Today was the hottest day in Acmetropolis and people were trying various to cool off, until a giant iceberg appeared and moved itself into the heart of the city, freezing people and vehicles everywhere, and frost covering the buildings.

In the tallest tower, where a green globe stood at the top, known as the Loonatics Tower and home to the famous superhero anthros. Sophie was reading a book while Tech was munching on pizza, when he realized that it was frozen.

Tech: Brrr. Now that is cold. (Takes a bite) Where'd you get it? Iceland?

Rev: Actually no. I just picked it up from a pizza joint downtown, which I must say is abnormally cold for this time of year, but if you really the pizza, they have last time. I could go back and get some be back at 4.2 seconds, but of course it's just am estimation, because you'll never know about traffic.

Tech shoved the frozen pizza in Rev's mouth, so that he could shut up.

Tech: That was one of those questions that didn't require an answer.

Sophie looked up from her book and laughed. She then turns towards her brother.

Sophie: Hey bro?

Ace: On it, sis.

He used his laser vision to melt the ice covering the pizza, making it crispy hot.

Tech: Extra crispy. Pizza, Duck?

The black mallard was looking himself in the mirror with a bed sheet as a cape.

Duck: Are you kidding? I've already had my protein shake. It's vitally important to maintain a superhero physique, because you can't be flabby, when you're...the Duckinator!

Ace: Yesterday, you were calling yourself, Super Duper Duck.

Duck: Yeah, well it wasn't quite rolling off the time. Besides, I need a name that will fit on the costume.

Sophie: (Smirking) How about...Duck?

Ace and Tech snickered.

Duck: (Sarcastically) Very funny.

Tech: (Handing a piece of pizza to Sophie) Want a slice?

Sophie: (Blushing, took the piece, and spoke shyly) Thank you.

Ever since they became a team, She and Tech became the best of friends, not to mention, Sophie has been harboring a crush on the coyote. It wasn't just his talents that started it, but it was his eyes. She felt like she could stare at them forever. She hasn't told anybody about her crush, not even her brother.

Sophie was cut off from her thoughts, when the doors opened and Lexi danced her way into the room, with headphones in her ears and moving to the rhythm. She took her headphones off, when she saw Tech and Sophie eating pizza.

Lexi: Tech, did you order more than one pie?

Tech: No, why?

Lexi: Cause, Slam is in the house.

The door opened again, and there stood Slam, half frozen. Sophie, Tech, Lexi, Duck, and Rev looked at him in bewilderment. A familiar beeping sound was heard and Zadavia's hologram appeared.

Zadavia: Loonatics, we have a problem.

Sophie: You have no idea.

Sophie rubbed some ice off the window to look outside. The city of Acmetropolis was freezing up.

The Loonatics all took a seat around Zadavia's hologram.

Ace: So what's up, Zadavia? Cause it's certainly not the temperature.

A picture appeared in a giant screen next to them. It was a giant block of ice.

Zadavia: So far, nobody can tell where this iceberg came from. I don't have to tell you, what will happen if the temperature keeps dropping.

Duck: I knew it, we're gonna loose cable again! (Sophie slaps him upside the head.) OW!

Sophie: Forget the cable. There's a giant block of ice in the city and its freezing out there!

Lexi: Oh great, those winter sweaters make me look chubbo.

Zadavia: When the meteor hit, your superpowers were the only after effect, this iceberg could be related.

Ace: I think, we can handle one iceberg.

Zadavia: Acmetropolis is counting on you to take care of this. Zadavia out.

Her hologram disappeared.

Lexi: When she goes out, where does she go? The movies?

Sophie: Maybe. She just stays at home, reading romance novels.

Ace: (Smirking) Like you?

Sophie: (Blushes) I can't help it. They are so good.

Ace: (Smirking) Sure. (Turns to Tech) Tech, we'll need some toys to melt this ice cube.

Tech: Excuse me, chief. they're not toys, They're precision handcrafted alloyed instruments.

Ace: We'll take those too, but first, the toys! (Sophie smacks him, upside the head) Ow!

Sophie: (Mad) Show some respect!

She didn't noticed the fond smile of Tech's face.

Moments later, the group was holding Tech's invention in their hands, look at them confused.

Sophie: So, what is this, Tech?

Tech: The retrofire master blaster. Hold it in the palm of your hand. Squeeze twice and...

Sophie did as instructed and it transformed into a huge gun. But when Slam tried, he accidently dropped the gadget. he fumbled with it until he stepped on it and active the blaster, sending him flying around the room. He was heading towards Sophie, who screamed, when she was grabbed by Tech and he moved her out of the way, and held her to his chest.

Tech: Uncurl your toes, uncurl your toes!

Slam did as he was told and the blaster shrunk back, letting Slam hit the wall.

Lexi: You gotta love the toys!

Sophie was still held by Tech, while she was blushing. It felt nice to be held by him. She wanted to enjoy this, but they have a job to do.

Sophie: (Smiling shyly) Um, Tech....Could you let go now?

Tech looked down and saw that he was still holding Sophie to his chest. He quickly let go while he blushed, and rubbed the back of his head, also smiled sheepishly.

Tech: Oh, sorry.

Sophie giggled at him. She then leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, making him blush more.

Sophie: (Smiling Fondly) But, thank you for moving me out of the way.

Tech: (Laughing embarrassing) Heheheheh

Ace smirked at the scene, and went back to business.

Ace: Time to crush some ice. Let's jet!

The Loonatics flew out of HQ with the use of their jet packs, except for Rev, who can fly.

Rev: Would you look at that thing, it's gotta be the biggest iceberg I've ever seen! I've seen some doozies, do you think we should put some more juice in the blasters? not that I have expertise or anything, but that is one giant-

Ace: Rev, watch where you're talking!

Rev pulled up just before he was inches away from hitting the iceberg.

Sophie: Focus, Rev!

Tech: Ok, what wise guy moved Mt. Everest?

Ace: Alright, snow cones for everyone. Set blasters on thaw!

Everyone took their blasters out and shot the iceberg, trying to melt it. But, the iceberg didn't thaw or melt.

Ace: Ugh, no dice. Alright, cease fire! Cease fire!

Everyone stopped shooting and their guns changed back into tiny gadgets. Tech seemed disappointed that his invention didn't work.

Tech: My retrofire master blasters dos not work!

Sophie: (Walks over and Rubs his back) It's ok, Tech. Maybe, they need some adjusting.

Tech: (Sighs) You're right. (Smiles at Sophie) Thanks.

Sophie returned the smile.

Ace: No worries, Tech. There's always plan B.

Everyone landed on the ground, where Ace told Slam to melt the ice. Slam spun around the iceberg with fire that seemed to be coming from who knows where.

Sophie: What did Slam have for breakfast?

The iceberg was starting to melt and people that were frozen were now unfrozen. Duck, however was jealous of Slam and tried "Quaking" his way into the ice which was now melting into water and Duck fell out. The temperate change to 78 degrees.

Ace: Good guys, one. Mother Nature, nothing.

Slam panted in agreement. But then, Lexi's ears perked up.

Lexi: Hold on Ace, Mother Nature might be done, but I'm picking something up.

Duck: Perhaps a high pitched dog whistle?

Sophie: No, me and Tech would of heard it.

Tech: (Nods in agreement) She's right.

The ice began to crack and the heroes ran out of the way just as the ice broke and water splashed everywhere. When the ice cleared, there stood a Viking Ship. The Loonatics gasped as they stared at the ship. The ship's doors opened as giant grey Viking robots jumped out and landed in front of the Loonatics. Each Viking held mallets and swords.

Ace: Boy, are guys lost.

A taller light blue and white Viking with red eyes jumped out in front of them. He was Gunnar, leader of the Ice Vikings.

Ace: What's up, doc?

Gunnar: I am Gunnar...

Ace: Gonna what? Go to a Viking convention at the civic center?

Gunnar: No, we are here to take over your world.

Ace: You know, you frosted flakes might as well go back to where you came from, cause this a 'no invasion zone'.

Gunnar: We will conquer your world by any means necessary.

Sophie walked in front of Ace, and glared at the Viking.

Sophie: No, you won't.

Gunnar: Yes, we will.

Sophie: No, you won't.

Gunnar: Yes, we will.

Sophie: Yes, you will.

Gunnar: No we won't conquer your world!

Sophie: (Shrugs) Have it your way.

Gunnar: (Frustrated growl) I will enjoy crushing you, mutt!

Then, he swung his sword down on Sophie, but she was able to dodge out of the way in time.

Sophie: (Growling and eyes glowing) I AM NOT A MUTT! I'M A WOLF!

It is a habit that she earned from Tech, where if someone calls them names, they get angry.

She managed to get a few punches on Gunnar, before she landed in front of her teammates.

Sophie: I can do this all day, Frosty.

Gunnar: Taste my cold steel! (Laughs) Time to chill out, wolf!

He twisted the handle of his sword and glowed light blue, then shot a blast of ice at Sophie.

Sophie: Nope!

Sophie dodged the blast and the other Vikings joined their leader, when he called out to them.

Gunnar: Hammers of frost!

They slammed their mallets to the ground and turned the ground into ice. Sophie slipped on the ice and fell backwards. Luckily, Ace was able to catch her.

Tech: Their weapons seem to be charged by a subzero hypothermal liquid solidification energy that, when fire can freeze-

Ace: (Put Sophie back on the ground) Yeah, I saw.

The Vikings surrounded the seven anthros and blasted them, covering them completely in a block of ice.

Gunnar: Let's put this city on ice!

Gunnar laughed wickedly as he and his Viking friends ran off to freeze the rest of the city, leaving the Loonatics frozen in their own iceberg.

While the city was being put on ice, Duck "Quacked" himself out of the iceberg, shivering.

Duck: Ok, I'm out! I'm out and I'm safe, which is of number one importance. No need to worry about me, I'm-

He looked back to see his teammates were still inside the iceberg. He knocked on the iceberg briefly.

Duck: Hello? You still in there? Don't worry, I'll try to get you out. I just don't know how.

Then, the ice berg shook violently as Slam created a tornado to break the ice berg and free his friends, and send Duck flying. One free, the group rubbed their hands on their arms to stay warm.

Ace: N-N-Nice work there, Slam.

Sophie: T-T-Thank you.

Slam respond with a smile and some grunts.

Duck: I would've busted you out myself, if you just give me, time to think.

Ace: We had second, not hours, Duck. (Walks away)

Duck: (Mutters) I liked you better as a snow bunny.

The Loonatics looked around. The streets and buildings were frozen.

Ace: I love what dey done with da place.

Lexi: Snow drifts are very trendy this year.

Then, they heard a beeping sound.

Ace: Sounds like Zadavia.

At the communications terminal machine, Lexi pushed a button and Zadavia's holographic face appeared.

Zadavia: I guess you know by now that these are no ordinary Vikings.

Sophie: Yeah, they don't even sound Scandinavian.

Zadavia: I believe the iceberg slipped through one of the interdimensional portals that opened up after the meteor hit. These mutant techno Vikings must have been frozen inside during an ice storm in their own dimension. But now that they're here in Acmetropolis and have been released-

Ace: They can freeze and paralyze the world, so it's easy for them to take over!

Zadavia: Precisely. But right now, you have bigger problems...

Before she could finished, something blue hit the spot, where they stood and destroyed their communication with Zadavia. The Loonatics lay on the ground, when Ace and Duck sat up.

Duck: I didn't get the last part, what are the bigger problems?

Sophie: That!

Everyone looked to where Sophie pointed. The Viking ship appeared and it was shooting ice balls. An ice ball came at the anthros, but they got out of the way in time. The Dragon shaped head was shooting more ice balls at other parts of the city.

Lexi: If their trail leads to the city, what are they doing back on their boat?

Ace: Maybe they didn't want to miss the dinner show. Gunnar on ice! Let's jet!

Ace moved forwards, But Duck went up first.

Duck: Right! Ready team? 1... 2... 3!

But the jetpack only coughed smoke. Nothing happened.

Ace: The ice must've short circuited our jet packs. No worries.

Sophie: (Turns to Tech, smiled and spoke with hope in her voice) Tech, are they done yet?

Tech: (Smirking) Well, since you asked.

He took out a remote and seven motorcycled came towards them. Sophie got on one motorcycle and put a helmet on his head.

Sophie: Let's show theses Vikings how to fly!

As she sped away, the rest of the team got on their motorcycles, put on their helmets, and took after Sophie. The motorcycles transformed as they took to the sky.

The Vikings saw them and the Dragon face started shooting ice at them. Duck was almost, when Sophie used her Shock Claw to destroyed the ice balls. Duck pulled over to her side, giving her a salute.

Duck: Daredevil Duck, thanks you. (Drives away)

Sophie: (Annoyed) Pick a damn name!

Slam punched at the ice balls while Lexi flew at Ace's side.

Lexi: How long are we gonna let them use us for target practice?

Ace: Until they run out of spit rods, which is right about...now!

As he said this, the Dragon Head stopped shooting.

Ace: Let the fun begin!

Lexi: (Gives a salute) Aye, aye skipper.

Ace: Loonatics unite!

They all flew to one direction and out of the Viking's line of sight. While behind a blanket of fog, the motorcycles connected and began to transform into a boat. Ace, Lexi, and Rev were up front, Slam was behind them, and Tech was at the driver's seat with Duck and Sophie seated behind him.

Ace: Tech, you've outdone yourself!

Tech: You can say it, I'm a genius.

Sophie: (Looks at Tech with a big smile) This is amazing, Tech!

Tech smirked and winked at her, causing her to blush.

Ace: Launch the torpedo!

The torpedo was launched and it headed straight for the ship.

Duck: So long, Ice Geeks!

But surprisingly, the ship rose up, letting the torpedo pass. Slam grunted in surprise.

Ace: Yeah Slam, didn't see that one coming. Flying Vikings?

Tech: They won't be flying for long.

Wings slid out from the side of the ship and anthros were in the air. They flew over the Viking ship and Ace told Tech to take it out. Bu the launch mechanism was frozen, so Slam grabbed the explosives and dropped them over the Viking ship.

The bombs exploded, when they were dropped onto the Viking ship. The ship fell back onto the water's surface with a big splash. The Loonatics got on the Viking ship to see if there were any Vikings left.

Ace: With their ship down, do you think do big freeze is over Tech?

Tech: All their power seems to be coming from the horns on these helmets.

Ace: Anyone else on board, Rev?

Rev checked ever inch of the boat, but he came back in a jiffy, shaking his head.

Lexi: So where did they all go?

Sophie: First we see them, now we don't. This game of battleship was a distraction. Hey Rev, can you get me a reading from the nut jobs?

Rev's eyes glowed and a hologram was displayed from the triangle on his chest.

Sophie: They're heading for the planetary power grid.

Ace: That must've been, what Zadavia was trying to tell us.

Sophie: Why there, though?

Tech: Not to alarm anybody, but if they freeze the city's power core-

Lexi: Then, the whole planet will have one bad case of frostbite.

Meanwhile, Gunnar and the Ice Vikings made it to the Acmetropolis Power Grid. Gunnar blasted the doors open and found the power core.

Gunnar: Let the ice age begin!

The Ice Vikings nearly froze the entire power core, when the Loonatics arrived.

Ace: What's up, Horn heads?

Gunnar: Freeze them!

The Vikings and the Loonatics charged. The fight was on. During the fight, Ace and Tech had their backs to each other.

Ace: Listen Tech, we gotta turn the tables! We gotta make things hot!

Tech: I'll reprogram them! Just keep them busy!

They jumped out of the way as the Viking's weapons came down on them. A Viking head with orange horns came off and Tech grabbed it, so he could reprogram it. The Fight continued on as Slam went into combat with Gunnar, who easily won his fight with Slam. Sophie kicked a Viking away, when she was confronted by Gunnar.

Gunnar: I've had enough of you, Mutt!

Sophie growled at the insult. She dodged Gunnar's sword and She back towards a wall, jumped off it, then kicked Gunnar right on the power core.

Unfortunately, Tech got hurt as the other Vikings were destroyed by the red beams that bounced off the helmet that Tech was wearing. The beams unfroze each power core and the cores all powered up again.

Ace: We did it! It worked!

Lexi: The energy from the Vikings has recharged the power core!

Sophie: (Looks around) Tech?

Tech: (Weakly) Under here.

His voice came from under the Viking helmet. Sophie lifted it up and she saw tech as a pile of ashes.

Sophie: (Concerned) Tech?....Are you ok?

Poor Tech could only respond with a groan.

Back at HQ,

Ace was mediating again, Duck was still figuring out a name, Lexi was lounging in a chair, and Tech was cutting up slices of pizza with his new invention. He gave one slice to Sophie, who was sitting next to him, and took a bite out of a slice of pizza for himself, as they read the book that Sophie was reading earlier.

But, the smell of pizza went into the air vent and Slam's attention. The room shook as Slam could be heard thundering his way towards them.

Sophie: Tech?

The door burst open and Slam began to head over towards Tech and Sophie, wanting to get some pizza. But, Tech had his new invention shut Slam's mouth shut.

Tech: Ah-uh-uh, Slam. (Turns to Sophie and gives her a smug grin) What were you saying?

Sophie: (Giggled) Never mind.

She then laid her head on Tech's shoulder as she continued to read. The coyote looked down at Sophie, before his grin turned into a warm smile as he laid his head on hers. While both of them are enjoying the warm feeling that is spreading in their bodies.

Ace happened to open his eyes and looked at the scene before him. A smile spread on his face, though he didn't trust a man to go near his sister, he trusted Tech to take care of Sophie, so if his sis and friend are in love with each other then they need to hurry up,before him and Lexi, who also knew about the two, gets impatient.

Then, all of a sudden, Zadavia's hologram appeared.

Zadavia: Loonatics, I just had to personally say to each and every one of you, job well done. The ice age is averted; the mutant techno Vikings destroyed and Acmetropolis is safe. Thanks to you Ace, Rev, Lexi, Slam, Sophie, Tech. Good work team, Zavadia out.

But, she forgot one member, Duck.

Duck: How could she forget me? I was standing right here!

Sophie: You were good out there.

Ace: Oh yeah, heroic.

Although Sophie was being friendly, Ace was being sarcastic. Duck pushed the button and Zadavia appeared again.

Zadavia: Yes?

Duck: Hello, Ms. Zadavia? Duck here. I was wondering, did you forget something?

Zadavia: Yes, I suppose I did. no more memos about changing your name. Danger Duck is simple and easy to remember. Request denied.

Her hologram disappeared. Duck was crestfallen. Ace put a hand on his shoulder.

Ace: Well, at least it's better than what she used to call you.

Duck: Fine. danger Duck, I can live with that.

Ace: Good, cause we like it too.
