I'm very excited for today's episode. Brace yourselves folks! It's going to be a bit long, but I think you guys will enjoy this one. I have a few things to say in this intro, so I'ma keep this short. Review time!

REVIEWS

Omni Spectator - I believe you do have the right character in mind. However, the character isn't really back. At least not yet.

J - Yeah, it might be awhile before the Louds begin to trust Carol. However, this episode is definitely going to start building up a relationship between them. In regards to your side note, I think that's a great idea, and I may very well do that plot in the future.

Guest - It's okay if you're confused. Your confusion should be cleared up in this episode. Trust me, you weren't that far off...

Indy Scott - Yup! Carol's back alright! There might be a specific reason why you're feeling that sense of deja vu. The new threat in this episode isn't really new though...You'll see what I'm talking about.

There's no real way to summarize this episode so I'll let it speak for itself. Reviews and constructive criticism welcome!

NB: Credit goes to Nick Name for the name of this episode's villain. Credit also goes to a Guest for a scene of dialogue within this episode. Thank yous go to you both.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Loud House. All rights belong to Nickelodeon.

NB: The theme song is "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons, with my own little twist in the lyrics. It follows the same tune though, of course. I felt like the song fit perfectly with the series so, here we are. You can kind of imagine Lincoln singing the lyrics if you like, as I feel they're sort of based off of him.

Theme Song

Just a young gun with a quick fuse

I was uptight, wanna let loose

I was dreaming of bigger things

And wanna leave my old life behind

Not a yes sir, not a follower

Fit the box, fit the mold

Don my mask and attire, my new persona

I was "Lightning" before the "Thunder"

Thunder, thunder

Thunder, thun- thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder, thunder

Thunder, thun-thunder

Thun-thun-thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the Thunder!

Lightning and Super Thunder!

Thunder, feel the Thunder!

Lightning and Super Thunder!

Thunder, thunder

Thunder!

Episode 10: Trade Winds Part 2

The next morning, Super Thunder and Carol arrived at Digi-Tech for Carol's training. Leni and Lily had been left behind at home to look after Lori. It had been storming all night and it had continued well into the morning. It actually seemed to have gotten worse...

*elevator doors open and Super Thunder and Carol exit*

"*walks toward them* Welcome back Super Thunder! *sees Carol* Oh. I see you've brought company." said Dave, a bit nervous.

"It's okay Dave. Carol's on our side." said Lynn Sr.

"We were hoping we could use your facilities for training." said Lisa.

"She's joining the team?" asked Dave confused.

"She's just an ally for now. Lori's out sick and we need a replacement for a few days." said Lisa.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Well, of course, you guys are welcome to train with her here...And I think I have just the place in mind. Follow me!" said Dave, walking off, with Super Thunder and Carol following him close behind.

The scene then switches as lab doors are opened, revealing a young black woman currently engaged in combat with purple polygonal figures.

"What the heck are those things?" asked Luna, going on the defensive.

"It's alright Luna. It's just a simulation." said Dave. "Mona!" Dave called out.

Upon seeing Dave, Mona ceased fighting and turned off the simulation by tapping her wristwatch.

Mona had black hair that was styled in an afro, brown eyes, and wore a sleeveless orange shirt and purple baggy pants.

"Hey Dave. Super Thunder. What brings you here?" asked Mona, walking over to the group.

Mona then noticed Carol standing among the team. She was confused but then saw the look on Dave's face.

"Mona...Carol's here to train with her powers. Lori's sick and she's stepping in as the replacement for a few days. I know the lab's still in development but Super Thunder was hoping that she could use it." said Dave.

"Well, the battle simulator isn't completed yet, but the lab is fully functional otherwise. Sure. She can use it." said Mona.

"Oh thank you Ms. Mona!" said Lisa.

"You're welcome Lisa. Alright Carol, let's run a solo assessment on you first. Just to see what you can do." said Mona.

Mona then scrolled across the face of her wristwatch, and selected an icon that looked like a robot sensei.

Suddenly, the exact same robot sensei pictured on the watch, rose up from the ground in the middle of the lab. It appeared to be a simple martial arts dummy. It's body was entirely gray, and it only wore a black headband and belt.

"This is C.A.M. He's a Combat Assistant Measurement. As you spar with him, he'll record the strength of your attacks, how fast you attack, and determine your ideal fighting style." said Mona.

"Whoa! This thing is cool! They should have one of these at the gym!" said Lynn, in awe.

"Alright Carol. You ready to try it?" asked Mona.

"Okay." said Carol, a bit nervous.

"Make sure it goes easy on her now." teased Lynn.

Carol ignored her with a huff and walked over to C.A.M. Carol was now facing C.A.M. and Super Thunder, Mona, and Dave were currently in a control booth watching her.

"*turns mic on* Okay Carol. Whenever you're ready. C.A.M.'s recording." said Mona.

Carol took a deep breath as she prepared herself. She then got into a fighting stance.

"How do you think she's gonna do?" asked Lana.

"Bad." said Lynn.

"Don't say that sweetie. Give her a chance." said Rita.

Carol then started attacking C.A.M., hitting him with wind blast after wind blast. She was hitting him so fast that his recording devices were having a hard time tracking her speeds.

"Good job Carol! Let's see how cold your ice is!" said Mona, via the microphone.

Carol then charged up an ice blast before releasing it at C.A.M., freezing him entirely solid. Carol was panting after her performance and looked to the control booth for some feedback.

"How'd she do Mona?" asked Dave curious.

"These are some interesting results...What's the highest wind strength that Lori's ever gotten to?" asked Mona.

"It was Category 5. When she used it against that wave." said Lincoln.

"And even then, Lori had to create a lot of wind to achieve that feat." said Lisa.

Super Thunder and Dave noticed a worried expression on Mona's face.

"Is something wrong Mona?" asked Rita.

"...Carol's wind strength and speed isn't even within the range of a Category 5 windstorm." said Mona.

Super Thunder just stared at her with shocked expressions.

"Are you saying Carol's wind powers are off the scale?" asked Lisa.

"It looks so." said Mona.

"It looks like Carol just TIPPED THE SCALES! Hahahaha! Get it?" joked Luan.

The Louds groaned as usual.

"What about her ice powers?" asked Lana.

"According to these temperature readings, they're below zero." said Mona.

"Yikes! That's ICE COLD! Hahahaha! Get it?" joked Luan.

The Louds groaned once more.

"So what does all this mean?" asked Lincoln.

"Well, I won't know for sure until I test her powers in an actual combat setting. You guys mind being her sparring partners?" asked Mona.

"I thought you'd never ask. Time for some action!" said Lynn.

Meanwhile at the power plant...

"Boss says there's a power imbalance at the main power source. He wants us to check it out." said one of the workers.

"Do we have to check it out now Pete? It's stormin' out here!" asked the other worker.

"We won't be long Lou. Come on. I'm sure it's nothing more than a faulty surge protector or something." said Pete.

Pete input the code to open the door to the main power source building. Once the door opened, he and Lou were met with a shocking surprise. Standing before them appeared to be Wind Vane, but her entire body was of a monochrome scale.

"Hey! Aren't you-"

Pete was suddenly cut off as both him and Lou were pushed out of the building by a blunt gust of wind. This gust of wind seemed to have left the two workers paralyzed.

"Wh-Wh-What happened to you Wind Vane?" asked Lou terrified.

"Wind Vane? Who's that? I'm Hurricane." said Nega-Lori, now known as Hurricane.

"What did you do to us?! We can't move!" said Pete, desperately trying to move.

"I literally paralyzed you guys. That's what you get when you mess with a Hurricane...Uh, bye." said Hurricane, as she flew off, leaving the two workers helpless on the ground.

As she flew by each of the power transformers, the electrons coming from them attached themselves to her. This weakened the power output of each transformer, but made the storm stronger as a result.

Meanwhile at the Loud House...

"Here's your soup Lori! I totes hope it makes you feel better." said Leni, handing her some chicken noodle soup.

"*sniffles* Thanks Len." said Lori, as she began eating the soup.

"*hears thunder boom outside* This storm is totes freaking me out." said Leni.

"It's literally just a storm Leni. There's nothing to worry about." said Lori.

Suddenly, a silver-whitish lightning bolt struck the Loud House, which killed all the power.

*Lori and Leni shriek*

*Lily starts crying*

"Shh Lily! Shh! It's okay!" said Leni, trying to calm her baby sister down. "Lori, what was that?!" asked Leni, now frightened.

"I literally don't know!" said Lori.

Just then, she saw that the wind strength had picked up significantly outside. Trees were being blown violently, houses were starting to lose a few shingles and people were having a hard time walking down the sidewalk.

"A windstorm is coming." said Lori dramatically.

"Yeah, it's like, really bad out there. *sees Lori get up* Where are you going?" asked Leni.

Lori ignored her question and opened the front door. As soon as she did, she was hit in the face with a blunt gust of wind.

"*feels a slight shock* This is definitely not a natural windstorm." said Lori.

"You think Carol's behind this?" asked Leni sheepishly.

"No. Carol's wind has a chill to it. This wind...this wind feels like mine but stronger." said Lori.

"How is that possible?" asked Leni.

"*sneezes* I don't know, but I have to find out." said Lori.

"Lori, you can't go out there! You're totes still sick!" said Leni concerned.

"I'm the only one who can deal with this wind storm Leni! Carol's still in training! Are you with me?" asked Lori.

"...Like, of couse I am. Lead the way sis." said Leni.

Lori and Leni then activated their PortaPendants and donned their super suits. Leni activated Lily's PortaPendant for her.

"I think we should go invisible Len. Can't have the neighborhood seeing us like this." said Lori.

"Totes good call." said Leni, as she turned herself, Lori, and Lily invisible.

The three girls then left the Loud House, and headed towards downtown.

Back at Digi-Tech...

*Carol is currently sparring with Luna*

"*knocks Carol back with a shock wave* Come on dude! You've got to try harder than that!" said Luna.

Carol then disappeared as she turned herself into wind. She reappeared behind Luna, ready to attack, but Luna was ready for her.

"*knocks Carol back with another shockwave* Sorry dude. I saw you coming. I've studied that Cadence." said Luna.

"Mind if I cut in?" asked Lucy, as she lifted Carol off the ground, using her telekinesis.

"*grunts* Let me go!" exclaimed Carol.

"Break free." said Lucy.

Carol became frustrated and managed to break free of Lucy's hold by turning into wind once more. When she reappeared, she was met with a torrent of fireballs.

"The heat's on!" said Lola, brandishing a fireball in her palm.

"Bring it sister!" said Carol, as she suddenly rushed Lola, hitting her with wind blast after wind blast.

Lola kept up with her by firing back her offense, but was suddenly cut off by her mother.

"Mama's turn!" said Rita.

"Mrs. Loud, I don't think we have to-"

Carol was suddenly cut off, as she nearly dodged Rita's foot.

"Let's go Carol! Keep up!" said Rita.

Carol decided to put her thoughts aside, and began melee fighting with Rita.

Carol tried to knock her back with a wind burst, but Rita countered it by shape-shifting her hand into a mallet. Carol then tried to attack her leg, but Rita countered by turning her leg into a cinderblock.

"*hops away in pain* Ow! Ow! Ow!" said Carol.

She was suddenly grabbed and pulled towards Lynn Sr.

"Ah, the ol' cinderblock trick. Gets 'em every time." said Lynn Sr.

"Hmph. It's a dirty trick." said Carol, as she tried to trip Lynn Sr. down, but he stopped her leg by wrapping his other limb around it.

"Now that's what you call playing dirty." said Lynn Sr.

"No, this is!" said Carol, as she turned into wind once more, leaving behind a wind burst.

Carol reappears and gets attacked by ice balls*

"After fire comes the ice!" said Lana, skating up to her.

"*shoots ice balls at Lana* You're not the only one who's cold!" said Carol.

"I'll say! I'm getting the COLD SHOULDER over here! Hahahaha! Get it?" joked Luan.

"Oh I'm sorry. Allow me to bring you in." said Carol, as she started attacking Luan with ice balls.

Luan defended against them by putting up a wall of light. It was pretty much a light screen.

"Sorry Carol. Even in practice, I don't make LIGHT of a situation." said Luan.

"And I don't either!" said Carol, as she started bombarding Luan with wind bombs.

This actually blindsided Luan, to the point where she couldn't even counter attack.

"Whoa! Mona was right. This WIND is in a CATEGORY all on it's own!" said Luan.

Carol was about to knock Luan to the ground with another wind burst, but before she was able to, she was tackled to the ground by Lynn.

"*sees shocked expression on Carol's face* Looks like I knocked the wind out of you." said Lynn, with a laugh.

Just then, a loud beeping was heard in the lab.

"*turns mic on* Alright guys. That was good practice! Great job to all of you!" said Mona, from the control booth.

"You guys are welcome to take a break in the cafe if you want." said Dave, using the mic as well.

"Oh yeah! I'm starving! Come on guys!" said Lana.

The rest of the Louds started following behind her, heading out the lab doors. Mona and Dave left the lab via the door in the control booth.

"Can you get off me now Lynn?" said Carol annoyed.

"Huh? Oh yeah. Sorry Carol." said Lynn, with a bit of sarcasm.

"*gets up* What's your problem?" asked Carol.

"I'm not the one with the problem. You are." said Lynn slyly.

Carol just scoffed and started to walk away from Lynn.

"What's the matter? You can't handle the fact that you messed up? Your whole life's a failure Carol. What? You think you switching sides to "play hero" is gonna change anything?...You're just wasting time." said Lynn.

Something inside Carol suddenly snapped. She abruptly turned around and blew the red dressed hero back with a powerful wind gust. Lynn was caught off guard and was now staring up at Carol from the ground.

"I don't need you to tell me how bad I messed up, okay?! I live with that EVERY. DARN. DAY." said Carol.

When a shocked Lynn didn't respond, Carol continued.

"At home, my parents love me, but they are always worried that I'm going to get in trouble again. At school, any "friends" I had are long gone. Everyone either hates me for what I've done or are scared out of their minds of me because I could "become evil" any second. The only friend I have now is Lori who, despite everything I've done to her, you, and your family, is trusting me to help save everyone. And I can't even do that right! I try and try to be a better person, but all I ever do is make things worse. I know this! So I really don't need you to tell me that." said Carol, finishing her rant.

Lynn let all of this slowly sink in, realizing just what Carol was going through. Letting your judgement be impaired, people getting hurt because of what you helped to cause, and being unable to shake off what you did whether or not people forgave you. It all sounded so painfully familiar, like these same thoughts had often plagued...

"Me." said Lynn.

"What?" said Carol confused.

"I-I get it. I know what you're going through." said Lynn.

"You really do huh? This is coming from the girl who apparently wins all the time." said Carol.

"I mean, I'd like to, but I don't win all the time. I've taken some L's...and some of those L's almost cost the team..." said Lynn, as she started to have some flashbacks.

FLASHBACKS

"...Alright look, Royal Woods' hour is almost up, so I'm gonna make this quick. All I need from you guys, is for Strong Johns here to break down the door to the power source. Do that, and I'll just treat you guys as my hostages. If you don't, well, don't worry I'll have you all out to the curb in time for trash pickup." said Jack.

"Grr! You're the trash, you scumbag! I'll break down your face!" yelled Lynn, as she charged toward Jack, who was standing in front of the door of the main power source building.

"No! Lynn, wait!" yelled Lincoln, but it was to no avail. As Lynn readied her fist to punch Jack square in the face, he moved out the way at the last second, ultimately accomplishing what he wanted all along. Lynn punched straight through the wooden door, granting Jack access to the interior.

"Haha! Thanks kid! I knew I could count on your stupidity to get me inside!" said Jack, as he ran inside the building, with the protactinium activator switch in hand.

"Ugh...come back here and say that to my face! Ow!" said Lynn, slightly hurt.

"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.

"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!..."

"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.

"We gotta find the door!" exclaimed Becky, as she moved away from Luan and Lynn, in search of the exit.

"Wait Becky!" exclaimed Luan. "Becky?..." asked Luan.

Becky was now obscured from her view. The fog was getting really thick around Luan and Lynn.

"Dang it Lynn! This is all your fault!" exclaimed Luan.

"How is this my fault?!" asked Lynn.

"You're the one who pulled that stupid can down! How are you hungry in a haunted house?!" asked Luan flustered.

"I skipped breakfast! And lunch." said Lynn.

"*sighs* Look. We can argue about this later. We need to find Becky! Time to light up!" said Luan, about to active her PortaPendant to don her superhero attire.

Suddenly, Becky's scream was heard amidst the fog.

"BECKY?!" exclaimed Luan and Lynn simultaneously.

Soon after her scream was heard, the eerie fog suddenly dissipated and Luan and Lynn were left in the kitchen alone.

"This isn't good." said Lynn.

"You think?" said Luan flustered and concerned.

"Hey, there's a note on the fridge!" said Lynn, taking a sticky note off the fridge.

"That wasn't there before. What does it say?" asked Luan, peering at it in Lynn's hands.

Lynn began to read the note. It said:

I hope the hunger was worth it foolish one.

Thank you for the exchange.

Me and your friend are going to have some FUN.

"Aww! They didn't even put anonymous?!" said Lynn.

"Lynn! Are you serious right now?! Becky's been kidnapped and all you care about is a signature?! I know I'm one for jokes, but this is not the time! Come on, we have to find Lori and the others!" exclaimed Luan, as she ran out the kitchen.

"*sighs* Stupid beans." said Lynn, as she dropped the can on the floor, and followed behind Luan.

END OF FLASHBACKS

"Wow. Even the mighty ones drop the ball." said Carol.

"*gets up* Look Carol, I'm not gonna stand here and pretend I'm perfect...I'm not. And I know you're not either..."

"*sighs* Lynn..."

"No, wait. I'm not done. I'm not good at this apology stuff...I'm sorry. I never really gave you a chance. I guess I'm still not over what you did to Lori and the rest of us." said Lynn.

"Hey, I don't expect you to. I get it if you don't trust me yet. Even if you never do, I'm not gonna give up. I may not be able to make up for the past, but I'm gonna do whatever I can to have a better present." said Carol.

"You know what Carol? I respect that. Maybe this can work." said Lynn.

"I think so too." said Carol.

Lynn then extended her hand for a handshake, and she and Carol shook hands.

"We'll start off with a handshake for now. We'll work our way up to hugs." said Lynn.

"Fair enough." said Carol.

Just then, the lights in the lab started to dim, eventually losing their power all together.

"What's going on?" asked Lynn confused.

Lynn and Carol then heard Lynn Sr. say something through their communicators, but his message was being overtaken by static.

"I think we better meet up with everyone else." said Lynn.

"After you." said Carol, as she and Lynn raced out the lab doors.

Meanwhile, in downtown, the storm had gotten even worse. Random lightning strikes had killed all the power in town and the savage winds kept all the citizens from coming outside.

"Now this is literally perfect. I can't wait for everyone else to get here. We're gonna own this city." said Hurricane, currently floating above the city streets.

*Hurricane hears a sneeze behind her and turns around to see Lori as Wind Vane*

"*wipes her nose* That's literally not how I wanted to introduce myself." said Lori.

"Who are you?" asked Hurricane.

"Who are you?" asked Lori confused.

"Don't answer my question with a question! That's literally annoying." said Hurricane.

"Are you supposed to be...No..." said Lori, in shock.

"*notices Lori's attire* Wait. Are you Wind Vane?" asked Hurricane.

"Yeah. But you're not." said Lori.

"Oh I know. I'm Hurricane. See this storm? *disappears then reappears behind Lori* It's mine. When I move...*moves her hand and a wind gust blows Lori back a bit*...it moves." said Hurricane.

"I've dealt with storms before sister. I can take whatever you throw at me." said Lori.

"Alright. We'll literally see about that." said Hurricane, as she suddenly blew Lori away from her with a heavy gust of wind.

"Whoa! That's literally not my wind." said Lori.

"Why are you surprised? Were you expecting me to be you?" asked Hurricane.

"Ugh...this has got me feeling deja vu." said Lori, holding her throbbing head.

She still had a slight headache from her cold.

"If you weren't gonna fight, you should've stayed in bed." said Hurricane, as she hit Lori with another wind burst.

"*coughs* I literally should've..." said Lori.

Meanwhile with Super Thunder...

"Wow. There's no one out here." said Lana.

"You can see why. This storm's crazy!" said Lola.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt came out of nowhere and struck dangerously close to the Thunderbolt.

"Ahh! What was that?!" asked Lynn Sr. frightened.

"Honey, look out!" exclaimed Rita, as she pointed out Leni standing in the middle of the road with Lily.

Leni instinctively put up a force field to protect her and her baby sister from impact. Once Thunderbolt was stopped by the force field, Super Thunder and Carol exited the van to meet Leni and Lily.

"Invisi-Girl! Are you and Remedy okay?" asked Rita concerned.

"Yeah we're fine Mom, but someone totes needs to help Wind Vane." said Leni.

"Wind Vane? What is she doing out here?" asked Rita.

Before Leni could respond, Lori was suddenly seen plummeting towards the ground.

"She's gonna hit the ground dudes!" exclaimed Luna.

"No she's not!" said Carol, as she suddenly flew up into the sky to catch Lori before she fell.

"*groans and slowly opens her eyes* Carol?" said Lori weakly.

"You really don't look good Lori. You need some rest." said Carol concerned.

Lori only responded with a cough. As soon as Carol landed on the ground, the Louds quickly surrounded Lori.

"Lori! Oh Lori! *looks at Carol* Thank you Carol." said Rita, as she took Lori in her arms.

"Don't thank me yet. I've still got a job to do." said Carol, as she suddenly flew back up into the storm.

"I wish there wasn't so much ding dang static! I hope Super Sense and the others are close to figuring out this problem." said Lynn Sr.

Meanwhile, back at the power plant, Lisa, Lincoln, and Lynn were currently standing in front of the main power source.

"Ah-ha! Just as I suspected. These electrons have been turned into static particles!" said Lisa, reading the report from her super electrometer.

"Static?! You don't think-"

"Ol' Electro's back?" said Lynn, finishing Lincoln's statement.

"Maybe, but I won't know for sure until I check at Digi-Tech. Right now, Lincoln, I need you to get rid of all this static. It's what's powering this super storm." said Lisa.

"Got ya." said Lincoln, as he started discharging electricity at the main power source.

His electricity started unraveling the static particles one by one. As the static faded, power started to come back to the transformers. This started weakening the power of the storm, and Hurricane felt her power and herself fading.

"*sighs* Literally perfect." said Hurricane, watching herself fade away.

"Hey, don't quit on me now! I just started fighting you!" said Carol.

"Oh don't worry. I'll literally be back. And next time, I'm bringing a real storm." said Hurricane, as she faded out of existence.

With her disappearance, the storm disappeared as well. Power was restored and Royal Woods was back to normal again.

"The storm's over father! Lincoln was able to get rid of all the static!" said Lisa, via communicator.

"That's great Lisa! We're heading over to the power plant to pick you guys up! (to Carol) Come on Carol! It's time to go!" said Lynn Sr., via communicator.

"Okay Mr. Loud!" said Carol, via communicator. "That girl sure looked like Lori...And sounded like her too." thought Carol, as she flew down to the Thunderbolt.

Later that day at Digi-Tech...

"*scans Electrostatic with the super electrometer* His electrical current is the same as when I scanned him the last time. I don't understand it." said Lisa.

"According to these reports, there was a spike in his electrical energy from this past week." said Dave.

"We need to monitor these spikes. The next one could prove to be even more dangerous." said Lisa.

"Yeah. No kidding." said Dave, as he and Lisa just stared at Electrostatic, who was still lying in his bed unconscious.

About a week later...

"*hears a knock at the door and answers it* Hi there Lori!" said Mrs. Pingrey.

"Hey Mrs. Pingrey. Is Carol home?" asked Lori.

"Yes. She's in her room. Come on in." said Mrs. Pingrey, as she let Lori in.

Carol was sitting on her bed, trying to do some homework.

"*knocks on Carol's door* Hey Carol." said Lori.

"*looks up* Hey Lori! You look better." said Carol.

"I literally feel better." said Lori.

"So what's up? Is there an emergency or something?" asked Carol.

"No. I just came to see if you wanted to hang out." said Lori.

This caught Carol by surprise.

"R-Really? You want to hang out with me?" asked Carol.

"Yeah. We can go to the mall. Plus, I think you could use a friend." said Lori.

Carol started to cry a little when she suddenly got off her bed and went to hug Lori.

"Thanks Lori." said Carol.

"You're welcome Carol." said Lori, as she and Carol separated from their embrace. "Oh! I have something for you." said Lori.

"What is it?" asked Carol.

Lori then pulled out a PortaPendant with a tornado symbol on it.

"Wait. Is this-?"

"Try it on." said Lori.

Carol put the PortaPendant on her wrist and then pushed the tornado symbol on it. Suddenly, a digital image of a super suit was scanned onto her.

Her suit was purple with sky blue accents. It had a sky blue cape, a tornado insignia on the front, and sky blue gloves and boots. The only thing it didn't have was a mask.

"L-Lori...I don't even know what to say! I didn't really need a suit. Everyone already knows it's me!" said Carol.

"Royal Woods already knows Carol, but they don't know she's a hero." said Lori.

"Well, if I'm gonna be a hero, I'm gonna need a new name." said Carol.

"Instead of Cyclone, how about Twister?" said Lori.

"Twister! That's it! Nice one sister!" said Carol, as she and Lori high-fived.

Just then, Lori and Carol received a message on their communicators.

"Lori! Some criminals are hiding out on a rooftop! Think you can get 'em down with an air strike?" asked Lynn Sr.

"Sure. Carol and I will be right over." said Lori.

"Great! Two winds are better than one! See you girls there!" said Lynn Sr., as he ended the communication.

"You ready to clear the air Twister?" said Lori.

"Let's give those criminals some direction Wind Vane." said Carol.

Lori then activated her PortaPendant and donned her super suit.

"Guess we'll have to hang out later." said Lori.

"There'll always be time for that! Let's go!" said Carol, as she flew out her bedroom window, with Lori following her close behind.

The two heroines then flew towards downtown, ready to put the wind to work.

*exhales deeply*

This took awhile to write but I hope you guys enjoyed it. I know this was a long read so I'mma keep this short.

Don't forget to check out the Super Louds forum for those who are interested. Next time, we'll be heading back to Great Lakes City for some more SLTS: Tarantula's Tales!

I'll see you all then!
