Akito and the Loonatics: chapter 40

"This is bad, we have to find a way for Ace and the others to get their powers back." Vincent said.

"What're we gonna do?" Duck grew paranoid. "Now that he's got my powers, he's practically invincible! We're doomed! DOOMED!"

"Duck's right," Tech hated to admit it, but it seemed so. "Without powers, we're useless against him."

"That bloated fame hound's not gonna get the best of us," Ace assured. "We can take him with what we have left so the kids don't have to do this alone: Our skills!"

"Yeah!" The kids agreed.

Tech went into deep thought, then smiled once he had an idea. "You know, I could fashion some sort of body armor," he suggested. "Yes, I may have just the thing! Leave it to me!" he then zipped off to get to work.

"Did I mention we're doomed?" Duck was really scared, more than usual. "Doomed, I say."

"Will someone please tape his beak shut?" Vincent asked.

Tech set to work instantly.

"Let me see..." Felicity was in thought. "I have the vampire powers from Papa, alien blood from Maman..." she then turned to her the twins. "Akito has strength of Hercules, you and Estelle both have mermaid powers from your papa..." she then turned to Vincent. "What do you have?"

"The only thing I have is the mermaid powers from Dad." Vincent said.

Felicity nodded. "Does Tante Monique have any powers?"

"Not that we know of." Estelle shrugged.

"Yeah, all we know is she talks to animals like Dad and his family." Akito added.

"Interesting..." Felicity twirled her finger in her pigtail.

"I hope we get the same Wiccan or in this case, male wiccan powers from dad." Estelle said.

"Male Wiccan?" Felicity asked.

"A wiccan is like a witch, but someone who uses natural resources to heal people," Estelle educated. "Cousin Thorn was 1/16th one like her mother."

"Oh." Felicity was a little surprised to find that out.

"And Dad is one too." Akito added.

"He is?" Felicity wondered. "Are this Thorn's mother and his mother related?"

"Yes." Akito said.

"Here they are," Tech finally came after finishing the battle armor suits. "Ready for combat. Designed and compatible for your individual brain patterns."

Duck enjoyed his suit. "Now that's what I'm talkin' about!"

"Manner-Powered Bionic Suits," Tech told them once they were fitted into their battle armor. "Each suit has been indicted into our individual powers. Ace, yours is specially equipped with laser goggles, Rev's has accelerated wings and legs, and Lexi, an ultrasonic blast and sonic super hearing, Slam, structural jets enough to create a cosmic tornado, Duck, yours..."

Duck held out his hand and there came a pebble-sized egg sphere. "Yeah, I found it... Doomed."

"Hey, give me a break, I only had five minutes to come up with all this." Tech glanced at him.

"It'll have to do for now, right, Duck?" Vincent asked.

"I guess..." Duck shrugged.

"Well, let's jet then!" Akito called.
