The gang woke up to another day,
"Hey, today's the anniversary of the meteor,"
"So it is,"
"Happy meteor anniversary,"
"Same here," Paula exclaimed; they suddenly heard screaming & looked up to see a meteor shower. Tech noticed someone trying to avoid the rocks; it was in fact a 9-tailed cheetah with green eyes & bird wings coming out of his back wearing a gray shirt, gray pants, a green tailring on each tail, & gray shoes. Tech sped forward & saved the cheetah; the coyote stopped near the team with the cheetah,
"Are you okay, Prince Lake?"
"Yes,-thank-you;-how-do-you-know-my-name?"
"I'm a friend of your brother, Knuckles; my name is Tech E. Coyote," the golden-yellow hybrid smiled,
"Well,-if-Knuckles-allows-you-to-call-him-by-his-name-then-I don't-see-why-you-can't-do-the-same-for-me," Tech smiled at the hybrid; Bridget walked over & hugged the hybrid,
"My name is Bridget Bunny; this is Paula Hayes, Dagger Duck, Stella Stork, Rip Runner, Luthor Coyote, Millie Le Pew, Paprika Pussycat, Nology the Chao, & Chocola the Chao,"
"They-are-cute-chao," Nology thanked him & Rip looked at the hybrid,
"What are you doing here all alone, Lake?"
"Cable,-Honeydew,-&-Charcoal-have-been-taken-hostage-&-I-was-going-to-rescue-them,"
"After what happened, I don't think you can handle it on your own but Nology & I will go ahead & rescue them for you," Tech exclaimed; he suddenly heard Rip speaking,
"Chocola & I will go too; we're up to the challenge,"
"Not to mention, you'll need Rip to help you prove Knux's message," Bridget pointed out, causing Lake to be confused,
"Knux's-message?"
"Yes, Knux's message was for both you & Cable; he said that not all coyotes & chameleons are heartless killers," Lake knew where this was going,
"Let-me-guess,-Knuckles-has-a-chameleon-friend,"
"Well, yeah Espio's a chameleon; but he's also a good friend,"
"Okay,-I'll-give-him-a-chance," Tech smiled,
"Thanks Lake, know where we can start looking?"
"Well,-all-I-know-is-that-they-were-all-taken-into-space," Rip & Tech nodded; the 4 friends flew away while the rest of the gang escorted Lake back home.
Rip, Chocola, Tech, & Nology searched throughout space; Tech suddenly stopped,
"I found their locations, follow me," the coyote led them to a planet where everything as green,
"A planet of vegetation,"
"Reminds me of that 1 planet where we had to search for Charmy," Tech mumbled; they flew around & saw a statue that looked like it was made of stone. They flew down to the statue & landed near it; Tech reached out to touch it but once his fingertips were only 2 inches away from it, he felt a bit of energy pulse through the statue. They stood back as the statue shook violently before the stone broke to reveal a 9-tailed Siamese cat with bird wings coming out of her back wearing a golden-yellow tank-top, golden-yellow bell-bottoms, a blue tailring on each tail, & golden-yellow go-go boots,
"Thank-you-both-for-rescuing-me,"
"Well, actually; all I did was almost touch the stone,"
"That's-how-we-are-released-from-our-stoney-prisons;-I'm-sure-you-2-have-met-my-brother,-Lake," Tech smiled,
"Well, yeah; not to mention, I'm a friend of Knuckles," the cream & chocolate hybrid gasped,
"Is-Knuckles-alright?"
"Of course, he even gave me a few gifts," Nology appeared & Tech created a ball of ice in his hand,
"Why,-that's-excellent-news-&-as-a-token-of-my-graditude-for-your-valiantness," she placed her hand on Tech's forehead & shut her eyes; Tech closed his eyes & energy pulsed through his body. When he opened his eyes, he held out his hands & a few vines slithered over, tossing Tech & Rip into the air before catching them; the vines then set the 2 friends down on their feet; Tech looked at the hybrid,
"Thank you, Honeydew," Rip looked at the coyote,
"Who's next?"
"Charcoal," Tech answered as Honeydew flew off, heading for home; the 4 friends flew to another planet. This planet contained a volcano; Rip wasn't happy,
"Well, this looks like a real hot spot,"
"There she is," Tech exclaimed while pointing to a statue on the top; Rip noticed it,
"I ain't goin' up there,"
"Alright, just get ready to leave," Rip nodded & flew up into the sky, waiting for Tech & Nology with Chocola on his head; Tech & Nology flew up to the top of the volcano. The coyote touched the stone & it rattled before breaking & releasing a black female version of Knuckles with pumpkin-orange eyes wearing red bell-bottoms, a red tube-top, a mood ring, red go-go boots, & a pumpkin-orange tail ring on each tail.
"Thank-you-for-releasing-me," she exclaimed before she grabbed his shirt & pulled him into a kiss; the coyote felt energy pulsing through his body before Charcoal broke the kiss & flew away. Tech felt his lips; Rip flew over to him,
"Dude, did she just kiss you?"
"Yeah,"
"I guess the last 1 is Cable, right?"
"Yes," they then left & flew to another planet; this planet was flooded,
"Cable is underwater," they dove into the water & swam to a stone statue; Rip touched the statue & it violently shook before it broke & released a 9-tailed gray fox with red eyes & bird wings coming out of his back wearing a cream shirt, chocolate shoes, a red tailring on each tail, & cream & chocolate pants. The gray hybrid smiled at the both of them,
"Thank-you-both,"
"We couldn't have rescued you without Tech," Cable placed his hand on Tech's forehead; the coyote felt energy pulsing through his body before Cable removed his hand & they all flew off the planet. They arrived at a hidden castle where they met back up with Lake, Charcoal, Honeydew, & the gang; they also saw a lioness with red eyes wearing royal clothing & a gold crown as well as a roadrunner with blue eyes wearing royal clothing & a gold crown,
"There's Tech," the lioness walked over & hugged the coyote,
"Thank you, Tech; for saving all 4 of my darlings & letting us know about Knuckles," Tech blushed a bit,
"I just wanna be sure Knuckles is happy,"
"I'm-sure-he'll-be-so-excited-that-you-were-really-thinking-about-him-by-protecting-us," the roadrunner added; Bridget frowned,
"Nature, we just heard the Loonatics going into space,"
"You know, I had caught another location while Rip & I were looking for the royals; I wanna check it out," everyone nodded as they said goodbye to the royal family & went into space,
"Where is it?" Paula asked; Luthor looked at her,
"Paula, go easy on him; he did rescue a royal family,"
"I got it," the brown coyote interrupted before he led everyone to a large red spaceship,
"Nature, I don't like the looks of that craft," Millie exclaimed; Tech blinked,
"I'm goin' in," the coyote disappeared in a flash of light with Bridget smirking,
"Chaos Control."
The coyote appeared in a flash of light near a man with purple hair on 1 side of his head, complete with a white highlight; the other side of his head was metal & he had a purple goatee. The man turned to the coyote, his glowing eye was full of hatred & evil,
"Who are you & how did you get in here?" Tech looked the man over,
"You remind me of Zadavia,"
"So, you know my sister,"
"Zadavia's your sister? Sweet mother of Chaos; man what a life: first, I get superpowers from a meteor; then, I get sent into the past; next, I get 2 collars clamped around my neck; & now, I met Zadavia's brother. This isn't how I wanted my life to turn out," something suddenly dawned on the coyote,
"Hey, what happened to your head?"
"I see that Zadavia hasn't told you," Tech shook his head; the man sighed,
"Well, Zadavia & I hail from the planet: Freleng; it's over 600 parsecs from your own galaxy. We were born into the royal family; Zadavia & I were groomed to rule Freleng together but I choose to conquer other planets. Zadavia had the high council on her side; I wouldn't let the rule of law stand in my way; I kidnapped the high council & went after my sister, fearing that she would lead a revolt against me. I wouldn't rest until she was under my control; when she was getting away, I was caught in the heat of her ship's exhaust. Zadavia used 1 of the wormhole generators to escape to Acmetropolis; I was able to find her using my ship's scanners & sent the meteor to destroy Acmetropolis but Zadavia was able to slow down the meteor & save Acmetropolis but the impact caused something to happen,"
"Yeah it caused something to happen; it gave the Loonatics, me, & some of my other friends our superpowers,"
"I see, are you alright?"
"My teeth are driving me crazy for some reason," the man felt sorry for the coyote,
"Let me see," Tech opened his mouth; the man looked in,
"I see the problem," he stuck his hand in the coyote's mouth. He took out his hand & revealed that a piece of curium was lodged into the coyote's teeth; Tech sighed,
"Eggman,"
"Nature," they turned & saw the others; Bridget noticed the curium,
"What happened?" Tech explained everything about the man & the gang was shocked,
"He's Zadavia's brother?"
"Yes, my name is Optimatus; I apologize about the meteor," Millie shook her head,
"I thank you for the meteor,"
"So do we," everyone exclaimed in unison; Tech smiled,
"Optimatus, you can stick with us; we plan on being the backup team for the Loonatics,"
"I don't know,"
"Zadavia's the boss of the Loonatics," Bridget added,
"You can be our boss," Optimatus smiled,
"Sounds like a plan to me," they all introduced themselves to their new boss as the ship headed for the planet. Rip smiled,
"Should we start training?" Optimatus nodded,
"Good idea, Rip; we'll probably be training a lot before meeting Zadavia & the Loonatics," Tech nodded in agreement; they began their training & Optimatus was impressed by their powers,
"I never thought that meteor could give you all superpowers,"
"Hey Nature, what was the whole thing with the hand on the head?" Tech smirked & tossed a fireball at Bridget; she hit it with her hammer, causing it to burn away,
"Elemental powers & his old powers, what a combo."
