Techna had been gone a week. She had convinced her team that she could solve the problems, avoid a forced marriage, and have her brother on the throne before the week was out. Rev had explained that he had dated her before she had made her disappearance from the university and became Tech. He had found out Tech's secret shortly after Mastermind's first escape when Techna had been muttering about repairing her gadgets and how she kept ruining her life.
Rev felt lost as he tried to figure out what Techna was doing right now. The rest of the team had taken the news of Tech actually being a girl well, but all of them were shocked about the princess thing. The fact that she had kept it from even Rev, who no matter which gender she was, had been her best friend. Techna had been scared senseless of being married it seemed, but had insisted on going to her home world alone. Now all Rev could do was wait and worry on Planet Blanc in Tech's lab.
"Hey, Rev…" Ace peeked in nervously. He knew his friend was heartbroken and worried, but they still had a job to do. Rev looked up from the bench to him as he tried to hide his tears from his leader. "Umm… Zadavia called. Something about someone needing protection…" Rev just nodded and the two went down to the meeting room.
"Ah, Loonatics, I've been informed of a situation which I think concerns you. Even though I am no longer in charge for you all, I still feel responsible in some small way, especially since I didn't know about Tech's secret. The princess Technacalice's brother, Eaze E. Coyote has asked for your help. He wishes you to do something that I would normally disapprove of, but in this case, I'll make an exception."
"What is it, Zadavia? Is everything okay?" Lexi voiced her concern for her teammate's world. She was really worrying about Tech now though. Even though they had found out that Tech was really a girl, Tech was still the same old Tech, their friend and teammate, and nothing could change that in the Loonatics eyes.
"At the moment, yes, but Prince Ease has asked you to kidnap his sister before she is married to Prince Marques of Coronius. He says it is imperative that she not marry him and that the most important treasure of their planet. Something called the Coyotus Crystals. Apparently they are a treasure guarded by the female royals, and Technacalice took them with her when she left her planet six years ago. No one but Technacalice knows where they are. Apparently Prince Marques wishes to use the princess as a way to have access to the crystals. No one is sure of what the crystals can do, but the power and the spells that control them are passed down through each generation." Zadavia's hologram glitched a little, as she explained the situation to the team. Rev's heart pounded hard as he placed his hand into his pocket and gripped on a small stone that had been given to him five years ago by his girlfriend, right before he disappeared. "So, we need you to in effect, kidnap the princess and keep her hidden until we can find a way to legally stop this problem"
"Blah blue blah blagh parents? Baleh bleh blah." Slam grunted while scratching his head.
"No Slam, I'm afraid her parents can't do anything about this situation. They both died mysteriously after the princess disappeared the first time when she was nineteen. That was six years ago. I'm afraid the only thing that's been keeping everything running smoothly is the prince who's been helping his sister. I'm starting to fear for his safety as well though. There have been several attempts on both their lives within the past week alone."
"What?" Rev's eyes widened in fear at hearing this. "We're-on-our-way-Zadavia-don't-worry-about-a-thing-we'll-have-everything-going-smoothly-for-Techna's-brother-and-planet-and-then-she-can-come-home-and-keep-helping-us-out-and-working-on-our-team-like-the-same-old-Tech-we-know-and-love." He zoomed off to start getting the ship ready.
"Ya hoid da boid! Let's jet!" The team grabbed their gear and met Rev at the ship as he finished programming the coordinates into the wormhole central machine that Tech had devised after they had moved to Planet Blanc. They strapped themselves in with one person in mind as the rocket flew through the wormhole, Tech.
