Atticus, Mo, Cherry, Forte, Captain Planet, and Zadavia camped out as it was getting late into their journey.
"I have a bad sense..." Mo held her stomach.
The others looked to her, curiously.
"Is it your son?" Captain Planet asked.
"I'm afraid Vincent's been corrupted..." Mo frowned deeply.
"Same here." Atticus said.
"I'm sorry, guys..." Cherry frowned to her friends as she turned her head and shut her eyes, feeling ill, but not like they did since Vincent was their son.
"Hey, we can fix this..." Atticus told her. "We always fix things that are broken... We've done it ever since Cinderella... Remember?"
"Oh, Atticus, we were just kids..." Cherry groaned. "It's time to grow up..."
"No, Atticus is right, we can fix this and if not us, then our kids can fix this." Mo said.
"If you say so..." Cherry fluttered her lips.
"Cerise, it'll be okay..." Forte soothed, attempting to put his arm around her.
"What if it's not!?" Cherry stood up and walked off shortly. "Our children travel centuries into the future of that city planet and they risk their lives all the time! What if one day they don't succeed!? What if my book's wrong...?" she then asked the last bit softly and sadly. "What if they go on a mission and it actually kills them?"
"They won't die or be killed." Atticus assured her.
Cherry's book then appeared and opened up, showing a distant future where Akito and Ace were fighting Deuce and where it showed Deuce defeated, but the next page was blank after Akito plunged his sword into the royal scepter.
"Excuse me... "Cherry decided to check her book.
Atticus, Mo, and Forte came to her sides, so Captain Planet and Zadavia were left unknowingly alone together. And when the four of them read what the book had to show them they were shocked that it wasn't complete.
"Cherry, what happens next?" Atticus asked.
"I... I don't know..." Cherry mumbled.
"It's blank..." Forte frowned.
"What does it mean?" Mo asked.
"I... I don't know..." Cherry held her head. "This can't be how it ends..."
"It appears so..." Forte looked over her shoulder as there was nothing more to tell.
"I guess it's up to fate..." Cherry closed the book and bowed her head.
"Agreed." Forte nodded.
Cherry buried her face in his chest. Forte put his arm around her then. Mo sighed as she was holding Atticus and he held her back.
Zadavia took out her handheld computer. "My presence is required for the assistance I sent out after Vincent and Jennifer's disappearance when I brought in the one they called 'Eloise'."
"Looks like things are getting crazy." Captain Planet said.
"I better attend this..." Zadavia told the adults.
"You want one of us to go with you?" Captain Planet asked.
"Oh, I do my best work alone..." Zadavia replied. "You... Better stay here with your niece and her friends."
"No, Zadavia, you'll need all the help you can get." Mo said.
"Will you all be okay?" Zadavia asked.
"I've faced much worse..." Forte reassured. "We'll see you again when we see you."
"Fair enough..." Zadavia replied then.
"Here, let me help you..." Captain Planet stood her up to her feet then with a smile.
Zadavia smiled back and the two beings took their leave, but would return when necessary.
While that went on, Akito and Estelle were getting their homework done.
"And almost...Done!" Akito and Estelle cheered.
Tech was making another desk for his makeshift classroom since Eloise would be joining in on the tutoring. "Hope that'll be good enough for her." he said to himself with a smile.
"We're finished!" the Fudo twins told him.
Tech smiled back to them. "Oh, you are, are you?" he then chuckled, taking their homework assignments. He looked them over and saw that the Fudo twins really were finished with their homework.
The twins smiled in anticipation.
"I'll grade these right away." Tech smirked.
The twins nodded to him and laughed a little.
"Sorry about your brother by the way, I'm sure things will be okay in the end..." Tech tried to relax them.
"I'm sure too." Akito said before his eyes started to glow.
"You two run along now, I got work to do..." Tech smiled to show he wasn't angry or annoyed that he had to grade their papers, but walked off just to do that.
Akito, in the meantime, began to have a vision in the future and where it looked like he was going to sacrifice himself. He was very alarmed and curious of this vision, just wondering what it meant, but he leti t play in his head. He saw himself plunge his sword through the royal scepter, sacrificing himself before it ended there. He then blinked and looked around, wondering what that vision meant. He saw Estelle had gone, possibly to her room, so he went too.
Leo was napping in the middle of Akito's bed.
Akito was thinking about that vision and what it meant. "Maybe some wrestling and training and flight training will clear my head." he said to himself.
Leo opened one eye, then yawned. "Hey!"
"Hey," Akito smiled. "Ya sleepy there?"
"Nah, just went for a little nap." Leo said.
Akito patted his Fuzz-Z on the head, then sat down next to him. "Want a story?"
"Okay!" Leo beamed. "I love it when you tell stories, it feels like I'm actually there."
"All right, which one?" Akito skimmed through the book covers, reading aloud each title as he passed them to recommend to his pet.
"How about when your dad got his incredible strength even stronger?" Leo asked
"Well, I wasn't really there, but that is one of my favorites." Akito agreed.
Leo looked very excited.
"Well, of course Aunt Cherry was with him," Akito started. "They met a warlock named Drell who was Head of the Witches Council at the time."
"Have you met him?" Ace asked.
"No, but I'd like to, he sounds kinda cool, even though Aunt Cherry was afraid of him..." Akito said, though he had a hard time believing that his Aunt Cherry could be afraid of anything or anybody.
"Oh, come on, he couldn't have been that bad to her." Leo said.
"I dunno..." Akito shrugged. "I just know that Dad always found a way to keep him in line around Aunt Cherry."
"Of course your dad would..." Leo chuckled to that.
"So anyway," Akito started the story. "Dad and Aunt Cherry found out that Drell was a lot stronger than Dad, how that happened, I don't know, I thought Dad was the strongest next to Hercules..."
Leo listened attentively to the story.
"Anyway, on the day before Drell got married to Hilda, the aunt of Sabrina Spellman, Dad began to get trained by him and where thanks to Drell's help, Dad got stronger than he ever was before." Akito said.
"How strong was he now?" Leo asked.
"He could lift an entire building with just one finger." Akito said.
"Jeez!" Leo's eyes widened.
"Yeah, it was pretty intense..." Akito said. "I just wish I could've been there..."
"Is Drell still Head of the Council these days?" Leo asked.
"I don't think so," Akito shrugged while shaking his head. "I heard Dad always saying he was going to retire and start working in Canterlot High."
"Cool, maybe you'll go there someday." Leo smiled.
"I dunno..." Akito shrugged. "I don't think I'll ever not be home-schooled."
"You never know..." Leo assured. "You may be in public school someday."
"Yeah, maybe." Akito nodded.
Leo smiled. Akito gently ruffled up the top of his head with a small chuckle.
Meanwhile...
"Ugh..." Jenny groaned as she slowly opened her midnight blue eyes. "Where am I...?"
"Ah, so you're finally awake." Vincent said.
"Vincent...?" Jenny recognized his voice, but her vision looked blurry for a moment, she then rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times and her vision became clear and she found the boy she really liked.
"So this is the girl that you brought along with you." Captain Pollution said.
"Yes, sir..." Vincent replied like a trusted and loyal soldier.
"How beautiful she is..." Captain Pollution chuckled.
"What's going on?" Jenny frowned.
"You're here as our guest." Captain Pollution said.
"Well, what if I don't wanna?" Jenny huffed.
"Oh, come on, Jenny..." Vincent attempted to seduce. "Be our guest~..."
"You're gonna sing, aren't you?" Jenny asked, annoyed.
"What? No, I'm just saying..." Vincent replied.
"I don't think this is very funny, Vincent..." Jenny folded her arms firmly.
"Okay, I think it's time we changed her heart." Captain Pollution said.
"Changed my heart...?" Jenny asked.
"Jenny, I'm doing this for us..." Vincent put his arm around the redheaded girl. "This is a good thing!"
Jenny put his arm down. "No, you can't make me!" she then ran off.
"She's not making this easy." Captain Pollution said before grabbing her.
"Let me go!" Jenny demanded.
"No way, at least not yet," Captain Pollution said. "You know what to do, Vincent."
"Right..." Vincent nodded.
"Vincent, this isn't like you!" Jenny frowned. 'The Vincent I know wouldn't do this!"
"This is the new and improved me," Vincent said. "Shall I show her test of my new strength, Master?"
"Oh, yes, I think that is a very good idea." Captain Pollution approved.
"Vincent...?" Jenny asked wearily.
"Time to show you how strong I am now." Vincent said.
"Vincent, yes, you're strong, but not as-" Jenny was about to say.
"Oh, but watch, my dear, watch and be amazed..." Captain Pollution smiled darkly to her.
Vincent went over to a nearby boulder with his hands. Jenny took a look.
Vincent cracked his knuckles with a smirk. "Watch this, Jenny."
"I have a feeling I'm not gonna like this..." Jenny sighed as she did not approve of Vincent's behavior change.
Vincent threw the boulder into the air and then flew into the sky, destroying it with two punches. Jenny watched that. Yes, she was impressed, but she wasn't going to let that get to her.
Vincent came back to her side with a sick smirk. "Well, what do you think?"
"I think I liked the old Vincent better..." Jenny folded her arms.
"Jenny, why don't you like this new physique?" Vincent asked, flexing his muscles like a bodybuilder.
"Because it's not the you I know..." Jenny frowned deeply. "The Vincent I know was always brave for the right reason... He was like a prince charming in my life..." she then held her chest as her heart sank a little. "The Vincent I know is special just the way he was and not all of these changes..."
"The Vincent you know is gone, you don't like the new and improved Vincent Fudo?" Captain Pollution taunted her.
"No, frankly, I don't..." Jenny narrowed her eyes.
"Well, get used to it." Captain Pollution sneered to her. "Do what you wish with your lady friend, Vincent."
"I think it's time we used the power of pollution on her," Vincent said. "To change her point of view."
"Yes..." Captain Pollution agreed.
"Look, Vincent, you know as well as I do that good will triumph over-" Jenny argued.
"SILENCE!" Captain Pollution growled. "This is for your own good!"
Vincent pointed all five rings right at Jenny.
"No, you can't!" Jenny tried to shield herself.
"I'm sorry, but this hurts me more than it hurts you." Vincent replied stoically before activating the rings.
Once he activated the rings, their powers began to over take Jenny's body.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Jenny yelled out before weakly dying out, not literally though, but the Jenny she once knew herself as was going to dramatically change like Vincent did.
"It's working." Captain Pollution smiled evilly before releasing her.
Jenny then fell to her knees with her hands over her eyes and her head bowed down.
Vincent walked over to the girl. "Well, Jenny, how do you feel?"
"I feel great." Jenny said, beginning to stand up.
Captain Pollution smiled. "Excellent..." he said before laughing.
Vincent and Jenny laughed with him. This did not look good so far.
