Loonatics Unleashed: Dark Reflections

By: Phoenix Ride

Ch.1: Jail Break!

Ever since the Loonatics had left Acmetropolis to become Guardians of the Universe things had been quite peaceful in the city they had left behind. All the criminals and supervillians were trapped in an unbreakable asteriod prision with no hopes of escape. That is however...until one day.

It all started at lunch really. Electro J. Fudd, relative to a long line of hunters, was staring a beautiful villianess Weathervane. He had a crush on her for quite some time since he had been trapped in this prision, so he gulped up the courage and sat down beside her.

The table was gleaming silver, and you could see both Fudd's and Weathervane's reflections on it's smooth metal surface. Just as Fudd was preparing himself for an opening line two hands suddenly popped out of the table dragging him downward into another realm. Weathervane got the same treatment, as did Sypher and Massive.

When all four villians disappeared the prision was suddenly cast in shadow and two glowing silver eyes pierced through the darkness, making every other villian in the room become trapped for eternity.

A portal opened admitting the four taken from the asteriod prision into the Mirror Realm. A lone figure sitting on top of a throne watched as the four entered her horrific kingdom.

"Where are we?" asked Fudd.

"Why don't we just ask her?" said Massive pointing to the figure seated on the throne.

"You four" said the figure " have been chosen to become my acolytes. Together we shall take down this pathecic world. Any who object will be shattered,"

"What do you mean 'shattered' ?" asked Sypher.

With a wave of her hand, Mira, a.k.a the figure on the throne brought fourth a harmless citizen. Suddenly, out of the mirror like surface around them the poor old man's reflection also stepped out. Closing her hand into a tight fist Mira made the man's reflection shatter into a million pieces. The flesh and blood version of the man shattered as well.

"Any more questions?" said Mira.

" What do you want us to do?" asked Weathervane.

"Lure the Loonatics to me and they shall be forever trapped in my Mirror Realm" said Mira " as payment Acmetropolis will be yours and yours alone,"

"Should we trust her?" asked Fudd.

"Do you want to end up like that man she just destroyed?" answered Sypher.

"No other option" said Massive and turned to Mira "we accept,"

"So where do we find the Loonatics?" asked Weathervane.

"In the center of the universe,"

"Life here is going to be torture" said Danger Duck to himself " if I have to give Tweetums one more bubble bath I think I'm gonna explode!"

For weeks the Loonatics had been building up a headquarters on Planet Blanc where Prince Tweetums ruled. After a last cosmic struggle with Zadavia's brother the Loonatics had decided to become galatic superheroes.

Although, while the others had been busy building a base Duck had been kept busy by Tweetums constant needs. Finally after nearly three hours of meeting Tweetums needs Duck finally had a chance to relax.

"Well" said Ace " looks who's here,"

"About time you showed up Duck" said Lexi " we're almost done,"

"Sorry" said Duck " but I've been busy attending to his Royal Highness,"

"Ah don't let Tweetums get you down Duck" said Ace " even though you nearly got incinarated by that musical maniac,"

"Thanks oh so much for the reminder" said Duck "I'm going for a walk,"

As Duck walked away Lexi looked at Ace.

"I don't think Duck really wants to be here" said Lexi " it's a little hard to leave your homeworld,"

"We can still return anytime we want to see if Massive or the other creeps are on the loose" said Ace " but I understand what your saying, maybe sometime this week after we finished building we'll take Duck back home,"

Meanwhile Danger was walking to one of Planet Blanc's natural wonders, Mirror Lake. It was so smooth that you would have thought the whole lake was made of glass. Sitting down next to the water Duck fingered the medallion that hung around his neck.

This medallion had nearly cost his life when Planet Blanc was under siege. Who would have thought that of all the people of the world Duck held the key to the destruction of the entire universe around his neck.

Suddenly Danger's attention was grabbed by a starnge glow floating on the water's surface. His eyes narrowed trying to get a better look at what form seemed to be forming out of the water. Then, like a big hammer had just been banged upon it, Mirror Lake shattered!

Duck jumped up in sudden fright for witnessing the horrifying scene. All that was left of Mirror Lake was big dark hole in the ground. Shakily Duck peered over the edge of the abysas and let out a squeal of fright.

Before he could flee a hand reahced out and grabbed the edge of the hole that was once Mirror Lake. Then another hand reached out to join it making Duck steps backwards in fear. Soon a gaint head of a dragon popped out of the ground with the glittering force of a daimond.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Duck screamed.

His scream of terror made it all the way back to Lexi's superpowered ears. Once she heard Duck's scream she quickly informed the others and went to rescue Duck with them following close behind.

The Loonatics almost stopped dead in shock when they saw what Duck was running away from. A gaint mirror-like dragon was chasing Duck straight towards them. Ace imedately took action and tried to force the dragon back by using his optic blasts, but they reflected back over his head nearly making him bald.

Slam tried his hand at it next and tornadoed up to the beast making enough distraction so Duck could get away. After Duck was at a safe enough distance Slam went into Thunder Mode and made apunch big enough to shatter a mountian. However, as soon his fist connected with the dragon's skin, the litle devil cried out in pain.

"That's impossible" said Rev after Slam was knocked away by the huge dragon's claw " that punch should have shattered the dragon to bits,"

"Unless" thought Tech " it's not made of glass,"

"What else can it be made out of?" said Duck once he rejoined his teammates.

"Well" stumbled Tech " daimonds for one thing. That would explian how Slam's puch didn't shatter the dragon to bits. Daimonds are the hardest substances on earth,"

"If it's so tough" said Ace dodging a swipe from the dragon's claw " then how can we beat it? I can't even hit this guy he just reflects my attacks,"

"Ace look out!" yelled Lexi.

The dragon had taken a deep breath and in the next few seconds a firey mirage of cyrstal clear daggers shot out of the dragon's mouth right at Ace.

"I got him," said Duck quacking Ace out of danger just in time.

Looking bored the dragon continued his way up to the palace.

"We got to stop that thing before it destroys Planet Blanc," said Tech.

"Thanks for pointing that out genius," said Duck already on his way to pursue the dragon.

Meanwhile Prince Tweetums was just drying off from his previous bubble bath when he spotted the dragon outside his window.

"Now that's something you don't see everyday," said Tweetum's before screaming in fear.

Half dressed Tweetum's ran right under the dragon banging into Duck just as the other Loonatics rushed to the scene. The dragon turned his head to look at Tweetum's sceptor, which the prince had grabbed during his sprint out of the bathroom.

Displeased at what he saw the dragon roared in fury and breathed another firey mirage of crystal clear daggers striaght at the group assembled before him. The Loonatics managed to dodge in time, including Tweetums, but a scream soon split the comforting joy of relief.

"Help!" screamed Lexi caught in one of the dragon's claws "Ace!"

"Come on!" Ace ordered to the rest of the team and they chased after Lexi.

Spreading out his massive, mirror-like wings the dragon took flight with Lexi still clutched in his claw. Before the guys could even register what had happened both the dragon and Lexi disappeared.
