REVIEW RESPONSE

Rock Raider: Yep. It will be a big shock. Hope you like how he reacts. Thanks for the suggestion of the Timesplitters story. If I do one, it will be like an extra level from Timesplitters Future Perfect.

PurpleCobra247: Well, you'll see Zach's reaction in this chapter. I hope you like it. He'll also have to cope with the realisation that Plucky and Shilrey are involved, triple shock. I'm glad you liked Cub's first fight.

Nightw2: Only a year ago, I'd never considired myself a good writer. But when I tried it when I found this site by accident, I found I was very good. Fate plays strange tricks sometimes doesn't it? Anywa, glad you liked the chapter.

acosta pèrez josè ramiro: Yep, poor Sly Jr. has the luck of his father, if he has any. Thanks for the idea of a Sly and Penelope fic. I was aware of the fact that FoxFang and Zach would have to keep in contact but thanks for pointing that out.

Again, this chapter will be longer than the others. This whole story may be longer than my average story length (about 18,000 words). And before I forget, the wait is over. In this chapter, you will learn the villians' name.

Confrontation

FoxFang and Cub eventually arrived back at the Treehouse where FxoFang made her base. Before they entered, FoxFang out her hand on Cub. She was nervous as to how Cub would react to her identity. What would he do? Would he stop loving her? These questions boggled her mind.

"Before we enter, you need to swear to secrecy. If we are discovered, we could be attacked when we're not expecting it." FoxFang instructed. Cub put his hand on his chest.

"Don't worry. I swear never to say anything, no matter what happens." Cub said aloud.

"Good, now you can meet the rest of the group. Prepare yourself for a surprise." With that, FoxFang opened the door to the treehouse. The two of them walked in and Cuub removed his mask. He looked around and was stunned when he saw Plucky and Shirley in the room. Plucky and Shirley looked towards him while FoxFang closed the door.

"Welcome to Headquarters Zach." Plucky greeted.

"How did the training go?" Shirley asked.

"He's ready, and in time for tomorrow." FoxFang replied.

"Plucky and Shirley are your helpers!" Zach exclaimed.

"Yes." FoxFang replied.

"Then, who are you?"

"I've been dreading this moment. Prepare yourself for a big shock." With that, FoxFang took off her mask. Zach looked at her awestruck. He stared for what seemed like forever wide-eyed and with his mouth wide open, almost as if he'd been told something about his parents. Plucky laughed at the sight.

"That face, priceless." Plucky chuckled.

"PLUCKY!" Shirley and Jessica shouted at him. Plucky flinched.

"Sorry." Jessica used her finger to clse Zach's mouth and then waved her hand in front of his eyes, snapping him out of his trance. He looked back at Jessica.

"I don't believeit, all this time I thought you were a male." Zach exclaimed.

"I think cross-dressing comes from my father." Jessica replied with a giggle. Zach was still awestruck.

"The person I love is the hero of the city?"

"Yes, I told you to prepare yourself for a shock."

"But, why did you do it?"

"I wanted to save my parents and protect my friends. To tell the truth, I don't really trust the police to get the job done. The ammount of goons around the city is proof of this." Jessica began to cry softly. Zach held on to her hand and looked at her.

"Jessica, I understand how you feel."

"Please don't let this change anything between us."

"Jessica, I will love you no matter what."

"Thank you, and I'm sorry for decieving you."

"Do Plucky and Shirley know about us?"

"Yes, I trust them enough to keep that secret." When he hearrd that, Zach cuddled up to Jessica. She gave into him and returned the kiss.

"Aww, tender moment." Shirley muttered.

"Now that that's all over, we need to prepare for tomorrow night." Plucky interrupted.

"You sound like the Brain." Zach remarked. Everyone started laughing.

"You mean the party tomorrow night don't you?" Jessica asked.

"The opening of the new ACME superstore. Why do you need to prepare for that?"Zach asked.

"A party that big is the perfect target for people like terorists and thieves, especially since Mum and Dad are going to open the place."

"I see your point. And there will be anough gadgets there to cause trouble if they were taken.

"Were your family invited?"

"Yes. I think everyone was."

"Good, then we'll all be present. We sneak our outfits into the complex and hide them. We'll grab them if they are needed."

"I'm pretty sure this new criminal gang willl target the party.." Shilrey added.

"Ok, now I'd better head home." Zach said.

"If you walk home and you're seen. People will get suspicious." Jessica said.

"Then how do I get home?" Zach aasked. Plucky started thinking.

"Maybe, if we cover Zach in a black robe and I put on the Cub disguise, we could carry Zach back tto his house. If we're spotted, we use our weapons to force people away and then creep back here when Zach is home." Plucky suggested.

"Or I could just teleport him back." Shirley suggested. Plucky didn't reply, favouring to put on a 'duh' look.

"That will work. Bring Zach's outfit when you comee to the party tomorrow." Jessica instructed.

"Ok. I'll be back in a minute." Shirley replied.

"I'll be gone when you get back."

"Ok."

"Zach, I'll try and get hold of a way for us to keep in contact, but I don't have a way at the moment."

"There may be something at the ACME building." Zach suggested.

"That would be dishonest."

"I'll keep telepathic tabs on you two until you find a way." Shirley suggested.

"Ok, thanks." Jessica went up to Zach and kissed his cheek.

"Sleep well, cub." Zach blushed slightly.

"Ready to go home?" Shirley asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Zach replied. Shirley grabbed his hand.

"Then let's get you home." With that, Shirley teleported herself and Zach back to his room. Jessica put her mask back on and went to the door.

"I'm off. See you tomorrow."

"See you FoxFang." Plucky called out just before FoxFang left the treehouse.

"Well, I'd better wait for Shirley to get back."

Shirley and Zach arrived outside Zach's bedroom window. The window was still unlocked so Zach could climb in and climb into bed. Shirley watched from outside. Eventually, Zach climbed back out of bed and went up to the window.

"You don't mind when me and Jessica…" Zach began but Shirley cut him off.

"No. Me and Plucky do it all the time." Shilrey replied.

"That's good. I was woriied about offending you."

"I don't offend easily." Zach then looked towards space.

"I never guessed that the hero I admired and am now allied with is the girl I love."

"Fate plays strange tricks like that, but you said you wanted to be like FoxFang."

"That's true, and now I can live that wish out." Shirley began walking away from the window.

"I'm heading off now. I know tonight was a shock but you'll get over it with a good nights rest, I'm sure of it." With that, Shirley teleported away. Zach closed and locked his window and climbed back into bed.

"Blimey. This is a turn of events I never expected." Zach whispered to himself before falling asleep.

Jessica was back in her room and her disguise was hidden in it's usual spot. Before heading to sleep, she looked in the mirror for a few minutes. What she had done was the most nerve wracking thing she had ever done. But she was thankful that the team now had a fourth member.

"I hope Zach isn't taking this too hard." Jessica muttered to herself. She changed into her night clothes and climbed into bed. She briefly looked at the desk next to her. Three photos were stacked on the desk. One of them was of her parents. The second was of her and Zach, takne when they were at the theme park, and when Zach had confessed his feelings for her. The last was a picture that had been taken while they were in Jamaica. It showed her in a swimsuit with dolphins. Being able to swim with them was something she'd never forget. She sighed and then yawned.

"I'd better get some sleep for tomorrow. No doubt mum and dad will have a dress for me, something I'm not looking forward to." With that, Jessica leant on her pillow and fell asleep.

At 3:00 the following day, Bugs, Lola and Jessica were getting ready for the party at the new ACME superstore. They all had to wear faancy clothes, much to Jessica's disapproval. Bugs was wearing a Black sharp suit with a red tie. Lola was wearing a one piece red dress while Jessica was wearing a one piece blue dress. It was much more comfortable than she thought it would be but she didn't like the idea of having to wear a nice dress. Jessica was also carrying a ruck sack. Bugs had given her permission to take some games along with her in case she got bored. She brought a selection of travel games she had brought for Jamaica, including Tic-Tac-Toe, Battleships, Ludo, Checkers and Cluedo. The rucksack also contained her FoxFang outfit, which was in underneath all the games.

"Man, I am so relieved that I don't have to wear this often." Jessica muttered.

"Jess, I know you don't like wearing dresses but can you try and put up with it?" Bugs asked.

"And like you said, you won't have towear it often." Lola added.

"Hopefully the next time will be my wedding day." Jessica muttered sarcastically.

"I doubt it will be that long until you have to wear it again." Bugs said sterny.

"If it makes you feel better, we have to pick up Buster and Babs en route." Lola added.

"Ok, I'll try and put up with it." Jessica replied.

"That's a good girl." Bugs said, patting Jessica on the shoulder. Jessica lurched her shoulder away.

"Don't mess up my suit."

"Ohh, you're touchier than your mother."

"I heard that." Lola snapped. Jessica couldn't help but laugh.

"That told you."

"Fine, we'd better go if we're going to get there in time." Bugs mentioned, pointing to the clock.

"Good, the sooner we go, the sooner we can get this over with." Jessica muttered bitterly. Bugs decided not to say anything to avoid making Jessica angry. He hated to see her daughter in a bad mood because of her sudden mood swings. When she was in a bad mood, she could be crying one minute then violent the next (A/N: Like you saw in the previous FoxFang). Instead, he climbed out of the burrow, with Lola following. Jessica followed shortly after. They climbed into the Jaguar and drove off to pick up Buster and Babs.

When they arrived at Busters' house, they found Buster and Babs waiting for them together. Buster was wearing a suit similar to Bugs, except it was brown with a blue tie while Babs was wearing a dress exactly like Lola's. They climbed into the back of the car next to Jessica and the group drove off towards the ACME superstore.

"Looking forward to the party?" Buster asked.

"Not really?" Jessica replied.

"Why not?"

"Because there probably won't be much to do. Hopefully some other friends will be round."

"Who do you mean by other friends?"

"People like Zach, Shirley, Plucky, Egghead Jr, the usual suspects."

"Not Sly's son?"

"Not when he insulted me and my best friend at school." Jessica snapped, remembering the incident the day they went to the circus. Buster flinched.

"I won't say any more."

"Thank you, now perhaps I can have a better conversation about a different subject."

"Not enough time guys, we're here." Bugs interrupted. They had parked in front of the ACME superstore. It was a huge skyscraper like building in the centre of the city. Everyone looked at the building in awe. It was at least 50 stories high and was the tallest buildings in the city.

"They certinly went for all the extras." Bugs remarked.

"So, where do we go in?" Babs asked.

"Through the employee's entrance." Jessica replied, pointing to an open door around the side of the building. There was a sign outside bearing the words 'Opening Party' and the time was 15:55.

"Well, we're just in time." Lola said. They all stepped out of the car and went to the employees entrance.

When the rabbits went through the entrance, they found themselves in a long hallway. The walls were mostly plain with the occasional notice board and doors leading to other rooms. Along the walls were pin up notices pointing in the direction to the party. The notices led them up the stairs to the very roof of the building. By the end of the climb, everyone other than Jessica was exhausted, although Jessica feigned exhaustion.

"Have…ACME heard…of elevators?" Buster asked.

"Don't…know" Babs replied.

"At least…we get…exercisae." Jessica added, completely fooling everyone with her acting.

"I see you made it." Came a voice. Everyone looked up and saw Wile E coyote standing in front of them.

"Hi Wile E." Bugs greeted. He had finally caught his breath back, as had everyone else.

"Welcome everyone." Wile E replied.

"How did you become manager anyways?"

"I was selected when ACME chose to put up the superstore here."

"So, I guess you'll be trying out the new gadgets then."

"Indeed I will."

"And I think I know why." Jessica said with a laugh. Everyone else joined in the laughter so Wile E changed the subject.

"Err…come this way. The party is about to start and everyone else is here." Wile E said, guesturing the group to follow. As they did, Jessica glanced around and saw a locker.

"Wile E, can I put my bag in this locker?" Jessica asked.

"Why certinly." Wile E replied. Jessica opened the locker and put her bag in there, noticing Shirley's bag as well.

"Great, we're all set in case anything happens." Jessica thought to herself.

The party room was a large ball room at the top of the building. There was a very long table at the side off the room set for the banquet later. There was also a music player loaded with several different types of music to play. The floor was mostly typical dancing floor, but there was a raised section which was to be used to declair the store open. This raised section was completely wooden with a stand up microphone on the stage. There was a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. The walls were light blue and decorated with the ACME logo. As expected, pretty much all the Looney Tunes were present, except Porly and Petunia. No one was sure why they were abscent from the party but didn't think anything of it. Jessica, Buster and Babs met up with Zach, Plucky and Shirley. Zach was wearing a posh ,James Bond style, Dinner suit that Daffy had brought for him. Plucky was wearing the same clothes as Buster. Shirley was wearing the same clothes asBabs.

"I think we have the same tailors." Buster remarked.

"Seems that way." Shirley replied with a giggle. Jessica noticed Zach had a miserable face.

"Not keen on smart clothes?" Jessica asked.

"Nope." Zach replied.

"Me neither, but we both have to put up with it."

"And it's going to be pretty boring for us."

"Not true, I brought some games for us to play." With that, Jessica ran back to her locker and came back with the games that she'd brought.

"Nice selection." Plucky remarked.

"Thanks. I got them before I went to Jamaica." Jessica replied.

"So, what shall we play first?" Zach asked.

"I say we take a vote." Shirley suggested.

"Good idea, who wants to play Ludo?" Buster asked. Everyone except Plucky and Shirley put their hand in the air.

"At least it's only four people that can play ludo." Plucky muttered.

"Me and Plucky will play Tic-Tac-Toe." Shirley said.

"But no mind reading to get an edge." Plucky snapped. Everyone around started laughing.

The party went well for the first few hours. At 17:00 the banquet was set and everyone ate. After dinner, everyone continued the party. Just to name a few things that were happening, Sylvester and Penelope were dancing in the corner, Daffy and Melissa were dancing in the centre, Tweety and Aaooga were in the corner playing with Becky, Bugs and Lola were snacking on carrots, Taz and She-Devil were having a spinning contest, Jessica, Zach, Buster, Babs, Plucky and Shirley were still playing games and Wile E coyote was running after the Roadrune. All in all, everyone was having a good time. Eventually, it was time for Bugs and Lola to declair the store open.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. It is my pleasure to welcome on stage the people who are going to open this new store. The most distinguised toons in the city, Mr. And Mrs. Bugs and Lola Bunny!" Wile E announced. Bugs and Lola walked up on stage while everyone started applauding. Jessica stayed in the audience. She, Plucky, Shirley and Zach had seperated from Buster and Babs in case anything happened.

"Those rabbits always get the limelight." Daffy muttered as he applauded.

"Ahem, Testing 1 2 3!" Lola called into the microphone before passing it to Bugs.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. It is an honour to be here today. Looniville now has a better ACME store than the one it had before. We sincerely hope that this superstore will bring a big business and make the city proud." Bugs said into the microphone. Everyone began applauding while Bugs handed the Microphone to Lola.

"Ahem, nowon behalf of the ACME corporation. It is our duty to do the honours of opening this superstore." Lola siad into the microphone. On cue, two human employees came onto the stage. One was holding a silver dish with a pair of scissors while the other brought a red ribbon. Lola picked up the scissors.

"Ok, by the powers invested in us, we now officially declair the ACME superstore, Looniville…" Bugs began but before he could finish, the lights failed. The two uhman employees tore off their uniforms and started jumping around the room, causing everyone to scatter. Jessica, Zach, Plucky and Shirley backed to the entrance to the room.

"Guys, do your stuff." Shilrey whispered to Jessica and Zach. They snuck out of the door, obscured by the confusion while Plucky and Shirley shut the door again. When they did this, some windows smashed and two more humans came into the room. One of them pulled out a bomb and threw it to the floor, creating a smokescreen. When the smokescreen cleared, there was another Figure standing next to Bugs. The new figure was a female looking person wearing a blue suit. The suit was accompanied by a red tie. The fugure also had yellow hair and a triangular shapped head. The figure glanced around the room with glee. She raised a hand and the lights came back on.

"Eh…what's up doc?" Bugs asked, trying to sound cool. The figure turned and looked at him.

"What's up doc? What's up doc? I'll tell you what's up doc!" The figure replied. She then grabbed the microphone and looked at the other humans.

"Drum role please!" On that cue the humans all took out a set of drums and did a drum role.

"Citizens of looniville! I am here to announce my big comeback. You must be preety wrinkly if you remember me. But either way, we'll all have a few laughs or screams. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the master of fun, the queen of the jokes, the clown princess of crime! Everyone, the PRANKER is back in town!" Everyone in the room gasped. The Pranker looked back at Bugs.

"That is what is up…DOC!" The Pranker said with a crazy laugh. She hadn't noticed Aaooga fly up beside her. Within a second, Aaooga did her wolf howl and knocked her to the floor, but she quickly got up.

"Oh, a loud mouth have we? Well, I can be loud too." The Pranker chuckled. She pulled out a bicycle horn and squeezed, creating a sound like Aaooga's but 10 times louder. Everyone was now on the floor and all the windows wwere shattered. The Pranker's human helpers had left the room through a window.

"I must say, too much has changed for my liking. New people, New buildings, even a new FoxFang." The Pranker was unaware that FoxFang and Cub were hanging from the ceiling. Bugs recovered and saw FoxFang and Cub on the ceiling.

"Doc, you said something about a new FoxFang, do you mean that dude?" Bugs asked sarcastically. FoxFang and Cub had jumped down onto the floor and were now staring at the Pranker. The Pranker turned and looked.

"So you're the new heroes. Let me have a look at you." The Pranker said with glee. She jumped forward and landed about 3 feet away from FoxFang and Cub. She then started pacing and eyeing the two heroes.

"Hmm, talller than before but doesn't look as buff. I think I can have a laugh with you." The Pranker chuckled.

"Save the jokes for later." FoxFang scolded.

"Ohh, you're a lively one."

"You are a real clown you know that?" Cub asked.

"I know, but I like it." The pranker squeezed her bicycle horn and fired a small missile, which Cub destroyed with a Fangdart before it got even close.

"You'll have to try harder." FoxFang and Cub both leapt at the Pranker but she asily jumped out of the way.

"You two really are lively. I'm sure we'll have a real ball together." As she said this, the Pranker threw a Baseball at FoxFang. As soon as she caught it, the ball exploded and created a smokescreen, during which, the Pranker jumped on a small jet. FoXFang and Cub looked out of the smoke and saw that the Pranker was able to steal a Ruby, a neutronic motherboard, a punp, a bunch of solar pannels, a ton of steel, an LED and a a dish, all ACME brand.

"See you again, FoxFreaks. We'll have a blast like before." The Pranker called out. As she said this, she threw a small bomb towards the room. The blast created another smokescreen, allowing him to escape.

(A/N: Now you know who the villian is, but not completely. Hope you enjoyed that chapter. Let me know how I did and tell me what you think of the Pranker.)
