Later that day, the citizens of Acmetropolis piled in to the Acme Bowl for the concert of a lifetime. Behind the scenes, Ember was putting the finishing touches on the preparations for the show.

"You'd better be ready, because this is the biggest show of my career!" she yelled at Ed.

"Relax dudette, I'm set, seriously" Ed replied "I'm gonna totally rock out, you'll see."

"Okay then" Ember said, "just follow my lead and you'll do fine."

Then the curtain opened and she faced the stage, her guitar at the ready. Out in the audience sat the members of the Bean Brigade, wearing specially designed earplugs that would block out her hypnotic effects.

"Hello Acmetropolis!" Ember shouted, "who do you love?"

"Ember, Ember, Ember!" the crowd chanted.

"That's right," Ember said, "just keep chanting and soon your city will be mine!"

Then she strummed her guitar and broke into her major hit.

It was, it was September

Winds blow, the dead leaves fall

To you, I did surrender

Two weeks, you didn't call…

From their flying jets, the Loonatics could hear Ember's singing. "Wow-she-sings-really -nice" Rev Runner said.

"Yeah but don't forget that it can put you under her control" Tech replied "if not for my techno-phones, which filter out any subliminal messages."

"Are you up to takin' her down Lex?" Ace asked, "I know she was your idol and everything."

"If she's doing evil, she's no idol of mine" Lexi replied, as the jets made their way closer to the stage.

Oh Ember, you will remember

Ember, one thing remains

Ember, so warm and tender

You will remember my name!

"The only thing people are gonna remember about you is that yer going ta jail" came a Brooklyn accented voice from nearby.

Ember stopped playing and looked for the source; it belonged to an anthropomorphic bunny with a jetpack. "Hey, who ordered the Looney Tunes on steroids?" Ember asked mockingly "look dipstick, I don't know if you know who I am, but this is my concert! Besides, don't you have to drop anvils on somebody, or stuff dynamite down someone's pants?"

"Ooh, good wisecrack" Duck said sarcastically "you really hurt our feelings with that one."

"Give it up Ember" Ace said, "we know yer music is putting everybody in the city in trance, and we're gonna stop ya."

"Try it losers!" Ember said.

"Loonatics, attack!" Ace ordered.

Instantly, Duck used his "quacking" teleportation powers to get behind Ember. "Got ya!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her. Or rather, tried to grab her. "What the heck?" a confused Duck asked, realizing he couldn't get a grip on her.

"Oh did I forget to mention?" Ember said, a smirk on her face "I'm a ghost. That means you can't hurt me, but I can hurt you!"

And before Duck thought to escape, Ember blasted him with an ectoplasmic beam from her hands.

"Not-so-fast-rock-lady" came the super quick voice of Rev.

Ember turned and saw that he, and Slam Tasmanian, were charging her.

"Why don't you two rock out!" Ember said, blasting them with the waves from her guitar. From the stands, the Bean Brigade watched the melee.

"Should we help her out?" Ottoman asked.

"Well, she is a former teammate" Control Freak added.

"Besides, I'm always up for a good brawl" Temblor added, rubbing his gloved fists in glee.

So the villains rushed the stage, taking the Loonatics by surprise.

"Who the heck are these guys?" Duck asked.

"Must be security" Ace joked.

"They're pretty ugly for security," Lexi added, before launching a flying kick at Ottoman. Soon each of the Loonatics was engaged in battle with one villain.

Ace used his heat vision to attack Control Freak, who had animated some speakers. Slam pitted his own awesome tornado powers against Slipstream. Duck used his power "eggs" and quacking ability to keep the Herring on his feet. Lexi dodged furniture attacks from the Ottoman. Tech used his magnetic powers to disable Temblor. And Rev ran circles around Gearhead.

"Dude, you are dead bunny man!" Ed shouted, using his guitar as a weapon. Ace avoided him, and flipped him into Control Freak, knocking him down.

"These guys ain't too hard" he replied.

"Tell me about it" Duck replied, standing over the defeated Herring "could we get a tougher challenge?"

"Be careful what you wish for Duck" Tech said, using his magnetism to drop Temblor on Jack.

As a result, the Sands of Time flew from his coat and rolled across the stage. "Hmm, some type of hourglass" Tech said, reaching over and grabbing the Sands. He stuck in the belt on his costume.

Suddenly, it began to rain; "looks like yer concert's been rained out" Ace said, "now are ya coming to jail, or do we have ta do this the hard way?"

"In case you dipwads forgot, you can't hurt me" Ember said, "so bring it on!"

Before the Loonatics could begin their attack, a lightning bolt struck the stage.

"Whoa, this is really aggressive weather we're having" Duck said.

"Eh, something tells me it ain't the weather that's being aggressive" Ace replied.

Indeed, the storm clouds began to swirl around, until they turned into a humanoid form. This form was a female, with blue skin, gray hair, and a black dress, with what resembled a lightning bolt down the front.

"Behold, it is I, Weather Vane!" the figure exclaimed "and I have returned for my revenge!"

"I warned you" Tech scolded Duck, who simply frowned.

Uh-oh, one of the Loonatics most powerful enemies is back and she's pissed! Stay tuned for the next chapter, Ember tries to bond with the young weather wizard, and the Loonatics learn more about their mysterious foes.
