Sorry for the late update. No school today wahoo! Anyway here's chapter 7!

&&&&&&

"OK, this is great. We can not get into our own base." Danger snapped for the thousandth time as he yanked on the door. For about thirty minutes the whole team had been trying to bust the doors open and give their enemies the element of surprise. Sadly, it wasn't going too well.

Lexi sighed impatiently as the minutes ticked by endlessly. All of a sudden something hit her…She was picking up voices from inside the tower!

"I say we just let them in and kill them! They'll never know what hit them. They can't defeat us!" A raspy male voice said.

"You don't know that for a fact." A melodic woman's voice responded. The voice seemed calm and almost sounded like…Zadavia?

"Yeah right. Ace is just a wanna-be super hero, Tech doesn't get out enough, Slam is just plain stupid, Rev is too hyper to stay in one spot for more than five seconds, Danger doesn't think before he acts, and Lexi well…"

"…Is the key. Do you know what we can do to her? If we can get into Lexi's mind, she could control the Loonatics! With Tech's sheer genius, Slam's strength, Ace's agility, Rev's speed, and Danger's powers we could be unstoppable! We could rule Acmetropolis, maybe even the whole world forever! No more waiting ever 100 years for the Haunting to start, we'd have it for all eternity." The woman said excitedly.

"Why Lexi? Why not any of the others?"

"Because they're powers aren't close to the power of telepathy! With just a little more training, Lexi's sonar hearing could be changed into telepathy, which could turn into mind control! She could control anyone we want her to."

"How would we control her in the first place?" The man's voice asked most likely confused.

"Through me you imbecile! I'm a telepathic!" The woman hissed.

"OH. So shall we get started?"

"Yes. Let's make them feel right at home."

Lexi snapped out of it and heard a loud bang. She whipped around to see the door wide open and a seemingly surprised Duck staring at it.

"Well, anyway let's get this over with." Danger said strolling in.

"Wait! Guys don't go in there! It's a…" Lexi trailed off as voices started ringing through her head.

"Lexi? Are you okay?" Ace asked as Lexi started to clutch her head.

"Lex?" Tech asked turning around.

As soon as it started, the voices disappeared and Lexi straightened.

"You okay?" Ace asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. Let's go ahead in shall we?" Lexi asked.

Everyone nodded and continued inside. What they didn't notice was Lexi's eyes had turned milky white and a golden glow came from her eyes as her mind was completely taken over.

&&&&&&

Ace continued walking down the long corridors trying to figure out where the brains behind this stupid thing were. He was a little surprised Lexi hadn't picked up anything. Actually, she hadn't said much since she had been clutching her head like that. She seemed to be in her own little world.

"In here." Ace jumped and turned to see Lexi standing outside the door to the training room.

"You-hear-something-from-in-there?-I-don't-see-anything-with-my-radar." Rev said.

"I'm pretty sure something came from in here. Why don't if we go check to make sure?" Lexi said. Before anyone could answer she had all ready opened the door and disappeared inside.

&&&&&&

"Lexi, there's nothing here." Tech said. Then the metal doors slammed behind them.

"Hey! They're locked!" Danger yelled pulling on the door.

"How could they get…Ugh!" Tech grunted as he fell to the floor.

"Lexi? What do you think you're doing? You just knocked out Tech!" Ace yelled. Lexi gave a small smirk as one by one she knocked everyone out. Finally it was just her and Ace.

"Lexi, come on snap out of it." Ace said circling her.

"No." Lexi said flinging a metal pipe into his gut.

Everything went black…

&&&&&&

Ace groaned as he sat up. He glanced around. He was in some sort of an electrical force field. He looked at the others who seemed to have been awake for hours in the same type of force field.

"Why are you guys just sitting there?" Ace snapped.

"We've tried to break down the force fields. All it does is take our energy and stores it in that big glass ball over there. We're completely drained." Tech said.

"And the glass ball would be what?" Ace asked.

"It's also a force field that generates energy. It's connected to these force fields around us. Anything we throw at it gets absorbed and then stored. Then it's probably used for witch craft and things like that." Tech said.

"What about Lexi?"

"She's doomed." Danger said.

"What he's trying to say is she's under mind control right now."

"And she can't get out of it?"

"Did you not hear the words mind control? I even tried using my phone and it didn't snap her out of it!" Danger said.

"She's under a very strong power if she can't be snapped out of it." Tech said.

"Oh goody. Mean looking guys with swords. Great!" Danger said sarcastically.

Everyone turned their attention to two cloaked men who deactivated the force fields. Ace thought this would be his opportunity to wipe them out, but that was short lived because their swords had the same type of glow as the electrical force field did. This meant they couldn't escape.

Everyone was herded into another part of the training room where they were placed on metal tables. Many creatures stood above them chanting some foreign language.

A woman stepped forward with Lexi by her side.

"We are gathered here, to see the execution of the Loonatics."

Everyone cheered.

"Because of their many plans to ruin our scheme, we must punish them with sudden death. There will be no more interference whatsoever! It was taken as a vote to either put them under mind control, or kill them. Our people don't want to be near these miserable idiots, so they shall be killed!" The woman roared.

"Objection!" Another woman yelled standing up.

"What do you want now Zadavia? You have been most troubling today." The woman said in exasperation.

Danger craned his neck trying to see the "boss lady". Hopefully she would come to their aid, even if she were under the Haunting.

"Their great powers could be used to help us! We could use all of their powers to take over the whole galaxy!"

"Why do you think we drained them of their powers first? They are ours now. They have nothing!" the other woman spat.

Everyone's eyes widened. Danger tried teleporting to no avail. Tech tried using his metal abilities, no luck there either. Ace tried his optical blastand was puzzled to discover his powers were gone too.

Zadavia stood there for a moment. "I see your point…Fine. Kill Ace first." She said before sitting down followed by cheers.

Ace whipped around trying to find the woman again.

"Yes. We shall kill the leader first. Lexi, please do the honors. He was your lover boy after all." The woman said with a coy smirk.

Lexi walked over with a sai blade in her hand.

She stepped up so that she was exactly over him. She raised the sai blade.

"Lexi! Don't do this! It's Ace, come on you remember me right? We're friends, I kissed you the other night…Come on work with me Lexi! I know you have a deep inner strength in there. You just need to find it."

"I can't" Ace stared in bewilderment. Had she just spoken to him telepathically?

"Yes you can! I know you Lexi, you're not a quitter you're a fighter!" Ace said frantically.

Lexi brought down the sai blade…

I LOVE being evil like this! Hee hee. Stay tuned to find out what happens next please!
