am so jealous! You've got to help me get her autograph!" the bunny was literally bouncing up and down like a kid on sugar rush.
"Well, how about this?" Trinity then opened her leather bag and took out a poster which showed a literally foxy Anthro with wavy burgundy hair and icy-blue eyes in a low V-cut glitter dress. Below the poster is a neat signature of none other than Melanie herself. "Miss. Fox gave these to me so she won't have to bother with giving signatures as she work."
Lexi squealed again as she gratefully accept the poster.
"Tri, you've got 5 minutes left!" Penelope shouted as she pointed to the clock.
"Oh no! I have to get going or Mr. Mark is going to hang my fur on his wall!" Trinity exclaimed as she rushed out of the cafe with Duck and the gang on her tail.
"Hey, wait! Don't you want my autograph!" Duck shouted.
"Why is she going to the west? I though the company is on the opposite way?" Tech questioned.
"Don't know." Ace replied as Duck chased the feline to an alleyway where she mysteriously disappeared. "Someone sure know how to do a disappearing act. Where she go?"
Slam grunted which sounded like "I don't know."
"Loonatics!" a voice spoke and the team headed to a broken billboard whose screen showed a woman who had blonde hair that reached her shoulders, a fair complexion, nice red lips, but her eyes appeared white, and she wore some type of purple suit.
"Hey, Zadavia. What's up?"
"What's up is right. I have detected an unknown spacecraft heading towards Acmetropolis from the sky."
"Spacecraft? Has E.T returned from home?" Duck joked.
"That's what you need to find out, Loonatics. Find out what is their business here. Zadavia Out." the screen then turned blank.
"Alright, gang!" Ace said. "You heard the lady. Let's jet!"
Trinity sighed as she trudged down her neighbourhood after a long day's work. "At least Mr. Mark didn't skin me alive since I got his hot latte and Miss. Fox didn't snapped at me for not bringing her favorite 'My Thing' magazine since she's so busy with her 'hubby-puppy'." She shuddered as she remembered how the fox Anthro was making kissy noises to her phone. "Ugh, now that is mushy."
The ligeress realized the setting sun and quickly touched a nearby shadow before slipping in. The next thing she know, she was back at her room. Throwing her leather bag on her bed, she quickly fixed dinner, showered and turned on the TV, just in time for the news where a reporter is talking about the recent heroic adventure of the Loonatics. Seems the spacecraft was a space cruise liner for the people of the Zanava Galaxy and had lost control as it plummet towards the city but was stopped by the Loonatics and the cruise liner was back on course home.
Trinity sighed as the camera zoomed in on all of the team members but she mostly centered her eyes on Ace.
"I wonder how life would be if I was with them? Fighting bad guys everyday. Kicking their butts. How I wish I could be like them." she muttered but shook her head out of that daydream. "That's ridiculous. Me? Fight scary bad guys with the Loonatics? Like that'll ever happen." She shut the TV down before heading to bed. But before she even closed her eyes, Zadavia appeared in her room in a bright light before it died down.
"Hello, Trinity Pride."
"H-How did you know my name?" Trinity asked, surprised at her sudden appearance.
"I've known all about you, where you work and how life had been treating you before you gained your powers."
"Wait, you know about my powers?"
"Yes. I have been searching for potential members for the Loonatics since I sensed greater danger in the near future and currently, the team is not ready to face it yet."
"W-Wait, are you saying you want me to join the Loonatics?" Trinity asked in a disbelief tone.
"You're catching on pretty fast."
"B-But I-I can't! I-I'm too meek and I get scared easily! There's no way the team would want me to join! Aren't there other more promising candidates for that spot?"
"There aren't any. You and the Loonatics are the only few who has them. There was one other but she has not awaken to her powers yet so it's too risky for her to join." Zadavia reasoned. Trinity calmed down and thought it over.
"But if I join, what about my job? I need to tell Mr. Mark that I'm quiting and Miss. Fox too!"
"I have already arrange that for you but only if you accept for offer, Trinity."
"Well, since you put it that way... Alright, I'll do it! Besides, it might help with my meekness. I mean, I am a Pride after all!"
