Athena walked the girls and one boy through what looked like a cavern as they passed more and more tall, Amazonian like women.
"This place is amazing." Akito smiled.
"Much appreciated." Athena replied.
The human kids and bunny female looked around and saw various women catering to their activities.
A root seemed to come alive and be watering several crops of tropical and intergalactic plants.
"Mm," Lexi smiled as she sniffed the air. "What smells so good?"
"It's a very special nectar of ours," Athena informed before putting a flower in her golden blonde locks and held a cup. "Have some." The Queen of Apocalypso then gave the same flower to the rest of the girls and Akito before giving each of them a cup.
"Ah, delicious..." Lexi smiled after she took her sample, which seemed to make her flower bloom in her hair. "Hey!"
"How did that happen?" Jenny asked the queen as the same happened to her and everyone else's flowers.
"It's the source of our spiritual energy that bonds us," Athena explained. "It makes us one with all. The nectar can help tact you into powers you don't know you have."
"Uh, would anything happen to me?" Jenny asked. "I mean... I don't think I have any powers..."
"You might." Athena said. The queen then sipped her own drink and she made a golden blast from her hand which made vines scrawl over toward them and they emerged together to make a precious and flashy blue flower with spread out petals in a beautifully delicate fashion and they glowed a very bright and shiny pink.
"Whoa!" the others were miraculously impressed.
The vines then split apart and they moved away.
"How did you do that?" Lexi asked.
"Uh, do you happen to know a Captain Planet?" Akito asked, curiously.
"As a matter of fact, I do, my people have known Captain Planet for years," Athena said. "What, do you know him as well?"
"He happens to be a relation of our mother's." Estelle explained.
"That would explain how you both would have the kindness the same he had in your eyes." Athena smiled.
Akito and Estelle smiled bashfully.
"Mom says we take a lot after Dad though, but yeah," Akito rubbed his arm. "We heard one story of how our parents first met and that Mom was adopted, but in her blood family, Captain Planet links with her."
"Getting off track, why don't you all try it now?" Athena asked.
"I'll go first." Lexi decided, she then shut her eyes and held up her hand which made it glow bright pink and the vines swarmed over and curled up.
"Cool!" The girls and Akito smiled before doing the same thing as vines began to do the same thing to them. The vines towered them up and bounced them, which made them laugh in fun and amusement.
"I've never seen them respond to someone so... So fast!" Athena sounded impressed.
"I've always had a green thumb." Lexi shrugged.
"Same here." Akito and Estelle added.
"Can't wait to show Vincent and the others." Jenny stroked one of the vines with a comforting smile she usually gave Oliver or Georgette.
"Yeah, they're going to be so impressed." Estelle smiled.
"Don't worry about Vincent and those other boys," Athena replied. "We're taking care of the men."
"When you are saying 'taking care'..." Felicity looked wary.
"Don't worry, they're perfectly safe." Athena assured her.
"Okay, because my mother says she is going to take care of a client and comes home with her fangs out..." Felicity replied.
"I don't even want to know what that means." Athena said.
Meanwhile with the guys...
"We hope you enjoy it..." one woman said as they piled on food on what looked like school cafeteria tables with an abundance of food everywhere for the visiting males. "The Feast of the Apocalysonians."
"Oh, yeah!" Duck chuckled eagerly and hungrily once he looked at the exotic foods. "Eats! Now that's more like it!"
"You can say that again." Vincent said, looking hungry as well.
Slam lifted up the table and moved the food to his mouth as he gobbled it all down.
"Ya know, I wasn't really that hungry..." Vincent sneered then.
Slam held the complimentary flower that came with the meal and licked his lips as he ate all the food, but the flower seemed to open up and poof a dust over him. The Tasmanian devil enjoyed his food, but the poof seemed to make him look rather sluggish and he fell right in the middle of the ground. That was okay though, unlike previous times, the women made another banquet table for their visiting males.
"What's with the flower?" Vincent asked.
Duck rushed over, about to take another plate of food.
Ace rushed over and took it, cautiously. "Uh, thanks, ladies!"
"Hey!" Duck glared at the male bunny.
"Yeah, but no thank you." Patch said.
"Same here." Vincent said.
"I'm starving!" Duck whined to Ace. "I'm all feather and bones!"
"Have you ever seen Slam turn down a meal for a snooze?" Ace whispered.
Duck drooled at the food, but looked to Slam as he was snoring and completely asleep. The women walked over.
"Now, if you ladies would excuse me, I think I need to use the little rabbit's room," Ace chuckled nervously. "Guys?"
"Ugh, what?" Duck glared. "I don't gotta go! You can take the kids and pooch if you want."
"We'd hate to go without you." Patch said.
"Yeah, so come on before I have to drag you." Vincent said.
Duck groaned and walked with them.
"There's somethin' weird goin' on," Ace whispered. "I think we oughta look around. We'll come back for Slam later."
"Agreed." Patch whispered.
The boys kept traveling along until they were out of sight from the native women.
"I think we lost them." Vincent said.
"About time too, now we can-" Duck said before running into something and fell flat on the ground. "Ow..."
"What's that?" Ace looked up in curiousity.
"If it's round and moving around, it's probably my head..." Duck rubbed his head in agony.
"It's one of those construction bots," Patch said. "Right, Ace?"
"Yeah, it must be from Utopia Acres..." Ace remarked.
"Um, guys, take a look at this," Vincent said after looking past the construction bot.
"Wonder what happened to the crew?" Patch thought out loud.
Something hideous and monstrous was coming behind the visiting group, looking like a vicious man-eating blossom.
"Man-Eating Plant!" Patch cried. "It's Little Shop of Horrors all over again!"
"You've been there before?" Ace asked.
"Um... Well..." Patch muttered.
"Funny," Duck got nervous as the plants were coming for them. "I thought you were supposed to eat your vegetables, not the other way around!"
"I'll handle these plants." Vincent said.
One plant reached out and grabbed Duck.
"I got this, guys..." Vincent smirked as he narrowed his eyes in determination.
"Well, could ya hurry it up?" Duck asked. "I don't remember plant life being this clingy before!"
"Deforestation!" Vincent called out.
The plants screamed and hissed at him.
"I don't think so." Vincent smirked once he activated one ring's power to take out the plants.
The plants grew very weak and were starting to decay slightly.
"Now leave and never return and that goes for all of you!" Vincent glared at the plants.
The plants seemed to whimper and whine like kicked dogs and scattered away.
"Nice work, kid," Ace praised to Vincent. "Guess it's a good thing you got those rings to help you against forces of nature, huh?"
"You have no idea." Vincent smirked.
The plants started to come back.
"You want a piece of me?" Vincent threatened as he still wore the rings which were actually used for evil, unbeknownst to everybody else in the Loonatics of course.
The plants backed off then, the same way a weaker villain would do if facing Akito or Atticus.
"That's what I thought..." Vincent chuckled darkly.
"What do we do now?" Duck asked.
"We gotta find a way outta here or somethin'." Ace said.
"What about Akito and the girls?" Patch asked.
"Let's just find the ship and find a way off this island, I got a bad feelin' about this place." Ace replied.
"No way, we're not leaving them behind." Patch said.
However, there were sharp quills being shot at them from somewhere, but could not be shown from where, perhaps another plant.
Luckily the guys were able to dodge them, at least, so far. They ran into the jet and put the windows up for protection.
"Phew!" Ace wiped his forehead. "That was a close call."
"Speak for yourself." Duck muttered as he looked to his behind in worry as there were spiked balls attached to him, painfully. "Well, don't just stand there, one of you get the tweezers! Owch!"
"I think it's a good look for you." Vincent smirked.
Duck yelped out once he got a very sore pinch.
