Chapter 6: More Horror takes its Toll

With two alliances formed, it really makes the rest of Acmetropolis well-aware of the horror that could take more on its toll. Kaiguard formes his own alliance with his creation, Ryzakhanyo, Zappondellyo, and Lexi while Pyrokyte and Taiguard have an alliance all their own. Even though Taiguard and Ryzakhanyo had a bit of a spat a few hours ago, Taiguard is still not giving up without an even bigger battle… but as for Emerald…

"Will he live, doctor?" Tech asked. The vet looked all over Emerald very carefully before he answered.

"He will, luckily. The bad news is that it might take weeks for him to heal with all these deep wounds. 4 weeks to be exact." The vet answered. Danger groaned with frustration.

"Are you nuts!" He exclaimed. "We're having a very dangerous crisis ahead of us and you're saying that it may take 4 weeks, a.k.a. a whole month, to heal Emerald, the revenge planner! Uh-uh! I do NOT wanna die a hero!"

"I'm sorry, but that's the big case at this rate. We have to do the best we can and so do you, Loonatics. I'm sure you can think a sure fire way to stop this crisis once and for all."

"We will." Ace came in, carrying the blueprints. "We've got the perfect arsenal for the revenge right here and all we need Tech to do is build it!"

"Zodavia sent those to you?" Tech asked as he took the poster and looked over it.

"Yeah. She wants you to start building it right away."

"Then, it shall be done. We just gotta pray that Emerald will heal up soon while we plan this."

Back at the Loonatics HQ…

Pyrokyte was playing a video game alone while Taiguard was healing himself with a first aid kit in the couch behind the ferret. While that was happening, Zappondellyo and Lexi were engaged in another passionate liplock while Kaiguard was quietly explaining the whole worldwide crisis with Ryzakhanyo all in Lexi's room.

"Ever since Zappondellyo made Taiguard and I, he always said that we were made to be a pair of loving brothers, being one unstoppable team… but then, when we were born, Taiguard came out saying that he hated the Loonatics, especially Lexi." Kaiguard started. "So, he turned against me and tried to kill me and Zappondellyo. Luckily, the real Loonatics were there and stopped him. Now, it's become a nightmare for Acmetropolis. If our back parts touch, it'll cause the whole world to explode, including us. That's why I've got more people on my side than my brother because we need to strike back. He still thinks he has the upper hand, even though it's just him and Pyrokyte. I'm hoping that fight you two had really changed his heart by now."

"Don't worry, Kaiguard." Ryzakhanyo replied in understanding. "After the dissension between him and I, I'm sure that some outstanding diversification in your brother's heart will come to a disembarkation."

"Jesus, you use huge words. Sure, I gave you advanced vocabulary, but damn! I didn't expect your vocab to be this advanced."

"Well, that's how you actualized me."

"Don't remind me." After that was said, a scream of pain was heard from Taiguard, who was still healing his wounds. This scream aburptly stopped Zappondellyo and Lexi's kiss and they looked over at the door with surprise with Ryzakhanyo and Kaiguard. Zappondellyo just shook his head with annoyance as he faced Kaiguard while he was still holding Lexi in his arms.

"He's still trying to manually heal himself?" He asked the blue dragon Loonatic. Kaiguard nodded in response. "When is he gonna learn that he can heal himself naturally with his own powers, like Tech?"

"Probably never. I would tell him, but I'll let him figure it out himself, since he thinks that he can take care of himself." Kaiguard replied.

"Good approximation." Ryzakhanyo agreed as he crossed his arms with annoyance.

Meanwhile, in the abandoned factory that was previously used as Zappondellyo's lab…

"Okay." Tech started as he laid the big poster of blueprints down. "This new advanced armor should be a useful feature for Kaiguard and Zappondellyo."

"Yeah,-but-one-problem…" Rev started as he looked closer at the blueprints. "…that-second-armor-set-looks-a-little-big-for-Zappondellyo."

"You…… you're actually… right… Rev. Good observation. I'm guessing this bigger sized armor is suited for…"

"Ryzakhanyo." Ace finished quickly. Tech turned to him and looked surprised.

"Ryza-what?"

"Ryzakhanyo. He's this new Loonatic that Kaiguard made. He's far more powerful than anybody else on this planet. He's the perfect new comrade for us."

"How tall is he?"

"6' 4" and extremely muscular. He's one Loonatic you shouldn't take for granted."

"Well, in that case, let's make it happen, captain!" Tech grabbed the needed materials for the armored suits and started his work while Ace strapped on his jetpack.

"I'm goin' back to the HQ and see if Lexi, Kaiguard, Zappondellyo, and Ryzakhanyo are alright. Anybody comin' with me, docs?"

"I'll come along." Danger replied as he got up and strapped on his jetpack. Slam growled in response as he strapped on his jetpack as well. Ace chuckled before he looked over at Kye.

"Ya sure ya don't wanna come, Kye? I've got one extra jetpack." He asked. Kye kept his eyesight on the floor as he shook his head in response. He really felt ashamed for not protecting Emerald when he had the chance. Ace felt this as he gently placed the jetpack back down on the floor and started his up. "Well, if ya change ya mind, the extra jetpack is right here, doc. Okay, Loonatics, let's jet!" After that, Danger, Ace, and Slam flew back towards the tower.

Meanwhile, in the streets of Acmetropolis…

Another Mystic ferret and another dragon Loonatic were watching a tv news report from an electronics store. The Mystic ferret looked just like Emerald and Pyrokyte, except he had gold markings and lavender eyes. His bird wings were matching the same color as his eyes. The dragon Loonatic was a female and she looked just the same size as Kaiguard and Taiguard, except she had lavender markings with tangerine colored eyes and a beautiful silky hair mane in lavender as well. They were both shocked to hear the news about Kaiguard and Taiguard.

"I can't believe they just can't get along, causing the whole world to be in peril!" The Mystic ferret exclaimed in his deep male voice. "I wonder how they started fighting in the first place. Don't you , Carnation?"

"Yeah, Paxitony." Carnation, the dragon Loonatic, replied in her sexy deep female voice. "Some kind of insult must've triggered themselves into making a very permanent quarrel. If only there was some way to change them…"

"Yeah, if only." Then, right on cue, they spotted Ace, Danger, and Slam heading for the tower. They smiled as they had an idea.

"Maybe we can after all. Let's go." After Carnation said this, they both flapped their wings and flew off to the tower, following the three Loonatics.

Back at the tower…

Pyrokyte was getting aggrivated with hearing Taiguard's cries of pain every 10 minutes. So, he paused his game and got up in the dragon's face and stopped him from dabbing his final wound with alcohol. This shocked the dragon as he looked at his ferret friend.

"Do you have self-healing powers?" Pyrokyte asked with an annoyed tone. Taiguard's pupils shrank with realization. He felt so embarrased as he lowered the cotton ball and settled it down beside him.

"Oh, yeah. Damn, I forgot!" He replied as he put away the first aid kit and healed himself in a second. "Sorry, man."

"Thanks. Now, I can concentrate on my game. Besides, playing video games helps me come up with ideas to get rid of your brother and his new friend."

"Really! Well, you can continue then. I ain't gonna bother ya anymore!"

In Lexi's room…

"Aw, man!" Kaiguard moaned as he overheard. "Taiguard finally discovered that he can heal himself! Now, what am I gonna do!"

"Don't beleaguer yourself." Ryzakhanyo replied he picked up his creator from under his arms. "Sure, having healing powers may make your kinsman unsurmountable, but there is a way to disable those dynamisms."

"Really? How?"

"My little privileged information. You will find out soon."

"I hope so." After that was said, there was fighting going on from outside. 6 minutes later, the double doors opened and in flew Ace, Danger, Slam, and, at the very last minute, Paxitony and Carnation flew in without nobody noticing and they landed under Lexi's bed as the others began talking.

"Whew!" Danger sighed as he landed on Lexi's bed. "That was too close. For a second there, I actually thought my ass was gonna get shot."

"So did I, Duck, but we got good news." Ace replied as he walked up to Zappondellyo. "Emerald will be able to be healed, but the bad news is that it'll take a whole month for him to heal."

"Oh, no! Are you serious!" Kaiguard exclaimed as he flew up to the two. "Emerald is my best friend!"

"Yeah, I'm serious, doc. Hopefully, he'll be fully healed just in time for you two to be back together as a loving brotherly team."

"Ryzakhanyo, havhkajdquhwjhdasjocnoqshaka!" Slam exclaimed with excitedness as he walked up to Ryzakhanyo. "Mydoaoiwohcnaoieiiljowehfff!"

"I never knew you such a huge zealot of mine. If you like me this much, would you like to intercede in helping us stop this quandary that's happening all over Acmetropolis?"

"Uh…… uh-huh."

"Very gratifying! All we have to do is have some kind of repository."

"What the hell is with those words he be sayin'?" Danger asked in a freaked-out tone. Kaiguard flew up in the mallard's face with a smug look.

"Look, Danger. If you don't like Ryzakhanyo's advanced vocabulary, then you can leave." He replied smoothly. "You're gonna have to get used to it, now that he's on my side."

"Kaiguardian?" Ryzakhanyo called. They all turned towards the tall Loonatic. "Slam Tasmanian wants to facilitate you in stopping your kinsman from causing precariousness to this entire planet. Is that unobjectionable with you?"

"Yeah, sure. I could use some extra muscle. Ace, you take care of Emerald for me. Danger, you stay here with us and keep watch."

"Keep watch? For what!" Danger asked.

"My brother and his friend, of course! Zappondellyo and Lexi, if they start making plans, see if you can make them out and we can make a play to tackle his way to touchdown. Speakin' of a 'repository', Ace, I saw you with some blueprints. What were they for?"

"Zodavia's made some blueprints for some well-advanced armor for you and Ryzakhanyo. At first, I thought the armor for Ryzakhanyo was for Zappondellyo, but Tech… no! Danger said that it was for Ryzakhanyo. It looks like those armor suits have some hard weapons loaded in there." Ace replied.

"Whoa! Awesome! How long will it take to finish building those?"

"Shorter than what it takes to heal Emerald, I know that, doc!"

"Oh, okay."

"Well, better go back and watch Emerald for ya. I'll call ya if somethin' good comes up." After that, Ace was the only one that left. Danger groaned as he placed down his jetpack.

"Well, I guess I better keep watch. Lexi, stand behind me." He moaned. Lexi sighed with annoyance as she released herself from Zappondellyo's arms, but he quickly snatched her back and gave her one more deep kiss before she smiled with an even pinker face.

"Oh, Zappondellyo!" Lexi playfully called out after the blushing moment. "You love me that much, huh?"

"As much as I want you to be loved, my Princess." Zappondellyo replied as he stroked her face lovingly. "You do good out there."

"I will. Thanks." After that, she took her spot behind Danger while Zappondellyo huddled with Ryzakhanyo, Kaiguard, and Slam.

"Okay, you guys. We really need to think of a perfect plan…" Kaiguard started.

"…before things get any worse." Paxitony finished as he came out from under the bed with Carnation behind him. Kaiguard took a good look at Carnation and fell in love. She didn't notice as she was paying attention to what her friend was saying. "Carnation and I are experts at changing an evil adversary's heart without violence. We'll be glad to assist you, if you don't mind."

"Wow! Really?"

"Yeah. My name is Paxitony Rashivev, by the way."

"And what's Lavender Goddess' name again? She's hot like the sun on a summer's day!" Carnation giggled at Kaiguard's sheepish behavior as she walked up to the blue dragon Loonatic and gently stroked under his chin, making him drool.

"My name is Carnation Williams. I'm a descendent of your ancestor's girlfriend, Rachel. His name is Tahitii Taylless, right?"

"Y… y… yeah. I'm Kai… kai… kai… "

"Kaiguard." Zappondellyo finished with an annoyed tone in his deep voice. Carnation giggled again.

"You're name's pretty cool, Kaiguard. We've heard about this big quarrel between you and your evil sibling, Taiguard. How did the fight start?" She asked. Kaiguard finally snapped out of it before he spoke.

"Ahem! Well, when we were just made, we saw a news report about the Loonatics. That's when he started goin' crazy like hell over Lexi the most! I protested against him and he got pissed after that and then… well, that's how it started." He replied.

"Oh! That's terrible! Thanks for telling me. By the way…" She got closer to his face and finished by whispering seductively:"…you're pretty cute." After that was said, she gave him a deep liplock and it was held for over 10 minutes. While the kiss was in session, Paxitony explained the plan.

"If you want to confront Taiguard with violence, then maybe Ryzakhanyo should be the only one with the armor. Kaiguard's already powerful enough to even shoot this guy." He started. Ace nodded in agreement as Slam growled in agreement as well. Ryzakhanyo was stroking his chin with observation. "Then, when he's weakened enough, not close enough to killing him however, Carnation and I will try our best to bring out his past to loving his brother. Deal?"

"Deal!" The three Loonatics replied together.

Meanwhile, outside in the lobby…

"So, now that you're done playing a shootin' game, what's you revenge plan?" Taiguard asked. Pyrokyte chuckled as he turned towards the evil dragon.

"Okay, you saw that before I played that shooting game, I played some crazy-ass fighting game with extremely gross fatalities. Simply, our plan is played out just like that, even if we have to set a trap." Pyrokyte replied. Taiguard growled with hunger at the thought of it.

"Excellenté! That plan's is sure to kill Kaiguard and Ryzakhanyo for sure!"

"Yeah. It'll go by so fast, he won't know what hit him! AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Back in Lexi's room…

"Oh, no!" Lexi exclaimed as he overheard with her sensitive hearing. "Kaiguard, they really wanna murder you… and Ryzakhanyo, too!"

"Well, I'll be prepared!"

"So will myself." Ryzakhanyo agreed. "Paxitony's machination will be sure to delude his exertion in killing my commandant."

"Such strong words from an experiment like yours, Kaiguard." Carnation sighed. "I hope his fighting is as good as he looks."

"Thanks, Carnation." Kaiguard replied. "I just hope that Emerald will be okay throughout all this crap."

"I'm sure he'll be fine, Kaiguard." Zappondellyo said calmly. "Don't worry. Ace'll call you if there's anything wrong or if there's any imporvement."

"I sure hope he'll be okay because I do think that with that deadly plan Taiguard has in store, I think horror itself has taken its toll along with it. It won't make it worse! I know it!"
