"Wahoo!" Jenny cheered as they flew off into space.
The others chuckled to her as they flew off.
"Naturally, I'll be the pilot," Ace reported. "Slam will be in charge of the engines and the kitchen."
Slam drooled instantly and grinned eagerly for that assignment in the kitchen.
"Calm down..." Patch told him maturely.
"Um, maybe you better go with him to make sure that Slam doesn't eat anything." Ace told the Dalmatian.
"Might as well..." Patch rolled his eyes with a sigh.
"Duck, Akito, you guys watch Tweetums." Ace told the duck and the twin boy as he walked off with the others.
Duck felt unfortunate about that.
"Oh, boy, oh, boy!" Tweetums cheered as he overheard that. "You're the unwucky ones!"
"Like I said, how much trouble can a little canary do?" Akito asked. "Anyways, we'll be glad to watch over Tweetums, Ace."
"I don't think you will have any problems." Felicity agreed.
"Well, you can watch him," Duck glanced to Akito. "I'm a highly trained warrior, a lean, mean, fighting machine, not a babysitter!"
"I'm not a baby," Tweetums scoffed. "I'm twee and a few pod eggs owd!" he then reminded his fellow bird.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard ya the first time, Nugget." Duck scoffed.
"Duck, we are both going to watch him, not the other way around!" Akito glared at the duck team member.
Tweetums folded his arms at them, but said nothing.
"Now let's see of what we have to do first." Akito said.
"I'm takin' control." Ace went to pilot the ship.
"Yes, sir." Akito said.
Ace ruffled up his hair before going to the controls. The kids and Dalmatian looked out the window to get a closer look out traveling to infinity and beyond.
"This must be what it's like to be Buzz Lightyear." Jenny commented.
"Yeah." Estelle nodded.
"Tech, just checking the coordinates for this sucker." Ace logged in.
"All ya gotta do is enjoy the ride," Tech said as he stood with Lexi, Rev, Simon, and Vincent. "Simon's got a high charged energy shield up for ya when you go down to headquarters. That'll keep you and your ship completely safe."
Simon gave his stoic face, but gave a thumb's up to Ace in agreement.
"Yeah, Simon is quite an amazing baby." Vincent said.
Rev did a quick reading on the ship to tell them about it, which of course, annoyed Tech and Simon.
Ace even yawned and hung up on the roadrunner. He then decided to check in on Patch and Slam. "Hey, guys, what's cookin' in the kitchen?" he asked the Dalmatian and Tasmanian devil.
"Um, about that, um, well it should seem that Slam was more of a challenge then I thought." Patch said nervously.
Ace took a look and saw that Slam was nearly eating everything in sight in the fridge.
"I suggest we order take-out..." Patch rolled his eyes, shaking his head at the devil.
"Um, I'll get back to you two." Ace said.
Patch sighed as he stormed over to Slam, glaring at him. Slam smiled nervously and apologetically.
Ace then decided to contact Queen Grannicus and Princess Ixta. "Your Majesties, we're on our way and should be there in about seven and a half hours," he reported. "You got solar on us out there or anything?"
"Oh, how very nice," Queen Grannicus smiled in delight. "Have a safe trip and be sure to take care of our precious Tweetums."
"Yes, please do." Princess Ixta smiled.
"Ah, don't lose any gray hairs over it," Ace smiled to them. "Tweetums couldn't be in better hands."
And where Ace was right about that.
Duck and Akito weren't enjoying it as much as it was thought to be. They were helping Tweetums with his bath.
"Well, this is a moment I will want to forget for the rest of the life." Akito groaned while they were giving the little yellow canary a bath.
"And you said this wouldn't be so bad..." Duck mumbled to Akito.
"Well, I was wrong and besides, be grateful that this isn't something that will give us nightmares possibly for the rest of our lives," Akito told him. "Besides it can't get even more worse then this."
Tweetums started to sing himself a little bath time song.
"THAT DOES IT!" Duck snapped. "Bath time's over!"
"I'm sorry, Tweetums, but I have to agree with him, bath time is done," Akito said. "So get out of the bath tub and get yourself dried off and then get dressed."
"Aww..." Tweetums came out in his towel, still a little wet. "And you wewe doin' such a vewy good job. Even if ya missed a spot..." he then shook his tail feathers at them.
"How in the world did we miss that spot?! I mean seriously, how?!" Akito asked exclaimed before he started to calm himself down. "Listen, just get dry off and get dressed, okay?"
Duck growled, flicking Tweetums back into his tub. "There, happy!?"
"I think I'll cewebwate by singing my home's national anthem," Tweetums said to them. "Would you sing with me?"
"Forget it!" Duck and Akito folded their arms at him. "We dont' do trios!" They then looked to each other oddly since they had agreed on something.
"Oh, you shouldn't feel bad just because you have bad voices..." Tweetums shook his head. "Tuwn please..."
"Why you little brat!" Akito glared at the yellow canary before trying to calm down.
"For your information, I happen to have a great voice," Duck growled. "I just don't wanna sing your stupid song."
"Singing is gowgeous whewe I come fwom," Tweetums said as he wiped his backside with his towel. "You can eithah sing or go back home."
"If go home means go to your home planet and take the throne, then I suggest that then sing your song, I mean, come on!" Akito groaned.
"I'll make you both sing!" Tweetums threw his towel at them.
Duck growled even more, glaring at the canary. "You're despicable!"
Tweetums smirked and batted his thick eyelashes to them.
"Fine, let's just get this over with," Akito groaned. "Alright, so what are the lyrics to the song?"
"You made a wise decision, Mr. Duck and Fudo." Tweetums smiled proudly.
Duck and Akito glared to him, then looked rather miserable to go through this.
"And a one, and a two..." Tweetums started before he began his national anthem for them.
'This can not be happening to us.' Akito thought to himself with a groan.
After the wretched song, Tweetums then left to get dressed. Duck and Akito were then sitting on a couch, Duck was reading a magazine while Akito did some sit-ups to fill his time. Tweetums got dressed in his royal robes and started to pace back and forth.
"Tweetums, you finished getting dressed yet?" Akito asked while doing his sit-ups.
"Yep..." Tweetums walked out, then looked very bored. "Hey, when are you guys gonna show me awound the ship?"
"In a little while, I have to make sure I don't slack off with my exercise along with not letting myself get dumb." Akito said while doing his sit-ups while reading a book.
"Oh, pwease, Mr. Duck and Mr. Fudo!" Tweetums insisted. "One widdle tour and I won't make you cut my teeny toenails!"
"Forget it, Mustard Seed!" Duck shoved him away.
"Well, maybe one little tour wouldn't hurt," Akito said. "Just wait for me to be finished with my sit-ups and reading this book."
"Oh, look at all these buttons, bye-bye!" Tweetums sounded distant then.
Duck and Akito looked to see that the canary had vanished then. Duck got nervous and frantic, starting to look around the room for Tweetums.
"Oh, no! If Ace finds out we lost Tweetums, then we're dead! We have to find him now!" Akito told the duck.
As if on cue, Ace showed up on the screen. 'What's up, guys?' he greeted. "Just checkin' in to see how things are goin'."
"Oh, things couldn't be better," Duck smiled nervously. "Why wouldn't they be? You don't think we can't take of a pint-sized yellow bird?"
"Yeah, I mean, come on, Ace, have some faith in us," Akito smiled nervously as well. "Everything is just fine."
"Just remember that the whole universe would be put in jeopardy if anything were to happen to the Royal Highness." Ace reminded them before signing off.
"Why did he have to tell us that?" Akito groaned slightly.
"Royal Pain in the Butt's more like it..." Duck scoffed. "That little fuzzball's gotta be around here somewhere!"
"Wait, what if he's out of the room taking his own personal tour of the whole entire space ship?" Akito asked nervously.
"Come on, we can't lose him!" Duck urged.
They left the room as the Royal Tweetums was exploring in other rooms. Duck and Akito gasped as Tweetums ended up in a dangerous high voltage room.
"Well, go on in, Akito." Duck told the boy.
"M-Me?" Akito asked nervously. "Why not you?"
"Because I'd prefer if roast duck wasn't on the menu tonight." Duck shuddered.
"Alright, fine, I'll go in there, but you're coming with me." Akito said before dragging the duck team member with him inside the dangerous room.
"What!?" Duck yelped.
"If I'm going in this room to look for him, you're coming with me!" Akito glared.
"Fine, but you owe me!" Duck snapped back. He then found the light switch and turned it on as it looked very ominous and red in the room now. "Oh, great, this is just where a bird should go..."
"I wonder what's up here?" Tweetums was heard as he walked up the stairs to an electrical device.
"Quick, after him!" Akito said before going after the yellow canary.
Duck was nervous to be in this room, but he tried to look big and tough as he ran with Akito to stop the Royal Tweetums.
"Tweetums, come with us, this room is dangerous." Akito told the yellow canary.
Tweetums kept exploring.
"When we get our hands on you, I swear!" Duck chased after the canary.
"Oh, good, some fwends to pway with!" Tweetums jumped up and down in delight and went through the machine wires.
"This canary is much more trouble then I thought." Akito groaned.
Tweetums crawled around and swung around the wires like jungle vines. Duck and Akito crawled after him, very irritated with the canary's antics.
Duck grabbed onto a heat lamp. "Gotcha!"
"Whatcha got there, Mr. Duck?" Tweetums mocked. "A pwesent for me?"
"Wait, if you don't have him, then what did you just grab?" Akito asked the duck.
Duck looked up and saw what he had grabbed. There was a ray in the room that was heating and electrifying up.
"Whatever you do, don't touch the red button!" Duck told the canary as he got out of their way.
"I'm a very curious birdie and when you're told not to touch something, there's only one thing left to do..." Tweetums stretched his hand out over the big red button and pushed against it, zapping Duck and Akito instantly.
Luckily for Akito, he wasn't burned to a crisp and just felt like that blast only tickled. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Duck, who was nearly burned alive.
"You oughta be more careful, guys," Tweetums smirked to his new caregivers. "So, what game shall we play now?"
Duck and Akito merely glared at him with low growls.
"Oh, we're going to play a special game." Duck said.
"Duck, maybe we should play a game with him, that way he can stop with torturing." Akito said, being serious.
"I know just the right game..." Duck snarled.
They went back into the main room and Duck had locked Tweetums in his chamber.
"I don't think I wike this game." Tweetums frowned.
"Tough turkey, we're playing it and you're not getting out, and just to make sure..." Duck snapped, he then took out a heavy chain with a combination lock on it to extreme measures.
"Duck, this is unfair to him, we are suppose to be his caregivers AKA babysitters, not police officers keeping him locked up." Akito glared at the duck team member before letting Tweetums out and along him to walk on his hand.
"Oh, brother!" Duck folded his arms.
Tweetums smirked, he had grown fond of Akito, but still felt very sneaky about his new caregivers.
Meanwhile on the ship...
Simon was drinking through his bottle as he was in his stroller, but was reading the sonar scans and pointed to them to show enemy ships coming in.
"Looks like we got company." Lexi noticed.
"Yeah, sure looks that way." Vincent said.
"But how could they get through!?" Tech panicked. "Nobody knows the inscription except me and the twins!"
Rev went on a possible suggestion about someone being smarter than the coyote.
"Smarter than me!?" Tech laughed.
Tech and Rev then had one of their debates, but Simon pulled them down and put his hands over their muzzle and beak to shut them up and pointed for them to return to their stations.
"Yes, sir!" Tech and Rev saluted before feeling weird taking orders from a baby.
Simon then continued to nosh on his baby bottle.
"That little guy can be so surprising sometimes." Rev said.
"You got that right, sometimes he can act older than his age and then go back to acting to his original age." Vincent agreed.
Simon put his bottle away, he then patted himself on the back to let out a burp and he yawned and leaned back in his stroller, slowly shutting his eyes.
Felicity zipped up Simon's diaper bag. "I just want to know who's been messing with us!"
Lexi was trying to contact Ace, but couldn't get any signal. "I can't get through..."
"Oh, no!" Jenny got worried.
"How come we can't get a signal?!" Estelle asked.
"There must be some field generator on the enemy ship line." Tech assumed.
"A field generator?" Vincent asked.
"See, maybe this guy IS smarter than you." Rev replied.
Tech narrowed his eyes at the roadrunner then. The enemy ship then fired bombs toward them.
"Incoming!" Vincent called out.
One bomb shot at their ship, they were unable to miss it and the ship shook.
"Sacre bleu!" Felicity cried out of fear.
Duck yelled as he flung back and crashed against Tweetums's chamber.
"You did that on purpose!" Tweetums growled at him.
"No, he didn't, it was because the ship shook, we must be under attack." Akito said.
"Activate reflector shields!" Estelle called so they could avoid another bomb.
"Please work, please work, please work." Jenny prayed.
Another bomb had hit them.
"The shields are down!" Patch cried.
"What's goin' on with the weapons!?" Ace tried to find out the problem.
"Well, whatever the problem is, I hope it can be fixed soon." Patch said.
"Time to fight fire with fire, Ace!" Jenny grew determined. "Get your laser helmet on!"
"Won't fighting with fire burn the galaxy down?" Felicity scratched her head.
"No, Felicity," Jenny turned to her. "That just means we have to get even and fight back."
"Oh..." Felicity understood now. "Sorry... My English is not very good."
"That's alright, you're still learning." Estelle assured her.
"Thanks, Estelle..." Felicity smiled to her.
The ship luckily made a swift turn and missed the next blast from the enemy ship that then backfired. Simon shook his fist at the enemy ship. Take that!
"Take that, you jerk!" Vincent glared at the screen, showing their enemy.
The enemy was revealed to be a very strong and muscular black cat with white accents with a big red nose.
Meanwhile, Akito and Duck got up and saw that Tweetums was wandering off again to see the big space battle up close.
"Oh, no!" Akito gasped.
Duck and Akito rushed out.
"I swear, that punk's getting on my last nerve!" Duck snapped.
"We have to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble or get into any danger." Akito said.
Duck looked around and found the brat in a garbage chute transported.
"Bye-Bye, Mr. Duck and Mr. Fudo!" Tweetums waved to them as the door shut.
"NO!" Duck and Akito cried.
There was then buzzes heard and the garbage chute cleared out the ship.
"Oh, no! He was shot out the garbage chute!" Akito cried out. "Quick, Duck, you go out there and find him and bring him back inside while I stall the others so then they don't notice that Tweetums is gone!"
"You wait here." Duck told him before teleporting out into outer space.
The enemy cat smirked once he found Duck and decided to abduct him.
"Okay, Tweetums, I know that you're in the ship somewhere, so come on out!" Akito called out.
Tweetums had not ended up in the garbage that was now in the deep vacuums of space, he was in a different section.
"There you are, you little troublemaker!" Akito picked him up. "Look at what you've done now!"
"I know, and I'm sorry," Tweetums sounded trustworthy now. "As heir to the royal throne, I must save my planet by saving my new best friend!" he then proclaimed.
"You mean one of your new best friends." Akito said with a smile.
"Precisely." Tweetums smiled then. "We have to get him back from Sylth Vester!"
"That's the name of our enemy? Sounds like the descendant of Sylvester..." Akito said. "Anyways, let's go and save Duck."
"We have to, luckily, I know what to do, just listen to me and all will be under control." Tweetums promised and was sincere this time.
"Okay, tell me." Akito said, listening to Tweetums.
"I'll need some battle armor and a space scooter." Tweetums told him.
Akito took Tweetums to his royal carriage and allowed him out. Little did they know, that there was a familiar princess out the window in her own spacesuit and was secretly watching them.
"Too bad I don't have my spacesuit with me, let's just hope that my lungs have gotten strong as Superman's." Akito hoped.
"Good luck with that..." Tweetums sounded worried for him.
"Go get changed, we better hurry before Duck gets seriously hurt." Akito urged him.
Tweetums nodded and went inside the carrier. Akito smiled, he felt someone watching him and turned his head to the window, but when he looked, no one was there, so he shrugged and continued to wait for the royal canary. The princess then returned, secretly watching and it was Princess Ixta.
