While the other Loonatics were trapped, the real Duck and Rev were trying to come to the rescue. Felicity held her knees and bowed her head, she looked rather miserable.
"Don't worry, if I know Akito, he's going to come to our rescue with a totally fool proof plan." Estelle said.
"Oh, I am not so sure..." Felicity sounded shaky.
"You just have to have faith in him." Estelle assured.
"Yeah and besides, there's no way he'd turn evil." Vincent added in.
Simon rolled around and tried to grab onto his sister's hands.
"Simon, letting go, sil vous plait..." Felicity took his hands off.
Simon glared and held onto her hands.
"Ow, you are hurting moi!" Felicity winced.
"Simon, please stop hurting your sister, please." Estelle begged him.
Simon glanced back, then kept his grip on Felicity's hands.
"Stopping it right now!" Felicity wailed.
Simon firmly put his feet on the ground and tried to force himself to stand up.
"Wait, I think he's trying to stand up and needs your help to help him stand." Vincent guessed.
"Simon?" Felicity stood next to her brother.
Simon grunted a little and tried to make himself stand, but then, the doors from a room shut, making him sit right where he tried to stand.
"Why did he stop? He was so close." Estelle said.
Mastermind and Akito were passing by then, the others gasped once they saw Akito with the cruel and intelligent villainess.
"M-Maybe he's here to free us," Estelle said hopefully before turning to her twin brother. "Right, Akito?"
Akito merely glanced to them.
"Your brother is no longer your friend, he works for us now..." Mastermind grinned sinisterly to them. "Isn't that right, boy?" She looked down to her new prodigy.
"Yes, Mastermind, I'm afraid so." Akito said before showing his own evil smile to them.
Simon only had his emotionless glance to Akito while the others looked surprised and worried.
"Akito, how could you do this to us!?" Ace glanced to the human boy.
"How could you betray us Akito?!" Estelle asked.
"I'm sorry, but I chose my destiny weeks ago with you to come and stay at this place, I now choose my own destiny for the path of bad." Akito replied.
"Akito, this isn't going to help bring Dad back from his case AKA mission!" Vincent glared.
"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind." Akito narrowed his eyes at them.
This was a side no one had seen from Akito and where they didn't like it. Lexi could see that this also affected Estelle very dearly and was about to say something that she had never said to either Akito or Vincent. Mastermind took Akito away, leaving the others to suffer. Simon kept his look on Akito and seemed to be thinking over something.
"Well done, Akito, you will make a fine overlord when you grow up..." Mastermind smiled to him, then walked off for a moment. "I'll be right back..."
Akito watched her go and the doors closed and he sighed slightly in relief. "Thank goodness for Aunt Darla's acting lessons..." He could now hear Estelle's grunts as she was attacking while trying to take out her frustration and hatred toward Akito, thinking that he betrayed them.
"Estelle, don't do that..." Lexi soothed.
"I'm sorry, but I can't believe Akito betrayed us like that!" Estelle shrieked. Tears began to form in her eyes as she was now getting exhausted and was starting to cry.
Lexi frowned and held the girl, gently stroking her hair in the hug. Estelle sniffled, letting it all out and then after a little while, she began to try to calm down.
"I'm sorry, Estelle..." Lexi soothed. "I-I'm sure there's a logical explanation behind this..."
"Yeah, no way this can't be happening." Ace added.
Simon looked to everyone, he fell to his hands and knees again and crawled off, watching Akito.
'I'll explain everything later.' Akito thought.
Simon could somehow hear Akito's thoughts and slowly nodded to the boy.
Mastermind came back to Akito and they went to carry out their plans. "Come, Akito, those pesty birds are on their way."
"Yes, Mastermind." Akito nodded to the woman and followed her out.
"When they see you, they are sure going to be in for a surprise." Mastermind grinned evilly.
"What's going to happen?" Akito asked.
Mastermind looked at Akito and decided that since Akito was now on their side, he had to know of what the plan was. "We're going to help Optimatus."
"With what?" Akito asked.
"He wants revenge against his sister on Freleng," Mastermind explained. "He loves power more than anything and wont' rest until he's put on top like he deserves and desires."
"So basically, he doesn't care of what he has to do to get the power, something like that?" Akito asked.
"Yes, and he trusts the four... Well... Five of us..." Mastermind smiled evilly to him, but not evil toward him since he was on the dark side now.
"So he could end the world if he wanted to?" Akito asked, he couldn't help it, but he sounded worried about that possibility.
"Yes, but don't worry, he promised that we would rule Acmetropolis." Mastermind told him.
"Oh, okay..." Akito sounded relieved, then quickly thought of something. "Because, where would we live then?"
"Don't worry, kid... It's going to be all 'bad'..." Mastermind smirked and walked with him.
