TA DAAA! I'm back! Okay, so this time I'm explaining more about Unknown, since you get to meet them all in this chapter. And, I don't know how the transporter moves through things. Its the future, kay, so I don't know how anything works there. Unless its things Ive invented. Enjoy!!! (BTW Think of Danny's hair Alice style, okay?)

Loonatics belong to Warner Bros

Unknown and its members belong to me


Chapter 4: The biggest game of hide and seek

The transporter lights made the figures easy to see. Ducks gaze shifted over to Danny. His mouth fell right open.

Next to him was a female duck. She had black feathers, like him, but had a light orange bill with a shade of pink. Her hair was bright red and short, spiking out in every direction. She noticed he was staring at her. She turned and looked right back, an eyebrow raised. "What?"

"Oh, er, nothing..uh..." He stammered, wiping the drool from his mouth. A little grin appeared on her face. "Your, just...um...really pretty..."

It was silent for a moment. Then Danny started laughing uncontrollably. "THAT'S a new one!" She giggled, holding her sides. Some laughter floated over from behind Slam. The Loonatics turned and saw a female roadrunner, with light blond hair, giggling from where Angela was standing.

Rev just stared with wide eyes.

The transporter jolted and came to a sudden stop. The group piled out, except for Duck and Rev, who stumbled out in a daze. "Somebody's got a crush..." Kylie murmured to Tech. Tech snorted with laughter.

The Unknown base looked completely different from the Loonatics HQ. Sure, they had all the high tech equipment, but they had more of a, well, homey touch to it. There were couches and bean bags, a pile of newspapers, and even a billboard. Tech peered closley at the photos on the board. They were all photos of famous reporters.

"So, we have some guests." An eerie voice said from the corner of the room.

Everybody turned and saw a cat. At least, that's what it looked like. One side of it was a cats body, with short brown fur, but the other side was a robot. It had a huge muscly arm, and lime green wires going everywhere across it. "Hey Mr. V." Kylie laughed. She motioned to the Loonatics. "These are the Loonatics, the people with the powers."

Mr. V smiled. "Charmed to meet you." He said in a British accent. He looked at the Loonatics carefully. He looked at Tech, then he stopped. "Tech? The Tech E. Coyote?"

Tech broke into a grin. "Charles Vice?" Tech walked up to Mr. V and shook his hand in a matey way. "Its been ages buddy! How ya doing?"

Kylie cocked her head to the side, puppy dog style. "You guys know each other?"

"You kidding?" Tech replied, almost singing in happiness. "Charles and I went to University together!"

"Aah... University years..." Charles sighed, "Good times, good times..."

Kylie looked around the base, a confused look on her face. "Wheres Shadow and Valk?"

"Out for pizza." Danny replied, bouncing up and down. "We order Meat lovers."

"My favorite!" Kylie replied, licking her lips.

"Which reminds me..." Angie said, skipping over to a cupboard, "He asked me to set out drinks." She faced the group. "Do you guys want soda?"

"Yeah." Everyone replied, nodding. Charles shook his head. "No thanks. Water would be nice."

"Okay." Angie opened the cupboard and took out some cans of soda. She placed them on the table.

"Uh, I hate to interrupt, doll," Ace pouted, "But, eh, those are warm."

"They won't be for long!" She sang out, and held her hand above the drinks. The tips of her fingers flashed gently, and shot a miniature blizzard at the cans of drink. They started to freeze up. "Ice cold!" She laughed, looking at their shocked faces. "Hope you like em freezing!"

Tech chuckled merrily. So! Kylie and the Loonatics weren't the only ones with awesome abilities. Duck glanced at Danny, who noticed and look at him questioningly. "Uh, just wondering, whats your power?" He asked.

A cellphone started to ring. She put her hand in her pocket and held up one finger. "One sec." She flipped open a cellphone and talked into it.

"Hello?......Oh hey mum! Whats up?..." She started to walk across the room, "...Yeah....Aw no...he okay?..." She walked towards a wall, "...Okay that's good...ow....is he better now???..." She paused right in front of the wall. She started to laugh. Then she started walking UP the wall. The Loonatics watched, open mouthed, as she walked up the wall and onto the ceiling. "Okay then...Alright...mu...mum, tell dad bye okay?....ye...yeah...okay....love you...bye!" Then she hung up. She looked at her audience. "What did you ask again Duck?"

He gaped for a moment. "Uh..... never mind." Then the door flew open. Everybody turned to see two figures in the door way.

One figure was a white tiger, wearing the Unknown uniform, but with a silver scarf. Next to him was a giant bat, also wearing the uniform, but with a black scarf. He was carrying 5 pizza boxes. They must of been Shadow and Valk. The tiger spoke in a french accent "Ah, we have guests, yes?"

Kylie laughed and hugged the tiger. "Hey Shadow!"

"Mademoiselle Kylie! Lovely to see you again! Did you have a nice trip?"

"Yep. These guys are the Loonatics." She motioned to them. Rev waved.

"Ah, the Loonatics. I wondered when I would meet you, my friends." The bat said, in a Pennsylvanian accent. He placed the Pizza boxes gently on the table. Tech guessed that this guy was Valk. He was obliviously the leader, the way the Unknown members looked at him in awe. Slam eyed the pizza boxes hungrily. Valk laughed loudly. "Dig in my friend. No invitation needed."

Slam didn't wait. Neither did Charles. They both pounced on the table, the girls laughing at the scene. "Thats our Mr. Vacume..."

"Who's Mr. Vacume?" Duck asked.

"Thats our nickname for Charles," Kylie explained, quickly snatching a slice of pizza off the table. "He eats so much we usually have a whole box to ourselves, while he has about ten!"

Lexi laughed. "Like Slam!"

Shadow snickered and pronounced a box of pizza from behind his back. "We brought a separate box for us, on Charles circumstances."

While Charles and Slam were eating the 5 other pizzas, everybody else sat down in a bean bag or chair and introduced themselves.

ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

Charles was asleep under the table, and Slam was snoring on the couch in the back of the room. Everybody else was chatting.

"Can I ask ya a question, Valk?" Ace asked the leader.

"Yes, Mr. Ace, what is your requirement?"

"Well, why did ya guys get together as a group anyways? Like, why aren't ya super hero's, like us?"

The group fell silent, the Unknown members glancing at each other. Valk looked at Danny, who nodded, and turned to face Ace.

"Well, you see, when the meteor hit Acmetropolis, as you know, many people were affected by the radiation. I was already acquainted with Charles and Shadow, so we met one day, and noticed our powers. Charles was turned into a mutant, unfortunately, so he was equipped with super strength and intelligence. Shadow was given the power of, well, shadows, control over the darkness, things relating to that subject. But I, was given the power of the elements."

"You control the elements?" Ace exclaimed. Kylie grinned a bit. It was funny to see Ace act like that.

"Yes, and their very hard to control, since their power is strong, but I have started to learn how to control the element of air. But going back on the subject," Valk continued, "Charles mentioned that an old family friend, Chika, had disappeared during the meteor crash. He was concerned, so we started a search. But, when we found Chika, we found the others.

"We all found out that we had some powers of our own. Danny's ability to walk up walls, Angela's control over Ice, Kylie's ability to walk through walls, see through objects, and to give the illusion of pain..."

"WAAAHHH?!?!" Tech said aloud. He turned to look at Kylie, who was looking extremely embarrassed with herself.

"I was...going to tell you..." She mumbled, staring at the floor. "...But I didn't know how to explain it. And, I can only create the illusion of pain. I cant really harm someone. Like, I can give them the illusion of headaches, broken bones, sprains, stomach aches..."

"AHA!" Duck suddenly shouted, jumping on his feet. He pointed a finger accusingly at Kylie. "YOU were the one that gave me the stomach ache! YOU were the one who caused me all that pain!"

"YOU DESERVED IT!" She suddenly screamed, also standing up. She glared at him angrily, eyes burning a hole in his head. He whimpered and cringed under her glare. "YOU ARE SO...SELFISH! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST TEASE ME BECAUSE I'M NEW, BECAUSE IM DIFFERENT?! WELL GUESS WHAT, I TRIED TO BE NICE, I REALLY DID! BUT YOU HAD TO BE SO NASTY...YOU...YOU..."

"Kylie. Sit down. Your creating a disturbance." Valk calmly said, placing a hand on Kylie's shoulder. She stopped yelling and looked around, ashamed. She sat down and placed her head in her hands, sobbing. Danny rubbed her back. "Sorry, but, we can't let Kylie get annoyed. When she gets very annoyed with someone, her illusion ability goes out of control, creating pain for everybody who surrounds her. The pain she felt when she saw her father die..."

"She...saw her dad die?" Lexi whispers, a shocked look on her face.

"Yes, and she was only young when she observed the incident. Her father was run over by a car, as he sacrificed himself to save her. It caused her great grief, so we usually choose not to mention that time." It was silent for a moment. "But," Valk continued, trying, and failing, to smile at Lexi, "I shall continue the story."

"So, we joined as a group. We did consider becoming hero's for awhile, but we found we were being stalked. The man had been following the girls for awhile, trying to..well..kill them. His name is Derek Altomo. He is a scientist, with plans to create a drug which can give the user powers. His plan is evil, and should never even be thought of. Many times, he almost succeeded in catching the girls, so we had to hide. We were driven underground, to never return to the surface. As long as he is still alive, we can't return. It is not safe for us."

"Woah." Lexi murmured. Everybody thought for a moment. It was depressing to know that they might never return. Ace stared upwards at the ceiling. Then a sudden thought occurred to him.

"Hang on a sec. Kyles, your group has to stay underground, but when we met you, you were on the beach. Why's that?"

Kylie thought for a moment, playing with a lose strand of hair. "Well, the beach is sorta a haven to me. Something I can't let go of, even if I try. And, if we are alone, it is safe to travel to the surface. I love the sky, the stars, the sun, things you never see down here. I love freedom. Then again, who doesn't? I love life, adrenaline, all the things you can't find down here. Down here may be safe, but theirs no... freedom."

Everyone was quiet. They could understand that. Who doesn't want to be free? Duck stared at Kylie. The tears she was crying a little while ago were still on her face, even if she had a smile on her face. He felt ashamed. "Kylie..." he murmured. Everybody stared at Duck expectantly. "I'm...sorry. I didn't know that..what happened to your dad...it's just...uh...sorry." He closed his eyes.

She smiled. "Its okay Duck. Just...don't do it again, 'kay?"

He sniffed, looking up at her. "'Kay."

Valk's eyes shifted to Tech, who was staring at Kylie with a dazed look on his face. Valk smiled to himself. He knew that look. He knew that stare. He knew that smile. Tech had a crush on Kylie. Valk chuckled quietly. After the years of seeing people fall in love, he knew that stare anywhere. He thought for a moment. Kylie loved the surface. And he hated to see her sad. She was like a daughter to him. Then he had an idea. "Kylie..."

Everybody turned to look at Valk, who was still chuckling. "How would you like to go to the surface, and help these guys?" Everybody stared at Kylie and Valk, who were staring at each other. "If, its okay with Ace, of course." He quickly amended.

Ace grinned. "Hey, we already asked Doc. Its Kylie who should decide." He looked at her expectantly. Everybody's eyes switched to her.

She sat their and thought for a minute. Everybody was silent, waiting for an answer. Then she looked up and giggled.

"Everybody already knows the answer to that, right?"


Lol, sorta a cliff hanger, is-int it? Valk's pretty smart, eh? He was practically the only one to notice the little spark between Tech and Kylie Oh, yeah, I noticed that I might be offending some people about something. Listen; I am not offending any British people. One of my best friends is British, so I am not offending anyone, okay? This is purely a fan story. Please review, okay? Cya!
