That night, a dangerous criminal known as the Sagittarius Stomper had stolen some jewelry, but was spotted by two police officers. Stomper dropped the bag of jewels and climbed up a skyscraper so nobody could get him. Police surrounded the building and put up a yellow tape police line to keep civilians away. The Loonatics arrived on the scene and Ace called out to the Stomper through a megaphone.
Ace: Sagittarius Stomper, get down here or we're coming up!
Duck: That's right-Oomph!
A large toilet seat with the picture of an anvil came crashing down on Duck, startling the other Loonatics. Duck wasn't hurt, but he was slightly dazed as his head stuck out.
Duck: I take that as a no.
Sophie: Are you OK, Duck?
Duck: Never better, toots.
Tech: I'll bring him down. Behold the Atomic Phase Departiculator, APD for short.
Duck: (climbs out of toilet seat) So what is it? Aside from being unpronounced-a-bibble?
Sophie: It can phase-shift solid to liquid and liquid to gas.
Duck: So can Slam, when he eats too many beans.
Slam was gorging himself through a large can of beans and breaking wind in the process, then let out a slight "Oopsie."
Sophie: ( Covers her nose ) Ewww.
Rev: I think the idea is to change the building beneath the Stomper's hands from solid brick to liquid. With nothing to hold onto-BOOM! He falls right into our hands.
High above the skyscraper, Stomper dropped a huge piece of debris down towards the public. People ran for cover so not to get smashed.
Duck: (gasps) I'm too handsome to be oxen-free!
The mallard quacked himself out of the way, but he accidently quacked right in front of Tech and bumped his new invention out of the coyote's hands.
Tech: Duck! NO!
The APD began to go haywire, blasting everything in its path and turning it to liquid, such as a car, an umbrella where a woman was sitting under, and freeing Dr. Dare from his stone statue prison. When Stomper dropped another huge piece of debris, the explosion from Tech's APD sent Duck hurling into the air. The machine blasted the part of the building where Stomper stood into liquid, and Stomper fell right on top of Duck. Duck tied Stomper's hands together and quacked himself onto Stomper's back, just as the Stomper plummeted to the ground. Seeing what had happened, an overzealous reporter and the crowd cheered for Duck.
Reporter: Hold the presses! What a scoop! Danger Duck captures Stomper!
Tech: (disbelief) Duck? But...but…but…but I-
Just then, Stomper's Mom walked over to the Loonatics.
Mum: Oh dear, and he's such a good boy really. Why, he never made a peep after "the accident." Here, let me show his baby pictures.
The Loonatics huddled over to get a glimpse of Stomper's baby picture after the operation which gave him his robotic limbs (Sophie was in-between Ace and Lexi). Baby Stomper turned out to be one ugly baby in that photo, as Duck silently muttered ew.
Mum: Here's my little Stomper after the operation. Cute as a button.
Policeman: Ok, Stomper. Time to go to the slammer.
The police handcuffed Stomper and dragged him to a waiting police vehicle, while the Stomper glared threateningly at Danger Duck.
Stomper: I'll be back, and when I do, I'm gonna…get the duck!
Back at HQ, there was a press conference and Duck was soaking up all the attention.
Reporter: So how did it feel to take down the Stomper all by yourself? Did you ever doubt your chances? Uh, what kind of breakfast cereal do you eat?
Duck: Grape. No, anything with my picture on the box.
While the press took pictures of Duck, the rest of the Loonatics stood by annoyed and probably jealous.
Lexi: I thought he was tough to live with before.
Tech: My fifteen minutes. It was my invention that saved the day.
Sophie: (Growling) Tech, please tell me that you can make a flame-thrower, so we can have roasted duck tonight?
Tech: Tell me, when do you need it.
Sophie: Maybe in a few moments.
Duck: (to the press) Did I ever tell you that Danger is my middle name?
Rev: (zooms in) Danger is also his first name. I heard he was thinking of changing his last name to Danger, naming him Danger Danger Danger. But then when you called him, you never knew you were calling him by his first name, middle name, last name-
Duck: (pushes Rev away) Hey, hey, hey! Stop running at the beak; I can handle my own interviews.
Reporter: Were you ever afraid Mr. Danger?
Duck: Oh-ho, no. A true action hero doesn't have time to be afraid. He's too busy being ready for action. Why, I can't even spell the word "fear"!
Lexi: (to Ace) He can't spell very many words, period.
Reporter: How do the other Loonatics feel about your saving the day?
Duck: Aw, they're used to it.
But when he glanced over at the other Loonatics, they gave Duck death glares at his supposedly saving the day.
Duck: Uh, but they do all help. I mean, where would we be without Ace driving me to the action…and Lexi cheering me on…and Rev blabbering on…Slam, well, forget Slam…Sophie, she's my girlfriend…and Tech! Tech, he is our resident Mr. Fix It Guy!
Tech seemed a bit surprised to hear Duck say this about him, while the others were miffed, and Sophie's jaw dropped when Duck referred to her as his "girlfriend."
Duck: Why, whenever the toilet backs up, we always know who to call.
The press laughed while Tech scowled, but he was more pissed off that Duck, claimed that his fiancé is his girlfriend.
Reporter: Are you worried about the Stomper? He's broken out of every jail he's ever been in.
Duck: I'm not worried for…did you say every jail?
Reporter: And each time, he's gotten whoever put him there.
Duck: (stutters nervously) Whoever…put him…there? Ah, nonsense! No five hundred pound thug's gonna intimidate Danger Duck, especially when he's behind thick bars! (gulps timidly) Exactly how thick are those bars?
Ace, Lexi, Rev, and Sophie grinned deviously, though Sophie's was scarier than the others.
Later when the press left, the Loonatics angrily confronted Duck in the den by the couch.
Ace: Drive?
Lexi: Cheer?
Tech: Fix toilets?
Sophie: Girlfriend?
Rev: Blabber on?
Slam: Bad Duck!
Duck: Hey, hey, I was quoted out of context.
Lexi: I'll show you out-of-context!
She brain blasted Duck right in the tail to teach him a lesson.
Duck: Ow! Hey, that's no way to treat a national treasure!
Sophie had decided to take matters into her own hands.
Sophie: Listen Duck, I have tried to prevent myself from hitting you, because of your stunts. But you went too far, you just downplayed the entire team and named me your girlfriend!
Duck: Well…you are a cutie.
Sophie: Encase that you forgot! I am engaged to Tech! ( She pointed to said coyote, who was ready to kill Duck )
Just then, the news channel was on.
Tech: Looks like we got trouble. It appears our "national treasure" saved the day…he unwittingly unleashed a bolt that freed Dr. Dare from his stony statue prison.
Duck: (nervously) Hey, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Tech: Dr. Dare's already created new bots and its attacking the Museum of Greek History.
Ace: Then let's go teach Dr. Dare a little something about the past.
Ace, Duck, Rev, and Slam left to go investigate the crime scene while Tech, Lexi, and Sophie stayed behind at HQ to fix the APD machine. When they got back, Duck was still his rude boastful self as Lexi approached him with a bouquet of flowers with a note she found at the doorstep.
Duck: Good job, team. I'd give you all raises, only we don't get paid.
Lexi: (sarcastically) Oh, Danger Danger Danger…
Duck: (takes bouquet) Oh, you shouldn't have. In the future, I prefer daisies.
Lexi: They came while you were out.
Duck: Well, well. I must have a secret admirer who has a thing for brave, handsome action heroes. "Hope you like the flowers, cause you'll be pushing them up soon." How sweet. "As in six feet under them. Yours truly, the Stomper?"
Suddenly, a giant washing machine with an anvil's picture on the side fell out of nowhere and landed right at Duck's feet. When the smoke cleared, Tech and Sophie walked over.
Sophie: Oh, look. A new washing machine.
Duck: Is this some kind of sick joke!? You did it, fess up! I know you're all jealous of my fame!
Tech: I was busy fixing what you broke the whole time!
Lexi: And I was helping.
Sophie: Me too.
Duck: You were?
Tech: (chuckles) What's wrong, Duck? I thought you couldn't spell the word "fear."
Duck: Fear. F-E-E-E-R-E. Nope, still can't spell it.
As Sophie, Lexi, and Tech walked back to the lab, Duck looked around worriedly. Could it really be the Stomper who had dropped a heavy object at his feet? Sophie glanced back at Duck. Sure he was being obnoxious about his fame, but with the info about the Stomper getting back at those who put him away, it made her feel uneasy and worried for Duck's safety.
That night, after Duck and Ace's visit to the prison where the Stomper was kept, Duck couldn't sleep because he was scared out of his wit and his bed was covered with various weapons to protect him. Suddenly, a cow fell out of nowhere and landed on Duck's bed. The cow licked him on the face, and Duck screamed as he quacked out of his bedroom, waking the other Loonatics, in their different colored pajamas, as they rushed over to him.
Ace: What!?
Duck: (grabs Ace's collar) He's here, he's here I tell you! He dropped a cow on me!
Lexi: A cow?
Duck: A big one, with udders and hooves, the whole package!
Rev and Slam glanced awkward expressions at each other. Sophie put a hand on Duck's forehead to make sure he wasn't ill.
Sophie: Um, are you feeling alright, Duck?
Duck: No, the Stomper just dropped a cow on me!
The gang walked into Duck's bedroom to see if this "cow" was still there.
Duck: Careful. He's got a cow and he's not afraid to use it. (runs inside bedroom) See? See!? Yeeaaah!
But the cow was gone and Duck fell back into Ace's arms. However, Sophie noticed a tiny milk stain on the blanket.
Lexi: (yawns) I think someone's having a bad dream.
Tech: (bitterly) Probably brought on by a guilty conscience, for taking credit that he shouldn't have.
Sophie: (frowns at Tech) Who knew coyotes could be so whiney?
Ace: Hey, next time it happens, Duck…
Duck: Yes? Yes?
Lexi: Don't wake us.
Everyone left Duck's bedroom to go back to their rooms to sleep.
Duck: Oh, don't worry. I won't. (tugs at his collar) It's not like I'm afraid. I just thought you'd wanna know. Uh, would you mind leaving the door open a crack?
But the door closed shut and Duck climbed back into his bed.
Duck: They're right. Probably just an overactive imagination. There's only one thing for an action hero to do…hide in terror! (pulls sheet over his head and whimpers)
The next morning when Duck wasn't in his room, Sophie sniffed at the tiny milk stain on Duck's blanket.
Sophie: So it is milk! I thought for a second that Duck became a wet blanket. Maybe Duck had a drink of milk last night and had that bad dream about the Stomper dropping cows on him.
But when she checked the refrigerator, there wasn't any milk left at all.
Sophie: Ok…there's no milk. I should remind Rev to make a list and go to the store.
Tech: What are you doing, Sophie?
The wolf girl had been lost in her thoughts, when she got startled to see Tech standing behind her.
Sophie: Oh! Uh, good morning, Tech.
Tech: Not since Duck woke us up with one of his nightmares.
Sophie: I know, Tech. Duck was just dreaming about the Stomper dropping a cow on him, Cause I found some milk on his floor. I think he just is paranoid with his nightmares.
Tech: (bitterly) You're telling me.
Moments later, Dr. Dare was out wreaking havoc in the city, using the stolen shield of Perseus, which had Medusa's face on front. He planned to transform the people into stone statues. Luckily, Ace, Duck, Lexi, Tech, and Sophie intercepted Dr. Dare and his rock soldiers from attacking the city. Ace used his sword to slice the rock monsters into pieces. Lexi and Sophie used their brain blast and Sophie claw to destroy the giant rocks. Tech suddenly turned into big damn hero as he used his newly fixed APD to turn Dr. Dare's flying platform into water, causing him to fall to the ground on top of his shield, turning him once more into a statue.
When the same reporter who kept followed Duck to interview came onto the scene, Duck let Tech get the credit for stopping Dr. Dare and finally admitted that it was Tech, who captured the Stomper, in hopes that the breaking news will convince the Stomper to go after Tech instead of him. But instead, the Stomper sent a bouquet of flowers with a note, and a falling refrigerator, saying he will go after both Duck and Tech, frightening them both. After coming back from the Acmetropolis Prison, Duck and Tech were so freaked out when the Stomper displayed a threatening knitting pattern of himself killing both Duck and Tech, the two anthros decided to "take a vacation," as the others looked on.
When Duck and Tech left, Sophie decided to follow them secretly; in case should they run into trouble. She had tracked them to the sewers, where she heard the screams of Duck and Tech trying to escape the Stomper. Duck had just recently selflessly saved Tech from the Stomper after a minute of soul-searching. While Sophie searched for her fiancé and friend, her calls echoed throughout the sewers, getting the Stomper's attention.
Sophie: Duck! Tech! Where are you? Come on out, I'm taking you back to-Aah!
She found herself in the Stomper's grip before she could make her escape. Stomper thought that if he could threaten Sophie, it could lure Duck and Tech out of hiding.
Stomper: Ok, youse two! Come on out before I turn your girlfriend into a taxidermy!
Sophie: Let me go!
Then, a green aura surrounded the Stomper's robotic hand, the one that held and squeezed Sophie painfully. It was Tech, his arms stretched out and hands glowing so to use his powers to keep the Stomper from killing Sophie. Then an orange orb was flung onto the Stomper's face, and as he was blinded by the tar of the orb, the Stomper dropped Sophie right in front of Duck and Tech.
Duck: You ok, toots?
Tech: Lucky we saved you in time.
Sophie: (gratefully hugs Tech and Duck) Thanks.
But the Stomper was angrier than ever as he continued to chase the three anthros to a corner in the sewer. Tech reminded Duck of his Aqua Dense powers and Duck used the sewer water and his power to fight back against the Stomper, but he kept fighting his way through.
Duck: He's too strong!
Tech: Don't give up! You can do it!
Sophie: C'mon Duck!
The more Duck tried, the more Stomper kept coming. The Aqua Dense power didn't appear that powerful against the Stomper, but it took long enough for Ace and Lexi to use Tech's APD to trap the Stomper in a block of ice.
Ace: Nice vacation package. Who's your travel agent?
Sophie: Ace! Lexi! But how?
Ace: Lexi's super ears. She picked up the Stomper's distant whistling, so we followed the follower.
Duck: I follow, but how did he get out of jail?
Ace: He didn't.
Ace and Lexi took Duck, Tech, and Sophie, along with Rev and Slam and that annoying reporter guy, to the Acmetropolis Prison to show them what he had discovered. There was another Stomper inside the prison dome when they got there.
Tech: Two Stompers!?
Duck: Oh great! Twice the ugly for half the fun.
Ace: I figured it all out from the clues. Pink tooth brush, crocheting, then it comes to me; Stomper's mom used to be a leading bionics scientist. She was the one who built Stomper's arms and legs.
The other Stomper inside the prison dome turned out to be a robot operated and controlled by the Stomper's mother from the inside.
Mum: He's really a good boy.
Ace: She switched places with sonny boy back when he was captured leaving the real Sagittarius Stomper free to get his revenge on Duck, giving him an airtight alibi.
The Stomper walked into the prison dome and his mother hugged him by his robotic chest.
Mum: I told you he was a good boy!
Ace: Yeah. The Stomper and his mom will be locked up once and for all.
Reporter: Wow, Mr. Ace Bunny, you figured all that out?
Duck: Actually, it was all part of my intricate plan to serve justice. When dealing with a criminal like the Stomper, you're dealing with an animal. I knew by using my wits, the poor pathetic beast wouldn't stand a chance. It was only a matter of time before I hooked my prey and had him…begging?
Then, there was a familiar whistling as the Stomper gave a malevolent grin while waving at Duck, who became terrified.
Duck: Love to stay and reminisce, but I'm late for my workout. Run for your lives!
He ran over to the elevator, where the other Loonatics were at, miffed again at Duck for trying to hog all the credit again, and they coldly shut the door in his face as Duck ran smacked face on the elevator door. He began banging on the door and pleaded that someone let him in.
Duck: Aah! Help! It's him, it's him! Help, please! No more dropping objects! Not another cow!
When the rest of the Loonatics had already left, Sophie opened the elevator door and yanked Duck back inside.
Duck: Sophie!
Sophie: Get in here!
But as soon as the doors closed, a cow had dropped out of nowhere and landed in the spot where Duck had been standing.
