Prologue Part 3: The Invitation

3 Weeks Later

Ace is walking home after a tricky day at the studio, by tricky for the company, not for him. He chose to quit acting on the set, feeling damn proud and confident in joining the army or air force, not caring the absolute slightest what his family would think, he's going to be a pilot and that's final!

Ace went up to his car but as he approached, he was suddenly attacked by four men.

Ace: huh?! Uck! *punched, kicked and smacked* is that all you?!--- *punched in the nuts* oooh...

Actor: sup doc?! *Swings another punch sending him down* Director wanted us to knock the granny out of you, Ace. You son of a bitch!

Ace: did he?.. *coughs*

The other three actors kicked him down with the lead actor looking at him

Actor: Pathetic. Let's go, director will be happy

Ace: hey!

The actors turned to face him

Ace: *chuckles and wipes the blood off his face sporting a black eye* my face is just getting warmed up! *Gets into a martial arts pose* you're forgetting I learnt my own martial arts for fight scenes

The actors chuckled and prepared to go for round 2, Ace however fought back using his martial art skill, he first knocked two of the actors down and faced the next two actors, one of whom pulled a taser and fired at Ace.

But then, Ace felt some strange energy within him, focusing it hard and suddenly shot a beam of energy from his eyes which blasted the taser away from the actor.

Actor: Ace??

Ace: ummm, I don't know what I just did...

The lead actor and his friend picked up their unconscious comrades and quickly ran away, refusing to believe that their former colleague just shot laser eyes.

Ace decided to just get in his car and get the hell out of there

Ace: I shot laser eyes...I shot laser eyes...am I going crazy? *Feels something on his butt as he gets in the driver seat* huh?

He dips his hand in his seat and pulls up a note it read

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Ace: "Z"? What could that mean?

Meanwhile, Lexi was busy sitting alone in the bathtub huddled up, she thought she was hearing voices in her head, she heard things from all around her, was she going crazy?

Lexi: *grips her head but hears the door knock* who is it?

It was Lexi's mother

Lexi's mom: Lex, please open.

Lexi opened the door and looked at her mother

Lexi's mom: you've been acting strange lately, is everything alright?

Lexi: Thing is mom I'm not so sure...I keep hearing stuff from all around me

Lexi's mom: Maybe we should see a doctor, do you think that would be okay?

Lexi: I'm sure it'll be fine, mom. How's dad?

Lexi's mom: just as worried about you as me. Oh, I forgot this came in for you *she gives her daughter a letter*

Lexi: thanks mom *she opens and reads*

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Lexi's mom: what does it say?

Lexi: oh, *hides the letter* uh, a friend wants to see me later today...

Meanwhile, Danny Duck was sitting in his home watching a movie slowly getting sleepy and dozing off

Duck: Pretty..good..movie...*drops to his side falling asleep*

Danny suddenly teleported out of his living room and onto his front pavement, the cold outside immediately woke him up

Duck: OH GREAT FEATHERS!! *cuddles himself shivering then suddenly teleports back into his home, this time in his kitchen* What the?!

Danny quickly turned the tap on and rubbed his face and eyes with cold water to believe his mind wasn't playing tricks on him then completely downed the can of cola he was drinking in one gulp, was he insane? 

Then a letter came throught Danny's door

Duck: Huh? I hope this isn't an hallucination *he first swipes at the letter thinking it was fake but realized it was real* Oh it's a real letter *opens it up and reads* 

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Duck: I better get my answers....

At the university, Jack was busy putting together metal parts to create a new invention but still puzzled by Cyrus' sabotaging a few weeks prior

Jack: makes no sense, I remember he'd swore he'd get revenge not just on me but the whole of Acmetropolis, maybe him sabotaging my Relocator was a message...

He reaches for a piece of metal but suddenly green energy bursted from his hand which pulled the metal to him

Jack: what the?! *He tries again on another piece this time managing to warp the metal's shape* Was this from that meteorite..?

He decides to form the metallic pieces together using this strange green energy, he just formed a small sparking gadget. Jack was mostly shocked at this ability, then the door knocked which slightly startled him.

Tutor: Jack E.Coyote?

Jack: Y-Yes?

Tutor: you got a letter here *passes him*

Jack: oh uh, thanks Teacher *he takes and reads*

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Jack: hhmm... Alright, but I best be prepared

Over at the gym/fight club, Slam was training late, punching a bag and working out

Slam: RARGH!! *Swings a heavy punch at a bag which knocked it off the chains* me think time for VR fight!

Slam prepares to set up the VR training set for a fight, the computer set up a virtual opponent for Slam to face and the two begun to square off, the virtual opponent swung it's huge arms at him but Slam dodged and uppercut the opponent sending it flying

But then another appeared behind Slam and put him in a submission lock, Slam growled and pulled with all his might to get free, then suddenly in the real world the machinery went haywire as Slam begun forming a tornado around his lower body

Slam: What the?? *the tornado around his lower torso gets bigger and blows up the VR equipment causing a mess off sparks, eventually he gets under control but was confused* What was tornado?

Slam scratched his head, did he always have the ability to make a tornado? His thought was interrupted when an email came to him on his phone, he looked to see it was anonymous and said 

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Slam: Old building? 5 more? Answers? Me best find out *he prepares to leave*

Meanwhile after finishing delivering a package, Rev was ready to head home for dinner, he didn't bring his bike so he chose to run his way back home

But as he ran, he felt like he was already well past his family's home district, he thought maybe he took a wrong turn but then he realised he was getting faster, and faster and faster, he looked down at his feet and gasped, he was moving so fast he could barely see his feet! He looked back up and found he was in an outer area of the city.

Rev: did..did that just happen? Let's try that again! *He this time dashes back into the city* Hey! Yeah!!! I can run fast!! This is awesome!! *Laughs and stops right near his family home* I gotta tell Rip!

He entered his home to find Ralph sitting by the couch

Rev: hey dad

Ralph: Hey, Rev. Did you finish up your letters?

Rev: yep *shows an empty bag* all letters and packages accounted for! *One letter slips out* eerr... Almost

Ralph softly sighed and looked at the letter but blinked.

Ralph: Son, you don't need to worry. *Shows* it's for you

Rev: oh! That's a relief! *Takes and reads*

"Meet me at the abandoned skyscraper north of the Maroon District, you along with 5 others will have your questions answered" - Z

Ralph: what it say, son?

Rev: oh, it's some invitation or something pops.

The next day

Ace approached the large abandoned skyscraper and entered, surprised that for an abandoned building, the electrics work completely fine

Ace: *enters the elevator going up to the top floor and enters the room* Okay, "Z" why you want me here--

Ace saw the others Toon affected by the meteor Jack, Lexi, Slam, Rev and Danny sitting around

Ace: Are you guys the 5 others?

Duck: I guess we are, hey ain't you Ace Bunny?

Ace: Well, yeah i'm--

Duck: Whatever

Ace: hmph, does anyone know who "Z" is?

Jack: I don't think anyone here knows, but i believe we'll find out. Name's Jack E.Coyote

Slam: Me Brad "Slam" Tasmanian

Duck: Danny Duck but you already know that

Lexi: Lexi Bunny

Rev: Rev Runner

Ace: Nice to meet all of you, but who asked us here?
