The Hunter

Massive had escaped from the Acmetropolis Intergalactic Prison Ship and stole paintings from the Acmetropolis Museum of Fine Arts. Those paintings belonged to top artist Scooter Bullock, who disappeared last week. Now Massive was seen heading for the Western Museum, belonging to Hopalong Chiron and his robo-horse Thunder. So Ace, Lexi, Duck, Tech, and Sophie traveled to the Western Museum by jet-packs. When they arrived, they found a large hole by the entrance where Massive has used to get in.

Ace: I left Slam and Rev at HQ to keep tabs on Massive. (through COM) Any sign of him guys?

Rev was typing away on the keyboard back at HQ, but Slam was stuffing himself with food, in a rather disgusting sort of way.

Ace: Yeah, you don't say. But don't, my stomach's turning. Rev, you'll be our eyes and ears. Ok, time to saddle up boys and girls!

The five anthros entered through the hole in the wall and into the museum. Everything was filled with objects, clothes, and other things based on space cowpoke.

Duck: Don't see Mr. Mean and Green anywhere.

It was too quiet, and like Duck said, Massive was nowhere to be seen. But they had to ready if there was an ambush.

Ace: Let's spread out, Loonatics!

Duck and Lexi went in one direction, Sophie, Tech, and Ace went in the other direction, and they found the spot where Thunder the robo-horse used to be.

Sophie: That robo-horse is gone!

Tech: Looks like Massive found what he came for.

Ace: What would Massive want with Hopalong's horse?

Sophie: Uh, to ride on it and attack us at the same time!

She had seen Massive riding on Thunder, while riding on a green gravity aura in the air above them. Ace and Tech looked up to see Massive, as he fired green auras down at them, like a western outlaw shooting at his enemy by the feet. Ace used Tech's gyro to keep himself from getting hit. Duck teleported right in front of Ace, wanting to take him down on his own, when some orange rope wrapped itself around Duck, tying him up. Ace looked to where the rope came from and noticed some movement by the chandelier. Massive got away on Thunder, and the Loonatics returned to HQ, where Tech was at the computer, while Ace, Lexi, Duck, and Sophie stood beside him.

Ace: Tech, were you able to find anything that we can use to track Massive?

Tech: I did a complete body sweep of Duck and found something most strange.

Lexi: Just tell me it's not moving. (shrudders)

Sophie: It's only a piece of hair that doesn't belong to either him or any of us.

Tech: I ran it through my DNA constructor; analysis should be just about ready.

A large screen moved downward towards them. On screen, the analysis of the hair revealed its owner. A short, bald-headed man wearing a brown suit with black boots.

Sophie: I know him! That's Electro J. Fudd! He comes from a long line of famous hunters. I wonder what he's doing with Massive.

Duck: That loser? Fudd? He doesn't look like much of a hunter.

Sophie: Are you kidding? The Fudds have been great hunters since the beginning of time.

She picked up a remote control and displayed several images of Electro's ancestors, being distracted by a harmless animal while a larger and meaner one is right behind them before killing them.

Sophie: There was Elmer J. Fudd, who hunted down the world's biggest squirrel...until the squirrel went nuts. Minooka J. Fudd, known for his hunting of aquatic animals...before he disappeared. Ahab J. Fudd, who hunted a mysterious great whale...before the big chomp. And Promagnet J. Fudd, who hunted the great wooly mammoth...before the big stomp.

Lexi: Then this Electro J. Fudd must be a big time hunter, judging by the traits he shares with his ancestors.

Tech: But what could he possibly be hunting in Acmetropolis?

Just then, the alarm went off. The screen changed to an image of a pretty colored factory, where a cookie flag stood outside the building. Slam and Rev arrived on the scene when they heard the alarm.

Lexi: Looks like a break-in at Granny Fudge's Cookie Factory.

Ace: I have a feeling that when we find Massive, we'll find Fudd. Let's jet!

The whole Loonatics team arrived at the Cookie Factory by jetpack, where Tech entered the code for everyone to get inside. As they cautiously entered the factory, a stream of flying cookies flew right in their faces or right past them. Massive was using his powers to bombard the Loonatics with cookies. The other Loonatics dove for cover while Slam ate the flying cookies.

Duck: Our secret weapon against a cookie attack. Slam, you're despicable.

Ace just grinned while Slam continued eating. When Duck glanced over at Sophie, she was munching on a cookie she had taken during the cookie attack.

Sophie: What? It's peanut butter.

Duck: Ok...you and Slam are both despicable.

Ace: We gotta get Massive out in the open. Tech, you ready?

Tech: Good to go!

Ace: Spread out!

The Loonatics rushed around to different parts of the room to attack Massive. Duck tried throwing one of his orbs at Massive, but the villain blasted it right back at Duck to the wall. Ace tried blasting Massive with his laser vision to distract him while Rev gave Massive the old circle and stumble spin. But Massive exploded in a green aura ball, sending Rev, and an angry Duck, flying back. Duck got tied up on the rope of a crane hung by the ceiling. While being tied up, Duck kicked something hard and metal, and it fell into a large bowl of chocolate dough. While Massive was distracted, Tech and Sophie snuck up behind him, with Tech's gyro aimed and Sophie pointing her shocks claws at their target.

Tech: Gotcha right in my sight!

Sophie: Ready? Fire!

Tech fired the gyro and Sophie blasted a thunder claw right at Massive. Their shots combined as they both struck Massive, who began to shake violently and exploded in a pile of scrap metal. Tech and Sophie stared in surprise. From the giant bowl of chocolate dough, a large robot figure climbed out. Ace knew the robot was Electro J. Fudd when he mentioned his name and the robot escaped the factory. Duck teleported himself off the crane and back onto the floor, and gave a yell when he saw Massive's dismantled body parts, then he calmed down.

Duck: Old metal head was nothing but a robot.

Tech: Massive's CPU might just contain some useful information.

Ace: Tech, get that robo brain back to the lab. We gotta learn all about it and Fudd.

Back at HQ, Ace, Lexi, Sophie, and Tech were at the computer.

Ace: I did some snooping, and found that Hopalong Chiron and Granny Fudge also went missing around the time Scooter Bullock disappeared, all tops in their fields.

Lexi: So what's the connection between a great hunter like Fudd and a rampaging robot?

Ace: Well, hunters are known for their decoys.

Duck: A decoy? For who?

Ace: Maybe the Fuddmister has a collection going on and all that's left is to add the top crime fighter in Acmetropolis.

Duck: Well, that would have to be me.

Lexi: That would have to be Ace.

Duck: Very funny.

Ace: It's time to turn the tables on the hunter and make him the hunted.

The Loonatics landed in a quiet, dirty, deserted back alley.

Ace: When Fudd sees me all alone, he won't be able to resist making his move.

Lexi: Isn't this pretty risky?

Ace: It's the only way to flush him out and get him to lead us to where he's holding the others.

The rest of the Loonatics hid in different parts of the alley while waiting for Fudd to capture Ace and lead them to the other missing people. While waiting on a nearby rooftop, Sophie spotted Fudd flying off towards space, carrying a captured Duck in a glowing green net over his back.

Sophie: (shocked) Duck! (through COM) Ace, come in!

Ace: What's up, sis?

Sophie: Your plan didn't work! Fudd captured Duck, and I don't know where they could be heading!

Ace: Calm down, Sophie. We'll find them.

It took a while for the Loonatics to track down where Duck and Fudd are, but they arrived on time at the Intergalactic Prison Ship, where Ace pulled a robot scam on Otto the Odd, the one responsible for kidnapping Scooter Bullock, Hop-Along Time Run, Granny Fudge, and other famous people. But Otto pulled his own robot scam on Ace and others and was about to freeze them with his large freezing ray gun, when Duck and Electro Fudd appeared, both having worked together to escape Otto. Duck tossed an orb on Otto, knocking him into the path of the freeze ray.

Ace: Nice move, Duck!

Duck: Yes, that was a pretty nice move, if I say so myself.

Slam: That's my duck!

Sophie: Nice work, Duck.

Rev: Always knew you had it in you, well not always knew, but I always suspected it well and every now and then, but that's almost as good as always knowing, you know what I'm saying?

Tech: (clams Rev's beak shut) You did good, Duck.

Ace: These are for you, Fuddy.

He placed handcuffs on Electro Fudd's wrists, placing him under arrest.

Electro Fudd: Hey, this isn't right. It's supposed to be me capturing you, rabbit!

Lexi: Looks like your days as a hunter for hire are over, Fudd!

Sophie: Well at least you don't have far to go in your nice new home at Prison Station Alpha.

Now that Otto has been frozen, Tech activated the freeze ray to revive Otto's other victims like Ron Murkier, Murray Penzer, Granny Fudge, Scooter Bullock, Hopalong Chiron, and Boinky Oink. Duck was so busy boasting about himself that he accidently hit the machine and got himself frozen, for a short time.
