Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 55

Zadavia had tried to contact the other Loonatics, but she had to be in a hurry after calling them, which worried the others.

"Akito, get out here!" Ace called.

"I'm never coming out of my room!" Akito called back, very angry.

"Come on, Akito, this might be a mission!" Estelle called.

Akito growled and just continued to sulk. The others sighed.

"What's gotten into him?" Ace asked.

"Dad." Vincent and Estelle told him.

"Why, what happened?"

"It is kind of a long story..." Felicity said to him, she now felt guilty that she showed Akito the letter from her mother.

Simon nodded in agreement.

"I'll get him out of his room." Slam said in his language before going to get Akito out of his room.

Akito folded his arms, deeply scowling as he faced the wall. Leo did his best to comfort the boy, but nothing seemed to work.

"Akito, get out here!" Slam called for him.

"NO!" Akito still refused.

"Get out here or so help me, I will carry you out or even drag you out of that room myself!" Slam called.

"Okay." Akito showed no hesitation.

"Thank you." Slam said in his language.

Akito still didn't move. Slam sighed and picked Akito up, dragging him out to the main room. Akito was still stubborn, so he sat with his arms folded while Slam dragged him out by his collar.

"You are seriously getting on my nerves, kid." Slam said in his language.

"Who cares?" Akito snarled.

"AKITO!" the other Loonatics were shocked at his answer.

Akito glared at them. "Can't you all just leave me alone please?"

"Okay, that's it, Akito, you are going to stay out here and hear of what mission Zadavia has for today." Ace said firmly as he placed Akito on the male twin's chair.

"Hmf..." Akito pouted.

"Besides, Duck's in trouble and we better tell her." Ace informed.

"I already know." Zadavia mysteriously appeared again.

"Oh, boy..." Duck moaned.

"What happened?" Akito asked.

"At the prison, Duck was put in charge, and Massive, Mastermind, WeatherVane, and Sypher managed to make a getaway." Estelle explained.

"How is that possible?" Vincent asked.

"It just happened, I swear!" Duck got worried about his job.

"Okay, tell us exactly what happened." Akito said.

"Well, I was just there with them, showing that I meant business and that their pwoers were drained, and then some orb came into the room and allowed them to escape, that's all I remember." Duck informed.

"An orb?" Vincent asked, not believing it.

"I know it sounds strange, but that's what happened!" Duck cried out. "They were just pushed into a hole and POOF!"

"You must find them before the situation escalates," Zadavia warned them. "I-I suspect..."

"Suspect what, Zadavia?" Ace asked, concerned for her rare display of worry.
