"We have company!" Estelle called out.
"Ace, center manoveur a crossfire!" Rev called to the male bunny in control since he was the team leader.
"What he said." Vincent added in.
Ace struggled, but he got two bots to explode and make their escape.
"Nice move, Ace!" the girls cheered.
There were more coming for them however.
"Thanks, but we got more on our tail!" Ace cried.
"How many these things does Optimatus have?" Vincent asked.
"It's hard to say, he's always been so unpredictable." Zadavia didn't even know as Tech suggested attack moves to Ace.
"Let's see if my powers can be used in space." Vincent hoped.
"Never know unless you try." Cherry shrugged at him.
"Alright, then let's hope my powers work in space." Vincent began to create his very first space storm.
Cherry walked up to him with a special helmet in her hands. "Are you going out into space to create this storm?" she asked him, she didn't want him to get seriously hurt in the deep vacuums.
"Yes, I am." Vincent nodded.
"Wear this, you may not be technically mortal, but you'll need this since you don't have alien blood like Felicity and I do." Cherry sealed the helmet on his head.
Vincent winced at first, but then grew used to it and went off to create his first space storm.
"You cared about him..." Atticus was shocked at Cherry's generosity.
"Of course I did, he's family..." Cherry replied.
Cherry kept a close on Vincent, she knew he could do it, but she was a little worried. She, of course, knew a little more about space than they did, next to Zadavia. Vincent was able to create his very first space storm.
"Go, Vincent!" Estelle cheered.
Next to the defense weapons, the space storm went well with taking down more droids.
"Radar's picking up three more bogies!" Ace called. "Closing in fast!"
"He's gotta be running out of droids sometime, right?" Estelle asked.
The droids came closer and closer to the ship. Vincent tried to bolt at them, but he missed them and they hit the ship, making it shake everyone inside.
"What do ya have to do?" Lexi scoffed. "Bite them by the bolts?" She then turned herself to the others and saw two people were missing. "Say, where's Zadavia and Cherry?"
"I dunno, out for lunch maybe?" Slam shrugged.
"Whoa, check this out, guys!" Ace called to them.
"They're outside, aren't they?" Atticus asked.
Zadavia and Cherry had a glow around them and they helped destroy the droids, doing quicker and better damage to help Vincent.
"Wow, those two are good." Estelle said, impressed.
Zadavia even made two droids crash against each other and cause a huge explosion. "I must say, it's thrilling to work with you, Cherry."
"Likewise..." Cherry nodded softly.
"Wahoo!" Estelle cheered. "Go, Aunt Cherry and Zadavia!"
"Kicking it to the end zone, Maman!" Felicity added.
Optimatus was watching the whole thing with little Simon. "Zadavia and that beautiful immortal specimen are more impressive than I expected... No matter..." He was still determined to make this a huge challenge for the future of the Loonatics.
Simon blankly looked at his mother and actually looked worried for her.
"Ladies, this is not the time to take a stroll!" Ace panicked for them.
"We'll hold them off, you get to the planetoid and stall them off!" Zadavia commanded.
Suddenly, Zadavia and Cherry were zapped.
"MAMAN!" Felicity shrieked.
"ZADAVIA, AUNT CHERRY!" Estelle also shrieked.
"Tech, Slam, Lexi, help them!" Ace told the others. "I'll cover ya!"
Felicity started to cry and she grabbed Estelle into a hug as tears streamed down her face.
"Bring them to me at once..." Optimatus commanded.
The droid that zapped the adult women did as told and made its way over to the true big bad.
"Quick, after that droid!" Atticus called out.
"And sil vous plait, bring back Maman!" Felicity added.
Slam, Lexi, and Tech donned their spacesuits and flew out after the droids as commanded. Lexi used an energy blast against one droid while Slam punched another with a tornado spin.
"Don't worry, Felicity, they'll bring Aunt Cherry and Zadavia back and besides, what could go wrong?" Estelle asked.
Felicity sniffled and kept crying at that question.
"I can't get a lock on 'em!" Rev cried. He tried to shoot at every possibility at the one droid, but kept missing due to being unable to lock his target.
The droid hit the ship just as Lexi, Slam, and Tech made a new destination.
"Was that a droid hitting the ship?" Vincent asked.
Lexi, Slam, and Tech looked over and the ship exploded, worrying them instantly.
"I didn't have a chance to tell him..." Lexi was instantly heartbroken, there was no way they could have survived that. She looked to Ace's torn uniform rag and it made her even sadder. "There's nothing left..." she had tears in her eyes now.
"Oh, we wouldn't say that." Estelle's voice said.
Lexi turned to see everyone was now there and in their spacesuits as well. "ACE!" she rushed and hugged the male bunny instantly. "I thought we lost you!"
"Hey, careful," Ace chuckled. "You'll wrinkle the spacesuit."
"Uh... You scared us!" Lexi slapped his arm then to cover up her emotional outburst over him. "We thought we lost you!"
"Yeah, the ship went boom!" Slam added.
"We got out just in time." Atticus said.
Rev then had a rather very long and fast-paced addition in response to that.
"Thanks, Rev, not a hot issue right now," Lexi put her hand on his shoulder with a smile. "Let's go."
It was then time to move on.
"Let's get moving." Estelle suggested.
Meanwhile...
Duck was crying to be let out for some water, but he actually had a smart plan to get him out of there.
"Forces, bring my sister and her new friend to me." Optimatus commanded.
The drones did as told and carried Zadavia and Cherry, who were now strapped down and trapped against their will. Simon looked to his mother, he looked emotionless and stoic again.
"So, what will you do with them, if you don't mind me asking?" Akito replied, humbly.
"Zadavia shall pay for my defiance," Optimatus remarked. "And those with incompetence will learn what happens when you disappoint me,..." he glanced to the fearful Sypher, WeatherVane, Mastermind, and Massive.
Zadavia and Cherry looked to him without fear. Simon looked to his mother blankly.
"Ah, ladies, are you comfortable?" Optimatus smirked to them, obviously being sarcastic.
"Not in the slightest!" Zadavia scowled.
Cherry didn't answer, she just looked away from him.
"Well, then I guess you both will love this even more." Optimatus smirked, being sarcastic again before showing Akito.
Duck had snuck out of his prison, he saw what was happening, but did his best to keep quiet. He was really glad that Simon wasn't the easily frightened or excited baby, otherwise, he would probably be busted right now.
"Akito?" Zadavia was surprised.
"I also have this little guy..." Optimatus held Simon out like a trophy.
"You better not have touched a hair on his little head!" Cherry grew vocal then.
"Calm down, you old hag, he hasn't been hurt." Akito said to Cherry. 'Please forgive me, Aunt Cherry.' he then thought to himself.
"Excuse me?" Cherry narrowed her eyes which turned into blood red instantly with her fangs popping out. He had done it.
'Oh, I've done it now, hopefully she'll figure out what I'm up to and play along until the time is right.' Akito thought to himself.
Optimatus nodded to them and was now ready to rule the world.
"Hey, we had a deal!" Massive stopped him. "You said we could rule Acmetropolis!" he then folded his arms in sudden anger and betrayal.
"And you will," Optimatus promised. "But five minutes of test left..."
Sypher got angry too and started to glow instantly.
"This can't end well for them." Akito said, referring to the villains, minus Optimatus.
Optimatus had zapped Sypher for attempting to disobey him and slammed him and Mastermind against the wall, painfully. Massive had enough and stormed over to Optimatus to get even with him. The two had their own personal match while Simon was placed on the floor. Simon crawled over, he checked Sypher's pulse, he still frowned, but he looked to where Duck was and gestured for him to come over and quick to get his powers back.
Duck nodded and came over to the unconscious villain. "I'll take my powers back, thank you very much." He was then instantly charged back up with his powers and felt very refreshed.
Optimatus and Massive were fighting each other now.
Simon then crawled over to Zadavia and his mother.
"Simon, what are you doing here?" Cherry glanced down at him. "I told your father to keep an eye on you!"
Simon blinked at her and hugged her leg, he looked a little sad.
"I was worried about you too, but that's no excuse to sneak away from your father." Cherry scolded.
"You can scold him later, right now isn't the time." Zadavia said to Cherry.
"He still disobeyed..." Cherry muttered.
Massive had overpowered Optimatus and threw him against the wall. WeatherVane then helped by shocking him with her weather powers.
"CHARGE!" Akito called, he then decided to help Optimaus and blocked off WeatherVane's bolts and pushed her against Massive to take them both out.
Optimatus was surprised, but delighted with Akito's assistance. "Come, boy... Time to go home!" He then sent out his wrist to make an electrical charge and make a wormhole in the air so he could take over the world.
"I couldn't agree more, sir." Akito said. 'Not yet.' he then thought to himself.
The wormhole expanded as it was going to take Mastermind, WeatherVane, Massive, and Sypher with it so they could be banished to Acmetropolis right before Optimatus would destroy it for good.
"If this guy does that with those guys, wonder what he does with his enemies." Duck scoffed, then looked to see Zadavia and Cherry were still held captive.
The women turned over to Duck, a little surprised to see him, they did not know he was there. "Duck?"
Simon blinked at Duck and actually smiled. Optimatus laughed as things seemed to be going his way with Akito and Simon's 'help'. The Loonatics were now on their way, but they had to be very careful. Tech was leading the way. Duck smirked and teleported in front of Optimatus and Akito to surprise them.
'About time.' Akito thought to himself
Optimatus was not happy to see him.
"Aww, did ya miss me?" Duck taunted.
Optimatus snarled and tried to grab him, but Duck instantly teleported away. "Ultra Forces, get that pesky duck!"
"What are the ultra forces?" Akito asked.
"They are my robotic minions," Optimatus explained. "They will take anyone prisoner as long as I say."
"Ohh, so that's what those robots were." Akito said.
"They will give you what you want, but shall you ask for freedom..." Optimatus then shook his head.
Akito took note of that.
Duck laughed and moved as quickly as he could as the robots kept trying to shoot at him.
"I guess I underestimated that bird..." Cherry muttered, Duck was actually really clever with his teleportation.
"Yes, Duck seems to have surprised both of us." Zadavia admitted.
Optimatus had finally grabbed Duck however. "How could Zadavia put up with you!?"
"Well, for one thing, I'm very good at parties," Duck replied before teleporting out of his grip, then ended up on the other side of the room, mocking him. "Hey, Cyclops!"
Optimatus hit him and made Duck fly in the air and hit the wall.
"That's gotta hurt." Cherry said, wincing.
The droids surrounded Duck and were ready to exterminate him. However, before they could, Slam came just in time and made the droids knock over.
"Ta-Da!" Slam cheered for himself.
Optimatus attempted to zap him with Duck. But then, surprisingly, Akito was able to block his attack.
"What the...?" Optimatus didn't understand how that happened and looked back at Akito.
And saw that the boy was now protecting Duck and Slam.
"About time." Akito groaned to the Tasmanian devil.
"Sorry...?" Slam glanced to Akito, questioning him right now due to how rotten he had been lately.
"What are you doing, boy?!" Optimatus asked out of rage, confused why he was protecting them.
'Well, I might as well reveal my plan.' Akito thought to himself.
Optimatus snarled at him.
"Your time is up, Optimatus!" Akito then spoke, sounding rather vengeful.
"Excuse me?" Optimatus growled.
"You heard me, Optimatus, you see, I didn't really betray the Loonatics, my older brother, my twin sister, my cousin, and baby cousin, I was just acting like I did and where it was all a part of my plan." Akito explained.
"How could you come up with such a plan?" Optimatus retorted. "You're only a child. All you know is how to color inside the lines and avoid girls who have cooties!"
"You don't know me at all because I'm smarter than you thought." Akito retorted back.
Optimatus snarled at him. "You're going to wish you never turned on me, at least I still have your little cousin!"
Simon heard that, he then crawled to Akito and sat on his bottom, folding his arms in rebellion of Optimatus now as he sat by Akito's foot.
"Yeah, you're wrong again, Optimatus." Akito said before cracking his knuckles.
Optimatus snarled, he decided to use his powers against Simon and Akito. Simon quickly crawled away, still not yet able to walk, but he was a rather quick crawler.
Akito went with him to avoid the first impact. "We need a plan, Simon..."
Simon looked to him, he looked to Zadavia and Cherry while the other Loonatics were puzzled on what to do, but they were glad to see Akito was back on their side now. He then pointed to some of the Loonatics and himself, then did gestures and pointed to Akito and Optimatus, bashing his hands together to show fighting motions. Akito nodded, understanding of what Simon was telling him. Simon then pointed and the two went their separate ways to carry out their plan.
"What are those two up to?" Duck asked.
"Why don't you do something productive?" Cherry glanced at him.
"No problemo, hot stuff!" Duck smirked back at her. "I'll find a way to get you outta here lickedy split!"
"That's what worries me..." Cherry grumbled.
"You and me both, sister." Slam muttered in his language.
The droids were after Attiucs, Felicity, Estelle, and the Loonatics while Slam and Duck decided to help hold them off. Simon rolled over back to Zadavia and his mother, going to attempt to rescue them. Optimatus was going to face down Akito, not caring that he was going to be hurting a child.
"You can beat him, Akito!" Duck called out. "Besides he has only one eye like a cyclops!"
Akito dodged Optimatus's blows, but he tried to think of a weakness in the man so he could take him down easier.
"Need some help?" Atticus came to his younger son's side as some assistance.
Akito smiled to his dad, glad they were going to do something together for the first time in forever.
"What kept ya?" Akito smirked to his dad playfully even if this was a serious moment.
Atticus chuckled. "I'm taking a vacation as soon as this is over."
"If you ever get that far..." Optimatus grinned darkly at the father and son.
Simon was between the two women, finding out how to free them.
"Ugh!" Cherry recoiled in disgust. "When was the last time your diapers were changed, young man?"
Simon looked at her, then continued to work.
"I'm not so sure he will be able to save us," Zadavia spoke up. "He is not even a full year old and is still learning..."
Surprisingly enough, Simon freed them.
Cherry held Simon in her arms once they were free. "You were saying?"
"How... How could he do that?" Zadavia was surprised.
"I honestly don't know where he got it from..." Cherry said, lightly petting Simon on the head and he blankly looked up to her, but was glad she was okay.
They could see that Atticus and Akito were fighting Optimatus very well and were a great father and son team. The plans on conquest for the universe were going to change.
"Always so dramatic..." Zadavia shook her head at her brother.
"Wait, you mean this is him being dramatic?" Cherry asked, confused.
"You don't know the half of it." Zadavia nearly scoffed.
Optimatus grabbed Atticus and Akito, then threw them against one wall, leaving large cracks against it. The father and son were about to get up to finish him off.
"Let me take a hold of him for now," Zadavia told them. "He's my brother."
"He's all yours." Atticus and Akito said in unison.
Duck even came to Zadavia's side, of course, via teleportation. Optimatus snarled once he saw them and had zapped. However, Zadavia protected herself from the impact and it was now a fight between brother and sister.
"I hope we never fight like that." Estelle said to Akito and Vincent.
"We shouldn't." Akito reassured.
"I don't think so either." Vincent agreed.
Felicity carried Simon and looked to him, but to her surprise, he gave her a small smile that lasted about three seconds before his usual stoic frown.
"Aww, only three seconds?" Felicity whined towards her baby brother.
Simon gave a shrug.
"Oh, well..." Felicity hugged her baby brother anyway. "I will take what I can get."
"Felicity, your English is highly improving." Cherry was astounded.
"Oh, thank you, Maman..." Felicity smiled back to her mother. "We have to jetted!"
"Close enough..." Cherry shrugged at her turn of phrase just then.
Simon shrugged as well knowing that Felicity's english was only improved a little bit.
Zadavia and Optimatus circled each other, trying to bring each other down. It was a very huge struggle for them and it was the most powerful case of sibling rivalry.
Duck saw Ace and Tech. "It's about time!"
"Hey, guys." Akito waved at the male bunny and coyote members.
"You gotta hurry!" Duck sounded responsible for a change. "Optimatus's wormhole is about to send Acmetropolis into an inter-dimensional meat locker!"
Tech rushed to the controls to try and stop it to save their home.
"Uh, any ideas?" Ace asked.
"I may be smart, but I know zip about the wormhole technology." Tech frowned, he could not solve this one.
"What are we going to do?" Akito groaned.
Simon crawled over and tugged them.
"Not now, kid, we can't play, we gotta save the world." Ace said to him.
Akito picked up Simon and brought him over to the computer.
"Kid, you can't play with that!" Ace told him.
"He's not going to play, he's going to help us." Akito explained.
"But he's just a baby!" Tech replied.
"He's no ordinary baby." Atticus remarked.
Simon cracked his tiny knuckles and set to work on the universal code to save Acmetropolis.
"You can do it, Simon." Akito encouraged his baby cousin.
Robot droids came to stop them. Ace glared at them and decided to go at them to hold them off. Simon paused at some points, but he continued to work until he would be done.
"This droids just don't give up." Akito said.
The planet was inches away from being sucked up for good.
"Faster!" Zadavia urged the infant wise beyond his years.
Optimatus was overpowering his sister and grinned as he was about to defeat her.
"Almost there." Akito said.
"Seriously, what do you do with this child?" Tech asked Cherry about her parenting skills due to how advanced Simon was despite not being able to walk or talk yet.
Cherry shrugged. "Just anything a normal mother would do... I feed him, clothe him, bathe him, change him, read him War and Peace as a bedtime story..."
"Normal parents don't read their kids that or let their infant children smoke cigarettes." Estelle told her aunt.
"I give the boy wants what he wants..." Cherry shrugged and folded her arms, not even concerned about her parenting skilsl which would probably make Simon grow up to be a masochist or a serial killer.
Optimatus had shoved Zadavia down successfully.
"Seal this, brother!" Zadavia snarled, she zapped him with her eyes in return and shot blasts from her hands.
Optimatus then flew back farther than one would imagine.
"Wow, remind me not to get on her bad side." Atticus said, shocked.
"Awesome..." Cherry whispered, seeming excited of Zadavia's wrath.
"You go, girlfriend!" Lexi cheered.
Optimatus growled as he stood back up. "This battle ends here, Zadavia!"
"NO!" Zadavia snarled, her voice then suddenly echoing as she pushed him back, even stronger than before.
"Kid, time's up!" Ace called to Simon.
Simon took out a small device Tech gave him and engaged it as the planet was about to be destroyed. The wormhole then broke and the planet was placed back to where it belonged in the galaxy and the world was saved.
