Ch.2: The First Victim
" I don't get it" said Lexi " why would someone send us out on a cold call and then leave us stranded?"
" Maybe somethings going wrong on Planet Blanc" said Duck " maybe this all just make sure we didn't interfere someones dastardly plans,"
" Possible" said Tech " but that's not what the facts show. If the villian's goal was to take over Blanc why was our ship destroyed just minutes after our arrival?"
" You're right Tech" said Ace " someone came with us to make sure we couldn't leave, and that someone must still be here,"
" But that still doesn't answer my question as to 'why?' " said Lexi " why would someone want to trap us on Acmetropolis?"
" Who knows Lexi" said Ace " who knows?"
--------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the mysterious being called Nug was slipping into Acmetropolis jail, to find a suject worthy enough to test the Loonatic's abilities. According to the police records the people in this prison were the most dangerous crooks Acmetropolis had ever known.
All the villians were surprised to see this strange silver being when he came waltzing down the cellblock.
"Who are you?" asked Massive.
" I am Nug" said Nug " and I am seeking talent that is capable to survive a battle with the Loonatics. I assure you that a grand award awaits anyone who is worthy enough to destroy at least one Loonatic,"
"Name's Sypher alien dude" said the power sucking villian from a cell next to Massive's " you let me out, and I'll leave every single one of them powerless, making them easy to destroy,"
"Except you've never destroyed them" said a woman with an extremely large head " name's Mastermind, and I can easily dispose of the Loonatics with one of my inventions if you were so kind as to let me out,"
Nug stared long and hard at both of them as if reading thier own twisted minds as his eyes took on a silver glow. When the silver glow faded Nug's expression took on a disgusted look.
"Neither of you are worthy of my offer" said Nug " Sypher, has to much of an ego to get by with anything I request. And Mastermind, is just as disgusting. Which leaves you two,"
Nug looked over at Massive's and Weathervane's cells while Sypher and Mastermind pouted. Both villians had really impressive resumes, Mssive could control gravity, and Weathervane, the weather.
In the end though Nug chose Weathervane. The evil mistress was thrilled to be chosen, but she wouln't be for long.
As she stepped out of the safety of her cell Nug tackled Weathervane and defused into her body. All the villians watching had their mouths wide open with shock as Weathervane produced a scream that could wake anyone from a thousand miles.
But soon, everything was back to being quiet again as Nug completed the fusion process and carried complete control over Weathervane's body and powers. His new hosts eyes glowing silver to show just who had complete control.
-------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Loonatics had taken up residence in their old tower to sleep for the night, little did they expect to recieve a rude awakening. Thunder roared and lightning flashed startling the Loonatics from their slumber.
Moments later the Acme heroes were all gathered on the balcony to witness the destruction caused by the villianous Weathervane. Before anyone who could witness the weather villian called up a twin tornado assualt, destroying millions of Acmetropolis's homes.
"Rev, Lexi, Slam!" shouted Ace " help those citizens down there! Duck, Tech, you're with me!"
With that said both teams imedaitely split up and took to their seperate jobs. Slam got busy dueling with the twin torandos while Rev and Lexi worked together to keep the citizens safe from the crumbling buildings.
In the air Duck, Tech, and Ace were heading for the real target, Weathervane. Inside in his current host's body Nug laughed, he had the Loonatics right where he wanted them. The first test had been complicated, but nessacary to reveal the Loonatics pecking order to the space parasite.
" The yellow rabbit is obivously the leader" thought Nug " and the duck and coyote are truely who he trusts to help him most when battling a super villian. But now they must work hard to pass my final test. Who has the best powers?"
Ace went first blasting his laser vision at Weathervane, but the villianous stopped it by raising up her elemental shield. Little did she know that Duck also possessed such a power, so that when Weathervane retaliated back with lightning bursts, duck was able to use his new power to defend his friends.
However, unlike when it was defending againist fire, the lightning bounced off the shield and bounced back straight to it's source striking Weathervane. Losing her concentration the weather that Weathervane had summoned earlier began to disappear as she plummeted towards the earth below.
Using one of his inventions, specifically the tractor beam, Tech saved her from her plummet and soon Weathervane was returned to Acmetropolis jail. But as the Loonatics left none of them seemed to notice the visitor from Planet Blanc slip out of Weathervane's body, and attach itself to Duck's.
