"Loonatics, let's jet." Ace said. Then he turned to Lex and Danger. "Lexi, you and Duck go warn this Zane guy. He could be in danger from his own creations. The rest of us will work on roundin up the fur balls that are still out there." He said. Then they were off.
An undetermined time later, Danger and Lexi arrived outside professor Zane's laboratory. The lights were all down, and the structure appeared to be abandoned.
"Looks like no one's home." Danger said.
"No, someone's in there. I can here breathing inside." Lex said. Then she continued towards the building.
"Show off." Danger said. Then he followed her to the entrance.
"Hello? Professor Zane?" Lex called as they entered the darkened laboratory. "We've come about your bio-pets. We have reason to believe that they're very very…"
Before Lexi could finish her sentence, the sight of three monster fuz-zs interrupted her thoughts.
"Well, looks like they've already had their chocolate today." Danger said somewhat casually.
"I hope that's all they crave." Lex said.
"Not only do they love chocolate," Came the voice of Professor Zane from behind, instantly grabbing Lexi and Danger's attention. "they also have a taste for duck, and rabbit." Zane continued as he turned on the lights. "And guess what, it's feeding time!" He said gleefully. Then his demented laughter filled the room.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Acmetropolis. Ace and the others were busy dealing the fuz-z infestation.
"Vacuum capacity, good. Suction, stable." Tech said as he checked the X-ovac's instruments.
"How ya doin back there Slam?" Ace asked over his wrist-com. Slam grunted something or other in reply as he continued to operate the vacuum thingy.
On the ground, Rev was busy grabbing up as many fuz-zs as he could from various pedestrians.
"Excuse me. Coming through Coming through." Rev said as he raced down the street, snatching up bio-pets.
"Whoa, what was that?" Asked a dumfounded boy.
"Do you mind if I barrow this for a while?" Rev asked after confiscating fuz-zs from another a group of pedestrians. Then he zipped over to four particularly confused looking bystanders.
"Sorry, this is a no fuzz zone." He said. Then he sped off in search of more fuz-zs.
Soon, the city was nearly clear of the fuz-z menace. But not completely. A single girl had managed to conceal her bio-pet behind her back as the Loonatics raced by. However, she didn't remain unnoticed for long .
"Hmm, picking up something on my internal sensor." Rev said shortly after passing the girl. "Yes, there's one remaining bio-pet." He said as he locked onto it's location. Then he zipped over to the girl.
"Hello. Maybe you should think about getting a cat instead if you really want something to cuddle with." Rev said as he snatched the bio-pet. "They're just as cute and furry. But of course, cats don't do tricks, and can be so prickly. So if you don't mind, bye!" He said. Then he was off again.
"Mission accomplished." Ace said. "How are things on your end, Lex?" He asked over his wrist-com. No reply came. He tried again. "Lex?" He said, again waiting for a reply. There was none. "I got a bad feeling." He said to Tech. Then he turned the X-ovac around and started back towards the tower. "Let's ditch the fuzz balls for now, Tech, and bug out." He said. Then they dropped off the mass storage unit containing the gathered fuz-zs at the tower.
"Switching to turbo-vac jet mode." Tech said as he pressed a button on the control panel, converting the X-ovac into a sleeker, more high speed formation.
Once the change was complete, they set off to check up on Danger and Lexi. Neglecting to notify Rev in their haste.
"Hay, wait up!" Rev called when he noticed they were leaving without him. Then he took off after them.
Meanwhile, Lexi and Danger were busy chatting with professor Zane. While being restrained by two monster fuz-zs of course. Why Danger hadn't yet escaped, is still a mystery to me however.
"So you knew all along chocolate mutated the fuz-zs." Lex said to Zane in an accusing tone.
"Knew? I made sure of it." Zane replied. "Of course, my first two fuz-zs weren't supposed to transform so soon. Not until I had completely flooded the entire city with bio-pets. One pulse from my electric leash, and the savage beast are under my control."
"So you wanted all the fuz-zs to take the chocolate express to creatureville at the same time, and tear Acmetropolis apart." Lex said indignantly.
"Sounds like someone's mommy didn't buy them enough chockies when they were widdle." Danger joked.
"Oh, you're just as naïve as the Acmetropolis science council." Zane said. "Imagine, firing me because they deemed my experiments too dangerous. They never appreciated me or my genius, my…"
"Insanity? craziness? Am I getting close?" Lex asked.
"Hardly." Zane replied gruffly. "I decided that Acmetropolis needed to see firsthand what I am capable of. When the meteor hit earth, the impact opened all kinds of fissures."
"Including the ones in your brain, Mr. Zane?" Danger asked. Zane ignored him and continued.
"I discovered these delightful creatures. Their biology was perfect for the experiments I had in mind. Experiments that led to the fuz-z." Zane said as he reflected on one of his many experiments.
"So cute and cuddly, until they have a bit of chocolate. Then the only way to stop them, is with this." Zane said as he pointed to the electric leash in his right hand.
"Care to demonstrate?" Lex asked as she and Danger struggled to avoid being eaten by the two monster fuz-zs that held them.
"No. They need their protein." Zane said with a fiendish smirk. Then an abrupt explosion suddenly rocked the lab. Before the smoke even had time to clear, the X-ovac came sailing into the lab through the hole made by the explosion. It quickly came to a stop in midair, and continued to hover there.
"See, too much chocolate can make ya sick." Ace said as if he'd just saved the day. Then he and Tech sat back and watched as Danger and Lexi freed themselves from the two monster fuz-zs.
Once on the ground, Lexi and Danger were again attack by the two monster fuz-zs. They nimbly dodged as one of the creatures brought down it's massive foot to stomp them. That's when Ace, Tech, and Slam, finally decided to join in, and leapt from the X-ovac's cockpit.
Meanwhile, professor Zane ran over to a large switch near the far side of the lab, and pulled it. Several containment pods filled with fuz-zs came crashing to the ground.
"Oh, dear me. What kind of host have I been?" Zane said. "Would anyone care for some…chocolate?" He asked as he pulled the switch once again, opening a large vault containing massive amounts of chocolates.
"The effect is temporary. But the more they eat, the longer they last." Zane said as the chocolates spilled out onto the floor.
"Then no more chocolate for them." Ace said. "Slam, Rev, time for a little candy run." He said. And with that, Rev and Slam went to work gathering up the chocolates and transporting to another room.
"Duck, the control box!" Ace said while pointing towards Zane.
"What about it?" Danger asked. "Oh, Right!" He said after realizing that Ace meant, get the control box. Then he produced a large power orb in his right hand and hurled it at Zane.
"Heads up!" He shouted to Zane just before the orb smacked him in the face and took him off his feet. Fortunately for Zane, it was merely a filled with tar.
As Zane ran around screaming his head off and desperately trying to remove the tar, Danger dove for the electric leash thingy he had just dropped.
"I got it!" Danger said as he snatched up the device. That's when the treacherous little beastie in Lexi's backpack suddenly decided to betray them once again, and slipped out to get some chocolate.
"Zozo!" Lex called as the little abomination hopped away from her. Then the little fiend in Danger's backpack followed suit, and escaped as well.
"Wonderfluff! No!" Danger called. But the little monster ignored him, and joined in on the chocolate munching.
While Danger was still distracted, Zane finally managed to remove the tar from his face. Then he turned and attempted to take back the electric leash that Danger had just confiscated.
"Hay, this is no time to dance!" Danger said as they struggled over the device.
Meanwhile, three more little monsters, were becoming big monsters. Once fully mutated, they joined with the other monster fuz-zs, and converged on Tech, Ace, and Lexi. One attacked ace, who dodged. While the other grabbed up Lexi.
"Hang on, Lexi." Tech said as he activated his magnetic powers. Then he pulled a metal support rail from an overhead walkway, and used his powers to wrap it around the monster fuz-z's legs.
The creature fell backwards, nearly crushing Danger and professor Zane. And in the processes, lost it's grip on Lexi. She landed gracefully on her feet, like the practiced acrobat she was. Then both she and Tech, were almost immediately snatched up by the ever traitorous Zozo.
"Not again!" Lex complained. "Ace!" She called as Zozo prepared to gobble her down.
"On it, Lex!" Ace said. Then he jumped on Zozo's head, leapt towards Zane from there, and snatched away the electric leash as he landed. Then he jumped again, only to be snatched out of midair by a purple monster fuz-z, causing him to drop the device. Zane immediately made a dash towards the spot where it landed, attempting to regain control of the situation.
"Not so fast, Zany!" Ace said as he fired his optic blast, causing Zane to stumble. Next, he slammed both of his arms down on the purple monster fuz-z's hand, causing it to releases him. Then he leapt from it's hand and grabbed up the electric leash.
"No snacking guys, you'll spoil your dinner." Ace said as he turned device on all the monster fuz-zs.
"My babies!" Zane cried as he watched all his plans crumble. Then, with no more giant monsters under his control, he was easily apprehended by the Loonatics only moments later. And not long after that, he found himself being locked away in a padded prison cell.
With Zane safely behind bars, there was only one thing left on the Loonatics to do list. Dumping the numerous captured fuz-zs in some murky and foreboding pit in the middle of nowhere.
After the X-ovac's mass storage unit was completely emptied into the pit, Danger and Lexi's fuz-zs were the only two left in all of Acmetropolis. And it was time to say goodbye to them as well.
"Time to go." Lex said to the little pink mongrel she held in hands. But the little abomination didn't want to go, and wrapped it's rat like tail around the back of her neck.
"Oh come on, you'll be much happier there." Lex said. "No deranged scientists to mess with you, and no chocolate…let's hope."
Next, it was Danger's turn to say farewell.
"I salute you. You've been a brave solder, Wonderfluff." Danger said. "I also fear you. But, let's not go there now." He added. Then both he and Lexi threw their fuz-zs to their deaths along with the others. The little mongrels shrieked in terror as they plummeted towards what they knew would be their end.
The moment that the last of the fuz-zs were finally disposed of, a call from Zodavia came in on Tech's wrist-com. He answered it, and the wrist-com began projecting a holographic image of her.
"Congratulations Loonatics." Zodavia said. "Thanks to your efforts, professor Zane's nefarious operation has been shutdown. Take the rest of the day off. You deserve it. Zodavia, out." She said. Then she terminated the transmission, and the holographic image was gone.
"You know, fuz-zs are so over. I've already moved on to the next big thing." Danger said. Then he reached behind his back and retrieved a strange looking case, with what appeared to be a miniature circus inside. "Take a look at this!" He said enthusiastically.
"A look at what?" Lex asked, slightly confused.
"Oh, a little hamster play house." Ace guessed.
"No. A little flea circus." Danger corrected.
"I don't see any fleas." Lex said as she took a closer look.
"Looks like there's a hole in the box." Tech pointed out.
"Oh great, so where are the fleas?" Danger asked rhetorically. Then the unbelievably monsters looking fleas, made their presence known by munching on his backside. His screams echoed throughout the entire area.
What a sad and embarrassing ending. Nevertheless, it is, The Ending.
In closing, I would just like to say thanks to all who reviewed. Especially my first two reviewers, Jessi the Fangirl, and dOMITUPSYK. :) And let's not forget Shark, my third reviewer.
I would also like to thank those who read and didn't review. Your hits alone tell me that you care.
I'd also like to thank whoever wrote the original episode script. Wouldn't seem right if I didn't.
