Normal POV
An hour later, all five Elements had gathered at the warehouse.
"Remember, be quiet," whispered Lauren, and the rest nodded, except for Jacovie. Julie poked him.
"Jacovie, what's wrong?"
Jacovie stared at the tree. He could've sworn there was someone watching them from here...or maybe he was just too paranoid. Lauren and Jessica had warned him of this. He shook his head, and turned away. The crow took that chance to fly through a window, and into the warehouse.
"It's nothing."
Stephanie wasn't paying much attention to what Lauren was saying either. The wind had caught her attention, whispering words, words coming from within...
"It appears we have company," said Chase. (or was he Chase? Jessica didn't say...)
"It must be the cheeseball and company. Ooh, ooh, can I beat them up? Please, please, please?" This one, she didn't know.
"No. It isn't the monks this time. I presume that it is the ones that brought us here. And one of them is listening to us right now..."
Stephanie froze. How could he know?...
"Well, don't just stand there, you fool. Greet them properly."
"Uh, yes, sir, sorry, Chase, sir." She heard scurrying. The door opened in front of her. The others turned to see a red haired boy with spiral goggles on his head and a jet pack on his back. He smiled maliciously and (get this) bowed. Jessica recognized him as Jack Spicer. The others simply stared.
"Why don't you come in?" A woman appeared from behind him, and, again, only Jessica recognized her as Wuya. She was also grinning evilly. Lauren narrowed her eyes.
Who are you?" she asked.
"Wuya and Jack Spicer," said Jessica. Julie looked at her, puzzled. Jessica simply glared at them. "What do you want with us?"
"We want you to send us back!" proclaimed Jack, and he pointed a finger at Jacovie.
"You were the one who brought us here, didn't you?" he accused.
"What?" Jacovie's temper flared up, though he calmed when a water bubble threatened to pop over his head.
"Now, Jack, be nice to our...guests."
One more person came out of the shadows, and Chase Young appeared, his raven at his shoulder. He retained an indifferent face, unlike the other two.
"Come inside. We shall negotiate under better conditions."
Indeed, as he spoke, the temperature seemed to drop. Unwilling, but cold, the Elements stepped into the old warehouse (though Jessica was quite used to being cold). Chase led the way into the center of the warehouse, with Wuya walking next to him, unusually quiet.
"You are from this plane of existence, am I correct?" asked Chase.
"Yeah," replied Jessica. She didn't know why they were following a bad guy into an abandoned warehouse, but it was better than just sitting around outside.
"Well, then. You should know how to transfer us back to our plane, shouldn't you?"
"...Well, no...I don't even know how you got here in the first place. You're a cartoon character!"
Chase swiveled around, and the group stopped, with the exception of Jack Spicer, who hovered in the air via jet…pack…thing. He had a string in his hands. Julie stared at it suspiciously.
"But you shall help us get back."
"Oh, really? Or else what?" Jacovie shot back.
"Or else this!" Jack cackled and pulled the string. A light turned on to reveal the missing people, tied up and unconscious.
Silence. And then-
"Oh, you're screwed now!" Her voice rising with a crescendo, her wings spread out behind her, icy twin daggers forming in her hands as she rushed at Chase, Jessica slashed at the villain, who easily dodged. Swerving sharply, she turned only to be blocked by Wuya.
"And where do you think you're going?" she asked, gripping the girl's arm tightly. Struggling to let go, Jessica slid down to the floor, her blades fading away.
"Let her go!" a voice yelled out from behind the two, and the next moment, Wuya released Jessica, gaping for air, clutching at her throat. Rubbing her wrist, Jessica peered behind the old lady (sorry; can't find another adjective right now, I'm really, really, really cold and making typos abound anyway) and found her cousin, one fist held out in front of her, closed, as if she was choking someone…
"Thanks," she shouted, and ran off back in the direction of the others, who were now battling. Jack was not putting up much of a fight; he was already tied up with vines and tossed in a corner. Chase, on the contrary, was fighting expertly against Lauren and Jacovie, who, in turn, were holding up fairly well, considering the fact that they were only twelve years old, and inexperienced with their powers. Dodging an enormous leaf threatening to swallow him, he attempted to kick Jacovie, who dodged, but not quickly enough. Swearing, he rubbed his leg, and several nearby boxes burst into flame.
So did Chase's hair.
Unnoticed, Julie had slipped away, and was attempting to cut the strings holding the captives together. It was hard to do when all you have on your side is electricity. Finally, after a short while, the ropes fell off. Removing the gags from each person's mouth, she flew back to help. Though I don't think Chase is in any mood to fight, eheh…
'Tis a bonus chapter. Consider yeself lucky.
Ow…my head.
Groaning, Danger Duck pushed himself up off the cold ground. The pain in his head only seemed to increase as he sat up straighter. Clutching his head, he nearly fell down again, his vision blurred.
"Hold on…" A soft voice floated out from the blur in front of his eyes. He felt something trickling down his temple, effectively clearing the headache. His vision cleared up again, and he saw that he was surrounded by his teammates, and several human children. One girl was sitting right in front of him, water dripping from her fingertip. Her glasses reflected his confused aquamarine eyes.
"Are you okay?" she asked. Her brown eyes were concerned and worried. Duck found himself lost in little brown pools of dark chocolate.
It was a while before he remembered that he hadn't answered her question.
"Are you okay, Duck?" Ace said. "Hellooo?"
"Uh…Oh- I'm perfectly fine!" he said, jumping up. "I have to be, I'm a superhero after all!"
A boy with a distinctive forelock snickered, only to be slapped by a plant that came up stealthily behind him, another one of the girls glaring at him.
The first girl was searching around in a drawstring bag, and finally pulled out a small book with a picture of various Disney characters on it, and a black pen.
"Um…Can I…have your autograph?" she asked shyly. "I'm like, your BIGGEST fan, and you're like, my favorite out of all the Loonatics, and I totally agree with you, that you shouldn't have lost that bet to Tech, 'cause, you know," she said rapidly, "Tech woulda been Black Velvet's slave forever and ever, you know, and you're really hot and-" She stopped suddenly, blushing. "Okay, I think I should shut up now."
(BONUS STUFF)
-sound of five jaws dropping!-
"Duck has a fan?" Ace said incredulously.
"She thinks he's hot?" Lexi noted.
Meanwhile, over back with Jessica and Duck…
"Marry me," Duck said with his eyes sparkling.
"Omigosh, can I really?"
-gag reflex-
Ace appeared next to Duck. "Yeah, give us a second." Grabbing the waterfowl's arm, Ace pulled him away.
Meanwhile…
"Whoa, he totally proposed to you."
"Oh my bagel!"
"SHUT UP WITH THE BAGEL, ALREADY!"

I didn't want to imply any pairings. Yet. YET!
Five chapters, less than two days. Niiiice. And I packed in a lotta words too.

I think I have all the credits and notes... Okay, then. -salutes- See ya next chapter!
