Hey guys. It's 65rogeryork. On November 12th, 2018, we lost someone very special to the superhero world. The great legend himself, Stan Lee. For those who may not know, Stan Lee was an active comic book writer and creator for Marvel Comics.
Now, this episode wasn't planned, but I felt that I should write it as a tribute to Stan Lee. This is Super Louds: The Series presents Royal Avengers. I hope you all enjoy this episode and just a heads up, it's going to be split into a few parts.
NB: Parts of this episode were inspired by a review I received a while back. To whoever sent me it, if you recognize your ideas in here, you can let me know in a review and I'll shout you out! Thank you!
Also, I feel like I should mention that this is somewhat of a parody of The Avengers. Think of it as a mesh between my heroes, Super Thunder, and The Avengers.
Okay. Here we go. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome.

Super Louds: The Series - Royal Avengers Part 1
It was midday on a Saturday in Royal Woods, and some of the Royal Avengers were on a mission to retrieve a stolen artifact from an enemy location.
"Falconette, what's it looking like up there?" asked Captain Elastic (Lynn Sr.), via communicator.
"It's quiet right now. Not much activity. I'd still keep your guard up though. The Chief said Frasier and his guys are crafty." said Falconette (Lori).
"I think we should just go in." said Power Hawk (Lynn).
"Not yet Hawk. Let's wait for our intel." said Captain Elastic.
Suddenly, Rad Panther buzzed in with some information.
"Yo dudes, there's something going down on the east side. (to Leni) Blondie, where are you right now?" asked Rad Panther (Luna).
"I'm right around the corner from their lab I think. I just saw a bunch of doctors walk out of a room." said Blonde Widow (Leni).
"Scientists." said Super Vision (Lisa), correcting her.
"Hey, they both have white coats!" said Blonde Widow defending herself.
"Come on guys! Focus! Widow, can you sneak in there and see what's going on?" asked Captain Elastic.
"I'm totes on it Captain." said Blonde Widow, as she activated her light refractors (made by Lisa), to bend the light waves around her, making her invisible.
"Okay everyone. Stay on high alert. Just in case we need to-Wait. Where's Power Hawk?" asked Captain Elastic frantic.
"I see her Captain. She's trying to get in from the west side. *gasps* She's about to run right past a camera!" said Falconette.
"Dang it! Falconette, what are the coordinates?" asked Captain Elastic.
"44 degrees North, 86 degrees West." said Falconette, reading from the built-in compass in her goggles.
"I'm on it." said Captain Elastic, as he grabbed his shield from off his back, and threw it in a path aimed directly at the camera Power Hawk was about to run by.
"*sees sparks above her head and flinches; then sees shield drop to the ground* What the?-"
"That was dangerous Hawk. You almost compromised the whole mission!" said Captain Elastic, as he stretched over to where Power Hawk was.
"Sorry Cap, but it's boring being the lookout! I wanna be where the action is!" said Power Hawk.
Just as she said this, Blonde Widow radioed in frantically.
"Um, guys? I'm totes in trouble! I got the artifact but I accidentally bumped into one of the guys and they found me... I need help in here!" said Blonde Widow.
"Say no more!" said Power Hawk, as she punched through a wall, and darted inside.
"Power Hawk! *groans* Panther, can you meet up with Widow and assist her? I'm going after Power Hawk!" said Captain Elastic.
"You got it Captain!" said Rad Panther.
She then used her vibranium claws to send out a shock wave that shattered the window in front of her. She leaped inside and then sprinted off to assist Blonde Widow.
"Vision. You and Falconette keep a lookout. Let us know of any sudden moves." said Captain Elastic.
"Will do." said Super Vision.
"Got it!" said Falconette.
With that, Captain Elastic sprinted off after Power Hawk.
Meanwhile, Blonde Widow was doing her best to fight off the scientists.
"There are like, too many of you guys!" said Blonde Widow, doing her best to duck, dodge, and defend.
Just then, a loud growl was heard outside the laboratory.
"What was that?" asked one of the scientists startled.
Without warning, a massive shock wave rippled through the laboratory, knocking everyone off their feet.
"Yo! That was rockin! Blondie, you in here?" asked Rad Panther.
"*appears behind her* Right behind you!" said Blonde Widow.
"Ahh! Don't do that!" said Rad Panther.
"Sorry! That was totes cool though. Look! I got the artifact!" said Blonde Widow, displaying the artifact.
It was a ice blue sphere surrounded by a metal cube frame.
"Great. Now let's get out of here!" said Rad Panther, as she started to sprint off, but was stopped by Blonde Widow.
"Wait! Can we take a selfie first?" said Blonde Widow, pulling out her phone.
"Ugh! Come on!" said Rad Panther, as she pulled Blonde Widow out the room.
Meanwhile, Power Hawk had found herself in quite the predicament.
"*taking cover from gunfire behind a box* I guess this is what Cap was talking about when he said it's not always good to rush in." said Power Hawk.
She peered over the top of the box only to duck down again to dodge an incoming shot.
"Oh man! I've gotta get out of here!" said Power Hawk.
Suddenly, a shield came out of nowhere and rippled through the fray, knocking everyone out. At the same time, Captain Elastic stretched himself along the ground to be able to catch his shield as it knocked out its last victim.
"Cap!" exclaimed Power Hawk.
"Hawk." said Captain Elastic sternly.
Power Hawk knew what that tone of voice meant. She was in trouble.
"Look Cap, I'm sorry but-"
She was suddenly cut off by incoming gunfire from an upper walkway. She rolled out the way at the last second and sprinted over to Captain Elastic.
"Stay behind me Hawk!" said Captain Elastic, as he blocked most of the bullets with his shield.
On the back end, Power Hawk began shooting arrows above, trying to take out the enemies.
"Ugh! There's too much of 'em!" said Power Hawk.
"We might need to call for backup..." said Captain Elastic.
"It's already here!" exclaimed Rad Panther, as she jumped into the fight, and started clawing the gunmen one by one.
"Alright Panther!" said Power Hawk.
Power Hawk once again had lost focus, and didn't see that a gunman was aiming right at her. Luckily, Captain Elastic noticed and threw his shield at him. However, the gunman was taken out before his shield could hit.
"*sees his shield get stuck in the wall* What the heck?!"
"*suddenly appears* You totes almost hit me Lastie! You're lucky I have fast reflexes. *pulls shield out of wall* Here's your shield back!" said Blonde Widow, as she tossed his shield back to him.
As this was going on, Rad Panther had pretty much cleared out the rest of the bad guys.
"Wow. I was expecting more. It's like they're not trying anymore." said Rad Panther.
"Yeah, and that worries me. *turns on his communicator* Falconette, any activity going on outside?" asked Captain Elastic.
"Yes! Frasier and his men are leaving!" exclaimed Falconette.
"And they have the artifact!" exclaimed Super Vision, chiming in.
"What?!" exclaimed Rad Panther, Captain Elastic, and Power Hawk.
"No they don't! I have the artifact right here! See!" said Blonde Widow.
As soon as she made that statement, the artifact's spherical core started to lose its glow, and it broke apart in her hands.
*Blonde Widow gasps*
"It's a fake!" said Power Hawk.
"Of course! They set us up!...Falconette, where are they right now?" asked Captain Elastic.
"They've already left the camp. Do you want me to follow them?" asked Falconette.
"No, it's okay." said Captain Elastic.
"Pops! I mean, Captain!" said Rad Panther.
"Guys, let's face it! We're outmatched here! We need to regroup and come back with our whole team." said Captain Elastic.
"The Chief isn't gonna be happy about this..." said Power Hawk.
"Yeah, well, don't you worry. I can handle Nick. Come on, let's get back to the Avenge Rover." said Captain Elastic, as he and his girls made their way towards the exit.
Meanwhile at Flip's Food n Fuel...
"So, how can I help you two?" asked Flip.
"We'd like two Blueberry Burst Flippies please!" said Clyde.
"Well, I'd be happy to give 'em to ya, but I can't!" said Flip.
"Why not?" asked Lincoln.
"Cause the ol' Flippy machine is broke! Hey Seth! You almost done fixin' that thing?" asked Flip.
"Uh, almost boss! *tightens a screw* Just have to test it." said Seth.
"Well hurry up and test it! I've got customers waitin'!" said Flip.
Seth put the lid of the machine back on and turned it on. Almost immediately the machine started sputtering, and without warning the lid rocketed off the machine, sending a flood of Flippie juice everywhere.
"Aw dang it! Look what you did Seth! Do you know how long that's gonna take to clean up?!" said Flip, now more angry.
"Uh, I'm sorry sir. I, I thought I fixed it!" said Seth.
"Well it's clear you ain't no expert mechanic. I'm going to my office. Have this mess cleaned up by the time I get back." said Flip, leaving to his office.
"Uh, yes sir." said Seth, who flinched at the sound of Flip slamming his office door closed.
"Gee Seth, you sure have a hard time here huh?" asked Clyde.
"It's not that bad. Really!" said Seth, starting to clean up the mess.
"You can be honest with us Seth. We've worked here before. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park." said Lincoln.
"Yeah, we know Flip isn't the nicest guy. You know, my therapist Dr. Lopez says it's not good to hold your feelings in. It'll only make you feel worse." said Clyde, offering advice.
"Well, it's just, I've only been working here for a week and the guy hasn't given me a break! I mean, I'm trying my best! I don't even know how to fix a Flippie machine!" said Seth, throwing a Flippie cup in anger.
"It's okay Seth. We get it." said Lincoln.
"Yeah, don't even worry about the Flippie. It's fine." said Clyde.
"You know, you can always quit if you don't like the job." said Lincoln.
"I can't quit. At least not yet. I have to make money somehow. Flip's the only guy in town who would hire a 15 year old!" said Seth.
"Well, a word of advice, don't act like a pushover." said Clyde.
"Yeah, Flip's not so tough. Me and Clyde showed him who was boss before we quit!" said Lincoln, high-fiving Clyde.
"Really? What'd you guys do?" asked Seth curious.
"We made him clean the bathroom." said Clyde.
Seth stayed silent, unsure of where to go with that statement.
"Have you cleaned the bathroom here before?" asked Lincoln.
"No. What's so bad about it?" asked Seth.
"Unless you want your nose hairs to disintegrate, nothing at all!" said Lincoln.
"Oh. I got you." said Seth, going back to cleaning up the mess.
"Alright, well, I guess we better be going. Come on Clyde." said Lincoln.
They were about to leave when Seth stopped them.
"Wait guys! Here." said Seth, as he held two Flippies out to them.
"W-What's this?" asked Lincoln, taking the Flippie.
"Uh, it's sort of a mix of every Flippie flavor in the machine. I tried to get the most of Blueberry Burst as I possibly could. Those are free. It's me thanking you for the advice you gave me." said Seth.
"Really?! You didn't have to do that Seth!" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, money's no object!" said Clyde.
"It's fine guys. I want you to have them." said Seth.
"Really Seth, we-"
Lincoln was cut off by an incoming message on his PortAvenge pendant. His family had to report to Royal Woods PD for a meeting.
"Uh...you know what? Thanks Seth! We appreciate it man!" said Lincoln, turning to leave.
"Yeah, uh...see you later!" said Clyde, following behind his best friend.
As soon as they left, Flip came out of his office, becoming angry again upon seeing the mess still on the floor.
"Seth! What are you doing?! Why are you just standing there?!" said Flip angrily.
"Hey sorry Flip. I was just dealing with the customers." said Seth.
"Yeah, well, I guess you did something right. But that machine don't look like it's fixed." said Flip.
"Oh, well, it isn't. I just kinda scooped every flavor together and gave it to them." said Seth.
"I hope you charged them extra!" said Flip, with a laugh.
However, when Seth didn't laugh back Flip started to get concerned.
"What?...You, you did make them pay right? Where's the money?" asked Flip.
"There is none. I gave it to them free." said Seth.
"What?! In all my years of business I ain't never given anything away for free! Not even gum! Seth, you messes up son. I can't have you out here giving out freebies." said Flip.
"What are you trying to say?" asked Seth.
"You're fired. Donezo. I'll find someone else who can actually work around here. Look, you didn't even clean up the mess I asked you to clean!" said Flip.
"I was trying, but that's a big mess Flip!" said Seth.
"Yeah. Caused by you. Just get out Seth." said Flip.
"You know what? Fine. I don't need this job anyway! I..I quit!" exclaimed Seth.
"Good riddance." said Flip, opening up a newspaper.
"And I'm taking a Flippie to go!" said Seth, as he scooped up some Flippie juice into a cup, and put a lid on it.
"Whatever." said Flip, not caring.
The only thing Seth failed to realize is that where he had scooped the Flippie juice from had seeped under a box of Lisa's unstable chemicals. (She had made an exchange with Flip in Come Sale Away.)
Seth took a sip of the Flippie and immediately caught a massive brainfreeze. He suddenly felt extremely cold, and was numb to everything else around him.
"What are you still doing here kid? Get out!" said Flip, not even looking up from his paper.
"I-I *groans in pain*"
"Alright, what's going on h-"
Flip stopped mid-sentence as he was shocked by what he saw. In front of him was Seth hunched over on the ground, although now his skin was literally made out of ice.
"Whoa kid! What's going on with you?" asked Flip nervously.
"*panting heavily* You...You did this to me! Was-Was that expired Flippie juice?!" asked Seth enraged.
"Hey I'm not the most lawful businessman, but I ain't stupid! I already got locked up for selling expired stuff! That's a huge accusation right there!" said Flip.
Seth didn't answer. Instead, he just stood there, seething with rage. All the times Flip had been mean to him in the past started to resurface, and then he remembered Lincoln and Clyde's advice.
"You-You think you can just walk all over me huh? You think I'm a pushover?!" asked Seth, getting closer to Flip.
"Hey, easy kid-"
"NO! I'm done taking crap from you! It's time for some payback!" said Seth, as he felt some energy forming from his palms.
"Hey now, what are you doing there?" asked Flip, backing up from Seth.
Seth kept inching closer, while charging his ice energy.
"Hey, no! Stay back! I mean it! What do you want kid? I'll-I'll give you a free corn dog! They're only one month old!" said Flip.
That was the last straw for Seth. He lost it and began launching an ice bomb assault at Flip.
"AAAAHHHH!" screamed Flip, as Seth showed no mercy.
Meanwhile at Royal Woods PD...
"You lost it?! Dang it! I should've known!" said Nick Barnes (The Chief).
"I'm sorry Nick! We thought we would catch them by surprise, but apparently they were ready for us." said Captain Elastic.
"A plausible theory considering they had the idea to set up a fake artifact to deter us from the real one." said Super Vision.
"*sighs* Who am I kidding? You guys were doomed to fail from the start." said Nick.
"What are you talking about Chief?" asked Iron Glacier (Lana).
"I haven't been entirely honest with you all about this mission. The artifact in question is called the KinetiCore. It was designed to enhance a meta's elemental abilities." said Nick.
"Wait. So the artifact feeds off of energy?" asked Shifting Witch (Rita).
"Yes. Any energy to be precise. Which is why I didn't want any of the Avengers with elemental powers to go in there. As you all know, Frasier and I were partners under G.U.A.R.D. (Great Unified Active Royal Defense). We were the organization's top spies at the time and so those in charge trusted us with the confidential stuff." said Nick.
"I guess that confidential thing was the KinetiCore?" asked Power Hawk.
"That's right. They had just finished the prototype and from the moment they showed us, Frasier was enamored with it. When he found out what it could do, he wanted to test it out for himself." said Nick.
"Wait. Does he have powers?" asked Storm Strike (Lincoln).
"No, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. He's determined to activate the artifact somehow. He wants to create his own bioweapon." said Nick.
"So, basically he's trying to enslave another meta?" asked Shining Marvel (Luan).
"Yes. As I said before, the KinetiCore is only a prototype. Frasier stole it before it finished development. Thus, a deactivation mechanism was never made for it, meaning that whoever activates it gets stuck with it forever." said Nick.
"Ooh. This isn't good." said Shifting Witch.
"Yeah, it's not. Avengers, I need you all to stay on high alert. I know you all are very capable but Frasier's crafty as I've said. All he needs is one little energy source and BOOM! The KinetiCore is activated." said Nick.
"Don't worry Nick, we'll stay on high alert." said Captain Elastic.
"It would help if we knew his new location." said Super Vision.
"Maybe we do! Remember Vision? My goggles have a built in camera in them! And I saw the direction Frasier and his men were headed!" said Falconette.
"Okay. I'm going to need to review those tapes." said Super Vision.
Just then, Asst. Chief Peters came bursting in the room.
"Avengers! You're needed at Flip's Food n Fuel. Quickly!" said Peters.
"What happened?" asked Spider Flare (Lola).
"Flip's store was attacked. From what was described, it looks like a new meta has surfaced." said Peters.
Everyone looked wide-eyed at each other and knew that this situation was about to get a whole lot worse.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the outskirts of Royal Woods...
"Boss. You wanted to see me?" asked a shadowy figure.
"Yes. You heard the news?" asked the boss, not facing the figure, but instead the back of his chair was.
"Yeah. Some store owner got attacked. Sayin' there's ice everywhere." said the shadowy figure.
"Exactly. You know what this means?...We've found our meta. Round up the boys. We're going on a search." said the boss.
"Yes sir." said the shadowy figure, as he left the boss' room.
The boss then pulled out a phone and made a call.
"Hey. Keep better tabs on them next time. They almost caught us today!" said the boss.
"My bad. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I'm doing the best I can." said the person on the phone.
"Hey, watch it kid. You don't wanna get on my bad side." said the boss.
"I thought I already was." said the person on the phone.
"You little-"
"Anyway, I'm gonna end this converstion because I know the readers are getting annoyed reading these vague names. Bye! (to the readers) Oh. And my name is DeadBowl by the way guys." said DeadBowl, as he ended the conversation.
*hang up tone*
"...Who was he talking to?" asked the boss to himself, confused.
And that ends part 1 of SLTS: Royal Avengers. I hope you all are enjoying the story so far, and feel free to let me know what you think of it. I'm still going to be updating my main Super Louds series though so don't worry. To end this, I just want us all to remember Stan Lee. This man was an integral part of creating many of our childhoods, and he will be missed. Thank you all for reading, and until next time, I've been 65. Peace.
