Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 95

They all went to the Tower.

Simon was sitting on the table while Tech was hooking up his inventions to take a look at the strange device that poisoned the mind of the delivery boy.

"Well, it's pretty simple," Tech remarked once he got a reading. "It's a chemical compound accelerator that can make the host with thought control levitation."

"To put it simpler: They brainwash him." Duck translated.

"In a way, yes." Vincent nodded.

"So, they took over his mind and free will to unleash his deepest, darkest desires." Jenny concluded as well.

"And those deep, dark desires earned us a bunch of free pies on the house!" Lexi smirked after she took a pizza slice.

Slam was so hungry, he started eating the boxes one by one.

"At least take them out of the box first!" Duck scolded him.

"I never understood the big deal about pizza..." Felicity spoke up. "I mean, in the eighteenth century, we do not have such a thing."

"Hey, where are Rev, Akito, and Estelle?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, here comes Rev now!" Lexi pointed.

The roadrunner was then zipping around and decided to do a little cleaning around the Tower.

"Rev, slow down!" Jenny giggled. "There's plenty of pizza for everybody!"

"Sorry, no time, gotta clean up, gotta get organized!" Rev sounded quicker than usual right now and started to clean up after everyone. He even started to wipe the drool off Simon's chin which annoyed the baby immensely.

Akito and Estelle were even cleaning the whole place as well.

"Okay, why are you three cleaning the tower?" Vincent asked.

"Well, we're expecting company." Estelle said.

"We can't look like slobs!" Akito added.

"Company?" Ace wondered. "What're you--"

The tower doorbell then rang and Rev dashed to the door.

"Mom! Pop!" Rev called to the roadrunner couple who were there.

'Wow, they truly are the parents of Rev.' Akito thought to himself.

Ralph and Harriet rushed over to meet their elder son they had not seen in a very long time.

"Just call us 'Ma and Pa Runner' and this is Rip." Ralph introduced and stepped aside with his wife to show a rather punk looking roadrunner with them who looked cynical.

"Hey..." Rip greeted, very flatly.

Simon smiled to Rip, giving his approval to him, due to his non caring attitude.

'Wow, he looks so cool.' Estelle thought to herself.

Ralph noticed the pizza and started to wildly peck at it which made Ace and Lexi feel a little uncomfortable. Harriet was picking out a few things, she seemed to talk a whole lot faster than Rev did and where no one could even understand what she was saying!

"Oh, no, so much to try to figure out what they're saying." Vincent said.

Harriet then started to peck at the pizza like her husband.

"My brain is melting!" Duck grabbed his head. "There's a whole family of 'em! I'm checking into a hotel!"

"Mind if I join you?" Vincent asked Duck.
