OK, from here on out, there may be points were I copy stuff off of things like Harry Potter, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, or even that video game Oblivion. I don't own any of that stuff either, but I did create the characters of Daniella, Wendy, and Sophie. And now for the story.


Chapter 2

While Tech was working on his device in his lab around 10:30 that night, Wendy, Daniella, and Sophie were arranging their room.

"This is ridiculous," Wendy said, "Why can't we just do this if we want it to be so perfect?" She pointed her finger at the bed and the sheets glowed as it began to make itself. While that was going on, she pointed her finger at herself and her blonde hair was pulled back in a braid and her dress transformed into pajamas.

"Wendy!" Daniella cried quietly, "Aren't you the one you told us not to use our powers until it's necessary?"

"Alright, alright, I get it," said Wendy, "I won't do it anymore. I just hope that green dog can fix this for us so we can finish this situation and go home."

"He is not 'that green dog'," said Sophie, "He's a normal coyote who just happens to have superpowers and a high IQ level. And for another thing, he has a name: Tech!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," said Wendy, sarcastically, "I didn't realize that you had a crush on him."

"I do n--" Daniella and Wendy both looked at their coyote sister. "OK, maybe a little."

"Oh my, you like him!" Daniella said, jumping as she changed her clothes, "I can't believe it!"

"I've had crushes before," said Sophie, "Well, one, and he turned out to be an annoying jerk."

"Oh, please," said Wendy, "We all dated him and he wasn't that bad by my standards, unlike you 2. Then again, he did call me a mindless hamster."

"Exactly," said Sophie, getting in her bed, "I don't want that to happen again and that's why I wouldn't let myself fall in love again. I wouldn't even look at another guy back in Anasala after that, but somehow I know that he's different…that I can trust him. We did get this far because of him and his rodent and bird friends."

"Well, technically," said Daniella, "a rabbit isn't of the rodent family. It has these extra teeth and all that other stuff that disqualifies them for that. And I'm not sure what the devil thing is."

"Daniella, you were always the smart one," said Sophie, "Wendy was always cranky and such and I was always a little…"

"I won't finish that sentence for you," said Wendy.

"I was going to say 'different'," said Sophie, "I was always the only coyote in Anasala. Come to think of it, I was the only…animal/human thing…there, too, anyway."

"I believe the proper term may be 'anthro' here," said Daniella, getting in her own bed.

"Yeah, whatever," said Wendy, getting in bed, "Goodnight, sis and…sis."

"'Night," said Daniella, "Let's get some sleep now."

"OK," said Sophie, gently closing her eyes, "Good night, my fellow…" She yawned here. "Witches."

While Tech continued to adjust his device, something was going on in a more remote area in Acmetropolis. A man in a black cloak dressed exactly like the thief that the Loonatics had tried to apprehend when they met the girls was in a room with a book with a scorpion on the cover. The thief flew in as a bat and transformed back to normal.

"I see you have failed me again," said the man, still reading.

"I promise, my lord," said the thief, beginning to pull down his hood, "that next time I will--" He screamed as his arms locked to his side, throbbing in pain as his leader put down the book, holding out his arm, and walked slowly forward.

"There will not be a next time if those Loonatics are not disposed of before they meet those girls," the leader began, "They have powers the girls can use to destroy us all. And I received word this morning that they made it safely here this morning and conversed with the animals and now reside with them on the other side of the planet. Your job was to destroy them before that happened!" He put down his hand and the thief fell to the ground continuing to cry out as the searing pain began to leave him.

The thief pulled down his hood to reveal that he was about 15 with brown hair and brown eyes. "I said I was sorry. I did find out that the girls do not know what they came here for."

"But if they find some way to regain their memory before the week is out, then they and the Loonatics will destroy us all!" The leader called out, yelling at him as his red hot eyes blazed directly into his servant's brown eyes. He turned and paced his room for 2 seconds before an idea hit him. "But, if the girls are friends with them, then they would do anything to protect them, even give up their powers. And when they do, I will take hold of both the realms and become the leader of them all. And then, the Order of the Scorpion will be more than just a fantasy tale, but an all powerful nation. And with the girls and their parents out of the way, there will be no one to stop me."

"But what about those Loonatics?" asked the thief, holding up his palm as protection, revealing in the process that he bore the Symbol of the Scorpion on his hand.

His leader turned to face him. "They are nothing compared to me. They'll be out of the way in no time. And as soon as I have all their power, I will be the ruler of all--by default since I'll have pretty much everyone's power as soon as I drain the land of Anasala of its magic and destroy Acmetropolis." He cackled menacingly as the thief got up from the ground and fled from his master's presence, unwillingly to face his wrath if he stayed a second longer.

"OK," said Tech the next morning, attaching a strange device to both his and Sophie's wrists, "if this thing works right, then after I activate it, the memories you can't access will be fed to me as the receiver and I should be able to repair any damage while your memories are coming back."

While Tech was hitting a button, Sophie realized the fault in his sentence. "OK, I guess I'm fine with that, but what if it doesn't--" Tech was hit by an electric shock that fried him and turned him to dust, his end of the device falling to Sophie's side. "accommodate to my abilities and therefore, doesn't work?" She turned to the other Loonatics. "Do you think he'll be OK as a dust pile?"

"Eh, Tech's used to fixing these problems," Lexi explained.

Before Sophie could figure out what she meant, she turned around and saw Tech molecularly regenerating before her. "I get kind of tired of that happening." He took off the device from Sophie's wrist to make some adjustments. "I guess I just assumed that you didn't have any powers and didn't fix your side the right way and your powers didn't find a place to rest, so they short-circuited the system and shocked me in mid-transfer."

"I have no idea what you just said but it sounds right," said Sophie, "And how did you--"

"The comet didn't just provide magnetic levitation," Tech explained, "I can regenerate in case something gets out of hand. And it comes in handy considering how often my plans backfire."

"I noticed," said Sophie, "How are you going to fix that if you don't know what my powers are? I only remember one of them and I don't think I should even use it until all this is fixed."

"Simple, I just adjust this thing 2 degrees and--" His wrench broke and the half he wasn't holding on to went flying to the other side of the room. "and then get a new wrench before breaking something else."

Sophie giggled. "I like that plan." After Tech fixed it, she was reluctant to using it again, but knew she had no choice because she didn't know any other way to get back her memories without revealing to the Loonatics what her powers really were. Tech activated the device and was quickly raced through a memory of her being struck by lightning…or something else. He didn't know what that meant and his device obviously wouldn't let him control which memory got fed into it, so he turned it off. "Are you OK?" Tech nodded. "What did you see?"

Tech took off his thing and tossed it aside. "Nothing." Before he could correct his words, the alarm went off.

"What's going on?" Sophie asked.

"Zadavia's on the line," said Ace taking his friends to the living room to meet with their boss.

"Who's Zadavia?" Sophie called after them, before realizing that they were too far away for anyone but Lexi to hear her (and Lexi couldn't respond since she was too far away for Sophie to hear her) and then going to fetch her sisters to talk with the Loonatics again.

When the 3 girls came to the living room, they saw all 6 of the Loonatics standing in front of the TV which showed a blonde woman in a rainbow aura. Her hair seemed to fly above her as she talked, "No one can identify the thief, but he seems to have unlimited power. I want you to go down there and stop--who are those girls in the corner?" The Loonatics turned to see Sophie turning around, Daniella waving, and Wendy rolling her eyes again with her hand on her hip.

"Uh, there just some friends," said Tech, "They could probably help."

"Well, if they could I would suggest they should. Zadavia out."

"Alright, let's move it, Loonatics," said Ace as he and Lexi and Slam left the room. Tech walked over to Sophie.

"What was that all about?" she asked.

"Zadavia's our leader," Tech explained, "If there's a problem in Acmetropolis, she calls us and we go fix it."

"So," said Duck, quacking over to Wendy, "you still don't remember anything?"

"It's not so bad that I don't remember anything," said Wendy, "If it were then I wouldn't know who I or my sisters were. And I do, so shut it." She held his beak shut, while Rev ran over.

"Well-if-you-don't-remember-you-can-stay-here-as-long-as-you-want-I'm-sure-Zadavia-and-Ace-won't-mind," Rev said.

"Thanks," said Daniella, "That's very nice of you." Rev ran off to catch up with the others.

Duck quacked again so that Wendy was no longer holding his beak shut. He reappeared next to Tech. "Do you think that she's going to be so…feisty that whole time?" Duck asked, almost insufferably.

"Well, I don't know," said Tech, staring at Sophie as she walked off with her sisters, not knowing that Duck was referring to Wendy, "She seems nice enough."

"She just clamped my beak shut so that I could barely breathe and then wouldn't let go and you call that nice?"

"Oh, you're talking about Wendy! I meant--uh--"

"You like Sophie, don't you?" Duck asked, "In that case, you need to talk to Lexi. I'd be no help with the girl field."

"Oh, yeah?" Tech said, crossing his arms, "How do you know you need any help with Wendy? You obviously like her."

"Me? And her?" Duck stuttered, "But--I--we--she--uh,"

"What's wrong, Duck?" Tech asked, "Need more help getting a girl than Rev does so that Daniella can understand him?"

"How do you know so much about girls if you've never had a girlfriend?"

"Duck, my love life is my personal life and therefore, it's none of your business. But if you must know, I took psychology in college, got an A, and dated the other top student for 2 months."

"Let me guess, it was a lovely little poodle and she broke up with you?" Tech growled at him. "What?"
