Chapter 2
Slowly the jet lifted up, almost hesitant as it left the HQ behind. Duck sat at the pilot's seat, shifting uncomfortably around. 'Great the first time I'm leading, I'd rather be at the back' he thought in disbelief, surprised at his actions. Duck glanced out of the corner of his eye, making sure everyone was ok. 'Look at Ace, the poor guy… why'd Lexi go and ruin him' he thought angrily 'wait! What I'd just think? It's not her fault… she did it to save him and all of us' suddenly his mind flicked back, to the time they were fighting Aldolpho and his army…
Flashback
Duck -''Phew…that was close, Lexi you and I had better find Ace pronto, while you other guys try and stop those whales''
Lexi [grinning] – ''okay, lets go water boy''
A few minutes later
Duck [turns to Lexi] –''you heard the coyote they need us, we're a team remember…''
End of Flashback
Duck snapped out of it before moving back on course, before glancing around and looked at the chair nearest to the leaders. It was empty, Duck turned back around directing the jet to their destination 'idiot… she's not there and won't ever be' he paused, for a brief moment he could see Lexi's grin. He turned again to Ace who was staring motionlessly out of the window. 'I'll help him Lex, I promise. We were a great team.' Suddenly Duck pushed the jet faster in a surge of determination, waking up the sleepy passengers.
Tech jolted up at the speed the jet was now travelling 'blimey, he really wants to get there' Tech glanced out the window towards the tower, which was now vanishing out of their view. The coyote fidgeted in his new amour, he was still getting used to it 'I hope this plan of Duck's works.' He paused; it wasn't that he didn't trust Duck. It was just Tech never liked someone else making plans; it was his job as far as he could tell, and he was good at it. Tech sighed before leaning back in his chair, then he began to shut his eyes and relax. Until he noticed a glint, he leant forward and picked it up 'I don't believe it, it's part of Lexi's armour' he turned to glance over at the empty chair and lowered his head slightly 'it used to chip all the time didn't it' he thought smiling slightly while watching the empty chair swaying. 'We used to always have to fix it' Tech paused thinking back to the time with the Stomper
Flashback
Tech [angrily at Duck] - ''what are you talking about? I was in the lab fixing the stuff you broke''
Lexi [watching Duck and Tech] - ''and I was helping''
Duck started shifting uncomfortably around, while glancing around nervously. Tech and Lexi smile slightly at each other.
End of Flashback
Tech was smiling slightly again, before he turned around. He glanced back down at the chip of amour, then to Ace. 'Lexi, I made the amour better now. It can't be pierced now' he felt himself sadden again 'I just improved too late.' The coyote knew exactly how Ace was feeling, but couldn't understand it. 'Why Ace? I'm the one to blame… I caused it, I overlooked it believing it wouldn't ever be needed to be upgraded and I didn't even get there it time for you Lex. And now he's suffering because of my overconfidence.' The coyote dropped the bit of amour. 'I'm sorry Ace… Lexi, I even made a new armour for you in case you would come back… but your not' Tech felt a little sob escape almost as a slight whimper, just as a lonely tear formed at the corner of his eye. He turned away from Rev's curious gaze.
The roadrunner had heard a slight noise, coming from Tech's direction. But as soon as he tried to talk, Tech turned away. Rev was trying to come up with something to say, but couldn't find anything to say 'think, think, think. There's gotta be something. Maybe I could comment on the clothes, everyone is in nice casual wear for once…' he paused 'almost everyone' as he glanced at the pink triangle, which marked the second in command's chair. Rev looked out of the window, for the first time everything seemed to slow down. 'You always tried to listen to me, didn't you Lex. It's weird now… nothing's the same. No matter what we say or the public make up. We all miss ya. We can't concentrate' he smiled sadly 'we had to move the place around, to try make it seem like you didn't exist. I would have rather took those robots on again rather than do that. It was the hardest mission for all of us' Rev looked around at the silence from his team mates 'we failed that mission Lex, well I know I miss ya. I've got no one to beat at video games…' Rev chuckled as he remembered when he got himself and Lexi into trouble.
Flashback
Rev [to Tech] – ''absolutely-positively-you-can-trust-me-because-I'm-a-bird-of-honour-and-see-no-hands-on-stuff-hehe-course-i-never-said-anything-about-my-beak''
Tech leaves his lab, Rev goes over and starts tapping with his beak on one of the many computers, a screen comes up with figures etc. on
Rev [happily to himself] – ''whoa! There-it-is''
A large console like machine unfolds and two touch screens appear over the top.
Rev walks over excited
Rev – ''whoa-totally-sweet-sweet-sweet-a-video-game''
Lexi walks past, hears Rev say about the 'video game' and turns towards him
Lexi [excited] – ''did someone say video game?''
Both start 'playing' on the screens and laughing
A little later, Tech walks in horrified. Lexi and Rev are still smiling as Lexi appears to have 'won'
Tech – ''Whoa! What have you done?''
Lexi [happily] – ''well for one thing, high score!''
Tech [nervous] – ''that's no game, that's my new X3000 automated weapons system''
Lexi [now nervous and worried turns around to face Tech] – ''uh oh… that was a real target and missiles''
Rev [while rubbing back of neck nervously looks at Lexi] – ''I-wouldn't-worry-there-are-millions-of-uninhabitable-planets-and-asteriods-out-there-i-mean-what-are-the-odds-of-hitting-something-that-had-someone-living-on-it-huh!''
Later, Melvin is demanding that the Loonatics surrender or he will destroy the planet.
Melvin [suddenly becoming nicer winks at Lexi] – ''by the way, nice missile targeting''
Lexi [grins] – ''thanks'' realises what she said and shakes her hands ''I mean it was an accident''
Rev [goes over to Lexi and puts his arm around her] – ''yeah-i-mean-we-thought-we-were-playing-a-game-but-it-wasn't-a-game-it-was-real-but-of-course-you-already-knew-that-or-you-sorta-knew-that-or-if-you-didn't-know-that-you-do-know-that-now-hehe-you-know''
Rev and Lexi grin innocently at each other.
End of Flashback
Rev looked down before glancing towards Ace 'wherever you are Lex… we need ya'. Rev suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, as a larger hand was placed on his shoulder. Rev smiled slightly at the Tasmanian Devil, then noticed Slam was holding out a choccie bar to him. Rev took the a piece of the bar and smiled gratefully
''bdpohpodehbof Rev, okay?'' Slam asked
''yeah, I'm fine'' the roadrunner replied, Slam continued to wave the chocolate encouragingly. Rev turned away though, his expression sad.
Slam paused and turned away, defeated by the hesitant anthros. 'Poor guys' he thought, he missed Lexi but he knew that she wouldn't want them to be like this. Lex would want them to carry on and be the strong team she died for… 'She wouldn't if she trusted us this much and she wouldn't want this' Slam thought. Slam stood up as he unbuckled his strap, he glanced around wary of the other guys. They wouldn't like what he was going to do. Before he quickly walked over to the drawer Lexi had on the ship, and went to open it. But he couldn't it had a lock and it was a shape he'd never seen. Slam's determination faded and slowly he went to sit in his chair. Before he remembered something, quickly he looked over to the piece of amour Tech had dropped. Then before he could get to move, he heard a noise coming from outside the plane. Slowly the Tasmanian turned, he saw the clouds moving… changing shape, Lexi looked back at him. Confused he stared at her
''go for it'' she said smiling before she faded back into the clouds. Quickly he unbuckled his strap and grabbed the piece. His movements attracting the attention of Rev and Tech,
''Slam, put that down its rubbish'' Tech said sympathetically towards the Tasmanian devil. But to his surprise Slam growled slightly before running to the draw again. Ace now turned.
''Slam, leave it alone… now!'' Ace said angrily beginning to get out of his chair. Slam ignored his protests and carried on, for the first time disobeying his leader's orders. 'No, I'm doing it for Lex' Slam thought
''Slam… you can't get in there. She told us there wasn't a ke-'' the click from the drawer made everyone go quiet. The lid flicked up and a hologram picture flicked on, Slam pressed on of the buttons maximising it. An image of the team flicked on, all of them were standing together. Close and strong. The picture was from when they got their promotions from Zadavia and the mayor. Suddenly small writing appeared at the bottom, but it was too small to read
''Tech can you zoom in on that'' Ace asked urgently as he snapped himself from the Lexi in the image. Tech in response, got out of his seat and pressed a couple of buttons. Duck switched the jet to auto pilot and came over. The words made them all go quiet; a single tear slipped from each of the anthros eyes as they read it. Written by Lexi and added to the image.
'my favourite picture of my friends and my new family. We are unbeatable and inseparable.'
The jet slowly began to lower down into a small field next just outside of Acmetropolis. It was close to the park but not one of the anthros noticed, until the engine switched off. It turned the hologram off.
No one moved for a few minutes, they were trying to absorb the message. Duck snapped out of it first, before lowering the door turning back around.
''well, we're here and remember what we came here for'' the other anthros nodded before grabbing a few items. Ace turned back around and sighed, glancing at where the hologram was. 'Well, better see where Duck has brought us' Ace slowly turned back towards the door, took a breath and stepped out.
''wow''
There you go Chapter 2, I've just noticed it' my longest chapter so far… blimey…
