Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 128

Atticus, Mo, Cherry, Forte, Captain Planet, and Zadavia camped out as it was getting late into their journey.

"I have a bad sense..." Mo held her stomach.

The others looked to her, curiously.

"Is it your son?" Captain Planet asked.

"I'm afraid Vincent's been corrupted..." Mo frowned deeply.

"Same here." Atticus said.

"I'm sorry, guys..." Cherry frowned to her friends as she turned her head and shut her eyes, feeling ill, but not like they did since Vincent was their son.

"Hey, we can fix this..." Atticus told her. "We always fix things that are broken... We've done it ever since Cinderella... Remember?"

"Oh, Atticus, we were just kids..." Cherry groaned. "It's time to grow up..."

"No, Atticus is right, we can fix this and if not us, then our kids can fix this." Mo said.

"If you say so..." Cherry fluttered her lips.

"Cerise, it'll be okay..." Forte soothed, attempting to put his arm around her.

"What if it's not!?" Cherry stood up and walked off shortly. "Our children travel centuries into the future of that city planet and they risk their lives all the time! What if one day they don't succeed!? What if my book's wrong...?" she then asked the last bit softly and sadly. "What if they go on a mission and it actually kills them?"

"They won't die or be killed." Atticus assured her.

Cherry's book then appeared and opened up, showing a distant future where Akito and Ace were fighting Deuce and where it showed Deuce defeated, but the next page was blank after Akito plunged his sword into the royal scepter.

"Excuse me... "Cherry decided to check her book.

Atticus, Mo, and Forte came to her sides, so Captain Planet and Zadavia were left unknowingly alone together. And when the four of them read what the book had to show them they were shocked that it wasn't complete.

"Cherry, what happens next?" Atticus asked.

"I... I don't know..." Cherry mumbled.

"It's blank...." Forte frowned.

"What does it mean?" Mo asked.

"I... I don't know..." Cherry held her head. "This can't be how it ends..."

"It appears so..." Forte looked over her shoulder as there was nothing more to tell.

"I guess it's up to fate..." Cherry closed the book and bowed her head.

"Agreed." Forte nodded.

Cherry buried her face in his chest. Forte put his arm around her then. Mo sighed as she was holding Atticus and he held her back.

Zadavia took out her handheld computer. "My presence is required for the assistance I sent out after Vincent and Jennifer's disappearance when I brought in the one they called 'Eloise'."

"Looks like things are getting crazy." Captain Planet said.

"I better attend this..." Zadavia told the adults.

"You want one of us to go with you?" Captain Planet asked.

"Oh, I do my best work alone..." Zadavia replied. "You... Better stay here with your niece and her friends."

"No, Zadavia, you'll need all the help you can get." Mo said.

"Will you all be okay?" Zadavia asked.
