After they left, Electro was placed in jail, Otto was frozen, Duck was defrosted, and they went back to the tower. Tech was really impressed with Jenny and she was a whole lot smarter than she looked, though, she seemed to shy away from sharing it with the others. While that was going on, Atticus and Mo were now with Cherry and Forte.
"So, you notice something strange happening too with Vincent?" Mo asked the other couple.
"Yes, I sensed dark and strange vibrations in him," Forte informed. "I was very concerned."
"We came as quickly as we could, this can't be trouble at home." Cherry spoke up.
"Well, what's happening to him?" Atticus asked.
"I'm afraid a dark force is taking over him, slowly, but surely," Forte explained. "Luckily for all of us, he isn't fully influenced just yet, but within time, Vincent will become a dastardly boy and he is being controlled by your love for him and this dark force."
"But what dark force is controlling him?" Atticus asked.
"Did you find out?" Cherry asked.
"One of Monique's greatest family rivals." Forte informed.
"Aunt Sarah?" Mo and Atticus asked.
"No, no," Forte hid a chuckle to that before getting serious again. "Worse... Far worse..."
"Captain Pollution?" Mo guessed with a worried look.
"I fear that he's the dark force and he's chosen Vincent to take under his wicked wing." Forte replied.
"We came to help stop it." Cherry explained.
"Well, the problem is he isn't at the house." Mo told them.
"I was sure that would happen..." Forte sighed.
They then looked up as the Loonatics were now flying back to the tower. And where it seemed as Vincent was somewhere in the future, but they couldn't seem to find him.
"Where is my baby!?" Mo wailed.
"We need to get his scent, we can't find him unless we smell his blood, that's how vampires track others down." Forte replied.
"He couldn't have gone too far..." Cherry narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Yeah." Atticus added.
"We better start looking..." Cherry glanced.
"I just want my baby back!" Mo started to cry like a hysterical mother.
"Don't worry, we will find him." Atticus assured his wife.
Mo sobbed miserably and hugged Atticus.
"Now, can't you worry about your children like that?" Forte asked his own wife.
Cherry glanced back lowly. "I've worried about my daughter for eight years that I never got to spend with her..."
"Oh, right, sorry." Forte apologized.
"It's fine..." Cherry looked away with her eyes shut, though often emotionless, she seemed rather sad from that fact.
While they were looking for Vincent, he was now in a secret location in the future, testing out his powers.
'You're really making me proud, little guy.' the dark voice told Vincent.
"Thank you, sir, so when can I summon you?" Vincent asked.
'You're almost there... You still have to wait, but just know, that I will be there very soon... Just keep a sharp eye out...' the dark voice told him.
"More waiting?" Vincent groaned with a pout.
'You really want to be as strong as your younger brother,' The dark voice said, finding that groan of frustration a sign of possible determination. 'Alright then, I'll let you have my powers even after I am summoned, we'll both have the same powers, at least until you turn back to good, which won't happen.'
"Yes..." Vincent grinned sickly. He then felt himself become stronger and felt the polluted powers flow with in him it was even shown as his muscles were then expanded.
'By the power of pollution!' the dark voice told him.
"Wow, I feel incredible!" Vincent smiled before flying up into the air and the breaking trees in half.
Vincent was becoming more and more powerful so he could get what he wanted. This was not going to end well for anybody.
'But you'll also need a suit to match me.' The dark voice said.
"Of course..." Vincent grinned eagerly.
'You have done very well...' the dark voice told Vincent. 'You made me really proud.'
"Thank you, Master." Vincent said.
While the dark voice was training Vincent in the way of evil, back with Cherry, Forte, Atticus, and Mo.
"Could this kill Vincent?" Mo asked.
"Non, it won't kill him, but it could be very dangerous," Forte warned. "He might even turn his back on his own family."
"Oh, dear..." Mo frowned.
"Is there any way to stop him from being turned completely evil?" Atticus asked.
Cherry looked to the man she had married.
"Nothing I can find yet, but so far, Vincent is possessed by jealousy of his younger brother." Forte informed.
"He wasn't jealous when Akito and Estelle were born, was he?" Cherry asked Atticus and Mo.
Atticus and Mo suddenly looked at each other.
Cherry tilted her head. "Was he...?" she repeated the last bit of her question.
"Well, I-I guess he was a little jealous." Atticus said.
"It's natural though..." Mo spoke up. "Babies tend to need more attention, so a kid can feel ignored..."
"Lady felt the same way when Junior was about to be born, even though she was a pet dog, she was like a daughter to James and Elizabeth," Cherry spoke up. "Though, Vincent seems better than that..."
"He is for the most part, but, we found out that Vincent didn't have god strength like Atticus does and that those genes passed own onto only Akito." Mo explained.
"He could be jealous from that, also, he was taken away from you from an early age, it probably made him angry when he found out he had a younger brother that was stronger than him." Forte seemed to conclude.
"That would make sense." Atticus said.
"It appears the possession is using Vincent's jealousy against Akito as a motive..." Forte dawned.
"It's not the Enchantress, is it?" Cherry asked.
"Non, thankfully, the Enchantress is not involved in this, it appears it's Captain Pollution and he's making Vincent into his own personal apprentice for evil." Forte explained.
"Oh, dear..." Mo said, covering her mouth.
"I'm very sorry..." Forte said to the couple.
Atticus held his wife. "Surely there's a cure."
"We'll just have to hope that the love from his friends and family will be able to get through to him." Forte said.
"Especially that Jenny girl..." Mo mumbled.
"Pardon?" Forte asked.
"Oh, Estelle has a pen pal from New York City," Mo explained. "Her name is Jennifer Foxworth... Vincent... Well... Kind of took a liking to her."
"She just might be what we need." Forte said.
"Let's see..." Cherry had mockery in her voice. "You're using a little girl to get what you want... Yeah... Sound freakin' FAMILIAR!?"
"Okay, okay, I get it, last time it didn't end well, but this time, it will work because we're not going to hypnotize her." Forte said.
"Or give her nightmares that nearly scar her for life..." Cherry grumbled.
"Were you serious about that?" Forte whispered.
"Of course I was serious!" Cherry raised her arms. "You were like a Stephen King villain! What were you THINKING!?"
Forte put his hand over her mouth. "Still, it seems Jennivere would be of use to this plan since Vincent is so fond of her."
"Well, then we better get to working on the plan." Atticus said.
"This better work..." Cherry muttered.
"It will, but just in case, you better go get the book." Forte whispered.
Cherry took out her bag and reached into it to get what they would need and took out her book. "Check."
"Okay, now open it up and look further into the future to see if the plan fails or not." Forte whispered.
"Whoa, spoilers!" Cherry gaped at him.
"Just look at it!" Forte forced her.
Cherry rolled her eyes, then flipped through the nearly endless pages of the book. "Can't we just wait for the movie?"
"Would you rather like to be hypnotized?" Forte threatened.
Cherry held the book close. "Charles, I have a heavy book in my hands..." she said with a murderous smirk.
"Okay, fine, I'll help you with the book." Forte groaned.
Cherry kept skimming. "Been there, read that, nothing new, skip ahead, skip ahead..." she mumbled to herself, then came to one page. "According to this, after the case of the hunter, Electro J. Fudd... Chapter 21: It Came From Outer Space."
"What came from outer space?" Mo asked.
"The book says it'll involve Marvin the Martian's descendant known as Melvin," Cherry explained. "Vincent's powers won't fully consume him until Chapter 24 when they face who's called the Music Villain and he'll try to talk Jenny into joining him."
"And he fails, right?" Forte asked.
Cherry flipped the next page. "Yes and no... He takes Jenny away from her home and holds her hostage... Captain Pollution tells him to and Jenny's very scared..."
"I feel so bad for that girl..." Mo sighed. "She gets lost in the big city to help save her new kitten, she gets kidnapped by a loan shark, she nearly dies in a subway chase and now this."
"We have to warn the kids about this." Atticus said.
"How can we though?" Mo asked.
"Time machine." Atticus said.
"Or a watch." Forte said.
"What?" Mo looked back.
Forte took out his pocket watch as it was ticking.
"What does that do?" Mo asked.
"It's his time travel device," Cherry explained. "Back when Felicity was growing up, it was his way of coming to me. Usually after dark, Frank would send me to my room and I would stay up there, staying up late or either trying to find a way to escape. Usually though, I would receive a visitor through my bedroom window."
"Let's try it." Atticus said.
"What year?" Forte asked, opening his watch, screwing at the top.
"What year do you think?" Cherry asked as if it was an obvious question.
"What year are the Loonatics about?" Forte asked her.
"2772, the year a meteor strikes the Earth and Acmetropolis is born." Cherry told him.
"Alright, when I say so, everybody join together." Forte told the others as he set his time travel watch.
"How did you even get such a watch, Maestro Forte?" Mo asked.
"My uncle made it for him." Cherry explained.
"Your uncle?" Mo asked, realizing despite being an adoptive member to Cherry's family, she knew very little about it.
"Emmett L. Brown," Cherry informed. "He was always interested in time travel. In 1955, he was hanging a clock in his bathroom, but he slipped off the end of his toilet since the porcelain was wet. He was then given a vision of what he calls the flux capacitor and he invented it the best in 1985 and it's what makes time travel possible. He made a DeLorean into a time machine with stolen plutonium."
"Nice." Atticus said.
"So, what does he do now then?" Mo asked.
"He went to his favorite time period, 1885 in the Wild West," Cherry explained. "He lives there now with a schoolteacher he fell in love with named Clara Clayton who was supposed to die in a ravine with their kids, Jules and Verne. Jules is basically a child version of Uncle Emmett, he's been solving equations ever since he could walk."
"Wow." Mo said.
"Ready to go?" Forte asked. "Come along now."
They all joined hands together, once they were all together, Forte pushed the top of his watch and they were all transported into the year 2772.
They ended up into Zadavia's private residence.
"We're here." Atticus said.
"Where though?" Mo asked.
"This is where Zadavia lives." Cherry replied.
The blonde alien woman walked over and spotted them in surprise. "What are you all doing here?"
"Zadavia, I know this is a lot to take in, but you have to listen," Cherry told her. "Vincent is going to the dark side and it's not getting pretty every day he's influenced by evil."
"It's true." Atticus said.
"What is the meaning of this?" Zadavia asked.
Forte began to tell Zadavia the entire situation that was going on.
Zadavia was fully focused and hung onto every word and grew worried for Vincent. "That sounds terrible... Please tell me you know how to stop it."
"We do, but we're worried that Vincent might hurt the Loonatics or do something very drastic..." Mo was terribly worried, being a mother and all.
"Don't worry, remember my plan." Forte said.
"Yes, Maestro..." Mo slowly shut her eyes and a tear drooped from her right eye.
Atticus held her in comfort and emotional support. Things were not looking too happy for them.
"I really hope your plan works..." Zadavia said to the family.
"I'm almost certain it will, Zadavia." Forte told the alien woman.
While that was all going on, Akito was now in Tech's lab, helping him out with something.
"So, what're you making today, huh?" Akito asked as he stood in anticipation.
"Well, I'm making an X-3000 Weapons System." Tech answered.
"Awesome!" Akito cheered, then looked back at the coyote. "Um... What does that do?"
"It can look like a video game here, but out in space, it can attack real things with real weapons like blasters and missiles." Tech told him.
"Awesome!" Akito cheered.
"Some of the real things are planets." Tech told him.
"Did they ever find life on Mars?" Akito asked. "That's the world's biggest question back home."
"Yes, actually there is." Tech said.
"Really?" Akito asked.
"Yes, I'm sure you've heard of martians." Tech said to him.
"I've heard of Marvin the Martian." Akito shrugged with a smirk.
"Exactly." Tech said.
'Marvin has to have a descendant around here somewhere...' Akito then thought once he realized what this world was like and the people he interacted with were related to the famed Looney Tunes of his parents' and aunt's childhoods.
While they were working on the weapons system, Rev sneaked into the lab. Akito and Tech focused, until a dash zipped behind them. When they looked to see what it was, there was nothing there. Rev came to a device that could grow something into several times its size and placed a seed in it. Once it was big enough for him, he put the seed between two slices of bread and was about to eagerly eat it, but he saw Tech and Akito had spotted him.
"Seed sandwich?" Rev asked innocently.
Akito folded his arms and shook his head at the roadrunner. "Tech's inventions are not toys, Rev!"
"As in my molecular reconstructor is a cutting edge scientific tool, not a fast food maker." Tech told the roadrunner.
Rev glanced at them and quickly ate his sandwich anyway.
"Look, we have to adjust the magnetic flux copassitors." Akito told Rev.
"So while we're gone, please keep your hands off my stuff." Tech added.
"Absolutely, positively, you can trust me." Rev vowed.
Akito and Tech looked to each other, but they then left the roadrunner alone. Rev then smirked and zipped to the keyboard to use it, but an alarm flashed with a security warning to block him. Rev just simply ignored it and began to type the keys on the keyboard with his beak. There was a countdown shown on the screen. Lexi was walking down the hallway with Estelle until they overheard Rev.
"New video game?" Lexi asked with a hopeful smile.
"Is it a three player game?" Estelle asked.
"Let's find out!" Lexi smiled.
The two then went in and played on the screens as Rev fiddled with the machines. They all laughed and had fun as they played the video game, or at least, they thought it was a video game.
"Me and Lexi are on fire, metaphorically speaking." Estelle giggled while playing the so-called video game.
"Hey, no fair, you got the proton missiles!" Rev groaned. "How am I supposed to play?"
"Watch this, Estelle, I call this move the 'Bunny Hop'." Lexi said before she jumbled up the images on the screen as they played on the triplet screens.
Estelle began to mimic the female rabbit's moves and where the two of them had won.
"Hey, when it comes to video games, these girls have got the mojo." Lexi smiled proudly.
"Girl power all the way!" Estelle giggled.
The two of them continued to play until they had attacked a sphere that looked like a planet. Tech and Akito came back into the room.
"Girls, what have you done!?" Tech panicked.
"I know one thing: High Score!" Estelle cheered.
"That's no video game, that's Tech's X-3000 Weapons System!" Akito told them.
"Whoa..." Estelle's eyes widened. "So, um, was that a real target and missile?"
"I wouldn't worry," Rev shrugged nervously. "There are plenty of inhabitable asteroids and planets out there, couldn't hit someone, let alone live in it, huh?"
"You're right, that planet must have been Pluto." Tech said.
"Pluto's still a planet?" Akito asked.
Estelle shrugged, but they said nothing else.
"You let them in..." Akito glanced to Rev in blame.
"First, yes and second, no, Pluto is not a planet anymore." Rev said at his usual fast speed.
"That's what I thought..." Akito folded his arms.
"Well, at least nothing bad happened." Rev said.
"For right now." Lexi shrugged.
"Yeah." Estelle nodded.
