Author's Notes: So, here I am, with a story where I give my own twist on what the Loud siblings' powers would be. I originally had this written somewhere 2 years ago, but I found that to be a little lacking in terms of structuring as a whole. Here's the rewrite, done last year.
Last minute shoehorn: I did this because I realized, a little too late, that with everything I had planned for First Impact, I will not attract any attention as I am now. All this time I've been dreaming too big, subsequently failing to see that without others knowing of what I do, my potential, who am I?
Anyway, why don't you fellas dive in now?
The Power House
A young boy quietly tiptoed his way to the top of a small staircase leading to a door, before leaning against a nearby wall as he cautiously scanned his surroundings for any signs of abnormalities. Once he made sure that the path was clear for him, he reached out for the doorknob.
Without losing his guard and still practicing caution, he turned it around, expecting the worst and anticipating the best he could. Completing the rotation, he pushed the door open and ran at full speed until he was right next to the main staircase.
He took a peek upstairs and smiled as he thought he had went completely undetected. Upstairs, all sorts of commotion was going on. So much so that he should be able to stay just under the radar. A thought he smiled at as he looked down to his hands.
Held in them was a brand new issue of an Ace Savvy comic, stored safely inside a clasp envelope.
"Oh man, I can't wait to read this!"
"Hey Lincoln." Came Lucy's voice as she popped up out of the blue.
The aforementioned Lincoln jumped in surprise, but was able to cover his mouth in time, preventing him from being detected.
"Lucy!" He said as he turned to his Gothic sister.
"Do you know what rhymes with mime and solace?"
Lincoln pondered momentarily before answering, "Time, space, both of which I really need."
Lucy remained silent, simply staring on. She then wrote the suggestions down, saying, "That will work."
Lincoln watched as Lucy walked away, before looking up the stairs again. Sighing, he slowly crept his way up.
But that was it, that was as far as his silence went as all Hades broke loose by the time he reached the top of the stairs.
He firstly heard the sounds of Lori's phone as she texted away on it, before it was replaced by the sound of screaming.
It turns out Lori had fallen into a swirling vortex on the floor and had fallen from the ceiling. As she recovered, she heard the familiar laughter of a certain Loud.
She looked to the open doorway in front where Luan was laughing her butt off at Lori's very much planned misfortune.
"Now that was unreal!" Luan joked.
"Luan, I will literally kill you!" Lori shook her fist at the joker before looking for her now ringing phone, which she picked up and answered, "I'm sorry Boo Boo Bear, I'll call you later. Yes, it's Luan."
The eldest Loud then ended the call, before throwing a glare at her sister, her phone then glowed as it transformed into a highly futuristic gun which she pointed at Luan after getting back up.
The comedian's eyes widened, "Uh-oh, looks like you're 'calling the shots' now!"
She then barely dodged a laser fired by her sister, before turning one into a swarm of butterflies which flew towards Lori, obscuring her vision and allowing the joker to make a run for it.
"Come back here!" Lori said, waving away at the swarm before giving chase.
The two ended up going downstairs, with Lincoln making way so as to not even for a brief moment, have Lori direct her anger towards him.
Once the two passed, Lincoln used the chance to make a run for it to his room, stopped again when a red blur zipped past him and directing his eyes towards where it went.
The blur went into the bathroom, and Leni just happened to walk out from her room, holding a dress.
"Finished! That's another one for the week! This one looks cute!" She said as she absentmindedly inspected it.
All of a sudden, the blur burst through the clothing and ruining it, upsetting the ditzy teen, "Lynn!"
Said sister slowed down on her bike, having lost balance earlier and recovered quickly. She turned to Leni and shouted, "Sorry! But I can't risk losing the energy, it has to go on!"
Huffing, Leni looked at what's left of the dress and noticed an area that she deemed to look weird. So, she simply motioned her hand to her room and out came threads already tied into a needle. In several swift, elegant movements, the dress was fixed, better than it looked previously.
Lincoln meanwhile, had continued to make his way to his room. Lynn passed over him again and whooped while the boy flinched.
Lisa poked her head out of her room and spoke in reference to Lynn's behavior, "Accumulation of energy can be attained by increasing one's velocity thus inducing kinetic energy, but pass the speed of light and all that will go null."
"So? I'll still be moving!"" Lynn said, angering the toddler.
"So basically, stop it with all that ruckus!"
Lisa then returned to her room, slamming the door. A faint grumbling could be heard briefly before the room exploded. No trace of it remained.
"Lisa, I thought I told you to stop annihilating the room!" Lori shouted out, finally returning upstairs.
"Apologies, I lost my train of thought and forgot to keep myself reminded to use not more than point one micrograms amount of matter and antimatter. I'll fix this."
Lisa then put her arms up, slowly rebuilding the room as it rematerialized.
"Can you keep quiet out there!? I'm having a tea party here!" Lola shouted from her room.
Inside the preschoolers' room, Lola returned to her seat at her table and got comfortable, holding up a cup, "Apologies for that.", She said with a complete 180 on her demeanor.
The doll in front of her then slowly moved its head, imitating a nod despite having no controller nor strings attached.
Relaxing herself, Lola said, "Ah, I still need practice."
She then took a sip of her imaginary tea, before a golden retriever burst through the door, Charles -the family dog- gave chase along with the other pets. The chaos forced Lola to flinch and growl as she looked to the animals.
"Lana!" She yelled, pointing her arm towards the golden retriever, encasing it in a myriad of colored aura with pink being the most dominant.
The dog flashed a light blue before it disappeared, revealing Lana.
"What?" She shrugged before crossing her arms, "I just wanted to have fun too."
"How many times do I have to tell you to not come in as an animal?" Lola asked.
"It's not fair that you get to use your powers in the room!" Lana protested.
"Where's Lily?" Asked Lori from outside.
As if on cue, Lily appeared in the room in a bright flash of light.
She laughed and clapped her hands as she said, "Poo poo!"
Just then, the twins caught wind of the smell, Lola gagged and fainted. Lana fell and transformed into a cat to land safely before running out of the room, with the pets following closely behind.
Lincoln just barely dodged Lana and was about to finally grab hold of the doorknob to his room.
Before Lucy interrupted, "Lincoln?"
The girl's presence surprised the boy and he jumped in fear this time, screaming as well.
He held his chest and tried to steady his breathing, "Lucy! What is it?"
"I want you to hear my poem. I call it: Shadows."
"I'm sorry, but not now." Lincoln interrupted and quickly excused himself into his room.
Inside, he sighed and slowly walked to his bed, hopping on to it.
He took out the book and his joy returned, with the his previously eliminated anticipation coming back as well.
"Finally." He said wearily.
"Oh yeah!" Luna screamed from outside, and Lincoln's expression turned to horror. A loud twang from her guitar nearly deafened the boy and shook the house, "Are you ready, Royal Woods!?"
"Oh no."
Outside, Luna started counting down, bobbing her head with each number, "1! 2! 3!"
The rockstar Loud then began playing her guitar, creating dangerously loud music that forced everyone in the vicinity of the house to cover their ears.
Lincoln growled as he covered his ears and yelled out, "That's it! Can't I have some peace and quiet!?"
The boy brought up his hand and snapped his fingers. Slowly, everything began slowing down, to a crawl, and soon to the speed of a snail before completely stopping. Everything in a large area surrounding the house had completely stopped. All has ceased motion. Including time. All who looked at the house either stared at it in surprise or, with some people, moved along and went on normally with their day.
Now accompanied only by silence, Lincoln sighed and tried to relax on his bed. He opened the first page of the comic, having waited the entire day to read it.
That was when a swirling mass of darkness appeared in his room, steadily growing larger before it stopped. It dissipated and revealed Lucy.
Lincoln could only stare as the intrusion happened.
"Would you like to hear it?" Lucy asked about her poem.
"Lucy-" Was all Lincoln could say, but the Goth didn't care.
"Shadows; inside which we find solace, the eternal mime ; mattering not of size and space, existing even beyond time."
Lincoln hung his head low the whole time his sister talked. By the time she finished, he couldn't even get a word in before Luan simply opened the door and peeked in from it. She was surrounded by a yellow aura.
"Hey Lincoln, I know you really like to have a little 'space' and 'time' to yourself," She briefly laughed before continuing, "But could you uh, get things moving again? It's not good to keep us quiet, y'know? After all, we are the Loud family."
Lucy nodded in agreement.
Lincoln glanced over to the two and sighed, surrendering to their demands, "Okay, I'll stop."
"Thanks!" Luan gave a thumbs up.
Lucy gave a small smile.
Lincoln snapped his fingers again, and time resumed. Everything has returned to normal.
The two Louds then left the boy's room, Lucy did so through her powers and Luan simply stepped away from the door and closed it.
Lincoln stared at the two spots where his sisters stood, before sighing as he hung his head low again.
"You know, she's right. I might not like how loud we can get. But what am I going to do? Silence them out? Annoying as things may get, they are still my family. And we're the Loud family. This, is the Loud House: Power Louds."
Episode End.
End Notes: That's all for this episode. I had plans on how to continue the story, but found myself unable to think too far outside the box. Basically, if you've got ideas, I'm definitely open for suggestion. Oh right, it's also up for crossovers, so just PM me for that. It's a just in case; who knows, maybe there'd be someone else who can handle this cast better.
But until then, see ya later.
