DISCLAIMER: We don't own the Loonatics Unleashed concept or characters. But maybe we could buy it from WB if we saved enough money...Wait, what am I talking about again?
(Last time...)
They just had to give Tech more time, the male rabbit decided. The coyote would eventually figure it out. Shuddering, Ace prayed for it to be sooner rather than later. He had no idea what would happen if Zodavia called with a mission before this situation was solved.
Chapter Two – by Jessi the Fangirl
And that, unfortunately, was exactly what happened, one week later.
"Sounds like Zadavia's ring," Ace said, less-than-calmly, looking up from his toast.
"Not now!" groaned Duck, glancing down at his clothes. "What if Misty Breeze sees me!"
"Who cares about her?" replied Lexi, earning her a glare from the mallard. "Shouldn't we be worrying about what's going on outside?"
"Not-really-hard-to-see," said Rev quickly, running to the window. "There's-a-lot-of-smoke-coming-from-Acme-Central-Park-and-I-guess-it-must-be-on-fire-because-otherwise-there-wouldn't-be-smoke-coming-from-there-unless-it's-a-bonfire-but-then-again-who-would-start-a-bonfire-right-now?"
"Not much for me to say," said Zadavia, as they walked into that…meeting place… "Rev's said it all already. But where is Tech?" she added, glancing at the scientist's empty seat.
"Still working on figuring out what's wrong with our uniforms…Oh, here he is," said Ace as a tired looking Tech walked in and sat down.
"What's wrong with your uniforms?" asked Zadavia.
Tech hesitated before launching into a complete yet concise explanation of what had happened the last few weeks.
"So I really don't know what to do," he finished a short while later.
Zadavia was silent for the duration of the story, and when Tech stopped, she finally spoke up.
"Why didn't you just ask me for help?" she asked, one eyebrow raised.
Silence.
"Uh…"
"Gee, and I thought you were the resident genius, Tech," said Duck.
"Well, I don't see you coming up with any brilliant ideas," Tech shot back hotly.
"Excuse me, but-"
"Quiet!" said Zadavia, glaring at Duck, and silence fell once again.
"I can send you new uniforms if necessary, but it will take some time to reach you. In the meantime, though, you will have to take care of a little problem." A screen dropped down from the ceiling and flickered to life, showing Acme Central Park, quite on fire, as Rev guessed correctly. Random civilians were running into each other, screaming.
"As you can clearly see, Acme Central Park is on fire. My sensors indicate that there are two people still stuck in the fire. You can still use your powers without your uniforms, am I correct?" They nodded. "Good. I'm counting on you to fix this, Loonatics," stated Zadavia. "Zadavia out."
"Well, you heard her," said Ace. "Let's jet!"

People were still running away from the park, screaming. An acrid smell of burnt material met their noses as the approached the park. The cause of the distraction wasn't too hard to find: what seemed like an inferno was blazing away in the midst of everything.
"Alrighty, let's get to work!" shouted Ace. "See if water'll take it out!"
Before anyone could react however, the fire suddenly fizzed out, leaving a lot of smoke behind.
Coughing, Ace waved the smoke away, to no avail. However, he could distinctly make out figures lying on the ground. Stepping forward, he heard a crunch. Lifting his foot, he stopped a pair of cracked glasses. As he picked them up he heard voices.
"Aw, crud, where are we now?"
"I think we burned a park down…The poor park!"
"Yeah, yeah, too bad about it, now help me find my glasses."
Both of the voices sounded like girls. The smoke now dissipating quickly, Ace squinted a little, making out two figures, one on the ground, presumably the one who was looking for her glasses. The other was standing up, waving away the smoke. He stepped forward again.
"Hey, there's someone, maybe he knows where we can find a dimensional portal!" said the upright figure suddenly. The smoke cleared, and a blue feathered Roadrunner emerged. "Hello, do you know- oh, those are Jay's glasses!" she exclaimed.
"What about my glasses?" said the other person. She stood up and squinted at Ace.
"These yours, then?" he said, and handed them to her. "Er…I sorta stepped on them….sorry."
She squinted at them, shrugged, and put them on the bridge of her nose. "So, mind telling us where we are? And the time, if possible."
"You're in Acmetropolis," Ace replied, slightly confused. "And it's-" -he looked at his watch- "-half past ten." Before anyone else could say anything else, however, a jumble of familiar voices cut sharply through the air.
"Come down from that tree, Duck!" (Lexi?)
"Yeah! Now!" (Sounds like Slam…)
"I'M NOT COMING DOWN UNTIL SOMEONE GIVES ME MY CLOTHES BACK!"
"Gee, isn't Jessica going to be mad when she hears 'bout this," the first girl mumbled. 'Jay' grinned.
"Then let's not tell her, Holly. I think she might just kill us for real if we did."

I am so sorry I took so freakin' long writing this! So sorry!
