I'm so sorry, I haven't up-dated in such a long time. So I'll get on and write loads of new chapters for you. Enjoy :).

Chapter 4.

Tech sighed; it was the first time in a long time, a happy sigh. He glanced at the holographic newspaper's bold headline. "Loonatics back on Form. The Heroes are back."

"Good isn't it" Duck said in between slurping his drink.

"Very good" Tech replied. A door opened and Ace walked in, his eyes bright.

"Good morning Chief" Tech smiled, he liked saying that. It brought him comfort.

"Morning Tech, Rev and Duck" the leader acknowledged his team. Slam followed Ace before wandering to the fridge. A companionable silence followed. Until the alarm sounded.

"Loonatics, we have a problem. Someone has broken into a high security part of a museum-"

"A museum…seriously Zadavia" Duck commented

"Duck" Ace warned, then to Zadavia "We'll check it out"

"Good Luck"

"Loonatics. Let's jet" Ace called.

Later…

Cautiously the Loonatics headed down to the lower level. Ace motioned to the others and they split up. Covering all possible exits, Ace paused glancing down. Gently sliding his sword out, he felt his heart begin to speed back up. Then he noticed the glint of silver around his wrist, he smiled. Snapping back to his senses, he pressed himself into one of the walls, listening.

"Ready Loonatics?" he asked into his communicator. The mumbled agreements spurred Ace to flip neatly over the side. He landed before raising the sword in front of his face.

The other Loonatics, moved on knowing they had to complete their assigned tasks. Tech and Duck slipped into the security area, quietly Tech slipped the bolts off, before a clang alerted them to someone's movement. Duck formed up to of his orbs, and waited. Suddenly a metal claw smashed through the wall, Tech and Duck dived out of the way in a panic, they both recognised Lexi's murderers. Duck launched several orbs in a storm of anger…to their amazement the robots collapsed and didn't get up. Tech quickly moved to the panel and began to input the lock down code, while Duck poked at the robots with a metal pole.

"I don't get it" Duck mumbled confused.

Rev paused, while scanning the rooms. Before picking up his target once again, he rocketed off. Slam bounded after the roadrunner, enjoying the speed at which they were working. It gave him a sense of pride. Rev laughed at Slam's expression, before he slammed into a robot. Its blade swung around aimlessly. Slam let out a growl, before bringing his fist into its neck joint. It snapped off easily, without warning the robot collapsed in a big heap. Rev sped off, trying to make up for the lost time. Praying Ace was okay on his own.

Ace glanced around. Pausing, seeing no enemies. Was it safe? He kept his sword poised. Narrowing his eyes, he saw three huge outlines moving towards him. As quickly as one of the shadows fired it claw, Ace stepped forwards, swinging his blade through the wires. It snapped off harmlessly.

"It seems today, you have a better reaction time." A voice mused from somewhere around him.

"I'm always on form, doc" Ace replied coolly

"Always?" The voice questioned, Ace hesitated. He then whirled around. The man hovered above one of the displays, his hand placed on one of the ancient jewellery pieces.

"Rings. A sign of trust and loyalty. Don't you think?" The man said a hint of sadness in his tone. Ace didn't reply.

"But we need to find that person first, someone close and understanding." He continued. Ace assessed his enemy. The man was tall, about a few centimetres taller than himself, there were hints of a muscular build.

"Well, I'm glad I met such a lovely villain" Ace answered coldly. The man ignored him, and then finished just as casually as he had before.

"Someone we love, who we would lay our lives down for, and they would give their lives as well." Ace tensed. The man smirked, knowing he had hit a sore spot. Ace tensed up, then noticed the bracelet and focused on relaxing. He knew anger would only make him clumsy. Clumsy he couldn't afford. Suddenly the rest of the Loonatics came bursting into the room. The man's smile grew.

"Hello there" he said welcoming; the Loonatics flicked a gaze over to Ace. Ace shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't look so surprised. You underestimate me." The villain laughed. The other Loonatics wanted to laugh, but something about him scared them. The villain then smiled again calming himself.

"Anyway I must be off, but I know we will meet again"

"Listen here pal, you cant-"Duck began but the villain began to glow all over his body. A black fire began to swirl around him, all of the lights smashing.

"Loonatics move!" Ace shouted as the team scattered. Part of the ball of fire ripped apart, flames rocketing towards Ace, covering all ways of escape. Ace moved his hand in front of his face. I tried Lexi he thought. As if in response a nearby display exploded, as one of the necklaces smashed out. It hovered in front of him, as the flames destroyed everything in their path, it got brighter. A white circle of light emitted from it, blocking the flames from their target. Ace stared at it. While the other Loonatics, ran forwards to find them staring at a dark black cloud left by the villain. Hesitantly Ace lifted his hand out, the humming from the small gem sent a comforting feel over him. Then as if nothing had happened, it dulled and fell to the ground. Quickly the rabbit's reflexes enabled him to catch it, and his grip tightened.

"Chief, are you ok?" Tech's worried voice broke the stunned silence.

"Yeah, I hope so…but who was 'dat?" he asked, confused. Everyone searched each other's faces; praying, hoping that someone knew. However, the silence continued.

"grpjgropgjdthd?" Slam questioned, sniffing around slightly, he had longed for a good fight but instead he could sense something familiar.

"Yeah, I agree. Lets go an' find Zadavia" Ace stated, taking charge again. Five jetpacks ignited as four anthros began to head back to the base, but Ace paused looking at the plain gem that rested in his hand, then still clutching the gem in his firm grasp, he lifted into the air and rocketed after the others. However he was confused as, for a moment it was like he had felt Lexi standing in front of him…
