Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 25

The next morning, it was the day of the anniversary and day of the ceremony. Akito and Estelle were woken up rather early, but since they went to bed early, they were ready to go, unlike Slam.

"Today's the day." Akito said.

"Yep!" Estelle chirped.

Slam yawned and rubbed his eyes, mumbling.

"Well, you should've gone to bed early like some of us..." Akito said to him after his complaints of being sleepy.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Slam said in his language.

"I can't believe we're part of a town ceremony," Estelle was really excited. "I never would've imagined it..."

"I know," Akito smiled. "I hope they take pictures, I'd love to show Mom and Dad."

"Same here." Estelle said.

Tech got breakfast for everyone so they could quickly eat before the ceremony.

"Hey guys," Lexi smiled to them. "Sleep well?"

"Yeah..." Estelle smiled, very excited. "This is just the most exciting thing to ever happen to us!"

"Yeah, I mean, we've never ever been to a ceremony before." Akito said.

"Really?" Lexi sounded surprised to hear that.

The twins assured her that it hasn't happened.

"Well, I hope you have fun." Lexi smiled to them.

"Finally, all the hard work we do as heroes will pay off, especially mine." Duck smirked.

"Possibly." Estelle said.

Tech served them all a quick breakfast and they had to get to the local park for their ceremony for the townspeople they have saved with their bravery, heroism, and supernatural powers.

"And Vincent and Felicity shall be here in three... Two... One." Akito counted.

And then as if on cue, Vincent and Felicity appeared. Felicity yawned a little and rubbed her eyes.

"Hey, guys." the twins greeted their brother and cousin.

"Bonjour..." Felicity greeted, then yawned again. "Excuse moi... I was having the most wonderful dream..."

"Hey, everyone." Vincent greeted.

"Hey guys, did you eat already?" Tech asked.

"I will just have a boiled egg if it is okay." Felicity said once she saw some leftover on the table.

"Some breakfast would be nice." Vincent said.

"Well, get a quick bite to eat, we're expected downtown real soon." Tech reminded them, but tried not to rush them.

Vincent and Felicity ate what they could and now they were on their way for the anniversary ceremony in Amcetropolis they were going to be apart of.

"This is so exciting." Vincent said.

"Telling me about it." Felicity agreed.

Soon, they were all downtown and made it in time for the ceremony.

The Loonatics were on a stage next to the Acmetropolis mayor as the crowd waited in the audience in anticipation.

'This is why we gather here on this day,' the mayor smiled. 'The one year anniversary of the meteor's impact. Justice in this world has been difficult for all of us. Fortunately, we have been awarded with six extraordinary individuals."

"Ten." the kids corrected.

'Ten,' the mayor then said with a smile to them as well. 'Who went over and protected us and now... To accept this bold token of our appreciation...' she then took out a plaque.

"Thank you!" Duck took it from her hands, hugging it. "Thank you... You know, there are so many people in my life who made this incredible moment possible. But enough about them, as you know, there's a lot of hard work--"

"That plaque isn't for you, Duck," Akito said. "It's for Ace, right Mayor?"

"As a matter of fact it is," the mayor took the plaque back. "This award belongs to Ace Bunny!"

The crowd went wild as Ace walked over to accept his reward.

"Thank you, very much, Mayor," Ace smiled as he was more thankful and selfless about winning than Duck ever was or could be. "It's not everyday that destruction rains upon us...?"

"That confetti looks painful..." Felicity pointed out.

"Whoa, that's not confetti!" Akito got nervous once he took a closer look at it.

"Great, we're out in a hale storm without my umbrella..." Lexi scoffed.

"This isn't hale either," Tech examined it. "These are rock pellets and they're not even from this planet!"

"Why does that not sound good?" Estelle asked.

"We got a meteor shower and I don't think an umbrella's gonna help..." Ace shook his head as the townspeople were now in fright of the sudden change of weather.

Lexi and Estelle used their energy blasts to stop one meteor from crushing all of them together and broke it into pieces.

"Come on, Loonatics!" Ace commanded as they had to save the town yet again.

The Loonatics, Felicity, and the Fudo siblings all began to destroy each meteor. The mayor was horrified as this was happening, but she luckily wasn't getting hurt.

"I like a weather forecast of partly rocky!" Akito scoffed as he helped the others take care of business.

"Rev, fetch my neutron cannon." Tech commanded as he made a force field shield to hold him off from the meteors until he had his weapon.

Rev nodded and zipped off to get it.

"That should be easy, I mean, come on, how hard can it be to find one cannon?" Vincent asked.

Rev came back with numerous cannons and listed the various ones since Tech didn't say which one in specific he needed. Tech found the one he needed and started to shoot at the meteors.

"They are increasing!" Felicity noticed there were more meteors than ever now.

"How can they be increasing?" Estelle asked.

Rev rushed to save the innocent bystanders.

"Have no fear!" Duck came to save the mayor, but teleported her into a tree. "Mayor, your life has just been officially saved by Danger Duck."

The mayor then yelled out as the branch carrying her snapped and started to fall and she fell on the ground.

"Way to go, Duck." Akito glared sarcastically to him.

"Yeah." Vincent rolled his eyes.

Soon, the meteor shower finally ended, but the town was in ruins.

"Whew, I'm so glad that meteor shower is done." Estelle said.
