Chapter Six: "Mission: Crash-Landing"
Date: Year 2752 Location: Acme Australia
"Slam..... No cookies before supper!" A female tasmanian turned around to face her three-year old son, who was attempting to climb unto the counter. She quickly picked him up and set him back down on the ground.
"I'm home." A male voice rang through the house. Slam jumped up in joy. "Daddy!"
The man scooped little Slam up and hugged him. "Hey Slam!"
Little Slam giggled excitedly as his father set him down. The man, known as Stephen, turned to his wife, Samantha. "Honey, I need to talk to you, alone..." And so the pair walked into the living room.
Slam watched them in confusion and tried to follow them. His short, three year old legs could only take a half a dozen steps before toppling over. However, he eventually made it to the living room, where he saw his mother crying. He wobbled over to her and hugged her leg.
Samantha sniffled and tried to smile at her son as she picked him up. She stroked his small patch of fuzzy hair thoughtfully. "What are we gonna do now? You've been through so many jobs I don't know if anyone else will hire you........."
The older mal tasmanian devil smiled. "Thankfully we saved a lot of my paychecks..."
"But that won't last forever!"
"Right, which is why we're moving."
"Moving? But, where?"
"A place I've heard of called Acmetropolis. Apparently there are alot of companies willing to hire anyone with experience..."
Samantha smiled. "And you certainly have a lot of experience!"
"Then it's official! We move to Acmetropolis as soon as we can!"
Slam did not understand what was happening, but he could tell his parents were happy, so he cheered and clapped his hands.
.PURPLE TRIANGLE.
A few weeks later, Slam and his parents were seated in a large plane headed for Acmetropolis. Samantha held Slam in her arms tightly. Little Slam, tired from the hustle and fuss over packing and moving, fell asleep very soon.
Meanwhile, in the cargo hold, a wormwhole-like portal appeared. Rev jumped out, holding in his hands one of Tech's net cannons. After a few seconds, older, bigger Slam jumped out too. The plane jiggled a bit in reaction. Slam chuckled innocently. "Oopsie"
"I'd say so." The pair turned around to see Sypher standing nearby. "Came to watch the show?"
Rev aimed the net cannon at Sypher and fired. The glowing net landed on top of the villain, trapping him.
Rev and Slam high-foured and walked up to Sypher. "Grabulah easy!"
"You got that right, Slam-oh-buddy!" Rev cheered. "These guys are getting too easy to catch!"
Suddenly, Sypher quickly reached out and grabbed Rev's leg, rapidly draining the roadrunner of his powers.
"Rev!" Slam gasped, then quickly jumped, shoving Rev out of Sypher's grasp.
Rev wobbled, holding his head. "Whoah.... kinda eating too much ice cream too fast...." He mumbled, his voice slower than usual.
Slam tried to tackle Sypher and pin him down, but the villain had already freed himself of the net and had taken off towards the small escape hatch that led to the main part of the ship. Slam lept after him and finally managed to grab Sypher's legs, tripping him. Sypher kicked at Slam, trying to free himself, but the tasmanian devil would not let go. Finally Sypher swiftly kicked Slam's nose square on. Slam grunted in pain and accidently let go, falling backwards a few feet.
Sypher grinned evily and quickly opened the hatch, jumping into the plane. Most of the people screamed, pointing at him in confusion and terror. Little Slam woke up from his nap and stared at the stranger in fear. His mother held him tightly.
The stewards try to stop Sypher, but, having Rev's powers, the villain zipped away before anyone could touch him. Sypher headed for the captain's cockpit.
"This is Captain Pipe to Ground Control....." But the captain's message was cut off when two thick hands covered his mouth and dragged him backwards. The co-pilot panicked, seeing Sypher, and grabbed for the radio, attempting to call a mayday. After tying up the pilot, Sypher did the same to the co-pilot.
He then sat down in the pilot's seat. He turned to the tied-up and gagged pilot and co-pilot. "So, how do you fly this thing?" All he got was muffled shouts. He shrugged. "Oh wek, I have a pretty good idea how to crash it!"
"You'll have to get through us first!"
Sypher turned around to see Rev and Slam standing in the doorway. "Pests!" He shouted before lunging at the pair. He had Rev pinned tightly to the ground. Slam grabbed Sypher roughly in one of his wrestling moves, then slammed him to the ground. Rev quickly jumped up, reaching for Sypher arm to get his powers back.
Sypher smirked. They weren't gonna get him yet. He used his legs to free himself, by lifting his rear so his feet touched the floor flat. Then harnessing Rev's powers one last time, he literally ran through Slam's grip and through the cockpit door. Sypher then slammed the door to the cockpit and swiftly kicked the doorknob, jamming it.
Seeing they were trapped, Rev and Slam freed the pilot and co-pilot. The pilot coughed once before shouting. "He turned the auto-pilot off! The plane will crash soon if we don't restore it!"
Slam helped the men to their feet. They quickly jumped to their seats and grabbed the controls, trying to stop the plane's now downward course.
Meanwhile, Sypher had stopped his escape long enough to search the passenger's bags for valuable items. That is, after tying up the steward and stewardesses, who had tried to stop him. A loud thumping noise came from the captain's cockpit. Suddenly, the door burst down as Slam came flying from the small room. Rev followed him.
Sypher lunged for the large door, trying to open it. If he managed to do so, he, Rev, Slam, and all of the passengers would be thrown around and eventually out of the plane. Slam jumped on him, tackling him to the ground. Sypher hit his head on the way down, rendering him nearly unconscious.
Rev ran up as fast as he could and grabbed the villain's arm. Finally! Rev felt his powers rushing back to him. It felt good to be himself again!
Suddenly, the plane lurched sideways, and Rev and Slam, not expecting that, were thrown across the plane. Sypher stood up wobbly and pressed a button on the wrist of his suit. The small time-portal appeared.
"Later, losers!" Sypher growled before jumping into the portal.
Rev struggled to get up, but was pinned down by Slam's large body on top of him. Slam got up carefully. "Sorry Rev." He grumbled.
"Don't worry about it buddy! At least I got my powers back let's go check on the pilot to make sure everything's okay!" With that, the two peeked into the cockpit.
"This is Ground Control to Captain Pipe, are you okay up there?"
"Roger that, Ground Control. We are okay up here!"
Rev and Slam exchanged smiles before pressing a small button on their wristwatches.
Date: Present Day (2774)
Location: Loonatics' HQ
Duck turned around in his chair as two time portals appeared behind him. Lexi and Cassidy stepped out of one, and Rev and Slam came from the other.
"How'd it go?" Duck asked.
"Villain stopped, almost captured.." Lexi admitted with a hint of sadness.
Slam nodded in agreement.
"Hey Duck where's Ace and Tech they chould be back by now unless they're stuck or hurt or they got captured but you must have heard something from them by now!" Rev rambled, slightly worried.
"That's the weird thing... I haven't heard a peep from them... The computer still shows them at Lexi's old farm."
Lexi's eyes widened. "When.. when is it"
Duck shrugged. "Christmas day...."
"What year?"
"Is something wrong, Lexi?" Cassidy asked, getting worried as well.
At first, she didn't respond. Then she shook her head slightly. "We have to go get them...."

Date: Year 2759
Location: The Bunny's Farm
"Ace! Tech!" Lexi and Cassidy called out, searching through the snow-covered forest.
"Worry warts!" Duck yelled at them as he and Slam struggled to keep up with the two girls.
"DUCK! SLAM!" Both Cassidy and Lexi suddenly screamed.
Worried, Duck and Slam ran as fast as they could through the thick snow to catch up with the girls. They froze as they came to the girls' sides.
Beside a tree was a huge mountain of snow, with an arm sticking out from it. All of the recognized the thick, green-gloved hand. To their horror they saw the tree tipping, about to crash on top of the snow pile at any second.
"Slam, get the tree! Cassidy, Duck, help me get them out!" Lexi yelled, leaping forward.
Slam rushed and grabbed the tree, easily keeping it standing.
Lexi, Duck and Cassidy quickly tried to unbury Ace and Tech, but the snow was thick and heavy, and more kept falling off of the tree.
"Wait, I have an idea.." Cassidy stood up and closed her eyes. Lexi and Duck backed off as the coyote's body glowed light blue as she used her fire powers to melt the snow.
Lexi jumped forward and helped Ace to his feet. Ace rubbed his head and moaned.
Cassidy knelt beside Tech and helped him up as well. "Hellow, Mommy! You looks amazin' tonite!" Tech mumbled, confused and dazed.
Cassidy giggled. "Don't you scare me like that again!"
Tech chuckled, coming to his senses. "I make no promises."
.YELLOW TRIANGLE.
Ace sat down in a chair as he gazed at Lexi. "Lex, I think dat if you have anythin' ta say, you should say it now..."
Lexi looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Cassidy set her hand on Lexi's shoulder. "When Duck said that the guys were at your parent's farm.... you were acting weird..... Like something was wrong...We just want to make sure you're okay...."
Lexi looked at the floor. "It was nothing." She muttered, refusing to look up at her teammates. With that, she turned around and ran to her room.
"Lex!" Ace called after her, standing up.
"Ace.... maybe I should talk to her..." Cassidy spoke up. "It might make things easier for her........"
Ace nodded. "Alright, go have your girl talk." He smirked.
Cassidy smiled before running to Lexi's room. "Lexi? It's Cassidy.... Can I come in?"
There was a sniffle. "Sure.. As long as it's just you.."
Cassidy opened Lexi's bedroom door and walked in. "Are you okay?" Lexi was sitting on her bed, holding a picture frame in her hands. Cassidy sat beside her. "She looks cute. What's her name?"
"Her name was Isabelle Bunny.... She was my sister..."
"Was? You mean..? Oh, Lexi, I'm so sorry!"
"No, it's okay... You don't need to apologize..." Lexi sighed.
"So, what happened to her?" Cassidy asked, being cautious.
"We were playing outside one day, and we saw this wild horse, which isn't uncommon where we lived.... But he was covered in scratches and deep cuts. So, we approached him slowly, wanting to help him. He stood still for us, until a hunter fired his gun. The horse freaked, knocked me down, then ran..... But... he... literally ran over Ella in the process..... " Tears were visible on Lexi's face. "She was in the hospital for three months before she left us..... Her ribs were crushed, and her leg was broken severely... There was nothing the doctors could do...."
Cassidy gasped. "Oh, Lexi.. I.." But Lexi broke down in tears. Cassidy hugged her gently. "I'm so sorry.." She whispered.
