By Your Blade (Loonatics)

The Ravagers

"No no no no! Damn it!!" Lexi heard Ace yell from inside. She ran out in the snow, to see what made him so mad. "Ace, what's wrong?" She asked. "This freaking piece of crap cruiser won't start.." He said silently but angrily. "It won't start? Why?" She asked curiously.

"Some kid or whoever, ripped out and stole the engine fan out of it.." He sighed. He got off his knees, then hit the cruiser hard with his fist. "Calm down! We can steal another one! Then we can finally be on a search for our team!" She tries to cheer him up.

"Either way...we're gonna walking a long way. Your pink under shirt won't cut it out here neither." He said. "I'll have you know... I have taken care of myself out here with this under shirt!" She playfully hit him. "Well, I have a spare jacket. You can use it, I don't want you to freeze." He said, as he walked back inside.

He came back out quickly, with a thick, black and yellow jacket. "Why don't you use this?" She asked. "Doesn't fit over my armor. That's why I wear a cloak. You can keep it." He slightly smiled. He then noticed her stare at him with a smile. "Lexi..?" He laughed. She then snapped out of her trance.

"Okay, so where do you suggest we search first?" She asked casualty. "Where else do you think.." He sighed. "Are you freaking kidding me? Do you know how dangerous it is getting there without a cruiser or a vehicle of some kind?!" She freaked out.

"Yup. The city itself is dangerous. Ravagers walk around everywhere there. But we'll be fine." He said calmly, as he locked his doors. "How do you think we'll get passed all of them? And the police bots!!" She said loudly. He quickly turned around, and looked her in the eyes.

"Lexi... We'll be fine. We're Loonatics. Danger and caution is what we do best." He smiled with his hand on her shoulder. He then flipped his hood up. She zipped the jacket up halfway, then followed him.

As they walked about a mile out of the city limits, the cold really started to pour on. Hard gusts of wind then started to hit them, with thick snow that felt like thrown rocks. Ace noticed, and shifted to walk in front of Lexi, so she wasn't hit by them. But she was too cold to notice.

"Ace... W-we have to f-f-find somewhere to s-stop... We'll f-freeze out here..." Lexi shuttered. Ace nodded in agreement, as they pushed through the hard, rough snow. They couldn't even see the road anymore. Much less any building or shelter. What if they weren't even on the road anymore?

Right as they thought the snow would be the end of them, they both saw bright moving lights, coming towards them. "P-police bots!!" Ace said in fear.

Two police officers hid behind a destroyed wall, of a maximum security prison. They were equipped with the newest in advanced armor. It included wrist gauntlets, that fired lethal rounds, and their standard rifles. As they were squatted down, one peaked over the top.

"Do you see anything?" One whispered to the other. "Negative. Wait!... I hear something!" Another said, as he looked through his visor. He then saw a quick swish right before his eyes. "What was that!" The other said, as he peaked over the top as well.

Then, they both saw a purple streak swish in front of them again. But as they saw it, they fired. "I can't hit it!! It's too fast!" One said in fear. "Okay, okay! You face one way, and I'll face the other." The commander said. The other nodded, then turned around.

But as soon as he did, he heard and felt the breeze of something fast. "Commander?" He asked, then turned around. But he saw, he was gone. "Commander!!" He then yelled in fear. "I'm-coming-for-you-next!" He then heard a speedy voice.

Freaking out, he fired multiple rounds into the sky and in front of him. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!" He yelled in fear. "Here." He then heard the voice, and turned around. Before he could make out what it was, he was instantly thrown to the ground, out cold.

In all the prison blocks, guards stood surrounding the area. Waiting, for anything to come for the prisoners. "All cell blocks, seal off the- AAAHHH!!" They heard over the intercom. "Stick tight! It's coming for us!" One in the walkway said. But as soon as he turned his back, the last thing he saw was himself falling off the balcony.

As everyone aimed their rifles for anything moving, they watched each other quickly get taken out. All until, there was only one left. In the entire prison. "No!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!" He yelled in fear and randomly shot his rifle in the vaguely dark prison.

All the prisoners yelled in joy, waiting for the speeding mystery demon to claim its last victim. Then, the guard realized he was out of bullets. "Looks-like-someone-is-out-of-bullets!-Now it's my turn!" He then heard. He looked around, petrified.

"Boo." "AAAAAHHHHHH- the screaming stopped. As all the prisoners tried to see in curiosity, they suddenly heard 100's of clicking. Then, their cell doors all slid open. All the prisoners ran out in joy.

The mysterious speedster, stood on top of a hill, watching them all run free. He smiled, knowing he once again did good. "All-in-a-day's-work." He said calmly, as he turned around to face the stars in the night sky.

"Another-one-for-you... Ace."

Lexi and Ace stood in a fighting stance, waiting for the hostiles. But as the lights got closer, they heard yelling. "Hold it!! You're crossing ravagers territory!! Put your hands up!!" They heard yelling. "Ah crap.." Ace sighed, thinking it was cops.

He and Lexi put their hands up, showing there was no harm. As the trashy looking guys got closer, they took their hands, and cuffed them behind their backs. "Are you serious..? You trash act like you own this city.." Lexi said, annoyed.

"Quiet outlander!! Our leader will have questions for you!!" One yelled in their faces. "Oh brother.." Ace rolled his eyes. the five ravagers shoved the two in a smuggling cruiser, then blasted off into the sky.

"So this is your hideout... Trashier than I thought." Ace chuckled. "SILENCE!!" One yelled, and hit him in the back with a whip. He silently hissed in pain. "Maybe if you stopped pissing them off, you wouldn't be whipped. Just a thought." Lexi said in a smart ass tone.

The two were escorted through the slummy hideout, into the main hall. Which, was the Club building before everything changed. The main room was the old club scene. Ace and Lexi both had déjà vu, seeing ghosts of their pasts there. Like seeing the two on the balcony again.

They were finally stopped at a throne like seat, that was turned around to face the window. "Sir... We brought two trespassers." One said. The chair then automatically pivoted, to face the horde of people. Revealing, a small man with red hair and a red mustache.

"Pff-HAHAHA!! Ophiuchus Sam is the leader of the Ravagers?! That's priceless!!" Ace laughed. Lexi also tried to hold her laugh in. "Hey... I remember you..." He said sternly, then hopped out of his seat. He then walked towards Ace, not happy.

He then punched him straight in the stomach. "You've owed me that for a long time, rabbit.." He then grinned as Ace fell to his knees and coughed. But right before Ace was about to laugh again, everyone turned their attention to the door as it opened.

It was a brown animal, with a lab coat and goggles on his head. "Ophiuchus, what's with all the commotion! Im trying to work!!" He yelled, frustrated. As the two rabbits turned around, they immediately stopped laughing, and stared at the brown Coyote.

"Oh my god.." Ace said with big eyes. The professor stopped, then did the same. "TECH?!" Ace and Lexi both shouted in shock.
