The citizens of Acmetropolis had gathered together in the park to celebrate the Loonatics on the one-year anniversary of the meteor strike. Sophie, Tech, Rev, Ace, Lexi, Slam, and Duck were all lined up on stage while the mayor was giving a speech.

Mayor: ...which is why we are gathered together on this day; the one year anniversary of the meteor's impact. Adjusting to this new world is difficult for all of us. Fortunately, we had the help from seven extraordinary individuals who have watched over and protected us. And now to accept this small token of our appreciation...

She took out a gold plague and was about to announce the name, when Duck suddenly grabbed it

Duck: Thank you. Thank you. You know there are so many people in my life who had made this incredible honor possible, but enough about them. As you know, there's a lot of hard work-

Mayor: (takes back plaque) This is for the team's leader; Ace Bunny!

Duck walked away with a slump as the crowd cheered, when Ace walked over to the Mayor as she gave him the gold plaque, and he accepted it graciously.

Ace: Thank you very much, Mayor. Good thing it's not every day that destruction rains down upon us.

The last part of the speech was drifted as the sky was suddenly filled with a strange precipitation, a form that not even Weather Vane could create.

Lexi: A hailstorm, and me without my umbrella.

The coyote held his hand catching the tiny pieces of "hail."

Tech: This isn't hail. These are rock pellets. They aren't even from this planet. It's a Meteor Shower!

Just then, a couple of bigger rocks came falling from the sky.

Ace: And I don't an umbrella's going to help.

The people began to flea, screaming their heads off as Lexi brain blasted a large rock.

Ace: Hit it, Loonatics! We've got people to save!

The Loonatics fought hard to demolish the falling rocks; Ace with laser blasts, Slam used his strength to smash the big rocks, Lexi brain blasted, Duck's power orbs, and Sophie with shock claw.

The Mayor was too scared to leave the podium.

Ace: I thought the weather for only partly rocky!

Tech used his powers to create a big green defense shell to protect himself, Sophie, and Rev from the meteor shower.

Tech: Rev, fetch my Neutron Cannon!

Rev rushed quickly back to HQ, only to come back seconds later with a heap of guns in his arms.

Rev: You didn't say if you wanted the refracting Neutron Cannon, the Beam-Splitter Neutron Cannon, or the one that goes 'Dah-dah-dah-dah'!

Sophie: Hurry up, Tech!

The coyote did as she told him as he simply grabbed one of the guns and started blasting at the small meteors. The others were dealing with airborne attack. Lexi and Sophie displayed some agility and their powers against the meteors.

Lexi: Ha, ha! How's that for mind over matter.

Sophie: Really?

Lexi: What about your flirting with Tech.

Sophie: OK.

Ace: Slam, set your spin cycle on suction!

Slam created a huge cyclone which diverted the falling rocks. Rev decided to use his speed to help the civilians get out of the meteor show.
