A/N: So this is my first story. I encourage you to read and review. Unlike many other authors on this site, I really don't care if you flame my story, so bring it on. By the way, this story (as the rating may entail) will get…intense, as in violence. But on the other hand there will be NO swearing in my stores (unless you consider words like dame, hell, or bastard offensive, that's as far as I plan on going), also it will be (in my opinion) well balanced with humor, drama, hurt, and comfort (mostly stemming from the TechxRev relationship). All right that's it. Now to the story.

Legal stuff: I do not own any LU characters. They belong to the WB.

Monster

It was an average day at the Loonatic tower. It was around noon and everybody was doing his or her favorite hobbies…for the most part. Lexi was listening to some music and reading a magazine, Duck was watching the news (mostly thou, he was waiting for the weather), Rev was playing a game of air hockey against him self wile Slam looked on, and Ace was meditating. Tech was also meditating (or at least attempting to) with Ace. This occurred only because of Ace pointing out that he seemed had stressed lately. Then after another twenty minuets of pressing the issue, Tech agreed.

He was, in fact, stressed. He was feeling this way because it had been a very demanding few days. As the resident inventor/genius/fix-it man it was his job to, not only invent new things, but also keep his old creations in working order. He usually did not mind this job, mostly because it was his favorite hobby. But just recently: he had to create three new wrist communicators from scratch, all six Zoomatrixes had been rendered inoperable for various reasons, and the Gluco-Gel 9000 suffered (or rather Tech suffered from) a catastrophic malfunction wile tying to apprehend a fleeing criminal. He had shot the weapon only to have sparks start to fly from it and moments later the weapon exploded , encasing Tech in a pile of sky blue sludge. He was stressed, not only because of the heavy work load, but also because he still felt a twinge of remorse and even pain when ever one of his inventions, one of his babies, was damaged or destroyed. He mostly kept it hidden now (mostly because he was tiered of being raged on over it by the others) but the felling was still there.

He was finding it difficult to reach the state of calm, soothing serenity that he understood to be the ultimate goal of meditation. He was being distracted by all the other things going on in the room. With the T.V., Lexi's music, and Rev's game (it did not help that Rev not only played both sides of the arena, he also took it upon himself to add the commentary for the game) he was beginning to think it was impossible. However that opinion soon changed when he peeked over at Ace and saw that he looked to be in the perfect state of meditation. Of coarse he was. Tech thought. He was an experienced and seasoned martial artist. He dose this sort of thing all the time. Well…lets give this one more try. He thought rather tiredly. After all, there were many things he was, but Tech E. Coyote was not a quitter. So he once again closed his eyes and concentrated on blocking out the noise. Then for one brief moment he did it. He finally accomplished his goal of relaxing and letting go of the stress he was plagued with. This one glorious moment of accomplishment was cut short when suddenly the towers alarm went off. The sudden jolt from peace and quiet to the loud and obnoxious ringing of the "incoming call" signal was so sudden that it caused Tech to fall off the platform onto his back. He opened his eyes and saw Ace staring down at him.

"Well, are you coming?" Ace asked with is trademark cocky smile and snarky tone. He then stuck out his hand to help his friend.

Tech could only sigh and say with smirk "Yah chief, I'm coming." He then reached out and took the rabbit's hand and was pulled up.

"So were ya able ta get t'a hang of it?" Ace asked as the two walked to the meeting room.

"Yes, for a short time any way. Although I can't help but wonder if it might be easier to try it some where else. Some where away from the… distractions." Tech said the last part to make sure nobody was offended. Ace new exactly what he was talking about.

"Well maybe. I just like all the noise around me to tell the truth." Tech gave him a strange look. "It's like when people listen to music wile they read. Your not really paying attention to the music, it just acts like white noise, you know. It's kinda soothing."

"There is nothing soothing about listening to Rev talk about beating himself at air hockey." Tech commented rather dryly.

"Hey-I-heard-that! I-don't-see-what-you-all-find-so-annoying-about-the-way-I-talk-just-because-I-speak-at-a-faster-rate-than-most-people-dosent-mean-"

"Thank you for proving my point." Tech cut in on Revs' tirade with this derisive comment. Rev simply turned his beak up and looked away in a dramatic fashion. Why dose he allways have to say that stuff. I expect it from Duck but not Tech.Rev mentally pondered the question he often found himself asking. He and Tech were close, of that there was no doubt. So why did Tech have to make comments like that at his expense? He had never had the courage to face the coyote about it. They were all finally assembled in the meeting room and Zadavia was already waiting.

"Greatings Loonatics. There is a problem."

"Of course there is. It's not like you ever call just to say 'Hi'." Duck rudely interrupted as he sat in his chair with his feet up.

"As you were saying Zadavia." Ace said as he gave Duck a death glare. Seeing this Duck simply shrugged and continued to kick back.

"As I was saying…" she continued "There is a robotic machine that is attacking a bank in down town Acmetropolis. It is not known Who may have made it. Never the less. It must be stopped." She finished in a firm tone.

"Don't worry Zadavia. You can count on us ta get da job done." Ace said in an equally confident and forcefull tone.

"I know you won't let me down. Good luck. Zadavia out." And with that her hologram faded.

"Well gang, you heard da boss lady. Lets jet!" Ace stated and they all took off for the hanger.

They were able to reach the bank in a short time thanks to their jet packs. The six heroes landed outside the indicated bank. But everything was surprisingly calm for a crime scene.

"Is-this-the-right-place-cause-it-doesn't-look-like-anything-is-wrong-here-so-" just then a large ATM machine came crashing thru one of the windows and landed in front of the heroes.

"Well I'd be surprised if this wasn't the place." Tech said

"Right. Lets go check it out." Ace ordered and so they all moved into the building. They saw a lot of destruction. The place was trashed for sure. What worried every one was that they could not see the cause of all the destruction.

After looking around for a short time in silence Duck finally stated exasperated "Well where is this bucked of bolts any way?" Just as he said this the wall behind him looked as if it was blown up as small pieces of debris and a large quantity of dust flew forward. Duck gulped hard and slowly turned around only to be greeted with the sight of the robot. It was imposing to say the least. It had to be at least 8ft tall and 4 tons. It suddenly lurched forward and Duck was forced to 'quack' away to avoid being trampled by the metal behemoth.

"All right tin man it's time you got oiled." said Ace taking a battle stance. (A/N:I know I know that sucked, sorry)

The robot turned its large, glowing red eyes toward the bunny. Then it began to move toward him, making the ground tremble slightly with each step. It was at this point that all the Loonatics went into action. Ace and Lexi started with a combined attack (Ace with his eye lasers and Lexi with her brain blast) but they seemed to have no affect on it. It just kept marching forward ominously. Then Slam took his turn. He charged up his tornado and charged at it. To every ones surprise, the robot simply grabbed both the devils arms and effortlessly launched him into the wall. Next Duck gave it a shot, literally. He began to throw several 'eggs' at the robot only to have them splatter against its body than slide off harmlessly.

"Boy. That's some tinker toy." Ace couldn't help but be impressed. His team was giving it they're all and still hadn't made a dent on the thing. Now Tech seemed to be the last hope of stoping this metal menace (Rev had already zoomed all around the bot and discovered that there was no way to dismantle it in the way he usually did with electronic enemies). Tech held up his hands and they along with his eyes started to glow green. Then green energy engulfed the bot. Unfortunately it did not do any thing to stop it. Then Tech had another idea. If he could not affect the robot directly then he could at least slow it down. So he began throwing metal objects at it. Pens, computers, tables, doors, and all manner of metallic debris came flying at the bot. But they all ether bounced harmlessly of its body, or were smashed by the force of the throw and the firmness of the robots 'skin'. Wow. This thing looks a little ridicules but it sure is impressive. Tech thought. It did look a little out of place. It had a cylindrical body, arms, and legs. The head was more conical in shape. To be honest it looked like a prop from a bad sci-fi movie from the 1950's.

Then to every ones surprise and confusion, the vandal robot proceeded to simply walk out the door and fly away using rockets hidden in it's feet (which was apperently it's origonal plan).

"What the heck? Where is it going?" Duck asked.

"Rev! Track it." Ace commanded his teammate. Rev put his hands on his head and his eyes started to glow red.

"Sorry-Ace. I-can't-get-a-lock-on-it-it's-just-gone-nowhere-like-poof-vanish-off-the-face-of-the-earth."

"Well that's strange." Tech said as he had his hand on his chin in thought.

"Well maybe we wont see it again." Lexi tried to put a happy face on the situation.

"I'm afraid that's not very likely. I'm not sure who could have build such an advanced robot. I'm also not sure what its mission was other than pure destruction, but I think were going to see that thing a lot in the near future." Tech stated grimly. They all stared in the direction that the robot had flown off. The sun slowly set behind them.

"Well this is going to be soooooo much fun." Duck couldn't help but blurt out. Totally ruining the mood.

Well that's the first chapter. Was it good? Tell me. Please. Chapter two should be about as long, maybe shorter. Also it will be up soon.
