Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 48

Akito was now screaming in bed and he woke up, seeing that it was all just a dream again.

Leo looked to him in concern for his screaming in his sleep. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Ace then ran over to Akito's room to see what was wrong. "You alright, kid?" He asked. "I heard ya screamin'."

Akito rubbed his head and looked to them. "That was weird... I keep having the same nightmare over and over..."

"You too?" Ace asked.

"Yeah, I don't get it..." Akito sounded concerned.

"Come on, let's get to the others." Ace suggested.

They went to the kitchen and it was a lot like the last time, all of the Loonatics were sitting in the breakfast nook and Rev was juicing some fruit.

Akito even said the same decline to Rev about the shake, and it made him think. "Am I still dreaming?" he wondered out loud. "'Cuz, I feel like I've done this and said that same thing before."

Lexi even made toast.

"Same with me, kid." Ace said.

Tech made a diagnosis for them to be suffering from déjà vu, the feeling of experiencing something before.

"Exactly." Akito said.

Zadavia even signed in to warn them about the Trollbot robbery.

"We're on it, Zadavia!" Ace told her before she could say anything. "Let's jet!"

Like before, Duck stayed behind a moment before joining them. Colonel Chet warned them about Time Skip and the same things were happening all over again, though Time Skip seemed to come earlier than he did before and froze them to steal the bot and take over the world with no one to stop him.

'This is so weird.' Vincent thought to himself.

"We don't understand how he's moving so faster or how to counter it." Chet replied once they were unfrozen.

"I take it he's deducing temporal fragments by the quantum factor." Tech spoke up.

Everyone stared at him, not understanding what he just said to them.

"He is manipulating time." Felicity helped explain.

The others still stared, completely lost.

"Jumping just ahead of us?" Vincent added.

"Seriously people, even I got of what Tech said." Akito said.

"We have to contact Dr. Fidel Chorniker," Tech warned, sounding quite urgent. "He's the world's foremost genius on time misplacement."

"Papa also has a time travel watch," Felicity spoke up, then explained to her cousins and friends. "He used to use it to see my maman in secret before they reunited and she ran away from her old home."

"Wait a minute," Duck spoke up, realizing something. "Dr. Chorniker crank called HQ this morning trying to hoodwink us into punishing his totally out of control grandson!"

Before anything else could be said, a missile was launched at them, making them all split up. The Trollbot battle was starting up again.

"Then we have to go and talk to Dr. Chroniker." Akito said.

"Time Skip's evil, do you think he fits the bill?" Ace asked, having a feeling that Time Skip was probably Chroniker's grandson.

Time Skip blasted his own door out and let the Trollbot go out into Acmetropolis to destroy it. Tech mentioned his latest invention to help destroy the Trollbot, but it was back in headquarters, instead of a team battle plan, Akito had a new suggestion.
