Hello, everyone! Guess who finally got off their lazy butt and did something? This guy!

All that time waiting... Now I bring to you episode 2 of The Loud House: Sound Barrier. Truth be told, I was thinking about WHEN to make this episode and if I should write some others ones first. Saving it for later... but then the Really Loud Music special came out and I was like: "Oh now I HAVE to do this!"

Enjoy. And again... thanks for being patient :)


Episode 2: Pop-Star Struck

"I'm sa-lad we made up. Lettuce toast to our friendship!" Luan laughed as she wrote the joke down in a note book. "OK, maybe I could set up one that involves a tool box. Then again, people could think I'm a real…" Luan soon found herself interrupted by an intense blast from a speaker, courtesy of her sister, Luna. "Hey, Luna. LUNA!" She screamed trying to get the musician's attention. Yet, Luna kept a guitar solo going for a full minute until Luan ran out of patience and pulled the stereo's cord out of the wall.

Luna blinked as the sound of her music came to a sudden halt. "Dude, what gives?" She asked in annoyance.

"I hate to pull the plug on your performance…" Luan quipped. "But you're music was way too loud and I can barely hear myself think." She explained. Luna scoffed in response.

"Oh come on, Luan. It can't be that bad." She reasoned.

"Actually it can." A voice calmly spoke up. Luna and Luan screamed as they saw Lucy standing in the middle of the doorway. Followed by Lola, who looked really upset. "Luna, your music is incredibly disruptive to my process of writing poetry. I can even hear it from inside my coffin." Lucy complained.

"And every time you start a big guitar solo, it messes with my makeup application." Lola's complaint didn't bother Luna and she ignored it.

"Whatever, brah. Music is a form of expression. You can't stop the freedom of speech, and you can't change who I am." She argued. Luan rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"So your form of expression is making everyone's ears bleed with death metal?" She sarcastically asked. The whole house shook as Luna tensed up and her powers kicked in briefly.

"You care to repeat that, love?" She replied in a British accent with a venomous tone.

"Well, what can I say? Your music will be the death of us! Ha ha!" Luan laughed and the quakes increased in intensity.

"Luan…" She growled. Before Luna could make an outburst, Lynn called out from another room.

"Uh, guys? Mom and Dad said they didn't want to have another incident like with Lisa's weird nuclear reactor. I'm pretty sure Luna's earthquakes count." She warned. Luna took the warning to heart and proceeded to take a deep breath.

"I said this before; there is a huge difference between rock and death metal music." Lola chuckled.

"You could've fooled me." Luna pinched the bridge of her nose and stomped off.

"You know what? If you want peace and quiet so badly, then I'll just go hang out at the mall. Luna Loud is out. Peace!" With that, Luna stormed out of the room and out of the house.

...

After a while, Luna eventually found herself at the mall. Pouting over her sisters' judgement. "Death metal and rock being the same… She needs to take notes about music." She grumbled as she walked through the corridors of the mall. She blinked in slight shock. "Wait, did I just make a pun? Is Luan rubbing off on me?" Before Luna could contemplate her mental state, a small ping sounded from her phone. She pulled it out and read the message aloud. "Congratulations Luna Loud. You've won The Rising Star Sweepstakes!"

Luna was astonished at the good fortune that befell her. "I won a contest? Weird, I don't remember entering a contest." She shrugged, but decided to keep reading. "Show this message to the security guard at the following address and he will let you in backstage. The show starts at 5:00 PM, but as a VIP you get special early access at 3:00." Luna looked at her watch and noted the time was 1:50. "Maybe I could pop in quickly and see what the buzz is about. Besides, what do the others care for? They don't really get me or music anyway." She spat as she walked out towards the mall's exit. Yet, Luna still felt something in the back of her mind warning her that something was amiss.

Eventually, Luna was walking through the streets towards her destination. A large, circular stadium. She remembered going to it a few times for concerts in the past and sighed at the fond memories. "I always love coming here. It's a little weird to be here when the place is so barren." Luna sighed. Her assessment was pretty accurate considering the parking lot around the venue was nearly empty. With the exception of 2 cars and a large white tour bus. The bus wasn't even decorated with any artwork, so one could only assume it was brand new. "Like smoke on the water…" She stated wistfully.

"LUNA!"

"What's happening?" Luna turned in the direction of a pair of new voices. 1 was a teenage girl with blonde hair possessing a blue highlight. Her clothes were mixed with a blue jacket covering a white t-shirt. As well as dark purple jeans and boots. The other was a shorter, younger girl with black hair and a bright pink streak in her hair. Her hair was slicked upward in a punk rock fashion that complimented her purple jacket, pink skirt, and pure white boots. Luna was pleasantly surprised to see her friends around.

"Sam? Tabby? What are you doing here?" She asked. Sam, the teen in blue, chuckled a little bit before explaining.

"Me and Tabby won a contest and got early access to a concert!" She explained. Luna's jaw dropped in amazement.

"Really? That's why I'm here!" Luna remarked. Tabby crossed her arms and laughed.

"Ha! Small world, ain't it luvs?" Tabby quipped in a rhetorical manner with a British accent. "Come on, let's go check out the shindig!" With that optimistic cheer, the 3 girls walked over to the backstage door. In front of the large steel doors were a pair of bouncers wearing black clothes and shades. Luna and her friends showed the men their phones with the invite text on the screen. Satisfied with the authenticity, they stepped aside and opened the doors for the trio to pass through. As they walked through the hallways, the red walls and pictures of famous musicians gave an aura of glamour that felt pretty overwhelming to Luna.

"So Luna, do you think you'll ever get here for yourself?" Sam asked out of the blue. Luna blushed from embarrassment of the question and her eyes darted to the ground.

"Uh, well I hope I do… someday."

"And hope will keep the flame of that dream alive!" A new voice called out from behind them. The 3 turned around to see a woman in an extravagant black dress with white cotton on the sleeves and collar. The fabric glistened with white and gray sparkles like stars in the night sky. Her hair was a sleek mix of silver and blonde that stretched down to the middle of her back. "You 3 must be the winners that got the pass to witness the newest, and soon to be greatest, faces in music. Am I right?"

The 3 girls glanced at each other and back to the woman. Luna raised an eyebrow and pointed at the woman. "Are you the star of the show here, brah?" She asked. The woman gave a hearty laugh and pretended to wipe a tear from her eye.

"Ahh, I wish my dear. I once had big dreams of singing for an audience, but I hit a bit of a snag early in my career so I had to change direction a little bit." The woman explained. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Serenade Camden. I'm the manager for The Galaxy Gals." Serenade greeted happily. Tabby rubbed the back of her head anxiously.

"Not to be rude, but I never heard of that band before." She apologized awkwardly. Serenade scoffed in a playful manner and shrugged off the comment.

"No need to feel bad, dear. The Galaxy Gals are brand new talent I found myself. No one has ever heard of them yet. But once they take center stage, they'll be performing all around the country. Maybe even the globe." The manager fantasized. Sam smiled as a little excitement and curiosity built up inside her.

"So, when do we meet the band?" She asked eagerly.

"Oh, in a little bit. They still need to get all dressed up. Butterflies and makeup are quite the hurdle to get over." Serenade stated bluntly with a small frown. Yet, it quickly vanished as she clapped her hands. "Although, they were doing a lot of rehearsing for their big debut. I even have a demo track prepared, and I was hoping you would be the first outside my staff to hear it." The offer quickly caught the girls' interest and they agreed almost immediately.

"Us? The first? No way!"

"Oh, yeah. Now we're talking!"

"Thanks a lot, that's really rad!" In response to their cheers, Serenade led them down the hall and deeper into the building. As they walked, Luna caught a glimpse at the star doors. They were labeled Sun, Moon, and Star. 'Guess they're called The Galaxy Gals for a reason.' Luna thought to herself. "So what style of music does the band perform? Rock? Soul?" Luna asked out loud. Serenade hummed to herself before opening a door to a pink room with multiple white egg shaped chairs.

"They perform a lot of genres. But they try and keep the common theme of being high tempo and inspiring." She explained. Serenade went over to a table and grabbed 3 pairs of orange headphones with blue star shapes on the ear pieces. "I'll turn the music on now, just have a seat and listen. Let the melody wash over you." The 3 girls put on the headphones and Serenade turned on the music with a remote. The song had a peppy and upbeat groove that Luna couldn't help but tap her foot along to the beat. Throughout the song, a pleasant voice was singing in the background. There weren't any actual lyrics, just the voice giving off basic tones along with the track.

"Well it's not my first pick. But it's got a wicked hook. What do you guys think?" Luna asked her friends. Tabby didn't answer as she simply became engrossed with the song. Sam managed to hear her friend and spoke up.

"It's nice. And that voice… it's so soothing. Like a… hyped up lullaby." Sam yawned.

"Lullaby? Sam, where did you get that idea?" Luna asked in confusion. However, no answer came. "Sam? You hear me?" Luna turned to look at her friend and was surprised to see she had fallen asleep. She glanced over to Tabby and saw that she was also unconscious. "Why are you all…?"

"Oh. I did not expect you to still be awake while listening to my entrancing voice." Serenade giggled. Luna looked at her confused.

"Your voice? I thought this was The Galaxy Gals?"

"Well it may be the right melody, but you haven't given a set of vocals yet." Luna paused in shock over Serenade's statement.

"I haven't given the vocals? What are you talking about?" Luna asked as her patience started to run thin. Serenade couldn't help but laugh to herself. As she laughed, Luna felt a sudden sense of relaxation and felt herself sink into her chair.

"Well, no harm in bragging since we are going to be such great friends in a couple minutes. Alright, I'll tell you. I've been watching you for a while, Luna Loud." Serenade started to explain. Luna couldn't help but feel a knot form in her stomach as she feared the worst with Serenade's claim. "Ever since you and your family performed at the fair, I thought you were just a wannabe. A novice with minor talent with a guitar. But as I saw you perform more and more, I realized you were a true gemstone. Talent that had yet to be fully unearthed." Luna choked on her own disgust as she started to force out a response.

"You were… STALKING me!?"

"Stalking is such a harsh word. Observing is a better word. I even saw the talent in your friend Tabby and your… special someone." Luna blushed as she knew exactly what she was talking about.

"You leave Sam out of this you…" Serenade pulled out the remote again and turned a dial on it. The volume of the headphones increased and Luna reeled back from the shock and gripped at her forehead.

"Shhh. Just relax. When you wake up, you'll be a star beyond your wildest dreams." Serenade laughed evilly as she saw the look on Luna's face scrunch up as the audio started to hit her brain hard. "I thought I remembered somewhere that sounds stimulate the human brain. But when my vocal chords got super charged from one crossed wire in a microphone, I never thought I could make people into whatever I want."

"You… you…" Luna moaned.

"Shhh. Sleep now, Luna. Or rather… Moon. I've already won this battle." Luna wanted nothing more than to punch this woman's lights out, but she could barely think straight with the relentless music bending her will by the second. Her eyes started to flutter open and closed as she started to give in.

'No Luna, fight it. You lose now and you might as well sing a swan song.' Luna glanced at her wrist and saw her watch. Mustering up the last of her willpower, she reached for it and tapped on the screen, sending a S.O.S. out to her family. 'I hope… you guys… make… it.' With that final thought, the music won the battle and Luna's vision went to black.

...

Meanwhile back at the Loud House, Luan, Lucy, and Lola were watching TV in the living room. "Fangs again for inviting us to watch your vampire show with you, Luce." Luan laughed. Lucy didn't even look at her sister as they kept watching.

"Do not make me regret my decision." She firmly stated. Lola lounged around and yawned.

"The castle could use a serious makeover if you ask me. Too dark and dreary for any sort of dinner party." The pageant girl commented. Lucy couldn't but help but groan in frustration. The situation took a different turn when the front door opened and Lana walked in. She seemed rather confused as she looked around the living room.

"Have any of you seen Luna? We made a deal that if I worked on special effects for a performance with my lighting, she would make me the ultimate mud pit." The child explained. Lola shrugged and seemed indifferent to her twin's plight.

"Beats me. Haven't seen her since this morning, after she nearly blew out our eardrums." Lola explained. Lana blinked in confusion.

"This morning? You mean she's been gone for hours?" She asked. A feeling of concern managed to take root in all of the girls.

"Huh… Well, Luna is probably fine. She isn't the type to gravel in fear. HA HA! Get it?" Luan joked. Everyone groaned at her pun and Lucy pulled out a cell phone.

"Still, maybe we should call her and see if she's okay." The young goth suggested as she dialed her big sister's number. The phone went to a dial tone, ringing as the room was silent and waiting for a response. Eventually, a voice spoke through the phone, but it wasn't that of Luna.

"The number you are trying to reach is not available at this time." An automated voice replied. Lucy immediately hung up the phone and put it away.

"Strange. Luna always picks up her phone." Lucy noted, sending a chill down her siblings' spines. "I fear the worst about her whereabouts." Then, as if on cue, a series of high pitched beeps flooded the room. Confused, the girls looked around for the source until they tracked it down to their watches. The faces of the wrist wear were giving off flashes of red on their screens. The twins felt a sense of unease grow as the sound continued.

"OK, what's up with our hero watches?" Lola asked slightly annoyed.

"Gasp. It's a Code Flare!" Lucy exclaimed in a monotone, yet very worried voice. Her sisters stared at her awkwardly. The only sounds coming from the watches' alarms. "Seriously? Was I the only one listening when Lisa explained how these things work aside from letting us put our costumes on?" She asked. When no response came, Lucy groaned as she fiddled with the watch and it displayed a map of the city with multiple blinking dots of various colors. "It's an S.O.S. signal for when one of us is in trouble. And it's coming from Luna."

Coming to terms with the situation, the girls examined the map and Luan pointed at a single purple dot separated from the rest. "It looks like she's out over by the local concert hall. I wonder why she's having trouble over there." Luan wondered out loud.

"Well we won't get answers just standing around. We need to go help her!" Lana proclaimed. With a silent and serious nod, the sisters used their watches to turn into their hero personas. Ready to take on the challenge ahead of them, they went through the basement and into their hideout. From there, they took a secret passage and ventured out into the city.

...

After 20 minutes, the girls found themselves outside the concert hall. They hid behind a car and simply gazed upon the overwhelming building. "Are you sure the 4 of us are enough for this?" Protona asked quizzically. "I know Doppelganger can clone herself, but still." Doppelganger shook her head in disagreement.

"The others called and said they were busy, either with regular stuff or villains. We either have to go in now, or wait. And our family wouldn't like the sound of that idea." She explained while laughing at her pun. Dark Duchess shook her head and began walking forward.

"Back on topic, how do we get in? There seem to be guards at all the doors." She explained. Sure enough, several large men dressed in black seemed to be at every entrance. Protona raised one of her arms and began to gather electricity. A mischievous grin took form on her face.

"Well we COULD be direct and blast through them." She suggested. Elexa gave her sister a worried look and took a step backward. "What?" Protona asked oblivious to her twin's emotions.

"A little overkill if you ask me. Plus it's a giant warning sign for the real bad guy behind this." She explained.

"Well I don't see you having any better ideas. And I mean that both literally and ironically." Protona snidely remarked. Doppelganger looked up at the roof and saw a couple of vents protruding from the top of the building. An idea soon formed in her head.

"Girls, I think I have an idea of how we can tower over this obstacle."

The group ran over to a side of the building that had no visible entrances to guard. Once in position, Doppelganger kept creating copies of herself that stacked up on her shoulders. Once it was tall enough to reach the top, her sisters climbed up the human ladder and made it up to the roof. Doppelganger then proceeded to gather her clones again and they merged into one. Elexa snapped her fingers as a moment of realization came to her.

"Oh, tower. Because you made a tower out of your copies. I get it now." She noted. Doppelganger took a graceful bow and proceeded to walk over to one of the vents.

"Dark Duchess, would you care to do the honors?" She asked politely. Dark Duchess grinned and used some dark energy arms to pry the vent grating off. Pleased with the results, the four heroes crawled in and started to navigate through the vents. Though the tight spaces made it rather difficult as they soon found themselves bickering amongst themselves.

"Get your foot out of my face."

"OW! You zapped me."

"Sigh. For the record, this gets easier with practice."

"My face feels tingly… Is that static or a cobweb?" Eventually, they found another vent grate leading into the main lobby. Dark Duchess used her energy to force it open and they crawled out.

"OK, we're inside. Now where do we find Luna?" Elexa asked. Before anyone could reply, the sound of music and singing started to fill the area. Doppelganger took a liking to it and started tapping her foot to the rhythm.

"Catchy. This music is hard to beat." She laughed at her own joke. However, she stopped herself and started to think about an important detail. "Wait, if there is a performance, then why aren't there more people out in the parking lot?" With that question brought to their attention, they listened closer and tried to track down the source. Eventually, the found a large set of doors into one of the performing areas.

"It's coming from in here." Dark Duchess indicated. The group opened the doors and entered the hall. There they gasped at the sight of the performance on stage. On stage was Luna, singing an upbeat pop song in a sparkling cyan top and skirt that showed off her midriff. On her head was a pair of headphones with a small microphone mounted on it for her to sing. Singing alongside her were Sam and Tabby, who were wearing crimson and gold matching outfits. The highlights in their hair had even been changed from blue to red and pink to yellow as well. The members of Sound Barrier could only watch in silence as the performance went on.

That is until Elexa burst into hysterics over the whole sight and started laughing. The volume of her giggles was so loud that it distracted the girls on stage and caused them to stare at the back at the hall where the heroes were. Everyone glared at Elexa and her laughter slowed down. "I'm sorry. But seeing HER in an outfit like that, singing that kind of a song? I couldn't help myself." She apologized. Her outburst caught the attention of Serenade, who was sitting in the front row watching their performance.

"Ahem. As much as my stars love an audience, this is a private rehearsal. Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked with a touch of bitterness. However, it seemed to fade when she got a closer look at the new arrivals. "Wait, I recognize you. You are a couple of those heroes from The Sound Barrier!" Serenade laughed gleefully and clapped. "My name is Serenade. I am forever grateful for the service you do for our community. Did you come to ask me to write your team a theme song? Because I dabble on occasion." Protona thought the idea sounded tempting and grinned.

"Well if you insist, maybe we could talk." Dark Duchess shook her head in disapproval.

"Focus, Protona. We actually came here tracking an emergency call, mam." She explained. Serenade let out a dramatic gasp.

"An emergency? Oh my! Take 5 girls, it's not healthy for my stars to rehearse under such stress."

"Yes, Serenade." The girls said in unison as they proceeded to talk privately and giggle amongst themselves. Doppelganger glanced at them and stroked her chin.

"So, Serenade. This group of yours… Are they new?" She asked.

"Oh yes! The Galaxy Gals are the hottest talent I've seen. They've been trying so hard to get a big break as pop stars, and then I came along and they were so eager to take the opportunity." Serenade squealed. Doppelganger looked at her sister on stage and narrowed her eyes. She thought back to earlier in the day, Luna's words fresh in her mind

"Music is a form of expression. You can't stop the freedom of speech, and you can't change who I am."

Doppelganger glared fiercely at Serenade with an intense fire in her eyes. "Well I think you're a liar." She spat. Her sisters caught on to the implication and started to stare at Serenade.

"What? Me. Lie? What gives you that idea?" Serenade asked in a slight panic.

"I recognize one of the singers as a local citizen. One that has a lot of artistic integrity. She doesn't seem like the type to change her tune and sell out either." Doppelganger chuckled at her little joke, but still retained her serious demeanor.

"T-this is ridiculous. My stars came here of their own accord. I don't know what you're implying." Dark Duchess stepped forward and glared at the woman through her bangs and hood.

"Then call their parents. See if they'll vouch for you." Serenade swallowed a lump in her throat and backed away. Feeling a sense of danger creep up as the team grew closer to her. She broke a sweat and opened her mouth. Serenade then began to sing and filled the room with a soothing aria. The members of The Sound Barrier seemed to grow confused. "Are you singing? Why are you singing… such a beautiful… song?" Dark Duchess questioned as she started to sway back and forth. Doppelganger and the twins rushed towards her and caught her before she hit the ground. Then, they too started to succumb to Serenade's hypnotic song.

"Wh-what? Why do I feel so… sleepy?" Doppelganger questioned as her eyelids began to flutter. The twins also felt the fatigue setting in as well. Grasping at straws, they ended up talking to each other via their mental link.

"Protona? I don't want to fall asleep like this again…"

"Me either, sis. We need to stay awake. But how?"

"Pinch ourselves?"

"Elexa… That's stupid. We need something… bigger..."

Right when it seemed the group was going to fall asleep, a large flash of light erupted from the twins and electrified the group. Serenade stopped singing and jumped back in fright. "What the!?" When the electricity subsided. Doppelganger shook her head as she came back to her senses.

"Hey, I'm SHOCKED you sent out friendly fire!" She laughed at her joke, only to be ignored as the twins high fived.

"Elexa, it worked!" Protona cheered as she pointed at Serenade. "I don't know what you were trying to do by singing, but it won't work on us!" Serenade was at a loss for words as the heroes got into a fighting stance. Then, she eventually started to laugh evilly.

"Ah ha ha ha. No one has ever beaten my hypnotic powers before. Such a shame too, you would have made great backup dancers for The Galaxy Gals." She reasoned. The twins both felt a feeling of disgust, for slightly different reasons, and slipped into sync as they responded.

"Excuse you!? No way would I be a backup dancer!" They jinxed. Serenade waved off their anger and continued.

"Well, I guess we need to do this the old fashioned way." She snapped her fingers and caught the attention of Luna and her friends. "Girls, show these trouble makers your… choreography." Serenade commanded. Within a second, Sam leaped up into the air and did several backflips and somersaults across the floor, before stopping in front of Dark Duchess and kicking her in the belly. The blow sent her tumbling across the room and colliding with a wall. Before any of the others could react, Luna and Tabby rushed in and started to attack as well.

Serenade laughed as the battle raged on. "Brainwashing can make teaching new things so easy." She playfully teased. "And when you're done with them girls, take the ones that are still breathing backstage." She instructed as she went and took a comfy seat to watch. Doppelganger broke a sweat as her sister kept trying to hit her. Doppelganger frowned as the two clashed.

"Luna. I know you're in there and I know you recognize me. You have to fight her, not me!" Doppelganger pleaded in a whisper. But her plea fell on deaf ears as Luna growled and continued to attack. "Guys, try not to hurt them too much. Serenade must be controlling them against their will." Doppelganger instructed as Luna took a heavy swing at her. Doppelganger caught the punch and made a clone to crouch behind Luna. Luna then got shoved over the clone and fell on her butt. Tabby was going after the twins, but the pair's teamwork allowed them to apply pressure and hold their own.

"How are they so tough?" Protona asked. Tabby growled as se got down on her hands and did a breakdance spin that swept the twins off their feet. When they fell down, Tabby grabbed Elexa and threw her across the room and landed in one of the seats. The tyke groaned as she got back up.

"When Serenade is in the slammer, I want to find out how she taught her that." Throughout the brawl, Dark Duchess was trying to keep Sam at bay with a field of energy spikes. Unfortunately, Sam was too agile and kept slipping through her traps. Eventually, she got in close and grabbed Dark Duchess. Her grip was tight around her shoulders as she forced the hero against a wall.

"Sorry, little girl. But this sun needs to shine bright in the sky and no one is going to stop her!" She asserted in an eerily peppy voice. In an effort to defend herself, Dark Duchess made a geyser like burst of shadows from underneath Sam. She bumped her head and the collision against was so sudden that the headset she was wearing was flung off. Dark Duchess got into a fighting stance as she prepared for Sam's next attack. Eventually, the teen got up grumbling to herself. "Huh? Where am I?" Sam asked as she looked around. She noticed the outfit she was wearing and shrieked from embarrassment. "Why am I dressed like a disco dancer?"

Rubbing her head, Sam looked up and saw Dark Duchess. She gasped in awe. "No way! Dark Duchess? What are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later. Are you ok?" Dark Duchess asked. Sam nodded in response.

"Yeah. My friends and I were taking a VIP tour for a new music group." She looked at the ground and saw the head set she was wearing and the memories came back. "Then that crazy lady put these on us and I blacked out!" Sam realized. Dark Duchess grunted in response.

"So that's it. Guys, we need to get the headphones off of them." She yelled out. Doppelganger's face lit up as she made a couple clones that grabbed Luna's arms and held her in place. She smiled as she slipped the headphones off her sister's head. Luna stopped her moment and blinked as she started to come back to her senses.

Protona and Elexa were stuck in their battle with Tabby as they tried to keep her at bay with electric sparks. Once they felt she was far enough they grinned and charged forward with a battle cry. Tabby assumed it was a simple tackle and charged forward as well. However, Elexa got on all fours and Protona leap frogged both over her and Tabby, snagging the headphones as she landed.

"And she sticks the landing!" Protona bragged as Tabby passed out. Serenade was at a loss for words as her plan unraveled before her.

"No! My beautiful stars." She cried. Anger soon took over and a flame was ignited in her eyes. "You little brats! You ruined everything!" Serenade hissed. Doppelganger gathered her clones and started to walk towards her.

"Sorry, Serenade. It looks like your dreams fell a little flat. Ha ha. Get it? Because music notes can be flat, and you're…"

"NYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Serenade screamed at the top of her lungs before Doppelganger could finish. Everyone winced in pain the ear splitting wail flooded the building. The hypersonic screech was so intense that a few of the stage lights exploded. When she stopped, Serenade breathed in heavily and tried to take in as much air as her lungs could hold. "I always hate doing that. It blows out my voice box for a couple hours, but it should keep you from following me." She explained. Her voice was now raspy and hoarse after her scream. "This stupid town isn't ready for my vision. I'll start my plan again in another town." She reasoned.

Serenade tried to make a run for an exit, but was soon thrown off balance by a sudden tremor. She wobbled from the quake and soon fell over onto the ground. Dark Duchess walked over and restrained her with some dark binds. All while Luna looked at the scene with a chuckle.

...

Within a couple of minutes, the police arrived and arrested Serenade and got Luna and her friends home safely. Back at the house, Luna and her sisters were watching the news report of the incident as a female correspondent summarized the details. "…The woman is now in custody and, thanks to testimony from The Sound Barrier and the kidnapped individuals who declined to be named, authorities are taking precautions against her abilities. The investigation on if the security guards at the site were also brainwashed or not are still on going." Luna clicked the remote and turned off the TV with a sigh.

"Look, guys. I'm sorry for being so stubborn today. If I had just turned the volume down, none of this would have happened." Luna apologized. Lola shrugged in response.

"Meh. You said she was stalking you, she would have tried to catch you sooner or later." Lucy nodded and looked at her big sister.

"Besides, we were kind of being a bit harsh. We're no better when it comes to what we like."

Luan chuckled. "Yeah, I mean take me for example. It's pretty foolish of me to judge you considering what I've done on April First." Luan laughed as Luna gave her a cold scowl. "But seriously sis, I'm sorry for being a jerk. Forgive me?" She asked with a hopeful expression. Luna slowly gave off a grin and gave her little sister a hug.

"Totally dude. Water under the bridge."


Ah, finally got it put up. It feels so good to finally get this off my to do list!

If you enjoyed this, or have an idea for an episode or villain, be sure to leave a review. And speaking of ideas... there has been a guest reviewer leaving a lot (and I mean A LOT! Like, "flooding the review section" a lot.) of good ideas. Such as villains named Slush and Harvest, and even a plot-line featuring time travel and a new character named Safeguard. Though I give you my thanks for these ideas, and I might consider them, I want to reiterate that I want an actual pen-name, and not just "guest". Otherwise I will not give credit them, or even use it at all. So if you left these ideas... You need to type a username of some kind for future suggestions! Otherwise... straight into obscurity, or worse, the wastebasket.

Especially since there is a chance one such villain suggestion could appear in the next chapter should they follow this guideline *wink*.

Till next time! Peace.
