Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 24

The Loonatics were rewarded with their own personal Chinese buffet.

"We should save the world from underground more often, huh, guys?" Lexi smiled once she saw the smorgasbord.

"Hey Flick, you think we should stay for dinner?" Vincent asked Felicity.

"I do not know..." Felicity looked nervous about the food. "I have never eaten Chinese food before..."

"Well then, this will be your first time trying it." Estelle said.

"It is not poisonous, is it?" Felicity asked.

"Just trust us, you'll love it." Ace promised.

Zadavia congratulated the Loonatics and had informed them that Dr. Dare was now forced to become a statue in the local park.

"I'm sure the pigeons are thrilled." Akito laughed.

"Hey, Zadavia, why don't you join us for some Chinese food?" Estelle offered.

Zadavia chuckled. "It is so sweet of you to include me and as a side note, I AM hungry..."

Duck teleported into the room then. "Finally, some face time with the boss lady," he sounded eager then. "Could you include new costumes, a better dental plan, and job offer?"

"But tonight, I have other plans," Zadavia smiled apologetically. "Perhaps some other time... Zadavia out." she then signed off.

"Was it something I said?" Duck wondered.

"Who you, Duck?" Ace joked. "Nah... You never say the wrong thing! Let's eat!"

"Yeah!" the Fudo siblings agreed.

Slam looked eager and was about to eat all of the food right away, being the most hungry.

"Despicable!" Duck complained. "Doesn't anyone swallow anymore? Hey Slam, you're supposed to gorge with your mouth closed!"

Slam smiles apologetically before he burps.

Vincent and Felicity then left, only to come back again the next time. Vincent went to his parents of course while Felicity went to hers.

Cherry was giving Simon a bath in the bathroom while he waved his arms, nearly splashing her. "Simon, quit it!"

Simon did not, he kept flailing his arms and splashign the water against her.

"Maman, can I ask you something?" Felicity asked once she remembered what she discovered today.

"Ugh... What is it?" Cherry groaned at Simon's rebellion towards her.

Simon seemed to not want to stop.

"I am strong..." Felicity explained. "How did this happen?"

"What...?" Cherry sounded surprised, then glared to Simon as he splashed some more.

"We were beating the rock monsters... I was able to hurt them... How did this happen?" Felicity stared at her hands.

"Well, as you know, your father is a vampire," Cherry removed her glasses to dry them after soap and water got splashed in her face. "Vampires normally possess unholy strength... You aren't as strong as Akito or Atticus, but you're stronger than a normal mortal would be."

"Oh..." Felicity guessed she understood then.

"Is that all?" Cherry asked. "Your baby brother is being disobedient..."

Simon splashed his mother again, showing a rebellious look on his face.

"STOP THAT!" Cherry growled at him.
