Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 119

"Let's see who this shadow person is." Atticus said.

Cherry was being lifted in the air from the shadow. "Oh, no, you don't!" she then grabbed the shadow really tightly and made it wither and fall onto the ground.

"Would you mind getting off me?" the shadow figure replied. "I'm here to help."

"Wait, that voice, I've heard it once before." Mo said with a smile.

Cherry snarled.

"Cherry, get up, he won't hurt us." Mo reassured.

Cherry's eyes were narrowed, but she got up and stood her ground.

"Thanks." The shadow figure smiled while getting up.

"No problem, Uncle Planet." Mo smiled.

The figure patted Mo on the head. Mo giggled and hugged the member from her biological family. Forte looked over to Cherry, quizzically. Cherry shrugged with a confused face as well.

"Everyone, I would like you to meet my biological uncle, Captain Planet." Mo smiled.

"We've heard of you." Atticus said.

Cherry looked back. "We have?"

"Yeah, don't you remember?" Atticus prompted.

"Uhh..." Cherry tried to think.

*Flashback*

"Sir, I don't mean to talk back, but why am I here?" Mo raised her hand. "I'm not a witch either."

"No, but your family your biological family is related to Captain Planet which means you are related to Captain Planet as well." the currently long retired Head of the Witches Council said.

"Hmm!" Mo smiled in approval. "That's cool! Do you know how he's related to me?"

"We're working on it," Drell smiled. "I wanna say he's your uncle, but we'll get back to you on that."

*End of Flashback*

"Oh, yeah..." Cherry remembered now.

"It's great to finally meet you." Forte said to Captain Planet.

"Likewise," Captain Planet said to him. "Now, I hear there's been some trouble with Vincent?"

"We can't find him anywhere!" Mo nearly cried in an emotional rage.

Zadavia held her and gently patted her on the back.

"We can't even sense his blood." Forte said.

"You must be vampires..." Captain Planet said.

Cherry opened her mouth wide to show her fangs, then gestured to her husband. "He turned me..."

"Can you find him?" Mo asked through her tears.

"Well, for that, we will have to locate him through the heart." Captain Planet told her.

'What kind of lame power is heart anyway?' Cherry deadpanned in her mind.

"The heart is powerful thing and not a lame power, Cherry." Captain Planet answered.

Cherry gave him a look. "Well, I think it is..." But then she went wide-eyed. "Wait, did you just read my mind?" she then asked.

"I did." Captain Planet confirmed.

Cherry narrowed her eyes, looking cynical as always. "Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I didn't exist..."
