Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 7

They all went to the Loonatics tower.

"Make yourselves at home." Ace said to their visitors, it wasn't often they had people over like this.

Ace and Lexi sat together on beanbag chairs while Tech sat on one too and got a fresh pizza which attracted Slam as Duck was standing around, trying to be the hero like his ancestor. This was a rather nice hang-out.

"You guys remind me of the Teen Titans from when I was a kid..." Cherry said as she saw their hide-out and how they usually hung out when not on a mission.

"Yeah, you guys are just like the Teen Titans." Vincent agreed with his aunt.

They all then heard Slam coming after smelling the pizza.

"Slam is coming, get ready to stop him from eating the pizza, Tech." Akito said.

"Oh, no he's not!" Tech called as he threw the high-tech pizza cutter to the brutish Tasmanian devil.

Slam's mouth was sealed shut, making him whine and angry that he couldn't have the pizza. The room suddenly went dark.

"It's Zadavia!" Ace called, running with his friends.

Akito and Estelle went to join in as well. Cherry walked over and stood behind them with her hands behind her back to have a word with this woman as well.

"Oh, this is so exciting, finally being able to meet Zadavia." Estelle said, excitedly.

Zadavia looked to the twins and the Loonatics. "I just had to say to each and every one of you, job well done, especially to you, Akito and Estelle, for your bravery and help, for keeping Acmetropolis safe, but of course, it wouldn't be possible without the thanks to Ace, Rev, Lexi, Slam, Tech..."

Duck waited for his name to be said, but he wasn't even included in Zadavia's thanks for saving the day!

"Good work to all of you..." Zadavia told the Loonatics and the 21st century twins.

"Excuse me, Miss Zadavia, but my niece and nephew need to get themselves home," Cherry said to the woman. "I'm glad they could help you, but they can't live in 2772 forever... They belong home with their parents and friends and family..."

"I understand Cherry, but I want them to help until they are no longer needed," Zadavia explained. "Your niece and nephew are very special children and are very unique for their primitive specimen compared to the 28th century... I want them to remain in Acmetropolis with you until their time comes..."

"Are you saying you want all of us to stay in the 28th century with them, madame?" Felicity spoke up.

"Ma'am, with all due respect, our mother and father will be worried, they should be informed about this." Vincent said.

"Understood... You may go home now, but come back when you are called..." Zadavia informed.

Suddenly in a flash of light, Akito, Estelle, Felicity, and Vincent had bracelets that looked very high-tech.

"Us too?" Felicity and Vincent asked.

"You too..." Zadavia told them. "If you don't mind that is."

"Of course not, ma'am." Vincent said.

"Very well... Until next time, Zadavia out..." the futuristic woman signed off until the next mission.

"That's it?" Duck scoffed. "How could she forget me? I was standing right here!"

"Don't worry, Duck, you're a fitting character." Lexi soothed.

"Yeah, heroic." Ace added with a laugh.
