Episode 2: Nuke Hour
Technology is something. "Of course it is something! Look at this phone! The latest model! The Orange Techphone 10!" Tech is so excited as he examined more phone models.
"Lots of the cellular technology had undergone an evolution breakthrough! You can make instant phone calls, send instant messages and download any app in an instant!" Rev sped talk as he sped around and had grabbed a ton of phones. "Rev, you better not drop a phone. All of them cost a bomb and we're only here because I want to get the latest laptop model!"
"Oh right you brought a good point. Now if you excuse me!" Rev sped around returning the phones back to their spots. After that, Tech examined a laptop as the owners of the store which are the gophers, Mech and Tash approached him. "Anything we can do?" Mech asked.
"Yeah. Can you explain to me the-"
"KSH!" They turned to see Rev and a broken phone. "Uh...Ha. Ha. Ha...sweaty palms?" Tech sighed. "Well what's the worse that can happen?"
"BAM!"
A dog wearing a metal armour on his body with a harness attached to the back entered the store with a buzzard wearing a high tech helmet entered the store. "Alright you whippersnappers, Junkyard Dawg and his partner, Beamy Buzzard are here to make a phone call getaway with all the stuff!" The dog shouted. The buzzard just nods his head as, "I'm gonna make a phone call. By calling those villains scrap metal!" said Tech.
"Scrap metal? Oh yes." Junkyard Dawg pressed a button on his armour and a laser cannon was unfolded out of the harness and it was installed on his right arm. "Made out of my own scrap."
"Made out of my own technology." Tech drew out a triple wrist laser cannon and installed it on his left hand. Both groups got ready.
Somewhere...
"The best burgers to get is right here!" Duck can seen entering a burger joint with Slam and Stealth. "Okay guys. What will you like? I know Slam, you eat a hundred hamburgers."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah!" Slam cheered raising his fists in the air. "Well...I'll just get 2 burgers and a large fries with a large soda. Simple enough." said Stealth.
"Alright! Now I can-"
"IOOM!"
"Blargh! Lah! Gah!" Slam exclaimed. "Sufferin Succotash. I sense a bank robbery!" Stealth sensed as Slam grabbed him and Duck leaving the burger joint. "But what about the burgers?!"
"Duck! That'll have to wait!" Stealth replied as they got onto their zoomatrixes and they sped off.
When they arrived, they can see a bulldog with a pike on his back and a terrier with a high-tech grenade launcher on his back exit the bank. "Oh boy Pike! We just looted the entire bank! Wow! Boss will be so pleased of our teamwork!"
"Quit yapping Cluster! I think we have finally got their attention." He pointed at the 3 Loonatics as they got ready. "Right..." Both of them known as Pike the Bulldog and Cluster the Terrier got ready as both groups faced each other.
Elsewhere...
"Wow! I love this necklace." Lexi admired it for she and Ace were at a jewel store. Ace can be seen examining a diamond ring made out of quasarlinium. He then looked at Lexi. "Gee...I wish I can-"
"BOOM!"
Out of nowhere, a cat and a large dog entered the store. "Shiny isn't it?" The cat asked. "Yeah. Perfect for ourselves." said the large dog as Ace and Lexi noticed them. "Now you don't see that everyday Lexi, a cat and a dog bonding together even though dogs like to chase cats." said Ace.
"Yeah. Alright then, let's take them down!" Lexi replied as they got ready. "Ha! 2 bunny rabbits thinking they can stop Mace Winduny and Klawe Kat. I'll prove them wrong."
"You mean we?"
"Shut up and prepare for battle!" Mace Winduny drew out a purple laser sword while Klawe Kat activated his claws that emitted electrical energy.
6 scenes then showed both sides of heroes and villains all ready for a fight.
The battle begins at the Orange App Store as Tech and Junkyard Dawg fired their weapons while Rev sped around avoiding optic blasts fired from the helmet of Beamy Buzzard.
"Nice helmet for a buzzard like you but you're actually a terrible and lousy shooter! I even counted how many times you missed me! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Rev then kicked the buzzard but he retaliated with plasma beam.
"WHIRR-VEEOW!"
The beam cut through the entire store as, "What in the name of the spectrum was that?!" Rev sped talk as nearby, Tech and Junkyard Dawg exchanged weapon fire until Junkyard Dawg's weapon got destroyed. "KSH!"
"HEY! NOT FAIR!" He shouted.
"Well, my tech is better than yours."
"You make me angry! And I'll show you that it's even better than your tech!" Tech then looked closely and saw him activate his harness as 2 cylinder shaped storage tanks containing some red serum folded out and then, a gauntlet connected to the tanks was ejected as Junkyard Dawg wore it on his left arm. He pressed a button and the red serum was injected on his body. Suddenly, his eyes glowed, he growled in rage and started growing his size!
"Aw man! What we're seeing now is a large, incredible brute!" Tech exclaimed as, "JUNKYARD DAWG CRUSH!" He leapt in the air and slammed the ground causing the store to be utterly destroyed.
"NO! Not the laptop!" Tech shouted in horror as Beamy Buzzard blasted it into pieces with his laser vision. "Mass Destruction if you ask me!? What should we do!?" Rev sped talk while panicking.
As for now, Beamy Buzzard switched his helmet into ray mode as it fired a sustained and focused ray as he used it to chase Rev around. "I better save my tail feathers from this!" He panicked as he sped around and then, "Hey big bad brute! Eat focused pain!"
Junkyard Dawg turned to Rev as he slid down below him and, "VEEOW!"
Beamy Buzzard was stunned at the accidental friendly fire as, "Nice move Rev!" Tech praised him as Junkyard Dawg regained conscious when he received some transmission via earpiece. He then pressed the gauntlet and he returned to his normal size as he ran and grabbed Beamy Buzzard. "Ya whippersnappers are lucky for now!" They jumped on some bike and sped off. Tech and Rev tried to pursue them but Beamy Buzzard fired a laser blast at a building. "There are civilians in there!" No choice as Tech and Rev went on a rescue mission but right after Tech threw a device on their ride.
(Green Triangle)
Outside the Acmetropolis Bank, explosions are taking place as Cluster the Terrier launched numerous and different types of ordinances. "Here comes a big one!" He shouted excitedly as he launched a plasma grenade. To counter it, Duck threw a power orb. "IOOM!"
"Strike one for the duck!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! But how many more strikes can you score?" Cluster asked as Duck looked up to see miniature plasma grenades falling onto him! "Yeah! It's a cluster type ordinance! One big boom splits into many just like multiplication!"
"And that's why I suck at math." said Duck when Slam spun up and formed a tornado on his fist launching it at the grenades blowing them up. "Rah hoo!" he cheered and nearby, Stealth clashed with Pike. Katana VS Pike.
"Hold still so I can impale you!" Pike ordered as he struck but Stealth blocked it and transformed his weapon into a battle axe.
"Nice trick. I have a few too."
"Thanks." Stealth replied as he swung his axe but Pike jumped away and did a demonstration. "The first trick." He got his pike ready as the main blade fired energy blasts! "VEEOW! VEEOW! VEEOW!"
Swiftly, Stealth transformed his axe into a metal staff and blocked the attacks. "Second trick." The 4 side blades of the pike fired energy seeking shots. Stealth jumped around avoiding the blast and, "Third and final trick." The head was then launched!
"Sufferin Succotash! A chain-linked energy pike!" Stealth realized when the chains tied him up! He was then spun around as the chain linked back. "We got ourselves a spinning top!" Pike laughed when he received a transmission via earpiece.
Then, "Cluster! We're moving out!"
"Aw c'mon Pike! I didn't have enough fun! Can I blow more stuff one more time? Can I destroy something with an explosion or can I-"
"You had enough fun already! Now let's leg it!" Pike carried Cluster as they ran off. "Get those villains! No one escapes the wrath of Danger Duck!" Duck boasted but, "I don't think so! Watch as I create the big bang theory!" Cluster launched a highly explosive grenade at a building. "IOOM!"
"Ouch. That grenade created a big bang destroying the whole building." said Duck.
"Not good. We have to let them go for the sake of the people. I sense many trapped and unable to escape!" said Stealth as they shifted their focus on rescuing the people from the collapsing building.
(White Triangle)
Ace and Lexi clashed hard against Mace Winduny and Klawe Kat as Ace used his Guardian Strike Sword. He struck Mace but he blocked it with his laser sword. He then kicked Ace and fired lasers from his twin laser cannon installed on his left arm. Ace regained himself and blocked the lasers while Lexi is seen avoiding Klawe Kat's electrical slashes.
"Missed me! Too bad! Oops try again!"
"You stupid bunny!" Klawe was pissed as he slashed harder but Lexi dodged it again and a brain blast knocked him out. "KSH!" He crashed outside as he lay unconscious. Lexi went to check on him as she bent down to examine him.
But somehow, he opened his eyes and, "Gotcha!" He activated one of his electrical claws and instead of slashing, he touched her arm with it!
"BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZKKK!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Lexi screamed in pain from the electrical energy overwhelming her body as, "LEXI!" Ace saw the trouble as he ran to save her but, "Hey! Who are you looking at? I'm your opponent!" Mace Winduny grabbed his head and, "BSH!"
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Head bash!" He laughed throwing Ace onto the wall as he crashed. He then approached Ace as he got ready to slice him. "Any last words?"
"Yeah. Look into my eyes."
"Okay." But it's a trick. "VEEOW!"
"What the?" Mace Winduny dodged the laser vision in time but it gave Ace time to regain himself as he dropkicked the dog onto Klawe crashing onto him thus, Lexi no longer got the shock attack. "Thanks Ace."
"You okay Lexi? You sure took a lot of electrical charges." Ace checked on her as she felt flattered by how much he cares for her when, "Wait a minute, the dog and the cat are gone."
Ace looked around and realized that they are indeed gone. They even did not steal any jewellery. "How strange of villains to flee so easily after I dropkick the dog's guts."
Then, their right gauntlets flashed revealing a hologram of Zadavia as they pointed their bands to the wall. "That's because the attack was a distraction. The real robbery took place at the Acmetropolis Military Complex Lab. Head there now and rendezvous with the other Loonatics. I have already contacted them to meet up at the designated location. Zadavia out."
"So it's a distraction." said Lexi. "And that's why we're going to the real crime scene. Let's jet!"
(Yellow Triangle)
The 2 bunnies arrived via Zoomatrixes as they met up with the other Loonatics. "So, anything happened?" Ace asked.
"Well, Rev and I fought a rage induced dog and a helmet wearing buzzard." said Tech.
"And we fought 2 crazy dogs. One uses a pike, the other uses a grenade launcher." said Duck.
"BOOM!" Slam exclaimed referring to the grenades that Cluster launched. Then, "Good to see you Loonatics."
"What's up doc." Ace greeted Colonel Trench as they entered the lab. Inside, lots of damage.
"Who is so dangerous enough to breach security measures and cause chaos?" Tech asked.
"Me." Duck answered. Rev snickered and gave him the thumbs up.
"Yes Duck, you're dangerous but not evil at least." said Tech as, "2 hours ago, a large dog broke into the lab and caused the chaos." The colonel reported. "Colonel Trench. Did this large dog steal anything?" Lexi asked.
"Did he steal a Futuretank Z-5? A bio-incendiary rocket launcher? Or how about the large dog stole the Trollbot 9000 just like the time that skipped to the supervillain that attempted the same thing!" Rev sped talked.
"My men are checking every nook and cranny in this place." The colonel replied.
"Then how about we check your security room and see if we can see that large dog." Ace requested. "Very well follow me." Colonel Trench replied as, "I bet he's as big as you Slam! Or bigger than you." said Duck. Slam just shoved him lightly.
Soon enough...
At the security room, the Loonatics are seen watching footages of the crime scene. "That large dog is strong." Tech noticed.
"Very good combat skills." said Ace.
"And he's durable." said Lexi.
"And he really is bigger than Slam." Stealth added.
"He's rahight!" Slam exclaimed. "I knew it! I knew it! I'm so smart!" Duck praised himself as Tech went to the main computer to check out this villain. Soon enough, it showed the name. Hacktor.
"Sufferin Succotash! I know that mutt!" Stealth recognized. "He was the royal guard!"
"Royal guard?" Ace asked. "Hacktor was the royal guard of that edible canary! He was loyal and protective but mysteriously vanished from unknown reasons." Stealth explained. "I only hear about him because I was still the innocent cat."
"So Hacktor was the robber." said Lexi. "Hey, what's he doing in that footage?" All looked to see him work on a computer in some room and then, he took out a thumdrive and jetpacked out of the place.
"Seems like he got his name because he was doing some hacking..." said Ace when a soldier entered the room. "Colonel! We found out that the culprit stole something!"
"What is it soldier?"
"It's not good. You're not gonna like it."
"Then I bet what he hacked and stole is at the room!" said Ace referring to the screen. "That's the military archive room. We store in top secret intel and data for safekeeping." Colonel Trench explained as they headed there.
Inside...
The group looked around as, "There's the main computer that Hacktor hacked!" Tech went to it and started checking the data. Soon enough, the screen showed 9 numbers in 5 digits. "Nuclear launch codes!" Colonel Trench recognized.
"Nuclear launch codes?" The Loonatics stared at him as, "It's been so long since nuclear technology was used and mentioned." said Tech.
"Yes. I do remember the last time we abandoned this technology. We relocated 9 nuclear missile silos into some island." said Colonel Trench as he keyed in something and soon enough, a map was revealed and the coordinates of the island.
"If this Hacktor stole the launch codes, he may also have stolen the coordinates to the launch facility!" Ace realized. "I did a scan and indeed, Hacktor attacked the lab and stole these 2 components." said Tech. "We're gonna have to find a lead on this guy." After saying this, the group left while Colonel Trench and the military continued fixing the place.
(Green Triangle)
Outside, the bands on their right gauntlets glowed as the Loonatics pointed their bands to the centre which revealed Zadavia again.
"The 3 distractions and the raid on the weapons lab are all linked. The 7 criminals belong to a gang called, "The Rowdy Street Petz."
"Pets? Ha! But the buzzard doesn't sound like a pet it sounded like a bird scavenger or something." Rev sped talked.
"This gang was established several years ago and they have been operating decently. Hacktor has recently joined in and the other members besides him consist of the 6 assailants that you encountered and last for not least. The leader. Calls herself Crime Boss Cleo."
"A female is leader of the gang?" Duck asked. "I find it hard to believe!" Lexi and Zadavia stared at Duck. "What?" He asked as, "How come this gang was only known to us now?" Ace asked.
"It is most likely they operate in secrecy even before this team is formed. Only now, Optimatus was able to acquire intel about them for me to report to you all about" Zadavia assumed. "You have to find out why this gang stole the launch codes and put and end to their scheme and their operations. Zadavia out."
As the Loonatics looked around, "So where do we start? Head back to the crime scenes? Maybe I can zip around or-"
"Easy Rev. Good thing I was one step ahead of those rowdy, domestic critters." Tech took out a controller and pressed a button. The screen revealed a map and a green dot is seen. "While Rev and I are engaged in battle, I planted a tracking device on their ride." Tech keyed in some buttons and it revealed something. "The gang's hangout is in a junkyard. No wonder that dog knows how to make his toys."
"I bet you have competition Tech." said Ace. "Let's jet!"
(Yellow Triangle)
The Acmetropoolis Junkyard is where various junk which consist of old and damaged equipment, electronics and vehicles were dumped and to be collected for recycling. Through the Zoomatrixes, the Loonatics had arrived.
"Boy this junk sure smells like trash." said Duck.
"But sometimes, by salvaging the place, you can find several useful components still in good condition." said Tech as they entered the junkyard. "I can see several heaps of junk piled up." said Lexi. "But I don't see the gang's hangout." said Ace.
Then, Lexi sensed something via her sonic hearing. "Ambush!" She jumped onto Ace off the way as all around the junkyard, numerous twin barrelled turbolaser cannon turrets popped around and opened fired. All scattered except Stealth as he deflected the lasers with his Ninja Power Sword destroying a few of the turrets.
Rev sped about avoiding the lasers as he stood between 2 of them. When they opened fired, he sped off and they destroyed each other. "Ha! Now that's what I call, friendly fire!" he laughed as he dodged a laser blast.
Slam has no problem as he approached a turret and smashed it despite all the firepower hitting him. Ace and Lexi took covering firing their laser and sonic blasts at any turret they can see. Tech wore his triple wrist laser cannon and fired packets of it at any turret at his sight. Duck quacked around causing friendly fire among the turrets and fired his power orbs that either blow up the turret or clog the barrels for them to blow themselves since the orbs are used differently in any case.
Soon enough, Stealth slashed a turret in half. "That's the last of them."
"Good work guys. Now Tech, where do we start on this junkyard?" Ace asked. "Let's see...we are near their hangout. Straight ahead and here we are!" Tech replied following the directions and now, "Hold on a minute Tech, I got a feeling your gizmo is faulty. I don't see their hangout!" Duck exclaimed.
"That's because we're below it!" Lexi exclaimed.
"I knew it." said Duck.
"Of course. I told you..." Lexi sighed as Ace felt the ground. "Oh look I feel metal. It is below us!" Ace exclaimed when suddenly, a door opened up below them!
"AAAAAAHHH!" The Loonatics fell through. "Rah-ha flying!" Slam exclaimed and, "PSH!" All crashed inside. "Everyone okay?" Stealth asked. "I have no broken wings, no broken tail feather and no broken legs so I'm perfectly fine thank you!" Rev sped talk. "But the thing is, it's dark."
"Right. So now what?" Ace asked through the darkness.
"We destroy you!" A voice boomed as the lights are on and the Loonatics found themselves in the middle of the hangout as the members of the Rowdy Street Petz made their appearance right in front of them.
"7 rowdy pets ready to fight." said Duck. "But what about their leader?" Upon hearing that, Hacktor and Mace Winduny stepped aside and then, a shadowy figure can be seen sitting on, "A hovering pillow cushion?" Tech exclaimed and then, "Ah...our first catch of the day..." the leader made it's appearance...
...
...
...
...
...
"A kitten? A kitten? The crime boss is a tiny, adorable kitten?!" Duck then started to laugh as the kitten who's lying on the hovering cushion hovered up in front of her subordinates.
"So you're Crime Boss Cleo. Wow, a kitten leading a gang of thugs." Ace exclaimed. "Thank you but compliments won't save you and your city!" Crime Boss Cleo stated. "Since my best man Hacktor acquired the launch codes and the coordinates of the abandoned facility, we're gonna play with nuclear weapons and sing happy birthday to Acmetropolis on it's last day!"
All gaped as the gang exchanged sinister laughs. "You're the craziest and most violent crime boss ever!" Duck described. "Yeah! 9 nuclear missiles in the facility and you're gonna activate them for an overkill achievement? You're insane!" Lexi exclaimed.
"Whatever you say, it's a good thing I made something for you Loonatics knowing that soon, you'll find our hangout and thwart us."
"Wait a minute, what did you make? A oversized booby trap expected to hit us behind?" Rev sped talked.
"You're standing on it." Crime Boss Cleo replied and, "VMM! VMM! VMM! VMM!"
"Ray shields!" Tech exclaimed as all looked around. "Trapped like rats in a cage!" Klawe Kat described as the gang laughed. "C'mon boys! We got a fireworks display to work on! Into the ship!" The crime boss ordered as the gang cheered and ran past the trapped Loonatics into their ship as it powered up and took off in an instant.
"Great. Just great." Duck complained. Our city's going to experience a-OW!"
"Not good! The ray shields are gonna close on us and if we don't do something, we're all gonna be fried extra crispy!" Stealth realized. "A touch is a pain but getting overwhelmed will end us all." said Tech as the Loonatics clung to each other closely as the ray shields closed onto them as if one looks above, the square's size is being minimized.
As all clung to each closely to avoid the ray shields, Ace could feel Lexi cling to him tightly. "She sure has a strong grip." He thought smiling to herself as Stealth drew his Ninja Power Sword and struck the ray shield. "I can only wave it around and phase it out."
"Wait a minute! Ace, use your sword and blast their main computer system and hurry! We're almost toast!" Tech ordered. "I see what you have in mind Tech. Guardian Strike Sword!" Ace activated his weapon as it phased out of the ray shield and, "VEEOW!"
"IOOM!"
"FZK!"
"We live!" Duck cheered as all heaved a sigh of relief. "No time to rest. Tech, call for transport. Our next destination will be a launch facility."
And so...
In a ship, the Loonatics are on their way to an uncharted island which is slightly near the city. Once they disembarked, "This is it. The silos are located here just as the colonel pointed out based on the coordinates." Tech spoke to the group. "But I don't see any of the silos!" Duck stated. "That's because they're underground." Lexi explained. "And I'm picking movement at-"
"UP THERE!" Ace jumped onto Lexi pushing her away as a grenade landed by. "IOOM!"
The good news is that Lexi was saved and, "How long are we gonna lie on and stare each other?" She asked Ace as he realized it and got up blushing earning some suspicious looks from the other Loonatics. Then, "VEEOW!"
"I see you little buzzard bozo!" Rev called out dodging the laser blast as from a cliff, Beamy Buzzard and Cluster the Terrier are seen providing fire support as in front of the Loonatics, "Rowdy Street Petz! Let's wreck 'em all!" Klawe Kat activated his electric claws and charged to battle with Junkyard Dawg who just activated an arsenal of missiles pods and buzzsaw launchers and Pike the Bulldog who drew out his energy pike.
"Split up Loonatics! Stealth and Tech, on me! The rest of you guys play nice with the other hooligans!" Ace ordered as he and thr assigned Loonatics sneaked to another direction while the rest engaged in battle. "I only see 4 of them! Where are the other 3?" Pike asked as he activated his chain-linked pike lashing it at Duck who just quacked out of sight. "Ah no need to worry, the crime boss and other big guys will deal with them if ever they tried to interfere with her plans!" Klawe replied as he leapt in the air to slash Lexi but she kicked his guts off. "Feisty eh?"
"I'm just getting shocked up from our last encounter." Lexi replied as she fired her brain blast that struck him hard knocking him off.
Meanwhile...
"We're almost here...and there!" Tech then pointed at an elevator platform with some foliage removed. "They must have gone underground to set the nukes off." Stealth assumed. "Well, going down." said Ace as they got onto the elevator platform and down they go.
Several minutes later...
The elevator touched ground as the trio stepped off. "9 Nuclear missiles stored and left abandoned." Tech noticed. "Hey, look over there." Stealth pointed at something at the front and, "We have them on our sight." said Ace.
It cuts to the main computer as Hacktor is seen prepping the launch codes. Crime Boss Cleo watched over him while Mace Winduny stood guard. "10 minutes to launch." Hacktor reported and soon, the countdown begins.
"Good. Now we can sit back and enjoy the fireworks." said Crime Boss Cleo as the main computer showed a view of Acmetropolis. "Whoa. A good way to celebrate 4th of July." Mace exclaimed.
"Sorry Doc. But the celebration has to be cut short." They turned to see Ace, Tech and Stealth as, "How did they escape?!" Mace exclaimed. "Oh? I did not expect that." Crime Boss Cleo exclaimed as she faced the trio. "Alright pussyfoot. Be nice and cancel the launch." Ace ordered.
"Yeah! We can do this the easy way or the hard way!" Tech added with a warning.
"How about I do it the fun way?" Crime Boss Cleo took out a remote control and pressed a button. Her hovering cushion then started to transform. "Sufferin Succotash!" Stealth exclaimed and soon, the crime boss sitting on her cushion which had transformed into a mech with 4 barrelled gatling cannons. 2 on the shoulders and 2 on the lower arms of the mech. "Eat hot lasers Loonatics!" The mech fired laser blasts rapidly as Hacktor and Mace Winduny fired their range weapons.
Ace and Stealth blocked the shots covering Tech as the trio hid behind a set of computers systems only to be shredded apart. "We gotta fall back and hide!" Stealth exclaimed as he took out a smokebomb and, "PSH!"
"Drat! They're gone!" Mace Winduny exclaimed as he sliced a cache in frustration. "Relax, they're still around the place hiding. Spilt up and find them and whatever you do, do not shoot the missiles!" They got the message as they split up and looked around.
But they never knew was that at the upper left corner behind a supply of weapon caches, "Thanks to your smokebomb, we barely survived." Ace thanked Stealth. "Yeah. Now how are we gonna stop the countdown?" Stealth asked as the trio looked at each and continued hiding.
Back at the surface...
Beamy Buzzard continued firing various optics as Rev sped around evading them all. He hid behind a rock but, "KSH!"
"Impossible! It's like this guy not only had optics but vision options as well!" Rev sped to another rock to hide but, "KSH!"
"X-ray vision? You're now an easy target Rev." Duck called out as he generated an orb and hurled it at Cluster but he dodged it. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Are you serious? Power orbs that are shaped like eggs?! Let me show you how big my ordinances are!" Cluster placed his grenade launcher upright on the ground and pressed a button. It shook and deployed into mortar mode and launched a grenade in the air. "Very funny. I can't tell whether I should laugh or run for my life." Duck exclaimed sarcastically until the grenade glowed and BOOM!
Hundreds of grenades coming in different types rained down onto the ground. "Mother." Duck nervously exclaimed. "BOMBARDMENT ON THA WAY!" Cluster laughed insanely as hundreds of explosions can be heard.
But when the smoke cleared, "Funny...that duck should have been blown up into a million pieces." Cluster went to examine the ground when, "Looking for me?" In the air, Duck quacked in and powered up some orbs. In response, Cluster grabbed his grenade launcher and got ready to fire. "Let me show you how an explosion should look like!" Duck launched his orbs as they burned and merged together into a flaming orb. And before Cluster can make his launch, "KLOONK!"
"Huh? A grenade jam?" Cluster checked his weapon but, "IOOM!"
The smoke cleared and a burnt Cluster staggered a bit and slumped onto the ground defeated. "A little backfire does the trick." Duck boasted when a chain linked pike chained him around! "You may have bombed my partner but I'll impale you a thousand times brutal!" Pike the Bulldog declared as he pulled Duck towards him. "Mother." Duck said his catchphrase again as Pike punched his face while nearby, Slam spun around avoiding the buzzsaws and missiles until he got close and punched Junkyard Dawg, ripped off his weapons activated from his harness and smashed him down. "You whippersnapper! If you think you can hit me hard, I'll return the favour tripling the pain!" He then activated his harness and the tanks and the gauntlet were activated. Attaching it and injecting himself, he growled and transformed.
"Rah?" Slam was stunned by this and, "Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Rage mode and he's boiling hot and angry!" Rev warned Slam and, "JUNKYARD DAWG CRUSH!"
"Uh-Oh!" Slam now realized it. "POW!"
And nearby, Lexi is dodging Klawe Kat's electric slashes. "Gee, is it just me or are you slower than ever?" Lexi asked. "You're more annoying than our last encounter!" Klawe Kat replied as he delivered a kick! "KSH!" Lexi got kicked on the body as, "You ever heard of Savate?" Klawe then started kickboxing with his electric claws as Lexi's fight has become harder.
At the same time, Rev was still being pursued by the optic blasts as, "I could use some help over here! Somebody!" He sped shouted as he sped past Lexi as she dodged a laser. "That almost sliced my ears and hair!" She then took out a square-shaped mirror when Rev noticed it and an idea struck him. "Hope you don't mind if I borrow it!" He sped past Lexi again taking her mirror as Klawe Kat executed more kickboxing. And as for Rev, "Hey Helmet bird! Tired of missing your target! I'm standing in the open!" Beamy Buzzard was surprised. "That's right. Shoot first and ask questions laser! Ha! Ha! Get it? Get it?" Rev chuckled over it as Beamy Buzzard just fired away. "Wait! It's a trap!" Pike the Bulldog realized but too late, a focused beam was fired and Rev got the mirror ready as he used it to redirect the beam and, "IOOM!"
When the smoke cleared, the buzzard who's helmet appeared to have been destroyed plopped on the ground defeated. "Look at the bright side, your eyes are least in one piece and you can still see clearly soon enough." Rev sped talked when, "KZK!"
"AIEEEEE!" One touch on the tail feather ruffled the road runner's body shocking him. "Oops." Klawe Kat innocently exclaimed and then, "KSH!"
"You asked me whether I heard of savate? The answer is yes and there's more to come!" Gaining the upper hand, Lexi engaged in close combat as Klawe Kat made quick counters using his electric claws again until when he delivered a direct strike, Lexi suddenly grabbed his wrists and brought them down stabbing the ground with the claws. "I'm stuck!" Klawe Kat tried to remove his claws off but, "Deep down, I got you where I wanted." Lexi then delivered a kick. "KSH!"
And back to Slam, "JUNKYARD DAWG CRUSH AND KILL!" Slamming can be heard but Slam's being slammed about as the rage-induced dog grabbed him and started to crush him. "AGH!" Slam could feel the crush as down there, Pike is still punching Duck on the face. "Had enough?"
"Yes!" Duck replied and, "Now!" Rev sped kicked Pike on the face as he crashed onto the ground. He even dropped his pike as he staggered up to pick it up but Lexi kicked it aside and fired a brain blast knocking him out. "3 down. One more to go."
"And it looks like that doggy brute is going squash ole' Slam into a rubber ball!" Duck exclaimed as all could see Junkyard Dawg doing the crushing in rage. "Okay here's the plan. We need to downsize that monster and we do it in the big on brawn, low on brainpower style!" Rev sped talked as he sped and got Junkyard Dawg's attention by flying up and zipping past his face. He was able to get his attention as the brute threw Slam aside and went after Rev as Lexi and Duck tended to him. "You okay Slam?" Lexi asked. He gave her the thumbs up and pointed at something. "Why is he pointing at the tanks?" Duck asked. "I think he wants us to destroy them. Yes! They store that red liquid that appears to be his juice. When he injects himself with the liquid, it enrages him making him brutal and strong!" Lexi realized.
"And it's like the red liquid is some serum mixed with steroids." Duck added. "Probably. But we need high ground since the dog's behaviour is uncontrollable due to the amount of rage he has." said Lexi. "Ha! Leave that to me!"
And back to Rev, he flew around angering Junkyard further. He growled trying to grab him but missed every time. "Boy for a monster like you, you're as slow as a turtle and I know some from this aquatic planet and-"
"SLAM!"
A palm on the ground but when raised up, "JUNKYAD DAWG ANGRY!" He growled and looked around and then, "NOW!"
Duck quacked in the air and launched 2 power orbs shattering the tanks as the red serum spilled out. Lexi then jumped from behind a rock and fired a brain blast at the attached gauntlet destroying it. As a result, Junkyard Dawg returned to normal and passed out instantly. "YAH!" Slam cheered. "Nice work guys. Now let's go and find Ace and the others." said Lexi.
"Oh yes! Since I did most of the work." Duck boasted to himself. "And, hey! Wait for me!"
Back inside...
"Come out, come out and play my little critters." Crime Boss Cleo taunted as she and her last 2 subordinates looked around.
From their hiding spot, "Okay, I have a plan but Ace and Stealth, try to distract them while I get to the controls." Tech told them. "Okay...but what are you gonna do?" Ace asked. "You'll see." Tech replied with a confident smile.
Back to the villains, "No sign of them. I bet they chicken out and leg it." said Mace. "Naw don't get too comfy. It's not like they'll just run away from a fight." Hacktor replied. "You're right about that part." Both turned to see Ace and Stealth jump out from their hiding place, drew their swords and landed right in front of them as both sides clashed. Melee weapons strike each other and dodging took place. "I'll take the purple laser sword wielding dog, you take the hacker dog."
"Sounds like a plan." They spilt up and likewise the dogs and with that, Tech made his move as he sneaked his way to the main computer. He took out a thumbdrive and prepared to attach it to the computer when, "BDEW! BDEW! BDEW! BDEW!" Tech jumped in fear as lasers rained down on him. "Naughty, naughty. No one gets in the way of my plan!" Crime Boss Cleo shouted as she controlled her mech by using the hands to lift a barrel and hurled it at Tech,
"KSH!"
"Ooooh. Squashed like a squash." The crime boss laughed as the barrel rolled off revealing a coyote reduced to mush. But thanks to his molecular regeneration, he soon was back to normal again. "My turn to squash you." He fired magnetic blasts at some metal frames, levitated them and hurled them at the crime boss's mech which took some hits and stumbled down. "Watch the fur!" She shouted as the shoulder mounted gatling cannons opened fired. Tech used some of the dusty and abandoned hardware to block the attacks but they got shredded in a short amount of time.
"5 minutes to launch." A computerized voice announced as rumbling took place and the nuclear missiles are powered up and primed for launch. "Tech! We're running out of time!" Ace called out as Mace hooked his chest. "KSH!"
"Hey doc. Watch it!" Ace fired a laser blast which hit him hard. "You're pathetic! All you can do is use a sword and shoot lasers?! You have power but my fighting capabilities are far superior than yours! Prepare for your demise!" Mace Winduny started spinning his laser sword as it spun faster and faster and then, "VMMM!"
"WHOA!" Ace dodged an energy disc as Mace launched another. Ace dodged it again and activated his Guardian Strike Sword as it fired an energy blast but Mace used his spinning weapon to block it like a shield. "Ha! No one can defeat me! I'm so undefeatable! For a long time, many fought me but got sent to the hospital! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Mace laughed as he used his wrist laser gun and fired some shots. Ace noticing this switched his sword into blade mode and blocked them. "Not good! Can my Guardian Strike Sword do more than just shoot energy blasts?" Ace wondered as he tapped on one part of the blade when it activated into something new!
"WHIR-KSH!"
"Now I've unlocked something! Guardian Strike Sword! FULL POWER!" The sword fired a not one but 5 energy blasts that combined into one powerful KO attack. "What in the world?" Before Mace can counter it, "IOOM!"
The smoke cleared as Mace coughed a bit and, "I...I...I never lose! I..." He then fell on the ground defeated. "Man, I still have to be careful with my sword." Ace thought when, "AH!" Stealth just crashed right beside him as Hacktor approached him. He appears to be using an electro two headed battle axe as his main melee weapon on one hand and a triple barrelled rotary plasma rifle as his range weapon on the other hand. "I always know you're weak Sylth."
"It's Stealth now. I'm no longer who you think."
"Stupid cat. It's like you had memory loss! You can't do things right during the time when the queen tries to dethrone that canary!" Hacktor stated.
"Whatever! You always are the royal guard for that birdface and then you disappeared. Now, you joined a gang of hooligans to help them nuke a city!" Stealth stated back. "What has gotten into you?"
"3 words. I don't care. Now die!" Keeping his range weapon, Hacktor charged and swung his electro battle axe but Stealth double kick his guts off as he grabbed his Ninja Power Sword and transformed it into a naginata. He leapt at Hacktor as he countered his attack. Both fighters swung their heavy melee weapons at each other as Ace decided to help but, "Ace! This is my fight! Help Tech!" Stealth called out as Ace turned to see him having difficulty engaging Crime Boss Cleo's mech and trying to plant the thumbdrive into the main computer.
"2 minutes to launch." The computerized voice announced as the silo doors opened up. "Oh boy! My plan's working like clockwork!" Crime Boss Cleo cheered as she grabbed Tech. "Darn it! I'm stuck!" He exclaimed as the thumbdrive he's holding onto dropped off. Fortunately, "Got it!" Ace then looked at the main computer as he headed to it. "Oh no you don't!" the crime boss piloted her mech and managed to grab Ace but, "Hope she doesn't see this coming. One last ace upon my sleeve." Simple summary, Ace threw the thumbdrive at the main computer.
Also, "WHIR-VEEOW!"
"Hey guys! We took out 5 of those rowdy and now, let's finish the mission!" Duck announced right after the quantum quack usage as the Loonatics attacked the mech with everything they've got.
"BDOW! KSH! KLANG!"
"Hey! Watch the paintwork!" Crime Boss Cleo shouted as the shoulder mounted gatling cannons opened fired but Slam generated tornadoes and they burst right through the weapons. "KSH! KSH!"
"Oh come on!" the kitten whined as the lower arm mounted gatling cannons revved up their cylinders but, "IOOM! IOOM!"
"Oopsie." Duck exclaimed as the crime boss noticed that there's tar clogging the barrels. "Some dirty trick!" She exclaimed. "But I also have a few." The hands of the mech while still binding Ace and Tech were launched! "Uh oh." said Slam as, "KSH!"
"Gotta blaze! Rev sped with the fist chasing him. "I never thought her toy had rocket powered fists." Tech described while the fist chased Rev.
Then, "Guys, we're running out of time! Look!" Lexi pointed at the main computer in which the screen shows 30 seconds. The nuclear missiles powered and started to launch. "Yes! Yes! Meltdown to Acmetropolis!" Crime Boss Cleo cheered when, "Hey cute, adorable, furry kitten. Is this yours?" Her smile faded as Rev sped up to the mech and jumped up landing beside the cockpit. For the rocket fist, "KSH!"
It was a critical hit as the mech broke down into scrap metal as the kitten found herself sitting on a spare cushion. "Which appears to be her safety feature." said Tech as Ace fired a laser beam destroying the fist binding him while Lexi brain blasted the other fist binding Ace. And then, "Oh no! 5 seconds left!" Duck exclaimed and then, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and bye bye.
"Doomsday has come upon you Loonatics!" Crime Boss Cleo cheered when suddenly, "Initiating shutdown."
"WHAT?" The kitten shouted as the nuclear missiles immediately got back in their original position and the silo doors closed. Seeing this, "Oh look at the time, I have a getaway to make." Hacktor threw a knife at the ceiling. It exploded as debris came crashing down. Stealth braced for impact when, "WHIR-VEEOW!"
"WHIR-VEEOW!"
"Thank me later for saving your life." Duck told Stealth as he pat him on the shoulder. As for the crime boss, "But...how..."
"Yeah Tech, how? Does it have to do with the thumbdrive?" Ace asked. "Exactly. I was working on a virus that can reverse the activation of machines through shutdowns, going offline and turning them off. And through the thumbdrive, the virus reversed the activation of the launch and resotred everything back in order." Tech explained. The crime boss was furious. "That's a dirty trick! You fools have foiled me dirty!"
"Oh come on kitty. You and your gang played rowdy and dirty with us. And you know how we took you down? We played by your game in a more proficient manner." Lexi answered as the crime boss was rendered silent.
(Pink Triangle)
"Once again, you have saved the city and foiled another destructive attempt." Zadavia told the Loonatics back in HQ. "All the members of the Rowdy Street Petz are behind bars kept in a single cell each to prevent rowdiness."
"Except for one." Stealth added. "I know. When Hacktor reappears, we will be ready for him. Zadavia out."
After the hologram switched off, "It was strange that Hacktor fled right after the plan was thwarted." Tech spoke up. "I know. What if he was a member of the gang for a temporary time?" Stealth replied. "I also thought the same when I saw him flee. You think he's just a decoy for us?" Ace wondered.
"If he is, who knows which organization he actually is from." said Lexi.
"We thwarted 2 villainous attempts that are the same. Destruction of our city. So what games are the bad players playin with us?" Ace asked.
Somewhere in an alley...
"Just like before, we were close but again, the Loonatics foiled it my queen."
"Understood Hacktor. Seems like our adversaries are more tenacious as I thought. But no matter, my plans for domination will proceed on. Return to HQ at once."
"Understood my queen."
"One thing's for sure, they must not know of not just my domination plan but our presence. Everything's in motion just as I've planned."
Profiles
The Rowdy Street Petz are a notorious, rowdy gang that had been operating in secrecy for some time even before the Loonatics were formed. It's clearly unknown of their criminal activities in the past but their recent activity of nuking a city was one, catastrophic disaster yet foiled by the Loonatics.
Members
1. Crime Boss Cleo
The head honcho of the gang. Despite being a kitten, she has a sadistic behaviour in her plan to nuke Acmetropolis and often whines when she's either losing a fight or her plans being foiled. She's never seen sitting on her soft, high tech hovering cushion which somehow transforms into a combat mech with laser gatling cannons mounted on the shoulders and lower arms along with a spare cushion for safety should the mech get destroyed. Descendant of Cleo, aka Pussyfoot.
2. Mace Winduny
Always seen standing with the crime boss and serving as her second-in-command, Mace Winduny is a tough, brutal combatant who boasted that he's undefeatable until Ace blasted him with a full power attack from his Guardian Strike Sword. His main weapon consists of a purple, laser sword that can slice metal, spin into an energy shield and launch energy discs via spinning. He also used a wrist mounted laser gun on his right hand. Descendant of Marc Anthony.
3. Klawe Kat
When it comes to fights, the cat fights and talks at the same time, he easily gets insulted which made him furious enough to fight harder with his signature electric claws and his proficiency in Savate. Descendant of Claude Cat.
4, Junkyard Dawg
The gang's techie. He spent his life using various junk to craft his weapons and a certain red serum created by himself in which when injected into his body, he turns into a rage, induced brute with massive strength, stamina and endurance. However, tiring himself renders him vulnerable enough to be downsized. Descendant of Barnyard Dawg.
5. Beamy Buzzard
He doesn't talk at all. He just shoots various optics from his high tech helmet and it's a pleasure for him to shoot around rowdily. Descendant of Beaky Buzzard.
6. Pike the Bulldog and Cluster the Terrier
These dogs are a tag team sometimes and often fight solo. Pike takes his role seriously and his main weapon is a chain-linked pike that can fire energy blasts, launch the pike head for a surprise bind his opponents using the chains.

Both dogs are descendants of Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier.
7. Hacktor the Bulldog
This large bulldog recently joined the gang to help them in their destructive, master plan to nuke Acemtropolis. Was revealed to be working with Queen Grannicus at the end and is a skilled warrior wielding his electro battle axe and his triple barrelled rotary plasma rifle for battle. Known also to hack into top secret data skilfully. Descendant of Hector the Bulldog
Whew! Took me long enough to get it done! Episode 3 will be out soon...(Yeah, cut the summary short for the sake of time...)
