The Comet Cometh

It was a pleasant evening for Acmetropolis. The sky was glowing orange as the sun at set over the horizon. We are taken to the biggest park in the city where a ceremony is taking place to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of the meteor strike. On a platform in the center of the park, the Loonatics stand from right to left; Tech, Rev, Rip, Ace, Lexi, Slam, and Duck. In the center, the Mayor of Acmetropolis is giving a speech.

Mayor: "-which is why we are gathered here today, the one year anniversary of the meteor's impact, adjusting to this new world has been a difficult journey for all of us."

Slam is having a little trouble staying up and Lexi gives him a nudge. Duck has a mirror and checks if he looks good.

Mayor: "Fortunately, we have had help from seven extraordinary individuals who have watched over and protected us. And now, it is my great pleasure to present this small token of our appreciation to the brave individuals known as The Loonatics."

The crowd gives a cheer as Ace steps up to receive the award.

Ace: "Thank you very much, Mayor. It's a good thing that destruction doesn't every day rain down upon us."

Before Ace finishes, a sudden rain of red hail falls.

Rip: "What the?"

Lexi: "Great. A hailstorm and me without my umbrella."

Then Tech catches a few of the hail.

Tech: "This isn't hail. These are rock pellets. They're not even from this planet." Everyone looks up and soon, larger pieces of rock falls down. "It's a meteor shower!"

Duck: "And I don't think an umbrella's gonna help." Duck sarcasticaly says.

Then a larger pellet the size of three cannonballs falls and Lexi blasts it with her sonic blast.

Ace: "Hit it, Loonatics! We've got people to save!" Ace orders.

Ace blasts pellets with his laser eyes, Lexi blasts with her sonic blasts, Duck uses his energy balls, Slam punches the large pellets with ease, and Rip uses his psychic powers to keep the pellets from hitting people.

Ace: "I thought the weather channel called only for partly rocky!" Ace jokes.

Tech activates a shield form the forearm of his suit that covers the front in a large half radius and protects him, Rev, and Rip.

Tech: "Rev, fetch my Neutron Cannon!" Tech orders. Rev speeds off and returns in two seconds with numerous cannons.

Rev: "You didn't say whether you wanted the Diffraction Neutron Cannon, the Beam Starter Neutron Cannon, or the one that goes "Gah-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah-gah!""

Tech takes one cannon and the other Loonatics take one also and blast the pellets as quick as they can, but the pellets keep coming at a seemingly infinite cycle.

Lexi: "How long can we keep this up?" Lexi starts to tire.

Rip: "I'm running out of energy!" Rip starts to tire also.

Ace: "Slam! Set your spin cycle on suction!"

Slam activates his tornado and sucks large amounts of pellets. Rev speeds through the park to get the people to safety.

Rev: "All aboard! Rev Runner Express coming through! Ok, ladies and gents, no need to pack your bags. We're all traveling light!"

Then a large pellet heads for the mayor and Duck gets her to safety.

Duck: "Have no fear! Danger Duck can get people to safety in a flash!"

After about twenty minutes, the pellets finally stop, leaving the park in ruins, but thanks to the Loonatics, no one was seriously hurt. The Loonatics return to HQ and meet at the table.

Ace: "Alright, Tech. Bring out the big words."

Tech activates the monitor and shows the next threat the team faces: Another meteor! Worse, this one is far much bigger.

Tech: "The meteor that hit Acmetropolis a year ago was a trial run. This one is 500 times bigger than the original." His scanners show the original meteor strike, then a comparison chart using Slam's image and comparing it to the original and new meteors.

Ace: "Kind of makes you miss the good old days, huh?" Ace jokingly asks.

Rip: "Looks like history repeats itself." Rip says "Hope this doesn't happen every year."

Duck: "Great! So, when the next one hits, EVERYONE will have superpowers! I don't need that kind of competition." Duck says upset.

Lexi: "After this one hits, there won't BE anyone! Period." Lexi reminds Duck.

Then Zadavia calls.

Zadavia: "You're absolutely right, Lexi. Which is why you need to journey into space before that meteor hits Acmetropolis."

Duck rushes to the table.

Duck: "Well, that won't be much of a problem. We laugh at danger." Duck does a laugh. "Besides, what's so scary about a little space voyage?"

Rev and Rip come up to Duck.

Rev: "Well, there's cosmic rays, air loss, zero gravity."

Rip: "Deadly aliens, black holes, supernovas."

Duck: "See? Laughing already." Duck says with some worry about space.

Zadavia: "Glad you understand. Now before you journey into space, I suggest you get some quick training done. You must be prepared for this. Zadavia out."

Zadavia's hologram ends.

Ace is in the training dojo fighting with some bots to test his reflexes. How quick he can strike, how well he can aim his lasers, and how quick he can react. Then Lexi comes in.

Lexi: "Couldn't sleep huh? I usually count sheep. But, that's just me."

Ace: "It can be hard to sleep with a giant meteor coming." Ace says as he stops. "This is the biggest mission of our lives. Got to be ready for anything." Ace twirls his pole, not noticing his face is sweaty. Lexi hands him a towel.

Lexi: "You always land on your feet. Is it so hard?"

Ace: "Believe me, Lex. I've had a lot of practice." Then Ace's uniform triangle glows and we see his past before the meteor struck.

It was a movie set and a scene of a human-destroying robot was being filmed. A woman was cornered in an alley. Then a man appeared and challenged the robot for a 1 on 1. As the robot swung and prepared to strike, there was a loud "cut!" The director comes out with excitement.

Director: "Oh man, Dave! That was great! Now take a break while we shoot the fight scene." Dave goes for his break. "Where's that stunt rabbit?"

Ace comes out in human garb, the same clothing Dave was wearing, for the part of playing the stunts of the fight scene. He has a mask in his hands with Dave's likeness.

Ace: "Right here. And that would be "Stunt Bunny."

Director: "Whatever. Now, like we rehearsed, hmm?"

Ace: "Sure, doc. But, I've got some ideas you might like. Say perhaps I add a few kung fu moves?"

Director: "No can do. You see I am the director, which makes me the boss and that means you do the scene the way I tell you to do the scene, hmm?"

Ace hides his upset look good enough and accepts.

Director: "ACTION!"

The robot grabs Ace by the ears before he can put the mask on and beats him up. Ace walks back up the stage with a couple of bruises and he falls down with a dazed look. As he gets up, people are gasping and screaming. He looks up and notice a large fireball coming down from the sky. As it hits the ground, a powerful shockwave knocks him hard back and the flashback ends.

Ace: "It's show time." Ace declares. Lexi meets with Duck in the meeting room on the top floor.

Lexi: "Any more meteor showers, Duck?" Duck gives a few dramatic poses.

Duck: "Nope. But, the fit and handsome superhero stands calm but focused, confident that should danger arise, he's ready to protect the lives of-"

Lexi: "A simple "no" would have done, Duck." Lexi says in annoyance. "Have you always been like this?"

Duck: "Stoic in my resolve to be the best superhero ever? Why, yes." Duck says and his uniform triangle glows and we see his past.

Duck is a sitting on a lifeguard chair overlooking a pool with kids. He is really enjoying it and usually talks to himself in a dramatic voice until the real lifeguard comes up and orders Duck to start cleaning the pool. It was a bitter and humiliating job for Duck's ego. He had dreamed of being a lifeguard and saving those who had trouble swimming, but he was stuck at the bottom being a pool boy who cleans the pool. He was mostly removing diapers. Not a good career.

Duck: "Oh, will someone or something please just put me out of my misery!"

Then a large fireball catches his eye. It lands in the harbor and sends a large shockwave towards him.

Duck: "Oh, me and my big mouth..." Duck manages to say before the shockwave strikes him and the flashback ends. His past self gives a scream and he seems to have lost himself in the flashback that he shakes himself out of it. Lexi is amused.

Lexi: "Well, I've gotta hand it to you, Duck, you've come a long way since diaper duty."

Duck: "You've got that right, toots. You've got to be fearless when you step into the spotlight like me."

Lexi: "Oh, believe me, Duck. I know exactly what it's like to step into the spotlight." Lexi says and her uniform triangle glows and we see her past.

It is the gymnasium of the high school and Lexi is trying out for the cheerleading squad. She had been practicing for quite some time and she was ready to tryout. She takes the spotlight and gives a performance that is truly worthy for a leader of a cheerleading squad. The judges are most impressed, but a seemingly jealous judge does a lame-brained move. She tells Lexi that she doesn't have what it takes. Many people give gasps of surprise and shock and Lexi has a disappointed look on her face. Then, the gym begins to rattle like an earthquake just hit. It starts to collapse and people scatter while Lexi is knocked down. Then, the door forcefully opens with a blinding flash and envelopes a somewhat calm Lexi and the flashback ends.

Lexi: "I am ready for this mission. And I know I will be as brave as you, Duck." Lexi says with great confidence.

Duck: "Dare to dream, Lexi. Dare to dream." Duck says calmly in agreement.

The Loonatics gather at the top of HQ. A large round object is covered in a tarp.

Ace: "So, Tech, how are you gonna get us up to that big rock?"

Tech grabs a rope attached to the tarp.

Tech: "Presenting, the Tech E. Coyote Space Stream 8000." Tech proudly declares and pulls the rope and the tarp comes down, revealing a large circular vessel designed like a UFO from the 20th Century.

Duck: "Kind of a little retro ain't it?" Tech pulls out a blueprint of the ship.

Tech: "No, but it's just the thing we need to destroy that meteor."

The Loonatics enter the ship and take their seats. The seatbelts lock on, and the seats move to their respective stations at each window of the ship

Ace: "You never seem to disappoint us, Tech."

Rip: "Yeah. No obstacle too big."

Tech: "Oh, if only the big fellas at the Acme Institute could see me now." Tech says with excitement and the triangle on his uniform glows and we see his past.

It's the Acme Institute and it's just a few days from graduation. Tech is showing his project for his final exam. He is showing it to the chancellor. The demonstration has been going on a little longer than usual.

Chancellor: "Could you hurry, Tech? You're keeping us from lunch."

Tech: "Apologies, sir. I just need to do a quick diagnostic."

Chancellor: "Oh, let me do it."

Tech: "Be careful! I installed a self destruct for extra credit!"

Chancellor: "What?" Then he causes the self destruct. Smoke erupts from the window. Tech steps outside in tears.

Tech: "My baby..." The chancellor comes out with a huff.

Chancellor: "Extra credit, huh? Well, I'll be sure not to have that as extra credit anymore after this. Next time, don't be so obsessed with technology, or you'll never get it to work. Good day." He walks back in. Tech falls on his stomach.

Tech: "But it does work. If only someone could see it."

Then, a rumbling catches Tech's attention. He looks back and see's a massive explosion in the direction of the harbor. The incoming shockwave eradicates everything in it's path and knocks Tech down. Then the flashback ends.

Back in the spaceship.

Tech: "It'll work. I know it." Tech presses the big button and activates the ship.

The ship's engines hum to life as the ship's ring lights up in blue and it slowly lifts off and Tech pilots the ship into a perfect takeoff.

Tech: "Perfect takeoff!"

Ace: "Great job, Tech!"

Lexi: "It may be retro, but it's cool."

Duck: "Yeah, cool. For a flying dinner plate." Duck says annoyingly remarks.

Rip: "Nice and smooth. I'll take it."

Tech: "Should be a smooth ride."

Then, a strange ray of a mix of colors heads for the them.

Rip: "We've got some kind of a ray heading right for us!" Rip calls out.

The ray hits, causing what feels like a bumpy ride.

Duck: "Some smooth ride." Duck sarcastically remarks.

The ray passes and the ship suddenly dies.

Ace: "Um, Tech? Why did it sound like the engines just stopped?"

Tech: "Um, well, that would be because the engines just stopped." Tech says nervously.

Ace: "Huhhhh..."

Then the Loonatics give a cry as the ship falls down in a crazy twirl.

Duck: "I think I just threw up in my bill."

Rip: "You just had to say it." Rip remarks.

Tech: "Rev, log into the lab. Upload a copy of the control system software so we can reboot the system." Rev works at his console.

Rev: "Done, done, annnnnnnd, wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute, done." Rev copies the controls and uploads them to the ship's console. They are able to repower the ship, and fly it back up without hitting any buildings. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

Tech: "Alright, it should be smooth sailing from here on out." Tech assures.

Duck: "Yeah yeah yeah. I hope this is the good smooth opposed to the bad smooth." Duck hopes.

The ship approaches the Asteroid Belt.

Tech: "Once we get through the Asteroid Belt, we should see our target."

Rip: "As long as our target doesn't see us first." Rip worries.

Rev: "Hey, don't worry, bro." Rev reassures his brother. "Tech has plotted us a course that allows us to avoid hitting any large object. If anyone can do it, it's Tech. Besides, the chances of anyting hitting us in the Asteroid Belt is very slim."

Then, some of the asteroids are covered with the same light from the ray and fly into the ship.

Ace: "You might want to recheck those numbers, Rev. Cause we just got hit!" Duck looks at his console and see's more asteroids coming in.

Duck: "And you might want to recheck those numbers and find out why those rocks are using us for a punching bag!"

Tech: "Everyone! Into your inter cosmic space suits!"

Lexi: "Do we have a choice of color?" Lexi asks.

Tech: "Afraid not, but it will keep you from imploding." The Loonatics unbuckle and stand in the center of the ship one at a time. Tech goes first. He is given a blue suit that completely covers him. "Voila. It even comes with freshness."

The others each receive their suits. Later, Slam is gone.

Ace: "Wait a sec. Where's Slam?" Lexi looks at one of the monitors.

Lexi: "Hmm, he's outside, slamming away."

Slam is on the roof of the ship gripping a club like space rock and swinging away at the asteroids with a lot of excitement.

Slam: "FORE!" He swipes several more asteroids. "Fun!"

Lexi: "I haven't seen Slam having this much fun since his days in the wrestling ring."

Slam's outfit triangle glows and we see his past.

We are over the Acmetropolis wrestling ring on a tower. All the seats are taken as what is called the fight of the Millennium is about to take place. The announcer introduces Carlos the Conqueror, the favorite to win the match. Then he announces Slam as the Terror from Somewhere, Twisted Spinner. The match begins and it seems like Carlos is winning, until Slam jumps on his head and flips him out of the Ring. As the crowd roars, the meteor suddenly flies overhead and crashes in to the bay. Slam likes the sight and gives a "Pretty." comment and the flashback ends.

Slam was stuck in his flashback he didn't even realize that he was floating away from the ship. Rev and Rip save him.

Rip: "Way to save the day, Slam buddy." Rip says as he and Rev grab onto Slam's arms with smiles of gratitude and fly him back to the ship.

After several more minutes of flying, they see the meteor.

Lexi: "Meteor straight ahead."

The meteor has the appearance of a ripped off piece of land with a mountain range and sinister looking roots.

Ace: "Yeah, and it's BIG!" The meteor smacks the ship and tumble is.

Duck: "Are sure we can destroy that thing?" Duck asks with worry. Tech works his console showing a laser amplifier.

Tech: "Yes. To ensure destruction before it reaches Acmetropolis, I designed this device which will amplify Ace's laser by a full factor of, you guessed it, googol!"

Duck: "What is that exactly?"

Rev: "A one followed by a hundred zeros. Imagine Ace's normal laser and it fires at a force like the Death Star from Star Wars."

Rip: "It's a theory invented by Edward Kasner, coined by what his 9-year-old nephew came up with when he thought of a really big number, and I mean big."

Duck: "OK. Yawn! Really bored now. Stop." Rev and Rip give a stern look.

Ace steps up to the router for the cannon.

Ace: "Alright. Here goes nothing!" Ace presses his eyes to the goggles, and fires his laser into it. The cannon amplifies the laser by googol and blasts the meteor, causing a massive explosion. "Any good?"

Lexi: "Afraid not!" Lexi says with worry as the meteor looks like it wasn't even scratched.

Rev: "What happened?" Rev says with shock.

Tech: "That blast only peeled of a layer of atmospheric dust! Impossible!" Tech is shocked at this.

Ace: "Maybe, Tech! Maybe! But if we don't find another way to stop that thing, Acmetropolis is going to be nothing but a BIG PILE of atmospheric dust!" Ace says with determination.

Duck: "So, what planet do we move to if we fail?" Duck jokingly says.

Lexi: "Very funny, Duck." Ace and Tech plan.

Ace: "Uhhh, Tech? Something's screwy out here. Besides him." Ace points to Duck. "First, the saucer powers down, then the rocks came after us, and now, that hunk of rock turns out to be laser proof. Time for Plan B."

Lexi: "Next time, let's start with Plan B." Lexi says and a canister of high powered explosives rise from the center of the ship.

Ace: "We land of the meteor, plant some charges at precise stress points, and then escape before the big ka-boom."

Rev: "Alright, back into our space suits." The team puts their cosmic space suits back on.

Ace: "Okie dokie, Rev buddy, you're the fastest. So we're counting on you to plant most of the charges." Ace hands Rev a bag with most of the charges.

Rev: "You can count on me, Ace. They don't call me the Speed Demon of Acmetropolis for nothing. Of course, I haven't always been the fastest. That's another story." Rev's uniform triangle glows and we see his past.

At the Quick Wrap sandwich shop, Rev is a delivery boy who's been trying to find ways to get meals delivered on time, with little luck. This order is nearly 5 minutes from free. The owner says he will take the money out of Rev's pay if he doesn't get it delivered on time. Rev makes a run for it with his newly invented rocket roller blades. He runs on a train, through a construction site and runs up steps, but doesn't make it on time.

Rev: "But, but I won't get paid." Rev depresses. Then a large flash in the sky catches his attention. The meteor crashes into the bay, sending a shockwave that pushes Rev back and the flashback ends.

Rev thinking: "I'm faster now, and I can't fail. I won't!" Rev snaps out of it.

Rev: "You won't have to duck my pay this time, Cookie."

Ace: "Hmm, who's Cookie?" Ace asks.

Rev: "What? Oh, I mean Ace." Rev says after snapping out of his memories. Then the ship lands on the meteor.

Duck: "Is it too late for Plan C?" Duck nervously says.

Rip: "Yep."

Ace: "Alright, everyone, you know what to do."

The Loonatics fly out of the ship from all directions and head for the stress points. They have devices that detect the stress spots where to plant their charges. Duck gets to his first.

Duck: "X marks the spot to the big ka-boom." He takes out his charge. "Now, the brave space ranger precisely positions his charges. If he's off by one micron, the entire mission will fail." Then, the ray of lights returns and brings the area behind Duck to life. It attacks, but Duck rolls out of the way. It grabs him and Duck telports out, but without his suit. He appears and inflates due to the lack of air. "Gasps. OK! NO AIR! BAD IDEA!" He teleports back into his cosmic suit. "Now, where was I?" Then the rocks pound him over and over.

Ace and Slam are preparing to plant their charges.

Ace: "Ok, let's get these babies planted." Slam excitedly agrees. Then, the light ray appears and melts the crust beneath them. "It's that cosmic energy again!" They sink waist deep and the crust hardens, trapping them. "Don't move, Slam. I'll save ya!" Ace uses his laser eyes to break Slam loose and Slam uses his tornado powers to free Ace. They plant their charges.

Lexi finds her stress point in a tunnel.

Lexi: "Time to blast you out of orbit." She plants her charge and sets the timer, not noticing the cosmic energy coming. A flash catches her attention. "What was that?" The energy causes the stalactites to fall and she knocks them away and blasts a big one with her sonic blast. Then she notices that the tunnel is caving in and she cartwheels out of it quick enough. "Yeah!" She says with pride.

Rip finds his stress point. He has two charges.

Rip: "Alright, big boy. Time for you to get really stressed." He plants a charge and then the cosmic energy comes, activates the other charge in Rip's hand, and knocks it into the ship. It explodes, damaging the engine. "Tech! The engine took a hit!"

Tech: "What?! What happened?"

Rip: "That cosmic energy triggered one of my charges and threw it onto the ship!"

Tech: "I can't make it!"

Rip: "I can fix it."

Tech: "Make it quick, we don't have much time!"

Rip: "On it!" Rip flies to the ship and retrieves building supplies from a compartment. He gets to the damaged engine and begins making repairs. "Oh, this is going to be tough."

Tech is preparing to plant his charge when the cosmic energy comes and activates the charge.

Tech: "Oh, man, that energy triggered the countdown!" Tech picks it up and Rev speeds off with it.

Rev: "Be right back!"

Tech: "Rev, get rid of that! It's set to blow!"

Rev: "You got it!" Rev throws the charge into space, but the energy wave throws it back down and can Tech catches it.

Tech: "Oh, dear." Tech nervously says and the charge explodes, singing him, but not the suit.

Rev: "Whoa! Did you see that? It stopped in mid-air! Man, Tech, it was that strange cosmic energy! It somehow knocked the charge of course. How do you explain that? And really, Tech, thanks for saving my life."

Tech: "A pleasure, as always." Tech says high pitched and he restores. The others form up.

Lexi: "Tech, you put the boom in ka-boom!"

Ace: "Hey, uh, Duck?" Care to join us?" Ace jokingly calls.

Duck is being pummeled still by the rocks.

Duck: "Be right there!" He fires a blast at the charge and flies back into the ship with the others. The charges are beginning to blow.

Ace: "Rip! How's the engine?" Ace calls.

Rip: "Few more seconds!" Rip calls putting the finishing touches on. Tech checks the monitor.

Tech: "The other charges are about to blow!" The others exchange very worried looks.

Rev: "Rip!" Then Rip calls out.

Rip: "Done! Fire away!"

Tech activates the ship and the engine works perfectly. Rip flies into the ship, the door closes, and they fly away just in time before the meteor explodes in a massive meteor shower. They fly through the cloud of debris and make it out in one piece.

Ace: "Well, what do you know? It worked!" Tech folds his arms.

Tech: "You say that like you're surprised." Tech says unamused.

Rip, very exhausted from the repairs, nearly collapses, but Rev holds him up and places him in a chair.

Rev: "I got ya, brother."

Rip: "Thanks, bro." Rip replies.

Tech: "Gosh, Rip. You certainly know how to make quick repairs." Tech says with gratitude.

Ace: "We'd be goners if it weren't for you, Rip buddy."

Rip: "No problem. It really pays when you spend a lot of time wanting to be a mechanic." Rip's uniform triangle glows and we see his past.

It's at Bob's mechanic shop. Rip got a job repairing vehicles after barely passing a mechanics training course. His boss, Bob, is quite the pest.

Bob: "Alright, bird. Let's see if you can fix this car in under a minute."

Rip: "A minute? I'm just a newbie." Rip complains.

Bob: "I don't want excuses, I want results." He tosses Rip the tool box and Rip gets to work. He works as fast as he can, but it's too complicated, even for a newbie.

Bob constantly walks over Rip's feet deliberately and makes the job harder. As the minute passes, Bob pulls Rip aside.

Bob: "You're too slow, bird." Bob says with a smirk. "My grandma can do it quicker." He pushes Rip into an oil barrel and it falls, causing a spill. "Oh, now you caused a spill!"

Rip: "You pushed me into that barrel!" Rip accuses.

Bob: "Watch your mouth!" Bob swipes at Rip and misses. Bob slips on the oil spill and falls on his back. Rip uses the opportunity to pour the rest of the oil over Bob's head, covering him up. "Oh, you rotten bird! Wait till I get my hands on you!" He tries to strike but misses every time and keeps falling down.

Rip: "That'll fix ya! Consider that my resignation!" Rip screams and he runs out. In his rush to get away, he slips on the oil on his shoes and falls down some stairs some distance away. "Oh, I hope you're having better luck than me, Rev."

Then a rumbling catches Rip's attention. He looks up and notices a meteor coming down. It lands in the harbor and the shockwave knocks him back and the flashback ends.

Rip: "You could say that the meteor really fixed me." The team give a joyful laugh. Then Zadavia's hologram appears in the center.

Zadavia: "Congratulations, team. Acmetropolis is breathing a very big sigh of relief and owes you a debt of tremendous gratitude."

Lexi: "Happy to help."

Tech: "This was our toughest mission yet."

Rev: "One that almost destroyed us, but we pulled through." As the ship flies back to Acmetropolis, Ace is having a bad feeling that something else is afoot.

Ace: "Well, mission may be accomplished, but this whole thing's got me thinking. What was that cosmic energy? There's something big going on. Something really, really big."

At a nearby planet, the energy wave flows from around the planet and a massive ship turns the corner. At the wheel, is a man with purple hair, a white hair at front, and his body is covered with a type of armor. His left eye is covered with a high tech cybernetic eye while his right eye glows a bright green. He glows with the same energy, meaning he is the source of it. He is disappointed.

Mysterious Man: "Twice, I have attempted to destroy Acmetropolis. The first time, I misjudged the meteor's effect. The second attempt was just demolished by those so-called "Acme Heroes." But the third time, the third time will be the charm." He clutches his fist and gives an evil laugh. The ship then goes around the planet again and disappears.

The true threat to Acmetropolis has been revealed. Will the Loonatics be ready for him? We will see.
