Meanwhile, with Atticus, Mo, Cherry, Forte, and Zadavia...
Cherry was looking at her book and saw the next chapter with the next foe for the Loonatics to face. "The Music Villian..." she read, then had a playful smirk to her husband. "Hey, that's what I used to call you!" she then laughed and nudged his arm, shaking her head as she found little amusement in this adventure she was sharing.
"Oh, ha, ha, ha, it is to laugh." Forte groaned.
Cherry stuck her tongue out at him. "Nyah-Nyah!"
Mo sighed softly, she was really worried about Vincent.
"Don't worry, Mo, we will be able to save Vincent and get him back to his normal self." Atticus assured his wife.
"But what if we don't?" Mo frowned.
"Please, don't think of the negative and worry so much, Monique," Zadavia soothed the best way that she could. "It'll make you sick."
"Thanks, Zadavia..." Mo said, though still insanely worried, she was a mother after all.
"Well, the kids are doing great." Captain Planet informed them as soon as he appeared.
"Uncle Planet..." Mo whispered as tears invaded her eyes.
Captain Planet gave her a hug. "It's okay... They miss their brother too..."
"Thank you for checking with them." Zadavia said to him.
"It was my pleasure." Captain Planet smiled.
Zadavia smiled back.
"Have you guys heard anything?" Captain Planet looked to the parents of the 'Junior Loonatics'.
"It's been quiet, but the kids are going to face 'The Music Villain' next," Cherry said. "They're almost done..."
"Almost done!?" Forte looked to her.
"Yeah, look." Cherry showed that she only had a few chapters left before the blank pages.
"Then they'll need their uncle by their side." Mo said.
"I'm up for it." Captain Planet agreed.
"Thank you, Uncle Planet." Mo smiled.
"Of course." Captain Planet gently patted her on the head.
"Our babies are risking their lives every day and we're not there for them..." Mo sighed sadly.
"We'll be with them soon." Atticus assured his wife.
"Cherry, what was it like having to give up Felicity when she was a newborn?" Mo asked.
"Incredibly and extremely painful..." Cherry replied. "I just spent the rest of my days wondering... If she was okay, if she was sick, if she was getting a good enough education, if her father was being a good enough parent... You got to raise Akito and Estelle, yes, you had to give up Vincent yourselves, but you still had him for a good while... As soon as I held my baby girl for the first time, I had to say goodbye to her in the first length of her existence."
"Oh, dear..." Mo frowned.
"I just can't believe your father made you do that..." Atticus said. "Why didn't you tell us about it? I would've taken care of him!"
"I didn't want you guys to worry about me..." Cherry slowly shut her eyes.
"You're my best friend, Cherry, and your also like the third sister I never had," Atticus said. "I would have been able to help."
"Thank you, but that was a very painful and horrendous experience that I hope to never go through again..." Cherry said to him.
Cherry rested her head on his shoulder and actually hugged him with bitter tears escaping her eyes.
Forte put his arms around her in return and gently stroked her hair. "I haven't you heard you cry like this in years..." he whispered. "It reminds me of... Of..."
We see a brief image of Cherry as a 10-year-old girl, crying in her sleep in the music room while Forte as a pipe organ looked down at her as she suffered another nightmare inducing night with the former villainous court composer of the castle.
"Let's not talk about the past." Forte said.
Cherry curiously looked up at him.
"Let it all out..." Forte soothed.
Suddenly, a portal opened and grabbed the withering man. Forte yelled out as he was grabbed by his arm.
"CHARLES!" Cherry grabbed his other arm, actually concerned about him.
"I could use an assistant like you..." a mysterious man smiled darkly to Forte as he took him away with him.
"Let me go!" Forte glared before biting the mysterious man.
The mysterious man tried to dodge the bite and got away with Forte and the portal closed up.
"NO!" Cherry cried out, she held the coat as her husband was taken away. "No..." she then whispered.
"Who was that, Cherry?" Zadavia asked.
"The Music Villain..." Cherry had tears in her eyes. "I don't know his real name, my book doesn't say..."
"Then we gotta find him and rescue Forte." Atticus said.
"Cherry, you seem worried..." Captain Planet said. "And you thought heart was a lame power."
"Whatever..." Cherry shrugged that off, but still had tears. "Just whatever kid Planeteer you have that has the power of heart is gonna get screwed over."
"No, he/she won't." Captain Planet said.
Cherry fluttered her lips which made a strand fly up slightly before tumbling back down between her eyes.
"That was random." Zadavia said.
"Are you well?" Captain Planet asked Zadavia.
"I'm fine, I assure you..." Zadavia smiled to him.
"Do you think you'll be able to meet the Loonatics to give them their next mission?" Captain Planet asked.
"Yes, I'll be able to." Zadavia said.
"I'm sure they'll be glad to see you." Captain Planet encouraged.
"Yes..." Zadavia agreed.
"Yeah, besides it's been a long time since you've just chatted with them." Atticus said.
"We'll go together..." Captain Planet offered to Zadavia. "I mean... If you would want my company... I just... Ya know..."
"I'd actually would like your company very much." Zadavia smiled.
"That sounds great!" Captain Planet smiled.
Zadavia smiled back as her lime-green eyes seemed to glimmer.
"So then, we'll see you both when you two get back." Atticus said.
"Think you'll be okay on your own?" Zadavia asked.
"I was born all alone..." Cherry said, emotionally distant.
"We'll keep her company." Mo said.
"Stay safe." Captain Planet and Zadavia said, unintentionally together in unison. Once they realized they spoke at the same time, they both blushed.
Mo noticed that and had a small smirk to her uncle and the intergalactic future woman.
"Looks like we might have a new aunt in the future." Atticus whispered.
"Hmm..." Mo nodded back, but didn't move her lips, she was not angry or upset about that, but just surprised.
"Um, well, we better get going then." Captain Planet said while blushing.
"Erm... Right..." Zadavia agreed.
"Behave now, you two." Mo teased them.
"You behave yourself, kiddo." Captain Planet playfully nudged her.
"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm married with three kids!" Mo retorted.
Captain Planet and Zadavia then left to speak with the Loonatics.
"Well, Mo, looks like you're gonna get an aunt." Atticus said to his wife.
"I guess so..." Mo chuckled. "hopefully she'll be better than Aunt Sarah..."
Cherry sighed as she held her husband's coat in her arms.
"And looks like we might need to stay by Cherry's side until Forte is rescued." Atticus said.
"Looks that way." Mo said.
Cherry wiped her eyes as she looked extremely sad.
"It's okay to be sad, Cherry..." Mo whispered.
Cherry glanced back.
"You guys are married after all..." Mo continued. "I'd be devastated if anything happened to Atticus."
"Yeah, but just listen to your heart and it will tell you if Forte is in trouble or not," Atticus said. "The heart is never wrong."
"It's true." Mo smiled.
"What heart?" Cherry deadpanned. "It's probably in a jar somewhere..."
This was going to be a challenge, but they were determined on keeping Cherry company and assure her that nothing bad would happen to Forte.
Meanwhile, with the Loonatics...
Eloise came through an early portal since she had to go over tutoring with Akito, Estelle, and Tech. She was wearing a pink dress that looked a lot like what her mother used to wear and it even had hearts on it, but she had gloves and a beret on with a white scarf, looking like a child fashion model.
"Nice outfit, cous..." Akito said.
"I went to work with my mother earlier..." Eloise said with a small smile, she then walked over to a changing panel and put on her Loonatic uniform.
"Wow, that was nice of her, but, wait, doesn't she have work today?" Estelle asked.
"That's what I thought, but they gave her the day-off today." Eloise smiled.
"You still wanna work with us if Aunt Darla has time off?" Akito asked. "You barely get to see her... Why don't you guys spend some time together?"
"No, she said that it's okay if I go to my new tutor, my education is more important." Eloise said.
"Aunt Darla probably made her say that..." Akito whispered due to how Eloise felt about her tutoring.
Estelle hid a giggle to that. Eloise came back out in her Loonatic uniform, then sat in one of the school desks in the simulation classroom.
"Good morning, class." Tech said as he entered the classroom.
"Good morning, Mr. Coyote." The kids smiled.
Tech chuckled at that. "Oh, Eloise, good to see you."
"Please don't be boring or mean." Eloise smirked.
"Don't worry, I'm not boring or mean." Tech said.
"Go on then." Eloise smiled.
Tech then opened up a folder to take one papers for them. "Did you guys pass up your homework yet?"
"Oh!" Eloise realized, then came to his desk with her own paper, handing it to the coyote. "Here you go."
"Here you go." The Fudo twins said, handing up their finished homework to Tech.
"Ah, very good." Tech smiled, collecting their papers, then noticed the other clothes. "Now, where did those come from?"
"A photographer wanted me to pose for a line of little girl clothes when I had breakfast with my mother." Eloise explained. "I didn't have enough time to change."
"Ohh, well, that makes sense." Tech said.
"So, what are we going to learn today, Mr. Coyote?" Eloise asked.
"Let me see..." Tech hummed as he looked through documents that he had already gone through with them so far.
"Oceanography?" Akito suggested. "We know a lot about that."
Tech chuckled. "I'm sure you all do in your own way."
"There's more to the ocean than we know?" Eloise asked.
"How's about a pop quiz to see what you really know and not just about where you go for your summer vacation," Tech chuckled.
"Aww..." Akito, Estelle, and Eloise groaned like normal children about pop quizzes given out in public school systems.
"This should be easy," Tech laughed at that. "Besides, Zadavia has an underwater home."
"She does?" Eloise did not know that.
"Ohh, wait, is it that one that's connected to the ocean ground?" Akito asked.
"The very one." Tech replied.
"We've been there," Estelle told Eloise. "It's pretty cool..."
"It sounds lovely." Eloise smiled hopefully.
"It is." Estelle smiled.
"I hope we get to be in it soon." Eloise added.
"Maybe someday," Tech smiled at their excitement.
The lesson was focused on the ocean, the coyote was sure they would know a thing or two due to their parents being linked into the Atlantican empire, he just decided to see what they knew and ended up learning himself. Before anything else could be said, they were all called in to Zadavia's underwater building.
"All right, did you call that?" Tech asked Akito since he was the one who suggested a lesson on oceanography.
Akito shrugged with an innocent smile.
"Eh, very well, let's just get goin'..." Tech said. "Lucky day for you, Eloise, we're going to Zadavia's underwater home."
"I think this is what they call a 'field trip'." Estelle said to her twin brother and cousin.
"You're right, this is going to be like a field trip." Tech said.
Akito, Estelle, and Eloise followed Tech out to join the others to Zadavia's underwater home to see what all the hubbub was about. And where as if on cue, Patch, Felicity, and Simon came in after the portal appeared.
"Come on, guys, we gotta meet Zadavia." Ace told them as soon as they arrived.
"We're coming." Patch smiled.
Simon glared at Duck as he flopped around his sister's shoulders, wrapping his arms around her neck, but not in a choking manner.
All of them made their way to the underwater building to meet Zadavia there, along with Captain Planet. Akito and Estelle hugged their uncle again once they saw him and smiled.
"So, what's this all about, Zadavia?" Tech asked as he glanced out as there were circling manta rays.
"I see you've had quite an improvement since last year in the Technological Era Department." Zadavia said to the coyote as she was watching footage from the latest missions where he was actually figthing and not relying on the others or his inventions to save the day from doing his part.
"She's right, Tech." Estelle smiled.
"I've been trying to get out of the lab more." Tech smiled sheepishly.
"Well, keep it up," Zadavia encouraged. "It's most impressive."
"Yeah, yeah, impressive schmessive, Techy's real tough..." Duck scoffed.
Patch, not liking his attitude, stepped on his foot. Duck quietly grunted, looked in much pain, then yelled out in even more pain.
"Now, onto Ace and Akito." Captain Planet said.
"Are we being graded or something?" Akito asked curiously.
"You could call it that." Captain Planet said.
Suddenly, the computer spoke to Zadavia and mentioned it had a message for her and she requested for it to be opened. And where it was a message from someone saying that she was given two tickets for herself and a friend of her choosing and two extra tickets for anyone of her choosing.
"That's a pretty hot ticket," Lexi commented. "So, who's your secret admirer?"
"I..." Zadavia blushed slightly with Lexi's term of endearment as she put her hand to her mouth. "I don't know... I would like to find out." She knew exactly who she would like to come with her but had to decide on who would come with them.
"Mind if I tag along?" Captain Planet asked her.
"Well, you obviously." Zadavia smiled to him.
"So, Zadavia," Duck walked over with a smug, kissing up smile. "Who's the lucky duo? As if I don't already know..."
"Hmm..." Zadavia looked to the others. "Let me see..." She looked around with Captain Planet before they both knew who would come with them.
"Tech and Akito." Zadavia and Captain Planet then said.
Duck gasped and looked back. "You're taking who?"
"Really?" Tech asked with a chuckle. "Why, I'm honored."
"Have a fun time at the concert, you four." Estelle smiled.
"Oh, yeah, yeah..." Duck forced a friendly chuckle, but was obviously painfully jealous. "Congratulations, old buddies..." he then bitterly folded his arms. "Teacher's pets."
A familiar young mermaid smiled as she swam around, then waved to Estelle. Estelle saw that from the corner of her eye and waved back to the mermaid princess, surprised to see her, but remembered to be polite.
"A friend of yours Estelle?" Captain Planet smiled.
"Yes, actually," Estelle looked back after the mermaid princess swam off with her family. "Her name's Princess Nebula."
"It's very nice to meet you, Princess Nebula." Captain Planet smiled.
Princess Nebula giggled and swam off.
Estelle smiled to her future friend, then looked back to her brother. "Have a good time at the concert, okay?"
"I sure will." Akito said, giving a thumbs up to his sister.
Estelle smiled to him.
"But first, we'll need to go and get some different clothes on." Tech said.
"Something casual, yes." Zadavia agreed.
"I'll help," Eloise smiled innocently. "I know a lot about fashion~..."
"Okay then, Eloise." Akito smiled.
Eloise did a little twirl to show her excitement.
"Spontaneous little one, isn't she?" Tech commented.
"Her mother was the same way based on what I've heard." Captain Planet chuckled.
"And you've heard correctly." Eloise smiled.
Captain Planet chuckled and patted her on the head. "You're a good kid..."
"I am a city child," Eloise happily announced. "I live like a princess in my very own hotel, but just recently, get to be with my darling mother again..." she then pouted slightly. "But I've never seen my father..."
"Don't worry, Ellie, I'm sure someday you can spend more time with Uncle Urchin..." Estelle cooed.
"Yeah, I guess." Eloise frowned.
"Your life sounds lonely back in New York..." Estelle pouted.
Eloise merely shrugged, she was only six and she was rarely with her parents. "I don't like getting in trouble, but it's the only way I can really get attention."
"Sounds like a perfect plan to me." Duck said.
"It would be..." Patch murmured.
Estelle looked out to the water, she let out a small sigh.
"You wanna go swimming, do you not?" Felicity asked.
Estelle smiled. "It's been a while..."
"Go ahead, Sis, you deserve a little break." Akito smiled.
"I hope you have a lot of fun at the concert." Estelle smiled back.
"I know I will." Akito agreed.
Estelle then went over to Zadavia before she went into her private chamber. "Uh, Zadavia, do you have a way out of here that can send me into the water?" she requested.
"The only way out is the same entrance." Zadavia said.
"Mind if I take a dip?" Estelle asked.
"Be my guest." Zadavia allowed.
Estelle smiled eagerly, then rushed out to go for a swim in her own way that her family did.
Eloise began to do her work as she began to get Akito, Tech, Captain Planet, and Zadavia the perfect clothes for a concert.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Tech asked.
"Please, I'm simply a fashionista in training..." Eloise put on her heart-shaped sunglasses and folded her arms, trying to look like a snooty celebrity. "Don't hate me because I'm adorable."
"Are you almost done?" Atticus asked.
"Hmm..." Eloise found one thing, then handed it over to Akito. "Here, try this."
Akito took it and went off to change into it while Tech, Captain Planet, and Zadavia left with their new clothes. Eloise smiled, then waited for them as she flaunted her platinum blonde hair.
After a while, Akito, Tech, Captain Planet, and Zadavia were ready to go. Zadavia wore something similar to what she always wore, but was in a sleeveless lavender gown with a ruby red cloak with dark purple flats, and did not wear gloves for a change. Tech wore a red beanie with blue sunglasses with a dark blue jacket, a black shirt, darker blue sweatpants, sneakers, and a golden medallion and looked like a rapper from the 1990's. Akito wore dark blue jeans with black sunglasses with a black leather jacket, a red shirt, a baseball cap, and sneakers.
"Are you coming, Captain Planet?" Zadavia called.
"Just a moment, please!" Captain Planet called back, he then came out, a red shirt that wasn't too fancy, but not too sloppy either, it also had a golden logo on it, and he had black dress pants with gray shoes. "Okay, here I am."
"Do I have an eye for fashion or what?" Eloise smiled smugly.
"You sure do, cous." Akito smiled.
"Be sure to tell my mother that." Eloise smiled innocently then.
"Have a good time." Felicity smiled to the others.
Simon gave a thumb's up, but looked stoic and frowning as always. Akito, Tech, Captain Planet, and Zadavia then went off to the concert. The others called and wished and hoped for them to have a good time. Ace and Lexi then decided to continue planning for their wedding since they had a bit of time off.
