Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 35

It was agreed upon then, for once, Duck's incoherent rants had finally made sense. They met to the Basherball dome and there were announcements of how expensive and valuable the winning trophy would be to lure Massive over. It was the Rangers against the Manglers and no one knew how the game would turn out. The Loonatics just had to hope their plan would work. '

"That's one sweet looking trophy." Vincent observed the solid gold, diamond encrusted Mondo trophy that was going to the game's winner's tonight.

"Keep focused on the plan." Estelle said.

"You ready, Tech?" Ace asked as they sat in the audience.

"Yes," Tech smiled once he took out his inventions. "These orbits have the same gravitational technology as my gyro. They should neutralize Massive's powers, all we have to do is get them on him."

"Yeah, but of course, he's not going to be making it easy for us to do that." Akito said.

"Nothing's ever easy, but it's nothing we can't handle." Tech assured.

Felicity shushed them, she didn't want to be rude, but the game was about to start now. The players got onto their hoverbikes and were now going to compete for the Basherball trophy. The man called Mr. Leghorn had his own gun and he shot a red ball to start the game between the two teams and in which, started the game. The kids tried to make any sense out of the game that they could, due to being from hundreds of years before this timeline, it was a little confusing.

'I think this game is kind of like soccer.' Akito thought to himself.

Felicity was more lost than the others due to how she had been raised by her father all her life until Simon was conceived. The crowd cheered once the red ball went through a glowing goal. The Acmetropolis Rangers were doing very well tonight.

'Wow, these guys are good.' Estelle thought to herself.

Once the ball was in the air again, it was stopped in mid-air.

"He's here." Akito said to the others once he knew what that could mean.

The ball was forced to the ground and Massive came up, surprising the crowd. And where they all started to boo at him.

"Let's move!" Ace told the others.

"Agreed." Vincent said.

"Sorry for the sudden interruption," Massive smirked and folded his arms. "But, I'm sure you all recognize me. So yes, it is safe to assume that this is a robbery."

The guards all came in to place him under arrest. Massive grinned as he used his powers against them and was now hovering towards where Mr. Leghorn was as he offered his prized watch as a token to let the villain go away and leave them in peace.

"I'm not some petty thief, Mr. Leghorn," Massive didn't want that. "Who else would have the guts to steal something on live TV? I'm the greatest thief Acmetropolis has ever seen! So I'm gonna have to go home with something a lot bigger!" he then used his powers to take the very tall and expensive trophy for himself. "Thanks to you, Mr. Leghorn, this is the crime of the century, your ratings should go through the roof." he said as the trophy floated next to him.

The Loonatics looked determined and focused on beating Massive now. It was now or never. The time was right to send him far, far away like the other bad guys they had tangled before.

"Ya know, with an expensive ticket, ya'd think we'd get a better halftime show." Ace put his fists together.

Slam did a tornado spin and was on his way to Massive to stop him. Akito joined him by flying towards Massive. Both Slam and Akito then rammed against him, making Massive suddenly fall from the force and surprise sneak attack. The trophy crashed into the window where Mr. Leghorn and the announcer were, but they ducked in time without any injuries.
