Chapter 2

"Loonatics! What can I do for you?" The colourful hologram asked.

"Zadavia!" Tech said urgently. "Someone has just managed to break in! He woke Lexi and then Ace."

"Hm… this is troublesome." Zadavia replied.

"And that's not the half of it;" Tech continued. "He… He took Ace."

Zadavia stared at them for a moment before replying. "Took Ace?"

Tech nodded. "Yeah. We were wondering if you help us find out where he took him."

Zadavia thought for a moment. "If I had a description, I'm sure I could find something."

"Well, we didn't really see much of him." Lexi said, standing before the hologram. "He just wore a black cloak and kept his face hidden with the hood."

"Not much of a description at all. Was he tall? Short?" Zadavia asked.

"He was quite tall." Lexi replied. "And he had a weird glove that glowed blue… He used it to overpower Ace." She added quietly.

"How?" Zadavia asked.

Lexi looked up. "I'm not sure. He just took hold of his wrist and the glove started to glow. It brought Ace to his knees before he lost consciousness."

"A glove that makes the opponent loose consciousness upon contact… Fascinating. I'll get right on it."

"Thanks." Tech said with a small smile.

"Zadavia out."

"So, what now?" Duck asked, breaking the silence.

Tech stood leaning on the table, thinking. "I suppose we wait."

"I want to know how he got in." Lexi said.

Tech looked up with a nod. "Right. Then why don't we try to figure that out." The others nodded. "Slam, Rev, you too see what you can find on the street and the side of the tower, he might have scaled the building." Rev and Slam nodded and left to do their task. "Duck, why don't you take a look around in here?" Duck frowned at the task, but obliged none the less.

Turning to Lexi, Tech spoke again. "And we can take a look around the hallway, maybe that guy left something by mistake." Lexi nodded and followed the coyote out into the hall.

------------

All he could feel was pain. Extreme amounts of pain, coursing through his entire body.

He held his eyes tightly shut and his teeth were clamped together. He could move and when the pain finally stopped, all he could hear was his own laboured breathing.

A rough hand grabbed the fur on the back of his head jerking it upward. "Had enough, Rabbit?" Sneered the cruel voice of his captor.

Ace only groaned in response. This only made the man snigger evilly; he wanted to break this bunny, and he was getting close, so very, very close.

With another evil laugh, the man pulled the leaver down hard, and once again, Aces screams of pain filled the empty building.

------------

"Loonatics!" Zadavia's voice called out loudly, getting everyone's attention.

"What is it, Zadavia?" Tech asked standing at the table, as the other gathered.

"I have news on Ace's captor." Zadavia replied and everyone focused their attention on the hologram in the centre of the table, listening intently to what she was saying.

"His name is Telko. He use to work at the University of Technology just outside Acmetropolis, but was fired after having made a very dangerous ray-gun."

"Well," Duck said slowly. "That tells us about him but it doesn't really tell us much of why he took Ace."

"I have information on that as well, Duck." Zadavia said pointedly. Duck fell silent and she continued. "A few months ago, I believe you fought with a young man called Tseng, who had broken into the museum of ancient jewelry and pottery. He had tried to steal a very valuable red ruby, which he claimed his father needed."

Tech looked up as if he knew what was coming next. "This guy, Telko, he was Tseng's father." He finished and Zadavia nodded.

"Did you find a location for him?" Lexi asked.

Zadavia nodded again. "Yes. I was able to track his movements with Ace to the south Acmetropolis docking bay; it's not been in use for years, so it would be the best place to hide, I suppose."

Tech nodded. "Right, we're on it."

"Another thing, Loonatics," Zadavia said. "The glove Telko used, he made it while at the University. It seems it is also capable of sucking out people's energy as well as powers. However, its effects wear off after a few hours." The team registered what this could mean and nodded in understanding. "Good luck, Loonatics. Zadavia out."

"Right." Tech said, turning to the rest of the team. "Let's get down to those docks and quick. If Ace is really there, we'll probably have a good chance at getting him back if we go now."

"Yeah. And hopefully his powers will be back too." Lexi added with a nod.

"What-are-we-waiting-for?" Rev said, as he zoomed out of the living area to get the teams jet packs.

He was back within two seconds and the team got ready to save their kidnapped leader.

------------

Within half an hour, the remaining Loonatics were flying low as they entered the old Acmetropolis docking bay.

As they came into land, Lexi listened intently for any signs of life in or outside the building that they stood before.

"Anyone home?" Tech asked, watching the building closely.

Lexi nodded. "Yeah." She said quietly. "And I think he's alone." She added as the team approached.

------------

Ace could see the bright light of the florescent lights that hung high above him. He tried hard to concentrate on them so as to block out the pain that stung his whole body but was unsuccessful as a dark shadow obscured his vision.

"Well, it looks like the rabbit's awake." Sneered the oh-so familiar voice of Telko, the man who was responsible for his pain.

Ace couldn't even master the energy to growl let alone actually speak, so he settled for a glare.

The man above him was about to speak again, but he stopped and turned his attention to the large sliding door that was opposite the computer.

"It seems we have visitors." Telko said quietly, leaving the bunny and walking towards the doors.

As he approached the doors, Telko paused as a deep groan came from the doors sliding track. However, before he could do anything, the metallic door was consumed by a swirling green glow before being pulled clean off the track. A small crash was heard as the door hit the ground and dust filled the doorway.

When the dust cleared, Telko found himself staring into the angry face of Tech, whose eyes were still glowing green.

Telko scoffed. "One Loonatic?" He said with a laugh but stopped abruptly as Lexi, Rev, Duck and Slam stepped into view of the doorway.

"Come to save your pathetic leader, have you?" Telko said with a smirk.

"Don't you dare call him pathetic!" Lexi growled dangerously, her eyes glowing pink.

Telko merely smirked wider as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black control and pressed the red button. Immediately, the double doors at the other end of the room burst open, and in ran a large group of what appeared to be robot soldiers.

"Loonatics!" Tech said, taking command. "Go get 'em!"

All at once, Rev, Duck and Slam charged at the robot army that now stood before them.

Tech then turned to Lexi. "You get Ace out of here, we'll hold them off." He said, turning back to the fight. Lexi nodded and swiftly crept around the fighting Loonatics and robots towards Ace, who was still strapped to the metal table in the middle of the large room.

"Ace!" She said as she took in his appearance; he had been taking during the night so he was still in his yellow and black PJs. The top was ripped open, showing his bare chest and the bottoms where ripped partly on the legs.

The metal straps holding his limbs in place, were pretty tight and Lexi had to hold in a gasp as she saw the raw red marks on the yellow rabbit's wrist and ankles. Her eyes began to glow again as she focused on the each metal strap and shot a series of brain blasts at each one, releasing her teammate.

"Ace!" she said again as she tried to get him to sit up. Suddenly, the sound of a gun reached her sensitive ears and she turned to see Telko pointing a strange looking gun at her.

Telko Smirked. "Why don't you put the rabbit down?" He asked, not lowering his weapon.

"I'm not letting you have Ace again!" Lexi shouted at him. She could feel herself beginning to power-up.

Telko's smirk slowly faded. "Then you've just sealed your fate as well as his." He said and pulled the trigger.

------------

Tech turned just as another robot came up behind him. It raised it heavy metal fist and brought it down hard. However, Tech was too fast and was able to jump out the way quickly.

He landed lightly on the cold floor, just in time to block another attack from the same robot. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Lexi; she had snuck round the fight easily and was now making her way towards Ace, who appeared to be unconscious, on the metal table he was strapped to.

Good, Tech thought. She should be able to get Ace out of here without any problems… Hang on, what's he up to…? Techs eyes widened as they fell on the man who had started it all; he was holding some kind of ray gun and was walking towards Lexi. NO! Tech was about to run to help but he was blocked by the robot. "Lexi!" He shouted but the robot cut him short by bring its metal first to his stomach.

Shutting his eyes tight, Tech didn't see what happened. He could still hear it though. The fight echoed all around him then Lexi; she was saying something but he couldn't quite make out what it was. And then an explosion. The gun! His eyes snapped open just in time to see a huge laser blast.

LEXI…!
