Hey guys, 65 here with the first chapter of Super Louds: The Series! So, pretty much this is a continuation of the Louds' superhero adventures, following their origin story. Each chapter is actually an "episode". I'm planning about 25 "episodes" to start out with, but I'll see how it goes judging by the feedback from you guys. This means that the chapters are going to be longer than before, they're essentially mini-stories! But I hope you guys enjoy this story though. Super Louds was received very well, so I hope that same kind of support is received here.

Episode 1: All Gears Turnin'
It had been about two weeks since the Louds' had defeated Jack, in what was their first superhero mission. Royal Woods was still buzzing about their newest heroes, Super Thunder, and who their identities could possibly be. Since then, the Louds (who were Super Thunder), had been training with their powers every day using Lisa's fight simulator in her bunker she had made to withstand Luan's praks. Each of the Louds were showing remarkable improvement with the use of their powers. Through training, Lori found out that she could use the wind to help her fly, and Leni found out she could turn others invisible! Despite all these achievements, there was still one thing the Louds were lacking: teamwork. Sure, they were practicing fighting, but they never practiced together as a unit. It was almost like there was no harmony between them, which was ironic considering the evident synergy between them as a family. Lisa noticed this, and decided to issue a test to her family. A test of their teamwork.
"*taps mic* Family, may I have your attention?" asked Lisa from the command booth intercom.
The Louds suddenly stopped their practicing and looked up at the command booth Lisa was in. Well, except Lana who was confused.
"Huh? Who said that?" asked Lana obviously confused.
"Uh, *taps mic once more* up here." said Lisa, emphasizing her presence once more.
"Oh." said Lana in response.
"Right. So, I've been monitoring our heroic performances these past weeks, and I'm proud to say that we've improved by at least 80 percent." said Lisa.
"Woohoo! Alright! +1 for Super Thunder!" said Lynn hyped.
"However, there is one category we're severely lacking in, and I've designed a test to test it." said Lisa.
"What are we testing?" asked Lori.
"I cannot relay that information to you at this time. It'll ruin the test results." said Lisa.
"Heeey! How come you're not taking this test with us?" asked Lola.
"Someone has to record the results. Begin!" said Lisa, as she pressed a large green button on the panel in front of her. Suddenly, a giant version of Trashy (Lisa's trash monster from the episode Chore and Peace), was simulated on the "battlefield". It was test time.
"Ewww! Not that thing again!" exclaimed Lola disgusted.
"Hmph! This'll be easy!" said Lynn, as she ran ahead of everyone and punched Trashy in his "stomach". Her punch didn't affect Trashy at all. In fact, her fist just got stuck in Trashy actually.
"Don't worry Lynn Jr.! I'll save you!" exclaimed Lynn Sr., as he stretched his arm out in an attempt to pull Lynn free, but ended up getting stuck too. "Aw shoot! Now I'm stuck!" said Lynn Sr.
"Don't worry daddio! No one can resist the jams!" said Luna, as she strummed her guitar, releasing a shockwave that actually blasted Trashy apart. "Ya see? Told you!" said Luna.
"Yeah, but I'm not so sure it worked Luna." said Lincoln, pointing out that Trashy had actually just been split apart into 6 medium sized versions.
"Oh great, now there's more!" exclaimed Lola.
"Okay Louds, don't lose your heads. There's 12 of us here, so that means 2 of us could-" Lynn Sr. was cut off as Lola pretty much lost it and went berserk with her fire powers on the closest Trashy.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" exclaimed Lola, assaulting the Trashy with fire blasts. The Trashy was pretty pissed at this point, and was about to attack Lola, when Lana literally slid in.
"Lola!" exclaimed Lana, as she slid forward using her ice powers, and moved her sister out the way.
The attack that the Trashy prepared was now coming towards Leni, but she went intangible at the last second.
"*sighs* I got this." said Lori, as she blasted the Trashy apart once more with a gust of wind. It worked, but it flung the remnants of Trashy all over Lola.
"EWWWW!" exclaimed Lola.
"Oops." said Lori, slightly embarrassed.
"This thing is not gonna make me look bad!" said Lynn, as she ran forward once more and began furiously attacking the trash monster.
"Lynn! Your punches don't work on that thing remember?" said Lincoln,trying to reason with his sister.
"Nonsense! This thing's going down!"
Just as Lynn said that, the monster knocked her back with a powerful backhand slap. Luckily, Rita caught her daughter by shape shifting into a baseball glove.
"Alright! That's enough! No one hurts my sisters!" said Lincoln, charging up an electro-ball.
"Lincoln! Wait!" warned Lucy, but it was too late. Lincoln blasted the Trashy with the electro-ball, but it seemed to do nothing, or so it appeared. Suddenly, Trashy shot out electrified metal cans at Lincoln, faster than even he could dodge. Luckily, Lucy saw the metal cans ahead of time, and was prepared to stop them using her telekinesis.
"Thanks Luce." said Lincoln.
"No problem bro." said Lucy.
This moment was suddenly interrupted by the Trashy lashing out at them. They both evaded the attack, and then found themselves huddled in the middle, with the others. They were now down to 5 Trashies.
"I can't believe we've only defeated one of these things." said Lori.
"Yeah, thanks a lot for that Lori." said Lola, bringing up the past trash incident. Lori frowned.
"Hey guys! I think I have a solution!" said Luan.
"It better not be a joke dude." said Luna.
"Nope. It's how we're gonna get outta here! Brace yourselves for Light Show!" said Luan, as she started to glow bright yellow, and then released an energy wave that completely wiped out the rest of the Trashies.
"Alright Luan! You did it!" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, she did it alright. I think I got a cut from a tuna can, when she blasted those scumbags apart." said Lynn.
Just then, Lily crawled forward and placed her hand on Lynn's cut. Within seconds, the cut was healed.
"Aww! Thanks Lily!" said Lynn, in a baby voice.
"So, did we pass the test?" asked Lana curious.
"Negative." said Lisa, as she came onto the "battlefield" from a door.
"How did we fail?" asked Lori.
"Well let's see. There was a lack of communication between all of you, extreme pride evident in Luna and Lynn, a lone wolf display shown by Lola, I mean the list goes on!" said Lisa.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up. What was this test even about anyway dude?" asked Luna.
"This was a test to test your teamwork skills. As a superhero team this is extremely important. If there's no unity between us, on the actual battlefield, the consequences are gonna be even worse than just a tiny cut or getting trashed on." said Lisa.
"But what are you talking about? We work together!" said Lynn.
"Yeah Lisa! We're a team!" said Lincoln.
"Yeah, we're a "team", but we don't act like one. Think about it. Had you guys listened to our father's battle plan, this fight would've turned out much differently. 2 of you on each Trashy would've meant that each Trashy would've been covered. You guys would've had them beat in no time. Instead, Ms. Fiery Passion here had to ignite the flame, which set off a chain of disunited actions that ended up with a very clutched result." said Lisa.
"But we still saved the day." said Luan.
"No Luan. You saved the day. And that's the whole point. We can't always get the glory for ourselves. As heroes working together, sometimes we have to receive the glory as a unit. But if we continue on the path we're on right now, we'll never be a synchronized unit." said Lisa.
"Well, last time I checked this wasn't synchronized swimming." said Lori.
"Yeah dude. We're fine! It's not such a big deal!" said Luna.
"Um, I have to wash my hands!" said Leni, in a distressed tone.
"Me first!" exclaimed Lola, as she made a dash for the exit, with the rest of the Louds behind her.
Lisa just shook her head at the display. Then she felt something touch her foot. It was Lily.
"Oh Lily. Did they forget you? Shows how good of teammates they are." said Lisa, as she made her way for the exit as well with Lily. She strongly believed that right now, if her family received an emergency, they would not be ready (as a team that is).
Later that night, in downtown Royal Woods, employees were getting ready to knock off work at Tools n' Tidbits, a hardware store. It sold everything from tools, to parts, to building materials, you name it! Just as they were taking the day's inventory, and tidying up a bit, a man wearing a large trench coat, shades and a fedora, strolled into the store, kind of suspiciously.
"Hey, sorry man. We're closed." said one of the male employees.
"Oh? That's too bad. I just needed one thing." said the mysterious man.
"I guess we could squeeze you in. What is it?" said the female employee.
Suddenly, the man discarded his trench coat, shades, and fedora, revealing a fairly old man, looking to be in his late 40s to early 50s, wearing a belt with all sorts of contraptions hooked on it. He then unhooked what looked like a bb gun, but instead of shooting pellets, it shot out a net, that enlarged once it was released from the barrel, and it captured the three employees in front of him.
"Hey! What the heck man?!" said the other male employee.
"Sorry. Can't have you young'uns getting in my way. Now where are the micro gears?" asked the old man sinisterly.
Meanwhile at Royal Woods PD, the Chief was going over his recent case files, and when he came upon the case of Jack, he smiled a bit. He was relieved that Super Thunder was able to defeat him and his goons, and he knew that if the force ever needed their help again, he could count on them. Little did he know, that he was about to enact on that thought.
"Chief! We just got a call of a supposed armed robbery of sorts at Tools n' Tidbits. But this is a weird case. The assailant doesn't appear to be armed by conventional means." said Assistant Chief Peters, who had barged into the Chief's office suddenly.
"Hmm...Unconventional means unusual, and unusual means we've got a new villain in Royal Woods. I'm calling in Super Thunder! They can get there much faster than we can!" said the Chief.
"Right sir. I'll deploy some squad cars immediately." said Peters, as he left the room in a haste.
Meanwhile back at the Loud House, the Louds were all having dinner, talking about various things. But not one of them was talking about the elephant in the room: their sub-par teamwork skills. The rest of the Louds (besides Lily) were pretty offended by Lisa's statement that they couldn't work together as a team. But the statistics didn't lie, and Lisa knew her family would not be ready to handle a real emergency if it suddenly came. Suddenly, Lisa got a vision of the future, that would make her live out her worst fears of that day.
"*cellphone rings* Hang on a second honey. Hello?" said Lynn Sr., answering his phone.
"Heya! Is this Mr. Thunder?" asked the Chief.
"It's Mr. Elastic actually. What's up Chief?" asked Lynn Sr.
"We've got a robbery in progress at Tools n' Tidbits. Apparently, there's an old geezer in there wreaking havoc. Can you and the rest of Super Thunder put a stop to it?" said the Chief.
"Of course we can Chief! We'll be right there!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"Excellent! I'll be seeing you!" said the Chief, as he ended the call.
"Alright gang! We gotta roll! There's a robbery going on at the hardware store. Super Thunder, let's move!" said Lynn Sr.
"Alright! Our second superhero mission! Woohoo!" exclaimed Lynn, as she and the others ran to their rooms to put on their superhero outfits.
A couple of minutes later, they were all suited up, and ready to roll. Lisa had added a stealth covering to their van, so that when they went on a mission, it looked completely different. It was now tyrian purple (really dark shade of purple), with the windows being a scarlet tint. They were ready for action! Well, at least Lisa hoped they were.
Back at Tools n' Tidbits, the old man had pretty much trapped every employee in the store. As he reached the steel parts section, to look for the gears, he was met by a "surprise attack" from an employee.
"*flicks a staple off him* Really? A staple gun. That was the best you could do?" asked the old man, mocking the employee's weapon choice.
"Well uh..I-" The employee was cut off by the same net attack that trapped the employees at the front of the store.
"Now. Let's get down to business." said the old man, as he stepped over the trapped employee, and scanned the shelves in front of him until he found what he was looking for, micro gears to complete a contraption of his. Only thing was they were really high up, and this man wasn't exactly the tallest. Normally in hardware stores, when a customer needed help getting something, an employee would help them. But since that obviously wasn't an option he needed another plan.
"Hmm...Note to self, build a grapple gun when I get back home." said the old man.
"You're not going back home crook! You're going to jail!" exclaimed Lincoln, as he suddenly appeared from one of the ceiling lights.
"Whoa! Nice effects! Hey, how'd you do that without one of those fancy TV screens?" asked the old man.
"What are you talking about? I'm Lightning! I have electric powers!" said Lincoln.
"Powers?! Pfft! I don't need those! I make my own stuff! Wanna see?" said the old man, as he pulled out a metal collar, only for it to be smashed on the ground, by Lucy's mind.
"No! Ol' Carol! You'll pay for that!" said the old man, now angry.
"I think not." said Lynn Sr., as he had stretched his arm out and placed his hand on the man's shoulder.
"Hmph. You don't tell me what to do!" said the old man, as he released a rope trap from his utility belt that captured Lynn Sr., and sprang him back a few feet.
"Honey! Are you okay?" asked Rita.
"I'm fine! Super Thunder attack!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"Wait! Shouldn't we know how-" Lisa was cut off as all of her siblings attacked the man at the same time.
"You're not gonna get away with this dude!" said Luna, trying to keep him pinned.
"Yeah! We got him pinned real good! There's no way he's getting out of this!" said Lynn confidently.
"Wait. Did you guys hear that?" asked Lucy, as suddenly, all the Louds were pushed off the man by his boxing glove attachments.
"Ow! That one hit my groin!" said Lincoln in pain.
"As I was saying, we should've had a strategy before we ran in like this." said Lisa.
"Screw strategies! We got this chump!" said Lori, as he blasted the man back into the shelf with a powerful wind gust. Upon his impact with the shelf, a ladder at the very top was dropped right next to him.
"Oh! Well, this is my lucky day! Now I can get up there!" said the old man.
"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Lincoln, as he shot out an electric rope, targeted for the man's ankle, but it had no effect.
"Ha! I know who you are kid! After I saw how you took down that young'un uh...what's his name?...Oh yeah! Jack! I went ahead and made myself a rubber suit! Absolutely electric proof!" said the old man, as he laughed at Lincoln's futile attempt.
"Alright, that's it!" said Lynn, as she charged at the old man.
"No Powerhouse! Wait!" shouted Lisa, as she foresaw the events that would happen if Lynn charged at the man, and they didn't look good. As Lynn approached, at the last second, the man moved out the way, and Lynn's fist collided with the shelf instead. This time, the micro gears the man needed dropped down as a result of the impact.
"Jackpot!" said the old man, as he rushed over and pocketed the micro gears. "Oh yeah! These'll do nicely! Well uh, it's been nice knowin' you, whoever you are. I've got some tinkering to do!" said the old man, as he started to race out the store, but was stopped by Rita. She had shape shifted into a huge dragon.
"You're not going anywhere! Unhand those gears!" commanded Rita.
"Oh please!" said the old man, as he deployed a stink bomb that filled the hardware store with noxious gas. Rita and the other Louds started coughing and gagging from the fumes, as the man made his escape.
15 minutes later, the police showed up at the scene. As one of the police officers opened the door, he immediately regretted it as the stink from the bomb was finally released from its enclosed space.
"Um...*coughs* I wouldn't advise going in there right now Chief." said the police officer who opened the door, looking rather ill.
"Nonsense! We have to go in! There could be hostages!" said the Chief.
"Maybe we could wait for the smell to dissipate a bit sir." said Asst. Chief Peters.
Just then, the smell was blown out of the store by a huge rush of wind. Lori then emerged, coughing, but not seriously sick.
"Oh! You guys are here! Did you catch him?" asked the Chief eagerly.
"Um, no sir. We didn't. He got away." said Lori, quite disappointed in herself.
"Oh I see. Well, no one's perfect. I'm sure you at least kept everyone safe." said the Chief, trying to be optimistic.
"Wait! Don't run! It wasn't our fault!" exclaimed Leni, as she watched most of the employees flee the store, due to the horrible smell.
Lori then looked back at the Chief with a 'This is literally embarrassing' smile.
Back at the Loud House, there were major arguments in process.
"It was your fault he got away!" exclaimed Lana.
"How was I supposed to know he would move?" said Lynn, trying to defend herself.
"That's literally the same thing Jack did to you at the power plant. You always do that Lynn." said Lori.
"No I don't!" said Lynn.
"Yes you do dude! You always charge ahead of us whenever we're practicing! Heck, that's what you did this morning! Fists don't match wits brah." said Luna.
"Oh what would you know, Ms. 'Jams solve everything!'" said Lynn, as she mocked Luna, all while mimicking her with an air guitar.
"Cut it out dude!" said Luna, ticked off.
"Make me!" taunted Lynn.
Luna was about to clobber Lynn, when Lincoln stepped in to separate them.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Time out guys! There's no need to fight! Look, we can't blame any single person for this." said Lincoln.
"You're absolutely right Lincoln. Each of us is to blame." said Lisa.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed the rest of the Louds.
"Once again, we didn't work together. I mean, look at the display in there! No co-ordination, no communication, just jumbled ideas and actions mixed into this mess you call a team. Now look, you can ignore this if you want, but the reason we were defeated tonight is because we had no unity. Everyone has to work together in order to run a TEAM. And there's no I in there at all." said Lisa, as she left the rest of the Louds in shock, as she ascended up the stairs to her room.
The next afternoon, the final bell rang at Royal Woods Middle School, and all the kids rushed out of there in a heartbeat. Luan and Lynn had met up after their final classes and were talking about the events of last night.
"I mean, it wasn't my fault! I was just trying to make sure the guy didn't get away! Time is important you know!" said Lynn, trying to justify her position.
"Yeah, I get it but, after thinking about what Lisa said, we really didn't have a plan." said Luan.
"Okay! So, we didn't have a plan. Fine! There's nothing wrong with winging it!" said Lynn.
"Maybe with a football game, or whatever but, we're talking about people that could've been hurt last night Lynn! That's no time to be winging it!" said Luan.
Just then, the two of them heard car honking and screaming coming from downtown.
"Yeah, well I wouldn't be Lynn if I didn't wing it! I'll see you later!" said Lynn as she raced off from her older sister.
"Wait! Lynn! Oh, why does she keep doing that?!" said Luan.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the street, the old man from last night, was blocking traffic. This time, he had on an elaborate metal walker, with mechanical arms attached to it. These arms could be rotated by the micro gears he stole last night.
"*honks car horn* Get out the road!" yelled a male driver.
"Yeah, you old coot!" yelled a female driver.
"Maybe I would move, if you were a bit nicer. Plus, that's not my name!" said the old man.
"Then what is your name?" asked Lynn, now in her superhero attire.
"Oh! Little missy! Ain't this a surprise! Where's your family?" asked the old man.
"None of your business! And don't call me Little Missy! The name's Powerhouse! Now, what's your name?!" asked Lynn, fed up with this guy at this point.
"Well, it would be rude of me not to tell you, so here it is! My name's Vintage Gadget! Hahahaha!" said Vintage Gadget.
"What's your plan man?" asked Lynn, slightly disturbed.
"Nothing! I just got bored at home! I'm a handyman, so I just built these here contraptions you see here! I'm just gonna test them and see what they can do! Like this!" said Vintage Gadget, as he pressed a button that shot out a grappling hook, that broke the glass of a shop nearby. "Haha! Told you I'd make that grappling hook!" said Vintage Gadget.
"Well now I'm gonna make you regret showing your face in this town!" exclaimed Lynn, as she lunged at the old geezer and landed on his metal walker.
"Shoo! Shoo! Ain't no place for girlies on my inventions! Git!" said Vintage Gadget, as he directed the metal arms at the front of his walker to fling Lynn off of it.
Lynn went flying through the air, but was saved by...a hand?
"Gotcha!" said Lynn Sr., as he rescued his daughter by the use of his extended limbs.
"Looks like Dad just gave you a HAND Powerhouse." said Luan.
"How'd you guys know where I was?" asked Lynn confused.
"The Light Show ran home and told us." said Lincoln.
"And then I called Mom and Dad to let them know." said Lori.
"By the way, I need to make a more efficient communication link between us. But that's a side note." said Lisa.
"Yeah, but on a main note, what were you thinking dude?!" asked Luna concerned.
"You could've been seriously hurt sweetie!" said Rita.
"I know. I'm sorry. It was dumb. Truth is, I know I'm not exactly a team player all the time. I just wanna be the one who wins!" said Lynn.
"But that's just it Lynn! We all realized that when we work together, we ALL win. As a team." said Lincoln.
"A team?" asked Lynn.
The other Louds nodded their heads 'yes'.
"Yeah, you're right! A team! And it's time I start acting like I'm apart of one! Super Thunder! What's our plan?" said Lynn.
"I'm glad you asked." said Lisa.
Vintage Gadget wasn't even paying attention, when he was blindsided by Lynn Sr. and Rita's couple combo. Lynn stretched his arm out as a distraction, while Rita had shape shifted into a screwdriver, and unscrewed two of the bolts on the walker's right leg. The walker then leaned to the right side, which caught Vintage off guard. Before he had a chance to escape, Lana quickly froze his remaining legs in place, and the other Louds formed a tight circle around him.
"Guess my fun's over then." said Vintage Gadget, like this whole thing was a game. Which it probably was to him. The police showed up a couple minutes later, and arrested Vintage Gadget. They also took his walker and gadgets in as evidence.
"Thank you Super Thunder! I guess you did catch that geezer after all huh?" said the Chief.
"Yes we did Chief, because we worked together as a team." said Lynn Sr., as his family nodded in agreement with his statement.
"Haha! A super family! You guys are very unique to Royal Woods! Well, take care! I gotta go process this guy." said the Chief, pointing at Vintage.
"Alright! See you later Chief! Super Thunder, what do you say we go home and get some dinner!" said Lynn Sr.
"YAY!" exclaimed the Loud kids, as they raced to the van.
"What are you cooking for dinner honey?" asked Rita.
"I'm not sure. I'll wing it." said Lynn Sr.
"At least we know where Lynn gets it from." said Rita, as she and her husband walked toward the van, where their kids were waiting.
Phew! Alright, there's the first episode of what should hopefully be a series you guys enjoy. Let me know what you thought of this episode, and I hope that it wasn't too long to read. Thanks for reading anyway, and until next time, I've been 65! Peace!
