Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 53

After the Loonatics met up again, Mastermind was put back behind bars.

"Sis, what happened to your hair?" Akito asked, noticing that Estelle had shorter hair now.

"You can thank one if those robots that Slam destroyed. "Estelle said.

"Looks different..." Felicity wasn't sure how to feel about it.

Estelle merely shrugged. "It'll grow back."

"Yeah, I guess, but I think you look better that way." Vincent said.

"Really?" Estelle asked.

"You could probably use a new look." Akito suggested.

"Hm..." Estelle shrugged.

"I just got an urgent call from Maman," Felicity came to her twin cousins. "She knows you want to stay in the future, but she says the next mission is so dangerous, you should rest up at home and get all the support you can get."

"How bad is this one?" Vincent asked.

"It could end the world as we are knowing it." Felicity told them, urgently.

"Oh, dear." Estelle said.

"Well, whatever or whoever it is, we can handle it." Akito said. "And besides we...."

"Sil vous plait, come home, you need all the rest you can get." Felicity urged them.

"Okay, we'll go home all together," Akito sighed, then turned to the other Loonatics. "Why don't you guys take a vacation?"

"That sounds like a great idea, and no worries, we'll be here when ya get back." Ace smiled, giving the twins a qucik hug, after all, they were going home to see their parents again after a long while.

"Maman promises you two can go back to the future until the enemy hits." Felicity promised them.

They all then took the portal home, however, the twins found out that their dad had been gone on a mission.

"Is this the same mission with that woman's brother?" Vincent asked since he knew.

"I'm afraid so." Mo softly told her children as she was with Angel and Scamp.

"Are you kidding?!" Akito exclaimed, going outside with his sword to train.

"Sorry, kids, at least we know he's alive and well..." Mo soothed. "How about some hot dogs for dinner?"

Akito and Estelle sighed with shrugs, then decided to stay for dinner. They told their adventures to the dogs who held onto every word and Patch hadn't heard such epic bravery and powers since he became a Pound Puppy.

Felicity was right about this mission, it was going to be very dangerous. While Simon and Felicity were asleep, Cherry wrote a letter with a quill ink pen, she then folded it up and put it on Felicity's night stand, she then mysterious walked away and contacted the blonde woman in charge of the Loonatics.

"Are you ready to go?" Zadavia asked her.

"Yes, let's do this, you and Atticus need more help than you believe." Cherry told the woman before stepping into a portal sent for her.

"Good," Zadavia said before whispering to herself after Cherry walked through the portal. "And please forgive me."

Akito was now outside, training with his sword, angry with his father for not putting his mission aside from spending time with his family or to see his own kids come back from the future. And then his futuristic bracelet began to blink red with the words 'URGENT MISSION'. "*sighs* I'm sorry about this, Aunt Cherry, but I'm going." Hesaid once he knew what this meant.

Estelle was drawing in her room, and the same happened, making her sigh as well. "I remember my promise, but I have to go, Aunt Cherry."

Felicity woke up and saw the letter and read it.

'Dear Felicity,

I know how good you are at keeping secrets, your father and I had to keep one from your 'grandfather' for six months, so I'll leave you with this information. Zadavia hasn't been able to meet any of you because of her brother, his name is Optimatius. He's out to destroy the world and your uncle has been helping her find her brother and stop him. I want you all to be safe, this is no ordinary mission, you are very unique and talented children, but there are some things you cannot handle. I know you all will do the right thing, especially your gifted and ingenious brothers, but mostly Simon.

Best of Luck, your mother.'

Felicity was then startled as her futuristic bracelet began to do the same thing, but with an option for her go or stay until the next mission. She sighed as she felt lost on what to do. Simon was rolling around on the floor and rolled up to his sister.

"What should I be doing, Simon?" Felicity felt in despair. "Maman said to wait, but the others are needing me!"

Simon crawled up to her and pointed to go.

"I should be going?" Felicity sounded overwhelmed.

Simon slowly nodded.

"Oh, as long as you are being sure..." Felicity was worried and nervous.

Simon crawled with her to the portal to Acmetropolis.

"Ready to go?" Akito asked his twin sister and older brother.

"Yep, we're ready." Estelle and Vincent said.

They guessed they had to go now and they jumped through their own portal headed for Acmetropolis.

They ended up in the tower, the Loonatics, minus Duck, all came to reunite with them after so long.

"Hey kids, how's your parents?" Ace asked Akito and Estelle with a smile.

"Mom's cool as always, but Dad's still gone." Estelle sounded disappointed.

"Really?" Lexi asked.

"Yeah!" Akito scowled, he was really mad that his father put work before his family, even if he had a very important job to do.

"Yeah, Akito hasn't really been the most happy about it." Vincent said.

"Sorry to hear that, welcome back though." Tech replied.

Felicity noticed someone missing. "Where is Canard?"

"At the prison, he's checking it out," Rev explained. "Rumor has it that Mastermind, Sypher, WeatherVane, and Massive are there right now and are being drained of their powers!"

"Good, those four deserve to have their powers drained." Akito said.

"Come on, let's get you guys settled back in." Ace led them back into their rooms to show it was exactly the way they had left it.

"I just don't understand my weather powers," Vincent spoke up. "I mean, Dad didn't have them. He has Hercules's strength and merman powers from his mother's side of the family."

"Maybe your mother had them?" Felicity suggested. "Maman is an alien princess on the run and Papa is a vampire..."

"Do you have any alien powers?" Estelle asked her.

"I do now know for sure, but I have three hearts." Felicity informed.

"Well, I guess that's something you got from Aunt Cherry's side." Vincent guessed.

"Perhaps..." Felicity shrugged. "I do know that alien vampires are rare... So, I am special!"

"Yeah, you really are." Estelle said.
