Soon, the police arrived and arrested the three criminals.
"H-H-Hey, watch the snout!" Pinkster called out as he was being forced into the squad car with his adoptive parents.
"Well done, Loonatics," Captain Planet smiled to the heroes. "You all did very well."
"I just wish Jenny and Vincent could've been here..." Estelle sighed, very worried about her pen pal and older brother.
"Don't worry, Sis, I'm sure we'll find them someday." Akito assured his sister.
Estelle sadly looked to him, then hugged him.' Akito hugged back, feeling the same pain.
After a while, the whole team and Captain Planet then went back to the tower.
"You going to be okay, Duck?" Eloise asked as she was looking over papers that made her disgusted since they were from Phillip.
"Yeah, I guess." Duck frowned.
"I'm very, very, very sorry that had to happen..." Eloise hugged him a little.
Duck was surprised that she was hugging him. "Uh, thanks..." he then put his arms around her.
After a little while, the portal appeared to take Eloise, Felicity, Simon, and Patch home. Akito and Estelle waved to the ones who were leaving and they waved back, taking their leaves.
Eloise jumped out of her portal and looked around with a smile, she was no longer in the Plaza Hotel, but she was in Paris with her mother. "Mom-My~, I'm ba-ack~..." she called like a song bird on the first day of Spring which usually led by Nanny scolding her for using her outdoor voice in the hotel. "Mommy?" she then looked around, unable to find her mother. "Mommy? ...Mother...?" she then looked around, then found her pug pet sleeping on top of Darla's bed. "Weenie, have you seen my mother?" she asked him.
Weenie yawned and stretched. "She said something about a photo shoot, but she'd be back for lunch in case you came back early."
Eloise then checked the time. "But it's dinnertime now..."
As if on cue, the door opened and Darla came in, catching her breath.
"Mother!" Eloise ran over to her mother.
"Hi, sweetie..." Darla panted, then put a smile on for her daughter. "How was your mission?"
Eloise looked more concerned about her mother. "What happened?"
Darla wiped her forehead. "Um... Mommy was being stalked by a fan... That's all..."
"Are you sure?" Eloise asked.
"Absolutely..." Darla said, using her daughter's favorite word.
Eloise hummed, she felt something suspicious about what her mother said, but went along with it.
"Shall we call room service?" Darla picked up her room's phone.
"Oh, yes, absolutely." Eloise smiled.
Darla smiled, then dialed the number for room service for their dinner. Eloise then started to bounce against her mother's temporary bed. Darla greeted and requested room service in French over the phone. Eloise looked very curious of her mother, but was very happy to be with her a lot more than she used to.
"I'll be right back, guys," Captain Planet told the Loonatics. "I'm going to check on things..." he then looked to the twins. "Your parents for instance."
"Okay, we'll see you when you get back." Estelle smiled.
"Thanks for coming." Akito gave a hug.
"My pleasure..." Captain Planet hugged them back. "Your parents would be so proud."
"Say hi for us, okay?" Estelle requested.
"No problem." Captain Planet said before taking his leave.
"That sure is one cool uncle you kids got." Ace smiled.
"We know." Akito and Estelle smiled proudly.
"Now, Ace, we better start planning our wedding." Lexi said.
"Oh, uh, right." Ace smiled.
"You guys have fun now~" Estelle giggled.
"Oh, go do your homework or somethin'." Ace teased.
"Already done." Akito smirked as he showed their finished homework.
"Show-Offs..." Ace folded his arms with a smirk back.
"We'll get out of your way though." Estelle said.
"See ya, guys." Ace waved to them before leaving with Lexi.
The twins then waved back and went to their seperate ways.
Estelle sighed. "I hope Jenny and Vincent are okay..." she whispered.
Speaking of Jenny and Vincent, they were still with Captain Pollution who was putting weights on Vincent's back. Jenny seemed to be very diabolical and even malicious and more of a fiery redhead than a lonely rich girl like how she used to be before she met Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Oliver.
Vincent began to do push-ups as Captain Pollution continued to put weights on his back. "This will show more muscles." he said.
"You're doing great..." Captain Pollution smiled evilly.
Jenny walked over with a sick and sinister smile as her heart had been corrupted. "What shall I do, Master?"
"Oh, just sit back and watch your boyfriend's muscles flex while he's exercising." Captain Pollution said.
"Um... Okay..." Jenny shrugged, but she did as he said of her to do. And where to her this seemed entertaining to watch her boyfriend exercise.
Captain Pollution smiled to his two 'hostages'. "You both do me so proud."
"I'm just glad I'm getting stronger." Vincent said.
"You make me so happy." Jenny purred to the boy she liked.
"I know." Vincent smirked before winking and flexing his muscles.
Jenny giggled and was out of character by ogling at his charms and muscles.
'Excellent, the corruption is working.' Captain Pollution thought to himself.
Vincent started to crush boulders. Jenny smiled darkly, no one had ever saw this side of her, even before the corruption. She rarely ever got angry.
While that was going on, Akito began to do training in the simulator and fighting tougher and stronger opponents. He was getting stronger and better everyday, it was a fun pastime, especially for someone with his size and strength. He even increased the size of each of the opponents and even changed them to monsters and even hybrids of monsters and villains/criminals combined.
"Is this really the best they can do?" Akito asked himself as he sat on top of the pile he just beat up.
He then felt the ground shake as he saw a six-armed giant.
"That's more like it." Akito said, flying right up to the giant's chest.
The giant roared in Akito's face.
Akito flinched from that. "Great challenge... Bad breath..." he then continued to fly.
The giant then chomped Akito in his mouth and grinned that the boy was in his mouth.
"You think you can beat me?" Akito asked before opening the giant's mouth with his full strength. "And by the way, use a breath mint!"
The giant roared, trying to eat him.
"Nah, I don't think so..." Akito kept opening as wide as he could go, then zipped out of the giant's mouth. He then charged into the six-armed giant's chest.
The six-armed giant decided to try to stop him by smacking his two middle hands together against Akito, hoping to make it feel like he was rammed into a wall.
Akito then spread his arms out over the giant's hands. "Nope!"
The six-armed giant began to put all of his strength into crushing Akito, but couldn't seem to do so.
Akito laughed. "Oh, come on now, you think I'm going down that easily?"
Akito then flew right at the giant's chest, knocking him right into a wall, showing that Akito had won. He then sighed before turning off the simulator.
"These simulations are just not challenging anymore, I need to train with someone as strong and powerful as me, minusing the exact same powers as me." Akito said.
"Well, I'd ask your dad, but he's busier than ever..." Leo said.
"Yeah..." Akito walked over.
"Hmm... Slam?" Leo suggested.
"Yeah, strength and muscle against strength and muscle." Akito smiled.
"If he's not too busy eating a whole lot..." Leo narrowed his eyes in a deadpan fashion.
Akito rolled his eyes at his pet with a small smirk. "I wonder if Drell's still around."
"Drell?" Leo asked.
"He was the most powerful man in the universe that Dad told me about once..." Akito said. "He said that Drell was somehow stronger than him and trained him to be as strong."
"Awesome." Leo smiled.
Luckily for Akito, Slam was bored and wasn't in the mood to eat so he decided to come into the training room.
"Hey, Slam, not hungry for a change?" Akito couldn't help but joke just so he could get Slam fired up so he could have a real challenge.
"Oh, you're gonna get it!" Slam chuckled in a challenging way.
"Bring it on, man, bring it on!" Akito challenged.
Slam then got into his wrestling stance before charging into the boy.
"Oh, boy!" akito's eyes widened, then he prepared himself.
Leo then decided to watch this and that was what he did. Slam began to push Akito like a wrestler, but Akito wasn't going to let him win so easily and was now starting to push the Tasmanian devil, even by pushing him by his muscles.
"Now this is a training match!" Leo smiled.
Ace and Lexi were in one of the rooms alone together, planning out their wedding.
"So, uh, you got any ideas of who you want for your bridesmaids?" Ace asked.
"Yes, I would like Jenny and Felicity to be my bridesmaids and Estelle, I want her to be my maid of honor," Lexi said. "And Eloise will be the flower girl."
"That's quite a tall order." Ace smiled.
"Well, what can I say?" Lexi smiled innocently in return with a small shrug. "I just love those girls."
"Well, obviously, Akito will be my best man and whenever we can get Vincent uncorrupted, he'll be the ring bearer." Ace said.
"Great decision," Lexi smiled. "Uh, you think you'll make Duck a groomsman?"
"We'll see, Lex..." Ace muttered about Duck being involved with the wedding planning.
They began to feel the whole place shaking again, telling them one thing.
"They're at it again." Ace said.
"Yep..." Lexi slightly rolled her eyes.
"Maybe it should be Slam." Ace said.
"We'll think about it..." Lexi said. "I actually kinda feel bad for Duck today... His best friend betrayed him..."
"Same here, not even Duck deserves that kind of betrayal." Ace said.
"Must've crushed him..." Lexi said as she included the girls' names in their arrangements and positions for the wedding.
"Yeah." Ace frowned.
Lexi continued to fill out the arrangements that they had for now.
"I, uh, I better check on him..." Ace suggested.
"Okay, I'll continue filling out the arrangements.: Lexi smiled.
"All right, you know where to find me." Ace agreed, then went to go visit Duck.
Lexi nodded before continuing to fill out the arrangements.
Akito and Slam continued to wrestle and where they even switched it to boxing.
"'Scuse me a sec..." Akito said, going to take a quick water break.
"Take your time." Slam said with a smile.
"Let me guess, he's wearing you out, right?" Leo asked Akito.
"Eh, he's better than the training dummies..." Akito shrugged, then took his drink of water and breathed in relief. "Ah..."
"Guess you found your sparing partner." Leo smiled.
"You some kind of judge?" Akito chuckled.
"You know I'm right." Leo smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Akito crushed his cup, then came back over to Slam, tossing the cup in the trash.
"Ready for round two, champ?" Slam asked in Tasmanian language.
"I was just getting warmed up, bring it on!" Akito challenged.
"Ooh, a tough guy/big shot, eh?" Slam asked playfully in Tasmanian language. "Let's see if you will handle my next few moves and punches."
Akito laughed back, then jumped over to him so they could fight. Slam grabbed Akito in a wrestling move and even carried him like the child he was.
"Heeey..." Akito pouted angrily.
"Rock-A-Bye, Baby~..." Slam playfully sang and laughed. He even started to use his tornado spin to hopefully make the boy dizzy long enough to send him fly and land on the ground and possibly pin him down with a piledriver.
Akito blinked and groaned. "Aw, hey, man, that's not cool!"
"Gotta expect your opponents to not play fair or just use moves you can't get out of." Slam told him in Tasmanian language.
Akito got very dizzy, but he tried to focus on his next moves and not let Slam bring him down. But due to Slam's size, he was able to bring him down, making the whole place shake.
Akito groaned and fell in the middle of the floor. "Not fair..."
"Size difference..." Slam smiled before being lifted up by Akito, not playing around anymore.
"You've forced me..." Akito glared.
"Whoa, Akito, take it easy, buddy!" Slam looked surprised at how he was reacting.
"No way, I was just playing around before, but now I'm going to do this seriously." Akito glared before pushing the Tasmanian devil away from him to get enough distance.
"Ooh..." Leo was surprised.
"Wuh-Oh..." Slam muttered, this did not look good so far.
Akito now stood in fighting stance before he taunted Slam fighter style.
"You've come a long way." Slam said.
Akito nodded firmly as he was really ready for the Tasmanian devil now.
In 18th century France...
Simon was in a highchair and turning his head as he was being forced to try baby food, he didn't want any.
"Here, let me get him..." Felicity walked over with a mouse in her hands that shook and tried to get out of her hold.
Simon grabbed the mouse and bit into its neck, sucking out the blood instantly.
"Looks like he just like blood and not baby food." Belle said.
"Apologies..." Felicity told the new queen.
Simon then wiped his mouth with a napkin, looking prim and proper.
"Well, at least he's polite to wipe his mouth." Belle said.
Felicity then picked up Simon from his highchair. "Let's play!"
Simon rolled his eyes with a long-suffering groan. Felicity walked off with him and brought him into the castle playroom that was made after Gabrielle had been born.
"I just do not understand that boy." Adam said, referring to Simon.
"He's unique." Belle soothed.
"He's mysterious... Like his father..." Adam mumbled.
"Now, Adam, Monsieur Forte has already apologized for what he did." Belle told her husband.
"I suppose..." Adam looked distant.
"It's time you left that past behind." Belle said.
"Sometimes I'm not sure..." Adam said. "He tried to kill us..."
"You know, Cherry reminds me a lot of us..." Belle folded her arms. "Maestro Forte was a monster himself, but someone gave him kindness and a helping hand... A lot like what I did with you..."
"That's... That's different..." Adam said, not wanting to admit she had a point there.
"How is that at all different?" Belle asked.
"You just don't understand..." Adam walked away from her.
"Those two are going to have a long time together here." Felicity whispered.
Simon looked like he didn't care, but he tilted his head at his parents' friends. And where he had to admit it, his sister was right Belle and Adam would have a long time together in the house and where the long time would be like a roller-coaster ride.
"Come on, let's get to Gabby and Chip." Felicity said.
Simon sighed again as his sister dragged him off. Felicity then started to run down the corridor, passing Cogsworth which nearly knocked him down in the middle of the floor.
"Felicity, please do slow down!" Cogsworth told her.
"Sorry, Monsiuer!" Felicity called to the majordomo.
"Just please do watch where you're going!" Cogsworth called back to her.
Felicity nodded, but slowed down her running just a tad and came into the playroom.
Chip was sitting in one corner and Gabrielle was at the play tea table, sipping from a teacup.
"Hey, that tickles, Gabby!" Chip made a voice to make it sound like the cup was talking to surprise her.
"Nice try, Chip." Gabrielle smirked.
Chip chuckled, then looked over and saw one of his other best friends in the castle. "Lici, you're back!"
"Oui," Felicity smiled, then walked over with her baby brother. "Shall we play?"
"Yeah!" Chip and Gabrielle cheered.
Simon groaned as he was stuck with playing with the big kids.
