Dawn of the seventh Lunatic

--

Currently the Lunatics were stationed at one of their many safe houses. They had an entire network of them all around the planet in case they need to travel. This one was located in the side of a cliff. It was orginally designed to be a base for the shore line patrol unit but after it was flooded nobody wanted it. It wasn't as big as their main base but it wasn't small either. Each Lunatic had their own room with a few guest bedrooms. It was equiped with a mission room, training room, lounge, rec room, etc. It used to have a green house but Tech had converted it into his lab complete with a computer personality.

The hall ways were dimly lite by green lights and it smelled like the ocean. Ace's door opened and he stepped out. The bunny began to strole down the hall and into the lounge. The room was large with the kitchen and dining room on the sides. He jumped over the back of the couch and landed on it. He wore casual clothes so no uniform. Tech had called them to say that he was gathering information so he would be late but it was midnight now. Ace wasn't worried but mad. "That dam coyote how could he kept something like that from us." He vented.

His fustration was obvious to anyone with eyeballs and even a blind person could. "Ace?" a voice said behind him causing the rabbit to turn around. lexie was standing there in a pair of shirts and a tank top. "What are you still doing up? You went to bed 3 hours ago." lexie said as she walked around the couch and sat next to Ace.

Ace sighed as he looked at her. "I'm fine, just after almost dying sleep doesn't come easy." Ace explained. "I remember that after you woke up you couldn't get to sleep with me next to you." He remembered and Lexie smiled. "You wouldn't let go of me like a little kid and their favorte toy." He laughed along with lexie at that cute little memory (Just great, i'm getting a soft spot. Need action scence soon.)

The too stopped laughing and looked at each other. In the 3 years since they said their feelings they were closer then ever. Ace put his hand against her cheek and she blushed. they broght their faces together and kissed.

"Oh come on. Why do you think I made your rooms sound proof." Tech shouted in agony. The pair abruptly stopped kissing and stared at the coyote. He was covered in dirt an had a few bruises. "Now i'm gonna have to buy a new couch. That's the only piece of furnature that you guys have made out on." He ranted on and on. The rabbits sighed and sweat dropped(like in anima) at his stupid paranoa.

"Relax. It was just one kiss." Lexie said before standing up and walking away. "Good night Ace, see you later Tech." she said and disappeared into the hall. The last part was said with fustration.

"She's moody." Tech pointed out before his eyes got big. "Ah don't tell me you knocked her up." Tech remarked and might of had a heart attack but Ace calmed him down.

"No i have not. Well at least until we get married but that's way off." Ace reassured before he followed Tech to the lab. "So are you Ok, cause you look like shit." Ace asked to which Tech laughed. "what's so funny?" He inquired.

The coyote shook his head as he walked up to the elivador door. It opened and they both got in. "i'm fine. After Slam and Rev got back I went to investigate where the bounty hunters went. Anyway I..." Tech stopped talking and Ace glared at him. The door opened.

Ace put on his best confused face. "How did you know they were bounty hunters? They could of been a gang." Ace said with a almost deadly edge. "Is there anything else your not telling your pals about?" Ace interigated with anger. The coyote looked nervouse before smiling and walking out. "What you smiling about?" Ace questioned before stepping out too.

The lab was bigger then most rooms and the best equiped. It was about a 3rd of a football feild long, 50 feet wide and 25 feet high. It was over most of the rooms like sound proof, even air tight. It had 3 walls and only one window. The window and fourth wall was a glass half dome. Moon light shone in and tech turn on a desk lamp. Crates were stacked up farther back. Gadgets were cluttered on selfs and even a bed was there, obviously used.

Tech got behind a desk and casually sat down behind. "So you've figured it out have you?" Tech stated without looking at ace. He was busy tinkering with a few metal spheres. "Really i'm surpised you haven't cleaved my head off yet." Tech continued calmly as if nothing was wrong.

Ace clenched his fists as his anger fummed. "How could you hold something like this from us. Your supposed to be our friend." Ace continued with a deadly edge in his voice. The rabbit's eyes were narrowed he glared at Tech. Tech had his back to him but he expacted what happened next. Ace dug his right heel into the ground and propelled himself forward in a bling leap of rage. The coyote whipped around, caught ace's right fist and leg before pinning him to the ground.

"Listen to me." Tech said as the two struggled. "Let me explain, just calm down." Tech panted after a few minutes of holding Ace as his muscles weakened. "Calm DOWN!" Tech shouted as a shock went through them both. Ace stopped struggle and leaned against the floor. "Can I explain now/" Tech asked to which Ace nodded in defeat.

Tech paced back and fourth as he thought. "3 years ago I found Freeze. I had planned on killing him but things wen't differently then I had planned." Tech said without looking at Ace. "I had my finger on the trigger and the gun to his head. He never once fought back, just simply fell to his knees awaiting his death. I..." Tech stopped pacing. "Lexie was still in her coma. Suddenly I realized how to wake Lexie up. Freeze could. He put her into the coma by his mind overpowering hers. I made a deal with him. He woke Lexie up and I let him go with simply a warning to stay outta sight." Tech finished, Ace was just confused.

"That's not all is it?" ace asked.

the world"No, it's not." He replied. "Freeze fled to Zero land after I let him go and tried ajusting to sociecty but his past wouldn't leave him alone. After some people got hurt he became a vigilante. He wasn't a small time vigilante by any means. No he wants to go after the source of it in Zero land. Eddie Rotter is his target and now he's our too." Tech continued but Ace interupted him.

"Eddie Rotter! We're heros not cops. Let them take care of the dirty dealers and the corrupted goverment. When a mutated gorrilla roams the streets then we help." Ace retorted. "I mean really he might not be clean but he isn't trying to take over the world or such." Ace replied as he stood up. "We attack this guy and we make a major enemy. "let Freeze handle Rotter if he wants. However i've got a few words to say to our old pal before we go." Ace said sternly before attempting to walk away.

"Were not doing this to help Freeze, he hates the idea of our help against Rotter." Tech tried to explain.

"Well then let's get outta here." Ace simply replied.

However the coyote was not going to lose this issue. "Every month Rotter gains more influence over buisness men, land owners and even other officals. He has several friends in high places and he is very powerful, so powerful even the press is afraid of him. We help where normal people can't and isn't this the same?" Tech asked causing Ace to stop. "All we have to do is keep an eye on Rotter and knock his henchmen down a few notchs. Freeze...he's a loose cannon so I don't know what he'll do. He's got more ammunition then the army and about a hundred men backing him up. Evety day he is losing his sanity bit by bit until he snaps and goes berserk. There is only one of us here that can match Freezein a fight, and that's you. thats your role in this game. Clear?" Tech asked.

Ace clentched his knuckles tighter. "Please save your flattery. We both know I lost in our fights. We are packing up in the morning." Ace ordered as he started walking again.

Tech was about to say something but stopped. He let ace go before returning to work. "Ace could win, Freeze has lost his ice powers. He has no powers." Tech commented to himself as he laid down on one of the beds. "I'll deal with him in the morning." Tech decided.

Guns clanged as they were loaded and put on safty. Freeze along with a hundred others were sitting in a constrution site, loading guns. "You all know the drill. Don't kill unless nessisary. Rotter is mine." He explained it quickly and everyone locvked in loaded. "Also, stay safe, pull out when I give the word." He continued before a teenager walked up to him. "Get that dirty scumbag for us, hu Chopper." He greeted and Freeze grinned. "I will."
