"You let them escape!?" WeatherVane scolded.

"Well, you did leave him alone and where, of course, my sister, older brother, cousin, and baby cousin are with the Loonatics and where my sister is able to outsmart someone as dumb, as well Sypher." Akito said.

"Relax, you two, I'm handling this." Sypher insisted.

Suddenly, he got blasted in his back and hit right against the wall.

"See?" Sypher asked, a little weakly.

"Never let a boy do a weather girl's job!" WeatherVane sneered as she conjured lightning bolts in her hands.

"WeatherVane is mine." Vincent glared as he conjured lightning bolts in his hands.

"You got it." Ace agreed.

WeatherVane and Vincent had a lightning fight, which caused their bolts to actually thunder against each other.


"Akito, why don't you have the honor of battling Ace?" Mastermind asked.

Akito was a little worried about that, but hid his worries and narrowed his eyes. "You got it!" he then dashed to the Loonatic member that had been like a mentor to him.

"Akito, I'm sorry that it has come to this." Ace said sadly before getting into fighting stance.

'You and me both.' Akito thought to himself before doing the same.

Akito and Ace began to fight like they would during training, except this time, it was for real.

'There's gotta be someway to tell Ace about my plan.' Akito thought to himself.

Mastermind decided to take on Tech, hating him the most. Simon crawled around as there were blasts all around and he was able to dodge them. Akito attacked Ace head on and they both clashed swords.

"I never thought I'd have to do this, but I just wanna let ya know, this hurts me more than it hurts you!" Ace said to Akito as they battled.

'Trust me, Ace, I know I how you feel.' Akito thought to himself.


After Sypher regained consciousnesses, he decided to help his fellow villains in destroying the Loonatics forever. Duck was being the rather cowardly one, even more than the kids, despite being older than them.

"Here's another present for you, Duck..." Massive glared at him, crackling his knuckles together.

"Oh, that's okay, I don't need any presents!" Duck grew nervous.

Before Massive could do anything, Slam trapped him in a tornado spin. Estelle was fighting side by side with Lexi.

Felicity did her best while Simon sat there and tugged on her uniform. "Not now, Simon..."

Simon folded his arms, he then got bored and crawled into his carriage and decided to take a nap.

"How much longer do we have to wait for Optimatus?" Akito asked Mastermind while battling Ace.

"He'll come when he's ready, the big bad always likes to make a nice entrance." Mastermind smiled to him.

Even though the good guys always won, facing all these villains and even Akito was a bit of a challenge. Duck had opened the elvator after the others decided to get out of here.

"Slam, a little blow back please!" Ace told the Tasmanian Devil once this became a great obstacle for them.

Slam blew the bad guys and Akito away and they all then rushed to the elevator as Massive fell to the floor, incredibly dizzy. Felicity grabbed Simon's carriage handle and pushed him to go with her and the others.

'This plan of mine sure is a challenge.' Akito thought to himself.

Once they were all in the elevator, Duck shut the door and they were gone.


Mastermind ran over, very outraged. "Bring down that elevator!" she commanded, either Massive or Akito, due to them being the strongest.

"I'll bring them down." Akito volunteered.

Mastermind allowed him to. Akito smiled evilly and went to do as told. The Loonatics went up the elevator, trying to remain calm. Simon drank from his bottle and looked down to see an ominous glow coming after them.

"Um, what is that ominous glow?" Vincent asked, nervously.

Simon looked over, lookiing a little deathly and slit his throat with his finger to imply death.

"Why am I not liking the way he's that?" Duck asked, scared.


Luckily, Tech saved them from complete and total destruction and they made it out of the elevator safely.

"Nice going, Tech!" Estelle cheered as she left with the other Loonatics.

Ace looked to see the villains coming back. "Nobody get comfy, we got company!"

"Oh, great, I hate company." Vincent groaned, referring to the villains.

"I'm gonna wipe the shine right off that head!" Lexi sneered towards Mastermind.

"Same here." Estelle added in.

There was suddenly a familiar glow.

"Zadavia...?" Felicity asked in confusion.

"Not exactly..." Ace saw who it was.

It was a man that none of them had seen before and yet he used Zadavia's way of communicating with the Loonatics. The villains gasped in fear, which made Akito conclude that this had to be who they were all waiting for.

"So, let me guess, this is Optimatus, right?" Akito asked.

The other villains slowly nodded.

"I told you to do one simple thing," the man snarled at the villains. "Catch the Loonatics, but you can't even do that! I should eradicate you as well!"

The other villains begged to not have that happen.

"What is eradicate meaning?" Felicity asked.

Simon took out his teddy bear and ripped its head off and threw it off the edge of the building to demonstrate.

"That would be eradicating." Estelle said, noticing Simon's demonstration.

"I see..." Felicity was a little horrified.

"But I suppose you managed to improve." Optimatus continued, he then took out his hand and made a black hole vortex appear.

"No way, Suction Boy!" Duck rejected, then went to stop it.

"Duck!" Ace called out to him to stop him. "Wait!"

"You still got my so-called powers to return!" Duck kept running after as Akito and the villains were sucked away.

Simon got out from his carriage again and crawled, though quicker, to go after Duck and bring him back. The suction took them all then.

"Simon, no!" Estelle called out.

Soon, everything and everyone disappeared, worrying the Loonatics.

"Simon!" Felicity cried.

"Where did they go?" Vincent asked.


Meanwhile...

The vortex brought Duck, the villains, Akito, and Simon to a deserted land.

"Whoops..." Duck muttered, feeling failed as he saw the four evildoers glaring at him.

"Well, look what the wormhole just dragged in." Optimatus glared at Duck and Simon for being trespassers.

"Duck got to be dragged in because he wanted his powers back, but for Simon, I have no idea." Akito informed him.

Optimatus picked up Simon and held the boy in his hand. "Charming little creature, isn't he?"

Simon emotionlessly glanced at him and slowly blinked.

"Yeah, you might wanna be careful around him, he's not a normal baby." Akito told him.

"I think he just needs a friend..." Optimaus gave Simon something dangerous.

Simon held the object and put it in his mouth, sucking on it like any normal baby would.

"Now boy, why are you here?" Optimaus looked to Akito.

"He has joined our side." Mastermind answered.

"A mere child joining the dark side, how unexpected," Optimatus smiled rather evilly. "And has your little brother joined you?"

"He's my cousin." Akito corrected.

"Where did you come from then?" Optimatus took the object out of Simon's mouth. "Only a tortured soul could have conceived you, someone who has darkness in her heart and could be my destined one, if she did not have already her own children by the time you came along. Someone who uses other people's misery as her only happiness!"

"That's a very accurate description of Aunt Cherry," Akito remarked. "Besides, she's already married, buddy!"

"Okay and what can you provide for us to show that you may be of use?" Optimatus asked the boy.

"I have a lot of talents," Akito explained. "I have the strength of Hercules like Dad did, I can turn into a merman, I recently earned male Wiccan powers, and I have all the powers of the Loonatics."

"Hmm, then you may be of use after all," Optimatus said. "And how strong was this Hercules again? And how is that strength useful?"

"You don't keep up with Earth history, do you?" Akito asked.

"Not really, why?" Optmatius asked.

Simon pointed to a heavy rock and looked to Akito. Akito got the message and went to pick it up like it was filled with air. This surprised Optimatus very much. Simon then pointed to the heavy rock and then pounded a fist into the palm of his right hand. Akito nodded, getting the massage again and used his strength to smash the heavy rock with his right hand after turning it into a fist.

"Amazing..." Optimatus was impressed with what Akito could do.

"I can't do my merman or Wiccan powers since there's no water and I don't have my spell book right now." Akito looked back at him.

"We'll have to do without either of those powers for now." Optimatus said.

"I understand." Akito nodded.

"What can you do?" Optimatus looked down to Simon.

Simon pulled out a stuffed bunny toy by the ears, took out a switchblade knife, and slashed at its throat, making the body fall instantly with stuffing dropped after.

"Interesting." Optimatus said.

'Estelle, I hope you, Dad, Aunt Cherry, Zadavia, and the others get here soon.' Akito thought to himself.


While that was going on...

"I still can't believe that Akito would betray us, it's not like him, he wouldn't do this, unless..." Estelle said before realizing what Akito was really up to.

"What is it, Estelle?" Felicity asked in concern.

"Of course, Akito hasn't betrayed us, this was a part of his plan, but the question is where did Optimatus take them and how do we find them?" Estelle asked.

"I don't know, can we even have someone help us?" Slam added.

"Loonatics..." a female voice called to them.

They all turned to see a cloaked figure with two shadows behind her.

"There's something I must tell you." the female figure, revealing to be Zadavia spoke to them, she even removed her hood.

The others were delighted to meet Zadavia in person at last.

"Zadavia?" Estelle asked out of amazement.

"Uh, Zadavia?" Ace walked over. "Something about that big guy looked familiar."

"I'm not surprised," Zadavia frowned. "After all... He is my brother."

The Loonatics gasped in shock to find that out.

"Oh, brother..." Ace commented.

"Well, every family has it's bad ones..." Lexi added.

"Yeah..." Estelle added.

"So much to be taking in right now..." Felicity held her head.

"Don't worry, I have two guests with me who will hopefully clear this up for you." Zadavia replied.

The two shadows came to the light to show Cherry and Atticus were there.

"And who are you guys?" Rev asked.

"Maman!" Felicity rushed to her mother.

"Oh, Daddy!" Estelle cried, rushing towards her father.

Vincent rushed over to Atticus as well.
