The twins were in their uniforms and ended up in the middle of the Acmetropolis streets in what appeared to be a happy and sunny day.

"Looks like a peaceful day." Akito said.

"GO AHEAD AND HIGH TAIL IT OUTTA HERE!" a rough Western voice called.

"Huh?" the twins turned.


There was a man with a fuzzy orange mustache in battle armor trying to take down Ace. Akito teleported him to Ace to help the male rabbit team member with the man.

"Akito, you're here!" Ace was surprised and relieved.

"What's the lowdown?" Akito asked urgently.

"This wise guy thinks he can knock me down!" Ace informed.

"Well then, let's see if he can take us both." Akito said before taking out his sword.

Ace took out his own and he and Akito charged for the bad guy. "Take this, Ophiuchus Sam!"

"Seriously? That's his name? Must be the ancestor of Yosemite Sam." Akito groaned.

"Descendant." Estelle corrected.

"What?" Akito looked back to her.

"This is the distant future, Yosemite Sam would be his ancestor and this Sam would be a descendant," Estelle explained. "You know, like those kids of those princesses and villains our parents and aunt knew?"

"Oh, right, anyways, let's get this guy, Ace." Akito said.

"BREAK!" Ace ran with his sword.

Akito yelled out and ran with his own sword. Ophiuchus Sam laughed at them and tried to fight against them.

"You can do it, guys!" Estelle cheered. "You can beat him!"


"Ace, in here!" a voice called after they were blown back.

Ace turned and saw the familiar man and rushed over to him. Akito looekd curious and confused, but he followed. The man let them in so they could all take down Sam together.

"Ace, where are we going?" Akito asked, not knowing where the male rabbit was leading him to.

"Gettin' some help." Ace said to him.

The red-haired man smiled to him. "Hey, kid, I'm Deuce."

Akito smiled back and briefly shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you, Deuce, but how do you and Ace know each other?" he then asked.

"We'll tell ya a little later..." Ace said as he too kout his sword.

Sam started to shoot his laser gun at them, but Ace blocked the shots with his blade.

"This feels like one of those cowboy movies only we're in the future." Akito giggled a little.

"Yeah, I guess it does feel that way, little dude." Deuce said.

Sam lowered his robot horse and kept trying to shoot Ace and Akito, but kept missing due to how swift and talnted they are. "No fair, you no good varmints!"

"This coming from a short man with a mustache." Akito retorted.

Deuce helped them the best that he could and where it helped them better than ever before. They made it look like they got away at one point as the train was going through the wormhole it came out from. Sam celebrated victory, but smacked his back against a tower and fell on his speeding robot horse.


Deuce then rode them both down back to Acmetropolis Park.

"Thanks for the assist, Deuce!" Ace thanked.

"We make a pretty good team." Deuce smirked back to him.

"Yeah, we sure do." Akito smiled.

"Ace..." Lexi walked over. "Did you hear about the runaway train at the park today?"

"Hear of it?" Ace rubbed his backside. "I got bruises in places to show I don't like to show!"

Lexi smiled once she saw Akito and Estelle, but then frowned. "Hey, where's your brother?"

"Having a moment alone with his girlfriend." Akito said.

"Oh, he's got a girlfriend does he?" Lexi smirked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Akito has one too," Estelle giggled. "She lives in Pallet Town."

"Getting off topic." Akito said after he blushed.

Estelle giggled.

"Ya really saved our tails back there." Ace said to Deuce.

"Oh, I guess you could say I'm always at the wrong place at the right time." Deuce smiled.

"Sounds like you and Ace got a lot in common." Lexi smirked, folding her arms.

"Yeah." Estelle added in.

"So, who's your boyfriend, Estelle?" Lexi asked, still smirking.

"Um, I-I don't have one." Estelle said, looking down, very sad.

"Ah, don't worry, you will someday..." Lexi ruffled up her short hair gently.

Zadavia came, but due to being busy, she came through the fountain and not in person like she used to. "Loonatics..." she greeted the same as always.

"Hey, Zadavia." The twins greeted.

Zadavia looked to the twins in slight surprise. "Akito, Estelle, you've returned."

"Yep, as soon as our futuristic bracelets began to blink red, we knew that there had to be a mission." Akito said.

"Where is Vincent?" Zadavia couldn't help but ask.

"He had to stay home for personal reasons..." Estelle reported.

"And where is Felicity?" Zadavia asked.

Akito and Estelle noticed their cousin wasn't there. Where was she?

"Um, we don't know..." Akito shrugged honestly. "Sorry..."

"I'm sure she'll be here eventually." Estelle suggested.

"Yeah, she'll probably be here sometime." Lexi said.

"Ah, very well." Zadavia replied.

"Zadavia, I want ya to meet my new pal-" Ace was about to introduce.

"Deuce." Zadavia already knew this human.

"You guys know each other?" Akito asked the alien woman.

"How do you two know each other?" Estelle asked.

"Let's just say that Deuce and I have had our differences in the past." Zadavia replied.

"She's right," Deuce confirmed, then looked back. "Look, I know I've made some mistakes, I'm only here to ask for forgiveness and a chance to start over."

"Then you made a choice for no reason." Zadavia's tone sounded cold.

Deuce frowned then, feeling he wasn't needed and decided to get going then. "Perhaps I should leave."

"Not perhaps, definitely." Zadavia told him.

"Zadavia, that's mean, just give him a chance." Estelle said to the alien woman.

"No, no, she's right, I should just go." Deuce said, then went on his air motor bike and took off as soon as he got strapped in with his helmet and zoomed away out of Acmetropolis Park.

Ace looked sad to have lost his new friend. They all then went to the Tower, with still no Felicity.


Meanwhile...

"Not going!" Cherry argued.

"He's going!" Forte argued with his wife.

"Not!"

"Going!"

"NOT!"

Felicity came between her parents. "Can I be going now?" she sighed. "They are waiting for moi!"

"One moment, Felicity," Forte said before glaring at his wife. "He's going!"

"NOT!" Cherry argued.

"What are you arguing about now?" Felicity frowned.

"I'm sorry, Flick, but your father thinks it would be good for you and your brother to bond by taking him with you on your Loonatics missions from now on." Cherry folded her arms.

"Why not?" Forte asked her.

"He's only a baby!" Cherry snapped and pointed to Simon as he was building with blocks, seeming to be making a utopia and had a toy cannon to destroy it. "Just look at him!"

"Well, don't you remember the missions that he has been on with Felicity?" Forte asked.

"Yes, but he's a baby..." Cherry folded his arms, then looked down to their daughter. "Do you think you're responsible enough to look after your baby brother?"

"Oui, Maman, I am liking him a lot more now than before you had him!" Felicity piped up. "I will never wish him away ever again!"

Forte smiled to that, remembering what happened when Felicity actually did that and it nearly cost her her own life.

"Well... Okay..." Cherry finally agreed. "Let me just pack up his things real quick and you can take him with you."

Felicity cheered and hugged Simon. "We are going on adventures together, petit frère!"

"This is great, this way, they can bond more." Forte said.

"Terrific..." Cherry deadpanned as she packed up a diaper bag as quickly as she could.

Simon had an emotionless look that could only rival his mother's.

Felicity grunted a little, but picked him up. "Ooh, you are getting bigger..."

Simon just shrugged, not seeing what the difference was from everyday of his life.

Cherry packed up the bag and zipped it up, giving it to Felicity. "You're in charge..." she said. "Be very careful and you won't get seriously hurt."

"Do not worry, Maman, Simon is smarter than he appears to be." Felicity promised.

"I was talking to you..." Cherry folded her arms.

Felicity blinked, then left with Simon. "Arrievous!"

"Oh, come on, not again!" Forte complained.

The portal closed up after they left.

"I'm going to work..." Cherry took out a make-up kit.

"Which one?" Forte scoffed a little.

"Funeral Home..." Cherry walked off with her make-up kit.

"Erm... Could I come with you?" Forte walked with her rather quickly. "No one else is here..."

"Sure," Cherry glanced up at him. "If you don't mind dead bodies."

"I will take anything from being bored." Forte said.

"Fine..." Cherry shrugged and walked with him with her make-up kit.

Forte followed, got her coat for her and shut the door behind them.

"Can't wait to see your work..." Forte said.

"Even more terrific..." Cherry muttered.
