Akito and the Loonatics

chapter 148

"Does he really think we'll be stuck here?" Felicity asked.

"It might be a fluke." Estelle said.

Felicity stared longly.

"Trap, diversion, trick." Estelle defined.

"Ah." Felicity nodded then.

"Okay, then Akito, drill a hole through that wall." Eloise said.

"Stand back." Akito advised.

The kids nodded and stepped back a little as Akito went to work. Akito then fly up into the air before drilling through the wall of avalanged rocks.

"Way to go, kid!" Ace coached.

Akito continued since the rocks were blocking any possible way out, but with him, they would be able to get through.

"So, Tweetums, is there any way we can stop them from using the scepter?" Estelle asked.

"I'm afraid I don't know..." Tweetums frowned. 'Ixta never told me... I sure do miss her..." He then remembered about the pendents he gave to Duck and Akito.

Suddenly, a couple of vehicles came up as Akito was just about finished. The top shields opened up to reveal Tech with Simon and Jenny with Rev.

"Guys!" Ace smiled. "Aren't ya just a breath of fresh air?"

"Wait, where's everyone else?" Felicity asked.

"Don't worry," Jenny said. "We put them in an emergency shelter in the Tower until this would all be settled."

"Whew." Felicity sighed out of relief.

"Wait! I just remembered something!" Tweetums said.

"What is it?" Akito asked the canary. "Speak, bird, speak!"

"Your pendent and Mr. Duck's pendent are very important, they are the only way to activate the wormholes with the royal scepter." Tweetums said.

"Really?" Akito asked.

"I can't believe I forgot," Tweetums said, shaking his head. "I'm sorry."

"If they find out about that, then we're all in trouble." Akito said.

"Hopefully they won't..." Eloise said. "Villains are dumb sometimes.... Then again, this villain is Optimatus."

"So what should we do while we're here, Tech?" Jenny asked.

"You all must help Mr. Duck from Wormhole Central before it's too late!" Tweetums told the others.

Tech, Jenny, Simon, and Rev then came down.

"Maybe Tech could modify your egg robots." Jenny said.

"Oh, you think you could do that, Mr. Coyote?" Tweetums asked.

"In my sleep." Tech smiled proudly.

"Then get started." Akito said.

"Gladly, you wanna help, Jenny?" Tech asked.

Jenny sighed a little sadly. "I have nothing better to do."

"You okay, Jenny?" Akito asked.

Jenny looked back over. "I miss the old Vincent."

"I promise he will be back." Akito said.

"Maybe a song will bring him back." Eloise smiled.

"You think so?" Estelle asked.

"Never know unless you try..." Eloise shrugged.

"She's right." Felicity said.

"Hmm..." Akito and Estelle hummed.

"Whatever happens, I just want the old Vincent back..." Jenny sighed. "He made me feel like a real princess..."

"And he will be back to his old self." Akito promised.

"I certaintly hope so." Jenny said.

"Come on, let's get to work," Akito said. "Jenny, you should come with us."

"I don't know..." Jenny still frowned which was a very sad sight since she was almost always happy ever since she had adopted Oliver. "Vincent really hurt me..."

"Right now, he might need your help more than ever." Estelle said.

Jenny sighed softly. "Okay... I'll give it a try the next time we see him."

"Thank you." Akito smiled.

"I just hope this works..." Jenny sighed, then turned to the coyote and roadrunner. "Tech, Rev, I'm going with the others, you look after Tweetums and get to building for whenever necessary."

"You got it." Tech and Rev said.

Simon crawled over.

Felicity bent down and picked up her little brother. "Guess he's coming with us too."

"Let's get going then." Akito said once the plan was set.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Ace said.

"Same here." Patch said.

Meanwhile, Optimatus had been betrayed and was now locked up.

He looked up once he saw a familiar shadow arrive and approach to him with a guest. "Zadavia... What are you doing here?"

"What does it look like, Big Brother?" Zadavia smirked with her hands on her hips. "Saving the universe." she then lifted her left hand and zapped an energy blast to save her brother from the shackles.

"You sure about this, Zadavia?" Captain Planet asked after entering the room.

"He may be vile and rotten, but he's still my brother." Zadavia looked back.

Of course, the release of a prisoner activated the security system.

"Zadavia, Captain Planet, duck!" Optimatus told them.

The two ducked down and Optimatus zapped the robots who were trying to sneak attack them from behind.

"Whoa, thanks for the save, Optimatus." Captain Planet smiled.

"Nice shooting." Zadavia added, very much amazed.

"Why are you helping us?" Captain Planet asked.

"Deuce betrayed me," Optimatus explained. "He plans to plunge the universe into chaos."

"Well, he is a villain after all." Captain Planet said.

"What did you expect?" Zadavia added in. "We're talking about Deuce here..."

Optimatus frowned in disappointment. "I can't believe you're both here though... I thought you were goners..."

"Well, I had the cosmic guitar," Zadavia reminded. "And therefore, I was able to restore my powers."

"Along with mine." Captain Planet said.

"With Deuce, Captain Pollution, and Vincent thinking we're all out of the way, we could catch them off-guard and stop them." Zadavia proposed.

"This seems most unusual..." Optimatus whispered. "Us fighting together..."

"It's better than fighting as enemies." Captain Planet said.

"Fighting on the same team." Zadavia smiled to her brother, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Ah... I like that..." Optimatus actually seemed to smile at that idea.

"I somehow knew that you would like the idea." Captain Planet said.

Zadavia was very excited to have her brother on her side.

"Um, are you two together?" Optimatus asked his sister and the nature based stranger.

The two of them looked at him and then looked at each other before blushing which caused him to smirk playfully.

"That's not important right now..." Zadavia said.

Optimatus chuckled. "My little sister's all grown up."

"Can we please stay focused at the task at hand?" Captain Planet asked while blushing.

"Sure, whatever you say." Optimatus replied.
