Ch.8: Ascension!

As Nug's foot plunged downwards to crush Ace, the yellow rabbit cringed and took what he very well knew could be his final breath. But a split second before the foot connected Ace felt something grab him and port him out of danger just in the nick of time. When he turned to thank his rescuer he and the other Loonatics gasped in surprise.

"Duck?"

Hard as it was to believe, it was true. There was Danger Duck standing right in front of the Loonatics looking very much alive, but his appearance had changed. His feathers were glowing gold and his eyes had changed to a fierce red. Up in Heaven the angel at the desk laughed.

"Behold the Ascended Form" said the angel " in this form your attacks will do ten times as much damage as they did before. Will this be enough to stop Nug? Heh...how am I supposed to know?"

The Loonatics and Nug had no idea what to believe, so Duck spoke for them.

"Miss me Nug?" said Duck.

"So" said Nug " you really are alive. It would have been better if you have stayed dead. This new power of yours does not scare me,"

" It should" said Duck " and I'd love to show you why,"

With that Duck charged so fast at Nug that even Rev would be proud. When he was right in front of the silver wolf's face he called up a golden power egg and blasted it at Nug's face making the parasite cry out in pain.

Swinging one of his silver claws Nug sent Duck flying into a nearby building. Using his tornado form Slam spun upwards and caught Duck before he reached the ground.

"Duck, are you alright?" asked Ace when the duo reached the ground.

" I'm fine" said Duck, dragging out a contract and giving it to Ace " but you need to sign this,"

" What's this for?" asked Ace as Duck flew off.

"You'll find out" said Duck, going to face Nug " just sign it and recite the verse,"

Nug had recovered from Duck's recnet attack and now his face was completely healed.

"Why can't the bad guy just fall when you want him to?" said Duck, and resumed his attack.

Meanwhile, back on the ground, ace was giving the contract Duck handed a once over. Apparently he was pleased with it since the other Loonatics saw him a small smile to Duck.

"Great plan Pal" said Ace, turning to his team " quick, I need something to write with. Pen, pencil, marker, get it?''

"On it Ace" said Lexi, running off " but are you sure you can trust that thing?"

"It's a risk" said Ace " but I'm willing to chance it,"

With that Lexi and Slam went searching for a pencil for Ace to sign the contract with. Hard to believe it was actually Slam that found it first. He had pulled it from a hot dog vendor's abandoned hat.

Quickly Ace signed the contract, and recited the verse.

" Endow me with the strentgh of the golden light, so I may defeat this evil creature tonight,"

After reciting the verse a golden light surrounded Ace and suddenly burst into his Ascended form. His fur had been turned pure gold, and his eyes and triangle were glowing red just like Duck's.

The new power he had gained astounded Ace, but his amazement was soon interrupted by Duck's struggle with Nug. And with no further delay Ace blasted off to Duck's assistance. But with the eggs a mere ten minutes away from hatching, would the Loonatic's be able to stop Nug in time?
