Ace parked the jet just outside the hideout and they were ready to work.

"They are sure to notice us and will want to attack." Akito said.

"Let's try to keep it that way." Ace said once they carefully got settled.

They all went into the room, however, once they were in, there was some type of flooding down on them and it became dark very quickly.

"Uh-oh." Estelle said.

"H-Hey, who turned out the lights?" Duck got nervous.

Then Black Velvet's henchmen came to attack them. Lexi came to Felicity and Estelle, beating the black velvet minions before they would get hurt themselves.

Rev was calculating to the girls where the henchmen were, able to sense them and know where they were. "Slam, they're right in front of ya, spin ahead!" he then told the Tasmanian devil.

Slam grinned and went into his tornado spin to go after more cronies.

"Uh-oh, Slam, watch out!" Rev called as he was about to crash against one of his teammates.

"Hey, where are you going?" Felicity could also see in the dark.

Black Velvet was flying off and Felicity went after her.

"Let's hope that these guys can go down quickly." Vincent said.

Felicity followed Black Velvet as she came to a machine that was zapping with electricity. "You bad woman, I am going to get you..." she whispered softly while spying on the dark villainess.


"The light wave generator, my plan is almost complete... Take it away, boys!" Black Velvet ordered her minions.

The spot minions gathered around the generator and took it up with them, having strength and power all together.

"Oh, my..." Felicity whispered in shock and worry.

"Who's there?" Black Velvet turned her head briefly.

Felicity tried to hide herself.

"Who are you?" Black Velvet glared at her.

Felicity looked firm, she climbed over to the woman. "I am Felicity Precious Chantal Forte, your future winner in the battle of le Bien et le Mal, otherwise known as the good and evil!"

Black Velvet laughed. "Why? No one ever listens to you..."

Felicity looked firm and shook her tiny fists. "You be silent right now, and just give up, my les cousins and le Fous will end you!"

"My, you think you're smart, don't you?" Black Velvet came closer to her and tried to hypnotize her. "Why fight it? You haven't gotten any attention since your baby brother was born..."

"How are you knowing about Simon...?" Felicity looked to her in accusatory.

"I know everything about you and your family." Black Velvet said, still trying to hypnotize her.

"You do...?" Felicity was coming into a trance.

"I'll be your friend, Felicity..." Black Velvet cooed to her. "Just forget about your old family... Especially your mother... She never even loved you..."

"She didn't?" Felicity sounded like she was going to cry then.

"Of course not..." Black Velvet continued. "She even says you were a mistake and you shouldn't have even been born..."

Felicity was now completely under Black Velvet's trance as a tear slipped out of her right eye.


"I can't see 'em, but I can smell 'em!" Duck called as he and the other Loonatics kept trying to fight the henchmen. "HIYAH!"

"Hiyah somewhere else, Duck!" Ace scolded him, he almost got karate chopped.

"Sorry..." Duck muttered in embarrassment.

"We had what we came for and more crush them!" Black Velvet ordered before leaving with Felicity by her side. "I see dark times ahead, Loonatics."

Felicity laughed as she joined Black Velvet into the darkness, abandoning the Loonatics. The minions came back for a brief moment to cut down a tower in the dark and left, making light be shown. By the time everyone could see again, a high tower was coming down right behind them!

"Oh, no, incoming!" Slam yelled in Tasmanian language as soon as he saw the building coming down at them.

"Loonatics, let's jet!" Ace commanded.

The Loonatics broke apart, except for Duck, who was purposely standing there. Duck only stood there to show off his teleportation skills. The others didn't see it though and they thought maybe he was crushed to death.

"Oh, no, Duck!" Estelle called out of concern.

"Come on, guys, help him!" Vincent removed the pieces with the others.

Duck teleported back, inches away from them. "Whoo-hoo! Missed me!" he smirked, looking rather smug that he survived the crash.

The others death glared to him for making them worry themselves sick over him.

"Catch us if you are able to, Fous!" Felicity cackled.

"What the heck happened to her?" Estelle asked.

"We'll do with that later, now come on, we can't lose her now!" Ace called.


They all then returned to the jet, Vincent, Akito, and Estelle got very concerned over Felicity. They then flew off and went after Black Velvet and hopefully to rescue Felicity.

"Time to pop this balloon!" Akito called with a determined smile.

"Just gotta set coordinates," Ace narrowed his eyes, unable to find anyone. "Pickin' up anything, Tech?" he asked for clearance.

Tech tried to look, but had trouble. "They must've deployed some sort of cloaking device."

"What about you, Rev?" Ace asked the roadrunner.

Rev couldn't find anything either. "No nuthin'."

Little did they know that Black Velvet was right on top of them and she sent her minions to leave them alone in the dark. It was dark a little while for them, but then the darkness went away along with Tech and Akito.

"Hey, where did Tech and Akito go?" Ace noticed them gone.

"Look!" Lexi gasped and pointed up to show their teammates being swallowed up by the darkness.

Black Velvet laughed as she had taken two more of the Loonatics in her grasp.

"Ace, we have to go after them!" Estelle said out of concern for her twin brother and coyote team member.

"Ya got that right," Ace looked very serious. "Ya take some of us, you take us all!"

"Ace, I'm picking something up straight ahead!" Rev called out as they were blocked by Black Velvet's smoke for a brief time.

Ace looked ahead once it cleared up. "I see 'em!"

"Hold on, Akito, Felicity, and Tech, we're coming." Estelle said.

Ace sped the jet up as fast as he could, but Black Velvet had disappeared in a thick black cloud. There were other ships that came out from it and they blasted purple streaks.

"Three bogies at 12:00!" Ace called. "Let's get 'em a piece of action!"

"Yes, sir!" Vincent called.


The jet went super fast, trying to avoid the enemy ships. Tech and Akito were strapped down to metal boards, not even Akito's inherited strength could break him free.

"Welcome to my city in the clouds," Black Velvet came to the two hostages. "Isn't it gorgeous? I built it for myself and all my shadow borgs... So we can live high in the sky."

"Beats the road rock you crawled out from under." Tech retorted with a smirk.

"Yeah." Akito added in with a smirk.

"In case you two haven't noticed, I'm no common face," Black Velvet revealed a cannon hand. "I'm not like everyone else..." she then removed her hood. "When they sent a meteor for Earth, my eyes have become permanently scarred." she then removed her goggles to show her slinted eyes.

Tech and Akito looked a little shocked.

"And your brain's been permanently scrambled." Akito then commented.

"Nice one, kid." Tech said to the boy.

Akito smiled back to him.

"It might..." Black Velvet huffed. "I've been forced to be living here for far too long! Which is why I need scientists of your genius to help!" she then grinned to Tech and Akito.

"Never gonna happen..." Tech snarled. "I know what you're up to and I'm sure Akito knows too."

"Oh, really?" Black Velvet grinned. "Enlighten me."

"You'll use the doppler radar to project a current of darkness powered by the pulses of the light wave eliminator which will block out our sun and plunge Acemetropolis into permanent darkness." Tech and Akito explained her plan in unison before widening their eyes.

"I call it the Shround Caster," Black Velvet grinned as they realized what they just concluded. "And soon, everyone will suffer as I have! But you've forgot... The industrious coyote and with the brilliant 600 year old boy to help me..."

"You're dreaming, hot stuff." Tech mocked laughter.

"No way, lady, we'll never help you," Akito said. "Now, where's my cousin?"

"Your cousin?" Black Velvet pretended to not know who he was referring to. "Oh, you mean my Little Miss Darkness friend?"

Felicity came in then, she was wearing a black cloak as well, she still had pigtails, but they were tied with black bows and she had a black mask that made her eyes red like Black Velvet's. "I am your cousin for no longer, Akito..." she firmly told her cousin. "I am from now on to be referred to as Petit Manquer Obscurité, or for your pathetic, puny, English brain, 'Little Miss Darkness'." she then translated.

"What have you done to her?!" Akito glared at Black Velvet.

"I've done nothing, this was her own choice." Black Velvet grinned.

"How are you liking me now!?" Felicity sounded evil like her father used to be.

"Felicity, we liked you before, no, we loved you for who you were not of who you have turned into and Black Velvet, it's still a no on helping you with your evil plan." Akito said.

"You are just making up stories!" Felicity hissed. "No more lies!"

"She's mine now..." Black Velvet grinned, then started to shoot Tech's head. "Such as your intelligence!"

"Ow, not in the face!" Tech grunted.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Akito yelled.

"Now your turn." Black Velvet said before started to shoot Akito's head.

"Ow, ow, ow! Hey, stop that!" Akito grunted.

"Now it just reaches into your mind until I have complete control." Black Velvet smiled evilly.

Tech's eyes changed like Black Velvet's true eyes once he was mind controlled. Akito's eyes changed like Black Velvet's true eyes once he was mind controlled as well.

Once they were set, Black Velvet freed them then. "Now, how about you boys get to work, alright?" she smirked, leading them to dark energy fields.

"As you wish..." Akito and Tech droned.
