Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 64

They all then came home. Mo was lying down on the couch and had strangely enough, taken up knitting.

"Hey, I thought you hated knitting..." Atticus said to his wife.

"Oh, Atticus!" Mo cried, then wrapped her arms around his neck, starting to cry. She had not seen him since the week before Akito found the portal and ended up in Acmetropolis in the first place.

"Whoa! It's okay, Mo, it's okay, I'm back and so are the kids and I'm here to stay for vacation so then I can spend more time with you and the kids." Atticus assured her.

"I was just so worried about you..." Mo wiped her eyes, she then hugged the twins. "Oh, I love you all so very much..."

Akito and Estelle then hugged their mother. Angel saw this and nuzzled against Mo's legs to make the moment even more special.

"I suggest we get a quick rest at home and do as much family bonding as possible until we're called away again." Atticus suggested.

They all agreed.

"Oh, Mom, can I talk to you about something?" Vincent spoke up.

"What is it, dear?" Mo asked.

"Well, I have these weather powers," Vincent explained the best he could. "Only, Dad has merman and Wiccan powers... I have the merman powers, but I don't have the Wiccan powers, and I have weather powers. Do you know where they came from?"

"That would be from my side of the family." Mo informed him.

"Really?" Vincent asked.

"I didn't know about it until much later in my life..." Mo tried to remember for sure.

"Well during one of our missions, those powers were discovered to me." Vincent said.

"I see..." Mo tugged on her bandanna a little. "Well, I suppose you got that from my parents."

"Grandpa Jim and Grandma Elizabeth have weather powers?" Vincent asked.

"I meant my biological parents," Mo replied. "Vincent, I don't know if I told you this or not, but... I was adopted."

"Oh, Dad has, he's told us of how you two met and of you were worried about him when you thought he drowned, but acted cool and said you weren't worried about him." Estelle said.

Mo chuckled at memory of that, it was pretty laughable now before and Angel had fallen in love with Atticus and Scamp. "Well, about a year or two after my adoption, I decided to try to look up some information about my biological family, I was very curious of them. Sure, I loved James and Elizabeth like my own mom and dad, but still, I found myself curious. Where my biological parents came from, what they were like, and... Well..."

"Well?" Akito, Vincent, and Estelle asked.

"I found out that I was actually related to Captain Planet," Mo revealed. "Have you kids heard of him?"

"CAPTAIN PLANET?!" The kids cheered.

Mo flicnhed a little, she wasn't expecting that sudden reaction. Angel even yelped a little.

"Yes," Mo nodded. "I have to check how, but he is related to my biological family."

"That is so awesome!" Akito cheered.

"He's the best hero in the world to save our planet!" Estelle added.

Mo smiled fondly to them with a chuckle. "But yes, that's where your weather powers came from, Vincent."

"Would that also explain why I can fly and why I also have super breath?" Akito asked.

"I would say so." Mo smiled softly.

"Do you have weather powers, Mom?" Estelle asked.

"I mostly have power of heart..." Mo replied. "Not the best power, but I take what I can get. I think that's how I was always so close with Angel when I was around your age."

"That would make some sense, wait, Mom, would that also explain why I have the power to heal animals?" Estelle asked.

"Yes, you can also soothe even the savagest of beasts with those type of powers." Mo replied with a smile.

Estelle smiled and looked to her hands, remembering how it healed the Fuzz-Z's.

"That would explain about the extra powers, minus the Loonatics' powers." Akito said.

"I'm not sure how you got the Loonatic powers though, that's a mystery." Mo replied.

Atticus shrugged. "Well, your Aunt Cherry and I were close with the Looney Tunes back in our day, we even saved the Blue Monkey diamond from the evil hands of Mr. Chairman who was going to turn the population of Earth into monkeys."

"Monkeys?" Akito, Estelle, and Vincent nearly scoffed at that idea.

"Yeah, not the best villain we've faced, but at least he was easier than most people we've met." Atticus shrugged.

"Was there another villain you faced when you were our age, Dad?" Akito asked.

"Oh, lots of them, more than I can even count," Atticus chuckled, then had a small sigh. "Why, when I first met your Aunt Darla, she had a bodyguard that was bigger than King Kong himself..."

"Yikes." Estelle said.

"Aunt Darla had a bodyguard?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, did I forget to tell you that?" Atticus looked to him. "Aunt Darla was a movie star before my family adopted her."

"You told us you adopted her when she was little, but we didn't know where she came from." Akito pointed out.

"Yeah, she kinda deserved what happened to her, but she became a much better person after we took her in." Atticus smiled fondly.

"Well, was she spoiled and rotten?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, yeah, very much, I had no sympathy for her, but..." Atticus explained. "When your Aunt Cherry and I had to stay at her mansion to look after her, I noticed she was angst about a picture."

"What do you mean?" Estelle asked.

"She had a picture with her parents," Atticus explained. "She was very protective of it and yelled at me for touching it. After the movie premiere of Li'l Ark Angel, your Aunt Cherry and I found out she had no other place to stay since she was stripped of her fame and fortune and had become a janitor against her will. I then decided that she should stay with me and after she had a real family again, she seemed happier. I mean, she had this big and glorious mansion with fame and glory, but had no one else to share it with."

"That sounds so sad." Estelle said as a tear slipped out.

Mo hugged Estelle. "Oh, it's okay, dear..."

Estelle nuzzled against her mother.

"Now, let's get some sleep, we'll do some family bonding tomorrow, your next mission shouldn't be for a while." Atticus suggested.

The Fudo family nodded and went to get some rest, eager to spend time with each other for the first time in a long time.
