Chapter 2: Releasing the News

It's been 2 days since Zappondellyo and Lexi have had no luck in letting too many people believe their horrific news. Most of them laughed their heads off at the fact. During this attempt, Zappondellyo had the job of trying to capture Taiguard while Lexi had the duty of capturing Kaiguard… and she succeeded. The two dragons' powers will be mentioned during this search. For now, let's see how Lexi does in telling her teammates about the incoming danger with Kaiguard.

"GUYS!" She screamed as she came back from the city limits, carrying Kaiguard on her back. "We have a crisis in our hands here!"

"Isn't that Zadavia's line?" Danger asked. "And Ace and I heard it already."

"I know, but I need to tell the others."

"Already did." Ace added smoothly. "And they think it's a bunch of crap."

"NO! You shouldn't! It's deadly, guys! This is Kaiguard." She allowed the blue dragon Loonatic to jump off her back and sit like a dog in an adorable and respectful position as she continued. "He's one of the dragons we have to bring back together with Taiguard, his brother."

"Yeah,-sure.-Why?" Rev asked.

"It'll save Acmetropolis from dying! You see, Zappondellyo and I have the duty of bringing the two dragons back together in a brotherly love again. If they don't make up and Taiguard's tentacle touches Kaiguard's laser-powered wings, there will be a huge explosion that'll kill nearly half of Acmetropolis… including us."

Tech was starting to believe her a little bit. Same for Slam. The rest of the Loonatics didn't seem amused at all, though.

"They're just… dragons!" Ace exclaimed. "What harm could they do?"

"A lot, Ace. Trust me. If you don't believe me, then ask Zappondellyo. He created both of them." Lexi replied as she picked up Kaiguard again and nestled him in her arms. As she was walking away towards her room, Tech and Slam watched her with concern and worry. When she was completely in her room, Ace, Rev, and Danger sighed with relief as they watched tv together. Tech and Slam looked at each other with worry and concern by the time her door closed.

As for Zappondellyo…

He was still having the hardest time catching up to his fast creation, Taiguard. As soon as the red dragon made a strong, sharp turning swing off a lightpost and turned the corner, that was it. The rabbit-like Loonatic knew he would disappear completely after that and he decided to take a break from it by sitting in a nearby bench. As he was sitting there in silence, a short, muscular-looking, and lavender colored lynx-wolf-rabbit mix with hazel brown eyes came from the alley behind him and looked at him with concern before he walked up to him with worry.

"Hey, aren't you Zappondellyo?" He asked in a hansome male voice. The tan rabbit-like Loonatic looked down at him with a small smile as he nodded. "I'm KyeVarnyar XVT."

"Nice to meet you, Kye. You don't mind if I call you Kye for short, do you?" Zappondellyo replied as he sat up. KyeVarnyar shook his head in response as he climbed up on the bench next to Zappondellyo.

"Nah, I don't mind. A lot of my friends call me that… or at least, they used to."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, when they heard about your crisis with Kaiguard and Taiguard, they all comitted suicide together by letting Kaiguard shoot them with his lasers, even though the blue dragon really didn't want to."

"Damn! Talk about knowin' what'll happen later. So, are you coming here to say that what I said about that crisis is bullshit or you came to say you believe me?"

"Oh, hell yeah, I believe ya, man! I don't know a solitary person on this planet who wouldn't."

"Over 200 people so far to be exact."

"Oh, man. They think dragons are supposed to be harmless. That's why they've misjudged you."

"I never knew that."

"Well, now you know. Is there somebody helpin' ya?"

"Yeah. Lexi."

"Lexi? Wow. I never thought she would join in."

"Why?"

"Well, I don't know really."

"Then, why did you… nevermind."

"Sorry about that, man. I just say things all outta order and I don't know what the hell I'm talkin' about."

"That's okay. I get that sometimes myself."

"Good. I'm not the only one."

"Are you gonna help me spread this message of life and death?"

"Of course. I heard Taiguard can get a little deadly every now and then, so I'll help you with gettin' him as well."

"Thanks. I just hope Lexi is getting all the luck outta me."

Back at the Loonatics' Tower…

Tech and Slam were at Lexi's door as Tech knocked on it three times. After 5 seconds, the double doors slid open and instead of Lexi at the door, it was Kaiguard, floating in mid-air with his blue laser-powered wings. He smiled at the tasmanian devil and coyote before he allowed the two to enter. Upon entering, Tech and Slam saw Lexi curled up with her head against her knees with worry. They both walked up to her and sat on either side of her, meaning Tech sitting on the right and Slam sitting on the left. The pink bunny was nearly startled when she felt a strong hand touch her shoulder. She looked over to Tech and sighed.

"You believe me, don't you?" She asked, keeping her eyes away from the green coyote. Tech nodded as Kaiguard silently landed on the bed in front of him, watching the scene curiously.

"Slam and I, yeah." Tech replied. "I don't see how Ace, Rev, and Danger wouldn't even bother to believe you. This crisis is more serious than when we had our powers taken away by Sypher."

"Gwuahskdfnalsjdia." Slam garbled in agreement. Lexi looked at the tasmanian devil and showed a small smile.

"Are you two gonna help me spread the news with Kaiguard?"

"Is that who this dragon is?" Tech asked as he looked at the blue dragon Loonatic at his feet on the bed. He roared before he crawled up on the coyote's legs and smiled.

"Yeah, that's me." Kaiguard replied in a hansome voice.

"What exactly are your powers?"

"Nothing but lasers. Lasers on my wings, in my tail, eyebeams, laserbreath, claws, and a forcefield made of laser as well."

"Amazing. Who are you desendant of?"

"Amazingly, Tahitii Taylless, even though I got a tail."

"No wonder you do such good deeds. What about… um… who was it again?...Taiguard?"

"Oh, him. Well, he's been my rival ever since we were first made… minutes after we were made actually… and 10 minutes after at that, too…"

(Flashback, to Zappondellyo's secret lab in a factory…)

Zappondellyo was working on a mega computer as two chamber glass pods were receiving laser energy on one and plasma energy on the other behind him. After 5 minutes of typing, he turned himself and his chair around to watch his two creations become complete. He was silent the whole time. When the energy storage was finally done, he switched off the machine and got up from his seat as he walked up to the two black balls in their own chamber. The first one on the left slowly uncurled into Kaiguard. He curiously looked up at him with a cute squeal. Zappondellyo smiled himself as he placed a hand on his glass.

"Amazing!" He said to himself. "I'll call you Kaiguardian HT8000, or Kaiguard for short."

After saying that, he looked over at the other black ball. It uncurled into Taiguard. The tentacles and the red piece of his 'hair' on his head were the only new features on him. Zappondellyo, once again, smiled.

"And you are called Taiguardian HT9000, or Taiguard for short." He continued. "You two are my first and probably last experimentations I have created. You powers will be presented to you shortly, but first, both of your molecules need to be charged… in order for you to do as much good deeds as our fellow Loonatics and your ancestor, Tahitii Taylless." Zappondellyo walked over to his mega computer again and pulled out two separate cords with one hand each and plugged on under Kaiguard's chamber and the other in Taiguard's. After he started the charging process, he gave the two dragons a little advice. "Now, I'm gonna go out and tell everyone about you two so I can raise some money to pay for the damages to my parents' deaths while you two charge. It'll only take 10 minutes… and so does the charging. Okay?" The two dragons nodded simultaneously. "Good. I'll be back." After that was said, he grabbed his cloak, slipped it on with his hood over his head, and walked out into Acmetropolis to tell about his latest and final work of science, leaving Kaiguard and Taiguard alone to charge. While they were charging, they looked at each other with smiles.

"So, we're Kaiguard and Taiguard, huh?" Kaiguard started. Taiguard nodded in agreement. "I wonder why we were made in the first place."

"One thing is for certain, we'll never know until our creator comes back." Taiguard replied. They stopped their short conversation as they watched the television that was left on for them and it showed that the Loonatics just completed another mission. Kaiguard smiled with affection as he eyed Lexi while Taiguard just growled. "Dumb-ass bitches! They get all the glory before we even get our molecules charged!"

"Hey! Don't disrespect the Loonatics like that, bro!" Kaiguard pleaded as he faced his brother. "They probably worked so hard completin' these missions and everything."

"I don't give a damn! I especially hate Lexi! She's the counterpart of Lola… and my ancestor hated her so much, that he wanted to kill her!"

"You mean… you're NOT decsendant of Tahitii?"

"Hell, no! I'm a decsendant from his evil brother, Kevin. That explains why I'm red."

"Oh, no! I'm not gonna let you murder an innocent Loonatic that saves the day almost every day! I can't!"

"How are ya gonna stop me, huh! I'd love to see you try and hurt me." After that was said, the computer beeped, indicating that the two dragons were fully charged and ready to let loose. The comp automatically released the two dragons and Kaiguard powered up until his eyes were blue, like his suit, and fired a blue laserbeam out of his eyes and it hit Taiguard straight on his chest and he fell back towards the wall behind him, knocking over some chemicals. The fired lasers shocked Kaiguard as he discovered his powers.

"Cool blue lasers!" He gasped to himself. "That's awesome!" After that, he fired lasers that went out all over him… from his tail, his wings, his claws, his breath, etc. This pissed Taiguard off as he displayed one source of his powers by aiming his tentacles at his brother and they both fired plasma energized lasers simultaneously, knocking Kaiguard towards the hard metal floor hard. This made Taiguard smile as he chuckled with evil in his purple eyes.

"Ha, ha! Plasma's more powerful than some whack-ass lasers!" He announced in triumph as he stood up on his tentacles, making him taller than his own height and he started firing his lasers from his eyes, tail, and his mouth. Kaiguard was able to form a laser-powered shield by just standing there with determination and with his claws imbedded in the floor. After 20 shots from his evil twin, Kaiguard disabled his shield and operated his laser wings and flew off towards Taiguard, tackling him down off of his tentacles and onto his back. When Kaiguard had him pinned, he used one hand to aim his claws at his face and charged up his lasers, preparing to kill his twin. Taiguard was about to grab the blue dragon Loonatic by his wings and strangle him until…

"KAIGUARD! TAIGUARD! What are you doing!" Screamed Zappondellyo, who just returned from telling everybody about the two dragons. Kaiguard lowered his claws as he slowly got off of Taiguard, who receeded his tentacles from touching his brother's wings and let them plop on the floor as he sat up. Kaiguard looked ashamed as Taiguard looked amused. "You two were supposed to be brothers! Who started it?"

"He did!" Kaiguard replied, pointing his tail to Taiguard. The red-orange dragon looked at him with fierce purple eyes as he growled. "He was the one over here sayin' that he doesn't give a damn about those Loonatics… especially Lexi!"

"You dare disrespect my favorite Loonatic, huh, Taiguard?" Zappondellyo took off his cloak and walked up to Taiguard before picking him up by his tentacles. "What the hell's gotten into you!"

"It's Kaiguard's fault! He said that he likes those Loonatics and he shouldn't have said that in the first place!" Taiguard pleaded as he made his tentacles glow, trying to force Zappondellyo to let go, but no avail.

"My hands are plasma-resistant, bitch!"

"Screw you, then! If you don't like me, then I'm leavin'! I'll kill Lexi faster than their jetpacks!" After that, he scratched his creator across his face, making him scream in pain as he released him and kneeled down in pain. Kaiguard came to his aid, along with trying to shoot Taiguard on his way out, but missed all those shots before the red-orange dragon brother of his finally escaped into the city. Zappondellyo looked down at Kaiguard, who solemnly placed his hand on his creator's face where Taiguard scratched and it began to glow blue for a minute before he removed it again and the scratch was gone. Zappondellyo sighed with relief as he patted the blue dragon on the head.

"You must be on Tahitii's side." He said to the dragon. "Looks like we've got another enemy on us."

"And you would be right, great creator." Kaiguard agreed. "I've gotta stop him… alone."

"No! I forgot to mention, if you two touch by back parts, then you'll die along with half of Acmetropolis!"

"Then, that's a risk I must face." After that and before Zappondellyo could explain it any further, Kaiguard flew off into the city to look for Taiguard. Zappondellyo sighed again as he sat on the floor in thought.

There has to be a simpler way to capturing both dragons and warning everybody about this crisis simultaneously. His voice inside his head spoke. I'll find some way, even if it takes years.

(Flashback, back to Lexi's room…)

"…so, you see, you're the why Taiguard is furious and wants to kill me first." Kaiguard finished. Lexi, Tech, and Slam were equally shocked as Lexi spoke.

"So, does this mean that I'm the target along with you?" She asked. Kaiguard nodded. "Oh, damn! What am I gonna do?"

"Stay here."

"Huh!" Slam and Tech asked together. Kaiguard flew up in mid-air as he spoke.

"Since Lexi's job to finding me is completed, she has to stay here with me… but, if it happens that Taiguard found us, we'll find another place away from him."

"Whaorcnooajheonjsadhs!" Slam muttered as he exited the room. Tech chuckled at what the tasmanian devil meant."

"I guess that's his language for 'Go to Hell with that shit'." He translated. "Anyway, shall I warn Ace and the others?"

"To be alert, yeah… even if the don't believe this whole worldwide crisis." Kaiguard replied as he floated back down towards the bed.

"I will." After that, Tech left to warn the other Loonatics. Lexi stretched her legs out as she spoke.

"Looks like it's either life or death for me, right?" She said, trying to hold back her tears. Kaiguard didn't want to do this, but he nodded anyway.

"Either way… whether your three unbelieving friends don't believe us, you're still in grave danger… because since they don't believe, they'll perish along with you because…………"

"Because?"

"…………because… they won't help you."

"Oh, hell no!"
