Queen Athena had been sitting at her vanity for a long time; several hours.
"My queen, the preparations are complete," a servant said entering the room, "You have not eaten in hours. Would you like to eat, your majesty?"
"No, I am completely fine," said Queen Athena. "We must carry out the ceremony as fast as possible!"
Ace and Ersa managed to go back to Ersa's lab and get supplies needed for the antidote.
"So as soon as the Queen leaves her room, you search for the flower while I stall the wedding for as long as possible," Ace discussed the plan hiding from the guards.
"Since Cyclamen is the main ingredient, it shouldn't take more than five minutes to complete," Ersa said. Peeking around the corner, they could see Queen Athena and others leaving her room and heading to the ballroom. When the coast was clear, Ersa quickly ran to the room. Ace went to the ballroom.
"Eager to wed a Queen, aren't you now?" said Queen Athena. She was sitting on her throne behind a long table. Everything was floral and made of plants. But some leaves and vines had brown edges. To queen wasn't looking too well herself.
"I'm eager to get my friends and sister back," Ace said. "No offense but green ain't really my color." Ace took out his sword.
"Guardian strike sword!" he yelled. He blasted the table in front of Queen Athena, but she blocked it with some vines from the ground. The vines were big, but there were few of them. Ace easily cut through the vines. While Ace was fighting the Queen, Ersa was still searching for the Cyclamen flower.
"Why can't I find the stupid flower?" she whispered to herself. The room was big and Ersa barely searched half of the cases and doors. Ersa went through a leaf curtain and managed to find Lexi, Alice, and Megan trapped int sleeping pods. She used her powers to set the girls down.
"We have to find the Cyclamen quick!" Ersa said as the female heroes came to, "The petals are light pink and point upward." The girls searched franticly as they knew the Queen didn't have much time.
Queen Athena was getting weaker and weaker; her vines could barely leave the floor. Ace stopped fighting but kept his distance.
"You have to stop this," Ace said, "Let Ersa help you!"
"I…can't…stop..." said Athena as she used the last of her strength to create giant vines from the ground. Queen Athena lost control of the vines as they attack Ace and the servants. Although Ace was barely dodging the attacks, the falling rumble was making it harder. Ace shot some rumble and some more blasts appeared. He turned around and saw Alice, Lexi and Megan helping Ersa maneuver through the vines. Athena was unconscious on the far end of the room. Ersa ran to her, holding a small liquid vial in her fist. The Queen passed out. Ersa jumped over a vine and caught Queen Athena just in time. Ersa leaned the Queen's head up and slowly poured the liquid into her mouth. Seconds pasted and turned into minutes.
"Did it work?" asked Lexi, "Is she ok?" Then moments later, the vines started to retreat back to the ground. Servants rushed to aid the Queen.
"Your majesty!" they exclaimed. Queen Athena slowly opened her eyes; she looked exhausted but back to normal.
"Can someone please explain to me what happened?" Athena said as she was helped back to her throne. Ersa explained her whole plan of how she drugged the queen all to get her father back to normal. And even when she spoke it aloud, she had realized her wrong doing.
"I'll take any punishment you claim," Ersa kneeled nervously.
"Ya can't be too harsh on the kid though, right?" Ace interrupted.
"Yes, the castle is a reck, but no one was harmed…badly," said Alice. Queen Athena thought carefully.
"Your actions would be punishable since they were against the queen. But you do possess a skill not many have that could strengthen our plants and people," Queen Athena explained. "You will be kept under strict surveillance and at my side to teach these potions to me and future holders. We will see what we can do about your father Ares."
Once everything was settled down, the Loonatics were prepared to return to Acmetropolis. "We are truly thankful for your help again Loonatics," said Queen Athena.
"It's no problem," said Lexi.
"It's what us heroes do," Ace said. Then they set out to return home. Incoming call~
"I'm sure everything went well at Planet Apocalypso?" Zadavia spoke through the screen.
"ACE ALMOST GOT MAR-" Megan was cut off by a female bunny's hand.
"Beautiful planet Boss," Alice interrupted. "I just think Ace needs a break from ladies and flowers for a while."
