I don't own Loonatics Unleashed

Loonaticslover13: Thank you for the review! I agree, Miranda should have talked to her friends rather than keeping her feelings bottled up like that. Yep, Fleur showed her girl-power to her friends and the villain. I should have made Pierre say something like, "she eez one bad kitty," but I think I'm gonna put that in the later chapters to come. Enjoy! And thank you for giving me permission to use "Croc Head" and Cruelle De Snow"

;)

The Loonatics quickly climbed up the stairs as they the underground prison and went up the ground to Harman city. As they were running, Duck stopped in his tracks as he heard a soft whimpering noise coming from behind him. He turned around and saw a girl with a brown colored ponytail, slighty shorter than him, and a duck-like tail. She was none other than Miranda and this was the second time that Duck saw her crying. He frowned when he saw her. Why would a girl, who hurt him, and who was willing to kill her friends would cry at a time like this. He decided to turn around and join his teammates but something kept him back. Either it was her crying or his curiosity at why she betrayed them Not just them but HIM!Oh brother he thought as he climbed down the three extra steps and went over to her.

Miranda had her back turned on him. Her hands wiped away the tears that threatened to streak down her face. She hated crying but this was something that she could not control. She had put her friend's lives in danger and she knew that she was going to be living with this guilt all of her life. What was worse was that she knew that all of her friends along with the Loonatics were going to die. She had yelled at her friends that she was going to rule the world after she had done away with them and the villains but now she was not so sure. The way Quinn, Andrea, and Fleur had spoken made her feel that she wasn't worthy enough. Their sarcasm had knocked some sense into her brain.

Duck walked up behind her and held out his hand to tap her on the shoulder. He retreated his hand, fearing that if he touched her, she would punch him. "H-hey," he stuttered.

Miranda whipped around and stared at Duck. Her eyes were glazed over with tears and were blood-shot red as well. To Duck, she had the look of guilt smeared on her face and there was no way to hide it. She pressed her eyes together and slowly lowered her head to the ground as a white orb formed at the side of her eye and slipped down. The teardrop splashed on the gray pavement.

"What are you so worked up about?" Duck asked as he glared at her. He wasn't going to fall for her crying act.

Miranda sniffed as she cleared her eyes and looked at Duck. "Everything," she answered, "I ruined everything."

You sure did Duck thought. He didn't care if she heard his thoughts.

"I know, I know," Miranda answered as she put her hands on her head and walked ahead of Duck. She let out a frustrated sigh. "I don't want to do this anymore!"

Duck folded his arms across his chest and raised an eyebrow at her. "Then why did you do it in the first place?" he asked her. He mentally smiled at himself. He was getting answers from her.

"Because," Miranda sniffed, "they ignored me. Not just my friends but also my parents. I was bullied of at school because of my height. Boys pretended that they liked me and when I found out the real reason why they were staying with me was because they wanted to hurt me. That's why I didn't believe your thoughts when you liked me. I thought you were some other idiot wanting to bug me."

Me? Do something like that? HA! Duck laughed in his head. He admitted himself that he did have a cocky attitude but he would never do something like that to Miranda as those boys had done. He did like her but now he wasn't so sure. Her evil side had surprised now and now that she was crying, he wondered whether she even had an evil side or not. "Are you actually bad?" he asked her.

Miranda shook her head. "I'm just so confused," she whimpered as she leaned against Duck's chest.

Duck was surprised. He looked down at her and reluctantly put his arms around her back and pulled her closer. She buried her face deeper into his chest. He was so confused right now. He didn't know whether she wanted someone to support her and make her feel better or that she really liked him from the start. Nevertheless, having her close to him, he really liked it.

Miranda suddenly pulled away as she looked at him. Her hands gripped his. "I am so sorry for all of this. I have gotten everyone into trouble."

"Maybe its not too late to stop all of this," Duck told her.

Miranda shook her head. "Its too late. Croc King and Irene have already developed an impossible army to defeat. They are dangerous. Its going to take them a long time to defeat them one by one."

"Nothing is impossible," Duck told her, "and take it from me. I have faced a lot of impossible challenges myself but the only important thing, and I hate saying this, is when you work with your team. As long as you do that, you can accomplish everything."

For the first time, Miranda gave him a true smile. "Then I have to confide something in you. Something that Croc King and Irene have planned."

"We took care of Croc Head. He is in prison as we speak right now," Duck informed her.

"But that's not enough to keep him and Irene away from causing trouble," Miranda answered while shaking her head. "I don't think any of them are going to handle the cold. Only Michelle can since she has ice powers."

"The roadrunner?" Duck asked. That seemed to made sense but would Rev also be able to handle it since he ran quick and let a trail of fire behind him?

Miranda nodded. "We have to go and help them now!" she said.

"Then let's quack outta here," Duck said as he held his hand out at Miranda. She grabbed it and they transported out of the room.

It wasn't in Miranda's or Duck's knowledge that what they had said, Irene had heard. She had herself hidden at the side of a wall as she eavesdropped on the two ducks. She felt betrayed that Miranda had turned her backs on them. Croc King wasn't going to be happy to hear that. At least she knew where he was and to make things more interesting, one of those Loonatics had ice powers? She smiled as she touched the blue orb on her cane. She whipped around as she walked down the stairs and went into the prison cells.

"Ohh," she heard a deep moan as Croc King stood up from the ground and put his hand on his head. He staggered backwards. That cat girl had the fist of a brick! he thought as he rubbed his head. He looked up and saw Irene standing there. "Irene," he said as he walked up to the bars and looked at her, "get me out of here."

Knowing the combination, Irene punched it in and unlocked the doors. Croc King walked out of the prison cell. "You have no idea what I just heard from Miranda," Irene told him.

"What?" he asked her.

"Miranda betrayed us," she told him, "I heard her talking to the duck. The one that she threw in front of our feet. She told him about our army and our plan. They are going to ruin it all!"

Croc King was surprised when he heard this. Their plan was to turn everything into ice, including the people that went against them. This wasn't just a regular freeze, this was a death sentence because once those innocent good people were frozen, they would die. The rest that were loyal to him, they would be in his army forever. Croc King growled when he heard about Miranda's betrayal. "She can't do this to us."

"But she did provide me with some useful information," Irene said as she glided over to him, "one of the girls on her team as ice powers. A roadrunner, I think she said."

"So?" he asked her.

Irene touched the blue orb on her cane again, a small smirk making its way to her lips. "You'll see."
