Hey guys! It's time for Part 2! I think you guys are going to enjoy this episode, seeing as this is the ending to this two-parter, it should be interesting. Before we move on, I have a lot of reviews to address.
REVIEWS
Marauder of Our Stars - Yeah, I felt a more serious tone would help this story's case. I get where you're coming from with portraying sound, however I wasn't sure of the best way to go about explaining it in a story, so I just said *CRASH* for example. I'm glad you think the story's better and I'm hoping to improve my writing with each chapter and story I write. Thanks for the review!
Agnes Marie IN-NFT - Si, algunos de estos episodios van a tener temas mas serios que otros. Este es uno de ellos. Estoy muy feliz de que la escena del asesinato fue bien recibida, y que no extrane a nadie. Me alegro de que estes disfrutando de la demostracion de trabajo en equipo de Super Thunder. Parece que han mejorado desde el primer episodio. Y aunque la historia puede ser seria a veces, todavia trato de rociar con un poco de humor, como la escena de Lori por ejemplo. !Y lo adivinaste! Esta historia esta centrada en Lisa. Puede que no lo haya parecido en el ultimo episodio, pero deberia estar mas centrado en ella en este. Como siempre, gracias por la critica! Te aprecio realmente.
A Hopeful Observer - Yeah, I hope it wasn't too jarring to have such a serious premise follow two light ones so closely. Speaking of this premise, yes, the mole is indeed under someone's control. The message Lisa decodes will tell her who it is. Stick around and you'll find out who!
RCurrent - I'm glad you like the series. I actually had to look up who you were talking about though. I never played Final Fight before. But anyway, he seems like a pretty good character to be a villain. I actually thought he was a girl, until I saw his picture. That's hilarious that he was cursed with a girl's name. I can't guarantee that the actual character will be in the series, but maybe I can create a villain based off of him. We'll see. Thanks for the suggestion, and I hope you continue to enjoy the series!
MrGenerator - Yeah, I have a soft spot for puns, and classic catchphrases and one-liners heroes say when they're in a fight scene. So, you may see a few cheesy puns here and there throughout this series. Thanks for the review and as for who's behind it, you'll have to read the chapter! Enjoy!
5 Reviews! Wow, I think that's a new record! Anyways, thank you guys for all your support so far. And now, it's time for me to dip! I'll see you at the end of the chapter! Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!

Episode 4: Who's The Mole? Part 2
Several hours had passed since the Louds had retrieved a mysterious collar from around the mole's neck. Since they arrived home, Lisa had been cooped up in her lab, searching endlessly for the solution to the encoded message.
"*receives message data from her decrypting computing system* Hmm..." said Lisa, as she started to read the decrypted message.
...What was closed shall be the cause of closure for a town of trees and crowns. The creature created and controlled underground...
"Hmph. Something rubs me the wrong way about this message. The creature is obviously the mole and this collar was most likely controlling it. But who made the collar?" said Lisa, as she pondered on the message a little more.
She paused on the word created, and realized that this mole had to have been genetically engineered or even mutated somehow. Which would mean it was created in a...lab.
"Wait! A lab?! Hold on a second, what was the first part of this message again?!" thought Lisa, as she read the first part of the message again.
...What was closed shall be the cause of closure for a town of trees and crowns...
"Of course. It all makes sense now. The mole hair turning green, the collar, what was closed shall be the cause of closure! *gasps* The mole was created by...them." said Lisa suspense-fully.
Meanwhile downstairs in the Loud House, the Louds were trying to relax, but couldn't shake the thought of that mole away. They knew it was a serious threat, and wanted to capture it before it hurt or killed anyone else. Everyone was just a little on edge.
"*sees mouse by her foot and jumps* Ahh! The mole!" shouted Leni frightened.
"Relax Leni. That's just Bitey, my pet rat." said Lana, casually strolling over.
She picked up Bitey and took him away from Leni. Leni then sat back in the sofa relieved.
"I didn't know you were scared of rats Leni." said Luan.
"I'm not! It's that mole! I know I looked brave out there today, but I just can't stop thinking about it! All those people could've died!" exclaimed Leni.
"But they didn't honey. Cause we rescued them." said Lynn Sr.
"Yeah, but will we always be able to rescue them?" said Lynn, in a somewhat cold tone.
"Lynn! Don't say that sweetie!" said Rita.
"Hey, I'm just stating facts. Out of all of us, Lori's the only one who can fly, which means the rest of us are screwed if ol' "Thunderbolt" over here breaks down like it always does." said Lynn.
"I think Lynn's got a point. We do arrive kinda late to emergencies. If Lynn didn't have fast reflexes when she hit that mole with that boulder, that mother and daughter could've been killed." said Lincoln.
Lily starts to tear up from hearing this.
"Lincoln, I think we should stop this conversation around Lily. It's making her upset." said Rita, trying to calm Lily down.
"Listen kids, when we all became superheroes, we all knew of the dangers, the tough decisions we'd have to make. So far, there's only been one death in this case, but it wasn't our fault. We didn't know the mole existed at the time. But Lynn Jr's right. Urgency is everything when it comes to emergencies. We need a way to make Thunderbolt faster." said Lynn Sr.
"I can probably take a look at it Dad. Supe up Thunderbolt with a new engine, and we'll get where we need to go in no time!" said Lana.
"Thanks Lana. And remember kids, even when the situation's tough, if we all work together, we'll always give it our best to help the citizens of this town." said Lynn Sr.
"Yeah pops is right guys. If we're not on one accord, then there's no harmony. No harmony and the whole chorus falls flat." said Luna.
All the Louds agreed with Luna's statement, and could now breathe a little easier with their worries addressed. However, as soon as the Louds were settled, their fears were suddenly brought up again when their house was violently shaken.
"What's going on?!" asked Luan confused.
"Is this an earthquake?!" asked Lola quite frightened.
"I don't think we get earthquakes in Royal Woods!" said Lori, as the house suddenly stopped shaking.
"What was that?" asked Lynn.
"I don't know... *cellphone starts ringing* ...but I have a feeling we're about to find out!" said Lynn Sr., as he answered his phone.
The Chief was on the line, and said that the mole had resurfaced in the heart of town. They needed to get down there fast.
"Suit back up Louds! Lincoln, can you get Lisa?" said Lynn Sr.
"Sure thing Dad!" said Lincoln, as he ran up the stairs.
He opened the door to Lisa and Lily's room, but found no one there. He was confused, but then his attention shifted to something on Lisa's computer screen. She had been researching the Mutagene Labs.
"What the-"
"Lincoln! Quit standing there! We gotta get going!" exclaimed Lynn.
"Sorry, but Lisa's missing." said Lincoln.
"What?" said Lynn confused.
"Alright guys, let's go!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"Uh...Dad? We have a slight problem." said Lincoln.
"What's that son?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Lisa's missing." said Lincoln.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Lynn Sr.
"Don't worry Dad. I think I have an idea of where she is." said Lincoln, as he gestured toward the computer screen.
Meanwhile at the "abandoned" Mutagene Labs, Lisa had infiltrated the facilities, and was crawling through the air ducts.
"I still can't believe you lost it!" shouted a random scientist.
"But Johnny, the mole has been sighted downtown." said another random scientist.
"That doesn't matter! We still have no control over it!" shouted Johnny.
"Relax Johnny, it's not like someone will figure out it belongs to us! That code is way too hard to figure out. It was created by yours truly after all." said the other scientist.
"I wouldn't be so sure Cameron." said Lisa, from the air ducts.
"Huh? Who said that?" asked Cameron confused.
"I know that voice. Lispy Lisa! You've returned to us huh?" said Johnny.
"*drops down from the air ducts* Not a chance Johnny. I think you know why I'm here." said Lisa, as she threw the collar on the ground, implying that that was what she was talking about. She was in her regular attire confronting these scientists.
"So, you figured it out! Well, I guess if anybody was gonna do it, it was gonna be you." said Johnny.
"Yeah, she is like crazy smart!" said the other scientist.
"Yeah she is. I honestly don't know why she left." said Johnny.
"You know why I left Johnny, and Blake please don't try to flatter me with compliments. It doesn't work." said Lisa.
"I was just trying to be nice girl. Dang, this is the thanks I get for welcoming back an old friend." said Blake.
"We're not friends. Get that through your heads right now. I should've known you three would be behind this mutation tomfoolery. Now, tell me, why did you create the mole?" said Lisa.
"You decrypted the message. You already know why we created it. To get revenge on Royal Woods for shutting us down." said Johnny.
"You know Royal Woods shut this lab down for a good reason. You were hurting innocent animals with your mutation projects!" said Lisa.
"You were just as much apart of this as we were. Don't try to throw us under the bus. What we were doing was pushing the boundaries of science! And this society shunned what they didn't understand." said Johnny.
"But I understood quite well. And that's why I left you guys. I couldn't go through with it anymore. I do have a conscience." said Lisa.
"And your conscience should've told you that coming here was a bad idea. Cameron!" said Johnny, as Cameron pushed a button on a remote, which suspended Lisa in a rope trap.
"*struggles to break free* Let me go you scoundrels! You're not going to succeed in your plan!" said Lisa.
"I think we are. We may not have control of the mole, but it'll still get the message across to Royal Woods. They will pay dearly for shutting us down." said Johnny.
"Johnny, this is exactly why I left you idiots. You never think! If you don't have control of the mole, the people of Royal Woods won't know who's responsible. Quite frankly, you wouldn't want them to know who's responsible. The mole has already killed one person, and others could end up hurt or worse as long as that mole is on the loose. So, I want you to tell me clearly, how do we stop it?" said Lisa.
"That's for us to know, and for Royal Woods to never find out." said Johnny.
"Well that's too bad. Cause you're gonna have to tell us now." said the Chief, entering the room, with officers behind him.
"What the? Who led the fuzz here?" asked Blake.
"Some friends of ours." said the Chief.
Suddenly, Lynn Sr., Lucy, Lincoln, Lola, Lana, and Leni entered the room as well, all wearing their superhero outfits.
"Whoa cool! You're friends with Super Thunder?!" asked Cameron, in a geeky voice.
"That's right! Now how do we defeat that mole?" asked Lincoln authoritatively.
"*smirks* We're not telling you." said Johnny smugly.
"Well it doesn't matter. We already know you guys created it so...Seize 'em boys!" said the Chief, as the officers ran up and detained the scientists.
"You're going to jail for a long time." said one of the police officers.
"Oh yeah? Well, don't you worry! I'll get out! I'm smart enough to do that you know?" said Cameron.
"Yeah yeah. Come on." said the officer, as he started to drag Cameron away.
"Hey! Wait!" shouted Cameron, as he dropped a slip of paper from his lab coat, while being dragged away.
"Huh? What's that?" asked Lynn Sr., as he stretched his arm out to retrieve the slip of paper.
The paper contained another encoded message.
"Oh great! It's another one of those message thingies!" said Lana, in slight frustration.
"That's right! And you'll never figure it out! Hahahahaha!" said Johnny.
"Alright, let's take 'em to the squad cars boys!" said the Chief, as Johnny, Blake and Cameron were taken away.
"How are we gonna figure this out?" asked Lincoln.
"*clears throat* If you guys would free me, I would be able to assist you in decrypting the message." said Lisa.
"Right. Flame?" said Lynn Sr.
"One super hot fireball coming up Daddy!" said Lola, as she burned the ropes with a red hot fireball.
"Thank you Flame. My sweater's a little singed but I'm otherwise unharmed. Now then... *puts on her super suit with the use of her PortaPendant* Let's get down to business." said Lisa.
"How are you gonna solve this?" asked Lincoln.
"With this! Behold the DeCrypter 3000! Name subject to change. Now, hold the message in front of the scanner please." said Lisa.
The DeCrypter scanned and decrypted the message to read...
...The brighter of the opposites, and ally of day. It is forever our enemy, and the mole is its prey...
"What the heck does that mean?" said Lola.
"I think I know. Whatever it is, the mole is defeated by it. It's brighter than it's opposite and can be found during the day. It's-"
"*gasps* Of course! Light!" said Lisa.
"Hey! I was gonna say that!" said Lucy.
"Sorry Madame L, there's no time! Come on guys! We have to get downtown!" said Lisa, as she and the other Louds raced out of the lab to the van.
Meanwhile downtown...
*mole shrieks loudly*
"Hey! Would ya shut up already?!" said Lynn.
"Don't make it angry!" said Lori.
"Aw who cares! None of our attacks are working on it!" exclaimed Lynn.
"Hang on kids! I'm getting a call from your father." said Rita, as she answered her wireless communicator.
"Hi honey! How are you and the kids holding up?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Not too good! Luan, Luna and Lily managed to evacuate downtown, but this mole is still running rampant in the streets! We just can't seem to defeat it!" said Rita.
"Don't worry mother, we have the solution! The mole is highly sensitive to light. Have Luan blast it with a few of her energy beams, and we should be able to subdue it." said Lisa, taking over the conversation.
"Okay! Thanks honey!" said Rita, as she ended the communication, and then called Luan.
"Hey Mom! What's up?" asked Luan.
"Luan honey? I need you to come back to Downtown Square. The mole can only be defeated by light, and you're the only one with that power!" said Rita.
"I always knew I'd get my time to SHINE!" said Luan.
"Just hurry sweetie." said Rita.
"Okay Mom! Light Show away!" said Luan, as she ended her communication line.
Just as soon as she and Rita's conversation ended, the Thunderbolt pulled up to the scene.
"Hey honey! I'm so glad you're okay! Where's Luan?" said Lynn Sr.
"I just called her. She's on her way." said Rita.
*mole shrieks announcing its presence once more*
"We have to do something while we wait for her to get here!" said Lori.
"Someone has to hold it down!" exclaimed Lincoln.
"I'll do it!" exclaimed Lynn.
"And I'll help to constrain it!" said Lucy.
"I'll help too girls! That mole is super huge! You're gonna need a little Lynn-lasticity to really hold it down!" said Lynn Sr.
"Alright! Then let's get in the game Dad!" said Lynn, as she leaped forward, and pinned the beast's tail.
The mole tried to break free, but was quickly restrained even more by Lynn Sr.'s arms.
"Great job Dad! Now Madame L, give him a piece of your mind!" said Lynn.
"Or I'll just control it." said Lucy, as she used her telepathy to take over the mole's mind.
"Great! We have the mole in place! Now all we need is-"
"The Light Show!" exclaimed Luan, as she suddenly blasted the mole with a barrage of light energy projectiles, unknowingly cutting off Lynn's statement.
The mole cried out in pain, until it slumped to the ground, clearly defeated. Super Thunder then celebrated, knowing that the underground nightmare was over.
"We did it! Thanks Luan!" exclaimed Leni.
"No problem. I'm glad I could help LIGHT up your day! Hahahaha!" said Luan.
The rest of Super Thunder groaned as usual.
"So what do we do now?" asked Lynn.
Just then, Royal Woods PD pulled up, with the military unit in tow.
"Don't worry Super Thunder, we'll take it from here." said the Chief.
"We're going home Powerhouse!" said Lynn Sr., in response to Lynn's question.
The mole was hauled off to be extradited out of Royal Woods, and Super Thunder left the scene feeling triumphant.
I hope you guys enjoyed this episode, and I'm sorry it took so long to come out. Until next time, I've been 65, and I'm out! Peace!
