Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 69

The ship was brought underwater as they passed the sea creatures.

"You guys don't believe us?" Akito sounded sad.

"Dolphins are the most intelligent creatures in the world, but I don't know about turning into some cyborg fish thing..." Cherry replied. "Sorry."

"But it's true, we really did see that dolphin change into some cyborg fish thing and it's teeth grew sharp." Akito said.

"Sorry, I kind of need to see things in order to believe them, kiddo.." Cherry shrugged.

Rev went on a very long discussion about dolphins.

This got onto Tech's nerves eventually. "Enough, Rev." He said once they sat at a table.

Atticus looked out to the watery land out the glass windows.

"What is it, Atticus?" Mo asked him.

"Oh, umm..." Atticus looked a little soft.

"You're wondering if your cousins are out there, aren't you?" Mo asked.

"Yeah." Atticus said.

"Um, Dad, about that, I don't think there are any merpeople in this time zone." Akito said.

"Really?" Atticus asked.

"No one knows, but Lexi thinks they're extinct." Akito explained softly.

"Hmm..." Atticus was wondering now.

"Anyway, I swear, those dolphins are evil!" Akito panicked.

"There have been mysterious reports of attacks at sea," Zadavia appeared, instead of a hologram, she was actually with them this time since she did not have to worry about Optimaus anymore, at least, not for a very long while. "Observe..." She then showed them a screen to show what she had meant.

"More whirlpools?" Vincent asked out of confusion.

"Indeed." Zadavia confirmed.

"Zadavia, wait, what's gotten into those whales?" Ace pointed once he noticed something strange.

"They're swimming in formation and causing the whirlpools!" Atticus noticed. "But why?"

"I am not sure." Zadavia replied softly.

"And look at what's at each one of those sites." Estelle said after noticing something.

"Zadavia, zoom in!" Cherry called.

The alien woman did as she said and there were the robotic dolphins like Duck and Akito told them about.

"There was something weird about them..." Lexi spoke up. "It sounded like that dolphin was talking."

"Talking?" Slam wondered.

"Like I said, dolphins are intelligent creatures with excellent communication skills." Cherry informed.

"Guys, could you translate so we could talk to those dolphins?" Ace asked Vincent, Akito, and Estelle.

"Sure." The Fudo siblings said in unison.

"Follow me then." Tech told the others.

Zadavia allowed them to while Duck still felt long-suffering about this whole thing so far and experimenting his new power with a glass of water.

"Alright, let's get started." Vincent said.

"Guys, guys, I got this new power!" Duck rushed over with his glass of water. "It's collassol, it's huge, it's, it's--"

Suddenly his sphere egg launched out of the water and splashed Cherry in the face.

"A laugh riot..." Cherry finished for him, looking more angry and cynical than usual.

"Oopsy..." Duck looked nervous then.

Tech set up the language translator system and had the kids who could talk to animals hook up to it so they could clear up this whole thing as they were ready to go back through the ocean.

'I know what me and Duck saw and I'm going to prove it.' Akito thought to himself.

"You guys ready?" Tech asked.

"We were born ready." Estelle replied.

Tech sent the three kids out into bubbles filled with air, as soon as they were into the water, the bubbles popped, and they turned into their underwater forms to have a few words with the creatures under the sea.

"I hope these dolphins will listen to us." Vincent said.

"I'm sure they will once they know we mean business..." Estelle shrugged.

They all then swam off to explore the ocean floor.

"What're they doing again?" Duck asked.

Ace groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Were you not paying attention at all?" Mo asked him.

"Sorry about him." Ace said to the woman.

"Ducks..." Cherry snorted after she sent Simon down for a nap.

"May I hold him?" Zadavia asked her.

Cherry shrugged, she carefully picked Simon back up and allowed the woman to hold him. Zadavia smiled and held Simon, seeming like a natural mother already.

"You seem to have natural maternal instincts." Mo noticed.

"I'm quite fond of children, I have always wanted my own, but I could never find the right person..." Zadavia said as she comforted Simon, but not in a way that would disturb his slumber.

"Have you considered adoption?" Cherry asked.

"Many times, but I feel my job might get in the way and I wouldn't have enough time to raise my son or daughter." Zadavia replied, sighing a little sadly.

"Well, there is always the option of taking a vacation." Duck suggested.

"Maybe after we can all live in peace once more." Zadavia shrugged.

"That would be a great idea." Mo said.
