Loonatics Unleashed

Ace and his new mysterious friend, Deuce, had just escaped off an intergalactic train and landed Deuce's jet-cycle at City Hall Plaza by the fountain, where the rest of the team met up with them.

Lexi: Hey Ace, did you two hear about the runaway train at the park today?

Ace: Hear about it? (looks at his rear end) I got bruises to show for it I don't like to show. Guys, this is my new pal, Deuce. If it weren't for him, hah, my furry white tail would be toast.

Sophie: Nice to meet you, Deuce. Thank you for saving my brother for us.

Deuce: No big deal. You might say I have a way of being in the wrong place and the right time. ( Smirks ) Though I gotta say. You are one wolfish beauty, You wanna go on a date?

Sophie was then pulled into a certain coyote's protective arms as Tech gave a warn growl, and glares at Deuce. He did not like the way that Deuce looked at his fiancé.

Sophie: I am engaged.

Tech: ( Growls ) So. Back. Off.

Deuce: OK. OK.

Lexi: Sounds like you and Ace have a lot in common.

Ace took out his sword to clean off the handle with a cloth. Deuce gazed at the sword with great interest.

Deuce: Ace, I've been to every corner of the galaxy, but I've never seen a bad boy sword like that before.

Ace: Thanks, it was given to me when I got into the action hero business.

Deuce: Can I hold it?

Duck: Hey, I don't have to take this.

The mallard walked right between Ace and Deuce, and grabbed the sword's handle.

Duck: We've worked together for a year, and you never once let me hold your sword.

Their little tug-of-war for the sword on the fountain stopped, when Zadavia's hologram appeared before them.

Zadavia: I won't even ask.

Duck meekly let go of the sword.

Ace: Hey, Zadavia, there's someone I'd like you to meet. This here is-

Zadavia: (angrily) Deuce! (calmly) Hmm. I never thought I'd see you here.

Lexi: You two know each other?

Zadavia: Only too well.

Ace: Hey, is something wrong?

Zadavia: Let's just say, Deuce and I have had our differences in the past.

Deuce: (to Ace) She's right. (to Zadavia) Look, I know I made some mistakes. I'm only here to ask your forgiveness and a chance to start over.

Zadavia: (points guilty finger gesture at Deuce) Then, you've made a very long trip for no reason.

Deuce: (pauses) Perhaps I should leave.

Zadavia: Not perhaps. Definitely.

Deuce sadly got on his jet-cycle and flew away, while Ace looked sad to see him go.

At HQ, the Loonatics gathered around at the table in the meeting room with Zadavia.

Ace: So, why the bum's rush on Deuce, Zadavia?

The screens above them began to display black and white imagery of the intergalactic train and Planet Freleng.

Zadavia: During the fall of Freleng, the last craft to depart was the royal intergalactic quasar train. It was rumored to have carried cargo that could make a man king.
