Going Underground

When Duck and Lexi returned to HQ, they told the other members about the massive earthquake and the giant dirt mountain at new Chinatown. The footage was displayed on screen for everyone to see.

Ace: This mountain just came out of nowhere? Just like that?

Duck: I'm pretty certain, it wasn't there before.

Rev: Yeah, weird huh? But, now we can go skiing anytime we want, without having to leave downtown. When we work out an appetite at the slopes, we can stop in for Chinese take out at the bottom. Man! Acmetropolis has everything.

Then Tech walked in with a working model of Chinatown to map out the earthquake.

Tech: I've gone over and over it again and again, but I can't figure out what would've caused that kind of geologic instability.

Duck: Oh, I don't know. Maybe something like a giant meteor hitting the earth! Hmm? Ring a bell?

Tech: Perhaps if I had enough time to build a more detailed model. I did it during my break. Total rush job.

A little model train was running through the model town.

Sophie: You made a little train. That's cute, Tech.

Tech laughed.

Lexi: Tech, the little elevated trains are actually running...and on time.

Tech: Ok, now normally, when there's diatomic activity, the plates of the Earth's crust move like this. (Pushes button) No matter, how many variations I try, there's just nothing that would count for this.

When the mountain model bursts up, Slam took a bite of the model.

Slam: Chocolate!

Ace: Uh Slam, I believe that's mud you're eating.

Tech: Actually, I ran out of soil, so I used hot fudge.

Sophie took a few bites of the chocolate mountain model, while Lexi took one bite.

Sophie/Lexi: With nuts.

Then, Zadavia's hologram appeared.

Zadavia: Speaking of nuts, this attack was the work of one, Dr. Thaddeus Dare.

Tech: Thaddeus Dare? Nut as an understatement.

Sophie: Why?

Zadavia: He's a reclusive and rather old scientist, but brilliant none the less. Dare was convinced that one day, he would find a way to control all forums of rock.

Duck: Say what? Control rock? Hello, party of one!

Zadavia: He was hideously disfigured by the meteor crash. He went crazy and his rock experiments grew more reckless. He was finally banished by the scientific community and disappeared.

Ace: Let me guess, a guy that's into rocks went underground, right?

Zadavia: Deep underground. I believe he's preparing to take his revenge on the world that rejected him. And he may have just found the ultimate means.

Tech: The Jade Serpent Crystal.

Zadavia: Yes. The crystal that was housed in the science tower which sunk underground today.

Ace: What's so special about this nugget?

Zadavia: It's an ancient gem that has a unique atomic structure set to contain untold energy. If Dr. Dare has somehow harnessed the power of the crystal, there is no telling what he might do. You must find Dr. Dare and stop him.

Her hologram, disappeared.

Ace: Alright gang, let's jet!


The Loonatics used Tech's new drilling machine to go deep underground to find Dr. Dare's hideout. Tech was enjoying his new invention as he made sharps turns, making the others hold their seats tightly.

Duck: Quit doing that!

Tech: Don't worry. I've been working on my mobile map for a while. Just need a good excuse to take it for a spin. Ha, ha! Good thing I got almost all the kinks worked out!

Duck: I'll say. Wait! Did he say almost? Did he say almost?!

Sophie: Look!

Up ahead was Chinatown upside down.

Duck: The city's upside down, or is my stomach?

Ace: So that's where the buildings went.

Tech: Hang on, going down!

The machine dug through a dirt wall and went down a tunnel.

Duck: And we're how many miles beneath the earth's crust?

Tech: Not to worry. This thing's built with ultra-titanium double shields. Trust me. Nothing can stop us.

But, he was wrong. The machine came to a sudden stop.

Sophie: What was that?

Ace: A lot of nothing.

Tech: (Baffled) I don't understand. This baby should be able to smash through any king of rock.

Lexi: And what if the rock smashed back?

Sophie: (Alarmed) Guys!

Outside, giant rock golems rose from the ground and surrounded the drill machine, making everyone nervous.

Ace: Tech, get us out of here!

Tech: The sudden stop must've short circuited the engine.

More rock golems surround the machine as Tech frantically tried to get the machine going.

Ace: Hey, uh, Tech, can you reverse us out of this hole?

Duck: Yeah! As in back up, now!

Tech: Well I would if I could.

Duck: No reverse?

Just then, a rock golem's hand burst through the vehicle's glass and grabbed both Lexi and Sophie and pulled them out.

Ace: Lexi!

Tech: Oh no!

Lexi: Guys, little help!

Sophie: PLEASE!


Ace: It's got Lexi and Sophie! Let's rock!

The team, minus Tech, rushed out to save the girls, as they both struggled to free themselves from the rock golem's fist. Duck appeared and used his power to blast the rock golem and free both girls.

The fight was on as the Loonatics battled with he rock golems. Duck teleported from one place to another to distract the rock golem. Rev rushed in and out from the rock golems. Sophie used her Shock Claw into the rock golem while Lexi brain blasted the ceiling to bury a rock golem. During the battle, Ace accidentally blasted one down a deep ravine and onto Slam.

When Ace communicated with Tech, he told Ace that the scanners are picking up strange energy fields around them, meaning they were being controlled by the Jade Serpent Crystal.

Ace told Tech restart his drill machine, so he could defeat the rock golems. Tech tried to jump start it, but the cord was too short. He held the cord while putting his fingers into the socket and his long ears into the plug. The electricity disintegrated him, but Tech regenerated himself and went back to the driver's seat, mumbling while still smoking.

Tech: There has got to be an easier way to be a hero.

With the machine working again, Tech saved the day by using the drill machine to smash the rock golems with ease.


Lexi: So, what were those things?

Duck: Reminds me of some of the guys, who keep calling you - except the rocks have more personality! Ha, ha!

Annoyed, Lexi brain blasted Duck, right on the butt.

Duck: Yeow! Watch the feathers!

Sophie: (Shaking her head) You deserved that!

Duck: I was trying to be funny, doll.

Sophie's glowed as she grabbed Duck, by the front of his suit and brought him down to her eye level.

Sophie: (Growling) Call me that one more time and I will make you suffer!

Sophie lets go of him, and over to Tech, who began to calm her down. But Duck wouldn't let her have the last word.

Duck: (Boldly) Oh really? (Crosses his arms) How?

Sophie: (Glaring) I will tell Tech and Ace about the incident that happened, yesterday.

Duck suddenly paled, and quickly went to his seat.

Tech: (Mad) What did he do?

Ace: (Mad) Yeah?

Sophie: Something that he should never done it the first place. We can talk more later, we need to focus on the mission.

Ace nodded, but they will continue later, and by the way that Tech was glaring at Duck, means he was in agreement.

Ace: Those rock guards are the security guards, which means we must be close to Dare's lair.

Dr. Dare: You're not close, you're here! And just in time to see the power of the Jade Serpent to turn Acemtropolis upside down!

The underground cave shook all around them as more buildings came in upside down.

Ace: (Through COM) Tech, what's going on?

Tech: (Through COM) I told you he was a crack pot! Let's get going!

Sophie: He really is nuts!

The ground cracked and green rays of light shone within them, as Dr. Dare appeared sitting on a rock throne, and holding a rock scepter.

Dr. Dare: I hope you've enjoyed your little visit down here, because it's now your permanent residence! In fact, soon all of Acmetropolis will reside underground, and I will live in peace on the surface!

Ace: Are you kidding, Doc? That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard!

Dr. Dare: You won't be laughing, when you're buried in stone, bunny!

He then shoots a green ray from his rock scepter, causing the cave to crumble as he escapes. The Loonatics rushed back into the drill machine as rocks came raining down on them, burying the entire drill machine.


After a few moments, Slam used his tornado power to clear away the rocks.

Ace: Nice work there, Slam.

Slam: Thank you!

Ace: We gotta get up to Acmetropolis before-

But then, Zadavia's holographic face was on the screen.

Zadavia: Before there is no Acmetropolis. Dr. Dare is continuing to turn the world inside out. You must hurry, if you do not do something quickly, this madman will bury us all!

The screen went fuzzy right after showing various buildings being sucked underground. The drill machine went straight back up to the surface.

Ace: Nice driving, Tech! Looks like we're...

But as he looked, Ace was shocked to see the entire city was gone, flipped inside with only rock as the surface and the citizens left outside.

Ace: A little late.

Sophie: NO!

Lexi: It's Acmetropolis!

Duck: Talk about an extreme make over.

High on a rocky mountaintop, there was a giant rock structure overlooking the land, with a green light glowing brightly from the top.

Tech: Dare's using the Jade Serpent to turn our world inside out. So we've gotta use that gem to reserve it!

Using dune buggies that Tech made, the Loonatics drove their way up the mountain top to Dare's fortress, although Rev was the only one who didn't need a dune buggy as he could fly. When they arrived at the main entrance, rock golems appeared. Ace told Slam to attack the rock golems, but when Slam punched his fist into a rock golem, it turned to sand, having no effect of Slam's punch.

Then, the other rock golems shot sand out from their hands, making the Loonatics cover their eyes and fall back. The dune buggies fell over the edge, and so did the Loonatics. Slam quickly came to the rescue as he spun down the cliff and caught his friends in the tornado and lifted them back to safety.

Sophie and Lexi used their powers to cause an explosion beneath the rock golems, making them fall off the cliff and crash at the bottom. Once the team went inside the fortress, all they found was a green throne room with the Jade Serpent Crystal in the center, before the throne.

Sophie: Whoa!

Lexi: Looks like we're in Oz.

Ace: There's that jade nugget that's been causing all the trouble!

Duck: So, how do we reverse this thing?

Tech: This just off the top of my head, but I'd say you can do with a quanti-amplified charge of intense electromagnetic radiation.

Ace: Electromaga-waga...wait, wait. Uh Tech, do you mean light?

Tech: You make it sound, so boring.

Just then, Dr. Dare appeared.

Dr. Dare: The Loonapests! I thought I'd bury all of you down below!

Lexi: Haven't you heard? Down is the new up!

Ace: We would've called first, but you were unlisted.

Duck: And now we're gonna stop your insidious plan stone cold!

Dr. Dare: Stones are my domain, duck. But there's no reason, you all can't join my little rock group.

He waved his hand over a bunch of gem stones, making the Jade Serpent glow brightly. The power of the crystal slowly worked it's way up on each of the Loonatics's bodies, slowing turning them to stone.

Ace: Hey! What's with the rock candy?

Dr. Dare: You'll become my own personal statues! A commemorative of what once was, not that I'm paying tribute to you!

Tech: Ace, if we don't shut down that machine now, the entire planet is gonna-

He mouth was clammed shut by the glowing stone energy, before he could finish. Ace then uses the angled surfaces of the rock to bounce his laser beam into the Jade Serpent Crystal, freeing them all.

Dr. Dare: My lovely Jade Crystal! Noooo!

Now that the Loonatics were free, Dr. Dare decided that his only option is to run, like a coward. His escape attempt doesn't work as Lexi kicked down a flight of stairs and lands in front of Ace, where the two fought, with Ace using his sword and Dare using his rock scepter. Dr. Dare again tried to use the power of the crystal in his staff to Ace to stone. When he fired a green blast, Ace used his sword to ricochet the blast back into Dr. Dare, turning him into stone.

Ace: Hehe! What a stiff!


Sophie: We got the crystal. You think that you could reverse it, Tech?

Tech: Yes, I can reverse it.

He waved his hand over the gemstones, and the whole fortress shook as the Jade Crystal shot beams of bright green lights everywhere. The rays of green light hit the rocky surface and turned them upside down and bring Acmetropolis right-side up again on the surface.

Rev: Good job, Tech! Man, you are so smart! I wish I was half as smart as you. I really look up to you. I really do, except not socially, because I wouldn't want to spend all my free time in a lab, it would really be sad, but kudos on a job, well done!

Sophie: (Walks to Tech with a smile) You did great, Tech. (She leans up and kisses him)

Tech: (Breaking the kiss and smiles) Thanks, Sophie.

Duck: Oh look! I think I see New Chinatown! Eggrolls on me, Slam.

Slam: Eggrolls, eggrolls, eggrolls! Yes!


At HQ, the Loonatics had been given a free takeout from New Chinatown. The food had been set on the table.

Lexi: We should have New Chinatown from destruction more often. A year's worth of free takeout, excellent!

Then, Zadavia's holographic face was on screen.

Zadavia: The calls of thanks are still coming in. I also wanted you to know that Dr. Dare is enjoying his new life as a statue in Acmetropolis Park.

Ace: I'm sure, the pigeons are thrilled.

Zadavia: And we're receiving reports from all over, that things are returning to normal.

Sophie: Why don't you join us?

Zadavia: (Chuckles) That is sweet of you. I am a little hungry.

Duck: Finally! Some face time with the boss lady. We can discuss some new costumes, a better dental plan, a persona; biographer.

Sophie: (To Zadavia) How about some other time?

Zadavia: Agreed. Zadavia out.

Her hologram face disappeared.

Duck: Was it something that I said?

Sophie: (Sarcastic) Who you, Duck? Nope. It couldn't be.

Everyone except Duck sniggered.

Duck: (Sarcastically laughing) Hahaha, very funny doll.

Sophie started to shake as she glared at Duck, as everyone was looking between the two.

Sophie: (Seething) What did you did you just call me?

Duck then paled at what he just done, and before he could do anything, Sophie reached underneath the table and pulled out two baseball bats. She then got up and walked in between Ace and Tech, who were still seated along with the others, and placed the bats in front of them.

Sophie: (Seething) So Ace, Tech. Do you really want to know about the incident?

Ace: (Confused) What is it? and why do me and Tech, each need a baseball bat?

Tech: I am wondering the same thing.

Sophie: Yesterday, when me and Tech got up early in the morning to do our usual thing, Tech went to go and make breakfast for me and him, and as he was doing that, I was in the middle of changing. I heard the door open, and I thought it was Tech, but when I turned around (Glares at Duck, who was sweating) guess who was watching me undress, and saw me in my bra and underwear?

Lexi, Rev, and Slam gasped and then glared at the duck. Tech and Ace let the information sink in their heads for a moment. Then, looks of murder appeared on their faces as they're blood boiled, and steam was coming out of their noses. They picked up the bats, and began walking towards Duck, who was backing up from them.

Lexi: (To Sophie) You got a extra bat?

Sophie pulled one out from underneath the table and handed it to her best friend, who joined Ace and Tech.

Duck: (Panicking) C-Come on guys. It was a a-accident.

Tech: (Seething) Still. You saw Sophie getting undress.

Ace: (Seething) For that. We can't let you go easily.

Lexi: (Seething) So take the beating.

Duck then ran from them and screamed like a little girl, while he was getting chased by his teammates, who wanted to hurt him, as Sophie, Rev, and Slam watched the scene.

Sophie: (Taking a sip from her drink) He should of just kept his mouth shut.
