Hey readers sorry for the long wait. I was very busy with work.
For the hero pose Razer is between Ace and Lexi with a blaster ready.
I'm planing to give Razer ship a wheel travel on land system (I have no idea what it's called). If you have any suggestion I would love the feedback.
I only own Razer.
Time After Time
The day was not like any other. Ace had this feeling as if he had experienced something, but without knowing if he had or not. His eyes snapped open after experiencing a nightmare off of Razer crashing towards his doom and getting squished by a gargantuan robot that he and his team had tried to take down. He was sweaty and he felt that he had lost sensations in his arms and legs. His eyes searched around his room where he found himself warm inside the covers of his bed.
Ace: Whoa!
He exclaimed as he snapped in an upright position and placed a hand over his head.
Ace: That was some dream!
He looked around once more in his room, having that sense of familiarity again.
Ace: At least I think it was a dream.
Slowly, he pulled the covers off him and got up from the bed. His legs felt a little shaky but he adjusted his balance before he decided to join his team over in the kitchen for some breakfast. Tech, Slam, Lexi, and Duck were gathered at the table having a cup of coffee while Rev was making one of his special morning juices.
Rev: Morning-Ace. You-look-really-run-down. I'm-making-my-super-booster-pick-me-up-shake-you-like-one. How-about-it?
He asked as he held a glass towards Ace.
Ace let out an exhausted yawn and turned down the juice. All he wanted to do was go back to bed but he didn't want to miss out on any Zadavia's calls. Lexi walked over to him and placed a slice of bread in a see through toaster force field and it took a minute for the bread to toast.
Ace: That's strange.
Lexi: (chuckles a little.) Ace, toast is not strange. Unless Duck makes it…then watch out. (Notice a member not here.) Have anyone seen Razer.
Just when she said that they heard a boom. Then the doors open Razor appeared almost completely covered in soot like he had fallen down a chimney.
Ace: What just happened!?
Razer: (coughing up some dust smoke.) I was rebuilding the Oblitobot.
Duck then teleported right next to Razer face as he remembered that destructive machine.
Duck: WHAT! You're still building that thing that almost made us bought the farm!
He pushes Duck's face away.
Razer: Again I was bored. Anyway while I was rebuilding a circuit fuse malfunction. It then blew up at my face.
Lexi: Are you ok because that painful.
Razer: I'm fine but it almost feels like I crashed down to my doom. Which is weird because that never happen before.
Ace then gave a curious look. Wondering if he is experiencing the same thing. Just then Zadavia image appears.
Zadavia: Loonatics, your assistance is urgently needed at the Acmetroplis Military Weapons Lab.
The screen then shows the base. Tech gave a confuse look while Razer clean the smudge off his own face.
Tech: The weapons lab needs help from us? But they have all those…..weapons.
Razer gave a scoff.
Razer: No offense Tech. The lab my have the weapons but sometimes they low security. Like guards sometimes doze off, less camera's, and sometimes easy to sneak through.
He then notice the looks he was getting from them. Because that sounds extremely specific way of description.
Razer: So I've heard.
Zadavia: Minus the statement. Someone's broken in and is trying to steal the Trollbot 9000.
Duck: The Trollbot 9000?! No! Not the Trolbot 9000!
He then turned around and looked at the team.
Duck: What's the Trollbot 9000 again?
Zadavia: The most powerful fighting machine ever created.
Duck: Not the Trollbot 9000!
Razer gave Ace a look that says "Permission to zap him up". Ace just walk up to Duck.
Ace: Try to use your inside voice. (He looks at Zadavia.) We'll get right on it.
Zadavia: Zadavia out.
Her hologram disappeared.
Ace: Let's jet!
The team took off in different directions. As Duck was about to leave. He hears a ringing from the screen. He press a button on his wrist as an old man appears on the screen.
Duck: Hello? Make it snappy, gramps. We're on our way to save the city!
Old Man: My name is Dr. Fidel Chroniker and my grandson is totally out of control!
Duck: And this is our problem how? We're super heroes. Send Junior to bed without his video games and let us do our job.
Chroniker: Aah!
He didn't get to finish because Duck hang up on him. Just then Razer came in as he saw little of what going on.
Razer: What was that about?
Duck: Don't know just someone mistakenly us as babysitters.
He runs off. Razer shook his head.
Razer: I don't know why. But I have a gut feeling to smack you for not taking it seriously.
Scene changes to the lab. When the Loonatics enter, it was a complete mess.
Slam: Worse than my room!
Lexi: Yeah, it does look worse than your room.
Razer: Yeah, this place is mostly clean off spotless. Which I heard.
Suddenly, a man dressed in a colonel outfit coughed as he made his way through the smoke and ran towards the Loonatics.
Colonel Trench: At last, so glad you're here. I'm Colonel Trench. This is my command.
A loud noise was heard in the other side of the room and that was enough of an indication to the colonel that he had lost some men in whatever battle they were fighting.
Colonel Trench: Or was. Follow me.
He lead the superheroes as they followed him deep into the room and began to explain the situation that had happened.
Colonel Trench: Someone calling himself Time Skip has broken in claiming we stole his design for the Trollbot 9000.
Duck: Not the Trollbot 9000!
Colonel Trench: I'm afraid so. We've been trying to pin him down, but he continues to breach our security measures.
But once they entered the room where the Trollbot was kept, they found Time Skip was already there.
Colonel Trench: Don't let him near that system! If he gets inside that bot, no one will able to stop him!
Duck: Well, we're just the nobodies to try!
Time Skip: Time out Loonatics!
The Loonatics rushed forward to stop him, but Time Skip freezes them suddenly and enters the Trollbot. As soon as Time Skip got control of the robot, the Loonatics became unfrozen again.
Razer: What the !?
Time Skip: Now that I'm in the driver seat, let's show'em what you got.
Razer: Did he-
Before he could finish the Trollbot blasted a giant laser at him,Ace, and Lexi, which they were running to get out of the way, but they were both knocked down, along with Slam. Time Skip turned his target towards Rev, Duck, and Tech. The Trollbot fired missiles at them, but Rev grabbed Tech, and they both got out of harm's way, while Duck teleported himself out of the missiles' way. They took cover behind the control panel, now crushed. Time Skip now had the Trollbot blow a large hole in the wall and left the building to go into Acmetropolis.
Tech: My new Metallo Converter would turn that thing to dust, but it's back at headquarters!
Ace: Then you take Rev and prep it; we'll bring the Trollbot right to you! Razer mind giving us air support.
Razer: Gotcha. Good thing I brought my ship here for emergencies.
He went to his ship when Rev and Tech headed back to HQ while the others went after Trollbot. They catch up to it. Razer started firing at it but it seems to have no effect.
Lexi: Ace, what's the plan?
Ace: Take out its blades! On three, Lexi!
Ace and Lexi destroyed one of the propellers fans on one of its arms, bringing it down to the street. They combined their powers to try and destroy the robot, but the Trollbot proved to be invincible to their powers. Tech blew up to ashes because Rev already reversed the Metallo Converter with the Turbo Reverse Modulator, and the Trollbot destroyed the Loonatics' HQ.
Razer: Guys!
The Trollbot then fire it laser at his ship. He screams as he lost control and crashed to to building which leads an explosion.
Ace: Razer!
Time Skip: Give up bunny rabbit. Can't you see that I've won!
Seeing the destruction of HQ and probably lost of friend, Ace angrily shot laser beams at the Trollbot, but it did no effect.
Time Skip: Is that the best you've got.
Ace was backed up to a corner where the Trollbot raised its foot to crush him. The last thing he heard from Lexi's screams his name until everything went black. He woke up screaming in terror earlier that same morning from before. He went into the kitchen, shaken yet drowsy.
Ace: Another bad night. I keep having the same nightmare over and over again.
Rev: I'm-making-my-super-booster-pick-me-up-shake.-Would-you-care-for-one?
Ace: (yawns) No, I'm too shaken for a shake.
It was then Ace realized he might've said the same thing before, or he could be still dreaming.
Ace: Am I still dreaming? Because I feel like I've done this exact same thing before.
Lexi: (yawns) Hello? More like every single morning.
Ace: No Lexi, I man Rev, you, this, it's all too familiar.
Lexi: Hello? We only make the same breakfast every single morning. (Notice a member not here.) Have anyone seen Razer.
Just when she said that they heard a boom. Which was very familiar to Ace like it already happened. Then the doors open Razor appeared almost completely covered in soot like he had fallen down a chimney.
Ace: What just happened!?
Razer gave him a look like he already said that.
Razer: (coughing up some dust smoke.) I don't know why but I think you said that before? Anyways, I was rebuilding the Oblitobot.
Duck then teleported right next to Razer face as he remembered that destructive machine.
Duck: WHAT! You're still building that thing that almost made us bought the farm!
He pushes Duck's face away.
Razer: Again I was bored. Anyway while I was rebuilding a circuit fuse malfunction. It then blew up at my face.
Lexi: Are you ok because that painful.
Razer: I'm fine but it almost feels like I crashed down to my doom. Which is weird because that never happen before. (Confused look.) I'm sorry but did I say that before?
Ace then gave look.
Ace: Actually I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure you've said before.
Tech: Sounds like déjà vu.
Duck: Jaja who?
Tech: Déjà Vu. The sense that you're experiencing over and over again.
Just then, Zadavia's hologram appeared, telling the Loonatics that their assistance was needed at the Acmetropolis Military Weapons Lab.
Once the Loonatics arrived, Colonel Trench told them about a young criminal named Time Skip, who broke into the lab to claim back what was rightfully his, the indestructible Trollbot 9000.
It was at that moment Time Skip appeared, and froze everyone, taking them by surprise. Time Skip ran past the Loonatics and the guards, and got inside the Trollbot and took control. Everyone was soon unfrozen again.
Colonel Trench: We don't understand how he's moving so fast or how to counter it.
Tech: My guess is he's inducing temporal displays by fragmenting the quantum fragment.
Everyone just looked at Tech, puzzled.
Razer: He's manipulating time. A.k.a: He has the power to freeze time for a short duration so that way he can escape from our grasp and steal the Trollbot.
Everyone responded with a big "Oh," and nodded their heads in understanding.
Tech: (amazed) You understood what I was saying?
Razer: Well call it at a feeling but he is called Time Skip for a reason. Plus during my travels I did rumors about a weapon that stops time. But now is not important to talk about. How do we
Tech: We have to contact Dr. Fidel Chroniker, he's the world's most foremost genius on Time Display Theory.
Duck: Wait a minute! That old crank called HQ this morning, trying to hoodwink us into dealing with his "totally out of control grandson."
Razer: (Glare of realization.) You mean the one that you didn't bother hearing and hang up.
Time Skip had the Trollbot fire a missile as the Loonatics ducked for cover.
Ace: This is a wild guess, but don't you think he fits the bill?
Duck: (realization) Oh.
The Trollbot fired a big hole in the wall and left to go into the city.
Tech: My new Metallo Converter would turn that thing to dust, but it's back at headquarters!
Ace: Lexi warm it up while we pay Dr. Chroniker a visit!
Scene changes to Chroniker's lab. Tech, Ace, Duck, and Razer are there waiting for the man.
Chroniker: It's about time you showed up.
He was very dissatisfied with the lack of help that he had gotten about his grandson through all of this. Despite the attitude Tech was happy to see this man.
Tech: It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Chroniker. I've read all your research on time displacement.
Chroniker: Thank you for coming. (Glares at Duck.) At long last.
Ace: Eh, what's up with that, doc? How'd you know we'd be here at all?
Chroniker: I've called you every day for the last five days.
The group was surprised by this.
Razer: What?!
Ace: Wait a minute. Five days?
Chroniker: I've been resetting each day back to its beginning.
Ace: That explains the déjà vu!
Tech: Your time displaced. It works?
Chroniker: Yes. Unfortunately, my grandson Arthur who now calls himself Time Skip. Was irradiated by it one week ago. It imbued him with the power to phase time. Enabling him to leap moments ahead of the rest of us.
Ace: That doesn't explain why he stole the Trollbot 9000.
Chroniker: (Sigh.) Arthur quite a genius himself. He spent years designing a weapon exactly like the Trollbot 9000.
Razer: And then he found out that the military had something "similar". He took it hard and believe to acquire what was his.
Chroniker: impressive that figure that out after hearing that.
Razer: It's something I would've done.
Dr. Chroniker went back topic.
Chroniker: And that's why I was calling!
Everyone then glares at Duck and then Razer gaves him a smack to the head.
Duck: Alright, alright. Next time, I'll take a message. I'm a superhero, not a secretary.
Chroniker: In order to stop my grandson, we have to set a time trap."
Ace: You can show us what he can do?
Chroniker: Of course, observe.
He replayed the events that had happened earlier where time was stopped and Time Skip got past them and into the Trolbot 9000 before he took off into the city.
Ace: Can this contraption send things back through time?
Dr. Chroniker: Yes, of course.
Ace: Then let's get a head start.
Tech: Dr. Chroniker, rewind the clock.
Ace: So we can undo the déjà vu," Ace said
He shivered when he caught sight of the Trolbot 9000's foot coming down upon him for the third time. Same could be said about Razer when he saw his ship with him in it crashing and exploding.
With the day being rewound once again, the scene change to the Loonatics at the table. The doors open and out came a clean Razer. He came over the others with a note in his hand.
Razer: Is it me or did anyone got a note that seems it from the future. Because I got one of how to fi-
Duck: Your fixing the Oblitobot! Did you forget that thing almost-? How did I know this? Maybe Zadavia will straighten this out when she calls in the next few seconds…(gasps loudly)
Ace, Razer, and Tech stared at Duck, who was also surprised at what he just said.
At that moment, Zadavia's hologram appeared.
Zadavia: Loonatics, your assistance is urgently needed at the Acmetropolis Military Weapons Lab. Someone's broken in and is trying to steal the-
Duck: The Trollbot 9000! How do I know this again?
Tech: Because we're all remembering shadows of the future. Mental flash forwards. We're moving in time through a day that's already happened.
Ace: But there's something different about today. You thinking what I'm thinking?
Lexi: I was already thinking it yesterday.
Razer: Oh yeah.
Ace: Listen up, some of this might not make any sense…
Duck: Like it ever does.
Ace: But here's what we're gonna do.
Later on, when Time Skip entered the lab where the Trollbot was kept, without setting off any alarms or meeting any guards, the Loonatics were ready. Lexi, Slam, Duck, and Razer have already suited themselves inside the Trollbot. Which Razer is piloting it.
Razer: Not this time. You want it, come and get it.
They had the giant robot leave the military labs and went into the city, with Time Skip following in pursuit from inside a plane. They lured him towards their HQ, where Tech, Rev, and Ace were waiting for him, so Tech could vaporize the plane and set the time trap for Time Skip. Their plan was successful in imprisoning Time Skip inside a bubble to withstand his powers.
Time Skip: Let me outta here! Let me outta here!
Lexi: I'd say better luck next time, skippy, but your time's up.
Ace: Which is good. Cause we're all out of time jokes.
Dr. Chroniker arrives.
Time Skip: This bubble won't keep me forever. Then what do you do, huh?!
Razer: (turns his head to the Doc.) He's all yours.
Dr. Chroniker: Thank you. (Turns to his grandson.) Don't worry. I'll soon neutralize your powers.
Time Skip: You can't do this to me!
Dr. Chroniker: I can and I will.
Razer: It's for the best.
The police took Time Skip away.
Duck: Bon Voyage. See ya last week.
Lexi: And I thought this day would never end.
Ace: And I didn't know you were gonna say that.
Time After Time is done. Up next I'll would be working on Acmegeddon. I plan on making it a three parter. Like a episode of Loonatics vs Optimatus and then vs Shane. I'll give it a thought.
If you read New Year chapter, the man in the suit with black hair is not Shane.
