Well...I knew this would happen...I'm falling out of my "i got back into Loonatics" again. But, I will not give up! I will see this fic through! Thanks for all the reviews, favs and alerts. Please do not just fav. Favs with reviews mean more to me than favs alone. Although I am sad that this story isn't getting nearly enough reviews as my other ones, though I can't blame everyone since Loonatics doesn't seem to be considered one of the more popular series out there.

LANA: Thank you. I think you'll really like this chapter too ;) And don't worry about the bunnies. This fic and my planned sequel fic will include their romance as well, but it will remain secondary to TechxSkye
drk: Thanks
Spud: Thanks, and yeah I just figured if the episode didn't have TechxSkye moments/wasn't key to the series plot/wasn't an episode I really liked, I saw no need to do it. And I'm glad you think the changes are good. I'm trying to add in Skye to the series plot without making it too..."heavy"? I guess. Do you know what I mean?
Champion: Thank you!

Normal POV
"Hey is it just me or is it coming down hard outside?" asked Lexi looking out the window.
"Yeah and the wind's getting pretty rough too. Doesn't look like our take-out is going to make it," said Skye.
"Oh great, the TV's gone dead!" cried Duck. "Now I'm going to miss Misty Breeze!" he wailed.
"How can you stand that woman? She's so…" started Lexi.
"Egotistical?" added Skye.
"Exactly."
"Oh please, you girls are just jealous that she's more popular than you two." Said Duck.
"Yeah, that's the reason…" muttered Skye.
"Come on, let's help the guys fix the satellite so you won't miss your precious Mister Breeze," said Lexi. The three of them made their way up to the roof as the rain poured down hard and the wind nearly blew them off the roof.
"How long does it take to fix the gosh darn satellite dish?" cried Duck annoyed. "I've probably missed Misty Breeze's forecast, by now." All of a sudden, a woman with turquoise hair landed in the satellite dish and slid right down grabbing onto the antenna for dear life. "Gasp! Misty Breeze!" he squealed.
"Don't just stand there! Get me down from here!" Misty shouted. She suddenly lost her grip and slid down the satellite and into Duck's arms.
"I'm your biggest fan, Danger Duck, at your service, hot stuff," he said with a wink.
"Why thank you." She said getting out of Duck's arms and striking a pose as if the paparazzi would soon arrive to take her picture. "Don't get too close," she added.
"So how did someone like you end up so far away from a camera?" asked Lexi with a smirk.
"Well if you must know, we were about to broadcast the weather at City Hall Plaza when my useless assistant sent a tornado after me and next thing you know I'm here with Danger Dork," replied Misty with no gratitude whatsoever.
"We better get over there stat," said Ace. They strapped on their jetpacks and made their way to City Hall Plaza in the horrid weather.
"I just don't understand; who would want to harm the wonderful Misty Breeze?" asked Duck, smitten.
"Anyone who's ever met her?" added Lexi.
"Jealous?" he asked.
"We're superheroes, Duck, we get enough attention as it is," added Skye.
"Loonatics," Zadavia's image suddenly appeared on several television screens on the sides of buildings as they continued flying," there have been many reports of strange weather phenomenon materializing all over the planet.
"Not offense, Zadavia, but isn't monitoring the weather more of a job for-" started Ace.
"Misty Breeze?" asked Duck.
"Not this kind of weather. You'll see what I mean when you get there. You better move quickly Loonatics, Zadavia out."
Once they arrived, the weather had calmed down and they found a large van turned over on its side. Slam lifted the van and a dark skinned man in green with yellow shades fell out and landed on his back. He seemed unharmed and was mumbling something as if he were in a trance.
"…Sorry…" mumbled Slam.
"Paula…assistant…script…Misty…wet hair…crazy weather…storm…Misty gone!" he cried.
"I'm gonna need more word there. How about some adjectives or verbs?" asked Ace.
"I've got a verb for you Ace, look!" cried Lexi, pointing to the top of City Hall.
Atop the building stood a blue skinned woman with purple hair, wearing a purple dress with glowing purple eyes. She levitated over the city safely in a glowing oval surrounded by lightning and dark clouds. "Sorry Loonatics, but today's story is all about me!" she shouted. She raised her arms as lightning cracked in the sky. "Back off! Cloud creatures, put these heroes in a fog!"
"That's her! That's Paula!" cried the man, just before running away.
"Amazing!" cried Tech in awe as large titans made of dark purple clouds materialized around them.
"I may be new to this, but I don't think you're supposed to compliment the villain, Tech," said Skye.
"Oh so scary, what are you gonna do? Stop us from getting a tan?" asked Duck, unimpressed. One of the cloud creatures wrapped its giant hand tightly around Duck's body. "Or maybe stop us from breathing!"
"What's the plan, Ace?" asked Tech.
"Kick some cloud!" Ace jumped up to a cloud creature and kicked its face off. Just as he was about to land, the creature swiftly grabbed Ace's foot and held him high. "Hey, watch the foot! It's lucky!"
Slam came running up and bit through the creature's arm, releasing Ace, who fell to the ground. Just as Slam charged at another cloud creature, one suddenly tackled him from the side.
"Now, here's something you don't see everyday. I may be wrong but it looks like they're alive, but how can that be? Clouds are just for making rain, not for striking terror in the hearts of the city," Rev babbled while running around a cloud creature, which slammed its fist into the ground, tripping Rev.
"How are we supposed to fight these things? Everything we hit them with just goes right through them!" cried Skye, shooting the cloud creatures with her blaster, but as she just stated, all their attempts were in vain.
"Well, when someone comes up with a better idea, let me know!" cried Duck, shooting an egg through a cloud creature's head, which only went right through it without doing any damage.
"I think a little fog is in order," cackled Weathervane. She raised her arms and purple fog descended from the sky and surrounded the Loonatics and the cloud creatures. The fog proved to be far more effective, greatly limiting the Loonatics vision.
Tech was suddenly slammed to the side by a cloud creature and crashed right into Skye. The two rolled on the ground for a couple of feet and when they stopped, Tech wound up on top of Skye. They both slowly opened their eyes and felt something pressed against their lips. Skye stared blankly at Tech as their lips parted. It felt like time had frozen all around them and they paid no attention to the cloud creatures around them. Skye hadn't had much experience in the dating field, that downside came with robotic limbs. No boy would even come close to her once they saw her prosthetics. It scared them off. And when Lexi brought it up that Tech has a crush on her, she couldn't help but think about them being together. And Lexi's theory proved correct when a simple kiss on the cheek from Skye broke Tech free from Black Velvet's hypnosis. But that kiss…
"Whoa…" she whispered in a hushed breath. There were truly no words to express how she felt when their lips touched.
Tech slowly lifted himself off Skye, trying to hide the red, warm blush creeping onto his face. Even though he had only met her a short time ago, his feelings for her grew rapidly and being this close to her right now was almost a dream come true for him. But as wonderful as it felt to be this close to her, Tech felt himself overcome with self-consciousness and a nervous feeling building in his stomach. He had never been this closet another girl before, so the feeling was very new to him.
"Uh…sorry," was all he could muster right now as he felt all the energy leave his throat, no longer able to produce solid words. Before Skye could congregate a response, Ace's laser vision went right through a cloud creature and struck Tech's tail. He jumped into the air, screaming while clutching his tail. "Yeow!"
Tech and Skye quickly regained their composure, remembering the dire situation they were in at the moment. Thankfully, everyone else was preoccupied and hadn't noticed their mishap.
"Woops! Very sorry Tech," said Ace.
"Ace my internal radar can't distinguish what's cloud creature and what's plain old fog and it's getting really hard to avoid their GRIP!" cried Rev just a cloud creature grabbed him.
"Slam help him out!" cried Ace.
"…you the man!" he mumbled. Slam spun around in his tornado, sucking up all the fog, revealing the cloud creatures previously hidden in the fog.
Lexi cart wheeled away from a cloud creature and eyed the fire hydrant between them. She fired a Brain Blast at the hydrant causing it to erupt water straight into the cloud creature. "Clouds absorb water! And to think I only got a B in high school science," said Lexi.
"That's great Lex, but are you sure you want to make them bigger?" asked Ace.
The cloud creature wailed as it grew in size and became consumed by the water and it's own growing body. Its face disappeared and the cloud rose up with the other lifeless clouds covering the sky.
"Well if they do that then I guess we want to make them bigger," said Skye.
"Oh! I want to try that I want to try that! Let me try that! Here I go!" cried Rev, running to the fountain and splashing a mountain of water into a cloud creature's face.
"Water egg, please be a water egg." Duck formed an egg in his hand and stuck it in the cloud monster's mouth. The cloud expanded and exploded an orange liquid. Duck stuck out his tongue. "Hm…orange juice works too."
"You pesky duck!" cried Paula as she shot a lightning bolt near Duck, causing him to jump back and into Slam's arms. "You may have won this round, but I'm the star here. You!" Paula pointed to the cameraman on the roof with her. "Keep that camera pointed at me! Hear me, Acmetropolis! I am Weathervane. And today's forecast calls for a 100% chance of destruction! And I've got a special forecast for you Loonatics and it's a real shocker!" Weathervane cackled as she fired a giant bolt of lightning at the Loonatics.
Tech immediately pressed a button on his jetpack and a lightning rod emerged, drawing the power of lightning bolt. He cried out in pain as the lightning bolt reduced him to a pile of dust.
"Nice lightning rod Tech, that's definitely gonna earn you some vacation time." Said Ace.
Tech's Molecular Regeneration kicked in. "Can I take it right now?"
"Hm…let me think about that…no!"
"Tech, are you ok?" asked Skye in worry, gripping his arm tightly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. One of my powers lets me regenerate no matter how badly I get hurt," he answered.
"But that doesn't mean it didn't hurt!"
"All the elements are at my command! I don't need to report the story. I am the story! It'll make everyone forget about the Misty Breeze!" she shouted at the cameraman.
"Forget Misty Breeze? Why I'd sooner forget what's her name here," said Duck.
"Ah!" Weathervane screamed. "Time for you to be gone with the wind!" She waved her hands and a strong wind suddenly formed in the plaza, sucking the Loonatics up into a tornado. Ace managed to grab onto a lamp post while Duck quacked out of the tornado and Slam was blown into a wall.
"Ace! Help!" cried Lexi. Ace shot his grappling gun and it grabbed onto Lexi's waist. She grabbed onto Rev just as Ace pulled her out of the tornado. Rev landed on the ground with a thud while Lexi landed right into Ace's arms. "Thanks, Ace," she breathed, "you can put me down now…"
"Oh, sorry, Lexi," he said, putting her down.
Tech had a similar idea and pulled out his grappling gun. He quickly reached for Skye and wrapped his arm around her waist before fired his grappling gun. It grabbed onto a statue and pulled them to safety.
"I was gonna get you next," said Ace.
"I got impatient," replied Tech.
Slam spun around the tornado, dispersing it before it hurt anybody. Bystanders all cheered as Slam raised his arms in victory.
"They defeated my clouds, my lightning, my tornado! But can they defeat all of them at once? I release all of the elements upon you! Bring me Misty Breeze or start building an ark!" she shouted, striking lightning onto buildings and a railway track, stopping a running train as it went by as the last car hung over the edge.
"Let's go Loonatics! We've got a train to catch!" cried Ace.
Slam and Tech used their powers to lift the train while Ace, Lexi and Skye cleared the tracks of rubble. Once Slam lifted the one car hanging over the edge, Tech used his magnetism to slowly lower the train onto the tracks. The train doors opened and everyone cheered on the Loonatics. They flew back to the plaza to confront Weathervane.
"Ok Weathervane, your forecast calls for-" started Ace.
"Ah, wait! Please don't hurt me!" squealed the cameraman.
"Aw, I didn't even get to finish my line. Where'd she go?" asked Ace.
"I don't know!" he answered hysterical. "She just flew up and vanished!"
"We should probably evacuate the area," said Ace.
"The rain is coming down hard. If it continues, the entire city could flood," said Skye.
"But the whole area?" asked Lexi.
"Just to be safe, I got a feeling something big is coming."
"Suspicions confirmed Ace," Zadavia spoke, her hologram appearing in front of the team. "There's an unnatural energy force brewing in intensity thirty five miles from the coast."
"That's gotta be Weathervane," said Ace. "Let's get going!" They all flew towards the harbor.
"With all this water, we could sure use a duck," said Lexi.
"Where is Duck anyway?" asked Ace.
"Wanna bet he went after Weathervane?" asked Skye.
"So if we find Duck, we'll find Weathervane," said Ace. They flew out into the ocean where a gigantic purple cloud with lightning was forming. They spotted Duck hovering under it and flew over to him.
"Duck! What are you doing? Where's Weathervane?" asked Lexi.
"I really hope that's not her…" said Ace. Hidden within the clouds stood a large black and purple dragon with huge wings. Weathervane cackled as the dragon roared. The dragon opened its mouth and spat lightning at the group, who dispersed. The dragon ignored the Loonatics and flew back towards the city, spitting lightning at buildings.
"I don't think a busted fire hydrant is going to fix this mess," said Lexi.
"Hey, Tech, you wouldn't happen to have a giant hair dryer would you?" asked Ace.
"If you're thinking of evaporating something that big, you'll need a hair dryer about a mile wide," he replied.
"And even though I'm sure he could make one, we just don't have that amount of time," said Skye.
"Yeah, Skye's right. Hey Rev, any idea where we can find a hot spot within 100 miles?" asked Ace.
"Oh man, do I have a fiery hot spot for you guys, this is gonna burn the hair off if you get too close, this place is scorching!" rambled Rev.
"Great, now all we need is some bait," said Ace, turning his head to Duck.
"Why is everyone looking at me? Wait…let me guess, me again," muttered Duck.
"You sure this'll work, Tech?" asked Ace as they all flew towards a small remote island with a volcano.
"If the lava depth charge is in sync with the targeting mechanism, there should be enough combustion to-"
"English English, Tech!"
"Yes, it should work," added Skye.
"Wait, you actually understood what I was saying?" asked Tech, surprised.
"Of course, it's not rocket science."
"Wow…you're amazing…" he said staring at her.
"Um…thanks," she said, turning her head away to hide a blush.
"Tech! Are you listening to me?" asked Ace.
"Huh? Sorry, what did you say?" asked Tech.
"I asked if that will activate the volcano."
"Your guess is as good as mine," Tech replied. Tech landed his aircraft and stepped out.
"We better hurry, Weathervane's getting closer," said Skye.
"Right, Slam can withstand the volcanic heat better than any of us. You need to take this container up to the volcano and when I saw 'now' drop it into the volcano. Understand? Now," he said.
Slam nodded and mumbled before reaching down and pressing the button.
"Slam! No!" they all cried. The time suddenly flicked on and began counting down from thirty.
"No, not 'now' now, 'now' later!" cried Tech.
"Just get it up there, now!" cried Ace.
Slam picked up the container and dashed off to the volcano. He managed to make it to the top with time to spare and threw the container into the magma. Duck managed to lead the Storm Dragon to the top of the volcano and teleported to the coast to regroup with the others just as the volcano exploded right onto Weathervane, dispersing the weather clouds. Lava flowed down from the volcano and onto the lush forest of the island.
"My portalab, I just built it!" cried Tech as lava flowed towards it.
"Forget the portalab, Tech! We've gotta move!" shouted Ace.
"No…it never harmed anyone!" Tech wailed as they flew from the island back to Acmetropolis.
"Wow, he really needs to get out more," said Ace.
"Does he always act like this when something of his gets destroyed?" asked Skye.
"You're lucky, this is one of the good days," replied Lexi. They landed back in City Hall Plaza as Misty's camera crew was getting ready for another shot. "I'm picking up Zadavia's signal."
As if on cue, Zadavia's image suddenly appeared on the television screen on the TV crew van. "There are no traces left of the Storm Dragon, but Weathervane has yet to reappear, we can only assume she escaped. Good work, Loonatics. Zadavia-"
Misty Breeze suddenly exited the van and saw Zadavia on the screen. "Who is this? I'm the only pretty face on this channel!" she shouted, turning the screen off.
"Misty Breeze…" sighed Duck. "This is my chance!" He ran up to Misty and interrupted her broadcast.
"CUT! Can I help you?" she asked annoyed as Duck stared at her with googly eyes.
"It's me, Duck. Remember? You're number one fan. I was just wondering if I could get you to sign a few things."
"Ok, fine. But make it quick!"
Duck pulled out several fan merchandise and began handing it to her for her to sign. "Here's a fan club photo, your official weather cookbook, your commemorative beach towel,"
"WHAT ELSE?" she shouted.
"Your inflatable beach ball," Duck continued.
"How many of these things do you have?"
"Oh, not many," Duck said as a pickup truck pulled up to them and dumped a pile of Misty Breeze fan merchandise. "Just all your posters, all your books, chewing gum, your eighth grade report card, all those little shaky snow globes of you in that tiny parka. Just the essentials."
"Why don't we leave these two lovebirds alone?" suggested Ace.
As they made their way back to HQ, Tech and Skye accidently bumped into each other. "Oh, sorry," they both said.
"We should…probably head back to HQ now…" said Skye.
"Yeah…yeah right," he agreed. They stared at each other awkwardly before silently turning away from each other.
So apparently back when I wrote this chapter, that was what I had planned for the cloud fighting scene. And I was watching this episode again and noticed that Weathervane is played by Kaley Cuoco...Penny from Big Bang Theory! I never noticed it before now lol XD I guess it's cuz I'm used to seeing her in live acting and not just hearing her voice...esp as a villain.
So I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Please review!
Next Chapter: Sypher
